In the Jinluan Hall, after all the ministers made everything clear, as usual, they waited for the emperor to announce his withdrawal from the court. WWw. QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO. cOMHowever, Murong Liuyun didn't seem to have this intention. After scanning the scene, he smiled lightly and said, "I suddenly became interested today and want to ask you all, what kind of sports do you like on weekdays?"
When he asked this question, everyone was confused. What sports do you like? If we were to talk about what kind of tea we like to drink, we could all point out that we are tall and ugly, but this is sports. . . . . . Most of the civil servants present were dumbfounded. They usually go out in sedan chairs, so what kind of exercise do they have? Many younger officials even secretly wonder, does the pro-democracy movement count? Of course, no one would dare to stand up and seek death.
The civil servants were dumbfounded, but the military attachés were all holding their chests high! They stood up in twos and threes, doing things like lifting stone locks, practicing swords, practicing spears, etc. But after all, they just stayed on this topic. These military attachés, who usually cannot compete with civil servants with their words, are holding back evil fire in their hearts! It's a good day, I finally got a chance.
Murong Liuyun looked at the showoffs of these military attachés in amusement. Hearing what happened later, he couldn't help but sigh: The activities of the Murong Dynasty were really too few and too boring. If it weren't for the "Real Men" sports competition designed by Xiao Yueye, he would never be like this. But when he listened to the military attaché below showing off, his mind couldn't help but hear what Xiao Yueye designed. Of course, the two are definitely not on the same level. But Xiao Yueye’s one is so interesting and fun!
After restraining his mind, Murong Liuyun still had a faint smile on his face, seeming very satisfied.
After the crowd calmed down, Murong Liuyun smiled and waved his hand: "It seems that except for a few beloved ladies, the other beloved ladies don't like sports very much! Taking care of everything is certainly a reward for the people, but my body is also It’s very important!”
Unexpectedly, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, after I return, I will definitely find some ways to maintain my health so that I can be useful and relieve my emperor's worries."
"Yes." Murong Liuyun nodded with a smile on his face, but he was cursing in his stomach: This old guy can talk!
However, Mozhu's purpose today was originally very simple, but it made these old foxes worry and plot in vain. He coughed softly: "Actually, I was thinking about the spring hunt that day. Our Murong dynasty has been in existence for a hundred years, and our troops and horses are strong. Unfortunately, our descendants are all content with enjoying themselves, and their poor physical fitness really chills me. I think about it every night. Even now, I will be tossing and turning, worrying about the future of my court!"
"It's my fault. I will definitely teach my descendants a lesson when I return." Although these ministers did not understand what medicine Murong Liuyun was selling in his gourd, they could hear the dissatisfaction in his mouth.
Murong Liuyun waved his hand and asked them to stand up: "Everyone, please get up, there is no need for this. I am just feeling emotional. My dear friends, I am building a large-scale construction project on the bank of Suyang River in the east of the city. I think you have heard about it, right?!"
The ministers all nodded. The emperor was carrying out large-scale construction projects for no reason, how could they not investigate? But the news they came back confused them. The craftsmen involved in the construction didn't know what they were building. ! But one thing is for sure, it is definitely not a house.
"Haha, what on earth is that will be revealed in three days. My dear friends, in three days, you will go there in person with your children and grandchildren, and I will also come in person. Mo Aiqing, please inform all the officials in the capital. He and his descendants, if nothing happens in three days, they will go there to have a look." Murong Liuyun also kept it secret and refused to reveal the details. However, he believes that three days later, it will definitely leave a mark in history.
Unexpectedly, he bowed and said yes, but in his heart he could not figure out what Murong Liuyun meant. Three days later, and only three days later, the mystery can be solved.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. The descendants of princes and officials of all sizes in the capital were all in the same excited mood as modern children before spring outings, nervous, excited, and a little confused.
On this day, the people in the capital were surprised to see these officials and their children and grandchildren rushing towards the east of the city in a swarm. At the feet of the Emperor, there are people coming from all directions. Which one of these ordinary people is not well-informed? However, in their memory, even the memory of the elders in the family, they have never seen anything like this
Not to mention the reaction of these people, just talk about the officials and their families who rushed to the east of the city. They were surprised to see that the place was full of official sedans and carriages, but it was a closed place similar to a competition. Everyone in front is guarded by the imperial guards. Moreover, there are still dozens of feet away from the gate, so everyone must move forward on foot, and their vehicles must be placed on both sides with special personnel to guard them.
The Royal Forest Army carefully checks everyone's identity. No matter you are a ninth-grade official or a prince, no one is immune. After entering, a long, clear lake is right in the middle. On the lake, there are some bumpy things covered with red cloth. From the outside, it is not clear what they are. The officials who had arrived earlier stood in twos and threes, curiously looking at the things in the lake. Some sharp-eyed and knowledgeable officials saw something unusual about the lake. Most ordinary lakes are arc-shaped or elliptical. How can they have such a long and curved shape? Moreover, the lake water is extremely clear and the water level can only reach a person's waist. It looks like foreign water at first glance. Moreover, the entire bottom of the lake and the shores on both sides were covered with red cloth.
At the end of this artificial lake, there is a high platform. Behind the high platform is a wall covered with red cloth. There are several chairs on the high platform.
After a while, Murong Liuyun walked over in a mighty manner, holding the imperial staff. All the ministers and imperial guards present knelt to the ground and shouted long live. Murong Liuyun was obviously in a good mood, with a smile always on his face. This time he did not bring the harem women, only the two princes. The two princes were also looking at the things in the lake with curious faces, and they really couldn't figure out where they came from.
When he walked to the high platform, Murong Liuyun did not sit down and said loudly: "Dear ladies, please get up."
After he laughed a few times, he pointed at the thing covered by the red cloth in the lake and said, "My dear friends, you must be confused. What is under the red cloth? I invite you to come here today. What’s the purpose?”
Seeing the ministers discussing in low voices, Murong Liuyun waved his arms: "Haha, no need to guess, the answer will be revealed soon. Liu Dexi."
"The old slave is here!"
"The time has come, right?"
Liu Dexi bent even deeper: "If you return to the emperor, the auspicious day has arrived!"
"Well, we can start."
After receiving the emperor's instructions, Liu Dexi straightened up and said loudly in the eunuch's unique voice: "Salute, prepare, fire!"
The whole place roared, and the firecrackers thundered, but it seemed that they were all set off outside the venue, so although there was a festive feeling, the smoke and debris did not float into the venue.
How many of the people present were focused on the firecrackers? Their biggest focus is on what kind of medicine is the emperor selling in the gourd? !
The sound finally stopped, Murong Liuyun smiled mysteriously at the people present, and with a backhand pull, the red cloth on the tall wooden board behind him fell down.
Everyone is staring at this wooden board, or to be precise, staring at the three big characters flying on the board: Real Man!
The three big characters, full of thick ink, are both strong and soft, showing the style of a great calligrapher. However, this calligrapher is no ordinary person, it is Murong Liuyun. On the lower right corner of the three characters, there are densely packed seals. Each seal represents Murong Liuyun's different names in different periods.
"You are a real man if you are brave and wise!" Murong Liuyun shouted loudly, pointing with his right hand at the activity venue covered by a cloth in the lake!
The true face of Mount Lu was finally revealed. Everyone was staring at these strange-looking things, pointing and talking.
"Isn't that a support pole?"
"What does that wheel-like thing do?"
"That tree trunk lying across the middle is a single-plank bridge, isn't it?"
The list goes on and on.
Murong Liuyun laughed loudly: "Ai Qing, you must not know these things, right? Xiao Ai Qing, come up and explain it to everyone!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Qingyue's voice rang out from the crowd, suppressing everyone's comments.
Xiao Yue walked toward the high platform with her chest held high and a smile on her face. His famous name has long been known to everyone. But Xiao Yueye always kept a low profile, and not many people had seen his appearance. For a moment, the source of all discussions turned to him.
The smile on Xiao Yueye's face did not change. After deciding to show off in a high-profile manner, he was already mentally prepared for everything.
He has been involved in danger several times and has become famous several times. Now in the capital, who doesn't know the weight of the three characters Xiao Yueye? ! Since you already have such a big reputation, why bother pretending to be low-key? On the contrary, it seemed to be pretentious, so after discussing with her family, Xiao Yueye decided to appear in the eyes of everyone with a high profile in the future.
Anyway, he and many people are fighting to the death, and now that he has become powerful, there is no need to deliberately maintain anything. Therefore, with the official opening of the "Real Men" sports competition, Xiao Yueye also appeared in front of everyone in a high-profile manner for the first time.
After bowing respectfully to Murong Liuyun and the two princes, Xiao Yueye turned to look at everyone and said loudly with all her strength: "Colleagues, here, after thinking hard about the fact that the descendants of the Murong Dynasty are increasingly content with enjoying themselves, the Holy One, It was built. The Holy Spirit named it the Real Men Sports Arena. Our slogan is, if you overcome the obstacles wisely, you will be a real man!”
There was a slight noise in the entire venue, and the lingering sound of Xiao Yueye's voice remained. Even those with some eyesight could not help but look horrified. Xiao Yueye originally thought that the rumors were just exaggerated, but she didn't expect that his skills were so profound. As expected of the master’s disciple!
Xiao Yueye paused, looked at the disdainful and doubtful looks of many young people, and said with a smile: "I know that there must be many brothers who think that these projects are really easy and simple. Haha, it is not. Now, let Xiao Let me explain something to you.”
(I believe everyone knows this type of specific game method, so I won’t go into details here to avoid overstating the word count.)
"... There are so many requirements for each level. Here, there are three points that need to be stated. First, all contestants must register and then line up to participate. Everyone, look there."
Everyone followed Xiao Yueye's hand and looked over. There was a shed with the three characters "Registration Office" written inside!
"Second, everyone needs to get acupuncture at the beginning. Don't worry, this set of acupuncture will only temporarily block the time you need to breathe a cup of tea. The purpose is to be fair!"
"Third, Your Majesty spent a lot of money to build this thing. The purpose is not only to hope that everyone can exercise more, but also to reduce the number of fights in the capital. It was originally a good thing for a man to be hot-blooded, but the fight resulted in bruises and swollen faces, and even killed people. That is against the law. Therefore, anyone who enters the venue is not allowed to cause trouble. Of course, if you have any conflicts in private, you are encouraged to go to the platform and meet in a narrow road. The brave will win."
The people below nodded, and some young people looked at these projects confidently. However, a few quick-thinking people asked loudly: "If everyone passes, how will we determine who wins?"
Xiao Yueye smiled and took out an hourglass from her arms: "Of course it's time! This hourglass is specially made, and there will be a designated person at the end every time to record the time you pass. The time of this hourglass is divided into ten points. Each time the hourglass is passed, points will be reported to show fairness. The person who passes with less time wins! Those who fail to pass after the hourglass is completely filled will be punished as a loser.
"What if the time is the same?" the owner of the voice continued to ask, ignoring the frightened look of his father next to him. It seems that he is the son of a minor official.
Xiao Yueye looked at the others and found that many people had the same idea. He smiled: "If the time is the same, then we will compete again until the winner is determined. Of course, I can tell everyone in advance that there are currently a total of The seven items are just the most basic and simple ones, and more difficult updates will be released later.”
After basically explaining the rules clearly, Xiao Yueye bowed and stood aside. Murong Liuyun smiled and looked at the people who were already a little moved and said: "I, the descendants of the Murong Dynasty, Xiao Aiqing has already explained some of the rules before. I am here to say one more thing. After everyone is familiar with these projects, I will choose a competition. Yes, it is a competition! Set the time, change the difficulty, and eliminate some people at each level. I will personally award the winner with a plaque of true man!"
"Long live my emperor!" If they were just curious before, then those who are interested now are excited. The emperor actually presented the award in person. Isn't this a joke? ! Having such a plaque placed in your home is like a shining lintel!
Moreover, this is also an opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor! Isn’t such a simple thing at your fingertips
"I like it. If we don't get along with each other and draw swords, in the near future, it can become a disagreement with real men! Okay, start signing up now. Let me see how big the children and grandchildren of my Murong dynasty are. ability!"
This time, the applicants completely surrounded the shed. After a while, someone presented the list. Murong Liuyun patted Xiao Yueye's shoulder and sat down with the two princes to watch the show.
This time, many of the people in the dark belong to the Dragon Guard. For example, those who perform injections to seal the information, those who fill out registration forms, and those who will be responsible for telling the time. These people were completely obedient to Xiao Yueye's orders, so they didn't have to worry about anyone secretly bribing them to cause trouble.
Xiao Yueye handed the list to the people below and stood aside with her arms folded, watching the next game with great interest.
"Haha, another one fell into the water!"
"Oh, be careful, be careful! What a pity!"
"Fell into the water again, really!"
As Xiao Yueye expected, there were not an ordinary number of people falling into the water in front of them. The people who first came on stage were all martial arts students. After they suddenly lost their inner strength, they were not sure about the regulation of their bodies, so they could easily lose their footing and fall into the water.
Water splashed everywhere, making the playing field wet and slippery.
These officials' children were a little shy at first, but they were neatly dressed and elegant. Later, I simply raised the hem and got ready. All the officials and disciples of the capital are here, I really can’t afford to disgrace this man!
Xiao Yueye watched from the side to Zhile. In fact, none of the projects chosen this time were difficult, but these people either relied on their inner breath and couldn't adapt to it all of a sudden, or they lacked exercise on weekdays. You know, these sports seem very simple, but in fact they have very high requirements for eyesight, muscle ability, explosive power, etc. He who usually relied on Qinggong to fly around was now suffering a lot.
Those who started to lose were all dejected and flushed. Falling into the water in this situation is really a big loss. But later I saw more and more people falling into the water, and my confidence came back. After learning that they could sign up again, they all ran back enthusiastically.
It has to be said that although most of the descendants of the Murong Dynasty are content with enjoying themselves, their physical condition is much better than that of later generations when martial arts declined. In the past, when watching TV, nine out of ten people would fall into the water, but here, 30% of the time would pass easily.
Once you pass, it doesn't mean you lose interest. These people have found that sometimes you pass the first time but fall into the water the second time. There is a lot of luck involved, not to mention time. Some people who dislike each other or have a grudge against each other see that the other person seems to be faster than themselves, and they also start to compare. Even for those who lost, you fell into the water in the first game and I persisted until the last game, which is a big difference! The arena became more and more lively.
Murong Liuyun watched with joy, and the two princes were also eager to fight, but they had more worries after all. It would be terrible if he fell into the water and lost face in front of his father. Now is the most intense time for the competition for the crown prince position, so there can't be any mistakes.
Murong Liuyun turned to look at the two of them, thought for a while and said, "You guys should go and have some fun too, don't let my royal family lose face."
"My son obeys the order!"
Not to mention the two princes who went down below to close up their sleeves and prepare to show off their skills. Just talk about the important officials of the court who were "watching the battle". They were all cheering for their children and grandchildren. People who usually have dissatisfaction with each other, but see their children and grandchildren winning, why don’t they immediately show off their pride
But there is one exception, Zhang Dehai.
Although his eyes were looking at the field, his peripheral vision was always locked in the direction of Murong Liuyun and Xiao Yueye. From the time Xiao Yueye made a high-profile appearance, to now when Murong Liuyun asked his two sons to leave, but he was joking with Xiao Yueye in a low voice, Zhang Dehai's heart almost burst out of his chest.
That must be it, yes. Xiao Yueye must be her son, otherwise the emperor would never be so fond of him.
The more Zhang Dehai thought about it, the colder his heart became. Even though he was good at covering up, his face was a bit ugly. An official nearby saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, are you feeling unwell? Your whole back is soaked!"
Zhang Dehai glanced at him in a daze, composed himself, and shook his head.
He turned to look at the second prince who was about to give it a try, and couldn't help but think of Murong Liuyun's closeness to Xiao Yueye.
If they fall into the water, what will happen to the royal family? Is this what the emperor did? . . . . .
It didn't matter if he thought about it like this. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying and frightened he became.
Murong Gong was really not good at it. He originally valued literature over martial arts, and his dancing and writing were okay. However, this kind of competitive event fell into the water at the second level. Fortunately, it was the royal face after all, and the guard who was responsible for protecting him was quick and flew to hug him before he fell into the water. Of course, no one dared to laugh.
Murong Jingde was a little better and persisted until the last level before the timekeeper said with an expressionless expression that time was up. He walked back to the high platform gracefully, not feeling disappointed at all. Instead, his eyes were full of curiosity about this competitive event.
Looking at their reactions, Murong Gong's irrepressible Tie Qing and Murong Jingde's interest, one can see the difference in their personalities.
The goal has been achieved. Murong Liuyun watched for a while and then drove back to the palace. After he left, the old ministers also returned to their mansions one by one. As a result, most of the people who stayed were young people. Without the pressure of the older generation, they suddenly let go of their hands and feet, shouting, cheering, scolding, and provoking, all of them.
Xiao Yueye was originally planning to go home, but he had a lot of things at home! The upcoming auction meeting is enough to give him a headache.
Who knew that a descendant of the Mo family, whose name he didn't know, actually looked at him with a provocative look on his face. Xiao Yueye remembered that this guy had passed the test before, which was considered a good result.
But do you dare to challenge yourself with this kind of performance? Xiao Yueye couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Don’t forget, this was made by me, Xiao Yueye, will I still lose to you
There are many people around who are happy to see success. Xiao Yueye was twenty years old and famous all over the world. As a young man, he was naturally a little dissatisfied. Xiao Yueye's kung fu had previously shocked them, but everyone could see that this competitive event had little to do with kung fu. Have you ever seen some masters fall into the water
Xiao Yueye glanced at them. That’s all, I’ll play with you! He took off his robe, and after his inner strength was sealed, he jumped up and down with an elegant posture, and passed the entire track without any obstacles. The last time was announced, but it was only four o'clock.
The face of the provocative person changed. When he passed, it took him a full seven o'clock!
Xiao Yueye casually put her robe on her shoulders, smiled disdainfully at him, and flew away.
"Amazing!"
"So handsome!"
"He will be my idol from now on!" (Quanben Novel Website www.QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO.com)
