People on and off the field saw the new team and read out their flags and titles.
"Qi? Who is it?"
"Which one of us is the best here?"
"What is Ching Hai?"
Ordinary people do not recognize curious inquiries, while well-informed and well-known people have begun to whisper.
"Qing Navy? Is it the Qing Navy?"
"Of course, there is no other Qing navy in the world whose surname is Qi."
"Why did the soldiers and horses from the Southeast Road arrive at our Taiyuan Mansion?"
"Haven't you heard? Governor Xiang's great victory some time ago was in cooperation with Governor Qi of Southeast Road."
"Then does this Qing navy live in..."
The discussion soon stopped. Behind the troop of soldiers and horses, several women from the Xiang family appeared in front of everyone, surrounded by a young woman.
The woman is tall, gorgeously dressed, and wears a gauze hat on her head, covering her face.
Nowadays, women like to cover their faces. This trend seems to have come from Huainan Road.
The woman looked around, talking to the people of the Xiang family, and then looked at the high platform. The Xiang family hesitated a little, but she had already strode towards the high platform.
The women on the high platform looked at the people approaching. An elder sister-in-law of the Xiang family stepped forward first.
"Xian'er." She had a good relationship with Li Mingqi and called her by her nickname, looking helpless and embarrassed. "Miss Qi said she wanted to come and take a look."
The women on the high platform all retreated to Li Mingqi, now looking at Miss Qi in silence.
Li Mingqi said: "Come as soon as you come, why bother in such a hurry? It would be better to say hello earlier."
Without Xiang's sister-in-law to say anything, Qi Acheng curtsied and said, "It's my fault. I made an impromptu decision and didn't tell the eldest lady in advance."
If you do things simply, what's the use of admitting your mistakes? Li Mingqi curled her lips slightly.
Qi Acheng ignored her and looked at the high platform casually, "The young lady is so elegant." "The decoration here is so nice." She spoke on her own, her eyes stopping in front of the jade plate placed on the stage.
She stretched out her finger and pointed one, two, three... and counted to ten, then smiled: "I came in a hurry, I don't have my plate."
Li Mingqi didn't speak, and neither did the other women. The Xiang family's sister-in-law wanted to speak but was too embarrassed to do so...
No one said to bring a plate.
Qi Acheng was not in a hurry or annoyed. He bent down and reached out to grab a lotus leaf from the lotus vat and placed it on the jade plate.
"Then let me use this one." She said, taking off a bracelet from her hand and about to throw it in...
This bracelet is round, heavy, and golden. It can flatten the lotus leaf when you put it in it.
Li Mingqi said: "Miss Qi, Xiao Qi Yiqing, your bet is too expensive. If you act like this, we can't place the bet."
Qi Acheng said oh, took the gold bracelet back to his hand, and took off a small fish jade pendant from his waist.
"This isn't worth it," she said, flicking Li Mingqi, "Is this OK?"
Li Mingqi didn't stop her anymore, took off the golden hairpin from her head and said, "Since Miss Qi wants to play, it can't be the same as before."
Qi Acheng looked at her: "How do you want to play, young lady?"
Li Mingqi said: "Of course you and I will end first. After all, we are all guards. Let everyone see and have a good idea. This is only fair."
"Okay." Qi Acheng put the jade pendant into the lotus leaf and smiled proudly, "I'm not boasting, I bet that our family will win."
Li Mingqi didn't say anything to boast, and threw the gold hairpin into the plate marked Jiannan Dao Li. The women on the high platform all came to life, and they threw the gold, silver, Zhu Chai and jade pendants that they had already held in their hands into the plate with Li Mingqi.
On the plate of Jiannan Road...
Li Mingqi said to the steward standing aside: "Go ahead and tell the people below to make arrangements."
The steward responded to the order and left. The other soldiers and horses in the competition ground quickly dispersed, leaving only these two soldiers and horses.
He did not introduce himself too much, just like other times, he stood on both sides of the competition field, and with the sound of gongs and drums, the competition began.
The first game was very simple, with queues and formations.
The people outside the venue have seen too much, and the novelty has faded away. Although the formation of the real guards is shocking, they can't help but be distracted, especially the Southeast Road guards who suddenly appeared today.
Everyone was not interested in its queue, but they were interested in why it came here. The identity of the woman who stepped onto the high platform also spread.
She is the daughter of Qi Shan, the governor of Southeast Road, and the eldest daughter of the Qi family.
Someone even went to ask the Xiang family, and the Xiang family admitted it, saying that the eldest daughter of the Qi family lived in the Xiang family. As for why she lived in the Xiang family, no one answered.
But this does not affect everyone's surprise and envy.
"Another eldest lady lives in the Xiang family."
"Miss Li married into the Xiang family, why did Miss Qi marry into the Xiang family? Could it be..."
"Maybe because our Taiyuan Mansion is safe, Governor Qi sent his daughter here for refuge."
"Isn't our Taiyuan Prefecture closer to the rebels?"
There were noisy discussions outside the field, and they didn't care to look at the soldiers and horses in the field. It wasn't until the horses' hooves stamped, roaring, and the ground shook with the collision of swords and guns that everyone looked over in astonishment...
The formation of the formation has ended, and now the two sides of the formation have begun a battle to win by grabbing the main flag in their respective formations.
Phalanxes composed of fifty men from each side collided with each other, and their spears and shields burst into flames.
So intense...
For a moment, everyone around stopped talking and stared at the field, where the killing was chaotic and orderly.
Several pikemen from Southeast Road besieged a shield soldier from Jiannan Road. The shield soldier retreated step by step, blocked the spear with his shield, and overturned two of the opponents. However, he was defeated in the end and his shield was knocked off.
The shields and armors used for martial arts performances are real, but the knives are unedged and the spears are all wrapped with cloth. The spears without spearheads pierce the shields and then pierce the armor of the opponent's soldiers. The opponent's soldiers are considered
If you lose, you can stop and leave...
The shield soldier from Jiannan Road admitted defeat. The shield in his hand fell to the ground, and he stopped his posture and prepared to sit on the ground...
But the headless spear did not lose its strength after picking through the shield, and it did not pierce the armor. With a pop, the spear sank into the throat...
The bent shield soldier raised his head in disbelief, held the spear at his throat with both hands, and made a coughing sound.
With a pop, the spear was pulled out, bringing with it splashes of blood that were dazzling in the sunlight.
The quiet people's eyes widened, they pressed their chests with their hands, and screamed with all their strength as their hearts contracted, shaking the mountains.
"Killed!"
The women sitting among the lotuses on the high platform, chatting and laughing, also screamed. Some got up and ran, and some hugged each other. The running wind and the screams made the lotus leaves sway violently like a storm.
In martial arts battles, although knives have no sharp edges and guns have no heads, fierce collisions and falls can lead to injuries, and injuries from weapons are also common.
In every scene, there are injuries and bleeding, and there are many people who have broken arms and legs and are carried off.
But dead people, no, to be precise, killing people is the first time.
Li Mingqi stood up and shouted angrily: "How to kill someone?"
Qi Acheng stood among the lotus leaves and lotus swaying in the wind and rain, with his hands behind his back. He turned around after hearing the words: "Isn't it normal for two armies to fight against each other?"
