Chapter 33: The Xiao Family's Martial Arts Training Ground
Early in the morning of the second day, there were two soldiers dressed in white silver armor, straight swords, holding red flags, and the word Xiao written on the flag, came to the Fengfu, giving people a grand feeling, and the people of the Fengfu hurriedly fired the cannon and welcomed them into the hall. After Feng Qingshan thanked him, he led the second master to seal the beginning, the fourth master to seal the end, and Yang Xiaotian, Feng Yu, and Qiye to follow the people to the city lord's mansion.
Along the way, passers-by saw the soldiers holding the red flag to open the way, unprecedented, and they all congratulated Feng Qingshan and applauded and cheered for them. Feng Qingshan nodded his head with a smile on his face, and the second master Feng Youchu also thanked him with a smile like his father. No one saw it, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of the fourth master's mouth.
"How does this feel like a bride sitting in a sedan chair!" Feng Yu said happily.
"Sister, how do you know?
"Bastard, I haven't seen a sedan chair before!" Feng Yu shot back.
Nanaya kept smiling on his face, such a sincere feeling was something he had never had before, and he didn't dare to start, afraid of breaking this beautiful feeling.
Finally, they came to the outside of the city lord's mansion, a city wall ten zhang high stood in front of them, stretching for hundreds of meters, and a red Xiaozi flag was inserted on it every ten meters, and there were fifty or sixty guards standing under the city gate, wearing silver armor, with straight swords at the waist, and spears in their hands, standing straight in two rows, giving people a sense of awe.
One of the guards stepped out and came to the two soldiers who had led them, checked the relevant documents, and then shouted, "Open the door." ”
I saw that the city gate made a creaking sound, opened from the outside to the inside, everyone followed the flag bearer to the city wall, what caught my eye was a square martial arts training ground about two hundred meters long, there was a battle platform built with jade in the middle, dazzling, there was a row of two-meter-high viewing platforms on the side of the martial arts training ground facing the city gate, which was already filled with people one after another, and there were several empty positions in the center, which were specially reserved for the enrollment group by the city lord.
Yang Xiaotian looked around, the three city walls were as tall as the city walls behind him, this was a special place for the city lord Lord Xiao to practice privately, and sometimes important competitions, Lord Xiao would also invite everyone to come here to show his pro-people side.
Feng Qingshan, the second master Feng Youchu and the fourth master Feng Youzhong were finally arranged to sit on the designated viewing platform, while Yang Xiaotian and Feng Yu were arranged in the waiting area in front of the battle platform.
"Lao He, you're here too!" Wang Qiubai in the stands saw that He Zizai, the head of the He family, also came to the viewing platform and sat down, and said with a smile.
After all, the three juniors of the He family, He Long, He Hu, and He Feng, were all eliminated in yesterday's knockout round. This made He Zizi very embarrassed, he felt the most embarrassed to be invited today, but the city lord specially sent a flag soldier to invite, and it was not good to save Lord Xiao's face, so he could only come hard.
Now that he is being teased by his old opponent Wang Qiubai like this, how can he show weakness, and said: "The big drama still has to be watched, otherwise it will be painful to miss the tenth battle of Zhan Yuan's nephew." ”
Originally, He Zizi just said hello, and didn't mean to laugh at him, but he didn't expect him to be so sensitive, so he said: "No matter how miserable the defeat is, it is still in the top ten, and you can enter the Imperial Academy to study." ”
"Cut. He Zizai turned his head to look away and stopped talking.
One after another, the number of people was full, and almost all the heads of the slightly larger families in Qingnan City were invited to participate in today's qualifying competition, and the scene was quite large.
At this time, Lord Xiao, the city lord, led the people of the enrollment team to slowly walk up to the central viewing platform, and greeted the heads of the major families with a smile all the way, after all, this is the Xiao family's martial arts training ground, so he is the master, and the others are guests.
After sitting down, the city lord Xiao Haoran smiled and said: "Yesterday in the eastern suburbs after a fierce battle, the ten leaders in the audience were decided, today is the qualifying competition of the enrollment competition, thank you for the empire for sending Lord Hanshan to lead the enrollment team to our Qingnan City to inspect, this is the supreme glory of all the soldiers and civilians in our Qingnan City, and thank you for your family's trust and support to me Xiao over the years, welcome everyone to my Xiao family as a guest." In today's qualifying round, we will continue to draw lots for the right place in the spirit of fairness and justice, and then the losing group will have another chance to challenge the winning group, and finally, the ranking will be positioned. I now declare the start of qualifying. ”
At this time, there was warm applause in the stands, after all, being invited to participate in such an important game is not only an affirmation of the family, but also a symbol of status, even if the juniors are not qualified to participate in the competition, this is also the city lord's recognition of his family.
"The lottery begins!"
Yesterday, the host appeared on the platform again, only to see a person with a bucket in his arms appear in the center of the stands, this time it was Lord Hanshan and the city lord who drew lots.
