Chapter 874

"Then I have to excuse myself; Young Master Gu, please sit for a moment."

Seeing Gu Hanyuan wave his hand in acknowledgement.

He did not mind Gu Hanyuan's rudeness.

He put on airs again.

And slowly walked to the main seat.

Helian Tieshu coughed lightly.

Relieving the awkward atmosphere just now.

He said loudly:

"Welcome, heroes and heroines, to our Western Xia to participate in the marriage proposal for Princess Yinchuan. Our country's ruler is unwell, so I will preside over the marriage proposal matters."

Gu Hanyuan pondered.

The situation in Western Xia might be more complex than imagined.

The Mongol Yuan's plot was not small.

He still had to go and investigate it himself.

Shangguan Haitang was somewhat troubled.

After all, she had come to propose marriage for Zhu Houzhao.

But now she couldn't see Li Yuanhao.

Did she really have to participate in the competition?

Helian Tieshu saw that no one had any objections.

He said with satisfaction:

"Princess Yinchuan is the apple of our country's ruler's eye. Therefore, the chosen husband must be a dragon among men. Thus, there will be both a martial arts test and a literary test."

This statement immediately caused an uproar.

After all, there were relatively few people who were proficient in both literature and martial arts.

Especially some Jianghu heroes who didn't even know a single character.

It was fine to let them compete in martial arts.

It would be fatal to let them compete in literature.

Therefore, many people protested.

Helian Tieshu did not care about everyone's protests.

He said forcefully:

"If you are unwilling, you can leave on your own."

The scene immediately became quiet.

After all, they had traveled thousands of miles to Western Xia for the marriage proposal.

Even if they didn't have confidence, they had to try first.

How could they retreat before it even started?

Helian Tieshu continued:

"If you are not confident in any of the tests, you can also find someone to participate on your behalf; after all, influence is also a kind of strength."

There was another uproar in the hall.

Those royal scions were naturally extremely proud of this.

While those who were alone and helpless were greatly dissatisfied.

However, having learned from the previous lesson.

They also knew that since they were in Western Xia.

They could only follow the arrangements.

Not long after, it became quiet again.

It was just that many people had lost confidence.

Helian Tieshu stood up and greeted:

"Everyone, please follow me to the martial arts arena now. We will conduct the martial arts competition there first."

After saying that, he led the way and left.

Everyone followed him to the martial arts arena.

Helian Tieshu began to announce the rules.

"One-on-one duels, the winner advances until only ten people remain. Do not deal fatal blows, otherwise, you will be disqualified." ===== CHAPTER 876 =====
