"Childe, we've been delaying long enough. If you don't hurry to the Qixia Inn, I'm afraid that the secret housekeeper will kill the little ones. Ali chattered and cried.

"Childe, I don't dare to say that Ah Lan can't win any competition, I just want to say - we really should go." Ah Shan's face was also blue, just now the black ridge Suojin had said that the front was frightening and ambushed, and now, they could only meet with the secret steward to be the right way.

"Damn the stupid slave who came down from Kangaram Mountain, you can't even beat me, and you still want to beat the Octavia Knight, Jane is really stupid and stupid, just like Ah Hua on the flea nest beach!" Ah Die lay on Ma Lan's beautiful black male wind war horse and cursed Ah Lan loudly.

Ah Hua is the son of Ah Sen, a tidal flat carpenter, and although he is a boy, he is often bullied by Ah Die.

"Ah Lan, you-" Ma Lan Zhangxiu couldn't decide what Ah Lan had in mind, since he knew Ah Lan, he only thought that she was a discordant world, grew up under the wings of her father and her brother, cared for her in every way, and didn't even understand a lot of common sense, how could she know what martial arts?

"How far are we from Kangaram Mountain?" Ah Lan looked at the mountains under the night sky and asked Malan Zhangxiu hesitantly.

"The journey is fifty or sixty miles, and counting from the Kanggaram Mountain, it will turn around about a dozen mountains. Let's go, rush to the Qixia Inn before dawn, and set off with the secret housekeeper after dawn, so that the crisis is smaller. Ma Lan Zhangxiu avoided talking about any martial arts competition.

Isn't it a joke to let a mountain girl who has never been out of the mountain compete with Octavia Knight?

"But don't you want Sir Black-Leon Sorkin to protect you, Childe? I can win them. Alan smiled innocently.

Hei Leng Suojin shook his white hair, and smiled helplessly: "Master Maran, it is an honor for us to compete with your house slaves, can you please forgive us for our unintentional mistakes first?" We didn't intend to attack Childe, but the information was wrong. ”

"What's wrong? Isn't it just robbing a house? I don't dare to admit it. Ali sneered.

Kurensokin narrowed his eyes and didn't explain. The knights did not say a word.

Only then did Malan Zhangxiu discover that Heilen Sokin and the others were still in a ridiculous posture of bending their knees.

"Good. No bleeding, no broken muscles and bones," Ma Lan Zhangxiu said helplessly: "Anyway, it will be disgraceful for you to win the battle, and if you lose, you have to protect me across the Ganmao Trail." ”

Blackridge Sorkin stood up, kicked, and shrugged, "The most handsome Cardinal Knight of the Octavia Knights, you were defeated by this beautiful young lady just now, and now, it's time for you to regain your honor." ”

All the knights stood up and straightened their waists, and grinned at the most handsome cardinal knight: "Our honor is tied to you, handsome cardinal knight, if you have no chance of winning, let us come." ”

The most handsome Cardinal Knight bowed to his colleague and raised his right hand gracefully: "It is my honor to fight for the honor of your colleagues. ”

Ah Lan knew that everyone was laughing at her, watching the Octavia knights giggling and laughing, and she didn't think it was wrong, she still rode on Ali's warhorse, and when everyone finished laughing and quieted down, she asked: "I don't have weapons, and I don't like to fight people." How about we let the birds and beasts fight? ”

Ma Lan Zhangxiu was stunned when she heard this, and immediately understood what Ah Lan meant.

Ahsan and Ali glanced at each other, and each quickly reached out to cover his mouth, for fear of saying something wrong.

Ah Die looked at everyone inexplicably, "What kind of bird and beast are fighting?" Isn't it a human fight? ”

Ahsan said cautiously: "When people fight, they will bleed and hurt. Didn't our son just say that bleeding is not allowed, and muscles and bones are not allowed? ”

The most handsome cardinal knight bowed to Ah Lan in a dashing manner: "Miss Ren's order is that as long as it is not embroidered in this moonlight." ”

Then he asked the people, "What do you say?" ”

The brown-bearded elder Dongdan knight laughed: "You won't hurt the beautiful lady, will you?" ”

The slender and shy Sasha Knight cocked her orchid fingers and pointed at Ah Lan shyly: "People like her a lot, but don't hurt her." ”

The gray-haired Black Ridge Sorkin returned to his role as a bystander, standing farther away with his sword in his hands, leaning against a beech tree to watch the commotion.

The most important thing for Black Ridge Sokin is not to have a grudge against Maran Zhangxiu. If they have a grudge with the future prince of Nanshu, the Octavia Knights are only afraid that there will be a catastrophe in Nanshu.

He couldn't explain the reason for the accidental attack on Maran, but fortunately no one was killed, only a small slave was injured.

Now, no matter what the house slaves of Maran Gongzi want to try, it doesn't matter, the result is that Octavia Knight wins, they will not lose face, and they will resume friendship with Maran Gongzi, and everyone will break up amicably in the end, and the matter will be settled.

Alan said that the rule of the duel between the two sides is that within half an hour, each of them catches birds and beasts from the dark forest to the field to duel, and the victory or defeat of the birds and beasts they own determines the victory or defeat of the master.

The most handsome of the Cardinal Knights were clearly interested in the contest, and led the brown-bearded Dongdan Knight, the slender and shy Sasha Knight, and the bald-headed Black Iron Knight into the forest to catch squirrels and various birds, while Sir Blackridge Sorkin and the Doctor Knight stayed behind to drink and sleep.

Ma Lan Zhangxiu, Ah Shan, and Ali all looked at Ah Lan excitedly, they vaguely knew what Ah Lan was going to rely on to win, but they didn't know what to do.

"Hey, let's go catch the birds! Stupid slave coming down from Kangaram Mountain, you have a bad idea! Ah Die yelled, waving her fist at Ah Lan and roaring.

I saw Alan lightly clamp the horse's belly, and Ali's foal slowly walked under a tall acacia tree.

Alan reached for the branch of the golden acacia tree.

Malan Zhangxiu jumped on Ali's foal and picked up Alan and handed it up.

Ah Lan climbed to the top of the golden acacia tree, sat on the branches, reached out and plucked a few broad leaves, held them in his mouth, and blew a melodious whistle.

Sir Blacklensokin sat up and looked in amazement at Alan, whose face was indistinct from the golden acacia tree.

The doctor pricked up his ears to listen to the whistle and asked suspiciously, "What kind of song is she?" What's so weird about this song? ”

"It's no ordinary song. It seems to be—" Sir Black Ridge shook his head, "I'm not sure what it is, I haven't heard it in decades. ”

The knights, who were lurking in the forest catching pheasants and squirrels, also heard the whistle, which at first seemed to be nothing, but when the whistle became momentarily curvy, sometimes slow, sometimes deep, and sometimes mellow, they felt that something was wrong.

The squirrels in the forest were numerous, and they kept skimming in front of their eyes, as if they could reach out and catch them.

The branches of the trees swayed, the various perched birds fluttered and startled, the cuckoos cooed and fluttered in a certain direction, the grass warblers fell and fell and screamed and scurried among the low trees, and the larks chirped in panic and stretched out their erections from their nests.

A large flock of crows flew away from the knights' heads, their wings driving the cool breeze of the next summer night.

The most handsome of the cardinal knights, carrying five squirrels in one hand and three pheasants in the other, came out of the forest, put a rope around the feet of the squirrels and pheasants, and threw them in the middle of the field.

The long-bearded brown knight was even more heroic, and even caught two owls and five larks, and threw them into the middle of the field with ropes.

The slender and shy Sasha Knight was no slouch either, and after walking less than a mile along the river, he caught three wild ducks and two partridge birds, and cooed and cooed all the way, and returned victorious.

The tall and strong bald horseman was even more powerful, carrying a woodpecker in one hand and two ospreys in the other. God knows how he caught a woodpecker in a tree and ran to the stream to catch an osprey.

Dozens of birds and beasts were thrown into the middle of the field, ospreys quacked and hoarse, woodpeckers tuk-tuk, partridges cooed, squirrels squeaked, wild ducks quacked, and all kinds of sounds were noisy, like zoo animal gatherings, chaotic.

Malan Zhangxiu carefully counted the numbers, and finally asked Heilen Suojin: "There are twenty-three of these wild meats, which is enough for you to eat for seven days, right?" ”

The knights laughed, "What about yours? So you asked us to catch game for you to eat? Earlier, we had enough, and we were friends. ”

Ah Lan slid down from the golden acacia tree, looked at the various birds and squirrels fluttering on the ground, and shouted to the low black elm bushes behind him, "Jinxiu, come out and say hello to everyone." ”

A puppy with shiny black fur and two glowing green eyes came out of the elm bushes, its tongue sticking out in its mouth and panting heavily, apparently running from a distance, tired.

Blackensokin stood up and asked suspiciously, "Where did this puppy come from?" Why didn't we see that before? ”

The flock of birds in the middle of the field saw the splendid scenery, fluttered and screamed, and their feathers flew wildly.

Ma Lan Zhangxiu laughed proudly: "Yes, do you still need to compare?" When you see my family's splendid scenery, you're almost scared. ”

Ali asked stupidly: "Childe, when did Jinxiu become our family?" ”

Ah Shan turned sideways and slammed Ali's forehead and gave him a fierce brucus: "Ah Lan is Childe's house slave, isn't Jinxiu Childe's?" ”

The most handsome Cardinal Knight laughed in amazement, and when he had laughed enough, he said:

"Your puppy doesn't have a leash, does it? If we let go of all the birds and animals, there are twenty-three here, and maybe your puppy will be able to catch all twenty-three? As long as one of our families doesn't catch, it won't be considered a loss according to the rules, right? ”

Ah Lan walked up to the most handsome cardinal knight and smiled coquettishly, "What if we catch all twenty-three?" ”

The most handsome cardinal knight, of course, did not believe that a puppy had this ability, and said confidently: "Octavia knight is a promise, and if he loses, he will lose, and he will never pay his debts." But if one of them is on the run, it will not be lost. ”

Ahsan and Ali smiled blindfoldedly and looked expectantly into the dense forest.

Seeing that victory was in sight, Malan Zhangxiu proudly stood beside Ah Lan, hugged Ah Lan's petite body and said, "Ah Lan, from now on, these Octavia knights will be at your service." ”

Ah Lan raised his face and asked innocently: "I just want them to protect you back to China, I don't want them to do anything for me." ”

The most handsome Cardinal Knight maintained his graceful demeanor, bowed to Ah Lan and chuckled: "It is an honor to be able to serve the beautiful young lady. ”

Lan smiled at the Cardinal Knight, ran towards a tall acacia tree, climbed up the tree, sat down on a branch, picked a green leaf, and whistled and whistled.

Blackridge Gold frowned, and Cardinal Knight opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Ah Die, who was riding on Ma Lan's Xiu Xuan's black horse, said impatiently: "It's going to be dawn later, can you compete faster?" When it's over, it's better to roast some wild ducks and eat them. ”

Ah Shan turned back to Ah Die and made a strange face: "You already have a duck face, and you still eat it?" ”

Ali stood a little farther away and corrected Ah Shan's words: "No, he has a horse face, a very standard horse face!" ”

These three people are ready to upset each other anytime and anywhere.

Ah Die gritted his teeth and raised his fist angrily: "You! Hum! ”

The Cardinal Knight gestured to Maran Akiso, bent down and began to untie the feet of the various birds and squirrels in the middle of the field.

The two partridges were the first to be untied, cooing, and screaming to fly, and Splendid rushed forward to pick up one and throw it back into the middle of the field.

The knights watched the juggling, giggling and untying the birds while watching the splendid capture, and their excitement was overflowing.

"Hahaha, puppy, these are five larks, see how many you can catch?" The slender and shy Sasha Knight untied the lark's foot, threw the lark into the dark sky, and the lark chirped and scurried into the forest.

Jinxiu jumped and grabbed one and threw it to the ground, and when he tried to catch it again, the lark was already flying high, and there was nothing he could do.

Ah Die raised a horse face and angrily shouted at Ah Lan on the acacia tree: "Cheap slave, you are going to lose, think of a way!" ”
