That night, the Liu family received a message from Mrs. Jiang.
The Liu family was so angry that they gathered around the table and cursed for half the night.
The next day, some tea parties were held in Jiang Chen's name, inviting all the candidates of the martial arts selection to listen to military strategies and discuss military affairs. Jiang Chen also showed up several times.
Every time he came out, Zhou Yunshen was with him.
Regardless of whether they came from a famous family or a poor one, those candidates were extremely excited to have the opportunity to meet and speak to the Marquis of Zhennan.
Zhou Yunshen behaves very easy-going in front of outsiders, and many of his words are to the point.
In just three days, the reputation of Zhennan Hou for being kind to the people and treating them equally and Jiang Chen's generosity in sharing knowledge spread.
General Zhao and several non-commissioned officers who had been on the battlefield also came in batches to share some things that happened on the battlefield.
Some poor candidates even received the favor of some nobles, who quickly spread the news by word of mouth, solidifying Jiang Chen's reputation.
At the same time, Lan Ruoyue received a large number of patients.
Out of respect for the emperor, she could only rent out the best ward at a low price.
A ward costs five cents a day. If the room wasn't free, she would have lost all her money!
Lan Ruoyue was extremely busy, and when she heard that Jiang Chen was doing very well among the candidates, she began to feel jealous again.
Lan Ruoyue: [In the original novel, Jiang Chen was just cannon fodder, but now he acts like a protagonist. It's really baffling.]
System: [Because of the reborn, some of the plot has changed, but host, you just need to make sure that Liu Defa is still the top scorer in this year's martial arts competition!]
Lan Ruoyue was unhappy.
In the original novel, Liu Defa was almost beaten down, but it was "Lan Ruoyue" who helped him and laid the foundation for him to become the top martial arts champion.
This is also the biggest reason why Liu Defa later followed "Lan Ruoyue"'s lead.
Now there is another Jiang Chen, and his reputation is so high, it is hard to say whether he will come out on top.
How can she guarantee this?
System: [Host, Liu Defa was raised by wolves and returned to human society at the age of ten. He learned his martial arts by imitating the wolves. In terms of strength, he is definitely one of the best, but his background is too poor. You will definitely not suffer any loss by helping him.]
Lan Ruoyue muttered softly: "A few days ago, the Fourth Prince sent someone to deliver a message to reprimand me. Now I'm looking for something to do again. I might get scolded again."
The system was in a mess and didn't know what to say.
Aren’t you awesome?
Don’t you look down on ancient people?
Then why are you afraid of Little Fourth?
Are you scared just because he is the male lead?
This double-standard dog who bullies the weak and fears the strong, how annoying is he!
The system patiently advised: [Host, you still need to follow the plot. Winning the hearts of key figures is equivalent to gaining luck points!]
[I know, I know! Anyway, I've helped a lot of people, so I'm halfway through my bet with Zhou Yunshen, right? Then let me go and bump into Liu Defa, and you help me find out where he is.]
System: [We've detected that he's in the Zhaixing Tower. There are many high-ranking officials and nobles there, and a peasant like him is the easiest to be bullied. Host, this is a good opportunity, you must seize it!]
Lan Ruoyue's face had almost healed. After a simple tidying up, she put on white clothes and a veil, and she looked like a fairy again.
At this time, there were many candidates gathered in Zhaixing Tower.
General Zhao took out some weapons he had collected and shared them with everyone.
Jiang Shuyue, wearing men's clothing, was sitting on the second floor near the stands, drinking tea and eating melon seeds while watching General Zhao demonstrate how to use these weapons.
Jiang Shuyue: [Huahua, I have to say this, Lao Zhao's lectures are better than my husband's. They're vivid and lifelike, as if he's ready to fight someone at any moment.]
Hua Hua: [Of course not. These weapons all have stories behind them. For example, that scimitar, if it had slashed across his head at a 30-degree angle, it would have shaved off his crown!]
[And the triangular bow, an arrow pierced his shoulder, and when it was taken out, the tip of the arrow was still attached to the flesh.]
Jiang Shuyue said in a deep voice, "Ah... It feels quite fresh..."
Zhao Qing was stunned as he listened below.
It was indeed new, but at that time, the pain almost killed him!
It still hurts when I think about it now.
General Zhao then took out a nunchaku, and Jiang Shuyue reflexively sang: [Hey hey ha eh, use the nunchaku!]
General Zhao’s granary: What the hell is this?
He cleared his throat. "This thing's called a nunchaku. It's a rare weapon, but as long as you use it flexibly, you can use it for both attack and defense. It's not very convenient in battle, but it's quite useful in a one-on-one fight. I've practiced a few moves and I can demonstrate them to you. Who's up?"
“Me, me, me!”
A lot of people raised their hands in the hall on the first floor, and some even wanted to rush onto the stage.
Jiang Shuyue was very curious: [Why are people so eager to get beaten? Why are there so many people looking for a beating?]
Some people downstairs turned their heads curiously to look up, with strange expressions on their faces.
Zhou Shiye immediately asked his followers to record the names of these people.
Zhou Shiye said: "General Zhao is also a famous general in our Great Zhou. There are not many opportunities to play chess with him. Even if I get beaten, it is a rare opportunity."
"Is that so... then... if it were you, would you also be willing to be beaten?"
Zhou Shiye: ...
I didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Learning martial arts and getting beaten is a necessary step for all martial artists.
He is no exception.
But there are relatively few people who dare to beat him. He has been learning from his father and his master since he was a child. Even if others want to beat him, they don’t have the qualifications.
