Chapter 70
"Young master, the arena has been built, and the steeds sent to Shu County to bring back are already in place. In the past few days, crowds of people have always gathered around the arena to watch. The black armored guards are already under the arena. I have publicized it to the common people, the arena will start tomorrow, as long as you have a skill, you can win prizes such as horses, precious medicines, silver taels, jewelry, etc. I believe that many people will come to visit and observe."

Ding Yi and Huo Jing reported the preparations for the past few days, and Lin Chen was also very excited.

They have single-handedly planned the biggest arena competition in Qionglai County in the past few days, and the grand occasion of tomorrow is already predictable.All the black guards involved, including him, are looking forward to it.

Huo Jing nodded, "The effect will be revealed tomorrow. Let the magistrate of Qionglai County come to the venue on time for the opening ceremony. In addition, the black armored guards who are in charge of referees and the next competition must be strictly scrutinized. The people we want should be excellent. If you are not sure about some people, you will only give the lottery, and the rest will be discussed after consideration.”

"Here!" Lin Chen and Ding Yi looked at each other, turned and left, making final preparations for the opening of the ring.

Huo Jing stayed in the room, thinking about some details of tomorrow, while Lu Weimang played with the various colors that will be displayed tomorrow.

"Ding Yi looked at Lao Cheng, but he didn't expect his hands to be quite skillful. The big red silk flowers he tied are quite beautiful."

Tomorrow's lottery head, brocade box for horses and other things need to be eye-catching, so they need to be tied with bright red silk flowers.Lu Weimang originally took over the job, and made a lot of big bows out of bright red silk and satin, and planned to tie them on the horse's head and the brocade box tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, when Huo Jingdingyi saw the bow, the expression on his face was indescribable. Lu Weimang asked unconvinced if they didn't look good?Huo Jing resisted not saying a word, but Ding Yi couldn't stand it anymore and tied up a round, plump big red flower with Lu Weimang's leftover bright red silk and satin.

Comparing the two, even though the bow is made by himself, Lu Weimang still has to admit that Ding Yiza's big red flowers are more festive and beautiful.So in the afternoon, Ding Yi took time out of his busy schedule to tie dozens of big red flowers.One meter in size, hung on the ring for decoration, some smaller, one foot in size, tied on the horse's head, and some smaller, tied on a brocade box, even Lu Weimang himself asked for a small one. The small one, tied around the wrist, is showing off to Huo Jing at the moment.

Huo Jing watched Lu Weimang playing with the red silk flower for a long time and never got tired of it, so he couldn't help complaining, "This big red flower can be tied out with a hand, you really haven't seen such a good thing."

Lu Weimang giggled, "I like it."

One is that the recruitment of the caravan will be on the right track tomorrow, and she is in a good mood.On the other hand, Lu Weimang is actually a fan of handicrafts, she likes to use some inconspicuous little things to make some handmade products.The original telescope was her itchy creation.But although she likes to cook, she is not good at technology, and she belongs to the kind who is both good and fun.Seeing the exquisite red silk flowers made by Ding Yi now, I couldn't help looking at them again and again.

Huo Jing snorted and couldn't help saying, "These are leftovers from my playing. When I was seven or eight years old, I would tie these red silk flowers, and make kites, palace lanterns. In the imperial city, except for me The kites made by others are exquisite and beautiful, but the kites made by others are clumsy and cannot fly, and the palace lanterns they make do not block the wind, making it hard to see."

Lu Weimang's expression froze, and he always felt that he had been shot by an arrow for no reason.She is the kind of person who can't fly when making a kite, and can only watch in the house when making a palace lantern, but is blown out by the wind when she goes out.

But Lu Weimang is not angry, she knows that she is clumsy, and she admires people with dexterity. At the moment, Lu Weimang is very supportive, thumbs up, "Amazing!"

Huo Jing smiled, "That's considered amazing? No matter how many things I do on weekdays, I don't see you saying that you are amazing. Well, for your words, I will make you a palace lantern for the Lantern Festival after the year."

Lu Weimang cheered and cheered, "Great, I like handmade ones, thank you General Huo in advance."

Seeing Lu Weimang's delicate appearance like a little girl, Huo Jing felt relaxed, "Don't just thank me. Don't you also like making things by hand? It doesn't matter, just give me something."

Lu Weimang thought about his own ability, nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, when I get back to Kyoto, I will study hard and make a high-quality product." At least it is a kite that can fly.

Huo Jing raised his palm, Lu Weimang clapped it up, high-five for sure.

Early in the morning of the second day, the gate of the county town, which is usually sparsely populated, is now crowded with people, and there is even a long queue.Everyone is anxiously waiting to enter the city.

The guards guarding the city were startled by the crowd of people at the gate of the city at first, and thought that someone was coming to seize the city. Unexpectedly, everyone talked about it, and they all talked about the most prosperous street in Qionglai County today. arena.

"Brother Sun, tell me, can the ring really give BMW a lottery?"

Among the people who are queuing, several people are chatting.

"That horse was displayed yesterday with red silk and big flowers tied up, so why doubt it?"

The grandson, who looked very tidy even though he was dressed in coarse cloth, came back.

The man was still a little worried, "I heard that it's just some bow and horse competitions, and there is also a map quiz in Shu County. As long as you win any one, you can get a BMW. I saw that BMW yesterday, and it is very handsome. , I’m afraid he won’t come without a hundred taels. Tell me, what is the person who runs the arena trying to do? Could it be that he’s taken advantage of by a foreigner?”

Sun Peng heard the man's doubts, but he didn't have any worries about it.Not to mention that the guards around the arena are all well-trained people, it seems that they come from people with solid foundations, and it costs a lot of money to build the ten-foot-high arena.

How can someone spend money to build a tall arena just to entertain people?

Therefore, other people may be skeptical, but he came to line up early, trying to get on the ring as soon as possible and win the BMW.After leaving the horse, no matter what you want to do in the future, it will be much more convenient.You can even take a trip to the Muya Grassland by yourself.

Sun Peng lined up with his brothers to enter the city. In Qionglai County, the tall arena has been fully revealed at this moment.

The screen wall made of ten-foot-high bamboo stands tall, so that every corner of Qionglai County can be seen by looking up.It is embellished with whole bolts of silks and satins of various colors, shining the soft light of silk under the summer sun.

On the screen wall made of bamboo, it is decorated with one-meter-sized red silk flowers made by Ding Yi.

It is true that red is used for important occasions, and the atmosphere suddenly becomes lively.

Ding Yi did not know where to order two lion dance teams. At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums sounded, and the lion dance performed lively on the three-foot-high ring, instantly attracting many people who did not pay attention to the ring at first. Come and watch.And the applause continued, the atmosphere was extremely warm, and it was a good start.

Those who have just entered the city are a little annoyed when they hear the sound of gongs and drums coming from the ring, are they late?I heard that the number of BMWs is limited, first come, first served, everyone does not show their faces, but their legs and feet are getting faster and faster, walking towards the direction of the ring.

Today Huo Jing and Lu Weimang are close to the ring, showing their faces in public, preparing for the next recruiting of the caravan.

Today, Huo Jing is still wearing black clothes, the color is low-key, but the texture is extraordinary, exuding the soft luster unique to silk fabrics, and the waist is fixed with a wide white jade belt, making it look more broad shoulders and narrow waist, tall and thin.On his head was a gorgeous bronze inlaid jade crown, and his hair stood up neatly, showing that he attached great importance to today's affairs.

Lu Weimang also specially dressed up, wearing the vermilion jacket skirt embroidered with hundreds of flowers and wearing butterflies that she doesn't often wear on weekdays, and wearing a gold inlaid ruby ​​hairpin and step shaker on her head, which made her eyes brighter and her teeth brighter, and her spirit was flying .

The two of them stood on the ring, the lion dance troupe voluntarily retreated, and everyone under the ring looked solemn and stopped making noise.They all know that something is coming.

Huo Jing was the first to speak, "Everyone, I set up the arena here today, with the intention of selecting sages from the countryside to form a caravan together, so that we can share misfortunes and fortunes and share prosperity in the future. Anyone who has a skill can show it on stage. Here we have There are several examiners. Anyone who has real materials can choose one of the lottery prizes in this field. As for whether to join the caravan, it is completely voluntary and will never be forced. Participants can go directly to the arena to compete and display."

Huo Jing gave up the position in the center of the ring, and Ding Yi stepped forward to take over, ready to welcome the next person to come to the stage to fight.

Everyone in the audience went from quietly listening to Huo Jing's speech to suddenly erupting into heated discussions.

The opportunity is too rare.

Ninety-nine out of ten people in this world are rural people without roots, and what is the way out for the rural people?Apart from farming and hunting, and doing corvée labor, I had to be introduced by acquaintances when I went to the city to do part-time jobs on weekdays.Some are clever, go to the city to work as a waiter, and after decades of hard work, maybe they can be the shopkeeper of a shop.If the family has some spare money, they can study for a few years, so that they can go to the city to find a job to make ends meet, and get rid of the ranks of mud-legged people.

There is not one scholar in a million who has achieved fame in the examination.

Huo Jing's speech today is equivalent to using his status as a nobleman to give everyone a step up, a chance to change their fate.

After standing still, everyone scrambled to climb up the ring.Yes, climb, the ring is not high, but you need both hands to hold the person who is close to the ring in front.It can be said that just the first step of going to the ring eliminated nearly half of the people present.

People with poor physical strength or not smart enough can't even make it to the ring.

Ding Yi stood on the stage and looked at the ring surrounded by three sides. Everyone was fighting like zombies, but he remained motionless.In his eyes, this kind of scene is a small scene. He has seen blood and blood flying all over the battlefield, but now it is just some punching and kicking, which cannot be seen by him.Besides, there are black armor guards guarding the ring.

As time passed, more and more people climbed onto the ring. Seeing the bloody aura gradually fade away and the fight getting weaker and weaker, Ding Yi knew that all the people who should come up had already come up.

"The competition has started, everyone divides the content of the competition and queues up to compete!"

Ding Yi gave an order, and the group arena finally started.
