[Ran^Text^Library] Licheng, also known as Jinan, was the place where Qi County was governed for seven years, and the locals Wang Bo (Note 1) and Meng Rang raised troops against the Sui here, and became the first peasant army to oppose the Sui. In a few years, he moved to the whole territory of Shandong, with more than 100,000 people, and called himself "Zhishilang", which dealt a heavy blow to Yang Guang's rule. Yang Guang has not stopped attacking him, but the effect is not obvious.

"Shandong Duohaojie" means that most of the people here are hot-blooded people, which can also be seen from Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin.

Cheng Yanjin drove the donkey cart with his mother, walked for two days, and finally arrived in Licheng. Looking at the tall city gate, Cheng Yanjin turned back to his mother and said: "Mother, we are now in Licheng, Li Duwei asked the person I picked up to live in the city, if it goes well, we can go back to Longmen if we pick it up." ”

On the way, Cheng Biting Jin and his mother told everything about these days, Cheng's mother was also happy for her son, and finally embarked on the right path, and also told him to listen to Li Xiang's words carefully.

Cheng's mother smiled: "You can just watch it, my mother will listen to you." ”

Cheng Yanjin has been very happy in the past two days, and with his mother by his side, he feels at home. Hearing his mother say this, he was also happy for a while, it was not easy for his mother to pull him to grow up, and now it was time for him to repay his mother's kindness.

After entering the city, Cheng Yanjin first found an inn to settle down with his mother, and then came out to find Qin Qiong's home. Asking all the way, there are really many people who know Qin Qiong, but there is no one who knows where his family is. Cheng Yanjin was distressed, when he had to find it, and he didn't know where to ask, so he began to wander around the city.

Licheng is very large, walking for half a day to bite the gold is a little tired, saw a tea shed on the side of the road, so I went in to ask for a bowl of tea to quench my thirst. As he was drinking, there was a commotion in the street, and the sound of gongs was heard, mixed with the cheers of the people. Cheng Yanjin didn't know what was going on, so he paid for the tea and followed to see the excitement.

The crowd went forward until it came to a square before stopping, and he squeezed forward to the middle of the crowd, only then did he see a large ring in the middle of the square.

There are two apricot yellow flags on the left and right, on which are written "gather the world's heroes" and "show Peimen's style", and a long shed is set up behind the ring, in which seven or eight officials are sitting, and they are pointing and pointing there.

Cheng Yanjin didn't know what was going on, so he asked the person next to him. The man looked at Cheng Yanjin and said with a smile: "Even like you, you want to go up to compete, I think it's better to go back, don't you know that Miss Pei has won for eight days, today is the last day, you, it's enough!" ”

Cheng Biting Jin originally asked what was going on, but he was counted down for no reason, and he was angry in his heart, so he said: "What's wrong with me, didn't I just win for eight days?" He can't win if I go up. ”

"Look at your five big and three thick, your mouth is quite capable of blowing, don't just say it if you have the ability, go up and try it, and you're not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue!" That person is also a powerful mouth, and Cheng Biting Jin can't reply to what he said, and in a fit of anger, Cheng Biting Jin shouted: "If you go up, I'm afraid he won't succeed." ”

When the man heard this, he shouted: "Big guy, look, this person said that he was going to challenge Miss Pei, let's make way for him!" With his shout, people looked back and naturally gave Cheng Yanjin a way to the ring.

Cheng Biting Jin is actually raising the bar with that person, who knows that person is really more serious, seeing that there is no one in front of him, his face is red, and he is embarrassed to go, and he said in his heart: "Anyway, it's just a fight, maybe I can win something and go back." Then he hugged his fists and smiled at everyone: "I called Cheng Biting Jin, that is, go up and have a look, thank you for cheering!" With that, he walked towards the ring.

Everyone began to applaud and coax, and a few people in the long shed were talking, but they saw a commotion among the people, a big man came out of the crowd and walked to the ring, and a civil official smiled and said: "Brother Pei, what do you think of this person?" ”

The generals beside him stood up and looked at Cheng Yanjin and said: "The shoulders are big and the waist is round, and the looks are sturdy, but I don't know how hard the work is, let's see it later." ”

The civil official smiled, and as soon as he waved his hand, a soldier came over and rang the gong, shouting: "The third competition on the ninth day starts now, and Miss Pei is invited to appear!" ”

The people blew up the pot with a coax, and the applause whistled ngng, which frightened Cheng Biting Jin, and said in his heart: "It seems that this person who came out is a master, be careful for a while, and beg for mercy if you can't do it." ”

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, a woman stepped out of the back of the stage. Dressed in a short placket, dressed in purple, with a cloth bag around his waist, a cloth towel on his head, leather boots on his feet, and a pair of Emei thorns in his hands, he came with an indescribable heroic spirit.

Cheng Biting Jin is stupid, how can he compete with such a weaker woman, even if he wins, it will be disgraceful. Before anyone else came up, Cheng Yanjin smiled and said: "The girl doesn't have to come up, I just admit defeat, I didn't expect it to be a competition with a woman like you, forget it, I will lose!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to step down.

The audience below booed, and the one who was with Cheng Bingjin just now shouted loudly: "Shame! I was scared away before I even hit! Cheng Yanjin looked in that direction and glared and said, "I'm afraid of hurting him, if you call him again, I'll try it with you, his grandmother's grandmother." ”

"Stop!" There was a coquettish cry behind him, Cheng Biting Jin looked back, the woman looked at him with an angry face, and said angrily: "Look at your five big and three coarse, I thought you were a hero, but I didn't expect that you were the same as those ordinary people, why, do you look down on your aunt?" I'll show you how good I am today! ”

Cheng Biting Jin snorted and laughed, turned around and said, "This ...... Auntie, don't be scared of me, I haven't had a father since I was a child, and I really don't know that I have an aunt. ”

"Coaxing", the audience laughed, and the one who raised the bar shouted at first: "Cheng Biting Jin, you are brave enough, see how you are cleaned up in a while!" ”

The woman's face was flushed, she was teased like this by Cheng Yanjin, how could she swallow this breath, and quickly stepped forward and said: "If you are a man, fight with me, or go down, so many people are watching, I want to see how you girl get off the stage." ”

Women's words are also damaged, and in this era, it is an extreme insult for men to be said to be women. Cheng Yanjin immediately got angry, pointed at the woman and said: "I feel sorry for you, I'm afraid of hurting you, why are you so ignorant, then I'll fulfill you." With that, he turned back to the center of the ring.

The woman's face turned red and said, "That wants you to feel distressed, don't talk nonsense, what weapon do you use, hurry up!" ”

Cheng Yanjin didn't bring a weapon when he came out, and at this time, he looked at the Emei thorn in the woman's hand, thought about it and said, "I use a long axe, do you have it?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the soldiers in the audience went to the weapon rack behind him and took one to him. Cheng Biting Jin took it in his hand, almost falling down, and everyone laughed again. The woman didn't hold back, and smiled.

Cheng Yanjin could only say curtly: "I use a lot heavier than this, it's too light, it's not suitable!" So saying, he threw it back to the soldier, and the soldier had to go and change it for him.

After changing back and forth seven or eight times, Cheng Biting Jin kept saying that it was light, and the soldiers were impatient, saying that this was the heaviest, and there was no more. Cheng Yanjin threw it casually with an axe, it was really light, there was no way, so he had to look at the woman and said: "Forget it, that's it, you don't have to work hard to win." ”

"No way!" The woman said angrily: "You look down on me, I must satisfy you." After saying that, he turned around and walked down the stage towards the long shed, and talked to the general in the shed for a while, and saw a few soldiers go to the back, and the woman went back to the stage and waited.

After a while, several soldiers went and returned, carrying a large axe of dark gold to the front of the stage. The woman smiled: "I want to see if you can pick up this purple gold mountain axe?" ”

Cheng Yanjin looked at the fight between this axe and his gossip Xuanhua axe, smiled, walked to the side of the stage, grabbed it with one hand, and shouted: "Get up." The purple gold mountain axe was firmly held in his hand.

Cheng Yanjin still wanted to sigh, threw the axe into the air again, turned around and stretched out his feet and waited there. The woman and everyone in the audience exclaimed. This Zijin Mountain Axe weighs one hundred and eighty pounds, not to mention the feet, and the hands are not easy to control.

Several people in the long shed also stood up and watched with bated breath. I saw that when Cheng Biting Jin was about to fall the axe, he took the axe and turned around in place twice with a slight touch of his instep before stopping, the axe seemed to grow on his feet, and Wen Si did not move.

Cheng Biting Jin was proud, the tricks he learned from the Crazy Demon Axe Method were all strange, and today's trick was like this, which made him win a lot of applause. The civil official in the long shed smiled: "Brother Pei, I think this person has a play!" The general smiled: "My daughter, I really don't know what she will think, forget it, let her be." After saying that, a few people sat down to watch the competition in the ring.

The woman was also stunned, and said in her heart: This man doesn't look annoying, he wanted to step down at the beginning, which means that he can't do anything to the woman, but later he was provoked and came back again, which shows that he is still self-motivated, understands the importance of face, and now shows that martial arts are not weak, not bad!

In this short period of effort, Cheng Yanjin's impression in the woman's heart has changed greatly, but he himself doesn't know it.

The woman smiled: "Okay, even if you have the ability, don't talk nonsense, let's talk about it!" ”

After the woman finished speaking, she didn't wait for Cheng Yanjin's reaction, her hands touched Emei, and stabbed him in the stomach. Cheng Biting Jin was startled, and his heart was really playing, so he hurriedly blocked the axe in front of him, and when there was a bang, Cheng Biting Jin who was shocked almost didn't hold the axe, thinking: "Mom, such a delicate woman, where did she come from so strong!" "Don't dare to be careless, hurry up and regain your spirits to face the battle.

At first, it was all women attacking, and he was defending. After more than a dozen rounds, the woman stood there and said, "You still look down on me, why don't you attack?" ”

Cheng Yanjin cried and said with a sad face: "Girl, can you do something reasonable?" You beat me, and you said that I don't attack, how can I have time to attack, you are fighting too fast. ”

The woman laughed in her heart, but said on her lips: "No, you will beat me, hurry up, I will defend!" ”

Cheng Yanjin is depressed, what kind of martial arts competition is this, it's just a child fighting. Seeing that the woman was about to get angry again, he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, can't I fight?" You're ready to pick it up! As he spoke, he raised the axe high and said, "The first move is coming, cut off the head!" ”

"Woo", with the sound of the wind, the axe slashed towards the girl's head.

"Be careful!" The general in the long shed stood up, and he could see that Cheng Biting Jin's axe was full of strength.

The woman was not ambiguous, the Emei thorn crossed, raised it above her head, and the horse stepped under her feet, waiting to fall.

Who knew that the axe had just touched the Emei thorn, and it didn't move, Cheng Biting Jin laughed and said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to catch it, so let's hit it here!" With that, he put the axe back away.

The general let out a long breath and nodded slightly, knowing that it was Cheng Biting Jin who let the woman.

The woman stopped doing it again, and was about to open her mouth to speak, when the general shouted from behind: "Cuiyun, it's good to get to the point, tell this hero to come down." ”
