Li Chengxian asked Liu Lu: "I happen to have two tickets for the martial arts competition, can you go to see them together?"

He was a little nervous waiting for Liu Lu's answer, and even he didn't know why he was nervous.

Only 2,000 tickets were sold for the National Martial Arts Competition, and the ticket prices for each session were sky-high.

Liu Lu looked at the ticket in Li Chengxian's hand, and thought that the price of this ticket was enough to buy a house in the capital, and she couldn't help but feel pain.

Liu Lu pondered for a few breaths and replied, "Okay." ”

Li Chengxian laughed and said, "It's quite far from the martial arts arena here, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." ”

Liu Lu hurriedly said: "Don't come too early, my father-in-law doesn't like me to go out, you wait for him to come back after he goes to work." ”

Li Chengxian paused for a moment, feeling that there seemed to be something wrong, but he was not used to it, so he agreed indifferently.

At this time, the sturdy Li Dazhuang came in. Li Dazhuang looked at Li Chengxian with big round eyes, turned his head and asked Liu Lu in a loud voice: "Auntie, who is he? You won't refuse the Ye family's relatives because of him, right?"

Li Chengxian was embarrassed.

Liu Lu's face froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Da Zhuang, don't talk nonsense. This is Li Chengxian, my new friend. ”

Li Dazhuang said: "Ye Chen is my best friend, he is one of the few young talents in the capital, he likes you, why do you refuse his relatives?"

Liu Lu was stunned and said, "I don't know that he likes me, you can ask your grandfather about the marriage." ”

Li Dazhuang asked Liu Lu: "Then are you willing to marry him?"

Liu Lu had a headache, wrinkled her eyebrows, and asked, "Da Zhuang, who asked you to ask these words?"

Li Dazhuang said: "I ...... I'm going to ask myself. ”

Liu Lu said, "Did your friend ask you to ask?"

Li Dazhuang was a little weak-hearted, lowered his voice, and said: "Auntie, do you like him or not? If you like it, you can agree to it again, he won't mind, he just wants to marry you." ”

Liu Lu's face changed, her father-in-law refused this family affair without asking her wishes, and Li Dazhuang didn't know the inside story, so he would come nonsense.

Old Madam Li heard the movement, walked out, and said to Li Dazhuang: "Da Zhuang, what nonsense are you talking about, don't you see that there are guests here? ”

Li Dazhuang said: "Grandma's ......"

Old Madam Li glared at Li Dazhuang: "Why don't you hurry up? ”

Li Dazhuang glared at Li Chengxian and left in a huff.

Old Madam Li looked at Li Chengxian and said, "Master Li, this kid is not sensible, so you can laugh." ”

Li Chengxian said: "It's okay. ”

He looked at Liu Lu and found that Liu Lu looked a little sad.

The next day, the National Martial Arts Competition opened.

Early in the morning, Li Dazhuang came to the main house excitedly and invited Liu Lu to watch the opening of the martial arts competition.

Cui'er said, "There are no tickets, what do you think?"

Li Dazhuang said: "Tickets are so expensive, where can we afford them." Even if you can afford it, you can't grab it. You can see it without a ticket. Today, the emperor will come out from the main gate of the palace and pass through Fenghe Street, and enter the martial arts arena from the south gate of the martial arts arena to participate in the opening ceremony. There will be a lot of people coming out to watch, and the road will be full of people, but it will be lively. We have to start early, or we won't be able to get a good position. ”

The martial arts arena is located in the north-west of the capital, 1,800 meters wide from east to west, and 2,000 meters long from north to south. There are arenas, archery ranges, rock climbing fields, obstacle crossings, piling and training grounds. There are two gates in the martial arts arena. The south gate is the main gate, which leads to Hoyowa-dori Street, and the east gate, which leads to the Imperial Palace.

In order to build this martial arts arena, Hux's country expanded the urban area of the capital. When it was first built, the martial arts arena was specially used to hold the triennial national martial arts competition. Later, it became a training ground for the garrison of the capital, and was used to train the army during non-tournament periods.

Cui'er said, "If you want to go alone, my master won't go." ”

Li Dazhuang asked Liu Lu without giving up: "Auntie, go and take a look, I promise it will be very exciting." ”

Liu Lu: "......"

Old Madam Li said beside her: "You bastard, don't be afraid that your father will break your legs." ”

Li Dazhuang said, "Grandma, are you going to see it?"

Mrs. Li said: "I have a handful of old bones, what else do I see." If you want to go, hurry up, and don't pull your aunt. ”

Li Dazhuang had to leave alone.

An hour later, Li Cheng came first.

Liu Lu was about to go out. Old Madam Li coughed beside her.

Liu Lu said coquettishly: "Godmother, I'll go and see, I'll come back as soon as possible." ”

These days, Liu Lu and Li Chengxian met, Mrs. Li hid it from Mrs. Li, and now let them go out together, Mrs. Li was uneasy, she said, "Girl, don't go." There are so many people outside, as soon as you go out, my heart is terrified. ”

Liu Lu held Mrs. Li's arm and said coquettishly: "Godmother, I'll come back when I go to see, I'm not going out alone, don't worry, I'll come back early." ”

Seeing that Liu Lu insisted on going, Mrs. Li had no choice but to say, "Lulu, you must be careful, don't go out for too long, come back early." Remember, come back early. Alas, I'm worried. ”

Liu Lu nodded in agreement, and said coquettishly: "Godmother, I will come back early, don't worry, I will be fine." ”

Mrs. Li explained to Li Chengxian: "Chengxian, you have to protect her." ”

Li Chengxian agreed: "Auntie, don't worry, I will." ”

By his side, there was a middle-aged servant, who looked like a practitioner.

Old Madam Li shook her head and sighed: "Alas, I don't understand what you young people are thinking. ”

Li Chengxian and Liu Lu got into the carriage and set off for the south gate of the martial arts arena.

After the carriage had gone for a while, it stopped, and the coachman said, "Young owner, there are too many people to pass." ”

Li Chengxian opened the curtain and saw that there was a sea of people in front of him, blocking the way.

Li Chengxian said to the coachman: "Try a different way." ”

The coachman drove the carriage around the other road. Soon after, the carriage stopped again. The coachman said, "Young owner, this road is not going to work." There are too many people today, all waiting to see the emperor. ”

Li Chengxian lifted the curtain and saw layers of people in front of him, and the carriage could not continue to move forward.

At this time, the crowd was in a commotion, cheering: "The emperor is coming, the emperor is coming, look!" "The emperor is here, long live the emperor!"

Li Chengxian said to Liu Lu in the car: "Wait for the crowd to disperse a little and we will go over." ”

Liu Lu nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Liu Jing was hugged by the front and then went into the martial arts arena, and the crowd on the street began to evacuate. When the others were almost dispersed, Li Chengxian and Liu Lu walked to the south gate of the martial arts field. When they arrived at the arena, the opening ceremony had already begun.

In the circular arena, tens of thousands of people stood on the stairs on the south, east and west. On the rostrum on the north side of the arena, Liu Jingduan sat in the center, and next to him sat several ministers and hundreds of guards.

When Liu Lu walked into the arena, Liu Jing was making an opening speech, and his voice spread throughout the venue.

Separated by dozens of steps and the arena, Liu Lu couldn't see Liu Jing clearly. She only saw a vague figure, and heard Liu Jing say inspiringly: "...... I hope that every one of our players will achieve good results and play for the country in the future. Finally, I wish this national martial arts competition a complete success!"

The words fell, and thunderous applause rang out, echoing in the arena for a long time.

That solemn and heroic figure, looking down on the entire arena from above, solemn and solemn like a god.

Then Tian Xiangguo read out the rules of the competition, and then the contestants took the oath. The oath was majestic and deafening, resounding throughout the arena and making people's hearts surge.

Liu Lu listened to it with enthusiasm. “...... Good sons and daughters should protect their families and defend the country, only when there is a country can they have a home, love the country and then love the family, swear allegiance to the motherland, and protect my Hux!"

Liu Jing looked at the sworn players in the audience with a smile on his face, and many of these people will become the pillars of the country in the future.

After the oath-taking, everyone stood and sang the national anthem.

Finally, Tian Xiangguo announced the end of the opening ceremony and sent the emperor off.

Hearing the announcement of leaving, Liu Lu immediately walked out of the arena.

Liu Jing did not return to the palace by the same route, but returned directly to the palace from the east gate of the martial arts arena.

Liu Lu chased after the trot, and saw Liu Jing's back on a horse surrounded by officers and soldiers from a distance, and he was getting farther and farther.

The back, straight forward, never looked back.

Liu Lu looked at the direction of Liu Jing's departure from afar.

From the moment they left that place, they were heaven and earth. It's better not to see each other again.

Cui'er shouted softly beside her, "Master." ”

Liu Lu didn't hear it.

Cui'er shouted again: "Master." ”

Liu Lu came back to her senses.

Li Chengxian looked at Liu Lu, who looked lonely, and couldn't help asking, "Miss Liu, do you know the emperor?"

Liu Lu did not answer.
