"Look, isn't that Old Li?" As they were talking, Wei Zheng pointed at the viewing platform and shouted.
The people on the grandstand all looked in the direction he was pointing. Li Jing, who was dressed in armor, was striding toward the grandstand.
"Are you old fogeys talking bad about me behind my back again?”Li Jing walked up and said.
"Old Li, I can testify that Old Zhangsun said that you were afraid of embarrassing yourself and didn't dare to come.”Cheng Yaojin said loudly.
It sounded like a loudspeaker was turned on. Even from afar, they could hear it clearly.
"Embarrassing? How am I embarrassing?" Li Jing looked at his old companions and asked in confusion.
"About your son-in-law." Du Ruhui lowered his voice and reminded him.
Hearing Du Ruhui's reminder, Li Jing was stunned for a moment before he couldn't help but laugh.
This was the crux of the matter.
In the past two days, he had also heard a lot of gossip. They were all talking about his son-in-law's participation in the Chang 'an Competition. They said that his son-in-law would definitely not dare to participate in the competition. Even if he came, he would lose face in the end.
As for Zhangsun Wuji and the others, they clearly had the same thoughts as the others. They were either certain that their son-in-law would not participate or that their son-in-law would definitely suffer a crushing defeat.
After the previous test, he was still very confident in his son-in-law.
"A bunch of old fogeys. You'll be surprised later.”He glanced at Zhangsun Wuji and smiled to himself.
However, he didn't show it, and his expression remained the same.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let him be.”
Looking at Li Jing's indifferent expression, everyone present was stunned.
Because in their impression, Li Jing cared about his face the most. How could he be so calm about this matter?
In the training field.
Below the arena that had been built long ago, the eunuchs from the Great Ming Palace held the long roster and began to count the number of people.
In the team, Cheng Chuliang was looking around while Qu Pingyang was also looking around.
"It seems that the son-in-law of the Li family doesn't dare to come.”Qu Pingyang said with a smile.
"It's already the beginning of the day. After the end of the day, it's useless even if he comes over again.”Zhao Chengxian said with a smile.
"What a pity. I was thinking of teaching that guy a lesson in the competition.”Qu Pingyang said in disappointment.
" Don't worry. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. He is just a live-in son-in-law. Even if he has some talent, since he has already married into the family, even if he becomes an official, he won't be able to go anywhere. He doesn't know martial arts, so he can't walk the path of joining the army. I'm afraid that he can only be a good-for-nothing for the rest of his life.”Zhao Chengxian said.
Hearing this person's analysis, the few people present nodded in agreement.
"Duke Wei is not young anymore. If one day he travels to the west, we'll see who can still protect his son-in-law. At that time, he might even be kicked out.”
"Qu Pingyang." At this moment, the eunuch from the Great Ming Palace called out Qu Pingyang's name.
Qu Pingyang didn't dare to continue chatting. He walked out of the crowd and stood in the line of people whose names had been called.
The secretaries next to him wrote his name on a long bamboo slip. Then, they handed the bamboo slip to the general in charge and placed it into the bronze urn.
"Cheng Chuliang."
"Yes."
Cheng Chuliang also walked out from the crowd.
"Duan Xin."
"Yes."
The names of the aristocratic family disciples in the crowd were called out one after another.
"Hou Wenxin."
"Here." A loud voice rang out from the crowd.
When the eunuch called out Hou Wenxin's name, the surrounding disciples all looked over with fear in their eyes.
Following the loud voice, a burly man strode out.
This burly man was eight feet tall and had thick arms. He was much stronger than the disciples of the other aristocratic families who had come to participate in the competition.
The group of Lingyan Pavilion officials on the grandstand also looked over.
"Hou Junji's kid is getting more and more powerful. Even your Cheng Clan's second son and Qu Clan's son might not be his match.”Li Xiaogong said.
"If you have martial strength but no brains, you can at most be a pioneer.”Li Jing, who was sitting there, said lightly.
The others turned their heads and looked at Li Jing, who was calm and collected. They couldn't help but purse their lips.
At least Hou Junji's family has a son with extraordinary martial prowess. Your Li family doesn't even have a son, and you can only rely on your daughter to fill the numbers in the army. You've found a son-in-law, and he's a weak scholar who doesn't know martial arts.
You, Li Jing, are just sour grapes.
Looking at the leisurely Li Jing, everyone ridiculed him in their hearts.
In the training field.
"Tang Feng." The eunuch finally called out Tang Feng's name.
Hearing the eunuch call out Tang Feng's name, Qu Pingyang and the others revealed sinister smiles.
"Yes."
From afar, a voice that wasn't too loud could be heard.
At this moment, the lively martial arts field instantly fell silent. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
Tang Feng, who was wearing a green martial arts uniform, strode over.
"No way, this son-in-law of the Li family is really here.”Someone in the crowd said in disbelief.
The smile on Qu Pingyang's face froze.
On the grandstand, Zhangsun Wuji and the others looked at the young man who was striding forward. Then, they slowly looked at Li Jing who was sitting beside them.
"Old Li, why didn't you stop your son-in-law from causing trouble? On the martial arts stage, swords and knives have no eyes. He doesn't know martial arts, so if he's not careful, he might lose his life.”Cheng Yaojin glared at Li Jing and shouted.
