One Sword Seals Immortals

After the hunting, it is time for the young people to present the spoils to the Queen Mother one by one.

This ceremony is only held twice a year, and it is the first opportunity for the rookies of each family to show their faces in front of the Queen Mother, so it has extremely important political significance.

The Empress Dowager sat in the king's tent for an entire afternoon, during which time she had to greet hundreds of people, counting towns, which was a lot of effort.

After seeing all of them, her close ministers didn't even have to eat, so they were about to start drafting the regulations for rewarding them.

The interview was not over until it was close to dinner, and they began the next ceremony that was born out of the grassland customs:

Contest in front of the imperial court.

The folk customs of the Da Yue clan are tough, and every important ceremony, there are always warriors fighting regardless of life and death, which becomes an important program at their banquet.

However, their martial arts methods are relatively superficial, and they are not on the same level as Jianghu sects.

And among the warriors who took turns taking the stage this time, there are many players with good levels.

Fu Hanzhou sat at the top, casually watching the competitions below, which were mostly level 60.

For this level, he can already easily see the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, and predict the outcome to a certain extent.

The Grand Master must be even more so.

Fu Hanzhou turned his head to look at Ying Longcheng, afraid that he would be bored, so he smiled and brought him some food to keep him busy.

After a while, there were three consecutive competitions in the field, and there were constant applause from the audience.

The warrior standing in the field won three rounds in a row, put on a bright red battle flag, raised his scimitar high, and roared vigorously towards the highest seat.

He looked straight at Fu Hanzhou, and suddenly said loudly: "A swordsman from the Central Plains! I am Muhane from the Zhakun family, and I want to challenge you! If you are really a warrior, come down and compete with me!" Compare!"

This is a challenge in line with the rules of the Great Yuezhi.

People around stomped their feet one after another, rhythmically and passionately, and urged in Western Region dialect: "Compete! Compete! Compete!"

At this time, Fu Hanzhou who was sitting on the table smiled faintly and said, "If you want to compete with me, I'm afraid you are not qualified."

Hearing this sentence, the challenger couldn't help being unconvinced. Holding the scimitar high, he struck his breastplate with the back of the knife, making a burst of noise.

He was muscular and burly, deliberately making extremely threatening gestures, and said contemptuously: "The thin Central Plains people dare not compete with my Da Yueshi warriors! Hahaha!"

As soon as the words fell, the player who was watching the plot next to him couldn't help but say: "Hmph, arrogant."

Fu Hanzhou's eyes fell on the player's seat, he stretched out his hand and nodded in the air: "Xiangshou, you come up."

Xiangshou almost couldn't believe his ears, he jumped up excitedly, stepped forward and said, "To------!!!"

Fu Hanzhou took a look: Xiangshou, player level 61, swordsmanship level 59, internal strength level 62.

Quite satisfied.

"Go and compete with him and let him know that the subtlety of martial arts in the Central Plains is far better than brute force." Fu Hanzhou ordered.

Ding.

The system prompt came as promised, making Xiangshou beaming with joy, and immediately got off the stage, picking a handy iron blade from the weapon rack.

During this period, the players whispered to each other, envious:

"Wow, I picked up a plot for nothing..."

"Why, why does the teacher only point me to answer questions in class! The sword in the shadow never points me to do tasks when it's going through the plot!"

"Is this the player with high favorability? Jane is so envious in the emperor's heart."

Players at level 61 are already second-rate players. Although the level is close to this strong man who practiced wrestling, the subtlety of rare-level swordsmanship is far superior to the latter.

Xiangshou used a sword move that he learned from the sword in the shadow, and after a few rounds, he pressed him step by step, and he was at a disadvantage.

This sword technique is like a white horse passing through a gap and a surging wave, it is fast and fierce.

Everyone present was dazzled by the sight, and they were even more horrified, shouting again and again: "Cai!"

After a few times, the challenger finally fell to the ground in disgrace, unable to get up again.

After Xiangshou completed the task, his mouth almost reached his ears, and amidst the cheers of everyone, he said in a fluttering voice: "Thank you, thank you."

Someone said: "Sure enough, you are an expert in the Central Plains! This strong man, how effective are you in my account?"

Xiangshou cocked his tail and said: "Don't dare, I'm just a nameless little guy, I can't even be ranked in Kuaixia Academy."

The man was surprised: "Why, there are still many warriors like you in this academy?"

Xiangshou sighed, and said: "If nothing else, let's just talk about our senior brother 'Jun Mowen'... He has learned one more legendary move and three rare sword skills than me... ...Well, I have fought him twenty times, and I guess I can win only one."

"This warrior surnamed Jun is really a rare hero!" The man gave a thumbs up, "Your academy is presided over by him, he must be a well-known martial arts school!"

"Where is this?" Xiangshou couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "Jun Mowen is just a footman who runs errands, I mean, a big guy. His sword skills are learned by big brothers, you Kangkang, The boss is still sitting on it... I have only learned a little bit of his sword skills, a few ten thousandths!"

Everyone followed his gaze and looked up, only to see that swordsman——Shadow Sword was calmly talking to the queen mother on the table, completely oblivious to the movement below.

"hiss……"

Several people couldn't help taking a breath, they didn't expect that they still underestimated the name of Sword in Shadow after all.

Seeing that the sword in the shadow looks like a fairy who left the world, he thought his swordsmanship was mediocre. This is clearly a taboo of judging a person by his appearance.

At this time, Xiangshou has returned to the middle of the player's seat triumphantly.

Sitting next to him, Lemon Vinegar said sourly, "Brother, you're getting a lot of limelight, shouldn't you give me a red envelope?"

Xiangshou still hasn't spoken.

But seeing the surrounding players gathered around one after another, they were stunned and said:

"Fucking boss, I thought all districts were balanced. Why are your swordsmanship instructors in Xiangzhou so awesome?"

"66666666...Hold your thighs and ask for a friend seat."

"I can't imagine a duck, Jun Mo asked the big brother, I'm afraid he's going to be level 70?"

"Boss, I regret it. Is it still too late to delete my account and go to Xiangzhou to practice swordsmanship again..."

So, Xiangshou cupped his hands happily, and took out a wooden sign from his arms, on which was a QR code hand-painted with ink.

Xiangshou said: "Thank you for your love! Take a screenshot and scan the QR code to follow my official account, I will often share my experience in the game! In addition, I have just opened the business of recruiting apprentices, starting from 50 yuan for a teaching session, the number of places is limited, first come first served ah!"

Everyone can't help but fall down.

On the other side, the queen mother was also extremely happy to see the situation off the court, and couldn't help but praise Fu Hanzhou.

Fu Hanzhou was quite embarrassed, so he hurriedly picked up food for the queen mother.

After a while, a female official came forward to report to the Queen Mother that they had already drafted the regulations for the award, and they were ready to start the next ceremony at any time.

The queen mother glanced at the note she handed over, her smile remained unchanged, but she said: "Not good. For a talent like Ying Zhongjian, I want to make him a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."

She spoke without hesitation, and asked the audience: "Which one of you has any objections?"

It was very quiet at the table.

Everyone had experienced the accident just now, and they were still immersed in surprise and annoyance, and did not dare to offend Fu Hanzhou on the spot.

The queen mother took the opportunity to take the case and said: "Okay, it's settled like this, you go down and tell them, and then give Master Fu a better and better title."

Although the female officer was a little hesitant, but seeing the queen mother's tough attitude, she stopped talking.

The title of Da Yueshi has no real power, only fiefdom and salary. Such a canonization of Fu Hanzhou can also be seen as a wooing of these... no, this group of Central Plains masters in disguise.

After a while, the banquet entered the second half, and everyone began to drink and have fun.

The queen mother took the opportunity to get up and go back to the king's tent.

When she opened the curtain, she did not forget to wave to Fu Hanzhou slightly, motioning him to follow.

Fu Hanzhou originally thought that he had something important to tell him, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother to ask him to go...to pick a reward.

Fu Hanzhou: "..."

When others are rewarded, they have to be grateful for everything they get, enshrine it in the mansion, and dare not touch it too much for the rest of their lives.

And when he was rewarded, the Queen Mother took him in the warehouse, flipped through it and said: "This is beautiful, you wear it quickly and let the Ai family take a look. Oh, this box is Zhongyuan's martial arts cheats. I don't have many generals." If you are interested, why not take them all for you..."

Among other things, martial arts cheats are what Fu Hanzhou really needs.

He thought for a while, and said without being too polite, "Then I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

The Empress Dowager finally saw that he had what he wanted, and she was very happy, and said: "There are also many books in the library in the palace. Ai's family will ask someone to pick them out for you!"

Fu Hanzhou hurriedly said: "You don't need so many, just pick some books on internal strength, swordsmanship and swordsmanship." He wanted to get some good ones for Yinglongcheng and Fengliying.

The Empress Dowager said: "It's nothing, you are a Marquis, and the Ai family will allow you to come to the palace to read at any time, and you can take any books you want."

Fu Hanzhou understood it, and said with a smile, "Okay, I will definitely come to the palace to accompany you more often."

While talking, a maid outside came to report the matter.

The queen mother did not avoid suspicion and let her in to speak.

Fu Hanzhou had seen this maid before, she was from Beichen's side, and her martial arts skills were good.

She reported to the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, the spy has been caught, and His Royal Highness has taken him back for interrogation first."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Alright, then leave it to him."

After the maid left, Fu Hanzhou said, "Did you find a spies during this spring hunt?"

The Empress Dowager's smile remained unchanged, and she said gently: "It often happens. Our country is becoming more and more prosperous, and the neighbors are naturally restless. They often send people to inquire about the reality of military parades and martial arts competitions. Don't pay too much attention to it."

"Of course I care about His Majesty's safety." Fu Hanzhou let out a sigh of relief, "Now it seems that it is indeed a good thing to have a great master, the county king, sitting in the palace."

The queen mother was very happy when she heard that, she held Fu Hanzhou's hand, and said: "This boy Beichen...is a bit like you. The Ai family couldn't bear to see him tossing and turning between the various sects of the magic sect, so it can be regarded as cooperating with him." , Supporting each other for a while——Since then, the Ai family has half-stepped into the rivers and lakes. Today's prosperity in the territory of the Dayue Clan is not all due to the achievements of court officials and generals, and they have long been indistinguishable from other factions in the rivers and lakes. "

"Heroes don't ask about their backgrounds. It's the blessing of the common people that a wise gentleman can know how to use them well." Fu Hanzhou smiled slightly, "For example, the students I brought from Xiangzhou... as long as you don't listen to them, they are actually A hard-working, fearless, very useful, very useful."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes lit up.
