Verse 161 Fight with fate
On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and every household prepared to plough cattle.
February 2 is the solar term, and it is already time to prepare for the thawing of the spring breeze, and the bidding is convenient to start on the same day.
After a few days of preparation, the rich people are not willing to give up the opportunity to bid in vain, many people find the master and the family, everywhere to hire external figures, hoping to win the leader, can take the cheap acres not to mention, the key is this fame, no matter how cold the door, but also glorious lintel hope.
What's more, the whole county hopes that there will be a character in their hometown to defeat Wei Bolai's scholars.
Yi County is alive like never before.
Li Hu lined up to train his masonry, who doesn't know?
Those who have family backgrounds divide their dozens of family members and servants into two teams, let them wear new clothes, distinguish between the above and the martial arts, and run into the field......
Even more unexpectedly, immigrants from Eastern Xia also came to participate.
Famous for martial arts, but they all came to compete for Wen Kui, no one looked at Wu Kui, first, they all knew that Li Hu was born with divine power, and he came back from Dongxia, which was equal to a member of the Dongxia people, and he didn't want to compete with him. They were not short of money, and the arrows were encouraging them in many ways, and as soon as the deposit was paid, seven or eight people came. The nomads from the horse country also came, and their nomads still had chiefs, and these chiefs also wanted to buy some land, so they could come and fight for literature? Isn't that a joke? All of them came to fight for the martial arts, and four or five came. Wei Bo's side, as well as the local county, are all civil and military.
The venue is placed on the horse farm in Chenzhai. After all, it was the land that was taken by the ranch, and thousands of acres were sold, but this horse farm was retained, and there were horses of mixed quality, and a group of people drove in, not crowded at all, the county lord and several famous people hired in the county smiled, but they found that in addition to Wei Bo, there were also some young men from Baojun, all of whom looked at each other and smiled, and they all understood that this kind of thing of producing Wenkui and Wukui was not to sell the land, and there would be people who would come, and with fame, they would have a future in the future.
Li Hu road is far away, the masonry want to come, sent more than a dozen representatives, carry dozens of stones, plus relatives at home, men, women and children on the Dongxia arrow, Li Mandarin Duck, Fang Hai and Li Duocai, although set a lot of carriages, it still seems late, the masonry got new clothes for the New Year, originally reluctant to wear, today the owner of the competition, that is naturally all to wear, their clothes are probably made by the same tailor, the style is almost the same, get off the carriage, divided into two teams and run in, scared people a lot. People say that this is Li Hu, this is Li Hu, and all the men, women and children in this county are boiling. Li Hu's reputation has become famous in the township, and others expect to get the ranking, but they want to bypass him.
Next, several carriages galloped in, and Chen Feng was still shouting: "How did he let the carriage in, who let him?" Let him drive away? ”
Li Yisheng pressed him with a fan and stopped him.
Li Yisheng had never seen Li Hu yet, so he took this opportunity to search among the visitors, and saw Li Hu riding a horse, hanging simple protective gear, carrying a bow and arrows, and holding a spear...... Because of his stopping, Chen Feng could only watch a few carriages, and Yang Linggang and a few other knights galloped away. The carriage came to a halt in the middle, and the masonry running behind came up and began to remove the stone locks.
Li Yuanyang went up to contact the county commander, wanting to tell him that the three martial arts tests of force, archery, and royalty, among them, don't look for the ugly stone bell, just use your own stone lock to get it. While speaking, Li Hu got off the horse, handed over the weapon to Yang Li to take, and handed the horse to Fang Hai to lead. He laughed, raised his hands, walked a few steps vigorously, and suddenly announced: "I, Li Hu, am a stone opener, and I also like to make friends with some heroes and heroes. ”
He went up and picked up a stone lock of 280 catties, because it was both arms, lifting weights like light, walked to the sidelines, let people see, the big bluestone, engraved with a dragon pattern, on one side is the word Wu'an country, on the other side is the word of martial arts, and the words of martial arts and strengthening, which took all people's attention.
Li Yuanyang was still discussing with Wuxian Ling, and a celebrity from several counties saw a descendant come up, holding a stone lock, going in and out of the audience, running and running, and he didn't know how hard it was, so he couldn't help but comment on the spot: "Is it a fool who came?" ”
Li Yuanyang glanced at these celebrities.
He was.
Is this stupid?
This makes people look at the stone locks. If you don't take the biggest one, can you attract people?
The audience screamed, and some shouted: "Li Hu." How heavy is this stone lock? ”
Wei Bo and the people from Baojun were also noisy, and asked him loudly: "Stupid big man." How much does your stone lock weigh? You're running around with him in your arms, and you'll run out of energy later? ”
Li Hu answered the question: "I practice every day at home, and I will show it to you, I can stand it." ”
A few Wei Bolai gentlemen had the intention of taking Wu Kui, thinking that people in small places were not knowledgeable, and martial arts themselves also had strengths, so they asked him to put it down and take a look.
As soon as Li Hu put it down, they swarmed up and hugged it, but they found that the stone lock was arrested, and they hugged it with both hands, and it was good to be able to hold it.
They all looked at Li Hu with shocked faces, and even discussed with Li Hu and asked Li Hu to help him get the ranking.
Some of the nomads who were about to compete couldn't help but come over, took a handful, and walked back with an ugly face. Li Hu shook the people into a mess, went back to Yang Yanyan poured him a bowl of water, drank it all, and said loudly: "Wu Bi has won the ranking, I, the one who opened the stone field, will send you a set, a full set of sixty pairs, from small to large, the cultivation can be gradual." That's how I got my strength. ”
He jumped on the field, a pair of 200 catties, carried on his body, wandered all over his body, how high he was thrown, and then, the audience gave him applause, some good martial arts students really couldn't help it, came up and tossed on sixty pairs of stone locks, look at this stone lock, think about the wooden handles in their own house, all of them looked envious, sixty pairs, Li Hu wants to give away, how much does sixty pairs cost? They asked, and Li Hu told him that it was ten taels of silver, and no one said that it was expensive, and they all couldn't put it down.
A young man from Wei Bolai, who looked like five big and three rough, was not careful, but when he saw that he was going to send it, he hurriedly ran out, came to him, and followed Li Hu and asked, "How many will you send?" It's not just the first send, look at your posture, maybe the first may be yours. Also, it's okay to buy it, but how do I get it home? ”
Li Hu knew that he wanted it, and said loudly: "The first three will be sent." If you don't like it, I'll send it to you. ”
The boy said, "Hundreds of miles." ”
Li Hu said with certainty: "It will be sent for hundreds of miles." ”
The boy thought for a moment and said, "Okay." Deal. ”
The young man walked over, Li Hu waved his hand again, and several masonry came up with a tray and showed it to people, it was a complete set of inkstone paperweight, with a peculiar stone, and the pattern was simple and beautiful. ”
These things were presented to the evaluation table, and several celebrities didn't say that Li Hu was stupid, they played one or two, and they couldn't put it down.
Wuxian Ling said with a smile: "A few virtuous brothers, these are all produced in this county. Their owner is the Li Hu inside. The first person in the county. A few of you will see it, and I will ask them to give each of you a set. ”
Li Yuanyang smiled: "Master." It's not the right time, our owner is here to take the first place in civil and military affairs, and if it is given away now, isn't it a bribe? ”
Wuxian Ling slapped his forehead and said in amazement: "Yes." Confused. ”
Then, with a smile on his face, he asked Li Yuanyang and said, "What are you talking about?" Civil and military first? He wants to participate in martial arts, and he also wants to participate in literature? ”
Li Yuanyang nodded.
A cadre of celebrities and celebrities said: "Wei Bo's martial arts may not work, Wen's, there are Xizhu Xiong's clan, and there are Gao Ma Xie's clan...... It's all the land of articles, and we have a few topics to prepare. ”
Li Yuanyang hurriedly asked, "Which ones?" ”
One of the old men said: "Poetry, calligraphy, painting skills, and opera were originally intended to be added to the tea ceremony and games, but it was too time-consuming, so I took it." ”
Li Yuanyang thought for a while, laughed and said: "Good poetry is not necessarily good calligraphy, good calligraphy may not be able to draw, and what can be painted is not good to talk about music." But our host, we can get everything, and you gentlemen will not be tailor-made for our host. ”
One sentence stunned the person who assessed the seat.
In front of everyone's eyes, they don't know what Li Yuanyang is doing with the evaluation seat, but in their hearts, they suspect that he will dredge the joints, Wei Bo and Baojun are not afraid, once they catch the flaws, these celebrities will be ruined, but the county's are sour, but they also know that the ranking is not easy for them to get. After a while, the county commander sent the master to announce that Li Hu's stone lock would be used to test the strength of the martial arts, because sixty pairs could be divided into many levels, and it was easy to distinguish between winners and losers. Unexpectedly, it was just announced that someone from the nomad's side had arrived, and they demanded: "Since you want to lift him to a stone lock, you might as well add real swords and guns...... We don't have that over there. ”
Li Yisheng became serious.
He whispered a few words to Chen Feng, Chen Feng approached, stared at the nomad and said, "Our family is just buying some land, and we don't want to see the dead and injured......
The nomad who came said, "If you want to compare, you must give a fair one, he runs a quarry, and we raise livestock, so why don't we fight really better than immediately." ”
Wuxian Ling said angrily: "There is a royal family, you can't be deaf?" ”
The prefectural orders were furious.
But it was useless, these nomads felt that it was difficult to win, so they began to play tricks, and if they were determined, they would fight more than immediately...... The Wuxian Commander was about to order the soldiers to blast them out, when the horses' hooves were dense, but it was a group of official cavalry galloping in. This is not long ago, what to say about guarding against Dongxia, the army stationed down, led by a miscellaneous general on temporary duty, surnamed Miao, named Baotian...... The general of his family is surnamed Tian, and when he hears this name, he is from a poor family, and he is a confidant. Among the cavalrymen who came, he was the leader, he was wrapped in a heavy helmet, carrying a long sword at his waist, and the fruit behind him was even more vigorous, and two of them were wearing colorful robes outside the armor, and they seemed to be here to participate in the bidding.
Wuxian Ling's eyelids twitched, but he deliberately said, "General Miao took the opportunity to come to the military election?" ”
Miao Baotian said hesitantly: "What martial arts?" I heard that Lao Chen's family was selling land, and I wanted to open a vegetable garden and grow vegetables for my brothers. ”
Chen Feng was about to go up to meet one or two, Li Yisheng grabbed him back, came out with a folding fan, and asked coldly: "General Miao came to disrupt the situation, but he is dissatisfied with our Zhu family?" ”
Miao Baotian was stunned for a moment.
He laughed, "It's serious." It's just to bid, saying that there is a martial arts show, and it's a lottery. Your gentleman is so unreasonable, I have soldiers in my hands, if I am not respectful to the Zhu family, how can I honestly bid for it? I also hope that Mr. will give two points of thin noodles and be reasonable. ”
He turned his head and saw a nomad standing, and shouted fiercely, "Get out? The nomad hurriedly said, "Grandpa Miao, you don't know, come to Li Hu, who opened a stone quarry, let him use his stone to compare strength." He motioned Miao Baotian to take a look, and said angrily: "He plays with these stones at home every day, isn't that because of our weakness, stronger than his?" This is not fair, if you want to compete with martial arts, you don't care about swords and guns, and you can see the real chapter in horse warfare. ”
Li Yisheng was taken aback.
He didn't want Li Hu to be in danger.
Li Yuanyang was even more angry, and shouted: "Fight with your life, and wait for the villagers to be like you?" You have armor, but what about us? ”
Miao Baotian's eyes turned.
He laughed and said, "Armor can be lent and put on, compare, compare like this, don't compare if you can't compare." If there is no stimulation, then what is it? Also, I vouched for my life with my parents in the county, and I explained it first, regardless of the dead or injured. Wu Kui. Wu Kui, if you don't have the guts, how can you Kui? ”
Everyone was disgraced.
The troubled nomad looked at them, and the chosen warriors, fully armoured, looked back at their own people, and when they contrasted, they no longer made a sound, and quietly slipped back.
He proposed it, but he hurriedly ran back to discuss.
