The morning light shines through the thin clouds and sprinkles on the Tang imperial city.
A ray of sunlight shines on the high bamboo pole. The autumn wind is bleak, stirring the scroll between the poles.
Under the bamboo pole, there are a large number of people.
At this time, a challenge arena with a length of two square meters has been temporarily built on the open space of the cultural test yesterday.
The half man high wooden challenge arena is surrounded by railings.
Dong Dong.
The big drum under the stage sounded the tee.
At this moment, there is still half an hour before the start of the competition.
The people of the Tang Dynasty who were watching were no longer as excited as they were at the beginning of the literary examination yesterday. Instead, they looked dignified and worried.
Yesterday''s failure in the literary test was a great blow to the people of Datang.
About the contest, people are more worried and nervous.
There was no one on the empty challenge arena, and everyone under the arena began to whisper.
"I don''t know who is the representative of the Tang Dynasty and whether he can beat the Tubo prince."
"The Tubo Prince performed surprisingly in the literary test. He should not spit out so much in martial arts. I guess he should send other Tubo representatives."
"It is said that there are six envoys visiting Tang Dynasty. I think the three next to the Tubo Prince yesterday are literati. Those who stay in Honglu temple are the candidates for the martial arts competition."
"Isn''t it? If the Tubo Prince has both civil and martial arts, it''s OK. In my opinion, this competition is the finale of the Tubo prince, so I didn''t bring it out yesterday."
However, these people of the Tang Dynasty can''t discuss it. Therefore, the Tubo Prince has stepped into the challenge arena.
Today, the Tubo Prince changed his Tang costume, wearing leather armor and felt hats, and his messy long hair was scattered behind his head.
Deep in his eyes, a pair of eyes full of excitement swept under the stage.
For the Tubo prince, this trip to the Tang Dynasty shows not only his talent, but also the rise of the Tubo country.
The once fragmented highland tribe has become a unified highland Empire and has the rudiment of a great power.
Now it is a time of great danger in the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that it is a good time to establish diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty with a high profile!
At yesterday''s literary test, he thoroughly crushed all the descendants of the literati of the Tang Dynasty present and hung a couplet with Chang''an.
This move is a warning given by the Tubo prince to the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Tubo! It''s not what it used to be!
Thinking of this, the Tubo Prince showed a smile on his face.
In the morning light, the cold light on the edge of the iron spear glittered. The Tubo prince, holding an iron spear, pestled on the challenge arena and said in a loud voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you don''t have to bother Mr. Li to preside over the martial arts contest today.
Li Hui, who was about to appear on the stage, was stunned and came to the stage slowly.
Li Hui still looked like a scholar in white, but his bearing was the same as yesterday.
At this time, Li Hui looked particularly haggard and weak, as if he had aged a few years overnight.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Li is not talented. He lost the literary examination yesterday. Here, I''d like to accompany you."
Then Li Hui bowed deeply to the audience.
A royal nobleman bowed and apologized, which surprised the people around him.
When Li Hui looked up, his seemingly weak body slowly straightened his waist and said.
"The scholars lost, because we are not good at learning and not hard enough!"
"Losing is not terrible. Terrible things don''t have the courage to stand up!"
Speaking of this, Li Hui flashed in his eyes, filled with eager hope, and said.
"The Tang Dynasty advocates martial arts. Today''s martial arts competition is an opportunity for us to wash our former shame!"
"Datang men! Cheer up! Show our skills and let the Tubo mission see!"
These words are righteous and dignified.
It seems that in this night, the arrogant childe has grown up and matured a little.
As a loser in the literary test, Li Hui suffered humiliation and depression. There was no need to watch a few people.
However, at this moment, Li Hui came out of his grief and called on everyone instead.
The crowd looked at the unassuming young man in the challenge arena, and their dignified faces disappeared unconsciously.
The warm blood of winning glory for the country slowly poured into my heart.
"Mr. Li is right! We Datang can afford to win and lose!"
"That''s right! This war is a good time for us to wash our shame! We Datang warriors will not admit defeat!"
"Warriors, fight for the glory of Datang!"
For a time, the sound of encouragement spread among the onlookers, and the venue became noisy again.
That dignified, that depressed, slowly began to retreat.
Seeing that the faces of the people were getting better and the lost confidence was recovered again, Li Hui smiled knowingly.
Seeing the encouragement and cheering of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo prince was slightly shocked and said.
"Datang is really a nation with backbone and integrity."
But appreciation goes back to appreciation. The competitive heart of the Tubo Prince is becoming stronger and stronger at the moment, Lang said.
"That''s great! Come on, let me see your warriors in Datang!"
"In today''s war, there are no rules. Whoever falls off the stage is judged as losing!"
After that, the Tubo Prince picked up his spear and smashed it down.
Bang.
On the challenge arena, sawdust splashed everywhere, and a hole with a big bowl mouth appeared under the long handle of the iron spear.
Tubo prince, roared domineering.
"Today! I still want to challenge all warriors in Datang!"
