Chapter 123: The Twists and Turns of Harmony (2)
Where Li Ye's attention was grabbed, two groups of people were facing each other, to be precise, one side was one or two people, and the other side was a group of people.
On the side of the few people are a man and a woman, the man is burly-looking, even in winter, his arms are still exposed, and his strong muscles are undoubtedly exposed; The woman is slightly thin, panicked, and has a slap mark on her face, obviously beaten, the pearl with tears, giving people a pitiful look, but the coiled hair proves that she has become a wife.
On the opposite side of the two, there is a group of people dressed in strange clothes, although it is a bit like Hanfu, but it is not like, it can also be said to be a revision of Hanfu, which continues the characteristics of many Hanfu. However, although there were many people in this group, they did not take advantage of it, and a few of them fell on the ground, groaning there.
The leader of this group of people dressed in strange clothes, Li Ye knew, was Duan Baolong, who was with Yang Qiqiu, the general of the Nanzhao Huichuan Governor's Mansion, but at this time, the other party's face was a little ugly, and he obviously suffered a loss.
Since Li Ye didn't know how the conflict happened, he didn't intervene at the first time, but watched the further development of the conflict in the crowd on the stone steps a few feet away.
"You were the one who wounded me?" Looking at the burly man in front of him who was a few years older than himself, Duan Baolong's face was gloomy.
He originally just took a group of subordinates out to relax, but he didn't expect that one of his subordinates had a conflict with the other party, and what he didn't expect was that several of his subordinates, who seemed to him to be good hands, were actually knocked to the ground by the man in front of him.
"So you're the owner of this group of waste?" Looking at the little boy in strange clothes in front of him, the burly man didn't pay attention to it, looked at the few people who fell to the ground, and said disdainfully.
"You...
Being insulted like this by an ordinary person, Duan Baolong was a little angry, but seeing that the other party could defeat his subordinates, Duan Baolong, who was holding back his panic, had an impulse, and suddenly took advantage of the other party's inattention, and swung out a punch to hit the other party's chin.
Duan Baolong actually looked at the situation at the scene and guessed that it might be his own people who collided with the woman, which caused the conflict. However, as their master, if he doesn't say anything at all, it will definitely not be suitable, it just so happens that he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is also confident in his martial arts, and the other party may suffer in terms of age, but he doesn't think that an ordinary Tang person is his opponent, so he wants to practice and vent his recent dissatisfaction.
However, Duan Baolong is still too confident, although he inherited the position of general, and the four guards left to him by his father also taught him martial arts, but he has never been on the battlefield, and he usually trains with his subordinates, and his subordinates have intentions, and they do not do their best. So what seems to be a lot of combat experience is actually not practical.
I saw that the man on the other side raised his right hand, blocked his fist, and then held the opponent's wrist and pushed it back hard.
When his wrist was held, Duan Baolong felt that something was wrong, as if he had hit a wall, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of it. Then a strong force came, and although he tried his best to push it back, his face was flushed, but he still couldn't.
'Kick! Step on! Step on! Duan Baolong, who lacked strength, suddenly took three or four steps back, and his whole face was red, I don't know if it was embarrassment or excessive exertion.
"Good!"
Although these people in front of them were wearing foreign clothes, the sharp-eyed people still recognized that they were from Nanzhao's side. Chengdu Mansion is not without Nanzhao people, and there are also merchants who usually come and go, but these people in front of them are obviously not ordinary merchants. For the Nanzhao people, Chengdu Mansion or the whole Xichuan do not like it, and even have a lot of hatred, more than ten years ago in the battle of Chengdu, the Nanzhao soldiers besieged Chengdu City, I don't know how many people died, including their relatives, so when I saw the Nanzhao people eating deflated, they naturally applauded.
For the conflict here, the soldiers on patrol also saw it, but they didn't come over, and the Nanzhao people were deflated, and they were happy to see it, just don't die. If the situation expands, they will naturally come and stop it.
"Bring me my knife!"
Duan Baolong roared, took the knife handed over by his subordinates, and wanted to find the field on the opposite man, but a middle-aged man next to him hurriedly stopped.
"Major General, this is the place of the Tang people, it is better not to use the knife, then things will be big. And the major general, you are not his opponent, his martial arts are very high. ”
The middle-aged man next to him was one of the four guards left by Duan Baolong's father to Duan Baolong. When Duan Baolong's father, Duan Chief, was alive, he had six guards by his side, and before he died, he entrusted his son to the four guards who were still alive, and this middle-aged man was one of them. As a battle-hardened opponent, he naturally saw that the Tang man in front of him was not small, and he had martial arts in his hands, which was not something that his own young general could match.
"What? Will General Ben be his opponent? Being looked down upon by his subordinates, Duan Baolong suddenly became angry.
"Little brat, what your subordinates said is right, if it is a real life-and-death battle, I can kill you in three rounds. However, your martial arts should be good, and you should be able to hold out for sixty or seventy rounds. The burly man said confidently, looking at the guard opposite, his eyes were shining, and encountering a suspicious opponent was undoubtedly the most important thing for him.
"Young man, are you too arrogant?" Hearing that the Tang man in front of him didn't take himself seriously, this guard's face was not very good-looking, when he was on the battlefield before, he didn't know how many Tang soldiers he had killed, but now he was actually underestimated.
"Uncle Zhao, teach General Ben a lesson, and General Ben is responsible for settling things if something happens." Duan Baolong was angry in his heart, especially when he saw the arrogance of the Tang man in front of him, he was even more unhappy.
The guard nodded, he didn't want to kill the Tang man in front of him, he just taught the other party a lesson, let the other party know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the Tang people will not make a big fuss if they want to come. As he spoke, the guard drew his sword, its blade smooth and shining in the sun.
The guard stared at the man in front of him, "Take out your weapon, I want to see if you have the skills to do it." ”
"Lang Jun, don't forget it."
Seeing the other party draw a knife, the woman next to the burly man couldn't help but persuade that when she saw the other party take out a knife, she didn't want her husband to be hurt.
"How can this be counted? Today, I want to teach these barbarians a good lesson. With that, the burly man pushed his wife away, and then took out a wooden stick from his body.
The Tang Dynasty did not prohibit people from carrying knives or anything, but they could not bring them into the city. Although swords are more popular among the people than swords, after all, swords are a status symbol, but except for a very small number of people, ordinary people are not allowed to carry swords into the city. Even Duan Baolong and his entourage, when they left the guest house, they also checked their weapons, although they were allowed to bring knives, but the number was limited, only Duan Baolong and a few other guards, and the others were empty-handed.
Looking at the posture of the Tang man holding the stick in front of him, Duan Baolong's guard looked a little solemn, and saw that he had really met an opponent.
