Chapter 23 Jingfeng and Shushan, the two families of civil and military
This person actually defeated Leng Zhuofei from my Jiangnan Academy, and his sword fell to the ground, which can be said to be a complete victory.
Fan Ruoqi has seen Leng Zhuofei's swordsmanship. He lost to him in the qualifying competition for the freshmen. Leng Zhuofei is the leader of the younger generation of Jiangnan Academy and the number one master among the freshmen of Jiangnan Academy this year.
It has been rumored that Gu Baiyu is not only very handsome, but also has outstanding martial arts skills. It turns out to be well-known at first sight today.
This young lady of the Fan family is very energetic, and ordinary men cannot catch her eyes. Gu Baiyu's high martial arts and outstanding appearance have gradually won Fan Ruoqi's favor. I heard that Prime Minister Gu Jingxiu is his father's political enemy, and his son doesn't look that annoying.
The nature of a fifteen-year-old girl is so strange. The gap between the previous generation cannot stop the curiosity of the next generation. Instead, she has a little favor, and this favor is even more mysterious and strong.
Fan Hongzhang was a famous talented man in Nanyong. He was famous for his articles and poems in his early years. After middle age, he became a great scholar and a model for scholars all over the world. Although Gu Jingxiu was the prime minister, his reputation in the hearts of scholars was not as good as Fan Hongzhang.
A prime minister can be a few years, but a talent who can write beautiful articles is rare in a century.
Nanyong governed the country with his culture and admired literati very much. Emperor Ningzong was also a famous poet and calligraphy artist.
Once, Ningzong had a banquet for the ministers. When they were drunk, Ningzong asked the ministers: "There was the talent of Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty and was famous all over the world. Who in our dynasty can compare with Li Taibai?"
The minister mentioned several names, and Ningzong shook his head, among which was Gu Jingxiu. When someone mentioned Fan Hongzhang's name, Ningzong looked happy and laughed cheerfully, "The two are quite talented in literature, Bai Youzhang's talent, and Wuzhang's learning."
The Tang Dynasty was the peak of the Chinese dynasty. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty during the Li Bai period created the Kaiyuan prosperous era and belonged to the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
Ningzong's comparison showed that his civil and military skills were comparable to those of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and expressed his ambitions and heroism, but he preferred Fan Hongzhang's talent, which shows that he preferred this.
Although he was a great scholar, Fan Hongzhang was quite open-minded about his children. Fan Ruoqi has been lively, agile and good at swordsmanship since childhood. Therefore, Fan Ruoqi was sent to Jiangnan Academy to study.
This Jiangnan Academy is different from Songyang Sword Mansion and Xihu Sword Mansion. The purpose of running schools is to "study academically as the main focus and practice martial arts as the auxiliary". So many years have passed. Although Songyang Sword Mansion and Xihu Sword Mansion are tense, Jiangnan Academy has always been out of the world, and seems to be intending to avoid the dragon and tiger battle between Songyang Sword Mansion and Xihu Sword Mansion.
This may be the reason why Fan Hongzhang sent Fan Ruoqi to Jiangnan Academy to study. He didn't want his daughter to be involved in unnecessary disputes.
Despite this, Jiangnan Academy participates in the West Lake Sword Competition every year, and ranks firmly in the top eight in Nanyong, which is also a miracle.
"In the fourth game, Beiyan Academy Su Zhanhao vs. Songyang Sword Mansion Long Qingyun."
When the Ministry of War officials had just announced the list, warm applause burst out from the crowd.
When he heard the crowd so trembling, the applause was like thunder. The wind-spirited Tuoba Xi swayed slightly and clapped desperately. Yingying's slender waist looked even more graceful.
But this applause was not caused by Long Qingyun. At this time, Long Qingyun was infamous. Even if there was applause, it was caused by Songyang Sword Mansion.
At this time, a heroic young man walked onto the martial arts stage. Under the sunlight, his majestic figure seemed tall and tall. The shouts in the crowd were louder and louder, and it was hard to distinguish between the popularity of Gu Baiyu's appearance.
This person is Su Zhanhao from Beiyan Academy in Chongqing Prefecture, and the second son of Su Wanting, the "Marquis of Zhenyuan". He was about twenty years old and took his father's battlefield to kill enemies at the age of eighteen. He had two years of military and martial arts experience and later entered Beiyan Academy to study.
Su Zhanhao's skin is bronze, his body is fierce, his firm face is as handsome as a knife, and his whole body exudes a heroic and masculine spirit.
In this year's West Lake swordsmanship, Gu Baiyu, who has the highest reputation for winning the championship, was born in a family of civil and military affairs. Gu Baiyu is the son of the current prime minister Gu Jingxiu, and Su Zhanhao's father is Su Wanting, "Marquis of Zhenyuan".
These two aristocratic families are Nanyong's civil and military affairs, which can be called the pillars of the court and protect the country's reign of Nanyong.
During the Guangzong period, Su Zhanhao's great-grandfather Su Bingkun won Wu Kui in the West Lake Sword Contest, breaking the situation where Songyang Sword Mansion and West Lake Sword Court monopolized the first place in the West Lake Sword Court. Later, because of his outstanding military achievements, he was named a marquis of Nanyong and became a figure in history in the Southern Yong Dynasty.
Although Su Wanting was the "Zhenyuan Marquis" of Nanyong, these were hereditary from their ancestors. According to the Nanyong regulations, they could only be demoted to one level of hereditary.
When he was young, Su Wanting participated in the West Lake sword contest, but unfortunately he failed to get rid of the sand and returned in disappointment. Later, he worked hard to govern and fought on the battlefield. Fortunately, he did not disappoint the reputation of the military and martial arts family. Even so, he felt regretful.
Su Zhanhao has been talented since childhood, and has visited famous teachers and has been studying hard. What is even more rare is that he studied under Pei Zhaoxi, the "famous sword in Shushan" at the age of fifteen.
Pei Zhaoxi, one of the top ten masters in Nanyong, is said to have thirty-six styles of "Shushan Famous Sword" that have long been transformed into. "Shushan Famous Sword" is powerful and far away from this place of Wu and Yue, so it seems even more mysterious.
The eldest prince Yong Tan visited the West Lake sword contest today. The big reason was that he personally recruited Su Zhanhao. Yong Tan was talented and talented. After receiving the support of Prime Minister Gu Jingxiu, his confidence increased, but he was not satisfied with this. If he could get the support of Su from the military and martial arts family, it would be a perfect solution.
As the leader of the young generation of the Su family and the helmsman of the Su family, Su Zhanhao's attitude is self-evident.
Bashu, in the southwestern border, borders Dali and Tubo, and is located at the forefront of the military; Chongqing Prefecture and Tongchuan Prefecture are located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, with an extremely prominent strategic position.
Moreover, Bashu could become a country independently. Before Dayong conquered, it was the "Last Shu" dynasty.
Recovering the Su family is equivalent to building the foundation of Bashu; if it fails, at least the Su family will not be enemies of itself.
Thinking of this, the eldest prince Yong Tan looked solemn and stared at the changes in the martial arts field.
At the beginning, Su Zhanhao showed the heroic momentum of the military and martial arts family. The thirty-six styles of the "Famous Sword of Shushan" pierced out in the air, clean and neat, sharp and domineering.
Long Qingyun and Mu Yezi and Xiao Yuliu have fought against famous swordsmen. The opponent's swordsmanship is light, agile and elegant, and ever-changing. However, Su Zhanhao's swordsmanship is concise and powerful, with sharp moves without any drag. Almost all are real moves, and there are few false moves.
Long Qingyun no longer hides, and uses the "Bibo Flowing Cloud Sword" sword technique, and waves the Longquan sword in his hand to meet Su Zhanhao's thirty-six styles of "Shushan Famous Sword".
"Swish..." After a harsh sound.
"Dang thump!" Long Qingyun took three steps back, and the Longquan sword in his hand almost flew away.
Su Zhanhao shook his body and stood firmly.
There was no shock in the crowd. People seemed to think that Long Qingyun took three steps back, which was normal. Even the contestants sent by Songyang Sword Mansion, there was no difference.
Because Su Zhanhao was too dazzling, he had been on the battlefield in the past two years and had made military achievements from an ordinary soldier to a commander of ten thousand men.
This glory requires countless horse-dressing corpses and fighting on the battlefield to get it. When the two armies faced each other, Su Zhanhao liked to wear white armor, and took the enemy's heads from tens of thousands of people, and obtained the nickname "white-robed young general".
This experience and courage are not available to many martial artists, so Su Zhanhao's swordsmanship lacks many fancy moves, removing false and retaining the truth, making it more practical, so it is more powerful.
The way of martial arts emphasizes experience and tempering. The battles between life and death on the battlefield countless times are the best tempering, so Su Zhanhao's swordsmanship has reached the point of perfection.
Long Qingyun felt a tightness in his heart. He felt a huge pressure for the first time. Even when he confronted famous swordsmen such as Mu Yezi and Xiao Yuliu, he did not have such oppression.
Of course, this does not mean that Su Zhanhao's sword skills are above Mu Yezi and Xiao Yuliu. Although Mu Yezi is the elder, Xiao Yuliu has not used all his might to give to his younger generations. More importantly, Su Zhanhao's moves have become more concise and practical after being tempered by the battlefield.
"Fast, accurate, and ruthless" is its characteristic.
Mo Tianyu in the stands, Bai Yunqi in the crowd, Tuoba Xi and others also looked worried when they saw this, hoping for the miracle to appear.
King Duan Yong Ruyu did not show any great surprise, as if Long Qingyun was beaten down, as if he had expected that even though he was beaten down, his face briefly appeared surprised, and he returned to peace in a moment.
Yong Ruyu is so calm because Lei Tianhan, the reserve, just showed his powerful strength of "Jinghong's stroke".
Murong Bai next to Mo Tianyu sat upright on a pear blossom chair, wearing a gray robe, and his vigor and elegant face was full of shock, thinking to himself:
"Su Zhanhao has such a strong sword technique at such a young age. This is the result of countless life-and-death battles on the battlefield. Although Bai Yu is very talented and has the careful guidance of two famous swordsmen, Gu Jianqiu and me, he may not be Su Zhanhao's opponent without long-term training."
Murong Bai looked regretful when he thought of this, looked at Mo Tianyu beside him, and thought to himself: "Even if I can't get first place in West Lake Sword Academy, it's not your turn. Your Songyang Sword Palace can only stop at the semi-finals."
Fan Ruoqi, who had always been arrogant, actually blinked her big eyes, looking forward to Long Qingyun's counterattack. She thought that the player who represented Songyang Sword Mansion to compete in the West Lake Sword Contest was Luo Ziqian, but why was Long Qingyun?
Gu Baiyu and Luo Ziqian are the leaders of the younger generation of Lin'an City. Among the children of the officials, they are the best two. Fan Ruoqi certainly knew that Luo Ziqian avoided Gu Baiyu and entered the Songyang Sword Mansion to obtain the right to participate in the West Lake Sword Competition.
This Long Qingyun was able to defeat Luo Ziqian. It was incredible that Fan Ruoqi suddenly became more curious about Long Qingyun. This person was tall, handsome and resolute, but the Xiao Shuxuan raised her body, and she felt calm beyond her age.
Long Qingyun's divine temperament left an indelible impression on Fan Ruoqi, which was deeply imprinted in his heart like a brand, and could not disappear for a long time. It was vague, but it seemed clear, like a dream, like a illusion, like a bitter and sweet, which was an indescribable feeling.
At this time, Fan Ruoqi was actually looking forward to a miracle in the martial arts field, and Long Qingyun regained his superb spirit.
