Chapter 23 The Childless Emperor 22

As the country was at war and needed to resist foreign enemies, Yuwen Ze made a prompt decision to hold a military examination to select talents.

Once the decree on the military examination was issued, the whole country was in an uproar, and candidates from all over the country rushed to the capital to wait for the examination.

In the residence of Duke Pingyang, on the martial arts training ground.

I saw two figures dressed in black and white, holding long swords, fighting back and forth, with sword shadows intertwined, and it was difficult to tell who would win. It was very lively.

The two swords were like dragons emerging from the sea or snakes emerging from caves, crossing and dancing, making crisp metallic sounds when they collided with each other. The light on the blades flickered, and each strike was like a tiger descending from the mountain, majestic and merciless.

In an instant, the man in black soared into the air like a roc spreading its wings, spinning in the air and creating a dazzling curtain of light, like stars falling from the sky. The man in white was not to be outdone, and quickly stepped back half a step, raising his sword to meet the blow. The two swords crossed again, sparks flying...

After a while, the two separated, and the white-clothed man's clothes on his chest were cut by the sword, and the black-clothed man's sleeves were missing.

The man in black was Su Lie, the second son of the Su family, and the man in white was Yuwen Ze's imperial guard, Wu Fei, who was also the master Yuwen Ze found for Su Lie.

"Brother Wu, I'm sorry for offending you!" Su Lie made a sword flower and put away the sword in a graceful manner.

"That's fine! Brother Su is even better! Brother Su will definitely get what he wants in this martial arts exam!"

"I have to thank the master for his guidance!" Su Lie said jokingly, without any modesty. He participated in the martial arts examination this time just to win the championship.

"Hahaha, Brother Su, we agreed to be friends as peers. What's the point of talking about master or not? If Brother Su hadn't started learning martial arts late, I'm afraid you would have defeated me a lot earlier."

Time flies and the martial arts examination is just around the corner.

The subjects of this military examination are mainly divided into flat shooting and military examination.

The evaluation standard for the flat shooting is: "In the long-range shooting test, ten out of ten shots hit the target. The longer the distance, the higher the score. The top ten with the best scores will be scored.

The martial arts examination consists of five categories: horseback archery, horse spear, physical appearance, strategy, and talent. The evaluation criteria are different, and the top ten in each category are selected and scored one point. The more points, the higher the ranking.

Finally, the martial arts championship competition requires qualified candidates to sign up voluntarily and compete in martial arts to win.

Su Lie was extremely brave. He passed three levels, killed six generals, and ranked among the best in all items, shocking everyone!

Yilan Palace

"Hahaha, master, you didn't see it. The second young master Su was so brave. In the first round, he told the examiner that he would go to the longest distance without any ambiguity. He hit all ten shots and directly got a point!" The little eunuch Xiao Lizi was vividly describing the grand scene of the martial arts examination to Su Yun.

"Besides Second Young Master Su, the most dazzling person on the field is the Second Young Master of the Ministry of War, Young Master Wu Yu. He is Second Young Master Su's fiercest rival. In all the competitions so far, either Young Master Lie or Young Master Yu has won first place. Everyone is guessing which of the two will win the final championship!"

"Really? My second brother is really that awesome!" Su Yun couldn't stop laughing after hearing that.

"That's right, the Second Young Master is extremely powerful and handsome! I heard that many girls threw flowers and handkerchiefs to the Second Young Master..."

"Hahaha, did he answer it?"

"That's not the case! I guess the Second Young Master didn't even notice those girls! He was so cold."

"The Queen is here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here!!"

"What are they talking about? They look so happy!" The Queen led the Crown Prince Yuwen Che to Yilan Palace.

"Oh, Che'er is here! Give him a hug, mother!" Su Yun smiled as she took the chubby Yuwen Che from Qiu Shui's hands.

"Your Highness, we are talking about my second brother participating in the martial arts exam!"

"Look, the other day I sent a young eunuch to watch the military examination, and now he is imitating me!"

"That's a great event! I heard that Yun Fei's second brother is the favorite to win the championship! He is so brave!"

"Of course, our Che'er will also practice martial arts well in the future, and compete with his second uncle when he grows up! Right!"

Su Yun was teasing Yuwen Che, but the little prince seemed to understand and waved his hand, "Compare, compare with...uncle!"

"Hahaha, our Che'er is so arrogant! He is so ambitious. We will compete with our uncle in the future!" The Queen was amused by her standing by!

"Your Highness has come at the right time today. I was going to look for you later."

"The craftsman here has brought Che'er's new toys!"

After careful work by the craftsmen, the Lu Ban Lock was finally completed and delivered.

The Luban lock is a kind of lock that does not use nails and ropes. It is completely supported by its own structural connection. The mortise and tenon structure is assembled with wooden strips to form various shapes and animals.

This time, the craftsmen sent not only the ordinary spherical shapes, but also the dragon swinging its tail, the Eighteen Arhats, the lilac flowers, the three-way, the lock in the cage, the twenty-four locks, the treasure in the cage, and other styles.

There are also more complicated models of the twelve zodiac animals, which are vivid and lifelike.

Hongxiu took out the Luban locks and placed them in front of Yuwen Che one by one. As soon as Yuwen Che saw them, he grabbed the ball-shaped one.

"Che'er, do you like this? Mother will teach you how to play it, okay?"

As he spoke, Su Yun took the spherical Lu Ban lock, and then fumbled to find a rotating axis, then rotated the axis and pulled out the movable wooden strips. Slowly, one by one, the entire sphere was dismembered into various small wooden strips.

Yuwen Che looked at Su Yun's movements curiously. Other people like the Queen, Hongxiu Qiushui and other palace maids and eunuchs also stared at Su Yun's movements closely. They had never seen this thing before.

There were 12 small wooden strips in total, which Su Yun simply divided into six groups in pairs. He first took the main component of a hemisphere in his hand, and then Su Yun symmetrically inserted the other relative components into the grooves one by one. Slowly, a magical thing happened. The 12 wooden strips once again formed a sphere without any gaps!

Yuwen Che's eyes lit up when he saw this, and Su Yun asked with a smile, "Did Che learn it?"

Yuwen Che climbed forward excitedly, took the ball from Su Yun's hand, shook it, switched it to see if it was still broken, and then imitated Su Yun and fumbled around.

Suddenly, he seemed to have really touched something, and saw a wooden stick falling down.

"Wow, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so amazing!!!" Hong Xiu's eyes almost popped out of her head! She was just confused, she never thought that the Crown Prince had learned it at such a young age?

In a short while, the entire sphere was dismembered into twelve wooden strips.

The palace maids watching on the side were all amazed! Su Yun and the queen looked at each other, and Su Yun also saw shock in the queen's eyes.

Then, something even more magical happened.

Yu Wen Che imitated what Su Yun had just done. He first divided the wooden sticks into six groups according to different categories, and then followed Su Yun's steps to assemble them one by one until the last one was inserted, and it was restored to a sphere again!

This time, Su Yun was shocked! Her son, is he so smart? He learned it in one go...
