Chapter 264: Lively Son-in-law
Sima Yue snorted coldly and said, "First, the mastermind behind the Taiping Pavilion is Luo Fan. His words are quite similar to the concept of the Taiping Pavilion that Huangfu Tianrong has been secretly preaching. This is enough to show that he is the master of the Taiping Pavilion. Second, since he wants to subvert the entire pattern of the world, then he is not only our enemy, but also the enemy of the world's people. If Li Benxin and these people know about it, I'm afraid they will be in a hurry to kill him than we do! ”
The silver-faced swordsman nodded in agreement and said, "That makes sense." After all, as a superior person, who really wants to be on an equal footing with the common people. So what are you going to do next? ”
Sima Yue said without thinking: "Don't be in a hurry to act, let's wait for Feng Laijiang to do it first." If he really kills Luofan, we don't need to think about it anymore. Tomorrow is the last day of Wu Jiuzhen's primary election for her son-in-law. I hope Yuliang can pass the test smoothly. If he can really marry Wu Jiuzhen, then we have the protection of Yama Mountain Villa, and we can do things without scruples. ”
The silver-faced swordsman was full of confidence and said, "Don't worry, the topic has already been stolen." Tomorrow, as long as he helps Sima Yuliang get rid of the other selected opponents, he should be nine out of ten. ”
……
Following. The sun is rising, and in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is a lot of people.
In the past few days, Wu Jiuzhen has publicly elected a son-in-law. Those who have the ability and those who don't have the ability in the rivers and lakes, as long as anyone is bold and dares to show their heads, they will all come. The chivalrous people from all directions, plus the people who love to watch the excitement, crowd half of the street early every day.
The selection of a son-in-law is divided into a primary selection and a final selection. The primary selection lasted for three days and was divided into two levels: archery and guessing.
The rules of archery were simple: 300 paces away from the ring, a man-high wooden stand was placed, and a row of bells no larger than the size of a thumb were hung on the rack. Whoever can shoot the bell with one arrow will pass the test. Then you can enter the Martial Mansion and perform the second level of guessing.
Guessing is even simpler, the contestants randomly draw a puzzle, and if they can answer the correct answer within a stick of incense, they will pass the test and can continue to participate in tomorrow's finals.
These two levels seem simple, but they are difficult for almost everyone. In the first two days, six or seven thousand people participated in archery, but only about 30 succeeded. And luckily passed the first level, and almost all of them were brushed off by the second level of guessing. After all, it is a puzzle personally created by Wenkui Wu Jiuzhen, and the difficulty can be imagined.
And the really powerful and smart characters, they all chose to shoot on the last day. After the first two days of stay, they first trained themselves in archery, and then collected the problems of guessing puzzles. In this way, you will be more confident in passing the test.
On the third day, counting from the first rise of the sun, it was just over half an hour. There are already four or five hundred masters on stage to show their skills. There are also twelve masters who have passed the test, which is obviously much higher than the odds of winning the previous two days.
At this time, at the end of the street, Xue Yang and his apprentices, as well as Ji Cheng and his wife, also came together to join in the fun. After a few days of recuperation, Zhao Xue and Xie Xu have recovered from their injuries. Also take the opportunity to walk around. He Mingming, Ye Si and Ji Cheng's righteous son Yi Chuanfeng, these three unmarried young heroes are also eager to try. Although they don't have great hopes of marrying Wu Jiuzhen, it is not in vain that they can show their skills in the ring.
Walking on the street, He Mingming looked happy, patted Ye Si's shoulder, and grinned with bared teeth: "Seventh brother, seven senior brothers, we are two brothers are still single." In a moment, let's go up and try it. If you can become the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it will be developed. ”
Ye Si was holding the Qinghu Wujin Knife in his hand, it was the young man who was extraordinary, and said jokingly: "Sixth brother, then I won't be polite to you for a while." If I win, don't blame me for stealing the limelight. ”
He Ming was full of enthusiasm and said with a smile: "Who is afraid of whom." At that moment, let's have a competition. also let you know the true ability of your sixth brother. ”
Zhao Xue also smiled on the side: "Not bad." A good man should fight for the first place. After a while, you two will work harder, so that the world can see the majesty of our Qicheng God Hunt! ”
Xue Yang looked at Ji Cheng, stroked his beard and said happily: "Look, this young man is good." I think that at the beginning, we were also fighting bandits in the mountains, going down the mountain to catch thieves, and we couldn't use up the spirit all day long. It's a pity that I'm old, and I can't make up for this excitement anymore. I can only look at the performance of these young people. ”
Ji Cheng recalled the time and joked: "Hey, the four of us were the four tigers of the Sword Pass back then, if we can encounter this good thing, why would we make a big fuss." However, to say that the most cutting-edge young man in Dragon City today should be the only one who is the Yuhong Immortal of the Sima family, Sima Yuliang, and that Luofan. Such a good opportunity, the two of them should come too. ”
Zhao Xue frowned and asked, "It shouldn't be." Doesn't Sima Yuliang like Yuran? In this case, can you still come to participate in Wu Jiuzhen's son-in-law? ”
Hearing Zhao Xue still talk like this, there were no scruples, and everyone could only laugh.
Xue Yuran was still pale and glanced at it slightly, but did not speak.
Zhao Xue knew that she was speechless, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry." It's a bit of a mouthful. Let's stop gossiping, let's go to the ring first. ”
The crowd continued to walk towards the ring, and suddenly there was an exclamation from the front, "Wow! Someone has succeeded again! ”
Hearing that someone had succeeded, the crowd looked up at the ring in the distance. But in the ring, there was a tall thin old man wearing a white brocade coat with flowers and white beard, and gray hair. Although the old man was old, he was strong and strong, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's falcon. Holding a black iron bow, he is a tall man.
Seeing that an old man also came to compete, Zhao Xue raised her eyebrows angrily, and couldn't help but raise her sword and scolded: "Old immortal thing, don't have a face at all." The girl chooses a son-in-law, and he is an old man who comes to make a fuss. Now the way of the world is really upside down, as long as you see the benefits, all the courtesy, righteousness and shame are left behind! I really want to rush up and give him a sword! ”
Seeing this, Xue Yang patted Zhao Xue on the shoulder, quite worried, and said, "Zhao Xue, you are in good health, don't always be angry." It seems that you still have to find Luofan to take a look at it for you. I always feel that after you got better, your temper has grown a lot. ”
Zhao Xue took a deep breath and nodded, "Whew!" Lately, I've always felt weak and irritable. I should have taken a few days off. ”
Everyone pretended to be overdressed, Ji Cheng pointed to the old man who left the ring, and said with a smile: "No wonder he can pass the test." This old man is the hero of the older generation of the Golden Arrow Gate. He is the fourth-ranked archer in the world. Archery can be difficult to stop others, but of course it can't stop him. ”
"But if he passes the first level, he may not be able to pass the second level."
As soon as Ji Cheng finished speaking, a strange and witty young man's voice suddenly came from behind him.
Everyone looked back and saw that it was Huangfu Tianrong, who was dressed in brocade clothes and had a smile on his face. At this time, he was holding a golden bow in one hand and a jade fan in the other, still looking like a gentleman.
Ye Si smiled: "It turned out to be Luofan's brother Huangfu." I said on a cold day, why don't you still take a fan, you are not afraid of catching a cold. ”
Huangfu Tianrong smiled at everyone and bowed his hand, and said, "You are polite." My fan is made of jade, warm and warm. And this is also a sign of my emperor's glory. You see, those heroes in the rivers and lakes, this one wears a sword, the other carries a magic gun, and there are those who play with snakes and raise dogs, and they also hang a gourd and get a handkerchief at the worst. And my emperor Fu Tianrong is good to take a fan, maybe I will become famous in the future, and people will give me the good name of a jade fan son. ”
The crowd laughed happily.
He Mingming looked at the golden bow in Huangfu Tianrong's hand, and said with envy in his eyes: "Oh, you are worthy of being the jade fan son of Huangfu's family, your family is really rich." Even the bow and arrows are made of gold, do you want to participate in the election of a son-in-law? ”
Huangfu Tianrong shook his fan and said with a smile: "Of course." How could this kind of fun be without me? However, it is also my father's destiny that I have to come. How many of you are also lively? Maybe we'll be able to pick up a dead rat! ”
Ye Si was not cowardly, and said with a smile: "That's exactly what I mean." We're not going to let you go for a while. ”
Huangfu Tianrong also smiled back unceremoniously: "That's nature." Good things are now, who is willing to let others. ”
Xue Yang nodded, stroked his beard and said: "The Huangfu family has been wealthy for generations, and the Huangfu Shaoxia is naturally both civil and military, and we will cheer you for a while." By the way, what about your brother Luofan? Isn't he coming today? I also want to treat him to dinner and thank him for saving my two apprentices. ”
Huangfu Tianrong shook his head, shrugged his shoulders again, and said, "I don't know. As soon as he arrived in Dragon City, he was busy all day long, either fighting this or killing that. I haven't seen him in days. He should come, though. As long as he is against the four major families, he is indispensable. ”
Hearing this, everyone smiled deeply, and their faces were silent with awe. When they think of what Luo Fan did, some of them were disgusted, some were happy, some were admired, some were afraid, and some were jealous, envious, and puzzled. He is like a dangerous mystery, the terrible wrapped in magic, and a little more dazzling and unknown. It makes people want to be close, but they are afraid to stay away.
The crowd was pondering. Behind the crowd came a handsome boy with a jade face, full of luxury, and heroic posture.
