Chapter 218: Martial Arts Assessment, Sand Table Simulation of the Red Dragon Temple Bandit Suppression
King Zhao Ying Ji's gaze also fell on Ying Liang. Seeing Ying Liang's expression, a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

Our prince is becoming more and more calm and methodical in his actions. In the future, he will be able to stand on his own and support the Zhaowang Mansion.

"The garrison commander of the royal palace and the local government have always been at odds with each other. The county government has made such an effort this time that it has even mobilized the power of the Black Ice Platform..." The figure of Black Tiger, the commander of the Black Ice Platform, appeared in Ying Liang's mind.

Could it be that Lord Black Tiger came forward?

However, in this person's eyes, the party at Prince Zhao's Mansion seemed to be nothing.

After all, this person's reputation, combat power, and future potential are not something that Zhao Wang Mansion and these gathered elites need to care about.

Is it for, fourth sister?

"Zheng Tianyuan is quite frank. What happened on the Guangling River has a significant impact. I'm afraid Zhengyang County will be accused of poor local governance." King Zhao shook his head and spoke.

"This time, the county government made an effort to ensure the elite gathering so that these talented people from all walks of life can speak well of Zhengyang County and restore its reputation."

Ying Liang nodded.

This reason makes sense.

He personally experienced the ambush on the Guangling River, and when he came back to think about it, he realized that the Northern Yan Heavenly Demon Palace had quietly invaded the heartland of the Qin Dynasty. The crime was indeed serious or minor.

That time was also dangerous. If something really happened, not only would Prince Zhao's Mansion and the County Government turn against each other, they would probably tear each other apart and throw dirty water on each other.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Hei Hu.

"Zheng Tianyuan knows that my Prince Zhao's Mansion has made a great contribution to this gathering," Prince Zhao said softly with a smile on his face, "The county government will give a great treasure to my Prince Zhao's Mansion."

"Presenting this treasure to the Imperial City, even if it doesn't please His Majesty, it will at least remind Him of our lineage."

There was emotion in King Zhao's voice.

Offering treasures is also a last resort.

Just like this time, accepting the county government's intervention in the party and the participation of people from the Black Ice Platform was also a deal with equal gains and losses.

"The most precious treasure?" Ying Liang was a little stunned.

What treasures are there in Zhengyang County that he doesn’t know about?

"The Black Ice Terrace wiped out the bandits entrenched in the Red Dragon Ridge, hunted the monster, and obtained a red dragon horn."

"This dragon horn has the property of being indestructible."

"I've been to Dongquan Valley and seen the sword that Old Huang was forging. Once this sword is completed, it will definitely be a supreme treasure, no less than Chixiao Hanguang."

There was a hint of excitement in King Zhao's voice. With his shrewdness, there were not many things that could make him excited.

But this time, the county government's bargaining chips really made it difficult for him to suppress the joy in his heart.

Chi Xiao, Han Guang, and the weapons in the hands of Grandmaster Du Chongjiu.

Only a few people like Prince Zhao and the Crown Prince knew that when Prince Zhao's palace took out such a magical weapon, it was only in exchange for a promise from Du Chongjiu.

Over the years, Prince Zhao's Mansion has secretly used the name of Du Chongjiu to do a lot of things.

I'm afraid this friendship is almost gone.

"Mr. Huang, Black Ice Platform." Ying Liang felt more and more that the shadow of the Black Tiger Commander was behind this incident.

"Yes, the Black Ice Terrace," King Zhao nodded, "It was the Black Tiger Zhang Qingyang, the commander of the Black Ice Terrace, who personally killed the monster."

"Black Tiger..." Ying Liang hesitated for a moment.

He didn't know whether he should tell his father that Black Tiger seemed to have a close relationship with his sister.

Even if there is no other meaning, at least we are familiar with each other.

King Zhao sighed, "That's him! This Black Tiger Commander is a rising star in Zhengyang Commandery, stirring up endless uproar."

"Unfortunately, this person is also a military officer in charge of the army in Black Ice Fortress. It is not something that my Zhaowang Mansion can associate with."

King Zhao didn't even have the intention to make friends with the Black Tiger Commander.

The Prince Zhao’s Mansion can give it, so the character can get it easily.

In the Qin Dynasty, military achievements are important and martial arts are respected.

There are many people in the Qin Dynasty who rise to the top with the help of swords in their hands.

The Zhengyang County Government participated in the gathering, and the nature of this gathering was different.

Ying Liang discussed some more matters regarding the gathering with Prince Zhao, revising some of the previous plans. "Originally, we were planning to finalize the matter between your aunt and the fourth girl. Among these talented individuals, those with real potential and a good foundation are those that Prince Zhao's palace wants to attract. Now, it seems, this matter will have to be put off until after the gathering."

"With the county government involved, it's not easy for my Zhaowang Mansion to bring the marriage matter to the table again."

Prince Zhao looked at Ying Liang with a serious expression on his face: "Your aunt has made great contributions to the Zhao Palace. We cannot let her down."

"Also, the fourth girl is your biological sister. Your mother and I have spoiled her since she was a child. Even if we want to arrange a marriage, we can't let her suffer."

King Zhao sighed softly and looked outside the hall: "If it weren't for the inheritance of glory for the palace, why would we have to live such a hard life?"

"Having inherited the glory and wealth of the royal family, one must shoulder the heavy responsibility of inheriting the legacy."

Ying Liang nodded.

"By the way, where is the fourth girl? When I came, your mother asked me to bring her some jewelry and some cakes." King Zhao looked at Ying Liang.

"Fourth girl, she went to martial arts school." Ying Liang lowered his head slightly and said, "She has been busy arranging the party recently. Today is Mr. Zuoqiu Ren's class, and she went to attend it."

When King Zhao heard him mention the name of Zuoqiu Ren, he stopped talking.

------------------

Martial arts.

In the school.

One by one, the students fixed the piled sand table and began to plant flags one by one.

Sun Ze, Zhao Kuo, Zuoqiu Ren and Huang Shi stood aside.

The students in training gathered around, all staring at the sand table.

"This is the location for this assessment, Red Dragon Ridge."

"Surrounding the Red Dragon Temple, our mission is to defend the Red Dragon Temple and kill the bandits at the same time."

"What power do we have, what power do the bandits have, you can consider as you please."

Zuoqiu Ren's voice rang out.

Is this the assessment?

A mere Red Dragon Temple is nothing more than a bandit suppression mission. It turns out the mission is so simple?
Those students all had smiles on their faces.

"I heard," a student from the prefecture standing nearby raised his head with a serious expression, "my master said that this time in the Red Dragon Temple, the Black Ice Platform gathered hundreds of martial artists to surround and kill a demonic beast."

Black ice platform!
Surround and kill the monsters!

Is it to deduce the process of surrounding and killing the monster?
Suppressing bandits is fake, but killing monsters is real?

If that were the case, it would not be an easy task.

The smiles on the students' faces disappeared.

"Are the Jianghu forces involved?" Young Master Xun stared at the sand table and whispered, "I heard that the Jianghu in Zhengyang County has been in turmoil recently, and many sects have posted messages. Could it be about this?"

"Could our assessment really be actual combat?"

Master Xun's words made everyone's faces darken.

The four instructors looked calm and did not explain anything.

"Is this the Red Dragon Temple?" Zhao Yu, who was standing next to Zhang Yuan, pointed at the sand table and spoke in a low voice.

Zhang Yuan nodded.

"According to what Mr. Zuoqiu said and their inference, is it really an unimaginable actual combat?" Zhao Yu looked at Zhang Yuan.

"Yes." Zhang Yuan said.

"Are you interested in some deduction?" Zhang Yuan looked at Zhao Yu.

"Me?" Zhao Yu's eyes flashed with excitement.

Hu Tang and others beside Zhang Yuan turned around and quietly made way.

Zhao Yu nodded and clenched his fist slightly.

"it is good."
