Chapter 440: Cold Field
After saying that, Guan Darong waved his hand, signaling that the competition had officially begun, and then strode to the side and sat down beside Guan Yuzhi, who had a bad face. 【Reading.com】
"Dad, didn't I tell you a long time ago, I already have someone in mind, why do you want to make such a big battle again! I don't like the person I picked out, I won't marry him!" Guan Yuzhi complained very unhappily.
Since the last time she found a chance to meet Lin Hai at the celebration banquet, she was locked in the room by Guan Darong as soon as she came back, and she was not allowed to go anywhere. Sent people to guard the door day and night, and did not bring her out until the competition began.
"Don't think I don't know!" Guan Darong said without looking back while paying attention to the situation in the ring: "Aren't you the kid who likes Lin Hai? I still don't understand, what's so good about that kid? He is now eighteen years old, and his cultivation has just been promoted to the middle stage of the Yellow Order, and even you can't compare." If you really marry him in the future, don't say that he can't hold his head up at home, and if he can't go out and encounter any trouble, you have to come forward to protect him, what kind of thing is this!"
"I don't care! I just like that piece of wood! I just want to be with him! If he doesn't marry!" Guan Yuzhi said angrily, turning his head angrily and ignoring Guan Darong.
Guan Darong looked at Guan Yuzhi's stubborn side face and frowned. He really didn't want Guan Yuzhi to be with Lin Hai, although the Lin family was a duke's family, and it seemed to have a lot of status. However, the Guan family has always attached more importance to personal cultivation and has not been too interested in the other party's official power.
A martial arts family like the Guan family, because of its special nature, can be passed on forever, and the earl's title is also hereditary, so they don't have to worry about offending anyone or who they want to please, so they just want to recruit a young talent with superb martial arts this time.
Last year, Lin Hai won the first place in the martial arts of the Benyun Horse Club, and at the end of the year, he became the head of the Shenwei Battalion, and recently I heard that he was appointed by Yu Shaoxi to build a Daxia Military Academy, and he may become the dean in the future. In fact, Guan Darong knows all these situations.
But Guan Darong himself also went to inquire, judging from the news he got, he felt that Lin Hai was actually nothing more than that, the first martial arts fight was won because he had a good horse, and the Shenwei battalion where he served as the head of the sect was simply a military camp that was not in the stream, much worse than that kind of large military camp.
As for the dean of any military academy, it's just an idle errand, who knows if this academy will be able to become a climate in the future?
Therefore, Guan Darong believes that although Lin Hai's career seems to have made a difference, his strength is still too weak after all, and he is not worthy of Yuzhi at all, nor does he meet the standards of the Guan family, so he simply ignored him.
"Don't make a child's temper, marriage matters, of course, are decided by the parents, whoever can stand in this ring today to the end will be your husband!" Guan Darong sank his face and said categorically.
"Yes...... But ......" Guan Yuzhi was so aggrieved that he was about to continue, but he saw a shadow flashing in the ring, and suddenly there was another person standing on it, obviously someone came up to accept the challenge.
She glanced at the person who came, and her face immediately changed, although she had long known that this person would definitely come, but she didn't expect him to come earlier than Lin Hai! Lin Hai, why haven't you come yet!
The person who came arched his hand at Guan Darong, glanced at the audience again, and said loudly: "Uncle Guan, isn't it Situ Xiaofeng, the grandson of Duke Situ Wuji, who is willing to accept anyone's challenge in order to win the heart of Miss Yuzhi." When he said the word "duke", he also deliberately emphasized it in a more accentuated tone.
The person who came was Situ Xiaofeng, he raised it for so many days, and the injury under his crotch had finally healed almost, and Situ's family threw a large amount of spiritual herbs and elixirs into it, which finally allowed him to save his life and recover his vitality, so he came to the door of the Guan family early in the morning and waited, wanting to fulfill his long-standing wish and return with a beauty.
Not long after Guan Darong finished his opening remarks just now, he couldn't wait to jump on the stage. On the one hand, he wanted to use this move to express his determination to Guan Yuzhi, and on the other hand, he also planned to highlight his family background in order to deter those who were delusional and planned to participate.
"Okay!" Guan Darong nodded and stood up, glanced at the ring, and said with a full heart: "I don't know which young talent is willing to come on stage and fight with Situ Xiaofeng?"
Situ Xiaofeng's thoughts about his daughter, Guan Darong actually knew very well for a long time, he didn't know much about the things in the officialdom, so the grievances and entanglements were not very clear.
For him, the Situ family doesn't hate it, but he doesn't have any interest in officialdom, so he can't take his daughter to the Situ family, and he still has a businesslike attitude.
Besides, Guan Darong has heard that this Situ Xiaofeng is the commander of the inner guards in the palace, and if he can guard the palace, it must be a superb martial art. Although he heard that he seemed to have lost the battle of Lilac City at the beginning of the year, Guan Darong felt that this kind of thing had nothing to do with personal strength.
Fighting a war is a matter of commanding thousands of troops and horses, and commanding and dispatching must use his brain. Originally, people in the rivers and lakes did not attach much importance to this kind of trick of winning by wit, and what they valued was their personal strength! Even if he asked Guan Darong to lead the troops, maybe he would have to lose? Therefore, in his opinion, Situ Xiaofeng's ability is still very strong, and maybe he will really win this time.
As a result, Guan Darong was a little surprised that after being emphasized by Situ Xiaofeng, the people who were originally going to jump on the stage to try their skills began to retreat a little, and the people in the audience looked at each other and saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes.
Among these retreating people, many of them even cultivated above Situ Xiaofeng, but when they heard Situ Wuji's name, they dispelled their thoughts one after another.
Everyone said that he was a son of a family of dukes, and that was one of the four great dukes of the Great Xia Empire! If he came to power and accidentally crippled Situ Xiaofeng, what good fruit would he have to eat in the future? If he went back, he would definitely be sought revenge!
Seeing that the audience in the audience talked a lot and did not do much, Guan Darong's face couldn't help but be a little unbearable, he couldn't let Situ Xiaofeng come up and shout so suddenly, and he would succeed directly, right? In this way, wouldn't today's contest to recruit relatives become a farce?
