Although you can soak in the hot springs on the second day, obviously the emperors will not soak directly.
The entertainment activities in Jicheng were limited, which led to the fact that the emperors had nothing to have fun on weekdays.
So in addition to wasting time in making red tape, you have to add to the fun before doing things.
For example, hold a riding and archery competition before soaking in the hot springs.
This kind of riding and archery competition is naturally a nonsense of the people below. The emperor and all the princes are watching the show.
But there are exceptions. At the end of the deathbed, there will be a prince or a martial emperor playing, which can be regarded as a challenge for this hot spring competition.
Although Ji Qingning is physically handicapped, as a national teacher, he should be present, this is a respect for the emperor and prince.
While pushing Ji Qingning's wheelchair, Sujuan said: "Sujuan has already gone to investigate. General Jiang is not a man, and he also pursued a lady when he was young, but later that lady fell into the water. After that winter, General Jiang never mentioned the matter of marriage again."
Ji Qingning said in surprise, "Which Miss?"
With his knowledge of people, it is logically unreasonable to see that General Jiang's good manliness is almost a certainty, but now he finds that he has made a wrong judgment.
"It's the daughter of the Minister of Rites. Her surname is Cen, and her name is Cen Ying."
Ji Qingning recalled the name, but he didn't remember it.
"I see, you don't need to check anymore, just come here, if you ask more, General Jiang will not be happy."
"Sujuan understands."
Facts are in front of us, this Jiang Xu is not only unmanly, but also hit by the early death of his secret love, so he is still unmarried.
Thinking of this, Ji Qingning couldn't help but feel a little funny. Also, the general looked like a wise and powerful man, so how could he be interested in a sick and crippled man.
As for Prince Su's interest, it was purely to humiliate him and His Majesty.
Withdrawing his thoughts, he had already arrived at the school grounds in the hot spring palace.
Although the hot spring is on the mountain, the school ground is also on the mountain, but the school ground is extremely spacious. It is obvious that the imperial family of Ji Kingdom has often repaired and expanded this place over the years, which made it so spacious.
On the field, Prince Su was wearing armor.
Ji Qingning probably knew that at the end of this competition, Prince Su should play.
Moreover, the imperial guards did not participate in this competition. They were still stationed everywhere, guarding against someone plotting to assassinate the emperor.
So only Prince Su's Jicheng Army and Jiang Xu's Pocavalry Army were left to participate.
At the beginning of the competition, the two teams spontaneously lined up, and the two teams were clearly divided.
If Prince Su's people welcome them, Prince Su's side will cheer, and the Po Cavalry Army will cheer if the Po Cavalry Army wins, but they will never cheer for each other.
In this division, the broken cavalry army is obviously more experienced in riding and shooting because they often go out of the city to fight, so they occupy a high position.
They triumphantly provoked Ji Chengjun, which naturally aroused the anger of Ji Chengjun.
The Jicheng army has a large number of people, so there are naturally many talented people.
"Come on, call Chen Chuan and let him play." The commander of the Jicheng army saw the other party triumphantly, and asked them to call someone with a gloomy expression.
Then Chen Chuan came.
The very swift Chen Chuan not only hit the tenth ring, but also indulged his horse and knocked the Po Cavalry man off his horse.
A hit like this will inevitably hurt your muscles and bones.
Long Xing immediately shouted: "What are you doing!"
Chen Chuan dismounted slowly, knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to Prince Su: "Your subordinate failed to control the horse, please forgive me, Prince Su."
Everyone can see that Chen Chuan is not apologetic at all.
But that is Prince Su, who dares to have an opinion, even the little emperor must be afraid of him three points.
Prince Su deliberately said with a straight face: "Why are you so careless? The Pocavalry Army is an important line of defense for our national defense. How can such a hero be injured?"
"Don't come to plead guilty to me, you go to plead guilty to the emperor."
Chen Chuan kowtowed to the emperor again: "Chen Chuan is guilty! Please punish the emperor."
Now, the embarrassment is the emperor.
If he punished Chen Chuan, he would be slapping Prince Su in the face, but if he didn't punish him, it would chill the hearts of the cavalrymen.
The little emperor hesitated, and subconsciously looked at the national teacher.
Ji Qingning coughed twice, and said weakly: "It is a fact that Chen Chuan ran into the man who broke the cavalry. This must be punished, but because he didn't mean it, he can make a mistake lightly. Your Majesty, how about Fine Chen Chuan's salary for two months, and use these silver taels to appease the injured soldier of the Pocavalry Army, what do you think?"
The little emperor was overjoyed, and immediately said: "That's it."
Ji Qingning nodded with a smile.
Prince Su glanced at Ji Qingning, who still smiled back.
Zhuang Qiu could only keep silent. In this matter, he actually had no right to speak. As the commander of the Po Cavalry Army, he would definitely want to speak for his soldiers. If he wanted to consider Ji Qingning instead of the soldiers If you support them, they will definitely be suspected.
To play this person seriously, so as not to disrupt Ji Qingning's preparations.
"What does Prince Su think?" Ji Qingning asked Prince Su again. Chen Chuan is one of his subordinates, so he must have obtained his consent.
"The national teacher's method is very appropriate, just do as the national teacher said."
The ones who are dissatisfied now are the group of people in the Pocavalry Army.
One of their people broke his leg, and the instigator was punished with a salary, who can swallow this pain.
And the national teacher also said that it was not intentional, why was it not intentional, is everyone blind?
But seeing that Jiang Xu didn't say anything, the group of cavalrymen naturally couldn't say anything.
"Your Majesty, in the past, there were riding and archery competitions, which were too simple. How about adding a swordsmanship competition." Zhuang Qiu finally spoke after this matter was over.
"Swordsmanship?" The little emperor was thoughtful, and then he said: "It makes sense. But how should the rules be set for the swordsmanship competition?"
"Let the participating soldiers draw lots and compete one-on-one. The competition uses wooden swords, so that you will not hurt the brave soldiers."
"This sounds very interesting." The little emperor smiled, and he agreed: "Then follow Jiang Qing's instructions. You go to prepare the wooden swords, and you go to arrange the order of the competition."
Zhuang Qiu looked at Long Xing indifferently.
Long Xing understood Zhuang Qiu's meaning instantly.
This is what the general won for them, and the way to fight back in an open and honest manner.
He didn't believe that the Jicheng army in the capital who oppressed the common people could compare with them who trained in swordsmanship every day.
He secretly clenched his fists and said to the people around him, "Brothers, it's time for revenge."
Prince Su and Zhuang Qiu looked at each other, both of them showed no expression on their faces, but the smell of gunpowder smoke was already in the air.
It was as if there was a big war that was about to break out.
It's not that Zhuang Qiu doesn't know how to play tricks, but he thinks playing tricks with this group of people is really a bit of a bully.
But right now he is in such a status, if he doesn’t seek justice for his subordinates, then after a long time, his subordinates will also renounce him—of course, with Jiang Xu, when he can’t leave, leave Jiang Xu a Crazy mess.
The new competition will be ready soon. The swordsmanship competition is a little more entertaining than riding and shooting. The viewing pleasure lies in the swordsmanship itself.
Because of the variety of sword skills, a kind of sword dance was even extended for people to enjoy.
Prince Su naturally understood what Zhuang Qiu meant. He just had confidence in his subordinates. He believed that his subordinates were also very knowledgeable in swordsmanship.
But obviously, his wish came true.
How to make a sword look better is a different concept from a murderous sword.
Although the Pocavalry Army advocates the sword technique of opening and closing, their swords are murderous swords.
After fighting for a few rounds, the Pocavalry Army let out their depression and cheered loudly.
The soldiers of Prince Su were naturally beaten with bruised noses and swollen faces.
"Swordsmanship, click to the end, the people of the Pocavalry Army are so rampant, are they under the instruction of General Jiang." Prince Su said in a deep voice.He looked at Zhuang Qiu, obviously trying to make trouble with Zhuang Qiu.
Zhuang Qiu said calmly: "On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes. In our barracks, we are often injured, but the soldiers don't complain at all. This is for the better development of the country of Ji. Besides, if we don't go all out, What's the point of competing?"
"This king didn't know before that Mr. Jiang is such a good eloquent."
Zhuang Qiu smiled softly: "The young general doesn't know that the people under the general's command are so careless, and the horses can't be controlled well."
As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
In terms of official position, Zhuang Qiu is a general of the third rank, not as good as a prince of the second rank, but because of the small land of Ji Kingdom, he does not have such high requirements for rank, and he did not say that the third rank must not disobey the second rank.
But like Zhuang Qiu, there are very few people who point out directly. Generally speaking, they give Prince Desu a little face.
Jiang Xu is straightforward and unafraid of authority, so he doesn't have many friends in Jicheng.
Now these words are also what he can say.
Zhuang Qiu just said these words after thinking about Jiang Xu's character.
"The war horse is frightened, it's my king's fault, this king is here to apologize to Master Jiang."
After speaking, Prince Su stood up and bowed directly to Zhuang Qiu.
If the discussion just now was still allowed by the rules, then Prince Su bowed to Zhuang Qiu now, it would be a short life.
Suddenly the scene was in an uproar, and the ministers under Prince Su began to criticize Zhuang Qiu clearly.
Zhuang Qiu also got up immediately, bowed back with a hug, pretended to be stupid and said: "What is the meaning of the prince, doesn't the prince know that I am only a third-rank official, but I can't bear such a big gift from the prince, besides, the horse was frightened, why should the prince apologize? , could it be said that the prince ordered the horses to be frightened?"
The officials naturally knew that Zhuang Qiu was messing around. In the current situation, if it was done according to common sense, it would definitely be criticized, but Zhuang Qiu said such illogical words, it was completely empty-handed.
This eloquence also impressed Ji Qingning.
He thought in his heart that if he hadn't been a military officer, this Mr. Jiang must be a great civil servant who can speak out against all Confucians.
Seeing that there was no way for Prince Su to force Zhuang Qiu to admit his mistakes with power, he naturally thought of other ways to find trouble.
In fact, the use of power to oppress is a matter of trial and error, and any official will not be afraid of being bowed by him, but this Jiang Xu, I don't know if he is stupid or courageous, so he really doesn't take him seriously.
Prince Su said again: "I heard that Mr. Jiang recently bought a new sword."
Zhuang Qiu praised: "The prince is well informed, and Jiang admires it."
"It just so happens that I have a swordsman under my command who also loves swords. He is willing to ask your lord for some advice."
"Which hero is it?"
"Duan Yu."
After the words fell, the silent man who had been standing behind Prince Su came out.
His face was like jade, which matched his name very well, but because of his extremely cold face, everyone didn't dare to look at him carefully.
Zhuang Qiu glanced at it, a little amused in his heart.
How could a monk who practiced Qi go to the place of ordinary people?
But this is also normal. Those who practice Qi are too low-level in the cultivation world, and they do some careless work. In the cultivation world, there is no such thing as being chic on the ground of mortals.
When Zhuang Qiu saw Duan Yu, he understood what Prince Su was up to.
He is trying to frighten me with a monk who cultivates Qi.
At this time, Ji Qingning noticed that something was wrong with Duan Yu, he stood up to smooth things over and said: "If you want to appreciate the sword, you can just hold it."
Prince Su smiled lightly, and said confidently: "I have long heard that Mr. Jiang's swordsmanship scares the Chu people. It is a pity to have such an opportunity, but to appreciate swords."
Zhuang Qiu stood up, and said with a light smile, "Then, respect is worse than obedience."
It's not a big deal for the little emperor to just sit there and watch the excitement.
It's not easy for someone to suppress the arrogance of his second uncle, and it's too late for him to be happy.
Moreover, he had also heard that Jiang Xu's sword was superb, so he wanted to see it for a long time.
Although he is an emperor, he is also a man. Which man doesn't like strong power.
Zhuang Qiu came to the center of the field, and the people around him retreated sensibly.
Duan Yu in the center looked at Zhuang Qiu with disdain.
A general in a mortal country naturally has limited vision, and I'm afraid he still feels vulnerable now, but later, he will know what it means to be beyond others.
Duan Yu guessed right, Zhuang Qiu really felt that he was vulnerable.
So I was trying to restrain my breath, for fear that my coercion would leak a little and scare the other party to death.
The gap in the realm of comprehension is too large, and even coercion is fatal.
Duan Yu's sword was out of its sheath, and he said coldly, "Please enlighten me."
When Duan Yu attacked, Zhuang Qiu didn't move his position at all, he just used the hilt of his sword to block with one hand.
Using spiritual power on the sword, it is impossible for ordinary people to resist so easily, Duan Yu knows this.
Although the level of Qi training is not much different from that of ordinary people, but after all, there is spiritual power in this sword.
Duan Yu put away his contempt, it seems that the strength of this mortal should be the top level among mortals, and he has to show his own cards to win.
Ji Qingning looked at the competition on the field with a little shock.
Of course he knew that Jiang Xu's strength was very strong, but he didn't expect that it was already so exaggerated, that Duan Yu, who he thought was very strange, didn't let Zhuang Qiu move at all.
Every move of the sword seems to contain the principles of heaven and earth, and it is particularly comforting to watch.
Ji Qingning also hoped to become a swordsman in the past, chic and powerful.
However, he is in poor health and cannot practice martial arts at all, and now he has to rely on his damaged body to do those shady things behind his back.
He is envious of Jiang Xu, even a little jealous.
Why some people are born with such a body, but why he can only spend his life in a wheelchair.
Of course, he also understands that he shouldn't be jealous, Jiang Xu is his ally now, and the ally is strong, so he should be happy.
Zhuang Qiu had no idea that so many thoughts had already appeared in Ji Qingning's mind. He was still thinking about whether to put some water. After all, a mortal who is in the Qi training state cannot shake a mortal at all, which is somewhat unreasonable.
So when the opponent released his big move, Zhuang Qiu took half a step back before blocking it.
But the situation was shocking enough.
Seeing that it was almost done, Zhuang Qiu tapped the opponent's arm with the scabbard, and the sword in the opponent's hand fell to the ground immediately.
The cold light was cold, and there was no sound.
A layman can't see what Zhuang Qiu's step back means, he can only know that Zhuang Qiu's sword is not out of its sheath.
After repelling Duan Yu, Zhuang Qiu said: "You are not bad, but you need to practice more on strength, your energy is too vain."
At this moment, Duan Yu could no longer resist.
He felt that what was in front of him was not an individual, but an insurmountable mountain.
He picked up the sword with his other uninjured hand, and replied, "Taught."
Because this proposal was originally a discussion, Zhuang Qiu also gave Prince Su a little face, so that he could have an excuse to turn this matter over.
If Prince Su, who really wanted to mess with him, became enraged and fell out with the emperor directly, he didn't know if it would affect Ji Qingning.
Zhuang Qiu reflected on himself, it was still too jumpy, a mere general would not dare to challenge the prince.
Next time, I will definitely not do this again.
After self-reflection, he returned to his seat, facing the extremely complicated expressions from all parties.
His subordinates, including Long Xing, all had dull eyes.
Although he knew that his general's swordsmanship was good, he didn't expect that he had already surpassed human beings, he was simply a god.
And those civil servants were faintly jealous, probably from today onwards, Jiang Xu would be crowned with the title of "Sword God".
But Prince Su never looked at him again.
He was ashamed enough today.
The fun competition continued, but everyone's thoughts were no longer on the competition, but began to inquire about the real strength of Jiang Xu, who had been dormant for so many years.
Nighttime, dinner party.
Those who stood out in the competition were rewarded, and the dinner began.
Even after watching the competition for a whole day, you will be tired and sleepy, and the competition after Zhuang Qiu's competition is somewhat childish.
You know, they saw Duan Yu's sword wind break a hole in the ground with their own eyes.
Because the hot spring dinner was not formal, the little emperor didn't have to be so restrained. He asked Zhuang Qiu curiously, "Jiang Qing, how did you develop your superb swordsmanship?"
Zhuang Qiu recalled his days in Taixuan Sword Sect: "There is no shortcut in the way of swordsmanship, the only thing is to practice hard day and night."
"But many people are very diligent, but you are the only one who can do this, Jiang Qing. It seems that Jiang Qing is very talented in the way of swordsmanship."
"Your Majesty is absurd, the young general is just a fluke."
Because of his anger during the day, Prince Su did not come to the banquet, and his officials also claimed to be sick.
If half of the officials were missing from the dinner, it would no longer be considered a dinner. In the past, the little emperor would panic.
This feeling is probably like sending invitations to someone for a birthday, but the feeling of no one coming is similar.
But because of the day's affairs, the little emperor is currently in high spirits, and he is not in the mood to think about it that much, and even feels that he will be relaxed if he does not come.
Although Ji Qingning attended the banquet, he was blown by the cold wind for a whole day and had a severe headache. He was not thinking about the banquet, and he was going back after spending a while with the emperor.
Zhuang Qiu got up quickly and said: "Your Majesty, I am a little tired from the day-time competition. Please allow me to go back to my room to rest."
"Sure, sure, I'm full too, let's all go back and rest."
"Yes. Your Majesty."
Zhuang Qiu walked a few steps quickly and followed Ji Qingning who was sitting in a wheelchair.
At this moment, Ji Qingning was wearing a felt hat on his head and a red fur cape.
He closed his eyes and meditated, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he opened his eyes.
"General Jiang." Ji Qingning called out politely.
"Master Guoshi has some headaches."
"It's like this when the cold wind blows, it's an old problem."
"When I was out fighting, I met many country doctors, and one of them had a cure for headaches."
"General Jiang is really well-informed."
"The national teacher might as well let me try it. It's just a massage method, and it won't have any side effects."
Sujuan glanced at Zhuang Qiu in confusion, and then at her master.
Because of the headache, Ji Qingning really doesn't want to talk to others now, but seeing Jiang Xu's appearance, he is very confident.
Ji Qingning had no choice but to say: "Then invite General Jiang to come to my residence."
"Well, let me push."
Zhuang Qiu took over Sujuan's work involuntarily, and pushed Ji Qingning forward behind her.
The road to the hot spring palace has not been repaired, and it is very bumpy.
Zhuang Qiu supported the wheel with spiritual power, making the wheelchair go much more smoothly.
Although Ji Qingning knew that Jiang Xu's actions were a bit out of line, he really had a headache and couldn't think about it that much.
He leaned back in the wheelchair, closed his eyes, trying to relieve this headache.
When they arrived at the residence, Ji Qingning had already fallen asleep.
This is almost impossible for Ji Qingning.
His cautious and suspicious nature, coupled with the torment of illness, rarely allowed him to fall asleep easily.
When Sujuan saw it, she was also surprised.
When I looked up at Jiang Xu's resolute and steady face, I couldn't help thinking, General Jiang is really a man who makes people feel safe.
However, as a slave, she naturally couldn't think wildly and put her own thoughts behind her head. She whispered: "General Jiang, the Master of the State Teacher does not allow others to help him to bed. We just need to push him to the side of the bed." .”
"I'll hug it faster."
Sujuan shook her head, she still lowered her voice and said: "Master Guo Shi said, he wants to come by himself."
Seeing Sujuan's firm expression, Zhuang Qiu understood.
Even if Ji Qingning's legs were healthy later on, the inferiority complex he had when he was young is still deeply rooted.
He can't bear to let others do his own things. While he has low self-esteem, he also has a very strong self-esteem that cannot be trampled on.
The entertainment activities in Jicheng were limited, which led to the fact that the emperors had nothing to have fun on weekdays.
So in addition to wasting time in making red tape, you have to add to the fun before doing things.
For example, hold a riding and archery competition before soaking in the hot springs.
This kind of riding and archery competition is naturally a nonsense of the people below. The emperor and all the princes are watching the show.
But there are exceptions. At the end of the deathbed, there will be a prince or a martial emperor playing, which can be regarded as a challenge for this hot spring competition.
Although Ji Qingning is physically handicapped, as a national teacher, he should be present, this is a respect for the emperor and prince.
While pushing Ji Qingning's wheelchair, Sujuan said: "Sujuan has already gone to investigate. General Jiang is not a man, and he also pursued a lady when he was young, but later that lady fell into the water. After that winter, General Jiang never mentioned the matter of marriage again."
Ji Qingning said in surprise, "Which Miss?"
With his knowledge of people, it is logically unreasonable to see that General Jiang's good manliness is almost a certainty, but now he finds that he has made a wrong judgment.
"It's the daughter of the Minister of Rites. Her surname is Cen, and her name is Cen Ying."
Ji Qingning recalled the name, but he didn't remember it.
"I see, you don't need to check anymore, just come here, if you ask more, General Jiang will not be happy."
"Sujuan understands."
Facts are in front of us, this Jiang Xu is not only unmanly, but also hit by the early death of his secret love, so he is still unmarried.
Thinking of this, Ji Qingning couldn't help but feel a little funny. Also, the general looked like a wise and powerful man, so how could he be interested in a sick and crippled man.
As for Prince Su's interest, it was purely to humiliate him and His Majesty.
Withdrawing his thoughts, he had already arrived at the school grounds in the hot spring palace.
Although the hot spring is on the mountain, the school ground is also on the mountain, but the school ground is extremely spacious. It is obvious that the imperial family of Ji Kingdom has often repaired and expanded this place over the years, which made it so spacious.
On the field, Prince Su was wearing armor.
Ji Qingning probably knew that at the end of this competition, Prince Su should play.
Moreover, the imperial guards did not participate in this competition. They were still stationed everywhere, guarding against someone plotting to assassinate the emperor.
So only Prince Su's Jicheng Army and Jiang Xu's Pocavalry Army were left to participate.
At the beginning of the competition, the two teams spontaneously lined up, and the two teams were clearly divided.
If Prince Su's people welcome them, Prince Su's side will cheer, and the Po Cavalry Army will cheer if the Po Cavalry Army wins, but they will never cheer for each other.
In this division, the broken cavalry army is obviously more experienced in riding and shooting because they often go out of the city to fight, so they occupy a high position.
They triumphantly provoked Ji Chengjun, which naturally aroused the anger of Ji Chengjun.
The Jicheng army has a large number of people, so there are naturally many talented people.
"Come on, call Chen Chuan and let him play." The commander of the Jicheng army saw the other party triumphantly, and asked them to call someone with a gloomy expression.
Then Chen Chuan came.
The very swift Chen Chuan not only hit the tenth ring, but also indulged his horse and knocked the Po Cavalry man off his horse.
A hit like this will inevitably hurt your muscles and bones.
Long Xing immediately shouted: "What are you doing!"
Chen Chuan dismounted slowly, knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to Prince Su: "Your subordinate failed to control the horse, please forgive me, Prince Su."
Everyone can see that Chen Chuan is not apologetic at all.
But that is Prince Su, who dares to have an opinion, even the little emperor must be afraid of him three points.
Prince Su deliberately said with a straight face: "Why are you so careless? The Pocavalry Army is an important line of defense for our national defense. How can such a hero be injured?"
"Don't come to plead guilty to me, you go to plead guilty to the emperor."
Chen Chuan kowtowed to the emperor again: "Chen Chuan is guilty! Please punish the emperor."
Now, the embarrassment is the emperor.
If he punished Chen Chuan, he would be slapping Prince Su in the face, but if he didn't punish him, it would chill the hearts of the cavalrymen.
The little emperor hesitated, and subconsciously looked at the national teacher.
Ji Qingning coughed twice, and said weakly: "It is a fact that Chen Chuan ran into the man who broke the cavalry. This must be punished, but because he didn't mean it, he can make a mistake lightly. Your Majesty, how about Fine Chen Chuan's salary for two months, and use these silver taels to appease the injured soldier of the Pocavalry Army, what do you think?"
The little emperor was overjoyed, and immediately said: "That's it."
Ji Qingning nodded with a smile.
Prince Su glanced at Ji Qingning, who still smiled back.
Zhuang Qiu could only keep silent. In this matter, he actually had no right to speak. As the commander of the Po Cavalry Army, he would definitely want to speak for his soldiers. If he wanted to consider Ji Qingning instead of the soldiers If you support them, they will definitely be suspected.
To play this person seriously, so as not to disrupt Ji Qingning's preparations.
"What does Prince Su think?" Ji Qingning asked Prince Su again. Chen Chuan is one of his subordinates, so he must have obtained his consent.
"The national teacher's method is very appropriate, just do as the national teacher said."
The ones who are dissatisfied now are the group of people in the Pocavalry Army.
One of their people broke his leg, and the instigator was punished with a salary, who can swallow this pain.
And the national teacher also said that it was not intentional, why was it not intentional, is everyone blind?
But seeing that Jiang Xu didn't say anything, the group of cavalrymen naturally couldn't say anything.
"Your Majesty, in the past, there were riding and archery competitions, which were too simple. How about adding a swordsmanship competition." Zhuang Qiu finally spoke after this matter was over.
"Swordsmanship?" The little emperor was thoughtful, and then he said: "It makes sense. But how should the rules be set for the swordsmanship competition?"
"Let the participating soldiers draw lots and compete one-on-one. The competition uses wooden swords, so that you will not hurt the brave soldiers."
"This sounds very interesting." The little emperor smiled, and he agreed: "Then follow Jiang Qing's instructions. You go to prepare the wooden swords, and you go to arrange the order of the competition."
Zhuang Qiu looked at Long Xing indifferently.
Long Xing understood Zhuang Qiu's meaning instantly.
This is what the general won for them, and the way to fight back in an open and honest manner.
He didn't believe that the Jicheng army in the capital who oppressed the common people could compare with them who trained in swordsmanship every day.
He secretly clenched his fists and said to the people around him, "Brothers, it's time for revenge."
Prince Su and Zhuang Qiu looked at each other, both of them showed no expression on their faces, but the smell of gunpowder smoke was already in the air.
It was as if there was a big war that was about to break out.
It's not that Zhuang Qiu doesn't know how to play tricks, but he thinks playing tricks with this group of people is really a bit of a bully.
But right now he is in such a status, if he doesn’t seek justice for his subordinates, then after a long time, his subordinates will also renounce him—of course, with Jiang Xu, when he can’t leave, leave Jiang Xu a Crazy mess.
The new competition will be ready soon. The swordsmanship competition is a little more entertaining than riding and shooting. The viewing pleasure lies in the swordsmanship itself.

"Swordsmanship, click to the end, the people of the Pocavalry Army are so rampant, are they under the instruction of General Jiang." Prince Su said in a deep voice.He looked at Zhuang Qiu, obviously trying to make trouble with Zhuang Qiu.
Zhuang Qiu said calmly: "On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes. In our barracks, we are often injured, but the soldiers don't complain at all. This is for the better development of the country of Ji. Besides, if we don't go all out, What's the point of competing?"
"This king didn't know before that Mr. Jiang is such a good eloquent."
Zhuang Qiu smiled softly: "The young general doesn't know that the people under the general's command are so careless, and the horses can't be controlled well."
As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
In terms of official position, Zhuang Qiu is a general of the third rank, not as good as a prince of the second rank, but because of the small land of Ji Kingdom, he does not have such high requirements for rank, and he did not say that the third rank must not disobey the second rank.
But like Zhuang Qiu, there are very few people who point out directly. Generally speaking, they give Prince Desu a little face.
Jiang Xu is straightforward and unafraid of authority, so he doesn't have many friends in Jicheng.
Now these words are also what he can say.
Zhuang Qiu just said these words after thinking about Jiang Xu's character.
"The war horse is frightened, it's my king's fault, this king is here to apologize to Master Jiang."
After speaking, Prince Su stood up and bowed directly to Zhuang Qiu.
If the discussion just now was still allowed by the rules, then Prince Su bowed to Zhuang Qiu now, it would be a short life.
Suddenly the scene was in an uproar, and the ministers under Prince Su began to criticize Zhuang Qiu clearly.

This eloquence also impressed Ji Qingning.
He thought in his heart that if he hadn't been a military officer, this Mr. Jiang must be a great civil servant who can speak out against all Confucians.
Seeing that there was no way for Prince Su to force Zhuang Qiu to admit his mistakes with power, he naturally thought of other ways to find trouble.
In fact, the use of power to oppress is a matter of trial and error, and any official will not be afraid of being bowed by him, but this Jiang Xu, I don't know if he is stupid or courageous, so he really doesn't take him seriously.
Prince Su said again: "I heard that Mr. Jiang recently bought a new sword."
Zhuang Qiu praised: "The prince is well informed, and Jiang admires it."
"It just so happens that I have a swordsman under my command who also loves swords. He is willing to ask your lord for some advice."
"Which hero is it?"
"Duan Yu."
After the words fell, the silent man who had been standing behind Prince Su came out.
His face was like jade, which matched his name very well, but because of his extremely cold face, everyone didn't dare to look at him carefully.
Zhuang Qiu glanced at it, a little amused in his heart.
How could a monk who practiced Qi go to the place of ordinary people?
But this is also normal. Those who practice Qi are too low-level in the cultivation world, and they do some careless work. In the cultivation world, there is no such thing as being chic on the ground of mortals.
When Zhuang Qiu saw Duan Yu, he understood what Prince Su was up to.
He is trying to frighten me with a monk who cultivates Qi.
At this time, Ji Qingning noticed that something was wrong with Duan Yu, he stood up to smooth things over and said: "If you want to appreciate the sword, you can just hold it."
Prince Su smiled lightly, and said confidently: "I have long heard that Mr. Jiang's swordsmanship scares the Chu people. It is a pity to have such an opportunity, but to appreciate swords."
Zhuang Qiu stood up, and said with a light smile, "Then, respect is worse than obedience."
It's not a big deal for the little emperor to just sit there and watch the excitement.
It's not easy for someone to suppress the arrogance of his second uncle, and it's too late for him to be happy.
Moreover, he had also heard that Jiang Xu's sword was superb, so he wanted to see it for a long time.
Although he is an emperor, he is also a man. Which man doesn't like strong power.
Zhuang Qiu came to the center of the field, and the people around him retreated sensibly.
Duan Yu in the center looked at Zhuang Qiu with disdain.
A general in a mortal country naturally has limited vision, and I'm afraid he still feels vulnerable now, but later, he will know what it means to be beyond others.
Duan Yu guessed right, Zhuang Qiu really felt that he was vulnerable.
So I was trying to restrain my breath, for fear that my coercion would leak a little and scare the other party to death.
The gap in the realm of comprehension is too large, and even coercion is fatal.
Duan Yu's sword was out of its sheath, and he said coldly, "Please enlighten me."
When Duan Yu attacked, Zhuang Qiu didn't move his position at all, he just used the hilt of his sword to block with one hand.
Using spiritual power on the sword, it is impossible for ordinary people to resist so easily, Duan Yu knows this.
Although the level of Qi training is not much different from that of ordinary people, but after all, there is spiritual power in this sword.
Duan Yu put away his contempt, it seems that the strength of this mortal should be the top level among mortals, and he has to show his own cards to win.
Ji Qingning looked at the competition on the field with a little shock.
Of course he knew that Jiang Xu's strength was very strong, but he didn't expect that it was already so exaggerated, that Duan Yu, who he thought was very strange, didn't let Zhuang Qiu move at all.
Every move of the sword seems to contain the principles of heaven and earth, and it is particularly comforting to watch.
Ji Qingning also hoped to become a swordsman in the past, chic and powerful.
However, he is in poor health and cannot practice martial arts at all, and now he has to rely on his damaged body to do those shady things behind his back.
He is envious of Jiang Xu, even a little jealous.
Why some people are born with such a body, but why he can only spend his life in a wheelchair.
Of course, he also understands that he shouldn't be jealous, Jiang Xu is his ally now, and the ally is strong, so he should be happy.
Zhuang Qiu had no idea that so many thoughts had already appeared in Ji Qingning's mind. He was still thinking about whether to put some water. After all, a mortal who is in the Qi training state cannot shake a mortal at all, which is somewhat unreasonable.
So when the opponent released his big move, Zhuang Qiu took half a step back before blocking it.
But the situation was shocking enough.
Seeing that it was almost done, Zhuang Qiu tapped the opponent's arm with the scabbard, and the sword in the opponent's hand fell to the ground immediately.
The cold light was cold, and there was no sound.
A layman can't see what Zhuang Qiu's step back means, he can only know that Zhuang Qiu's sword is not out of its sheath.
After repelling Duan Yu, Zhuang Qiu said: "You are not bad, but you need to practice more on strength, your energy is too vain."
At this moment, Duan Yu could no longer resist.
He felt that what was in front of him was not an individual, but an insurmountable mountain.
He picked up the sword with his other uninjured hand, and replied, "Taught."
Because this proposal was originally a discussion, Zhuang Qiu also gave Prince Su a little face, so that he could have an excuse to turn this matter over.
If Prince Su, who really wanted to mess with him, became enraged and fell out with the emperor directly, he didn't know if it would affect Ji Qingning.
Zhuang Qiu reflected on himself, it was still too jumpy, a mere general would not dare to challenge the prince.
Next time, I will definitely not do this again.
After self-reflection, he returned to his seat, facing the extremely complicated expressions from all parties.
His subordinates, including Long Xing, all had dull eyes.
Although he knew that his general's swordsmanship was good, he didn't expect that he had already surpassed human beings, he was simply a god.
And those civil servants were faintly jealous, probably from today onwards, Jiang Xu would be crowned with the title of "Sword God".
But Prince Su never looked at him again.
He was ashamed enough today.
The fun competition continued, but everyone's thoughts were no longer on the competition, but began to inquire about the real strength of Jiang Xu, who had been dormant for so many years.
Nighttime, dinner party.
Those who stood out in the competition were rewarded, and the dinner began.
Even after watching the competition for a whole day, you will be tired and sleepy, and the competition after Zhuang Qiu's competition is somewhat childish.
You know, they saw Duan Yu's sword wind break a hole in the ground with their own eyes.
Because the hot spring dinner was not formal, the little emperor didn't have to be so restrained. He asked Zhuang Qiu curiously, "Jiang Qing, how did you develop your superb swordsmanship?"
Zhuang Qiu recalled his days in Taixuan Sword Sect: "There is no shortcut in the way of swordsmanship, the only thing is to practice hard day and night."
"But many people are very diligent, but you are the only one who can do this, Jiang Qing. It seems that Jiang Qing is very talented in the way of swordsmanship."
"Your Majesty is absurd, the young general is just a fluke."
Because of his anger during the day, Prince Su did not come to the banquet, and his officials also claimed to be sick.
If half of the officials were missing from the dinner, it would no longer be considered a dinner. In the past, the little emperor would panic.
This feeling is probably like sending invitations to someone for a birthday, but the feeling of no one coming is similar.
But because of the day's affairs, the little emperor is currently in high spirits, and he is not in the mood to think about it that much, and even feels that he will be relaxed if he does not come.
Although Ji Qingning attended the banquet, he was blown by the cold wind for a whole day and had a severe headache. He was not thinking about the banquet, and he was going back after spending a while with the emperor.
Zhuang Qiu got up quickly and said: "Your Majesty, I am a little tired from the day-time competition. Please allow me to go back to my room to rest."
"Sure, sure, I'm full too, let's all go back and rest."
"Yes. Your Majesty."
Zhuang Qiu walked a few steps quickly and followed Ji Qingning who was sitting in a wheelchair.
At this moment, Ji Qingning was wearing a felt hat on his head and a red fur cape.
He closed his eyes and meditated, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he opened his eyes.
"General Jiang." Ji Qingning called out politely.
"Master Guoshi has some headaches."
"It's like this when the cold wind blows, it's an old problem."
"When I was out fighting, I met many country doctors, and one of them had a cure for headaches."
"General Jiang is really well-informed."
"The national teacher might as well let me try it. It's just a massage method, and it won't have any side effects."
Sujuan glanced at Zhuang Qiu in confusion, and then at her master.
Because of the headache, Ji Qingning really doesn't want to talk to others now, but seeing Jiang Xu's appearance, he is very confident.
Ji Qingning had no choice but to say: "Then invite General Jiang to come to my residence."
"Well, let me push."
Zhuang Qiu took over Sujuan's work involuntarily, and pushed Ji Qingning forward behind her.
The road to the hot spring palace has not been repaired, and it is very bumpy.
Zhuang Qiu supported the wheel with spiritual power, making the wheelchair go much more smoothly.
Although Ji Qingning knew that Jiang Xu's actions were a bit out of line, he really had a headache and couldn't think about it that much.
He leaned back in the wheelchair, closed his eyes, trying to relieve this headache.
When they arrived at the residence, Ji Qingning had already fallen asleep.
This is almost impossible for Ji Qingning.
His cautious and suspicious nature, coupled with the torment of illness, rarely allowed him to fall asleep easily.
When Sujuan saw it, she was also surprised.
When I looked up at Jiang Xu's resolute and steady face, I couldn't help thinking, General Jiang is really a man who makes people feel safe.
However, as a slave, she naturally couldn't think wildly and put her own thoughts behind her head. She whispered: "General Jiang, the Master of the State Teacher does not allow others to help him to bed. We just need to push him to the side of the bed." .”
"I'll hug it faster."
Sujuan shook her head, she still lowered her voice and said: "Master Guo Shi said, he wants to come by himself."
Seeing Sujuan's firm expression, Zhuang Qiu understood.
Even if Ji Qingning's legs were healthy later on, the inferiority complex he had when he was young is still deeply rooted.
He can't bear to let others do his own things. While he has low self-esteem, he also has a very strong self-esteem that cannot be trampled on.
