Volume V, Chapter 9: The Horse Candidates
Sitting at the rightmost table, the Xiliang soldier tilted his head and discussed the contest on the side.
This competition does not distinguish between Xiliang people and Tang people, only the level of martial arts, and those who stand on the stage and beat the crowd can marry the county lord Mo Biyun.
When the owner of the teahouse saw Qin Feng and the three of them coming here, his face instantly turned with joy, "The three heroes are from the Tang Dynasty, do you want to drink wine or make tea?"
Qin Feng squinted his eyes and stared at the Xiliang soldiers on the side without saying a word.
"That's it, take three bowls and a bottle of rice wine!" Shang Shuyuan pointed at the boss and said softly.
The boss looked at Qin Feng, who was absent-minded on the side, and roughly knew their intentions, "Okay, you heroes, wait a minute, the little ones will come."
"Master Qin, if my guess is correct, the ring to be built in front of me may be related to Miss Mo Biyun's marriage." Shang Shuyuan squinted his eyes and looked at the Xiliang people at the two tables next to him wearing military uniforms, guessing that these people might be the guards sent by Mokdo here.
"Mo Biyun girl"? Qin Feng was stunned.
"Why, Lord Mo Biyun, you've seen it, yesterday in a thatched hut in the desert!" Shang Shuyuan explained.
"I know, but I don't know why she said I was a money-greedy and womanizer in the first place?" Qin Feng shook his head helplessly.
"Master Qin, in short, let's not be reckless this time, act at the opportunity, Mo Biyun's marriage may give us a chance to meet Mo Keduo, the king of Xiliang!" Shang Shuyuan said softly.
Seeing that the four Xiliang soldiers at the table next to them stood up and were talking about recruiting relatives in the martial arts competition, Qin Feng and the three of them squeezed their eyes and stared at each other.
After a while, Qin Feng's mind flashed, and he suddenly thought of a good way, he gently walked to the Xiliang soldier with rice wine, and asked, "Master Bing, why is there a ring in front of you?"
The soldier carried the rice wine and smiled, "I see that you are from the Tang Dynasty, how can you people in the Tang Dynasty know that this time Mo Biyun, the county lord of Xiliang Kingdom, has three candidates for the horse with excellent martial arts, and they all hope to win the position of the horse, and I don't know who will win the final result"?
Zhengqing got up with a smile and asked, "So in this competition, people who are pro-Tang can also participate?"
The Xiliang soldier nodded and said, "Of course, whether it is a person from the Tang Dynasty or a person from Xiliang, those with excellent martial arts can marry Lord Mo."
As soon as the words fell, six lanterns were placed in front of the ring in the distance, and under the lanterns, an old man who was over the age of sixteen was carrying a small white bucket and shouted:
All the heroes, all the heroes, you are all martial arts masters from all over the world, this time His Royal Highness the King of Xiliang issued a decree to recruit relatives, put in the ring here, no matter who it is, if you can stand on the stage for three days is the proud of the world, who can be elected Xiliang Horse.
Listening to his speech, everyone in the audience came from all around to applaud.
"Is it Gonggong Li? Could it be that something has happened in Suoyang City?" At this time, the Xiliang soldiers in the teahouse waved their hands and asked.
Looking at the cautious expressions of the soldiers and Gonggong Li, Shang Shuyuan guessed that this time it might be that Mo Keduo, the king of Xiliang, was coming to watch the battle in person.
"Master Qin, let's watch the battle here, the matter of Xiliang has nothing to do with us!" Shang Shuyuan lowered his head and whispered.
"Well, okay, let's sit on the floor so as not to arouse suspicion." Qin Feng spread out the cushion and gulped down rice wine.
After noon, there were more and more people watching the battle around the ring, some were to challenge the masters of all walks of life, and some were to seek the name of the first master in Xiliang, of course, more to marry the county lord of Mo Biyun, who was as beautiful as a flower and a treasure in Xiliang.
"If you win the battle, can everyone here really become Xiliang horses?" a burly man shouted.
"Of course"!
The person who spoke was not Gonggong Li standing in front of the ring, but Mo Keduo, the king of Xiliang who came from the direction of Suoyang City, and Mo Keduo sat on the red black eight sedan chairs and walked slowly.
"What this strong man said is extremely true, from now until three days later, if anyone can stand on this ring, this king will crown him as the Xiliang Horse, and this king's words are true!" Mo Keduo raised the banner of Xiliang and shouted.
When the Xiliang soldiers heard this, they raised their spears and cheered loudly.
The atmosphere on the field also became lively in an instant, and at this time, the soldiers present were shouting a person's name "Tie Rudong".
In the minds of the soldiers, Tie Rudong is not only the only son of Prime Minister Tie Kunna, but also the generalissimo of the Western Liang State.
"Look, it's the three young men of the New Tang Dynasty, Liang Tiande, Murong Ruiqi and Tie Rudong are here."
In a roar of celebration, the three of them strode towards the center of the ring, and it was undeniable that these three people were the candidates for the Xiliang Kingdom.
The three of them saw Mokdo and saluted respectfully, the three of them are all responsible for protecting the land in the country, and they are also the more important people of Mokdo.
The people in the audience, whether they are from the Tang Dynasty or Xiliang, are very familiar with the three of them, and when they see these three people in the ring, the rest of them dare not go on stage to fight with them.
Under the ring, Gonggong Li snorted and roared loudly: "Since His Royal Highness the King of Xiliang is here now, this ring competition will officially begin."
Liang Tiande, the White Tiger Guard, and Murong Ruiqi, the Qinglong Guard, were the first to appear, and the two of them were also people who had experienced life and death together on the battlefield with the Northern Desert Army, but when they faced the position of the horse and the belonging of Mo Biyun County Lord, the former emotions had become gone.
The two stood on both sides of the ring, looking at the sweat on their foreheads, and no one dared to slack off in this fight in the ring.
"Master Qin, these two are competing, who do you think has a better chance of winning?" Shang Shuyuan looked at Qin Feng's calm eyes and asked softly.
Qin Feng's eyes widened, "The victory or defeat of these two has nothing to do with me, maybe Tie Rudong is the key person in this competition."
After speaking, he picked up the sword in his hand and drank the rice wine calmly, although the Xianyun Sword was no longer by his side now, but if he wanted to defeat these people in front of him, it must not take much effort.
"The competition recruits relatives, and it officially begins"!
With Gonggong Li yelling again, the two sides were fully prepared and began to move.
Murong Ruiqi roared, raised his sword and ran rampantly, the sword light was sharp, and when he came up, he gave Liang Tiande a dismount, Liang Tiande's hair was mixed, although he dodged this sword, he already felt the pressure in his heart.
"Liang Tiande, you can't stand it with just one blow, how can you compete with me?"
After speaking, Murong Ruiqi swung his sword again to chase after the victory, Liang Tiande saw that the situation was not good, and jumped in the air, and then the swords of the two collided together in the air and flashed an incisive sword aura.
