The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 668 The First Competition

Yuan Shang agreed to Wu Guotai's one-on-one appointment, and felt very puzzled immediately after returning to the camp. He always felt that the meeting and conversation between Wu Guotai and himself was not a coincidence. Yuan Shang didn't think clearly about what he wanted to do.

After all, it was the first time he and Wu Guotai met, and they had never had any communication before, and perhaps they had heard about each other in name, but Yuan Shang felt that at most, they had only heard of each other, and there would be no more opportunities for thinking at all.

Although things were a bit weird, Yuan Shang still led a group of his subordinates to prepare for the martial arts competition and recruit relatives.

In a blink of an eye, the agreed time of several days has passed, and the first competition for recruiting relatives in Soochow officially begins.

On the day of the competition, all the candidates were ready to go, and came to the competition arena aggressively, preparing for the first test.

The tribute questions of all the participating teams have been reported to Soochow, and the next step is for Soochow Princess Sun Shangxiang to personally select the topics and announce them to everyone.

In the martial arts arena, players from each family stand in line according to the barriers.Everyone is dressed in strong clothes, sharpening their knives, gearing up, waiting for the first martial arts performance.Everyone wanted to get off to a good start in the first match.

After one hour and three quarters, the Soochow team headed by Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang, Wu Guotai and others finally appeared in front of everyone and slowly climbed onto the high platform.

Everyone's eyes suddenly brightened, staring intently at the important figures on stage, holding their breath, waiting for today's topic to be announced.

But the strange thing is that on a good day, Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang didn't seem to look very good-looking. Sun Shangxiang pouted, tilted his head, and didn't even look at Sun Quan, as if he was sullen, and Sun Quan also had a look on his face. Blue and purple, it seems that there is an evil fire in the chest, wanting to vent it but can't get it out, wanting to swallow it but not quite reconciled.

Wu Guotai smiled happily, and looked at the contestants in the martial arts arena kindly, as if she wanted to pick out the son-in-law that belonged to her and praise her well.

After several people stood still, Sun Quan seemed too lazy to speak, so he asked Lu Su beside him to read for him, but seeing Lu Su also smiled helplessly, stepped up to the stage, and raised his voice: "Heroes who take the exam, according to Guotai, Wu After several days of discussions between Hou and the princess, the topic of the competition has been completely determined. The topics are all drawn from the contests submitted by you. Today is the first competition, and the competition is..."

When talking about this, everyone held their breath, looked at Lu Su on the stage motionlessly, stared at his lips closely, and waited for his threatening words.

"The topic of today's competition is... Three Kingdoms Killing."

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the audience went astray for a while, and they almost didn't lose their shit. They looked at Sun Quan and others on the stage in amazement.

Three Kingdoms Kill? ...The bamboo leaf card game that was born in the north a few years ago, and gradually spread to all states and counties. There are many ways to play, and it has been popular for several years, but it is not considered elegant?
What kind of shit project is this?
Obviously, Sun Quan was extremely disgusted with this stupid project. When Lu Su named the competition project, Sun Quan didn't even look at the people in the audience. He just looked up at the sky and snorted heavily. .

For a while, everyone in the audience was talking about it.

"Three Kingdoms? Is that the bamboo leaf card game?"

"That thing is fine for drinking and entertaining, but taking it out as a competition, isn't it a bit too childish?"

"That's right! Soochow people's heads should be covered by the door, right?"

"It's said that Soochow is so talented, it's just farting! Choose and choose such a thing?"

"........."

A lot of people were discussing, but Yuan Shang and Sima Yi looked at each other and smiled.

Of course, this kind of topic was submitted by the Hebei side. Since they applied, they must have a certain degree of confidence that they will be selected.

First of all, although this project is absurd, it is the most suitable project for the current situation. The reason is that there are too many contestants, as many as several hundred. If martial arts competitions and literary competitions are to be fought, the year of the monkey will be over?
But the Three Kingdoms Kill is different. It is simple and fast. As long as the rules are set properly, Yuan Shang can guarantee that, regardless of the number of people participating in the competition, it only takes one day, and at least [-]% of them can be cleared.

Of course, many of the contestants in Hebei must also be lost, but after all, this game was launched by Yuan Shang and was first tried in Hebei. Although there is a certain element of luck, according to experience, the number of players left in the end is the largest. The other party must be the Hebei people.

Behind Yuan Shang, Deng Chang was eager to try, jumping excitedly and saying: "Three Kingdoms Kill! Three Kingdoms Kill! That's great, it didn't come into the hands of the old man!"

Deng Chang was the first group of old players in the Three Kingdoms Killing. At the beginning, Yuan Shangmao almost lost his pants, but because of this, this old man has very rich experience. It is invincible.

Lu Su waited for the voices below to subside before continuing: "All the people will draw lots, form a group of five, and compete separately. There will be a referee appointed by Soochow next to them. There will be a total of ten sentences. Among the five, the winner will be the most." The one who wins the first round can advance to the next round, and the other four are all defeated."

After saying these words, everyone was given another blow to the head. One of the five draws was drawn, so many people would be wiped out in the first round, what a severe situation!

Yuan Shang is calm and relaxed, no matter how he plays in his mind, the Hebei people will definitely not suffer from this kind of game.

Looking at the camp of the Jingzhou Xichuan delegation, Yuan Shang couldn't help being taken aback.

Zhuge Liang, who was sitting on a four-wheeled cart, was also shaking his feather fan lightly, with a smile on his face, without any surprise at all. Obviously, this kind of competition seemed to be in his expectation.

Seemingly feeling that Yuan Shang was looking at him, Zhuge Liang immediately turned his head, smiled and nodded at Yuan Shang.

The method of the competition is to draw lots and group them in the order of A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xinren, etc., followed by Zichou, Yin, Maochen, etc....

Yuan Shang drew Xin Er himself.

He came to the competition table of Team Xin, sat cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, and waited for the other four opponents to come.

After everyone finished drawing lots, Yuan Shang's four opponents also came to the table one by one.

The other four people are Sun Shihong from Jiaozhou Shijia, Buxie, son of Dongwu Yingjie Buzhi, and King Mulu, the master of Bana Cave in Nanban.

The last one caught Yuan Shang's attention.

This person is actually Ma Di!

Ma Di was young, pale and beardless, with a smart face, and when he met Yuan Shang, he was very polite, showing high quality, and said to Yuan Shang, "Ma Di met the Great General Sima."

For the instigator of the famous Lost Street Pavilion in later generations, Yuan Shang naturally paid more attention. He saw that although Ma Di was humble on the face and had a very good family education, there seemed to be a hint of arrogance in his brows, which was quite domineering. It's a bit perverse.

Yuan Shang was quite polite to this young man, saying with a smile: "Although I am an official in the court, but this martial arts contest is to eliminate the suspicion of my identity. Mr. Ma need not be so polite."

Ma Di smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "No, no, since the general is a general appointed by the imperial court, no matter what the situation is, he is naturally far above my generation in terms of status and momentum. Ma Di dare not It's impolite, not to mention that the great general is so powerful that he is a first-class peerless figure, even if there is no barrier of status, Ma Su dare not belittle him."

He said this politely, but Yuan Shang knew very well what his intention was. On the card of the Three Kingdoms Killing, each of them kept their identities privately. What I put in the target of public criticism is to let everyone's faint and secret alliance suppress myself first.

Sure enough, after hearing Ma Di's words, the eyes of the people around him looked at Yuan Shang differently, especially King Mulu, who was thicker than Meng Huo, and was originally a half-ally of the Western Sichuan side. Just like an enemy, he seemed to have determined his attack target before the game even started.

Yuan Shang despised King Mulu in his heart, and he followed Ma Su's way without any trace, what a pig's brain!
On the other hand, the Soochow judge looked at Ma Di, and asked calmly, "Have you finished your courtesies?"

Ma Di hurriedly nodded and said, "It's over, it's over."

Soochow Judge nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I'll deal the cards."

Since there are five people in the competition, it is naturally the most conventional situation of one "lord", one "loyal minister", two "rebels", and one "internal traitor".

Yuan Shang was unlucky in the first round, he picked a "traitor", and for the character, he chose the more conservative "Lu Meng":.

And the protagonist of this sentence is King Mulu, who is far away from Yuan Shang, so the first sentence pretended to be a "Qinglong Yanyue Knife", and he came up and threw it directly at Yuan Shang.

"Kill one knife!"

Yuan Shang was stunned when he saw this, frowned and said: "You are sick, do you know what I am? Just kill me!"

King Mulu rolled his eyes and said: "I am the lord, I can kill whoever I like! You look like a traitor, so I will kill you!"

Yuan Shang couldn't help being furious: "Kill your sister! Do you play cards like this? Take your 'kill' back to me!"

King Mulu shook his head and said, "No! I'll kill you!"

Yuan Shang took a deep breath, turned his head and asked the Soochow judge, "Referee, he doesn't know how to play, he's just a spoiler, I propose to let him go!"

The referee shook his head and said, "The proposal is rejected. The Master of Mulu Cave is also here to recruit relatives. He has the right to participate in the competition. Others cannot deprive him of it."

Yuan Shang heard the words: "I object!"

"What are you against?"

Yuan Shangdao: "I object to your not accepting my proposal!"

"Objection is invalid, play if you want to play, get out if you don't play."

Hearing this, Yuan Shang took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the gloating King Mulu, Ma Di who was lying on the sidelines, and the other two contestants who wanted to take advantage of the loopholes, feeling suffocated.

It seems that this round is not as smooth as I thought.
