A special forces soldier traveled through time and space to become a genius of literature and martia

The sixth day of the first lunar month in the thirty-third year of the Kangren period.

Today is the first court meeting after the New Year. Although Yuan Ying doesn't want to go to court, she has to come.

At court!

Each department reported on the work to be carried out in the new year.

When it was Yuan Ying's turn to report, she stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has an important matter this year, which is the preparation for the trade with neighboring countries. The Ministry of Revenue will notify the merchants in the interior to purchase a large amount of tea, cloth, fine salt, etc. to go to the south of the desert to trade wool."

"Your Majesty, trade is extremely important. It is related to whether our Great Xia border can be stable. It is better to resolve the needs of both parties in a peaceful way than to go to war!"

The benefits of inter-country trade can be said to have far-reaching impacts in many aspects. First, it greatly promotes the circulation of goods and materials, enables the sharing of specialties and resources among countries, greatly enriches people's lives, and promotes the prosperity and development of local economies.

Secondly, as an important form of diplomacy, mutual trade helps to enhance mutual understanding and friendship among countries, reduce misunderstandings and conflicts, and lay a solid foundation for a peaceful and stable international environment.

Furthermore, through mutual trade, countries can learn from each other's advanced technology and management experience, thereby accelerating their own social progress and cultural development.

In addition, the trade also promoted cultural exchange and integration, allowing the thoughts, arts, customs, etc. of different civilizations to penetrate and influence each other, enriching the cultural treasure house of the people. "

Yuan Ying slowly enumerated the benefits of the trade, and his words showed his deep consideration. Upon hearing this, Emperor Kang Ren was pleased and said happily: "Your Excellency Yuan is right. I will leave this matter to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace and wisdom!" Yuan Ying bowed and expressed his gratitude sincerely.

At this time, the Southwest General stepped out and praised: "Lord Yuan is truly a talented young man, and he is admirable." After that, he changed the subject and asked Emperor Kang Ren: "Your Majesty, I heard that Lord Yuan Ying is both civil and military, and his literary talent has impressed me. I wonder if I can have the honor of witnessing his military strategy and learning from Lord Yuan?"

As soon as Yuan Ying heard this, he was shocked: This old man was the grandson who was staring at him during the sacrifice. He must have been holding back his fart.

Emperor Kang Ren laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "The Southwest General is indeed fond of martial arts. In this case, my dear Yuan, please fulfill the general's love of learning."

Yuan Ying raised his lips slightly and replied, "Since the general is so interested, I will accompany you. But swords are ruthless, so I hope the general will be more careful."

Murong Xuanyi's heart tightened. The Southwest General was the cousin of the Imperial Concubine. He must have done this to vent his anger on the former Minister of Works, Lord Li.

The Southwest General looked displeased and retorted: "It is too early for you to say that, Lord Yuan. The victory or defeat has not yet been decided. Why bother to say more?"

Yuan Ying was too lazy to argue with him and said directly: "General, what do you want to learn from me? I will definitely be happy to teach you."

The Southwestern General was so angry that he laughed and said, "Then let's compete in riding and archery first, and then talk about martial arts!" He secretly cursed Yuan Ying for his arrogance in his heart. Humph, he will definitely beat him to a pulp later.

Murong Xuanyi shook his head slightly, signaling Yuan Ying to be cautious, after all, the Southwest General's riding and archery skills were unrivaled. But Yuan Ying responded with a smile, signaling that he didn't need to worry.

Yuan Ying said calmly: "Okay!"

Then everyone followed them to the open space outside the temple. The sun shone on the empty square in front of the temple, and the breeze blew gently, bringing the coolness and vitality of early spring.

The guards quickly set up the shooting range. Two horses were led aside. Exquisite quivers were hung on the saddles, and the arrows flashed coldly in the sun.

The Southwest General mounted his warhorse, his posture vigorous, his eyes revealing a bit of disdain and confidence. He turned his head to look at Yuan Ying, full of provocation. But Yuan Ying seemed calm and unhurried, she slowly walked to the horse prepared at the side, her movements graceful, as if this was not a competition, but an ordinary horseback outing.

Following the order, the two men rode out at the same time, galloping towards the bull's eye in the distance. With many years of experience in the battlefield, the Southwest General shot his arrows accurately, and each arrow landed precisely on the bull's eye, drawing cheers.

However, Yuan Ying pulled the bow, although she did not shoot an arrow, but their special forces' shooting skills were so accurate. Not to be outdone, she casually pulled the bow and shot the first arrow, which did not hit the bull's eye. This time she was just testing the strength.

Murong Xuanyi was worried about Yuan Ying. He knew that Yuan Ying was a good rider, but he didn't know how good she was at archery.

The Southwest General smiled sarcastically. He was very proud of himself, thinking that he would definitely win.

But he was dumbfounded after the next two shots. He saw Yuan Ying nocked two arrows at once, still casually but with each arrow as if calculated, his accuracy was no less than that of the general.

Two arrows were fired at the same time, and each arrow hit the bull's eye.

The Southwest General was horrified when he saw this, and tried his best to display all kinds of exquisite moves. However, Yuan Ying seemed to be able to move around his offensive with ease, always able to resolve the opponent's attack at the lowest cost and find opportunities to counterattack.

She smiled and said to the Southwest General: "General, do you know that the enemies on the battlefield are not dead targets? This kind of competition is a bit boring. How about we increase the difficulty?"

The Southwestern General snorted coldly and asked, "What is a difficult competition?"

Yuan Ying smiled and said, "How about blindfolded archery? Whoever hits the target wins!" Everyone was shocked when he said this.

The Southwest General sneered: "Blindfolded and shooting arrows? You are too arrogant!"

Yuan Ying asked Emperor Kang Ren nonchalantly, "Your Majesty, could you give me an apple for the competition?"

Emperor Kang Ren was also stunned by his courage, and immediately agreed and ordered someone to bring apples.

Yuan Ying took the apple and handed it to the Southwest General, saying, "General, please toss the apple for me." After that, she took the blindfold and covered her eyes.

The Southwest General threw the apple into the air. The apple was spinning rapidly in the air. Yuan Ying drew his bow and shot the arrow without hesitation. The arrow shot out like a meteor. Everyone held their breath and followed the arrow closely.

In the blink of an eye, the arrow hit the apple accurately, and the apple exploded instantly, splashing juice everywhere.

Everyone present was amazed, even Emperor Kang Ren widened his eyes and couldn't help clapping and cheering.

The Southwest General was stunned and couldn't believe what he saw. Yuan Ying smiled and took off his blindfold, raised his eyebrows and said to the Southwest General: "On a real battlefield, the heart is the eyes and the ears are the eyes."

Humph! Their special forces' blindfolded shooting is just a trivial skill.

The face of the Southwest General turned pale and blue. He knew that he had lost to the seemingly weak Lord Yuan in horseback archery. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he had to admire the other party's strength. He said in a deep voice: "Lord Yuan is indeed worthy of his reputation. His horseback archery skills are amazing. However, the martial arts competition has not yet begun, and the outcome between you and me is still unknown."

Yuan Ying smiled and replied calmly: "General, you are right. We should go all out in a martial arts exchange. However, swords are merciless, so I hope you will be careful."

Seeing this, Emperor Kang Ren admired Yuan Ying even more. He waved his hand and said, "Okay! My two beloved ministers, now that you have made the decision, make preparations quickly. Let me and the others witness this wonderful martial arts duel together."

The guards quickly cleared a space for the martial arts competition. Yuan Ying and the Southwest General stood still, with upright figures and sharp eyes, like two statues ready to strike.

Following Emperor Kang Ren's order, the two men moved at the same time, rushing towards each other like two lightning bolts. With years of battlefield experience, the Southwest General's moves were fierce and precise, and every punch and kick was accompanied by a strong gust of wind. Yuan Ying showed her agility and flexibility as a special forces soldier, her body was erratic, sometimes dodging, sometimes counterattacking, and every move was just right, making it difficult for the Southwest General to predict.

The two fought back and forth, and it was difficult to tell who was better. The officials and guards around were overwhelmed and cheered for the wonderful duel between the two. However, as time went on, the Southwest General gradually felt exhausted, while Yuan Ying was still energetic and his offensive became more and more fierce.

Finally, in a fierce battle, Yuan Ying cleverly used a fake move to deceive the Southwest General, and then a fierce side kick hit his waist and abdomen. The Southwest General felt a huge force coming, and his body flew out involuntarily and fell heavily to the ground.

The whole place was silent, and everyone held their breath. After a moment, Emperor Kang Ren was the first to applaud, praising: "Good! Your Excellency Yuan is a master of martial arts, and you are a blessing to our Great Xia!"

Only when Murong Xuanyi got here did he finally relax.

Yuan Ying withdrew his attack, stepped forward to help the Southwest General up, and said with a smile: "General, I will give you the upper hand."

The Southwest General dusted himself off and said with a hearty laugh, "Sir Yuan is indeed a man of great potential! I, Li Yongjun, admire you very much!"

Although the Southwest General said this, he was thinking about how to avenge the arrow. He knew that Yuan Ying was now highly valued by the emperor. If he was not eliminated, he would become a big trouble in the future.
