Chapter 255: The delayed competition
Luoye County, Luoye City.
A middle-aged man, holding a small handful of rice in his hand, sprinkled it little by little toward the pond outside the railing.
It is said to be a pond, but the two banks of the vast water surface are nearly a thousand feet apart, which clearly shows the vastness of this mansion.
And to be able to occupy such a large piece of land in Luoye City, where every inch of land is precious, this person is so powerful that he is probably the only person in the entire Luoye County who can shock three people with just a simple stamp of his feet.
This middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar is Ji Shenfu, the governor of Luoye County.
The entire family knew that the Lord Commander liked water, so his living place was also located in the "Fuyun Residence" adjacent to the pond. And this giant pond, which can be called a lake, also has its own name, and it was Ji Shen who helped him get it.
Name: Yunxiao Pool.
However, the servants in the mansion rarely call him this name. It's not that Ji Shenfu gave any orders, but that everyone taboos the word "Yunxiao", which is the same as the name of the country in the previous dynasty.
However, the remnants of the previous dynasty have not appeared for decades, and Luo Yun Kingdom, with the support of Luo Yun Sect, has become one of the seven most powerful countries in the world today. Those old patrons from the previous dynasty are all old and dead.
Therefore, as the governor of Luoye County and the true earth emperor, Ji Shenfu is not taboo about the word "Yunxiao". He even likes it very much and even named his residence Fuyunju.
The middle-aged man, who was dressing up as a Confucian scholar, was watching the koi carps in the pond swirling around him when a black-armored soldier ran in from outside and knelt outside the door hall.
Immediately, a boy came to meet him. Not long after, the boy ran over and whispered: "Sir, there is an urgent military report from Ji Rentu!"
Ji Shenfu threw all the rice in his hands into the lake. Due to the vast water surface, a piece of skylight was reflected in the lake, and the entire Fuyunju was very bright.
"Let him in."
Soon the black-armored soldier came forward, knelt down on the ground, raised the intelligence tube sealed with fire paint in his hand, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, urgent military information!"
"read!"
The soldier opened the gun paint, unfolded the paper roll in the tube, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, I am reporting the massacre of tens of thousands of people! This time I used troops without mercy, but I took advantage of them and advanced rashly, causing heavy losses to two thousand cavalry! I withdrew my troops at a good time, and even though I was surrounded for three days, I could not break it! Just because of this One person, this person's name is Li Chengtao. He is a martial arts expert. I am indeed invincible. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my order and have found out clearly. This person is the Wind Chaser back then. I will return with the remnants of my troops in a few days. Please don't miss me. , until the details of this matter are reported to your lord, I shall die!"
The more the black-armored soldier read, the heavier the roll of tissue paper in his hand became. At the end, he was sweating profusely!
After hearing the soldier's report, Ji Shenfu could not see any change in his face. After a while, he raised his hand and waved lightly: "Okay, I understand, you can get off!"
The soldiers immediately bowed and retreated, as if they were being pardoned.
The Lord Commander, who was dressed as a Confucian scholar, looked at the calm lake water outside the railing and said with a chuckle: "Since I can find Zhui Feng, I will spare you this time! Huh, brother, you are becoming more and more like a courtier. Got it!"
………………Dividing line………………
Since Yi Xifeng returned to Liangchengang that day, he followed the large army back to Yinren Village. After everyone exchanged their merit rewards, they went home.
After all, it was a battle that lasted for many days, which made them all exhausted. However, it was the group of people from drug management and trading firms who began to be busy instead of them. This group of villagers who originally chose literature and art have devoted themselves to the construction of Tiexin Village.
As the saying goes, writers can bring order to the world with their pens, but soldiers can use their horses to make things happen! The civil and military division of Yinren Village seems to have its own system. At this time, the two big families, the Wang family and the Zhong family, were busy.
Another piece of more influential information is the final competition of the martial arts competition.
On that day, a group of people from Xingwutang made a sneak attack on Liangchengang. After Yi Xifeng and others completed the competition that day, they went to the deciduous forest to fight with them, which led to a series of events that followed.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these things were developed by Zhao Yuntian and the senior officials of Yinren Village based on the incident at Xingwutang. But the root of everything, or the trigger, was the battle in the deciduous forest that day.
Along with this, the competition on the second day of the qualifying competition for the martial arts competition was postponed.
After that, the annexation war broke out between Yinren Village and Tiexin Village, which also made most of the people who rushed to this event decide to end their trip early.
However, the martial arts competition, as an important selection competition in Yinren Village, could not end in such an anticlimactic manner. On the second day after Ji Rentu retreated from the army, an announcement was posted outside the Elder Square.
"Hey, his second brother, did you read that announcement?"
"Hey, isn't there a long sea? This early in the morning, I have already gone to the Elder's Square to see it!"
"Really? Second brother, what did you say above?"
"In fact, the general meaning is that the rankings for this martial arts competition will no longer be selected based on the traditional ring competition. Instead, they will be selected through tribute comparison."
"Compared with Gongzi?"
"Changhai, you, a businessman, naturally don't know about the tributes on this salary list."
"Second brother, look what you said! Of course I know the salary list, and I even took over the task above!"
"Oh, that's right. Those of you who haven't practiced martial arts since childhood can still complete the yellow-level tasks above."
"Second brother, are you saying that they no longer determine rankings based on the competition ring method, but based on the number of tributes?"
"To be precise, it's the newly acquired tributes this year!"
"Hey, I think it would be exciting for them to compete in the ring."
…
The two of them talked to each other, like many villagers, discussing today's new announcement.
Maybe for them, the annexation of Tiexin Village is not as promising as this announcement. After all, the viewing and entertainment aspects of the competition are much more interesting than the competition between the two forces.
At this time, Yi Xifeng was remodeling his iron chain vest in the arsenal on the side of the martial arts arena.
This iron chain vest was originally made by Lin Rufa, a fair boy who had entrusted it to him. No matter the materials or workmanship, the quality was no worse than the iron chain inner armor that protected the iron clothes.
At this time, he slightly modified the iron chain vest. From the outside, it looked almost the same as the inner armor. From the outside, he wore a standard robe, so it couldn't be seen.
Yi Xifeng has worked harder than ever since he followed Li Chengtao to intercept Ji Rentu.
The weight of these four words "walking in the world" is still a bit unbearable for today's young people. But he had no other choice but to do everything he could to make himself stronger.
Therefore, during the three days when the top brass in protective armor agreed to make repairs, the fair boy still did not dare to relax at all. .
Looking at the guard armor and underwear that he put on again and the terrifying weight, Yi Xifeng felt a little better. Looking at the rising sun, he knew it was time to go to Liangchengang.
Because there, he made an appointment with Qingzhu to meet there.
