"The Hero Competition?" Miss.Liu leaned against the door with her sword in her arms. She looked at Li Yi and asked, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"Don't you think it's fun to be the Chief of Wulin?" Li Yi said without raising his head as he was organizing the new mathematics textbook.
"Chief of Wulin? You?" Miss.Liu's tone clearly expressed her attitude.
"Of course … not me."
Li Yi knew his own capabilities very well. He raised his head to look at her and said, "I still have you. What's so good about being the Chief of Liu League? The Chief of Wulin is more domineering. It'll make me look better …"
Miss.Liu frowned slightly. Although she was also tempted by this suggestion, she didn't think she could defeat a guru as she hadn't touched the threshold of that realm yet. If there really was a master like the Taoist Nun she met last time, wouldn't all her efforts in these days be in vain?
A person's power was extremely limited, especially after experiencing a certain incident. She had a deeper understanding of this principle.
That position was very important and couldn't fall into the hands of others.
Because Li Yi didn't tell her about this in advance, she looked at him with some dissatisfaction and turned to walk out of the door.
The weather today wasn't very hot. The maids of the Li family swept the courtyard over and over again. The pillars outside were wiped over and over again. Not a single leaf or dust was allowed to fall.
Whether they could get their allowance back or not depended on their performance in the future.
In the shade under a big tree, Second Granduncle was lying on a rocking chair in the courtyard with his eyelids drooping. Occasionally, he turned over and the rocking chair under him began to rock. It looked quite comfortable.
The mottled sunlight fell through the leaves, bringing a trace of warmth. The moment the warmth dissipated, the old man opened his eyes and looked at Miss.Liu who was standing in front of him. He asked lazily, "Little girl Ruyi, what's wrong …"
…
…
Compared to the written test that attracted the attention of the entire capital city a few days ago, the people of the capital city paid less attention to today's wushu test.
Even the officials in the imperial court did not pay too much attention to this.
However, the military generals in the imperial court regarded these two competitions with great importance. After all, they had already won the written examination. If they lost the combat examination, they would be embarrassed.
However, at this moment, around a huge sand table, the old generals were looking at the situation on it. They were not worried about winning or losing, but because of something else.
"Was he really taught by you?" The few elders looked at Old General Xue and asked.
Old General Xue was also surprised. He was the one who had taught Li Xuan, but that was a long time ago. Even he had never heard of the methods that Li Xuan had used.
Could it be that he had misjudged him? This little fellow's attainments in the art of war had far exceeded his imagination.
The forehead of the young man from the Qi Kingdom was already covered in sweat. He felt that today's battle was the strangest he had ever encountered in his life. The opponent's methods were so mysterious that he had never seen anything like it. Fortunately, the scene before him was just a simulation. If the Qi and Jing Kingdoms were to fight, the soldiers of the Qi Kingdom would definitely be at a disadvantage on the battlefield.
The young man took a deep breath and raised his head to look at Li Xuan. "What's the use of playing such tricks? If you have the guts, do you dare to fight me fair and square?"
Li Xuan glanced at him and said, "The art of war is the art of deception. The art of war lies in the ever-changing. If this was on the battlefield, you would have died eight or ten times over. What chance would there be for you to fight fair and square?"
Old General Xue nodded and looked at the few old generals. He stroked his beard and said, "What do you think? The student that I have taught is not bad, right?"
"The art of war is the art of deception … Impressive. With just one sentence, you have pointed out the essence of the art of war." A red-faced old general looked at Old General Xue and said, "Old Xue, how many years have you been studying? How can you say such words?"
Emperor Jing looked at the situation in front of him and a strange light appeared in his eyes. He said, "My two beloved ministers, please be quiet for now. If there's anything, we can talk about it later."
Although the two old generals wanted to discuss their "life ideals" on the spot, since His Majesty had spoken, they could only look at each other. They snorted coldly and continued to look at the sand table.
"Fair and square? Are you sure?" Li Xuan looked at the young man from the Qi Kingdom and confirmed again.
"Don't tell me you don't dare?" The young man snorted coldly and secretly rejoiced. This person was indeed provoked by his method of provocation. He could win this round!
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Li Xuan said calmly.
The few old generals heard this and frowned at the same time. The battlefield was not a place that cared about being fair and square. Victory was the only goal. Using the least cost to defeat the opponent was what a general needed to consider. In a situation where they had the upper hand, they had to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots in one go. What was there to talk about being fair and square? It was simply courting death.
The young man from the Qi Kingdom sneered in his heart and quickly made some arrangements. He looked at Li Xuan and said, "Please!"
Li Xuan threw a small flag in his hand on the sand table and clapped his hands. He said, "All of you have been annihilated. What's the point of competing?"
The young man was stunned for a moment and then said angrily, "Why? Don't think that you can be unreasonable just because this is the Jing Kingdom. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world? "
"Because we have Tian Fa." Li Xuan said seriously.
"…" The young man from the Qi Kingdom's face froze.
"Didn't you say that it was fair and square? You're right. On the battlefield, we won't use so many tricks because we have Tian Fa." Li Xuan looked at him indifferently and said, "But you don't."
"We have Tian Fa …"
"You don't have …"
"No …"
The young man from the Qi Kingdom's face was lifeless. His face quickly turned red and he felt as if someone had stabbed him in the chest.
This sentence made so much sense that he was speechless.
In fact, it was because of the terrifying Tian Fa that he would stand here and use such a method to compete with the Jing Kingdom. He just wanted to save a little face for the Qi Kingdom. Now it seemed that this dream had been shattered.
…
…
"Xuan 'er, you did well today."
Emperor Jing patted Li Xuan's shoulder and said with relief after the people from the Qi Kingdom left dejectedly.
Li Xuan touched his head embarrassedly and seemed to remember something. He immediately took out something and said, "Xuan 'er has something to give to Uncle Emperor."
Seeing his solemn expression, Emperor Jing was a little curious and said with a smile, "Then Uncle Emperor should take a good look at it."
He took the thin booklet from Li Xuan's hands. The cover and the title page were both blank. After flipping it open, there were words written on it.
"War is a matter of national importance. It is a place of life and death. It is the way of survival. It cannot be ignored …" Emperor Jing read and then said with some surprise, "A book on war?"
Hearing these two words, the old generals' spirits were clearly shaken.
As the emperor of a country, Emperor Jing naturally knew the way of war. But he was certainly not as good as the old generals present. After glancing at it, he handed it to Old General Xue and said, "My beloved Xue, take a look."
Old General Xue eagerly received the book. After a few glances, his eyes lit up. He glanced at the old generals out of the corner of his eye and quickly hid it. He looked at Li Xuan and asked, "What is the name of this book? Who wrote it? Why have I never heard of it? "
Li Xuan looked at Old General Xue and said calmly, "This book was written by me and the Earl of Chang 'an, Li Yi. It has not been named yet. Naturally, you have not seen it before."
When the old generals heard this, they could not help but laugh. They had been fighting all their lives and did not dare to say that they were qualified to write a book on war. They just thought that he was fooling around.
It took a while for Old General Xue to finish reading all the contents. He closed it calmly and handed it to the others. Before they had time to open it, he quickly walked up to Li Xuan and put his arm around his shoulder. He asked in a low voice, "To be honest, how do I usually treat you?"
