Beiyue duchy is located in the north of Xuantian continent, with boundless ocean in the north, two empires in the south, zunshang Kingdom and Jianyi kingdom in the East, and Yexiao kingdom in the West.
A month later, Xiang Yu came to Changdong city of Yexiao country.
Changdong is just a small town on the edge of Yexiao country. It doesn't need to settle down here, but in order to reach its destination, Qinghua city must pass through it.
In the past month, supported by a large amount of gold, Xiang Yu frequently changed into a fast horse, and his speed was much faster than that of that year.
"My guest is not a local. Why don't you try our Changdong specialty wine? I'll be sorry if you don't brew it here." Xiao Er of the inn tried his best to sell his wine. Xiang Yu didn't like it, but he asked for a jar for no reason.
After a sip, Xiang Yu's face suddenly turned red. Although this wine is not as strong as Daoxiang wine, it's easy to make a person with poor drinking capacity get drunk.
Just then, three men came into the room. They all looked in their twenties. The first one was three stars in the moon. There was an emerald jade pendant on the waist of the white robe. Holding a green bamboo flute, he looked like a man of noble appearance.
When he passed Xiang Yu, he smelled the sweat left by his long journey and covered his nose with disgust. Then he looked at Xiang Yu's blue linen clothes. His skin was slightly black, and he didn't even have a jade pendant Decoration. It was like a beggar.
"There are all kinds of people these days. Thanks to his practice, he has reached the four stars and the moon. Today is really a bad day."
A sneer wafted by. Xiang Yu continued sipping the wine and didn't care. He abused a lot of this kind of person. In those days, Tang Gongzi was counted as one, and then Qi run, the Royal nobleman, was counted as another. With his delicate appearance, Xiang Yu could slap him silly.
"Young master, why are you angry with such a bitch? Shopkeeper, drive the beggar away. We'll take care of it here!"
"Master he, this..."
The innkeeper is an honest man who has only one month's cultivation in servant territory. He can't afford to offend him at both ends. He is too scared to speak.
Xiang Yu didn't want to embarrass the shopkeeper. He was almost full, so he grabbed most of the remaining wine jar and went upstairs.
"Hum, you're smart. Next time you meet us, you'll have to go far away!"
Xiang Yu calmly went upstairs. What he didn't know was that on a table in the corner, a short man in a hat looked at all this with great interest and poured wine into his stomach from time to time. He must be a drunkard.
Young master he sat down. The strong man next to him poured a cup of wine for him. He picked it up and drank it gently. His face looked intoxicated.
"The wine in this inn is not bad. Please sit down and try it."
Two strong men were overjoyed and drank two bowls. When they filled the third bowl, young master he in the middle suddenly turned red and howled in pain.
"Yes, poisonous..."
Two strong men suddenly silly eyes, just about to break the bowl, two people at the same time cover face to grasp ceaselessly.
"Itchy, itchy!"
The people around them looked at it curiously and found that there were countless red pimples on their faces. They looked very itchy, but a little scratch would make the pimples ooze blood. All of a sudden, the three people's faces were full of blood, especially the well-dressed young master he. His proud face had turned into a honeycomb. He was so ugly.
"Young master he is arrogant and domineering, which offends people, but he is also a little too cruel. It's worse for young master he to break up than to die."
"Shh, keep your voice down, or you will become a leech."
People around him murmured in a low voice. Although they were pitiful to master he, they felt a sense of exhilaration in their hearts. We can see how bad the popularity of master he is.
Just at this time, the man in the hat in the corner walked out briskly, humming the tune of grassland, and soon disappeared in the public view.
The next day, Xiang Yu wakes up from drunkenness. A pot of good wine yesterday makes him sleep comfortably, and his fatigue of running for days is swept away.
"Thank you for your understanding yesterday. The meal is free." The shopkeeper was also a kind man. At this time, he said he didn't want any gold in Xiang Yu's hand.
"Thank you, shopkeeper. How many horses are there from here to Hua City?"
"Why, my guest, did you go to Qinghua city to take part in Miss Sima's son-in-law election? In fact, there is no need to bother. There is a test site of Sima family in Changdong city. If you pass the test, you will be led to Qinghua city. I believe that you will be able to win the beauty with your charm. "
Xiang Yu heard about it for the first time, and then asked the shopkeeper to understand.
It turned out that the Sima family, the largest family in Qinghua City, suddenly came up with a 16-year-old girl who was just like a fairy. Because of her strict family education, she did not associate with men, so when it came to the year of marriage, there was the matter of publicly selecting her son-in-law.
This woman's name is Sima Fei. She has the beauty of a beautiful city. It is said that men will never forget it when they see it. The most important thing is that Sima family is the second largest family in Yexiao kingdom. Even ye family, who controls the royal family, respects her.Therefore, once selected, they can not only get beauty, but also gain great power, which is a fatal temptation for young people struggling at the bottom of cultivation.
Xiang Yu didn't want to get involved in the selection of his son-in-law, but what he wanted to investigate this time was the Sima family in Qinghua city. If he could use the identity of the son-in-law elector as a cover, it would be much safer than sneaking in suddenly. So after inquiring about the test site with the shopkeeper, he rushed over immediately.
The test site is in the square in the center of the city, with a large challenge arena, surrounded by a large number of guards in black.
As soon as Xiang Yu saw these people, he thought of the concealed master who attacked him that day. At that time, the man was also dressed in the same way. It seems that the investigation of Sima family is the right choice.
There are hundreds of young people everywhere in the square. Xiang Yu is about to enter, but he is stopped by a housekeeper like man with mustache.
"Sima family chooses son-in-law. Only those under 25 can sign up. Although the childe is in the state of four stars and the moon, he is afraid to be too old."
Xiang Yu almost fainted when he heard this. He was only 17 years old. Is he really so old?
It's not surprising that the housekeeper's eyesight is clumsy. The people who came here to test their son-in-law are full of confidence, so whether they are handsome or not, they deliberately dress up. For example, Xiang Yu's only purpose is to sneak into the investigation, so they don't even change a set of clean clothes. What's more, Xiang Yu's skin is slightly dark, which makes it hard for people to see his appearance.
"Well, actually I'm under 25 years old. I just look a little old. I'm just testing my bone age here."
Because of the practice of practitioners, most people's appearance does not match their actual age. Goddess over 100 years old, such as Bai Tao, is also very common, so they can only use bone measuring stone to determine their real age.
Housekeeper moustache hesitated for a moment, and there was a lot of disdain in his eyes. If it wasn't for someone watching around, he really wanted to kick Xiang Yu away. In his opinion, it would be more than enough for eight star moon Ning Jing to bully four star moon Ning Jing.
"That's OK. The cost of choosing a son-in-law is five hundred taels of gold. Take it."
Xiang Yu hesitated when he heard about the gold, but now he is also a rich man with 130000 taels of gold. In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, he took out the gold.
Just as he was about to pass it, a clear voice came from behind him: "Fifty Liang has become five hundred Liang. Sima De, you are black enough."
