Into Xuancheng Xianxian, From Not Being A Son-In-Law

Chapter 160 Qianlong

"I've finished eating, so I won't accompany Dage."

"It also saves Dage from getting tired of seeing me being degrading and polite."

"Mr. Zhang, please eat slowly..."

The suave and unruly fourth prince waved his hand and walked away. The eldest prince who stayed behind ate green onion noodles with Zhang Shoufu.

There was not much noodles left in the old man's bowl, and the eldest prince didn't care how hot the noodles were when they came out of the pot. While maintaining the proper demeanor of a Tian family, he picked up the noodles faster.

When Zhang Shoufu put down his chopsticks, the noodles in the eldest prince's bowl had also bottomed out.

Finished eating around the same time.

Zhang Shoufu wiped his mouth, shook his head slightly and said, "Your Highness actually doesn't have to be like this. I'm not in a hurry. Your Highness can just wait for a while after eating."

The eldest prince put down his chopsticks, sat upright and said solemnly: "Students can wait for Mr. Zhang, but there is no reason to make Mr. Zhang wait for students."

"But Your Highness is like this, can you really eat this bowl of chopped green onion noodles? How does it taste?"

Zhang Shoufu stood up slowly while holding on to the table. The eldest prince hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him. The old man did not refuse his offer. The money for the two bowls of green onion noodles and the fourth prince's bowl of soy seed noodles was also paid by the eldest prince's attendant.

"Mr. Zhang, are you going to the ring?"

"yes."

The eldest prince told his attendants: "Hurry and prepare the carriage and horses."

Zhang Shoufu then shook his head: "No need, what kind of carriage and horse are you using for just a few steps? I'm not old enough to even walk."

"Then let the students help Mr. Zhang over..."

The arena that was set up overnight was a square stone brick platform.

It is one foot above the ground and over thirteen feet wide and long.

The high priest brought Amul, Aleph and other desert young people to the ring earlier.

When it comes to the ups and downs of the country, it is conceivable that these desert people in the capital city of Dayan will not get any good looks. All they can feel is the sense of depression that the storm is coming and the wind is filling the building.

Until with the support of the eldest prince, Zhang Shoufu slowly walked over.

"High Priest, since we have arrived, let's get started."

There was no unveiling ceremony, no formality, and no representative from either party stepped onto the stage to say a few words.

With just such a sentence, the old man weighing the country ignited the depression and urgency that filled the arena, and unleashed a rainstorm that would wash away many old customs and rules, dripping down.

In an arena where the national destiny is used as a bargaining chip, this huge gamble revolves around the armed forces of the younger generations of the two countries, and there are no superfluous rules to tie one's hands.

One on one.

Either someone surrenders and admits defeat, or only one person can still stand in the ring, which means the winner is determined.

Moreover, the fate of the country is at present, regardless of life or death.

Therefore, everyone who steps into the ring is like signing a life and death certificate. If they fail to admit defeat in time, it may not only end this influential ring competition, but also their own lives.

Led by Amul and Aleph, there are fourteen young people from the desert who will stand on the stage one after another. Except for Amul, who has been living in a temple deep in the desert and has no reputation, they are all on the Hidden Dragon List. Occupy a seat.

In fact, there were supposed to be fifteen people, but Wu Enqi is still in the prison.

It’s not that the high priest has never thought of fishing Wu Enqi out, but the answer given by Zhang Shoufu, who can represent the Dayan court, is also very simple. Based on what Wu Enqi committed, regardless of whether he is from the Desert or Dayan, The Imperial Guards would arrest him and put him in jail.

This is not against Da Mo, nor is it a countermeasure to deal with Da Mo people making trouble in the capital. It is just the punishment Wu Enqi deserves after his impulsive behavior in Baihuai Hall.

If it were a different person and a different time period, the same outcome would have happened.

Desert people are also reaping the consequences.

In the past few days, they used the Qianlong List as a reason to challenge Dayan Qianlong. On the one hand, they were putting pressure on the Dayan court and forcing the court to react. On the other hand, they were also deliberately injuring Dayan Qianlong in advance. Weaken potential in-ring opponents.

For example, Qianlong Eleven's Fang Huo had to rest and recover from his injuries during this period. Even if he had a heart to serve the country, he was unable to get on the stage and defeat the desert people with his own hands.

It is impossible for the high priest to sacrifice his superiority and compete with Da Yan in order to gain more fighting power in the ring. As for whether Zhang Shouxu's statement that Wu Enqi's imprisonment has nothing to do with gambling in the ring is true or false.

Mostly true.

Because if Da Yan was really determined to take the opportunity to arrest someone and win this huge bet through the desert people not being able to enter the ring, then why would it be Wu Enqi who was arrested and imprisoned.

Why catch just one?

The best of the fourteen young people from the desert will face all the young people from Da Yan who are willing to step into the ring.

As for how to divide this younger generation.

Of course, it cannot be based on seniority, but actual age. It refers to a rigid standard of Qianlong Ranking besides strength.

Under thirty.

The desert man who was the first to stand on the ring was called Agula.

Ranked thirty-sixth on the Qianlong list.

It seems that this ranking is not high, but if you think about it carefully, which of the people who can be on the Qianlong List is not considered to have outstanding talent? Agula is still ranked in the middle and upper reaches among a group of people with outstanding talents, but he can't be regarded as amazingly talented.

But despite this, he is just the first person in the desert to stand up for the challenge.

Under the ring, a young man wearing a navy blue military uniform with a sword jumped up.

Entered the ring.

Holding the sword upside down cupped fist is a courtesy.

"Cao Jian, an eighth-grade martial artist, please come!"

The desert man Agula raised his arms slightly: "Cao Jian? Your name doesn't seem to be on the Hidden Dragon List."

"Hmph, although I am not talented, I am willing to learn the clever tricks of the Desert Hidden Dragon!"

"bring it on."

Agula hooked his hand with a contemptuous attitude.

Although not only Qianlong is allowed to stand in the ring, but with the average Qianlong lineup in the desert, what benefits can the younger generation who are not Qianlong gain by standing up?

It’s not like everyone is walking around the world as a Taoist before going down the mountain.

Cao Jian, who claims to be untalented, may feel that even if one is ranked in the middle or upper reaches of the Hidden Dragon Ranking while the other is not on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, although they are both eighth-grade martial artists, there is admittedly a gap, but the difference is so big that it is not impossible to give it a try. .

Or maybe he just wanted to make a name for himself in this arena that attracted worldwide attention and even the chief minister and the prince came to watch.

Therefore, he became the first Dayan person to stand in the ring.

It doesn't matter if you are courageous or blind.

It’s just that the bloody reality will never be reversed for dreams.

Agula and Cao Jian fought for no more than three rounds, and the outcome seemed to be far from decided. The Dayan people who were outsiders watching the excitement were still cheering for Cao Jian, but the insiders who could discern the skills had already shaken their heads and saw that Agula is playing tricks on Cao Jian.

If Agura wanted, he could resolve this battle within three moves.

But I've been walking my dog ​​all the time.

Cao Jian used his full strength with every sword strike.
