readx; In the east of Dengzhou City, there is a large open area, where the competition between the Qi family and the Zheng family is held. Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai www.biquge.info really came to the scene in person, and the people in the city were also empty, vying to see this big scene.

The Qi family is in Dengzhou, and it is known as a prestige among the people. Therefore, all the weddings and funerals of the Qi family are a festival worth celebrating for the people of the city. Especially when I heard that this time it was a "competition to recruit relatives", it was rare to see it in decades. The people want to see who can marry the eldest lady of the Qi family who is like a goddess in their minds.

Yuan Keli was out of the city, and Zheng Zhilong had to get off the treasure ship to meet him. But he had been a thief for so long that almost no one believed him, so he still brought a large number of guards. These guards were not all Chinese, but he hired them from all over the East and South Seas at great expense, and they looked like everything. Some are tall, blond, blue-eyed Westerners, some are black men with only white eyes and teeth, and some are short, bald Japanese ronin.

The people were in an uproar when they saw Dengshi, because they had suffered from the Japanese Bandits over the years, and I don't know how many unjust souls died under the sword of the Japanese ronin. Now that these Japanese have come to Dengzhou in a grand manner, the common people, no matter who their subordinates are, all look at them angrily, and some even scold them loudly.

And those samurai also raised their swords without showing weakness, constantly scaring the people. Yuan Keli looked at it from a distance, his heart couldn't help but be angry, and whispered to Qi Xianzong: "General Qi, take a good look!" This is the fast son-in-law you chose? Do you expect them to resist the pirates? This official sees that they are all about to become widows! Looking at the attitude of the people towards them, do you dare to let Zheng Zhibao stay in Dengzhou? Pass the order down, and the three armies will be on alert in case there is a change! ”

Qi Xianzong was full of shame, and at the same time, he was completely disappointed in Zheng Zhilong.

After a short time, Zheng Zhilong came to Yuan Keli surrounded by all the guards, and respectfully bowed and said: "Zheng Zhilong, the last general of Fuzhou and the governor of the navy, see the governor!" ”

In fact, the chief soldier and the governor are both first-class, and the governor is only a second-class governor, and it stands to reason that Zheng Zhilong's official position is greater than that of Yuan Keli. However, because the Ming Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and even used literature to control military force, the status of civil officials was far higher than that of military generals. Not to mention the second-grade governor like Yuan Keli, even the fourth-grade Ning Qiandao Yuan Chonghuan, who can still command the first-grade general soldiers such as Man Gui and Zu Dashou.

Although Zheng Zhilong is unruly, this is not his own territory after all, as the so-called "people go to the eaves and have to bow their heads", they can only pay a big tribute to Yuan Keli in accordance with the practice of officialdom.

Yuan Keli sat upright and accepted his worship calmly, without any intention of supporting. Although Zheng Zhilong had already greeted the eighteen generations of Yuan Keli's ancestors in his heart, he really didn't dare to make a mistake in front of everyone's eyes. Yuan Keli didn't speak, so he didn't dare to get up.

After a long time, Yuan Keli suddenly changed his smile and said, "General Zheng, please get up!" This time, the general led the sailors to come, not only to help the official to exterminate the Japanese invaders, but also to marry the two families of General Qi, which was really a double happiness. However, there is still a competition before getting married, and General Qi invited the official to preside over it to show justice. It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and the official had no choice but to obey his fate. ”

Zheng Zhilong glanced around the statue, and saw that in addition to thousands of people, there were also a large number of Qi family troops maintaining order, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart. After exchanging a few words with Yuan Keli, he said impatiently: "Since you want to compete, please ask the governor to announce the start." ”

Yuan Keli drank two more cups of tea for a long time, and then he stood up and said loudly: "Fathers: Today, the Qi and Zheng families are married, and a competition will be held here. If the Zheng family wins, they can marry the eldest lady of the Qi family smoothly; If the Qi family wins, hey, hey, hey! ”

Among the people, there were some arranged Qi family soldiers, so they coaxed together: "Then where did you come from, go back!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, but Zheng Zhilong's face immediately darkened. He didn't dare to blame Yuan Keli, but whispered to Qi Xianzong: "General Qi, what's going on?" Didn't you say that no matter if you win or lose, you can't change your family? ”

Qi Xianzong smiled and said, "General Zheng doesn't listen to the nonsense of the people, and the governor doesn't mean that." In case Zhibao really loses, it will only be necessary to wait for the competition next year to come back to the competition, how can my Qi family be willing to do that thing of regretting marriage. ”

Zheng Zhilong was a little relieved at this time, and then heard Yuan Keli say: "The representative of the Zheng family is General Zheng Zhibao Zheng who asked the eldest lady to marry!" ”

When Zheng Zhibao heard his name called, he flew into the room, and looked around with his chest folded and his stomach folded, looking quite arrogant. When everyone saw it, they first disliked it, and secretly said that the Qi family was respectful to the people from top to bottom, and there had never been such a madman.

Yuan Keli smiled slightly, and continued: "The representative of the Qi family is this little brother Qi Jian, he is only fifteen years old this year, and he serves as a hundred households in the Qi family's army!" ”

He deliberately emphasized Zhu Youzhen's age, which has a sense of promoting one and suppressing the other. Although the people had never seen Zhu Youzhen, as soon as they heard that he was a member of the Qi family's army, they burst into joy, which was in stark contrast to the whispers of Zheng Zhibao when he appeared just now.

Zhu Youzhen also walked into the entrance at this time, and first waved at the onlookers. The people cheered again, and then he turned to Yuan Keli and the others and gave a deep salute and said: "The last general, Qi Jian, knock to see the governor and General Qi!" Oh yes, and General Zheng. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, and Zhu Youzhen saluted like this, obviously not taking Zheng Zhilong in his eyes!

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but change color, but because of Yuan Keli's presence, he barely held back and didn't have a seizure.

Yuan Keli laughed heartily and said, "No courtesy, no courtesy!" Since both sides of the competition have arrived, the official will announce the rules of the competition. The competition is divided into five rounds, and the best of five games are implemented. As long as either side wins three games first, it wins. Did you hear me clearly? ”

"Hear me clearly!" The people agreed with a bang.

"This first one," Yuan Keli said slowly, "It's a test of boxing!" Zheng Zhibao, you go down and play boxing first! ”

Zheng Zhibao thought that the so-called competition was a fight between the two, and thought that with the little arms and legs of "Qi Jian", he could cripple him with just one move. Now I suddenly heard that the content of the first competition was not fighting, but practicing boxing by myself, and I couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

But he was proud of his martial arts, so he didn't think much about it, and jumped into the center of the arena with a loud shout, playing Zheng's proud fist method of the Five Ancestors.

This unique competition has officially begun!
