Chapter 52: A Different Comparison
"Ahem, ahem—"
On the top terrace, Xu Buling just picked up the teacup and took a sip, and saw that the sword qi below was choked, and coughed lightly.
Zhu Manzhi stared at the fence of the terrace with wide eyes, and carefully looked at the ordinary scholar below:
"Gongzi Xu, this is Mei Qusheng? One sword moves Chang'an? ”
Xu Buling put down the teacup and nodded: "Tang Jiujian can't pull it out, it must be him, Fubao's senior brother." ”
Zhu Manzhi's expression froze, and he turned his head and frowned:
"Who is Fubo?"
The little eyes were a little suspicious.
Xu Buling was a little amused, raised his hand and patted Manzhi'er's buttocks: "I'll know later." As he spoke, he continued to look at Mei Qusheng in the ring.
The name Mei Qusheng is very loud in the rivers and lakes, and now in the market, there is just a saying that 'the sun and the moon are shocked, and a sword moves Chang'an', the former is needless to say, and the latter refers to Mei Qusheng's martial arts performance in the imperial city a few years ago.
A few years ago, Mei Qusheng came to Chang'an to study, and at that time, no one had heard of this scholar knowing martial arts, only that he was Song Baiqing's protégé, and he spent all day in Guozijian pondering articles, and he was unknown.
At a banquet in the imperial city, Song Boqing took his protégé to the banquet, and many officials praised the son of a marquis, who was both civil and military, Song Baiqing was the great sacrificial wine of the Guozijian, and his personality was old-fashioned, and he directly commented on the sentence: "The literary style is acceptable, the martial arts are just a few fists and feet, and the art of war and strategy are not at all", that son is also studying in the Guozijian, so naturally he will not say anything, but his husband is a little unhappy - the students I taught are not good? Why don't you say you're just a nerd after you taught yourself?
After arguing with each other for a few words, Song Ji alarmed Song Ji, and Song Ji asked Mei Qusheng if he knew martial arts, Mei Qusheng was still pretending at the time, and came with a sentence of "I understand a little", and then Song Ji asked Mei Qusheng and the son of the marquis to fight in front of the palace, so as not to quarrel with a group of masters, needless to say.
Since then, there has been a saying that 'a sword moves Chang'an', this sentence was still commented by Jia's father-in-law under the amazement, and the son of the Hou Ye has not practiced martial arts since then, and he directly has a psychological shadow.
can be worthy of such praise as Father-in-law Jia, the gods are naturally spread outside, and all the ladies also flock to it, but Mei Qusheng is very low-key, and he has been studying in Guozijian for many years, perhaps because he was annoyed by the endless, and it didn't take long for him to leave Chang'an, and he didn't really see much.
Xu Buling couldn't help but have a little headache when he saw Mei Qusheng running over to interrupt - there is no void under the fame, just with the fire of Fang Cai's sword, he is definitely worthy of the words 'one sword moves Chang'an'. He has recovered more than forty percent at present, regardless of his life, Mei Qusheng estimates that he will have to lie down for another month. And at present, he can only 'restore two percent' to act for the people behind the scenes, and two percent of his strength obviously can't beat Mei Qusheng.
In order to expose the hole card for a broken plaque, Xu Buling pondered for a while, then stood up and walked down the main building of Longyin Pavilion......
------
In the ring, with the appearance of Mei Qusheng, the atmosphere suddenly became lively, and countless young martial artists showed reverence and greeted them offstage.
The emcee's expression also changed from the initial bland to sincere fear, and after letting the doctor carry Tang Jiu down, he walked up to him and raised his hand:
"It turned out that Mei Gongzi was here, and it was really unwelcome."
Mei Qusheng held the sword in both hands, his movements were a bit like holding a ring ruler, he didn't have the temperament of a chivalrous man, and chuckled:
"I happened to pass by, and when I saw the excitement here, I came in to take a look, and my hands itched for a while, which made everyone smile."
"Where, Where, ......"
When a weighty guest arrived, the master of ceremonies was too late to be happy, and then turned his eyes to Situ Huyu:
"Situ Shaoxia, do you want to come up and have a discussion with Mei Gongzi?"
Situ Huyu is not stupid, Tang Jiu was seconded again, his martial arts are a few percent higher than Tang Jiu, it is impossible to fight, and the current wealthy family raised his hand and declined:
"Mei Gongzi's swordsmanship is well known, I won't be ugly, anyway, Tang Jiu'er lie down, and the three swords have my share."
Yang Song, the iron wire door next to him, also nodded.
The master of ceremonies agreed with a smile, and then set his eyes on the top floor of the main building at the rear, waiting for today's main owner to show up and have a double dragon gathering.
The scene also began to be lively, and all eyes were eager.
Step-Step-
Soon, crisp footsteps sounded.
Below the main building, Xu Buling walked out of the gate with a snow-white sword, and many people bowed down to salute, and their voices were a little quieter.
Mei Qusheng's expression was calm, and he raised his hand and saluted:
"See Xu Shizi."
Xu Buling's face was cold, his chin was signaling, and he was about to say a few words, when a loud roar came from the window of the building next to him:
"Xu Buling! You've got to win! I've taken all the money I used to buy rouge for my aunt to place a bet, and if you lose, I'll be finished—"
There was silence in the audience.
Xu Buling's expression stiffened slightly, looked up at his nephew who he couldn't recognize, and thought for a while:
"What's my business?"
"Eh, eh! Xu Buling, Brother Xu ......"
Xu Buling jumped into the martial arts platform without squinting, and said softly:
"I have admired the name for a long time, and Mei Gongzi is from Yuelu Mountain?"
Mei Qusheng nodded: "Just came over." ”
Xu Buling calculated the distance from Yuelu Mountain to Chang'an for a while:
"Mei Gongzi is fast enough."
"Legs and feet are sharp."
Mei Qusheng held the long sword obliquely and looked up and down a few times:
"The prince of the world has been hit by the Lock Dragon Gu, you and I are competing in swordsmanship at this time, if you win the next game, you won't be able to get off the stage, if you lose, you can't get off the stage, why don't you change the competition?"
Xu Buling actually didn't want to have a vivid hand with Mei Qu, and when he saw that he knew each other, he raised his eyebrows slightly:
"What do you want to compare?"
Xiao Ting hurriedly leaned on the window and shouted loudly:
"Stupid, compared to poetry, he's a nerd and can't write poetry!"
“……”
The audience burst into laughter.
Mei Qusheng's face was slightly stiff, as early as last year, he had heard about Xu Buling's "Words of the Resentful Woman", so naturally he would not be bored, and looked outside the Longyin Pavilion:
"Martial arts is not only the hands, the two legs are also the most important, if you don't compete with the prince of the world, the Longyin Pavilion is just three miles away from the thousand-year-old locust in Xinghuafang, whoever breaks off a locust branch first and returns to the Longyin Pavilion will win, how?"
In the case of Xu Bu's qi and blood blockage, his kung fu to run away was naturally greatly reduced, but it was better than the loss of punching to the flesh, so he nodded at the moment.
When the ring heard this, he immediately turned around and ran out, ready to wait for the result of the thousand-year-old Huai, which was three miles away.
Seeing that both parties agreed, the master of ceremonies smiled and prepared to make a statement.
Mei Qusheng raised his hand: "Later, my husband will give a lecture, and the prince is also busy with official business, so let's start directly." ”
Xu Buling had to accompany Manzhi to go shopping later, so he naturally agreed.
Seeing this, the master of ceremonies didn't want to be verbose anymore, picked up the gong and hammer and struck it, then turned around and said aloud:
"Open...... Huh~ What about people? ……”
