Chapter 20 School Field

Seeing that the ten people were about to pounce, Zhao Chengping hurriedly stopped:
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty said that if you stand on the field in the end, you will lose if you leave the four borders."

"Yes."

Zhao Chengping nodded, looked at the ten people, raised his right hand, and pointed his index finger forward.

His contemptuous expression enraged the imperial guards standing on the field. It is unknown who took the lead, and the rest rushed forward, and Zhao Chengping ran to the sidelines.

The onlookers thought he was going to run away, so they hissed, but Zhao Chengping suddenly pulled out a halberd from the weapon rack, and with a sweeping sweep, the weapon rack and the weapons stuck on it flew far away. It is impossible to obtain weapons without leaving the border.

Although Zhao Chengping is now one against ten, the ten forbidden troops dare not seize the power of the long halberds. , Even if they are arrayed, they cannot escape the edge of the halberd.

Someone shouted below:

"What is your skill with a halberd?"

Zhao Chengping glanced coldly:
"I didn't say I wasn't allowed to take them. They don't take the weapons themselves. Do you blame me?"

It is obviously impossible to say that the ten forbidden soldiers did not take weapons out of absolute confidence in their own force.

It's just that because of the scene just now, everyone was bare-handed, and because they were urged by King Zhaoxiang's reward just now, they were afraid that they would fall behind others and lose the chance to get the reward.Therefore, the ten people came up in a hurry and empty-handed.

Being able to win is king, no matter what means he uses.

The halberd was swung wildly in Zhao Chengping's hands. Everyone on the field was around Zhao Chengping, wanting to wait for him to run out of energy before swarming up. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Zhao Chengping didn't feel tired at all.

No... I want to eat the mutton patties from the street restaurant more and more.

Suddenly, with a flick of the halberd, Zhao Chengmin turned his defense into an offense, and stabbed straight at the person in front of him.That person retreated all the way, at this moment, the others were overjoyed, as long as they moved, there would be openings, they followed closely, wanting to strike behind Zhao Chengping.

Unexpectedly, the halberd that was going straight forward seemed to have a spirituality. It suddenly fell from top to bottom, and hit the shoulder of the imperial army who was following Zhao Chengping who was about to strike. A long cut was made, and blood gushed out come out.

Before the others recovered their senses, the halberds came towards them again, and those people who wanted to take advantage of the fire fell into a dangerous situation. Knowing that these people would not show mercy to his subordinates, Zhao Chengping naturally would not be polite, and decided quickly.

The so-called skills are meaningless under absolute strength and speed.

Although Zhao Chengping didn't know anything about the correct use of the long halberd, his flaw had just been exposed, and before he had time to catch it, the next attack would have already struck, so he could only dodge in a hurry, without thinking at all.

Zhao Chengping didn't have any tactics at all, he just stared at one person to attack, if someone wanted to come up and attack him, he didn't get distracted, he just forced that person back temporarily, then turned his head and continued to concentrate on dealing with the original target until the original target was killed. The goal is driven off the touchline.

He didn't mean to hurt anyone, he just wanted to end it quickly and go out to buy mutton cakes.

Among the ten people, except for the first one who was seriously injured in the sneak attack, the rest were just forced out of bounds and were not seriously injured.

In the end, Zhao Chengping was the only one standing on the field with his halberd held high. At this time, the sky was already covered with blood-colored setting sun.

The people of Qin admired the brave man the most, because of the extraordinary physical strength he showed just now, the imperial guards outside the field only had full admiration for him at this moment, and the previous contempt had long since disappeared.

"Good!" King Zhaoxiang was the first to praise.

Zhao Chengping saluted his talented opponents in the same field:
"Assignment."

King Zhaoxiang said:

"Aside from the reward just now, what else do you want?"

"The mutton cakes on Chengxi Avenue." He couldn't help but blurt out.

King Zhaoxiang was bewildered:
"What did you say?"

Zhao Chengping cleared his throat:

"Hey, as a native of Zhao, it's not appropriate for me to deal directly with Qin like this."

King Zhaoxiang smiled and said:
"What's wrong with that? I am big Qin, and talented people from all over the world can be officials in Qin State. I will never treat you poorly just because you are from Zhao State."

Zhao Chengping thought for a while:

"I want to join General Wang Ji as a general."

At this time, Wang Ji was recommended by Fan Sui, and was promoted to the governor of Hedong County, and within three years he could not report to Xianyang all the privileges of government and taxation in the county.

Regarding Zhao Chengping's request, King Zhaoxiang was a little surprised and said:
"Most people want to stay in Xianyang, why do you ask to leave?" Thinking about Wei Ran, the Marquis of Rang, and Mi Rong, Jun of Huayang, it would be a life-and-death situation for them to leave Xianyang. Young Master Fu even became ill with grief and anger, and had not yet reached the fiefdom. Just die.

Zhao Chengping said:

"I have a loose nature. I am afraid that I will be impeached for misbehavior sooner or later if I stay in Xianyang. It would be better to leave Xianyang as soon as possible."

At this time, King Zhaoxiang also remembered the scene he saw in the Empress Dowager Xuan's room last night. If he were to stay in Xianyang, he would be in love with the Empress Dowager Xuan for a long time. If he had any thoughts at that time, it would be difficult to control .

After a little thought, he agreed to Zhao Chengping's request:

"The widow named you the captain of Hedong County, and you will be dispatched by the county governor Wang Ji."

Leaving the school grounds, Zhao Chengping suddenly remembered that he was no longer under Lord Pingyuan, and could no longer go back to the post house. Now that he had just been appointed as an official, he couldn't go to find Lord Huayang, let alone the Empress Dowager Xuan, so he went there at night. Where to sleep is the question.

Just as he was hesitating, someone suddenly came and said that Prime Minister Fan had invited him to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhao Chengping looked at that person, and the information popped up in his mind, it really was Fan Sui's disciple, this Fan Sui was really a discerning fellow.Many people in Qin State were recommended by him.

He sneered in his heart: the more people he recommends, the more uncontrollable the results of these people will be.Unexpectedly, he was still thinking about himself.

Anyway, there is no place to sleep tonight, since he has sincerely invited you, why not go and see what he is up to.

In fact, Zhao Chengping didn't quite understand the thoughts of the people during the Warring States period. Some people, for the sake of their own country, were willing to die or live. , Zhang Yi lobbied other countries to unite vertically and horizontally... There was no concept of a country at all.

What's more, even the monarchs of various countries don't think it's a big deal. The "challenge to Qin and late to Chu", which was regarded as a sign of treachery by later generations, not only happened anytime and anywhere in the pre-Qin era, but everyone thought it was quite normal.

Forget it, this can be regarded as a state of mind.

In the prime minister's mansion, Fan Sui warmly welcomed him. At the banquet, he firstly praised his performance on the school field today, and then talked about his contribution to the monarch in the future.

Hey, it turns out that more than 2000 years ago, the leader's speech routine was like this.

Fan Sui made a toast to Zhao Chengping. After all, it was the Prime Minister's Mansion. The alcohol concentration here was obviously not the sweet aroma of fermented rice, but quite strong. Zhao Chengping only felt physical discomfort, so he put down the wine glass:
"I'm sorry, I really can't drink, if I drink less, I won't wake up, I'm afraid I will be rude in front of the prime minister."

Although Fan Sui thought this was unbelievable, he still had something to say to Zhao Chengping. It would be bad if Zhao Chengping got really drunk after drinking this drink, so he didn't try to persuade him again.

When the dishes were over and the host and guest were in harmony, Fan Sui said, "What is the captain's plan for going to Hedong County?"

Zhao Chengping thought that the polite chat was finally over, so he put down his chopsticks and replied respectfully:
"Naturally, I should do my job well and share the worries of the monarch."

Fan Sui shook his head: "Do you know that Hedong County does not have to report any official administration or taxes to the king for three years?"

"I know, this is the king's trust in the king's sheriff."

Fan Sui sighed and said: "I'm afraid that I will be so proud because of being extremely favored. I was recommended by Wang Ji to the King of Qin, and now I am the prime minister. Whether it is public or private, I don't want him to do anything that is not good for Da Qin. Therefore..."

He suddenly bowed solemnly to Zhao Chengping:
"I hope that after arriving in Hedong County, the Captain can be by the side of Governor Wang to help him. If he has any problems... I also hope that the Captain can persuade him to rein in the situation so that he can live up to the king's high expectations."

Zhao Chengping hurriedly returned the gift, but secretly sneered in his heart:
"Then you are really trusting me."
