Chapter 405 is wonderful(1/2)
Li Shui knew that he had guessed it when he saw Ying Zheng's expression, so Li Shui became even more attentive.
Li Shui knows Ying Zheng and loves face, so he will definitely not ask.
Sure enough, Ying Zheng swallowed his doubts and suffered a loss after taking this mute.
Soon, Ying Zheng found a line of words engraved on the tables in front of him: Li's wooden utensils.
Ying Zheng exclaimed and asked Li Shui: "What does this mean?"
Li Shui laughed dryly and said, "These cases today were all sent from Li's wooden utensils. Therefore, their names are engraved on it."
Ying Zheng nodded: "So that's it."
Li Shui pointed to Li Xin: "Li's wooden tools are the industry of General Li's tribe."
Li Xin laughed dryly with a little embarrassed look.
Suddenly, Ying Zheng found a line of words embroidered on the mat under him: "Wang's mat."
Ying Zheng asked, "Did this mat be sent by Wang?"
Li Shui nodded repeatedly: "That's right."
Ying Zheng smiled: "This is interesting."
At the same time, the court officials and minor officials also discovered this. They were all whispering to discuss.
The important officials in the court didn't care much about this. However, the officials at the bottom were rubbing the several cases and mats back and forth, thinking: This thing is very well-made, but I don't know the value. After I get home, I should inquire about it.
That's it.
Suddenly, another servant brought pastries.
As the pastry was delivered, there was also a small note with the words: Barley pastry.
Ying Zheng said: "Does pastries have names? They are also unique."
He picked it up and tasted one, and nodded repeatedly: "No, good, this pastry has a unique taste."
Li Shui pointed to the barley on the bottom layer and said, "Your Majesty, that one is Barley that sponsors pastries."
Ying Zheng said to the little eunuch beside him: "Go and thank him for me."
The little eunuch responded, walked to Damai, and bowed: "Your Majesty said that the barley pastry has a unique taste, so I specially ordered my servant to thank you."
Damai and his wife were immediately filled with joy and bowed to Ying Zheng, the top class.
Then, the servants brought the wine from Ma and the rice from Hu... In short, the names of each sponsor came.
Finally, the selection conference is about to begin.
There was a craftsman with a loud voice, holding a loud horn in his hand and whispered loudly: "This time, the guards were selected to protect the women and children of Shangjun's villa from the invasion of evil people."
"There are 50 teams participating in the selection this time, and each team has four people. After the selection begins, the score is given according to the performance of each person. The team with the highest total score is the winner. Therefore, this selection requires not only individuals.
The courage of the people also requires cooperation.”
"At the end of the selection, there will be three teams, a total of twelve people, to enter the escort."
After this man finished speaking, a group of people began to beat drums in a corner of the martial arts field.
The drums were cheerful and shocking. Gao Jianli, who was standing in front of the command, looked desperate: Why do I, a master of Knife, always do such a thing?
The drums rang for a while, and then stopped.
The craftsman held up a trumpet and shouted, "Please enter the team that participates in the selection."
Then, a group of people walked in.
There were a few huge words written on the clothes of these people. Some said: Li's wooden utensils, and some said barley pastries...
All the onlookers were stunned: Can this still be done?
The craftsman was still shouting seriously: "The team that walked in the front is the barley team sponsored by barley pastry. The next one is the Li team sponsored by Li's Woodenware..."
The members of the Barley Team are Xiang Yu and his gang.
Xiang Yu walked in front, his lungs almost burst into anger. He said to the Xiang family's children beside him: "Did Huai Guzi be willing to humiliate us? Isn't this a monkey-playing trick?"
The Xiang family's children were also very angry, but at this time, they could only swallow their anger and persuade Xiang Yu: "General Yu calmed down. At worst, he would kill Huai Guzi with one knife in the future, which would be considered revenge."
Finally, all the teams have entered the field.
The craftsman said again: "In addition to daily patrols, guards should also prevent assassins from attacking. If the assassin attacks late at night, they need immediate rescue. The rush and slowness of the rescue are related to the Shangjun Villa.
The life and death of innocent people. Therefore, the first competition is to compete for speed. The fastest one has the highest score.”
"The best place in Shangjun Villa is 900 feet long. It happens to be around the martial arts field for three weeks. Now, please prepare for each team."
These people all stood on the starting line in a hurry.
The craftsman took out a gong and shot down behind the people. These people suddenly ran like wild horses that broke free.
To be honest, most of the people who participated in the competition were farming farmers. These people do farm work all year round, and their endurance is quite good, but their explosive power is average.
The Xiang family's children led by Xiang Yu liked the most was to shout loudly and wield their swords to kill people, so their explosive power was extremely powerful. After all, on the battlefield, endurance was not very useful.
You have no chance to exert your endurance and are caught up and killed.
Therefore, from the beginning of the competition, Xiang Yu and the other four ran ahead.
The people watching from afar all shouted excitedly: "Barley Team, Barley Team."
Some of these people stood on stones, and some lay on trees. When they saw the excitement, they couldn't help but dance, and some even fell down because of this.
The court officials were still tense at first, trying to maintain their demeanor. But over time, their emotions were also infected. Some held their hands tightly and stared at the people running below, while others couldn't help but look forward slightly.
He leaned his body, as if he was running with his mind.
Soon, Xiang Yu had run for most of the time, and the cheers around him became louder and louder.
Xiang Yu was very happy and felt that he had found his long-lost self-confidence again.
But while he was happy, he was a little confused: What do they always shout about barley?
At the same time, Dabae, who was sitting in the audience, was a little confused: What do they always call me for?
Zhou Gui, who was standing on a huge rock, had a pale face.
He was not invited or sponsored, so he crowded with the people to watch. When he saw the participating team walking out in clothes with the vendor's name, he understood that he had missed a huge one.
Good opportunity.
"It's over. This time, I not only offended the exiled immortal, but also lost the opportunity to make money." Zhou Gui sat on the stone with a little depressed look.
Once upon a time, he also envied Wang Laoshi, who became rich overnight from a small wine dealer and became a well-known figure in Xianyang City.
Now Zhou Gui suddenly realized that he had such an opportunity, but he destroyed it with his own hands.
…………
When they reached the third lap, Xiang Yu's group couldn't stand it anymore. Two laps were equivalent to four miles. After rushing four miles with all their strength, it was me who should be tired.
So their speed gradually slowed down.
They slowed down and the Li wooden utensils that were following behind slowly caught up.
The people of Li's wooden utensils are authentic farmer with dark skin and rough hands and feet. They have good endurance, but they are not good at speed. The reason why they can bite Xiang Yu tightly is simply because they are eager for a better life.
Soon, Li's Woodenware began to go hand in hand with the Barley Team.
The onlookers immediately divided into two camps. One of them gritted his teeth and shouted at the barley team: "Run. Run."
"I'm almost caught up, don't lose, the last lap."
"Damn it, why are you running so slowly? I'm dying to use a whip to slap you."
Xiang Yu and the others gritted their teeth and slightly increased their speed.
In addition, some viewers began to support Li's woodware: "Li's faster, grit their teeth and hold on..."
Finally, the Li family woodware began to overtake. It surpassed the first Xiang family's children, the second Xiang family's children, and the third...
Suddenly, a screamed in the Li wooden utensil and fell on the field.
He sprained his ankle.
At this time, the end point was less than ten feet away.
The Xiang family took the opportunity to exert force, roared, tried their best to rush towards the finish line.
The people from Li's wooden tools worked together to lift the injured person up and run forward frantically.
For a moment, the cheers on the court were like thunder.
The result came out soon, and the Barley team was the first to cross the finish line, which was obvious to all and unquestionable first place.
Li's wooden utensils ranked second, but they were still honored even though they were defeated. Especially the scene of lifting the team members to rush over in the end, everyone admired them very much.
Both the people and the court officials were discussing what happened just now. They suddenly realized that they were already sweating in their clothes.
Wei Yang next to him breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "It's so wonderful, so wonderful."
After she sighed for a few words, she found that Li Shui beside her was staring at her helplessly.
To be continued...
