Chapter Fifteen: The King of Yue wins the hearts of the people
Chapter 15 The King of Yue wins the hearts of the people
The fist, kick, and weapon competitions are all over. Xiong Fei and Bao Feng have become the strongest players in the competition, waiting for the tenth day to determine the winner.
On the seventh day, the crossbow and concealed weapon competition began. There is no suspense, the hidden weapon competition of Tangmen in Sichuan came first. In the next competition, an archer bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot three coins thrown in the air from a hundred steps away.
Everyone applauded. The shooter named Ye Xing was also praised as Xiao Li Guang by the heroes.
The tenth day is the day to determine the real heroes. Heroes from all walks of life have entered the arena one after another, and those who came early have taken good positions. Nine people each from fists, feet, weapons, and bows and crossbows participated in today's competition.
The rules of the competition are still that one person goes on stage and accepts the challenge of the other eight people. The last person standing on the stage is named the hero. There are nine people in each of the three games. They first go to Prince Huo to draw lots to decide the order of entering the ring.
This rule is not appropriate, because even if the first one to come on the stage has some skills, if the following ones come up one after another, and the battle continues, the first one to come on the stage will probably be exhausted, and the last one to come on the stage will have a big advantage. This is also
It all depends on how lucky each person is.
The first competition was about fists and kicks. Yan Qingfeng from Youyan Valley was the first to come on the stage, and then was knocked to the ground by Xia Xiaoqi, who was drawn the second draw. Xiong Fei was the third to come on the stage and met Xia Xiaoqi in an instant.
After fighting for dozens of moves, it was clear to everyone in the audience that Xia Xiaoqi had surrendered. The next six people were also thrown off the stage by Xiong Fei within a few moments of each other, and the name "Flying Bear" spread throughout the martial arts world.
The second competition was about weapons, and Bao Feng was drawn to be the first to appear. He did not hesitate, and with the iron rod in his hand, he swept the other eight people and won the first place in the weapons competition.
The third game was a crossbow and concealed weapon competition. Tang Zhi from the Tang Sect ranked fifth, defeated the opponents in front of him, and defeated the three people behind him. Finally, he was compared with Xiao Li Guangyexing, who came to the stage in ninth place.
In the end, it was still hard to tell the difference. The hidden weapons of the Tang Sect in Sichuan were famous for their weirdness, and they were good at sneak attacks and close combat, while Xiao Li Guangye Xing's continuous arrows were good at attacking from a distance. Both of them were sure to hit the target without missing a beat. Look at the actual situation
It was difficult to choose, so Prince Huo decided that Tang Zhi of the Tang Sect would use three darts with wrapped blades to counter Ye Xing's three arrows with flattened points, each standing on one side of the ring, attacking each other, and hitting the opponent's
That is the winner.
It was already afternoon, Ye Xing was standing on the south side of the ring, and Tang Zhi was standing on the north side of the ring. The ring was ten feet long, and Tang Zhi's hidden weapon was not strong enough to hit his opponent, so he kept changing his body shape, trying to get closer to Ye Xing.
OK, Ye Xing holds a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, be careful. Tang Zhi is three or four feet away. Seeing that the dart in his hand can hit Ye Xing, he stops getting closer. Ye Xing has already fired three arrows.
Putting it on the bowstring. Tang Zhi shrugged his shoulders and shot three darts at Ye Xing. Ye Xing's three consecutive arrows were also shot.
Tang Zhi was good at using concealed weapons, and he was also a master at catching concealed weapons. When three arrows came, he dodged two, and then reached out to catch one.
Although Ye Xing was an expert in archery, he was not good at dealing with hidden weapons. He only waved the iron-backed bow in his hand and dialed the darts. He shot down all three darts.
After the two people escaped each other's attack, they looked at each other with sympathy. After seeing the result, Prince Huo discussed with Li Guogong and Marshal Huangfu and concluded that Tang Zhi was the better one and he had escaped Ye Xing's attack after all.
He also caught one arrow, but Ye Xing only shot it down. Ye Xing had no objection to this result and accepted it calmly.
After the competition was over, Prince Huo announced that a banquet would be held in the palace to receive all the heroes who came. The King of Yue would also personally honor Xiong Fei, Bao Feng, and Tang Zhi and award gold medals; other participating heroes also had different rewards.
At this point, thousands of martial arts people who came to participate in the Heroes Conference either stayed to attend the Yue King's banquet, or left separately. There were also heroic knights who were attracted by the Yue Kingdom and joined the Yue Kingdom's hero guild hall "Wangyue Tower".
The sun sets in the west, the sky is filled with red clouds, and the summer evening breeze blows slowly, blowing away the heat of the day.
King Wuyou, Peng Yunzhan and Ye Xing stood in the courtyard together, looking in the direction of the Yue Palace. King Wuyou said softly: "It should start now. It seems that King Yue wants to recruit warriors from all over the world. His intention is
It’s more than just training soldiers.”
Peng Yunzhan also nodded and said, "We'll know when Xiong Fei and the others come back." Ye Xing was also on the side, thought about it, and said, "The combat strength of the Vietnamese army is basically the same. If they expand the number of troops, they will only worry about the common people.
There are not many young men left. These martial arts heroes have been practicing hard for many years, and they cannot be taught to the soldiers overnight."
"Then is it possible that the Yue Kingdom has gathered these heroes and used them for their use?" King Wuyou asked, looking at the two people around him.
Ye Xing shook his head and said: "The heroes of the Jianghu are bold and unrestrained by nature and cannot abide by military orders. Moreover, the sects often despise each other. It is not easy to bring them together. It is even more difficult to order them."
Peng Yunzhan looked at King Wuyou and said slowly: "Perhaps the Yue people want to instruct these people to do something secretly, which is also very possible."
King Wuyou took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "We will soon know Yue Ren's intention."
At this time, in the palace of the King of Yue, the King of Yue stood on the main hall, with thousands of heroes from all walks of life below. The palace was brightly lit, and thousands of soldiers lit lanterns and torches, illuminating the surroundings of the main hall as if it were daytime.
The King of Yue first covered the victors Xiong Fei, Bao Feng, and Tang Zhi with red flowers, and dealt no one a real gold hero card. Then he drank three glasses of wine with all the heroes present and said some words of admiration.
, and finally explained that the Yue State is in the time of employing people and is willing to recruit heroes from all over the world to work together on great things. The Yue State will place all the heroes who come here in Wangyue Tower - the purpose is to prosper the Yue State, give generous salaries, and go to the military camp to assist in training on weekdays.
Military soldiers, teach soldiers offensive and defensive skills; if they are called upon, they will also be given heavy rewards.
After the King of Yue announced his holy will, he returned to the palace to rest. Prince Huo and others accompanied everyone to drink and celebrate. For a time, these heroes showed their bold nature, shouting to the sky and the earth, and giving orders with fists. Prince Huo and Duke Li
After meeting Huangfu Nianfeng, I was secretly unhappy, but I didn't want to get angry. After a few drinks, the three of them went to the back to talk. These heroes and heroes continued to argue until late at night, and then gradually dispersed, each going back to the inn where they were stationed to rest.
Bao Feng and Xiong Fei said goodbye to everyone and then returned to Qi Ci Fang separately.
King Wuyou and a few others were still waiting. They saw Xiong Fei coming back first, followed by Bao Feng. They reported what they heard in the palace to King Wuyou.
After hearing this, King Wuyou understood the purpose of King Yue's meeting of heroes this time. Bao Feng and Xiong Fei asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do? Should we stay here and see the situation, or should we go back separately."
King Wuyou smiled at them, and then said: "It's up to you. If you stay here, you will be given a generous salary by the high-ranking officials of the King of Yue. If you go back, who can resist you?"
Xiong Fei laughed after hearing this and said: "***, I don't have anything to do these days, so I'll just eat him here for a while."
Bao Feng also nodded and said: "Since Xiong Fei is staying and I still have things to do at home, I will go back first."
When King Wuyou saw what they said, he nodded in agreement. Seeing that it was almost dawn, everyone went to rest separately.
The next day, the sky was a little gloomy, as if it was raining. It was almost noon, and King Wuyou and Ying'er were discussing how to pack up and prepare to return to Qi State. However, they heard a girl shouting in front of them.
Voice: "Sister Ying'er, come down quickly, we will take you to a good place to play." It turned out that sisters Li Ling and Li Long were here and were shouting below.
** had already gone out and called them to come up. The two of them hurried upstairs. Seeing King Wuyou sitting in the room, they asked with a smile: "Mr. Qi, why don't you go to the front to sell your porcelain?
What is my sister doing here? You are a grown man, you look at sister Ying'er all day long, and you are not afraid of being laughed at!"
King Wuyou knew that they were whispering to Ying'er and didn't want to know it himself, so he stood up, bowed to them and said: "Thank you two fairies for reminding me, I will go take care of business right now. You have more sisters."
Get close."
After saying that, King Wuyou left the house. When he reached the door, he seemed to think of something. He turned around and asked, "It's almost noon. We'll go out for dinner soon. Where do you want to go? I'll ask shopkeeper Tan to make arrangements in advance."
Li Ling smiled and said, "Brother Qi, don't worry, we are just here to take sister Ying'er to dinner."
"Oh! Where are you going? Can you let me go with you so that I can save money for a drink?" King Wuyou joked after hearing what she said.
"I can't tell you this. Only my sister and I can go there. How can the Imperial Palace Garden be a place where we can go whenever we want?" Li Long said quickly and quickly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Ling slapped her on the back. Li Long also knew that he had spilled the beans, stuck out his tongue, and stood beside Ying'er, speechless.
King Wuyou looked at the two sisters, and then looked at **. ** naturally knew what King Wuyou meant, and nodded lightly without being noticed. King Wuyou pretended to be surprised and said: "The Forbidden Garden of the Imperial Palace
Ah, I have never been to the Forbidden Garden of the Royal Palace of Yue Kingdom, so I don’t know how glorious it is inside. But I don’t know how the two fairies thought of Ying’er going there.”
Li Ling said: "This morning, the maid in the palace came out to send a message, saying that the princess asked us to come to the palace to play, and that the flowers in the palace garden were in full bloom, and there were koi carps brought in from below, and new ones were released into the pond.
, it’s so beautiful, let us go and see it together, I just thought that sister Ying’er has been playing with us these past few days, so today is just the right time to go and see it with us.”
Li Long continued: "By the way, I dined with the princess in the palace. They were the most delicious palace banquets. You have never seen them before, and you have never eaten them before. Only my sister Ying'er has such a good taste."
King Wuyou shook his head and sighed and said, "You are just here to covet me. Then you can stay with Ying'er. She is a daughter of our Qi Kingdom. I'm afraid she doesn't know the rules in the palace of your transgressors.
If you offend your princess, you have to protect her, otherwise if you make her unhappy, I won't be happy either."
"Okay, okay, you go and do your work quickly. With our sisters here, Bao Zhun will take good care of sister Ying'er." Li Long looked impatient, waved his hand, and told King Wuyou to leave quickly. King Wuyou Chongying
The boy smiled, turned around and went down.
Here, Li Ling and Li Long greeted Ying'er to get up quickly and go to the palace together. The sisters naturally followed closely.
