The joint martial arts competition in Lingzhou Prefecture is about to begin, and the Lin family will naturally participate.
However, the number of people in the Lin family is really too small. There are only five disciples of the younger generation. Compared with the dozen or so disciples from other martial arts schools or aristocratic families, it seems a bit too poor.
Moreover, during the competition, the number of disciples from each family must be even, otherwise there will inevitably be a bye. In order to prevent this situation, they originally made a rule that the number of disciples must be even before they can compete.
The Lin family is already small in number, do we need to reduce the number by one?
Lin Wancheng was also a little worried, and a servant suggested: "Sir, why don't you let Master Lin Qing join in? By adding him, we can make up six people."
Lin Wancheng frowned subconsciously and wanted to refuse, but he thought that Lin Qing had been studying with that nonsense teacher for more than half a year and had learned nothing. It would be fine to just let him go out and make up for it. He wouldn't be able to cause any trouble anyway.
.
With this in mind, Lin Wancheng asked his servants to notify Lin Qing to participate in this competition.
Fang Qiaohua couldn't hide her joy after receiving the news. She was just an ordinary woman, and she didn't have so many calculations in her heart. In her opinion, Lin Qing could participate in a joint martial arts competition between Lingzhou Prefecture and Lin Qing.
It is undoubtedly an honor.
"Ah Qing, go tell your teacher the news and ask him to give you more guidance before the battle." Fang Qiaohua instructed.
Lin Qing nodded blankly, then shook his head and said: "No, the teacher is in retreat now, so I can't let others disturb me, but it doesn't matter, I can win even if the teacher is not here."
Fang Qiaohua touched Lin Qing's head lovingly. She didn't expect Lin Qing to get a good ranking in the competition, as long as she didn't embarrass the Lin family.
If they showed their faces a little bit, their mother and son's life in the Lin family would be easier.
The next day, the joint martial arts competition in Lingzhou Prefecture officially began. Even if it was a competition held in a small prefecture, the scene was not small. There were as many as five or six thousand people, young disciples sent by various schools.
In total, there were hundreds of people.
The arena on the long street in the center of Lingzhou Mansion has been set up and is surrounded by warriors from all major forces.
There are only three people in the highest position, and one of them is the attention of Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, the innate martial artist ‘Ben Lei Sword’ Nie Yuan.
The other two people are Qiu Ming, the head of the Shengyuan Escort Agency, and Li Hesheng, the head of the Li family.
These three people are currently the only three innate realm warriors in Lingzhou Mansion, so they are naturally qualified to sit in the highest position.
Looking at the young warriors coming from all the major forces, Qiu Ming stroked his beard and said, "Brother Nie and Brother Li, your two families are going to be in the limelight this time.
Brother Nie, your grandson is only thirteen years old, but he has already broken through the early stage of acquired life. Brother Li, the one in your family killed a fierce bandit when he was less than twelve years old, which is even more remarkable."
Among the three major forces in Lingzhou Prefecture, his Shengyuan Escort Agency is the most uncontested, because his Escort Agency only recruits adult escorts. He has no interest in participating in the battles of these junior disciples. This time he competes with others.
I came just to watch the excitement, and no one was sent to participate at all.
Listening to Qiu Ming's compliment, Nie Yuan and Li Hesheng both smiled and said nothing, but secretly they were already secretly competing, preparing to see who would train the stronger disciple this year.
The young disciples brought by the many forces were drawn in random order, and Lin Qing also started to draw and rank them in order along with other disciples of the Lin family.
The main force of the Lin family this time is Lin Sheng, the son of Lin Wancheng and Nie Hanmei.
At the age of thirteen, he reached the early stage of acquired life. In addition, Nie Yuan had no children. It can be said that he put all his efforts into cultivating this grandson. As a result, Lin Sheng could be said to be the leader among the younger generation of the Lin family.
The other disciples of the Lin family are all the distant relatives of Lin Wancheng brother. They are not highly valued and their strength is mediocre. At this time, they all gathered around Lin Sheng and complimented him endlessly.
Although they are not very old, they also know that Lin Sheng will definitely be the head of the Lin family in the future, and they will not go wrong if they establish a good relationship with him now.
At this time, one of the disciples of the Lin family saw that Lin Qing was following them stupidly to draw the lottery. He couldn't help but sneered: "Lin Qing, you haven't even learned a set of swordsmanship from the Lin family, and you dare to participate."
This competition?"
Lin Qing was stunned and said: "I have learned everything."
The other Lin family members suddenly burst into laughter and mocked him mercilessly.
Now everyone in the Lin family knows that Lin Wancheng is the head of the Lin family, and this mother and son are a thorn in his side. Even these young Lin family members know how to treat the brothers Lin Sheng and Lin Qing.
Lin Sheng waved his hand and said: "Okay, stop laughing, let's start drawing lots."
There was a look of pride on his face, and he didn't take Lin Qing seriously at all.
If Lin Qing's father Lin Wanze was still alive, the position of the next generation head of the Lin family would probably belong to Lin Qing.
But now, Lin Qing is basically useless. He only holds the title of a legitimate son of the Lin family, but it is of no use at all.
Lin Sheng didn't even bother to suppress this kind of person who posed no threat to him.
A group of young warriors put their hands into the box and started to draw lots. A warrior from the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall stood in the middle of the ring and loudly shouted: "Two warriors will fight on the 23rd!"
The two warriors who drew lottery number 23 at the same time immediately walked to the ring and began to compete.
The competition between these low-level warriors is really not interesting. They are all under the age of fifteen. In Lingzhou Prefecture, those whose age has exceeded the early stage of acquired life are rare.
Seeing these low-level warriors using their moves in detail, the people in the stands were a little bored. On the contrary, the junior warriors were watching with great interest and were still cheering for their own people.
"Two warriors go to battle on the 37th."
On the Lin family side, Lin Sheng and Lin Qing took a step forward at the same time. Everyone was stunned to see that these two people of the same clan were actually drawn together.
But it's normal to think about it. There are as many as ten warriors sent by these forces to participate in the competition. The Lin family has at least six warriors. There is still a high chance that one of their own will be drawn.
Lin Sheng said calmly: "Lin Qing, don't waste time, you can abstain."
His words were not very arrogant, but rather natural.
This situation has happened many times in the history of previous competitions. When warriors from the same force were drawn together, most of them would have one person abstain voluntarily.
It’s pointless to fight if everyone comes out of the same gate, and it takes a lot of energy to fight on stage, which is detrimental to the subsequent competition, so under normal circumstances the weaker side will simply abstain.
But Lin Qing still thought about his mother's instructions and wanted to win glory for her in the competition, so he shook his head and said: "No, I will not abstain."
The expressions of Lin Sheng and other Lin family disciples suddenly changed. They did not expect Lin Qing to be so ignorant.
"Lin Qing! This is related to the face of my Lin family. Stop messing around and get back here!" Lin Sheng shouted.
Lin Qing still shook his head and said: "No, I must participate in the competition."
The commotion they made here was quite loud. Lin Wancheng immediately came over and said, "Lin Qing, what are you doing? Do you know that you have to take the overall situation into consideration?"
You are a disciple of my Lin family, and Lin Sheng is also a disciple of my Lin family. Which one of you two is different on stage?
If you insist on fighting Lin Sheng without abstaining, you will only waste his energy in vain and let other forces take advantage!"
The last sentence Lin Wancheng said was very harsh and he wanted to intimidate Lin Qing.
But although Lin Qing had a fearful expression on his face, he still stubbornly shook his head and refused.
Seeing his appearance, Lin Wancheng was so angry that he wanted to take action. He simply shot himself in the foot.
If he hadn't decided to add Lin Qing to the competition list, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
And Lin Wancheng believed that Lin Qing definitely did it on purpose.
This kid was clearly seeking revenge on him and the Lin family for the injustice they had done to his mother and son over the years.
This guy seems honest and honest, but he is very scheming!
At this time, Li He, who was sitting on the high platform, said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Brother Nie, what do you mean? Shouldn't the competition be in the ring? Why do I feel that your good son-in-law wants to do it below the ring now?"
Nie Yuan's face was livid, and he snorted coldly: "Come back! Let them go to the ring to compete!"
Lin Wancheng retracted his hand angrily and let Lin Sheng and Lin Qing board the ring.
Nie Yuan glared at him fiercely. This son-in-law has always been this ineffective.
At first, he originally wanted to marry his daughter to his eldest brother Lin Wanze. Lin Wanze, who died early, was of top quality in terms of both strength and character, and was a calm man.
But it's a pity that Lin Wanze is too old. He only has one daughter and he doesn't want to wrong her. Besides, Lin Wanze married three wives in succession and all died unexpectedly. This is very evil, so Nie Yuan married his daughter to
Lin Wanze's younger brother Lin Wancheng.
It's a pity that this guy is so far behind compared to his elder brother, he is just like a pile of mud that cannot be lifted up.
Lin Sheng stepped onto the stage and said in a gloomy tone: "Lin Qing, since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
He originally didn't want to be acquainted with Lin Qing, but Lin Qing actually insisted on going on stage to fight with him, draining his energy, and doing things that were harmful to others and not self-interested. So don't blame him for not caring about brotherhood.
As the referee from the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall shouted, Lin Sheng immediately charged forward with a long sword in his hand. The sword was as majestic as the wind, like a rainbow penetrating the sun, hitting Lin Qing's chest!
Everyone present was immediately in an uproar.
Although Lin Sheng only used the entry-level swordsmanship of the Lin family, there were also several killer moves in it.
Now Lin Sheng was using one of the killing moves, with a murderous intent and no hold back at all.
Isn't it a bit too much for brothers of the same race to use such a heavy hand in a competition? (To be continued.)
