Chapter five hundred and sixty-eight contests to recruit relatives
"You idiot, why don't you leave? You want to compete in martial arts!" Someone kicked He Qizhou hard on the butt. He Qizhou staggered, rushed forward several steps, and almost bumped into other guests at the wine table.
, can only keep apologizing to others.
"Hahahaha..." Seeing "Zhou Qi"'s embarrassed look, the Mutang students burst into laughter again.
"Junior Brother Niu, don't be so rude. I'd better not join in the fun. A few elders from Hanjian Villa would beat me to the ground." Yu Wenrui scolded the student surnamed Niu generously, and then
He waved his hands and said humbly after everyone had finished laughing.
"Senior brother, my Captain, you are probably too busy. Miss Qi Xu's competition rules have been posted at the entrance of Hanjian Villa for five days!"
"Oh, tell me, what are the rules?" Yu Wenrui seemed to be interested.
"Qi Xu? Qi Xu?" He Qizhou heard the name from a distance, and his chest shook suddenly. That was the pseudonym Xiaoxue had used. Could it be her...
"Hey, Zhou Qi, why are you here again?" The student surnamed Niu, who was about to tell the rules and show off, turned around and glared at He Qizhou.
"Masters, I also want to hear it. I'll pour wine for you." He Qizhou brought another bottle of wine over and filled the glass for the guy who just kicked him. Although he could listen to it from any corner of the wine shop.
They were talking, but He Qizhou didn't want to miss a word about Xiaoxue.
"Squat aside, as long as it's not an eyesore." Perhaps the kick just now was too hard, but the boastful Mutang student finally gave He Qizhou some face.
"Oh." As expected, He Qizhou squatted aside obediently and listened to the guy talking with joy.
"This rule is really not simple. There are several in total. First, the challenger must be able to enter Hanjian Villa. The prerequisite for entry is to receive the three moves of the Four Elephants Sword Formation at the entrance of the mountain."
"This is simple, continue." Yu Wenrui took a sip of wine and said lightly.
"Second, the challenger must be unmarried. If he wins, he should marry the girl Qi."
"Nonsense, if you don't marry me as a wife, why call it a martial arts competition to attract a bride?" Some other Mu Tang disciples shouted.
"I haven't finished speaking yet. The second condition is that you are not allowed to take concubines for life! Senior brother, all the old guys in your village must have been married, right?"
"I - go - what are you talking about? Can a woman control the big men? Can she be controlled after she gets married?" This time the voice of the person making the noise suddenly sounded.
"You have never seen Miss Qi's true appearance. She is so beautiful...it's not enough to describe the beauty of a fish or a goose. But what you said makes sense. Let's talk about it first." Junior Brother Niu spat again.
stand up.
"Come on, you stay in the wooden hall all day, how can you go to Hanjian Villa." Someone stabbed Junior Brother Niu mercilessly.
"I have never seen it before. If Senior Brother Yuwen can take me to broaden my horizons this time, I will take care of the meals and accommodation along the way."
"It is said that she is indeed more beautiful than a fairy." Yu Wenrui nodded, agreeing with Junior Brother Niu's statement, and said: "My family at Hanjian Villa mentioned it in a letter, saying that the owner of the village took in a man and a woman when he was traveling.
The two disciples were brought back to the villa two months ago. The man seems to be a distant relative of the villa owner, and the woman is indeed extremely beautiful and charming, which makes the young disciples in the villa unable to practice swordplay with peace of mind."
"Well, when the two disciples came to the capital with the Yuwen family to pick up the body of the old village owner, many people caught a glimpse of her. On the day they left the city and returned to the mountains, many dandy boys came out of the city to see them off for thirty miles!
"Junior Brother Niu said.
Someone suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "Brother Yuwen, you are from Shuitang. They say that Yuwen died of a sudden illness after entering the capital. Can you tell me what happened?"
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. Have you forgotten what Mu Tang taught you?" Yu Wenrui's face suddenly darkened. Although he knew a little about the death of the village master, his superiors had strictly ordered not to spread false information. How could he do it?
Talking nonsense on such occasions.
"Yes, please stop interrupting!" Junior Brother Niu pointed at the person who asked the question and shouted, then turned to Yu Wenrui with a charming smile and said: "Brother, don't be angry, I heard that Miss Qi has excellent martial arts and thinks very highly of herself.
He was originally a descendant of the Zhongzhou sect, but he switched to the sect of the old master Yuwen halfway. Just because he admired the masters of the time and disdained the mediocre martial arts of the disciples in the sect, and because he was already too young, he wanted to choose a husband through a martial arts contest.
."
"My mother, the martial arts of the disciples of Hanjian Villa are mediocre..." The guy who had just been ordered to shut up couldn't help shouting again.
"Now that top figures like our senior brother Yuwen have come out, how many young masters can there be in the village!" Junior Brother Niu's flattery skills are really good, and one sentence made Yuwen Rui feel like a spring breeze.
"You can't say that. By the way, Junior Brother Niu, continue with the rules you mentioned." Yu Wenrui smiled slightly.
"Then let me continue. The third point will get to the point. The competition to recruit new people will last for one month and will end at the end of September. Five days have passed now.
Article 4: The competition for marriage is in the arena, and the attacker only needs to win three games in a row to be considered successful..."
"Wait a minute." Yu Wenrui interrupted again and said, "What do you mean by breaking the rules? Whoever goes first will have picked the flowers long ago!"
"Senior brother, I haven't finished speaking yet. It may not be cost-effective to go first. The winner has to solve the problem. The person who set the question is Miss Qi. The question is said to be about martial arts. It can be a literary or martial arts fight, or
She is asking her peers in the villa to fight. Only after passing this level can she truly pass the test. She is a close disciple of the old villa master. Is her martial arts weak? Shouldn't the other second-generation disciples in the villa be stronger? So only
If you are someone with high martial arts skills and who is in line with her, her questions will not be deliberately difficult. Senior Brother Yuwen, these rules are tailor-made for you!"
"That's it? Is there anything else?" Yu Wenrui was obviously very tempted.
"Yes. Miss Qi is very considerate. The defenders can ask for half an hour's rest after each battle. Of course, they are also allowed to give up their rest. The order of the attackers will be arranged according to the order of entering the villa, and they can also ask for a postponement.
If you fight again, you will have to be re-ranked to the last person who entered the village that day; the fighting requirements in the ring are all over, but the sword has no eyes, and you must sign a life and death document when entering the ring; the victory or defeat is determined by falling off the ring and being unable to do anything.
Those who continue to fight will lose. That's about it." Junior Brother Niu said.
"Senior Brother Niu, do you want to try your luck if you know it so well?" someone teased.
"To be honest, I have actually thought about it. My uncle brought this news this morning. He originally wanted to go to Hanjian Villa to see the excitement, but he didn't expect that he didn't take the Four Elephant Sword Formation due to his cultivation.
After three moves, I can only give up on this idea." Junior Brother Niu sighed.
"It is indeed difficult for ordinary people without the cultivation of the six meridians to break through the Four Elephants Sword Formation." Yu Wenrui said rather arrogantly.
"By the way, there is a rule in the villa. Only those who are invited can enter the villa to watch the battle. In addition, the contestant who takes the next three moves can bring one follower in. Brother Yuwen, it takes three days to go to Hanjian Villa.
You should take leave as soon as possible and leave immediately. If you think highly of Niu..."
"Whether I can take leave or not depends on Hall Master Yu's wishes. It's getting late and I have to go back. Brothers, have a good time and put the account on my head. Farewell!" Yu Wenrui thought to himself,
If we go to Jianzhuang, we will definitely get a lot of blood. How can I bring a useless thing like you with me?
"Then thank you, senior brother!" Junior Brother Niu was smiling with a smile on his face, but he was scolding him inwardly. You bastard must have gone back to pack your things and rush to Hanjian Villa tomorrow morning!
"Senior brother, please go slowly." "Sir, please go."... The disciples of Mutang stood up to see him off.
As soon as Yu Wenrui left, the Mu Hall students also lost interest and dispersed early. But He Qizhou, who was squatting aside, was so excited that he had already forgotten to pour the wine. When he saw one by one getting up and leaving, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
: “I don’t know how to write the word ‘Qi Xu’?”
"Do you think he looks like a toad when he's squatting on the ground?" Junior Brother Niu looked back and saw that He Qizhou, who was wearing a face mask, couldn't be more ordinary. Coupled with his sallow complexion and narrowed eyes, he couldn't be described as ordinary.
Half handsome.
Several people around Junior Brother Niu laughed unscrupulously and walked away one by one.
"The Qi of Nan Qi is so lifelike!" Junior Brother Niu's compensatory words came from outside the door. Each word was like a thunder hitting He Qizhou's head, causing He Qizhou's ears to buzz.
It doesn't stop, and then the sky is spinning for a while. What's going on? Why do you want to get married again?
"Master, it's been two hours. If you drink any more, there will be no wine to sell tomorrow." Luo Yu advised softly. He Qizhou drank at least twice the usual amount. Master, who has never been drunk, was blind at this moment.
Light, I don’t know what I’m thinking about.
"Xiaoxue competes with each other to recruit brides." He Qizhou said vaguely.
"I didn't hear you clearly, Master, what did you say? Xiaoxue? Is it Master's Wife?" Luo Yu exclaimed, and after taking a deep breath, his chest was undulating. Luo Yu has become more and more pleasant in the past six months. After He Qizhou left,
The smart Luo Yu listened to the advice of shopkeeper Wang and stayed in the backyard on weekdays and did not go to the wine shop to avoid getting into trouble.
"She is going to compete in martial arts at Hanjian Villa to find a bride..." He Qizhou's mind was in confusion and he didn't know what to do.
"Master, my wife must be looking for you in this way. Where is Hanjian Villa? I will go with you!" Luo Yu said excitedly.
"She, she said she didn't want to see me again..."
"Nonsense, I don't want to see you engaging in a martial arts competition to attract a bride! Do you want her to marry another man? Stop drinking and leave tomorrow!" Luo Yu grabbed the wine bottle from He Qizhou's hand.
"Go! I'll go!" In his heart, He Qizhou wanted to fly to Hanjian Villa immediately. All he needed was Luo Yu's words to stop him.
