The First Tyrant of Daxia

Qin Yun was dissatisfied and said coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Liu Ziyi's face turned pale, and he clasped his hands and said, "I dare not."

Qin Yun looked at him with disdain and reprimanded him in public: "The competition begins as soon as the drum sounds. Is this a sneak attack?"

"Your son underestimated the enemy and suffered a small loss. Who can you blame? Sir Liu, did your mouth heal too quickly from the injury last time and you forgot the pain?"

Hearing this, Liu Ziyi's face turned ugly, as if he had eaten shit. Especially when there were some subtle laughs from the crowd of officials, he felt even more ashamed.

Qin Yun ignored the old man and focused on watching the competition.

The two of them were fighting fiercely, and it seemed like they were evenly matched and the fight was getting intense.

Liu Mang had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He flew up into the air, and his legs drew a sharp arc and smashed hard into Yan Zhong's neck.

With a bang! Yan Zhong put his hands together to block the kick, and his legs stood on the ground like stone pillars, motionless.

At this time, Liu Mang finally put away his contempt, because Yan Zhong's power was far greater than his.

He glanced sideways and saw the weapon on the rack, then he pulled away and grabbed a spear!

In martial arts competitions, weapons may be used freely, but they cannot harm lives.

Yan Zhong roared, a gleam of bravery in his eyes, and rushed out, using the Mountain-Hugging Seal and slamming his shoulder into Liu Mang's chest at the fastest speed.

boom!

Liu Mang felt a sharp pain in his chest. He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground in a mess. He almost fell out of the competition area.

Seeing this, Qin Yun smiled with relief and looked at Wang Wei and the other person standing beside him.

The two of them looked unhappy, their brows furrowed, and they were already starting to get a little worried.

"Your Majesty, this boy was born with supernatural powers. Liu Mang is not well-trained and will lose." Old Feng whispered in his ear at this time. His cloudy eyes were full of wisdom and he had seen through the strengths and weaknesses of the two men.

Qin Yun was in a good mood, and said to Wang Wei and the others with a smile: "Hahaha, my two beloved ministers, it seems that you are the ones who made a mistake!"

"Your Majesty, the competition has not yet ended, and it is still uncertain who will win or lose." Wang Wei replied with a gloomy face.

The voice just fell.

Then he slapped him in the face!

In the field, Liu Mang stabbed at Yan Zhong with a silver spear, but Yan Zhong caught him unexpectedly. Yan Zhong swung the spear violently, but Liu Mang did not have enough strength and was thrown heavily to the ground.

"what!"

Liu Mang screamed, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and looked in a miserable state.

Xiao Jian, who was beside Qin Yun, smiled and said sarcastically, "Haha, Master Liu, didn't you just say that your young master could win even if he gave up one hand?"

"Hurry up and tell Master Liu not to give in. If he does, he will lose!"

Pfft!

Qin Yun couldn't hold back and laughed.

Liu Ziyi's face turned blue and white, looking extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and snorted coldly at Xiao Jian.

In the arena, Liu Mang stood up, his eyes full of cruelty and hatred. All the civil and military officials were looking at him. If he lost to a country boy, his father would probably not even look at him when he returned.

When he thrust out the spear, he actually had a dagger hidden in his left hand. With a cold glow, he slashed towards Yan Zhong's neck!

This is murderous intention!

"Huh?" Qin Yun stood up suddenly and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

"How brave!"

Yan Zhong roared loudly and was so brave that he did not block the spear and dagger. Instead, he punched Liu Mang hard in the chest.

boom!

Liu Mang's body flew backwards for several meters like a kite with a broken string, knocking over a number of knife racks before he vomited blood and became unable to get up.

On the other side, Yan Zhong dodged the spear and the dagger only scratched his skin a little. He looked very relaxed.

"Ha ha!"

Qin Yun stood up and laughed, feeling extremely happy!

He had never expected that Yan Zhong would have such skills, coupled with his extraordinary character, he really had found a treasure.

"I am from Zhuo County, Yunzhou, Yan Zhongsheng!"

With the examiner's shout, Liu Mang was completely defeated.

Wang Wei and Liu Ziyi's faces looked like they had eaten shit, like a fishbone stuck in their throats!

How could Liu Mang lose to a country bumpkin?! They were angry and full of regret!

Qin Yun smiled and looked at the two of them, teasing them: "My dear ministers, this country bumpkin has defeated Young Master Liu. Do you have anything else to say?"

Wang Wei and the other man gritted their teeth, feeling ashamed.

The more confident you were just now, the more embarrassed you feel now.

When Wang Wei thought about putting shoes on this countryman, he felt like running away. How could he accept such a bet? Now that he had lost the bet, who dared not to abide by the rules of the bet with His Majesty?

"..."

The competition at the Shifang Martial Arts Arena is still going on.

Three thousand people advance one thousand, one thousand people advance one hundred, and one hundred people advance ten.

Finally, ten people decided the top three positions.

The competition events, including martial arts, archery, horse riding, etc., are now in full swing.

As several rounds of eliminations in the martial arts examinations passed, Qin Yun was surprised to find that among so many children of nobles, a few children from poor families fought hard and broke through the siege.

Some rural youths even put in outstanding performances.

The man named Kou Tianxiong was a hunter. He was an extremely accurate archer and was better than many generals!

And there was Yan Zhong, who had no rival for him and swept everyone away.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yan Zhong was the one with the strongest fighting power. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely be the number one martial arts champion.

It really isn’t that kids from poor families are incapable, it’s that they just don’t have the opportunity.

Qin Yun was thinking, since the martial arts examination was being held, the imperial examination must also be held.

Since the death of Lin Changshu, the position of prime minister has been vacant. Only military generals can pacify the world, and only civil officials can govern the country!

……

Two hours later, the sun gradually set.

With the final duel, Kou Tianxiong was defeated by Yan Zhong, and the martial arts examination came to an end.

Qin Yun immediately asked Eunuch Xi to read the imperial edict. In the martial arts arena below, more than a thousand people knelt down in silence.

"It is destined to be carried by heaven, the emperor decreed."

"On August 12, the military examination was a success. I am very happy."

"Appoint the top martial arts champion Yan Zhong as the general of the Azure Dragon Guard, give him a third-rank official rank, and grant him a residence in the imperial capital..."

"Appoint the second-place winner Kou Tianxiong as the deputy general of the Azure Dragon Guard, a rank of fourth grade, and grant..."

"Appoint the third-place winner Yuan Chengshu as a fourth-rank commander..."

"Select Fan Lin, Zhang Yun, Wan Xiao and ten others, appoint them as fifth-rank lieutenants, and send them to the Imperial Army to study and serve the court in the future."

"..."

Once the decree is announced, the matter is settled.

All of them were promoted through hard work, there is nothing wrong with their performance. Even if the sons of some ministers in the court did not get good results, there is nothing to say.

The common people dispersed with a lingering feeling, and many young people who failed in the election hung their heads in dejection and wiped away their tears secretly.

If I miss the martial arts examination this time, I may not be able to take it next time.

Qin Yun gave Zhao Heng a wink, and the latter understood what he meant. He quietly left the Shifang martial arts field and took his men to stop some poor students who failed the exam.

Although their academic performance is not good, they can definitely be absorbed into the imperial court and serve the country loyally, which is much better than those aristocrats who just eat and wait for death and are arrogant and conceited.

"Master Wang, Master Liu, have you two forgotten something?"

Qin Yun suddenly smiled and glanced at him.

Wang Wei and Liu Ziyi looked unhappy and sat there without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang and Lord Liu are important ministers of the court. Giving shoes to a commoner will undermine the dignity of the court!" A third-rank minister stepped forward and advised.

"Get lost! You must accept the defeat. How can a minister of the Great Xia Dynasty go back on his word?" Qin Yun glared at the official.

The latter shrank his neck and retreated immediately.

Seeing this, Wang Wei also understood that His Majesty was determined to embarrass him.

He gritted his teeth, stood up, and bowed: "Your Majesty, I am willing to accept the defeat!"

With a stiff expression, he turned around and walked down the platform, taking the specially made "Liuyun Combat Boots" from the imperial guards. That was the armor set of the general of the Azure Dragon Guard.

"General Yan, I lost the bet, so I'll put on your shoes."

Hearing this, Yan Zhong felt very embarrassed and a little uneasy.

The Minister of Revenue puts shoes on a commoner like himself? That's ridiculous.

He didn't dare to accept it, but seeing Qin Yun's eyes, he had no choice but to accept it.

Liu Ziyi also walked down, his steps were slow, his eyes were extremely embarrassed! But he didn't dare to regret it, otherwise he would anger His Majesty and suffer even more.

You have to eat your own shit!

In this way, the two of them squatted down and changed Yan Zhong's shoes in front of all the officials and many people.

"Tsk tsk, that's the Minister of Revenue, Lord Wang Wei, who is in charge of the treasury and grain of the country, and he actually gave shoes to the top martial arts scholar?"

"Too cruel! I heard that he lost a bet with His Majesty!"

"You are a disgrace to scholars. You are a country bumpkin who wears shoes for them. You will be infamous forever!"

"Hush, that's the martial arts champion and the current general of the Qinglong Guard!"
