Emperor Jingxuan was very furious that such an accident happened in the good riding and shooting competition.

Qin Jiang was in a coma and could not get any testimony from him.

According to Su Cheng, the traitor of the Imperial Guard killed Qin Jiang's horse, took Qin Jiang's bow and arrow, and shot Qin Jiang while Qin Jiang was running away.

Later, after killing the traitor, Guard Cheng took back his bow and arrow, and shot and killed the wave of black-clothed assassins with his bow and arrow.

"Guo Hu Gong, these are all your one-sided words." An official from Xiao Duye's camp said.

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows: "So you think I hurt Qin Jiang, killed two imperial guards and so many assassins? You don't really think I have this ability, do you? Although I am indeed very powerful, you can see clearly , two imperial guards died from sword wounds, my weapon is a knife! Also, my arrow skills are not so accurate...otherwise why would I catch prey alive..."

When Emperor Jingxuan heard this, his eyes were so cold that a hundred fish could be frozen.

I knew that Su Cheng's weak point was archery. Could it be that if he didn't engage in these complicated things and just shot at the target, Qin Jiang would win instead?

"Perhaps you can use a sword..." said the official.

Xiao Chonghua opened his mouth unhurriedly: "Master Zhao, killing the imperial guards is a capital crime. The Lord Protector has no grievances with the imperial guards. If he really did it, what is he planning? After the picture came back, he was taken to chop it up The head? If he really wants to kill, he should kill Qin Jiang, right? After all, it is Qin Jiang who has taken over his identity all these years. He has killed two imperial guards, and he is already a dead end. What would he do if he let Qin Jiang go? ?”

Mr. Zhao, the left servant of the household department, was successfully choked.

Su Cheng had no reason to attack the imperial guards. Of course, it can also be said that he wanted to attack Qin Jiang, and the imperial guards prevented him from being killed by him.

So what happens after the Praetorian is dead?

What is he doing with Qin Jiang's life?

What's more, they can all see how high Su Cheng's martial arts are. He is indeed superior to Qin Jiang, but it can be said that he can seriously injure Qin Jiang, hack two imperial guards to death, and shoot ten assassin……

They won't believe it.

Emperor Jingxuan didn't believe it, let alone believe it.

If he believed it, wouldn't he be admitting that Su Cheng's talent is stronger than Qin Canglan's?

It is not clear whether evidence can be found to punish Su Cheng in the end, but the military power presumably belongs to Su Cheng.

"Father, it's time to announce the results." Princess Jingning reminded softly.

Emperor Jingxuan had been sloppy from the very beginning, and by investigating the case, he was unwilling to face the result in various ways.

Princess Jingning's voice was not loud, but it couldn't keep the scene quiet, everyone could hear clearly.

That's right, the prey has been found, and the corpse has been found, shouldn't it be time to announce the result?

With a sullen face, Emperor Jingxuan looked at the white-tailed fox in Su Cheng's bag unwillingly.

Seemingly seeing what Emperor Jingxuan was thinking, Su Cheng didn't give Emperor Jingxuan a chance to show off, and said sternly: "I didn't say that I must shoot it to death with an arrow, I just said that it is enough to hunt it!"

The point is... who hunts by hand?

This is really unexpected.

Emperor Jingxuan's face darkened even more.

"Riding and archery competition... Qin Che wins!"

Emperor Jingxuan almost gritted a few words between his teeth.

Many officials were so happy that they clenched their fists!

It's strange, they obviously didn't like Su Cheng at first, and they didn't even look forward to it, but Su Cheng's counterattack in the past few days was so exciting, even if they didn't participate in the rivalry between the two families, they couldn't help but want to do it for him. Su Cheng applauded.

Emperor Jingxuan's cold eyes swept across the audience.

The officials straightened their expressions one after another, and returned to their usual expressionless faces.

Only Qin Canglan and the old Hou Ye were still grinning from ear to ear.

No way, my son (nephew) is too ambitious!

The old face is shining!

"Don't be too happy, there is still a result that hasn't come out."

Emperor Jingxuan spoke lightly.

As soon as these words came out, Qin Canglan and the old Hou Ye's smiles froze, and they looked at Emperor Jingxuan strangely.

The rest of the people were also surprised.

There is one more...referring to the Art of War?

Of the three competitions, Su Cheng has already won the second one, so it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses in the art of war, right?

Emperor Jingxuan put on an innocent tone: "You have to win all three games to be eligible for military power. What? Didn't I say it? Fortified?"

Fu Gonggong made it clear that he had to take the blame again.

He bowed and said: "Your Majesty asked this servant to pass on a message, but this servant forgot... It's my fault, please punish me!"

As he spoke, he knelt down in fear.

How many people who can be in the officialdom are not human beings? Can you see that Emperor Jingxuan is deliberately making things difficult for Su Cheng?

If it was Qin Jiang who won two games in a row, Emperor Jingxuan would not let a fart go.

Ahem, it's too much, don't be so disrespectful to His Majesty, even in your heart...

But then again, Emperor Jing Xuan didn't do a good job.

Su Cheng is Qin Canglan's own son, he was entitled to inherit everything, but he was replaced by someone else for twenty years.

It was miserable enough for him to live among the people and grow up stumbling, but now he still has to use this unfair method to take back what belongs to him.

It was hard to win, and Emperor Jingxuan came again.

Some officials who are neutral and have nothing to do with themselves are a little bit hard to see.

This Su Cheng is really miserable, too miserable.

But what can they do? What are you doing against Emperor Jingxuan?

Some things they can fight for, and some things they can't.

The same is true for Emperor Jingxuan, he can be a rascal in some things, but not in others.

In this world, no one can completely go his own way, it depends on who can grasp the delicate balance first.

Emperor Jingxuan picked up the teacup unhurriedly, flicked the tea leaves with the lid of the cup, and asked, "Has the result come out?"

Mr. Fu hurriedly sent someone to ask.

Not long after, the little eunuch came back and announced the results of the Art of War exam.

Emperor Jingxuan suspected that he heard it wrong: "Say it again, whose test paper is better?"

The little eunuch trembled: "Su, Su Cheng..."

Seeing the gloomy expression on the emperor's face, he didn't know where he was wrong, so he could only guess and change his words, "Qin Che! It's Qin Che who has the better exam paper!"

He mentioned two Qin Ches in a row, and it seemed that it was indeed not Qin Jiang.

At this time, Qin Jiang who was placed on the ground also woke up leisurely.

The first news he heard when he woke up was that Su Cheng had won the art of war exam. His blood surged, his eyes went dark, and he passed out again!

This time, the Ministry of War and the Imperial Academy jointly reviewed the papers, and then handed over to the Sangong for review of the results. The degree of emphasis and rigor was no worse than that of the imperial examination.

Not only that, Wei Ting swaggered to sit in town.

Of course Emperor Jingxuan didn't let him go, he was so thick-skinned that no one could push him away.

Emperor Jingxuan still didn't want to believe it, so he asked someone to take the exam papers of the two of them.

He glanced at the name on the test paper, and immediately scolded him for making a mistake. After all, compared with Qin Jiang's handwriting, Su Cheng's big and clumsy handwriting was simply worlds apart. How could he win? ?

The test questions this time were written by Emperor Jingxuan himself. They did not memorize various military books by rote, but expressed their opinions on a naval battle with fewer enemies and more enemies.

Your own navy has 1,000 troops and 20 warships, and the enemy's navy has 10,000 troops and 200 warships.

They only have one night, before dawn the enemy will take the island.

The cliffs on three sides of the island are a natural barrier to stop the enemy, and only the east side can go ashore smoothly.

Qin Jiang gave two strategies.

The first is to stick to the east bank, take advantage of the terrain to block the enemy above the waters, and use the wolf smoke to request reinforcements from the nearby navy.

It will take two days for the nearby navy to arrive at the fastest, but the various defensive measures of Qin Jiang's array are enough to last for three to five days.

It can be said to be a very successful defense.

His second strategy is to sacrifice 30% of his troops and ships to break through, and exchange for the largest evacuation at the smallest cost.

He described clearly how to line up troops, how to set up an formation, and how to make a surprise attack.

If you have to forcibly break through, this is indeed the way to play with the least casualties.

Emperor Jingxuan was very satisfied, as expected he had been in the Qin family army for twenty years, his thinking was very clear, and his tactics were very mature.

Look at Su Cheng's examination paper——

Emperor Jingxuan frowned: "He handed in a blank paper?"

The academician of the Imperial Academy whispered: "...in the back."

Emperor Jingxuan turned the examination paper over, and what caught his eyes was not densely packed text, but paintings with clear lines.

It is more intuitive and clear than words, and a battle full of gunpowder seems to be on paper.

As night fell, the soldiers on the island began to transform the ships overnight under the command of the commander.

At Yinshi, twenty warships were neatly submerged into the night. The soldiers on the warships beat the drums, and their robes fluttered in the sea breeze, like deadly ghosts.

The enemy's alarm bells rang loudly, and they never expected that the other party would make a night attack with a desperate move.

This is simply to die!

The night blocked the line of sight, but the enemy army could accurately determine the direction of the warship through the sound of drums.

"Let the arrow!"

Countless sword blades shot at the sky and covered the sky.

The sound of the drum beating gradually weakened, and then there was the sound of soldiers screaming and falling into the water.

"Shot it! Go for me! They must be killed tonight! No one will be left behind!"

Enemy warships swarmed up.

However, when they got closer, they gradually realized something was wrong.

It was so quiet.

Everyone on board seemed to be dead!

No, they are all standing, but why... not launching a counterattack against them?

When they saw that the scarecrow standing on the boat was not a real soldier, they finally realized that they had been tricked.

On all the warships, only the soldiers beating the drums are real, and right now... those soldiers have already been shot by them...

No, those people were not shot into the water by them, they jumped into the water by themselves.

But they still don't understand the meaning of the other party's actions.

At this moment, a burning arrow galloped from a distance, and shot through a wooden barrel on the warship.

The barrel was lit with a bang!

Twenty ships full of kerosene exploded and burned on the sea surface, and the entire enemy warship fell into a sea of ​​flames.

Without a single soldier, a complete victory!

If this is not the talent of a general, who can be!

The examiner, like Emperor Jingxuan, read Qin Jiang's test paper first, and felt that no one could beat him at the time, but after reading Su Cheng's, everyone seemed to have experienced it personally.

That is called a blood boil!

Emperor Jingxuan clenched his fists, unable to speak a word for a long time.

Exam papers were sent down for circulation among officials.

After the officials finished watching, their admiration for Su Cheng reached the peak.

There are two reasons, the first is that this method is really unexpected and perfect, and the second is that everyone's expectations for Su Cheng are too low.

Even if Su Cheng only achieved three, they would all feel surprised and amazed, but Su Cheng achieved nine and ten. Can this not make people overwhelmed?

Emperor Jingxuan said in a deep voice, "You really answered this yourself?"

Su Chengdao: "Yes! If you don't believe me, I can draw it again for you to see. What kind of father-in-law, please lend me a pen and paper?"

Eunuch Fu looked anxiously at Emperor Jingxuan who was at the side.

Emperor Jingxuan said coldly: "No need!"

He stood up and gave the unconscious Qin Jiang a cold look, "Qin Che, win!"
