A dark place in Tingwu County, there are several tombstones.

"The Ten Thousand Tree Ghoul is too impulsive!" In the cemetery, a strange old man's voice was heard.

"The Ten Thousand Tree Ghoul deserves to die, but I seem to smell the breath of a phoenix!" A gloomy old woman's voice came.

"Ji, the Phoenix clan is actually here, and the same is true for Tuhuang!"

In a blink of an eye, it is the day of the competition to recruit relatives, the Tingwu General's Mansion is full of festive atmosphere, and the people in the house are busy with each other.

General Tingwu has a heroic eyebrow, and has a heroic spirit that is rarely seen by a woman.

With many years of battlefield experience, General Tingwu has an extraordinary temperament, but there is some sadness in her eyebrows!

"My Mei'er, mother-in-law will pick a good husband for you this time."

Ting Mei's eyes were slightly red: "Mother, Mei'er still wants to accompany you more." ”

"You are not young, your daughter can marry at sixteen, although my mother is not willing to let you go, but my mother is afraid that she will not be able to protect you, only by finding a strong backer for you, you can live in this troubled world."

Tingmei returned to the room, she sat on a small wooden stool, and asked Peony to comb her hair.

"Miss, you are so beautiful, like a fairy in the sky."

"So what, the fairy becomes an object." Ting Mei lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes were like two small umbrellas, which were extremely moving and lovable.

"Miss, you don't really like that Ao Fenggu, do you?"

Ting Mei said: "This time the recruitment of relatives is nominally held by Tingwu County, but looking at the tired appearance of my mother, I know that she did not do it at all. ”

Peony said: "That miss, let's go find the old ancestor, the matter of the old ancestor has not been solved." ”

"The ancestor hasn't appeared for many years, and when I was a child, she gave me this rose belt!" Tingmei stroked the belt around her waist, this rose belt was a birthday gift from her ancestors when she was eight years old.

So, no matter what she wears, she always wears this rose belt around her waist.

"Don't worry, Miss, it's just a family meeting, and it's not a real wedding, so it's a big deal that you won't recognize it in the future. With the support of the ancestors, who are you afraid of! ”

Ting Mei flicked her nails, what she was most afraid of was that the ancestor was no longer alive.

"Let's see what happens tomorrow! I want to sleep! Ting Wu lay down, closed his eyes, and was as quiet as a quiet rose.

In the General's Mansion, there are a lot of people who come to give gifts.

The most nervous is the butler Zhao of the General's Mansion, who began to be busy early in the morning, coordinating large and small affairs in the mansion to ensure the smooth progress of the competition and recruitment.

At this moment, the outside of the general's mansion was crowded with people watching the excitement, all looking forward to the upcoming dowry procession, and the people of Tingwu County had long heard that this competition would be very grand, and many people had already imagined in their minds countless lively scenes of the dowry procession.

Rosacea stood in the distance and said: "This court dance general's mansion, this time it is to make a lot of money, it is said that if you want to participate in the recruitment, you must first give a dowry." ”

"If it's sent cold, how can you participate in the recruitment!"

The crowd chattered and gathered around the streets, ready to see who would be the first to come and give gifts.

"Look, look, the team over there is coming."

"Really? I don't know which wealthy family it is! ”

"Look at that pomp, it must be extraordinary!"

Facing the rising sun, the first team of dowry has appeared in front of everyone's eyes, it is a team composed of ten carriages, led by a huge six-star martial beast - iron-backed earth dragon, on which sits a heroic young man.

Everyone speculated about the identity of the young man, and looking at the convoy in front of them, it was obviously not comparable to ordinary families.

"As soon as I made a move, it was a dowry for ten carriages, I don't know which family's son, but in my opinion, the family must be very solid. If any son can come up with half of the dowry, I will definitely marry without saying a word, I really envy Tingmei, there are so many young talents to pursue. A rather handsome girl in the crowd said jealously.

"That's what kind of identity Tingmei is, General Tingwu's favorite daughter, and the number one beauty in our Tingwu County, whether it is beauty or identity, we can't compare, only enviable." The other woman said, her face full of envy.

In the blink of an eye, the convoy arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, and everyone saw the young man's face clearly. It was a very handsome face, with a natural self-confidence in his eyebrows, and a strong aura of aristocratic children.

The white-clothed young man got down from the body of the iron-backed earth dragon, saluted Steward Zhao, and said, "Wang Feng, the third son of the Wang family in Xiaxijue County, came to participate in the competition held in the General's Mansion to recruit relatives, hoping that the butler would be convenient. ”

Steward Zhao said with a smile: "Prince Wang, please come inside, everyone who comes is a guest." ”

Then he made a gesture of please, and motioned to the subordinates on the side with his eyes to introduce Wang Gongzi into the general's mansion.

Wang Feng and his entourage, under the leadership of his subordinates, walked towards the inner mansion of the general's mansion, and soon the ten carriages disappeared in front of everyone's eyes. As for Wang Feng's family background, no one present was clear, but in terms of the number of dowries, he was definitely a noble child.

"Ten boxes of dowry, do you see, the horse is sweating."

"Haha, you observe so carefully, I only look at that Wang Feng Gongzi, he is really handsome and handsome, people can't take their eyes off!"

"Maybe Tingmei will take a fancy to him."

The housekeeper had just finished receiving Wang Feng, and then a convoy came, but this convoy looked obviously very different from the previous one. First of all, the man at the head looked very tall, should be more than two meters tall, and his body exuded a savage aura, which made people involuntarily retreat a few steps back.

"Hey, who's this guy?"

As the team got closer, people finally got to see each other's faces. The entire team is composed of orcs, the leader of the orcs is more than two meters tall, very muscular, only a small amount of cloth covers the part between the legs, and there are many scars on the chest and arms, which are obviously left in the battle.

Looking at his face again, it is very different from what ordinary people look like. The protruding jaw, the sloping forehead, the two huge fangs showing out of the mouth, and the rough skin make people shudder to look at it.

Their dowry was stored in a wooden box made of wood, which was actually very similar to the usual palanquin, except that it was much larger than the palanquin, and was carried by two half-orcs one after the other.

"They're so ugly!"

"Wear so little!"

Everyone was talking in a whisper, and they all showed a hint of disgust at the half-orc team in front of them. No one has a good impression of the orc in front of him, let alone marrying each other, even if he meets each other, it is too redundant.

"It's best not to let this half-orc achieve the final victory, otherwise Miss Tingmei really doesn't know how to live her life in the future."

"That's it, I can't even look at this half-orc, let alone live together, it's better to live than death, I don't think any human woman wants to marry a half-orc and be each other's wife."

As soon as the words fell, everyone agreed. Steward Zhao had a strong rejection in his heart since the moment he saw the half-orc, but the other party was a guest and came to participate in the competition to recruit relatives, and it was not clearly stated that the half-orc was not qualified to participate in such a competition.

Steward Zhao took a step forward, came to the front of the half-orc, and said, "The contemptible person is Steward Zhao of the General's Mansion, I don't know what Your Excellency is called. ”

Steward Zhao tried his best to make his tone appear natural and not have any emotional color.

The other party looked at Steward Zhao and said, "In the second half of the orc, the second prince Hawke." This time I came to participate in the competition held in the General's Mansion to recruit relatives, and your human race is so rude, so you were sent to greet this prince like this? Hurry up and tell Tingmei to come out, I want to see how my future daughter-in-law looks! Are you worthy of being my daughter-in-law, and give birth to a few little orcs for this prince! “
