Chapter 240 Fighting against one's own arena
Lin Baoer looked over and saw that if they were not officers and soldiers, what else could they be?
"He is a county magistrate, isn't he afraid of being criticized for joining in?" Lin Baoer was puzzled.
Lin Zhishen said indifferently: "Maybe it's because Weicheng is located in a remote area, no matter what he does, it won't be spread to the capital."
At this time, some people were ready to start fighting on the arena, but Lin Baoer felt something was wrong the more she watched.
Why is it a fake match? ? ?
One of them kicked the other person off the stage in just a few rounds, without any skills at all.
The rule of the martial arts competition is that as long as one person stands on the arena until the end, it's fine.
Looking at the poor acting skills, Lin Baoer's mouth twitched and her face was full of black lines.
"So fake." She couldn't help but say.
This is totally different from the martial arts novels she had read before. At least they were real swordfights, but this...
was just a formality.
Only Lin Zhishen saw through it all and sneered.
"The county magistrate is sitting there, who dares to really ask for Miss Jiang's hand in marriage?"
If someone really won this martial arts competition, then that person would probably be unable to move in Weicheng.
Sure enough, the five people on the team were knocked down by the same person, and that person didn't even breathe.
When Miss Jiang saw this scene, her face turned ugly. She glared at the dandy county magistrate who was waving a folding fan more than once, and she was obviously fidgeting.
"So, no wonder the male protagonist always takes the stage at this time in novels." Lin Baoer muttered to the side, with her arms folded, watching the amazingly fake competition above at a leisurely pace.
[If the second brother came, it is estimated that these people would not be able to last even one round. In this case, it is somewhat acceptable. ]
"What?"
Lin Zhishen did not hear what she said clearly, and tilted his head slightly to look at her.
Lin Baoer shook her head and pointed to the stage, "Look, it's
the turn of the county magistrate's son." The previous competition ended in just half an hour. When no one dared to challenge on the stage, the county magistrate's son slowly came on stage.
"It looks like Wang Youcai is sure to win, right?"
"Of course. With a county magistrate as his father, who dares to slap him in the face at this time?"
"Alas! Poor Miss Jiang, I heard that she really dislikes Wang Youcai, but Mr. Jiang likes him very much, so she has no choice but to..."
"What else can she do? It's the parents' will and the matchmaker's words..."
[Wang Youcai? Pfft, who came up with that name.]
Lin Baoer was happy for a while, and then she saw Wang Youcai on the stage deliberately making a few poses, and then the person opposite him was "knocked" off the stage on his own initiative.
"Bang!"
The gongs and drums were struck.
"Young Master Wang wins!"
There was a sparse applause from the audience, which made people feel very embarrassed.
"It seems that Miss Jiang is really suffering." Lin Baoer sighed and regretted.
There is no way. In this era, such things are inevitable, and she can't do anything about it.
"Are there any other people who want to challenge?"
"If not, then the winner today is Young Master Wang Youcai!"
Usually at this time, a mysterious person will appear and rescue the trapped girl. Unfortunately, reality is not a novel, and there are not so many participants, so...
"Yes."
A clear and pleasant voice rang out, which surprised everyone below. They looked at the girl who walked towards the ring in disbelief.
If there is no mysterious person to save, then she can only rely on herself.
Jiang Yuzhi walked onto the stage expressionlessly, and casually pulled a red-lined long gun from the weapon rack, pointing the gun directly at the stunned Wang Youcai opposite.
"As long as you beat me, I will marry you."
"I will never go back on my word."
Wang Youcai had never expected that Jiang Yuzhi, who was usually silent, would do such a thing. He stood there in a daze for a moment and did not react at all.
Mr. Jiang was also anxious, and quickly scolded, "Yuzhi, what are you doing! Get down!"
He then smiled and explained to the county magistrate, "Yuzhi may have been frustrated recently, so he acted rashly. Since your son won the championship in today's martial arts competition, the marriage between the two families will naturally..."
"Dad!" Jiang Yuzhi interrupted Mr. Jiang, frowning, "How long do you want to force me?!"
"I said, as long as he beats me, then I will have no objection and marry into the palace willingly. Didn't he just beat the most powerful man? Why, now facing a woman like me, he is afraid?"
This provocation made Wang Youcai's face suddenly ugly, and he held the folding fan tightly and cursed in his heart.
He originally planned to just go through the motions today! Who knew that this would happen? !
However, he didn't think that he would be defeated by a woman, so after making sufficient psychological preparations, he responded directly and loudly.
"Okay! Yuzhi, a word is spoken and it cannot be taken back. Since you have said so, don't blame me for being rude."
"If I offend you, I hope you will bear with me."
Although the county magistrate was embarrassed by Jiang Yuzhi's behavior and was holding back his anger, he didn't think that his son would be defeated by a woman. After looking at Mr. Jiang with a smile, he took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Jiang, you have raised a good daughter."
Mr. Jiang smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"But since Youcai has said so, why don't we wait and see. It would be good if Yuzhi is willing to marry us."
He was very confident and had a plan for his son.
You know, he had hired someone to teach Wang Youcai martial arts since he was ten years old. Although he was not proficient in it, he was more than enough to deal with an ordinary person, not to mention a woman?
Their behavior made everyone sigh. They didn't expect things to turn out like this, but they were all excited.
You know, they have never seen a young lady from a host family personally go on stage to compete in a martial arts competition?
If Wang Youcai really won, then they would have seen a unique martial arts competition to win a bride.
And if Wang Youcai lost...
Lin Baoer's interest was greatly enhanced at the thought of Wang Youcai losing.
"A Shen, who do you think will win?" She clung to the fence with great interest, her whole body exposed, staring at the two people on the stage without blinking.
Lin Zhishen stopped the candied haws vendor who was watching the show nearby, bought a string and handed it to Lin Baoer, "In my opinion, Miss Jiang has a better chance of winning."
Lin Baoer turned her head in surprise, took the candied haws from his hand, and asked vaguely, "Why?"
"Look, the way Miss Jiang holds the gun, you can tell she is a martial artist."
Lin Zhishen helped her hold the candied haws and explained patiently, "But Wang Youcai looks disdainful and arrogant."
