Chapter 467: The Great Cadres Are Really Vulnerable
The location of the contest was chosen on the square in front of the imperial city.
Although the Fulong Empire is not rich, the land is very large, and the relatively harsh climatic conditions make this vast area not coveted by too many foreign enemies.
It is precisely because of the vast area that when the little girl Zhuma first arrived, she felt that the area of a mere Jiangfu courtyard was better than the main house of the wealthy clans.
In the same way, the square in front of the Imperial City of the Fulong Empire was much wider than that of the Great Qian Empire.
Murong Xiu stood above the imperial city, overlooking the entire square, only to feel boundless, as if there was no end in sight, and his chest couldn't help but swell with pride.
In the middle of the square near the city gate, a square platform about ten zhang long and wide was erected, although it was a temporary ring, the ground was still paved with smooth marble, which looked quite luxurious.
A lot of red ceilings have been set up around the ring, and there are many mahogany tables and chairs set up at a certain distance below, on which all kinds of tea and snacks are placed.
The number of tables and chairs is not much, and each table is marked with a golden plaque with a surname, which shows that these seats for spectators are all set up for the magnates of the imperial capital, and they have nothing to do with ordinary people.
When it was agreed that the time would be a martial arts competition, most of these seats were full, and the same was the nobles of the imperial capital, and the people watching the battle were more or less inextricably linked, and this prosperous era was undoubtedly an excellent social opportunity, and everyone soon moved around each other, and the square was full of people for a while, and it was very lively.
Of course, the area of the square is too large, and in addition to the seats of these well-known magnates, there are also many people from the imperial capital who have heard the news in the distance.
After all, no matter what world you are in, there will be no shortage of people who eat melons.
"Master Xiao, this competition, do you Xiao family also want to participate?"
Qiu Tianjue was smiling and his expression was cute, but there was a hint of hostility in his eyes.
He felt disgusted and repulsed from the bottom of his heart for this powerful family that came from an enemy country, but flourished in a very short period of time, quickly gained a foothold, and pursued the enemy's family.
Even if everyone knew that the Qiu family had declined and it was difficult to match the names of the four major families, if the Qiu family was really kicked out of the four major families in his hands, it would be unacceptable for Qiu Tianjue to take advantage of the situation and replace him.
"It's just to join in the fun. Xiao Wuxian laughed and said, "Miss Jiang's immortal-like character, how can our rabbit cub be able to climb high?"
"The head of the Xiao family is too humble!" Qiu Tianjue smiled slightly, "The ruthless prince and the young man Yan are both the leading handsome of the younger generation, no matter which one of them may not be able to win Miss Jiang's heart!"
"Ruthless, this kid is quite self-aware, but Yan'er doesn't know the height of the sky, if you have to give it a try, I don't bother to care, just let him run into a wall by himself!" Xiao Wuxian deliberately sighed and said, "In Xiao's opinion, the most promising one to win the championship is the second son of your mansion." ”
"Although this kid is rough in the way of cultivation, he is far from being able to compare with the second young man of the palace family. Qiu Tianjue glanced at the young man standing beside Gong Jiuxiao in the distance, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, "This time the competition is probably just a foil. ”
"Is that the legendary second young man of the palace family, Gong Qingyun?" Xiao Wuxian looked at him and asked.
"Yes, it is rumored that this Gong Er Shao's talent is extremely outstanding, almost comparable to Jiang Yulong. Qiu Tianjue nodded, "Although Miss Jiang is very good, it is not easy to pass his level. ”
"I heard that the Jiang family and the Gong family are not in harmony. Xiao Wuxian asked tentatively, "I'm afraid that among all the children of the family who participated in the competition, Miss Jiang was the most unwilling to marry this second palace boy." ”
"Yes, if Miss Jiang really marries into the palace family, I am afraid that the situation will be a little difficult. Qiu Tianjue said with some schadenfreude, "In order to avoid Gong Qingyun, she may deliberately lose to someone in front of the queue, it is unknown." ”
"Isn't there a chance for everyone?"
Xiao Wuxian and Qiu Tianjue laughed in unison, and they seemed to have a very harmonious chat, as if they had been friends for many years.
"It's Ji Lieshen!"
"Didn't he go to the Land of Chaos?"
"He's back!"
An uproar suddenly erupted in the crowd, and Xiao Wuxian turned his head to look, only to see that in the seat area with the name plate "Ji", there was a sturdy young man with brown hair and a burly figure standing.
The young man was handsome, but there was a long, crimson scar on his forehead, and his eyes shone with a sharp light, like a sharp arrow, as if it were about to pierce everything he saw.
"Brother Qiu, this is ......" Xiao Wuxian didn't know this young man, but he also knew that this person was extraordinary, so he couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't expect Ji Lie God to come back. Qiu Tianjue's face was shocked, "This second child of the Ji family is also a rare demon, and Gong Qingyun can be regarded as having met an opponent." ”
"The Ji family also has such a genius?" Xiao Wuxian said curiously.
"This person is extremely talented, aggressive by nature, and has been mixed in all kinds of desperate and dangerous situations all day long, not only is his strength not inferior to Gong Qingyun, but his combat experience is still surpassed. Qiu Tianjue slowly introduced, "Besides, the Jiang Ji family has a deep friendship, but I'm afraid that Miss Jiang's heart will still be more biased towards this person." ”
"It's coming!"
In the crowd, I don't know who shouted, which attracted everyone's sideways.
Immediately afterwards, with the sound of hustle and bustle, the figure of the Jiang family and his party finally entered everyone's sight.
Jiang Tianhe was still smiling and amiable, and he didn't look unhappy.
Standing on the left behind him was a handsome and dignified young man, who was none other than Jiang Yulong, the son of the Jiang family, who had not appeared in the imperial capital for a long time.
This dragon of the Jiang family had a gloomy face, sharp eyes, and a compelling momentum all over his body, which made people dare not look at him.
And Jiang Yushi, the protagonist of this competition, stood quietly on the right side of Jiang Tianhe, with a fluttering white skirt and a beautiful posture, like a fairy, without a trace of expression on his beautiful face, as if this competition had nothing to do with him.
Xiao Zheng Taijiang Wufeng hung his head and followed the three of them far away, his eyes flickered, his expression was melancholy, and he glanced at the three people in front of him from time to time, neither speaking nor approaching.
After all, the Jiang family is the first family of Fulong, even if it was suppressed by the emperor, it did not have much impact on its status, the moment they saw Jiang Tianhe, all the imperial capital magnates got up to greet each other, and the lively atmosphere of the scene instantly reached a climax.
Emperor Murong Xiu was condescending, looking down at the powerful people below who were courteous to Jiang Tianhe, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and for some reason, he was faintly unhappy in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the prestige of the head of the Jiang family is really unexpected. Ruoyan, a young man in Tsing Yi on the side, suddenly spoke.
"After all, I've been a first-family family for so long. Murong Xiu replied lightly, "The influence is naturally different. ”
"I hope that the head of the Jiang family will not be carried away by the performance of these people. Again, "Make an unwise move." ”
"He's an old fox. Murong Xiu's face was calm, "You should know that the widow is not as cowardly as Li Jiuye." ”
Ruoyan smiled slightly, and said no more.
"It's time!" The person who presided over the contest was Tieque, the secretary of the Ministry of War.
"I'm going!" Jiang Yushi said lightly, and then his figure flickered, turning into a white phantom, and appeared in the ring silently.
This Fulong girl is wearing a white power suit, her posture is straight, her long brown hair flutters in the wind, and the tip of the spear in her hand shines in the sun, exuding a dazzling light, and she is heroic and sassy, like a goddess descending to earth, so beautiful that she is not like an earthly person.
"Miss Jiang. Tie Que's face was serious, and his voice was like a bell, "You must already know the rules of this competition. ”
"Hmm. Jiang Yushi nodded slightly.
In this case, the old man will not repeat it. Tie Que nodded, his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, "Presumably, all of you young Junyan are already eager to try, and you are ready to go, please come to the stage if you want to participate in this competition!"
As soon as the words fell, several people around them rose to the sky at the same time and landed on the ring.
From left to right, they are Xiao Yan of the Xiao family, Ji Lie God of the Ji family, Qiu Jia Qiu Fuji and Gong Qingyun of the Gong family.
At the same time, a green shadow fell from the sky and silently landed in front of the four of them, their bodies fluttering and lifting weights as lightly.
It was Ruoyan, the man in Tsing Yi who was originally on Murong Xiu's side.
"Apart from these five, is there anyone else who is willing to come up and give it a try?" Tie Que's eyes swept over everyone again.
Among the rest of the children of the second-class nobles, there were also several people who coveted Jiang Yushi's beauty and life experience, and they were ready to move, but they were all stopped by the family elders beside them.
"Father, why don't you let the children participate?" asked a young man surnamed Cheng dissatisfied.
"You are a straw bag, you don't know how to learn, can't you even understand such an obvious situation?" his father shouted, "How can a small family like ours be involved in the game between the four top giants?"
"That Tsing Yi man is not from the four major families. The young man muttered quietly, clearly unconvinced.
"Are you blind? Didn't you see this man in Tsing Yi still standing beside His Majesty just now?"
"Father means ......"
"If my father didn't guess wrong, I'm afraid that in His Majesty's mind, this man in Tsing Yi is the ideal candidate for Miss Jiang's husband. ”
"What!" the eyes of the young man surnamed Cheng were full of unwillingness.
"Is there no one left?" Tie Que confirmed again and again, and seeing that no one answered, he said loudly, "Then please draw lots to decide the order of appearance!"
"No need, a few of you, please!" Ruoyan said lightly, and then took a light step and landed outside the ring.
Gong Qingyun and Ji Lieshen glanced at each other, and then jumped out of the ring one after another, obviously unwilling to take the lead.
"Brother Qiu, do you want to make a move?" Xiao Yan turned his head to Qiu Buer and asked.
"You go first!" Qiu Buji shook his head and turned to leave the ring.
"Miss Jiang, please advise!" Xiao Yan had a hearty personality, and seeing that the other four were unwilling to take the lead, he no longer shirked, took down the giant ruler hanging behind his back, stared at Jiang Yushi opposite, and said loudly.
"Come!" Jiang Yushi's spear shook in his hand, and his mouth snorted.
"Be careful!" Xiao Yan kicked his feet, his body flashed, and he appeared in front of Jiang Yushi in an instant, and the huge ruler in his hand swept through thousands of troops, slashing at the opponent's waist.
Jiang Yushi's eyes flickered, and there was a slight mistake under his feet, he easily dodged this powerful blow, and somehow came out in front of Xiao Yan, and the spear in his hand was sent forward, as fast as lightning, and the tip of the spear lit up with dazzling light, drawing a mysterious arc in the air, and hitting Xiao Yan's chest effortlessly.
"Poof!"
Xiao Yan only felt a heartache coming from his chest, blood rushed out of his mouth, and the whole person was like a kite with a broken string, flying backwards fiercely, and slammed down on the ground outside the ring.
"I'll go!"
"I'm not mistaken!"
"It only took one move to determine the winner!"
"They are all masters of the heavenly wheel, Xiao Yan can't take Miss Jiang's move!"
"The great cadres are really vulnerable!" This is the voice of Qiu Fuji.
The surrounding melon-eating crowd was in an uproar and there were many discussions, no one expected that this battle would end so quickly.
Xiao Wuxie's face changed, he walked quickly to Xiao Yan's side, and helped him up, only to see that his son's face was like gold paper, his breathing was disordered, and his chest was bleeding like an infusion, and he was seriously injured.
"Miss Jiang!" he raised his head and glared angrily at Jiang Yushi, "It's just a competition to choose a son-in-law, why do you have to be so ruthless?"
"Master Xiao, what Yu Shi cultivates is murder marksmanship. Jiang Yushi's face was as usual, calm and composed, "If it weren't for the mercy of his subordinates, Xiao Gongzi's life would have been lost." ”
"Farewell!" Xiao Wuxian's right hand clenched his fist tightly, and the light in his eyes burst out, but he finally endured it, directly picked up Xiao Yan's body, soared into the air, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Next!" Jiang Yushi turned his head and shook the spear in his hand, indescribably relaxed and chic.
After a moment of silence, Qiu Buer jumped forward, landed opposite her, and drew the long sword at his waist: "I'll come!"
"Please!" Jiang Yushi didn't say much, the lotus foot was light, the delicate body moved sideways, and instantly appeared in front of Qiu Buer, the tip of the spear flashed again, and went straight to the opponent's forehead.
So fast!
Qiu Buer's heart was shocked, and he couldn't see the trajectory of the spear at all.
With the force under his feet, he retreated a few steps back in a panic, and was about to raise his sword to fight back, but he saw that the spear that had originally hit his forehead suddenly sank downward, stabbing himself in the chest at an incredible angle.
"Poof!"
Blood splashed in Qiu Buer's mouth, and he was still mocking Xiao Yan a moment ago, he also failed with one move, and even the injured parts were exactly the same.
There was a sudden silence all around.
