Military Genius Came To Another World with Zizhi Tongjian
Chapter 35: A man who became a knight in only twenty-four days
The morning of September 3, 289, in the Imperial Calendar of Britannia.
Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, inside the Chamber.
Inside the chamber, as before, the ministers stood on the left side of the chamber, and the knights stood on the right side of the chamber.
Everyone present understands why they are summoned into this chamber today.
Today, there will be a rewards meeting on meritorious deeds and rewards for the coach Su Cheng who has just led 5,000 people to defeat the 30,000 rebels.
The emperor has not arrived yet, so the people in the chamber gathered in twos and threes to talk together.
"I really didn't expect that the young man actually succeeded. With a huge strength of 1 to 6, he would be able to defeat the rebel army with only a few hundred casualties."
"Didn't it mean that he has never led a soldier?"
"I really didn't expect it. It seems that his military talents are extremely high. I am afraid that both Alisha and Enli are far behind him."
"It is said that he is only 17 years old this year."
"I don't know what reward he will get?"
"This Su Cheng's identity is very special. He is not a member of the army, but only a teacher to His Royal Highness Ilsa. I think it's probably just to seal him some money."
"If you just reward him with money, then this Su Cheng will get so much money that he doesn't need to be a teacher anymore!"
"If he is a member of the army, how good he would be. If he is a member of the army, he will definitely be trained. If he is a member of the army, then I think the probability of him becoming a unified knight is far greater than that of Ellie. Where's Sha and Enli."
...
Issel, Alyssa, and Enli stood at the front of the right side of the chamber.
Alisha and Enli both had gloomy faces, especially Alisha. When someone said that Su Cheng's military talent may be higher than Alisha, her face became even more ugly.
And Enli is not much better, his teeth are clenched.
The two people who originally planned to watch Su Cheng's jokes are still unable to accept the fact that Su Cheng, who has never joined the army and has never led a soldier, actually succeeded in defeating the 30,000 army with only 5,000 men.
Enli roared in his heart:
How did he do it? ! Why can he do it? !
After realizing that the two of them were in the wrong state, Issel said softly: "I always told you before, don’t underestimate anyone, let alone be complacent. The reason why you can be proud and complacent now is because you haven’t found it yet. That person who is stronger than you is nothing."
After hearing Ithel's words, Alyssa and Enli's faces became even more ugly.
"Father," Alisha whispered, "What kind of reward do you think Su Cheng will receive?"
Issel thought for a while, then whispered:
"Should be rewarded some money, after all, he Su Cheng is neither a member of the army nor a member of the political circle. He is just a teacher. There is no way to reward him for promotion. This merit cannot reward him for the title, so he should also Just reward him with a sum of money that will last a lifetime."
Speaking of this, Iselton took a while, and then continued:
"It's just... I got the news. Yesterday afternoon, Jacob invited Su Cheng to his mansion for afternoon tea. Su Cheng stayed in Jacob's mansion for a long time before coming out... My instinct told me that I was right today. Su Cheng’s award should not be that simple..."
"It won't be that simple?" Enli said in a humble tone. "Could it be possible to directly enshrine him as a knight? In this way, Alyssa's record of'the fastest man to become a knight' will be broken. "
Alisha cheered Enli on the side with her elbow with a ugly expression.
"Do you think it's possible?" Alisha said in a deep voice, "How can it be possible to become a knight only with a battle..."
Isel, who has been paying attention to Alisha and Enli, noticed that the faces of the two are still very bad, so he said:
"What? Are you still very unconvinced? Su Cheng defeated 30,000 people with 5,000 people."
After hearing Ithel’s words, Alyssa and Enli both became silent with great understanding.
After a while, Alisha squeezed out words between her teeth:
"This time... I missed my eyes... I didn't expect that Su Cheng really had two accidents..."
"Oh...you two." Issel sighed heavily, "This world, it's not just that you two are geniuses. Take this opportunity to remember this truth."
"I'm now..." Issel muttered to himself, "I also have to think hard about how to pull Su Cheng into the army. Such a talent, just being a teacher, is too wasteful... I have to Think of a way to pull Su Cheng into the army..."
"Mr. Ithel!"
Just then, a familiar old voice came from behind Ithel.
Ithel immediately recognized who the owner of this voice was—Jacob!
Issel turned his head and found that Jacob was standing behind him with a smile that seemed like a rumor.
After seeing Jacob standing behind them, Alyssa and Enli hurriedly saluted Jacob.
And Jacob waved his hand to indicate that he did not need to salute.
"Mr. Jacob," Issel frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"
The reason Issel asks this is because when the meeting was opened in the chamber, Jacob, as the minister of the imperial palace, usually followed the Emperor Gozewen and entered the chamber through the side door of the chamber. Of.
And today, Jacob didn't even follow the emperor to enter through the side door as usual-it's really rare.
After hearing Issel’s questioning, Jacob just smiled slightly, and said:
"The reason why I am here is to tell Mr. Issel good news."
"Good news?" Issel said in a puzzled manner, "What good news?"
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about how to pull Su Cheng into the army anymore."
"!"
As soon as Jacob's voice fell, Ithel's eyes widened in vain.
Because after listening to Jacob, he seemed to realize something.
"Mr. Ithel." Jacob said quietly with a smile on his face. "You have to be quicker and more decisive in doing things in the future. Otherwise, someone might have helped you to do this while you are still thinking about the battle plan. Things are done."
"Jacob...you can't be—"
just then—
"Your Majesty the Emperor is here!"
came a very loud voice.
The people who gathered together in twos and threes in the chamber to talk, quickly ended the conversation and stood back to their place. The chaotic chamber became quiet in an instant, and people stood neatly and waited quietly. To the coming emperor.
Emperor Ge Zewen walked in through the side door of the chamber, dressed in full costume.
Although Ge Zewen was not walking fast, the side door was very close to the emperor's throne. Soon Ge Zewen came to the throne and sat down.
After seeing that Gozewen was already seated on the throne, Jacob stopped paying attention to Issel next to him. With his hands on his back, he stepped up the stairs and stood beside Ge Zewen.
"I think everyone here understands what we are going to do in the chamber today." Ge Zewen said, "I don't like nonsense, so let's just start! !"
After Ge Zewen finished speaking, he looked at Jacob beside him and gave Jacob a look.
Working with Ge Zewen for many years, Jacob, who had a tacit understanding with each other, immediately understood, took a few steps forward, and said loudly:
"Call! Su Cheng!"
...
Click, click, click...
There were rhythmic footsteps outside the chamber, neither fast nor slow.
Everyone in the chamber turned their heads.
A man with black hair and black eyes, with features that look like a prairie man but a little bit less like a prairie man, is slowly walking into the chamber.
The man had no expression on his face, and he was dressed in shabby but exceptionally clean clothes. This shabby clothes exudes a shabby atmosphere all the time.
Wearing this shabby clothing, Su Cheng entered the chamber. Compared with the other gorgeously dressed people in the chamber, Su Cheng looked so out of place, even a little bit funny.
But no one in the chamber now dared to laugh.
Because they all know that this shabby man, a few days ago, in only 21 days, defeated 30,000 insurgents with 5,000 men and returned smoothly.
Alyssa looked at Su Cheng, who was walking slowly to the emperor, with a complex face. She was always arrogant and arrogant, and she couldn't accept the fact that Su Cheng won more with less and returned with a big victory.
And Enli's eyes looked at Su Cheng, similar to Alisha.
Soon, Su Cheng came to Ge Zewen, then knelt down on one knee, clenched his right hand into a fist and held it on the ground, lowering his head.
Jacob took a piece of paper from the guard beside him, then stretched it out, looked at the piece of paper and read aloud:
"Su Cheng, on August 10, 289 of the Imperial Calendar, led an army of 5000 to defeat 30,000 rebels, successfully decapitated the heads of the 3 leaders of the rebels and brought them back, put down this rebellion, and made great contributions to the empire. I am grateful for Su Cheng’s contribution, and bestowed Su Cheng money-8 million york! And named Su Cheng as -"
Jacob put down the paper in his hand, took a deep breath, suffocated his breath, and shouted:
"Xingui knight!"
...
Silence.
strangely silent
The whole chamber became silent.
Everyone in the hall was stunned, their eyes turned to Su Cheng who was kneeling on one knee.
Everyone's expressions became wonderful and diverse, some were dumbfounded, and some couldn't believe it.
Alisha looked at Su Cheng with a shocked face, her attractive red lips slightly opened.
Enri murmured: "Impossible...How is this possible..."
And Issel folded his arms around his chest, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "So that's it... Jacob, have you helped me pull Su Cheng into the army... and also directly helped him become a new knight... This is really..."
Then, Issel smiled bitterly and shook his head.
...
After a short silence, the whole chamber suddenly became noisy.
"Xingui knight? I heard that right? You want to make this Su Cheng Xingui knight?"
"This can't be described as a step up to the sky, right? Captain of the ten-man team and captain of the thousand-man team have not been performed for a day, and he has become a knight directly?"
"Anyway, this is going up too fast, right? After only one battle, I was made a knight?!"
"It's only 24 days from the day he started playing, right? It only took 24 days to become a knight? Who is the one we are the fastest to become a knight now?"
"I remember it was Eliza, the daughter of Lord Ithel. She joined the army at the age of 15 and spent 1 year and 10 months becoming a knight. She was the fastest person to become a knight before today."
"It seems that Alyssa's record has been broken! Alyssa took 1 year and 10 months to become a knight, while Su Cheng only took 24 days to become a knight!"
"Being a knight in 24 days... is that too exaggerated?! I am afraid that no one can break this record in the future."
"On the top of the New Gui Knight is the Double Oak Knight, then the Fanlan Knight, the Four Royal Knights, and finally the Unified Knight. It took Su Cheng 24 days to become the New Gui Knight. I don’t know how long it will take him to become the Double Oak Knight. , Is it possible to become a unified knight..."
...
The meeting room became chaotic, and the chattering sounded one after another. Jacob frowned, paused, and then said:
"Quiet!"
After sensed the displeasure in Jacob's voice, the people in the conversation closed their mouths obediently, and the whole chamber became quiet again.
Seeing the chamber that had become quiet again, Jacob nodded in satisfaction, and then retreated to the back of Emperor Gozewen.
And Ge Zewen had already accepted a beautiful-looking sword from the guard on the side.
A white delicate long sword with a hilt from the scabbard to the guard.
Ge Zewen stood up and walked in front of Su Cheng.
"Then, Su Cheng." Jacob said, "Please read your knight's oath."
After learning that the knight's oath needs to be read, Su Cheng opened his mouth and said loudly:
"I will protect those who cannot fight."
"I will destroy the evil people."
"I will take back the sword from the civilians."
"I will be honest with my compatriots."
"I will defend the Britannia empire to the death! Until I shed my last drop of blood!"
These 5 oaths were taken by Su Cheng long last night. Before entering this chamber, he was also reviewing these 5 oaths repeatedly.
Yesterday Jacob told him that when he was named a knight, he needed to call out this oath aloud. Jacob also asked him specifically not to recite the wrong oath.
After hearing Su Cheng's oath, Ge Zewen drew out the exquisitely shaped sword in his hand, lay it flat, and put it on Su Cheng's right shoulder.
"I am here, officially canonize you as the new knight!"
After Ge Zewen shouted loudly, he inserted the sword back into the scabbard, and then held the sword in both hands and held it directly above Su Cheng's head.
And Su Cheng also raised his hands in time, holding the sword over his head.
This is the last part of the knight's ceremonial ceremony. Every knight will receive a sword from the emperor. This sword is of great significance to the knight. People call this sword the "knight sword", which is equivalent to A status symbol, only with this sword that you took from the emperor, you can be regarded as a real knight! If you accidentally make a mistake, the sword will be revoked as a knight, and the sword will be taken back by His Majesty the Emperor.
So this sword is more important than life for some knights who value reputation.
Su Cheng took the sword from Ge Zewen, and at this point, the knight's canonization ceremony was over.
Su Cheng handed the sword to his left hand, then stood up and turned to face the people in the chamber behind him.
Everyone's eyes in the chamber were focused on Su Cheng.
Suddenly, there was applause.
Issel is applauding.
Issel looked at Su Cheng who was holding the knight's sword in his forehand with a gratified expression on his face.
Issel's applause seemed so abrupt in the silent chamber.
However, soon some people applauded. The applause became louder and louder, and the applause spread rapidly. Soon, everyone in the chamber clapped their hands, even Gozewen and Jacob. Also smiling and applauding.
While Eliza was biting her lower lip while gently clapping her hands, although the applause was very small, it was so small that the mosquito hum was louder than her applause, and her face was full of unwillingness.
Alyssa loves her title of "the fastest man to become a knight in the history of the Britannia Empire", which is her most proud and proud title.
However, I did not expect that from today, her favorite title will no longer belong to her.
Starting today, this title belongs to the person she had looked down upon.
At the thought of this, Alisa felt intensely unwilling!
This emotion called "unwilling", UU reading www.uukanshu.com almost burst out of her chest.
At this time, Enli, who was standing next to Alisha, not only did not applaud, but his complexion was still quite bad.
Because he suddenly remembered at this moment, Eliza’s conditions for choosing a spouse: I am a knight, and I only want to find a husband who is also a knight, but I will only like knights who are stronger than me!
Now... Su Cheng is also a knight...
is still one... a knight who can beat 30,000 people with 5000 people without any experience, and it only took 24 days to become a new knight knight...
At the thought of this, a strong sense of anxiety and fear enveloped Enli's body!
Enli raised his eyes and cast a bit of resentment on Su Cheng who was standing on the stairs.
Inside the meeting room, there were some cheers accompanied by applause.
Everyone is celebrating, sincerely or feignly, that the empire has a new knight, and the empire has a rising star!
Su Cheng listened to the rain-like applause and cheers one after another. He couldn't help but burst into a wave of pride. The corners of his mouth couldn't help being turned up slightly, and the five fingers of the knight sword couldn't help but grasp harder. , Firmly grasped the knight sword in his hand in the palm of his hand!
I Su Cheng, now I am the new knight of the Britannia Empire!
...
The Chronicles of the Britannia Empire states:
On September 3, 289 of the Britannia Imperial Calendar, Su Cheng was canonized as a new knight, breaking the previous record of “the fastest knight to be a knight” by Alyssa. The total time it took for Alyssa to become a knight 1 year and 10 months, and the total time it takes for Su Cheng to become the new knight of kwai is-24 days!
