Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

If the soldiers of the Nanyue Navy were here, they would know that these pampered Imperial City soldiers were too happy. They have experienced how high Jia Ping's training requirements are. They once soaked in the water for several days in a row. , just to practice holding your breath in the water, causing many people to peel off a layer of skin.

In just half a day, how much progress can riding skills make?Anyway, in Jia Ping’s opinion, it’s not enough to watch. His own riding skills are not bad, and he also trains with him. After dusk, when the results are tested, he will use himself as the standard.

There was a wail in the racecourse, and someone yelled angrily: "General Jia, how can we compare with you? If we beat you, can you still be this general?"

Jia Ping said in a cold voice: "Horse riding is just one of the many skills. If you can beat me in all aspects, so what if I give you this position?"

There are also Jia Ping's colleagues in the crowd. In this world, some people may stick to a position for a lifetime and struggle to make progress, while others can make it to the top in a short period of time, and Jia Ping is the latter.

It was difficult for his former colleagues to explain how he felt in his heart. Jia Ping was so upright and shy as a child, and he would blush when he said a few words. And a lot more brutal.

Everyone didn't dare to have any objections. The final result was that more than half of the people did not pass the test. This was the result of Jia Ping's watering, so he was naturally dissatisfied.

He said with a cold face: "There are only a few days of special training. This general hopes that you will take it seriously. If you work harder on the training ground, you will have a better chance of surviving on the battlefield. You are not working hard for others. But for your own sake, do you want to die?"

The military gentlemen in the imperial city have never experienced war, and occasionally they can cooperate with arresting important criminals is exercise. Many people scoff at this, but remembering that Jia Ping injured his hand when he was on a mission, he knows that his perception is different from others. It's not good to stimulate him.

Anyway, it only takes a few days, everyone thinks, and it will be over after gritting your teeth. Can the soldiers on the frontier be tired no matter how hard it is?

In the next few days, people joined them one after another. They were all players who were eliminated on the field. When there were more people, the training would not feel so boring.

"My lord, our people have arrived." On the fifth day, Jia Ping came over early in the morning to tell Li Xu the news.

"Are you ready? Tell them, don't act rashly, and wait until Xishan can't hold on before coming to support, otherwise, this king can't explain why the Kou family army appeared outside Xishan."

Jia Ping nodded. In fact, he hoped that the third prince could force the palace. In this way, they would be able to wipe out the three princes' gang, and they would no longer have to guard against him. He has been by Li Xu's side for so many years, and he is stronger than anyone else. I hope Li Xu can ascend to the throne as soon as possible.

"By the way, is your date set for getting married?"

Jia Ping's expression froze, and then he turned his face away and replied: "It's fixed, the sixth day of May."

"So fast? Isn't there not much time?"

Jia Ping smiled wryly and said: "After all, both of us are old, so we can't afford to delay." His parents were eager to embrace their grandson immediately.

"I remember that you still have an elder brother, is he still in the northwest?" Li Xu asked suddenly.

Jia Ping looked up at him and nodded, "Yes, the brother of the last general is under the command of the First Prince, and he is quite valuable."

"Then does your family know that you are facing the king?"

"The last general... didn't say it explicitly, but they should know. My grandparents and parents knew that I didn't stay in South Vietnam because of injuries."

Li Xu looked at him with a complicated expression, "Then have you ever thought about it, if one day the king and the eldest prince meet each other in battle, what will you two brothers do?" He believed that Jia Ping would not betray him. His integrity, his brother should not be a half-hearted person, so what should we do then?

Jia Ping took out a letter from his pocket, handed it to Li Xu, then knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Please forgive me, my lord. This is a letter from my brother's home a few days ago. Originally, I thought..."

Li Xu waved his hand and refused to accept the letter, "Since you don't want to show it to me, you must have your reasons. I don't doubt your loyalty, but I'm just afraid that it will be difficult for you."

"My lord, let's read the letter first. I wanted to find an opportunity to talk to you."

Li Xu jokingly asked: "Is there any secret? I don't like to pry into other people's privacy."

Jia Ping shook his head.Li Xu took the letter, skipped the first few paragraphs of greetings, and saw a slight frown at the back, and his expression became serious.

"Is there any code word from you here? This king can't see anything unusual." The more this happened, the more Li Xu knew that there was something wrong, otherwise Jia Ping would not be able to show him the letter.

Jia Ping sighed, "It wasn't stated clearly in the letter, but my elder brother mentioned in the letter that he wanted to go back to Beijing to visit his relatives after being away from home for many years. This sentence is very common, and ordinary people can't see it, but we had an agreement. If one day he wants to deliver an unspoken message, he will use this sentence."

"Then what is the news?"

"My subordinates guess that it should be that the eldest prince has already started to gather troops and prepares to return to Beijing."

"Is this what your brothers said in advance?"

"No, this is a tacit understanding of spiritual connection."

The corners of Li Xu's mouth twitched. He has no brothers... No, he has no good brothers, so he has never experienced such a thing as spiritual connection. If it is true, "Then why didn't you want to say it before?"

"Because... my elder brother is likely to be a forward general. Just now the prince asked me if I would find it difficult. The answer is yes. The subordinates do not want to meet my elder brother in battle."

Li Xu took a deep look at him and helped him up, "If this day really comes, you can retreat to the second line. This king is not an unreasonable person. As long as you don't betray this king, everything will be fine."

What Li Xu thought was that Jia Ping was his confidant and knew everything about him. Even twenty thousand sailors listened to him more than himself. If he wanted to betray him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Jia Ping swore to the sky: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if you die, your subordinates will not have second thoughts. If you violate your will, you will be struck by lightning from the sky, and you will never be reborn forever!"

Li Xu doesn't believe in the oath, but he believes in Jia Ping, this matter can only be taken one step at a time.

"In this way, we have one more opponent. Compared with the [-] private soldiers of the third prince, the first prince's troops are shocking. Originally, this king wanted to get rid of this cancer before the other party attacked. of."

"My subordinates speculate that the First Prince does not dare to call all the soldiers here. Once the defense is weakened, the consequences will be unimaginable if the Huns know about it. Maybe the First Prince just got some inaccurate news and doesn't want to miss this opportunity."

The game on this day was still exciting. Everyone was having fun in Xishan, but the sky outside had changed a long time ago. Hundreds of thousands of well-armed elite soldiers gradually surrounded the Royal Hunting Ground. With just one order, blood flowed here.

"My lord, the third prince wanted to leave the hunting ground just now, but was stopped by General Situ." A deputy general of the Gyeonggi camp reported to Li Xu.

"Who did he take out?"

"There are only dozens of personal guards, and there are no important people."

"He didn't take anyone else with him?"

The deputy general knew what he meant, nodded and said, "Yes."

"What excuse did he use to go out?"

"He said he was going to the racecourse to pick a few polo players. The third prince said that he also wanted to play on the field. When the finals are over, he will compete with the champion team."

"Such a straightforward excuse, I must have asked the emperor for instructions first."

"Yes, so I will ask in the future whether to let him go or make excuses..." The deputy general is Situ Yong's confidant, so he naturally knows what his mother has been guarding against during this time. He dare not let such an important person go. He left.

Li Xu thought for a while, and if he stopped someone at the gate of the hunting ground, he would soon make a fuss in front of the emperor, which would not be good for him to act, "Let him go, the emperor has agreed to it, if you stop him, it won't make sense .”

The lieutenant general was stunned for a moment, but he was not high enough to ask more questions, so he went down to work after receiving the order.

As soon as he left, Li Xu called out, "He Zun."

"Subordinates are here."

"You personally lead people to take down the third child, regardless of life or death."

He Zun promised, and asked again: "Do you want to bring it back after you take it?"

"No, just find a secret place and lock it up. All the people he brought will be executed."

"Yes." He Zun opened the curtain and walked out, and quickly left the hunting ground with people. He is Li Xu's personal bodyguard. Many people recognized him and greeted him eagerly. He Zun responded one by one, The attitude is lukewarm, and nothing abnormal can be seen.

Kou Xiao will have two games today, if he can win the first game, he is leading people to train, when he sees He Zun leaving the hunting ground from a distance, he lowers his head and meditates, he whispers to Ye Changqing, the latter escapes by urinating I found Li Xu.

Li Xu then told him about the departure of the third prince, and comforted him: "You can compete at ease, as long as He Zun goes, it doesn't matter if you don't succeed."

Ye Changqing asked puzzledly: "Why did the prince say that? Once the third prince dies, the other party will have no leader, so maybe they will retreat quietly?"

"If you were Zhao Shu, would you let years of hard work go to waste? Rather than saying that this private soldier belongs to the third prince, it is better to say that it belongs to Mrs. Zhao and the Zhao family. Mrs. Zhao died, and we got rid of a serious worry. Zhao Shu pretended to be sick and stayed in the capital, but he got news a few days ago that he was missing, where can he go?"

"Then he must have come to Xishan. Could it be that Zhao Shu still thinks he can't be enthroned?"

"I don't know about it. It's not that simple to want the life of the third child. You go back and play hard. This king also wants to see you win the championship with glory."

Ye Changqing shrugged, "It's almost the same with me or without me. General Kou is now a master of masters, he is too strong."

Kou Xiao's growth is obvious to all, and his tactics are very changeable, sometimes brutal, sometimes soothing, making people confused. It is difficult to formulate a defensive strategy against him, causing opponents to complain.

"After all, you are a novice, so you should take it seriously."

The sound of the horn sounded outside. It was the sound of the horn to let the contestants enter the field. Today, the top four competition, two rounds and two games were held at the same time. There were so many people outside that Li Xu had to show his face.

"Let's go, I have to watch you win the championship with my own eyes."

The teams that can reach the semi-finals are all very strong, especially after several fierce matches, each team's ability to cooperate has been greatly enhanced, unlike the first day, it was not like a game of loose sand.

This kind of competition is also very exciting, the applause from the stands can shake the sky, Li Xu looked at this lively scene and thought: It's normal for the third child to choose this day, who cares who comes outside at this time Woolen cloth?

Today's game is also longer than before, half an hour in the first half and half an hour in the second half. If there is a tie, there will be a quarter of an hour of overtime.

Kou Xiao's first match was against a dark horse team. The leader of the team was Geng Sheng. He was a handsome young man with an average background and previous performance. To be weak is to draw an empty number and break into the semi-finals all the way.

There are two other teams, namely Lu Jia Erlang's team and Lou Changjing's team. Lou Changjing is very strong, and he defeated Lu Jia Saburo. Everyone thought that Kou Xiao and Kou Xiao would be the top three in this competition, but no one can tell the order of the rankings.

Kou Xiao did not underestimate the other party just because the other party was not well-known. He knew too well the consequences of underestimating the enemy on the battlefield, and he was a rookie himself. Maybe the one opposite him was also a clumsy one. Not one to fight either.

Geng Sheng and Kou Xiao saluted face to face, blushing slightly and said: "It's a humble honor to compete with General Kou, and I hope General Kou will be merciful."

Kou Xiao glanced at him, and said nonchalantly: "Vice General Geng's ability to come to this day proves his strength. If this general is merciful, wouldn't he be too contemptuous of you?"

Geng Sheng didn't expect Kou Xiao to be so direct, he just meant politely, normal people can't hear the meaning inside, right?I heard that General Kou made a lot of jokes because he came from a small place and was out of tune with the capital, so it seems to be true.

Geng Sheng's face softened and his heart was hard, and he cupped his hands immediately and said, "What General Kou said is true, then let's compete in an upright manner." He bypassed Kou Xiao, landed on Ye Changqing, and smiled at him, " I heard that this little brother’s surname is Ye, right? It’s the same surname as someone Geng admires, and even his playing style is very similar, I wonder if I can ask for advice in private some other day?”

Ye Changqing raised his brows, he really knew Geng Sheng, but he was just a rookie in the Yulin Army back then, played a few games with him, he didn't expect him to notice him.

"Of course, it's an honor to be in a humble position." Ye Changqing returned the words to the other party.

Geng Sheng's eyes stayed on Ye Changqing for a long time, Kou Xiao raised his club and interrupted his sight, "Let's start, don't waste time."

On another field, Lou Changjing also confronted Lu Jia Erlang, who had sharp eyes and a ruthless look in his eyes, and said, "Did Brother Lou hit too hard yesterday? My brother is still lying on the bed right now." I can't come down."

Lou Changjing snorted coldly, and didn't think he was wrong at all, "Why didn't Little General Lu say that he kicked and broke the leg bone of one of my teammate? Naturally, when dealing with ruthless people, he is ten times and a hundred times more ruthless than him. "

"Really? Then you have to be careful today."

"To each other." The eyes of the two people met, as if sparks could pop out, and the players on both sides also glared at each other, and a fierce battle was inevitable.
