Chapter 204 It turns out that my uncle is so outstanding!
Chu Li covered Bing Xia's mouth, "Okay, stop it."
Huanyan smiled, "I really want to see what expression Commander Pei would have if he knew that Princess Chuchu was still alive."
Bing Xia put rouge on herself to look beautiful, and turned around and said, "Commander Pei's temperament has changed a lot in recent years. He may have forgotten the friendship we had in the past. Otherwise, he would not treat the master like this. After all, he is our master's brother, and he deliberately targeted him."
"Okay, let's stop talking about Pei Ye. It's so unlucky." Chu Li opened the rouge and applied some on her cheeks. After looking at herself in the mirror, she smiled with satisfaction.
Bingxia and Huanyan talked about Pei Ye for a long time. Now her mind was full of Pei Ye's annoying face.
Whenever she thought about continuing to deal with Pei Ye, her head ached.
That guy is a lunatic. If he gets involved in anything, there will definitely be a lot of uncertainty.
Fortunately, my husband and uncle were there, so the situation was much more controllable.
......
The next morning.
Chu Li was standing on the second floor of the Hero Building and saw a long dragon-like team in the distance.
These people all signed up to join the army.
However, not everyone can be selected.
Chu Li could tell from their faces who was doing it voluntarily and who was doing it out of helplessness.
Not everyone has the heart to defend their country. Many people want to gain military merit so that their families can inherit the land they have acquired.
Some people joined the army to save their families a lot of miscellaneous labor and taxes.
Food and accommodation are provided and there is a basic salary. Once military merit is achieved, the whole family will enjoy the glory.
So some people tried desperately to join the army.
People who want to join the army have signed up one after another. What everyone is most looking forward to is the martial arts test in the martial arts arena. The top martial arts champion will be selected today.
In addition to Ye Hanting, Chu Li, Mu Feng, Pei Ye, and Minister of War Xiao Cang, the Sixth Prince also came to join in the fun.
Lao Liu sat behind Chu Li, and he was as excited as if he was watching the Olympic Games in person.
"Brother Li, is it difficult to choose the martial arts champion? Why do you all look so serious?"
"It is very difficult. You know Huo Yuanjia, he is the best in Tianjin, and Wu Zhuangyuan is the best in the country. You see, the event they are going to compete in is much more difficult than the triathlon."
Chu Li gave the list to Lao Liu.
After Lao Liu took a look, his hair stood up.
Chu Li explained to Lao Liu, how powerful could the martial arts champions in ancient times be?
Let me put it this way, there were 494 emperors in history, but there were only 293 martial arts champions who served as the ceiling of combat power.
Apart from the reason that culture is valued more than martial arts, there are other reasons why martial arts champions are so rare.
The external examination of the martial arts examination is also known as "skill and courage", which is entirely composed of the three items of strength.
The first item is to use a hard bow, with four levels to choose from, namely eight forces, ten forces, twelve forces, and above twelve forces.
Twelve forces are equivalent to one hundred and forty-two kilograms today. Not only do you have to pull it apart, but you have to pull it apart three times in a row to succeed.
The second event, sword dancing, is also divided into three levels: 80 jin, 100 jin, and 120 jin.
It's not just about holding the knife, but also about dancing with the knife.
The third item is lifting a large stone.
It is divided into four levels: 200 jin, 250 jin, 300 jin, and above 300 jin.
Not only does it require lifting to a high height, but even the bottom of the rock has to be exposed.
In addition, one needs to take tests on archery on horseback, horse spear, and foot archery, and even has requirements for speech, talent and appearance.
Absolutely not, you are a rough guy.
You should read the Four Books and Five Classics, and also learn a little bit of martial arts.
Not only must one be skilled in archery and horsemanship, and have excellent swordsmanship, but one must also possess extraordinary kung fu and the intelligence to win battles.
Chu Li secretly sighed: Damn it, any qualified person must be more rusty than my 1982 kitchen knife.
Lao Liu was completely dumbfounded when he heard this. "Except for a little money, I am nothing but a loser!"
Then he heard the Minister of War say, "The last No. 1 martial arts champion was Major General Mu Feng. It has been five years since Great Chu could produce a No. 1 martial arts champion. I wonder if this group of people today can do it?"
Chu Li's eyes lit up and he looked at Mu Feng. It turned out that his uncle was so outstanding!
Lao Liu praised: "Brother Li's uncle is actually a martial arts champion! He really has a working man's lumbar disc, it's too protruding!"
Chu Li: “…”
Mu Feng noticed Chu Li looking at him out of the corner of his eye, and his ears turned red unconsciously.
Ye Hanting caught a glimpse of Chu Li's sparkling eyes, and he pressed his hands on the armrest of the chair with a little force.
Chi Yan took a look and complained in his heart: See, the master is jealous. Winning three top prizes in a row is unprecedented.
If the master takes part in the martial arts examination, he will definitely be the top scorer. It's okay, we won't be angry.
He narrowed his eyes, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind. He wondered what would happen if his master and General Mu had a fight one day!
Hehe, it must be exciting.
Pei Ye looked casually at the people who had been shortlisted for the martial arts test.
Today, with the permission of His Majesty, he wants to choose someone to be the deputy commander of the imperial guards.
Chu Li also looked towards the martial arts arena, and her eyes fell on Xie Jingchuan, whom she had just met yesterday.
When Xie Jingchuan saw Chu Li, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Master Li was actually sitting in the main seat, Li, Chu Li!
It turns out that Master Li is actually the Crown Prince!
The two of them made eye contact, but did not reveal much emotion.
After all, this is a martial arts test. If people find out that the prince knows him, they might make a fuss about it.
Chu Li withdrew her gaze. She found that Xie Jingchuan was a smart man. He looked gentle and refined, and his fighting skills seemed to be quite good. It was quite a contrast.
The competition begins soon.
Chu Li saw Mu Jiangge mixed in the crowd.
Mu Jiangge felt extremely regretful. If she were a man, she could also go on stage and compete with the others.
After she saw Xie Jingchuan, she turned her gaze away from him.
She had already found out that the person she met yesterday was Xie Jingchuan, the son of Marquis Jingyang, the good husband candidate her grandfather had mentioned.
The drums started beating, and the first, second, and third rounds of competition were exciting one after another. Cheers rang out everywhere, and Lao Liu squealed like a pig behind Chu Li.
"It's lifted up, awesome! Holy crap!"
"Fuck, that's awesome!"
Chu Li scratched his ears. This guy was too noisy.
She was invigilating the exam as an examiner, and there was a commentator beside her.
She was also shocked. Xie Jingchuan looked very delicate, but when he lifted the big rock, the lines of his muscles could be seen through his clothes.
Chu Li turned his head and whispered, "Stop howling. The guy on the stage is so strong. Be careful that he will punch you and turn you into a Chaoshan beef ball."
Lao Liu looked excited, "No, no, no, I will be beaten into a pissing beef ball!"
Chu Li: “…”
Mu Jiangge in the audience was also excited. She didn't expect that the handsome Xie Jingchuan actually had a muscular body.
Looks good, quite good looking!
Next came the tests on horseback archery, carbine spear, and foot archery.
When Xie Jingchuan rode on the horse and picked up the bow and arrow in a heroic manner, Chu Li looked at him and suddenly felt that he was a bit like a human.
