Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 423

Before a stick of incense passed, a shout in Jurchen language came from outside the polo field: "His Majesty the Emperor is here!" Immediately afterwards, the drums and horns blared, and the nobles around the polo opened a passage. Prince Wanyan Zongjun With a neat team of armored cavalry came in first.

After the armored cavalry took their positions around the polo field, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Aguda, Empress Tang Kuo, and Princess Wanyan Wulu rode their horses into the polo field.Cheers erupted around the polo field.

"Brother Ximen, is that the princess of the Kingdom of Jin that you want to marry? It really is beautiful! Brother, you are very beautiful, and you are so envious."

After Shi Jin saw Wanyan Wulu beside the emperor from a distance, he whispered to Ximen Qing enviously.

Brother Shi Jin is really outspoken, there are so many Jurchen warriors around this polo field, how dare he comment on Princess Jin here.Fortunately, the Jurchen warriors closest to me seemed to be born Jurchen warriors, and they might not understand the Han language spoken by Shi Jin, otherwise they would never have let him go.

Yue Fei was much younger than Shi Jin, but calmer than Shi Jin, and he deserved to be a handsome candidate for the future.

Ximen Qing hastily gestured to Shi Jin, and said in a low voice, "Brother Shi Jin, this is not a place to talk, so don't say too much."

Shi Jin heard the words, looked around, and realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.

After Wanyan Aguda, Empress Tang Kuo, and Wanyan Wulu entered the arena, Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan Xieye, Wanyan Sagai, Wanyan Taran, Wanyan Wuye and other older Wanyan clans The nobles entered the arena one by one, and followed the emperor Wanyan Aguda to the high platform to sit down.

After the nobles of the Wanyan tribe stepped onto the platform, more than a dozen ministers from most departments, including Tang Kuo, Tudan, Wugulun, and Pucha, also stepped onto the platform and sat in a row beside the nobles of the Wanyan tribe.

Seeing that all the nobles on the high platform were seated, Wanyan Zongxiong immediately strode up to the emperor Wanyan Aguda, and reported to him that everything was ready, and asked whether the martial arts competition could start immediately.

Wanyan Aguda gave Wanyan Zongxiong an order, asking him to control the scene and not let the young elites in the field hurt each other's lives.

After Wanyan Zongxiong got the order, he walked to the front of the stage and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has an order. Today's martial arts competition is to choose a good son-in-law for the eldest princess Wanyan Wulu. This is a happy event for my kingdom. Just decide the outcome, don't kill each other and hurt each other's life! The time has come, and the contest begins. Please come to the stage one by one to draw lots to decide the opponents of the first round of competition."

After hearing this, Ximen Qing jumped off his horse, and followed Tang Kuo, Talan and the other five to the high platform beside the polo field in full view.

"The first warrior is Tang Kuo Tarlan from the Tang Kuo Department of Tuwenshui!"

"The second warrior is Brother Tudan Ding from the Tudan Division of Huoshi Muddy Water!"

"The third warrior is Wugu Lun from Tongmenshui and Hunzhushui Wugu Lun Department!"

"The fourth warrior is the Pucha Shi family slave from the Wominshuipucha tribe!"

"The fifth warrior is Jiagu Xienu from the Jiagu Department of Press Chuhushui!"

"The sixth warrior is Ximen Qing from the west gate of the Yalu River!"

When Ximen Qing and others took the stage one by one, a Jurchen warrior next to Wanyan Zongxiong loudly announced the origin and name of the suitors to the crowd on the sidelines.

Tang Kuo Talan, Tudan Dingge and other five people are all well-known figures among the children of the Jurchen nobles, and there are many tribesmen from the small tribe they ruled beside the polo field. Therefore, when the Jurchen warriors announced their names, the scene There were bursts of cheers.

When it was Ximen Qing's turn to take the stage, there were far fewer people who knew him well, and the cheers suddenly weakened a lot.Although many people in the Wanyan Department were familiar with Ximen Qing, but today's situation is special, they have to stay out of the matter and maintain impartiality, so they did not applaud Ximen Qing.

For a while, Ximen Qing's momentum was much worse than that of the previous five.

Seeing this, Wanyan Wulu snorted, showing displeasure.

Seeing this, Empress Tang Kuo, the mother sitting next to Wanyan Wulu, hurriedly held Wanyan Wulu's hand, comforted her quietly, and signaled her not to act rashly.

"Then who is Ximen Qing from the west gate of the Yalu River? How come I have never heard of him? He is not my Jurchen?"

"Looking at his attire, maybe he used to be a Han Chinese or a Bohai native from the Liao Kingdom, who was conferred the title of Meng'an Mouk after he surrendered my Dajin?"

"Not my Jurchen aristocrat, but also qualified to marry the eldest princess?"

"Presumably his family is also an aristocratic family, and has won the trust of the emperor. Our Dajin Kingdom has captured many lands in the Liao Kingdom, and many Han people and Bohai people have become citizens of the Dajin Kingdom. Now the civil servants and generals of our Dajin Kingdom, There are more and more Han Chinese."

"You mean, this is Emperor Aguda showing his favor to the great Han family? Let them and my Jurchen have one heart and one mind?"

"I thought so."

……

"Wait, do you know where the last warrior who came to power is from?"

"I'm not deaf. Didn't I just say that he's from Ximen by the Yalu River?"

"Hehehe~ Let me tell you, that Ximenqing is not from my Dajin Kingdom, he is from the far south of the sea, the Song Kingdom!"

"What did you say? He is from the Song Dynasty? Are you deceiving me that the people of the Song Dynasty can marry Ulu Princess? Could it be that he is the prince of the Song Dynasty emperor? There is a marriage between the two countries?"

"What do you know, the emperor of Song Dynasty was surnamed Zhao, how could the prince's surname be Ximen again."

"Then why can this person from Song Dynasty participate in the Martial Arts Tournament? If he can participate in the Martial Arts Tournament, then I, Wuyan Dake, as a child of the Wuyan tribe in Changbai Mountain, can also participate in the Martial Arts Tournament and ask the beautiful Wulu Princess courtship?"

"Hehe, without Haidongqing, how can you hunt swans well? Wuyan Dake, I heard that you were beaten on the ground by Brother Tudan Ding last time, is it true? With your ability, how can you defeat Tudan Ding? elder brother?"

"Hmph! What do you know? If I hadn't stumbled that day, how could I have lost to Brother Tu Dan Ding?"

"Hahaha~ I heard that Brother Tudan Ding knocked you down with three moves!"

"Hahaha~ I've also heard about this. It is said that Brother Tudan Ding jumped off his horse and fought with you on foot. He also knocked you to the ground with three punches and two kicks. He smashed dozens of punches? The "mountain pig" in Changbai Mountain Wuyan Dake, is this serious?"

"What are you laughing at? If you waited, would you be able to catch two moves from Brother Tudan Ding? I, the "mountain pig", Wu Yan Dake has rough skin and rough skin. I took 32 punches from Brother Tudan Ding, but I did not admit defeat. How many people are you waiting for who can do it?"

"Puff~cough cough cough~ "Mountain Pig" Wuyan Dake, you're going to choke me to death. Hahaha~ dare you count how many punches you took when you were beaten? Admiration, admiration, I'm willing to bow down!"

"That's right, Wuyan Dake, among the few people I'm waiting for, you are the most skilled! But if you go to a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, wouldn't you still be beaten? Brother Tudan Ding, Wu Gulun, Jiagu The three of Xie Nu are famous warriors, can you defeat them?"

Chapter 693 The First Battle Opponent

Ximen Qing and other six people stood on the high platform to draw lots, and the discussion about them by the polo field was still going on.

Because of Ximen Qing's special status, he has become the focus of most discussions at the moment.

Wu Yanda, the "mountain pig" from the Wuyan tribe of Changbai Mountain, is a straightforward and talkative person. Although his friends just made fun of him for his lack of martial arts skills, he didn't take it seriously, and continued to talk about the stage with several Jurchen warriors around him Ximenqing et al.

Wuyan means pig in Jurchen language, but this is not an insult to the Wuyan tribe.The pigs in the Jurchen's eyes were not fat domestic pigs that were raised for nothing, but ferocious wild boars in the mountains.

Wu Yan Da Ke has thick skin and brute strength, and likes to go on a rampage without fear of death in battle, which is why he got the nickname "Mountain Pig".

In Wuyan Dake's view, his companions call him "Mountain Pig", which is a respectful title for him.

Since everyone respects me so much, it's no big deal to reveal the old story of my loss to Brother Tu Dan Ding at this time.

After all, Brother Tudan Ding is known as the number one warrior of most Jurchen tribes, and our "mountain pig" Wu Yanda can fail in the challenge, and we will not embarrass the Wuyan tribe.

These big-mouthed toads around me are very clever with their mouths, how dare they challenge Brother Tu Dan Ding?

Hearing that the people around him said that he could not beat Tudan Dingge, Wugu Lunhualun and Jiagu Xienu, Wuyan Dake nodded and admitted frankly.

At this time, someone teased Wuyan Dake again and said: "I think the "mountain pig" Wuyan Dake won't be the last one on stage, maybe he can defeat the future Great Shaman Tang Kuo Tarlan?"

"The people in Tang Kuo's tribe are protected by shaman gods, so I dare not provoke them."

"Hahaha~ Then you dare to compete with the Pucha Shi family slave of the Pucha Department?"
