Side Story: Li Ke Father and Son and Pei Min (I)
Broken Leaf City, belongs to the Governor's Mansion of the Tiaozhi Prefecture, set up a town here during the Zhenguan period, the whole town imitates Chang'an City and is built, it is an important commercial town in the western border of the Tang Dynasty, all the time, the water and soil here are abundant, with the flow of people migrating here, it gradually begins to become prosperous.
Because it is located in the border fortress, there are often foreign invasions, in order to protect themselves, the city of broken leaves is still martial, living here, even if it is rich in gold and silver wealth, it is not unusual, but it is with peerless martial arts that people will be truly respected.
The Oghuz family was originally Turkic, and later migrated here to live, and slowly became the people of the Tang Dynasty. The old man of Oghuz had four sons, each of whom was a brave warrior who had made great achievements in several battles against the invaders. Therefore, although the old man Oghuz does not hold an official position and his family is not wealthy, he enjoys a high reputation and is respected in Broken Leaf City.
The old man Oghuz was forty-five years old and had a daughter, so he was regarded as the pearl of the palm, because he was born on the night of the full moon, so he was named Yuewa. In addition to the old man Oghuz, the four brothers also took good care of this sister.
More than ten years later, the moon baby is already slim, because its ancestors have Turkic blood, the moon baby was born with an unusually beautiful appearance, the bridge of the nose is high, the eye sockets are deep, and the eyelashes on a pair of big eyes can even catch the snowflakes falling in the sky, so the reputation of "the flower of the broken leaf city" has spread far and wide, and everyone has sighed, if anyone marries the moon baby, I really don't know how many lifetimes it will take to cultivate the blessing.
One day, Yuewa frowned and was sitting by the stream. But suddenly there was a sound of a horse's roar, Yuewa heard the sound and hurriedly looked up, only to see a horse not far away suddenly stopped, and the person on the horse couldn't react and fell off the horse. Seeing this, Yuewa was afraid that the person would be seriously injured, so she hurriedly got up and asked, only to see that the person got up quickly, and did not seem to be injured.
Yuewa blinked her big beautiful eyes and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”
The man's face suddenly turned a little redder, and he replied in a stammering voice, "No... It's okay! ”
Yuewa looked at the horse beside her, then looked at the person in front of her, and continued to ask, "Why did you fall off your horse in a good manner?" ”
The man was a little embarrassed and said, "Just ... See... Girl, for a while... Distracted ... Old... Even he felt embarrassed as he spoke, and his eyes began to avoid him.
Yuewa's face was full of doubts and asked, "See me?" ”
The man continued, "Well... The girl's eyes... Pretty! ”
When Yuewa heard this, she also blushed suddenly, and after a long time, she replied: "If you are okay, I will leave first." With that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
The man hurriedly said, "Girl, wait. ”
Yuewa slowly turned around and asked, "What else is the matter with you?" ”
The man stepped forward and said, "Actually... I often pass by here to see the girl, today I don't know why the girl is sad, is it an unhappy thing? ”
This question made Yuewa's brows tightly locked, it turned out that the old man Oghuz had reached sixty years old this year, and he wanted to set a family affair for Yuewa, so that he could be happy, but Yuewa was unwilling, in case he couldn't marry the person he liked, wouldn't it ruin his happiness? So today

Ran out of the house noisily. At this time, he was suddenly asked about this, and for some reason, although the person in front of him, Yuewa, met for the first time, he felt very cordial, so he told all about it.
The man's face was shocked when he heard this, and he blurted out, "What? How can a marriage event be such a child's play? ”
Yuewa was shouted by him like this, she couldn't help but be surprised, looked at him, and asked, "Why are you so nervous about my marriage?" ”
was asked by Yuewa like this, but the person became more nervous, and I said: I just think... Marriage Events... By the way, have you chosen a good person? ”
Yuewa shook her head lightly and replied, "I haven't heard my father mention it, so I don't think I have yet." ”
When the man heard this, he suddenly let out a long breath and muttered, "It's okay." ”
Yuewa looked up and asked, "What?" ”
The man hurriedly replied, "I mean... OK! There is still a turning point in the matter. ”
Yuewa looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Turnaround?" What turnaround? ”
The man looked at Yuewa, and was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a long time, and suddenly had an idea, and said: "You can let your father hold a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, so that you can choose a favorite warrior for yourself!" ”
After hearing this, Yuewa repeated in a low voice: "Martial arts competition? ”
Again, the man affirmed, "Yes! In Broken Leaf City, those with outstanding martial arts must be great heroes, and they will definitely make you like them. ”
Yuewa fell into deep thought, and after a long time, she finally smiled, nodded, and replied: "Maybe this is a way, if no one can beat me, then I don't have to marry." ”
The man smiled when he heard this, and said, "You are such a big girl, there is no one who can defeat you in the Broken Leaf City?" ”
Yuewa's face flushed, and she replied, "If someone can really beat me, then it is also... My life. With that, he turned and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, the man shouted again, "You haven't told me your name yet!" ”
Yuewa stopped, looked back and smiled, and replied, "My name is Yuewa!" Thank you for your plan today! ”
The man was shocked when he heard this, and asked repeatedly: "Yuewa?" Is your father the old man of Oghuz? ”
Yuewa nodded and replied, "Exactly!" By the way, what about your name? ”
It turned out that such a beautiful woman in front of him was the legendary "Flower of Broken Leaf City", and the man finally relieved himself after a long time, and replied with an arched hand: "My name is Li Ke!" ”
Yuewa nodded and replied, "Remember!" With that, he didn't look back, but ran away.
Li Ke was looking at the background of Yuewa's departure, and suddenly laughter came from not far away, and said loudly: "In ancient times, there was Xi Shi Huansha sinking fish, and now Li Ke Wangyuewa has fallen off the horse!" ”
After hearing this, Li Ke shouted: "Who? Come out for me! ”
I saw a man in white slowly walking out from behind the tree, the same age as Li Ke, and said with a smile: "Forgive me for being abrupt, I passed by here, and I was going to go to the river to get some water to drink, but I bumped into the scene of Brother Li, and it was inconvenient to disturb, so I had to hide in the dark and watch, please forgive me." ”
Li Ke asked himself how strong his martial arts were, just now he only cared about Yuewa, and there was no one behind the tree, and now he said this, he suddenly felt embarrassed, so he shouted loudly: "Peeping in the dark, this is not a gentleman's doing, I have to teach you a lesson today!" ”
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
With that, he drew the sword behind him and attacked the man in white.
Li Ke took out his sword quickly, and with a snap of his fingers, he arrived in front of the man in white, and the man in white knew that it was too late to reason at this time, so he hurriedly drew his sword to face the battle. The two of them fought like this without saying anything, ten rounds, twenty rounds, thirty rounds... Until more than 100 rounds, the two sides were still deadlocked, and the man in white finally took a few steps back and said repeatedly: "Okay, don't fight, okay if I admit defeat?" I really just want to get some water to drink and go! ”
Although Li Ke is in his early twenties, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and since he walked the rivers and lakes, no one can pick up his ten moves when he fights with others, but the person in front of him is still on par with himself after a hundred moves, and he suddenly felt respect, so he replied: "I have no form, please forgive me, dare to ask my brother Tai's name." ”
After hearing this, the man in white hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted: "Under Pei Min!" Brother Li's name is known to me just now. ”
Li Ke suddenly smiled and said: "It turned out to be Brother Pei, there was a misunderstanding just now, Brother Pei didn't want to take water, how about Li invite Brother Pei to drink?" ”
Pei Min cherishes heroes, and also loves to eat and drink, the person in front of him is superb in martial arts, and invited to drink, and immediately overjoyed, and replied: "This proposal is very wonderful!" So saying, they departed together.
Yuewa returned home, the four brothers were arguing with the old man Oghuz about Yuewa's marriage, Yuewa immediately informed everyone of the idea of recruiting relatives in martial arts, and everyone listened to it and agreed. It's just that the old man Oghuz has some scruples, Yuewa has a gentle temperament since she was a child, but this does not affect her martial arts, although Yuewa is only sixteen years old, and she is a daughter, but all along, the family has carefully trained her, her martial arts have been refined, ordinary people can't win at all, what if no one can win?
The four brothers can't manage so much, on the contrary, they don't want Yuewa to marry an ordinary person casually, so they just do it, and hurriedly gather people, beat gongs and drums to publicize everywhere in the Broken Leaf City, and set up a martial arts competition early in the morning three days later to recruit relatives, but the rules have been changed slightly, not by the Yuewa in the ring, but by the four brothers to do it, only after defeating the four of them, Yuewa and like, can agree to this family business.
Li Ke and Pei Min hit it off at first sight, and drank and talked all night in Li Ke's cabin. Early in the morning of the second day, when he heard that the Oghuz family was recruiting relatives, he was even more overjoyed, and Li Ke immediately said to Pei Min: "Brother Pei doesn't know, Li has been fond of Yuewa for a long time, but he doesn't know how to speak, today finally has a chance, if he can marry Yuewa, Li has no regrets in this life!" ”
Pei Min immediately replied: "Brother Li's martial arts are strong, this time the ring will be no problem, Pei wishes Brother Li a victory, and a lover will eventually become a family!" ”
Li Ke was overjoyed when he heard this, and suddenly felt that he and Pei Min had a feeling of meeting late, and the two of them spent two more days in the hut, competing and drinking.
In the early morning of the third day, Li Ke woke up from a drunken dream, and drank with Pei Min late at night last night, Li Ke rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked out the window, and shouted unshockedly: "It's over!" How come this hour! ”
He hurriedly took out his sword, and at the moment he couldn't take care of the sleeping Pei Min, and rushed out as soon as he pushed the door.
Today was the most important day of his life, and if he lost, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
