Chapter 321: The Martial Arts Begins(1/2)
Just like martial arts are held everywhere.
Every time we get to the martial arts ceremony, the school outside the city is the most lively place in the area.
The reason is very simple.
Wen Ju couldn't go in and read it.
And martial arts can be watched directly.
This is like the difference between the Olympic competitions and the college entrance examination in later generations. The former is crowded with gongs and drums, while the latter is even the horn of the car driving near the examination room will not let you press the same.
And this is the grand event of the capital every four years.
There are more people watching.
It also includes envoys from various countries in the capital of Da Chu.
...
Early in the morning, Li Dajian brought a few eunuchs to the prison in Kaifeng.
Cao Yan was still lying on the bamboo bed in the yard.
Although the prison was washed away, the smell could not be dissipated by simply washing.
Besides, no one has allowed me to sleep there now, and Li Dajian helped me prepare a bamboo bed to rest outside, so Cao Yan would not go to the prison to sleep.
The weather is too hot, I can't sleep at night, I can't wake up during the day, and I don't go to bed more early in the morning, life is still difficult.
"Go and call sir to get up." Li Dajian ordered the little eunuch behind him.
"yes."
Two little eunuchs walked to the bamboo bed and lifted the mosquito net.
"Sir, get up."
Cao Yan opened his eyes, sat up, yawned, and stretched.
I reached out to look at the watch on my hand and it was only six forty.
"The chief magistrate is so early today?" Cao Yan remembered that he usually came here at around 9 in the morning, and it was the first time he could do so early.
"Your Majesty said that you are allowed to see the martial arts in the past two days, so I came here to take the sir."
"Ha? Then please thank the chief magistrate for me." Cao Yan's smile appeared when he heard this and hurriedly got up from the bed.
"Well, I will definitely bring you the words of Mr. I will ask you to wash up quickly. We will follow His Majesty's ceremonial guard later."
"Ah?" When Cao Yan heard this, he felt a little sore in his feet and wanted to go back to the bed and lie down and don't want to go.
Is this a rhythm of dying by myself? It’s about ten miles away from the inner city to the schoolyard outside the city.
It's okay to have a cool weather, so I just ran as a morning run, but this day...
Cao Yan looked up and saw that the sun was almost out.
Obviously, he knew what Cao Yan was thinking, but Li Dajian did not explain too much: "We [new www.xsbiquge.info] first took the carriage to wait outside Nanxun Gate. When His coming down, we can follow in."
"This is the best." Cao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
The schoolyard of the capital martial arts competition is right there in Yujin Garden.
It is not much far from Nanxunmen to the schoolyard, and it is at most about two miles away.
...
The two of them rode out of Nanxun Gate along Yu Street in a carriage.
Li Dajian asked the eunuch to park the carriage aside.
He took Cao Yan and stood on the side of the road.
Cao Yan looked towards the city's Yu Street.
It seemed as if I could see the jade chariot from afar.
Li Dajian stood aside, lowering his head slightly.
The eyes look at the nose, the nose look at the heart without saying a word.
Soon, teams of imperial guards trot out from a distance.
One by one, stand on both sides of the road and be warned.
Do not allow pedestrians to go to the middle of the road.
And the pedestrians on the road consciously retreated to both sides of the road.
...
Following those many ceremonial guards.
The emperor's jade chariot slowly sailed.
Li Dajian had already lowered his head and bowed to the jade chariot.
But Cao Yan kept raising his head and looking at the woman sitting on the jade chariot, wearing twelve crowns at most in her early forties.
Mature and beautiful.
However, Cao Yan always felt that she looked familiar.
It seems like I've seen it somewhere.
Xiang Qinghan, who was on the jade chariot, had long noticed Li Dajian's side.
She kept glancing at Cao Yan's every move with the corners of her eyes.
But I found that Cao Yan was staring at him.
She was curious. Isn’t this Cao Sanhuo staring at him like this? Isn’t he afraid of his anger?
With this doubt, she turned her head and looked at Cao Yan.
Seeing Xiang Qinghan turn around and look, Cao Yan showed her a bright smile.
This made her stunned.
I have never encountered this situation before.
In Da Chu, no one can tell me that I am trembling and at least respectful and respectful. But I smiled at myself so much, and I smiled so brightly, but it was the first time I was surprised.
However, after being stunned, Xiang Qinghan also smiled.
He nodded slightly at Cao Yan.
This kid's courage is indeed like the rumor, and he is really great!
...
The jade chariot walked away.
Li Dajian raised his head and smiled and said, "Let's go."
Upon hearing this, Cao Yan wanted to follow the team forward.
But Li Dajian stopped him: "You can ride a carriage!"
"Ah?" Cao Yan realized that he had made a big mistake before, and he thought he was going to walk and follow him.
The two got on the carriage again and were merged into the team behind.
The convoy behind was full of convoys of princes and ministers.
The place where the two of them were inserted was in front of the team.
This is also based on identity.
...
The martial arts craftsmanship mainly tests weightlifting, riding and shooting, step shooting, and horse rifle techniques;
In addition, there are also requirements for the candidate's appearance, and "the torso is majestic and can be a general."
During the Great Chu period, it was stipulated that the military exercises should not only have force, but also "deputy strategy", asking Sun Wu's military strategy, etc.
However, Dachu has two requirements for the strategies of martial arts students.
That is, the strategy of high force is almost the only choice to be a single-handed general. After all, Xiang Yu, the ancestor of the Xiang family, is such a number of people.
If you have a strong strategy, you can be a strategic general.
If you are both powerful, you can take the path of a comprehensive general.
The schoolyard is very wide.
The subjects in this exam are different from those in previous competitions.
First of all, there is no such thing as inserting a gun into a wooden board.
In the past, the results of inserting wooden boards in the state capital would be reported.
The current exam class has become a kill immediately.
