Born in an ancient peasant family, the peasant girl became famous all over the world

Chapter 339: Contest in front of the palace 1

Jiang Yue took the lead and marched steadily.

The brothers walked with their heads held high, and the bravery and fearlessness gained from their experience at the border were fully displayed in them.

There were two places for people standing in front of the hall, one for the officials appointed by the imperial court, and the other for the contestants.

As soon as Jiang Yue and his fellow brothers arrived, they were met with constant stares from the court officials.

It's because they have the kind of courage that is unique to soldiers on the border.

Wu Fang and others had never seen such a scene before, but they had experienced killing tens of thousands of enemies on the battlefields at the border, so they were not nervous when facing the court officials.

When they actually arrived outside the palace, most of their inner tension dissipated, and what was left was only anticipation.

As soon as Wu Fang and others arrived, Jiang Yue arranged them among the crowd preparing for the competition.

Those who came today, in addition to the generals and soldiers from both inside and outside the palace, were also the relatives and sons of the important officials of the royal palace.

Today, they all go with their fathers, and some rely on connections.

"Young General Jiang." Before Jiang Yue could move, Li Shao stepped forward and clasped his fists, then his eyes fell on the five people of Wu Fang.

"I am optimistic about them."

He went to the border and had a special feeling for the soldiers there.

"It's still unclear who will win or lose." Chen Yuan curled his lips when he saw Wu Fang and the others. What about the soldiers at the border? The soldiers behind him were still the elite in the capital.

What he said was true. The eight soldiers standing behind him were also extraordinary. They started as colonels and the lowest military rank was captain of a thousand men.

It was the first time for the five brothers to meet court officials. Except for Li Shao who looked a little familiar, everyone else looked unfamiliar to them.

At this moment, they were standing in formation ready for the competition, ignoring the competition among the others.

Jiang Yue hadn't observed the test subjects for long when she heard a voice.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Your Majesty, when you come, you must pay homage.

Zhao Chongxiu was wearing a black court robe with yellow edges today, which made him more interesting than previous morning court appearances.

As soon as he arrived, he sat in the first seat in front of the hall which had been arranged long ago.

At this moment, the eunuch reported,

"Your Majesty has ordered that the fight be a ring-style match, two-on-two, and the decision be decided by drawing lots."

"No weapons are allowed in the competition to prevent injuries."

"That's it. Anyone who loses twice will be eliminated."

Afterwards, the names of all the contestants were recorded and written on small bamboo sticks.

Jiang Yue, along with other court officials, stood beside His Majesty, all looking at the young talents of about 30 years old standing in front of the palace.

Wu Fang and others stood in a circle in front of the hall, forming a huge arc, waiting to go on stage.

With His Majesty's order, the competition began.

The eunuch was in charge of drawing the lots. All the contestants looked nervously at the bamboo sticks in his hand, and then they heard him read:

"In the first match, Grand Tutor Mu's son Mu Chengfeng will fight against the imperial guard Gu Yanping."

To be able to serve as the imperial guard, one must have superb martial arts skills.

As soon as Gu Yanping's name came out, everyone looked at Mu Chengfeng with some sympathy.

Gu Yanping is also the son of an official. Since His Majesty has said that everyone can participate, he also wants this job. The expression on his face at this moment shows that he is determined to get it.

Mu Chengfeng curled the corners of his lips slightly, glanced at his father Mu Yun, nodded, then jumped up and appeared in the center of the hall.

At this moment, Gu Yanping had already been standing in the middle of the field.

Jiang Yue stared at them, wanting to know what powers the powerful people in the capital had.

The two men on the field clasped their fists to each other, and the competition was about to begin.

Such a scene is quite eye-catching.

Gu Yanping's move seemed to sweep away thousands of troops, and his right foot flew up and headed straight for the opponent's door.

Mu Chengfeng was not willing to be outdone. He dodged the attack by leaning sideways, reached out and grabbed Gu Yanping's wrist, twisting it hard.

Gu Yanping felt pain and twisted his body to break free, then pushed out with both palms, creating a gust of wind.

Mu Chengfeng took a few steps back, changed his pace, and instantly rushed forward, punching Gu Yanping in the abdomen.

Jiang Yue looked at it and felt that Mu Chengfeng's moves looked somewhat familiar.

Then he watched and Gu Yanping pulled in his stomach to avoid the attack, then raised his leg and kicked towards Mu Chengfeng's knee.

If this kick hits hard, Mu Chengfeng will definitely be injured.

Just when everyone thought he was going to kick him, Mu Chengfeng suddenly jumped high into the air, like a roc spreading its wings, and reached out towards Gu Yanping's head with his hands forming claws.

Gu Yanping hurriedly crossed his arms to block, but he only felt a strong wind rushing straight to his face.

He was unable to dodge and was knocked flying out of the circle. Wherever he was hit, the contestants all panicked and scattered. Only the brothers surnamed Wu came forward to help and supported Gu Yanping's body completely.

"Thank you." Gu Yanping looked at them and said.

Even if you lose, you still have the necessary magnanimity.

With a sound:

"In the first match, Mu Chengfeng wins!"

As a royal guard, Gu Yanping lost the first game, and his face was filled with gloom.

He stood up and stood in the crowd, not daring to look His Majesty in the eye. He only thought that he must not lose the next game.

Master Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, with an unconcealable smile on the corner of his lips, and the pride hidden in his heart was perfectly hidden by him.

Jiang Yue witnessed the first competition with her own eyes, and secretly wondered about the relationship between Grand Tutor Mu and Mu Heng.

At the same time, she had begun to worry about her fellow brothers.

"The second match is between Zheng Shu, the commander of Lindu Army, and Wu Yuan, the commander of Xuanwu Army."

This match was not just a contest between two players, but also a contest between Jiang Yue and Chen Yuan.

Jiang Yue thought to himself, can Second Senior Brother defeat the opposing captain?

Chen Yuan curved his lips and said, "Young General, Captain Zheng is as strong as me, and your men should just wait to admit defeat."

"The winner will be revealed on the field." Jiang Yue was not completely sure that his second senior brother would win.

I just watched the thrilling first show, and I thought to myself that the most important thing is to participate.

Lindu City is home to many hidden talents. This can be seen from the martial arts of General Ling and Master Yue Tingshan.

"I advise you to be mentally prepared." Chen Yuan cast a contemptuous smile on Wu Yuan and his eyes fell on the two people on the field.

Jiang Yue still had the same thought, the outcome would be clear on the field, so there was no need to waste time on such useless verbal arguments.

Captain Zheng Shu stepped into the center of the venue first, his eyes firm and confident.

Wu Yuan followed calmly, and the two stood opposite each other and saluted each other with fists clasped.

At the beginning of the competition, Zheng Shu took the lead in attacking. He was nimble in his steps and punched towards Wu Yuan with fierce force.

Wu Yuan responded calmly. He dodged the attack skillfully with a sway of his body, and at the same time struck out with his backhand, hitting Zheng Shu on the back.

Zheng Shu felt the energy behind him, rolled forward to avoid it, then turned quickly and raised his leg to sweep towards Wu Yuan's lower body.

Everyone watching around held their breath and stared at the two people in the field.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yue saw Wu Yuan lose his balance, his legs were kicked, and his whole body tilted to the side.

"Second Brother!" Wu Ning was watching anxiously and was already helping from outside the court.

But it was in vain.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

Zheng Shu seized Wu Yuan's weakness and swept him with one leg again.

Wu Yuan, as the first Xuanwu army to take the field, lost.

Wu Fang and other senior brothers all showed a lonely look on their faces.
