Chapter 142 Cockfighting
Ye Wanqing raised her eyes slightly: "What method?"

"Watch me." Chu Anlan cleared his throat and straightened his body: "Come here, bring me the life and death agreement signed by this prince and Prince Lu."

Lu Jilian's attendant immediately came forward holding the "life and death certificate".

Chu Anlan then let go of Ye Wanqing's hand, and in front of everyone, he displayed the life and death statement with his fingerprints on it.

Ye Wanqing looked in the direction he was looking.

There were only a few lines written on the death certificate:

God and earth, today Lu Jilian and Chu Anlan voluntarily exchange martial arts. Fists and feet have no eyes, life and death are determined by fate. If anything goes wrong, you will bear the consequences yourself. This petition is a witness. The petitioner: Lu Jilian, Chu Anlan.

The date was April 22, the 25th year of the Jiyuan period.

The bright red ink is particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

Among the crowd of onlookers, someone specifically read out the contents of the death certificate aloud to ensure that everyone could hear it.

Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you all hear and understand clearly?"

The nosy young men shouted, "I heard it clearly and I see it clearly."

Chu Anlan nodded, waved to a servant, leaned over and whispered a few words, the servant nodded, and trotted away.

Someone couldn't wait and asked: "Prince Dun, are you still going to fight?"

Lu Jilian also asked with his eyes.

"Let's fight." Chu Anlan smiled and said, "The game hasn't officially started yet, so just wait. Those who can't wait can go away on their own."

There's something exciting to watch, who would want to leave?
Not only did the number of people not decrease, but it increased instead.

Seeing this, Ye Chenting walked up to Ye Wanqing and said, "Qing'er, the sun is too strong this afternoon and there are too many people in the martial arts arena. You should go home first. I will stay here to look after An Lan for you."

"Yes, yes." Ye Chenxi also came over: "Sister, you go home first. After the game is over, I will rush home as soon as possible to tell you the result."

"Hey?" Chu Anlan said anxiously, "I finally got the chance to beat Lu Jilian to a pulp, how could Qing'er not take a look?"

Ye Chenting frowned: "An Lan, stop messing around. Ji Lian is outstanding in everything, and his martial arts are even more outstanding. How did you win him? You really shouldn't have signed this life and death agreement today."

Chu Anlan stopped laughing and said seriously, "In your eyes, I am inferior to Lu Jilian in every way, so I am not even worthy of fighting with him, right?"

"An Lan, that's not what I meant..." Ye Chenting was stunned.

Ye Chenxi also quickly advised: "An Lan, Chen Ting didn't mean that, he is also worried about you!"

"Really?" Chu Anlan frowned.

The atmosphere was becoming tense.

At this time, Ye Wanqing exhaled a breath of foul air and said calmly: "You don't have to persuade and stop him anymore, just let him fight."

Ye Chenting said disapprovingly: "But Qing'er..."

"No need to persuade me, second brother." Ye Wanqing turned to look at Chu Anlan: "Ten rounds, finished within one stick of incense."

Chu Anlan heard this and rekindled his fighting spirit: "Okay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rooster crowing from outside the crowd.

The guard came over with two cages, one containing a white rooster and the other a red rooster. He said, "Sir, the chickens you requested are here."

Everyone looked over there.

I saw that the two roosters were big and fat, with smooth and beautiful feathers, red combs, thick and strong legs, and they looked very heroic and proud.

Although it was the first time Ye Wanqing saw him, she recognized him at the first sight.

Is this cockfighting?

Lu Jilian's eyes were cold and stern. "Sir, it is clearly written on the death warrant that we are competing in martial arts, not cockfighting. It is written in black and white, are you trying to cheat?"

"Who's cheating?" Chu Anlan took the death warrant and unfolded it: "Does it say 'Lu Jilian and Chu Anlan must personally participate in the duel'?"

Lu Jilian's glassy eyes were as cold as ice: "It is indeed not written..." "Isn't that enough? Cockfighting is a competition between chickens."

Chu Anlan closed the life and death agreement and threw it aside: "Master Lu, choose a chicken you like. It will represent you when it goes on the field, so you must choose carefully. Everyone is waiting, so the sooner you choose, the sooner you can start fighting. I promised Qing'er that the winner will be determined in ten rounds."

Lu Jilian lowered his eyelashes to hide the murderous intent in his eyes: "Sir, this is your own choice."

After saying that, he walked to the cage and pointed at the rooster with feathers as white as snow: "I'll choose it."

"Okay!" Chu Anlan smiled brightly: "The red one will belong to this prince. Come, bring the pen, ink and wooden sign.

The attendant immediately presented the writing brush, ink and wooden tablet.

Looking at Chu Anlan who was writing furiously, Lu Jilian's eyes were covered with a layer of haze: "What is the prince doing?"

Chu Anlan wrote a few big words on the wooden signs of his two brothers with his pen moving quickly.

Chu Shaozhen walked over and said, "Why did you write the names? The two chickens look completely different and they won't be confused."

"What do you know? I'm following the terms of the death warrant." Chu Anlan threw away his brush and handed the wooden sign with the ink stains still wet to the servant: "Tie it up with silk thread and tie it to the rooster's feet."

The attendant did so.

Looking at the wooden plaque with the three words "Lu Ji Lian" written in cursive on it hanging on the white chicken leg, Lu Ji Lian's eyes became even colder.

After the wooden sign was tied, the two roosters shook their feathers and looked fierce.

At the same time, guards brought in tall wooden fences to enclose the middle of the fighting arena to prevent the two chickens from rushing out after fighting.

Ye Chenxi moved step by step to Ye Wanqing's side and whispered: "Do you think An Lan won Lu Jilian?"

"I don't know." Ye Wanqing replied.

"It's over..." Ye Chenxi frowned: "If even you don't believe that An Lan will win, then he definitely can't win..."

When he said this, his voice rose slightly.

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ji Lian looked over here.

Ye Chenxi froze all over, looked away stiffly, and continued to mutter softly: "Are your ears so sensitive..."

"What's wrong?" Ye Wanqing asked.

Ye Chenxi coughed lightly: "Nothing, I was just thinking about whether to bet on An Lan or Lu Shizi to win."

Ye Wanqing asked: "Gambling? Do you still have money?"

Ye Chenxi stuck out his tongue: "It's almost all spent."

Ye Wanqing smiled slightly.

Chu Anlan turned around and met her smile, so he smiled brightly at her.

At this time, the Sixth Prince Chu Gongxuan came from behind the crowd.

Seeing him, everyone bowed.

"Cousin, come here!" Ye Chenxi waved.

Chu Gongxuan walked to stand beside Ye Chenxi with a stern face, then looked at the other young masters: "I just left the palace and heard that Prince Lu and Prince Dun were going to compete today, so I came here to take a look. You don't have to be so reserved, just continue to watch."

Although he said this, there were twenty or thirty palace guards standing behind him. How could the young masters who were watching dare to act rashly? Even their voices were restrained a lot.

Lu Jilian was very polite and bowed: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Your Highness."

Chu Gongxuan said: "Let's start."

Chu Shaozhen took the initiative to step forward as the referee and asked the guards to let Chu Anlan and Lu Jilian enter the field.

The attendant took the two chickens out of the cage and handed them to Chu Anlan and Lu Jilian respectively: "Hold them tight, my lord."

Chu Anlan took the chicken and easily tucked it under his arm: "Prince Lu, please."
