Chapter IV
It is precisely because of the important position of the Nihuang County Lord, so His Majesty the Emperor's decision to agree that foreigners can also enter the range of the county lord's choice of sons-in-law was very surprising to several noble sons, Xiao Jingrui asked first: "Didn't the emperor ask the Nihuang County Lord himself?" ”
"Of course I asked, because Mu Qing, the prince of Yunnan, was an adult last month, so the county lord agreed, but a few conditions were added, first, the contestant must be the person who asked for relatives, and secondly, she didn't care about the literary test, and it was judged by His Majesty the Emperor, but the winner of the martial arts test had to compete with her in person, and she would marry if she lost." Yan Yujin said leisurely.
As soon as these words came out, the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief. Xie Bi scolded: "Die Yujin, deliberately tease us!" It's much better in this way, most of the famous masters of Dayu and Beiyan are married and unqualified, even if the unmarried ones are carefully selected, can they beat our Nihuang County Lord? ”
"You don't have to be able to fight," Mei Changsu interjected again, "If the county lord likes it, he will naturally lose if he doesn't lose." ”
"I think so too," Yan Yujin said beautifully, "You all know that the county lord has always liked me......"
Xie Bi squirted out a sip of tea before he drank it into his mouth, and coughed: "Jun...... The county lord has always liked to scold you! Forget about a person like you who is not very serious, the lord of Nihuang County has been on the battlefield for many years, and he likes a man who is stable and responsible. ”
"Alas," Yan Yujin sighed, "Xie Er, you are really ruthless, I finally had a sweet dream......
"You don't have to joke," Xiao Jingrui pushed him, and said, "But this time Dayu and Beiyan are also dreaming, if they don't succeed, there won't be much loss, once they succeed...... If you think about it, not only will you marry the country, but if you marry a military wizard, your reputation will be much louder all of a sudden. ”
Mei Changsu said lightly: "Dayu and Beiyan have been unstable recently, and there are several factions fighting for the crown prince's position in your life." At this time, if a prince marries the lord of Nihuang, it is like having secured the throne of the crown prince. ”
"Brother Su's words are to the point. I know that my Liang court is unlikely to let the Nihuang County Lord marry outside, but I always have to fight for the blood, if I am lucky enough to fight, I will definitely win when I return to China. Yan Yujin agreed, "I don't know who gave them the idea, and it's because they dared to muster up the courage." ”
Mei Changsu looked at him with great interest and asked, "How do you know that someone must have gone to give them an idea?" ”
Yan Yujin shrugged and said, "I don't like random analysis, just intuition." You think, it's a bit of a coincidence that two countries came up with this idea together and put it into practice at about the same time. ”
"It doesn't matter if he's coincidental or not, in short, he can't let the Nihuang County Lord marry out." Xie Bi shook his hand and turned to Mei Changsu, "Brother Su, who will win this competition?" ”
Mei Changsu smiled and said, "I'm not a fortune teller, how will I know?" ”
"You can guess what Yujin asked just now, I thought you could be unpredictable." Xie Bi laughed.
"I'll make a real move with you," Mei Changsu said with a smile, "Actually, I didn't guess it." ”
"Didn't you guess?" Yan Yujin immediately became interested, "Could it be that Brother Su really knows how to tell fortunes?" ”
"The mystery of numerology, how can I be a fool to peep into?" Mei Changsu said, and took out a silk book from his sleeve, "I didn't guess, I already knew about it, and it was written on it......"
Yan Yujin took the silk book curiously, and the three of them leaned over to take a look, and they all cried out in surprise.
"This is a national letter written by the monarch of Dayu and sent an envoy to ask for relatives!" Xie Bi's eyes straightened, "How can it be in your hands?" ”
"Ah, it turns out that the county restaurant is ...... The Dayu mission actually really lost the national credentials......" Yan Yujin tilted his head and stared at Mei Changsu, "Brother Su, what are you doing stealing other people's credentials?" ”
"You're right, it's just that it's okay to steal." Mei Changsu still smiled lightly, "The Dayu mission happened to live in the same inn as me, and the shopkeeper told me that they had a sandalwood long box, which was very tightly guarded, and there must be good things in it." I was curious for a moment, so I sent Feiliu to pick it up and read it, but I didn't expect it to be just a volume of official documents. These things have nothing to do with our Jianghu people, so I'm not too interested, I wanted to put them back after seeing them, but I didn't expect them to find out so quickly, and I had no choice, so I had to not return them......"
The three of them have all seen Feiliu's strange skills, and they are not surprised when they heard that he went to get it, but this Mei Changsu is also a little too curious, and he has to go to read other people's national documents, and he is not afraid of getting into trouble......
"By the way, are there any conditions and restrictions for participating in the audition?" Xiao Jingrui pulled the topic back to the original place.
"Yes, you must have an innocent family background, be of the same age, have good character, and have never married a wife......"
"That's all?"
"That's all."
"Ah," Xie Bi shouted, "Then the big brother can also participate!" ”
"Me?" Xiao Jingrui was taken aback, "Although I respect the Nihuang County Lord, I have never thought about ......"
"I didn't want you to win until the end before I let you go," Xie Bi tugged at his sleeve, "The more people we participate in Da Liang, the smaller the chances of Da Yu and Bei Yan winning." You are so good, you will definitely be able to eliminate a lot of opponents, and you can also screen out unqualified candidates for the Nihuang County Lord. ”
"But ......"
"What else could it be? I am not good at martial arts, and it is useless to register for a name, you are the second young master of Tianquan Villa, Uncle Zhuo personally taught you martial arts, and he is a master at all, and it is difficult for Brother Su to guide you all the way to Beijing, even if you accumulate actual combat experience. Xie Bi couldn't help but say, and said to Yan Yujin, "Yujin, tomorrow you go and help him report his name." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I have already reported it to him." Yan Yujin said with a smile.
"Hey...... You two ......"
"Don't be nervous," Mei Changsu couldn't help but smile, "I know your martial arts best, it's impossible to win to the end, what does it matter if you go to a few rounds?" ”
"You're comforting me, too?" Xiao Jingrui wanted to cry without tears, "Am I the best person to bully......"
Xie Bi thought of another question: "Wouldn't it be only the nobles in the capital who knew about this?" Folk heroes should be able to participate, right? ”
"Of course you can." Yan Yujin glanced at him, "This kind of news may not be able to hide it even if you want to, not to mention that the emperor also takes this opportunity to choose a good son-in-law for the county lord to comfort her lonely on the battlefield." You guys came to Beijing all the way, didn't you notice that all the martial arts heroes were rushing towards Jinling? ”
The three of them thought about it carefully, and found that it seemed to be the case, but there were already many people entering Beijing, so they didn't care about it for a while.
"Okay, I won't talk to you," Yan Yujin got up and stretched, "I want to go back and recuperate, and in three days I will be ready to show my skills, fight off heroes from all walks of life, and win the ......heart of Sister Nihuang in one fell swoop."
Xie Bi glanced at him: "This person has not fallen asleep and started talking in his sleep......
"It's time to go, so as not to disturb Brother Su's rest." Xiao Jingrui also said, "Feiliu has been asleep for a long time. ”
When everyone looked back, they saw Feiliu Kazuo lying on the bed, and he didn't put the curtain down, and he slept soundly with his eyes closed.
"It's all asleep, it feels like an ice cube......" Yan Yujin just made a comment, Feiliu's eyes suddenly opened, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly pointed at Xiao Jingrui and said, "He said that sentence just now!" ”
Feiliu's eyes were unfocused for a moment, then closed again in an instant.
"Don't worry, he already recognizes your voice," Mei Changsu Waner said, "If it's a stranger's voice, Feiliu will wake up immediately." ”
"It's okay," Yan Yujin patted his chest and said, "Then we'll leave, Brother Su, please rest early." ”
Mei Changsu got up and sent him to the door, watching the three of them leave, the second watch bell and drum rang at this time, he stopped and listened silently for a while, staring at the silent Hou Mansion in the dark night, and after a long time, he slowly closed the door.
