A martial arts contest to find a husband?
These four words struck Jing Zhe like a bolt from the blue!
So that's what they meant by "getting married"!
Liu Jinghong actually held a martial arts contest to find a husband?
How... is this possible?
Could it be that she promised to come find Fifth Sister, but her failure to do so made her disheartened, so she held a martial arts contest to find a husband?
But it can't be that bad, can it?
The more Jing Zhe thought about it, the more impossible it seemed, and the more curious he became.
Could it be that, as the two of them said, Liu Jinghong held this martial arts contest to select a husband simply to select iron cavalry?
But this method is too ridiculous!
At this moment, the two cavalrymen also turned around.
They were engrossed in their discussion and no one had paid attention to Jing Zhe. When they heard his question, they answered instinctively.
Turning around, they found a handsome young man standing in front of them, lost in thought. After exchanging a glance, one of them asked, "Who are you? What do you want with our general?"
"..."
Jing Zhe did not answer. After a moment of blankness, his brows furrowed tightly, his heart filled with mixed emotions. His fierce aura instantly erupted, and the two iron cavalrymen felt the pressure.
Where will the martial arts contest for marriage be held?
"Um... walk to the end of this street, then turn left and head west until you see a large open space!"
"..."
The moment he finished speaking, Tieqi felt a blur before his eyes, and he vanished in an instant.
If it weren't for that big, simple-minded man standing right in front of him, he would have thought he was hallucinating!
After the burly, simple-minded man left, another cavalryman slowly spoke up, "He hadn't even said what he wanted to see the general for, so why did you answer him first?"
The cavalryman who had just answered the question scratched his head. He had been so caught up in Jing Zhe's powerful aura that he hadn't paid attention to anything else.
He pouted and said, "Our eldest brother doesn't make fun of our second brother, and you didn't say anything just now either, did you?"
"..."
...
Following the iron cavalry's guidance, Jing Zhe immediately arrived at the scene of the martial arts contest to find a husband. However, he did not find a large open space because the place was packed with people.
At this moment, Jing Zhe finally understood why he hadn't found any young men in the city—they were all here!
Moreover, the area was surrounded by these young men, three layers deep, making it impossible to squeeze in!
If these men don't come when Liu Jinghong holds a martial arts contest to choose a husband, then there's something really wrong with them!
"Why!"
At this moment, a gasp rang out from the crowd, followed by discussions among the people outside.
"Another one down! How many is this again?"
"That's the eighteenth one! Now nobody dares to go up!"
"Didn't you say you were injured? How come you're still so strong?"
"Heh, they've been fighting the barbarians of the Western Frontier for years. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
"..."
As they spoke, a path opened up in the crowd, and two cavalrymen helped a man out, speaking as they went.
"Your kung fu is quite good. How come I've never seen you before?"
"Do you have any ideas about how to manage our Jinghong Iron Cavalry when we're in need of manpower?"
"With your skills, you're sure to achieve great things if you join us!"
"..."
Hearing their conversation, Jing Zhe became even more certain that the person inside was Liu Jinghong.
If Liu Jinghong holds this martial arts contest to find a husband, barring any unforeseen circumstances, given her skill level, no one will be able to defeat her.
Those who lost the battle were immediately taken away by the Jinghong Iron Cavalry and then recruited into the Iron Cavalry Army. This was a disguised selection process for the Iron Cavalry Army!
Jing Zhe was furious. Even if it was a disguised selection of cavalry, using this method would result in a spanking as punishment when they got back!
And outsiders can't participate anymore, so it's a martial arts contest to choose a husband?
Okay, then I'll do it myself!
This is the perfect opportunity to rightfully win over Fifth Sister!
Thinking this, Jing Zhe became somewhat excited. Winning in front of so many people meant he wouldn't have to worry about gossip!
There were so many people watching that all you could see were heads, making it impossible to see the situation inside or even squeeze in. That's when Hanhan arrived.
"Young Master, I heard on the road that because the Jinghong Iron Cavalry is constantly fighting against the barbarians of the Western Frontier, it's much more dangerous than other soldiers, so basically no one wants to join the Jinghong Iron Cavalry! Perhaps it's because there are fewer and fewer Jinghong Iron Cavalry members that General Jinghong came up with the idea of a martial arts contest to find a husband..."
Although he's simple-minded, he's become quite perceptive.
He knew about the subtle relationship between Jing Zhe and Liu Jinghong, so when Jing Zhe went berserk upon hearing about the martial arts contest to choose a husband, he understood his thoughts and tried to explain and comfort him.
Jing Zhe patted him on the shoulder, and without saying a word, leaped up!
"I'll take the challenge of finding a husband through martial arts!"
The next moment, Jing Zhe had already leaped over layers of people and arrived directly in the center of the arena!
Although it's called a martial arts arena, unlike the specially built arenas in Jinxi, this is actually just a flat piece of land.
Jing Zhe looked up and froze instantly.
This... was careless!
Standing in the middle of the arena was a young woman, dressed in silver soft armor similar to Liu Jinghong's. She was tall and well-proportioned, and most importantly, the weapon she held was also a long spear. At first glance, she did indeed resemble Liu Jinghong.
But when it comes to looks, the difference is huge!
Liu Jinghong possessed a stunningly beautiful face that was one in a million, while the woman in front of her, although not bad-looking, was far inferior to Liu Jinghong.
It's not Fifth Sister... then where is Fifth Sister?
Jing Zhe quickly turned around to look.
The arena was an empty circle, with the innermost layer surrounded by the Jinghong Iron Cavalry and a group of women soldiers in soft white armor. In front of the women soldiers sat a woman in golden armor, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a great figure. The originally fitted golden armor was stretched out by her, and her stunning beauty was far superior to that of the woman in front of Jing Zhe.
But Jing Zhe didn't dare linger on her for long; instead, he shifted his attention to the side.
A woman sat in front of Jinghong Iron Cavalry, dressed in snow-white armor with a red cloak behind her. A chestnut-red spear stood in front of her, and she was heroic and beautiful. Who else could it be but her fifth sister, Liu Jinghong?
As Jing Zhe looked at Liu Jinghong, Liu Jinghong was also looking at him, her lips slightly upturned and her eyes sparkling.
She had imagined countless scenarios of Jing Zhe appearing and giving her a big surprise, but then she realized that with the Lunar New Year approaching, he probably wouldn't be able to come and she would have to wait until after the New Year.
But to everyone's surprise, he arrived, and in such a delightful way...
Clearly, the surprise outweighed the joy.
From an angle unseen by others, she gestured towards Jing Zhe with her lip.
"Young master, please!"
At this moment, the woman dressed in soft white armor and holding a black spear spoke.
"..."
Now, Jing Zhe is in a difficult situation.
