They sat at the table by the river and had breakfast, including fried eggs, Zhongzhou's specialty shrimp dumplings, meat porridge, meat buns, and fried fish.

While the second prince was eating, he talked about his past with Qi Rusong. It seemed that he had not had such a pleasant meal for a long time, and his smile seemed relaxed and relaxed until the martial arts tournament started.

Qi Rusong accompanied the second prince into the competition venue and sat down in their seats.

No one from the east came. He Xiao, the king of the north Zheng Yuanfeng, and many other Zhongzhou City officials were all present.

Qi Rusong saluted them one by one, and the other party smiled in return.

After the simple ceremony, Guyang immediately stood up and announced that the competition had officially begun.

The horn of the contest was blown and the duel began, and the audience's passion was immediately ignited.

Qi Rusong was not very interested. The main event usually came later. The contestants in the first ten games were all ordinary warriors, with very few strong [Sword Spirit] players. It could be said to be extremely boring.

It was not until near noon that a cultivator wearing smoky gray armor entered the room, which attracted Qi Rushong's attention. This man was extremely tall, with broad shoulders and thick arms. It could be said that he was the tallest and strongest person he had ever seen in his life.

"Have you seen this man, a member of the Zheng family in the north?" Guyang told him, "Now he is for my use!"

Zheng Yuanfeng kept his secrets secret. For him, it was more of an honor for his family members to be loyal to the royal family.

Qi Rushong forced out a smile and remained silent.

That man's opponent was a young man, as thin as a reed, wearing an extremely gorgeous silver armor that was polished so brightly that it was dazzling.

How could this boy be a match for that big guy? Thousands of throats gasped at the same time!

"Rusong, Yuanfeng, He Xiao, let's take a bet, who will win this competition?"

"Who is that young man?" Qi Rusong asked him.

"The Wang family in the West, my wife's family." Guyang replied, "This is the cousin of the queen, her uncle's son. Those uncles who are dead, when I think about it, they seem to be the living ones. I

Can not remember.

The Wang family is a very big family. As you know, the manager of the Wang family had the same character as his dead father. He was a man of promiscuity and had numerous illegitimate children.

No, Mr. Wang has just married his eighth wife recently, and it is said that this new husband is pregnant again."

Qi Rusong had heard a little bit about the deeds of Lord Wang in Zhongzhou City. His many marriages left him nineteen legitimate sons and seven legitimate daughters, as well as an unknown number of illegitimate children.

He is the official with the most children and grandchildren in the Great Xia Kingdom. He himself claims that he can give birth to an army.

"How's it going? Is there any result?" Guyang asked him. "You place your bet first, and I'll be the banker!"

"What are you betting on?"

"How about a hundred taels of gold bet?" He Xiao suggested.

"A mere one hundred taels of gold, you can afford to lose!" Zheng Yuanfeng agreed.

Guyang shook his head, "I already have money, beauty, and rights, but I'm not interested in these." He said, "The loser needs to do something for the other party. What do you think?"

"I think it works!" He Xiao said.

"I'll follow!" Zheng Yuanfeng said.

Qi Rusong didn't want to owe Guyang a promise, "I bet the Zheng family soldiers will win."

"Of course I also choose my family's warriors," Zheng Yuanfeng said.

He Xiao touched his nose, then looked at Guyang, "I bet on the young Wang family in the Western Region!" He said, "At the same time, I will raise a bet of one hundred taels of gold. Prince Zheng and Prince Qi, do you want to follow?"

"Hmph, just bet!" Zheng Yuanfeng shouted back, "How could I, a descendant of the Zheng family, lose to such a family!"

Qi Rusong did not speak. He nodded, indicating that he accepted the bet.

"Haha, I also bet on the Wang family boy." Gu Yang said meaningfully, "Many times, the eyes can deceive your heart. Things that you think are guaranteed to win are often beyond your control!"

The Zheng family soldier held his sword in front of him and was ready. The boy from the Western Wen family blew a kiss to a lady in the crowd, and then slowly walked forward.

As soon as the two swords collided, the young man from the Wen family was immediately knocked back by the powerful force of the Zheng family warrior. However, the young man was quite agile. He staggered back a few steps, and finally managed to steady himself without falling. He turned around

Smile again.

"Prince Wen, I hope your gold is ready." Zheng Yuanfeng said to He Xiao.

"Little things, little things!"

At this time, Gu Yang turned his head and said to Qi Rushong, "Are you asking me to do something for you?"

Qi Rusong smiled, "Your Highness, the Second Prince, just help me find some [Fire Spiritual Stones]."

"Oh? It's so simple!" Guyang said, "It seems the news is correct, Old Man Ye has passed on the power of [Fire Spirit] to you!"

"Yes, that's right!"

"Rusong. [Fire Spirit Stone] is not a rare thing. Even if you win, there is no need to waste the opportunity." He Xiao said with a smile, "Besides, you haven't won yet!"

During the conversation, the Zheng family soldier had arrived in front of the young man. He held the sword with both hands and slashed hard at the young man's chest. The young man ducked to the side, and the long sword passed across his chest, making a harsh metal scraping sound.

Opening the jacket left a long, bright scratch on the steel armor.

The crowd began to scream, and Qi Rushong couldn't help but gasp.

Although it is forbidden to intentionally injure people's lives in a martial arts tournament, sometimes the sword has no eyes, and incidents of manslaughter often occur.

The Zheng family soldier moved forward in silent anger, using his astonishing strength to attack fiercely, but the young man did not dodge this time, and took the attack forcefully, breaking away from the attack.

With a "台" sound, the long sword fell to the ground. It was the sword of the Zheng family soldier, not the boy!

Everything happened so fast that Qi Rusong didn't even look too carefully.

Then, the young man strode forward and kicked the Zheng family soldier in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

"Surrender!" the boy shouted sharply.

"I surrender!" The Zheng family soldier lowered his head and replied softly.

The entire audience was silent, no one knew what was going on.

"What!" Qi Rushong shouted in surprise. "What happened?"

"This bastard!" Zheng Yuanfeng's face was gloomy and full of anger. His hair hung down and covered his eyes. "How dare you surrender!"

"It's nothing, you lost!" Gu Yang laughed like a storm.

With that said, he stood up and announced the results of the competition.

Qi Rusong heard cheers, cheers, whistles, gasps of horror, excited whispers, especially the hoarse and harsh chuckle of the Zheng family soldiers.

The young man from the Wen family turned around and smiled, and the entire audience cheered for him again.

"Thank you for the gold!" He Xiao said, "I knew this boy from the Wang family would win."

"If you know who will be the champion in the upcoming group competition, tell me quickly. Otherwise, I will lose even the cost of returning to the southern border." Qi Rusong said to him.

"If that's the case, I will buy you a good horse and won't let you be so miserable!" He Xiao said.

Guyang sat back again, "Rusong, Yuanfeng. Do you want to know what's going on?"

"Your Highness, you have a keen eye for pearls. I am not as good as you!" Qi Rusong replied.

"No, your judgment is correct. In terms of strength, even ten young men from the Wen family can't defeat a reckless man from the Zheng family!" Guyang laughed again. "But if this prince asks him to lie down, he must lie down.

Any woman, if I ask her to lie down for anyone, she must spread her legs and lie down obediently!"

Qi Rusong smiled bitterly, this is imperial power! "What does Your Highness need me to do?" he asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet. We'll talk about it when the time comes. It's still a long time before you and I get together, haha."

At this time, He Xiao turned to look at Zheng Yuanfeng, "Prince Zheng, according to the bet, you owe me something now, haha."

"What do you want?" Zheng Yuanfeng was still angry.

"Ha, it's very simple. You can definitely do it." He Xiao said with a smile, "If someone wants to kill me one day, no matter how far away, you have to come and save me."

As soon as this statement came out, several others were shocked.

"Okay!" Zheng Yuanfeng agreed readily.

What is this guy doing? Qi Rusong is puzzled.

Then, the three of them followed Guyang to the archery range, followed closely by other officials.

He Xiao deliberately distanced himself from Gu Yang, and then quietly said to Qi Rusong, "I originally wanted to buy that man from the Zheng family, but the second prince's eyes betrayed him."

"Did anything change in his eyes?"

"You can't tell it's normal," He Xiao said with a smile, "You think that big boss of the Zheng family doesn't understand? He's just acting!"

"how do I say this?"

"Ha, what can I say about you? If it weren't for Zheng Mangfu's permission, that guy would dare to deliberately lie in front of the patriarch of his family?" He Xiao said, "I dare to swear to God, the bet just now was set up for you and me.

Trap!"

"Just to win a promise from me?"

"Who made your Qi family famous for keeping promises?"

Qi Rusong sighed, "If I buy that boy from the West, the one named Zheng will not be merciful."

"You're not too stupid!" He Xiao said.
