Two young men, one fat and one thin, who looked like contestants, walked towards the senior sisters and brothers. ???bi quge? ??
"Are you the 'number one newcomer' being boasted by those gamblers?" the fat young man asked scornfully.
Ding Kui narrowed his eyes at the two uninvited guests and said in a lazy tone: "I'm talking to my senior sister. I'm not interested in meeting people I don't want to do anything with."
"Oh, that's pretty cool. Do you know who we are? I'm afraid I'll make you cry if I tell you." said the thinner young man.
"Didn't you hear what my junior brother said? He has no interest in getting to know you unknown people." Zheng Yun was very unhappy when two hateful-looking people interrupted their conversation.
"Unknown people? Us? Haha, I just don't know if your strength is as strong as your words. I am Lu Jun, the deputy general of Pingzhong County, and he is Peng Hui, the deputy general of Shanyin City.
Don't think that there is only Yan Wei in the county and Peng Shu in Shanyin. The two of us can easily defeat you.
Aren't you just a trainee knight in the later period? Hahaha, I was already one half a year ago. Others are afraid of your 'fixed light sword', but my Lu family's 'Spring and Autumn Sword' is worthy of you." The fat young man said with an arrogant expression.
Lu Jun is the son of the shopkeeper of Lu's Chamber of Commerce in Pingzhong County. It is said that he has the blood of King Lu's royal family.
"Look at the virtue of their president, it's like he found a treasure. He may not know that we really found a treasure, hahaha." Peng Hui from Shanyin City laughed.
"Yes, yes, I'm afraid you don't know yet. Those gamblers outside have offered a reward. If you beat you once, you can receive a bonus of 20,000 gold coins." Lu Jun glanced at Zheng Yun.
"Do you think we are here to get to know you? We are just here to see 20,000 gold coins." Peng Hui said with disdain.
"Are these two like the original Ouyang Chong and Cai Gang?" Ding Kui asked Zheng Yun with a smile, without even looking at Lu Jun and Peng Hui.
"Hahaha, like. It seems that they are assigned to the same group as their junior brothers. Ouyang Chong and Cai Gang are my senior brothers after all. You don't have to hold back against these two people."
Seeing Ding Kui ignoring them, Lu Jun might have felt bored. He snorted coldly and said, "I will teach you a lesson tomorrow and let you know that there are many powerful people in this world. How can you still be a member of the 'Bai San' group?" I can't get in line." After saying that, Lu Jun and Peng Hui walked away.
Seeing the two people leaving, Zheng Yun said to Ding Kui a little worriedly: "They seem to have come prepared. Junior brother, you should be careful."
"Senior sister, don't worry, junior brother, I promise not to beat or cry them." Ding Kui was full of confidence.
There are not many players like Lu Jun and Peng Hui who challenge their opponents before the game, because the group stage of the county competition adopts a round-robin competition system, and players in a group must play once.
Only the player who defeats the most opponents in the group will be ranked first in the group.
As soon as the first round of battle begins, the strength of all players will basically be exposed, and players who are strong enough can hide part of their strength.
On October 5, 4869, before dawn, the gate of the Pingzhong County Knights Association was dark and crowded with people coming to watch the game.
Watching the knight competition is not free, everyone who enters the guild must pay ten copper coins.
These ten copper coins are only the fee for entering the county guild, and there is no guarantee that you will be able to watch the game. When you arrive at the outside of the competition venue, you can pay another ten to fifty copper coins to board the stands in different areas.
Only in the stands can you be sure to see the players competing, and even if you leave for a while, you can still come back.
At the edge of the playing field and in the area outside the cordon, spectators can stand and watch the game, but if you want to squeeze back in after leaving, it is unlikely.
The group stage of the Cavaliers Tournament lasts for one day, divided into two halves, one round each. In other words, each player has to play two games a day, and can take a break and eat something in between.
The "First Stage of the National Youth Knight Competition" is to test the comprehensive strength of the players and allow these young knights to exert their full strength.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the door of the County Knights Guild opened, and with the cooperation of officers and soldiers from the Public Security Department, the surging flow of people was channeled into the guild.
Ding Kun took Lu Ying, Jiang Nan and the Ding family out at eight o'clock and walked towards the side door of the county guild.
All civilians go through the main door, and the side door of the county guild is only open to nobles and people with status.
After passing the side gate, we had to walk another five or six hundred meters to reach the main gate, but Lu Ying saw that the tail of the queue had already reached the side gate.
"How many people are there in line here?" Lu Ying asked curiously.
"I have asked people in the Knights Guild these days. In each session, there are at least 30,000 people who enter the guild to watch the group matches. There are only about 20,000 people who can actually watch the game in the stands and on the sidelines, and at least 10,000 people.
People are waiting outside to watch the game." Jiang Shunchuan responded to Lu Ying's words.
The County Knights Guild built a special area on the front of one side of the stand as a podium, specially provided for nobles and officials from all over the country, including their families.
The protector of the country, Ding Qi, himself did not arrive, and Ding Kui was participating in the competition again, so the area allocated to the Ding family was further to the side.
After all, almost all the nobles in the county are here, and there is really not enough space.
The game officially started at nine o'clock, and at 8:30 the stands were already full of people. Outside the cordon, the temporary area for standing and watching was also full of people, basically tiptoe-to-heel, looking for someone who could insert one.
There is no room for feet.
Fuji Yan, as the chief referee of this competition, sat on the high platform where the lottery was drawn yesterday. Along with him were the presidents of the knight guilds in each city.
Teng Xiang and Long Shen sat on the podium and watched the game with the governor Teng Shun.
Fujishun saw Ji Ren, who was a few seats away from him, and took the initiative to call out: "City Master Ji, your son will definitely win the first place this time, and there is also Ba Xi, who is ranked fifth in the 'Top Ten Masters'. You guys are so proud."
Yamashiro is expected to be ranked number one in the Knights Guild again."
"Thank you Lord Sheriff for your kind words, but the competition hasn't started yet, and it's hard to tell the result until the end." Ji Ren didn't dare to be proud in front of Fuji Falcon, so he dealt with it cautiously.
"City Master Ji is too modest. There are two people from Wuyang Mountain City in the top ten of the 'Top Ten Masters'. You can add twenty points to the two state competition places. The ranking of the first guild is certain." Teng Xiang also touted beside him.
stand up.
The Ji family in Yangshan City has been suppressing the Teng family for more than ten years in a row. The Teng family naturally feels uncomfortable, but it does no harm to the Teng family to hold the Ji family up high before the game.
If something unexpected happens and the Ji family fails to keep the first place ranking, even if the Teng family doesn't make it, they can still take a good look at Ji's responsibility after the game.
"President Teng, please don't flatter me. Yan Wei and Lu Jun from Guicheng are also top-notch players. It will be easy for them to enter the top ten." Ji Ren knew it in his heart and did not dare to be so high-profile.
