The results of the first competition have come out. The participating warriors temporarily retreated and rested for half an hour. During this period, Gao Jianli came out glumly again and directed others to play the drums.
While playing drums. A craftsman laboriously moved out many large iron cages. They were neatly arranged on the martial arts field, not knowing what to do. The audience was puzzled and became more and more curious.
Finally, when the time came, the craftsman with the loud voice came out again.
He announced loudly: "The first competition is about speed. Whoever runs faster will win. However, when doing things in Shangjun Courtyard, speed is not enough."
"Those thieves who do evil are all fierce and cunning, and kill without blinking an eye. If you don't have courage and only have speed, then you just have to run faster."
These words made many people present laugh.
The craftsman was quite proud of his baggage. He waited until the laughter gradually subsided before continuing: "Therefore, this second competition is about courage."
"Each team has a total of four people. Four wolves will be placed in this iron cage. Whoever can kill the wolf and escape the fastest will win."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Many people asked loudly: "What if someone is eaten by a wolf?"
The craftsman said: "Don't worry, everyone, we have issued armors to the warriors. If the evil wolf wants to eat people, there is no way to eat them. As long as you surrender in time, we will be there to assist, and the lives of the warriors will not be put in danger."
Even though I say this, many people are still very afraid.
There was still a lot of discussion on the field, but the craftsman waved, and the contestants came out again.
Takuto began to introduce again, and the one at the front was Team Damai. In second place is Li's Woodenware. The one who walks in third place...
Everyone discovered that these people were indeed wearing armor, and the armor almost covered them all from head to toe. With the defense so tight, there is really no danger.
However, many of these people are honest farmers, and their most proficient skill in life is farming. Now they actually have to deal with wolves? Even though he was wearing armor, his hands and feet were still shaking with fear.
The craftsman holding a trumpet said loudly: "Everyone, please choose the weapon that suits you best."
While the contestants were choosing their weapons, the craftsmen hung banners on the big iron cage. Some of them read: Barley cakes, even if the immortal eats them, they will agree.
Some wrote: Li's woodware is of high quality and affordable.
Some write: Zhou's rice shop, the grains are plump and sweet.
All the courtiers present were speechless.
Can you still play like this? Today was really an eye-opener.
However, there are still many people who secretly write down these advertisements. Everyone has to live, so it is inevitable to buy some firewood, rice, oil, salt, and daily utensils. What if they are needed?
At this time, the contestants have basically chosen their weapons.
These people choose swords the most. After all, they are in a cage, and those with spears and halberds cannot use them. Instead, they are restrained.
However, everyone soon discovered that Team Damai’s weapons were particularly different. They chose two swords, two spears, and four shields.
While walking back, Xiang Yu suddenly said: "This armor weighs sixty or seventy kilograms together. It is too inconvenient to move with it on."
The Xiang clan disciples beside him nodded and took off their armor one after another.
The whole place was in an uproar, and many people shouted: "Damai, are you crazy? I'll bite you to death."
Damai sitting in the stands: "..."
The craftsman holding a trumpet immediately sent a person to ask Li Shui for his opinion.
If others were playing like this, Li Shui would definitely stop them. But Xiang Yu is playing like this... It's ugly to say the least, but he is a rebel and deserves to die.
What's more, Li Shui knew that he couldn't die.
So Li Shui gave some instructions to the man next to him.
Soon, the craftsman who received the news raised a loudspeaker and said loudly: "As the Immortal has said, it can be done as long as the law does not prohibit it. Because there is no rule in advance not to take off the armor, so the Damai team took off the armor and it is not a foul. However, … From now on, you can’t do this anymore.”
Chun Yuyue suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Nonsense, this is treating human life as a child's play. In order to attract viewers, living people and wild beasts are allowed to fight. What is the difference between this and playing with the princes with beacon fire? Once this example is revealed, our Qin Dynasty is in danger. .”
Li Shui said helplessly: "Dr. Chunyu, are you so unsure of my Da Qin? We are always in danger."
Chunyu Yue wanted to speak again, but Ying Zheng said calmly: "That's it, it's just this time, let's not do it next time."
The emperor had already spoken, but Chunyu Yue had nothing to say and could only sit down.
Li Shui looked at the iron cage below and thought: What should we change in the future?
At this time, all the contestants entered the iron cage.
Later, a craftsman brought some wolves in a cart.
These wolves were all locked in cages, and they were all very manic. Many of them had red eyes.
The craftsman held up a trumpet and introduced: "These wolves were brought from the grassland after the Huns were wiped out. They are extremely ferocious, but their fur is very warm and their meat is delicious."
"Recently, Shangjun Courtyard will launch wolf fur coats and prairie-style wolf meat, so stay tuned."
courtier:"……"
After finishing the advertisement, Takuto said: "Let's get started."
Then, the craftsmen began to drive the hungry wolves to get them into the big cage.
At this time, a contestant in the cage shouted: "I am waiting to quit, and I am willing to quit."
So these people were released. Soon, three or four more groups gave up.
These people took off their armor and wiped the cold sweat on their faces: "Life is still important. Farming the fields in Shangjun Courtyard is quite good. Why do you want to be a guard? You are usually very relaxed and respected. . But if a thief comes, it will cost you your life."
These people whispered to each other and discussed with each other for a while, and they felt more and more that their decision was the right one.
The craftsman holding a trumpet signaled, and then the hungry wolves were driven into the cage. The craftsmen outside locked the big iron cage with a click and retreated into the distance.
Some Confucian scholars were stunned and couldn't help but say: "It's so cruel and inhumane, they even locked the iron cage. If those craftsmen can't resist, will they be bitten into pieces alive?"
Li Shui couldn't help but said: "If you don't lock it, those hungry wolves will run out and rush in front of the adults. Can you stop them?"
The Confucian scholar's face suddenly turned red and he stopped talking.
Li Xin chuckled: "You obviously don't have the ability to argue with my sister-in-law, but you still want to argue with me. Isn't this humiliating yourself?"
Chunyu Yue was a little speechless: Is this praising me or hurting me?
…………
The fight in the cage has begun. Most people have focused their attention on Team Damai.
After all, the members of Team Damai don't wear armor. This gimmick alone is enough to attract people.
No matter who he is, no matter how much he claims to be well-read in poetry and books, there is no trace of bloodshed. But the excitement-seeking gene in your bones cannot be erased.
After the four hungry wolves entered the cage, they immediately rushed towards the Xiang family's children.
At this time, the audience saw a magical scene.
The four Xiang children cooperated extremely well. As soon as they came up, they used spears to stab the wolves from a distance, and stabbed them effortlessly.
The hungry wolf howled and rushed forward with its speed advantage, wanting to bite the Xiang family's children.
But the children of the Xiang family who took off their armor were not as slow as them at all. Just waiting for the hungry wolf to get close, they would use their shields to protect themselves. At the same time, the two swords took advantage of the situation and struck out, seriously injuring the hungry wolf.
The hungry wolf was in pain and began to run away again. But the person holding the Changge began to attack from a distance.
After a few rounds, the hungry wolf was completely subdued and began to escape around the cage. But Xiang's children caught up with them with a single wave of their spears.
In short, in the big cage, these four wolves had no room to hide. They were chased and ran around. Finally, they howled several times one after another and fell to the ground dead.
From the moment the hungry wolf entered the cage to the moment the barley team killed the hungry wolf, it only took a moment. In other cages, the humans and wolves were still testing, and had not even started a formal attack.
Everyone on the field was stunned, and then burst into thunderous cheers.
Xiang Yu and his children emerged from the cage like heroes.
Now Xiang Yu has regained some confidence, as if he had experienced a cold winter and lost all his leaves. Finally, when spring came, it started to sprout again.
Of course, it would be better if the person cheering on the field was not Damai.
Wei Young had been covering her eyes. Hearing the cheers around her, she nervously asked Li Shui: "How's it going? How's it going?"
Li Shui said: "It's nothing, someone's head was bitten off."
Weiyang exclaimed and covered her hands tighter.
Li Shui felt that it was not satisfying enough, and added more jealously: "Oh, that man's leg was bitten. He was crawling, and he wanted to escape, but unfortunately, another wolf came, oh, and jumped on his back. ”
Weiyang was about to cry.
The poppy not far away shouted helplessly: "Exiled Immortal."
Li Shui then laughed and said to Weiyang: "I was just joking. No one died, princess, don't worry."
Wei Yang didn't believe it this time: "You must be lying to me. Did many people die, but you lied that no one died?"
Li Shui was helpless.
And Li Xin came close to Li Shui and whispered: "This feather is not simple. There are only four people, but they are moving around in a very organized manner. If this person gathers an army, he will definitely be a powerful enemy."
Li Shui nodded: "Of course I know this. But don't worry, he won't be able to stir up trouble here."
At this time, the second team also walked out of the cage. The second person to come out was Li's Woodware.
They don't have the skills of Xiang's children, but they are quite courageous. Because they were wearing armor, they ran over the hungry wolves without any care and stabbed them randomly with their swords.
When they came out, the wolves were almost chopped into pieces. These people were covered in blood and stood in the martial arts field with murderous intent. The visual effect was more impactful than that of the Xiang family's children.
Many spectators were cheering vigorously.
Xiang Yu thought with some annoyance: "My reputation as a general has been greatly reduced by this group of poor Guizhou leaders."
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu suddenly came to his senses: I'm here to assassinate Huaiguzi, what are I doing here fighting for glory?
Half an hour later, all the wolves in the cage were killed. All the contestants stood on the martial arts field.
Some people, such as Xiang Yu, looked proud. Some people, like Li Shimuqi, have tough faces.
Others were trembling, obviously the fear had not passed.
The craftsman said quietly: "Everyone, as we all know, working as a guard in Shangjun Courtyard is the easiest job, you get the most money every month, and you are the most respected."
"But have you ever thought about why this is? Because the guards may die at some point. Their money and status are all obtained with their lives."
"You have already killed wolves, so you must have some understanding of the word danger. Is there anyone who wants to quit and work peacefully in the fields?"
"Don't worry, everyone, Banished Immortal has already said it. Whether it's farming, killing enemies, or being a craftsman, it's just a different division of labor. Banished Immortal will treat everyone equally."
After a while, a group of people came out, and another group of people came out.
In the end, only about thirty teams were left on the field.
Takuto took out another piece of paper and said: "For those who remain, some teams have too low scores. Even if they participate in the final selection, they will not be able to serve as guards. Therefore, I advise you to give up to avoid injury."
Takumi called the names of several teams, and those people left silently.
There are now twenty teams left on the field. So they began to draw lots.
After the draws were completed, Takuto announced that the last competition was a team battle.
A single round-robin format is adopted, and each team has to compete with other teams. Points are determined based on wins and losses.
Afterwards, these twenty teams began to fight against their opponents based on the results of the draw.
Most of the Qin people in the stands are officials. They are pampered. When have you ever seen such a scene?
Four people fought against four people, punching hard to the flesh and leaving dust flying.
Many people's blood was racing and their teeth were gnashing at the sight. Although he looked calm on the surface, his heart was already pounding.
The most helpless among them was Princess Weiyang. She finally waited until the wolf was killed. She just opened her eyes and covered them again when she saw this scene.
Chunyu Yue stroked his beard and said, "Well... Great Qin prohibits private fights, and banishing immortals is suspected of violating the prohibition."
Li Shui smiled and said: "Dr. Chunyu, this is wrong. This is obviously a competition. There is no grudge between the two parties, they just want to compete. After the fight is over, we will still be good friends."
Before he finished speaking, two groups of people started to fight with real fire, shouting and cursing while fighting.
Li Shui was a little helpless and ordered the craftsman to immediately warn everyone: Shangjun Courtyard is the land of etiquette. It is okay to hit people, but not to curse them.
Chunyu Yue suddenly felt that the word etiquette had been stained beyond recognition by Li Shui.
Most of the spectators present did not stare at the etiquette like Chun Yuyue. Their eyes were fixed on Team Damai and Lee Woodware.
So far, these two teams are simply unstoppable. Without a single defeat.
Especially the Damai team, they often defeated their opponents in just a few breaths.
Everyone is looking forward to it, hoping that the Damai team will have a solid encounter with Li's Woodenware.
Finally, it was the turn of Team Damai and Lee Woodware.
At this time, not only the courtiers in the stands held their breath, but also the people watching were silent.
Even the people who were fighting around them stopped invariably and looked over curiously.
Team Damai looked proud and looked down upon the world. That look seemed to say that the whole place was full of idiots, and there was no one who could beat him.
Li's woodware, on the other hand, has a dull expression, full of tenacity in its dullness, like a stubborn stone. No matter how wind blows or rain blows, I will remain unmoved.
The two teams looked at each other for a long time.
Finally, Xiang Yu yelled: "Kill!"
He led the Xiang family's children and rushed over.
There were only four of them, but they came out with the momentum of thousands of troops.
They were using their bare hands, but everyone could feel the killing intent emanating from them.
All eyes are on them.
Even Ying Zheng, who had always been calm and calm, frowned slightly. He stared at Xiang Yu for a long time, and suddenly said lightly: "This son is extraordinary."
Li Shui looked at Ying Zheng with admiration and thought to himself: He is indeed an emperor, he is really good at judging people.
