Chapter 403: Shock

In the best place of view of the main venue, the stands have long been set up for the dignitaries who come to watch, above the stands, you can clearly see the performance on the opposite stage, the main track of the main event of the sheep competition also passed under the stands, sitting on the stands, condescending, at a glance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info to the rest of the people, but there is no such treatment, rows of temporary fences keep them out of the arena, so that they can only watch through the fence. In the arena, there were signboards and banners of merchants everywhere, and these rather modern things made Li Qing dizzy for a while, and it seemed that he had returned to his previous world.

Today, God is still very face-saving, the sun crawled out early, hanging high in the air, although it only exudes a meager heat, but it makes everyone's hearts warm and coaxing.

"Li Dashuai, please!" Boyan, who was in charge of the overall planning of this Mulan Festival, bowed slightly to Li Qing. On one side, Su Shun respectfully held a gold-encrusted diamond-encrusted ox horn bow and a special Ming Di.

Li Qing stood up and took the bow and arrow with both hands, which meant the same as the leaders of later generations announcing the opening, and shooting this Ming Di by himself represented the official start of the Mulan Festival. In the past ten years of the barbarians, it was Bayar who played this role, and now that the barbarians are naturalized, this link will be completed by Li Qing, the supreme ruler of Dingzhou.

Li Qing smiled and walked to the edge of the high platform, seeing Li Qing appear, in the arena, there was a slight commotion among the barbarians who were ready to perform, and then everything calmed down, and the drummers raised the drumsticks in their hands, and just waited for the sound of the drumbox, and then beat the cowhide drum in front of them heavily.

Drawing the bow, taking the arrow, pointing to the sky, Li Qing's three fingers clasped the Ming Di, slowly pulled the bowstring, and as soon as the fingers were loosened, the Ming Di with a sharp whistling sound rose to the sky, and at the same time, hundreds of cowhide drums sounded at the same time.

In the main venue, thousands of barbarians dressed in national costumes sang and danced, led by dozens of people wearing masks and colorful feathers on their bodies, dancing and walking towards the venue.

"Dashuai, this is the first part of the Mulan Festival, praying to the sky, it is a dance of our clan to pray for the blessing of the immortal heaven!" Boyan explained to Li Qing on the side.

On the stage, Allure and Ji Yue and other cadres watched attentively, although the barbarian dance, although not as delicate and delicate as the Central Plains, but rough atmosphere, naturally another charm, accompanied by high-pitched prayer songs, from time to time let the audience outside the venue burst into warm applause.

The sound of drums changes, the dance in the field changes again, from the previous solemn to the sound of celebration, and there are hundreds of barbarian tribesmen holding Dongbula, horse-head qin, tambourine and so on, in the melodious music, thousands of dancers in the field from time to time pose in various shapes, so that the crowd outside the venue is dumbfounded, calling these taels of silver not unjustly spent, in this era, amateur life is extremely poor, especially for ordinary people, singing and dancing is still a luxury for them, like this kind of large-scale dance is rarely seen, It's no wonder they watched it with a bang.

"Dashuai, this is celebrating the harvest year!" Boyan came up again and said.

Li Qing smiled: "This dance has to be rehearsed for a long time, right?" ”

Boyan said: "That's not necessary, you have to dance every year, the clansmen are very familiar, you just need to let the new joiners practice a little!" This is the tradition of our people, how can we forget it? ”

Li Qing glanced at Boyan and said with a smile: "Since it is the tradition of your clan, it can be held every year in the future, and you don't have to look for it every time, you only need to report it to the local officials, but I think that after this time, Luo Daoming knows the taste of the marrow, if you don't do it, maybe he will come to pester you!" ”

Boyan smiled bitterly, "Lord Luo is a good means, we have held the Mulan Festival for so many years, and we have always paid for it, but I didn't expect Lord Luo to make money?" ”

"What's so strange about that?" Li Qingdao: "In the past, you were on the grassland, everyone knew how this Mulan Festival was going on, but here, he is a new thing, rare things are expensive, everyone has never seen it, so they are naturally willing to pay money to see, this festival will stick to it, and when the world is calm in the future, it will attract more people to come and see." Lord Boyan, if it is organized, your people can earn a lot of silver from this Mulan Festival! ”

When the two were talking, the dance off the field began to change again, like ** waves, the dancers rushed towards the stands one after another, and when they arrived at the stands, they were like touching a stone, and they rolled back again, in an orderly manner.

"It's an ode!" Boyan said, "It's a blessing to the supreme leader!" ”

Li Qing had a smile on his face, stood up straight, and stared at the dancers in the audience, while Bo Yan quietly took half a step back.

After the grand opening dance, it was the sheep holding competition that everyone paid the most attention to. With the exit of the dancers, the horses entered the far starting point under the control of the knights, the starting point was miles away, and from the stands, only some figures could be vaguely seen, but the end was under the stands, and the knights rushed here from a distance, and whoever was in the hands of the Aries was the winner.

Li Qing retreated to his seat, Allure and Ji Yue sat on his side one left and one right, although Allure looked happy, but he could still suppress his emotions, Ji Yue was not good, her little face was flushed, her palms were red, and when she saw Li Qing coming back, she said happily: "Big brother, it's so good-looking, it's worth it for me to sneak out this time!" Li Qing glanced at her, Ji Yue spit out her tongue, lowered her head weakly, and glanced at Ji Yue lightly, but the corner of her mouth smiled meaninglessly.

There was a sound of a drum in the distance, and then, one after another, from far and near, it instantly spread to the stands, and after the drum beat of the nearest stand, the original hundreds of drums in the stadium sounded in unison.

A white shadow flashed on a sentry tower erected high in the distance, it was the people above who dropped a white sheep, and below, hundreds of knights destroyed their horses at the same time, like lightning, and in the chaos, I don't know who came out on top and snatched the white sheep in his hand.

At this time, the knights were still far away from here, Li Qing stretched out his hand to summon Yang Yidao, and said in a low voice: "Yidao, how are your subordinates, let's not talk about the final victory, but you can't be ashamed, but don't reach the end, one of your subordinates can't look at it?" ”

Yang Yidao said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Dashuai, the ten people I selected will definitely not lose to them in riding, but they are not very familiar with the rules, I am afraid that they will suffer some losses!" ”

Li Qing nodded, and Yang Yidao quietly retreated.

At this time, the knights have run closer, everyone has seen very clearly, from the beginning of hundreds of horses, at this time there are only more than 100 horsemen left, the knights show their exquisite horse control skills, dodge, take sheep, gallop horses, squeeze and pull, all kinds of means together in battle, from time to time someone falls off the horse, in the crowd exclaimed, the knights behind them always avoid the side at the last moment, after a burst of snow splashed, only the knight who fell off the horse found his horse in despair, and withdrew from the game in a daze.

Entering the main venue, the victory or defeat has been seen very clearly, the two in front are competing for Aries, and the more than ten horses in the back have little hope, what makes Li Qing happy is that among the two people who are fiercely competing, one is wearing the costume of Yang Yidao Xuanfeng Battalion Military Attaché, although today's Mulan Festival is to promote the integration of the two races and further win the hearts of the barbarian people, but in this kind of fair competition, Li Qing subconsciously still likes people to win.

The two people who competed for martial arts were similar, the horse control skills were almost the same, and the crotch and war horses were also all superb, all the way to the main stand, all the drums came suddenly, or there was no winner, the two of them had one hand and one hand, and pulled the poor white sheep in the air, looking at each other with some embarrassment, but no one would let go. When the drum stops, it means that the game is over.

"Good, good!" Li Qing clapped his hands and said, "Please come to the stage with two warriors!" "This result is the best, both sides will not hurt the peace, and they will not lose their own face, and at the same time, let these barbarians see the equestrian skills and courage of the Dingzhou soldiers.

Two knights came to the stage, one was the Bai warrior Bu Yi, and the other was He Zudao, the captain of the Yingyang Captain of the Xuanfeng Battalion. The prize had already been prepared on the stage, but it was a little embarrassing that there was only one prize, and no one expected that there would be a draw, which had never happened in the grassland.

Li Qing hung the ribbon and flowers symbolizing the winner around Bu Yi's neck, and then handed him the prize with his own hands, praising him: "Good man, good kung fu, do you have the idea of joining the army?" ”

Bu Yi was stunned, his eyes couldn't help but look at Boyan on the side, Li Qing laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "When you want to join the army, you might as well come to me directly." ”

turned around and walked in front of He Zudao and said, "There is only one prize, I gave it to Bu Yi, you don't have it!" ”

He Zudao said excitedly: "Seeing Dashuai is the best prize for me!" ”

Li Qingle said: "You can speak, well, you are also today's hero, I will always award you something!" After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand to untie his waist knife, handed it to He Zu and said, "This reward you!" ”

He Zudao was overjoyed, knelt on one knee, and took the waist knife with both hands, "Thank you for the generous reward!" Compared to Bu Yi getting the prize, he is much more meaningful, He Zudao is full of joy. As if drunk, he staggered off the stage.

The sheep holding competition is over, and the next thing is the song and dance performance, this time the first to take the stage is the song and dance --- organized by the Dingzhou people in the forest!

After watching a few songs and dances, it was already in the afternoon, but Allure and Ji Yue were a little tired, and seeing that the two of them were a little physically exhausted, Li Qing whispered a few words, and asked them to send them back to the city to rest. Allure heads, Ji Yue half a step behind, both of them are supported by the personal girl, along the steps of more than ten steps down, halfway through, the change is steep, Ji Yue, who was walking well, suddenly stumbled, the body fell steeply forward, and the Qiao'er who was holding him was shocked, he didn't catch it, and watched Ji Yue fall forward, the princess of Allure in front heard the wind, she was skilled in martial arts, she subconsciously flashed, Ji Yue fell down heavily, fell to the ground, behind them, a group of girls and mothers were in chaos.

On the stands, many officials who watched all this happen were suddenly stunned, Li Qinghuo stood up, pressed the stands in front of him, flew up, and swept in front of Ji Yue in a few big strides, Ji Yue's face was pale, but he had fainted, but what made Li Qing tremble was that Ji Yue's lower body was dripping with blood.

"Huan Xi!" Li Qing yelled.

The scene was in chaos.
