Chapter 259 For the Great Cause
Because of this, every athlete tried extra hard in the subsequent competitions, just to be able to touch the claws of Master Tyrant during the award ceremony.

The things on Yu Qiuer and her friends' stall were sold out. Even the handkerchief they were planning to keep for their own use was snatched away because there was a picture of Batian's big head embroidered on one corner of the handkerchief.

The cycling “marathon” is on the last day of the sports meet.

It was originally planned to be a separate event, but taking various factors into consideration, it was temporarily included in the sports meeting, and will be separated out next year.

Zhuge Jinyi took the bicycle from the secretary and waved to Empress Dowager Chen.

He had just learned to ride a bicycle not long ago, and Queen Mother Chen originally did not allow him to participate because of concerns about the danger. But who is Zhuge Jinyi? He is just a fool who likes to challenge the impossible. How could he not participate in such a fun event?
So he begged and persuaded the team leader and joined the team at the last moment of the competition.

Cheng Hai was wearing a red sportswear, and the person next to him was Liang Ye. Both sides of the cement road were filled with family members who came to cheer for the athletes.

Yao Niang was holding the child, and beside her were the child's wet nurse and her personal maid.

The child was holding a small flag with four big words "Daddy Will Win" written on it.

Liang Ye grinned and waved at them.

Hearing the bell ringing, Cheng Hai stepped on the pedal and the red bicycle shot out like an arrow.

Liang Ye's heart trembled, and he hurriedly stepped on the pedal to catch up.

It’s okay to lose to Master Cheng in normal cycling competitions, but he can’t lose in this serious competition. He also wants to bring back a medal.

Empress Dowager Chen held a handkerchief in her hand and looked at Zhuge Jinyi as he stood up and rode his bicycle, her brows furrowed tightly.

In a trance, she seemed to see Zi Jun, but in the blink of an eye, the familiar figure disappeared in the convoy.

That shouldn't be possible. How could someone as steady as the Imperial Master take part in such a dangerous sport?
Empress Dowager Chen was indeed not mistaken, Zijun did participate in the cycling "marathon".

He had always seen Cheng Hai and his group riding bicycles on the cement road outside the city, and he felt itchy, so he went to the grocery store and bought one.

While Zhuge Jinyi was in dire straits under the nose of Empress Dowager Chen every day, Zijun leisurely rode his bicycle to the outskirts of the city to meet Cheng Hai, Old Man Pan and others, and then a group of old men raced on the cement road. His life was so exciting.

Of course he would not miss this cycling "marathon".

Because the distance was too far, he chose to ride slowly at the beginning to conserve his energy.

If those cucumbers were to go at that fast a speed now, they would be exhausted in less than half the distance. But he was an experienced "cyclist" and would not do such a stupid thing.

Yes, the cucumber egg he was talking about was that silly boy Zhuge Jinyi.

After riding for more than ten miles, Zi Jun leisurely passed Zhuge Jinyi, who was panting from exhaustion.

"Boy! You can't do it!" He said this in a very good mood, quickly stepped on the ground, and disappeared from the sight of the black-faced boy.

Zhuge Jinyi: ???
How could the national teacher participate in a "marathon"?
After 30 miles, a supply point appeared on the side of the road with a lot of water and bread. The athletes could stop for a while to drink some water and eat something.

Cheng Hai waved to Xu Yuanzhi, who was in charge of the supply point, and Xu Yuanzhi immediately handed over a bamboo tube of water and a palm-sized piece of bread.

Liang Ye, who followed closely behind, followed suit, and Wang Li quickly handed over the same thing.

The athletes had no intention of stopping to rest.

Several elderly doctors were pulled by people riding bicycles and followed behind the athletes, so that if anyone had an accident, they could provide timely treatment.

However, those who can participate in this competition all know what they are doing, and those who are in poor health will not come to risk their lives.

Doctor Xu and Lu Shan were in the same car, and they were discussing the new type of Ma Fei San that Pan Yingying had mentioned. Pan Yingying wanted to try to transform the Song brothers' drug into a new type of Ma Fei San for use during surgery.

But the research direction is clear, but I have no idea where to start at the moment.

Before, both of them were too busy and had no chance to meet each other. Now that they finally meet, the two old doctors feel like they had met too late and even made an appointment to have tea together in a couple of days.

I can’t think about drinking anymore because I still have to have surgery. Drinking too much will cause my hands to shake, unless I wait until I retire.

Unfortunately, judging from Pan Yingying's attitude, it's still too early for those old doctors to retire.

They didn't know that Pan Yingying had specially prepared a small porcelain bottle of space well water for each of them, just in case these old darlings had any health problems one day so that they could use it.

……

……

Taoyuan City is bustling with activity because of the National Games, while in the capital, many aristocratic families have already started preparing to flee.

The throne under Xiao Shen's buttocks is about to become unstable. Which emperor can't even protect the national treasury?

Xiao Shen was also worried. Recently, when he woke up, there was always a lot of hair on his pillow.

The lost items have not been found yet, and the palace has to live frugally to maintain its operations.

Although Lu Qingqing still looked considerate, Xiao Shen could clearly feel that something was different between them.

Fearing that Xiao Shen would find a way to get money from their families to fill the national treasury, many aristocratic families had already secretly packed up their things and let the capable younger generations of the family take the family property and leave first.

Most people go to Wu County.

Even though Prince Xiao of the Northwest is more orthodox, if Prince Xiao inherits the throne in the future, it would be legitimate, while following Prince Chen would be the merit of following the dragon, so of course they would choose the latter without hesitation.

Chen Qinyu didn't know what her considerations were, but she accepted all the noble families in the past, and even began to consider finding a young man from one of the noble families for marriage.

In Wu County today, in-law relationships are more solid.

Those noble families who had come to her for refuge in the past were basically arranged by her in Zhongzhou.

It is said that aristocratic families are permanent but emperors come and go. Aristocratic families have been in power for hundreds of years, and the younger generations have felt superior to others since they were born, so naturally they do not take ordinary people seriously.

Because of the arrival of those noble families, the people of Zhongzhou felt like they had fallen from hell into purgatory, and they all fled to the northwest with their families.

It’s not that Chen Qinyu doesn’t want to be in charge, but she has designated Zhongzhou as the territory of the aristocratic families from the very beginning.

Part of her plan was to bring those noble families to Zhongzhou.

But her plan was to walk on a tightrope at a high altitude, and if she wasn't careful she would fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces.

Compared with her father, she is even better than him.

Compared with Chen Qingzhi, Chen Qinyu is more ruthless and more unscrupulous.

What does it matter if she loses a piece of Zhongzhou? As long as she can get the whole Dayu.

As for the people of Zhongzhou, she felt that they should be able to understand for her great cause.

Separated by a boundary marker, Zhongzhou is purgatory and outside Zhongzhou is heaven. How could the people not escape?
