Thrown Into the Wolf's Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year Chapter 223

 At that time, Shen Ningning was still in class.

 Chen Shaobei saw her carriage parked outside the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies and was about to walk over and ask her driver to go find Shen Ningning for him.

However, as soon as he reached the carriage, someone happened to lift the curtain and come out.

Jiang Zhi and Chen Shaobei looked at each other, and both of them were stunned.

"You still dare to come?" Jiang Zhi took out the kitchen knife from her waist and pressed it against Chen Shaobei's collar: "You noble people know how to bully a child. Why are you here? Do you want to make Sister Ningning cry? Make her sad?"

Chen Shaobei was not in a hurry to answer. He lowered his cold and serious eyes and looked at the kitchen knife at his throat.

It is estimated that Jiang Zhi sharpened it for self-defense. The handle of the knife was tied with a circle of red rope.

He picked up the oil paper bag in his hand, looked unfazed, and replied calmly: "I'm here to deliver cakes to the princess, but the main thing is to find you. Since you are here, it's just right."

Jiang Zhi's suspicious eyes turned from the oil paper bag back to Chen Shaobei.

 “What do you want to do with me? Tell me.”

“Not long ago, my father will hold a martial arts competition at the racecourse to select thirty soldiers. You have good skills. I recommend you to take part in the selection.”

“I won't go.” Jiang Zhi refused without thinking.

Chen Shaobei's tone was calm and patient: "Don't refuse in a hurry. If you are really selected, it will not only be as simple as a government soldier, but also my father or the guards around me."

"With this status, if you follow us into battle to kill the enemy in the future, the imperial court will directly promote you to a high-grade military commander after you return to the court."

To put it bluntly, he gave Jiang Zhi a shortcut to becoming an official.

 Ordinary generals must participate in rigorous military exercises at all levels.

But you can also use this method to first serve as a soldier under the command of the general in the court.

 When you find a suitable opportunity and return from killing the enemy on the battlefield, you can directly enter the court.

 But Jiang Zhi still disagreed.

 She put the kitchen knife on her waist again and laughed in a tomboyish tone.

“Even if you say it's all fantastic, I won't go. We met by chance, how could you be so kind and provide me with this opportunity?”

 “If you have nothing to do to show your courtesy, the chicken will give the weasel New Year's greetings!” She folded her arms and leaned on the shaft of the car.

Chen Shaobei was helpless and said in a calm voice: "It's a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a rooster, but I don't have bad intentions."

Jiang Zhi glanced at him from the corner of her eyes: "You don't have to say it anymore, I will never go to the martial arts competition anyway."

"Let's not talk about whether I am willing to work in the General's Mansion. Let's just say that in the current situation of Sister Ningning, I should stand by her side, keep a clear distance from you, and avoid suspicion. Do you understand?"

 Chen Shaobei nodded, his eyes as calm as a deep pool without any ripples.

His thin lips curled up slightly and he chuckled.

“Don't you want to give yourself a chance and give your father a chance?”

“How many people are members of the bandit king Jiang Xiaofeng's Tongsheng Fist now? He made great contributions to the court, but he also died at the hands of the court, and no one avenged him.”

"If you can stand in the court with your own ability, one day you will definitely have a chance to clear your father's name."

“Whether your father is a bandit king or a tycoon, when you become powerful, it's just a matter of your words.”

Jiang Zhi was stunned.

The cold wind blew the hair under her felt hat bleakly.

To dress up like a tomboy, she thickened her eyebrows and rubbed a layer of substance onto her face, which made her look yellow and dull.

 However, Chen Shaobei saw up close that her eyes were unparalleledly clear, with a light brown outer ring around her pupils, making her overall facial features appear delicate.

How could there be a boy who looks so like a girl?

 Chen Shaobei thought to himself.

 He could see that Jiang Zhi had many concerns, but he must convince her to agree today.

 It was not that he thought much about Jiang Zhi, but that it was Mo Lingwei who gave him the order to give Jiang Zhi a chance to enter the general's mansion.

Mo Lingwei still wanted to find a way to reconcile with Shen Ningning.

 So, the arrogant Crown Prince gave this arduous task to Chen Shaobei.

In this short moment, Jiang Zhi had already thought about it, and she shook her head: "Forget it, I..." However, before she could finish her words, a soft voice came next to her: "Brother Jiang, you must go to the martial arts competition. General Assembly!"

The two of them turned to look, and saw Shen Ningning running over with her skirt in hand and a book in her hand.

 She was wearing a bright red thick coat with auspicious cloud patterns, with a circle of white rabbit plush on the collar and cuffs, which complemented the little guy's petite and fair face.

Shen Ningning ran to them wearing a pair of white riding boots and jingling bells.

Her face turned red: "I heard what you just said. Brother Jiang, you don't have to refuse such a good opportunity for me."

“I think Uncle Jiang has a spirit in heaven, and he will be particularly happy if he can see you carrying forward his Tongsheng Quan and going into battle to kill the enemy.”

Deep down in her heart, of course Jiang Zhi wanted to go, but she also had a resistance to the imperial court.

However, now that she heard Shen Ningning's encouragement, Jiang Zhi finally felt a little moved.

 Finally, she looked at Chen Shaobei: "Okay, since sister Ningning supports me, I'll give it a try."

Chen Shaobei chuckled: "The martial arts competition will be held in six days. I will come here to pick you up and the princess."

Shen Ningning raised her little head and blinked her round black eyes: "Should I go too?"

Chen Shaobei asked back: "Won't the princess go and cheer for Brother Jiang?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Ningning suddenly smiled and raised her eyebrows: "Yes, then I want to go!"

Chen Shaobei smiled calmly.

He handed the cakes he brought to Shen Ningning: "I heard that the princess likes to eat them, so I bought some and brought them with me. It's getting late, so I left first."

 Having said that, Chen Shaobei got on his horse, his figure neat and handsome.

Jiang Zhi looked at his back and said, "I admire this Chen Shaobei a little bit. He really has the heroic demeanor of a young general."

 After she finished speaking, she couldn't wait for Shen Ningning's response.

 Looking down, Shen Ningning's eyes were red again.

Jiang Zhi was startled and hurriedly got out of the carriage: "What's wrong, sister Ningning, why are you crying again?"

Shen Ningning looked at the cake in her hand and choked up, "Only my brother knows that I like this taste."

“Huh?” Jiang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then became angry: “This Chen Shaobei, I know that as soon as he appears, he will definitely make you cry!”

 She quickly wiped the little guy's tears with her sleeves: "Sister Ningning, don't be sad."

Shen Ningning's little nose was red, and she raised her big misty eyes: "Sister Jiang Zhi, is it possible that my brother is not angry with me anymore?"

Jiang Zhi hesitated for a moment: "This...I'm not sure, maybe..."

 It snowed heavily for two days in a row.

 On the day of the tournament, it finally stopped.

The scorching sun, which has not shown its face for a long time, is shining brightly.

However, the land of Cangyun Kingdom is still covered with ice and snow, and the wind is biting.

A large circular arena has already been set up at the racecourse, and people with lofty ideals from all sides will then board the stage to compete.

 When Shen Ningning arrived, she saw many people outside the venue.

Jiang Zhi glanced at it and was surprised: "Hey, there must be thousands of people here!"

 Wuyangyang.

Chen Ye, who was driving the car, smiled and said: "This is the selection of the Zhenbei General's Office. What we martial arts practitioners desire most is to become a member of the Zhenbei Army. That is something that can honor our ancestors."

 Not because of anything else, just because General Zhenbei participated in countless battles in his life and never lost a single battle.

The reason why Cangyun Kingdom suffered from drought and was not invaded by foreign enemies was precisely because such a tiger and wolf army shocked foreign countries.

After hearing this, Shen Ningning said to Jiang Zhi: "Brother Jiang, you have to behave well in a while, don't be afraid."

She and Jiang Zhi got out of the carriage one after another. Black Wolf King and Lang San also wanted to get out of the crowded carriage.

 However, the little guy pressed the Black Wolf King's mouth and pushed it back.
