Chapter 72, National Games Zuo Bo

In Tianwang City, there was a lot of commotion on the cross streets.

A small official walked up to the wooden sign and posted the latest notice issued by the imperial court.

People came and went in an endless stream, and the leisurely people gathered together, stretched their necks, and stared at the words on the notice.

After making a noise for a while, one person screamed, "Is there anyone who can read? Come and read."

"Nian Nian, Nian Nian!"

"Come read it!" A coachman touched a feeble scholar.

The frail scholar blushed, and hurriedly declined, "No, no, the distance is too far, I can't see."

"Come, come!" The woman in front heard the words, waved her arms, cleared a path, and pushed the soft voice of the book to the front of the notice.

The scholar's body was stiff and his face was purple. Hearing the urging from the people behind him, he tried his best and said in a low voice, "I, I don't know how to read."

"What?" The impatient person leaned up and patted the back of his head, pointing to his crown and the bookcase behind him, "You said you couldn't read?"

"Yes!" The frail scholar pushed away the crowd with some strength, and disappeared after a while.

"cut!"

"Pretend."

An official came slowly, and the two people beside him drew out their long swords in unison. The cold light frightened the common people to back away.

The official cleared his throat, looked down at the heads of Guizhou with his hands behind his back, and said, "Listen up, everyone."

"My Great Chu suffered from the danger of the Northern Li army. Since I am a resident of Great Chu, I should be loyal to the country. Therefore, every household sends out a man to serve in the military. If there are no males, we will pay two buckets of food, three feet of silk cloth and some Silver taels."

"Why?"

"Yes, there is only one man left in our family."

The common people complained in low voices, and when everyone was together, their voices became louder, and they all gained confidence, and began to shout passionately to express their dissatisfaction.

"Presumptuous!" The official changed his color, "I will prepare for military service in seven days! If you resist, you will be sent to prison!"

"what?"

Everyone complained.

"Could it be that we lost the battle?" One person said.

His words were like lighting a bomb in the crowd, and the suppressed people boiled up again.

The official changed his color, pointed at the crowd, and shouted: "Where is the little boy? How dare you spread rumors and endanger the stability of my great Chu, stand up if you have the ability!"

"Yes, I heard that many refugees from the north have come."

"When you said that, I remembered that my relatives live in a city in the north, which has always been deserted. During this time, many people suddenly appeared."

"Sure enough, we lost the battle and let us die!"

"Bah, you bastard imperial court!" One person secretly said.

"Bold, bold!"

Officials seem crazy.

The defeat of the army was certainly planned by the superiors, but the land lost was real, and the imperial court adopted a strict policy of silence.

Although it wasn't him who leaked this matter, it was closely related to him. If it got out, his head would be lost.

"It's gone, let me go! If you dare to spread rumors, you will be punished!" The official roared.

Once spread to ten, ten spread to hundreds, the story of Emperor Chu's increased military service and defeat in the territory spread to thousands of households.

Kofu
"Jiang Wangsheng accepts the order!"

The young eunuch Xiaojiu came to Jiangfu in person, and when he saw the young man coming out, he said slowly: "Your Majesty has an order, you can see that the dragon chariot does not kneel, so stand up to accept the order."

"Read!" Jiang Wangsheng's face was a little cold.

The young eunuch frowned. Although he was dissatisfied with his attitude, the most urgent task was to issue the order of the Emperor Chu.

"By God's fortune, the emperor said. Today, Great Chu is threatened by the Beili military disaster, and everyone in the Great Chu Wulin is in danger. Jiang Wangsheng, as the leader of the Great Chu Wulin, should take the lead and set an example."

"I order you to tidy up, mobilize all ninth-rank warriors, and go to the eastern border to empower the internal strength of our soldiers of Great Chu and strengthen the national strength. Thank you!"

Xiao Jiu closed the imperial decree and said: "Take the decree with both hands!"

"I don't accept the order!"

The young eunuch Xiao Jiu's expression changed, "Jiang Wangsheng is bold! Don't think that no one can suppress you because your martial arts are world-class."

"You can try."

The young eunuch's eyes shot out, and he put the imperial decree in his sleeve, already intending to do something.

Jiang Wangsheng looked up at the sky, flexed his fingers, shot towards the direction of the palace, and shouted: "Scatter!"

During the day, the thunder resounded through the sky.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony shook for no reason, like a frightened wild cat.

The young eunuch's face changed drastically, and he lost his voice: "How is it possible?"

"Go back and tell him that the inner power empowerment is a shortcut, and if it is held on a large scale, it will be unnatural." Jiang Wangsheng shouted coldly.

The young eunuch sighed softly, cupped his hands at Jiang Wangsheng, and flew away.

Dali Temple

Huang Mengjue walked to the small courtyard where Bie Fengjun often stayed.

Bie Fengjun stood beside the bamboo, carefully repairing the bamboo leaves.

"Mengjue, here we come." Bie Fengjun chuckled like a kind old man on the side of the road.

"Boss" Huang Mengjue called out.

Bie Fengjun looked back at Huang Mengjue, squinted his eyes, and nodded slightly, "Chen Yiqing fought in Beijing, you were seriously injured, how are you doing now?"

"It's completely healed, and the internal strength has still increased." Huang Mengjue replied.

Bie Fengjun took a deep breath and said, "Now our Dali Temple is undergoing a new generation, but it is showing a lack of success. Among the younger generation, there are only you and Qi Annan in Dali Temple."

"Boss, you are absurd." Huang Mengjue smiled lightly.

Bie Fengjun said: "There has been a lot of movement in Dachu recently, I want to hear your opinion." He stared at Huang Mengjue, "Your opinion, I don't want your father's opinion."

"Oh." Huang Mengjue rubbed his feet on the ground and said to himself: "My father didn't tell me the content of the court meeting, so I know relatively little. But isn't it good for us to have such a large-scale military service?"

Bie Fengjun nodded and said: "The autumn harvest is coming soon, this timing is indeed not appropriate."

"Then why."

Before finishing speaking, Bie Fengjun raised his hand and stopped her words, saying: "The harvest is certainly important, but in the eyes of His Majesty, the land is even more important."

"Let me introduce the situation to you."

Bie Fengjun organized some words and said: "In the north, we lost a lot of land, but in exchange for hard-won peace, the balance has been maintained for the time being."

Huang Mengjue nodded, waiting for his next words.

Bie Fengjun said: "The problem now is the East. The North is currently only guarded by the Shenwei Heavenly Army and some Huben Army, but the East. Gu Beitang led the army to invade on a large scale. Although it defended, it paid a very high price."

"So, so."

Bie Fengjun pursed his lips, "So if you want to restore the disadvantage, the number of warriors is very important."

Huang Mengjue believed it deeply: "If there are more fighters in the second rank and third rank in the army, it will definitely be beneficial to the battlefield."

"Yes, yes! If you want to increase the number of warriors on a large scale, the best way is to give you the inner power empowerment, do you know?" Bie Fengjun's increased body movements aroused Huang Mengjue's suspicion.

"Boss, what do you want to say?"

"I mean, well, you are very familiar with Jiang Wangsheng, can you convince him, let him, let him take the ninth grade, go to the east to give the soldiers inner power empowerment."

After finishing speaking, Bie Fengjun secretly scolded Emperor Chu in his heart.

Huang Mengjue showed a look of distress, "This is his freedom, how can I interfere? You can let Uncle Jiang say no? Or let His Majesty make an order."

"Well, I don't have much contact with him, but I know his character, he will take the soft but not the hard. His Majesty's decree may not make him willing to take action."

Seeing that the matter is not going to work, Bie Fengjun continued: "This is one aspect. Now, the problem in the south, do you know?"

"You sent someone to send me the dossier."

Bie Fengjun smiled happily, "Yes. The people in Dali Temple in the south are ready to act, but they need a leader. Mengjue, I hope you can go."

"I?"

Bie Fengjun said: "Yes. Now your ability to handle cases is quite good, but compared with these seniors, your ability to handle the overall situation is much worse. I hope you can practice it."

"Okay, I can!" Huang Mengjue was as firm as cutting ice and snow.

Bie Fengjun said: "Jiang Kongliu was conferred the title of Yushi of Youdu by His Majesty, and he should set off with you to go to the south to handle errands. You are rank nine, I hope you can protect his safety."

"Don't worry, boss."

"Okay, you can take a few more trustworthy people and go with you, and have someone to take care of you."

After Huang Mengjue left, Bie Fengjun breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? Are you nervous?"

Bie Fengjun's face turned livid, "It's just fear."

"Who do you fear?"

A figure came out.

Bie Fengjun sneered and continued pruning the bamboo branches.
