Shangguan Ziqi felt contemptuous.
They have no internal strength at all, it's strange they can win. They will probably be kicked off as soon as they come on the court.
The lighthouse is about ten feet high and is built layer by layer with bamboo and wood.
The lanterns on the top appear particularly bright in the night, as if calling on the brave to take on the challenge.
Everyone around who was waiting to watch the excitement held their breath, looking forward to this fierce competition.
Yu Yuanzheng was protected by the guards and stood at the very front. Of course, there were government runners standing in a circle to keep the people from the surname Yu outside.
"Daddy, come on." Sanbao saw his daddy's eager figure and started shouting.
Shangguan Ziqi looked over and his wife nodded.
"Dear warriors, get ready." On the high platform next to the lighthouse, a man holding a gong shouted to remind everyone.
“Bang!”
With the sound of a gong, the competition officially began.
The contestants rushed towards the bamboo tower like arrows shot from a bow, using their hands and feet to climb up quickly.
Shangguan Ziqi was agile and quick in his movements, like a nimble monkey, and he quickly climbed up the bamboo tower.
Although Edward and William also tried their best to climb, they were obviously not very familiar with the competitive game of Dawei, and their movements seemed a bit clumsy.
But seeing everyone climbing so fast, they also put all their efforts into climbing up, also using their hands and feet.
They looked very different from the people of Wei, so most of the audience focused their attention on Edward and William.
They slipped a few steps from time to time, causing the audience to laugh.
Despite this, they still persevered and worked hard to catch up with the people ahead.
As the altitude increases, the climbing becomes more and more difficult.
As the space gets smaller the higher you go, the contestants have to attack each other in order to compete.
Those who dare to sign up believe that they have extraordinary martial arts skills.
Some are descendants of aristocratic families, some are people of the underworld, some are long-term escorts, and some are generals in the army.
During the New Year holiday, everyone goes out to have fun.
A large number of people come here for the 80-90 taels.
If they win, the money will be enough for an average family to live comfortably for several years.
When there was still one-third of the distance left, the contestants on the tower began to fight.
If you kick me, it's a very gentle action for me to push you back.
Going further up, you can directly start a show of force, or knock your opponent down.
Fortunately, there was a thick layer of straw on the ground, so no one would fall.
Edward and William were both shocked when they saw the battle situation above.
He paused for a moment.
"Oh my God. The people of Wei are so brave!"
"They can fight so fiercely without swords!"
The two hesitated whether to continue.
"Captain Edward?" William raised his head and motioned to continue.
Edward looked at the straw below and realized that he would not die from the fall.
continue!
William saw him continue, so he continued too.
But William had just climbed less than ten feet when he was hit by a person falling from above. His hands loosened and he fell down together.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the bamboo pole. He only fell ten feet.
This experience taught him to watch out for people falling while climbing and to avoid them.
The two continued one after the other.
The battle above was becoming more and more intense.
Shangguan Ziqi met a martial arts master, and the two of them pushed each other and kicked each other, neither of them giving in.
"Prince Rong, I'm sorry." The man grabbed a bamboo pole, kicked it with one leg, and then kicked Shangguan Ziqi with both legs at the same time like a dragon's tail.
Shangguan Ziqi instantly understood his motive, kicked his legs, and climbed up two feet, just in time to avoid the man's side kick.
Then, taking advantage of the moment when he kicked her below, she dropped her body again and kicked the man's legs down 90 degrees. She lost her grip and slid down.
And this scene happened to be seen by Edward.
It made his eyes sparkle with stars.
"Shangguan is too arrogant."
While the man was not yet able to adjust himself, Shangguan Ziqi quickly attacked him.
When he was stopped like this, there were already three people in front of him who were taller than him.
The three of them also tried to trip each other up.
Seeing an opportunity, Shangguan Ziqi grabbed a person's foot from below and swung it. The person lost his grip and fell down.
And the two men were still fighting each other.
Shangguan Ziqi overtook from the side.
Just as he was about to go up again, the two men saw his motives and joined forces to deal with him.
"Oh, General, you are being so unkind. Are you still short of that little money?"
It turned out that both of them were grassroots generals in the army.
"My wife likes this lantern. I will use the prize money to treat you to a drink." Shangguan Ziqi was very generous.
Without waiting for the two to answer, he climbed up two more steps.
The two were happy when they heard this, but they couldn't let him go, because they knew the general's ability. It would not be easy for them to grab the lantern.
The two of them worked together to do bad things to Shangguan Ziqi.
However, the two did not try their best, and Shangguan Ziqi dealt with them while fighting.
Finally, Shangguan Ziqi was the first to approach the top of the tower.
He took a deep breath, jumped up suddenly, and reached out to grab the exquisite lantern.
The audience burst into warm applause and cheers, cheering for his victory.
Shangguan Ziqi stood steadily on the top of the tower, holding the lantern high in his hand, a triumphant smile on his face, looking down at Yu Yuanzheng and the three children.
"Oh oh oh, Daddy is the best." The three babies clapped their hands vigorously.
By the time Edward and William had climbed halfway to the lighthouse, the light had already been taken down.
Later on, they stopped climbing and focused on watching the official chess performance.
It made them feel excited.
The two men came down the tower panting, looking up at Shangguan Ziqi, their eyes full of admiration and wonder.
For the first time, they witnessed the powerful martial arts of the Wei men, and also deeply realized the profoundness of the Wei martial arts culture.
Yu Yuanzheng walked up and said to Edward and William with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. Although you didn't win the championship, it's worth participating."
Edward and William nodded repeatedly, indicating that they benefited a lot.
"Your Highness, the Great Wei martial arts are so fascinating. Can I learn it?" Edward said passionately.
"Mr. Edward, I'm afraid it's difficult. If you want to master our Great Wei martial arts, you have to start learning from the age of five, persist for a long time, and not slack off at all." Yu Yuanzheng spoke the truth and did not mean to hit him on purpose.
"Oh, it's all wrong." Edward shrugged helplessly. He was already over 40 and no longer qualified.
Shangguan Ziqi came down from the top of the tower and handed the lantern to Yu Yuanzheng with a smile on his face.
Yu Yuanzheng took it and looked at the lantern carefully. It was slightly larger than ordinary lanterns, and the painting on the lantern was so beautiful.
Chang'e seems to be dancing in the moon, walking in the clouds, or overlooking the world with a happy expression.
"My husband, you are so awesome. I will treasure this lamp." Yu Yuanzheng smiled sweetly and raised the lamp.
Shangguan Ziqi looked at her gently and said with a smile: "As long as Madam likes it, I will get more lanterns for you if I have the chance in the future."
"good."
The affection between the two of them can be felt by everyone around them.
"Dad, I will also need to find someone to help me get the lantern in the future." Sanbao interrupted abruptly.
Um?
What does this mean?
