Chapter 246: A Day in the Martial Arts Arena

With the rules, things are much easier to do, and for a few days Xu Feng honestly helped Shi Bin run errands in the palace, and he entered and exited from the main gate in a dignified manner, and no longer sneakily entered and exited the back door. And Shi Bin is no longer so workaholic, he goes out early and returns late, and is much more normal.

Time passes very quickly with those who don't have a memory, but slowly with those who have a memory. Although Shi Bin is still working hard and never slacking off, he still remembers the market day that will come soon, so time passes slowly in his heart.

Although it is not painful, there is also some helplessness, especially when there is nothing to do after the office, it is even slower, in order to alleviate the unhappiness caused by this slowness, he also ran his legs as a purchaser, and often bought some handkerchiefs and rouge for Jia Ling and Sai Xishi. not only passed the time but also made the two wives happy, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were naturally coaxed very happily by his considerate actions, and they were also happy that they had made the most correct decision.

Finally stayed up to the day of the market, Shi Bin has been energetic and energetic since the morning, and he doesn't care about anything else at all, eating breakfast can be described as 'gobbling up', just begging to go to the martial arts arena immediately after eating, even if he knows that going to the martial arts arena so early has not yet started business.

No one can control the current Shi Bin, and no one dares to care, so naturally he will mess around, not to mention that he will not hinder others. So he had arrived an hour before the tournament opened.

The first thing he did when he entered the competition field was to take Xu Feng to the props room to choose a helmet, and after choosing, he asked him to find an inconspicuous place to put it away.

Then I went to the betting counter to check the account book of the past few days, which can be regarded as the boss's inspection of work performance, maybe after the inspection is completed, I will bet on myself.

After doing these idle things, the martial arts arena began to open, and some people who were dressed or noble in the arena had come in one after another, and their behavior was very regular, obviously from a high-ranking family. Shi Bin didn't care about this, what he cared about was that if he could attract so many rich people to watch the show, the income would definitely not be small, so he immediately smiled.

In the morning, it was a sergeant drill, including six items: queue, knife technique, marksmanship, wooden handle shaking thunder, sparring and riding.

Since Shi Bin had sneaked over in the afternoon before, he had never seen the sergeant's drill in the martial arts arena, so he didn't know how this drill was different from the drill in the martial arts arena, so as soon as the team entered the arena, he watched it seriously.

The queue is still the same queue, but it seems that the spirit of those soldiers is more sufficient, and the shouting is louder, as if there is no end to the strength, as if the shouting does not consume physical strength at all.

Of course it was impossible, but he remembered vividly the painful way a sturdy farmer in the town had spoken to his mother, who was very hard of hearing. Originally, he would not be tired from working in the fields for a morning, but after only a quarter of an hour of communication with his old mother, he was tired and out of breath.

Of course, I know that there is some joke in it, but at least it shows that it must be tiring to talk loudly and continuously. Therefore, it is natural to be excited to see his soldiers in such a state, such an army is definitely a lion in a hundred battles, and he is not afraid of any enemy.

The second item is knife technique.

The soldiers spread out according to the formation, each with a standard single knife, but there were only three actions to turn around: oblique splitting, vertical chopping, and sweeping. Although monotonous, it is full of vigor and murder.

However, the layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, and a few rich sons who have practiced boxing and embroidering legs for several years in the field are very dissatisfied with such training, and immediately said that they want to compete.

The sect leader originally disagreed, but he didn't dare to offend the nobleman, and when he was in trouble, Shi Bin came out and signaled to send one of the weakest soldiers to Bibi.

The most fearful thing is that he is afraid of hurting people, so the head of the sect is still opposed, even if it is Jingnan who gives the order to pacify the envoy. Shi Bin consulted with the head of the sect and the distinguished guest, and the two compromised, saying that they each set up a wooden stake as a target to see who would knock it down first.

The interesting thing is that the distinguished guest used a standard single knife, but Shi Bin's soldier took a wooden knife of decent material.

Seeing this, the distinguished guest was furious again, indicating that he had been insulted. But Shi Bin did not come out to ease the conflict, but signaled the soldier to complete the chopping as soon as possible.

The soldiers who received the order to pacify the envoy naturally did not hesitate. After a 'click', the bowl of thick wooden stakes fell in response, but the wooden knife was intact. Facts speak louder than words, so the distinguished guest had no choice but to return to his seat in the hall honestly.

Such an episode not only did not affect the business of the martial arts arena, but increased its popularity, but made one more item in the sword training - chopping stakes.

The third marksmanship is nothing unusual to Shi Bin, but it is a rare thing for those viewers who are afraid of firecrackers. It even scared some timid young masters and young ladies into screaming, and even shrank under their seats to hide. However, curiosity outweighed fear, and as they got used to it, they became staunch supporters of musket training, and some of them even came to see it on a daily basis. Since they couldn't reward the soldiers during the drill, those rich men simply changed the way - anonymously donated military salaries. There is only one requirement - each person must practice shooting no less than one base (twenty rounds) per day.

The fourth wood-handled earth-shaking thunder is not so attractive, in their eyes it is just a magnified firecracker, which can only be regarded as interesting.

After all this, the fifth most attractive item comes - sparring.

It has always been the southern fist and the northern leg, so Shi Bin's army focuses on boxing training, and Hong boxing is used when fighting. Shi Bin, who was sitting in the seat, couldn't help but think of a joke he made when he saw this: which punch is good to use during training.

Zhao Gang, the first one who pays the most attention to lethality, jumped out and said that soldiers should practice iron line boxing, and if it is about hurting people, it is definitely the first.

Jia Ling and Sai Xishi said that it is best to practice Hongquan, because Hongquan is the most widely spread, the easiest to be accepted by the public, and it is easier to promote it to ordinary people.

Wang San, a conservative, said that practicing defensive Wing Chun was enough.

Then, Shi Bin's joke came out: he was going to practice the Seven Wounds Boxing. He also emphasized that practitioners should be very strong, because once they practice, they will be injured by seven injuries. Hurting oneself and hurting others is really hurting oneself first and then hurting others.

Halfway through the words, he found that everyone's expressions were wrong, which made him suddenly remember that this Seven Injuries Fist was the martial arts of the Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun in Jin Yong's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", where would there be any Seven Injuries Fist in reality?

In order to protect his face, he had to create his own set of punches. Where can this be adopted? Naturally, they could only be defeated. The end result is the practice of the most widely circulated Hongquan.

Of course, this kind of fight is exciting, but because both sides have protective gear, it is not exciting, and it is not much to watch. However, Shi Bin doesn't want any income when he trains, so he is easy to be corrupted by money, so he has to let the soldiers practice a good martial arts to kill the enemy, and if he wants to make money, he will go to the competition to fight in the ring.

Seeing the sixth riding skill, Shi Bin felt bored and turned around and left the arena. However, he was still very satisfied with the training of the coach, and privately rewarded him with two taels of silver.

It's hard to take a day off, Shi Bin naturally won't end it like this, the afternoon is the most exciting show: the duel in the ring. It is characterized by the ability to defeat opponents in any way except for concealed weapons and attacks on the lower body, including unbladed weapons of your choice, but also with armor and helmets.

In this way, the viewing is greatly increased, the tickets are selling hot, scalpers have appeared, and the counter windows for betting are also overcrowded.

I was happy to look at the numbers in the ledger in my hand before, but now I am even more ecstatic to see scalpers and overcrowded windows. After all, it's better to see than to hear, and there is such a high popularity, which is of course better than the martial arts field, which makes Shi Bin, who has a lot of vanity, feel more fulfilled.

Sit down and calmly watch the fight. This process made Shi Bin gradually understand why there were so many kinds of weapons and protective gear in the army, and they couldn't be wrapped in one package.

For example, although chain mail is flexible, it is almost ineffective in preventing heavy hits, and the effect is okay in anti-puncture. Mingguang armor is very effective in resisting heavy attacks and punctures, and slashing is almost ineffective against it, and it is very comprehensive, but the disadvantage is that it is expensive and cannot be equipped in large quantities. The Song Dynasty infantry armor weighed up to 30 kilograms, which greatly reduced the mobility of the Song army's infantry.

As for weapons, this is even more so, they have always been an inch long and an inch strong, an inch short and an inch dangerous, long weapons are not suitable for close combat, and short weapons are not suitable for impact. Although light weapons are flexible but have little lethality, heavy weapons can defeat the enemy with one move, but they have high requirements for users, so they cannot be widely promoted.

Therefore, Shi Bin ordered that in addition to sitting in the ring duel, there is another important task: to recruit martial arts masters as instructors or staff officers.

Although the duelist wears protective gear, various martial arts schools and different weapon usages are displayed in this ring. Let Shi Bin, a person who likes to conquer, become happier the more he watches it. If it weren't for the fact that he had too much official business to do and someone to supervise him, he would have liked to come to watch the game every day.

It's a pity that no, Shi Bin regrets it.

The soundproofing effect of the VIP room was not very good, and a delicate female voice came out, she seemed to be complaining that she was not a boy and could not fight against the Yuanren.

Shi Bin, who heard this voice, was very happy, glad that he was a man and could fight in the field. Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of the original purpose of building this martial arts arena, and came early in the morning to ask Xu Fengzang for the purpose of the helmet. Immediately ordered Xu Feng to sign up for the fight for himself.

The helplessness in Xu Feng's eyes was completely seen by Shi Bin, but he didn't change his mind at all, but just gave him a quick look.

Soon the matter was done, Shi Bin praised Xu Feng with satisfaction, and told him not to leak it out, and finally threatened him with a few words. Although he knew that this was a lie, Xu Feng didn't intend to say it, it was most appropriate to pretend to be stupid.

Confidently entered the field, after all, he is also a famous general who has killed countless people in the battlefield, even if he has become a civilian official now, but the foundation of martial arts is still there, so he is not afraid of fighting.

The opponent who appeared was a slightly thin man, as if the wind was blowing and falling. Although some despise their opponents, they don't dare to despise them, after all, real people don't show their faces, and they don't show their faces. Many masters are very hidden, where will they not have much ability if they dare to fight?

After the salute, the fight began.

Shi Bin didn't know how to punch or kick, that is, he learned some basic boxing techniques during the battle, and the vigilance and flexibility cultivated by the perennial Orion life allowed him to save his life without suffering losses when fighting against the Yuan people.

But now it's not good, the thin opponent knew that he was practicing martial arts all year round as soon as he made a move, and he punched like a rock, and Shi Bin fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

The man was obviously merciful, and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, waiting for Shi Bin to slowly get up before attacking. In less than two moves, Shi Bin was countered by the man, and his wrist couldn't move anymore.

With this lesson, Shi Bin knew that there was no hope of winning, so the opponent simply admitted defeat. After getting out of the ring, Shi Bin did not feel depressed, but was very happy. Because he saw hope, he saw the hope of defeating the Yuanren.

After retiring from the ring, I watched the fight until it was dark, and finally went home with a smile with a smile on the one hundred taels of silver that I had won
