Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Chapter 527 Martial Arts Examination

Several people made sarcastic remarks one by one.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold, "What are you doing here?"

"If you want to know the content of the martial arts exam, I'm sorry I can't tell you. Please go back."

Their expressions changed, and they quickly changed the subject: "No, no, no, we are here..."

"Come...come and ask General Jiang for martial arts advice!"

"Yeah!"

In order to stay in the Prince Chu's Mansion, several people immediately found problems and asked Jiang Ningwan for help.

Li Chun watched quietly from the side. The Prince of Chu's Mansion became lively again, which was rare.

But she had no work to do.

As soon as Jiang Ningwan sat down, people rushed to pour tea, add charcoal to the charcoal basin, and even peeled oranges.

Those people were so diligent that they wanted to take over all the cleaning work in the mansion.

At first there were only three or five people, but later on a few more came every day.

So much so that at first Jiang Ningwan could still tell who was who, but later she couldn't even call out a single name.

The Prince of Chu's Mansion is almost becoming a martial arts school.

Jiang Ningwan didn't have time to instruct them one by one, so he gathered them all together and had them practice boxing and martial arts, as strictly as in the military camp.

"You're so weak! Haven't you eaten? Show some spirit!" Jiang Ningwan walked around slowly with his hands behind his back, scolding loudly.

Not far away, Lichun and several maids were watching.

"Our house has become a martial arts training ground."

"Isn't this great? All the handsome young men in Kyoto are here. It's a real feast for our eyes. How can we usually see so many handsome men?"

A maidservant asked while cracking sunflower seeds, "Hey, do you think these people are really here to learn about the military exam? But our general will definitely not reveal a single detail, and yet they're not leaving, and the number of people is even increasing."

"I think it's not just because of the content of the martial arts exam. Now that the King of Chu is gone, our general's family background, status, official position, character, and appearance are all among the best. Not to mention those who curry favor with the powerful, even I want to marry the general."

"Even if they become a son-in-law, it's a great bargain!"

Li Chun snorted coldly: "They are not worthy."

For more than ten days in a row, there were so many people in the Prince of Chu's Mansion every day, and it was very lively.

After a few days of contact, Jiang Ningwan discovered that many of these people were sent by Qin Chengqian to find out the content of the martial arts exam.

But Jiang Ningwan didn't reveal a single word.

……

half a month later.

People who wanted to take the military examination began to register, the Ministry of Revenue checked them one by one, and then posted the results.

All those who took the martial arts exam gathered together and lived in the Guanjiang Pavilion, which was guarded by the Dragon Guards. Those who took the exam were not allowed to go out or see outsiders.

All their food will be inspected, and all medicines for external and internal injuries are provided by the Imperial Medical Service and are not allowed to be counterfeit.

Although men and women took the martial arts exam together, they lived in different courtyards.

More than 50 people including Yan Huixue signed up to participate. To Jiang Ningwan's surprise, Pei Xunzhi also participated.

There were about a hundred people from Ling Wei's army who took the military examination.

Including other registered participants, there were more than 300 people participating in total.

There are a lot of people, so this martial arts exam will last for many days.

On the first day, we were divided into groups of ten.

All future martial arts examinations will be conducted in groups, and all assessments will determine the ranking within the group. The top five people in the group will enter the final assessment.

So the ten people in the group are both teammates and opponents.

Although Jiang Ningwan is not responsible for the assessment, he can come to inspect.

The first day was a test on horseback riding and archery.

I didn't expect Qin Chengqian to come too.

"General Jiang has been very lucky lately." Qin Chengqian came forward and sneered.

"What does the eldest prince mean?" Jiang Ningwan asked calmly.

Qin Chengqian sneered, "Do I need to be so clear about this? The Prince of Chu's Mansion has been so busy lately, who in Kyoto doesn't know about this?"

"Sixteenth Uncle has only been gone for a short time, and you can't hold back anymore, and you dare to be in the Prince of Chu's Mansion."

Jiang Ningwan gave him a sharp look, "As expected, if your heart is not clean, everything you see will be dirty."

"He's just the eldest prince, so it's not surprising. He must have done a lot of dirty things like this."

Qin Chengqian's expression changed. "What do you mean?"

Seeing him angry, Jiang Ningwan raised her eyebrows in surprise and smiled, "Don't you know what people outside are saying about you, Prince?"

"Well, I'd better not say anything more."

Qin Chengqian's face turned pale and his mind was in a mess. He was afraid that the scandal between Jiang Xiru and Xie Yongan would be known to outsiders. How could he save his face then?

He clenched his palms tightly and smiled coldly, "I have experienced General Jiang's sharp tongue."

"I won't argue with you, let's talk based on our abilities!"

"Both men and women will take the test. I want to see how many rounds your women soldiers can survive."

Although he had to admit that Jiang Ningwan was very powerful, there were not so many Jiang Ningwans in the world.

There are even fewer women who practice martial arts.

The female soldiers under Jiang Ningwan's command did not practice orthodox martial arts at all, they all came from unconventional ways.

This military exam not only tests martial arts, but also the ability to lead troops in battle. The military tactics alone can stump a lot of people.

I'm afraid that among the women in her army, there are not many who can read, let alone understand military books.

Jiang Ningwan said calmly, "I'm looking forward to it just as much as Your Highness does."

Soon, the first five groups had finished the assessment.

Coming out of the racecourse.

Jiang Ningwan looked up and saw Yan Huixue and others coming out first, talking and laughing.

Just as I was about to call them, I suddenly found that Fan Fuxing was there too.

Fan Fuxing gave Yan Huixue a cold look and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. This is only the first round! So what if you get first place?"

Yan Huixue fought back unyieldingly: "But you didn't get it, why can't I be happy?"

Fan Fuxing gritted his teeth, turned around and saw Jiang Ningwan, his eyes instantly became extremely cold.

That look seemed to want to eat Jiang Ningwan alive.

Yan Huixue also noticed it and sneered, "If you don't agree, we can still compete. We can compete later after the exam! If you are not as skilled as others, then you are not as skilled as others."

Fan Fuxing snorted coldly and walked away.

Yan Huixue ran over quickly, "General!"

"How about it?"

Yan Huixue said happily: "I won first place in our group."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Are you and Fan Fuxing assigned to the same group?"

Yan Huixue nodded, and seeing the eldest prince was also there, she added a few words: "Yes, Fan Fuxing took fifth place. I don't know how he got into the Imperial Guard with his strength."

Jiang Ningwan was amused.

She thought Fan Fuxing would get second or third place, but unexpectedly he was only fifth, which was much worse than she expected.

Qin Chengqian's face turned green.

The hands behind his back were clenched into fists, and his knuckles cracked.

Jiang Ningwan added fuel to the fire and smiled at Qin Chengqian, "Your Highness, you won't bet on Fan Fuxing, right? Judging from his strength, I'm afraid he can't even get into the first rank."

Qin Chengqian gave her a sharp look and said, "This is just the beginning. Why are you so proud? Let's wait and see!"

After saying that, he turned away.
