After becoming the villain

Chapter 162 "The right to recommend" and "General Zhu Guo"

When Zhang Chunhua heard this, his heart moved secretly for a moment, and he couldn't help himself.

"So, Your Majesty, you also like this gift?"

"Of course I do." Yan Wulu replied. "...Didn't I say that before?"

"Your Majesty, the gift Chunhua mentioned before was the 'gift' from that night, and what she is talking about now is the current sachet."

Zhang Chunhua explained with a smile. It was only at this moment that Yan Wulu discovered that this girl was playing a word game, and he smiled helplessly.

"...Of these two gifts, which one do you prefer, Prince?" Zhang Chunhua whispered in his ear.

"This is..."

Yan Wulu seemed to be hesitant, and he turned to say: "...The 'gift' that night was a long time ago, and I can't remember it clearly."

"...If tonight, Chunhua, you can send me one more time, let me feel it, so that I can tell you again, which one do you like?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chunhua smiled shyly and agreed in a whisper.

Yan Wulu also smiled. He turned sideways and asked Zhang Chunhua for a kiss in advance before looking forward again.

……

On the way to the martial arts examination room, the Zhenbei Cavalry Guard sent by Yan Wulu reported back——

It's about the City Defense Department.

They've found evidence, but haven't done it directly.

Yan Wulu understood.

In order to make sure that everything was safe, he asked Zhang Chunhua, who was a sixth-level Dzogchen warrior, to lead more than twenty cavalry guards to go together, and fight together with the cavalry guards who gathered and stayed there.

At the same time, let the knight in front of you pass a message to Amaro——

"Master... don't wander around Jinling City all day, it's time to start killing people!"

The cavalry guard was a little surprised and wondered whether he should forward the original words. He felt that this was somewhat inconsistent with Yan Wulu's status as the prince of Zhenbei.

But Yan Wulu waved his hand slightly, indicating that the monk liked to kill people. Only after hearing this, he would be motivated.

……

……

Daqian's martial arts competition is divided into four rounds of tests.

The first round is naturally an audition.

It's called the "rural examination."

It is held in various prefectures, towns and counties, and local young warriors participate in the selection.

It started a few months ago.

From a large number of participants, candidates who are qualified to come to Jinling and enter the other three rounds of testing will be selected.

Each region controls the corresponding proportion of people, and finally a total of 840 people.Among them, the Jinling area occupies an absolute number.

This first round alone took almost a long time, and it was also the round with the largest number of people.

Even though there are many young masters who come from aristocratic families in other places, there is no guarantee that they will be able to pass this first round of martial arts audition.

Of course, if it is the Jinling family, it will not be the case...

The large Jinling family has the "right to recommend", which means that each Jinling family can recommend one or more candidates to skip the first round of auditions and directly participate in the second round of testing at Jinling.

The specific number of people that can be recommended depends on how strong the family's power is.

For example, the Qin family, the leader of the Jinling family, has a total of forty recommended places.Approximately one-twentieth of the places were occupied in one fell swoop.

Not to mention that there are other large and small Jinling families, this martial arts competition did not leave many opportunities for the others from the beginning.

After the recommended quotas for all Jinling families are exhausted, there will be less than 840 quotas out of [-], which will be left to thousands of people from other regions to compete for through the first round of martial arts auditions.

But I heard that the Qin family has never used this recommendation privilege since Qin Shuzheng became the head of the family.

Prime Minister Qin is an upright man.

He has always disdained the use of privileges to cheat on such things. Even if the fraud was officially recognized, Prime Minister Qin didn't bother to use it.

It is said that this year, Qin Chechu, the direct son of Prime Minister Qin, will participate in the martial arts examination and will be selected step by step from the first round of the "provincial examination".

After these 840 people were selected, that is, after "passing the provincial examination", they had become "martial arts candidates".

After the military Juren ranks, he can accept the appointment of the court and become a lower-level general or other military officer.

Even if they are unemployed in the countryside, their status as a "Martial Arts Scholar" will bring them unexpected conveniences.

Martial arts candidates can also come to Jinling City to participate in the remaining three rounds of martial arts tests within the specified dates to gain higher honors.

When I first arrived in Jinling, I participated in the second round of tests, which focused on military literacy and command strategies.Then there are examinations for fixed subjects such as horse shooting, infantry shooting, horizontal shooting, carbine shooting, weight-bearing, and wrestling.

Finally, the score ranking is launched, from high to low, and the top [-] are taken.

It is worth mentioning that in many cases, there are not even 840 martial arts candidates who take part in this test.

Some of the disciples who were attached to the Jinling Family just wanted to take advantage of the "right of sponsorship" of the Jinling Family and pretend to be a "martial arts practitioner".They know nothing about martial arts and military affairs, let alone writing military strategies.

And many martial arts candidates selected by audition from other areas have long known the darkness of the martial arts examination in Jinling City. They will not come at all. They can only quit as candidates who "passed the provincial examination".

In the third round of testing, the 300 people selected earlier will be divided into batches and groups of 30 people to complete a comprehensive competition decided by a chief examiner and eight deputy examiners...

Adopting the point system, during this period, they faced not only the challenges set by the examiners, but also threats from people in the same group.

In this round, the eight players with 260 points at the bottom will be eliminated.

Only 32 people are left.

And each of these 32 people can be regarded as a Deng Kewu Jinshi, that is, they have been shortlisted for the final round of competition.

As for this last round of competition, it can truly be regarded as a "competition".

Its significance is mainly to rank these 32 people and select the top three—Wu Zhuangyuan, Wu No. [-], and Wu Tanhua.

……

Yan Wulu was lucky.

As an ally and personal friend of the Honored Prince Zhao Lingrui, he is also one of the most popular "Jinling Poet Saints" this year. Many Jinling families are willing to offer him a recommended spot.

Naturally, Yan Wulu was not as upright and upright as Prime Minister Qin Shuzheng.

He gladly accepted the privilege.

King Yu's supporter Gu Beiju, behind the scenes, the Gu family provided Yan Wulu with the right to recommend, so that Yan Wulu could avoid the extremely complicated audition process and start directly from the second round of testing.

Yan Wulu was born in the Zhenbei Army, and the subjects in the second round of tests, regardless of the academic and martial arts, were nothing more than pediatrics for him.

Easy pass.

It was precisely because of this that Yan Wulu was able to appear so leisurely in this third round of martial arts testing.

……

A large and magnificent pavilion.

The flat and boundless military platform.

As well as a strategic viewing platform surrounded by Daqian sergeants.

In Daqian’s martial arts competition this year, it seems that the examiner is Yuchizuo, the general of Dongzhu Kingdom.

Speaking of General Wei Chizuo of the Dongzhu Kingdom, there is another story with a lot of origin.

Among the armies directly under Daqian, the armies of the generals of the four pillar states of East, West, South and North are the most famous.

The four generals of the country are considered to be the "pillars of the country". Each of them is a first-class military prince and an absolute superior.Each one of them guards the important places of Daqian.

However, General Wei Chizuo of Dongzhu Kingdom was a little different.

Yuchi Zuonai is the contemporary head of the Yuchi family of the Jinling family. His family has always claimed to be the descendant of Yuchiwei, the "last famous general" at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In recent years, Yuchizuo was transferred out of the station, separated from the army, and recalled to Jinling.

Yuchizuo seemed to understand something.

Your heart is unpredictable.

He had the intention of retiring and returning home.

However, the old emperor Zhao Purui has been "hardworking" to retain him.

Yuchizuo played "Begging for Bones" several times, but was finally appeased by the emperor.

This year, I have been entrusted with the special and important position of examiner of the Daqianwu Examination again, which can be said to be a distinguished status...

Of course, that would be unless he couldn't live without Jinling and couldn't control his subordinate armies.

In this martial arts competition, in addition to the chief examiner Yu Chizuo, there were also eight other deputy examiners. Without exception, they were all talkative people from several major Jinling families.

Among them is Gu Beiju, who represents the Gu family.

……

Yan Wulu and a group of mounted guards came here.

Go straight into the martial arts venue.

They were greeted by Gu Beiju.

As the deputy examiner of this martial arts examination, Gu Beiju should not have been so close to Yan Wulu, who was a candidate for the martial arts examination.

However, those who can come here must have a certain understanding of Yan Wulu's identity, so they are not surprised.

Gu Beiju warmly welcomed Yan Wulu.

He was even a little too enthusiastic, which made Yan Wulu feel slightly intrusive for a while.

Yan Wulu later also investigated the information about the Gu family and Gu Beiju... He only felt that he should keep a certain distance from each other to avoid "men and women accept each other without being intimate".

Gu Beiju led Yan Wulu to a loft and sat down.

From here, you can see the entire competition venue below, and the view is excellent.

"Master Gu is so kind, but it seems a little too comfortable here."

Yan Wulu suddenly spoke.

Indeed, compared to the martial arts candidates sitting casually around the martial arts arena, his place not only provides shade, but also has gorgeous and comfortable goose feather seat cushions, making him feel like he is in a different class.

"... Thinking about it, this should not be prepared for us exam takers, but for examiners like Mr. Gu."

Yan Wulu asked tentatively.

But Gu Beiju didn't care about this at all...

He smiled faintly and responded: "His Royal Highness, you are overthinking it. These positions are actually prepared for martial arts candidates like you."

Seemingly seeing that Yan Wulu was still a little unconvinced, Gu Beiju continued to explain——

"The positions in this attic are reserved for martial arts candidates recommended by the Jinling family."

"...And the ones around the martial arts field are for those martial arts examination candidates who were not recommended and advanced through the audition."

Gu Beiju finished speaking and expressed his intention clearly, that is to say, he didn't say anything more.

Yan Wulu sighed inwardly - no wonder his little aunt Yan Weiyu said that this great martial arts event was just a game played by the Jinling family.

It turns out that from here on, the distinction has been so obvious.

"I see."

Even though Yan Wulu was thinking a lot in his heart, he still maintained a polite smile on his face, "... In this case, Wulu would like to thank Mr. Gu for recommending me, otherwise, Wulu would have to go to the sun below. The sun is shining.”

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Gu Beiju chuckled, "...Your Majesty, Your Highness, you are a friend of Prince Yu, and also a friend of me, Gu Beiju. I, the Gu family, can still do this with a little effort."

"...Besides, even if my Gu family doesn't do it, I think there should be a large number of Jinling aristocratic families rushing to please you, right? How could I let you, the crown prince, endure the sun and rain with those rough men in the countryside? Where's the shower?"

Gu Beiju said.

Yan Wulu was not prepared to refute and accepted it with a smile.

He turned to look around the martial arts field, only to find that the number of non-Jinling family members participating in the martial arts competition this year seemed to be much higher than the number in previous years shown in the survey data...

Gu Beiju sat next to Yan Wulu's desk.

Perhaps sensing Yan Wulu's thoughts, Gu Beiju suddenly said with emotion -

"Your Highness, you must not know this yet, right?"

"...This year's martial arts competitions are no better than before. If His Royal Highness is not careful, let alone the top martial arts champion, even the tails of the top three may not be able to seduce him."

"Oh?"

Yan Wulu came to his senses after hearing this.

He felt a little curious about Gu Beiju's words.Didn't Yan Weiyu say that this martial arts competition contains more water than the ocean?
"... Mr. Gu can say this, it seems that he has already done the investigation for Wu Lu in advance."

"Hahaha, I can't hide it from the crown prince. Prince, please take a look."

Gu Beiju chuckled a few times and made slight gestures to guide Yan Wulu to look around the martial arts field.

"...There, the two people in red-orange flying fish uniforms are the two apprentices of Xia Hai, deputy commander of the Jinyi Division. The man's name is Ren Yi, who is also Xia Hai's adopted son. The woman's name is Xia Jingjing, Xia Hai's only son. female."

"...these two people are highly skilled in martial arts. They have always come out on top from the first round and are strong contenders for this year's martial arts champion. But...the prince does not need to worry too much about them. They have violated the rules of the Jinling family." The rules of the game are so sharp. Maybe in this round, they will be suppressed by the cooperation of others. "

Gu Beiju said, still with that slight smile on his face.

Yan Wulu also looked at the two people.

Ren Yi is a handsome man of medium height. When he smiles, he has a sense of friendliness, and when he doesn't smile, he has a sense of ruthlessness. But between his brows, he still has a righteous look.

but……

He seems to be a head shorter than Yan Wulu, about seven feet, and should be about the same height as Yan Weiyu. For a while, I don't know if Yan Weiyu is too tall, or Ren Yi is a little short?

That Xia Jingjing looks quite cute, with a bit of baby fat on her face, but overall she still has that extremely beautiful face shape, and she is dressed in the red orange flying fish suit of the Jinyi Department's high-level patrol, which is quite heroic.

The word "beauty" is well deserved.

It's just that it's not Yan Wulu's type.

It was early in the morning, and the sun had just risen, so it wasn't too fierce.

As for Ren Yi, he had already stood up himself to shade Xia Jingjing from the sun, and he even took out some famous candies and snacks from "Yipinzhai" from his pocket, and secretly handed them to Xia Jingjing.

Seemingly worried that Xia Jingjing would be too bored waiting for the martial arts competition to begin, Ren Yi kept talking to her, trying to make her happy.

But Xia Jingjing just put her head in her hands and sat in the shade supported by Ren Yi with a disgusted face. She found it boring.

She didn't want to talk.

She felt that her senior brother Ren Yi... talked a lot.
