Chapter 122 Weird
Yun Ting clapped his hands and laughed: "What a good way to rely on God's will!"
While they were chatting, Yun Yan glanced aside and saw a woman wearing a veil.
She felt familiar, but couldn't recognize who it was. She couldn't help wondering, "Your Majesty, who is this?"
Yun Ting took his time away from the conversation with Nan Yingzhi and introduced her: "Oh, she is my Lian Zhaoyi."
When he was called, Yun Ji withdrew his feet from playing with Nan Yingzhi, stood up and saluted at the right time: "Greetings, Princess."
It was not good to let Yun Ting know that they knew each other, so Yun Yan smiled warmly and pretended that she had just met him for the first time: "Hello, Sister Zhaoyi."
Seeing them nod, Yun Ting pointed to a seat and motioned for Yun Yan to sit down: "Today is an auspicious day calculated by the Ministry of Rites. Smile and don't look so gloomy."
Forcefully forcing a smile, she sat down between Yun Ting and Yun Ji: "As you wish."
The fame of the Seventh Princess of Dali spread far and wide. When she first held an open martial arts competition for a husband among all the men, it had a great impact.
Below the arena, there was a huge crowd of men.
Seeing the princess sitting on a high place from afar, they rubbed their hands in anticipation, vowing to win her heart.
Although before coming, Yun Ji wanted to pray for Yun Yan, asking God to find her a good husband.
But Nan Yingzhi was opposite him, and the only thing in his mind was "how to get further contact with Nan Yingzhi".
As for her younger sister Yun Yan, she had been forgotten about.
As the hourglass on the stage, symbolizing the countdown, began to tick away, the cheers from the audience became louder.
A big man picked up a mallet and hit the drum: "The auspicious time has arrived, the stage is open--"
Seeing people rushing to the ring, the ceremonial officer in charge of the ring competition quickly asked the guards to stop them: "Wait a minute, everyone. Let me introduce the rules first. This martial arts competition will officially begin!"
Unable to break through the flesh wall of guards, people had no choice but to retreat back to the stage.
After much difficulty, the situation was brought under control and the ceremonial officer explained the rules in detail.
“This martial arts competition will last for two hours. On the stage, all forms of fighting are allowed, including but not limited to the use of spears and clubs.
"Be careful, once you go down, you can't come back up! The one who stands on the ring till the end is the winner. However, a princess is precious, but her life is even more precious, so you must be careful!"
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, "Don't waste time, let's get started!", the ceremonial officer stepped aside angrily and said, "Then, warriors, go ahead!"
Sitting high and seeing far, Nan Yingzhi only needs to look down to see the whole situation below.
There are quite a few young and inexperienced people who have already rushed onto the stage, and there are also many experienced people who are standing in the audience and choosing to wait and see.
It is an honor to marry a princess, but when fighting against people from the four realms, most people admit that they are not good enough.
They just went on stage to try their luck with the attitude of "maybe others don't dare to come, I'll try and succeed".
Although the Seventh Princess was famous for her beauty, they had only heard of her and had never seen her.
They didn't even know whether the princess was round or flat, so why would they be willing to risk their lives just to marry her?
Since they were all small fights, the arena was crowded, but no one was eliminated.
Seeing that the originally formulated rules were not working and fearing being held accountable by his superiors, the ceremonial officer became a little anxious. He rolled his eyes and shouted at the stage.
"Only one person can stand on the stage at a time. Everyone, move quickly, otherwise the guards below the stage will eliminate you all at once!"
When they heard that there was a "forced elimination" phase, many people who intended to take advantage of the situation became panicked.
Fearing that people nearby would kill them, some people quickly retreated downwards, while others fought hard, intending to push others down.
For a moment, the arena became lively, but everyone was fighting against each other, and it was dazzling.
Seeing the chaotic scene, Yun Ting thought that the opportunity had come. He quietly instructed Gao Shu to let Yang Ling get ready and show up.
Gao Shu understood, said "eh", and moved to the side.
He had just returned to Yun Ting's side when a green figure suddenly flashed onto the stage and landed directly in the center.
As if he was getting impatient, he drew out the sword in his hand and swiftly made a sword flower.
His technique was graceful and his momentum was unstoppable. With just one move, the people around him covered their throats and quickly fled off the stage.
Not only did the uninterested Yun Yan's eyes light up, but Nan Yingzhi, who was immersed in playing with Yun Ji, was also attracted by this person.
He wore a green shirt and a white robe, with his hair tied up high, and was good at using a long sword.
Could this person be the Western Region’s number one expert, the swordsman Dugu Yue?
I didn’t expect that even the Western Regions, which has always been too lazy to get involved in Dali’s affairs, would send people to this martial arts competition to win a bride?
Dugu Yue comes and goes without a trace, as swift as the wind. His favorite thing is to learn from others.
Nan Yingzhi had a deep impression of Dugu Yue.
First, the original text constantly emphasizes that "he" is very handsome. Whenever "he" appears, there will be a lot of descriptions of his appearance.
At first, Nan Yingzhi didn’t understand the reason, she just thought the author was padding the word count.
It was not until the end that she realized that the long description of appearance was a foreshadowing.
Dugu Yue is a woman disguised as a man.
Second, Dugu Yue has a relationship with the cold and elegant national teacher.
Thinking of this, Nan Yingzhi felt even more strange.
Dugu Yue is a woman and there is no possibility for her to marry the princess, so why would she wade into this muddy water?
Could it be that he wanted to seek advice from someone with great martial arts skills?
Originally, after receiving Yun Ting's order, Yang Ling stretched his muscles to show off his skills.
Unexpectedly, before he could get up, he was intercepted by someone.
Seeing the delicate skin and tender flesh of the man in green, he became even more angry.
How can a martial artist achieve such a fair complexion? This shows that this person must be a mere show-off!
After comforting himself, Yang Ling took a deep breath, waved his spear, shouted loudly, and rushed to the stage.
Originally, Yun Yan saw someone appear and her eyes moved. When she saw Yang Ling's dark skin, she said nothing and slowly looked away.
Compared to him, the "pretty boy" on the stage is more pleasing to the eye.
With the attitude that Dugu Yue was just bluffing, Yang Ling stabbed her with a gun, hoping to make a big splash.
But before he could hand over his weapon, Dugu Yue had already flashed behind him and kicked him in the knee.
Before he could recover, Yang Ling staggered a few steps and nearly fell.
He was just about to use his spear to steady his body when he suddenly felt a chill in his throat.
When he lowered his head, he suddenly discovered that a sharp sword was across his fragile neck.
As for the fact that he survived, it was all thanks to Dugu Yue showing mercy.
"Go away," Dugu Yue said coldly, moving the sword away. "You are no match for me."
Yang Ling felt his face getting hot as he had never been defeated so quickly.
Thinking of Yun Ting's instructions to him, he refused to give up. He threw down his spear and shouted angrily: "Don't be complacent. I just underestimated the enemy. If you have the guts, let's throw away our weapons and fight naked!"
Seeing that Yang Ling was not giving in, Dugu Yue began to fight.
She sheathed the sword and sneered, "If you insist on dying, I will grant your wish!"
Looking at the arena, Dugu Yue and Yang Ling were fighting fiercely, and Yun Yan's face showed a bit of anxiety.
It was clearly agreed that Lou Yi would come, stand on the stage until the end, and marry her. Why didn't he meet anyone else?
Seeing that the situation was one-sided, Nan Yingzhi silently looked away.
Dugu Yue's kung fu was far superior to Yang Ling's, but Yang Ling didn't take her life for a long time, only because he was too playful.
This behavior is really like a cat teasing a mouse.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye and suddenly noticed a strange man appearing among the crowd who were holding their breath.
He was dressed in black and had a hood on his head, so his face couldn't be seen clearly.
As if he was oblivious to the fierce fighting going on in the ring, he went upstream and walked towards the ring alone.
