Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 65

[Chapter 64]

The first shot is over. Lu Kui was finally acquired by an outsider Qiao Ci.

Although this result was unexpected, none of the Youzhou sergeants present felt ashamed, instead they were elated.

Qiao Ci is the younger brother of Junhou’s wife and the younger brother of Junhou. Since he is the brother-in-law of Junhou, that is, most of Youzhou people, what is the difference between him winning the championship and the Youzhou people winning the championship? What’s more, the demeanor he showed just now, especially the reversal of the last arrow, was really wonderful, and everyone who witnessed it was heartbroken.

The sergeants talked about the scene just now, and waited for the next fight to start.

Fighting is the arena. The two face each other, the loser will step down, and the winner will continue to accept the challenge. In this cycle, the final winner is Li Kui. For martial arts, physical strength, and even willpower, it is a great challenge. There are no restrictions in the arena except for disabling the darts and meteors.

As far as fighting in the army is concerned, riding and shooting is actually more practical.

But this is troubled times. Troubled times only honor heroes.

In terms of martial spirit alone, ring fighting can fully reflect the charm of personal heroism. Therefore, everyone is looking forward to this real arena competition.

…

Lulitai has an excellent field of vision, and can clearly see the panorama of the big arena in the middle of the school grounds.

But as soon as Qiao Ci’s riding and shooting ended, Xiao Qiao began to be a little absent-minded.

Although I knew that my brother should deal with the arm injury after going down, I was still a little worried. He is even less interested in watching people fight bravely on stage. Sitting there, it was inevitable that I would start walking.

She glanced at Xuanwutai first.

Xuanwutai is not far from the side of Lulitai, and its position is lower than Lulitai, so it is clear at a glance.

Su Ehuang sat beside a group of Yuyang noble ladies, sitting in an elegant posture, with a condensed expression, and his eyes fell to the center of the school grounds.

The scene when her nephew Su Xin caused the audience to cheer just now didn’t seem to have had much impact on her. She doesn’t talk to the nearby Yuyang ladies. The lady of Yuyang did not seem to be close to the legendary “Mrs. Yulou” who came from Zhongshan, married Liu Li, became a widow, and now returned to Yuyang from Luoyang. No one took the initiative to chat with her. I only glanced at her once or twice, openly or secretly, and looked at her seemingly casual, but in fact, carefully combed hair, the steps in her hair, the dress she put on, and where she sat, all revealed from head to toe. The kind of “Luoyang fan” who seems to want to suppress these people. Then he whispered a few words to the woman nearby.

But Su Ehuang has always been the same, no matter what the eyes of the people around him are, he is steady.

After watching Su Ehuang, Xiao Qiao looked at Wei Shao again.

He and Gongsun Yang, Li Dian and the others were sitting high on a viewing platform opposite the arena, with their sabres sitting in the center, wide shoulders and waist, very conspicuous, and it took almost no eyesight to see his familiar face at first sight. silhouette.

Xiao Qiao suddenly became curious. Emperor Su E appeared here as if he had fallen from the sky. Does Wei Shao know that she is also here, sitting on the Xuanwu platform not far from him?

She secretly observed Wei Shao for a moment. Seeing that his eyes seemed to be falling on the two warriors who were fighting each other in the ring, he would occasionally turn sideways and say a word or two with Li Dian or Gongsun Yang who were sitting next to him, as if he was evaluating the skills of the warriors on the stage. .

Xiao Qiao watched for a while, but he never looked back.

Xiao Qiao came to a conclusion, he should not know yet.

At this point a samurai in the ring won. His opponent was ruthlessly thrown off the ring, got up and left in shame. The victorious samurai stood on the stage, receiving applause from all sides.

Xiao Qiao was attracted, and just as he turned his eyes to the ring, he saw Wei Shao suddenly turn his head.

Although it’s a bit far apart, Xiao Qiao intuitively believes that his two eyes should be directed in this direction.

Xiao Qiao suddenly felt a guilty conscience of being caught peeping behind his back, and immediately looked at the arena without squinting.

Wei Shao looked at Xiao Qiao, who was sitting upright, from a distance, and withdrew his gaze.

He’s trying to restrain himself to focus on the brilliant duel of his samurai in the ring.

Don’t bother to pay attention to his eldest brother Wei Yan, who is sitting not far from him, what is he looking at at the moment, and what is thinking in his heart.

Otherwise, if he were to see another scene like Wei Yan looking at her from afar, he was afraid that he would be completely unable to control his emotions and would have an attack on the spot.

Every time, when he thought of the shyness that Lan Yun told him at the time, Wei Shao felt that the blood in the blood vessels under the skin of his body was boiling, and countless needles were piercing him closely.

He didn’t want to believe it. But he knew that Lan Yun, this woman, no matter what purpose she was in, what she said was true.

He and his cousin Wei Yan have been brothers for nearly 20 years. Because he is a few years older than himself, he has always acted steadily and reliably, never made any mistakes, and he has a natural trust in him.

It is also because of this that when he suddenly learned that his brother not only harbored ulterior motives for his wife, but also blasphemed against her, he felt the anger of betrayal, and fell deeply into a feeling completely beyond what he had ever had before. In the huge inescapable shame of cognition.

If it were someone else, it would not be enough to sever the hatred in his heart, and ten of them would have been chopped into meat sauce by him long ago.

But this man happened to be his eldest brother.

Even though it had been two days, he had been trying his best to restrain himself, but at this moment, when the scene he imagined appeared in his mind, Wei Shao suddenly felt that there was a root in his blood. Needles began to prick him, making him unable to concentrate.

“Have you seen it, Junhou? This is the handsome talent I mentioned to you just now. His surname is Shi Mingjun, a native of Panyun in Dezhou, he is an ancestral spear-fa, and his arm strength is extraordinary. His ancestors were heroes, who used to be the commander of Xingyang, but his family fell behind. Returning to my hometown to farm, I didn’t want to listen to anyone’s recommendation, so I searched for him…”

Li Dian leaned over a little, pointed to a warrior in the ring who was fighting his opponent, and said with great interest.

The warrior was in his early twenties, sturdy and majestic. He used a fine iron spear eight feet long.

Hearing Li Dian talking to himself, Wei Shao finally came back to his senses, forced the image out of his mind, concentrated again, and turned his eyes to the ring.

…

Shi Jun is really strong in martial arts, and he is very brave. He lived up to Li Dian’s expectations. He even beat the seven people who came to the stage to challenge him. After picking the last challenger off the ring, Shi Jun slammed his iron gun and shouted: “Who is still dissatisfied? Panyun Shi Jun is here waiting!”

He looked around, but no one in the audience dared to go up to fight.

Li Dian Aicai was overjoyed when he saw this, and was about to applaud when he suddenly saw a person standing up on the White Tiger Platform opposite, jumping down from the zhang-high viewing platform, striding towards the ring, and the meteor came in a blink of an eye. Seven feet tall, with leopard shoulders and monkey back, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, none other than Ding Qu, the righteous son of Yuan Zhe who came with Yuan Dynasty the day before yesterday.

Ding Qu turned over and got into the arena, and said loudly: “I am the next Mi Ding Qu! I went to Yuyang with my uncle the day before yesterday, and I received hospitality to this day. When I was in Shandong, I also heard about the Luli Conference in Youzhou. Today I was fortunate to see it. I just saw that Shi Panyun was very skilled and challenged again. I was tiring for a while, so I came to the stage, but I didn’t know that this Luli Conference would allow me to be ugly to a foreigner?”

He stood up against the wind with the halberd in his hand. He looked quite arrogant.

…

Ding Qu, a descendant of Miren’s family, became famous quickly after joining Yuan Zhe. Last year, Yuan Zhe was fighting in the Beihai. He was caught in a trap and was trapped in a heavy siege. Fortunately, Ding Qu fought to protect him, but he was killed again from the siege and escaped for his life. Since then, he has been greatly appreciated, and he has been collected as a worm, and he must take him with him when he goes in and out. This time Yuan Dai came to Youzhou, and Ding Qu was sent to accompany him. During the banquet the day before yesterday, I encountered a dismounted horse. Ding Qu did not dare to attack at that time, but he was angry and wrote down the humiliation. He had already had the desire to press people down and get his face back in front of the sergeants in Youzhou. Finally, after waiting for this opportunity, I couldn’t help but jumped out and appeared, and took the stage to fight. After speaking aloud, his eyes couldn’t help but look at the figure sitting high on the Luli Platform opposite.

There are nine out of ten men in the world who are lechers. This Ding Qu is also not exempt. I came here with Yuan Dai early in the morning. When I got off the horse, I happened to see Xiao Qiao getting off the carriage with Mrs. Xu. At that time, I guessed that she should be Wei Shao’s wife.

Wei Shao from Youzhou married a woman named Qiao from Yanzhou last year, who was beautiful and beautiful. Ding Qu had already heard about it. Seeing that this little woman was dressed in gorgeous clothes, she was so beautiful that she had never seen in her life. At that time, she couldn’t help but glance at it several times. It was only after a long time in my heart that I jumped out at this moment. In addition to being ashamed before the snow, it is not that I didn’t want to take this opportunity to show my true skills in front of the beauty.

How did Xiao Qiao know that he accidentally fell into the eyes of others. After sitting for a long time, I finally saw that Shi Jun Wudi, I thought it was over, but unexpectedly, another person suddenly jumped out. Hearing that there was a hint of provocation in his words, he immediately focused his attention, looked closely with his eyes, and was concerned. stand up.

…

Li Dian glanced at Wei Shao and saw that his expression was indifferent, with no sign of any intentions.

On such an occasion, since Ding Qu was challenged, he had no reason to act as the host. He simply said the rules, and the drums resumed, and Shi Jun and Ding Qu fought together.

This Ding Qu really lived up to the title of the champion of Yuan Zhe’s army, and he was fierce and fierce. Although Shi Jun is also excellent in martial arts, his experience is shallow, far less than Ding Qu’s experience in hundreds of battles, but after a dozen of them came back, Ding Qu slapped him on the back with a stick, vomited blood, and was defeated.

Yuan Zhe was complacent, and used the halberd to pick up Shi Jun’s spear, which fell on the ground, held it high, and strode around the arena

. With a look of anger on his face, he stood up from his seat.

Xiao Qiao’s heart also hung slightly. She turned her head to look at Mrs. Xu beside her. Seeing that she didn’t move, she didn’t get up. Only the gaze that looked down was a little dignified compared to just now.

…

The Youzhou sergeants on all sides, who were still shouting just now, stopped in a blink of an eye. Seeing that Ding Qu was so arrogant, the audience suddenly buzzed, and all faces showed anger.

Shi Jun was ashamed and rushed to the Wei Shao viewing platform, kneeling down to apologize.

Wei Shao’s eyes skyrocketed, but there was no sullen expression on his face, he only narrowed his eyes and raised his chin slightly.

Li Dian understood and said, “Victory or defeat is a common thing, why do you have to blame? Go down and heal first.”

Shi Jun bowed his head and left. On the stage, Ding Qufang stood still, looked at the beautiful figure on the Luli stage again, and said to the opposite: “I heard that the Marquis of Yan of Youzhou, the three armies of Wuguan, are known as the god of war. Willing to ask for advice. Why can’t we meet. Today is cheap, and on this good opportunity, can Yanhou give me some advice?”

These words were extremely arrogant and rude. It was Li Dian, who had experienced hundreds of battles and was very self-restrained. Hearing this, he was also angry. He was about to get up when a figure beside him slowly got up.

Wei Yan said, “Who are you? But the dog and horse under Yuan Zhe’s seat, who was sent for dispatch, was lucky enough to win a game, and thought he turned into a human being? How come you have the qualifications to compete with the monarch who commanded my 400,000 soldiers in Youzhou? Daijun Wei Yan, I’m not talented, I’d like to have a few tricks with you. If you beat me, then don’t talk about it!”

Wei Yan jumped off the high platform, walked to the weapon rack, took an iron rod, and quickly climbed up On the ring.

When the sergeant saw Wei Yan on stage, the crowd immediately became excited again.

Ding Qu saw that he was just taking an iron rod as a soldier, obviously he didn’t take himself seriously. Slightly startled, then angrily said: “Alright. It’s you who humiliated yourself, don’t blame me for being merciless.” Ting Ji came up to fight.

…

Wei Yan and Ding Qu in the arena were fighting, Madam Xu sat on the high platform, her one eye kept staring.

At first her expression was dignified, but gradually calmed down.

A moment later, Xiao Qiao looked at her, her expression was as usual, she turned her head and said to Xiao Qiao: “This guy is begging for a fight. He even went to my Youzhou door to be savage. It’s better to let Yan’er kill his spirit.”

Mrs. Xu As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qiao heard a burst of cheers from the school grounds, followed the sound and saw a long halberd flying out of the air, Wei Yan iron rod swept across, lightning fast, and followed the example of Ding Qu. The technique of hitting Shi Jun hard, hitting him on the back with a heavy stick, Ding Qu was immediately beaten on the top of the ring, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

Ding Qu was embarrassed and angry. Struggling to get up to fight again. The head of the iron stick in Wei Yan’s hand had already pressed heavily on his throat, and he said maliciously, “Forgive me for not wanting to kill you? No matter how violent Yuan Zhe is, what can he do to me?”

Ding Qu’s throat was locked and he couldn’t move. There was that Yuan Dai, who saw that the situation was not good, so he stepped down in a hurry, hurried to the front, and said to Wei Shao: “Marquis Yan, calm down. He is really too reckless, so he didn’t listen to my advice and made a fool of himself. I hope Marquis Yan will see. In front of my brother, spare his life. After I bring it back, I will tell my brother truthfully, send envoys with courtesy, and come to apologize!”

Wei Shao raised his eyes and looked at Wei Yan on the opposite ring with a calm expression. .

Wei Yan looked at him for a moment, then slowly took away the iron rod.

Yuan Dai hurriedly ordered someone to come to power to carry Ding Qu away.

Wei Yan got off the ring amid the cheers of the soldiers in the audience. At this point, the Luli Conference is over. Although the process was twists and turns, the scene was thrilling. Not only were young heroes like Qiao Ci and Shi Jun selected, but in the end, Wei Yan fought against Ding Qu, and even more vigorously, the sergeants were all elated and heroic singing.

Mrs. Xu saw the two brothers Wei Shao and Wei Yan coming towards Luli Terrace from a distance. Knowing that the two of them were here to pick her up, she got up from her position and went down the steps with the support of Xiao Qiao and Zhu Shi. Finally, she met the two brothers who came to pick her up.

Mrs. Xu showed a look of relief, and said, “Brothers are of the same mind, and their profits will cut gold. Youzhou has two of your brothers, I am very relieved!”
