Chapter 1 Martial Arts Recruitment
"What's the place in front? I feel that there are many people..." Lianqi raised the curtain and looked at the people coming and going at the entrance not far away, most of whom were young men.
"It's Huajiazhai. It's getting late today. Let's borrow it for a night." Hongshang poked his head out from the other side.
The meat jumped down from the carriage and began to lead the horse ahead. Lian Jian saw a row of guards standing at the door, and the people who entered were going to be checked.
"I've been to so many towns, but it's not like this..." Lian Jian is puzzled. What is this Huajiazhai? Why are there so many rules?
"Towns are towns, but this is a village, which does not belong to the imperial city. Huajiazhai has always been famous. Of course, people from outside will be careful. If there are spies, it's not good. Hongshang explained.
Sitting in the innermost, Cha Xi, wearing a light blue dress, never made a sound. She closed her eyes and was drowsy.
And next to the foreared is the little flower demon A Bao. It hangs its head and is sleeping soundly at this moment.
The meat talked with the guards at the door. One of them came over and raised the curtain with the hilt of his sword to look at several people inside, and then walked around the carriage. After finding that there was nothing abnormal, he nodded to the leading bodyguard.
"Go in." The soldier waved his hand, and the village soldiers behind him stood away and made a way.
Today is the day for the young lady to hold a ring to recruit marriages. There has been an endless stream of guests from early in the morning, and they are a little tired. The meat hugged them, jumped into the carriage and ran to the city.
Looking at the surrounding scenery curiously, Lian Jian only felt that the scenery of the small city was particularly distinctive.
If you look far away, you can also see the green mountains, which are magnificent and fresh. She felt that this small place seemed to be surrounded by mountains.
"It's usually difficult to get in Huajiazhai. There are so many people today. I don't know what's going on..." Hongshang thought about it.
The carriage stopped on the side of the road, and there were too many people in front of it to pass. Forsia moved out of the carriage and sat next to the meat.
"What's wrong?"
After saying this, Lianqi only felt a gust of wind flashed, and the meat beside him disappeared.
"--It's a ring." The sound came from above. Forsythia tilted his head and looked at it and saw the meat sitting cross-legged on the top of the carriage. There was a large crowd in front of them. Hearing her say this, Lian Jian suddenly became curious and immediately stood up as if he wanted to follow him to the top of the carriage -
"I want to watch it too!" Forsythia held his skirt and immediately wanted to climb up.
"For out, for out!" Hongshang quickly called her, "We might as well squeeze in the front so that we can see more carefully!" Looking at the red appearance, it seems that he is very interested in this competition.
Lion nodded happily, jumped out of the carriage, and Hong Shang followed him down from the car.
"Do you want to call Bao?" Hongshang asked.
"No, it's sleeping. Let it sleep for a while." Lian Jian waved his hands and looked up at the people on the roof of the car. "What about you? Do you want to go to the front with us?"
"I'd better stay here." The meat smiled and said, "When you take good care of it, come and find me."
"Okay!" Lian Qiao immediately agreed. Hongshang saw that they had agreed and turned around and took Lian Qiao's hand and took her to squeeze into the crowd.
Foria follows the red man, surrounded by people, a little airtight. However, Hongshang was a veteran at first sight and took her to the front in one breath.
"Wow..." Hongshang breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, we have practiced this ability to squeeze the road since we were young, otherwise we really can't come here today."
Fortear wiped her forehead with her sleeves. The weather is getting hotter, and her sweaty constitution is the most troublesome.
At this time, there were two people fighting in the ring.
The man on the left looked very weak, while the man on the right looked very strong. In a few rounds, the weak man was thrown from the ring.
The people in the front row took a few steps back, and the forearm and reds were no exception. She looked at the dust raised by the man and turned her head and asked, "What is this?"
"Ye." Hongshang pointed to the flag hanging on the ring with his chin. "This is the flag of the owner of the Huajiazhai village, and the flag says martial arts competition. It must be his daughter is going to get married."
"Marty competition to attract relatives?" Lian Jian was interested. She looked at the people around her excitedly and said, "No wonder there are so many men!"
She has only seen the martial arts competition on TV. Now she can be on the scene in person. Can't she be excited?
Red Shang looked at some people sitting on the stage, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Foria, look, the one sitting next to the old man in black must be the daughter of the village owner."
Lian Qiao looked along the sight of the red dress and saw a beautiful woman sitting dignifiedly in a chair. She is wearing a plain snow-colored dress, about eighteen or nine years old.
"Ah, the village owner's daughter..." Lian Jian blinked and said honestly, "I didn't expect the village owner's daughter to be so quiet. I thought it must be a long knife in hand, dressed in fiery red clothes, and women who don't want to give up their eyebrows.
"You're talking about me." Hongshang replied rudely.
"Bad!" Lian Jian stabbed her small waist with her elbow.
So the two girls fought under the stage, with a cheerful smile on their faces.
At this time, the old man in black stood up on the stage. He had a small beard on his face, and in the crowd, he walked to the center of the stage.
"Quiet, quiet--" He raised his hand and motioned everyone to silence.
The voices around gradually calmed down, and Lian Qiao and Hongshang also stood up straight and looked at the stage curiously.
"Thank you heroes for coming to participate in my martial arts competition today - as we all know, the final winner will marry my daughter Hua Xing and become the next owner of this flower village - now this strong man has won three games in a row, I don't know who wants to challenge?"
The man with a big knife on the stage was so powerful that those who had been up before were beaten down, and the last one even vomited blood. Look at me and I look at you. The game has been going on for nearly a day. After this round, the opponents on the stage can be very tricky now.
"It's not that powerful." Lian Jian muttered in a low voice, "And you think he should be 40 years old, right? It's more than enough to be the godfather of the village owner's daughter--
Forever really can't bear to look at such a flower-like girl and fall into the fire pit. After all, it's a marriage event. How can it be vague?
"Look again, the masters are all behind." Hongshang felt that this competition would not end so easily. After all, this is not just about marrying a wife. If you win, even the whole Huajiazhai will be your own! It is impossible for this excellent man in the world not to be greedy.
It turns out that Hongshang is right. In the push of the crowd, a man in black went up against the wind, and the machete in his hand flashed brightly in the sun.
Fortear only looks at the back and thinks it should be good.
- Of course, this is just the back.
The man in black turned around the next second and hugged everyone: "I'm not talented. I'm willing to compete with this strong man." After saying that, he touched the two little beards on his mouth.
Lipsia suddenly didn't know what to say... Such a modest sentence came out of his mouth and turned into a provocation. And he still has this kind of beard. Does he think he is Lu Xiaofeng? Lu Xiaofeng is a handsome man. He looks good no matter how he does it. Can he learn from his short and thin body?!
And the orange peel on the face... Lianqi doesn't want to complain. She only felt that if she was facing such a man for the rest of her life, she would rather not get married for the rest of her life.
Red manga is similar to her idea.
"It looks so obscene... I don't know how strong it is."
"...I really don't know who should support to win... or go to another hero." Lian Jian said sincerely.
The fight will begin soon.
The thin monkey with a machete made a strange move, but a few moves made the strong man opposite him retreat repeatedly. Lian Jian couldn't take his eyes off it, and the more he looked at it, the more strange it became.
"Hongshang, where do you think he comes from?"
"I don't know, I can't say, I haven't seen it."
With just two words, the thin monkey trampled the strong man under his feet. The strong man was not convinced and held his legs in his hands and wanted to get up, but a touch of ferocity appeared on his face. Then he picked up the machete in his hand and cut it down. A burst of blood spewed out, and the strong man let go of his hand in pain.
The thin monkey's face showed a successful smile. He raised his foot and kicked the strong man down fiercely, just in the direction of the fort.
Foria and Hongshang were shocked at the same time, and the two quickly retreated. Fortunately, they had practiced martial arts and reacted in time, otherwise they would not be smashed down alive!
"Hey! You didn't open your eyes! --" Hong Shang pointed to the man on the stage and cursed.
The thin monkey touched his two little beards again, and the forsythia lowered her head with some nausea - she desperately recalled Lu Xiaofeng's appearance, otherwise it would be bad to spit out the lunch.
However, when she lowered her head, she saw something wrong with the situation of the strong man. With some doubts in her heart and hesitation, she still chose to step forward and squat down.
"Uncle, are you all right?"
"Auntie, girl...you...look at my hand..." The uncle frowned in pain, and the sweat on his forehead slipped down. The forteared gently spread out his palm and looked at it carefully, and was faintly surprised.
"Girl...you, don't lie to me... You tell me, my hand... I..." The uncle looked at the forte, with a trace of expectation on his face.
The seemingly casual stroke on the stage just now broke the tendons of his hands. Lian Jian gently put his hand aside and whispered, "I'm afraid I can't use a knife anymore."
The expression of the strong man turned into dead ashes in an instant.
The forsythia couldn't bear to turn her head - she knew how sad it was for martial arts practitioners to not be able to use weapons with both hands!
"Ha ha..." The strong man laughed. He struggled to get up from the ground and looked at the ring angrily - "The son of a bitch... He actually did this to me. Even if I die, I will take you to hell!"
Forsythia quickly stopped him - "Uncle, his strength is too strong for you! You'd better not go..."
When saying these words, Lian Jian's heart was a little more angry. It was just a martial arts competition to attract marriages. He just needed to take people off the stage. Why bother to do such an immoral thing?
Hongshang kept watching. She bent down and gently patted Lian Qiao's shoulder to calm her down.
The obscene man with the machete began to shout in the ring-
"Haha! Come on, come on! I'd like to see who else dares to fight with me! - If no one comes, this beautiful lady will be mine! Hahahaha... This whole Huajiazhai is also mine!!——"
Hearing this, Lianqi instinctively looked in the direction of the village owner and saw the watery woman frown slightly. Obviously, she also didn't like this cruel man.
"I just hate that I'm not a man." Forthia stood up from the ground in a resentful tone.
"That's right, otherwise I will make him kneel down and beg for mercy!" Red-shang also feels the same way.
The two were thinking, and there was a burst of laughter behind them. It seemed to be a secret smile, but it was as clear as the wind. At first glance, it sounded very good.
