Chapter 271 The golden man’s provocation is coming The test competition is in full swing, and competitions at the county, state, and road levels are screened at all levels. Folk heroes emerge in large numbers, and the competition between dragons and tigers is exciting. In county-level competitions, the thirty-foot running event has attracted countless eyeballs, and there are endless winners with outstanding results, which is eye-catching. At the state and road levels, the competition becomes more intense, with every contestant trying their best to fight for honor. Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and in a blink of an eye, the grand finals of the Song Dynasty are ushered in. After layers of selection, one hundred and twenty people finally stood out and were successfully shortlisted for this peak showdown. In order to allow more people to witness this feast, Zhao Yingluo assigned the Ministry of Industry to build a stadium that could accommodate tens of thousands of people as early as the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Today, this magnificent building stands in the capital and has become the focus of heated discussion. On the day of the finals, the stadium was packed with people. The audience waved colorful flags and cheered for the players they supported. At this exciting moment, Zhao Yingluo and the courtiers sat in the best seats, overlooking the entire arena.
Her heart was full of expectation and pride, because she knew that this game was not only a feast of sports competition, but also a symbol of the national strength of the Song Dynasty. However, what surprised Zhao Yingluo was that the Jinren and Xixia people actually appeared in the finals. She frowned slightly and asked Zhu Shengfei beside her: "Zhu Qing's family, what's going on? Why did the Jin and Xixia people appear in our competition?" Zhu Shengfei bowed and replied: "Your Royal Highness, the Kingdom of Jin sent people to participate in the national fitness competition after they learned that our country held a national fitness competition in the Song Dynasty. They wanted to take this opportunity to understand our strength and at the same time show off their own strength. As for Xixia People come to participate spontaneously.” When Zhao Yingluo heard this, she was secretly wary. She knew that this game was not just a sports competition, but also a competition between countries. She asked Zhu Shengfei: "What are the results of these Jinren contestants?" Zhu Shengfei showed a solemn look on his face and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the strength of the Jin people cannot be underestimated. They have already shown amazing strength during the selection process, especially their endurance and explosive power, which surprised us. " Zhao Yingluo frowned after hearing this. She knew that the difficulty of this game had increased a lot, but she also believed that Da Song's players would be able to rise to the challenge and show their strength. She took a deep breath, calmed down, and then ordered: "Zhu Qing's family, please pay close attention to the dynamics of the Jin people and the Xixia people, and report to me in time if there is any situation." Zhu Shengfei bowed to accept the order, while Zhao Yingluo turned her attention to the competition field again, silently praying in her heart that the Song Dynasty players would achieve good results. She knew that this game was of great significance to Da Song and she could not lose it no matter what! After giving instructions to Zhu Shengfei, Zhao Yingluo breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn her gaze back to the tense competition field, but suddenly she felt a strange gaze wandering on her body. She looked back and saw Wanyan Ningjie, the new envoy of the Jin Kingdom, sitting not far away, looking at her with a proud expression. Wanyan Ningjie was wearing a gorgeous golden robe and a golden crown, making her look very noble. There was an indescribable confidence and arrogance in his eyes, as if he had foreseen Jin Guo's glorious victory in this game. Seeing Zhao Yingluo turn around, Wanyan Ningjie smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass in her hand, and greeted Zhao Yingluo from afar. His gesture of raising the glass was elegant and calm, as if he was showing Zhao Yingluo the style and upbringing of an envoy from the Kingdom of Jin. "Your Highness, it seems that the excitement of this game has exceeded our expectations." Wanyan Ningjie put down her wine glass and said with a hint of provocation, "Whether it's a 300-foot run or a 300-foot run, our warriors from the Great Jin Kingdom will definitely win the championship. Your Highness, what do you think?" Zhao Yingluo frowned slightly when she heard this. She naturally heard the provocation in Wanyan Ningjie's words, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart. But she knew that at this moment, she could not lose her composure, let alone let the Jin people see her anger and uneasiness.
She took a deep breath to calm down, and then said to Wanyan Ningjie with a smile: "Wanyan Messenger, the result of the competition cannot be said by mouth. How strong the warriors of your Jin country are, you still have to wait and see. The real results will be seen on the field. I believe that our Da Song players will go all out to show their strength.” After hearing Zhao Yingluo's words, Wanyan Ningjie smiled nonchalantly and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is right, the result of the game must be determined by strength. However, I believe that our warriors from the Kingdom of Jin will not It will disappoint Her Royal Highness. They will definitely use their own strength to prove that Jin Guo is the real king of this game." Zhao Yingluo sneered in her heart when she heard this. She knew that Wanyan Ningjie was deliberately provoking her, wanting to provoke her and make her lose her mind during the competition. She won't be fooled so easily! She glanced at Wanyan Ningjie lightly, and then said: "Since Wanyan Messenger is so confident, let's wait and see. I believe this game will be very exciting." After saying that, Zhao Yingluo ignored Wanyan Ningjie and turned her attention to the competition field again. She has made up her mind to let Da Song win this game no matter what! Not only did she want the people of Jin to see the strength and grace of Song Dynasty, she also wanted them to know that Song Dynasty was not something to be trifled with! Wanyan Ningjie was not angry when she saw that Zhao Yingluo no longer paid attention to her. He smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip gently. He knew that his goal had been achieved, and Zhao Yingluo had been successfully angered by him. However, the result of the next game was like a basin of cold water poured on Zhao Yingluo's heart. In the Thirty-foot Run competition, after fierce competition, the list of ten finalists was announced, and Da Song only occupied three places! The remaining four are obviously players from the Kingdom of Jin, and the other three are players from Xixia. In the more intense 300-foot running competition, Da Song's situation was even more bleak, with only two people making it to the finals. Such a result made Zhao Yingluo's face become extremely ugly. She pursed her lips tightly, her eyes revealing unspeakable disappointment and anger. She did not expect that the players from Jin State and Xixia were so strong that they overwhelmed the players from Song Dynasty. She did not expect that the competition she had prepared for so long would actually get such a result. At the same time, Wanyan Ningjie's face showed an even more triumphant smile. He glanced at Zhao Yingluo, and the corner of his mouth raised a mocking arc, as if to say: "Your Highness, look, this is the strength of our Jin Kingdom warriors! You, the Song Dynasty, are no match for us at all!"
