Chapter IV: Selection of Guards
Eligo won a game, roared, slapped his thick palm on his chest, looked around, and retreated quite smugly. What walked into the field was the fourth of the four guards of the king's tent, He Badu, but with a mace in his hand. And the one who also fought against Hebadu happened to be the Hun man who came with Zhu Huolong. Through Kong Mingli's roll call, Xuan Qi knew that the name of this Xiongnu man was Ashinati.
Ashnati approached the circle with his empty hands, and He Badu was also stunned, and talked with the Huns and Ashinati, and then said no more, and smashed the mace in his hand towards Ashinati. Ashnati moved two steps to the left, but he dodged Hebatus's mace.
Seeing that his stick missed, Hebatus swept the mace in his hand and swept towards Ashnati's chest. Ashnati didn't panic, his internal force was poured into his palms, and a pair of palms that were already a little black turned even blacker. When the mace was almost in front of his chest, Ashnati slapped both palms at the same time, but it was just on the handle of Hebatu's mace. The mace swung away suddenly, but it was Hebaltu who also staggered, and rushed forward two steps before he could stand firmly.
Xuan Qi saw that Ashinati's palms were already as black as ink, and he suddenly remembered that among the masked people who intercepted and killed Mrs. Hua Shiwu, there was one who used poisonous palm kung fu, and it seemed that it should be this Ashinati. At this moment, I heard someone shouting to stop, and everyone followed the reputation, but it was the invincible leader of the four guards who were the referees.
Xuan Qi knows some of the details of this invincible, and it is calculated that this invincible is still a descendant of the famous general of the founding of the Celestial Empire. Just because more than 20 years ago, his father was reported for being greedy for military rations in Mexico, and after being beheaded by Li Rui, this Mo Di left the Celestial Empire and took refuge in Helian Yinshan, the then Xiongnu Zuoxian King, and changed his real name to Mo Di, which means that the world is not my enemy, to express his resentment towards the Celestial Empire.
The two people in the circle heard the cheers and hurriedly stopped, and Mo Di opened his mouth to ask Ashina: "Are you from the Ashina family in the Ural Mountains?"
"Exactly!"
Hearing this answer, the people around them gasped and exclaimed, thinking that this Ashina family must be very famous in the Xiongnu.
"Who are you?"
"It's my father!"
"You can be exempted from the test, go and report to Mr. Kong!"
"Thank you, Mr. Mo!"
Ashnati was exempted from the competition and went to find Kong Mingli, and He Badu, who was standing in the field, did not say anything because of this, and no one raised any questions among the people outside the venue.
And Xuan Qi also had some interest in this Ashina family, but he didn't expect that just by virtue of the name of the family, he could be exempted from the test, it seems that this family is probably also a very terrible family. And the symbol of this family is very likely to be the poisonous palm used by Ashnati just now, which made Mo Di recognize it at a glance. It's no wonder that he can't find anyone who uses this poisonous palm in the Central Plains Martial Arts, and the Ural Mountain is still thousands of miles north of Juyanhai, so it's not surprising that he hasn't heard of it.
The next person to appear was Zhu Huolong, who fought against him but did not change, and he was still standing in the field. Zhu Huolong pulled out a pair of water-splitting Emei thorns inserted in his waist, held them in both hands, and did not speak, and stabbed towards Hebatdu. He Batu didn't expect Zhu Huolong to be so unkind, and immediately grabbed the mace with both hands and greeted Zhu Huolong's water-splitting Emei thorn.
With a ding, Zhu Huolong's right hand had already touched the mace, and he actually blocked the mace, and his left hand followed the stab, forcing He Batu to take two steps back before he stopped. Everyone was quite surprised, you must know that the water Emei thorn is no more than a foot long, and the weight of a single branch is about two catties, which has always been used for close combat. With such a light weapon, it can withstand a mace weighing dozens of pounds, how can it not be surprising? It seems that the internal strength of this fire dragon must be far superior to that of Hebatus.
Sure enough, in the subsequent competition, the water-splitting Emei thorn in Zhu Huolong's hand was faster than one move, forcing the mace in Hebatu's hand to not be able to use it at all, so he could only keep retreating in a circle. After a stick of incense, Hebatus was finally forced to withdraw from the circle and was defeated by Zhu Huolong's men. Zhu Huolong also went to find Kong Mingli to report, and the guards of the king's tent took him down.
Since then, there have been three or four people in a row, all of whom have failed to pass this hurdle. As Kong Mingli called out "Bai Ning" in his mouth, Xuan Qi knew that it was finally his turn. Xuan Qi walked slowly into the entrance, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, but they didn't expect that it was such a handsome and elegant Han man who appeared. Even Helian Yu'er, who was sitting in the gazebo, was beautiful, as if she remembered someone in her heart.
It was Eligo who was competing with Xuanqi, and Iligo saw that Xuanqi in front of him was thin and weak, and he was even more unbearable than the Hun youth he had just defeated, so he immediately looked at Xuanqi with contempt, stretched out a finger and shook it, and said: "Han, you can't do it!
The surrounding royal tent guards suddenly burst into laughter, but Mo Di on the side shouted: "Yi Ligo!" Yi Li Ge was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw Mo Di's fierce eyes, and hurriedly put away his thoughts to ridicule Xuan Qi. The smiling guards of the royal tent also immediately shut up, remembering that their boss Mo Di was also an authentic Han Chinese.
"Okay, you have to try it to know!" Xuan Qi was not angry, and said slowly. As soon as the words fell, Helian Yu'er in the pavilion was shocked, and her eyes looked at Xuan Qi with some distraction, until the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy next to her noticed something strange and pulled Helian Yu'er's sleeve, and Helian Yu'er woke up.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" This young man is Helian Yuer's son Helian Nian, seeing that he is currently looking at the field in a daze, he asked again.
"Oh, it's nothing!
"Nian'er will go back to rest with her mother?"
"No need, it's out of the way! Let's continue to watch the competition! Doesn't Nian'er like to watch people compete the most?"
"Okay, mother!" Helian Nian heard Helian Yu'er say this, and his face was not abnormal, and he immediately sat upright again, looking at the field intently.
And Helian Yu'er also blushed a little for Fang Cai's gaffe, and couldn't help but recall the night that often appeared in dreams, the handsome face, the charming voice, the night when pain and happiness were mixed. And the Han man in front of him was vaguely similar to that man, and his voice was only slightly hoarse. For a moment, Helian Yu'er thought that she had seen the man she loved and hated again, the man who killed her father. It's just that the whole face of the person in front of him is not the same as the man in the dream.
