Chapter 20: The Art of Wrestling

"Yes, Your Majesty! The kid must live up to the emperor's grace! Li Chengji prostrate on the ground with a sincere attitude.

Seeing this gesture, the emperor was even more overjoyed.

After that, the dignitaries and nobles who knelt on the field all dispersed. Even the maiko, who was about to play, had to make room for Lee Seungji and them.

When only the two of them are left, their showdown will officially begin.

Because in the Daliao folk, the art of wrestling has been prevalent for a long time. Especially the steppe tribes, the folk customs are fierce. If there is any grievance between men, they will always decide the winner. No matter who wins or loses, the grievances are written off.

Therefore, from the peddlers and pawns to the officials and dignitaries, they often take wrestling for fun. The great general Tayang Valley is a famous wrestler in Daliao. It is rumored that in the year of his weak crown, he was invincible all over the world.

Even though it is now the age of no confusion, this good name has become a beautiful talk on the streets.

This Zhang Xinglu, although he did not study under Tayanggu. But the master who taught him wrestling was from the same school as Tayang Gu. Therefore, in terms of strength, we must not underestimate it.

This information was secretly told to him by Li Chengye when the emperor summoned him. The main thing is to make him be absolutely cautious.

However, in the current situation, no matter how cautious you are, it is useless.

After all, it's all hit, no matter how careful you are, you have to hit it hard.

He frowned, secretly thinking about countermeasures.

To be honest, wrestling alone is still more beneficial than disadvantageous to Lee Seungji. Because if Zhang Xinglu uses weapons, Li Chengji will not have a corresponding strategy to defeat the enemy. In the end, he had never even touched cold weapons such as knives, guns, clubs, etc. It's marksmanship, it's okay. But in this era, there were not even firearms, let alone guns with a relatively high level of technology.

Now the other party chooses hand-to-hand combat, which just narrows the gap between the two sides a lot.

In addition, grappling is different from wrestling. But in terms of attack routines, they are still relatively similar. It's just that wrestling focuses on the legs, while grappling focuses on the close coordination of all parts of the body.

Just as he was secretly pondering, Zhang Xinglu said with a smile on his face: "Please also ask Yizhi to teach!" ”。

"Ugh! Wait! Let me drink my saliva first! Li Chengji said, and hurriedly ran back to his seat.

In an instant, there was a burst of laughter on the field. But it was Mahmut Bai's side, and they all looked sneering. The Xuanhui envoy of the North Courtyard said with a half-sarcastic smile: "Being so cowardly, it really has the prestige of the king of Hezhong!" ”。

"Tuxuanhui makes this statement bad! It is a common thing for people to eat and drink. How could it be a cowardly move in the eyes of the Tuxuan Hui envoy? Shi Mo Terri, immediately sneered.

"The emperor is here, don't lose your honor!" , Yelu Tiyin said in a non-serious tone. Just blocked the words of the Xuanhui envoy of the North Courtyard.

And Li Chengji secretly took a clove of raw garlic in his hand by drinking water. At the same time, I took this opportunity to secretly watch everyone's reactions.

found that compared with Mahmutebai's side, the officials on his father's side were all depressed. Especially his mother, Li Xiao, is even more worried. Even the saints today have sympathy for him.

Obviously, no one on the field was optimistic about him.

Even his brother Li Chengye admonished him in a low voice. If you really can't beat it, just admit defeat.

Nodding, Li Chengji didn't explain much, and returned to the field with a calm expression.

Zhang Xinglu, who was on the opposite side, immediately smiled. The already narrow eyes are also combined into a slit. It seems that he has won the battle.

It is also the figure of two people, one strong and one weak, which is too distinct. At a glance, it is difficult to have confidence in Lee Seungji.

No, someone on the field was already muttering, "Hey! "Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat." No matter how good this writing is, the force is slightly inferior to others! ”。

Li Chengji ignored this, and only silently thought about how to win this showdown.

As the gong sounded, the two sides clasped their fists and saluted.

Seeing Zhang Xinglu, he immediately leaned down slightly and made an offensive posture. Seeing Li Chengji standing still, he thought that Li Chengji was frightened. He lowered his voice and said proudly: "Li Chengji, let you always bully me in the past." Today, Master, I will let you pay back everything you owe me. ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his arms suddenly. Li Chengji also felt that his hands were clamped by iron pliers. followed by a pain in his leg, but it was Zhang Xinglu, who had tripped over his calf at a very fast speed.

didn't resist, and Li Chengji fell with the trend.

It's just that what everyone didn't pay attention to was that a clove of garlic was stuffed into Li Chengji's mouth very quickly.

And Zhang Xinglu, as an opponent, was complacent because he tripped over Li Chengji with his own move. I didn't even notice this subtle movement. With the mentality of 'it is advisable to chase the poor with the remainder', Li Chengji was beaten to death.

So Li Chengji rolled on the ground continuously, dodging Zhang Xinglu's kick. It wasn't until I felt that it was almost time for me to finally stop. Zhang Xinglu's legs also flew in quickly. Stubbornly blocked the first wave of kicks with his arms, and Lee Seungji launched a counterattack.

first hugged Zhang Xinglu's left leg and then slammed his ankle.

As if sensing Li Chengji's intentions, Zhang Xinglu kicked Li Chengji's back with his other unclamped right leg.

Seeing this scene, Mahmutebai was all proud.

Feeling the pain in his back, Li Chengji secretly scolded this body for being useless.

After all, if it weren't for his lack of strength, how could Zhang Xinglu resist so fiercely. gritted his teeth and attacked Zhang Xinglu's ankle even more madly.

Finally, Zhang Xinglu was in pain. He threw himself back and fell to the ground. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Chengji rushed straight up. When Zhang Xinglu turned his face, he spit on Xingzi.

Then open your mouth wide and inhale widely. At the same time, he used his hands and feet at the same time to scuffle with Zhang Xinglu.

The people on the field were stunned.

Because they don't know how to wrestle well, it becomes a scuffle of scoundrels. Some of the ministers who reacted smiled and said, "Hahahaha... Huangkou Xiaoer's wrestling is really different. ”。

Li Chengji can't care about other people's opinions! Now he has a handful of snot and tears, and he just wants to dry Zhang Xinglu down. It was also he who chewed the garlic in his mouth for a long time, which made the taste last a long time.

On Zhang Xinglu's side, his eyes were choked by the smell. So I can only subconsciously fight back against Li Chengji's beating.

On the field, it was Li Chengji who cried and rode beside Zhang Xinglu to fight.

Such a strange picture made the people on the field a little incomprehensible.

It wasn't until the end that Li Chengji felt that the people under him were not moving, so he stopped sweating. The waiters on the side, also at the queen's signal, hurried to the scene to separate them.
