Although only young people under the age of thirty-five from Yinren Village can participate in the martial arts competition, it is also a grand event held once every year in Luoye County.
Every time there is a big competition, representatives and caravans from surrounding villages, towns and counties will come to Yinren Village. As for the purpose, they all have their own agendas.
Some people want to congratulate and give gifts through the martial arts competition and get closer to Yinren Village; some want to learn about the strength of Yinren Village through the martial arts competition; there are even businessmen who want to make money by opening the market through the martial arts competition.
"His second sister-in-law, I heard this morning that the little drunkard at the Dizi Conference Hall won a lot along the way!" said a young woman wearing a long gown.
"I heard that this year's martial arts competition, a lot of kids came. The oldest one is twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest one is only eight or nine years old, but they are very powerful!" replied the older woman next to him.
At this time, the young woman's man came back. Hearing a few fragments of the women's discussion, he smiled and joked: "Who do you think is better? Xiufang, are you praising me?"
The young woman named Xiu Fang blushed and spat at the man:
"We are talking about the few brats who participated in the martial arts competition during the day! Are you the only one? You are useless and not as good as those kids!"
The man didn't care about the woman's ridicule, and started talking about the duels in the martial arts competition.
"Isn't that true? I heard that because the brats performed so well in this martial arts competition, there was a handicap over Chunfeng River! Who will be the champion of these twelve arenas in the end? Who can win in the competition?
Then came out on top in the home game?" the man said excitedly.
"Are those few boys and girls going to compete to play the role of the Twelve Masters of Wu? Although they are quite powerful, they are so young after all, and today is only their first day, can they do it?" the young woman asked with a look of doubt.
"Twelve masters of martial arts, as long as they participate in the martial arts competition, they will have the opportunity to compete. After all, if you defend a ring for three days, you can become the master of this ring. For ordinary strong men, there is basically no chance of doing this. I think these kids can do it.
Just show off today and hold on until tomorrow. After all, you are young and your body cannot recover, so there is no chance." The man also didn't think much of these brats.
When the young woman heard that Chunfeng Hena had opened the handicap, she became interested and asked: "Who has the greatest chance of winning now?"
"The drunkard kid you just mentioned and a few brats are on the board, but the one with the greatest chance of winning now should be Qi Chengcheng from the ugly group." The man recalled while stroking the short beard on his chin.
explain.
The middle-aged woman next to her, who was called the second sister-in-law, answered: "That's for sure, I went to watch that game. That young man fought cleanly in several games, and the game with the second son of the Dong family in the south of the village was even more disappointing.
Someone made a crime!"
"What? The second brother of the Dong family lost? He is a bodyguard in iron clothes! I heard that the second brother Dong wants to compete for the captain of the bodyguard iron clothes this time!" The man muttered in disbelief: "Kung fu at the peak of the realm of power.
Ah, no ten or eight years of hard work can compare to that? That kid started practicing martial arts right from the womb!"
The middle-aged woman replied: "Here's the wonderful thing. In fact, that young man only has the internal energy level at the peak of the Qi Realm, but he is very good at qinggong. He happened to meet Dong Lao'er who was doing great things. You can beat the two of them.
As I went, no one could do anything to anyone. Until the end, the doll handed out a sword, as fast as lightning. Dong Laoer had no time to parry, so he could only block it with an axe. But..." At this point, the middle-aged man said
The woman paused slightly.
He added: "It's just that I didn't see it clearly at the time. Later, I heard from martial arts experts that although the sword hit the axe, the man dodged to Dong Laoer's side. Dong Laoer used the giant ax to block and didn't check for a moment.
, when he reacted, he was immediately kicked out of the field with a body bounce."
The woman in the long gown shook her head and sighed: "At such a young age, I have such a strong sense of fighting. But Dong Laoer was defeated by a kick to the leg?"
The middle-aged woman also sighed: "Both Dong and Lao were fine. They gave up after being kicked out. They probably felt that their opponents were difficult to deal with. They couldn't fight to the death on the first day of the martial arts competition. After all, it was just a duel and a plan.
The gap can be caught up later."
The three of them were discussing like this while walking towards the store in the village.
At the time of the martial arts competition, the caravans from the surrounding villages brought a lot of good things. The people in Yinren Village were all trained in arts, and they had some skills. Ordinary people would occasionally receive some "pay list" subsidies.
It is for household use, so I have some money on hand.
It’s a prosperous time like this that only happens every few years, so it’s natural to go shopping and do some shopping.
It’s just that the various speculations and discussions about the martial arts competition will be the talk of the people after dinner for some time in the future——
Dividing line--
Luoye County.
Luoye County can only be regarded as a second-class county in Luoyun Kingdom, but the scale of Luoye City is also the leading city in the western region of Luoyun Kingdom.
Fallen Leaf City.
The city wall of Luoye City is 12 feet high, and the entire city has a hexagonal layout, which is different from ordinary rectangular towns. There are six city gates in the south, north, southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest. They are all built inside the city gates.
There is an urn city. Both sides of the urn city are connected with the city wall. There are arrow towers, gate gates, battlements and other defensive facilities built on the hanging feet.
At this time, there were several people standing by the battlement of the southwest city gate. The man in the lead looked calm and listened to the report of the soldier behind him.
"Prefect, our people have all entered Yinren Village as planned." An armored warrior bowed behind the man and said.
"Oh? What obstacles did you encounter?" the leading man asked, playing with a jade slip.
"Yinren Village just conducted a routine registration inspection, and there was no obstruction. At the same time, we also found..." The man hesitated slightly, as if he was thinking about how to word his words.
"Huh?" The leading man turned his head slightly, and the armored man immediately buried his head deeper and replied eagerly:
"We also found that several villages around Tiexin, Tianhe, and Longxi have sent people here."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Except for the people in Tiexin Village who should pay a little attention, the remaining villages don't need to be taken care of. They are all a bunch of short-sighted drunkards." The man put away the jade slip engraved with the word "Zhizai" and couldn't help but look at it.
He threw himself towards the southwest of the county and murmured:
"Is it Yinren or Tiexin? Where are you?"
This person is Ji Shenfu, the Lord of Luoye City, who was once ranked the 108th martial arts master on the Pingtian Ranking, and is also the most powerful person in Luoye County.
Luoye County is a second-class county of Luo Yun Kingdom. In addition to the own forces controlled by Ji Shenfu, the lord of Luoye City, there are a total of six forces like Yinren Village within its jurisdiction:
These six forces all recognize the rule of Luoye City, and they also have a high degree of autonomy. These six forces pay tribute to the sect leader Luoye City every year, and Luoye City also tacitly allows them to have their own armed forces and territories.
On the surface, there are 100,000 people in Luoye City, with 8,000 cavalry on standby. However, Yinren Village has less than 2,000 people, Tiexin Village has less than 5,000 people, and although the remaining four towns all have more than 5,000 people, Tianhe Town, which has the most, only has one.
There are 2000 people, and the armed strength cannot be compared with Luoye City.
But even Ji Shenfu is not sure about the strength hidden in the dark. He knows that Yinren Village and Tiexin Village will not be as weak as they appear on the surface. Otherwise, why have the spies he sent over the years only been in these two villages?
Lost contact, but he didn't think that they could compete with Luoye City.
Luoye County has always had only one master, Ji Shenfu, the governor of Luoye County.
It was ten years ago, it is now, and it will always be in the future! The division of forces in Luoye County: Yinren Village: leader-Lin Hengshan, manpower 2,000 people (common people plus armed forces), armed force 300 people (surface). Tiexin Village: leader
The armed force is 1,000 people. Longxi Town: leader-???, manpower 10,000 people, armed force 1,000 people. Tianhe Town: leader-???, manpower 12,000 people, armed force 1,200 people. Luoye City
:The leader-Ji Shenfu, with a manpower of 100,000 and an armed force of 8,000. Once again, Luo Yun’s division of cities, towns, and villages is based on the manpower within its territory. The manpower of a “village” is less than 5,000.”
The manpower of "town" is between 5,000 and 20,000 people. The manpower of "city" is more than 20,000. Luoye County, where Yinren Village is located, is a distribution of 1 city, 4 towns and 2 villages. In terms of scale, in
Above the "city" there is the so-called "capital", but not every state or county can have such a huge capital.
