Chapter 40: Rookie Competition
The emperor looked at the situation that had finally stabilized, and hurriedly gave a look to the personal eunuch on the side, and the eunuch received the emperor's signal as if he was fine, and hurriedly spoke.
"Wait for the silence! It is now announced that the Beimuguo Newcomer Contest has officially begun! ”
With the eunuch's order, the bell in the hall rang one after another, and everyone stood up, waiting for the solemn announcement from the referee.
The Emperor slowly rose from his seat and announced in a deep voice.
"The young talents participating in the competition are the future pillars of my Beimu country, I hope you will do your best to get back the light that belongs to you!"
After that, everyone saluted in unison, and then the Ombudsman of the match announced the pre-match requirements and the winner's reward as usual.
"The rules of the annual rookie competition are as follows, the first game is a scuffle, the one who falls off the high platform is defeated, and the winner who stays on the high platform wins, the winner continues to play the second two-by-two duel, draw lots to determine your opponent, if it is empty, go directly to the next game, after the end of a round, the winner continues to draw lots until the winner of the year is selected. Once the game starts, no withdrawal is allowed, and the winner will be decided by the referee! The rules are as above, and those who do not comply with the results will be invalid! Now announced, the Newcomer Contest has officially begun! ”
The Luo family participated in the competition this time Luo Jiuxi, Luo Wencheng, and Luo Xiaobei, Luo Xiaobei is a side branch of the Luo family, and there is not much intersection with the two of them, just because they are old and their strength is not weak, they were crossed the road from Luo Tianxiong to represent the Luo family in the competition.
The first melee is a real melee, the high platform can only accommodate half of the number of participants, everyone must protect themselves while knocking the opponent off the high platform, the scene was very chaotic for a while, Luo Jiuxi and Li Xiqian looked at each other in pairs, as if they were competing with each other, and in a blink of an eye, most of the field was missing.
"It's time for a stick of incense, the game is over!"
The referee gave an order, the game ended here, and the rest of the field were the big families in the capital, especially the Luo family and the Monk Shufu and the Mu family, there was no one less, and most of the people eliminated in this game were not strong enough, and they were also spared the pain of waiting for the flesh and skin.
There will be a period of rest from the end of the first game to the start of the second game, and those who lose can choose to leave, or they can sit in the exclusive audience to watch the game, many of them were lifted by Li Xiqian and Luo Jiuxi, and they couldn't help but sit on the audience, and the sound of discussion gradually sounded for a while.
Passerby A: "I'm here to see how powerful these two people are, and the kick just now didn't kick my ribs......"
Passerby B: "Eh, it's really, that Li Xiqian looks so weak, and she is really ruthless, you see that the bag on my head is the one she beats......"
Passerby C: "I bet on Li Xiqian at the time, but looking at Luo Jiuxi's strength is not bad, this estimate is a bit hanging."
......
As the time of a stick of incense ended, the second game began, this one was a two-on-two duel, no one had a bamboo tube in front of them, in which the names of all the winners on the field were written, and whoever they drew would play against.
Luo Jiuxi glanced at Li Xiqian's direction from afar, she didn't want to match her so quickly, the bet between them can be said to tug at everyone's hearts, and naturally the further back they go, the more attractive they are.
The results of the draw soon appeared, and Luo Wencheng didn't know when he came to Luo Jiuxi's side and asked.
"Jiu'er, who did you draw? Don't be Li Xiqian, I've heard about the bet between the two of you, and you put silver into it, and the result came out so quickly, it's really not a surprise to me at all. ”
Listening to Luo Wencheng's joke, Luo Jiuxi's mood suddenly became relaxed, thinking of the name in the palm of his hand that he hadn't had time to see, he glanced at Luo Wencheng playfully and said.
"Second brother, I'm afraid your wish will be shattered, I have to win this game!"
After saying that, he opened his palm, and the name on the bamboo stick appeared in front of the eyes of the two people, and Luo Wencheng saw the words written on it clearly and said in a deep voice.
"Mu Yanhuan, it seems that my silver is coming."
Luo Jiuxi took the skewer and looked at it for a while, then looked at Mu Yanhuan who was snuggled in Mu Chenyu's arms not far away, and looked at his brother beside him and said funny.
"Second brother, take advantage of your wealth obsession, this game, say whatever you say, you have to win."
Luo Wencheng looked at this quirky little girl dotingly, and returned to his seat after a few words.
Mu Yanhuan didn't know how happy she was when she learned that her opponent was Luo Jiuxi, and she would return it to her twice as much when she was insulted in public just now!
Soon it was the turn of the two of them to play, and from a long distance, Luo Jiuxi felt Mu Yanhuan's hostility towards him, and flew up to the high platform arrogantly in a water-red skirt, Luo Jiuxi's cold and arrogant temperament squinted at Mu Yanhuan, as if he was looking at something that he couldn't do.
Mu Yanhuan also felt the contempt from Luo Jiuxi, as the eldest lady of the Mu family, where had she received this kind of treatment, and immediately couldn't hold back her anger and said.
"Luo Jiuxi, don't be too arrogant! When the time comes, you will become my subordinate, but don't cry! ”
With the sound of the bell, the bell rang and the game officially began. Luo Jiuxi's playful eyes looked at Mu Yanhuan who was shouting not far away, and snorted lightly, this attitude was immediately annoyed, and he flew to Luo Jiuxi's side.
Luo Jiuxi looked at Mu Yan Huan and was already in a panic, and a smile quietly flashed in her deep eyes, this little girl is still too tender, she can't stand it at all, isn't this deliberately releasing water to her opponent?
Such an easy way to win is in front of him, of course Luo Jiuxi will not let it go, a smile rose at the corner of his lips, taking advantage of Mu Yanhuan's attack on his own space, he kicked the situation, and Mu Yanhuan was instantly taken off the stage by his own strength, and everyone looked at this series of reversals, and couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock.
Passerby A: "This is too powerful, there is no force at all!"
Passerby B: "Isn't this a cheat?"
Passerby C: "This is completely Mu Yanhuan's own stupidity!"
Everyone's discussion fell into Mu Yanhuan's ears without any difference, she was so embarrassed to be like this, the big words she had just released were slapped in the face at this time, and she suddenly wanted to find a crack to hide herself in.
Luo Jiuxi looked at Mu Yanhuan in the audience, and got off the stage calmly, there is no doubt that Luo Jiuxi won this game, and the next round of duel will be held soon.
Her next is Luo Xiaobei, although Luo Xiaobei is small, he has a lot of strength, he can be said to be a rising star, and his game is still worth watching.
Luo Jiuxi took the handkerchief handed over by his subordinates and wiped his sweat, he wanted to sit next to Luo Tianxiong and watch the game, but he didn't think that Yan Xiao, who was hidden in the crowd, waved at him, and looked at Luo Xiaobei, who was playing in full swing in the stands, and quietly came to Yan Xiao's side and asked.
"What's wrong with coming here?"
Yan Xiao watched Luo Jiuxi come to his side, stretched out his long arm and brought Luo Jiuxi into his arms, buried his head deep in Luo Jiuxi's neck socket, and his thin lips came from the pinna of his ears through his cheeks to the soft sweetness, and he kissed him deeply.
"Of course, I want to praise such an excellent Miss Luo."
Luo Jiuxi faced Yan Xiao, his cheeks were slightly red, and he looked at the people around him watching the battle on the stage, and he had no choice but to do what he wanted. Yan Xiao firmly encircled her in his arms, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with the two of them.
Luo Jiuxi continued what Yan Xiao had just said.
"And how are you going to praise me?"
Yan Xiao looked at Luo Jiuxi in his arms, raised his eyebrows with a wicked smile, and said with a smile.
"Didn't you just praise it?"
Luo Jiuxi instantly understood that Yan Xiao was referring to the kiss just now, his cheeks suddenly turned red to the root of his ears, and he patted Yan Xiao vigorously and said.
"You're a hooligan!"
When Yan Xiao heard this, he hugged Luo Jiuxi a little tighter, and said flatteringly.
"Okay, okay, so be it, you can pick my baby, just take it if you like it."
Luo Jiuxi rolled his eyes, thought for a moment and said.
"That's pretty much it!"
Luo Xiaobei won this game without any suspense, Luo Tianxiong watched his two generals win the victory, Luo Wencheng must have no problem there, a slightly old face was full of smiles, and Yu Guang saw Yan Xiao and Luo Jiuxi in the audience, and the smile in his eyes was even stronger.
And Luo Jiuxi coincidentally met Luo Tianxiong's gaze, only to feel that this gaze was inevitably too familiar, and then looked closely at it turned out to be his grandfather, and immediately panicked, retreated Yan Xiao and pulled the distance between the two.
When he looked at Luo Tianxiong again, his gaze had shifted to the high platform, as if the staring at each other just now had not happened, sitting there calmly, not moving for half a minute, if it weren't for his palm tapping the table slightly, Luo Jiuxi really wanted to believe that what had just happened was his own assumption.
was discovered by his elders, Luo Jiuxi always had a feeling of weakness, so he had to honestly return to the Luo family's seat and sit, counting the time, it was almost time to draw lots again.
Sure enough, the palace people rushed in with bamboo tubes, and half of the people on the field were eliminated again, and when it was Luo Jiuxi's turn to show the bamboo sticks, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.
Luo Jiuxi looked at everyone's reactions, and couldn't help but glance at his bamboo sticks, because the second round of lottery was a blind draw, and Luo Jiuxi had just learned the words on his bamboo sticks.
Looking at it this way, Luo Jiuxi himself was shocked, only to see that his bamboo stick was a blank, and the referee had said the rules when he started the game, drawing an empty lot meant that there was no opponent in this game, and he would directly enter the next round.
It is a rare thing to draw an empty lot, the empty lottery is also known as the lucky lot, you can enter the next round without a competition, this is an opportunity that some people dream of, Luo Jiuxi's expression was faint, and let the palace people take away the bamboo sticks, for her, it was just to recuperate.
Luo Tianxiong looked at Yan Xiao under the stand, then looked at Luo Jiuxi beside him, and said with a light cough.
"You don't have to participate in this game, you can go down there and stroll, stay here and don't get bored."
Hearing this, Luo Jiuxi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that his grandfather was pointing at Yan Xiao below, and immediately blushed and said angrily.
"Grandpa! Don't make fun of Jiu'er! ”
Seeing his granddaughter like this, Luo Tianxiong couldn't help but laugh and stopped talking, looked at Yan Xiao's figure below, and said silently.
"That can only wronged my grandson-in-law."
Luo Jiuxi glanced at Luo Tianxiong faintly, changed his posture to sit upright, and watched the fierce battle on the high platform seriously.
The next many draws were drawn and directly entered the next round, seeing that so many empty lots fell into Luo Jiuxi's hands, it was inevitable that people would be suspicious, and finally Li Xiqian also drew empty lots, which made the rumors self-defeating.
Luo Jiuxi was still thinking about how to fight back against them when the time came, now it's okay, and she doesn't have to bother with that tongue.
However, Li Xiqian's expression was not very good-looking, and when he returned to his seat, he passed by Luo Jiuxi and said faintly.
"Luo Jiuxi, I helped you block so many gossips this time, how are you going to thank me?"
When Luo Jiuxi heard this, a shrewd light flashed in his eyes, since he had come to thank him, he couldn't let people go back empty-handed.
