Chapter 47 Shuanglong Shanzhai Martial Arts Competition
After being away for many days, the young eunuch only realized how big the sky is and how wide the earth is. For more than ten years, he has lived in the deep palace for a long time. Although he has heard a lot of rumors in the world, he really wants to practice it himself. There is still a gap between it and it is not ordinary.
What's the distance
The little eunuch slept in the open air, thirsty and hungry. After walking for several days, he came to a place. He dismounted and asked, only to find out that the name of the place was Shuanglong Mountain. He then asked the direction of the road to the north. Everyone shook their heads and said that they didn't know where this place was.
Although the ancestors of these non-Chinese people 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. There are many people going out and few coming back. They have 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 would definitely avoid the entanglement and disturbance of Wang Shugui's men and horses. The little eunuch wanted to stay overnight, and the villagers would not
Ken, saying that he had nothing to entertain the guests at home, brought him a bowl of water and carried a bucket to help him drink. The horse then guided him on his way. Just as the little eunuch was about to ask for some food, the villagers said: It's not far to go, at most.
There is a town on Wuqili Road called Shuanglong Village. It is just in time for the market day tomorrow. Let him stay there, which is convenient for food and accommodation.
The little eunuch galloped on his horse and arrived at Shuanglong Town in just half an hour.
After all, the town is different from a small village in the wilderness. It has a certain atmosphere. The town is built on the mountains and rivers. It has green mountains in the back and a gurgling river on the opposite side. In the middle, there is an official road passing through the town. On both sides of the street, there are many shops, daily necessities, swords and so on.
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, unless I refuse customers, I really don't dare to take you in. In the past, let alone you as a single merchant, even if there are ten or eight people, my small shop can accommodate you. However, the leader of my village issued an order a few days ago that all merchants under the age of
Young men between the ages of 18 and 25 must stay at his inn. Anyone who violates the order will be punished and the business will be closed within three months.
, he might be spotted by the copycat lady and become the groom."
"Robbing the groom! Where is the person robbing the groom?"
The store owner smiled and said: "It's better to come early than to come by chance. According to our local customs, the lady in the cottage and the queen of the screen are going to rob the groom. Tomorrow is the day when the lady robs the groom. The guest has not seen many gentlemen and buddies coming from far and near.
I want to try my luck! So all the guests who come will 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 little eunuch asked in surprise.
"Guest, it's a good luck to 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 forward, 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 Luo Qi and men can be good."
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 called 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 hurriedly.
At that moment, a horse team came roaring towards them. The leader was a fairy-like girl, followed by more than a dozen women in green skirts and hairpins. Everyone held a bow and arrow. Countless wild animals were hung on the saddle bridge. Beside the young eunuch
Speeding past, hurriedly entered the main gate of Dazhai
When 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 were other programs on the young eunuch
Hungry in his belly, he didn't think much and hurried into the tavern to ask for some food and drink. Although he was very hungry, the meal was tasteless and delicious. 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, the air was crisp, and the sky was clear. There was a field next to the back garden in the backyard of Dazhai, covering an area of about ten acres. It was surrounded by walls, with a rostrum in the middle, and the other three sides were also covered with seats. The field was extremely flat and of the same color.
It has a green brick paved floor, a runway, and archery targets. It is true that although it is small, it has all the internal organs. A small frontier town can have such a luxurious martial arts arena!
The young eunuch didn't want to come. Although the town was remote, it was home to many dignitaries and dignitaries from all walks of life who came here for its reputation. There was a mixed crowd among the martial arts and charming guests, and there might be someone who knew him. How could he, a fugitive imperial convict, get into such a place?
Once his identity is exposed, how will it end? However, the beauty is waving in front of him. He can't help but get up early, pack up, and go straight to the martial arts arena.
