Chapter 46 Promotion of the Organization Conference (3)
The promotion competition on the third floor is not as lively as the first and second floors.
Because they are all officials in the court, everyone is committed to the purpose of entertaining emotions and enjoying each other, and they are familiar with each other in the fight. Although they can also decide the winner and lose the winner, they are far inferior to the first and second floors.
However, as for crickets, the quality of the crickets of the officials on the third floor is much higher, because most of their crickets are sent by subordinate officials or merchants with interest, and each one is a good insect selected from a hundred.
This competition adopts a very simple win, advance, defeat, retreat and elimination system. Participants on the field pair up in pairs, and the winner of each game advances to the next round, and the loser directly loses the qualification for subsequent competitions. The system is simple and effective, greatly shortening the time to enter the finals.
Xu Ziling saw the woven pot next to the old man's chair. It was obvious that he also came to participate in the competition, but after a long time, no one came to compete with him.
After a while, a bright laugh came.
Tong Guan, surrounded by everyone, suddenly walked towards them, and the maid Yue'er followed him and held the woven pot for him.
As they got closer, Tong Guan, who was energetic, said, "Mr. Dazai hasn't competed before. How about I compete with you?"
After saying that, Tong Guan noticed Xu Ziling and remembered that he had seen him on the second floor just now, but he didn't think much about it, just thinking that he was the old man's guard.
Yue'er, who was standing beside Tong Guan, also saw Xu Ziling who was with the old man. After hearing Tong Guan's words, she raised her face, pouted her mouth, and glared at him like a demonstration.
Xu Ziling ignored her actions and saw the old man beside him gently saying, "Since Tong Shumi is interested, I have to respect her, but I should obey her orders." As he said that, he stood up from the chair and walked to the next to the basin.
With so many people standing, Xu Ziling couldn't sit anymore, so she stood behind the old man.
However, the next scene made Xu Ziling quite angry.
Those officials who followed Tong Guan were divided into two or three levels and stood there without going to the old man, which made Xu Ziling the old man alone. Compared with each other, they were undoubtedly putting pressure on the old man.
The old man was careless and picked up the jar and wanted to lead the green cricket inside into the fighting basin, but his movements were a little awkward. He was attracted by three or two times but did not bring the cricket into the fighting basin. Xu Ziling took the jar from his hand and helped him bring the cricket into the fighting basin.
The old man with a hunched body and a wrinkled face stood in opposition to the burly and tall Tong Guan, and his momentum was instantly pressed to the bottom of the valley.
Tong Guan looked at Yue'er gently and said, "Xiaoyue, put the cricket in."
The maid said "um" and hugged the jar to the basin, opened the lid, and put the crickets in the jar in.
Before the gate was opened, he heard the person behind Tong Guan shouting: "Mr. Tong is amazing. Master Dazai's big and heavy teeth may not be able to withstand it."
Xu Ziling looked at Tong Guan's cricket carefully when he heard this. The cricket teeth were not big, but the size was amazing, just like a black stone, the size of someone's thumb. Although the old man's cricket had a pair of big teeth, his body was much smaller.
Yue'er touched the head of the iron marble with the grass. It immediately opened its white teeth and whistled a few loudly. Xu Ziling also touched the head of the heavy teeth with the grass. It also opened the pair of yellow marble and whistled a few loudly. In terms of momentum, it seemed that it was not inferior to the iron marble.
Both sides had teeth and screaming, and one person next to him drew the basin in the bucket and lifted the gate to start the battle.
As soon as the two insect kings met, they immediately opened their big teeth and rushed towards the other party, collided with each other, and bit them with each other.
The iron marble kept wrestling with the heavy teeth, forcing it to retreat step by step, making its hind legs unable to be used, and the advantages of the tooth clamps could not be used.
The officials behind saw that the iron plaques were firmly in the upper hand, and they flattered them one after another.
"What a fierce iron marble, it's like crushing when you come up!"
"I had expected that such a huge iron marble could beat it?"
"That's that's it, that's it. How could this kind of insect king be seen casually."
Yue'er listened to the people praising the iron marbles, and laughed with honor, staring at the Douban excitedly.
The big and heavy teeth in the basin tried to push the wall to fight back the iron marble, but the iron marble was directly pushed to the wall of the basin, biting its teeth, and taking advantage of the opportunity to throw it out, just like a big back span.
Seeing this, everyone cheered loudly.
The so-called defeat is like a mountain of fall, and the battle between crickets is nothing more than that. After being hit by a big and heavy teeth, they became a little timid. When they met the iron marble, they were already unable to do so. They bite and retreated. Finally, they simply flapped their wings and kicked their legs, jumped to the top of the bucket, and stopped whispering their teeth.
In this way, the winner has been decided.
Xu Ziling and Yue'er took the cricket back into the jar respectively.
Tong Guan smiled: "Master Dazai, I'll give in."
The old man said lightly: "Tong Shumi is more skilled, so I have nothing to say."
Tong Guan laughed: "Then I will go somewhere else first, so I won't disturb Lord Dazai's quarrel and ask for peace." After that, he led everyone else to go somewhere else.
Xu Ziling kept observing Tong Guan secretly and found that he was calm and knew everything around him. From coming to leaving, he looked kind and kind. His qi cultivation skills were obviously extraordinary, and he was very likely a martial arts master.
The old man next to him never looked at the cricket in front of him. He only brought one cricket, obviously not for the competition.
The old man took the jar that Xu Ziling was holding and said, "Zi Ling, I'll go back to the mansion first. You have nothing to do in the future, so you can come to my mansion to play chess and chat with me, the silly old man."
Although the old man lost power for the time being, his background is still there. This statement is like a naked recruitment, which makes Xu Ziling a little flattered: "Adults love kids so much, how can kids be ungrateful? They will come to visit them in the future."
He nodded slightly, and the old man took the woven pot and walked downstairs slowly.
Watching the old man leave slowly, Xu Ziling felt respectful. This is the person who truly considers the people of the world. Under the pressure of Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others, he can still maintain his own views and not be subject to the general trend.
Although the recapture of Yan Yun was the highest vision since the founding of the Song Dynasty, could the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty at this time be able to bear such an important task as the old man said?
This matter had nothing to do with him, but under the influence of the old man's sincere feelings, he couldn't help but have such questions.
If you don’t like such a country, the Han people are always Han people. When it comes to wars between nations, you must resolutely stand on the side of the Han people.
Just as Xu Ziling was thinking in the corner, the third floor competition was approaching the end.
The third floor is smaller than the first floor and the second floor. Most of the officials who came here are just a formality. In addition, Tong Guan's iron marbles are too shocking, and many officials' squatting will give in after a few rounds of scrambling.
Yue'er, who was holding the jar for Tong Guan, was also very powerful. Although the officials did not know the relationship between this little girl and Tong Guan, they saw Tong Guan's doting on her, so they said and praised her very much, which made Yue'er, who was already floating, look redder and her steps were much bigger.
Xu Ziling saw the maid's glorious appearance and thought that something would happen to her, so she went down the second floor to see what happened to Yu Geer and the others.
After going down the second floor, I found that the competition on the second floor had already finished. Many people had moved to the backyard to wait for the finals, but Yu Ge'er was still sitting by the window chatting with Yang Qi. When he saw Xu Ziling coming down, he waved to him.
"Why have you been there for so long? What about that little maid?" Seeing Xu Ziling coming over, Brother Yu asked.
Xu Ziling said lightly: "She is in the mountains and she is holding Tong Guan's iron marble to kill everyone."
Yu Ge'er said in surprise: "That Tong Guan also has an iron marble? But then again, why did Tong Guan ask that girl to help him get the can?"
Xu Ziling shook her head: "I don't know much, but according to my observation, Tong Guan seems to like her very much."
Brother Yu'er's eyes rolled and he whispered: "Are you an old castrator trying to find someone to pass on the family line?"
Xu Ziling was stunned and said angrily: "Then this old castrated man is too bad, Yue'er is only thirteen years old!"
Brother Yu punched him: "Where do you want to go? The old castrated bird is gone. What else can you do? He probably wants to recognize a daughter or son or something."
Xu Ziling said in confusion: "He adopted his children and passed on the family line. Aren't he afraid that the emperor would be angry?"
Brother Yu looked up at him and said, "You don't know this. The old eunuch is preparing to lead troops to regain Yan Yun. If he succeeds in regaining Yan Yun, he will return to the capital with the Great Victory Army. The emperor will be happy. What can he do? It is also not impossible to regain Yan Yun's meritorious service and be named King of the Different surname."
This awakened Xu Ziling, and felt that Tong Guan’s thoughts were probably like this. I have to admire the profound eyes of this old man who was born as an eunuch.
While the two were chatting, officials on the third floor walked down one after another and saw the three people chatting by the window. They took a few random glances. Someone recognized Yu Ge'er, but only took a look at him more and said nothing.
Seeing that the time was almost over, Brother Yu said to the two: "Let's go, let's go together, the show is about to come on."
The two nodded and followed Brother Yu down the stairs.
When we arrived at the backyard of Baxianlou, there were already people standing around. The competition area in the middle was separated by the people from Baxianlou and left for the people who were playing the game, so that the people who were watching the game were not allowed to get too close. For the sake of convenience, Baxianlou placed a circle of step-shaped high stools around each basin to facilitate the audience to watch from a high place.
The winner of the third floor was Tong Guan, so the original six-person draw turned into five-person draws, and one of them could directly advance bye.
After a long time, the maid Yue'er, who took the lottery to replace Tong Guan, drew an air number and advanced directly in the first round, which made her very happy.
The other four people started the battle, namely the winner of the A game, the winner of the White Dragon Scale, and the winner of the B game, the winner of the B game, the iron marble of the winner of the C game.
The winner of the C game was a merchant named Cao. His cricket was also an iron marble, but his size was much smaller than Tong Guan's one. However, the fierceness of the iron marble still made the audience shout as soon as he appeared.
The competitions on both sides were held at the same time. At this critical moment, they were undoubtedly exciting competitions, which made the audience want to have more eyes.
After putting down the crickets, at the command of the referee of the Baxian Tower, both sides began to beat the teeth with grass, and four chirpings rang almost at the same time.
Chapter completed!
