Chapter 39 Tournament 1

The banquet ended an hour later, followed by a martial arts competition held by the warriors of the six clans to celebrate the thirtieth birthday of "Concubine Zhen". Li Yong took a concubine Yan Wangfei, the concubines on both sides "Concubine Zhen" and "Concubine Tian", ten concubines who were officially canonized in rank inferior to concubines, and more than 100 concubines who did not have titles, and marched to the school field under the protection of palace maids, eunuchs, and senior officials of Fan Yang and hundreds of guards. Along the way, there are three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the security is heavy.

The envoys of the five clans, under the escort of the warriors of their own clan, followed closely behind the guards of the King of Yan. The 20,000 elite soldiers drawn from the 100,000 Fan Yang Army had already been arranged in six squares to gather in the school field, waiting for King Yan to review. On the school field, the Fan Yang army is in an orderly array, the armor is distinct, and the weapons are dazzling, which is worthy of being the trump card army in the hands of the Tang Dynasty Emperor, guarding Fanyang, the land where the dragon and the tiger are located, and deterring the five major ethnic groups and feudal states of the Eastern * Turk, Khitan, Murwei, Xi and Silla.

The stands were filled with more than 1,000 local civil and military officials and their families who had been waiting for a long time to be lower than the officials attending the banquet. Seeing King Yan walking towards the school field surrounded by the guards, the spectators in the stands stood up and cheered. Yan Wang greeted the audience with a smile and slowly walked to the center of the stands. Under the order of the commander, 20,000 Fan Yang troops saluted to King Yan (the army did not kneel and salute), and shouted in unison: "King Yan Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose ......" The cry resounded in the sky and echoed in the air for a long time.

Seeing that Fan Yangjun was at his peak, King Yan showed a satisfied smile on his face, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "No courtesy." It was another deafening sound of "King Xie Yan". Then Fan Yangjun withdrew and turned to guard the school yard layer by layer. The staff quickly laid out several acres of carpet as a venue for the competition. As the host, King Yan of the Tang Dynasty naturally had to accept the challenge of the guests of the five clans. There is no distinction between the races, and whoever wins in the end, regardless of the clan, will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold.

The martial arts competition kicked off in the duel between the Khitan master Dahmer and Xiao Xian, the general of the Western Guard Army of the Fan Yang Army. Dahmer makes double maces, and Xiao Xian makes crescent scimitars. Both of them had uncommon blades, and the two of them fought each other in a fierce battle at the beginning. Xiao Xiansheng is strong and fast. Dahmer is better than echoing the mace left and right, which is very difficult, and his left and right hands are equally flexible!

Unexpectedly, the first competition was so exciting, and the audience was in high spirits and couldn't stop cheering. The two attacked each other, and they fought for hundreds of moves, but they still didn't win or lose. In the end, Xiao Xian was negligent, and was attacked by Dahmer's left mace in the face, and hit the abdomen with his right mace. Xiao Xian was injured on the spot and retired stupidly. Xiao Xian is the eighth master in Fan Yang's army, and he didn't expect to be disadvantageous in the first game.

Then Fan Yangjun's No. 3 master, Fan Yangjun, and Yin Jiajie, the general of the Southern Guards, came on the field. Yin Jiajie's weapon is one of the most primitive weapons, known as the spear of the king of a hundred soldiers. Yin Jiajie is very handsome, and his military uniform makes him even more heroic, he is twenty-two years old, and he is the youngest general in Fan Yang's army, his father is just a small officer who commands hundreds of people (after Yin Jiajie was promoted to general, he was disarmed and disarmed at home), his background is not prominent, but he is considered a top-notch figure among many well-known sons in Fan Yang, because his current status is completely based on personal diligence and hard work, not by the blessing of his ancestors, nor by the backdoor to pull the relationship.

The third daughter of King Yan, born to Yu Wenqi, the concubine of King Yan, is both civil and military, resourceful, one of the main think tanks of King Yan, deeply loved and valued by King Yan, Li Lin, the nineteen-year-old "Lord of Anbang", has a soft spot for Yin Jiajie, but Li Yong and Yu Wenqi are both nobles, and they attach great importance to blood, and strongly oppose Li Lin's relationship with Yin Jiajie. Li Yong even put pressure on Yin Jiajie, he must keep a distance from the "Anbang County Lord", otherwise he will be removed from his post.

Under Li Lin's stubborn stalking, Yin Jiajie could not cut off contact with Li Lin, but from light to dark, Yin Jiajie would have a tryst with Li Lin outside the city during the holidays.

Li Lin's little sisters all know the relationship between Yin Jiajie and Li Lin, and when they saw him on the field, they applauded together when they were not handsome and mighty in military uniform. Li Lin hesitated, and applauded with the sisters. Although the number of girls in this group is small, the women's voices are naturally sharp and thin, and they are hoarse and screaming, without any scruples, and naturally the sonic boom is the audience. Naturally, the people of the Tang Dynasty accounted for the majority of the audience, and people were thinking: "As the people of the Tang Dynasty, you should naturally cheer for the Tang warriors." So Ying and the group of girls applauded loudly.

Yin Jiajie saw the audience cheering for himself so much, especially when he heard Li Lin shouting for himself, he only felt that his blood was boiling all of a sudden, and he had the incomparable confidence to defeat his opponent. Dahmer also apparently noticed that his opponent was not trivial, and carefully looked up and down his opponent while constantly moving his feet, adjusting his posture and looking for the best angle and time to attack. The Yin family is an outstanding person, likes to be concise, and does not make much politeness, but simply says "please" and attacks with a gun, picking the opponent's two maces on the left and right, and attacking him as two opponents.

It may be the first time for Dahmer to encounter this style of play, and he feels at a loss, and in a panic, he has to dance wildly. Yin Jiajie was unforgiving, and the spears continued to attack like the Yangtze River. Dahmer couldn't help but retreat under the strong attack of his opponent, and finally flew out of his left mace in the seventeenth move. By this time, Dahmer had reached the edge of the carpet. Originally, he should admit defeat if he lost his weapon in the competition, but Dahmer is fierce and will not admit defeat until another mace is released.

Yin Jiajie put away the gun and stood up, wanting to wait for Dahmer to admit defeat, but Dahmer didn't appreciate it at all, and pounced on Yin Jiajie like a mad tiger, and the rapidly dancing mace made an amazing sound of breaking through the air, like a huge net covering Yin Jiajie. Yin Jiajie hurriedly made the "Peacock Open Screen" pick up the big gun flower and go to the stick net. After a dense "crackling" sound, the two retreated and faced each other again. Dahmer was shocked to find himself only three feet from the edge of the carpet, and his heart was pounding.

After figuring out the strength of the opponent, Yin Jiajie thought that he could win steadily, so he didn't want to take advantage of the ready-made advantages, so he deliberately showed off his generosity, and took more than ten steps back, each step was eight feet away, and quickly retreated to the center of the field, faster than those who didn't know martial arts. Light skills are not Dahmer's forte, and he was stunned when he saw that his opponent's light skills were so clever. Yin Jiajie hooked his index finger at Dahmer and launched a provocation. Dahmer gritted his teeth and walked to the center of the field. The two looked at each other for a moment, and launched an offensive at the same time. After a few moves, Yin Jiajie used the same move to "pull the grass to find the snake" and picked off the only remaining mace in Dahmer's hand.

The staff struck a gong and announced that the winner had been decided. Yin Jiajie said "concede". Dahmer retired, although he was defeated, but there was no resentment and resentment in his heart, and he was convinced of the loss. The audience erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

The applause continued, and Yu Wenyu, the master of the Xi clan, took the lead. The Xi clan is a branch of the Xianbei Yuwen Department, and the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty before the Sui Dynasty is the same clan, although the number of people is only tens of thousands, but the whole clan is still martial, and there are many fierce generals. However, even so, the young leader of the Xi clan is a distant relative of Yu Wenqi, the concubine of King Yan, and Yu Wenji, who is in his thirties, does not dare to hope that he can make a big splash in the territory of King Yan of the Tang Dynasty. The reason why he took the lead in the battle is because according to common sense, the more people who participate in the competition later, the higher the martial arts, the Xi people do not have the idea of overpowering the masters of the five clans, but they don't want to lose too badly. Yu Wenyu is the captain of the personal guard of the leader of the Xi tribe, and his martial arts are only under the leader of the Xi tribe.

Yu Wenyu is about forty years old, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a few long beards under his chin, which looks very powerful and does not give people a fierce feeling. Yu Wenyu reported his identity in the Xi language, and he didn't know how many people in the audience could understand it except for the members of the Xi envoys. The staff promptly reported his identity in Chinese.

Yin Jiajie judged that Yu Wenyu was a strong opponent just from the opponent's pace and momentum, so he carefully looked at the opponent. Yu Wenyu was also looking at Yin Jiajie carefully. Both sides looked for each other's weaknesses and were reluctant to make a move. The people in the audience who don't understand martial arts are very puzzled, they don't know that "watching the enemy" is also a necessary cultivation for martial arts masters. After a long while, both of them knew that they couldn't find each other's weaknesses and that there would be no result if they waited any longer, so they each shouted and pounced on each other from a foot away. The weapon used by Yu Wenyu is the sword, the sword is the ancestor of a hundred soldiers, the ancestor of a hundred soldiers and the king of a hundred soldiers do not know which is stronger or weaker?

Yin Jiajie and Yu Wenyu are opponents in chess, and they will meet good talents, and they will be inseparable as soon as they are handed over. Yin Jiajie's marksmanship is flexible and changeable, and the tip of the gun is like a snake head raised high, so that people can never see where it will attack. Yu Wenyu's swordsmanship is steady and dignified, and he always defuses the opponent's must-attack move in time, and the two very different styles are entangled with each other, which is particularly thrilling. On the surface, Yin Jiajie is attacking and Yu Wenyu is defending, but in fact, every counterattack by Yu Wenyu hides a very powerful back, as long as Yin Jiajie's gun weakens, Yu Wenyu will make a powerful counterattack. Such a delicate situation can only be seen by a few top masters in the field, such as Xu Qing, Mei Congyun, Mei Yong, Mei Zhi, Mei Ren, and Mei Jianfeng.

Yin Jiajie's marksmanship is partly passed down from the "Jiang Family Marksmanship" left by Jiang Wei, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, and partly from the broken and incomplete "Ma Family Marksmanship" left by the famous general Ma Chao of the Three Kingdoms. This is not all, he is not specialized in marksmanship, but proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts, he is good at sticking, knife, swordsmanship into marksmanship to create new moves, so his marksmanship is not conventional, self-contained "one style", this "one style" is also in the "flexible" four words.

Yin Jiajie's spear turned into a heavy shadow of a gun, sweeping Yu Wenyu in the middle like a wildfire. The spear churned, unstoppable like the power of an angry sea dragon. The tip of the spear flickered and spitted, as flexible as a swimming fish, and like a poisonous snake that wanted to choose people to eat.

Yu Wenyu is worthy of being the second master of the Xi clan, in the face of the overwhelming gun moves, he did not avoid or retreat, and simply used a long sword to hold the spear. In an instant, the two have exchanged a hundred moves, and they both say that "the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear", which may not be seen. Yin Jiajie is very sober-minded as an authority, and he knows that once the gun is exhausted, he will face the opponent's terrible counterattack. The soldiers did not get tired of deceit, and after attacking more than a dozen moves, Yin Jiajie showed his exhaustion, and the gun gradually weakened, luring the enemy to attack.

Yu Wenyu really hit the plan, and unfolded his long sword to fight back against the enemy. Yu Wenyu was "like a bamboo", Yin Jiajie was defeated and retreated, and gradually retreated to the edge of the carpet, and he was about to go out of bounds. Li Lin's heart was raised to her throat, the blood on her face faded, and she wanted to shout out but was afraid that Yin Jiajie would be distracted by it. The sisters around Li Lin naturally accompanied her in a hurry.
