"Mr. Ning knows Mr. Xu?" Xu Jinsong was also a little surprised, but he returned to normal in an instant, cupped his hands and said, "That is really an honor for Mr. Xu."
Ning Yujin was suddenly surprised again: "You... know me?"
Xu Jinsong raised his head, glanced at Mo Jingxiao, smiled slightly and said, "If you know Mr. Mo, you will naturally know Mr. Ning."
After saying that, he saluted solemnly towards Mo Jingxiao.
Ning Yujin then remembered that Mo Jingxiao seemed to have said that Murong Xuan had introduced Xu Jinsong to him.
Mo Jingxiao looked at Xu Jinsong and nodded, sparing no words and not uttering a single word.
Xu Jinsong also knew Mo Jingxiao's temper well and stood aside respectfully.
On the other hand, Ning Yujin's chatterbox opened up all of a sudden and she couldn't take it back: "Is Master Xu also here to compete?"
Xu Jinsong shook his head and said, "Xu was just passing by."
"Don't miss it if you are passing by. Go to the ring and compete. As long as you pass the first round, you will have one hundred taels of gold. That will be your salary for many years." Ning Yujin did not give up Di Chun.
Chun induced.
Xu Jinsong only smiled and said nothing.
Ning Yujin thought for a moment and suddenly realized, she leaned over and asked him in a low voice: "Are you really passing by or are you here to investigate the case?"
Xu Jinsong was startled, then smiled: "I've heard that Mr. Ning is extremely smart, but now Xu has gained a lot of experience."
After speaking, he glanced at the two of them and suddenly said: "Could you be the two people the watchman mentioned yesterday?"
"Hey," Ning Yujin touched her head and said, "We saw you coming, so we left first."
After saying that, Ning Yujin couldn't help but ask: "Is this matter related to Yunting Villa?"
Xu Jinsong shook his head: "It's hard to say. There are many capable and strange people here, and there are also some weird people. I'm here to try my luck."
"Then let's go to the competition ring. If you win the first round, you can become a guest of Yunting Villa. Then don't you have a reason to go in?"
The hundred taels of gold just now did not impress Xu Jinsong, but this condition made his heart move. He thought about it and said, "Then Xu, let's try it."
Ning Yujin looked at the three arenas and smiled immediately - Xu Jinsong competed in writing, Mo Jingxiao competed in martial arts, and he competed in eating. It was perfect! Perfect!
At this time, after the steward Lu Cheng said a lot of polite words, he began to explain the rules of the game, and several people began to listen attentively.
"Everyone has also seen that there are three arenas here, namely 'Civil', 'Martial', and 'Food'. The content of the competition is also included in these three words. Originally, according to the convention, there are only civil and military arenas.
, but the owner of the village thought that the young lady likes to taste all kinds of delicacies, and also wanted to choose a like-minded person for the young lady..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone began to boo, and many people were ready to abandon the civil and military arena and turn to the third arena.
Ning Yujin stared at the third arena with bright eyes, not paying much attention to what Lu Cheng said.
Mo Jingxiao's eyes narrowed and he looked at her with some worry.
"Of course, the rewards in the civil and military arena are also quite generous. Those who pass the first level test will get a hundred taels of gold; those who pass the second level test will be able to choose any weapons, calligraphy and painting on the field, and the one who comes out on top in the end will get flowers.
The cold girl in the house will perform a solo for you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who had just squeezed to the left began to squeeze to the right and middle again.
The fine weapons and everyone’s calligraphy and paintings make me drool just thinking about them.
Lu Cheng had a smile on his face from beginning to end, and continued: "The champion of the literary competition is Xu Zhongsheng, the best scholar in the world, and Mr. Xu. The first level of test is that Mr. Xu will play chess with ten people. As long as
Someone who can make ten moves can pass the level, win a hundred taels of gold, and become a guest of Yunting Villa. The second level of test is to play chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and poetry, and choose three among them, as long as one of them can reveal the truth.
Anyone who can match Mr. Xu can pass the test, and you can choose the calligraphy and painting in this game. As for the final test, we have to leave the suspense until the end, and the owner of the village will come up with the topic himself."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a scholar in fluttering white clothes walking up to the stage, waving a folding fan. His face was fair and his features were clear, and he looked like a handsome scholar.
Ning Yujin asked Mo Jingxiao and Xu Jinsong: "Do these scholars all have the same problem?"
Mo Jingxiao didn't say anything, but Xu Jinsong answered: "Master Ning, what do you say?"
Ning Yujin pointed at Xu Zhongsheng and said, "It's still spring today. He's dressed so fancy and has to shake a fan. I really want to ask him if he's not cold?"
Xu Jinsong couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
But when I looked up, I saw that all the scholars on stage seemed to have a folding fan in their hands, as if it was a custom.
At this moment, he was glad that he never used that thing. It was in the way, otherwise he might have been despised by Mr. Ning.
"Then you go up quickly, don't be overtaken by others." Ning Yujin saw those people rushing forward and quickly pushed Xu Jinsong over.
Seeing that Ning Yujin was more anxious than himself, Xu Jinsong immediately dismissed her and cupped his hands and said, "Then Xu will pass."
Ning Yujin waved to him and said, "Then we'll see you inside."
After that started, Butler Lu Cheng began to introduce the arena for the competition in the middle.
"In the first level of the competition, one of the thirty-six Tiangangs in Yunting Villa will be randomly sent to compete with you. If you win, you can enter the next level. In the second level, one person will fight against four of the thirty-six Tiangangs.
After winning the competition, you will be able to choose the magical weapons in this competition. Of course, you can also use the weapons on the field to compete during the competition. I hope you can win smoothly."
When Ning Yujin heard this condition, she couldn't help but ask Mo Jingxiao: "Why aren't the Thirty-Six Tiangangs powerful? It's obvious that the conditions here are much more severe than those over there."
Mo Jingxiao had never paid much attention to Yunting Villa, but he knew about the Thirty-Six Tiangang Sect: "There is a sect in this world called the Thirty-Six Tiangang Sect. Each time it recruits only thirty-six disciples, it does not teach ordinary martial arts.
, but the formation. Their individual martial arts are average, but if they form the Thirty-Six Tiangang Formation, their power cannot be underestimated."
"So that's it," Ning Yujin couldn't help but ask again, "What about competing with the Shadow Guard?"
Mo Jingxiao shook his head: "The Shadow Guards practice individual combat and fight on the battlefield; they practice group combat and shadow transformation. There is no comparison."
After hearing this, Ning Yujin suddenly understood, and then stretched out her elbow to turn Mo Jingxiao: "Then go and compete!"
Mo Jingxiao did not move. He only stretched out his hand to isolate Ning Yujin from the people around her to prevent anyone from bumping into her. He said in a calm tone: "I said I will not leave you for half a step."
There are so many people here, and if someone tries to fish in troubled waters, it will be impossible to prevent them.
Ning Yujin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but she didn't force Mo Jingxiao anymore. She just patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is the only way. When I win the first place in the eating contest, I will tell you that you are
My little follower will take you in to eat and drink."
