The people who lived in the Luo River Basin were a hardworking and brave people. They were called the Luo Clan. The people here have been farming and fishing for generations.
The scenery on both sides of the Luo River was beautiful, and the scenery on both sides of the river reflected the brilliant splendor of the mountains and the splendor of the water. On both sides of the Luo River, the beautiful scenery on the two sides of the Luo River, and the splendor of the mountains and the splendor of the water on both sides of the Luo River.
This outsider couple had a daughter named Wen Lifei who was proficient in both martial arts and martial arts. Her appearance was even more strange and beautiful:
Tall cloud hair, diagonally inserted ring hairpin, face like March peach flower delicate, brow like early spring willow leaf open, eyes containing autumn water, light, slim waist, in a brocade jacket skirt. The food was made from the treasures of a hundred families, and the clothes they wore were embroidered silk.
When Wen Lifei was not even 18 years old, the outside staff was already worried about the Imperial Consort Li's marriage. For hundreds of miles, many of the rich and powerful young masters wanted to take Wen Lifei as their wife. Unexpectedly, countless young masters from wealthy families were taken on by the exam.
There was really no one who was worthy of his daughter. The clerk let out a long sigh. At that time, the secretary's house had become a very famous one in the Yellow River Basin.
Seeing that Wen Lifei had already reached the age of nineteen, other than the clerk, she also wanted to find a suitable home for her daughter in time. Thus, in many places, people had put out slogans that were passed down from mouth to mouth:
There was a girl from the Luo Family who was from the outer sect. She was nineteen years old, beautiful like a flower, well-educated and well-mannered. She wanted to find a scholar who knew both martial arts and literature, to come here and try to get married …
It was said that on the day of the arena battle, the current emperor and his relatives had disguised themselves as commoners and confidently came to watch the grand selection competition. It was as if the news had grown wings, and was flying all over the streets and alleys and country houses of Roche. In an instant, the entire ancient country was shaken.
This was outside of the official's expectations. It was already too late to dismount from the tiger.
On this beautiful day, the gentle breeze blew, and an open arena of tens of thousands of square meters was set up in Wen Jia Village. On this beautiful day, the gentle breeze blew, and this open arena of tens of thousands of square meters was set up in Wen Jia Village, and for a time, all of the men, women, and children within hundreds of miles came to see the lively scene.
It was divided into three inner and outer circles by the clerks, many of whom were unable to enter, and the walls, the trees, the ladders, the roof, and the haystacks were occupied by those who were slightly taller.
This time, almost every young talent from all over the country had come to participate in this time's Groom Search Competition. Other than being a clerk, and his daughter Wen Lifei, he was also rather picky. Furthermore, because of the rumors of the royal family's indirect participation this time, no one dared to interfere in this matter. However, it was more lively and more pleasing to the eye.
He was about twenty years old, tall and thin, with a long, horse-faced face, fine eyebrows, long eyes, sharp mouth, sharp cheeks, and a handsome face. He was dressed in a purple robe embroidered with satin, and had a purple satin belt around his waist. He was wearing a pair of black official boots.
It was obvious that this person was a government official who came from Beijing and other places. The clerk was extremely happy in his heart.
He introduced himself: ”My surname is Ma, Ma Li Gang, I am here to challenge you.”
His appearance drew bursts of laughter and applause from the audience.
”Alright, please go over there and grab a lot of lots!” A servant dressed in blue and wearing a black corrugated hat led him to a large wooden box filled with leaves for drawing.
Ma Li walked in front of the box and grabbed a small open leaf with his hand. Delighted, this was exactly what the Ma Li gang was good at, so he smiled and walked towards the shooting-range.
The question was immediately announced by the referee: On the same leaf (which was marked by a red rope), three arrows were shot through the leaf, and three arrows were placed on the same leaf.
This was not an ordinary difficulty. If one were to say that he had gone through hundreds of obstacles, wouldn't it be difficult? These three arrows were all sent to the same leaf, making it even more difficult. If one's strength wasn't good enough, then the leaves were easy to break and the arrow couldn't hang on. Even if one's strength was weak, it couldn't penetrate through. The arrow did not look like a life threatening arrow. Instead, it was as light as a reed, like a child's arrow used in games.
