Chapter 80: The Controversy between Li and Zhang (4)
When Zhang Qiao shot the tenth arrow, there was a cheer all around, and each of the ten arrows hit the bull's-eye, Tang Huai praised in a low voice: "Good archery!" ”
Wang Gui was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and turned back to Tang Huai and said, "If you don't have a firm position, how can you praise the enemy?" ”
Tang Huai pursed his lips and whispered, "He's not our enemy, and besides, he shoots well!" What does it matter if you praise twice? ”
Wang Gui glared at him, "Lao Li's enemy is my Wang Gui's enemy, and Lao Li is still a good friend of you, you'd better figure out your position." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Yue Fei hurriedly persuaded the two of them, "You two don't argue at every turn, Lao Li is going to shoot arrows!" ”
At this time, Li Yanqing also picked up the eight-bucket bow that Zhang Qiao had just used, put a pot of arrows on his back, and walked around with his fists high, and the cheers around him were like thunder, and the applause was obviously much warmer than Zhang Qiao's, of course everyone supported the children of Xiaohe Township.
Li Yanqing returned to the archery line, at this time, Jia Ding had already set a new arrow target, Li Yanqing drew the arrow and wound it, once again exerting the powerful power of his beaded arrows, one arrow was faster than the other, and ten arrows were accurately shot on the bull's-eye.
The applause around became louder and louder, and as the last arrow was fired, almost all the guests cheered, and even Wang Wanhao applauded passionately, leaving Zhang Junbao out in the cold, Zhang Junbao was secretly annoyed, and let Li Wenyou taste the taste of being slapped in the face later.
Jia Ding showed the two arrow targets to everyone, although both of them were bullseyes in the ten arrows, but Li Yanqing's arrows were obviously more neat, regularly distributed, and shot into a circle, while Zhang Qiao's arrows were a little messy, who was high and who was low, insiders could see at a glance.
However, out of order to take care of Zhang Baojun's face, Wang Wanhao and Tang Lian could only declare a draw in the archery.
But Zhang Qiao couldn't accept the draw, he was seventeen years old, and he was still the third place in the dignified Xiangzhou martial arts test, and the other party was just a twelve-year-old country boy, if a draw was announced, it would be equivalent to him losing.
He immediately shouted to everyone: "I have made an agreement with Li Shaolang just now, if the arrow is tied, then continue to compare weapons until the winner is decided." ”
The surroundings were suddenly silent, and everyone looked at each other, is this unclear that the big is bullying the small?
Li Wenyou asked loudly, "Qing'er, do you accept it?" ”
Li Yanqing smiled: "Patriarch, I have no problem!" ”
"But I'm a little worried!"
Li Wenyou glanced at Zhang Junbao, "I'm afraid that someone will lose and won't admit it!" ”
Zhang Junbao was immediately furious, "You don't come to provoke the law, when did our Zhang family lose and didn't admit it?" ”
Li Wenyou said meaningfully: "That's the best!" ”
On the field, Li Yanqing stepped forward and said to Zhang Qiao: "How do you compare?" ”
Zhang Qiao shook his head, "I'll compete with you in riding and shooting, and it is estimated that others will also scold me for bullying you, since you are young, let you decide." ”
Wang Gui shouted: "Lao Li, compete with him!" ”
This is also what Li Yanqing meant, he is most sure that he is hitting stones, but he is worried that the villagers will not recognize that hitting stones is a martial art, so he can only retreat to the next best thing and compete with swords.
He smiled faintly and said, "I'll compete with you for a sword." ”
"Good! That's what you brought me. ”
When everyone heard that the two were going to compete with swords, they were even more interested, and they didn't care about drinking and eating, so they gathered around and discussed.
Although everyone hopes that Li Yanqing can win, after all, the opponent is the third place in the martial arts test, how can a country boy be the opponent of the test and the lifter.
Zhang Junbao was even more proud, and in front of Wang Wanhao and Tang Lian, he said to Li Wenyou fakely: "I have instructed my nephew to be merciful, and he will not hurt Brother Qing'er, at most he will be a little ugly, then there is no way." ”
Li Wenyou blushed and said nothing.
Li Yanqing's thick-ridged short sword has always been carried with him, which he inadvertently got when he was eating wine at Li Dongdong's house, the sword weighed seven catties, which was a little heavy back then, and now he uses the weight just right.
Zhang Qiao's sword is a fifteen-pound bladeless heavy sword, not so much a sword, but a whip, he is a powerful warrior, good at using a hammer and whip, he takes a heavy sword, but uses the whip method.
The two stood three zhang apart, the referee was Liu Wushi, a newly hired martial artist of Wang Gui's family, he was an expert, and at a glance, he knew that Zhang Qiao had taken a big advantage, the sword was heavy and long, and the strength was heavy, and Brother Li's short sword was not vulnerable at all, but what surprised him a little was that Brother Li actually used the army's war sword, which was extremely rare.
Wang Wanhao shouted loudly: "Until the point, no one is allowed to hurt!" ”
Zhang Qiao squinted at Li Yanqing's sword, he was sure that the weight of his sword was at least twice that of the other party, and as long as he hit the opponent's weapon away, the opponent's weapon would be knocked away, and if the opponent had no weapon, he would win.
Li Wenyou was really nervous in his heart, and his palms were sweating, this strategy was proposed by Li Yanqing, and he used the method of gambling to force Zhang Junbao to give up the fleet, although Li Wenyou did not approve of it, he did not want Li Yanqing to take risks.
But apart from this method, he had no way out, so he had to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but Li Yanqing actually drew with the opponent's archery, which made Li Wenyou's heart ignite another glimmer of hope.
Li Wenyou secretly prayed for God's blessing and begged the ancestor to bless Li Yanqing to defeat the other party and let their food survive in a desperate situation.
Liu Wushi shouted, "Begin!" ”
Zhang Qiao pulled out a sword flower, shouted, and rushed up, Li Yanqing's figure was faster, flashed, the two sides had already made a move, Zhang Qiao slashed the air with a sword, and the sword slashed heavily on the ground, Li Yanqing's hand was not seen clearly, but he carried the short sword on his shoulder, and looked at Zhang Qiao with a smile.
Wang Gui suddenly jumped up, pointed at Zhang Qiao and shouted: "He lost!" ”
Everyone was inexplicable, they didn't see anything clearly, where did Zhang Qiao lose? Zhang Qiao remained motionless, his face swollen red, and suddenly, his belt fell to the ground, and his robe was open, revealing the white underwear inside.
Everyone burst into laughter, it turned out that Little Brother Li cut off the other party's belt with a sword, isn't this a win? The crowd applauded and shouted.
Li Wenyou calmed down at this time, he glanced back at Zhang Junbao, and said lightly: "You lost!" ”
Tang Lian smiled slightly on the side: "Wu Xie Juren has indeed shown mercy. ”
Zhang Junbao was slapped in the face in public, his face was ashamed and annoyed, extremely ugly, he walked quickly to Zhang Qiao, and scolded viciously in a low voice: "Useless thing!" ”
Zhang Qiao was ashamed, holding a sword in one hand and a robe in the other, he didn't even bother to pick up his belt, he lowered his head and walked away quickly, he didn't want to stay here for a moment.
Only Liu Wushi was shocked and discolored, he is an expert, Li Yanqing's sword is only known best to him, and it can only be described as 'fast, accurate, and ruthless', if it is a real battle, Zhang Qiao has been disemboweled, how old is this young man, how can swordsmanship be so powerful?
Wang Gui and Yue Fei rushed over with cheers, hugging Li Yanqing tightly to celebrate the victory, but Tang Huai was a little embarrassed, stepped forward and smiled at Li Yanqing: "Good swordsmanship!" ”
After the competition, everyone went to the front to eat, Li Wanhao patted Zhang Junbao's shoulder, and said apologetically: "Lao Zhang, I'm sorry this time, next time I use the boat, I will give you priority." ”
Zhang Junbao was really helpless in his heart, so he had to glare at Li Wenyou fiercely, and left with hatred, he lost today and had nothing to say, so he could only find a way to clean up the Li family in the future.
Wang Wanhao looked at his back and shook his head, this person is narrow-minded and wants to stab the Li family in the back, but in the end he humiliates himself, so why bother?
Wang Wanhao walked up to Li Wenyou and congratulated: "Congratulations to Brother Li, you are brave and strategic, and you win very beautifully!" ”
Li Wenyou's face was radiant, his little eyes flashed brightly, and he squinted at Wang Wanhao and said, "Now I only care about when you will give me the boat as soon as possible?" ”
Wang Wanhao laughed, "Brother Li, don't worry! If I have agreed, how can I go back on it! ”
"Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, how can I not be in a hurry?"
Wang Wanhao thought for a while and said: "The fleet is on the Yongji Canal, you can borrow it at any time, but I want to make it clear, I won't let the price, you have to add another fifty percent to the usual ship price." ”
"No problem, I'll give you the highest price, I'll rush to Anyang County now, I won't drink the wine, and I'll apologize to you when I go back."
Wang Wanhao saw that he was anxious, so he ordered the steward to pack up the ship and go north, and Li Wenyou walked in front of Li Yanqing again.
He pressed Li Yanqing's shoulder heavily, and said to him with great emotion: "Qing'er, this time I saw in you what is called bloodline honor and disgrace, and we are in the same boat, our Li family has a clansman like you, and we will definitely prosper." ”
Li Yanqing nodded silently, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as he became more and more deeply integrated into this era, he gradually realized the inseparable blood between people of that race, and the courage to fight for the interests of the family without hesitation.
"I'll accompany the patriarch to Anyang in the north! I'm still a little worried. ”
Li Wenyou grinned and said: "No need, this is an army ship, borrow a hundred dares from him and don't dare to mess around, you go to the county to study hard, and strive to be admitted as soon as possible, okay!" I don't want to say much about the big truth, time is pressing, I have to go first. ”
Li Yanqing sent the patriarch out of the gate, Li Wenyou walked a few steps, stopped again, as if he thought of something, he patted his forehead and looked back and smiled: "Look at me in a hurry for the past two days, we are the first in the examination in Qing'er County, and I, the patriarch, have not given a reward, I am incompetent!" ”
"What is the patriarch going to give me?" Li Yanqing scratched his head and asked expectantly.
"I'll give you the wild goose!"
"What!" Li Yanqing almost stepped on the air and shouted out of his voice.
Li Wenyou was in a very happy mood, he couldn't help laughing, "Just kidding you, the prize I gave you has been sent to your house, you can see it when you go back, I believe you will not be disappointed." ”
After speaking, Li Wenyou got into the carriage and waved his hand to Li Yanqing, the coachman whipped the horse fiercely, and the carriage quickly started and drove away in the direction of Yongjiqu Wharf.
