Chapter 47 Shuanglong Shanzhai Martial Arts Competition
After being away for many days, the young eunuch realized how big the sky is and how wide the earth is. For more than ten years, he has lived in the palace for a long time. Although he has heard a lot of rumors in the world, if he really wants to practice it himself, there is still a gap in the middle.
It's a normal distance.
The young eunuch slept in the open, thirsty and hungry. After walking for several days, he arrived at another place. He dismounted and asked, only to find out that the place was called Shuanglong Mountain. When he asked about the direction of the road to the north, everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know. They said this
The place is full of foreigners. Although their ancestors are also from the Central Plains, the land has always been under the jurisdiction of the great powers of the Central Plains. The transportation is blocked and the countryside is poor. Many people go out and few come back. It has never been connected to the inhabited areas of the mainland.
.
After hearing this, the little eunuch was surprised and happy. What surprised him was that he walked several hundred miles further to the west. What he was happy about was that this deserted place must have avoided the entanglement and disturbance of Wang Shugui's people. The little eunuch wanted to stay overnight, and the villagers
He refused, saying that there was nothing at home to entertain guests. He only brought him a bowl of water and a bucket to help him drink, and then guided him on his way. Just as the little eunuch was about to ask for some food, the villagers said: "Why don't you go ahead?"
Far away, at least five or seven miles away, there was a town called Shuanglong Village. Just in time for the market day tomorrow, he was asked to go there and stay in a hotel, which was convenient for food and lodging.
The little eunuch galloped on his horse and arrived at Shuanglong Town in just half an hour.
After all, the town is different from the small villages in the wilderness. It has a certain atmosphere. The town is built on the mountains and rivers, with the green mountains as its back and the gurgling river on the opposite side. An official road runs through the town in the middle. On both sides of the street, there are many shops selling daily necessities.
, swords, daggers, food and clothing, everything you need.
The young eunuch led his horse forward and found a more respectable restaurant. When the shopkeeper saw him coming, he hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Strong man, I wouldn't dare to take you in if I didn't refuse you. In the past, let alone you being a single merchant, my small shop can accommodate even ten or eight people. But a few days ago, the head of my village issued an order that all customers
Young men between the ages of 18 and 25 must stay at his inn. Those who violate the order will be punished and have to close their doors within three months. I saw that the guest officer was a talented person, just like Lu Bu among people and horses among horses.
Like a red rabbit, he might be spotted by a copycat lady and become the groom."
"Robbing the groom! Where is the person robbing the groom?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "It's better to come early than to come by chance. According to our local custom, the lady of the cottage and the queen of the screen are going to rob the groom. Tomorrow is the day for the lady to rob the groom. The guest didn't see many gentlemen coming from far and near.
They all want to try their luck! So the guests who come will have to go to their inn in Dazhai to meet up so that the lady can choose her husband tomorrow morning."
"Is there such a thing?" the young eunuch asked in surprise.
"It's a good luck, sir, if you win first place, don't forget to give me a glass of wedding wine!" the store owner said with a wink and a smile.
The little eunuch left the hotel and walked forward for about half a mile in the direction pointed by the innkeeper. When he looked up, he saw that there was a large house on the hillside hidden in the dense forest. The house was tall and large, looming and six feet tall.
The high wall is evenly dotted with gaps for arrows. From time to time there are soldiers walking up and down the wall. The top of the wall is covered with countless red and green flags, which are very dazzling. Going further, the gate tower is inlaid with "
The five characters "Shuanglongshan Dazhai" are particularly eye-catching. Two flagpoles stand high on both sides of the gatehouse, with a pair of colorful ribbons floating down from the air. On the left is "Miss Xiuwai Huizhong is looking for relatives and friends", and on the right is "Wen Tao Wu Lue Qi Man Fang Fang"
"It's a good match." The little eunuch smiled slightly after seeing it and thought to himself: I have obtained a horse from a county outside the Great Wall! But I don't know what the appearance of the rich lady is like?
Seeing that there was another young man coming to compete for a bride, the man in charge did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly invited the young eunuch to stay in the pavilion at the side of the courtyard. Just as the young eunuch was about to dismount, suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves behind him, and he turned around hastily.
While watching, a horse team rushed towards them. The leader was a fairy-like girl, followed by more than a dozen women in green skirts and hairpins. Everyone held bows and arrows. Countless wild animals were hung on the saddle bridge.
He passed by quickly and hurriedly entered the main gate of Dazhai.
As the cavalry passed by, passers-by stopped and looked up, staring at the stunning girl, mouthing out endless praises.
The little eunuch secretly marveled: Not only do bad people come out of poor places, but beautiful women also come out of poor places! He also thought, since it was a competition to recruit a bride, how could he snatch the groom? Could it be a slip of the tongue from the shop owner, or maybe there was another program. The little eunuch
The eunuch was hungry, so he didn't think too much and hurried into the tavern to ask for some food and drink. Although he was very hungry, the meal was tasteless. He was beautiful and delicious, and there were countless beauties around him, but unfortunately none of them were here at the moment.
, the little eunuch spent a long and boring night in depression.
The next day, it was a sunny day, with crisp autumn air and clear sky. There was a field next to the back garden of Dazhai's backyard, covering an area of about ten acres. It was surrounded by walls, with a rostrum in the middle, and seats on the other three sides. The field was extremely flat.
, the same color green brick paved floor, runway, and archery targets are all available. It is true that although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. A small border town can have such a luxurious martial arts performance ground!
The young eunuch didn't want to come. Although the town is remote, it is home to many dignitaries, martial arts and charming guests. There is a mixed crowd here, and there may be people who know him. How could he, a fugitive imperial convict, be able to come and go like this?
Occasion? Once his identity is exposed, how will it end? However, the beauty is waving in front of him, and he can't help but get up early, pack up, and go straight to the martial arts arena.
