Chapter 30: The First Fight: The Contest (I)

The camp of the Northern Army in Binh Duong began to be renovated a week ago, the damaged wooden fence has been repaired and renovated, and the surrounding weeds have been cleaned up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition, he specially ordered craftsmen to build a main table, spread a red velvet carpet, and put red sandalwood chairs.

The Cao family's sedan team and the county order's team arrived outside the camp one after the other. After presenting the invitation, everyone got out of the car and walked inside.

"How about it, this time the arrangement is magnificent, the old man has spent a lot of effort to buy these century-old rosewood Taishi chairs." Cao Guogui is a tall and thin old man, with slightly white hair on sideburns, and he shows enough confidence in his conversation.

Cheng Xianling knew Cao Guogui's character very well, looked around, and deliberately changed the topic and asked, "Why don't you see your daughter and son?" ”

Cao Guogui glanced at "Cheng Yu", the corners of his mouth rose slightly, touched his beard and said, "Jin Ling will definitely be the last to accompany her master." Sanfu and Xiaoyan said that they wanted to dress up more delicately before coming out, no wonder, for such an important occasion, it was time to dress up well. ”

Such an obvious irony, as Cheng County, who has been in politics for many years, of course understood it as soon as he heard it, his expression did not change, and he looked at the new team coming up at the foot of the mountain, and said: "The Cao family's business is really bigger now. It just so happens that the preferential tax policy of the previous county order is about to expire, and if you are free one day, you might as well come to the county government to sit and sit down, and we will discuss it together. ”

"You ......" Cao Guogui's face turned pale, and the sarcastic words in his mind suddenly stuck in his throat, and he could only stay away from Cheng County's order in a huff.

About half an hour later, the invited famous families all went up the mountain to the camp one after another. Everyone didn't dare to sit down rashly, and they greeted the arrival of the royal family at the door.

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and everyone straightened up, kept smiling, and looked out.

The first to go up the mountain sat in the cyan sedan chair of Pingyang Prefecture, Deng Xingwei. This person is very good at officialdom rhetoric, relying on Zhang Mizui to rise all the way, and in five years, he has risen from an inconspicuous county order in a border city to the position of Futai.

Before the sedan chair arrived at the entrance of the camp, the government ordered someone to get off the sedan chair and hurriedly walked out of the sedan chair. He ordered the palanquin to enter the camp on its own, and began to trot in the opposite direction.

Since the point where the sedan chair dropped off in Futai was at a turn on the mountainside, the people waiting at Yingkou did not know that there was no one in the sedan chair.

Except for the soldiers of the military, everyone saluted the blue sedan chair, and the master who followed the sedan showed an unnoticed smile and did not remind. When the sedan car fell, no one lifted the sedan curtain, and the sedan chair drivers dispersed freely.

Just as everyone looked at each other, a battle of golden war horses slowly walked over.

"It's the third prince and the fifth prince." Everyone only dared to take a slight look, and then they all bowed their heads, and this time, even the soldiers bowed their heads to greet them.

The third prince, Yuwen Zhaoran, wore a pale yellow robe, embroidered green dragons on the cuffs, and hairpins with double gold beads. There is wisdom hidden between this person's eyebrows, and his gaze has been facing forward, even if Deng Xingwei keeps talking to the side, his face still does not change.

The fifth prince, Yuwen Ruo, wore a light cyan armor, and there was a faint double dragon inscription on the neckline. This person's face was a little immature, and he had been looking around curiously, and kept asking Deng Xingwei some interesting things.

"Brother Huang, look! So many people are waiting for us, which one is Master Mu? Yuwen Ruojie looked at the probe excitedly, and saw a group of people in Yingkou neatly lined up in two columns, all with the same expression, waiting respectfully.

"The Divine Master represents the supreme will of the Temple, and naturally he will not wait for us. Rest assured, the hour is still early, and we should arrive first as juniors. Yuwen looked at the sky clearly, roughly calculated what had happened, and replied indifferently.

"Greetings to the three princes, greetings to the five princes. The prince Chitose, Chitose, Chitose. The soldiers knelt down on one knee, the rest of the men knelt on both knees, and everyone saluted solemnly.

Yuwen Ruojie rarely goes out of the palace in ordinary times, and the first time he encounters such a battle, it is naturally too novel; Yuwen Zhaoran looked cold, and after everyone finished saluting, he said calmly:

"You've done a great job, flat."

"Thank you, Third Prince!" Everyone replied in unison and got up one after another. There was a lot of sand in the camp, and everyone kneeled like this with yellow mud on their knees. Some people who don't understand the rules want to brush it away with their hands, but they are stopped by the people next to them. This kind of "dusty" faux pas can only be quietly dusted off in private when the princes sit on their seats.

The prefect Deng Xing smiled flatteringly, raised his finger and said, "Two princes, please take a seat......"

Before he could finish speaking, a metal clatter came from a distance, and a sturdy middle-aged man stepped forward quickly, stood and saluted: "The last general, Song Yi, greet the two princes." ”

Song Yi, the general of the Pingyang General Army, commanded 100,000 elite soldiers.

Deng Xingwei's face was displeased, but he didn't dare to attack. On the contrary, Yuwen Zhaoran's expression changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "The general has come all the way, and it has been hard." Come, let's sit and talk. ”

As a veteran general in the frontier, Song Yi naturally understands the style of officialdom. The prince smiled, and he smiled back, and when he walked, he followed the two princes half a step, and when he sat down, he had to wait for the princes to sit down before he sat down. If you salute your feet, you will not fall on your tongue.

There are only four seats in the main seat, and the prefect is not qualified to sit on it, so he can only stand on the side. The three princes sit in the middle seat, the fifth prince sits on the far right, and Deng Xing sits on the left side of the three princes. The vacant seats are naturally reserved for the Divine Master.

The prince sat down, and the servants on both sides could also sit down. However, the royal horse fighting competition still could not start.

A stick of incense time passed, Deng Xingwei stood a little blue, the sun in early spring should not be fierce, I didn't expect the sun on the top of the mountain to be so poisonous.

"Third prince, why don't you let the game start first? Master Mu may not really be there. Deng Xingwei suggested softly.

"The Divine Master won't be there?! Why did you call me here! Yuwen Ruo's ears were sensitive, and he immediately said unhappily after hearing this suggestion.

Deng Xingwei really wanted to slap himself at this moment, the third prince came to apprentice, why did he say this!

"Brother Huang, don't be angry, the divine master will be here soon." Yuwen looked confidently at the sky, as if sensing something.

Yuwen Ruojie looked in the direction of his gaze and sighed lightly.

On the horizon, two sword lights, one in front of one and one behind, one white and one green came to the military camp quickly. Everyone present couldn't react, only to see the afterimage of the sword light passing in front of their eyes, and there were already two people standing in front of the main seat.

"I'm not late." Mu Yuanzhi was still wearing the same white robe, and the sword had already flown back to his waist before landing.

The girl in Tsing Yi standing on the side was Cao Jinling, at this time she looked indifferent, and did not look at the two princes present, but slowly put away her sword.

The two princes got up, the general got up, and everyone present got up one after another.

"I've seen Master Mu." The two princes hugged their fists, Yuwen Ruojie was a little excited, and took a step forward.
