Chapter 80: The Dust Settles
At the same time, Wang Gui saw that Yue Fei was not moving, and he was a little anxious, as long as he defeated Liu Qi, he could become a martial champion, and when the time came, he was a little anxious: "Big brother, why don't you do it yet?" With the martial arts of the eldest brother, can you suppress the opponent? ”
"Second brother, this is a mistake!" Zhang Xian has fought with Liu Qi, he knows that Liu Qi is not as simple as it seems, and his martial arts are not weaker than Yue Fei, and he said in a deep voice: "Big brother's martial arts are indeed much stronger than those of us, but Liu Qi is not an ordinary person. I've been with him before, and I always feel like he's got room and it's easy to beat me. If the eldest brother underestimates the enemy, it may be the eldest brother who loses! ”
Tang Huai, Yang Zheng and the others all looked at Zhang Xian intently, they also felt the same way, especially Yang Zheng, he felt that Liu Qi's temperament was not like a martial artist, but it was somewhat similar to Wu Xuan's brother Wu Jie, as if he had been trained in the army, calm and atmospheric; Yue Fei's temperament is the opposite, lacking some experience, even if it seems to be calm, there is still a gap after all.
Wang Gui was surprised, glanced at Liu Qi again, and whispered, "Is he really that powerful?" ”
When the few of them spoke again, Yue Fei took the lead in attacking, using a move "Mountains and Flowing Water", and stabbed him with both hands when he lifted the Liquan gun; When Liu Qi saw Yue Fei attacking, he dodged and avoided it, holding a gun in both hands to block Yue Fei's attack. Then, Yue Fei quickly put away his gun and stabbed it again; Liu Qi stood his spear sideways and blocked Yue Fei's weapon again.
Liu Qi took advantage of the situation with both hands, picked up Yue Fei's Liquan gun, and used a trick "Qinglong Big Swing Tail", the spear in his hand suddenly came out of his hand, and grabbed the handle of the gun with one hand; When Yue Fei saw him coming, he couldn't help but make another move, "The Childish Phoenix Returns to the Nest". The spears in the hands of the two touched each other again, and Yue Fei violently withdrew the spear in his hand again, and took advantage of the situation to shoot again.
Liu Qi made a move "Huanglong turned over and jumped", turned over sharply to avoid, and attacked again; Yue Fei blocked again. Gradually, the two of them also spread their hands and feet, and they were still tentative back and forth before, and they no longer thought about what kind of moves to use, and they could use any marksmanship at their fingertips.
It was only at this time that Wang Gui believed that Liu Qi's martial arts were not weaker than Yue Fei's, and he was dazzled by the pistol technique, and he did his best to make all his moves, and Yue Fei also made all his moves, and he didn't dare to be careless. As the battle between the two lengthened, Zong Ze and Zhang Jun looked at each other, and they saw what kind of marksmanship Liu Qi used, and even Zhao Gou saw it, and said in a low voice: "It turns out that he used the Five Tigers Broken Door Gun!" ”
The marksmanship used by Yue Fei was learned by Elder Zhiming from his secret book. However, the marksmanship used by Liu Qi was the marksmanship evolved from the Yang family's marksmanship during the Great Song Dynasty. Liu Qi followed his father to fight in the north and south, witnessed the cruelty of the war since he was a child, and was helped by the five tigers' broken door marksmanship, and he also fought with Yue Fei for a long time.
Yue Fei saw that Liu Qi used superb marksmanship, and with his dexterous body skills, he was able to fight with ease and counterattack. You must know that Yue Fei was born with amazing arm strength, and Liu Qi was not an opponent at all, so he could only choose a light attack method. After years of practice and battlefield training, Liu Qi is extremely proficient in this marksmanship. He is a general, and his father is also a military general, but he did not learn the family knife technique, but chose marksmanship, because he heard a lot of the heroic deeds of the Yang family general since he was a child, and was deeply affected, so he chose to learn the Five Tigers Broken Door Gun.
Liu Qi is the ninth son of Liu Zhongwu, the same as Zhao Gou, but he is a little older than Zhao Gou. Liu Zhongwu saw that his son liked marksmanship, so he didn't stop him, but supported him. In addition, invite the more famous local marksmanship to come and teach their sons marksmanship, the same moves, depending on whose hands to use. Therefore, Liu Qi not only has superb marksmanship, but even his knife skills are good, but he prefers spears.
The two fought inextricably, and they had been fighting for hundreds of rounds without a winner, and both of them were a little out of breath. However, both of them are very happy, it is a great fortune in life to meet opponents in chess, especially since both of them use spears, so the pure marksmanship exchange between the two seems to be fatal, but in fact there is a point.
Even if you are injured, it is not fatal. Liu Qi stopped attacking, gasping violently, looking at Yue Fei with some joy in his eyes, his face was full of smiles, and said, "Brother Yue, how dare I do the last blow?" ”
Yue Fei also smiled slightly, nodded breathlessly, and replied: "The last blow will be a showdown!" ”
The two of them fought again for a hundred rounds, and they were already exhausted. If it goes on like this for a long time, it will still be impossible to decide the winner, maybe both will lose, and the two will cherish each other in the battle. So, Yue Fei used the "Desert Lonely Smoke", and Liu Qi used the "Meteor to Catch the Moon".
In an instant, time seemed to stand still!
Everyone looked at Liu Qi and Yue Fei in amazement, only to see that the spears in their hands were intertwined, and there was a trace of blood on the blades. Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and others shouted in unison: "Big brother! So all of them rushed forward. When they left, Zhao Gou had already gotten up and rushed away.
Zhang Jun and Zong Ze also followed, and Wang Duo was a literati, so he had to stand aside. Zhao Gou saw that both of them were exhausted, and the last move was the key to a showdown. However, when Zhao Gou saw that both of them had used killing moves, he knew that something was wrong.
Although Zhao Gou was fast, he was still not as fast as the two of them, and they were both stabbed by each other's weapons. Zhao Gou hurriedly separated the two, and the weapons in the hands of Liu Qi and Yue Fei fell in response, and Yue Fei collapsed to the ground, blood flowing from his shoulders; Liu Qi was also out of breath, barely standing up straight, and there were blood stains on his shoulders, but it was a little better than Yue Fei.
Both of them avoided the attack, and the original part of the attack was the heart. However, the two will choose to avoid the key points when they cherish each other. Zhao Gou saw that the two of them were fine, so he was relieved, and carefully checked the injuries of the two, Liu Qi barely stood up, and said loudly: "The victory and defeat have been divided, Liu Qi is the current martial champion!" ”
Liu Qi was a little stunned, and turned to look at Zhao Gou; Yue Fei stood up with the support of Zhang Xian and others, and said sincerely: "Congratulations to Brother Liu for winning the title of martial champion!" ”
"If you really talk about martial arts, Brother Yue should be the champion of martial arts, your marksmanship is far better than mine, I am convinced!" Liu Qi replied that what he said was also true. After all, Yue Fei's marksmanship was much stronger than him. The reason why he won was also because Liu Qi had enough experience and determination to fight on the battlefield.
Yue Fei smiled slightly and said: "Pengju's skills are not as good as others, and he is willing to bow to the wind!" This position of martial champion, Brother Liu deserves his name! ”
Liu Qi felt a little bitter in his heart, he was five years older than Yue Fei, and he followed his father to fight. If it is the same age as Yue Fei, Liu Qi asks himself if he is Yue Fei's opponent. Yue Fei is open-minded, and he also congratulates Liu Qi sincerely, without any pretentiousness.
Seeing the two of them admiring each other, Zhao Gou announced loudly: "The results of this martial arts examination have been released, and Liu Qi has won the first place, and he is the champion of today's martial arts; The eye of the list is Yue Fei, Yang Yizhong is Tanhua, and the remaining fifty people are given the Jinshi background, and the next two hundred people are given the same Jinshi background. ”
Since then, the martial arts examination has officially ended. Many candidates dispersed one after another, and Zhao Gou and others had to register and make a book, and write down all the rankings and backgrounds of everyone. The next day, it needs to be presented to Song Huizong for inspection. Liu Qi felt a little helpless in his heart, feeling that he was not in line with the martial champion, no matter what, he won the last battle, and he deserved it. As for the future whether Yue Fei and Liu Qi are higher or lower in martial arts has nothing to do with this time, that is a matter for the future.
On the contrary, the nine of them were all martial arts candidates, and they were familiar with each other, so everyone gathered together and came to the tavern to eat and drink. Zhao Gou led Zong Ze, Zhang Jun and others to leave and returned to the Privy Council, and it was already late at night when he placed the sorted files. However, Zhao Gou couldn't return to the house yet, and hurriedly entered the palace to meet his father.
"Lao Jiu, what is the result of the martial arts?" Song Huizong saw that Zhao Gou came late at night and asked.
Zhao Gou said respectfully: "Back to my father, the dust has settled on the martial arts exam. Tomorrow morning, the sons will submit the list of the top three, and then the father can conduct the palace examination. However, in this martial arts exam, Zhang Da obstructed several times, I don't know what his intentions are? Another thing is that King Xiao Liang was shot to death by Yue Fei, and I am afraid that there will be a dispute in the court tomorrow morning. ”
"I already know all these things. This time, you handled it cleanly, withheld it, and then calculated it together and did it beautifully. As for King Xiaoliang's death, it has nothing to do with him, but because of his own lack of strength, and he has made a life and death document, he can only consider himself unlucky. ”
Song Huizong knew everything that happened to Wuju, and Zhao Gou also knew about it. I heard Song Huizong laugh again: "Old Jiu, I remember that this Yue Fei is from Tangyin County, and he is your senior brother. The dukes are selfless, fair and strict, and I see it in my eyes, and you have finally grown a little. ”
When Song Huizong mentioned Yue Fei and the others, Zhao Gou also smiled slightly. After all, they hadn't seen each other for some time. Although Zhao Gou wanted to recognize Yue Fei and the others, he also knew that it was not the right time. Song Huizong's praise, Zhao Gou is also a temporary and wise man, and he must learn to use his brain in the officialdom, only martial arts are also the courage of a reckless man, and he can't become a big weapon. If you want to gain a foothold, you must learn to use your brain, and every step needs to be considered clearly, so as not to be framed by others.
