Chapter 1119 Hero's Ambition
The State of Yue is located to the east of the State of Chu, adjacent to Qiang Chu. You can imagine the future.
However, not far to the east of Yue Kingdom, there is the famous Mugu Academy, which can be regarded as somewhat supportive.
As the saying goes, "ring the bell in the morning and beat the drum in the evening", this is to alert people to clear their mind and study hard.
Among the four major academies in the world, Mugu Academy is the one with the most special significance.
Because this academy stands at the foot of the Confucian holy land [Book Mountain].
Shushan, the Holy Land of Confucianism, and Sanxinggong, the Holy Land of Legalism, are similar in that they are of extremely important significance to the sect’s learning and are equivalent to spiritual symbols.
The difference is that most of the scholars on the mountain of books are bright and poor scholars who only concentrate on their studies. They neither recruit disciples nor participate in the general trend of the world. They even ignore the "trivialities of the world".
The Sanxing Palace is like the integration of Shushan and the four major academies. He himself has no involvement in the world, but he has many disciples from all over the world, and among the three palaces, the Xingren Palace is the most deeply involved in the world.
Let's talk about Bai Yuxia.
This person's strength is definitely not inferior to others, but it's a pity that he is too unlucky.
After several rounds of final selection, I encountered talents who were secretly hiding and just waiting to make a splash.
The nature of it was like meeting Lin Xian when he met Lin Xian, and he met him twice in succession.
In the last round just now, he met Jiang Shaohua from Shen State. With all his cards revealed, he was defeated by Jiang Shaohua in a very targeted manner, thus ending the journey of the Yellow River Meeting.
However, Xian Nankui now nominates Bai Yuxia to take over the main match, which does not mean that he will take advantage of the absence of the top leaders of Chu State to make fun for the people of Chu State.
But among the remaining geniuses, only Bai Yuxia was in relatively good condition.
Chu Ming's opponents were almost beaten to death, and they really had no strength to fight anymore.
Dongguo Bao himself was dying, not to mention the opponents he defeated.
Even if the senior officials of Chu State were present, they couldn't say anything wrong. It is true that only Bai Yuxia is still in good condition to participate in the battle, so he won't have to look for someone from the losers of the previous round.
At this time, there are only three people in the world who are qualified to express their stance on this matter in front of Xian Nankui.
Cao Jie did not express his opinion immediately, but turned to look at Jiang Wang and said slowly: "You have been watching the battle these days. You must be much more familiar with the geniuses on the field than me. What do you think, this white jade from the Yue Kingdom?" Are you worthy of this position?"
Jiang Wang thought for a while and said seriously: "My vision is not enough to make any accurate judgment, nor should I be able to point out the world's heroes. If you have to ask me, I can only say that I personally think he has the qualifications to enter the main competition. Strength."
Cao Jiu looked at Xian Nankui with a smile: "This is the opinion of Qi State."
Xian Nankui did not express any opinions on the overly correct attitude of these two people from Qi State. He just looked at Namodo, the golden-crowned priest of the Mu Kingdom.
Namodo raised his eyelids: "You can give this quota to whoever you want, it doesn't matter. I just want to inform you that the talented person participating in the inner palace of Mu Kingdom has been replaced."
As he spoke, he flicked his finger, and a metal medal shot out quickly, and Xian Nankui caught it in his hand. Then he turned around and left this "stage of the world", which was really simple.
This year's Yellow River Meeting is really full of weird things.
The genius from Jingguo's side immediately withdrew from the battle in the inner palace. On the Muguo side, at the last moment when the main match roster was confirmed, a substitution was suddenly announced.
Xian Nankui looked at the metal medal in his hand, but still didn't say anything. Instead, he turned his attention to Xia Houlie, the commander-in-chief of Jing Kingdom's Xiaoqi.
Xia Houlie lazily leaned on his seat and said: "Brother Cao has said so, so let's leave it at that."
"If everyone has no objections..." Xian Nankui made a formal turn to show fairness and openness, and then said: "Then I announce that Bai Yuxia of the Yue Kingdom has advanced to the main competition of the Yellow River Tournament!"
"I have a problem!" said a voice.
The speaker is off the court.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Bai Yuxia.
This is a man with extremely white skin and extremely handsome face. He is wearing a moon-colored narrow-sleeved robe and stands under the martial arts stage number B.
Among all the losers in this round, he was in relatively good condition, but the wet blood on his body also showed the hardships of fighting along the way.
Xian Nankui looked down at him, somewhat surprised: "Do you have any objections?"
"The meeting of the Yellow River, the meeting of the geniuses!"
Bai Yuxia said slowly: "I learned swordsmanship when I was three years old, and performed martial arts when I was ten years old. I kept working through the cold and heat, day and night. Only then can I come here to watch the river and compete with the heroes of the world."
"I lost today because my skills were inferior to others, so I can only blame myself."
"Jing Guo Tianjiao abandoned the competition and got an extra spot in the main competition. It is the luck of losers like us. I am very grateful that you are willing to nominate me to fill the spot. Thank you Jiang Tianjiao for recognizing my strength."
"But am I going to use this shameful way to get a spot in the main competition? Jingguo Tianjiao gave up, and other Tianjiao fought to the death. It was easier for me to lose, and the loss was not so miserable. I should get this Quota?”
Bai Yuxia shook her head: "I don't accept it."
"My self-esteem does not allow me to accept it. I, a man from the Yue Kingdom, will never accept charity."
"The victory I long for can be achieved with dignity and dignity. The honor I look forward to can be achieved through bloody battles."
He stood on the martial arts stage No. A, looked at Xian Nankui, Cao Jie, and Xia Houlie, and said forcefully: "I request that the other two defeated geniuses be given some time to recover from their injuries and let us fight again! Only A truly undoubted talent is not the occasion to insult this hero!”
"Okay!" Huang Sheli shouted in the stands. Raise your right fist high to increase your momentum.
On all sides of the stands, fists were raised one after another. Observers from all over the world show respect by their actions.
Bai Yuxia's choice is undoubtedly respectable.
This is a heroic ambition, this is a heroic behavior!
Why is the Yellow River Meeting attracting so much attention?
It is because those who can participate in this grand event are the top talents from each country.
Whether you hate it or like it, you have to admit that everyone who can compete on this river viewing platform has his or her own unique charm.
Bai Yuxia is one of them.
His pride and dignity are clearly displayed here.
Xian Nankui raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Xia Houlie looked at Bai Yuxia with great interest and let Huang Relic make a fuss without saying a word.
Cao Jie acted as if he didn't hear anything, with a "none of my business" expression on his face.
Qiao Lin's eyes were shining, and he excitedly said: "Does he have a grudge against Xia Guo? Hit Chu Min in the face like this!"
Jiang Wang ignored him. He had no interest in openly gossiping with this guy in front of so many powerful people. Aunts in other vegetable markets all know that when gossiping, one has to go behind someone’s back!
Speaking of which, the relationship between Yue and Xia has always been relatively good. Or maybe it's because they all have to face the pressure of the hegemonic power, and they all feel the same pain. But another very important reason is that the places where most students from Mugu Academy entered official positions were Yue and Xia.
Many officials from the two countries went to school together in the early years, so communication is easier.
But of course there is competition.
Bai Yuxia's statement is indeed very favorable, but in comparison, it inevitably makes the previous sympathy look even more disgusting.
It was difficult for him to judge whether Chu Min had any malicious intent, but it was not unreasonable for Qiao Lin to say that he was slapping Chu Min in the face.
Chu Min did not remain silent. Instead, before several big figures expressed their opinions, he took the initiative to persuade: "I can understand Brother Bai's pride very well. We have practiced all the way to this point, not to pick up anyone's leftovers. But the problem is, is Is your personal honor or disgrace more important, or the national interests of Yue? Please think twice before taking action."
What he said was so powerful.
Not only was he trying to persuade Bai Yuxia, but he was also trying to explain himself. Why should I be so shameless and look for opportunities in the loser's game despite being scorned by others? Isn’t it for Xia Guo? For the sake of the national interest, why would I care about this life?
In comparison, your behavior, Bai Yuxia, seems selfish. You put your personal face more important than the national interests.
At the same time, he pointed out without malicious intent that no matter what method Bai Yuxia chose to fight for this spot, he was just picking up other people's "leftovers" and nothing more than a beggar. And no matter how hard he said it, he still won his job at the table by himself.
Regardless of whether Bai Yuxia's words were meant to target him or belittle him, Chu Ming decisively "fighted back" anyway.
Bai Yuxia glanced at Chu Min and said seriously: "Bai cannot agree with Brother Chu's idea. I come to Guanhetai today to represent the country of Yue to compete with the heroes of the world. My honor and disgrace are the honor and disgrace of the country of Yue. . If it is really just Bai Yuxia’s personal matter, I will sacrifice my dignity and fight for some benefits. But today, I represent the country of Yue, and I will never allow myself to do anything that is disgraceful to the country!"
This counterattack is much more fierce.
In such an occasion where the geniuses of all countries gather together, one's personal face is the country's face. Otherwise, if you pity such a person who "regardless of personal honor and disgrace", why bother to explain here?
The corners of Chu Min's mouth twitched, and he immediately wanted to respond.
But at this time, Cao Jie spoke.
Just a moment ago, he had an air of being unconcerned, but now he leaned half an inch forward, immediately making his presence visible to others.
"You know autumn has arrived when you see a leaf. I am very relieved to see Bai Yuxia today! From Bai Yuxia, I can see the glory of the Yue Kingdom. I am very happy that they have not insulted history. People can be without money, but they cannot be without money. Backbone. A country can't live without wealth, but it can't live without dignity! On behalf of the State of Qi, I agree to give the other injured young people a chance to recover. On behalf of myself, I hope Bai Yuxia can get this honorably. Main draw spot!”
Cao Jie's words were impassioned.
Not a single word was mentioned about Xia Guo, but every sentence was criticizing Xia Guo.
Without giving Chu Ming any chance to refute, he nailed Xia Guo's genius to the pillar of shame and beat Xia Guo's face until it crackled.
This is really a bit of bullying.
But Cao Jie didn't seem to have any psychological burden at all. He looked like "I was talking about being crazy as a teenager, but now I am very passionate."
It made Jiang Wang next to him feel very strange!
Xia Guo's Imperial Master Xi Mengfu was not present today for some unknown reason, but even if he were present, it would be difficult for him to interrupt.
Because when Cao Du opened his mouth at this time, he was discussing with Xian Nankui and Xia Houlie the quota for the main competition of the Yellow River Tournament. To be more serious, he was discussing the competition system of the Yellow River Tournament. Except for the six major powers in the world, no one has the right to interrupt.
If anyone wants to get involved with this power, the top six in the world will make him understand what the top six in the world are.
"Brother Cao said so, of course I agree. Let's settle it." Xia Houlie yawned and stood up: "It's really boring here. I came here just to watch the fight, not to watch. Quarrel. Little relic, are you leaving?"
"Let's go!" Huang Relic rolled up his shirt, stood up and followed Xia Houlie. It's really neat and tidy.
Bai Yuxia and Chu Min's brief "bickering" was indeed wonderful. But it was hard not to feel embarrassed when being mocked by Xia Houlie.
Bai Yuxia might be better.
Chu Min, whose counterattack was cut off by Cao Jie, only knew how he felt.
Xian Nankui thought for a moment and said, "That's it. I'll give you two days to recover. Then we'll decide the last spot for the finals in the inner court."
The other six powerful countries in the world couldn't have been unaware of what happened here. If they didn't show up, they would have tacitly agreed to the result.
Therefore, the discussion among the three of them could be said to be the final decision.
For the entire Yellow River Conference, the final spots for the outer court will be decided tomorrow, and the final spots for the under-30s unlimited court will be decided the day after tomorrow. This is just the right time.
...
...
Returning from the "World Stage".
Jiang Wang couldn't help asking Cao Jie, "Do you have any friendship with the General Xiahou of Jing?"
Xiahou Lie said on one hand that Brother Cao has the final say, and on the other hand that he listens to Brother Cao. He looked like he only followed Cao Jie's lead, and it was hard not to be curious about their relationship.
Cao Jie said indifferently, "I know him. We had several disputes behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, and we led our troops to fight each other."
Jiang Wang said tactfully, "I think you beat him so hard that he was convinced."
Cao Jie smiled, "It was a mixed bag."
"You are so polite." Jiang Wang said attentively, "General Xiahou was beaten by you and called him brother, what else do you want!"
Cao Jie glanced at him, "That's just because I am older than him."
"You are just too modest!" Jiang Wang had an expression of "I am worried about you" on his face : "I'm not trying to flatter you. You were so impressive on the stage just now that Xian Nankui was eclipsed! The High Priest of Mu State and the Grand Commander of Jing State are all far inferior to you."
Cao Jie looked at him with a 'you're just flattering' expression: "Your flattery is too stiff. You should learn more when you have time... Just tell me! What do you want from me?"
The Yellow River Conference is of course fair, and it can even be said to be the fairest final in the world. Because no one of the top six in the world will allow any party to influence the finals.
Xian Nankui was directly attacked by everyone for his "host and guest theory", which is also a microcosm of the competition among the powers at the Yellow River Conference. Reputation, status, influence, everything is to be fought for, and there are confrontations in all aspects.
Every genius can only rely on his own strength to win, there is no doubt about it.
But is there a tacit understanding between the top six in the world?
Of course there is.
For example, in the first round of the Yellow River Conference, the top six Tianjiao players in the world will never meet.
For example, in this year's list of the main competition...
According to the convention of previous sessions, in the next game, Yelu Zhi of Liao will definitely meet Huang Sheli.
The Northwest Five Kingdoms Alliance danced happily, and Jing Kingdom would never be soft when it came to beating.
By analogy, Xiao Shu of Dan Kingdom will definitely meet Qin Zhizhen of Qin Kingdom.
The new Tianjiao of Mu Kingdom was supposed to be against Jiang Limeng of Sheng Kingdom. Now that Jiang Limeng is gone, he will probably choose a relatively weaker opponent.
Jing Kingdom and Wei Kingdom are separated by a long river, so it is reasonable for Jing Kingdom Tianjiao to find Dongguo Bao of Wei Kingdom. Now that the Tianjiao of Jing Kingdom has given up the competition, Dongguo Bao may face Yin Wenhua of Song Kingdom. But this may be... It is really possible. Because for countries other than the top six in the world, as long as they are not picked by the six major powers, the quota pairing is really fair and very random.
As a proud Qi, Jiang Wang's opponent in the first round is naturally Chu Min of Xia. Or it could be Jiang Shaohua of Shen.
Because Shen is located in the north of Qi, and not far to the north is Dongwang Valley, so the two are always connected. It can even be clearly said that Dongwang Valley is supporting Shen behind the scenes to keep Shen independent from Qi.
Generally speaking, whether to play Chu Min or Jiang Shaohua in the first round depends on who Qi wants to hit first this time.
Jiang Wang restrained his exaggerated expression and looked at Cao Jie very seriously: "In the first round of the Yellow River Meeting, I want to play Lin Zhengren."
He emphasized: "Lin Zhengren of Zhuang."
Two chapters merged. No in the evening.
In addition.
I will keep the basic update of 4,000 words for about a week.
Then burst out in a concentrated manner.
But don't expect too many words.
One is that the recent plot is too difficult to write.
Another. I, a 4,000-word contestant, have indeed been a little withered since February.
By the way, thanks to Dugu Jianxue for becoming the leader of this book!
