The two of them squeezed into the crowd and came to the front of the first row, Xu Ning and Tanglong looked into the ring and saw a man with a broad waist standing on the stage.

The man was eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his face was like a grinding plate, his eyebrows were completely empty, his face was full of horizontal meat, his strange eyes were round, his lion nose was square, he was wearing coarse cloth clothes on his upper body, and his lower body was rolling pants with a crotch and a belt around his waist, and he was talking on stage with a shy stomach and a big grin.

"Fellow villagers, three old and four young, all heroes, I am the first to say a wrist, I am a native of Zhongshan Mansion, and the people are very famous, but they have taken refuge everywhere in their lives, and they have not been taken in. The rivers and lakes are called him "faceless", I have three generations of ancestors, sumo wrestling for a living, learning is a unique single 36-way dragon catcher, because I passed by this Yanzhou, cyst shy, learned that a temple fair is held here, I put down the ring here, nothing else, which hero feels that he has two hits, so he came up and fought with me, won, I offer a tattoo of silver twenty bright, this is also my last entanglement, if you lose the side to pay me ten taels of silver, fair and reasonable, Tong Su is not bullied, which good man in Yanzhou is willing to come up and try. The man in the ring said with his waist in his hands.

As soon as Jiao Ting's words fell, he heard someone shouting under the stage, and jumped into the ring.

The big man hugged his fist towards Jiao Ting and said, "In Mahai, the capital of Yanzhou, come to learn the mastery of the heroes." ”

Ma Hai raised his fist and hit it when he finished speaking, but was stopped by Jiao Ting, who was standing opposite, Jiao Ting waved his hand and said: "A good man and the last to do it, this ugly thing is said in front, there are no eyes in the ring competition, if there is any injury and broken arm and broken ribs, I don't have to pay compensation, in one is these ten taels of silver have to be taken out first, but I live this one, hehe." ”

That Ma Hai was not ambiguous, nodded and agreed immediately, took out ten taels of silver from his arms, and threw it to Jiao Ting, Jiao Ting put away the silver with a smile, and then tightened the clothes on his body, and Zhou cleaned up and down neatly, and then said to Ma Hai: "Good man, come on, I'm ready." ”

"Okay, be careful." Ma Hai screamed, jumped up, raised his fist and hit, and the big fist was picked up and the wind was blowing, and the insiders could see that this Ma Hai had a certain real ability.

Seeing that Jiao Ting's face did not change, he punched and hit a tower pier, and when he saw Ma Hai coming, his figure flashed, and he dodged Ma Hai's fist, and then before Ma Hai could react, Jiao Ting grabbed Ma Hai's waist with one hand, buckled Ma Hai's shoulder with the other, and fought with both arms, and threw Ma Hai to the ground stiffly.

Ma Hai was unfavorable, so he was naturally dissatisfied, and when the next carp stood up and attacked Jiao Ting again, the two of them went back and forth in the ring, fighting for nearly ten rounds, and the surrounding people were loudly applauding and applauding.

As the saying goes, insiders look at the excitement, laymen look at the doorway, Xu Ning and Tang Long are both practitioners, so it is natural to see that the man named Jiao Ting is much more powerful than Ma Hai, and Ma Hai will definitely lose in less than ten rounds.

Sure enough, in the fifteenth round, Jiao Ting saw a flaw, and when he swept the hall, Ma Hai's body was unstable, and his body was about to fall, and then Jiao Ting grabbed Ma Hai's belt with his big hand, and threw Ma Hai out of the distance with all his might.

Then I saw Ma Haijie fall to the ground solidly, he didn't ease his breath for a long time, and after a long time, he stood up, knowing that he had lost, and he was not angry at the moment, and he generously hugged his fist towards Jiao Ting and said: "The good man is handsome, I admire it, this is my loss, and I will meet it again in the future and try it with the hero." ”

After Ma Hai finished speaking, he arched his hand to the surroundings again, got out of the ring and walked out of the crowd, Tang Long at the bottom saw Ma Hai so generous, and he also praised it vigorously: "He is a good man, and he is willing to gamble and lose, and I admire this because of this." ”

Xu Ning next to him also nodded in agreement and said: "This Jiao Ting is also a good man, his skills are extraordinary, and his kung fu on this fist and foot is equal to mine." ”

After Tang Long heard this, he didn't believe it, his brother Xu Ning's martial arts were clear to him, although he couldn't be called the first among the generals in the capital, but he could also rank in the top five, he pouted at the moment and said: "Brother Hugh wants to grow up with other people's ambition to destroy his own prestige, I see that this Jiao Ting is powerful, let me go up and try whether his strength is as powerful as my brother said." ”

Xu Ning was about to stop him, but Tang Long had already jumped into the ring one step ahead of him, and Jiao Ting was still talking in the ring, when he suddenly saw an ugly man jumping up.

Jiao Ting shook his eyes and looked, and saw that this three-point man was not like a person and seven points like a ghost, the ugly one couldn't be uglier anymore, with a figure of more than seven feet, a numb face, a big road on his nose, one eye big and one small, a big man with a few locks of hair sparsely on his head, his body was burly, with a hunched back, and two hands full of calluses, Jiao Ting looked at himself and secretly wondered, where did this come from.

"Is this good man also here to compete in martial arts? I don't know the name of the people? Jiao Ting hugged his fist towards Tang Long and asked.

Tang Long laughed and said: "I'm just a nobody, I just saw a hero with extraordinary skills under the stage, and I also have some itchy hands, so I came up to ask for advice." ”

As soon as Jiao Ting saw that the other party did not reveal his identity, he didn't ask anymore, and immediately put on a move, and shouted at Tang Long, although Tang Long was born in iron, but he also followed his father to learn boxing and foot martial arts since he was a child, and learned a few moves from Xu Ning, and ordinary people are really not his opponents.

But Tang Long's opponent is not an ordinary person, if he tests weapons, then Jiao Ting may not be able to beat Tang Long, but if he tests his fists and feet, Jiao Ting thinks that he has not lost anyone.

In the first fifty rounds, the two of them fought equally, but in the back, Tang Long gradually became a little weak, stumbling left and right, full of flaws, and embarrassed.

Xu Ning under the stage saw that his brother was at a disadvantage, and it looked like he was about to lose, he was afraid that Tang Long would be injured, so he rushed to the ring with the next lunge, blocked the Jiao Ting fist, and replaced Tang Long, who was sweating profusely.

"Brother, go down and rest, and wait for my brother to meet him for a while." Xu Ning rescued Tang Long and said, Tang Long knew that he was not Jiao Ting's opponent, nodded, said brother be careful, and then turned around and returned to the bottom of the ring.

"Who are you?" Jiao Ting saw a tall man who came up, good-looking but upright, and saved the ugly man from Fang Cai, and then he also accepted the move and asked.

Xu Ning hugged his fist towards Jiao Ting, and said at the moment: "My brother Fang Cai's skills are itchy, I don't know how thick the sky is, and when I come up to compare with a hero, his skills are not as good as others, but Fang Cai lost, and there is nothing else in the bottom, and I want to ask for advice." ”

Jiao Ting saw another one coming up, and he was happy in his heart, there are three people in such a big time, if he is defeated again, it will be thirty taels of silver, enough for his own expenses in the past few months, and he immediately said please and took the lead.

Since this Jiao Ting is here to set up the ring, it shows that he has a bit of ability, the big slap is slapped with the sound of the wind, don't look at the big lump, it is very dexterous, others don't know, but Tang Long, who was watching from the side, could see that if this palm hit Xu Xuning's body, he would break his bones and tendons, knowing that Xu Ning was capable, he was also worried about him.

Xu Ning is also secretly careful, the two of you come and go, fists and feet together, after 30 rounds of fighting, I saw Xu Ning "poof" rising from the ground, just like a swallow so light, Jiao Ting looked up, Xu Ning jumped up seven or eight feet high, and saw his left arm hugging his head, his right arm stretched out, his left leg down, his right leg coiled on his left leg, "brush" went straight to Jiao Ting's face door, this trick is called "Tie Guan Li fell down the ladder", he used his left leg to climb Jiao Ting's brain, really to board, fractured tendons.

Say it's too late, then it's fast, and the "brush" will arrive. Jiao Ting didn't look good, "sigh", flashed to the side, this is fooled, why is Xu Ning crossed on one leg and stretched out on one leg? If the outstretched leg lifts you up, what if you can't? This leg becomes a problem, which means to try where you are hiding, you have to dodge, tell people, the leg that is crossed is stretched, this leg is real, it will land on you. I saw Jiao Ting flash to the left and avoided it, Xu Ning withdrew his left leg and straightened his right leg, and Jiao Ting's head was kicked in the heart. "Smack!" This scared Jiao Ting out of his body, said "not good", kicked his body back on his toes, made a diamond sticker bridge, and dodged Xu Ning's two feet. Xu Ning secretly picked a thumbs up when he saw it.

Xu Ning's two feet went straight to his stomach and boarded, this Jiao Ting looked at it, and said "not good", rubbed the ground with his heels, and "poof" jumped up a step, Xu Ning landed with both feet in the air, and smashed the wooden planks on the ring with a "click" on the ground, which shows how much effort Xu Ning has on his legs. Xu Ning saw that Jiao Ting's trick had also been dodged, so he took advantage of the situation, and pushed forward, bending his legs and using his knees to scorch his stomach. This is a continuous action, not to be slowed down, firm and see that the situation is not good, just go up, dodge those two feet, I didn't think that the knee came again, Jiao Ting didn't look good, and called out again, "My mother!" He jumped again, and his knee missed the point, and then he hit the brick again.

At this time, Xu Ning was also a little anxious, and he was able to dodge these moves in a row, which showed that the opponent was amazing. Don't look at the failure of these legs, and the arms, he used his two elbows to run to his stomach. Jiao Ting took a look, what kind of trick is this? With the strength of his whole body, he went up again, Xu Ning's elbows were empty, and his two hands came up again, this trick was called the eagle catching the rabbit. These two hands were firmly pinched on Jiao Ting's neck, he stood up, picked Jiao Ting, and turned around the courtyard three times, so that Jiao Ting was shaking and scattered. Xu Ning flipped his wrist, lifted him above his head, and gently put him down. I saw that Jiao Ting couldn't stand still, and he swayed straight as if he was drunk.

Xu Ning saw that it was almost over, although he would not lose if he continued to fight, but he would not take any advantage, and at that moment the figure jumped out of the circle, hugged his fist towards Jiao Ting, and said: "The good man is so handsome, we just made a little joke, and I asked the good man to forgive me for being inconsiderate." ”

Jiao Ting also fell down, stood firm, and said to Xu Ning with a heavy fist: "Today I met a master, as the saying goes, there are mountains outside the mountain, and there are people outside the people, I Jiao Ting is happy to meet a hero today, how about I wait for this place to eat and drink?" ”

Xu Ning didn't speak, and Tang Long under him jumped up all of a sudden, and said: "Okay, okay, I am also very happy to see such a good man today, brother, why don't I wait to eat some wine and have a good drink." ”

Xu Ning didn't want to go, he already had a lawsuit on his body, and it was not good for someone to recognize him, but he was nothing, but Gongsun Daochang went to the capital to pick up his family, and if he came back and couldn't find anyone, it would be troublesome.

But then I thought about it, from here to the capital back and forth fast horses also have to have seven or eight days of travel, these days I don't think about tea and dinner, today I met a man like Jiao Ting, naturally I want to have a drink, and relieve the mood.

At that moment, Xu Ning nodded and said: "Where in life do you not meet, how can you not make people happy when you meet Brother Jiao Ting today, okay, the three of us will go to a tavern and have a good meal." ”

"Okay, happy, it's also my honor to meet the two of you, let's go and drink together." Jiao Ting laughed and said heartily.

Then Jiao Ting withdrew from the ring, cleaned up briefly, and followed Xu Ning and Tang Long to find a tavern in the county town, and found a private room on the second floor to sit down.

ordered a large table of wine and food, three jars of good wine, three people pushed the cup and changed the lamp, drank wine and ate meat, so lively.

The three of them ate for a while, Jiao Ting put down the wine bowl, looked at Xu Ning and Tang Long and asked, "It's been like this for a long time, I don't know the names of the two people, but I don't know the names of the two people?" ”

Xu Ning and Tang Long glanced at each other, and Xu Ning said with a smile: "Brother Jiao Ting, don't blame, it's just because the two of me have something unspeakable, and my two brothers are important criminals in the imperial court, so it's better not to involve my brothers." ”

Jiao Ting couldn't hear this, and immediately threw the wine bowl on the table, and Pu Fan's big hand slapped on the table, his eyes widened angrily, and said: "Where did the two brothers say, how can I Jiao Ting be such a villain, if the two brothers are not at ease, then take my head." After speaking, he tilted his head and stopped talking.

Xu Ning laughed and said, "Brother Jiao Ting, I am naturally trustworthy, but I'm afraid that it will affect my brother." ”

"Brother, just say it, I Jiao Ting was born to be a man who is not afraid of heaven and earth, I can swear that if I betray my two brothers, I will not die well if I hit five thunders in the sky." Jiao Ting slapped his big hand and swore and said.

"Brother, Mo Yan is so, I'll tell you, I and my brother are both from Tokyo, because they offended today's Taiwei Tong Guan old thief was sent to Jiangzhou, and I got here thanks to the help of Gongsun Daochang of Yunlong to get out of trouble, my brothers are all important criminals in today's court, don't let my brother know, I'm really afraid of affecting my brother." Tang Long explained beside him.

Hearing Tang Long's words, Jiao Ting's eyes lit up, and he asked Xu Ning at the moment: "I have also heard about Tokyo in the past few days, and people say that the leader of the Tokyo Golden Gun Class is called the Golden Gun Bearer Xu Ning's good man was framed and imprisoned, and he was assigned to Jiangzhou, my brother is not the head of Xu Ning Xu, so this Mo is not the money leopard Tang Long in person?" ”

"Hahaha, oops, I didn't expect that someone here in Tang Long heard of my name, my brother guessed well, I am the money leopard Tang Long, this is my cousin Xu Ning, the golden gunner." As soon as Jiao Ting's words fell, Tang Long burst into laughter and said.

When Jiao Ting heard this, he immediately hugged his fist towards Xu Ning and Tang Long, and said with some excitement: "I have long heard of the name of Xu Ning, the head of the Golden Gun Class, but I never thought that I would meet it today, hahaha." ”

After complimenting each other, the three of them began to drink wine and eat meat, chatting about the world, so unhappy, after three rounds of wine and five flavors, the three of them ate almost, and they were a little drunk.

"What are Brother Jiao Ting's plans for the future?" Xu Ning asked at the moment of the wine bowl.

Jiao Ting grinned and said: "My parents died when I was young, and the whole family was not hungry when I was fed. ”

"Brother, let's fall in love, it's better to go to Liangshan with us to gather righteousness, when the time comes, eat a lot of wine, eat a lot of meat, follow Wang Yue to do a great career for the sky, and do a great career vigorously, and it will not be in vain for the good ability of the brothers." Tang Long, who was next to him, patted Jiao Ting's shoulder and said intimately.

Jiao Ting was naturally happy when he heard this, nodded and agreed immediately, and the three of them made an appointment to wait until Gongsun Sheng came back, and then got up and rushed to Liangshan to join the gang.

Xu Ning paid for the wine, the three of them returned to the inn, and Jiao Ting also opened a room, which was next to Tang Long, and the three of them had a good idea. Every day, I drink wine and eat meat, practice martial arts, and I am also at ease.

In a blink of an eye, ten days have passed, this morning, Xu Ning and the three of them just got up, and they drank a little late yesterday, so they got up a little late, and the three of them finished eating, and it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning according to the current hour.

As soon as the three of them finished eating, they heard the sound of a carriage outside the inn, stopped at the door, and walked in from outside in less than a moment, a Taoist priest walked in from outside, with two hair bands, loose double buns, wearing a collar of Bashan short brown robes, with a mixed color silk around the waist, and a pine pattern bronze sword on his back. The white flesh feet are lined with multi-eared hemp shoes, and the cotton bag holds a turtle shell fan in his hand. figure-eight eyebrows, a pair of apricot eyes; Quartet mouth, a group of beards, fairy wind bones, it is none other than the Yunyun Dragon Gongsun Sheng who took Xu Ning's family back.

"Gongsun Daochang." As soon as Xu Ning saw Gongsun Sheng coming back, he was overjoyed at the moment, and stood up to greet him.

"Hahaha, Xu Jiaotou, fortunately, I don't disgrace my life, Poor Dao has already taken Xu Niangzi and Ling Lang out, and they are outside the door at this time." Gongsun Sheng looked tired, but still said with a smile.

Xu Ning was moved at first sight, and thanked him vigorously, at this moment, Xu Niangzi walked in with Xu Ning's five-year-old son Xu Sheng, and the family of three naturally had endless words to say, Gongsun Sheng, Tang Long and Jiao Ting went back for fear of disturbing them.

The group rested in the inn for another day, early the next morning, Xu Ning paid for the store, a few people packed up their things, loaded them into the car, and invited Xu Niangzi and Xiao Xu Sheng to sit in the carriage, and Jiao Ting drove the carriage, Tang Long drove the truck, Gongsun Sheng and Xu Ning bought two fast horses, followed by the side, and several people went to Liangshan.
