Longtai had some knowledge of Qining's martial arts, and the two had even fought against each other. He knew that although Qining's martial arts was acceptable, it was a world of difference compared to Qu Yanzhi from the Black Blade Camp.
I originally thought of taking this opportunity to rebuild the Black Scale Battalion, with Qi Ning responsible for the preparation and leadership, but I didn't expect that my plan was in vain. I felt a little annoyed. I just felt that I was too young. After holding it in for a long time, I showed a move, but was beaten by the court. The two old foxes in it were easily exploited.
But at this time, he couldn't show his emotions on his face and said calmly: "Does King Huainan also mean this?"
Since it was nothing more than letting Qi Ning take the throne, Long Tai wanted to simply cancel the matter and postpone it later. He saw that Jiang Suiyunwen was very weak and might have some martial arts skills, but he could never be compared with Qu Yanzhi, so he wanted the King of Huainan to object. Use force to decide.
Unexpectedly, the King of Huainan said: "Your Majesty, the method proposed by Marquis Zhongyi is also what I want. Since we are marching to win the commander, we naturally have to show our true abilities. Otherwise, even if the Black Scale Camp is rebuilt in the future, it will be difficult to convince the public."
Marquis Zhongyi said with a smile: "Your Majesty is absolutely right. In this case, let the Emperor make the decision. The three formations will determine the outcome."
"Three formations determine victory or defeat?" Long Tai frowned and asked, "Zhongyihou, which three formations are you talking about?"
"Your Majesty, the selection of the commander of the Black Scale Battalion is a matter of military affairs and not an ordinary martial arts competition." Marquis Zhongyi said: "Since it is a military selection, it is natural that riding and shooting are not required. Therefore, the veteran thought that these three formations competed in boxing, kicking, and military skills respectively. Jin Yihou, Qu Yanzhi and Jiang Suiyun competed in blade kung fu and riding and shooting kung fu. After each battle, the winner will get one point. After three battles, whoever has a higher score will be responsible for the preparation. Command the Black Scale Battalion." He paused and then said, "I wonder what the Emperor thinks of the old minister's method?"
Many ministers present nodded slightly.
In fact, all the ministers present knew that both the Black Scale Battalion and the Black Knife Battalion were combat troops, which focused more on actual combat on the battlefield than on the art of war.
If you are a general who commands an army of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, you will naturally need to be familiar with the art of war and formation. However, the Black Scale Battalion only has a strength of a thousand people. As the leader of this army, your cavalry and archery skills are more important than the art of war.
Marquis Zhongyi proposed three formations, but none of the three formations was a test of military tactics. This was obviously to pave the way for Qu Yanzhi.
Jiang Suiyun was a disciple of Zhuo Qingyang, a great scholar of the time, and his literary talents needless to say. Although the ministers did not know the depth of Qining's literary talents, they were more or less proficient in pen and ink in the Jinyihou Mansion. On the other hand, Qu Yanzhi was He was born in the army and was a brave military general. It would be fine to let him compete with Qin Ning for his literary talent. However, if he competed with Zhuo Qingyang's disciples for military skills and strategy, he would undoubtedly be humiliating himself.
Marquis Zhongyi did not mention the art of war and literary talent, just waiting to let Qu Yanzhi avoid his weaknesses.
Some people thought that since the King of Huainan obviously wanted to recommend Jiang Suiyun, it was naturally impossible for him to exploit his weaknesses and avoid his strengths, and he would inevitably have to argue with Marquis Zhongyi.
Unexpectedly, the King of Huainan laughed and said: "The three formations mentioned by the Marquis are suitable for military competition. If we can win among these three formations, we will definitely win the support of the soldiers. Well, since the Marquis has come up with such a good way to compete." Come on, this king also greatly agrees."
This was unexpected by many ministers. They wondered why King Huainan didn't have any dispute. Could it be that he wanted to give up the position of commander of the Black Scale Battalion to Qu Yanzhi
Some people looked at Jiang Suiyun and wondered whether this young man was hiding something secret. However, looking at his gentle manner and fair skin, he was obviously used to being pampered and had no desire to practice martial arts. Compared to Jinyi Hou Qining, Qining looked more like someone who had practiced martial arts. a few days.
Longtai didn't expect that the King of Huainan and Marquis Zhongyi had the same opinion today at the critical moment. He couldn't find a reason to take back his life. He felt a little annoyed, but he could only smile and said: "In this case, let's follow Marquis Zhongyi's method." Do it, let the three of them compete. Jin Yihou is the blood of the general, Qu Yanzhi is the deputy commander of the Black Blade Battalion, Jiang Suiyun is Zhuo Qingyang’s disciple, no matter who of the three of you wins, I will name him The commander of the Black Scale Camp is responsible for preparing for the establishment of the Black Scale Camp." After a pause, he said: "I have decided to compete at the Tiger God Camp martial arts training ground in three days!"
Marquis Zhongyi was the first to bow and said: "Your Majesty is wise!" All the ministers praised him as wise.
After coming out of the palace, Qining was about to mount his horse when he heard Ximen Wuhen's voice from behind: "Master Hou, go slowly!"
Qi Ning turned around and saw Ximen Wuhen walking over. Before he could speak, Ximen Wuhen smiled and said, "Master Marquis, I'm here to apologize to you."
"apologize?"
Ximen Wuhen said: "The Marquis was kidnapped in the Shenhou Mansion. It was because the Shenhou Mansion did not protect him well. Fortunately, the Marquis came back safe and sound. It is indeed a lucky man."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "Marquis Shen, if it weren't for the fact that Ji Ren has his own destiny, I would have been torn into pieces by now."
"In short, our Shenhou Mansion is not well-protected. I am here to apologize to the Marquis." Ximen Wuhen also heard a hint of dissatisfaction in Qining's tone, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, the Shenhou Mansion will not let this matter go. , after Zhan Ying returned home, he had already said that the person who broke into the Shenhou Mansion and kidnapped the Marquis was none other than Jiuxi Poison King Zhu Qianyi. I have sent people to Xichuan first to find out where Zhu Qianyi was. We will be here soon. Send men to Xichuan to capture Zhu Qianyi. Once Zhu Qianyi is captured, he will definitely report it to the Marquis, who will also let the Marquis vent his anger."
Qi Ning smiled lightly and said: "Does the Lord Shen know that letting the tiger return to the mountain will cause endless troubles? It is easy for the swing to return to Xichuan, but it is also the tiger returning to the mountain. If you want to capture it again, it will not be easy."
"Let the tiger return to the mountain?" Ximen Wuhen said with a smile: "What the Marquis said is wrong. I did not let the tiger return to the mountain. If it hadn't been for him holding the Marquis hostage that day, I would have captured him."
Qi Ning nodded and said, "I said something wrong. Don't blame me Lord God."
"How dare you, how dare you. This time Zhan Ying can come back safely, all thanks to the help of the Marquis." Ximen Wuhen sighed: "After Zhan Ying returned, she repeatedly mentioned the Marquis's life-saving grace to her. This kindness of the Marquis, I Keep this in mind, and if you have the chance, you will definitely repay me."
Qi Ning was about to speak when he heard the laughter of King Huainan. Then he heard King Huainan's voice coming from behind: "The Lord God proposed to use force to decide the matter today. It is really brilliant. I admire him very much."
As he spoke, King Huainan and others had already arrived, and Jiang Suiyun followed King Huainan with a calm and elegant temperament.
Ximen Wuhen smiled and said: "The prince is joking. I am just a martial artist. When encountering a problem, I will inevitably think of using force to solve it. I just said it casually, but I didn't expect to use it. I'm really ashamed."
King Huainan smiled heartily again, looked at Qining, and said: "Marquis Jinyi, you are the blood of the general. Both the old marquis and the general were the pillars of our great Chu. This time, I am the commander of the Black Scale Battalion. The king still hopes that you can finally win the championship, not only inheriting the title of the general, but also inheriting the heavy responsibility left by the general." At this point, he looked emotional, "Perhaps many years later, the Marquis will also be my great prince. Indispensable pillars and beams.”
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, I am just joining in the fun of competing for the position of commander." Qi Ning said with a smile: "In terms of martial arts, Deputy Commander Qu Yanzhi's martial arts must be far superior to mine, let alone boxing and kicking skills. As for riding and archery skills, I still don’t know how to draw a bow while riding on a horse...!" He shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "If it’s a thesis, Mr. Jiang is a disciple of Mr. Zhuo and has outstanding literary talent, which I can’t compare with. ...!" As if he didn't want to say any more, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Shen, gentlemen, I'm feeling a little unwell, so I can only... I can only say goodbye first." He got on his horse and left quickly.
Ximen Wuhen also said goodbye and left. After Ximen Wuhen left, Dou Kui, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood next to him and sneered: "The boy named Qi is a little unwell? Hehe, I think he is timid before fighting. He is really When the Black Scale Camp’s surname is Qi, he should be led by his surname Qi.”
King Huainan put his hands behind his back, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Master Dou, please don't say that. The Black Scale Camp was created and trained by General Qi. To be honest, although it is said to be the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, it would not have been possible without Qi Qi. Jing's order, can the imperial court really mobilize the Black Scale Camp?" He raised his hand to stroke his beard, glanced back, and said with a smile: "Just like the Black Blade Camp today, if there is no order from Marquis Zhongyi, I am afraid that even the emperor's decree will not be fulfilled. You can’t mobilize every single soldier of the Black Knife Battalion, right?”
"Your Majesty, this time Marquis Zhongyi recommended Qu Yanzhi from the Black Blade Battalion. He is bound to win the position of commander of the Black Scale Battalion." Dou Kui said, "Qu Yanzhi's martial arts are already excellent. I heard that he practices I have acquired a sword technique, called the Five Extremes Sword Technique. I have never met an opponent so far. Prince, Marquis Zhongyi brought out Qu Yanzhi, Mr. Jiang...!" He didn't go on, but the meaning was understood by everyone present. .
The King of Huainan looked at Jiang Suiyun and said: "Jiang Suiyun, the opportunity has been won for you. Whether you can win the leadership position depends on your own ability. Lord Dou is right, everyone in the Black Blade Camp is He is an elite selected from a thousand, and he can take the position of commander of the Black Knife Battalion. His skills are not weak, do you have a way to deal with it?"
"Your Majesty, since I have the opportunity, Suiyun will definitely go all out." Jiang Suiyun said respectfully: "Suiyun has also heard of Qu Yanzhi's name. He is indeed a strong enemy. At this point, Suiyun can only work hard. Give it a try."
The King of Huainan stroked his beard and smiled, patting Jiang Suiyun on the shoulder without saying much.
After returning to the Hou Mansion from the palace, Qi Ning was not in a very happy mood. After thinking for a moment, he asked someone to ask where Gu Qinghan was. Knowing that Gu Qinghan was at the accounting room, he hesitated for a moment and hurried to the accounting room.
There are hundreds of people in the Hou Mansion, not to mention others, just eating, drinking and eating for hundreds of people is a big deal every day.
Gu Qinghan spends half of his time in the accounting office every month, so he has a dedicated room. No one dares to disturb him without instructions.
After that night, Qining didn't see Gu Qinghan, but it was because he was really busy these two days and couldn't take care of it. In addition, he felt a little embarrassed and couldn't see him. Gu Qinghan obviously avoided it intentionally. Every time he came back in the past, even if it was very Gu Qinghan would wait in the lobby every night. When he came back from Mrs. Tian last night, it was not too late, but Gu Qinghan went to bed early.
When I arrived at Gu Qinghan's house, I saw that the door was ajar, not closed, leaving a gap. The weather today was not very good and a bit gloomy, so a lamp was still lit in the house. Qining stood lightly at the door. In front of me, I looked in through the crack in the door. Through the light, I could clearly see that Gu Qinghan was leaning in front of the case, writing quickly, with a lock of thick hair hanging from the small, white and smooth forehead. There was a slight moisture on the temples, and on the cheeks. Some hair sticks.
Her posture is graceful, the lines of her snowy arms, her smooth and shiny skin, and her plump and round breasts form a devilishly alluring figure.
The lower edge of the heavy breasts was wrapped in brocade gauze, and was gently placed on the table by the owner, as if to reduce the heavy burden caused by the breasts on the shoulders and back. The plump and plump breasts were held up by the hard ebony table board. When squeezed, two round and proud balls rose up on the upper edge of the plump breasts, which seemed to overflow from the collar. The shape became fuller and prouder, and the milk quality was both soft and firm.
Qi Ning stood outside the door. For some reason, when he saw the mature and beautiful Gu Qinghan, he felt that his heartbeat was much stronger than before.
He thought that his psychological quality was extremely good, but when facing Gu Qinghan, he always felt an indescribable special feeling.
He didn't speak, but Gu Qinghan felt a figure outside the door blocking the light coming from the crack of the door. He raised his head slightly and frowned: "Who is outside?"
