Volume 2 The Imperial City Chapter 32 The Tournament
After a long time.
Cui Tingyun, who was smiling, walked out of the hall and met the three of them not far from the door.
"Sister Cui, you have a bright smile, and you have secretly promised it?" Xiao Yu'er quipped.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's just rare to meet someone with similar interests." Cui Tingyun said angrily.
"The third prince has already promised me, as soon as the flying pigeon from Zilai Mountain arrives and the truth of this matter is confirmed, the matter of delivery can be put on the agenda."
"I see, eighty percent of people have taken a fancy to you and want to marry you as a concubine, you look at the eyes of the third prince, and they haven't moved away from you."
"Hey, sister, why are the roots of your ears red?" Xiao Yu'er was afraid that others would not know, so she pinched Cui Tingyun's earlobe.
"Little fish!" Xuanyi couldn't stand it anymore and stopped her.
"Slightly." The little fish stuck out her tongue.
"Okay, since we're waiting for the book to be passed on, let's go out for a walk."
"Guys, please."
The guards at the door led the four out of the palace.
"Wait."
As they walked out of the palace, a familiar voice stopped them.
The three princes, who had changed into casual clothes all their lives, came from behind.
"I'm sorry, guys, I forgot something."
"I wonder if you're interested in participating in tomorrow's tournament."
"Tomorrow, our Li clan will be the organizer of the martial arts competition, inviting people with lofty ideals inside and outside the imperial city to participate in the competition, the winners will receive rich rewards, and those with excellent results will also have the opportunity to play for our Li clan."
"Okay, okay, let's participate." As soon as the little fish heard that there was activity, they couldn't be positive.
"Well, there really isn't much opportunity to practice along the way, and since the Li family is willing to build this platform, it's okay for us to participate." Xuanyi nodded.
"Okay, then it's decided, this is an invitation, everyone, don't send it."
The three princes took out three envelopes from behind their backs and handed them to the three of them.
The group that received the invitation saluted with fists and continued to follow the guards out of the palace.
On the road.
"Sister, why are they starting this competition?"
"Of course, it's to recruit talent." Xuan Yi touched Xiao Yu'er's head.
"Think about it, now that the Li royal family in Sangzhou is in decline, and a large area of territory has fallen into his hands, it must be in a state of lack of success, so it is necessary to recruit external talents from time to time to supplement its own strength, so that there is hope to regain lost territory in the future."
"So think about it, what's the quickest way to screen people with great strength? Of course, it's a jousting tournament. The royal family can also take this opportunity to show off its heritage and give generous rewards to the winners, even if they can't recruit talent in the end, they can also end up with a good reputation, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”
"I see." Wei Changming also said suddenly, "I'm still thinking about what if the winner doesn't join the royal family, Miss Xuan's words made me understand the truth." ”
"Ho!" The little fish suddenly took a stance. "Xiao Changming, take it!"
Then I saw that he suddenly attacked Wei Changming and slapped Wei Changming on the back with a palm.
pushed Wei Changming to stumble.
"What are you doing!"
Wei Changming, who was helpless, could only put down the package, retreated step by step, and saw the move.
Xiao Yu'er didn't use cultivation, and the two tried back and forth for dozens of rounds.
"It's boring." Xiao Yu'er suddenly stopped. "Why aren't you serious at all, boring, and gone."
Wei Changming shook his head helplessly, then picked up the package on the ground and followed the crowd.
"Sister, let's take a look at the store!"
At this time, Xiao Yuer's interest had shifted from the competition to shopping, and she pulled the second daughter to the shop on the side.
"Is this one pretty?" Xiao Yu'er took a silk robe and put it on in front of him.
"My sister looks good in whatever she wears." Miss Cui covered her mouth and smiled.
"What about this one!" Xiao Yu'er picked up a yellow dress again.
"Okay, Xiaoyu'er, you have enough yellow clothes, don't buy any more!" Xuan Yi said helplessly.
"Buy another one, this one looks good!" Xiao Yu'er held the skirt in her hand and refused to let go.
"I really can't help you."
"Hehe, Sister Xuan is the best."
The little fish grinned and was about to pull out his pocket to pay.
"Oh no, where's my money, my money bag is gone!" Xiao Yu'er touched the pocket of her clothes, but found that there was nothing in the pocket.
"What's wrong? Did you go out and bring money today? ”
"I'm sure I brought it! I touched it when I was drinking tea at the Three Princes' place. Why is it missing now. "Xiao Yu'er is in a hurry, she has brought a lot of spirit stones out today, if she loses it, it is not a small expense.
"Don't worry. Think about where you might lose it. ”
"I want to think, I want to think." The little fish walked around in a hurry, and suddenly patted his head.
"I see! I just got into a fight with Wei Changming on the road! It's all to blame Wei Changming, it must have been lost at that time! ”
It's really people walking on the road, and pots coming from the sky.
Wei Changming was indignant.
"Didn't you sneak up on me first? Why should the wicked sue first! ”
"I don't care, I'll blame you!"
"Okay, don't make trouble, Xiaoyu'er, the top priority is to find the whereabouts of the money bag." Or Xuanyi said the key.
"Since we're not far yet, let's go back and look for it."
"Okay."
The crowd returned to the old ways.
The little fish looked around, but there was no trace of the money bag.
The other three were also helping to find it.
"Little fish, is there anything in your money bag that you can sense?"
The dejected little fish said: "No, I only have spirit stones and silver in my money bag, as well as a hairpin bought by Qingyu City." ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Yu'er's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Eh, by the way, that hairpin was made by my grandmother, and I have already recognized the master, I should be able to sense a trace of connection, and it has the mark of our Flower Moon Sect on it."
Immediately, Xiao Yu'er settled down, secretly urged his spiritual sense, and quietly searched for anything around him that was inductive to him.
A bun shop not far away.
"Get rich, get rich, I didn't expect Xiao Nizi to be so rich, there are really a lot of spirit stones in this money bag, use the silver in it to have lunch first."
A thin man smiled brightly, graciously took the silver from his money bag and patted it on the bun shop.
"Boss, come with two meat buns and a bowl of good wine, I have money."
"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute, your buns and wine are here."
······
The thin man eats meat with his left hand and drinks wine with his right, swaggering down the street.
Suddenly, he noticed that the package in his arms was a little hot.
"Well, sure enough, after eating and drinking, people have become warmer."
Fangxiang market, buying and selling, restaurant singing, endlessly.
"Dare thief, dare to steal your aunt's things."
Suddenly, behind the thin man, there was a discordant voice.
