Chapter 35: The Power of the Mo Mansion
Today is a good day to hold a grand contest in the city of Mexico.
After Lin Yu and Wu Qian, they finished breakfast early, and walked through the streets and alleys all the way with great interest, from the shop in the southwest of Mocheng to the venue of the martial arts competition held in Mofu, the surroundings were already crowded with people.
Luckily they arrived early, otherwise they wouldn't have even had a place to watch closer.
This can also reflect the influence of Mocheng Mofu in the entire Qin State from the side, or it can reflect the influence of Mo Shu in the entire Qin State.
Mo Shu is one of the founders of the entire Qin State, the greatest contributor to half of the Qin State, and at the same time the emperor's uncle, whose influence in the entire Qin State can be seen.
When he issued an announcement to the entire Qin State to recruit relatives in a martial arts competition, the entire Qin State was boiling, like a pot of boiling boiling water, which shook the imperial dynasty far away in the center of the Qin State by a few points.
No one knows what medicine he sells in his gourd or what kind of name he is fighting.
But one thing that the entire Qin State knows is that if they can win this competition, they will be able to climb the thickest thighs of the Qin State, and from then on, they will rise to the clouds.
It was the people of the entire Qin State, from the prime minister to the common people, who had a trace of martial arts in their bodies, all of them were scrambling to rush to Mocheng.
As a result, the entire city of Meo was already overcrowded and approaching saturation three days ago.
The Mo Mansion had to urgently dispatch troops and station them at the four city gates, strictly prohibiting idle people from other than the official eunuchs from entering the city.
The so-called idle people outside the official eunuchs here naturally refer to those ordinary people from outside.
As soon as this ban in the Mocan Mansion came out, it directly led to the dissatisfaction of the large number of ordinary people who wanted to enter the city.
Therefore, in the past few days, there have been several incidents of foreign civilians gathering to make trouble outside the city of Mexi, but all of them have been suppressed by the iron army stationed at the city gate.
The people who entered Meaux a few days ago were naturally secretly glad in their hearts, otherwise they would have been suppressed like the ordinary people outside the city who were restricted from entering Meoc.
Although Mo Cheng had already issued a restriction order to enter the city three days ago, Lin Yu and Wu Qian were still shocked when they looked at the crowd behind them.
As far as the eye can see, fifty or sixty meters, a hundred meters, except for people or people, all the people who stop to look at the sea of people.
The number of people gathered in the square here alone is probably no less than 30,000 or 50,000 people, not to mention the crowded crowds in the streets and alleys farther away, and the people watching from the rooftops of the buildings.
"Hey, idiot, it's the first time I've seen so many people gathered in one place. ”
Wu Qian's eyes were full of excitement and looked around.
"It's the first time I've seen such a grand occasion. ”
Lin Yu's face was a little surprised.
Their voices were not loud, and the noise of the bustling crowd around them easily drowned out the sound of their conversations.
When it was already time, the closed door of the Mo Mansion finally opened.
Mo Shu and a young man wearing a white crown and silk satin carved dragons and phoenixes led the officials and elders to take the lead in walking out.
Beside him, there was also Mo Qingyang, who had bright eyes and bright teeth and a well-dressed dress, accompanied him.
In the end, with great anticipation, a figure followed by a ring finally walked out.
I saw that this girl was wearing pink and white clothes, red eyebrows and apricot eyes, red lips like fire, long black satin-like hair fell on the pink and white gauze clothes, and her posture was graceful, and she was as beautiful as a flower waiting to bud.
As soon as today's protagonist came out, everyone present took their breath away, and then burst into deafening cheers.
Everyone knows that this girl is Mo Ruolan, the daughter of Mo Shu, the city lord of Mo City, who is only eighteen years old, and she is so slim when she lands.
All of a sudden, everyone was eager to try, and the enthusiasm for the competition was even higher.
Wu Qian, who was in the audience, was also stunned when she saw Lin Yu, and pushed Lin Yu with her elbow, her face was a little unhappy, and said, "What's the matter, idiot, are you also interested in the daughter of the city lord of Mo City?" ”
Lin Yu looked embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Yes...... Yes? I was just in a daze. ”
He didn't realize that the expression on his face was so unnatural when he said this.
"Hmph, you men, you are all virtuous. ”
Wu Qian glanced at Lin Yu, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and her heart was full of the smell of vinegar jars overturned.
looked at Mo Ruolan, who had already walked to the middle of the eight rings and was sitting on the guest seat.
Looking at Mo Ruolan's moving and elegant movements, she had to admit in her heart that Mo Ruolan was really good-looking.
Wu Qian muttered in her heart: "Could it be that her father is stupid? Such a delicate and beautiful daughter is still worried that she can't get married? ”
It has to be said that when men and women look at the same thing or the same thing, they show different ideas.
When Wu Qian looked at Mo Ruolan again, Lin Yu was also watching at this time, but there was a strange look on his face.
Just now, when Mo Ruolan came out, Lin Yu inexplicably felt that the primordial power that was standing quietly on the Danhu Lake in his body throbbed violently, and that feeling was like longing for something.
But this feeling came and went quickly, and when Lin Yu reacted, no matter how he observed the primordial power in his body, he didn't react, as if it was just a momentary conjecture of one of his own thoughts.
"Was it just your own delusion?"
Lin Yu thought to himself.
......
Between the eight rings, the empty seats on the guest seats were already full.
In the middle sat Mo Shu, the lord of Mo, and the young man with a white crown.
The young man is full of heavenly court, his facial features are firm, his edges and corners are clear, and he talks and laughs with Mo Shu, the lord of Mo City, and has the royal demeanor of a dragon among people, and at this time, he is sitting next to Mo Shu, obviously the current prince of the Qin State, Qin Zheng.
Next to the two of them, sat Wang Yue, the supervising envoy, Li Fugui, a wealthy merchant of the Qin State, and Zheng Yuan, the resident elder of Mocheng.
And Mo Qingyang, Zheng Yifan, Li Wen, Lu Xiaoran and other younger generations all sat behind Mo Shu with Mo Ruolan as the center.
After the seat settled down, an old man dressed as a five-star elder in the Mocheng Mansion on the high platform walked in front of everyone with a piece of rice paper in his hand.
He raised his hand to everyone, and the loud voices of the black and oppressive people in the audience suddenly became quieter.
Looking at the crowd of people in the audience, the old man seemed to enjoy the feeling of being condescending and in the spotlight.
"Ahem. ”
The old man symbolically cleared his voice, like the leader of an important meeting, and his withered hands slowly opened the rice paper in his hand and began to read the contents of the paper to everyone.
Everyone could only hear that the old man was full of energy, and his loud and calm voice spread throughout the audience.
Separated from the eight rings and the masses of the people, among the thousands of players waiting to play in the guardrail, many outsiders were in their hearts, and they didn't think that this old man who read out the content was also a master.
Only some local players scoffed at the loneliness of the foreign players, laughing at them for not knowing the meaning of the old man on the stage and the five-star Suishi in the robe behind him.
"Everyone, the old man's surname is Cao Mingyan, and he is a five-star elder in the Mo Mansion.
It is a great honor for all the heroes and heroes from the Qin State to come over to participate in the matchmaking conference held in Meaux. ”
The old man's eyes swept over the people and contestants in the audience, and his voice began to be a little excited.
"The old man knows why you came here to compete, and he knows what your purpose is.
But in the end, there is only one winner, and I can only say that if you don't choose to give it your all, the opportunity to reach the sky will slip out of your hands.
I think all of you here are smart people, and you know what I'm talking about and what I mean."
Cao Yan's words paused for a moment, and his elderly eyes looked at the players under the stage, all of them were eager to try, and an intriguing smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
"There are not many opening remarks, and there is no point in saying some nonsense to delay everyone's precious time, so the old man will introduce the rules of this competition to recruit relatives. ”
For a game, the important thing is the rules of the game, and when Elder Cao Yan of Mofu on the stage was about to explain the rules of the game in detail, everyone in the audience listened attentively.
Between the eight rings and the people, the thousands of contestants surrounded by guardrails were even more eager to stretch their heads, for fear of missing something important.
"In this matchmaking competition, all players who sign up for the competition are not allowed to withdraw from the competition, not to abstain from fighting, and not to die.
If there is a withdrawal in the middle of the game, those who abstain from fighting in the ring and cause death will be dealt with according to the Supreme Criminal Law of the Qin State. ”
Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, isn't this obviously not a forced game? Actually can't abstain from fighting, does that mean that the two sides are fighting, and when the victory or defeat has been decided, one side must be injured and defeated?
Regarding this competition system, everyone in the audience talked about it for a while, and even Qin Zheng, the crown prince of Qin State, who was sitting on the guest stage, frowned slightly, but did not say anything.
Seeing that the audience was noisy, Elder Cao Yan snorted coldly, raised his hand, and a stream of spiritual pressure emanated from the sea of qi, indiscriminately pressing the audience.
Everyone only felt a gravitational force pressing on their bodies, and they all suffocated their chests, and they were busy with each other.
Wu Qian's side is okay, Lin Yu suddenly felt that the spiritual power in Cao Yan's body on the high platform was running, and when he raised his hand to put pressure on everyone, he had already used his spiritual power to protect Wu Qian.
It's just that most of the ordinary people present are not so well, and they all suddenly feel nausea in their chests.
The audience instantly became silent, and everyone was panicked, not daring to have any objections.
Lin Yujian raised his eyebrows and looked at Cao Yan, how dare the Nuoda Mo Mansion act like this time, aren't you afraid of falling into the hearts of the people?
Regarding Elder Cao Yan's excessive behavior in the ring, Mo Shu not only did not stop it, but comfortably picked up the cup next to the tea table and took a sip of tea, as if he acquiesced.
Cao Yan on the high platform saw that everyone was quiet, and said to everyone.
"If you have any objections to the rules of the game set by Mofu, you can abstain before the game starts, and those of you present can abstain now?"
Cao Yan's curtained eyes suddenly refracted the essence of light, and quickly swept over the many players in the contestant area under the stage one by one.
Only a few players in the crowd dared to look at Cao Yan, and more were swept by Cao Yan's threatening eyes, and they all lowered their heads in silence.
The thousands of players present were silent.
Silence naturally represents acquiescence and acquiescence to the rule.
After Elder Cao Yan confirmed that there was no more criticism, the sharp eyes from before returned to the appearance of an old dragon bell, but his voice rose a few decibels in vain.
"Since there are no abstentions before the start of the competition, I now announce that today's matchmaking meeting has officially begun!"
