Fortunately for Feng Yanghou

The woman on the stage looked elegant, and the attendants who responded immediately stepped off the stage to distribute the pre-prepared number plates.

The people below were in order. After taking their number plates, they retreated to both sides of the street and waited quietly.

Patrolling the streets are the respected old priests in the town.The old priest ordered people to lay down the thick colored rope wrapped around it. Soon, two burly women stood on the opposite side. The rope swayed.

The colorful rope hit the ground with a muffled sound, making the neon lights swaying in mid-air a little dangerous. It opened its teeth and claws, trying to swallow up all the jumping figures.

He and Ji took different number plates respectively, and with puzzled faces, they stood in the crowd and watched the battle of "Dancing Rope Fighting Art".

Under such a grand occasion, it seemed a bit abrupt if they turned around and left.

He and Ji looked at each other, the emotions in his eyes were hidden in the dim lights, and he stopped in place tacitly, watching the changes.

He lowered his voice and asked the people around him about the rules of rope dancing and fighting, and it took him a while to get a general idea.

In this rope dancing art, all the people who are drawn to come forward will be in groups of two, wearing masks, and the two groups will compete in a confrontational situation. The competition can be swords or poetry; no matter what form it is , all until the colored rope is stopped, and the opponent is forced out of the range of the dancing rope before the trip stops, and the winner is won; if no one loses after the trip stops, it is considered a draw.

Seeing that the rope dancers were deliberately speeding up the rope, many duel groups were tripped by the colored rope, or they had made a draw when they were almost exhausted, so he turned his face and couldn't help but look at Ji next to him, a little Difficult, "This 'rope dancing' is really extremely difficult to win. I don't know, what kind of prize did this Wuqi Guoshi prepare for this?"

Night has fallen, even though it is very easy to distinguish the movement of the colored rope under the shining lights, it is still impossible to seize the best time to defeat the opponent.

He continued to focus on the colorful ropes flying like ghosts, Ji raised his elbows, but he was not at all worried that he would be caught by mere ropes.

Ji has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and when it comes to swords, spears, swords and halberds, who can boast that he can rival Ji?

Ji couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and glanced at a group of people who were still jumping on the street.

"My lord, is the competition going to continue?"

The woman sitting on the Qiong Tower sat the highest, overlooking the street for a week. The three sticks of incense had been burned, but no one could resist the killing power of the colored rope and stood out.

"Let the last two groups go up." This time, Qin Miao personally pulled out two groups from the jade plate on which the number plate was placed, "Go and announce."

Before Qin Miao finished speaking, the surrounding waiters were full of surprise.

When Qin Miao's words fell to the ground, the petite woman standing behind immediately bowed and raised her eyebrows, and shouted out all the numbers she had just drawn to everyone downstairs.

"We were drawn."

"Usually the competition is terminated when the three sticks of incense are burned out, but today is strange."

He and Ji heard someone in the crowd murmur suspiciously, and then smiled at each other, "It seems that we are partners now."

He followed Ji and slowly walked out of the crowd. In the open space below the stage, stood a man and a woman. Although they were wearing masks, it was not difficult to see that they were a couple with deep affection.

He held hands and said, "I don't know what you two want to compete with?"

On the opposite side, the young woman in Xueyue tassel skirt bowed her hands in return, "I'm not talented, can you win or lose with a sword?"

Seeing the heroic figure of the woman who drew out her sword, he said calmly, "You two, please enlighten me."

After all, the rope dancer shook the rope again.

Among the almost dazzling neon lights, the four of them whirled in for the first time.

He and Ji each took the swords thrown by the guards, held their breath, and waited and watched the actions of the two on the other side.

Beside the woman, a man in a snow-colored brocade robe covered his face with a mask, his two-finger-wide hairband fluttered with the wind, and a pair of eyes full of autumn colors burst out with the belief that he must win. The sword comes.

Sword flowers swirled——he took advantage of the situation to meet him, and the long sword in his hand collided with the man's soft sword like a hundred flowers flying.

Seeing this, Ji stared, avoiding the colorful rope, and swung his sword to stop the man's stabbing move. He didn't speak, but showed a cold enough smile, completely frightening the man who suddenly withdrew his sword.

Taking advantage of the situation, he dodged back and turned to one side, but saw Ji Zheng, who could easily get close to him, swung a sword at the man.

"Zheng!" A faint light splashed from the blade of the sword.

Ji raised his eyes, and the woman who was waiting for an opportunity grabbed the man who was shaken away by the sword energy with one hand, and drew her sword to resist Ji's moves.

"Sure enough, he is a master of swords!" The woman frowned and said to the man wearing the Taotie mask.

Hearing this, he replied from the bottom of his heart: This is not the weapon that Ji is good at, Ji is best at wielding knives.

He thought about hooking his lips, and wanted to take advantage of his unpreparedness to attack him sideways, but the man who had been paying attention to him early in the morning turned around and blocked his way with a sword.

"In this competition, only those who have a tacit understanding will win."

Upstairs in the Qiong Tower, Qin Miao stared at the four people in the audience, and then looked forward. The follower took a step behind, and when he passed the jade plate with the number plate, he stopped suddenly, "Master, you deliberately put the four people together. A number plate is marked, why?"

The confused woman picked up one of them and asked sideways.

Holding the warm white porcelain cup, Qin Miao didn't turn around, just smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll know soon."

When Qin Miao finished speaking, the four people in the audience confronted each other for too long, and they were exhausted.

"The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows." He suddenly approached Ji and said softly.

Ji Si and the deep meaning in it, immediately kept his back facing posture, moved and changed shadows, and hid behind him.

Ji Yijian flew in, the woman had a bad way, and immediately turned sideways back, but the man on the opposite side panicked when he saw this, and tried his best to block the woman in front of her.

"Be careful!" The woman couldn't protect her, she stretched out her hand to grab the man's arm, and at a moment's notice, he swung his sword and knocked off the mask on the woman's face.

The mask slipped off, revealing an impeccable face with cool brows.

The woman hugged the man in her arms and slowly fell to the ground, the colored rope was tripped and stopped.

"Both of them won."

While the woman nodded solemnly, there was thunderous applause everywhere.

Upstairs Qiong, the unbelievable entourage stared and exclaimed, a little dumbfounded: "King Ying?...Didn't King Ying go to travel around the world, why did he come back suddenly?"

Could it be that this time, Master Guoshi came to the border town specially to welcome King Ying back to the country?Then, who are these other two people, who can make Master Guoshi look at each other differently...

The follower squinted his eyes and looked out.

Under the stage, the old priest rang the last gong, and he immediately stepped forward, with a humble and polite gesture, "Accept."

Behind him, Ji withdrew his long sword, followed him to make peace with the two people on the opposite side.

"You two, please go to Qionglou."

He and Ji were led to the bottom of Qionglou by the guards, climbed up the stairs, and saw a beautiful and beautiful woman at the highest point of Qionglou.

"The national teacher is polite." He didn't kneel down, but just nodded slightly to show respect, while Ji didn't move at all.

The entourage was slightly sullen upon seeing this.

At this time, a clear laughter like a clear spring and flowing stone suddenly sounded in front of him, "The two young masters have extraordinary bearing, and Qin admires it."

"The two won the first place and won the championship. Qin will have his own prize to give away." After Qin Miao said, a follower brought a jade plate by his side, and a square shape was placed in the jade plate. small wooden box.

He took the wooden box and was about to open it, but Qin Miao, who took a sip of tea, stopped him immediately.

"Young master, why don't you open it after leaving the town to find out? Qin has a relationship with the two young masters. This wooden box is regarded as a token of Qin's gift to the two young masters. It will be useful in the future. Please remember, this wooden box contains Yes, it's called 'Playing Cards'. As for the usefulness, the young master will naturally realize it when the time comes."

What Qin Miao said made the two feel suspicious.

However, before they had any further questions, the woman in front of her suddenly lowered a veil, blocking their eyes from the back screen.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning light came in, outlining the shadows of the window casements on the ground.

He packed up his luggage and opened the door. Outside the inn, Ji, who had brought his horse over early in the morning, was standing outside the threshold and staring at the shopkeeper.

The town meeting is over, except for an extra wooden box and mask in the luggage, what is left is just a short-lived dream.

There is still one night before the epiphyllum blooms, but the itinerary of crossing the border cannot be put on hold.

Ji Yue got on the horse, and he stepped on the stirrups and followed closely.

The horse galloped, and the ground was full of smoke and dust. Qin Miao, who had set up the window lattice on Qionglou, raised his head, just in time to see the sunlight refracting the two of them into a dazzling shadow, elongated.

He watched the willow catkins drifting away in the wind in the twilight of the sun, and raised his jaw slightly, "Ji, what is the purpose of the wooden box that Wuqi Guoshi gave you?"

He didn't read too much from Qin Miao's eyes. Qin Miao, as Wuqi Guoshi, was very good at hiding his emotions, which made him unable to guess the answer.
