"Don't get me wrong, he told Zheng'er to amuse the children." Su Liang explained.

Xing Yusheng smiled, "We all understand."

Su Liang: ...Whatever they think, she doesn't care.

The initial test for martial arts selection was in the west of the city, where there were many people. There was no competition stage, but a large square with areas divided into areas.

Two people assigned to the same group compete against each other, one person is eliminated, one person advances, and the person who advances advances to the next round of competition.

On the first day of the primary election, there will be two rounds of selection, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Most of the people can be screened out in one day.

The space is limited, so everyone cannot play at the same time and must take turns.

Qi Yan and Qi Jun went to the front to see Su Liang's grouping.

Qin Yujin suddenly pulled Su Liang's sleeve, "Is that Nian Ruxue?"

Su Liang followed Qin Yujin's line of sight and first saw the maid Nian Ruxue whom she had met twice. Standing next to the maid was a slender young man, but his chest was not flat and had regular bumps. At first glance, he looked like a woman. Judging from the figure, he looked like a girl. Years are no different than snow.

The reason why Qin Yujin was not sure was because the man wore an exquisite silver mask, only showing his eyes and lower jaw.

"It should be her, right?" Qin Yujin frowned, "Wearing men's clothes and a mask, what is she doing?"

Su Liang said he didn't understand.

Soon there were people talking around, saying that Nian Ruxue was participating in the martial arts competition. In order to prevent her opponents from mistaking her for a woman, she deliberately wore men's clothes and put on a mask to cover her appearance.

"Miss Nian Si came to compete with us in an upright and upright manner. It's really admirable." A man said loudly, "I don't know about others, but if I were to fight Miss Nian Si, she is so beautiful and charming, and I would be reluctant to be cruel. Hand!"

A group of men shouted in agreement.

For a time, Nian Ruxue was regarded as a goddess-like existence by many men.

In this martial arts competition, everyone's expectations for Nian Ruxue were suddenly raised.

Where there are many people, there are always weird things.

Not long after, someone said that as a woman participating in martial arts, Su Liang was not as majestic as Nian Ruxue. It was impossible to guarantee that she was not trying to use her beauty to confuse her opponents.

Lin Xueqing was furious when she heard it!

Her sister Su is here to compete in martial arts. If the opponent is confused because of sister Su's good looks, then how can it be sister Su's fault? It’s because the opponent’s character is not good, so he won’t be wronged if he loses.

"This is clearly discrimination!" Lin Xueqing was dissatisfied, "They just think that if a woman competes with a man, even if she wins, she will rely on her beauty to seduce people, not her true ability! Why do they ask Sister Su to wear men's clothes to cover her face? ? To put it this way, I think those people should cover their faces, otherwise if Sister Su loses, they will blame them for their ugly appearance, which scares Sister Su and prevents her from showing her true strength! "

Xing Yusheng couldn't help laughing and nodded repeatedly, "What Xue Qing said makes perfect sense."

"In a fair competition, what is the difference between men and women? Nian Ruxue pretends to be mysterious, but Sister Su is truly open and honest." Lin Xueqing said that those men who admire Nian Ruxue and belittle Su Liang are waiting to be slapped in the face!

Brother Qi Yan and Qi Jun came back and said that Su Liang was assigned to the tenth group. There were four people in total. Two of the four were selected in the morning and one of the two was selected in the afternoon. After two rounds of elimination, the final winner entered tomorrow's selection.

"The first ten groups have started. It's over there. Miss Su, hurry up!" Qi Yan pointed in the direction.

Xing Yusheng asked Qi Jun, "Where is Nian Ruxue?"

Qi Jun said that Nian Ruxue and Su Liang were not in the same group, and she was ranked very low.

…

Su Liang's first opponent was a tall and strong man.

The referee introduced the ages of both parties.

Su Liang has just turned fifteen.

The opponent was thirty-four and a half years old, just within the maximum age limit for martial arts competitions.

A man and a woman, about twenty years apart, this competition was the first of its kind in the history of martial arts.

Before the fight started, the man snorted and said, "Little girl, I won't show mercy to you!"

Su Liang looked calm, "Me too."

The level of the people participating in the preliminary round varied greatly, which Su Liang had known for a long time.

But she didn't expect that the first opponent she met was very powerful. She was indeed powerful, but also agile.

There were many competitions nearby that ended quickly after they started, and everyone gathered around to watch Su Liang's performance.

"I didn't expect her to be so powerful!"

"The two of them met in the first game. No matter who loses, he will be unlucky. With this kind of strength, both of them have a chance to make it to the end!"

Everyone was talking a lot. It's rare to see such a wonderful performance in the primary.

Xing Yusheng asked Ning Jing in a low voice, "Could someone deliberately arrange a master for Su Liang's first match?"

In this way, not only can they test Su Liang's strength, but they can also have the opportunity to eliminate her quickly.

Although it is said that the imperial examinations of the state of Qian are very strict, there are too many people in the preliminary examinations of the military examinations and the rules are extensive. If someone wants to do something in secret, it is not difficult.

Moreover, random grouping means everything is "God's will" and leaves no clue.

Ning Jing did not answer Xing Yusheng's question and just watched the battle situation quietly.

"Auntie, come on!" Zheng'er rode on Lu Yu's neck, waving her little hands high and shouting very hard.

It seems that the two are evenly matched.

Qi Jun said in Xing Yusheng's ear, "Miss Su is not using her full strength, she is testing the other party."

Xing Yusheng feels the same way. Although his opponent was under great pressure, Su Liang was able to handle it with ease.

Just when Lin Xueqing exclaimed, thinking that the tall and strong man was going to hit Su Liang, he was knocked to the ground by Su Liang's tricky roundhouse kick!

Everyone was stunned as they watched Su Liang, who was relatively petite and weak, knock down the strong man.

And the strong man knew that Su Liang's strength was above his, and he had no chance to hurt her, but kept suppressing her.

He had nothing to be dissatisfied with, and didn't want to continue fighting. He got up and accepted his fate of being eliminated, handed in his number plate, and disappeared in the crowd.

Su Liang, win!

Lin Xueqing and Qin Yujin hugged Su Liang on the left and right, more excited than her.

Zheng'er smiled brightly, "Aunt is the best!"

...

The next game was in the afternoon, and Su Liang left after the game.

Xing Yusheng kept Qi Yan and Qi Jun, and told them to pay attention to any powerful people, especially to pay attention to Nian Ruxue's first game to see how strong she was.

Xing Yusheng didn't care about Nian Ruxue, but he knew that Nian Ruxue didn't get along with Su Liang, and her engagement with the second prince would inevitably be angered by Su Liang, which was an enemy that needed to be watched.

Duanmu Chen didn't show up, but sent a subordinate to see and report back to him. Chang'an is not known to many people.

Wan Hui invited them to Wan's Restaurant, and the best private room was reserved.

Everyone raised their glasses, and except for Ning Jing who always remained aloof, everyone else was happy.

"Why do you act like I've won the first place in the imperial examination?" Su Liang said with a smile.

"Auntie won the first place in the imperial examination!" Zheng'er always knew the key points.

Lin Xueqing smiled, "I think Sister Su will definitely win the first place in the imperial examination."

Xing Yusheng nodded immediately, "Me too."

Qin Yujin joked that they were following the husband's lead, and then said that she also had confidence in Su Liang.

Su Liang looked directly at Ning Jing, "What do you think?"

Ning Jing shook his head, "Don't be blindly confident when your opponent is unknown."

Zheng'er said with a smile, "Be confident!"

Everyone laughed.

The first round of competition ended after noon, and half of the people were eliminated in half a day.

Qi Yan and Qi Jun came to the restaurant after watching.

"Miss Nian's opponent is very weak, and she was knocked out of bounds with one move." Qi Yan snorted, "I think there is something wrong with this grouping!"

Qi Jun shook his head, "It's hard to say. Among the three groups, Miss Su and Miss Nian are not in the same group, and they may not meet until the end."

"Could it be that Nian Ruxue cheated and bribed someone to always get weak opponents?" Lin Xueqing asked.

"But judging from today's grouping, there may not be any tricks, maybe it's just a coincidence." Qin Yujin said.

"Anyway, I think she is a person who likes to play dirty tricks." Lin Xueqing said, "Even if there is no problem, she will not be a match for Sister Su!"

Su Liang coughed lightly, "Don't flatter me behind closed doors. Ning Jing knows my strength best. He said it's not certain."

Zheng'er raised his little hand and said loudly, "Definitely!"

Ning Jing looked at Su Liang with a faint expression, "Don't let Zheng'er down."

Su Liang held his forehead, "I will try my best."

...

On the first day of the martial arts examination, the whole city was talking about it, and the most talked about was Nian Ruxue.

The noble lady lived a life of luxury, but she was not afraid of hardship and practiced martial arts diligently.

She did not show her martial arts before, and was humble and low-key.

For fairness, she wore men's clothes and a mask.

It even rose to the point that Nian Ruxue was so beautiful and worked so hard just to earn face for the country of Gan.

The above are all the good names of Nian Ruxue spread in the capital.

Few people mentioned Su Liang. Even if there were, some talked about the strangeness of her resurrection from the dead, and some used her to set off Nian Ruxue's grandeur.

Only a few who watched the match today and saw Su Liang's strength with their own eyes believed that she could make it to the end without any accidents.

...

Nian Family.

After the marriage was granted, Nian Ruxue was treated coldly by the old lady Nian and the couple Nian Jitang. Until today, their attitude towards her has improved again.

The maid brought the bird's nest over and gave it to Nian Ruxue, saying that the old lady had told her to drink it.

"Put it down." Nian Ruxue was dressing in front of the mirror, with a faint expression and no joy.

The maid put down the bird's nest and lowered her head to retreat.

When she reached the door, she bumped into someone.

"Young Master!" The maid hurriedly stepped back.

Nian Jinxing grabbed the maid, pushed her out, and closed the door from the inside.

The maid almost fell down and stood outside with an uneasy look.

"What is big brother doing?" Nian Ruxue looked unhappy.

Nian Jinxing walked up to Nian Ruxue, leaned in close, looked into her eyes, and asked in a low voice, "How did you do it?"

Nian Ruxue leaned back and frowned, "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"You can fool others, but not me!" Nian Jinxing sneered, "I know your strength very well!"

Nian Ruxue stood up and snorted, "I'm lucky today. I met someone with very weak martial arts. Big brother, you can't stand me, okay?"

"How could it be? You are my sister." Nian Jinxing reached out and picked up the mask on the table, covering Nian Ruxue's face, and laughed, "But I don't want to be like Nian Jincheng one day, being fooled around by you. You are the smartest person in the Nian family. I'll give you another chance, tell me, what did you do?"

Nian Ruxue's face was cold, "Am I so unbearable in the eyes of big brother?"

"There is no need to ask this kind of nonsense, telling the truth hurts feelings." Nian Jinxing sneered, "Since you don't say it, then I'll take this mask away."

Nian Ruxue stared, "What do you want to do?"

Nian Jinxing approached suddenly, stretched out his hand to pinch her neck, and whispered in her ear, "Wearing men's clothes and masks, being so mysterious, you are not like my good sister who always thinks she is the most beautiful in the world and hopes that all men will be fascinated by her! Those reasons are just to deceive outsiders. Don't I know you?"

Nian Ruxue looked unhappy, "Whatever you think!"

"Brother, I do have a bold guess, do you want to hear it?" Nian Jinxing let go of Nian Ruxue and put the mask on his face, still unable to hide the evil in his eyes, "The one who really went to participate in the martial arts examination was not you, but the substitute you found. Am I right?"
