Chapter 5 She also wants to participate in the competition
Lan Duoduo traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, but it took ten days to get to Jingyang City in six days. Jingyang City is the closest place between Xiao Warring States and Chudu State, and it is also a place at the junction of Lan Ling State and Xiao Warring States.
The territory of Xiao Warring States is the geographical location where Lan Duoduo is now.
"Stop!" Lan Duoduo ordered, and the team all stopped.
"Princess, what's wrong?" Xiaonan said anxiously. He had already stopped five times at the border of Xiao Zhanguo. If he keeps going like this, when will he arrive at Fudu?
"Today is the Lantern Festival, let's find an inn to settle down first, and play for the night before setting off tomorrow." She didn't want to have to rush so hard, not to mention that she didn't regard herself as a married woman at all, she was just a trip, of course.
Have fun and look good along the way.
Xiao Nan had no choice but to obey the princess. The group found an inn and settled down. They ordered Xiao Nan to take care of things, and then she and Xiao Xi entered the guest room.
"Princess, let's stop and go along the way. What if we delay for too long and miss the time!" Xiaoxi was a little worried. She was not like the princess, who had an indifferent attitude about everything.
"Don't worry, this princess has her own sense of proportion. Let's go, Xiaoxi, change clothes and go out to see what fun is there in Jingyang City!" Lan Duoduo didn't care about them, but she wasn't worried, as long as she was happy, the two quickly changed into clothes.
Men's clothing. Outside, Lan Duoduo always shows up in men's clothing. When the princess rescued her and Xiao Nan, she thought she was a young hero, and she was so excited. She was only twelve years old at that time, and she even fell in love with Xiao Nan.
Oh! Who knew that the princess took her into the palace and found out that the young hero was actually a female hero? Her young heart was filled with sorrow.
After a while, two handsome young men, a master and a servant, slipped out of the inn, along with a monkey. Although Jingyang City is on the border of Xiao Warring States, it is much more prosperous than Lanling State, and the streets are wider than Lanling State.
.
The vendors on the street shouted happily. There were many selling colorful lanterns and gadgets everywhere, and it was very lively. It was because of the Lantern Festival. Lan Duoduo and Xiao Xi walked from one street to another, eating, playing and looking around.
Touch this one and touch that one.
"Wow, this clay figurine is so beautiful. Is it the Seven Fairies?" Lan Duoduo stood in front of the clay figurine stall and took a fancy to a clay figurine. She couldn't help but pick it up and touch it. She had seen it on TV before, but she didn't expect the ancient clay figurine to be pinched.
It's really good.
"Young master, you are really discerning. The clay figurines I made are all very lifelike. The one you touch is exactly based on the picture of the saint from the Puli Temple." The old vendor proudly praised the clay figurines he made.
"No wonder she's so beautiful!" Lan Duoduo had heard that the saints in the Puli Temple were fairies. It seems that her father said that he also became smart when he came back from there. The Puli Temple must be very famous.
"Young master, do you want to sell it?" The old dealer saw that she liked it very much and was eager to sell his clay figurine.
"No, just enjoy it and enjoy it." Wouldn't it be a pity to buy it and break it into pieces? Lan Duoduo smiled embarrassedly, but still couldn't bear to put down the clay figurine in her hand.
"Don't touch and touch for so long. Go and go. Don't hinder my business." The old dealer angrily tried to snatch the clay figurine from Lan Duoduo's hand, but Lan Duoduo avoided his hand with the clay figurine.
"Hey, old man, who said my young master won't buy it? I'll give you a piece of silver without having to find it, huh!" Xiao Xi hates it most when she looks down on others. It's not like her princess can't afford it, but she still cares about your mud man.
, took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it into his hand, pulling Lan Duoduo away angrily.
"When did Xiaoxi become so powerful!" Lan Duoduo looked at Xiaoxi who was still angry in a funny way. She didn't even feel sorry for herself, but Xiaoxi started to feel sorry for her.
"Sir, that old man is really not a good guy. He has bullied you. If you touch his things, you won't lose a piece of mud!"
"People are just afraid that his clay figurine is missing a piece of clay!" Lan Duoduo doesn't like to argue with others, so it's quite pitiful that she always sets up a stall just to make a living.
Lan Duoduo and Xiao Xi were walking from one street to that street. Suddenly, the crowd started to stir, and many people ran in one direction. Lan Duoduo felt strange, and grabbed a passerby and asked curiously, "Hey, this big brother, why are you like that?"
Where are many people going?"
"Young Master is from out of town. You don't know. Our annual Lantern Festival Festival in Jingyang City is held in the Jingtai Garden on the city street. There is food, drink and fun. I won't tell you anymore. It will start soon."
After saying that, the man hurriedly ran to Jingtai Garden.
Lantern Festival parties? She often organizes parties with her black entertainment gangster team, but they are very popular among the local people. She is like a modern star in Lanling Country! Who doesn't know the name of her singer A Lung!
I wonder what this Lantern Festival party will be like? "Come on, Xiaoxi, let's go and have a look too." He pulled Xiaoxi towards the Jingtai Garden, and little Wukong also jumped happily.
The Lantern Festival Festival is just like every place has its own customs and customs. I heard that Jingyang City organizes it every year at the expense of City Master Liu of Jingyang City. Anyone can participate, mainly because everyone takes advantage of this festival.
Gather together, there is a competition every year, and the winner in the end can get rich bonuses and precious medicinal materials, because City Lord Liu deals in medicinal materials, and he has many medicinal materials that are rare in the world.
Jingtai Garden is as large as a modern square, but the courtyard is surrounded by promenades, giving it an antique feel.
Jingtai Garden has long been crowded with people. Colorful lanterns are hung everywhere in the garden. Big red strips surround the corridor of the whole yard. The stage is set in the middle. It is wide and has several large pillars. The red carpet covers the entire stage. On the stage
There are two peach blossom trees on both sides, adding to the joy.
Lan Duoduo and Xiao Xi squeezed to the front.
"City Lord Liu..." someone in the crowd shouted. Suddenly, a middle-aged man in his forties, slightly fat, walked out of the middle of the stage. He was wearing brocade clothes and satin. No need to guess, he was City Lord Liu. Only
Seeing him standing on the stage, he waved his hands to signal the crowd to be quiet. Sure enough, the noisy crowd immediately quieted down.
"Welcome to the annual Lantern Festival Festival. As we all know, there is a competition every year. Anyone who wins will receive a thousand taels of gold and a precious medicinal material. This year is no exception. Not only will there be rewards this year, but also a final prize.
The winners will also have a mysterious gift!" Before City Master Liu finished speaking, people in the crowd were excited. Lan Duoduo was as excited as if she had discovered a new world. This party was completely different from the activities that her black entertainment usually blocked.
They held it with money, but she held it to make money.
People use competitions to stir people's hearts, and they use singing and sketches to impress others. It's interesting.
"There is also a mysterious gift, what do you think it will be?" The crowd was talking about it.
"Sir, what kind of problems do you think this City Lord Liu will pose for everyone, and you don't know what the final mysterious gift is?" Xiao Xi was also full of curiosity, probably because he had been with the princess for a long time, and became as curious as the princess.
"Not to mention the mysterious gift, just one thousand taels of gold and precious medicinal materials are enough to attract people." One thousand taels of gold alone was enough to attract her, and she decided to participate. What's more, it was too challenging. Wait until she has it in the future.
Now that she has money, she will bring her black entertainment to make trouble like this.
"Sir, you don't want to participate too!" Xiao Xi's face was full of surprise.
"Xiao Xi is so smart. I have a thousand taels of gold and a mysterious gift of precious medicinal materials. I want to move it home." Lan Duoduo looked sure to win, and the one thousand taels of gold was waiting for her to come and get it.
This princess loves money and fun. Xiao Xi was surprised and no longer surprised. It would be fine if she didn't cause trouble.
The crowd started to commotion, "Ouch, it hurts so much." Someone stepped on Lan Duoduo's foot, and she yelled.
"I'm sorry, there were too many people. I didn't mean to step on you. Is something okay?" the man in Xuanyi said apologetically.
Lan Duoduo was about to curse, but she was a little stunned when she saw the man in black clothes. Wow, he looked like a knight in the comics, with slightly curly hair, amber eyes, a tall nose, and sexy lips.
More eye-catching than modern stars. "No, it doesn't matter." She was a little incoherent. There were so many beautiful men in ancient times. Her two royal brothers were both handsome enough. I didn't expect that the one in front of me was even more handsome. She was really blessed. Hehehe laughed twice and looked away.
Put it on the stage.
"This year's competition is different from previous years. It is mainly aimed at young men." Young men, it is difficult to find a son-in-law. Lan Duoduo thought for a while and looked at City Master Liu intently. His slightly fat figure looked a bit like a penguin.
It would be even more exciting if there was a penguin show at the beginning.
"Look at the five big pillars on the stage. Each pillar has many small wooden strips protruding from each section for easy climbing. Whoever climbs up first to pick up the red flag on the top can proceed to the next round of competition. A total of
Five are selected. Contestants are not allowed to use Qinggong. If they fall down halfway, they cannot come back. It is equivalent to being eliminated. For the sake of health, it is best not to participate if you are over thirty-five years old. Do you understand?" City Master Liu said to him.
The crowd in the audience announced, with a look in their eyes that made people think deeply.
"It's really weird. There are cushions on the sides of the pillars. Why is there an age limit?"
"It didn't say there was an age limit, it just said that those over thirty-five should not participate." Someone in the crowd began to discuss again.
Two servants came out of the stage, holding wooden signs in their hands, and the whole place started to stir. Liu Chengzhu explained to the two servants, and the two servants sat on the wooden tables and chairs on the side of the stage and started to sign up. Suddenly there were many contestants
Lining up to get the number, Lan Duoduo also got the competition number, number 49, a group of five people, which was the tenth group. "Sir, it's not easy to climb so high." Xiaoxi still hoped that she would not participate.
, what to do if you get injured.
"Don't worry, I will find a way, little Wukong, it's up to you!" Lan Duoduo smiled and touched the little monkey's head. She was snickering. She didn't say she was going to climb. She was participating. She had her own competition.
Solution: "Master, this..." Xiao Xi stared at Lan Duoduo in disbelief. This princess was so outrageous that she even asked the little monkey to participate. Lan Duoduo gave her a blank look in response.
"Ah, ouch..." A cry came from the stage.
"Sir, a few more have fallen down, and no one has climbed up yet. It seems difficult to climb." Two men standing next to Lan Duoduo said, "Sir, look, there is a thin young man with a dark face.
We've reached the first red flag." Xiao Xi excitedly took Lan Duoduo's hand and pointed at the young man who got the first red flag on the stage. Lan Duoduo's eyes rolled around, it wasn't her who got it, so why was she excited?
The crowd suddenly burst into excitement, "Someone got it, come on, come on."
"Knife, come on, there are still a few more steps, come on!" Seeing another man climbing to the top, he suddenly wanted to reach up and grab it, but his foot slipped and fell off.
"Oh, it was so close, what a pity!" Everyone sighed, so regretful.
Finally it was the turn of Lan Duoduo's group. Lan Duoduo held a monkey and looked at her friends in the same group. Hey, the man in black clothes who stepped on her just now also joined. Lan Duoduo smiled at him.
.
"Wait a minute, young master, why are you holding a monkey? Seeing as you are so young, it's better not to mess around and go home to play." City Master Liu looked at Lan Duoduo who was holding a monkey. He was not playing tricks on monkeys.
, the crowd in the audience burst into laughter.
"City Master Liu, what you said is wrong. It seems that in your rules, young masters cannot participate." Age is not a problem. You will know what it means to be awesome later. She must be the first.
