Ninety-one, the heroic score of the Sui and Tang dynasties

On the ninth day of the ninth month, the Double Ninth Festival, the annual Five Kingdoms War was held in Fangchun Garden on the banks of Ganquan Palace, the palace of the Southern Han Xing Palace. It was like a small sports meeting. The insect fighters from various countries stood under the banners embroidered with their own national names. Each team had about ten people. The host, the Southern Han Kingdom, had the largest lineup, with more than one hundred people, each holding a red-colored insect jar, which was spectacular.

Prince Snow Pig wore a green gauze hat and a green satin robe. He surrounded a group of castrated officials and went to the Yuewang Platform of Fangchun Garden to speak up and talked about the way to fight insects, such as fighting insects can make peace, fighting insects can prosper the country, and finally said loudly: "I announce that this Five Kingdoms War of Insects--the opening!"

When the silk and bamboo orchestra are played, the battle against hundreds of insects is first carried out. The crickets in the worm garden of Baoqing Palace are now catching and fighting each other. The crickets are loud and the fifty pairs of yellow-backed insects are biting each other, which is a bit messy.

After the Hundred Worms Battle, there was another ten pairs of green-backed fierce insects. The Northern Song Dynasty, Shu Song, Wu Yue countries where the fighters of the Northern Song Dynasty, Shu Song, Wu Yue were all secretly shocked when they saw that the Southern Han attacked and they didn't know what level of fierce insects were participating in the competition!

Zhou Xuan brought the three scammers, four scammers, and ten imperial soldiers of the palace, and the imperial physician in the room also joined in the fun. Xiao Xun liked to watch his son-in-law fight insects, and he also came with him after changing into men's clothes. He was a thin little scholar, a bit like Lin Hanyun at the time.

According to the insect competition regulations, one person from each of the five countries must first form an arbitration alliance to test the insects, judge the outcome, and determine the violation. Zhou Xuan will participate in the arbitration in the Tang Dynasty, and the Four Immortals are responsible for the specific fight against the insects. The Four Immortals feel very responsible and murmured to the "Snow Lion King" in the black pottery jar.

At Chen, the arbitration envoy of the five countries began to test insects. According to regulations, each country could produce two crickets to fight. This is to prevent the defeated crickets in the first round from being injured and unable to participate in the next round. Two crickets from each side could take turns to play, but Zhou Xuan had only this "Snow Lion King" to fight. The competition system was a single cycle, which means that if the "Snow Lion King" wanted to win the championship, it must pass four levels in a row.

In terms of the fact that last year, I met more opponents in Hongzhou, but the first few rounds were yellow-backed insects, which were vulnerable and just warmed up. The next three rounds were tough battles, while the "Snow Lion King" was a tough battle in life and death, and other countries also had reserved fierce insects, and the "Snow Lion King" was just a cricket fighting.

Zhou Xuan followed the arbitrators of the other four countries to see the Northern Song Dynasty's fighting insects first. Last year's Five Kingdoms War was the Northern Song Dynasty's insect king's battle against the Qinhuai River. The Northern Song Dynasty's fighting insects placed two blue pottery jars on a short table and first uncovered the breathable cover of one of them. This was the chosen fighting insects, the main force on the field. The Five Kingdoms arbitrators all put their heads over to see, and "hissing" in the air.

Zhou Xuan was myopic, and he could see it clearly when he was close. This fighting insect in the Northern Song Dynasty was a pure blue-backed insect, which was somewhat similar to the "Tiger Idiot Xu Chu" that Zhou Xuan had seen last year. Its head is square and wide, covered with green air, but its head is dark and covered with purple air. The dark green pliers are obviously more domineering than "Tiger Idiot Xu Chu", with a serrated tooth, making people worried that their fingers would be bitten off. That's the difference. The cricket in front of him is one level higher than the "Tiger Idiot Xu Chu" - the general level. Moreover, looking at the quiet and atmospheric appearance of the insect, it is also extremely good at regulating it. Even among the crickets at the level of the general, it should be a super fierce insect that is stronger than the general general and weaker than the general insect king.

Zhou Xuan had only seen such fierce insects in the "Cricket Illustrated Record" by Zhu Congyan, a Qing Dynasty man. Jia Sidao's "Cricket Weaving Sutra" and Yuan Hongdao's "Cricket Weaving Zhi" all mentioned this kind of fierce insect with green and big teeth. He believed that it was the best fighting insect in a million. If the insect king didn't come out, who would compete with him?

Zhou Xuan asked: "What is this worm called?"

The Northern Song Dynasty Douzeng Envoy said proudly: "The Purple-faced Heavenly King is so powerful and vast!"

Xiong Kuohai was a powerful general in the Sui and Tang dynasties. The fighting insects in the Song Dynasty did not like to be named after the military generals of the Three Kingdoms, and liked to be named after the fierce generals of the Sui and Zhou dynasties that were closer.

Xuan nodded and praised: "This insect is really called this name, please show the deputy general."

The Northern Song Dynasty Douzhe Envoy opened another green pottery jar, which was suddenly a general-level green-backed insect named "Red-eyed Yellow Xuwu Tianxi". Zhou Xuan looked at the yellow-headed and red-eyed insect and analyzed that its strength was just the same as "Double Ji Dianwei". The difference was small. The Northern Song Dynasty had two general-level super fierce insects with extremely close strength. Even if there was no insect king, there was a great hope of winning the championship.

The arbitrator of the Five Kingdoms went to see the master and deputy fighter insects of Wu Yue. Zhou Xuan had seen the deputy insect. The day before yesterday, the worm envoy of Wu Yue brought two green-backed insects, among which was the deputy general, which was a relatively strong lieutenant general. The Wu Yue people liked to name it after the powerful general of Wu during the Three Kingdoms. The deputy general of this insect was named "Donglai Taishici", and the other one was named "Little Overlord Sun Ce", which was ignorantly had the strength of the superior. It seemed that the abalone envoy had concealed his strength from Zhou Xuan that night.

Zhou Xuan initially judged that Wu Yue Kingdom had no hope of winning the championship this time, and the lieutenant-general cricket is considered a weak insect here, while the "little bully Sun Ce" at the top can only fight against the "red-eyed yellow suzuwu Tianxi" of the Northern Song Dynasty at most. He should have no chance of winning against the "purple-faced king Xiong Kuohai".

The arbitrator of the Five Kingdoms went to see the fighting insects of Shu and Song again. Shu and Song were the countries established by Zhao Defang, the nephew of Zhao Guangyi of the Northern Song Dynasty, occupied the Western Shu and Southern Chu. It has a vast territory and has 81 states. However, the national strength among the five countries is only stronger than Wu and Yue. Zhao Defang is far inferior to Zhao Guangyi. However, when the Shu general's fighting insects lit up the main general's fighting insect, Zhou Xuan's thin eyes suddenly widened-

"The Insect King! The Insect King! Finally I met the Insect King!"

The head is big and the teeth are big, the back is like hard armor, the whiskers are like thorns, the six legs are strong, the square head is faintly raised in the middle, and the green body is full of bright light, and the head is raised, as if there are thousands of insects and females in front of you, showing the appearance of the insect king.

The five umbrella arbitrators all praised the name of the insect king. They asked them together, "General Tianbao."

The general of Tianbao, Yuwen Chengdu, was also brave enough to be inappropriate. Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi were both defeated by Yuwen Chengdu. It seems that Shu and Song dynasties are competing with the Northern Song Dynasty.

The deputy general of Shu and Song worm was a lieutenant general-level insect named "Jin Mai Qin Qiong".

Now it was Tang State's turn to show the fighter insects. The four cynicals took out the insect jar and said, "Our Tang State only sent one fierce insect to participate in the war. Please see, all arbitrators--" Removing the lid.

Zhou Xuan stood upright and watched the four arbitrators leaning down and bowing their heads, his mouth was filled with "Huh, umm" and obviously he was stunned by a white-backed insect. It is not uncommon for the insect king to appear in the five countries. Every year, the insect king comes to the world, but it is really the first time to fight with a white-backed insect, and it is unheard of!

But everyone was very well-educated and did not speak sarcastic. After being surprised, they went to see the fighting insects, the insect king, the insect king, and the insect king again presented by the host country!

The Prince of Snow Pig smiled and personally held an insect jar. In the jar, a pure green cricket was larger than all the crickets seen before, and a little bigger than the "Tianbao General Yuwen Chengdu" of Shu and Song Dynasty. His whole body was crystal clear, as if it was carved from green jade. This was quite similar to the snow-white and thorough "Snow Lion King".

Prince Xuezhu said proudly: "This is the main general of our Han Dynasty fighting insects, the name is 'Insect King Lu Bu'. Haha, the Insect King also has a distinction between high and low. Let's see how the Insect King Lu Bu' in our Han Dynasty fights against the 'Tianbao General'. Is it because Lu Bu is powerful or is it invincible in Yuwen Chengdu?"

The deputy general of the Southern Han Kingdom, Dou Zhu, was also extremely powerful. He was a general-level insect, named "Xiliang Ma Chao". His strength was comparable to the "little overlord Sun Ce" of Wu Yue and the "red-eyed yellow-shuwu Tianxi" of the Northern Song Dynasty. In this way, the Southern Han Dynasty was determined to win the leader of this insect battle.

The insect test is over, and the lottery is started. Let’s see which country is against which country in the first battle?

The result of the lottery is that the first battle on the morning of Double Ninth Festival: Wu Yue vs. Southern Han, Northern Song vs. Shu and Song, Tang State was by bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

In three days, there were a total of ten heavyweight insect battles. The expected excitement attracted a large number of gamblers. Some gamblers who came from the Northern Song Dynasty on a sea boat were traveling back and forth to bet that their main general of the Northern Song Dynasty, the "Purple-faced King" won.

The officials of all Han Dynasty were almost all out, and their "Insect King Lu Bu" won the battle, and the gamble was estimated to be more than one million taels.

Before the war officially started in the Chen period, the odds of Wu Yue against Southern Han were played on the King of Yue were: Wu Yue lost 25 in ten, and Nan Han lost 1 in ten, with a huge difference in odds, and there was no profit. Everyone was optimistic about Southern Han. This is a sure thing. "The King of Insects" Lu Bu is a favorite to win the championship. How can Wu Yue's weak general and lieutenant general resist the enemy!

According to the competition regulations, both sides of the fighter can send the main and deputy generals to fight at will, and the insects will be brightened at the same time before the fighter basin. The Southern Han Snow Pig Prince supervised the battle. The Han State's fighter's envoy showed the majestic "Insect King Lu Bu".

On the other hand, Wu Yue sent the deputy general "Donglai Taishici" to fight, which attracted boos from the Han princes and ministers who were watching the battle on the spot. It was really shameful for the main general to avoid the battle.
