Chapter 288: A Deadly Long Run
"Whew, snort, swoop・・・・・・" Bai Xiaode breathed as quickly as a cow, as if he had just been fished out of the water, and the sweat all over his body kept dripping.
Nan Jiyun, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Fugu Huaien and others are almost as tired as dead dogs, and the others are a little better, Guo Ziyi is already in his forties after all, Li Guangbi is also in his thirties, and his physical strength is declining, how can he be compared with Nan Jiyun, Bai Xiaode, Fugu Huaien and others? His throat was like fire, and his legs were as heavy as Tarzan.
Among these people, Nan Jiyun and Bai Xiaode are at the forefront, especially Nan Jiyun, who is strong and slender, without the slightest fat on his body, and has been training in the military camp during this time, and his physical fitness is at his peak.
Running and running, Nan Jiyun found that there was another person running in front of him not far in front, he tried to use Zhao Ziliang to teach him to adjust his breathing, and after a while, he felt less uncomfortable, and his pace began to be steady.
It didn't take long for him to catch up with the person in front of him, as long as he surpassed this person, he was the first person to run, and at this time, several people in the audience outside the runway shouted: "Cui Qianyou, run, someone behind is catching up!" ”
"It turns out that this guy's name is Cui Qianyou!" When Nan Jiyun surpassed Cui Qianyou, he turned his head slightly to look at this person and remembered the name.
"Why, you want to surpass so-and-so? No way! Cui Qianyou was furious in his heart, and then gritted his teeth and quickened his pace, but his left hand reached out to grab Nan Jiyun, Nan Jiyun was defenseless, and the shoulder armor leaf on his arm was grabbed by Cui Qianyou, and his body was immediately beaten, and he was almost pulled to the ground, and he was also overtaken by Cui Qianyou.
"Damn it, bastard!" Nan Jiyun was furious and cursed in his mouth, but his body reacted quickly. Again quickened his pace to catch up, and shouted, "Despicable villain! You wait for so-and-so, you want to win the first place, no way! ”
The two enemies in the fate still met together at this moment and had irreconcilable hatred, Cui Qianyou is a person who has been trained in the Cui family to practice martial arts, not only proficient in the art of war, but also excellent in martial arts, this time he was ordered by the head of the Cui family to seize the champion of martial arts, he saw that someone actually surpassed him, how could he accept it. Therefore, he subconsciously went to pull Nan Jiyun, and almost pulled Nan Jiyun down.
Zhao Ziliang, who was sitting on the examination seat early, frowned, but Chen Xuanli, who was beside him, was furious, and slapped the table and shouted: "How can this be so unreasonable, how can you be so despicable?" Come, give General Ben the arrest of the man, and disqualify him."
An examiner next to him immediately agreed: "No! ”
Zhao Ziliang raised his palm and said, "Wait!" ”
Chen Xuanli saw Zhao Ziliang stopping him, but he was a little displeased, "General Zhao." Why block? How can such a villain be allowed to enter the army and take up important positions? ”
Zhao Ziliang asked rhetorically: "On what grounds did General Chen disqualify him?" ”
"Of course, he is despicable and obscene, and he uses such inferior means to prevent others from winning the first place," Chen Xuanli said with confidence.
Zhao Ziliang said coldly: "Is there such a rule in the exam?" ”
Chen Xuanli was stunned: "Uh・・・・・・"
Zhao Ziliang turned his head and continued to look at the examination room, and continued: "Whether it's a literary or a martial art. The imperial examination is a carp leaping over the dragon gate for anyone who participates, not only relying on its own strength, but also relying on luck and its own efforts. With so many people participating, of course there is competition, which is also a means of competition. When fighting on foot, there are people who are killed by mistake, so what is so strange about this method? Do you know who this person is being pulled? His name is Nan Jiyun, he was recommended by a certain to enter the Zuo Jin Wuwei army, speaking of which he is a certain doorman, of course he doesn't want him to be treated unfairly, but at this moment, a certain can't help him, otherwise it will be unfair to others, since he has stepped into this examination room, he must rely on himself! ”
Chen Xuanli was stunned, he didn't expect that it was Zhao Ziliang's disciple who was pulled, Zhao Ziliang, as Nan Jiyun's backer, not only did not help, but also prevented him from coming forward, Chen Xuanli was completely convinced at this time, and said to Zhao Ziliang: "General Zhao has a broad mind, and he can't do it!" ”
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "It's all for Your Majesty and the court, General Chen doesn't need to be polite, so many preparations for this martial arts test are completed by us and others, and now we can only work together to make this test a success, in order to complete the tasks entrusted to me by Your Majesty, it is completely impossible to rely on one person alone, General Chen is indispensable!" ”
Chen Xuanli sighed: "No wonder many officials in the DPRK and China are dissatisfied with you, but no one has a personal enmity with you.
Zhao Ziliang hurriedly said: "Zhao is still young, and he still needs to ask the general for advice in many aspects, the general must not be like this, let's continue to pay attention to the emotions in the examination room."
Chen Xuanli nodded, did not speak again, and turned his gaze to the candidates who were running on the school ground.
At this time, on the school track, Nan Jiyun was just chasing behind Cui Qianyou, and the sound of his running kept entering Cui Qianyou's ears, making Cui Qianyou think that he was about to catch up, and he was afraid that he would be grabbed by Nan Jiyun and pulled him back, so he kept accelerating, accelerating, and accelerating again, so he ran for several miles, Cui Qianyou consumed too much physical energy, and soon became exhausted, feeling that his chest was about to explode, extremely uncomfortable, and his legs began to become heavy.
Cui Qianyou also knew that he had consumed too much physical strength, and if he didn't slow down, he would inevitably die of exhaustion on the school field, but the footsteps of Nan Jiyun behind him were like the footsteps of the Grim Reaper, so he couldn't stop at all.
Gradually, Cui Qianyou felt that his legs were no longer his own, and he wanted to exert himself but couldn't do anything, no matter what, he could no longer run as fast as before, and his speed involuntarily decreased, and he could only watch Nan Jiyun pass him again, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand at this time, but he still saw Nan Jiyun's mocking smile, this smile was so hateful!
Cui Qianyou, who was surpassed, no longer had that spirit at this time, he was surpassed by many people in a row, and he didn't want to fight for the first place at this time, he just wanted to be one of the four hundred people running in front, so that he could enter the next round of martial arts exams.
At this time, many martial artists in the school field cursed in their hearts the people who came up with this exam method, an hour of running, this is simply life-threatening, if it is in normal times, it is estimated that most people can run for two hours, but this is a knockout game, it is a matter of future and fate, who can not fight for their lives? You can't be lazy, after all, only the four hundred people who run in front can enter the next round of riding stage, and being lazy will be overtaken by the people behind, and once they are overtaken, it will be even more difficult to catch up.
And some people are so tired at this time that they don't even have the mood and strength to curse in their hearts, and they may fall down at any time, but they are persevering and persisting for that glimmer of hope.
And most people know that they are hopeless at this time, even if they try their best, they can't catch up with the people in front, and the candidates who don't have the slightest hope of entering the top 400 simply give up automatically, walk down the track, and are soon run over by the nearby examiners to take away the waist card, once the waist card is taken away, it is equivalent to disqualification.
There are many people who have chosen to give up in a hopeless situation, and there are only about 500 people on the track, although only 400 people can enter the afternoon riding competition, but there are still more than 100 people who are running at the back of the race, they still have a little hope, if there is no hope to enter the top 400, they have given up a long time ago, and no one wants to give up today's opportunity until the end.
Zhao Ziliang watched the candidates who gave up one after another get down from the runway, some of them lay on the ground and didn't move, only gasping for breath, and then looked at the faltering appearance of the more than 100 people who still insisted on the last, he was really worried that these people would go into shock in the end, so he beckoned to the left palm of the military selection department of the military department sitting next to him.
When Zuo Zhanggu saw it, he immediately walked over and arched his hand: "General! ”
Zhao Ziliang asked, "Is there a doctor in the examination room?" ”
"Healer? Yes, there are fifteen doctors in the examination room ready to save people at any time, and the general means ・・・・・・" Zuo Zhanggu asked suspiciously.
Zhao Ziliang was relieved, nodded and praised: "It's okay, you guys are very well prepared, this is very good, you look at the more than 100 people who ran at the end, they haven't given up hope yet, the more these people may be in the end, the more dangerous they may be, that is, the physical consumption is too great, they may run to death." Someone killed someone by mistake in the foot combat competition, we can't control it, but now this kind of person will not die immediately, if you have the opportunity to rescue it, you must rescue it, you must not give up, you send someone to tell those doctors, be ready to save people! ”
Left palm Gu arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, general, the lower official will go in person!" ”
"Well, go ahead!"
Approaching 12 o'clock at noon, the competition became more and more fierce, and the few people who ran in the front were competing for the first place with all their might, and some people who ran in the back were also desperate, hoping to enter the top 400.
Sure enough, as Zhao Ziliang expected, some of the people who ran behind fell to the ground and couldn't get up, and immediately a nearby referee ran over to carry him off the runway for the doctors to rescue.
There was the first and the second, and there were more than a dozen people who were in shock due to severe physical exertion, and there were not enough doctors to carry out the rescue.
When the end of the gong sounded, all the candidates who were still insisting on finally couldn't hold on, most of them stopped and knelt on the ground, sitting, lying down, all kinds of postures, the nearby referees immediately shouted that everyone should not stop, to continue to walk, the names and participation numbers of the top 400 and the place of origin have long been recorded, as for the remaining more than 100 people were naturally eliminated.
