Chapter 519 Taunt
[Changed back to two-update mode, for the sake of plot continuity, and also to improve my poor uniformity data]

It is said that today the first martial arts test was over, and when the King of Jinling returned to his residence, he was still indignant, swearing at people, throwing glasses, and kicking over tables and chairs, which made the servants trembling in fright.

His biological brother, the King of Kuaiji, and the counselor in his palace, Chen Dongyi, worked together to dissuade him. After a lot of good words, the King of Jinling gradually returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, what exactly happened on the martial arts school grounds today? Why is Your Majesty so angry? Your Majesty might as well tell me and let me think about it carefully." Advisor Chen Dongyi was very calm, with a smart look on his face.

King Jinling's face felt a little hot. He glanced at Chen Dongyi and wanted to get angry. His question seemed to King Jinling like he was deliberately exposing his scars.

However, King Jinling finally recovered his senses. As a counselor, he was actually quite talented.

If you tell him about this, maybe he can really make some suggestions.

But... what happened in the martial arts school today was so shocking that King Jinling found it hard to talk about it.

So he just stared at Chen Dongyi, holding his breath but closing his mouth tightly, his face was hot, he wanted to say but couldn't, he was so entangled.

"Sir, the situation is like this..."

Fortunately, his younger brother, King Kuaiji, was very perceptive. As soon as he saw King Jinling's appearance, he knew his concerns, so he took the initiative to take over the conversation.

Let's talk about what happened in the martial arts school today.

Not long after Chen Dongyi listened, he frowned tightly, strode up and down, fell into deep thought, and didn't speak for a long time.

"I really don't believe it!" Suddenly, King Jinling became excited again, "Isn't it just a run? How can it be so tiring? Come on, come on..."

The more the King of Jinling talked, the more excited he became. He shouted and walked out quickly, summoning the servants and maids from the mansion. They gathered in an open space in the garden, not knowing what to do.

The two of them, King Kuaiji and Chen Dongyi, followed him out and offered good advice, but King Jinling insisted on having his own way and ordered people to light countless lanterns, illuminating the open space in the garden.

Under the bright lights, dozens of servants and maids gathered here. They raised their heads slightly and stared at the King of Jinling. They saw his face was stern and his eyes were red, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.

Very scary.

The servants and maids only glanced at it and lowered their heads in panic, not daring to look further.

They were all frightened. They didn't know what the prince wanted to do by gathering them here. They felt like they were a fish in the flesh.

After a while, the servants and maids were stunned.

Some couldn't believe it and even thought they heard it wrong.

The prince...the prince actually let them...run!

Run around this huge garden space!
Could this be a new type of punishment?But they seem to have made no mistake!

Although the servants and maids were puzzled, the prince personally spoke, urged, and even punched and kicked them, so they didn't dare not run away.

So, in this huge garden space in the Jinling Palace, this strange scene was staged.

Under the bright lights, dozens of servants and maids were seen running in one direction, around the open space, as if being chased by a wolf...

The "wolf" behind them was naturally the King of Jinling. He shouted from behind: "Run, run for me. I will break the legs of anyone who falls behind!"

Broken legs!

So scary!

So whether it was a boy or a maid, they all rushed forward as if they didn't care about their lives.

The boys were okay. They had to do some rough work on weekdays, and they had some strength. Although they soon became out of breath, they could still persevere.

But those maids are terrible.

Their daily jobs are just cleaning tables and chairs, serving tea and pouring water, which are all light tasks, and besides, they are women...

Suddenly they ran away like they were desperate, and they were afraid that they would die soon, their footsteps were like lead.

They either stopped or fell to the ground. There were maids lying all over the flat ground in the garden.

The maids couldn't help but think of the words of King Jinling: "I will break the legs of anyone who falls behind." After that, they fell behind. When they thought about how they would survive if their legs were broken in the future...

Thinking of the tragedy, all the maids couldn't help but shed tears. They supported each other and cried in each other's arms.

"It's really useless!"

King Jinling's eyes were red. Looking at these maids, he really wanted to rush up and beat them up.

But he finally held back and waved his hand: "Pull it down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately came forward and dragged the maids away.

Breaking the legs was not carried out in the end, otherwise it would be bad for his reputation as King of Jinling if word spread about it.

In fact, he cherishes his feathers very much and maintains his identity. Those words just now are just to encourage people to run.

"Women naturally cannot compare with men!"

King Jinling muttered and stared closely at the dozen or so boys who were running wildly in the open space of the garden, scrambling for the first place and running very fast.

Seeing this scene, King Jinling couldn't help but laugh heartily, looking very proud.

King Kuaiji and Chen Dongyi asked him why he was laughing, but King Jinling laughed and said nothing.

However, just a moment after the miserable child of Jinling King had been complacent, the situation in the garden suddenly took a turn for the worse, as if an illness was coming like a mountain, and it changed too quickly.

I saw those little boys who were running very fast a moment ago. Although they were panting like cattle, they could still run wildly.

But now, not only did they distance themselves, there were many people falling behind, falling down, holding their waists and gasping for air.

This situation is exactly the same as the situation in the first martial arts test today!
King Jinling's eyes were red, staring like lanterns, his face full of disbelief.

He clenched his fists, trembling slightly, and roared angrily: "Run, run for me. The person who runs first will get a reward of a hundred taels!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

King Jinling's words really inspired the potential of the young men.

Those who were running in front ran faster, scrambling to catch up.

Those who had fallen behind struggled for a while, but couldn't bear it anymore. Finally, they stopped and collapsed on the ground, panting like an ox...

Behind King Jinling, King Kuaiji and Chen Dongyi looked at each other, then shook their heads slightly, but they didn't say anything.

"Run faster, the person who runs first will get a reward of 500 taels!"

King Jinling's eyes were red, like an eager gambler who had increased the final reward five times.

This stimulated the boys again, and they ran even more vigorously...

However, this is actually more like a catalyst. The boy who was able to persist for a while was completely unable to do so now.

Within a few breaths, more than a dozen boys stopped one after another, and some even fainted...

In the end, they all lay on the ground, their legs felt like lead, and they couldn't stand up.

"A bunch of trash! Get up, you all get up for me..."

Like an angry bull, the King of Jinling rushed over personally, punched, kicked and cursed the boys lying on the ground.

King Kuaiji and Chen Dongyi hurried over and tried to dissuade them together...

After a while of commotion, King Jinling calmed down.

The boys were so frightened that they ran away quickly regardless of their lead-like legs.

"I don't believe in this evil!"

King Jinling, who was pulled by King Kuaiji and Chen Dongyi, frowned and thought for a while, then got away from the two of them, feeling excited and with eyes as red as rabbits.

He personally walked into the garden flat and started running regardless of his manners. He held his breath and ran as fast as he could, hoping to prove that running is a very easy thing...

"Big brother!"

"My lord!"

King Kuaiji and Chen Dongyi were just anxious and had no way to deal with King Jinling.A quarter of an hour later.

King Jinling finally realized that feeling.

Really uncomfortable.

But he was stubborn in his heart and endured all kinds of discomforts. He still took steps and ran forward.

In fact, the King of Jinling also knew that running was indeed not a simple matter, and what Jiang Chengbo Zhu Xiuyuan did was correct.

However, this matter has nothing to do with right or wrong, and King Jinling instinctively resists this truth.

He was holding a breath in his heart. He wanted to prove to himself that running was very easy and simple...

Boom!
After all, King Jinling could not withstand it. At some point, he tripped and fell to the sky.

After falling down, I never got up again...

Time passed quickly, and when King Jinling woke up, it was already midnight, in the dead of night.

In front of King Jinling's bed, King Kuaiji and Chen Dongyi were guarding here.

Seeing that King Jinling was awake, both of them were very happy.

There was a tacit understanding that none of the three of them mentioned what had just happened. Only Chen Dongyi suggested that he should go with him to the martial arts competition tomorrow. Although he couldn't get into the VIP seats, he could still take a look at the ordinary seats.

King Jinling thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

After chatting for a while and seeing that King Jinling was fine, King Kuaiji and Chen Dongyi left and went back to their rooms to rest.

……

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Five miles south of the city is the martial arts school.

Chen Huang, You Guifei, civil and military officials, etc. have all arrived at the VIP stand and took their seats.

Dong Shuzhen also came today, jumping up and down and very happy. Because she was here yesterday, she seemed much normal today.

Yesterday, more than 200 advanced martial arts candidates rested for the night in the marching camp near the Shenlei Army camp in the preliminary examination of the martial arts examination. They also arrived early this morning and were preparing outside the school.

The general audience stand opposite was, unexpectedly, packed with people and there was not a single empty seat.

Everyone looked at each other, didn't they agree not to come?
So what's going on now?

Everyone looked at each other, smiled awkwardly, said nothing, and then stared at the school field below...

In addition, Chen Dongyi, a counselor in the Jinling Palace, also mixed in and got a seat in the general audience stand.

Boom boom boom!
After the sound of drum beating, the second martial arts competition officially began.

"Your Majesty, your concubine, today is the second martial arts exercise, called 'Arrow on Horseback'."

Under Chen Huang's throne, Zhu Xiuyuan stood there with his hands folded, explaining.

As Zhu Xiuyuan waved his hand and pointed towards the school ground, Chen Huang and everyone looked around and saw that targets had been prepared in the school ground, three in total, lined up in a row.

"The so-called horse-mounted archery is to mount a bow and shoot an arrow while galloping on horseback. Each martial arts examinee rides three times and fires a total of nine arrows. Those who hit the target with three arrows are considered qualified and can get a place to participate in the next martial arts examination. "

As Zhu Xiuyuan explained, the sound of horses neighing could be heard in the huge school grounds, but it was the first martial arts candidate who rode out.

"In this game, those who hit three targets will be ranked according to the number of arrows they hit and receive corresponding 'scores'. These scores will be an important basis for the candidates' final ranking!"

Zhu Xiuyuan continued to explain.

Emperor Chen and Concubine You all nodded their heads after hearing this, thinking that this method was very good.

"That's a great move!"

King Zhongshan, King Poyang, etc. all boasted and praised him.

Li Jiye, as well as Zhao Pu, the fourth prince of the Yan Kingdom, also nodded repeatedly, thinking that this "points" system was very good.

Some people praise it, and some people naturally slander it.

For example, the King of Jinling, the Minister of War, the Minister of Rites, and the civil and military people who opposed Zhu Xiuyuan yesterday.

They sneered and slandered secretly in their hearts, but they did not dare to say it out loud.

Among them, King Jinling was the most angry.

For no other reason than because his whole body was sore now, and his legs felt like they had been torn apart. Even walking, especially when going downhill, felt so sore...

Naturally, he blamed all the pain that King Jinling was suffering on Zhu Xiuyuan.

"What score? Good, good, what a fart!" King Jinling was excited and cursed secretly in his heart, but for some unknown reason, perhaps because he was too excited, it actually affected his chest and abdomen...

Not only did his legs and feet hurt, but his whole body ached, including his chest and abdomen.

This involvement... the sourness almost made King Jinling curse.

"Shut up!"

"This?"

"This is?"

At this moment, King Jinling, who was gritting his teeth and sucking in air, suddenly heard bursts of strange movements. Some were booing, and some were extremely surprised.

What happened?
King Jinling took a deep breath, endured the pain silently, opened his closed eyes, and looked into the school grounds.

Seeing this, the king of Jinling almost jumped up with joy.

I saw three archery targets placed in the huge school grounds, and a few feet away, there was a martial arts candidate riding on a horse.

Logically speaking, this martial arts candidate should control the horse, then pass three arrow targets in sequence, shoot three arrows, and then cycle three times.

But now, King Jinling saw something.

That martial arts examinee... couldn't control that war horse!

The war horse's hooves flicked wildly, jumping and jumping. The mane on the horse's neck was like waterweed, and its hair was messy.It seemed to be trying to throw off the burden on its back and neighed happily.

This horse actually let loose on the school grounds.

The martial arts examinee seemed to have poor equestrian skills. Although he shouted and tightened the reins, he just couldn't control the horse.

The horse's back is not stable, not to mention shooting with a bow, the examinee is lucky if he can guarantee that he will not fall off the horse.

Zhu Xiuyuan, who was under Emperor Chen's throne, looked embarrassed when he saw this scene.

Although he knew that these unruly martial arts candidates would definitely have problems, he did not expect that this person could not even ride a horse...

This is so embarrassing.

"Hahahaha!"

Suddenly, hearty laughter erupted from the VIP stand, the sound was loud, as if others might not know it.

Everyone looked around and saw that it was the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Because the right to organize the military competition was not given to him by the Ministry of War, but was taken over by the Divine Thunder Army, the Minister of War was always grudged.

He was already thinking about provoking a thorn in the martial arts exam.

Before he could think about anything, this "thorn" appeared on his own initiative.

"Is this a martial arts examinee? Everyone, you have seen it, right? This person can't even ride a horse. Our Ministry of War will not look down on such an incompetent person, hahaha..."

"Yes, the incompetent people who are not wanted by the Ministry of War came here to participate in this kind of martial arts competition!"
