Chapter 44: The Competition

There's nothing more enjoyable than a heavy rain on a hot summer day. The day before the start of the Qingqiu Festival, the continuous heat finally ended, and a hearty heavy rain came.

The rain washes the streets clean at night, and the cool air in the morning seems to be refreshing and pleasant. Yi Xing and the three of them went to the street, found a shop that sold pastries and food, dealt with it casually, and walked to the place where the Qingqiu Festival was held.

The Qingqiu Festival was held by the Qingqiu Empire to recruit the strong, and naturally the Qingqiu Empire was responsible for many matters. This place is the training camp where the Qingqiu Empire trains soldiers. It is located in Zhongzhou City, adjacent to the Qingqiu Imperial Palace.

This training camp covers a fairly large area, and there are no tall and ornate buildings in it, just some low houses, but they are neat and tidy, and there are a lot of soldiers, so there should be a lot of soldiers who usually train here. The whole training camp was surrounded by a high wall, and those low houses were built on the inside of the high wall, and there were two gates in front and back, and many tall flags were planted on the doors, and the flags were blown by the wind, which was very magnificent at a glance. There are many thin and tall steel pillars in the training ground, and the top of the steel pillars are connected by iron cables, which is supposed to be some kind of equipment for soldiers to train. Except for some wooden shelves with various weapons and some long tables, there was nothing else in the whole field, and it looked very refreshing.

The three of Yi Xing came here and walked in without any obstruction. At this time, many people had gathered in the field, gathering in twos and threes and chatting.

Not long after, a line of soldiers in military uniforms walked through the door, carrying tea and some pastries, and placed them on the long table in the middle of the field, apparently for the people who had come to enjoy them. Su Su saw the pastry and muttered, "I'm hungry!" and walked to the long table to get the pastry to taste. Yi Xing had no choice but to follow her.

Su Su picked up the pastry on the side, put it in his mouth, and before he finished eating the pastry, he took a cup of tea. Yi Xing looked at Su Su's eating appearance, a little embarrassed. This girl is good at everything, it's just annoying, and it's delicious!

"Susu!" a young girl walked next to her.

Su Su immediately put down the tea and jumped over. "Sister Xue! We're still looking for you! I didn't expect you to be here!"

This girl is the snow princess, one of the two Jiaojiao in Zhongzhou.

The girl was still wearing a veil, looked at Su Su's appearance and smiled: "Are you looking for me or are you looking for food?"

There were a few teenagers and girls beside her, and when they saw Su Su's beautiful face, they asked Snow Princess: "Second sister, is this girl your friend?"

"What do you mean that this girl is my friend, he and him, they are all my friends!" Snow Princess pointed to Yi Xing and Xu Gongzi who were on the side.

"I've seen two sons!" These teenagers obviously didn't care much about Yi Xing and Xu Gongzi, and after a brief greeting, they hugged Su Su and talked on the side.

Yi Xing was quite helpless when he saw this, so he could only stand aside with Xu Gongzi and watch Su Su and them become together, and bursts of crisp laughter came out, which caused the young people on the side to look sideways frequently.

Yi Xing was bored, is this Qingqiu Festival just like a playhouse? Everyone came here just to chat. He had the urge to go back, he had come here to meet some young talents, and probably find out what the strength of these people was. I'm not here to listen to their small talk.

"Hey, what are you doing?" a voice interrupted the easy way of complaining about the event.

"Why don't you come here without chatting with them?" Yi Xing was very upset, and brought out this emotion as he spoke.

"How do you speak! Yi Xing didn't mean that!" Xu Gongzi saw that Yi Xing was very impatient to speak, and hurriedly interrupted him. "May I ask Snow Princess, when will this grand event start?" he and Yi Xing were both in general mind, so they naturally understood Yi Xing's state, so he asked.

"The time has not yet come, and it will start in a few moments. Would you like to go on stage and compete?" said Snow Princess.

"Forget it, we're just here to meet the young talents here, and we have a direction for cultivating in the future. "Xu Gongzi, like Yi Xing, just wanted to see it, and didn't have the heart to compete on stage.

"That's a shame. I'll go first, don't run away halfway!I'm going to talk to you when I'm done!" After the Snow Princess finished talking to them, she walked over to the teenagers who were hugging Su Su, informed Su Su, and took them away.

"Susu, you're so popular! the most we can do is lift your shoes on the sidelines. "Easy to make a sour tone.

"Brother, are you jealous of me? Hmph, let you train me every time!" Su Su couldn't help but tease him when he saw Yi Xing's tone pantothenic, looking carried away.

......

"Thank you for coming here to cheer!" Yi Xing saw a middle-aged man, tall and burly, and quite handsome, walking into the middle of the field and saluting everyone with his fists. "Under the Janissary Guard, Xiao Yan ......"

"It turns out that he is the famous Manager Xiao!

"That's natural, when Xiao Yan cultivated from the Sifang Temple, walked the rivers and lakes, broke out of the big name, and was known as Qiaolangjun, but later entered the royal guard, and then faded out of the rivers and lakes. Now that he is self-cultivating, he is afraid that he will encounter an opponent in Zhongzhou City!"

......

On the stage, Xiao Yan said something about the event, he didn't care about the rewards of the Qingqiu Empire, and he was not allowed to hurt people's lives through the competition...... Yi Xing was obviously more interested in these discussions in the audience, and after listening to the words of these people, he realized that this person on the stage was also a ruthless character back then, and he left after cultivating in Sifang Temple. Yi Xing couldn't help but look forward to the next competition.

"I'm waiting for people who practice martial arts and pursue pleasure, since that's the case, then I'll announce that the competition has begun!" Xiao Yan heard the words around him to start the competition, so he didn't say more, and immediately announced the start of the competition. Then turn away and give way to the next contestant.

"Since no one came first, then I will dare to sacrifice my ugliness!" Seeing that no one stepped forward, a young man came out and came to the field and said.

When Yi Xing saw this person's appearance clearly, he was stunned for a moment. Isn't this Zhang Junfei of the Heavenly Sword Sect! How could this person directly step forward and accept the challenge of others? Could it be that cultivation is a great advancement? Thinking of this, he suddenly understood. Previously, the Heavenly Sword Sect had taken away all the exercises in Qingyi Mountain, and I thought that some outstanding Heavenly Sword Sect disciples would be selected to teach them in the future.

Zhang Junfei's behavior like this was likely to be instructed or instructed by the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, otherwise how could a mere young disciple dare to push himself into the limelight like this. It seems that this Heavenly Sword Sect Sect Master is very thoughtful. After so many things and heard, he can already think about the considerations behind them. It can only be said that experience makes people grow!
