Zhu Qi suddenly became nervous, but fortunately the uncle asked with a serious expression in the next second:

"I heard that the young master's surname is Tang, and I asked him which branch of his ancestors was? If he moved to Yingtian Mansion within three generations?

To be honest, the young master looks quite familiar. My surname is Tang, and my ancestral home is Bashu. Maybe I have seen it before."

This uncle might be his future father-in-law, so Zhu Qi immediately put down his attitude and responded respectfully.

It is naturally impossible to have something to do with the Tang family in Bashu. Originally, the identity was just a nonsense. If it was related, it would be difficult to deal with it when the time came to be exposed.

After hearing Zhu Qi's words, Bai Tang Yu'er's father, Tang Xiaozu, nodded, and knew that he didn't know him anymore. He exchanged some polite greetings and said nothing more.

When Zhu Qi saw that the situation was not exposed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he heard everyone in front of him start to say their intentions.

The leader of the Chongshan Village, surnamed Bai and named Dongfang, said that he and others were here to find a girl, and they followed the girl all the way. If Zhu Qi didn't recommend it, he hoped to go upstairs and take a look.

In order to avoid misunderstandings, Bai Dongfang also explained it specifically, saying that the girl was very good at light skills. If she deliberately hid, it would be normal for Zhu Qi and others to not find it.

It must be Bai Tang Yu'er who was talking about it, but Zhu Qi had already seen Bai Tang Yu'er leave and he had nothing shameful about it, so he let Bai Dongfang and Tang Xiaozu search.

Originally, this room belongs to someone else, not to your own.

Bai Dongfang didn't expect Zhu Qi to be so reasonable. After thanking him, he hurriedly took someone up to search Bai Tang Yu'er's whereabouts.

The final result was naturally not found, and the other Li people guarding outside also shook their heads, indicating that they did not see Bai Tang Yu'er coming out.

Bai Dongfang and others thanked Zhu Qi again, and then took the others away.

On the way, Tang Xiaozu couldn't help but say to Bai Dongfang:

"My father-in-law, that young man just now looks different from an ordinary person."

Bai Dongfang nodded and said:

"The young master Qiyu is so majestic and extraordinary. The most important thing is that there are many masters around him. Many of them just feel the breath but don't know the location."

Tang Xiaozu also nodded, and couldn't help but worry and said:

"Can he be in the officialdom?"

Bai Dongfang shook his head uncertainly and said:

"If I were really from the officialdom, I wouldn't have come here to recruit brides. I am just a chieftain and I have no power to speak of.

Besides, if it is really a marriage between the officialdom, it will be the elders who come here.”

Tang Xiaozu nodded and said:

"I think so, but the Yingtian Mansion came here, it was really too far away."

Bai Dongfang also nodded and said:

"I think he is also a well-informed person, and he didn't say that, but his family is in Yingtian Mansion. Recently, he went to Chengdu to do business. He heard about this and admired the beauty of our Yu'er. He came to the competition."

Tang Xiaozu nodded, and the two of them no longer doubted anything. A person came over to report not far away, saying that the eldest lady had found it, and she just went out to get some breath and had already gone back by herself.

Tang Xiaozu and Bai Dongfang hurried back.

After they left, the content of the conversation between the two of them had been spread to Zhu Qi soon.

There are so many masters around Zhu Qi, so naturally he cannot be wasted.

He always wondered why Bai Tang Yuer's family was so good that he suddenly wanted to compete to recruit a bride.

After all, Bai Tang Yuer is only sixteen years old, so she is not as anxious to get married.

Now that he heard the back master and the conversation between Bai Dongfang and Tang Xiaozu, Zhu Qi became more and more convinced that there must be unknown inside information behind this competition to recruit a bride.

And it is likely to be related to the Ming Dynasty government, otherwise why would Bai Dongfang and Tang Xiaozu be so afraid of people from the government background to recruit parents?

Could it be that I wanted to rebel and send Bai Tang Yuer out in advance to ensure safety?

When Zhu Qi thought of this, he frowned, but he felt that the possibility was really not high. What was this idea? Who would still think of rebellion?

What's more, Bai Dongfang was already the chieftain of the chieftain. The Ming Dynasty inherited the policies of the Yuan Dynasty and had a very relaxed management of the chieftain and had great autonomy.

The policy of changing the land and returning to the current will have to wait for hundreds of years. Bai Dongfang really has no reason to rebel.

I can't figure it out even though I think about it, so I can only let it go for the time being.

As for explaining how tomorrow's game is, it's not something Zhu Qi needs to worry about.

To be honest, since becoming the King of Liao of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qi can understand that Zhao Min's mood in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

I obviously don’t know any martial arts skills, but there are a lot of martial arts masters around me who can use them at will, and there are court officials to support me wherever I go. This feeling is just a matter of being angry with the martial arts people: “Dog Prince!”

However, the possibility of this sentence is not very high. Although Zhu Qi didn't know what the situation in the Ming Dynasty was, judging from the attitude of Lan Xian'er, a senior martial arts figure, towards his Ming Dynasty Liao King.

The martial arts world is not a stubborn opponent of the government, not to mention that Zhu Qi made so many contributions in foreign wars, and he feels that he should still be very popular among the people.

No matter what, when Zhu Qi got up the next day, a list of participants in this competition and a detailed report on their homes had been respectfully handed over by Gao Jin.

Good guy, the eight generations of ancestors have investigated it clearly.

After all, these people are from famous families, so it will not be too troublesome to investigate. You will know it after a little inquiry.

They are all rich gentry in Bashu and Central Plains or sons of martial arts families. As for officials, there is really not one of them.

After Zhu Qi finished his breakfast, he took the crowd and went to the agreed place to prepare to start the competition.

The competition venue is on the large open space in the round fort.

At this time, the space was already full of people, and it was crowded with people.

Bai Dongfang and the other elders appeared under the shed built in the open space in front.

There are rows of chairs under the shed, and those who can sit there are all respected people from the Li people.

The ten young men, including Zhu Qi, who participated in the competition, soon arrived at the competition arena under the guidance of the Li people.

The other young men were looking at each other, but Zhu Qi didn't care at all.

And at this moment, Bai Dongfang stood up and announced the rules of the competition loudly.

There are mainly two competitions, one is a martial fight and one is a literary fight.

When he heard that there was a fight, many young men showed a look of embarrassment on their faces.

Although he is poor in learning literature and rich in martial arts.

But the Six Arts of the Gentleman was no longer the era when the poet Li Bai, a scholar, won the first place in the martial arts world at that time.

It was almost lost during the Song Dynasty.

By this time of the Ming Dynasty, the atmosphere of literati practicing martial arts was naturally gone.

Scholars do not practice martial arts, let alone those rich children.

On the contrary, some people who are in the world who practice martial arts account for the majority.

Bai Dongfang naturally considered this, so he quickly continued:

"This martial arts fight is naturally not about comparing with each other's martial arts battles, but about comparing endurance and tenacity.

The rules of armed struggle are very simple. We Li people have been hunters in the jungle since we were young.

Within three hours, as long as you can hunt wild beasts in the forest and bring them back, even if you pass the level, if there is no one who can bring them back, the martial arts battle will be considered a failure, and the subsequent literary battles will not need to participate."

After Bai Dongfang finished speaking, the young men and men breathed a sigh of relief one by one.

It's just going to hunt, and as long as they don't let them fight, the problem is not big.

Anyway, they have more subordinates and servants, are they afraid that they will not be able to catch their prey for three hours?

This is the dense forest of Bashu. There are no things in the forest. If you are not lucky, you may encounter jackals, tigers and leopards.

However, Bai Dongfang's next words made everyone feel heartbroken again.

"Because it is the test of you and others themselves, this exam is not allowed to bring subordinates and servants.

If you find out, follow the cheating! Don’t be lucky, many of us are watching in the jungle.

On the one hand, it is to protect your safety, and on the other hand, it is to monitor you and prevent you from cheating.

If you all understand what I understand, I announce that the fight has officially begun!”

After Bai Dongfang finished speaking, the young men and men became nervous one by one.

The servants below also quickly surrounded them.

Some people who know how to do kung fu are okay, so they just took the bow and arrow and set off.

And those who don’t know how to do it are a bit difficult to deal with.

But this is just about hunting, and it doesn’t mean that you must bring back any prey. It’s considered passing the test if you catch a rabbit.

But I believe that for those young men who can’t do anything and live in luxury, catching rabbits is also difficult.

For example, Zhu Qi.

Zhu Qi was very sure that he would not catch a rabbit by putting himself in the jungle outside, let alone hunting.

But it doesn't matter. There are so many masters behind me, all of them come and go without a trace.

These so-called warriors of the Li tribe are nothing compared to the masters behind them.
