Seeing that at the end of June, Liu Yuren was outside, but his heart flew to Jiankang City. He knew that he should finish handling the affairs of southern Xinjiang as soon as possible and set out on his way home as soon as possible, and as for the military situation in the south, whether it was urgent or slow could be discussed again.

After two months of fighting, half of the land from Lingnan to the seashore has been defeated or surrendered to the imperial court, and the remnants of the military force have also been frightened, and they dare not come out. Liu Yu can also predict that as long as the problem of ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang is solved first, the trouble in Lingnan should not be a cause for concern.

Now, Liu Yu wants to know the whereabouts of Liu Liniang, hoping to mediate through her. But now it seems that there is also a good way, which is to win the competition to be elected as the nominal lisen, perhaps this can get the support of the ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang.

In the early morning of June 29, Liu Yu got up very early. Because of the arrival of Huo Illness yesterday, the dedication of the Yue family sister was delayed, so Liu Yu became an honest monk for another night, and he was in good spirits when he got up early in the morning.

The competition is scheduled to be held on the morning and on the three poles, and after the people of the three ethnic alliances have breakfast, they will enter the Dazhai of Zhongmiao with the team of the Miao people participating in the reed sheng festival.

At this time, it is the third day after the opening of the reed sheng festival, and the road is already very lively, many young men and women on the road are singing and dancing, and even many young men and girls are singing and laughing with the singing, and the three ethnic groups also stop from time to time to watch before moving forward.

"Hey, what are they doing?" Huo Yi had just arrived, and he didn't understand the living habits of the people in southern Xinjiang, so he widened his eyes and asked Liu Yu while looking at it.

"That's a good song, it's right, and it can get the favor of Miao girls......"

Huo Yi arose and said, "Teach me quickly." I'm going to the right too. ”

Liu Yu took a look at the Huo disease that was rippling in the spring. Think about it, he's almost old enough to get married. Suddenly, Liu Yu remembered that Huo Yi hooked up with the little palace maid.

"Can you understand what they're singing?"

Huo Ying shook his head honestly.

Liu Yu said helplessly: "If you don't understand, you still go to the song, afraid that others won't know that you are a spy of the imperial court?" Let's go, it'll be your turn to compete. ”

Huo Zhi knew that Liu Yu was going to take him to the competition yesterday, and he refused to reveal what the competition was, Huo Yi couldn't guess it, and at this time he followed behind in a stupid way, and suddenly found that Mier and Duo Lin were peeking at him, and Huo Yi made a grimace. It made Mill and Doreen snicker. In the eyes of the two girls, Huo Yi is like a child who doesn't grow up, how can he have the demeanor of killing the enemy general on the battlefield?

Before arriving at the competition venue in Dazhai, several people first made a simple pre-game summary, and then Liu Yu came out on behalf of the Three Ethnic Alliance to announce their competition projects.

The Yue, Wa, and An ethnic groups are weak, and in the eyes of other ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang, they are powerless to return to heaven, and if the three ethnic groups are not united today, they would not even be qualified to run for the rank of elder. At this time, the people of the three tribes were thin, and the other tribes also believed that they might be able to get a bargain.

Liu Yu stepped forward and asked people to take out the three-zhang high bamboo pole that had been prepared. When Liu Yu put the bamboo pole on the ground, no one knew what he was going to do.

"There's a bamboo pole here. The bamboo pole is wrapped with a red rope, and the competition we propose today is to see who can untie the red rope without moving the bamboo pole and putting down the bamboo! ”

As soon as Liu Yu's words fell, the surrounding ethnic minorities were amazed.

Who would have thought that today's young man of the Yue nationality actually proposed such a rare competition project, and they can roughly feel that this is not fighting strength, but fighting wit.

Liu Yu looked at the family members and asked, "This competition, there is no problem, right?" ”

Nan Miao Ga Luo Nong Yi glanced at Zhong Miao's people first, shook his head, and said with a smile: "This competition is reasonable." ”

Subsequently, the people of the Bai tribe and the Northern Miao also joined in, and the people of the most backward and middle Miao had to be forced to accept it again.

"Let's get started, who's going first?" Liu Yu stuck the bamboo pole on the ground and asked.

This can make it difficult for people of various ethnic minorities, and it is already a big problem that we cannot put down bamboo. Originally, there was a fancy, that is, to move the bamboo pole to the wellhead or in front of the pool, and then insert the bamboo pole into it, so that the red rope can be untied, and now Liu Yu has made it clear that he can't move the bamboo, and no one can think of a good way for a while.

The first battle of wits is obviously not so easy. Everyone saw the confident smile on Liu Yu's face, and people also thought that even if they couldn't figure out the trick, they couldn't let the people of the Yue nationality come first, anyway, the project proposed by the Yue nationality, the Yue nationality would inevitably appear last.

A short silence turned into a long period of thinking, and many people sat in the competition hall all morning, and by noon, no one was willing to come out to compete.

At noon, Liu Yu came out again and said, "Since you don't want to come out to compete, can we Yue people come first?" ”

The people of the Bai tribe came out and said, "You can say, you can't put down the bamboo, you can't cut it, you can't move it, you can't just put it upright, you can't play tricks." ”

Liu Yuxin said that the people of the Bai clan are really good at messing around, and they haven't won a competition so far, and now they are really not afraid of being embarrassed. And many of the restrictions they talked about were not mentioned by Liu Yu.

"Yes, that's right. Can any of the people of Sanmiao come out to compete? ”

From the North Miao, to the Middle Miao, and then to the South Miao, no one nodded, and Liu Yu beckoned, and Huo Yi walked out of the crowd under the gaze of everyone.

"Then our Yue people will sacrifice their ugliness first." Liu Yu first whispered two words in Huo Ill's ear, Huo Ill's eyes flashed, his face grinned, and he walked to the erected bamboo pole.

I saw Huo Yi holding the bottom of the bamboo pole with both hands, kicking his feet, and the person flew up like a monkey and climbed up on the bamboo pole, and reached the top of the bamboo pole very lightly, and then ripped off the red rope. Waiting for the red rope in hand, others did not go down by the bamboo pole, but a backflip to the ground, sitting firmly on the ground, looking indispensable.

Even if they were all opponents in the competition, the subordinates of the Sanmiao and Bai tribes couldn't help but exclaim, and the alliance of the three tribes of the Yue, Wa and An tribes was even more applauding.

A bamboo stuck in the ground is very unstable, so it can also climb up and untie the red rope, which everyone can only look forward to.

Liu Yu smiled and took the red rope from Huo Zhi's hand, stepped forward and said, "Everyone, let's agree, it seems that we won this game." ”

The people of the Bai tribe and Beimiao did not raise objections, they were ashamed of themselves, and they had no face to fight.

Nan Miao's people wanted to fight, but after thinking about it, the Yue people didn't dare to disobey their intentions anyway, so they didn't pay attention to it.

At this moment, a very low figure suddenly popped out of the crowd of Zhongmiao, and said in a delicate tone: "Since you can come like this, I can do it too." ”

Liu Yue listened to the familiar voice, and after seeing people, he became more familiar.

I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old little Lori standing on the edge of the venue, who was looking at Liu Yu and Huo Yi with hostile eyes, and this person Liu Yu had seen when he was in Meiguan, and it was the girl who came to treat him that day.

Liu Yu was shocked, if he wanted to say that others were on the field, Liu Yu felt that it was nothing. But he has seen this girl's light skills, such a girl who flies the eaves and walks the wall, it is naturally not difficult to climb a bamboo pole, such a competition with the winning ticket in hand, isn't it to make a wedding dress for the people of Zhongmiao?

As soon as the girl's voice fell, she couldn't help but say, and the person suddenly climbed up to the bamboo pole that was still erected in the center of the field, so there was no red rope on the bamboo pole at this time, the girl seemed to be a little annoyed, and directly untied an object from the belt and hung it on the top of the bamboo pole. Wait for the girl to hang the handkerchief, and then the person unties the handkerchief again, and then jumps directly from the bamboo pole, the action is elegant and in one go, and the person falls to the ground smoothly, if the difficulty coefficient of the score is much higher than Huo's disease.

But at this time, there was silence on the field, because no one knew the exact identity of the girl.

The girl gestured the white handkerchief to Liu Yu, and snorted, "Hey, did I win you?" ”

Behind the girl, a middle-aged man came out of the Zhongmiao camp, who was the temporary agent of Zhongmiao who was in charge of presiding over the meeting of the Hezu in the past two days. Nong drank more, but not to Liu Yu, his target was the little Lori on the field.

"Presumptuous, put ...... Take it back! ”

"Father, you ......"

The girl pursed her lips and looked very aggrieved, probably because she felt that she had helped her people come out and won the victory, but she was scolded for some reason.

Liu Yu Judging from the muttering expressions of the Miao people, the girl's actions should have violated some kind of taboo, in fact, with Liu Yu's "knowledge", it is not difficult to understand what the white pat is for. Little Lori is not enlightened, and she will stand out with her close-fitting white handkerchief, and she will naturally be scolded by her father.

The girl pouted and went behind Nongduo, at this time Nongduo came over and said, "Please forgive the little girl's recklessness, but in this game, our Zhongmiao doesn't seem to be left behind." ”

Liu Yu thought that Nong Duo would carry forward his style and give up this competition, but he didn't expect him to scold Xiao Lori while acknowledging the fruits of Xiao Loli's labor.

Liu Yu is still quite difficult, this competition, because it was not clear enough in advance, so the two sides can only decide the victory or defeat through the extra match. And except for Huo Ill and Little Lori, no one has this kind of ability to take things from a high pole.

"Since the two sides are evenly matched, we ......"

Liu Yu was about to talk about the extra race, when Huo Yi suddenly jumped out and shouted: "Climbing a pole is not called ability, I can climb two poles at the same time, who is that, do you dare?" ”

The little Lori on the opposite side was unconvinced: "Who is afraid of whom?" ”

The tone of the two people's speech, like a child quarrelling, even Liu Yu and Nong Duo were a little helpless, and now it is clear that Zhilu Dao Huo and Xiao Lori are unruly, and they can't be suppressed too much, otherwise whoever picks on them for a while will be tantamount to admitting defeat.

In this competition, whoever wins is two victories, because there is only one competition left after that, and one victory is equivalent to being invincible. And the last game is the one who is in the middle of the seedlings, so if this one is won by the middle seedlings, it is basically a sure win. (To be continued......)
