Chapter 1723 Zhao Fengchen's Choice!

Chapter 1723

The entire capital, one hundred thousand forbidden troops, will soon fall into his hands after today's big martial arts competition, and with the more than one hundred thousand soldiers and horses already under control in the frontier, the entire Tang Dynasty is almost in his pocket.

After countless years of forbearance, he finally paid off his ambition and ushered in the most important moment. Since then, no one in the world can stop him.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will arrange everything myself!"

Hou Junji's calm and unhurried voice slowly came from his ears, his gaze was looking at Zhao Fengchen who was on the horseback in the distance, no matter his expression or tone, he was still so calm and confident. Having been famous for decades, there are probably very few people in this world who can shake him.

"From today onwards, Your Highness is preparing to travel thousands of miles and show off your ambitions!"

Hou Junji's voice was neither high nor low, just like casual chatting. But when the eldest prince heard these words, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Since forming an alliance with those people, the most correct thing they did, and the thing that helped them the most, was probably sending the God of War who broke the army to their side.

"Let them begin!"

In an instant, all the people in the East Palace smiled, and turned their heads to look in the direction where Wang Chong and the others were.

Let's see how Wang Chong and the others make their move!

...

In the southern part of the school grounds, the atmosphere was equally tense, but compared to Li Lin and Bai Siling's uneasiness and worry, Wang Chong's expression seemed much calmer.

"Wang Chong, these guys are too despicable. They actually attacked Commander Li and my elder brother. In the final round, they accounted for three out of six people. No matter what, we must stop them!"

Bai Siling said angrily.

Although Bai Siling has a rebellious personality, he is a child of the Bai clan after all. His blood is thicker than water, and he is connected by the same vein. Although Bai Siling has no feelings for most of the members of the family, he is full of admiration for this most outstanding elder brother.

When he was a child, Bai Hanzhou was the idol of Bai Siling and many of his family's children. Now that Bai Hanzhou was assassinated, Bai Siling was naturally very angry.

Wang Chong just nodded and didn't say much.

"It's the last round of the Imperial Army's contest. It's impossible for the First Prince not to make any moves. The only time he has to do something is now. Uncle, you send someone to send a message to Zhao Fengchen, telling him to be careful."

Wang Chong looked at the front and said. Hearing Wang Chong's words, Li Lin and Bai Siling were shocked.

"Chong'er, what do you mean..."

Li Lin said solemnly.

"From just now until now, I have always felt that something is wrong. Everything has gone too smoothly, and it is completely inconsistent with the style of the First Prince and Hou Junji. If something is abnormal, there must be a monster. Anyway, telling Zhao Fengchen will not be wrong."

Wang Chong said in a deep voice.

"Um!"

Li Lin nodded and turned around quickly.

Time passed slowly, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the announcement of the final list one by one.

The starting list is very important and directly determines the final result. At this moment, even Wang Chong is waiting.

"Hou Junji, what exactly do you want to do?"

Wang Chong turned his head slowly and looked in the direction of the East Palace, or more precisely,

It was the mysterious ghost king Hou Junji who was dressed in black.

The ranking of the final round is completely decided by the First Prince. Even Wang Chong cannot interfere in this point. This is the only place where the First Prince can intervene in the competition openly.

"Hoof da da!"

A moment later, amidst the eager anticipation of countless people, a golden Jinwu guard galloped into the center of the school grounds.

"The eldest prince has ordered us to officially announce the ranking of the final round of the Forbidden Army Tournament! In the first round, the leader of the Xuanwu Army, Zhao Fengchen!"

The last three words rumbled like thunder, spreading throughout the entire school grounds.

Hearing this starting list, the vast majority of people have not reacted, let alone understand the meaning, but in the crowd, Wang Chong, Li Lin, Zhao Fengchen, and many aristocratic families who understand the inside story tremble slightly, and can't help but reveal A look of surprise and astonishment.

"What's going on? The list is completely made by the eldest prince. If Duan Zhuyan and Lu Qiongqi are replaced, they can directly challenge the injured Bai Hanzhou and Li Xuanyi, so as to take the positions of the three great commanders into their hands as soon as possible. .Why did you let Zhao Fengchen appear first?"

Li Lin on the side lowered his voice and frowned deeply with his thick eyebrows.

In the Forbidden Army, it is well known that Zhao Fengchen's immediate superior is Li Xuanyi. Zhao Fengchen's ability to take the position of commander so quickly is due to his background and hard work on the one hand, and the promotion of the general commander Li Xuanyi on the other. If Zhao Fengchen were allowed to play, with Li Xuanyi's state, he might take the initiative to admit defeat and give up the position of Grand Commander to Zhao Fengchen.

Not to mention whether Zhao Fengchen will win in the end, this match alone has put him in an extremely favorable position. No matter how you look at it, this is not in the interests of the First Prince.

Wang Chong didn't speak, his eyes were thoughtful.

At the same time, in the distance, Zhao Fengchen and Li Xuanyi also felt something. The two "master and apprentice" glanced at each other, both of them were thoughtful. No matter what, at least this scene, Li Xuanyi was Losing is also losing in the hands of one's favorite general, and can end decently.

"Your Highness, this seems to be a bit disadvantageous to us! If our people are allowed to play first, with Li Xuanyi's current state, it is impossible to resist!"

Wang Chong's people were not the only ones who had the same doubts. In the distance, Shura was covered in heavy Jin Wuwei armor, subconsciously took two steps forward, and whispered in the eldest prince's ear.

"This matter... I have my own claim!"

However, the eldest prince just smiled indifferently, flicked his sleeves, and dismissed Shura with a single sentence.

No matter what the people around the school grounds thought, after the Jinwu guard announced the list of matches, he pulled the reins and quickly turned to leave. A moment later, with a desolate and loud sound of horns, the game began quickly.

According to the rules of the competition, Zhao Fengchen and the other two can challenge any one of the Grand Commanders, and as long as the challenge is successful, they can replace the opponent's position.

"Hoof da da!"

With a crisp sound of horseshoes, in the eyes of countless people, Zhao Fengchen led five hundred elite Xuanwu troops slowly into the arena. At that moment, the entire school grounds could hear needles falling, and even everyone in the East Palace looked at him in unison. come over.

"Master Zhao, have you thought about the opponent you want to challenge?"

With the surging air and the whistling wind, the eunuch in brocade clothes in the center of the school grounds said, his expression was indifferent, and no expression could be seen on his face.

Zhao Fengchen sat on the horse, did not speak, but closed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something. On the opposite side, Huang Tianzhao, Bai Hanzhou, and Li Xuanyi all looked over, everyone waiting for his decision.

"Master Zhao, have you thought about it?"

After a while, the Jinyi eunuch urged.

"Excuse me, father-in-law, I want to challenge this game..."

Zhao Fengchen opened his eyes, and slowly glanced at the three commanders of the imperial guards opposite him.

Huang Tianzhao had a smug smile on his face, as if he was extremely confident in his own strength, while Bai Hanzhou had a stern face, he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart at all, only Li Xuanyi had a gratified smile on his face.

Just when everyone thought that Zhao Fengchen would choose Li Xuanyi in the end, Zhao Fengchen turned his eyes and suddenly looked at Wang Chong, who was standing in the crowd beside the school field.

At that moment, the two quickly exchanged a look, and not many people noticed that Zhao Fengchen's mouth showed a sharp smile.

"I've already made up my mind, this round I want to challenge... Duan Zhuyan!"

As soon as the last three words came out, it was like a huge boulder falling, and the entire western school field suddenly boiled.

"Duan Zhuyan? How could it be Duan Zhuyan?"

"Could it be that Zhao Fengchen wanted to defeat the two of them from the very beginning?"

"What's going on, isn't it logical that he can only challenge three commanders?"

...

All around, there was a din of people and a roar.

It's too abrupt!

No one thought that Zhao Fengchen would run to challenge the other two commanders of the imperial army at this time.

"What the hell is this bastard doing?"

On the north side of the school grounds, the Eldest Prince's expression was extremely ugly. Obviously, Zhao Fengchen's decision was completely different from what he expected.

"Commander Zhao, are you sure?"

At the same time, in the middle of the school grounds, the brocade-clothed eunuch also had an ugly expression.

"Elder-in-law, if I remember correctly, according to the selection rules of the Forbidden Army, only by successfully challenging the Grand Commander can you be promoted and become the new Grand Commander. However, the rules do not prohibit challenging other challengers. On the contrary, If one of the three challengers feels that the others are not qualified to participate in the final challenge, they can fight first and eliminate their opponents."

"Eunuch, let's not mention this rule. As early as decades ago, there was a precedent in the hands of the Holy Emperor. Am I right?"

Zhao Fengchen opened his mouth and said.

"this……"

The eunuch in brocade clothes was stunned, and was speechless immediately.

"Is what Mr. Zhao said true? There are still such rules in the Forbidden Army?"

On the edge of the school grounds, there was a lot of discussion, Zhao Fengchen's voice was so loud that everyone could hear it clearly.

"There is such a rule, but this kind of thing rarely happens."

Among the crowd, a family leader said. Although the rule that Zhao Fengchen said is quite unfamiliar to most people, there are so many aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty, many of whom serve in the Forbidden Army, and they are very familiar with the rules of the Forbidden Army.

There is no rule without rules. The Tang Dynasty has been followed to this day. No matter what it does, there is a complete set of laws. The same is true for the Forbidden Army Tournament. It can only follow the previous generation and cannot be changed without authorization. At least the eldest prince is still the regent. Before he officially inherits the throne , is not eligible to change without authorization.

"Is this what you and Zhao Fengchen discussed in advance?"

At the same time, in the south of the school grounds, Li Lin suddenly understood something, lowered his voice, and whispered in Wang Chong's ear.

Zhao Fengchen is upright by nature, under normal circumstances, he would never think of such a method. From Li Lin's understanding, I am afraid that nine out of ten, it is definitely from his handwriting.

Wang Chong just smiled lightly and did not deny it. Obviously what Li Lin said was not wrong.
