After becoming the villain

Chapter 97

This section has always been the most lively.

The people of Yanbei were extremely curious and even enjoyed hearing about the generals' horse battles.

Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Yan family has acquiesced in showing this link to the people of Yanbei City.

Yan Wulu was challenged by nine mounted guards in total.

Most of them were Zhenbei Cavalry Guards who had traveled with Yan Wulu.

Second only to the ten mounted guards who challenged Yan Dong.

Accepting the challenge of the cavalry guard is a supreme honor for the "champions" of the Yan family.

This means that these cavalry guards recognize the bravery of the champion, and they are willing to use their own failures to show the excellence of the champion to more people.

And if a champion comes along this way, no cavalry guard is willing to go out and challenge.

Of course, he has also completed the first step of the "Crown Ceremony".

only……

Everyone knows that he has not been recognized by others for his "martial courage".

Because the Zhenbei cavalry guards knew that if they went all out, they would knock him off the horse.

This is not the way to treat the "winners" of the Yan family, so they will not challenge it, and they will not let the "winners" of the Yan family be so embarrassed in public.

This is a tacit understanding of "seeing through but not telling off"...

On Yanbei Avenue.

Swords and guns staggered.

Yan Wulu's Wuyunju seemed to be able to feel its master's aura and thoughts.

Whenever there is a challenge from a mounted guard, it does not react much, but continues to move forward smoothly, allowing the mounted guard to rush past it.

Yan Wulu, one person and one horse, moved forward in a straight line at almost a constant speed.

The spear in Yan Wulu's hand was swung with the inner power of the blue sea. He made the spear powerful and invincible, much like Yan Dong's style back then.

Not to mention every mounted guard knocked Yan Wulu off his horse within seven rounds.

There are very few people who can guarantee that they can last for seven rounds.

This is the best performance for the winner of the Yan family.

The "Winner" was calm and completely restrained the Zhenbei Cavalry Guards who came to challenge within seven rounds.

In a horse fight, the horse does not have the mobility to change quickly, which will be extremely disadvantageous.

In the history of the Yan family, only Yan Dong has done this completely... Back then, ten of the ten horsemen who challenged the cavalry were all shot down by young Yan Dong.

But Yan Wulu's side will take longer...

Many challenging mounted guards lasted until three or four rounds.

Some captains of the cavalry even lasted for six rounds.

But Yan Wulu has some extra differences...

He did not dismount any of the challenging mounted guards, he simply deflected their weapons with his spear.

The cavalry guard who lost his weapon naturally admitted his defeat.

They clasped their fists in a respectful salute, then rode away.

This is the first "winner" in the Yan family's history to do this.

Don't let the challenger who is actually helping you fall off his horse.

Bravery and benevolence coexist.

It was also at this moment that the people of Yanbei realized clearly that the son of today is no longer the dandy he was back then.

He's really starting to change...

Become mature, strong, reliable, brave, and philanthropic.

They began to applaud and celebrate Yan Wulu's every successful defense.

After nine challenging mounted guards passed.

Yan Wulu also rode up to the Zhenbei Palace.

Eight tall soldiers worked together to open the palace door.

Yan Wulu dismounted.

Under the palace gate, he stretched his hands slightly to the left and right, and a servant immediately came forward to replace the general's armor of the Zhenbei Army.

And quickly changed into the official uniform of a senior palace scribe.

Although the Yan family started with martial arts and a family of military generals, this does not mean that the Yan family is a rough and rough man with no literary talent.

On the contrary, the ancestors of the Yan family actually produced many literary champions.

However, their brilliance was mostly overshadowed by the bravery of themselves or other Yan family members.

……

After being recognized in the first stage of "martial and bravery", the next step is the second stage - "literary and intelligent".

Yan Wulu put his hands in front of him like a scribe and walked towards the palace.

The following etiquette is much more complicated.

Most of them are about writing and solving puzzles, as well as tea and wine ceremonies.

The ancestors of the Yan family knew that the people would not like to see these, so they never prepared to show them.

The people on Yanbei Avenue gradually dispersed.

They couldn't enter the palace, and they didn't know what the subsequent procedures would be. They just thought that the martial arts, exciting horse fights, and excitement would be as exciting as before.

They retained their best guesses about the Yan family's mysterious "crown ceremony."

All gone.

Only a few children were left on the Yanbei Avenue, and they began to play with each other just like the Prince of Zhenbei did before and challenge the cavalry.

……

After writing the last word with a giant wolf-hair brush, Yan Wulu completed the second level of "literary wisdom".

He walked into the palace.

Just like before the gate of the palace, Yan Wulu stretched out his hand slightly to the left and right, and the servant stepped forward to replace him with the uniform of a cleric, and changed it into a serpent robe, which was extraordinarily gorgeous.

This is the last step - "getting the crown".

It was also at this point that the Yan family's special "crown ceremony" finally became similar to that of other powerful families.

The magnificent palace.

Yan Wulu walked in.

His father, Yan Dong, was already wearing the gorgeous and majestic black python robe of King Zhenbei, sitting on the throne waiting for him.

Yan Wulu bowed and saluted.

Yan Dong signaled him to get up, his face was upright and serious, completely different from the kindness and cordiality he used to be.

"Yan Wulu, my father is asking you, how do you want to reach the crown?" Yan Dong suddenly spoke, his voice as loud as an ancient bell.

Yan Wulu was a little confused.

This sentence is not included in the original etiquette of crowning...

They should now put on Yan Wulu three special symbolic crowns: "Zibu crown", "Pi Bian" and "Su crown" in the main hall of the palace, which symbolizes the supreme power and supreme glory.

Did the father suddenly change his mind?
Yan Wulu thought to himself.

And Yan Dong could also see Yan Wulu's doubts, so he explained -

"The Yan family's ceremony for receiving the crown has always been this way. However, the recipient of the crown will not be fully informed in advance."

"...Now, there are three top places. One is the Zhenbei Palace Hall, which represents the royal power and glory; the other is the [Loyal Soul Pavilion] on the back hill of the palace where countless Zhenbei army souls are buried; The third one...is your mother's Baishi cemetery (1)."

Yan Wulu was taken aback when he heard the words.

Especially after hearing about the last place to win the crown, seeing how serious Yan Dong was, he couldn't figure out what the next choice would mean.
"Yan Wulu, as a father, I ask you again, how do you think you can reach the crown?"

Yan Dong's voice came again.

It was time for Yan Wulu to make a choice...

"The royal palace represents royal power and glory, and it is because of it that my Yan family is so brilliant."
