Heroes from all over the world arrived one after another, and the marriage selection meeting officially began.
A lot happened in these three days.
Just like in the original work, Wang Yuyan knew that the purpose of her beloved cousin's coming to Xixia was actually to run for the prince-in-law, and she was determined to die at the back of the Xixia palace to prove her ambition.
Fortunately, the four villains rescued them, but Jiumozhi, who was already stunned, saw the few people hanging on the cliff. Taking advantage of the danger, he tried to knock them all off the cliff with a flaming knife.
In the end, Mrs. Ye arrived in time, looked at Jiumozhi's horrified eyes, drained him of his inner strength, and knocked him off the cliff.
Later, Mrs. Ye rescued the unknowing four villains and Wang Yuyan. The five people thanked each other and were willing to keep silent about Jiumozhi's death.
At this point, after Ye Tai purified the newly absorbed internal energy, his skill reached a level that was more than 130 years old. In terms of strength alone, it has surpassed Li Qiu Shui and Tianshan Tong Lao by a long way.
Wang Yuyan saw that she had almost killed more people due to her short-sightedness, and with Mrs. Ye's comfort, she gave up the idea of seeking death again, but her heart was filled with despair.
After learning about Wang Yuyan's behavior, Murong Fu had no trouble, but Duan Yu was angry and took Wang Yuyan in. At the same time, he determined to participate in the election for the Xixia Prince Consort. Even if he could not become the Prince Consort, he would make it difficult for Murong Fu to win.
Xiao Feng also said that if it is within the rules and abilities, he will definitely help.
Election day.
A glorious guard of honor was displayed on a school ground in the Imperial City of Xixia. After many candidates took their seats, Marshal Zhengdong of Xixia, who was also the person in charge of the first assessment, the burly General Helian Tieshu, who was wearing bronze armor, walked slowly.
Get on the referee's bench.
He glanced at the many candidates and said: "Today, our country's Princess Yinchuan is looking for a bride. Thanks to the distinguished guests from all over the world, it is a great honor for us. The prince-in-law recruited by our country must be both civil and military. Therefore, the first round of the competition is between each of us.
Competition, the rules of competition are..."
After announcing the rules one by one, Helian Tieshu looked at everyone again and asked: "Which of you is the former leader of the Beggar Clan and the current King Xiao Feng of the South Branch of the Liao Kingdom? Who is the Prince of Dubai, Mrs. Ye?"
"I!"
Mrs. Ye raised one hand casually, chewed an apple with the other hand, and said, "I am Mrs. Ye."
Xiao Feng was more polite than him, he stood up directly, cupped his fists and said: "My dear Xiao Feng, I don't know what General Helian has to say."
Helian Tieshu laughed loudly and said: "Xiao Daxia is famous for his unparalleled martial arts skills, and Ye Shizi is well known for his talent in both civil and military arts. Princess Yinchuan has long wanted to meet you. I admire you both very much."
, It’s rare that you two have come all the way, and I think no one will be dissatisfied with your martial arts, so there is no need to compete. I also ask you to move to Qingfeng Pavilion and wait for the second competition.”
As soon as he said this, all the candidates breathed a sigh of relief, and no one objected.
Because everyone knows that if you encounter them in the first martial arts fight, it is definitely doomed to failure. After all, their reputation as martial arts wizards and their past achievements are there, and no one is dissatisfied.
With these two people gone, there are two more places left. There should be no fighting in other subsequent assessments, so everyone will have more opportunities.
"Okay."
Mrs. Ye was free and easy. She got up and walked towards Qingfeng Pavilion. When she passed by Duan Yu, she also injected the internal energy of several years that she could not digest into his body.
Duan Yu's expression changed, and then he realized Mrs. Ye's kindness and bowed to him with clasped fists.
Xiao Feng excused himself, but when he saw Mrs. Ye leaving, he said no more, thanked him, and then left for Qingfeng Pavilion.
Inside the cabinet.
Xiao Feng and Mrs. Ye waited for about an hour. They ate fruits and snacks, drank wine, and talked.
The sound of fighting outside gradually subsided, and then the waiter came in with a group of people. Duan Yu, Murong Fu, Prince Zongzan and others were among them. They were all people who passed the first round of assessment.
In addition, Wang Yuyan, Mu Wanqing, Bao Bubu and other accompanying people also followed closely.
As soon as Duan Yu came in, he thanked Mrs. Ye very much. But he was lucky because he knew the Six Meridians Divine Sword Mind Technique. With the blessing of the seven or eight years of mixed internal energy that Mrs. Ye had injected into him, he was able to use it accidentally.
He used a style of Shaoshang Sword to knock his opponent off the ring and win the game.
Ye Tai couldn't refine the internal energy in those years, and his current Yi Jin Jing has only scratched the surface. Therefore, after more than 130 years of pure internal energy, he has once again fallen into a saturation period.
And even if it was refined, it would only be able to provide him with pure internal energy for more than a year, so he did not take the credit and casually dismissed Duan Yu who came to thank him.
After everyone waited for about a cup of tea, two maids came in from the background, and a graceful figure also appeared behind the gauze on the high platform, sitting on the king's seat at the back, just across the room.
Wearing a gauze, you can't see your true appearance clearly.
One of the maids bowed slightly to everyone and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess has given instructions that in this second level, the poems and songs will be tested. The princes of the Song Dynasty can write lyrics according to the themes given by the princess at will. Others, such as Tubo and other countries,
You can also write lyrics of your own country style songs on the spot, and Her Royal Highness the Princess will personally judge which ones are better, and finally select five people for the final assessment.
Please rest assured that the princess is very knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of the poetry, songs, and musical instruments of various countries, and she will not be biased."
"What? Comparing poems and songs? Hey, I can't even recognize all the Chinese characters, so I'm definitely losing. This isn't fair!" Prince Zongzan was the first to say angrily.
"Yes, there are many martial arts people here. It's not fair at all."
"Princess, why don't you change the test method? This is really embarrassing. I'll have to wait."
Other people who were not good at poetry and poetry also complained.
The maid raised her hand and explained: "Our country's purpose of recruiting brides is to select people with both civil and military skills. If you feel embarrassed, please come back."
Even after her words, many people complained, and many people even jointly applied to change the assessment method.
The maid frowned, and Princess Yinchuan in the gauze waved.
The maid temporarily retreated, only to see Princess Yinchuan whispering a few words to her, then she came out again and announced: "Okay, if there is anyone who is unwilling to participate in this assessment, Princess Yinchuan said that as long as you have martial arts skills, you can win."
If you pass Prince Ye Tai, you can skip this level directly."
"this……"
"Aren't you making things difficult for us?"
"Yes, who doesn't know that Prince Ye is so powerful that even Xiao Daxia can't resist him, let alone us!"
The maid's expression was cold and she said: "If you are not good at literature or martial arts, then you are not qualified to marry Princess Yinchuan!"
"What the girl said is absolutely true!"
A clear and clear voice came, and Mrs. Ye said loudly: "Since you can't be civilized or martial, you are not qualified to enter the next round of finals. Could it be that you are really the pure and innocent Princess of Yinchuan and choosing your consort is a competition between the sons and daughters of the world.
Recruiting a bride? If you are dissatisfied, please come to Ye."
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tai struck out with his palm, and all he saw was a marble wall that was more than a foot thick, and a hole as high as a person suddenly appeared.
And the broken stones did not scatter at all, but accumulated in piles on the ground.
It is enough to see that Ye Tai did not exert all his strength and had amazing control over his internal power.
"you……"
boom!
Prince Zongzan only said the word "you" before he was blasted out of the house by Ye Tai, groaning in pain on the ground outside.
Now those people were silent.
It's better than poetry, poetry, and poetry. It's much better than competing with a pervert like Mrs. Ye. Maybe you can even get away with some of the country's niche songs.
After all, no matter how erudite and talented Princess Yinchuan is, she cannot know all the poets' works. There are always some that she has not dabbled in.
The personal maid smiled slightly, nodded to Mrs. Ye, and said: "Thank you, Mr. Ye. Then the second round of assessment has officially begun. Listen carefully. The theme of the princess's question is..."
"etc!"
The maid's voice was interrupted again. She raised her eyebrows and wanted to say that it was too much to bully others. Does anyone dare to cause trouble at this time?
But when she saw that it was Mrs. Ye who spoke, she relaxed her brows and said with a smile: "Is there anything else you don't understand, Mr. Ye?"
Mrs. Ye was a little embarrassed and said: "I just want to ask, if other people don't want to take the poetry test and come to compete with me, then who should I go to if I don't want to take the test?"
Ahem.
Ye Tai was not a poet at all. If he had not memorized a few Tang poems and Song lyrics, his classical Chinese skills would definitely be the weakest here.
In the past two months, in order to create an image of himself as a talented person, he has recited almost all the poems he has memorized.
Nowadays, there are only one or two pieces in stock.
If the theme was prescribed by the princess, it would really stump him. When others recite it, but he makes up a nonsense poem, it would be extremely embarrassing.
There is even a suspicion of disrespecting Princess Yinchuan.
