Chapter 26: Tournament in the Ring
In the past two days, Miss Cai Jiaqing's martial arts competition to recruit relatives has long been rumored in the capital of Luoqiu Kingdom.
On the large square outside the Shangwu Gate, a huge ring with a square of 30 meters has already been built.
Before noon, the people around the ring watched the excitement, all the way from the front row of the ring to the Shangwu Gate, including the merchants and nobles of other countries, such an unprecedented grand occasion is rare to see in Luoqiu Country for a hundred years.
The Sixth Princes and the Cai family have publicly broken up, which is almost a well-known thing in the Luoqiu Capital, and Luo Wenjin, the confidant of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, has been devoted to Miss Cai for a long time, and everyone knows that Luo Wenjin is determined to win this competition to recruit relatives, so this recruitment ceremony is very important for the two families.
The fourth generation of the Cai family is a general, and one Luo Wenjin can't ruin the reputation of the fourth generation, so the Cai family will definitely do their best to win this battle.
And the only general in Cai's Mansion who can compete with Luo Wenjin, except for General Cai, is Mu Sangzhuo, his daughter's recruitment ceremony, General Cai will naturally not go into battle, although Mu Sangzhuo has a wife and concubine, but for the reputation of the Cai family, only Mu Sangzhuo is on it.
Therefore, it is not so much a competition to recruit relatives, but rather a duel between the two masters of Luoqiu Kingdom!
Mu Sangzhuo has long been famous in Luoqiu Country, but everyone knows that Luo Wenjin's reputation has not been weaker than Mu Sangzhuo in recent years!
Moreover, there are even rumors that Luo Wenjin defeated Mu Sangzhuo in Caifu, no matter whether the rumors are true or not, everyone wants to see the duel between these two masters!
"I heard of Mu Sangzhuo's name when I was in Gusu Kingdom, he is a swordsman with good martial arts and conduct, in Mr. Wang's opinion, who is better between him and Luo Wenjin?"
"If you talk about character, it must be that Mr. Mu is a hundred times stronger than Luo Wenjin, if you talk about martial arts, it is indeed not easy to say! But I think that Cai Fu will definitely be able to defeat the Six Princes!" Mr. Wang, the man in the strong suit, looked at the empty ring and said with deep meaning.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Hearing the neighing of a horse, a young man rode his horse through the crowd and galloped towards the ring.
The young man was dressed in white and rode a horse, looking high-spirited.
This person is today's protagonist, Luo Wenjin.
After Luo Wenjin dismounted, he jumped into the ring in a dashing manner, beckoned to everyone in the audience, and was startled by cheers and discussions.
"Is this Luo Wenjin of the Prince's Mansion?
"After Luo Wenjin became famous overnight from fighting alone against the top ten palace guards, General Mu's reputation was covered up a lot by him!"
"Sure enough, it's a hero out of a boy!"
"Luo Wenjin is arrogant and domineering, General Mu will definitely defeat him, in the name of righteousness!"
In the face of the cheers and discussions from the audience, Luo Wenjin didn't care at all, raised his head and looked at the hour, and said, "It's almost noon, don't the people from Cai Mansion still refuse to come out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a carriage coming slowly from outside the east gate, and the carriage stopped after the Xuanwu Gate, and in the carriage, General Cai stepped off the carriage first, and then, Miss Qing was dressed in a very delicate daughter outfit, jumped down from the carriage, and the manager Cai on the side hurriedly stretched out his left hand and asked Miss Qing to put her hand on it, and the two slowly walked towards the ring.
When the crowd of onlookers saw Miss Qing coming, they hurriedly made way for a road, and Miss Qing and Mr. Cai slowly walked into the ring under the attention of everyone.
Miss Qing was dressed as a daughter, with a veil under her eyes, compared with her usual dress, she had a unique charm, and Luo Wenjin was obsessed with it.
Before Luo Wenjin could come to his senses, General Cai and Miss Qing had already taken their seats in the ring.
The audience shouted in unison: "General Cai!"
General Cai stood up, stretched out his hands, and gestured to everyone.
Wait for the audience to cheer and pass.
The head of the Cai Mansion walked to the center of the stage and said: "The Cai family has been martial for generations, and the Cai family has made countless achievements in order to maintain the peace of Luoqiu. ”
"All of you present, as long as you are of Luoqiu nationality, regardless of your status, you can come to the stage to challenge, Luoqiu Country is a martial state, and General Cai also takes this opportunity to convey the martial spirit to Luoqiu Kingdom!
After speaking, Miss Qing walked into the ring and waved to everyone.
Miss Qing is usually righteous, and has won a lot of hearts in the capital city of Luoqiu, and as soon as Miss Qing stepped into the ring, she won thunderous cheers and cheers from the audience!
"Although I, Cai Qing, am a woman, I have inherited the Cai family tradition, advocating martial arts and believing in the strong, which is also my Cai Qing's mate selection criteria!" After everyone cheered, Miss Qing made a brief speech and returned to her seat.
"Now it's up to me to announce, the ring recruits, start now!" Mr. Cai made his final speech.
Luo Wenjin, who was standing on the side of the ring, was a little impatient to listen to these scenes, he knew that today's final opponent was Mu Sangzhuo, which was also the opponent he dreamed of defeating, only after defeating Mu Sangzhuo, he could truly be called the first master of Luoqiu in Luoqiu Country.
As soon as Manager Cai finished speaking, Luo Wenjin eagerly walked to the center of the ring.
"I, Luo, have been in love with Miss Cai for a long time, as long as anyone in the audience can defeat me, I can kiss Miss Cai, I don't know who dares to come up and challenge?" Luo Wenjin deliberately spoke frivolously to provoke everyone and lead Mu Sangzhuo to appear as soon as possible.
Under Luo Wenjin's repeated provocations, finally someone couldn't help but come up and gamble on their luck.
may be able to live dozens of moves under Luo Wenjin, and be appreciated by General Cai or the Sixth Prince, and become a guest under him.
However, among the martial artists who came up, none of them could go through ten moves in Luo Wenjin's hands.
After the last fat man was kicked out of the ring by Luo Wenjin, for a while, no one dared to go into battle easily.
"Isn't there a master in Luoqiu Country who can live with me in a few moves?" Luo Wenjin raised his eyes with his sword in his hand, and the audience knew that the person Luo Wenjin was referring to was Mu Sangzhuo of Cai Mansion.
Therefore, no one dared to respond, and everyone followed Luo Wenjin's gaze to look around to see if there was Mu Sangzhuo of Cai Mansion hiding around him.
"Since no one dares to go up, then try your luck below!" After speaking, a sturdy young man in a green coat stepped into the ring.
Everyone hurriedly looked at the man, only to see that the man was young, dressed as a scholar, and carrying a bottle of gray cloth wrapped in a piece of cloth on his back, which was about six feet long and one foot wide, and did not look like a sword, and everyone was curious.
"Is that you?" Luo Wenjin saw the man on stage, and the corners of his mouth showed an evil smile. The smile seemed to see an unbearable joke, and it seemed to see a prey to be slaughtered.
"That's right, it's under Ye Xianglun! I said that I will definitely avenge this sword revenge!" Ye Xianglun touched the sword marks on his face, and smiled lightly.
"The show has finally begun!" Seeing Ye Xianglun on the stage, Miss Qing on the stage smiled excitedly.
Everyone in the audience saw that the two actually knew each other, and they were even more discussed.
"Qingming hasn't arrived yet, this young man is carrying a coffin board, this is going to die?!"
"It's a pity that a weak scholar was also overwhelmed by Miss Cai's appearance, alas, it's a pity to have a good time!"
"I'm afraid he doesn't know how powerful Luo Wenjin is, a stunned kid!"
The audience in the audience was not optimistic about this young man, and they all responded with a pity attitude.
"It's Mr. Ye!" Gongzi Sheng in the audience exclaimed when he saw Mr. Ye, who he was eager to see, appear.
"Hahahaha, what a big breath! However, before defeating Mu Sangzhuo, it is also a good choice to have your delicious appetizer! I want you to know that you have to pay the corresponding price for your stubbornness and ignorance!" Luo Wenjin looked up to the sky and smiled, not taking Ye Xianglun to heart at all.
"I can make your appetizer, and I, Ye, can get what I want!" After speaking, Ye Xianglun untied his burden, sat cross-legged, and put an antique guqin on his knees.
The guqin here only has five strings, but Ye Xianglun's guqin is a unique seven-string, Ye Xianglun sorted out the strings, and said to Luo Wenjin in the distance: "Can you start?"
Luo Wenjin saw Ye Xianglun take out the guqin, his expression was slightly stunned, and then he said with disdain: "I want to see what tricks you can play!"
