Chapter 148: The Battle of the Dragon Boat (2)
Hearing Huo Xiao mention Doudou, Pei Jincheng and the four princes looked towards Yuefeng Tower together. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the eyesight of the four princes is not bad, because there is no internal force, it is impossible to see clearly at such a distance.
He looked hard for a long time, and said a little dazedly: "Ah Xiao, don't you be blinded by me, there are all people as far as the eye can see, and the guests of Yuefeng Building are all standing behind the window, can you see which one is Yuan Er?" ”
Pei Jincheng and Huo Xiao looked at each other and smiled, they had already seen Doudou standing with Pei Jinhong.
Pei Jincheng said with a smile: "Ah Xiao, no matter what, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, face is a trivial matter, don't let Yuan'er worry is true." ”
Huo Xiao restrained his smile and said, "I know." ”
The dragon boat race on the river soon had results.
One by one, the dragon boats successfully crossed the finish line, and the river surface and river bank were boiling again.
Emperor Yongtai ordered the reward to be distributed.
As is customary in previous years, the crowd on the riverbank should have dispersed by this time.
But there was a well-informed person, and soon the news came out that there would be a competition on the dragon boat.
Huo Xiaowang and General Mu Shao competed?
This is simply a more attractive event than the dragon boat race.
The people on the riverbank were still willing to disperse, and even the people who set up small stalls on the roadside didn't care about taking care of their business, and they all crowded into the crowd of spectators.
General Mu Shao is not familiar with them, Huo Xiaowang is the most domineering figure in the Great Zhou Dynasty, although most of them do not know martial arts, but this battle must be watched.
There are even those who are good at gambling and starting a gambling game on the bank of the river.
I want to ask everyone who is betting on who wins?
It's really hard to say, everyone is from the capital, I just hope that Huo Xiaowang in the capital will win, but everyone in the world has a rebellious mentality, and it is more interesting for the weak party to win.
Of course, these excitement have nothing to do with Doudou.
As soon as she heard that Huo Xiao was going to compete with Mu Yingfei in the dragon boat, she muttered in her heart.
Yesterday's various signs show that Mu Yingfei has plans to enter Beijing this time, why did he take the initiative to provoke Huo Xiao today?
She didn't know very well what happened on the dragon boat, but if it was Huo Xiao who challenged Mu Yingfei and killed Doudou, she didn't believe it.
Huo Xiao is indeed arrogant and domineering, but because of this, he will never do such a thing as provoking people.
Only if you think that you are inferior to others will you provoke more powerful people, and it will be the same for everyone.
Seeing that she didn't squeak, Pei Jinhong tugged at her sleeve and said, "Don't worry Yuan'er, Huo Xiao's martial arts are good, that Mu Yingfei will definitely not be able to get benefits." ”
Doudou is not worried about whether Huo Xiao can get out of the way today, as Pei Jincheng thought, Mu Yingfei is not a fool, how dare he do it to his nephew in front of His Majesty, what she is worried about is Mu Yingfei's intention to do this.
He just returned to Beijing yesterday, and it can be said that he has not yet gained a firm foothold in the capital, so why is he so eager to get on the bar with Huo Xiao?
Even if the Huo Mu family has never been on good terms, there is no need for him to be in such a hurry.
She smiled at Pei Jinhong and said, "Second brother, I'm not worried. ”
Pei Jinhong saw that she was not smiling reluctantly, so he looked out the window again, putting aside the fact that Huo Xiao was a quasi-brother-in-law, he was actually very interested in this battle.
I have long heard that Huo Xiao is both civil and military, especially martial arts, and when he was very young, the first emperor asked a master outside the world to teach him personally.
At the same time, a young man with good qualifications, of course, wants to know how high the other party's cultivation is.
Doudou saw Lu Qian leaning against the window lattice but smiled silently, and held her slender hand with a thought: "Lu Jiu, are you also interested in martial arts?" ”
The art of war and martial arts are different, Lu Jiu likes the art of war, but he may not like martial arts.
Of course, Doudou's purpose in holding her hand is not as simple as pulling her little hand.
This girl's thoughts are far deeper than she imagined, and when she heard Huo Xiao and Mu Yingfei mentioned, she couldn't see any change on her face.
Is it because she made a mistake in her previous judgment, Lu Jiu's sweetheart is not one of Huo Xiao and Mu Yingfei, or is she too calm to let herself see the clues?
Once a person's psychology changes, there will be some changes in the body, since it can't be seen on the face, Doudou plans to test what reaction her hands will have.
Lu Qian obediently let Doudou hold her hand, and said with a smile: "I don't understand, it's just a lively look, but it's you, the little prince wants to compete with General Mu Shao, are you really not nervous at all?" Or is it extra confidence in the little prince? ”
Doudou said: "Because I am confident, I don't worry." ”
Lu Jiudao: "Well said! ”
After that, the two looked out the window together, the dragon boat was getting closer and closer to them, and the competition was about to begin.
General Zhennan is famous for his knife skills, and at this moment Mu Yingfei is a knife used by the guards in his hand, of course, although the knife made by the imperial guards is not a magic weapon, it is still much better than ordinary knives.
Huo Xiao actually has no special requirements for weapons, he is no stranger to eighteen kinds of weapons, and the Huo family's ancestral marksmanship and knife skills are also proficient, but he still likes to use swords.
He stretched out his hand to one of the guards, and an ordinary sword fell into his hand.
Mu Yingfei didn't dare to hold it up, and put on a posture and said: "Little prince, the last general will be offended." ”
After saying that, he raised the knife and attacked Huo Xiao, and everyone only felt that the sword light was cold, and the cold air came to their faces.
Huo Xiao naturally would not be polite, the sword was unsheathed, and the sword aura was awe-inspiring.
Both of them are slender and athletic, and the difference is nothing more than the color of the clothes on their bodies.
The sword light is dazzling, and the sword aura is vertical and horizontal.
On the deck, on the top of the dragon boat, people who don't know martial arts can't see the moves clearly.
Including Emperor Yongtai, who thinks that his riding and archery skills are quite good, he only feels that his dragon eyes are overwhelmed.
I never thought that the martial arts of these two young people would reach such a realm.
This is not a battlefield work at all.
It's not surprising that Huo Xiao is so powerful, the master that the first emperor found for him was a master of the rivers and lakes.
But Mu Yingfei didn't fall behind, and he thought that General Zhennan had also spent a lot of effort to cultivate his eldest son.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has a successor, no matter who loses or wins, he is the emperor to celebrate.
Doudou's mood was obviously not as relaxed as Emperor Yongtai, and Mu Yingfei's martial arts were far higher than she imagined.
Of course, she didn't know how much success Huo Xiao had used.
Seeing that these two have fought for dozens of rounds, and they haven't decided the winner yet, this is enough to explain the problem.
Pei Jinhong watched it with relish, and seeing that Huo Xiao and Mu Yingfei had already left the top of the dragon boat and swept towards the river, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Yuan'er, does Huo Xiao know the nature of water?" ”
All the dragon boats that participated in the race have been withdrawn, and there is no place on the river except for water at the moment.
No matter how good Huo Xiao's light skills are, there is a limit, and if he is entangled by Mu Yingfei like this, he will definitely fall into the river sooner or later.
Mu Ying, who has been fighting with the water army all year round, is bound to be water-based, and Huo Xiao will definitely suffer a big loss even if he barely knows how to water!
Do big white dumplings know water?
No one knows this question better than Doudou.
That year in Liaodong, although Da Bai Tangyuan was teasing her, she could see that his water nature was definitely better than herself.
But after all, it was just swimming in the river, not a water fight.
As long as Huo Xiao still has a long brain, he will not choose to go into the water and fight Mu Yingfei.
So what will he do?
Doudou pursed his lips and said, "Second brother, how many of the sons in the capital know how to water?" ”
The situation Huo Xiao is facing is very complicated, Doudou decided to keep it secret for him for the time being, whether to leak the secret depends on whether Huo Xiao can defeat Mu Yingfei before falling into the river today.
Pei Jinhong said with a bitter face: "Yuan'er, we are all northerners, good at horse and land warfare, and we do so much homework on weekdays, who has the leisure to learn to swim." ”
Doudou shrugged, you won't either, why should Huo Xiao be?
