Chapter 284: The Drawing of Lots
The Marquis of Zhongyi and the King of Huainan also came on horseback, that is, the Marquis of Ximen also brought Qu Xiaocang to the martial arts field, and the generals who came to watch the battle also knelt on the ground, watching Longtai get down from the car, and then surrounded by the Marquis of Zhongyi and others to the beautifully decorated Guanwu platform, the audience shouted long live, Longtai yellow robe dragon crown, and sat down on the golden chair. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Chi Fengdian, the commander of Yulin, had already led the elite soldiers of Yulin to set up sentry posts around the Guanwu platform.
At this time, I saw Gonggong Fan, who was waiting with him, coming to Qi Ning's side and inviting Qi Ning to climb the viewing platform.
Although Qi Ning is also one of the contestants participating in the competition today, he is also the Marquis of Jinyi of the Great Chu Empire, and he also has a seat on the viewing platform.
The Marquis of Zhongyi and the King of Huainan sat next to Longtai on the left and the right, Ximen Wuxian sat under the King of Huainan, and Qi Ning sat under the Marquis of Zhongyi.
The viewing platform is higher than the military platform, so sitting on the viewing platform, you can see everything that happens on the martial arts arena at a glance.
The generals and civil officials who watched the battle all sat on the chairs set up around the platform, and the platform was surrounded by the elite soldiers of the Tiger God Battalion, so that people could not get close.
At this time, the military attachés and generals plus the soldiers watching the battle in the Tiger God Battalion, there were nearly 1,000 people in the martial arts field, and the black pressure was pressed, and the flags were waved in the wind, and the hunting sounded.
Longtai turned his head and glanced at Qi Ning, and saw that Qi Ning was calm and calm, and there was no nervousness and anxiety before the game, and his heart was slightly calm.
In fact, Longtai also knew in his heart that although there were only three people participating in the competition today, if you really want to talk about it, Qi Ning's hope of winning the top spot is the weakest.
The Marquis of Zhongyi stroked his beard, but the King of Huainan was also full of spring breeze.
"Emperor Qiqi, Qu Yanzhi and Jiang Suiyun are already waiting, I wonder if the martial arts competition can start?" Xue Lingfeng was dressed in armor and knelt down on one knee under the viewing platform, his voice was loud.
Long Tai was about to speak, but he still turned his head to look at the Marquis of Zhongyi and asked, "Marquis Zhongyi, can you start?" ”
When the King of Huainan saw that Longtai was going to ask the Marquis of Zhongyi first, he glanced at the Marquis of Zhongyi, and a chill crossed his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the three participants in the competition have already arrived." Zhongyi Hou got up, bowed and said, "Since this is the case, there is no need to delay. He said loudly: "Qu Yanzhi, where are Jiang Suiyun and the others?" ”
I saw two people coming out of the crowd on the left and right, one was the person in the strong clothes and pants that Qi Ning had seen before, with a bow and a knife on his back, and the other person was naturally Jiang Suiyun.
Under the gaze of everyone, when the two arrived at the viewing stage, they both knelt on the ground and reported their homes.
Sima Lan, the Marquis of Zhongyi, bowed his hand to Longtai and said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jinyi has a noble status, and Jiang Suiyun is a subordinate of Mr. Zhuo, can you let the two of them compete?" ”
Before Long Tai could speak, Qi Ning had already smiled and said: "Old Marquis, this is not right, it is really me, as a marquis, I have to be more open-minded, let these two compete first." And to tell the truth, in today's martial arts competition, I am just a fungivers, and there is no hope from the beginning, which can be seen by a blind person. He got up, walked in front of Longtai, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, although today is a martial arts competition, but the emperor is here in person, naturally there will be a wonderful competition. ”
King Huainan suddenly smiled and said: "This contest is naturally to be fair. No matter who compares first, if the physical exertion is extremely exertional, it is natural to set aside time for a good rest. After a pause, he said: "Jinyi Hou is open-minded and admirable, but ...... The emperor and the ministers thought that if they really wanted to be fair, they could draw lots to discuss the priority. ”
Longtai naturally knew what Zhongyi Hou meant, Jiang Suiyun and Qi Ning took the lead in the martial arts competition, which consumed physical strength, and the number of martial arts roads was displayed in front of people first, which was naturally disadvantageous.
After all, the Marquis of Zhongyi is scheming, although Qu Yanzhi seems to be in the lead, but he is still cautious, as long as Qi Ning and Jiang Suiyun hand over first, these two people are naturally unwilling to be eliminated, and they are bound to go all out, and in the battle, the level of ability can be seen.
"Okay, what King Huainan said is right, let's draw lots and talk about the priority." Long Tai immediately nodded and said to Xue Lingfeng: "Xue Lingfeng, you are going to draw lots." ”
Xue Lingfeng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a simple method, the minister can hold three small wooden sticks, two long and one short, and the two who draw the long one can compete first, I don't know what the holy will is?" ”
Long Tai bowed his head and said, "That's fine." ”
Xue Lingfeng turned around and retreated, and soon came back, clenching his fist with his left hand, and three wooden sticks the size of chopsticks emerged from them.
He walked over and stretched out his fist in front of Jiang Suiyun, Jiang Suiyun was calm, stretched out his hand and pulled one out, and then Qu Yanzhi pulled another one, and the two looked at each other, it was the same length.
Xue Lingfeng said: "Your Majesty, the results of the lottery have come out, Jiang Suiyun and Qu Yanzhi have drawn two long lots, and they will take the lead in the competition." ”
"So, what is left in Commander Xue's hand is a short lot?" King Huainan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It seems that this is the will of heaven." ”
Xue Lingfeng seemed to hear what King Huainan said, and pulled the last wooden stick out of his fist with two fingers of his left hand, and it was really shorter than the other two, he didn't speak, arched his hand, turned around and retreated.
Qi Ning thought to himself, could it really be that he was so lucky? But he faintly felt that things should not be so simple, he knew that Xue Lingfeng should be regarded as his own person, and he presided over the wooden sign, and he may not have done anything in the middle.
"Jiang Suiyun, Qu Yanzhi, the two of you will compare first." Zhongyi Hou said in a deep voice: "In the competition, try to point to the end, don't shoot too hard and hurt the other party." ”
King Huainan also said: "Yes, try not to hurt the other party, although the sword has no eyes, but if you really want to die, the emperor will not spare it." ”
When Qi Ning heard this, he felt that there was a murderous motive hidden in the words of these two people.
They only said that they should try not to hurt people, but they did not say that they must not hurt people, and the king of Huainan even said not to cause trouble, but it was like saying that as long as no one died, even if the opponent was seriously injured, it was okay.
Jiang Suiyun and Qu Yanzhi both bowed their hands and said yes, and then Jiang Suiyun turned to Qu Yanzhi and smiled: "Deputy Commander Qu, in the three battles, do we compare fists and feet first, or do we compare blades first?" "But he didn't mention horse shooting.
Qu Yanzhi's face was expressionless, and he said: "The three formations have to be compared, it doesn't matter what is compared first and then what, Jiang Gongzi can compare what he wants first." ”
When Qi Ning heard this, he thought that this Qu Yanzhi only had absolute self-confidence, so he would be so calm.
In fact, there were nearly 1,000 people present, and almost all of them believed in their hearts that Qu Yanzhi would easily win the top spot today.
Qu Yanzhi's reputation in the military is not small, not to mention that his opponent at this moment is the polite Jiang Suiyun, this boy has fine skin and tender meat, and almost none of the soldiers present have ever seen it, and from the perspective of appearance, it is impossible to compare with Qu Yanzhi.
Jiang Suiyun said with a smile: "That's the case, Jiang heard that Deputy Commander Qu has a good knife technique, I wonder if he can ask Deputy Commander Qu for a knife technique?" ”
His voice was not loud, but many people could hear it clearly, and some people immediately wanted to laugh in their hearts.
Qu Yanzhi's sword skills are famous, and they can be said to be extremely loud, and today, whether in the army or above the rivers and lakes, there are countless people who practice swords.
The knife technique is the easiest to use, but it is rare to really practice the top knife technique.
Very few people who know Qu Yanzhi quite well even know that Qu Yanzhi has been practicing knife skills since he was a child, and he has a very solid foundation, and before he was recruited into the black knife camp, he was already quite famous in the rivers and lakes.
When the Black Knife Battalion was formed, the selection of people was extremely strict, but anyone who entered the camp must have a certain foundation in knife skills, so many people in the Black Knife Battalion were actually from the rivers and lakes.
When Qu Yanzhi entered the camp that year, Chu Cangge, the commander of the Black Knife Battalion, personally inspected the knife technique, and it is said that even Chu Cangge could not beat Qu Yanzhi in the knife technique, so Qu Yanzhi was recommended by Chu Cangge as the deputy commander of the Black Knife Battalion.
Now this Jiang Suiyun is not ashamed, as soon as he came up, he actually wanted to compete with Qu Yanzhi for his sword skills, and many people felt that this Jiang Suiyun was really humiliating.
Qu Yanzhi's face was expressionless, he turned around and walked to the point platform, untied the longbow and arrow box, and put it on the edge of the point platform, kicked his legs, and his figure was like a swallow, he had already jumped on the point platform and landed on it steadily.
After all, this Qu Yanzhi is from the military, and Jiang Suiyun is just a cloth cloth, even if he is a soldier of the Tiger God Battalion, he also hopes that Qu Yanzhi can show his prestige as a military representative.
Jiang Suiyun walked up to a Yulin soldier, glanced at the soldier's waist with a sword, and said with a smile: "Can I borrow your sword?" ”
The soldier was stunned, a little surprised, turned his head to look at Chi Fengdian, the leader of the Yulin not far away, and saw Chi Fengdian bowing slightly, so he took off his saber and handed it to Jiang Suiyun.
The crowd watching the battle was in an uproar.
Today's martial arts competition is not trivial, it is related to the position of the commander of the Black Scale Battalion, Qu Yanzhi is very well prepared, whether it is a longbow or a saber, he brought it personally, but he didn't want this Jiang Suiyun to be so casual.
Although the weapons of the Yulin Army are also the best equipment, there is naturally a big gap between the saber of a Yulin soldier and the saber of Qu Yanzhi.
Qi Ning looked at it in his eyes, but his eyebrows were already solemn.
The king of Huainan said that as long as no one was killed, he acquiesced to the two sides to do their best, even if they injured the opponent, they could not be held accountable.
This is not Qionglin Academy, so you can't be chic, once you make a move, it will definitely be dangerous.
This Jiang Suiyun looked so calm and calm, but it made Qi Ning feel that this guy must have a trick.
It's just that in front of everyone's eyes, what tricks can he use without being seen through?
Jiang Suiyun held a knife in one hand, and then slowly walked to the platform, and did not jump up like Qu Yanzhi, but walked up from the stairs of the stage in an orderly manner.
Qu Yanzhi was like a strong pine, his body was straight, and he was holding a big knife scabbard in his left hand, Jiang Suiyun stood three or four steps away from Qu Yanzhi, looked Qu Yanzhi up and down, and said with a smile: "Deputy Commander Qu, please advise!" He drew his broadsword and tossed it aside.
