Chapter 471: Competition

The envoys of the two countries have gathered in Luoyang for several days, this time the two countries still came in the name of courtship, and spread rumors among the people, saying that there will be a civil and military exchange between the three countries, Daliang has agreed, the conference will be held in a few days, under the spread of the secret agents of the two countries, the rumors spread all over the city in just half a day, and the rumors spread out of Hangu Pass a day later.

At this point, Da Liang had no way to retreat, so he had to step forward and fight with all his might.

The competition is divided into civil and military affairs, the cultural test is handled by Wenyuan Pavilion, and the martial arts test is contracted by Tiance Mansion, and the literary test is divided into three games: chess, poetry, and scripture, and the martial arts test is also divided into three games, personal battles, siege battles, and field battles, Wang Yan is one of the players in the personal battle.

Although he had been prepared, Wang Yan was still a little depressed, this person knew a big thing, he only knew it on the day of the game, and it was also a coincidence, the second day of Nan Chen's envoy entering Beijing was the day of rest, Wang Yan didn't pay attention to the rumors outside after he went home, and then after being called by the general, no one told him about it, and Wang Yan didn't take the initiative to ask, and it turned out to be like this.

"Third brother, how comfortable have you been in the General's Mansion these days?" Dianman leaned over to Wang Yan and asked with a smile.

"Not comfortable in your own home." Wang Yan said honestly, there is nothing to hide in front of Dianman.

"Big brother, what you are asking, where can you sleep comfortably." Zhan Liang quipped on the side. "But the third brother, the fact that you live in the General's Mansion has spread in the Tiance Mansion, this is a great favor, no one in the Tiance General has taken the initiative to be invited to live in the Mansion by the General, and rumors have begun in the Mansion that the General intends to cultivate you as an heir."

"No, my little brother hasn't done anything in the past two days, and I only saw the general this morning." Wang Yan said seriously.

"The general has been busy in the past two days, how can I have time to accompany you." Dianman grinned.

"Big brother, second brother, what competition are you two participating in today?"

"I participated in the individual battle, and your second brother participated in the field battle"

"Big brother in a personal battle?" Wang Yan was surprised.

"What? Look down on your eldest brother, apart from you and General Tie in the Tiance Mansion, who can't I beat? It's not your big brother water! It's that you and General Iron are too wicked, especially you! is not very old, but his martial arts are ridiculously high, and my eldest brother is envious and jealous. Dianman said with a grin.

Is the martial arts so high? When they were in Xinzhou, the two had a discussion, but they really didn't realize it, Wang Yan glanced at Tie Wushuang who was not far away and thought.

Seeing that Wang Yan looked suspicious, Dian Man slapped him on the back angrily.

"Isn't it possible to compete with you, big brother, I still have to fight for my life! Your eldest brother and I are the guards on the top floor of the sixth floor of the Martial God Tower! Or when your eldest brother is a paper paste? ”

"Big brother, you are the guard on the top floor of Tower Six!"

"That's right, if you continue to fight that day, you will be able to meet your eldest brother, he was sure that you would challenge Tower Six that day, and he was waiting for you on the tower, but you stopped fighting after challenging Tower Five, and he was depressed all night." Zhan Liang joked with a smile.

"Third brother, eldest brother, I want to tell you, don't take the enemy lightly in a battle, although it is a competition, it is a battle for the death, those grandsons do everything to win!" It's rare to take it seriously.

"I know, big brother, you should be careful." For some reason, a trace of uneasiness inexplicably rose in my heart.

The group entered Luoyang from the south gate, and the streets were full of people, and when they saw the general enter the door, they began to cheer loudly, very excited.

The competition was held in the imperial city, and there was still some distance from the south gate to the imperial city.

Feeling the blessings and expectations of the people, Wang Yan's heart gradually calmed down.

The imperial city of Daliang is much larger than the Forbidden City of later generations, and the momentum is more magnificent, following behind the general, all the way to the left through the two palace gates, and then to a wide field, the venue is full of people, and the atmosphere is very depressing.

It is not difficult to distinguish between the three groups of people on the field, the Xixia people advocate black, so most of the clothes and armor are black, Chen Guo advocates green, so most of the clothes are dark green and dark green, Tian Cewei is dressed in bright silver, which is the same color as the clothes and armor he wears.

The surrounding city walls are full of officials who have come to watch the battle, and the victory or defeat of the competition is related to the face of the beam, which is very important.

The ring was set up yesterday, and the three parties gathered under the stage to start the draw.

Wang Yan saw an acquaintance in the Western Xia team, he didn't hide Tuotuo, compared to when he was in the gourd, he felt more calm and unfathomable at the moment.

The rules of the individual battle are very simple, Xia and Chen sent a total of five people, and the Liang sent five people, and two people were selected by drawing lots to compete, and the winning side held the challenge until the other two sides were all defeated or refused to play.

After the draw, the competition officially began, the first battle was the duel between Nan Chen and Da Liang, the person on the field was about twenty-seven or eight, named Chen Ren, and the battle was against a general named Xiao Teng in Tiance Mansion.

The two stood still in the ring, after saluting each other, the competition was the beginning, Chen Ren made a Zhangba snake spear, as the bell rang, he jumped towards Xiao Teng like a cannonball, and the Zhangba snake spear danced wildly, the speed was extremely fast, and several phantoms appeared.

Xiao Teng raised his gun to meet him, and he fought with him without distinction between up and down, and it was difficult to solve.

After 100 moves, Xiao Teng took the lead in being injured and hung the lottery, after 200 moves, Xiao Teng obviously fell behind, after 300 moves, Xiao Teng was obviously defeated, Wang Yan clenched his fists, and only hoped that Xiao Teng could quickly admit defeat, and if he continued to fight, it would not be a victory or defeat, but a life and death.

Three hundred and fifty-seven moves, Xiao Teng's weapon was picked up by Chen Ren, he staggered back two steps, and Chen Ren followed like lightning with a snake spear.

Burst! Burst! Burst! Xiao Teng was poked out of three blood holes on his body, and suddenly blood gushed like a spring...

Xiao Teng did not fall to the ground on his back, but knelt on his knees, gritted his teeth and straightened his body, slowly closed his eyes, and showed a touch of unwillingness on his face.

Chen Ren took back his long hair, took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the blood on the snake grass, and threw the handkerchief to Xiao Teng, looking arrogant, with a touch of mockery on the corner of his mouth, although he was also injured, but compared to Xiao Teng losing his life, his injury could not go up to the table.

Da Liang's expression was solemn, his face was solemn, and his eyes were full of anger when he looked at Chen Ren, and he was about to rush up and be pressed down by Zhan Liang on the side.

"Big brother, don't be impulsive." Zhan Liang looked angry, gritted his teeth and whispered.

Wang Yan looked at Chen Ren who was sneering on the stage, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Xiao Teng's body was carried off the ring, wrapped in a white cloth, and placed off the ring and not sent away.

On the other side, the literary test is also in full swing, in the Wenhua Palace, one side of the chessboard, two chess players, the man holds the sunspot and his brows are tightly locked, the girl wears a mask on her face, and she can't see her expression.

"You've lost."

The Xixia chess player looked at the chessboard in a daze as if he hadn't heard the girl's words, and after a long time, he spilled the chess pieces in his hand onto the chessboard, stood up, and saluted the masked girl, and said in a cold voice.

"Lost in the next!" After speaking, he turned his head and left, without the slightest grace to speak of.

"This one, it's stable." The Wenyuan Pavilion Scholar, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old thing, do you dare to say that Shuang'er's chess skills are not as good as yours?"

"Old, old!" The old man waved his hand, and a slight smile appeared on his gloomy face.
