Today is undoubtedly the most lively day in the 100-year history of Anji City Cockfighting Terrace. In the spacious square, the flow of people from the five-lake-four-sea surged, and the noisy noise made Li Ji's head, which had just slipped in, dizzy, like a swarm of flies entwined in his ears, making people upset.

Looking at the magnificent square and the luxurious cockfighting platform, Li Ji smacked his lips, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "It seems that the ticket to the "Chicken King Competition" is exchanged for the private candy candied fruit! Today, there are many guards outside the square, and you will never be able to enter without an admission ticket!"

Cockfighting platform, east, west, north and south four directions respectively set up four big gongs and drums, young and beautiful female drummers stand aside, all dressed in red long skirts, graceful posture, willow thin waist, graceful, colorful ribbons of shawls on both sides raised with the wind, revealing round-lubricated crisp-shoulders, set off exquisitely floating-convex, people can't help but want to take a few more looks.

A drum sounded and shook the audience, and the eyes of everyone on the scene were attracted to the stage.

"Knock knock! knock knock!", I saw the female drummer raise her hands, the drum stick rotated rapidly in her hand, and the rhythm was violently beaten, the drum beat became more and more dense, and everyone's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, like ten thousand horses galloping, and like spring thunder rolling, with a monstrous momentum to pull up the mountain and fall to the ground, people can't help but wonder if it is a heavenly soldier descending to earth?

The gongs and drums were silenced, accompanied by the cheers and whistles of the audience, and under the gaze of countless pairs of blazing eyes, a young woman wearing a purple long dress moved slightly, and walked onto the cockfighting platform, with a concave and convex figure, showing a charming demeanor.

"Everyone, I believe that everyone's mood at the moment is the same as Liu Piaopiao's mood, surging blood and indescribable. Her charming eyes swept over the thousands of viewers, her red lips opened slightly, and her slightly coquettish voice smiled slightly, "Today we are fortunate to hold the 'Chicken King Competition' in Anji County, which is outstanding, this event is jointly sponsored by the Northern Wei Dynasty, Wuman, Minyue, and Southern Qi, which is a grand event that transcends national boundaries, different skin colors, different languages, regardless of national borders, because of the same competitive spirit, integrated into a Datong society, and become the common adherence of all people in the world!"

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became hot, looking at the people who couldn't help but swallow their saliva, Li Ji blinked indifferently: he is worthy of being the chief emcee from the capital, and he really lives up to his name. Are these people coming to see the Chicken King Contest or to see Liu Piaopiao? It's really puzzling.

Thinking about it, Li Ji shook his head, glanced at the surging crowd lightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of disdain.

Looking at the blazing eyes in the field, Liu Piaopiao's heart was also a little proud, years of stage experience, let her understand how attractive her beauty is to men, so the red lips raised a trace of charm, eyes in front of the stage, when the eyes swept to Li Ji's handsome face, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"This young man has handsome facial features, a perfect face, dark and deep eyes, and a charming color, there are such young talents in the small county town of Anji?" I saw the young man's wandering eyes, and he didn't seem to show much interest in her appearance, speech and demeanor.

Liu Piaopiao frowned slightly, took his eyes off Li Ji, bowed deeply to the audience, his fair face was full of seductive charm, and he chuckled and said: "Fighting and mustard wings to fight for heroes, two-distance blades are majestic." Chinese cockfighting has a long history, a long history, today's ceremony, will transcend time and space, create a legend, after the preliminary competition in full swing in each competition area, the four major cockfighting kings who entered the finals are: Wuman's 'bull god', the Northern Wei Dynasty's 'living Yama', Minyue's 'wine fighter', Qi's 'scorching'......"

The lights on the stage were suddenly brightened, and the four chicken trainers slowly walked into the stage with the participating chicken kings, showing their style, and the audience continued to shout.

Liu Piaopiao raised her slender tender hand and slowly drew a graceful arc, gently staying in the air, the audience was silent for a moment, her narrow beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she said with satisfaction: "The contestants are clearly marked, A - 'Bull God', B - 'Living Yama King', C - 'Wine Fighter', D - 'Burning Heaven'." This year, the title of Doudi will be decided, and the bounty will be 5,000 taels of silver. After you read carefully, you can place your bets on the betting table. The Chicken King Tournament has officially begun......"

"The black barbarian chicken is well-bred, tall, stout and strong, strong in combat, Niu God, I will bet on you, haha. Sitting in the comfortable chair in the front row, the Yunnan black barbarian ghost lord squinted at the other participating fighting cocks, the corners of his mouth showed a touch of disdain, he stroked his thick long beard, and shouted with laughter.

"Hmph, don't look at the Northern Wei Dynasty's 'Living Hades' is small, but it is fierce and tenacious, it is a ruthless character......" took off the felt hat and flicked the dust on it, the Northern Wei envoy Tuoba Sui, who was sitting on one side, his face turned slightly red, and he pouted, it turned out to be a sixteen-year-old boy, with a slightly immature white face, indifferent eyes, and seemed to deliberately provoke.

"A big and a small one doesn't mean anything, skill is the key to victory or defeat!" "Minyue King ** is not to be outdone, "wine fighter" from Minyue Zhangzhou, fought all over Minyue, rare opponents, he is very confident that "wine fighter" will be able to become famous in a battle, bringing supreme glory to Minyue country.

"It seems that everyone has brought a magic weapon to participate in the competition! The 'Burning Heaven' of the Central Plains, which was carefully domesticated by the Qi State, is not in vain. Holding the jasper cup and sipping the fragrant tea, Xiao Luan smiled at the corner of his mouth, revealing an elegant atmosphere. This year's Chicken King Competition, not only is it a matter of personal future, but also has a clear and secret struggle between countries, as the special envoy of Qi and the host of Anji County, Xiao Luan has been carefully prepared for many years, which can be described as painstaking.

The stage is lively, and the audience is also very exciting, the envoys of the four countries, you have a word, each has its own opinions, and no one is convinced by anyone in the bottom of my heart. In fact, everyone understands that strength is the key to victory or defeat, just like the contest between countries, it is not just by lip service that can be won.

With a wail, the Yunnan Wuman "Bull God" was the first to be eliminated by the Northern Wei Dynasty "Living Yama King".

With a bang, the palm of the Yunnan black barbarian ghost lord slapped the coffee table, turning into powder in an instant, and his face was blue and scolded: "I was eliminated in the first round, I really came with excitement and returned with defeat......

A middle-aged man sitting behind Xiao Luan, wearing a purple robe, with a golden silk spider stripe belt tied around his waist, with a hint of nobility in his handsomeness, he stretched out a hand, supporting half of his head with some irritability, his hair was slightly messy, wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, and looking restlessly at the "Lietian" of Qi who was fighting fiercely on the stage, and his opponent was the Minyue "Wine Fighter".

"Xiao Yan, seeing that you are impatient, you want to win again, right?" Xiao Luan whispered in his ear, both are relatives of the Great Qi Emperor, and the two move around frequently and have a close relationship.

"Hmm...... It's okay......" Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly, his eyes flashed a touch of unease, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Since he was transferred to the border defense of Anji County to join the army, because of the remote location, there has been no war for a long time, and the days are leisurely. To be happy is to be happy, but Xiao Yan has long been unable to make ends meet and is stretched thin by relying on his meager income.

There are risks in doing anything, there are profits and losses in doing business, and the cockfighting and lackeys in the market are like dancing on the tip of a knife, so it is better not to mess with this thing.

On the stage, the Central Plains "Lietian" suddenly spread its wings and flew up, condescending, fiercely launched a fierce attack, pecked the "wine fighter", the claws were like silver hooks, the hook hook saw blood, and struck the opponent, after the "wine fighter" was hit by continuous heavy blows, it seemed to be drunk, staggered a few steps, and fell down with a bang.

"Yay! Win!" Li Ji, who was standing on the edge of the corner, was the first to jump up and scream excitedly, whistled, and immediately caused the audience to burst into laughter.

"The scorching sky is good!"

"Awesome, the strength of Qi is too strong. ”

"What a wonderful duel. ”

......

Only the "Lietian" of Qi and the "Living Yama" of the Northern Wei Dynasty were left on the cockfighting platform.

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, took out a stack of land deeds from his sleeve, walked to the betting table, and bet on the "Burning Heaven" handicap of Qi State.

The most exciting duel is like a game between masters, and the outbreak is in an instant.

......

"This round of the Chicken King Competition, the last ...... With the Northern Wei Dynasty's 'Living Yama' won two games, won the crown, and was crowned the 'Dou Emperor', followed by the 'Lietian' of the Qi Kingdom, the 'Dou Sheng', and the 'Wine Fighter' was named the 'Fighter'......" The tongue lotus spit lightly, Liu Piaopiao stroked the hanging hair, quietly raised between the eyebrows, and his face was full of charm, "Please have the VIPs who participate in the betting to settle the bet table in an orderly manner." ”

The audience was happy, some people were elated, and some beat their chests.

"It's over, it's all over......" Xiao Yan's face was as earthy as earth, his brows were furrowed, and his face was sad and remorseful, he slumped in his chair and muttered to himself.

"Xiao Yan, what's wrong with you?" Seeing his face full of despair, Xiao Luan was a little surprised.

"This ...... To tell you the truth, the younger brother has made a big mistake this time. Xiao Yan cried and mourned, sweat had soaked his clothes, "I have paid all the ancestral land deeds, and I still owe a lot of debts outside...... Brother Xiao, I'm desperate, what do you think I should do?"

"This ......" Xiao Luan pondered for a long time, rolled his eyes, and smiled mysteriously, "It's not that there is no way, it depends on whether you dare to do it?"

"Really? What can I do? What dare not be done, no matter how dangerous it is, I will do it. Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Really, do you sell your heart?" Xiao Luan's eyes narrowed into a line, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a hint of cunning.

"It's all come to this, don't say it's selling my heart, even if it's selling my internal organs, I'll do it. Looking at his strange expression, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be a little stunned, and suddenly felt a trace of coolness on his back, as if there was an ominous omen. But "the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the eyes are red in a hurry", and the thought of having to bear such a huge debt can't be so much to worry about at the moment.

Xiao Luan pulled Xiao Yan to a secluded place.

"That's right, I recently received a secret report that tomorrow at noon, a merchant ship will pass through the waters of Anji, you just need to lead the ship to a remote place, and then kill the boatman, it's as simple as that. ”

"Ah...... Why?"

"Because someone trafficked smuggling money and fornicated with the Northern Wei Dynasty, you killed the boatman without leaving a trace, and I have my own arrangements for the rest. ”

"Ah......" Looking at his resolute eyes, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel scared and worried, and he was silent for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.

"In the future, the wife and children will follow him to be displaced, have no fixed place, avoid debt collection, and be panicked like a scattered dog......" He couldn't help but cry like rain, did not dare to look back, and staggered out of the cockfighting ring, "It doesn't matter if you suffer and are tired, how can you be willing to let the people closest to you live so hard because of your mistakes? Is it really like this?"

Xiao Yan struggled painfully in his heart: "It's okay to kill one person! Perhaps, it's destined in the dark! He has been in the army for more than ten years, and he is still a general, if he gets this wealth, he may have the opportunity to soar to the top ......."

"Okay! I promise you. Xiao Yan suddenly stopped, his clenched hands trembled a little, and he turned to look at Xiao Luan who was smiling, and couldn't help but be a little shocked: when it comes to killing, he can be so calm......
