Chapter 30 The Secret Land
While His Majesty was meditating, the woman in purple suddenly added, "General Su is naturally a genius, but it seems to be a little too much to bring her on such an occasion."
The emperor shook his head, nodded again, and suddenly smiled and said, "It's nothing. Those who achieve great things are informal. In the poetry competition, he dares to bring an alien. On the contrary, it shows that he is careless. A person who can generously show what should have been hidden will never do small actions behind his back. Man, how can I blame him for such a trivial matter?
The woman in purple smiled and said, "It turns out that the emperor has already made a conclusion. Why do you have to ask me?" She didn't know why. Although the woman was uncomfortable, she couldn't help quietly begging for him at the thought that Su Yong might be involved.
The emperor laughed and said, "Su Yong is extremely strange. I don't know where so many strange things come from that even I can't see through him. If it is amazing that he came back from Yanmengdu City alone, it would be better to say that his performance in the past few days has shocked me even more.
His Majesty the emperor picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. He sighed, "How he uses soldiers and how brave he is is just a legend in the army. I haven't seen it myself. But I have been studying poetry and books since I was a child for more than 40 years now, but his performance on the field in the past few days still makes me amazed and unheard of. This is really what happened under my eyes. I can't help but believe it.
The woman in purple smiled and said, "No wonder your majesty is shocked. He can guess your majesty's thoughts so thoroughly, and no wonder he can win hundreds of battles on the battlefield." If the woman around him is an alien, isn't Su Yong a bigger alien?
"In the fairy's opinion, how is his martial arts?"
"If you really want to fight, it's a little better than Commander Wu. But it's worse than the two big tigers in the border plug. At this moment, Wu Lecheng was not upstairs, and the woman in purple said generously. The two big tigers in the frontier fortress refer to the dragon wing leader Zhan Kuanglan and the phoenix leader Yan Chuanyun.
The emperor sighed: "I haven't seen those two guys for a long time. In the past, with them guarding the most critical north, I can rest assured. But now that the north has been Su Yongping, I want to transfer them back and help the fairies explore the secret place together..."
The woman in purple hurriedly said, "But there are still dwarfs in the east, and the red fan in the west is also staring at it... In my opinion, this matter is very involved, and it's better to wait for the four directions to calm down, and then worry about it."
"Is it really so dangerous?" The emperor frowned again: "In the opinion of you three venerable people, in addition to the three war kings who even have a headache for me, what else do we need to choose together? Er, I can agree with Lian Zhan Kuanglan and Yan Chuanyun. The fairy should trust my sincerity.
The woman in purple wrinkled her beautiful nose and thought for a long time, and suddenly smiled and said, "Since General Su is so good, why don't he go with us after calming the dwarf and Hong Fan? It is said that he is very knowledgeable, which may be more helpful than those two tigers. At that time, the three sides of the east, west and the north have been paced. Your Majesty will arrange the border defenses, and then let the king of the three armies place the three legions to guard around Kyoto, which is naturally as stable as Mount Tai.
"But it will take a while to do this. Although Su Yong can work in the north for a short time, it is on land after all. There are both sea and land on both sides of the east and west, especially the vast sea area of Hongfan. The artillery fire on the other side is much stronger than my Yanlong, and the dwarf Japanese is also extremely fierce. I heard that it is better to cut his abdomen than be a prisoner..." The emperor looked at the midday sunshine passing through by the mantle and gently put down the teacup.
"Maybe General Su has some way." The fairy in purple sighed softly, "Although the east and west are not as fierce as the wild geese in the north, they have always been like cowhide candy. I don't know how long they have been holding back those military kings. If these troubles are not solved as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the crisis in the palace will break out sooner or later. At that time, it will be difficult to compete with Wu Lecheng alone with us."
The emperor walked gently to the window and suddenly turned around and said, "Did you break into the thief last night for the secret place?"
The fairy shook her head blankly: "This matter is extremely secretive. Except for a few people in the palace, it is impossible for others to know it. I guess the thief just happened to enter last night, so we just let him go and let him explore first, so that we also have a bottom line. After all, that man is good.
The emperor nodded, suddenly fixed his paced figure and said in a cold voice, "What if that person is sent by Master Yun?"
The fairy in purple was stunned, and then a trace of murder appeared on her cold face and said, "If he can come out alive, there will naturally be an old monk and a sour scholar watching him. If he can't come out, whose person is not the same? At most, when we set out, we will throw the old master down first.
The emperor's face smiled: "I didn't expect the fairy to be so cruel."
The fairy in purple smiled and bowed to your majesty: "I dare not. Didn't you go to school with the emperor?"
......
The afternoon competition continued. Yun Xiaomeng and Bai Hutang, who had been successfully promoted, Shanzhuzhi and the to be determined Liang Ziyu stood aside, and the eliminated players, including two of the four talents in Jiangnan, have left the stage.
So on the stage, there are only the remaining three Kyoto scholars standing now.
The first scholar went to choose the topic, and as a result, he chose a couplet of "Who has broken this building with one punch?"
It's not too difficult to connect with this, but there are all weak scholars present. It's still a little headache to see such a violent and strange test questions.
Looking at several scholars peeping at each other, His Majesty's face was pale and kept stroking his beard and smiling. It can be seen that he was very satisfied with the effect of his test questions.
After being dumb for a long time, this scholar named Ma Huateng finally exhaled and said, "I'm also writing a bold poem on the top."
Although the couplet is not very neat, it is also a little bold. At present, Liu Guanyu and the two judges shook their heads, while the imperial historian and the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies abstained and did not express their opinions. Only Wang Shu and Su Yong voted for the spirit of the scholar.
The emperor took a look at a few people and thought for a moment, "To be determined."
However, the remaining two people could not pass, so the to be determined Ma Huateng and Liang Ziyu were successfully promoted and entered the top five list with Yun Xiaomeng and others.
Because the emperor is a rare opportunity at the scene, there are not many participants left. At present, everyone discussed it. After the emperor nodded, he arranged the third floor and continued the rest of the finals.
On the third floor, the cloth mantle here has been removed, and the wind is blowing on all sides, which is extremely comfortable. Several talents who climbed to the first floor also felt superior when standing here, and they had some confidence in the next event.
Seeing that everyone was energetic, the host's volume was also a little louder. He shouted with the Xiangzhu loudspeaker upstairs: "Finals, officially - start."
