Chapter 28: Preliminary Round

Zhou Quan had to answer the "yes" Zhou Quan took the prince towards the practice ground, and when he arrived at the edge of the practice ground, the prince arranged not to disturb, and the group watched Guo Xing practice on the side, the prince himself also has martial arts, but looking at Guo Xing practicing light exercises, he was a little unable to see through, only to see that Guo Xing was sometimes fast and slow, sometimes he was speeding forward, it was a sudden turn, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

After waiting for a while, Guo Xing's practice was over, and when he saw that the prince was coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Big brother, forgive me, why don't you say anything?"

The prince smiled and said, "Seeing that you are practicing on the rise, how can you interrupt" Guo Xing smiled and didn't say anything else, and invited the prince to the living room for tea.

When he came to the living room, Guo Xing spoke, "Brother Prince, there is something to do today, please speak directly" As soon as the words fell, someone came in to report that the third master Guo Zhong was here.

Guo Xing looked at it and said, "Big brother sit down for a while, I'll go and greet you".

The prince said, "That's right, I was going to go to the third child when you are over here, but he came over and saved me from running away, you go" Guo Xing nodded and went out.

After Guo Xing went out, he saw the third child in the gatehouse, and as soon as the third child heard that the prince was also there, he muttered in his heart, and said hesitantly, "Little Seventeen, the prince estimates that I am a Xingshi to ask my brother, and you will have to help my brother and me in a while."

Guo Xing heard it and said, "What big deal can there be, it's okay between brothers, it's really not good, the third brother is the east, let's accompany the prince to have a drink, you are preparing some gifts for the prince's children, just do it" Hearing Guo Xing say this, the third Guo Zhongxin also put it in his stomach, and the two brothers went inside together, and went to the living room to meet the prince.

The three of them sat down separately in the living room, and then they saw the third Guo Zhong speak, "Brother Prince, I came up with the idea of Xiao Shi to trouble you yesterday, and the younger brother made amends to the eldest brother."

Yes, before the prince could speak, the third child pleaded guilty, but it's okay, the third child pleaded guilty, and the prince couldn't say anything, the prince said, "It's okay if you finish your idea, big brother, I was criticized by my father, how do you say to compensate me."

After the prince finished speaking, he looked at the third child with a smile, and Guo Xing next to him said, "Ah, big brother, you have been criticized, didn't my father agree to let me go out to practice" Guo Xing frowned, and he was very unhappy.

The crown prince Zhengse said, "My father didn't say that he disagreed, he just said, it's just that the banquet is below the martial artist, the credit is not enough, it is impossible this year, look at it next year, if you can make a meritorious service, I will let you out." But if you don't have the ability to suppress the martial artist, don't even think about it when you go out," he said, picking up the teacup and drinking tea.

The three of them didn't speak anymore, and after a while, Guo Xing said, "Okay, I accept it, if you don't have the ability to suppress the martial artist below, I don't have the face to go out to practice."

Guo Xing then said to the prince, "I've bothered my eldest brother for my business."

"It's nothing to bother, it's just that I'm brushed by my younger brothers, and I'm not happy," the prince said with a smile.

After the prince finished speaking, he looked at the third child, and the third child was sweating on his forehead, and Guo Xing next to him could see that although the prince was making fun of the third child, it also meant that he was a little unhappy in his heart, and it seemed that the third child would not be able to bleed today.

Guo Xing said directly, "Big brother, you are usually busy, our brothers don't get together, today the eldest brother is fine, it is better to go to the third brother's [natural residence] to gather, and the third brother and I have made amends to the eldest brother, you think it's good, big brother."

When Guo Zhong heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Xiao Seventeen is right, let's get together today."

The prince didn't plan to do anything to the third child, but he happened to have nothing to do today, so he said, "The third child, I'll give you a chance today, if you can't make me happy, then the two crimes will be punished together, you have no opinion."

Guo Zhong hurriedly said, "No, how can there be an opinion, I'll arrange it" Guo Zhong was relieved.

At noon, the three brothers had a meal in the natural residence, Guo Zhong had arrangements in the afternoon, but someone from the prince's mansion called the prince, the prince had something to do, and the prince told Guo Xing when he left, don't be careless, he will collect other people's information and send it to Guo Xing, Guo Xing is to thank the prince again.

Guo Xing looked at the information sent by the prince in the study, and the sixth uncle, the eighth uncle and the tenth uncle in the royal family, their sons were okay, and they all reached the high level of martial artists, and their martial arts were also relatively proficient.

Guo Qing, the son of the sixth uncle, is good at using a big knife, and his skills are high-level martial artists, he has been the second for three years, and the son of the eighth uncle, Guo Heng, is good at using a sword, and he is a middle-level martial artist at a young age, and the third of two years was counterattacked by the son of the tenth uncle last year and fell to the fourth.

Guo Meng, the son of the tenth uncle, is short-tempered and good at using heavy swords, seventh three years ago, fourth two years ago, and third last year, has made great progress, and is expected to hit the first place this year.

Among the ministers is Qi Heng of the Pingnan General's Mansion, who is two years older than Guo Xing, and his kung fu has reached the high level of martial arts, and he has defeated martial arts opponents, he is considered a genius, Qi Heng is also the champion of the first three years, and he has won three consecutive championships.

The deadline for the information in Guo Xing's hand is last year, and I don't know how it will be this year. But this year should be very interesting, this year is Daqing, many generals stationed abroad have returned, the number of people is also the largest one, but also the highest gold content, after reading it, there is no interest, there is no threat, Guo Xing is still very confident in his strength.

Time flies quickly, this day is the day of the banquet, the third morning came to pick up Guo Xing to go together, the banquet is to take the way of men and women sitting separately, the woman is responsible for the queen mother's hospitality, this year is a big celebration, the emperor issued a decree early in the morning, this year's reward doubled, and also took out the title to reward the champion of the competition, so all parties held their breath.

People came relatively early, Guo Zhong took Guo Xing into the palace and went to the mother to ask for peace, and then followed the mother to the queen mother to ask for peace, the queen mother that Yingying Yanyan is innumerable, there are not many people who have seen Guo Xing, but there are no longer a few people who have been conquered by Guo Xing's temperament, many people think, how can the royal family still have such a prince, I don't know to inquire with the sisters next to me, and finally I know that this is the seventeenth son of the emperor, who has received the most rewards when he goes out of the palace, and he has the most princes。

Guo Zhong and Guo Xing were sweating profusely, the queen also saw the embarrassment of the two, so they let the two go out, after the two left, they went straight to the position of the princes, the first day of the game last year was not to participate in the top ten, the morning game to determine the top ten in the group, the afternoon is the challenge of the winning and losing group, the second day is the main competition to determine the top twelve, last year's top ten will also participate, the third day is the finals.

Visited a lot of people with Guo Zhong, and the other princes were very happy to see Guo Xing coming, knowing that they would not be trained at the bottom this year, the royal practice maniacs, they know very well, they are full of confidence in Guo Xing, the ministers also came a lot, Guo Xing also saw the ceremony one by one, everyone has a good impression of the seventeenth prince Guo Xing, you must know that Guo Xing's bookish spirit, can chat with these literati, and everyone still admires Guan Fuzi's knowledge, Guan Fuzi is just bad luck, but he is also a champion.

The old man Yu Xuanyu, who has withdrawn from the imperial court to retire at home, also came, Guo Xing's name was still given by the old man, so he came to visit, the old man was also very happy, asked Guo Xing's knowledge, and was more pleased with Guo Xing's knowledge, although Guo Xing had not seen the old man before, but every year after the opening of the house, the gifts have not been broken, so the old man also has an impression.

The emperor's relatives and relatives, the princes and ministers are all here, the emperor and queen have also come out, the banquet is presided over by the prince, and those who participate in the competition are ready to start preparing, and the martial artist and above cannot participate, and the purpose of the big competition is to see the strength of the younger generation.

The competition adopts a point system, ten rings, divided into ten groups, thirty people in each group, the top five points are promoted, Guo Xing is in the tenth ring, the third duel, the referees of the competition are all masters at the grandmaster level, the referee of the tenth ring Guo Xing knows at a glance, Longyuan Pavilion's teaching Guo Yue, Guo Yue also opened to Guo Xing, nodded, Guo Xing also returned the salute.

The first part of the knockout round is going very fast, Guo Xing is also very relaxed, with the [Sanqing Fu Devil's Hand], it is easy to win, the first twenty opponents are not more than three palms, knocked over to the ground, Guo Xing controlled very well and did not hurt people, now Guo Xing's control of internal force has reached a new level, the two are very different, Guo Xing does not need to use much strength to win.

Even if he was a little injured, it was not big, Guo Xing controlled it very well, everyone was very good at Guo Xing's subordinates, and there were 5 people in the back who directly admitted defeat, so Guo Xing easily won the first place in the No. 10 ring.

At noon, I met Guo Zhong, Guo Zhong was more well-informed, and listened to Guo Zhong say, "The old nine, the eighth, the sixteenth, the fifteenth, the tenth and the sixth have all been eliminated, and it is estimated that after the meeting, I will not love my father and the emperor" Guo Xing also shook his head, these people are hopeless.

In the afternoon, the winner 50 people have to accept the loser's 250 people roll call challenge, each winner has 3 times to be challenged, the loser has 2 times to challenge each person, Guo Xing was challenged once, the challenger is Gongsun Kang, the son of the Ministry of Works, Gongsun Kang saw that Guo Xing won very easily, thinking that everyone saw that he did not use all his strength in the identity of the prince, so he wanted to pick up a leak, no accident, the two palms lay down, and finally went down with a disgraced face, and this time he was lucky to see the situation clearly.

This seventeenth prince is powerful, Gongsun Kang's ability is very clear to everyone, and he was defeated with two palms, which shows that this seventeenth prince is not simple, let's change the opponent, therefore, Guo Xing did not receive any more challenges, but nine of the fifty people who won the original victory were still picked, which shows the fierce competition.
