A burst of heavy rain washed the flower capital city clean, the blue sky hung high with rainbows, the sunny day shone on the earth, the flowers and trees stood upright, the flowers were brilliant and rotten, the flowers were clear and fragrant, the flowers were festive and festive, the people were smiling, and they were so lively that they talked about Cheng Laojin holding a martial arts competition to welcome relatives, looking forward to the daughter Miss Cheng Xi can look forward to the wishful Langjun.

Cheng Laojin is the trustee of Huadu City, and also the object of respect and love in the hearts of the people, because Cheng Laojin treats the people as relatives, uses foreign trade business to earn gold and silver to develop the tourism industry of Huadu City, and constantly builds scenic spots to hold activities to attract tourists, revitalize the economy, and improve people's lives.

Nowadays, the competition to welcome relatives is to open the bridge gate of Chengjia Manor, provide fruit and dessert entertainment, so that people and tourists can enjoy the scenery and play, provide free venues, and let businessmen set up stalls in the pavilion to make profits.

A steady stream of people from all over the world come, regardless of their status, they are all friends, some friends come to see the excitement, some friends come to send congratulatory gifts, and some friends come to win the competition......

In short, with the loud sound of cannons, the competition in the Cheng family manor in Huadu City was grandly held.

Cheng Laojin and his wife sat in the chairman's position, and the two discussed Cheng Xi's marriage in the future, expecting that the winner of the competition would be an honest and responsible man, who could accompany Cheng Xi to live happily, and also lamented that he was inadvertently getting old, and his children were still not sensible enough.

On the right side of the chairman is Cheng's cronies, Cheng Xi is dressed gorgeously, her face is ruddy, very beautiful and moving, her upright sitting posture is motionless and shy, and she is worried about Zhang Zongle's parting words - I will definitely win the competition, marry you openly, watch the sunrise and sunset together, and stay together until old age.

Cheng Yi used sugar gourds to perfunctory young children, and did not pay attention to his wife's chattering and nagging, he was worried about whether Wuming could cope with it, worried about whether he could stabilize the position of the heir to the manor, as for Fengxian of the Military Aircraft Department, he had arranged for his father-in-law to secretly monitor.

Cheng Ming is lazy by habit, looking indifferent, eating grapes in his mouth, and humming a little song from time to time, he is thinking about Cheng Feng's behavior, thinking about whether he can regain the dominance of the manor, as for the guards of the ancestral temple, they have arranged personnel to pay attention to it secretly.

Cheng Xiao took the initiative to talk enthusiastically with his cronies, and deliberately currying favor was nothing more than to win over the relationship, and the strong greedy desire continued to erode his heart, causing him to fall into madness and try to assassinate Cheng Laojin.

Cheng Feng pretended to be calm and explained the task to Song Fu, and deliberately added guards to guard the gate of the ancestral temple, but the inexplicable uneasiness kept disturbing his mind, making him nervous, and trying his best to control the situation and stabilize it.

To the left of the chairman is the high-ranking official Jia Shang, Qin Hui is wearing simple clothes, his face is vicissitudes, very haggard and tired, his upright sitting posture is motionless and looks sad, and he remembers Cheng Xiao's parting words in his heart - I will definitely become the trustee of Huadu City, and whoever I want to die when the time comes, whoever I want to die, will have to die.

Leopard Shenzi's expression was serious and did not reveal the slightest emotion, he walked back and forth with a bullet stick in his hand, his sharp eyes staring at every face around him, and the killing came from the two stacks of silver tickets on his waist.

The people on the rostrum and on the left and right sides have their own positions and ideas, and they are waiting for the competition to begin.

——

Outside the high platform, Wei Jing and Wei Bin disguised as traders mixed into the manor, Wei Jing was familiar with the terrain of the manor, she took Wei Bin to take a shortcut to the vicinity of the ancestral temple, and said uneasily: "I think the plan is too hasty and absurd, I don't want my brother to risk it for them (Nameless and Zhang Zongle), what if it fails?"

Wei Bin firmly believed in his heart, that his companions must not give up easily, and he could not break his promise, he said that Nameless would lead away the guards, and he could take the opportunity to sneak into the ancestral temple to save people.

"Ah~ Do you mean that you have an upset stomach and want to find a thatched house?" Wei Jing's comprehension ability was extremely poor, and Wei Bin pushed her away while smiling.

The brother and sister are separated, Wei Bin holds a bullet stick in his hand, hides in the grass and waits for an opportunity, what the result will be, it is not yet known.

——

The audience on the high platform cheered and cheered happily, there was a dragon dance and lion fighting performance on the martial platform, the circular high platform surrounded the founder Wutai, the martial platform was composed of stones, and a gong was placed on one side, and various weapons and blades were placed on the other.

Ba Tianxiang is responsible for arranging the appearance of the martial artists, and the internal competition in advance, has screened out sixteen elite martial artists, including Nameless and Zhang Zongle, the two of them are covered by Cheng Yi's connections, and they also conceal their identities to participate, it will be the knockout round of sixteen into eight, Zhang Zongle is the first time to appear, and the hands facing him are none other than the chief of the guard.

"That Zorly is very good at grappling, you have to be on guard to avoid defeat. Nameless dodged left and right while prompting, for fear that Ba Tianxiang would find out, Zhang Zongle felt that it was a shame to lose to Zolly, and said disdainfully: "You just take a good look, how do I teach the twist dog!"

The dragon and lion program kicked off the competition, and the host looked familiar, and he was particularly verbose, first introducing Cheng Laojin, the owner of the Cheng family manor, and his family cronies, and then to the guests...... Then mentioned the rules of the game: the first point is not to deliberately kill, the second point is not to use poison, the third point is not to fall out of the martial arts, the winner needs to meet the above three points, the loser can admit defeat, if the game lasts for half an hour without stopping, the result is determined by Cheng Laojin.

"Today is a good day, the flowers are a good city, Cheng Xi is a good girl, she is not only beautiful and smart as the daughter of the Cheng family, but also virtuous and virtuous, so that all the children are admired, and now the old man chooses Ruyi Langjun for Miss, and the winner of the competition has the opportunity to marry Miss and enter the Cheng family to achieve beautiful things!"

The host was still not finished, Ba Tianxiang waited impatiently, and directly let Zoli and Zhang Zongle come to the stage, when he saw Zhang Zongle, he was stunned for a long time, thinking - how can this gardener pass the screening to enter the top 16?

Zo Li and Zhang Zongle walked up to the martial arts platform, interrupted the host's words, and hurriedly said: "This is the young and promising escort captain Zo Li! His opponent will be ......."

"I am the Northern Han swordsman - Zhang Zongle!" Zhang Zongle saw that the host forgot his words, so he did not hide his identity and introduced himself loudly, and the four words of the Northern Han swordsman caused a warm welcome from the audience to welcome this neighboring warrior.

In the rostrum, Cheng Xi saw his lover Zhang Zongle appear majestically, and instantly laughed, and said softly: "Brother Le, you must win, Xi'er just wants to marry you and stay with you until you grow old." ”

In addition, Cheng Xiao was obviously unhappy, and stood up angrily to protest to Cheng Laojin: "Dad, he is from the Northern Han Dynasty and can't participate in the competition, please uphold justice!" Cheng Yi felt ridiculous, and happily stood up and explained to Cheng Laojin: "Dad, he is indeed a Northern Han person, but the contestants are all from all over the world, and there is no fixed Northern Han people who are not allowed to participate!"

Cheng Laojin is not taboo against the people of the Northern Han Dynasty, the silk business he operates is sold to all countries, regardless of region, regardless of race, and emphasizes mutual respect and mutual complementation, if there are Northern Han people become sons-in-law, it is also a good thing, so he pointed at Cheng Xiao in public and insulted Cheng Xiao as a frog at the bottom of the well who did not want to make progress.

Cheng Xiao saw Cheng Yi smiling proudly, but he hated Cheng Laojin for being biased and protective, which aggravated the strong murderous intent.

——

The gong sounded, the game began, the two sides clasped their fists and bowed, each choosing a weapon but choosing the same sword, Zolly smiled and said: "I heard that you are an excellent gardener in the manor, and the gardener should take a sickle, not worthy of a sword, so as not to be ugly, strange and ugly?"

Zhang Zongle was not to be outdone, and the dantian gathered strength, so that the arm had a strong internal force, and he held the hilt of the sword firmly.

"You just have this little strength, haven't you eaten?" Zhang Zongle waved his sword proudly, and Zoli gasped angrily: "Since you humiliated me, I will teach you a hard lesson!"

After staring at each other for a moment, Zoli couldn't swallow the evil breath and took the initiative to attack, the sword blade waved back and forth in front of Zhang Zongle, but it couldn't hurt him by half a point, but Zhang Zongle shouted loudly to the rostrum: "What kind of escort captain, I think it's just a miscellaneous boy, so weak that he can't do it!"

Cheng Feng is a swordsman, he sensed that Zhang Zongle was not a simple person, so he ordered Song Fu to secretly investigate his identity, and then Zhang Zongle wantonly mocked the escorts, which undoubtedly embarrassed Cheng Feng, and he made his eyes suggest that Zoli took advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack and solve the battle quickly.

Zo Li understood, he took advantage of Zhang Zongle's shouting, he had quietly moved behind him, and cut down with lightning speed, only to see Zhang Zongle with his back to Zo Li, bending his arm and backhand to block the sneak attack with his sword, the strange technique made the audience cheer, Lian Ba Tianxiang was so frightened that he couldn't stand steadily, and said in his mouth: "How can this gardener do it?"

Zuo used his sword to press down, but Zhang Zongle's back to him still didn't move, until after a "hum", Zhang Zongle turned around with the sword power, and waved two sword moves at will, which made Zuoli panic and sweat.

Obviously, Zhang Zongle's swordsmanship completely crushed Zoli, his sword moves were unique and unpredictable, and the sword style was played with the mood, deliberately not slashing Zoli, and slapped Zoli with the sword body, the more he hit, the more energetic he became, like an adult teaching a naughty child.

"Let you be proud, let you bully nameless!"

Zhang Zongle's posture is rhythmic, and he will slap Zoley's face with a sword for a while, when Zoli is slow to raise his sword, he dodges and pats Zoley's waist with a sword, when Zoli swings his sword slowly, he steps back and then slaps Zoley's hand with a sword, when Zoli retracts the sword in pain, he chases and pats Zoli's neck, and the red blood stains are obvious, which makes the audience on the high platform dumbfounded, thinking - the two are not competing at all, it is completely one person chasing the other person and beating him.

"Twist dog, don't you still admit defeat?" Zhang Zongle fought easily, Zoli was beaten and gasped, and delayed: "May I ask what swordsmanship you use?"

"The sword goes with your heart...... Zhang Zongle told the secret, Zoli had no intention of comprehending it, he pointed behind him slyly, distracted Zhang Zongle's attention, and took the opportunity to sneak attack again.

Zhang Zongle is a Jinyi guard of the Northern Han Dynasty, he has performed countless dangerous missions in the past ten years, and he is used to many cunning techniques, he pretended to like it, secretly threw the sword into the air, turned around perfectly, and performed the stunt of receiving the white blade empty-handed, and used the internal force to break Zolly's sword, Zolly was surprised: "Where is your sword?"

At this moment, a sword flew down from the air, slashing Zorley's arm.

Nameless could see clearly in the audience, this move used to be in the teahouse, Zhang Zongle used a stool to make a feint, and then dropped a sword in the air to hurt people, so he couldn't help but shout with joy: "Brother Le, your swordsmanship is really flexible!"
