The matter of Anling and Yanling's appointment between Anling and Yanling spread ten or ten to hundreds, and spread all over the two counties at an astonishing speed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tens of thousands of able-bodied young men on both sides of the two sides enthusiastically signed up, which was even more exaggerated than the imperial court's recruitment of troops.

It's no wonder that as the saying goes, how many people have been ruined on a face since ancient times?

What's more, whether it is Anling or Yanling, the aristocratic forces in both counties are secretly guiding this matter, which makes the fighting spirit of the civilians more and more high.

The date of the Twin Counties Tournament was set for the first day of May, but on April 29 and April 30, many people from the two counties had already gone to the competition venue to set up their fields and build simple shacks.

After all, Zhao Hongrun said very clearly that this competition took a long time, and almost all the county residents in the two counties could participate in it, so that if one side lost, it was no wonder that the other party lost.

The location of the two counties is located on the barren open land on the border between Anling County and Yanling County.

The speed of the Zhao family was very fast, and within a few days, a huge stone tablet with a height of two zhang had been erected in the place, with the 'Boundary Stone' engraved on it.

The reason why the words of Yanling and Anling were not engraved was because Zhao Hongrun took into account the problems before and after the ranking, anyway, even if this thing was not engraved, the people of the two counties also knew what it was for.

This is used to slap the other person's face...... No, no, this is used to determine the county boundaries of the two counties.

On the first day of the fifth month, Zhao Hongrun changed into a brand-new brocade robe, and under the escort of Zong Wei Weijiao, Lu Mu, Mu Qing, Chu Heng, and Zhou Pu, together with the third uncle Zhao Laiyu, took a carriage to the competition venue.

When I got there, I saw a sea of people, as if the strong men from the two counties had come here.

And the cheering and ridicule like the tide of the sea are even more shocking.

No, Zhao Laiyu, who is over sixty years old, this old man who has not seen many big scenes in his life, is also tense at the moment, and his right hand is holding a cane.

Looking at his nervous appearance, Zhao Hongrun maliciously guessed whether the old man had some hidden heart disease.

"Hey, let's let, let's go!"

While protecting Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Laiyu, the guards shouted for the civilians on the road to retreat, fortunately, there were Shangshui soldiers and soldiers here to maintain order, otherwise, Lu Mu was very doubtful that they would be able to squeeze into this crowd like rivers and seas.

Standing in the sea of people, Zhao Laiyu looked left and right, and asked suspiciously: "Hongrun, what about the boys in the old man's family?" ”

"I'm presiding over the ring."

Zhao Hongrun said with a smile.

He was sharper than Zhao Laiyu, and it didn't take long for him to see Zhao Chengyu's figure and point in the direction for Zhao Laiyu.

So, Zhao Laiyu leaned on crutches and squeezed into the more crowded crowd with Zhao Hongrun.

At this time, in the place where they were going, there was a ring, about two zhang square and one zhang high, all made of solid wood, and covered with a layer of sheepskin with a knuckle on it.

And in the ring, the thirteenth prince Zhao Chengsui was standing in the corner of the ring, raising his arms high, and shouting hard: "Winner!" Anling! ”

"Oh-oh-"

I saw that under the ring, those Anling people raised their arms and cheered, and some Yanling people were mixed in with them, cursing again and again.

"Who else? Who else? ”

In the center of the ring, there was a strong man with five big and three thick Anling, provoking the Yanling people in the audience with his throat.

Hearing this person's provocation, a Yanling man couldn't bear it, climbed into the ring, and shouted: "Yanling! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of Anling people cheering around.

"Shhh

And among them, there is also a lot of swearing and cheering.

"Kill this Yanling man!"

"Kill him!"

In the midst of everyone's shouts, the strong man who had won earlier glanced at the challenger proudly, and then the two sides scuffled.

Yes, scuffle.

Not a weapon, not a fist or a kick, but a wrestling.

Why? Because wrestling is the most strenuous thing, as long as each other's strength and physical strength are not too different, one side wants to defeat the other, unless the wrestling skills are very good, otherwise it is very physically demanding, and only in this way can in just a few days, so that the two counties as many as 100,000 people, so that the vast majority of them have the opportunity to play.

If you lose if you don't play, compared to losing when you play, it is naturally more convincing for future generations.

When Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Laiyu paused to watch, the two people on the stage were fighting each other, although the ring was padded with a sheepskin as thick as a knuckle, but don't forget that the sheepskin is solid wood under it, this fall, it is still not a joke.

"This way...... It seems that they are all Anling people? ”

Zhao Laiyu looked at Zhao Hongrun suspiciously.

"Does the third uncle think this king will cheat?" Zhao Hongrun seemed to understand Zhao Laiyu's expression, shook his head and said: "There are twenty of these rings in total, ten in Anling, and ten in Yanling, the former is Anling's home field, and the latter is Yanling's home field......

"Take it? Just like that guy? ”

Zhao Laiyu raised his finger and pointed to the ring, only to see that in the ring, the Yanling man actually defeated the strong man of Anling before, and shouted at the top of his voice in the cursing and inverted colors of many Anling people around the ring: "Yanling!" ”

At this time, Zhao Chengsui in the ring also showed a little regret and regret, and reluctantly shouted: "Winner, Yan Ling!" ”

"yes, that's it." Zhao Hongrun smiled and nodded.

The Yanling man, in the words of the strong man in Anling, provoked the Anling people in the audience: "Who else?!" Who else?! ”

His shouting caused many Anling people in the vicinity to be filled with righteous indignation.

But I have to say that this Anling person is really powerful, and he actually fell down several Anling people's challenges one after another.

Seeing this, Zhao Laiyu frowned slightly and said, "Hongrun, you ...... It's not proper, if one side uses a wheel war, no matter how good the person is, he will lose. ”

Zhao Hongrun said with a smile when he heard this: "I have already considered this. …… Grab the ring, get a point, and then don't beat an opponent's challenger, both get a point. Until the sun sets in the evening, it still occupies the side of the ring, and it is worth 100 points. And in the end, the side with the highest score is the winner of this ring. Speaking of this, he paused, and said with a smile: "I don't restrict the loser from playing again, as long as you have physical strength, if you don't have physical strength, it's just to give points to the other party." ”

Just when Zhao Hongrun was explaining to Zhao Laiyu, a person climbed up in the ring and said to the Yanling man: "I'm here to challenge you!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned, because he found that this person was a familiar face, it was Lu Zhi who he met in the refugee camp when he first arrived in Anling, a man who seemed to be thin but actually had good strength.

Zhao Hongrun smiled quietly, because after he saw Lu Zhi in the ring, after some hesitation, he shouted the word "Anling".

But in fact, is Lu Zhi from Anling?

No, he is from Yanling County.

Because of this, after Lu Zhi shouted the word Anling, his mood was also very awkward.

So, he added: "The original Yanling County people! ”

The Anling people under the ring were stunned, but immediately, this sentence left them behind: The people of Yanling County, aren't they also Anling people now?

"Kill him!"

"Brother, beat him to death!"

In the bursts of cheers, Lu Zhi lived up to expectations, and finally threw the Yanling man, who had defeated several opponents, to the bottom of the ring panting like a cow, unable to get up.

Seeing this, Zhao Chengsui excitedly shouted: "Winner, An Ling!" ”

"Oh-oh-"

The Anling people under the stage raised their arms and cheered, and the enthusiasm made even Lu Zhi on the stage, and even Lu Zhi, who still had some grudge against the Anling people in his heart, forgot the grievances that were not harmonious with each other, and after shouting with a red face, he also forgot to provoke those Yanling people.

It seems that provoking each other has become a customary habit.

"The old man finally understands, why did you secretly come from the refugees outside Anling City first......" Zhao Laiyu turned his head and glanced at Zhao Hongrun, nodded as if approving and said: "Two things and one thing to solve, smart!" ”

"Huh." Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly.

And while the two of them were talking, Lu Zhi once again defeated an opponent who was obviously inferior to him, so it caused cheers from the Anling people.

"Well done! Brothers! ”

"Kill them!"

Of course, it also caused the Yanling people to curse.

"It's crazy."

Looking at the crazy atmosphere around him, Zhao Laiyu may be old, and his heart can't stand the stimulation, so he left with Zhao Hongrun on crutches.

He didn't say hello to his grandson, Cho Sung-sui, because the latter did a good job.

Although it only plays the role of shouting, it seems that this kind of opportunity to show his face is not something that anyone can get casually.

"Crazy?"

Zhao Hongrun smiled and said meaningfully: "These people originally lacked a place to vent. …… After venting the evil fire in his heart, people will naturally be comfortable. ”

Zhao Laiyu glanced at those who were shouting around the ring, and shook his head secretly: Just shouting is done with strength, can you still go on stage?

But then again, it's not a way to vent.

"This son...... That's a clever move!'

Zhao Laiyu was convinced, because even he had never thought of such an incredible solution.

"Are you sure that my An Ling can win?"

Zhao Laiyu asked casually.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "Why should I be sure? Whether An Ling wins or Yan Ling wins, what does this have to do with me? ”

Zhao Laiyu's eyes widened in astonishment, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Zhao Hongrun's words were right, because the latter just gave these people a way to vent the evil fire in their hearts, and as for who can and who loses, it really doesn't matter that much.

Lost? Not convinced? Fight again next year!

I believe that after a few years, these two groups of people are full of thoughts about how to win back those they lost last year, or continue to win next year and continue to ridicule the losers, I am afraid that few people will still remember the original grievances between the two sides that caused conflicts.

And this is exactly the most clever part of Zhao Hongrun's trick: using a less important dispute to steal the day and quietly replace the national antagonism between the two.

Thinking of this, Zhao Laiyu secretly sighed, and made a rare joke with Zhao Hongrun: "If An Ling loses, I'm afraid not only will the Ministry of Rites trouble you, but the Imperial Historian will also impeach you for the crime of 'damaging national etiquette'." ”

Also, the Wei people lost to the Chu people, and this matter can be big or small.

"Ministry of Rites?" Zhao Hongrun grinned and said angrily: "The Ministry of Rites owes me a great favor!" As for the Imperial Historian, I like to say, anyway, it's not a matter of a day or two that I'm impeached, and it's not much more than him. ”

"Huh." Zhao Laiyu smiled and shook his head.

And at this moment, Duan Pei, who was among the green crows, flashed out in the crowd, and whispered a few words to Zhao Hongrun, and the latter frowned slightly. (To be continued.) )
