Chapter 86 The battle has just begun
The quarterfinals have been decided, and the selection of national teachers continues.
This martial arts examination was personally presided over by His Majesty the Emperor, but it was not done by himself. The specific work was arranged to be taken charge of by Shi Haokuang, the Minister of Personnel.
Wensheng arranged it to King Rui's future father-in-law Xin Hezheng, but Wusheng asked His Highness's father-in-law Shi Haokuang to take charge of it. This has to be said to be a balancing method for the emperor.
When they entered the quarterfinals, the emperor came to watch it in person. All the top leaders of Qi State came, and all the civil and military officials and royal relatives also came in groups. Some officials of insufficient rank have no seats. It has to be said that being able to sit in the stands to watch the national military test is definitely a symbol of identity.
In addition to Emperor Li Yinglang, the most eye-catching ones are Crown Prince Li Hongren and King Rui Li Hongwu. The emperor is getting older and rumored to be in poor health recently. The topic of heirs has gradually been put on the agenda. All civil and military officials and royal relatives are facing the problem of taking sides. The above two princes are the most powerful contenders for the throne.
As orthodox, Crown Prince Li Hongren naturally has the title of righteousness and is born to be a powerful successor to the throne.
Rui King Li Hongwu has been extremely intelligent since childhood, and is both civil and military. He has made great contributions to the court many times. Among all the civil and military officials, there are many who support him, and he is a powerful competitor to the throne.
Judging from the current situation, the prince has the lead, but King Rui is even stronger. The battle between the two tigers will be hurt. The seemingly peaceful Qi court is brewing a bloody storm.
To be fair, the battle between the quarterfinals adopted the draw of lots, and in front of the world, the martial arts test host Shi Haokuang was drawn.
Song Qian was too lazy to watch these procedures, so he found a shaded place to sit on the ground and meditate with his eyes closed, and studied the Taoist Dharma.
This situation did not change until the young secretary Xiao Yanhong came over with the iced watermelon.
Since Song Qian became a Taoist, Xiao Yanhong has completely become a follower. Not only is she available on call, but she also has to deal with some trivial matters in Song Qian's life, and she has to beware of his pervert disease from time to time. She is full of complaints.
But people are under the eaves, how dare they not bow their heads? Now Song Qiancheng is a Taoist. The saint of the East Wilderness has a very subtle attitude towards him. To some extent, his pampering towards him has exceeded Zeng Tianlei. Although Xiao Yanhong has the identity of a saint disciple, she is only in the foundation-building stage after all, and her status is there. She can only endure the suffering herself silently.
"Lord Daozi, you are in the second game, and your opponent is Yongzhou player Wang Er."
Song Qian took the iced watermelon and ate the top flesh very pickyly.
"Oh? It's the thin, tall and very awkward one? I've long disliked him and was about to teach him a lesson!"
Song Qian was not worried at all. He had already killed the Jindan monks, and he still cared about these mortal warriors? They didn’t exist!
"Daozi is mighty, I wish you a victory and a success!" Xiao Yanhong flattered her habitually.
Song Qian looked at Xiao Yanhong, and casually broke a little watermelon and handed it to her. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it, and he still knows this truth.
"Okay, it's time for me to set off. Let's wait and see me abuse this Wang Er!" Song Qian threw the watermelon skin and stood up.
Xiao Yanhong looked at Song Qian leaving with his head raised and his chest raised, looked down at the watermelon with tooth marks at the top of his hand, and threw it away with some amusement.
Did he do it on purpose or was he really stupid?
In the eight-in-four competition, Song Qian of Yidu Mansion vs. Wang Er of Yongzhou, with the order, the game began.
The two stood on the stage, looking at each other, without rushing to take action.
"Song Xianshi, when we parted that day, we didn't expect that we would meet here in the end. It's a pity that we didn't understand your unique skills that day. Today we just made up for it!" Wuliang said to Song Qian with a smile, as if he was a friend for many years.
"It's easy to say, you and I are old acquaintances. I can make friends with martial arts, so I can just click there?" Song Qian also smiled and suggested politely.
The acting was so good, I don’t know who wanted my life that night.
"Okay, just follow the words of the immortal master!" Wuliang agreed cheerfully.
On that day, I knew that Song Qian was definitely the biggest obstacle on my way to be elected as a national teacher. I wanted to get rid of it, but in the end I missed the opportunity and finally raised a tiger to be a disaster. When I met him in the quarterfinals, I really had a narrow road to enemies.
"please!"
"please!"
The double shots opened their stance, and the ghost took the lead in launching an attack. The ghost launched a fast attack, and its moves hit Song Qian like a storm.
As an assassin of the Impermanence, Wuliang's attack is the word "fast" with fast body skills and fast attack speed. Once the move is played, he will immediately move without looking at the result.
Faced with the fast attack, Song Qian rarely launched a battle or used his strength to defeat it, but instead launched a counterattack with quick attacks.
Song Qian's immortal divine body has officially entered the fourth level, and his physical fitness can be said to have made a qualitative leap. He just used the ghost to try his skills and see if there is any lack of speed.
The facts proved that the fourth level of immortal divine body was indeed not a big deal. The mortal martial arts of Wuliang could not be compared with it. After a round of attacks, Wuliang was seriously injured, but Song Qian was unharmed. Not only was the attack power and defense power crushed, but even his speed was surpassed. During the attack, Wuliang launched a total of twenty-eight attacks, but Song Qian launched a total of sixty attacks.
The 28 tricks of the monsters hit Song Qian without any pain or itch.
Song Qian deliberately restrained sixty strokes but finally defeated the monster.
The winner Song Qian stood on the stage, receiving applause and flowers; the loser monster lay on the stage and was carried down by the medical officer.
Although the two fights were short, they were very exciting, which dazzled the audience and was very satisfying.
"Look at it, our top scholar is really both civil and military!" His Majesty the Emperor pointed at the winner Song Qian and said to the ministers.
All the ministers are all talented. Since they learned that the top scorer in the literary examination was Song Qian who called the wind and rain before the hall, they didn't know that this Taoist master is now a popular celebrity in front of the emperor. Now that they have won a victory, the emperor seems to have won himself, which further confirms the speculation. The ministers immediately agreed, and all kinds of praise filled the stands.
"It is true that the gods descended to earth!"
"It is really a blessing for the emperor to have the assistance of a capable man like Master Song, the blessing of the Great Qi, and the blessing of the world!"
"Your Majesty, you can find such a young talent!"
After Song Qian finished fighting, he stepped down to rest, but the discussions in the audience did not stop.
"This young man is the top scorer in the national teacher's literary exam?"
"I heard it's this one!"
"Awesome, this skill is really amazing, it's just a genius of civil and military skills!"
"I heard that his medical skills are also very good, and he has the title of Medical Immortal in Yidu Mansion."
In the crowd, Zhong Dakui and several others who followed Song Qian to the capital from Yixian Village were also very happy to see the little gods on the stage winning.
"Uncle Zhong, go and say hello to Dr. Song!" said a half-year-old boy.
"This, now he is an official, will he still remember us?" Zhong Dakui said hesitantly.
"It will definitely happen, we believe in Doctor Song!"
Yixian Village and his group came to the capital from Yidu Mansion. It can be said that they had no relatives and had no skills. They could only make a living by working hard. However, the prices in the capital were astonishingly high, and the money they carried were already consumed almost the same amount during this period. If they could not contact Doctor Song, they would have to go back to the mountain.
Zhong Dakui was the head of this group of people. Of course, he knew what they were thinking. Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to talk to Song Qian.
Speaking of which, Song Qianqing won the victory. When he walked off the stage, he saw that Xiao Yanhong had no idea where he had gone. He didn't think much about it and continued to find a shaded place to practice.
Life is endless, and cultivation is endless.
Although Song Qian's location is remote, it is also inside the venue, and is separated from ordinary people by the defense line established by the Imperial Guard. He had just sat down, but he sensed some familiar people in his divine mind, which was Yixian Village and his party.
At this time, Zhong Dakui and a group of people were talking to the Imperial Guards in charge of defense.
"This military master, we are really fellows from the Immortal Master Song. This time we came to the capital from Yidu Mansion to join him." Zhong Dakui arched his body and said to the military officer in front of him.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guards looked up and down, and the clothes they wore were no different from those of the people in the capital, which showed that they were at least a rich peasant with dark and rough faces and skin. They should be people who worked outdoors all year round. The conclusion was that although they were not dilapidated, they were not rich and noble people, and they could do their business.
"Leave quickly, there is a forbidden area in the court. Where can you enter easily? We also follow the orders and don't make things difficult for us!" The Imperial Guards would not let these people in, and said calmly.
Zhong Dakui was helpless. In fact, he had already guessed that this would be the case. They didn't know a few words and were not familiar with the place. They didn't know where Song Qian was. Today, they finally saw Xiaoyixian on the stage, so they had to come here to try their luck, but they still hit a wall.
I would never dare to break through hard, and it would not make sense to say it, so I had to leave dejectedly.
"Zhong Dakui, what's the matter with me coming to the capital to find me?"
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind. Everyone hurriedly turned around and saw Song Qian walking out of the venue.
Song Qian was not embarrassed by the Imperial Guards. Since they could not let these people in, they could just come out by themselves.
"It's you, it's really you, little god, we finally found you!" Zhong Dakui was excited when he saw Song Qian, and tears were all gone.
"Look at how old they are, why are they still crying? Let's take you to eat the famous dishes in the capital, and we will talk while eating!"
Song Qian is now a person who is not short of money. He is very happy to see these acquaintances. He has not had much social interaction in the capital these days, so he happened to take them to a tooth sacrificial ceremony.
Song Qian left, the national military test was carried out normally, and the final four finals were finally decided, namely Song Qian, Fei Yuanbai, Deng Xiaoling and a Youzhou player.
Today's competition ends, and the semi-finals and finals will be held tomorrow. The emperor returns to the palace, and civil and military ministers also leave one after another. The bustling school military field has returned to peace, but the battle for some people has just begun.
