Chapter 68 Why Women Can't Go to the Battlefield
The martial arts test will be held in the arena, which is quite spacious and not far from this place.
"Sister Zhonglan, Sister Mengqing doesn't think she can beat those generals in the martial arts test, right?" Guo Peiying asked weakly.
Xue Zhonglan shook his head and said uncertainly, "Let's go and see for ourselves!"
Chu Murong, who was left behind, said: "......"
Could he say that he was also very curious about whether Yu Mengqing could defeat those generals?
Inside the arena.
There are five events in today's competition, both civil and military. Three of them are martial arts tests, and Yu Mengqing has already won two of the civil tests.
If she wins one of these martial arts, the prize will belong to her.
This is really not difficult for her.
I took a quick look at the three competitions: boxing, weightlifting, and archery.
Yu Mengqing thought about it and thought that among these three competitions, fighting was acceptable, but it would not look good for her as a woman to compete.
If it comes to weightlifting, she may not win.
In the apocalypse, she usually used her strength, and weightlifting was not her forte.
Moreover, as a woman, she is obviously at a disadvantage when competing with men in strength, and she will not allow such a thing to happen.
Moreover, she just saw that those generals could lift objects weighing two or three hundred kilograms.
After choosing and choosing, the most suitable one for her is the archer, and this is the only one that suits her best.
“Okay, okay…”
Yu Mengqing was interrupted by screams. When she stepped forward, she found that Guo Yalun, who was standing right in front of her, had just lowered his bow and arrow.
It turned out that he was the one who shot the arrow just now.
"Next up is the War King. In previous years, the War King didn't participate in these competitions. I don't know why, but he seems particularly interested this year."
"Yeah, that's strange. He won the fight in less than a quarter of an hour. It shows he's really strong."
"Can he be called a war king without some strength? Back then, he single-handedly turned the tide and defeated the enemy. Have you forgotten this?"
"It caused a sensation throughout the Great Xia Kingdom back then. How could we forget it?" said another general.
“…”
As Yu Mengqing approached, these words fell into her ears one by one.
Although their discussion was very quiet, Yu Mengqing could still hear it clearly.
Glancing at the man not far away, Yu Mengqing realized that the famous War King seemed particularly eager to win this competition today.
Does he also need that prize?
Thinking about it this way, he also wanted to make some requests to the emperor.
It’s a pity that I didn’t see his fighting skills with my own eyes, otherwise I would have some understanding of his fighting ability.
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle, right?
Just now she heard people praising his fighting skills.
He scanned the entire field and found that the only person who could be his opponent was Chu Shiheng.
I just saw that Guo Yalun is a pretty good archer.
It was fast, fierce and accurate, and it hit the red dot in the center of the target.
But in terms of ruthlessness, it still lacks a bit.
Moreover, she could tell from the smile on Chu Shiheng's lips that his thoughts were obviously consistent with hers.
I also think that Guo Yalun's archery is lacking.
Thinking about it this way, his archery skills must be better than Guo Yalun, even much better than him.
Chu Shiheng also noticed Yu Mengqing's gaze, raised his eyes and met Yu Mengqing's clear eyes.
He calmed down, narrowed his deep eyes slightly, and then walked towards Yu Mengqing.
"Why? Are you interested too?"
"Of course, you know I want the prize." Yu Mengqing said frankly.
His eyes and words showed his determination to win the prize.
"Oh, really?" Chu Shiheng asked back.
At this time, Chu Shiheng just thought that Yu Mengqing was a better archer, but it was still a bit difficult to win first place.
That's why he is participating in these competitions today.
Yu Mengqing raised her eyebrows, thinking that Chu Shiheng wanted to compete with her.
It seems that she has met her match this time.
At this time, some people noticed the emperor coming in from outside and saluted him one after another.
Xue Zhonglan and Guo Peiying are no exception.
"Everyone, there's no need to be so polite. I came here to observe and I'm very curious about the demeanor of our country's women."
When he said this, Chu Murong's gaze happened to sweep towards Yu Mengqing and the other two.
The meaning is obvious, I just want to see a competition between women.
Seeing this, the generals started discussing again...
"Isn't this an unfair victory?"
"It's fine if the victory is unfair, but forcing us to compete with women, isn't that looking down on us men?"
"How can you compare? A girl from a wealthy family, no matter how powerful she is, can only wield a sword and a gun for show. Can she really go to the battlefield?"
“…”
The discussion among the few people also did not escape Yu Mengqing's ears.
He walked slowly to the front of several people, looked at them, and asked in a cold voice:
"Why do you think that women participating in this martial arts test means they look down on you men? And why do you think that women can't go to the battlefield?"
"Are we wrong? Aren't women supposed to stay at home, take care of their husbands and children? Why are you trying to learn martial arts from others? Isn't that just making people laugh?"
"Mulan joined the army for her father and was able to go to war as well. On the battlefield, she was not inferior to you men at all, so what you men can do, we women can do as well." Yu Mengqing said angrily.
Hearing this, Guo Peiying immediately raised her fist and echoed, "That's right, how are we any worse? Maybe I can even beat you."
"Hahaha...this is a joke!" Chu Shiwei walked in and laughed.
"What do you mean by that, Prince?" Yu Mengqing asked.
"Women on the battlefield? Isn't that a huge joke?"
Then he glanced up and down at Yu Mengqing, the contempt in his eyes clear as day, and continued: "On the battlefield, do you think you can kill the enemy? Or do you think you can ride a warhorse?"
When he said this, there was no trace of sarcasm in Chu Shiwei's eyes.
"Why not?" Yu Mengqing asked back.
"If women go to the battlefield, wouldn't that make the enemy laugh at our Great Xia nation, saying we have no successors? Sending women who are weak and powerless to the battlefield means we've already lost before the battle even begins."
Yu Mengqing scoffed and said nonchalantly, "Prince, what you said is wrong. Where did you get the idea that women can't go to the battlefield?"
This time, Chu Shiwei ignored Yu Mengqing's words. Instead, he looked at Chu Shiheng and asked, "Do you also think that women can go to the battlefield, fight alongside you, and become a war king?"
