Chapter 83 3.22 The Ruthless Emperor in the School Competition
Chapter 3

3.22 School competition, ruthless emperor

"In the first melee match, contestants from both sides will play!" This time, Jiang Zining, the former commander of the Imperial Forest Army, happened to be the host.

Emperor Yongzheng had obviously learned his lesson in this iron net mountain competition. The Imperial Forest Army with a total of 5000 men was transferred to [-] people at once, forming three defensive circles.

On the contrary, only [-] elites from the three major battalions came, [-] elite soldiers from the military battalion were in charge of guarding the perimeter, and [-] elite cavalry battalions were used as a mobile force, just in case.

Qi Jianhui, the commander of the Yulin Army who was suspended from his post, followed Yongzheng Emperor with his masters all the time, almost inseparable, fearing that something would happen again.

When staying last night, the Emperor’s Golden Tent was less than 30 meters away from three circles of Imperial Forest Army, each circle was ten meters away, and the distance between people was less than five meters!
Combined with the torches around the golden tent, it can be said that the lights are brightly lit, even if a fly flies past, it may be possible to distinguish between male and female.

The only problem is that if Emperor Yongzheng has any "activities" with Concubine Shu Zhen, even the imperial guards with better hearing will be able to listen to the corner. Ahem!

The camera returns to the arena.

A man nearly 1.9 meters tall, wearing three layers of heavy armor, and carrying a heavy-duty tiger gun on his shoulders, which was more than a foot long, and the barrel of the gun was also thicker, was looking at Wei Xu with a ferocious face.

On the other hand, Wei Xu, although his height of 1.7 meters [-] can be called good, and the figure obtained from long-term martial arts training can also be called strong, but it is a pity that no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel dead.

At this time, he was still wearing a standard navy blue samurai uniform without any armor. Although the long sword in his hand was much longer than the conventional product, it was far behind the opponent's tiger gun.

So much so that except for the few people who knew about it, almost everyone was sweating, even the opposing civilian camp looked at him with regret.

After all, Wei Xu is a young man who passed the county examination, just finished the government examination, and wants to take the imperial examination seriously. Maybe he is a gifted scholar?

After the two entered the stage, they clasped their fists politely, which was regarded as a salute, and neither of them showed their weapons without saying a word. They didn't even introduce each other. Anyway, neither side could understand what the other said.

"Your Majesty, that Wei Xu seems to be a good-looking talent, I'm afraid it's a pity today." In the middle of the viewing platform, Concubine Shu Zhen said regretfully.

"You women are always easy to soften your heart." Emperor Yongzheng's tone was very flat, "It's just that you are on the field of martial arts. Naturally, swords have no eyes. Life and death are fate."

"Your Majesty's words are true." Mrs. Zhen just said a few words with emotion.

Other places also remembered the humming of conversations, and the general meaning was similar, but unfortunately, the facts often did not go according to their understanding.

"Huh—" The heavy tiger gun swung towards Wei Xu with a howling sound of piercing through the air, and the Jiannu master grinned grinningly, wanting to defeat the enemy with one blow.

It's a pity that what Wei Xu is most afraid of is this kind of opponent who has almost no skills and relies purely on physical strength to avoid the attack by turning sideways!
Seeing that the move was in vain, the Jiannu master was not discouraged, and immediately turned around with the strength of the spear just now, and when they faced each other again, the tiger spear had already pierced straight!

However, the battle ends here!

Wei Xu turned sideways again to give way to the gun, and took the opportunity to put the long sword on the gun, and rushed forward with his whole body, but his speed was much faster than that of Jiannu master!

After a scream, Jiannu's fingers holding the tiger gun were all cut off, and the tiger gun landed on the competition stage with a "clang"!

But Wei Xu didn't stop. The long sword that was originally slanting upwards and cutting forward moved forward, piercing through the chin of the master Jiannu, piercing through the Tianling Gai, completing the kill in an instant!

Pulling out the long sword coldly, Wei Xu shook the blade lightly, and a few drops of blood that were not stained fell to the ground, and the blade became bright again.

"Clang!" The long sword was put into the scabbard, Wei Xu didn't bother to say a word, turned around and strode off.

Only then did the audience regain their breathing!
"Your Majesty, this—" Zhen covered her mouth with one hand in horror, and pointed at Wei Xu with the other, "How could it be done on the spot?"

"Sure enough, he is young and promising!" Emperor Yongzheng's expression was gloomy, as if the one who won was not the Dashun Dynasty.

"Young Master Wei really lives up to his reputation!" On the field of martial arts, the host Jiang Zining looked at Wei Xu with a look of apprehension on his face, and then continued to arrange, "For the second competition, contestants from both sides will enter the field!"

As for the mess on stage, we have our own personnel to clean it up.Compared to Wei Xu's crispness and murderous spirit, the second competition seemed a bit boring. Neither of them wore armor, so they basically struggled with their bare hands.

Either wrestling, or seizing the opportunity to continuously hit each other with fists, elbows, knees or heads, it took more than 3 minutes to toss.

In the end, the Jiannu master was beaten and coughed up blood non-stop. He lay on the field and struggled a few times before he was out of breath.

Sun Shaozu was also badly injured. The exposed parts of his body were all bruised and purple, and some were even worn out. His face was beaten into a pig's head, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth on his chest, but he won.

This also explains a plot in the original book, that is, he was promoted smoothly later and had the opportunity to switch camps. It seems that Sun Shaozu should have been the only one to win this competition.

The third game is naturally archery. There is nothing to say about this game. No matter whether it is a fixed target or a moving target, no matter what kind of target it is, if both sides are made by you, I will definitely be able to do it.

Even the episode was the same, the two sides exchanged longbows and pulled at each other, both wanting to break each other's weapons, but found silently that both of them were using bows with a price of one stone and a half, so they handed them back again.

The end result is a draw.

The next game is riding, which is also a key game for both sides. If Feng Ziying wins, there is no need to compete in the last game; if Jian Nu wins, there may be hope for a tie.

"Brother Feng, you take this!" Regardless of whether he has an opinion on Feng Ziying or not, he must be unanimous in this occasion. Wei Xu thought about it and took out a crossbow and handed it over.

"This—" Feng Ziying looked at him in surprise.

"Come back with victory, I'll wait for your explanation." Wei Xu waved his hand, turned and left.

The so-called "riding skills" here is not about riding faster and more fancy than anyone else, but fighting immediately, similar to the heads-up of generals in various plots.

Feng Ziying was also wearing a bright light armor at this time, with a big horse on her crotch, and an iron spear in her hand. After nodding heavily to Wei Xu, she rushed towards her opponent.

The Jiannu master also used a tiger gun. After the two men confronted each other, their weapons collided. Feng Ziying almost didn't fall off the horse!

Everyone around exclaimed, obviously realizing that at least in terms of strength, Feng Ziying was at a disadvantage!

After the two sides rushed to the edge of the competition field, they turned their horses' heads and continued to hedge for the second time. In fact, horse battles were like this, and only a few of them actually stopped to fight each other.

After more than ten rounds, everyone could see that Feng Ziying was on the verge of defeat, because his mouth had already been ripped apart, and even blood had slid down the barrel of the gun!

"Aw—" the Jiannu master let out a long howl, and rushed towards him on his own initiative!

Here, Feng Ziying probably realized the danger, so she turned around and ran in the opposite direction, apparently trying to avoid the attack!

There was an uproar around, because it was obvious that the battle had already been defeated, and all Wu Xun looked anxiously at the viewing stand, hoping that admitting defeat would be allowed there!
It's a pity that Emperor Yongzheng's expression was cold, and he didn't want to speak at all!

I don't know if he was injured or not good at riding, even if he circles around the arena, the distance between the two horses is getting closer and closer!

"Roar!" Finally, the distance between the two of them was less than three meters. The Jiannu master suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and the horse immediately accelerated. The tiger spear in his hand was level, and he stabbed at Feng Ziying with the horsepower!

At this moment, Feng Ziying suddenly twisted her whole body, clamped the iron spear with her right arm and pulled it on the tiger spear with all her strength, moved the tip of the gun to one side, and calibrated the pointing of her own spear with her left hand. Shoot an arrow!
The legs tightly clamping the horse's belly exerted force, and the horse suddenly slowed down. The Jiannu master just fired more crossbow arrows, and before he recovered, he just slammed into the head of the iron gun!

Back to the carbine!
Without looking back at her opponent, Feng Ziying staggered under control of the horse and walked back to her own camp, her body could no longer hold on, and fell to the ground with a "plop"!
"Okay!" Feng Tang was the first to rush over, hugging his son with tears all over his face. Naturally, he arranged for a doctor to rescue him as soon as possible, but luckily he just lost his strength!
It's just that from an unobtrusive angle, he glanced at the center of the viewing platform with hatred, and soon returned to normal.

"Fifth match, both sides compete in riding and shooting!" Just when everyone thought they won, the host Jiang Zining shouted out again, apparently with the tacit approval of Emperor Yongzheng!
"Brother Niu, don't let him go back again!" Wei Xu glanced at the person on the dragon chair with cold eyes, turned his head and said in a tone that was almost icy.

"Don't worry!" Niu Ben finished winding the bow, lifted the heavy crossbow onto his horse, and rushed to the arena with a "drive".

The distance between the two sides was more than [-] meters at this time, which was far beyond the range of riding a bow, so the Jiannu master rushed over with confidence, but unfortunately he didn't know what opponent he was facing!
"Om--" A whistling heavy crossbow hit the Jiannu master with a piercing sound, and even flew him out after a scream!

Tournament - it's over!
