Yang Huairen didn't deliberately prepare for the three days, not that he didn't take the matter of recruiting relatives to heart, but that he felt that there was really nothing to prepare.

On this day, the sun was shining and the spring breeze was blowing, and all the envoys of various countries who signed up to participate in the competition were invited to the North Camp of the Great Eagle Army outside the city of Dadingfu.

This place called the Prancing Horse Terrace is actually a school field, similar to the Qionglin Garden outside the west gate of Tokyo City in the Great Song Dynasty, and a grandstand was temporarily set up on the high side of the school field for everyone to sit, so it was called the Prancing Horse Terrace.

Yang Huairen knew at once the content of the martial arts competition and recruiting relatives, and it was roughly inseparable from the competition and the competition of riding and shooting.

Since it was expected, Yang Huairen was not too worried, and several brothers had already made sufficient preparations, which could be described as an immediate battle.

Three days ago, Yang Huairen remembered that there were about twenty or thirty envoys from various countries in the court who intended to compete for the position of Princess Anguo's concubine, but today, there are only eleven people who are really willing to continue to compete.

Whether it is Xiao Sabi, or Wanyan Aguta or Ulaliga, they seem to have been very busy in the past three days, and they should have made a lot of preparations, otherwise the other dozen envoys would not have given up this competition for no reason.

Yang Huairen didn't care too much about what kind of exchange of interests had been carried out between them, whether there was an alliance or not, after all, there were still eleven people, and no one dared to say that he was determined to win.

However, judging from their faces, because they have more than half of their competitors, they are still a little complacent, as if the fewer people who stay, the greater their chances.

Yang Huairen was like a mirror in his heart, the people who really had the strength to win the competition were actually only four or five people, and the others were originally foils, and the results of the competition did not have a great impact.

Even at that time, some people enthusiastically signed up to participate, perhaps in order to fight for some benefits for themselves through this matter, and since they have already got their wish, then there is no need to get involved.

Yelu Hongji is dressed in regular clothes today, compared to the previous court, his mental state is much more relaxed, and he is not so verbose, and the other Khitan nobles and important ministers in the court are also equally comfortable, they have no official business, this trip is purely to see the excitement.

The ghost sister dressed up, and I don't know if it was her own opinion or the rules of the Khitan court, the whole person was dressed up like a flower pillar with a colorful hydrangea, this aesthetic Yang Huairen was also drunk, and had to serve the ancients to be creative.

She sat next to Yelu Hongji, but she was covered by a pink curtain, like a bride waiting to leave the pavilion, and her slender figure in the hazy and hazy did give people a lot of mystery.

Yelu Hongji saw that everyone had arrived, and he didn't talk too much nonsense, so he first raised his glass of wine to everyone and said some nice greetings.

Everyone responded in unison and toasted together. After eating a glass of wine, several courtiers stepped forward and complimented, "I haven't seen you for three days, and Your Majesty's face is very good." ”

Yelu Hongji smiled happily, "Thanks to Yang Jungong, it is the longevity pill he dedicated to me that has a very good effect. ”

When Yang Huairen heard that he was mentioned, he immediately got up and said modestly, "Your Majesty's dragon body is Kangtai, and the blessing of Daliao is also." ”

That being said, but I was snickering in my heart, my brother can make your face ruddy by kneading a few flour eggs, it seems that my brother's flickering skills are not wasted.

In fact, from a scientific point of view, those longevity pills made with flour and flavors have no effect, and they can never really prolong the life of the user by three years.

But people who have been deceived into taking longevity pills must indeed have a psychological suggestion effect, and it is not very strange to change their mentality to make people temporarily refreshed.

There are also special placebos in medicine to treat incurable diseases, although there is no effect in theory, but for those who are terminally ill, there is also the possibility of allowing them to live for a longer period of time, psychology sounds very mysterious, but it is not without scientific reason.

In this way, the longevity pills specially refined by Yang Huairen cannot be said to be purely fake medicines, so he, the treasure medicine party, was at ease at that time.

Yelu Hongji was really in a good mood, and after being polite to everyone, he praised the longevity pill and the green spring in his eyes, and then announced the start of the martial arts competition.

Yelu Yanxi was pushed out as Yelu Hongji's spokesperson to announce the rules of martial arts competition.

"Today's envoys from various countries participating in the contest, whether it is themselves or acting for the prince or son of their own country, because there are too many people participating, so the contest is divided into three games, and the person who can win two wins in three games is the winner, and he can marry the princess of Anguo in this dynasty and become the golden sword horse of Daliao."

As he spoke, he took a brocade box from the hand of the attendant and opened it for everyone to see.

There was really a golden knife in the brocade box, which seemed to be Yelu Hongji's reward for the winner, that is, the quasi-concubine.

This is a custom handed down by the nomads, whether it is the Khitans, the Mongols or other nomadic peoples, the big nobles marry their daughters, and the congratulatory gift to the uncle is a golden knife made of pure gold.

Of course, the golden knife is called a golden knife, and it is not an imaginary golden knife the size of a real practical knife, to put it bluntly, it is a small dagger, made of gold, and the handle of the knife is inlaid with some gems of various colors, which are not necessarily the size of a palm, it is just an ornament, and it cannot really be used to cut things.

Everyone nodded after hearing this, the rules were very simple and fair. It's just that people who really participate in the competition to recruit relatives seem to be a little difficult to win two out of three games.

Indeed, as Yelu Yanxi said, if there are only two people participating in the competition to recruit relatives, then it seems natural to judge the winner with two wins in three games.

But now that there are eleven people participating in the competition, and so many people are competing at the same time, it is already very difficult to win one of the games, let alone win two of the three games.

Then the doubts of the contestants came, everyone's judgment ability, it seems that no one has enough strength to win two of the three games, the biggest possibility is that there are three powerful participants to win one of the three games.

With questions, the Goryeo envoy Wang Zizhi stood up and asked, "Your Royal Highness, if the final result is that there are three people who have won one of the three games, and the final score will be 1 to 1, then how to determine the final winner?" ”

"Uh......"

Yelu Yanxi just read the manuscript step by step, but he didn't think about this problem, and naturally looked back at his grandfather Yelu Hongji.
