Ancient and modern heroes
Vertically intersecting with Jiuhui Street is Deyi Road, Jiuhui Street is dominated by merchant restaurants, and Deyi Roadside ticket number martial arts hall gathers, the most famous is Fengyuntang, Fengyuntang and Jiuhui Street on the Moon Tower are equally famous, but Fengyuntang is a martial arts hall rather than a restaurant, different from the singing and dancing Shengping in the first lively place in Chang'an, here is the blood of fists and swords.
Some people say that Fengyuntang is a microcosm of martial arts, but real martial arts people scoff at this title, because Fengyuntang is not a pure place for martial arts exchanges, there is no heroic dry cloud of rivers and lakes, and martial arts are linked to monetary interests here.
The largest ring in the center of the lobby of Fengyun Hall is the main arena of boxing, and the rings in each of the other side halls are used for sword, gun, knife, etc. Because boxing is hand-to-hand combat, the scene is the most enthusiastic and rough, and it can also inspire people's hearts the most, so the ring is the largest than boxing, and the number of onlookers on the edge of the ring is the most. People who compete in the ring have a purpose - to make money in the competition, regardless of status, anyone can go on the field to challenge the champion, but first pay a "hanging gold" to Fengyuntang, if the challenge is successful, Fengyuntang will return all the suspended money, and this person can also accept the challenge of others in Fengyuntang, if the challenge fails, the nine achievements of the hanging gold belong to the owner, and the other one belongs to Fengyuntang.
There is a "Fengyun List" hanging on the main beam of each competition hall in Fengyun Hall, and every month ten masters who received the most hanging money last month are discharged in turn, and their names are marked with a price code, and those who want to challenge them come up with the hanging gold opposite to those price codes, they must accept the challenge to become the champion, win the hanging gold, and lose their position on the Fengyun list will be replaced by the challenger.
After the start of each game, onlookers can go to the betting table next to the side to place bets on who will win or lose, and the betting will end after ten rounds on the table. Therefore, this Fengyuntang is equivalent to a casino with many masters, and the people on the stage are gambling, and the people under the stage are also gambling.
Although Fengyuntang is not favored by martial arts knights, it is a gathering place for nobles in Chang'an City, they like to listen to books and sing songs in the Moon Tower, and after having fun, they come to Fengyuntang to pretend to be heroic, and spend a lot of money for a hot competition, such as Su Jiayi, the most happy fifth prince in Chang'an City, and the eldest grandson Changle, the youngest son of the prime minister's family.
The two of them have been practicing martial arts with Da Nei masters and some martial arts heroes since they were children, and they think that their kung fu is still good, so they are not only spectators in the ring, but also have paid the suspension fee, and accepted the challenge in the Fengyuntang competition ring, and what makes them particularly proud is that their name is on the list almost every month. Most of the people who fight in the ring here use pseudonyms and nicknames, and they all use nicknames in order to keep their identities secret, Changle's nickname is "Chang'an Xiaobawang", and Jiayi's nickname is "Huangmen Five Princes".
On that day, Changle walked into Fengyun Hall, the boxing ring of Fengyu Hall was lively, and the hall was full of enthusiasm, but the two people around him were lifeless, Changle pushed Jiayi impatiently: "What's the matter? It's been wilting, you look like this ghost since you saw Wu Ziling that day! I really don't understand! I ask you one last time, did something happen later?"
Jiayi replied: "No, nothing happened, I'm fine." ”
Changle slapped him heavily: "Just cheer me up if it's okay! When is it? It's all your fault, you have been refusing to go out of the palace these days, you look at the list, our rankings have fallen to the end!" he pointed to the list and yelled at Jiayi.
Shen Huayin, who was dressed as a man on the side, was originally distracted and listless, but when she heard that he was so fierce to Jiayi, she became annoyed, pushed Jiayi away, blocked in front of him, pinched her waist with both hands, and yelled at Changle: "Why are you so fierce? You have lost your ranking because you have no ability! Don't rely on others! What is it called here! If you have the ability to win it back!"
Changle was stunned, and said that since the last time she went to the palace to celebrate Mo Li's birthday, this babbling little girl has been a lot depressed, and she is happy about everything, and she has not quarreled with him for many days.
She suddenly broke out like this, which made Changle at a loss for a moment, and the "Chang'an Little Overlord" turned his head away, and said resentfully: "What is the fierce......
Shen Huayin was worried about it. A few days ago, she and Changle Jiayi went to Zhaoming Hall to send Mo Li a birthday gift, she gave her a rare night pearl that she finally found, and after some lips and tongues persuaded Mo Li to accept it, it can also be seen that Mo Li likes his gift very much, and treats her very kindly.
Therefore, that day, she seized the opportunity to privately confess to Mo Li the purpose of her coming to Chang'an - to join Luoyunmen. But Mo Li's words fiercely made her cut off this thought, and there was no room for a turnaround.
When she was in Beiliang, her father showed her identity, and asked her to cooperate with Weiyang to complete the task in the process of choosing a concubine, her father did not want her to be involved in the detailed work, but that time she was helpless to be arranged by her superiors, after the task was completed, her father designed her to leave Beiliang, she readily agreed, but even her father Shen Donglai did not know her true purpose. I wanted to use Mo Li, who knew her true identity, to achieve this goal, but Mo Li was so resolute that she didn't even think about it, she was really disappointed, so she was slumped these days.
Jiayi saw that the two of them were tense again, so she had to pretend to cheer up and persuade: "Okay, okay, painting sound, don't be like Changle." ”
Changle glared at him resentfully.
Drawing a smirk and pretending to be a man's heroic form, he strode with them into the ring, where a fierce competition was taking place, and the ring was crowded with people, and the silver on the betting table was piled up into two hills.
"Chang'an Hero! Chang'an Hero! Chang'an Hero!" The cheers and shouts around were deafening, and these onlookers were gearing up one by one, enthusiastically cheering for the boxers on the stage, as if they were fighting on the stage, which showed that this competition was very exciting.
Jiayi asked Changle: "Who is this Chang'an hero?"
Changle replied: "I don't know, it's new...... Oh, you see, he's at the top of the billboard. ”
They came late, the front was crowded with people, they finally pushed away these and squeezed to the front, just approached the edge of the ring suddenly "bang" on the ring, a burly bald man fell in front of them, his face was red, foaming at the mouth, he covered his chest hard, and then spit a few mouthfuls of blood and fainted.
Jiayi and Changle were a little surprised, because this big man who was beaten so badly was the "Storm Giant" who ranked high on the Storm List every month and won the championship repeatedly, and they had also fought against him, and the "Storm Giant" narrowly defeated them with a few moves every time, and they had a hard time dealing with him, but today they failed so badly.
With the fall of the "Storm Giant", the shouts of the surrounding people were as fierce as an explosion, and the referee came to the stage, struck the gong, and announced: "This time, the champion wins! The Storm Giant failed to challenge Chang'an Daxia for the third time!"
They fixed their eyes on the victorious champion in the stand, at first he leaned on the iron rope next to him to rest, hanging his head and panting, and after the referee had pronounced the verdict, the man raised his head and went to pick up the unpaid gold held by the referee.
Seeing the man's sweaty face, the two teenagers in the audience widened their eyes and looked at each other, Changle pointed at the man: "...... Wu Ziling?"
Jiayi looked at the "Chang'an Hero" on the stage, from shock to another, more complicated feeling, and he said in a low voice: "He is not Wu Ziling, he is Ji Chang'an." ”
"Ah, Ji Chang'an?" Changle was even more puzzled.
Jiayi said: "It's a long story, you still don't ask, in short, this is a completely different person from Wu Ziling." ”
"But they have the same faces! How can anyone look like this? What ...... we saw last time?"
Jiayi said sullenly: "It's Ji Changan." ”
Changle thought that what really happened in the Zhaoming Hall that day, Jiayi didn't let him ask, but he had to break the casserole and ask to the end: "Is it friend or foe?"
Thinking of the scene where Ji Chang'an held him hostage that day, Jiayi said: "It should be an enemy, but I don't know why the imperial sister let him go." ”
Changle became interested, he rubbed his shoulders, and looked at Ji Chang'an, who was walking off the stage, with a wicked smile: "It's the enemy, I have to meet him, I've always been unhappy with Wu Ziling, but he's just a musician and can't fight, now I must make the face exactly the same as him have some color!"
Although he couldn't understand what they said, Huayin just couldn't see Changle's arrogant and complacent appearance, and sneered and provoked him: "Yo, blow you! ”
But Changle ate this set, he and Huayin glared at each other, Jiayi didn't help Huayin this time, maybe he was angry with Ji Changan for holding himself hostage and threatening Jianing, he pushed Changle and encouraged him: "Changle! Go! Teach him a good lesson! Anyway, we are all on the list! How do you know that you can't beat him!"
So Changle turned over and jumped into the ring, and called Ji Chang'an, who had already left the game: "Chang'an hero!
Ji Changan used to drink all day long in Yuqiong Pavilion and sleep on the streets at night, until he had no money on him and was driven out by the people of Yuqiong Pavilion, he had a sense of survival, borrowing wine every day to escape from the world is not a way after all, and the basic survival problem has to be solved. He began to look for a job in Chang'an City, and when he saw Fengyuntang so lively, he wanted to come and mix up a position, until what kind of business was done here, he had the idea of going on stage to challenge and get a huge amount of money. He is still a little confident in his skills, but if he wants to challenge on stage, he has to call a sum of money before he can do it, and he has no money and can only find another way.
After figuring out the rules of Fengyuntang, Ji Changan went to discuss with Uncle Feng, the manager of Fengyuntang, with the mentality of trying, and asked Fengyuntang to lend him a sum of money first, no matter whether he won or lost the challenge, he would return the money, and after he accepted the challenge in Fengyuntang, the money he won was divided with Fengyuntang's thirty-seven accounts, and he suffered a little loss and gave up two percent. Under his entanglement and bargaining, Uncle Feng agreed. However, Uncle Feng originally had little confidence in a handsome drunkard like him, and he promised him that he also wanted to trick him, so he arranged for him to challenge a master of the Fengyun List who was known for his ferocity, but he won.
With the name of Chang'an Hero, he beat all the masters on the list, although he suffered a lot, but he made a lot of money, with this money he opened a long-term guest room in Yuelai Inn, and he can continue to borrow wine in Yuqiongju every day to escape......
Ji Changan stopped in response, turned around, and saw Changle, and Jiayi under the stage on the other side, his sweaty back was cold, but it was not because he was afraid, he was just a little disgusted with these people related to the palace. He didn't know what their purpose was, and he still couldn't guess it after guessing it, and Changle, this kid, looked arrogant and unbeaten, he really couldn't stand it.
Ji Chang'an and Changle looked at each other and provoked each other, "Okay!
Changle asked the gloomy magistrate on the stage: "How much silver?"
I don't know why the magistrate looked embarrassed, he didn't dare to look at Changle squarely, and he hesitated for a while before replying: "Eight thousand taels ......"
Without blinking, Changle took out several large silver tickets and threw them to the magistrate. Ji Changan returned to the ring, and the two were ready to make a move.
The betting officer in the audience glanced at Changle and Jiayi in the crowd, whispered to the little guy next to him, and then hesitantly rang the golden gong: "This time, Chang'an Xiaobawang challenges Chang'an Daxia!"
"Chang'an little overlord, hehe, today I want to teach you a good lesson. Ji Changan warmed up, put on a posture, and sneered at Changle.
Changle took off his brocade coat, leaving only a single layer of clothing, rolled up his sleeves, and glared at Ji Changan with a sharp gaze, his goal was very clear, and he made a move impatiently, and punched Ji Changan's face.
Ji Changan dodged sideways, grabbed Changle's arm with a move, and restrained him with a backhand grab. Changle never expected Ji Changan to suppress him so quickly, he dissolved his brute force, flew upside down and spun, escaped from Ji Changan's clamp, and the two returned to their opposite state.
The two started the second move, and at this time, Uncle Feng, the steward of Fengyun Hall, appeared in the crowd under the ring, looking anxious. After a few moves, Changle didn't take advantage of it, and he saw that it was getting more and more difficult. After a few rounds, Changle was sweating profusely, lying on the iron rope and panting, and the referee went on the court as usual to make midfield adjustments, allowing the two sides to rest for a while.
Ji Changan retreated to the ring, and caught a glimpse of Uncle Feng in the audience, Uncle Feng took this opportunity to throw a paper ball to him, he caught it, opened it and looked at it, he frowned, his eyes swept towards Uncle Feng, Uncle Feng looked a little ashamed. Ji Changan stuffed the paper ball into his belt, clenched his fists fiercely, and continued to fight Changle.
After that, Ji Chang'an made more ruthless moves, Changle was so angry that he was defeated, and Uncle Feng in the audience kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
Ji Changan's moves are not boxing in the strict sense, he is a special soldier hand-to-hand combat technique practiced in the army, and he has practiced taekwondo and Muay Thai since he was a child, so his moves are steady and accurate, and he pays attention to using the hardest part of the body to attack the most vulnerable part of the opponent, and pursues a move to defeat the enemy.
Even if Changle has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, but after all, he is a pampered son, his boxing skills are not precise and powerful, and his moves are too complicated, and he is difficult to defeat Ji Chang'an's military iron fist, the fist he slammed into Ji Chang'an's face, Ji Changan skillfully dodged, but Ji Changan's fist in his abdomen was like a hammer-like blow, if it weren't for his flexible size and good at dodging, I'm afraid he would have been defeated long ago.
"Ahh
His scream was like an earthquake in Uncle Feng's heart, seeing that Changle was beaten so badly, Jiayi was anxious, but he was happy to draw the sound, and wrapped the tooth that Changle spit out with a handkerchief, and shouted with the people in the audience, "Chang'an Hero!
Immediately after a "bang", the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson family was thrown to the ground, Ji Changan's knees pressed his back, and another backhand grabbed his arm backwards, restraining him from moving, so Changle's defeat was decided.
The referee came to the stage, and counted ten times with a little trembling, but Changle still couldn't resist and couldn't get up, so the referee could only glance at Uncle Feng, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and sounded the gong: "In this field, the champion wins! Chang'an Xiaobawang failed to challenge Chang'an Daxia!" The bettor announced again, and the people in the audience who bought Chang'an Daxia and won cheered warmly.
Ji Changan didn't let go at all, Changle lying on the ground was like an angry but helpless little lion, scolding Ji Changan angrily, Ji Changan patted his head: "Convince me or not, persuade me to let you go!"
Changle looked like he would rather die than give in, no matter how Ji Changan twisted his arm, he wouldn't be able to say that word anyway. The referee cautiously leaned over and said to Ji Changan: "The competition is over, let it go quickly." ”
Ji Changan glared at the referee, shook off Changle's arm, and got up to take the suspended gold held by the referee. Jiayi hurriedly came over to help Changle up, and the Chang'an Xiaobawang, who had just suffered the first fiasco in his life, got up from the ground with a swollen nose and a swollen face, and glared at Ji Changan viciously, and then they saw Ji Changan get off the stage until the hanging wall of the boxing stadium dragged down the name plate of "Chang'an Hero", and shouted disdainfully to Uncle Feng: "Uncle won't play with you anymore!" Ji Changan angrily walked outside Fengyun Hall.
Changle pushed Jia Yi away, and also rushed out of Fengyun Hall, and outside the door, he yelled at Ji Chang'an: "Bastard, you stop me!"10
