361 Color Ink Might
The third princess stood on the stone steps outside the door from a distance, and when she saw Su Mu and Caimo walking all the way talking and laughing, a smile appeared on her face.
The two of them called out at the same time: "Third sister." β
Caimo said again: "Third sister, the three of us are going to reach a unified alliance now, and persuade my father to let me go out in three days." β
The third princess was stunned for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Ninth sister, why doesn't my father let you go out?"
Caimo was speechless, pouting and lowering his head, the aggrieved could no longer be aggrieved.
"Father is all for your good, obedient, and will let you out in the future. β
Caimo clasped his hands, twisted left and right, and walked into the restaurant angrily.
The third princess wrapped her arms around Su Mu and said to him with a smile, "Go in, seventh brother." β
Su Mu was hugged by the third princess with a steady and elegant appearance, and immediately felt a sense of grandeur, and couldn't help but straighten her back.
During the banquet, due to their own concerns, the scene fell silent for a while. Caimo kept giving Su Mu a look, and Su Mu coughed dryly to attract everyone's attention, "Father, I want to ...... the game in three days' time." Can you take the ninth sister to see it?"
Long Ka remained silent, and said while eating: "You must go, Caimo can't go." β
Caimo looked at Long Ka coquettishly, and said in a sticky voice: "Why? Other sisters can go out, but I can't." β
Longka dropped his chopsticks, "You just can't go, my father is for your good." β
Caimo didn't even eat, and expressed his dissatisfaction with his actions. "I want to go, my sisters and sisters can go out, why just pick me up and bully? Even if I'm beautiful, it won't cause a sensation on the street last time, right?"
Long Ka smiled and looked at the third princess: "Our Xiao Jiu is quite confident. Causing a sensation? β
The third princess held Caimo in her arms: "The ninth sister is obedient." The third sister came back to bring you good things. β
"I don't want to. β
Caimo kicked Su Mu under the table. Look at him expectantly.
Su Mu immediately spoke: "There shouldn't be any surprises if you can let the ninth sister dress up as a boy." β
Long Ka also lost interest in eating, and sighed: "Old Seven, you can't understand your father's distress now, right?"
This slightly reproachful sentence made Su Mu obediently shut his mouth, after all, he was a newcomer and didn't know much about their family affairs, so as not to talk too much and be bored.
"Alright, you guys eat some more. Father has a lot of things to do, so you can come back in the evening......" Ryuka smiled mysteriously, "I have something good for you to eat." β
"Father......" The third princess kept him, "The ninth sister is lively by nature, but she has stayed in the palace for more than ten years and cannot go beyond a step, thinking that it is indeed cruel, why don't you just promise her to go out and play for a few days? I will arrange for the guards to take care of her." β
Long Ka's figure gradually slowed down, hesitated for a moment, and groaned in his heart: "More than ten years have passed. Those people shouldn't recognize Colored Ink, right?" "Alright, send more Night Charm Warriors to follow her. Color ink. Follow your seventh brother, and you must not leave half a step. β
Hearing his father's answer, Caimo had already jumped up with joy: "My father is too great." β
Colorful City, a city with a history of more than 700 years, has been selected as the capital of the empire for 300 years, its transportation hub is not developed, and even a little remote, but it has always been valued by many strategists because of its ease of defense and difficult to attack.
In the southern suburbs of Colorful City, a vast barren land, a huge ring composed of boulders was built in three days, around the huge ring, densely covered with dozens of small rings, said to be small is just the result of comparison, these small rings with a diameter of ten zhang away are actually not small, but compared with the central ring, it is like a sesame watermelon.
On the other side of the ring group, hundreds of simple but magnificent tents were also set up early for the players and spectators to rest.
The propaganda methods of the Xisi Empire are absolutely fast and effective, and in just one day, the large and small towns across the country have received the message of the master selection competition, and the announcement clearly states that if it is a distant place, let some preparations delay the trip, you can postpone it for some time and then sign up, after all, the competition adopts a round-robin system, and it is natural to join halfway.
As the competition approaches, the small vendors in the city have also settled here, eating, playing and wearing everything, as if it has become a large and complex commercial street.
Today is the opening day of the trials, and there are propaganda teams of the royal organization in the streets and alleys shouting the slogan of "showing off their might, winning glory for the country", and finally gather in the competition field.
Today is also the day when Caimo left the palace for the first time in more than ten years, on this day, there is no happier person in the world than her, like a happy bird, look here and there, touch this and touch that. Touching part of the body is naturally not human, she is happy but not lacking in heart, most of those folk gadgets are something she has never seen, plus the lifting of the ban over the years, she has become the busiest person on the street for a while, and when she sees something she likes, she pays for it, and Su Mu is carrying a lot of things in the back and shouting to stop it.
"Look at how tired I am, you still buy it? I don't have a car or a horse, can I take so much? Don't buy it, okay?" Su Mu's last sentence was simply begging.
Caimo took a bag of sugar and oil fruits, ate them with relish, and from time to time held his fingers and sucked the sweet juice on it, ignoring Su Mu's pitiful appearance at all, and looked around and said, "What if people come out for the first time, what if they don't have a chance to buy it in the future?"
Su Mu was sweating profusely, and turned around to look around: "Didn't the third sister say that she would send someone to follow us? β
Caimo said with interest, his eyes lit up: "Why don't we buy a horse?" Let's ride around the city, it's not tiring and fun." β
"Good. Su Mu wished that the things in his hands could disappear and replace his current status as an animal.
"You go and ask someone where they sell their horses?" said to him.
Su Mu originally thought it was a matter of duty, but she just couldn't stand her attitude, she felt that she should do everything, and she didn't have the slightest sense of gratitude, so she said back: "Why don't you go?"
"I'm dressed as a man now, and I'm definitely going to be a goofy when I talk to others. β
Under such a reasonable reason, Su Mu had no choice but to comply. Stopped a pedestrian: "Auntie." Hello. Is there a horse seller around here?"
The lady who was called Aunt looked at him strangely and quipped, "Ouch, I don't have a son as rich as you." As he walked, he looked back at Su Mu and smiled.
Caimo giggled on the side: "You should call her sister." β
Su Mu was bored after eating, and stopped a man of the same age as himself: "Is there a horse market nearby?"
The man was very enthusiastic and said loudly: "There is a family at the foot of the mountain in the west of the city, which is the closest to here, only a few dozen miles." β
Su Muting's legs were weak. The dream of riding around the city on horseback is a no-brainer.
What made Su Mu even more speechless was that no matter where they came, no matter how busy the street was, as long as they appeared, they would immediately become the focus, both men and women would take a look, some even looked twice, and some girls even looked back three times.
Naturally, they were not sympathetic to Su Mu, who was tired and complaining, but were amazed that there was such a handsome man in the world, and of course, they were not amazed that Su Mu was just okay. It's the little face that is full of excited colored ink.
At first, the color ink will return the gift with a smile. Gradually, I got used to it, so I just ignored it and had fun by myself.
"Can you keep a low profile?" Su Mu looked at the colored ink beside him and said, "What did you say before you came out?"
Caimo smiled sweetly, took out a fruit and put it in his mouth, "Don't think I'm too talkative." You're going to talk like a woman today. β
At this moment, no matter how sweet the fruit is, it has lost its interest in Su Mu's mouth, just as he was thinking about another rhetoric to persuade Caimo, he only heard Caimo say: "Let's go to the west of the city to buy a horse, I have never ridden a fast horse, and riding a horse in the palace is led by others, which is slower than walking." β
Su Mu's patience reached the limit, and in the face of the frenzied purchase of colored ink that enslaved him, his temper attacked, and he threw the food and clothes in his hands, the porcelain and wooden crafts hanging on his waist, and the small toys on his shoulders to the ground, and left without looking back.
Caimo hurriedly picked up a few things to eat and chased after Su Mu: "Wait for me, when I go back, I will definitely tell Third Sister SΓΉ how you bullied me." β
"Childe, do you want me to help?" asked a girl dressed in black.
Caimo was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay, catch him." β
The girl in black stepped out with an arrow step, and in the blink of an eye, Su Mu, who was a few feet away, was pressed to the ground, and raised her fist to hit her, Caimo shouted: "Stop!" ran and pushed her away, "What are you doing?" He's my brother, who told you to hit him?"
The girl in black was stunned and said, "I thought he was bullying you, and I was anxious ......for a while."
Caimo glared at her: "What does it matter to you that he bullied me?" β
"I don't allow anyone to bully you. The tone of the girl in black was very serious, which made Caimo curious: "Do you know me?" and then suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, you were sent by your father, right?" and then wondered: "I have seen all the night ghost warriors in the palace, why don't I know you?"
Seeing that Caimo didn't know this girl who took the initiative to show her goodwill, Su Mu had a trace of vigilance, and pulled Caimo to stride forward, "Get out of here quickly, this person is too suspicious." β
They walked quickly, the girl also increased her speed, they slowed down, the girl slowed down leisurely, turned corners a few times, they came to the south city gate, the girl still followed unhurriedly, Su Mu turned around and walked over: "What do you mean?"
The girl pointed to the colored ink: "He, your brother, I like him." β
Caimo looked at Su Mu with a smile and a smile: "It's all your fault, you made me a man and a woman, and you're in trouble now, right?" β
Su Mu also smiled, and shook his head quite outrageously: "Girl, you misunderstood, she is my sister and daughter, I'm afraid you ......"
To their surprise, the girl didn't care, and looked at Caimo stupidly: "So what's the matter? I just like her." β
Su Mu was stunned, and laughed secretly in his heart, this girl eats both men and women.
"I can't marry you, don't like me. Caimo persuaded her and pushed Su Mu beside her: "You like my brother, he is so jade and in the wind, you are also slim, what a match." β
The girl didn't look at Su Mu at all, only stared at Caimo: "I didn't say that you would marry me, I just want to be satisfied with guarding you by your side." β
Caimo tilted his chin: "Are you very powerful?"
"It's enough to protect you. β
Caimo thought of the tryouts in her heart, and she knew that this competition was of great significance to the empire. One more expert will only benefit from it. "Then you go to the No. 1 Master Tryout. If you get a good position, I'll protect you. β
"Good. The girl nodded slightly. "I'll go now, tell me your name, and I'll go to you when I get the first. β
This time, even Caimo felt that she was too arrogant, and said with a smile: "Okay, tell me your name first, we will definitely meet if you take the first." β
"My name is Full Moon. β
"My name is Caimo. β
"I'm leaving, I'll show you the first. β
Caimo waved his hand: "I wish you success." β
"I have discovered a new merit for you. β
Caimo's eyes lit up, and a beautiful face approached him: "Tell me quickly." β
Su Mu pulled her south. Said: "When the fall of the Xisi Kingdom is imminent, marry you, and the other party may gladly withdraw the troops, isn't it just for the status and women that men are fighting for? β
Caimo pinched him hard: "Except for the latter sentence, the front is a crow's mouth." β
When they arrived at the arena, there was still half an hour before the curtain was left, and Longka did not come, and he handed over the first ceremony of the opening ceremony to the third princess.
Below the big ring, densely packed with people, at a glance. Everywhere the vision can be reached, there are people who are eagerly waiting for the biggest event in the country in recent years.
The third princess is arranging the order of the game with many Night Phantom warriors in the tent. Seeing the Su Mu brothers and sisters coming in, they beckoned to him: "Seventh brother, I will go on stage with me later, we have a rough investigation, your reputation is very high, the people want to see you, and your appearance wants to have a great auxiliary effect on the theme of the competition." β
Su Mu thought that he would not have stage fright anywhere, "Okay, if I can do my best for the game, I didn't come in vain." β
The third princess talked with the samurai for a while and ordered them to go out.
"Okay, let's go too, Caimo stays here, don't walk around. β
"I want to go up too. β
The third princess looked at her sternly.
Caimo compromised: "Okay, I'll wait for you." β
Followed by the ten Night Charm warriors, the third princess took Su Mu's arm and walked into the ring, and a glowing sound stone slowly floated and stopped in front of the third princess. Before she could speak, someone shouted excitedly: "The one in white is the Seventh Prince, it's the Seventh Prince!"
The crowd of spectators below immediately burst into a commotion, buzzing and noisy, shouting like a wave, and the voices gradually became orderly and regular, only to hear them repeat and shout three words: "Seven Princes! Seven Princes......
The momentum is majestic, like a surging wave, without the slightest sign of weakness, and the momentum of not shouting and not stopping.
The vast majority of people didn't see the Seven Princes clearly, but it was enough for them to know that there were Seven Princes standing on the stage.
Some people waved their fists, showing a wild attitude, with a crazy look on their faces, which drove the imitation of everyone behind them.
For the first time, Su Mu had a serious attitude towards his identity, the prestige of the Seventh Prince was so high, and the expectations of the people were so strong, how could he be embarrassed to let it fall when he came to himself? He had secretly sworn in his heart that he must surpass the Seventh Prince, and if he truly accepted the admiration of everyone in the future, he would not be as weak as he is now.
The country of Sisi is now in crisis, and the people are too eager for the appearance of heroes.
The third princess was always very calm, and said calmly to the sound stone: "The spiritual power of the seventh prince is gradually recovering, and it will soon be able to equal the previous strength. The purpose of this competition is not to brutally vent anger and kill, but to select a real strong man to defend the prosperity of our Xisi Empire, are you willing to prove yourself for this?"
In the sea of people, the Night Charm Warrior, who had already been installed, took the lead in shouting with a loud voice: "Willing to die for the Xith Empire!"
Ordinary people follow a lot of sex, people who are not strong in mind will always be lightly affected, and paying for their own country is also in line with people's patriotic psychology, no one does not want others to think that they are not patriotic, and they are not even allowed to suspect that they are not patriotic, only to hear the earth-shattering shouts in the crowd rush out: "Willing to die for the Xith Empire!"
The rhetoric endures.
The third princess returned to the tent with Su Mu, who was still in shock and dazed, the scene just now was too shocking, and Caimo was also a little shocked. Keep patting his chest. "It's crazy. Brother Seven, I really didn't expect you to be so popular outside, and the noise made me almost deaf. β
"I didn't expect it. After saying this, Li Yichen sat aside and fell silent, falling into deep thought.
The competition began under high-intensity management, and dozens of sub-rings were carried out in an orderly manner.
Half of these people who came to participate in the competition came from the domestic mercenary group, in the Night Charm Continent, except for the royal family. The most powerful is the mercenary group of the civil organization, among which there are many masters, chivalrous, and killers...... One of the main ways for the Night Charm Continent to prove its strength is to join the mercenary group and participate in the mercenary group holy war held every five years to compete for real warriors, and the leader of the mercenary group who won the first place is the most powerful person in addition to the Emperor Continent. Those who have risen to prominence in the holy war are also the objects of competition among various royal families, and they can be described as having a bright future.
In this individual selection competition, the rules are very simple, and the point is up. Defeat the opponent, and you can take the initiative to admit defeat or abstain.
The game went on until the afternoon. The third princess asked one of the attendants, "How many victories have you won?"
"The third princess has won 176 games. The attendant said respectfully.
"How many people are signing up now?"
"It's just over three thousand, and it's still increasing. β
The third princess groaned slightly, and asked with a frown, "Have you found the Night Charm Warrior?"
The attendant hesitated, shook his head, and said, "No." β
The third princess put on a coat and said to a few night ghost warriors, "I'll go back to the palace first, and send someone to inform me immediately if there is anything." β
The Night Phantom Samurai nodded in unison.
"Will you go back with me?"
Caimo looked at his nose and his nose and heart, and shook his head.
Su Mu thought of something else: "Let's go back too, you still have to teach me to cultivate spiritual power." β
Caimo turned around and sat in the corner with some dissatisfaction, and said angrily: "People just let me go back after a while, spiritual power can be cultivated anywhere, why do you have to go back to the palace?"
The third princess looked at her and sighed lightly: "Okay, you stay here, Seventh, what about you?"
Su Mu didn't have to choose: "I'll accompany her." β
Caimo's shoulders in the corner shook, obviously smiling happily.
The third princess bit her lip and smiled, looked at Su Mu and said, "This girl, then you can accompany her, I still have something to do, I have to go back, go home early in the evening, don't let my father worry." β
Su Mu sent her outside the tent: "Third sister, be careful on the road." β
The third princess smiled brightly and waved her hand: "Well, let's go in." β
Before he entered the account, Su Mu said, "The third sister is gone, let's go out and have a look." β
Caimo slowly walked towards him, lowered his head and smiled, and suddenly raised his arms and jumped in the air, "Great, no one cares about me again." As soon as he landed, he took Su Mu's hand: "Let's go, watch the excitement." β
"Let me change my clothes first. β
This kind of small-scale popular scene is indeed rare in life, and every ring is staged with wonderful duels, small fireballs, low-frequency thunder and lightning scattered in all directions, and the spectators in the crowd retreat from time to time with a burst of screams.
Caimo seems to have thorns on his feet, and he has to change places after standing for a while, and he has changed more than a dozen rings in the time of a cup of tea. Su Mu just had the heart to look at it for a while, and was about to shout hello in his voice, but before he could say it, he was pulled away by Caimo elsewhere.
"Go there and see ......" Caimo couldn't help but pull him from the ninth ring to the eleventh, Su Mu was unprepared to be pulled crooked, and stepped on a bald man.
"I'm sorry. Su Mu hurriedly apologized.
The big man's fierce giant eyes glared at him fiercely, and he snorted coldly and continued to watch the game.
"It's not good-looking here...... Caimo You pulled him to the No. 9 ring, and accidentally stepped on the big man on the way, "Right ......" Before he finished speaking, he was picked up by the big man and held up in the air with one hand: "Stinky boy, Lao Tzu is a public threshold, you can step on it, right?"
The big man held Su Mu above his head with both hands, and threw him into the air with a light throw, and there was an exclamation from the crowd, everyone looked up, and saw a person falling from above, and they all dodged to dodge, and no one in the dense crowd reached out to take Su Mu.
The people here were far away from the main stand, and when Su Mu came out just now, he didn't see his face clearly, because no one knew that he was the seventh prince who they almost shouted just now.
Hearing only a miserable scream, Su Mu fell to the ground, and even forgot to scold in pain, and kept moaning in pain with his teeth and mouth covering his forehead oozing blood, because he was shocked to his head, his nose also flowed blood, and the whole person looked extremely miserable.
The big man waved his thick and sturdy arms like a small tree: "Damn, if I don't give you some color, I don't know how powerful Lao Tzu is." β
Caimo didn't know what was going on, he just felt that his hands were empty, and when he looked back, Su Mu was already lying on the ground with blood on his face, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and he rushed over in three steps and two steps, hugging him with pity on his face: "Where is the injury? Who beat you like this?"
Su Mu seemed to have lost his ability to speak, and shook his head silently.
"Which bastard beats my seventh brother, stand up and give you a good death!" (To be continued......)
