Chapter 43 one

Wang Zhuo and Gao Monk received a letter from Zhang Yi, a political adviser, and moved into Zhang's residence one month before the official start of the martial arts competition. The Mongolian people advocate martial arts.Since Kublai Khan took over the Central Plains, he has never restored the imperial examination system of the Jin Dynasty, but held a large-scale martial arts competition in the capital every three to four years, so as to select the necessary talents for the court.There are no restrictions on age, ethnicity, or social status in martial arts competitions, and the ranking is only based on the total score after a few specified games. Moreover, anyone who wins the top ten in the martial arts competition may be directly entrusted with the official position of military commander.

The martial arts competition originally scheduled for the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty was postponed because the imperial court started the war of conquest against the Song Dynasty. In the seventh year of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan finally decided to hold a new martial arts competition again.When Zhenjin got the news, he hurriedly asked Zhang Yixiu to go to Youzhou to inform Monk Gao. Over the years, Wang Zhuo and Monk Gao have visited Zhenjin twice in Beijing.At the beginning of this year, Mr. Gao, the monk's grandfather, passed away, and Wang Zhuo inherited Mr. Gao's "Hengxiang" medical center.For a long time, Wang Zhuo has been studying medical skills assiduously and has made rapid progress.When old man Gao was alive, he was already able to treat patients independently, and his superb medical skills were not inferior to old man Gao himself.When Wang Zhuo really became the head of the hospital, he worked tirelessly and devoted all his energy to treating patients. Soon, his medical ethics and skills made him famous, and he soon became a famous doctor in dozens of prefectures and counties near Youzhou.

This time, Monk Gao was going to Beijing to participate in a martial arts competition. Wang Zhuo remembered the last words of his mentor, Mr. Gao, who raised him, so he decided to rest in the clinic and accompany Monk to Beijing.Zhang Yi said in the letter that King Yan had the same idea. If the monk can get a good ranking, Wang Zhuo might as well stay in the capital to practice medicine.The capital has gathered millions of people from all over the world. Here, Wang Zhuo may come into contact with more cases, which will be of great help to the improvement of medical skills. In a blink of an eye, there were only five days left before the official start of the competition. Monk Gao had been practicing martial arts in Zhang's mansion all this time. He couldn't stay any longer, so he left Zhang's mansion and came to the streets to relax.

The Zhang residence is not far from South Street.There are many shops on South Street, and there are a variety of goods.Unknowingly, Monk Gao strolled from South Street to East Street. This place seemed to be more prosperous and lively than South Street.Monk Gao thought to himself, Dadu is worthy of being a cosmopolitan capital, not to mention the many shops on the street, just the fact that people of all skin colors come and go on the street is enough to make people fascinated and proud. Monk Gao stood at the street corner watching the juggling for a long time, threw down a few bounties, and was about to leave, "Stop!" A girl's voice came to his ears, Monk Gao didn't think it was calling him, and continued to walk forward go.

"Wait." Someone patted Monk Gao on the shoulder, and Monk Gao stopped. It turned out to be a young guard dressed as a general. "do what?" "Didn't you hear our... Miss calling you?" The warrior scolded impatiently. Only then did Monk Gao realize that a girl was standing not far from him, her eyes were fixed on the sword at his waist.The girl was surrounded by more than ten guards. "What do you want me to do?" "Show me your sword." The girl's voice was full of curiosity, and a look of longing appeared on her pretty face. Monk Gao involuntarily took off the sword with both hands, and handed it to the girl respectfully.It wasn't his intention, but for some reason, the girl's sweet face was irresistible to him.

The girl examined the sword with an expression of appreciation on her face. "What kind of sword is this? Where did you get it?" "It's called the Lu Chuan Sword. It was left to me by my master." The girl looked away from the sword for a moment, and landed on the monk Gao, "I like this sword very much, please sell it to me." Monk Gao was taken aback.Back then when he studied art with a teacher, his master presented this sword to him before he died of illness. He always regarded it as a treasure and never showed it to others easily. "Miss, this sword is a gift from the villain's master, and it is a favorite of the villain. Anything else that the villain wants, the villain will give it with both hands. Only this sword, I hope the lady will give it back to the villain." Gao Monk approached pleadingly.

The girl curled her lips: "I never said I wanted you for nothing, I can buy it with a lot of money." "Even if the wealth of the country is overwhelming, the villain will never give it away." Monk Gao was really anxious, and his tone became tough. The girl sneered: "Anything that the girl likes, there is nothing she can't get." "No one can get what you don't want to give." "You!" the girl said angrily unwillingly, "You are a daring lunatic, you dare to contradict this girl! Are you impatient with life?" "I'd rather not live—give me back the sword!"

Following the words, Gao Monk unexpectedly reached out to grab the girl's wrist.The girl screamed in fright, and threw away the sword. Monk Gao had already caught the sword firmly, "Return it to its original owner. Miss, I have offended you." He put the sword back into its sheath as he spoke. The girl was stunned.Monk Gao didn't touch her hand, he just made a gesture. The problem is that she has never suffered this kind of grievance from the novel. She hates Monk Gao to the core. More than ten guards surrounded the high monk in an instant, and they would smash the high monk's body to pieces as soon as the girl gave an order.

"Princess, Princess Nine, Princess Nine!" An eager voice made everyone follow the prestige. Zhang Yizheng squeezed into the crowd anxiously, his face covered with beads of sweat. "Ninth Princess, please forgive me." Zhang Yi raised his official robe and knelt in front of the girl.The high monk looked at the girl in surprise, and only then realized that he had caused a catastrophe. "Do you know this kid?" Ninth Princess curled her lips and asked dismissively. "Yes, he is a guest at the minister's house. He is here to participate in the martial arts competition. Princess, please look at the old man's face. The adults don't count the faults of the villains, so please forgive him this time. Come on, monk, give it to the princess. apologize."

Monk Gao stood stubbornly, motionless.The conflict with Princess Nine was really unexpected, but he didn't think it was his fault. He didn't understand why he wanted to make an apology? "Ah, you child, you are too ignorant, hurry up." Zhang Yi anxiously stretched out his hand to pull Monk Gao, but Monk Gao still stood upright. The nine princesses looked at the high monk. "Is he really here to participate in the martial arts competition?" "It's absolutely true, it was King Yan who entrusted his minister to write a letter asking him to come." "When did he know my brother Zhenjin again?"

"It's a long story." Zhang Yi told Ninth Princess in detail about the time when Monk Gao followed his grandfather into Yanshan seven years ago and got to know Zhenjin. The expression on his face eased a little. . "That's right. Anyway, I'm just looking at you and brother Zhenjin, and I don't care about him for the time being. But, brat, let me tell you, one day, sooner or later, I will get your Lu Chuan sword. " After the ninth princess finished speaking, she left with her guards.Monk Gao leaned over and helped Zhang Yi up, Zhang Yi let out a long breath. "I said, monk, why are you not easy to provoke? Why do you provoke her? This nine princesses are the youngest daughter of Da Khan. Da Khan and the queen have always been spoiled by something. Normally, even our King Yan Give her a little bit. You are lucky if she doesn't blame you today. Why are you so disobedient when the old man asks you to make an apology?" "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I give her an apology? Could it be that she is a princess, so she can order her around and do whatever she wants?" Zhang Yi was both angry and happy: "Oh, you child, you are born with a stubborn temper that can't be pulled back! By the way, what are you doing here?" "I feel bored, just wander around." "That's all right, there's a big trouble coming! You go back to the mansion immediately with the old man. You should practice more kung fu in the back garden these few days, and don't come out to cause trouble again." "Oh." Monk Gao reluctantly agreed. A few days later, Monk Gao participated in the first martial arts competition, overcame all the heroes, and successfully entered the next round of competition.The competition in the next three days became more intense. Monk Gao lived up to the expectations of the real gold, passed all the way, and finally became the third veritable champion of martial arts in the dynasty. At that time, just before the "Longevity Festival", in order to reward the top ten fighters in this contest, Kublai Khan issued a decree to allow ten of them to participate in the "Longevity Festival".Among the ten warriors, there is the second-ranked "Wrestling King" Habur and the third-ranked Yidu Qianhu King.Wang Zhu's ancestral home was in Shandong, and his father lived in Qianhu, an official residence in Yidu.During the competition, Monk Gao and Wang Zhu exchanged martial arts skills and forged a deep friendship. Kublai Khan loved watching wrestling competitions all his life, and this competition was routinely held at the "Longevity Festival" banquet.When the well-known Mongolian wrestling king Habur appeared in the center of the hall, everyone cheered together. Hubbard glanced at everyone with a haughty expression, and all the hustle and bustle suddenly fell silent. Habr stood for a long time, but no one dared to compete with him. Hubbard showed displeasure.He didn't think that everyone's reluctance to fight was awe of him, but that they deliberately embarrassed him.If it wasn't for such a festive and solemn occasion, he would have walked away long ago. Monk Gao saw Prince Zhenjin beckoning him to go up to the challenge with his eyes, and immediately stood up and walked to the field. Habr finally waited for someone who dared to challenge, and he immediately beamed with joy.He had fought against the high monk in the martial arts arena, but he had never tried wrestling. He really didn't pay much attention to this martial arts champion who was one size smaller than him in size and figure. In Mobei wrestling, the outcome is usually determined by one battle, unless the loser refuses to accept, and the winner agrees to compete again.Gao Monk secretly estimated Habur's strength, and did not dare to attack rashly. Huber has always taken the initiative before the battle, and this time is no exception.Above the main hall, there was no sound, and all eyes were on the two warriors on the field. Facing the aggressive Habur, Monk Gao took his time and took the fight very seriously and patiently.He is also the top wrestler in the Central Plains, and his experience and self-confidence have given him confidence.He has escaped Habul's dangerous attack several times, especially one time when Habul raised him over his head and dropped him heavily, and he squatted on the ground miraculously.This move alone has won applause from all the halls, and even Habr himself gave him a thumbs up. Monk Gao and Habul fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, and Habul took the initiative to ask for a draw.Monk Gao couldn't ask for more.All the people watching the battle let out a long sigh of relief. Although they didn't see the two warriors decide the winner, their outstanding performance was enough for everyone to feast their eyes on. Kublai Khan twitched his beard and laughed loudly.Zhenjin often praised Gao Monk's courage in front of him, and today he can only believe what he sees.As a reward, he ordered his beloved daughter Princess Nine to toast the two warriors in person. The nine princesses stepped down from Danchi and paid homage to Habur first.Thanks to Habr, he took the wine and drank it down in one gulp. Princess Nine filled a glass of wine and looked at Monk Gao with a half-smile.Monk Gao wanted to take the wine glass, but Princess Jiu loosened her hand, and the wine glass slipped down. Everyone was shocked.Princess Nine's complexion changed immediately: "How dare you drop the wine glass, you obviously don't pay attention to me! Father sweat, queen mother, you have to make decisions for your daughter!" Nine princesses turned their heads and said while crying, Her face was filled with tears, as if she had suffered a great grievance. The high monk was so frightened that his soul went out of his body.He knew that Princess Jiu had dropped the wine glass on purpose, but he still couldn't say that.It is the highest courtesy for the princess to offer wine. If the wine glass falls to the ground, you will be punished for disrespect if you don’t kill your head. Helplessly, the high monk knelt down on both knees and begged for mercy: "Damn the villain! Damn the villain! Please forgive me, princess!" The crime of inadvertent offense.” Ninth Princess wiped away her tears and refused to let go: "Since you know you deserve to die, how can you forgive your sin?" "Princess, the villain didn't mean it. I hope the princess will find out." The nine princesses almost whispered: "If I knew today, why bother?" She raised her voice again, "What's unintentional? Don't argue!" She turned and knelt down in front of her father, "If Father doesn't make decisions for his daughter, what else can a daughter have?" Live in the world with face? It’s better to die.” Kublai Khan only saw the wine glass fall to the ground, but he didn't see clearly how it fell.Now hearing his daughter keep asking him to make the decision, he can't make up his mind.The daughter has been spoiled since she was a child, and she can't bear the slightest grievance. If she doesn't follow her, if the daughter can't think about it, wouldn't the father regret it for the rest of his life?If you want to follow her, Monk Gao didn't mean it, and he is the number one scholar in the new science and martial arts, so how can you just punish the crime? Zhen Jin has always loved Monk Gao, and now that the matter has come to an end, he doesn't bother to think about it, and goes forward to give a deep salute to his sister: "Jiumei, how bold is Monk Gao, dare to humiliate you? On his face, hold your hand high, and let him forgive this time." The Ninth Princess was silent for a moment unwillingly: "Forget it, capital crimes can be forgiven, and living crimes will not be forgiven." "What does Ninth Sister want?" "For my brother's sake, let's... fine him with three days' imprisonment." Monk Gao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the revenge of the nine princesses can be described as unique. Zhang Yi quietly wiped the cold sweat off his head. Zhen Jin knew that his sister had made a big concession, so he couldn't say anything more, so he just expressed his apology to Monk Gao with his eyes.Monk Gao was very calm, thanked the emperor for his kindness, and then turned to the ninth princess: "Thank you princess for not killing me." Ninth Princess snorted coldly and did not answer. Kublai Khan saw that the high monk had a peaceful attitude, without any trace of resentment, and deeply felt that this man was extraordinary, able to bend and stretch.He ordered people to take down the high monk, as a way to vent his anger on his beloved daughter, but he made up his mind to reuse this martial arts champion in the future. Ninth Princess finally turned her anger into joy.
