Heroes of the Fantasy World

(5)

In July, the ninth day of the lunar month, there is a cloud in the almanac: If Jia does not open a warehouse, his property will be dissipated;

After watching the stars all night, Qin Tianjian played a memorial and said: "The year is fierce, it is advisable to rest and recuperate, avoid killing, let the destiny be in peace, and wait for the right time."

The emperor ignored it and insisted on opening the gates of the palace wide to welcome the common people. He continued to hold the imperial martial arts competition, and specially set up an altar in the southwest of the palace to set up sacrifices, perform a stall show, and send off the plague god.

The flags and banners are flying, forming a continuous wall.

Under the long-awaited calls, the warriors of the first group of duels appeared on the stage one after another.

"Pretty Dancer" Mei Xinghe played against "Hun Horse Archer" Linger.

On the tower of the Wengcheng, the old emperor with gray temples sits here, erecting dozens of large banners around the city wall, magnificently covering the sun. The general of Zhongwei Baifeng stood in the middle of the competition field, watching the flag bearer's order, and said: " Before starting, I must reiterate that during the contest, unless one party loses the ability to resist or chooses to surrender, it cannot be suspended. Of course, whoever wants to take advantage of the danger and kill someone, I will definitely not watch."

He took out the "certificate of life and death", waited for the contestants to press their fingerprints, and then led the certificate to walk around the field to show justice.

The two corresponding recommenders were sitting in the tents on both sides of the competition stage, Mei Lin and Murong An, eunuch and general.

There are four rows of drummers beating drums standing on the walls around the Wengcheng, their movements are uniform and full of strength.The sound of the drums gradually became denser and deeper, forcing the listeners to speed up their pace.

Zhongwei General Bai Feng heard the sound of the drum, walked straight to a big gong in the arena, and beat it vigorously. The inside of the Wengcheng was shaken like thunder.

"The contest begins!"

Mei Xinghe was dressed up to attend today, her fair and tender face was painted into a puffy appearance, which made her look even more flamboyant, her fox-like winking eyes seemed to make people intoxicated without getting close.

"Hey, why should I kill you? I hate killing people the most in my life." She seemed to regard this place as a stage for the oiran, circling and dancing freely, and suddenly fell down with her arms around her shoulders, and threw To wink.

Regular patrons who often go to "Guanghan Pavilion" will not be unfamiliar with this, this is Mei Xinghe's best dance.

"A bunch of stinky men."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly grabbed the dress and spun around like crazy. The patterns on the dress were embroidered with silver borders. From a distance, she looked like a blooming silver flower. No one could see what she had done, only After saying that for a while, she threw out the beautiful skirt, and under the skirt was a cold-faced girl with a completely different temperament from just now.

She was dressed in black clothes, black boots, and black silk, with "braid darts" tied behind her braided hair, and she held a slender gold needle in each hand.

This wonderful dance like a trick successfully won the applause of everyone.

Ling'er, the horse archer of the Xiongnu, seemed a little unable to cope with such a battle. She couldn't speak Chinese well, so she said loudly intermittently: "You... come here, I... am not afraid!"

Compared with Mei Xinghe, Linger's skin is rough, dark, and covered with freckles, but her facial features are small and cute. What doesn't match her is her very slender limbs, and the long handle in her hand. saber.

She wears gold jewelry all over her body, gold earrings, gold bracelets, gold leg rings, tight breeches on her lower body, long and pointed boots, and a mottled beard on her upper body—it seems to be made of various waste materials. Spliced ​​clothing.

All in all, she has a childish face that is extremely disobedient.

"I didn't expect that both sides of the first duel were women!"

"The Hun horse archer is still a child, right?"

"Xinghe, look at me more..."

Mei Xinghe smiled, and sarcastically said to his opponent: "Admit defeat, Linger, I am not the same as you 'war slaves' who wield knives in order to survive."

"War...slave?" She understood the word, then secretly blew her nose, and replied, "I can't lose, lose... General An doesn't want me."

"Hey, I have taken in quite a few girls like you in Guanghan Pavilion..." After Mei Xinghe said hello, he suddenly stepped on the ground, sent two flying needles in the air, and immediately approached him, poking out from inside. Two long needles stabbing continuously.

Relying on the advantages of slender limbs and good use of sabers, the Huns kept a distance to test. Even flying needles and daggers were nothing more than mosquitoes and ants in her eyes.

Seeing her walking steadily, turning her back with one hand, facing the enemy sideways, and holding a flower with a saber in one hand, the others were amazed at her.

"Then let's do this trick." Mei Xinghe took out ten flying needles and threw them together. For a moment, it was like a rainstorm of pear blossoms, Linger couldn't resist, his feet, left shoulder, right arm, or the needles, or to varying degrees The scratches, but she can still maintain her posture, this small injury is not something to be afraid of.

However, at the moment when the Huns moved a little slowly, Mei Xinghe immediately took out his double needles and hit the middle of the road. This is where the saber is concentrated for defense. suppress.

But after a while, I saw the dancer flying out her double thorns, turning her body away from her opponent, and kicking upwards with her bent legs. It was like a crane pointing the way. The black boots touched the mechanism, and a white sharp blade popped out, which could not be caught by the Huns. pointing directly at her chin.

"Stop!" Seeing this, Bai Feng stopped immediately.

Ling'er dropped the knife and froze on the spot.

"Could it be?" Bai Feng hurried forward to check the situation: "There is no blood on the boots, so..."

Ling'er knelt on the ground slumped, and said to herself, "I lost."

Mei Xinghe had no intention of killing, so it was the last point.

"As expected of Mr. Mei's confidant, every part of his body can kill people." Bai Feng admired him sincerely, and Fang wanted to announce the winner.

"Wait a minute!" Mei Xinghe invited the Huns over and said, "I lost this game, I admit defeat."

Ling'er was naturally puzzled and asked, "Why?"

"I just want to tell you, don't follow your 'General An' anymore. He, and them, are not good people." When talking about them, Mei Xinghe deliberately glanced at the tower, Sima Tu and the emperor They all sat on high places to watch the contest.

Bai Feng asked: "Miss Mei really wants to admit defeat?"

"Oh, don't you feel sorry for my little sister?" Mei Xinghe pretended to be in a daze and wanted to fall on Bai Feng's body, but Linger's reaction was positive, and she helped Mei Xinghe to be stable first.

"Thank you..." Mei Xinghe didn't refuse the kindness: "General Baifeng hurry up and announce the result, then I can leave this ghost place."

Bai Fengquan took it as a favor, and immediately announced that the winner was Ling'er, a Hun horse archer, which really aroused a lot of discussion among the people.

"Why did Xinghe lose!"

"You have dog eyes? Miss Mei is better at fighting than dancing, so she should win no matter what!"

"Stupid officials! Stupid officials! Stupid officials!"

Murong An saw that everyone was scolding Bai Feng, so he stood there and watched the joke.

"Ling'er is back."

"General Murong!"

He hugged her like the real father of the Huns and comforted her non-stop. This scene can't help but make people imagine, what is this person who has a long connection with the Taipingdao doing behind the scenes?
