Chapter 22 Yan Qing makes a move
It was noon, and before I knew it, most of the hours had passed.
The bow in the round wall city is in full swing. No one thought that a group of young students would play such a wonderful scene. Mai Zizhong's bow team was very famous in Chang'an, and he can be regarded as the best among his peers.
But in today's bow battle, it was unexpectedly a temporarily formed bow team, and it was hit twice in a row.
If it is said that the first two bows were obtained by Zheng Yanqing's successful use of the radical method. But after Mai Zizhong calmed down, the situation did not change much. This has to be said that Zheng Yanqing's successful strategy is a side.
Long before the Ju War, Zheng Yanqing and others created an illusion, that is, this Ju team was centered on Yanqing.
So when Mai Zizhong calmed down, he instinctively regarded Zheng Yanqing as a great enemy.
Not only was Mai Zizhong restrained by Zheng Yanqing, but even the other two generals in the Ju team were also attracted by Zheng Yanqing.
In this way, Pei Xingyan and others have an advantage in numbers.
Mai Zizhong won three bows in a row and achieved outstanding results. However, Pei Xingyan and others relied on their personal skills to hit the four bows.
When Mai Zizhong reacted, instead of overtaking, he fell behind again.
"You, just stare Zheng Yanqing to death for me and cut off his contact with other people. Whatever he does, you just have to follow him. ”
Mai Zizhong grabbed a general and commanded through gritted teeth.
He finally understood that Zheng Yanqing turned out to be a paper tiger, and it seemed that in addition to the accuracy of the bow, other techniques were not up to the mark at all. Sending someone to stare at him to death, Zheng Yanqing is basically useless. As for others, the cooperation is not as good as his own Ju team after all, as long as he can stabilize his position and no longer make mistakes, he will win sooner or later!
Sure enough, when Mai Zizhong ignored Zheng Yanqing and joined his own camp, Pei Xingyan and the others lost their numerical advantage. Bow is not only about individual skills, but also about teamwork.
Even if Pei Xingyan's strength was greater than that of Mai Zizhong, in the face of Mai Zizhong's teamwork, he soon fell into a situation of fighting alone. In the next competition, they hit two more bows. But Mai Zizhong's side pulled back the six bows, thus overtaking the ...... Yang Guang was triumphant, "What, I said that the Zheng family's little Langjun can't fight Mai Zizhong." ”
Empress Xiao also put away her smile at this time, pouted and said, "This little Langjun doesn't seem to know how to bow...... Although the others are all capable of fighting, they can't match the tacit understanding of Mai Zizhong. Your Majesty, it seems that this time, the concubine is losing. ”
"Hahaha!"
Yang Guang couldn't help laughing.
And the magnates watching the battle on both sides were smiling, while others were frowning.
"Zheng Yanqing, they were divided by Mai Zizhong...... Brother Shu Dexian, his skills don't seem to be outstanding, and the others can't cooperate, if he goes on like this, he will be defeated by Mai Zizhong sooner or later. Changsun Sheng said a little gloomily.
On the contrary, Dou Wei looked relaxed, "Yan Qing didn't know how to bow before, if it wasn't for the old man Yu's own assertion, how could he agree to Mai Zizhong?" But this kid is not bad, in just fifty days, he has never been able to practice bowing to this point, and he has forced Mai Zizhong and them to be so embarrassed...... Ha, if you want me to say, even if Yanqing loses, even if he loses, he is still glorious. ”
Li Yuan and Changsun Sheng glanced at each other, and suddenly said, "Yu Lao Zhuguo, you are really childlike." ”
"Since he's so lively, then I won't let him win comfortably."
Changsun Sheng coughed lightly twice, put Changsun Wujian aside, and stood up.
"Daddy, where are you going?" The eldest grandson pulled at the placket of his shirt and asked curiously.
"I'm going to talk to your Uncle Yu...... Guanyin, be good at accompanying your mother here. Shude, let's go together. ”
Li Yuan smiled: "It's exactly what I want." ”
The two of them walked along the city wall and soon came to the position of Yujuluo.
"Yu Lao Zhu Guo."
Seeing Mai Zizhong winning, Yu Juluo was smiling happily. Hearing someone call him, he looked back and quickly stood up.
"Ji Sheng, Shude, why are you here?"
"Hmph...... We're here to settle accounts with you! As he spoke, Changsun Sheng sat down. Yu Juluo hurriedly asked his son to serve wine, and invited Li Yuan to sit down with him, and then asked curiously: "Ji Sheng, what kind of account are you looking for me?" ”
Changsun Sheng was just about to speak, when suddenly there was an exclamation from all around.
It turned out that in the round wall city field, Zheng Yanqing suddenly urged the horse to rush up. At the same time, Pei Xingyan, who was in his own backcourt, finally grabbed the wooden bow, and when he saw Zheng Yanqing rushing up, he hurriedly swung his staff to hit the bow and swept the wooden bow towards Zheng Yanqing.
The fist-sized wooden bow flies in the air at a very fast speed.
Pei Xingyan's pass is similar to the backcourt pass in a football game, extremely accurate, looking for Zheng Yanqing.
Zheng Yanqing, on the other hand, kept urging the horse to speed up and rushed towards Muju.
At this time, Mai Zizhong and the others were all huddled together, and seeing that the situation was not good, they hurriedly shouted loudly: "Stop him, stop him!" ”
Seeing Zheng Yanqing's speed, the family general was in a hurry.
Suddenly, his feet hung in the stirrups, and he stood up, and the black lacquer cane slashed viciously at the back of Zheng Yanqing's head. If this is hit, Zheng Yanqing can't guarantee that his brain will burst. So much so that the women watching the battle in the surrounding cities let out a series of exclamations.
The woman standing under the Pei family's big guard was even more nervous.
"Zheng Yanqing, be careful behind."
Yan Qing also knew that the family behind him would poison him, but he had no intention of stopping. His feet hooked to the stirrups, and he also roared and stood up on the horse. With the ups and downs of the war horse, it is like one. At the same time, he twisted and twisted, and swept with a backhand cane.
I only heard a bang, and the two bow sticks, one red and one black, struck each other, and the bow stick in the hand of the family general broke in response.
"Kill him!"
Mai Zizhong roared angrily, and the general on the horse threw off the broken cane and threw himself out. After Zheng Yanqing broke the opponent's cane, he turned around. The moment the master pounced, one foot threw off the stirrup, and his body left the saddle, and from a distance, it looked as if it was about to fly off the horse, and at the same time the bow staff struck the wooden bow empty.
You must know that one of Zheng Yanqing's feet is still hanging in the stirrups.
If you fall down, you will be dragged to death by a war horse if you don't get it right. It seems that such things are not uncommon in Ju wars.
Changsun Sheng and the others all held the battlements in their hands and leaned out to look out.
At the head of the Xuanwu Gate City, Empress Yang Guangxiao also stood up and watched nervously at the changes under the city.
In an instant, after Zheng Yanqing hit Mu Ju, he also threw off his cane, slapped it on the ground with one hand, and rubbed his palm against the rough ground, and suddenly became a blur of flesh and blood. That is, with this ingenuity, Yan Qing's body suddenly rose upward, twisting and turning. Jade Hoof Jun also sensed that something was wrong, and made a sudden stop, slamming his body horizontally. The two forces twisted together, and one of Yan Qing's arms hugged the horse's neck unkemptly, and he twisted to sit down again.
A series of exclamations rang out from the city, followed by cheers.
After Yan Qing sat firmly, his hands were hot and painful. Looking down, this palm is bloody, and it looks very scary.
"Hit, hit......"
The eldest grandson's immature and crisp voice came, and it turned out that Zheng Yanqing's staff just now hit Mu Ju into the goal of Mai Zizhong's side.
Zheng Yanqing gasped, but a bright smile appeared on his face.
Mai Zizhong reined in his war horse and looked at Zheng Yanqing in a daze. Suddenly, he put his cane across the saddle and clapped his hands towards Zheng Yanqing.
Even if it is a rival in love, for this beautiful bow, Mai Zizhong must applaud from the bottom of his heart.
He suddenly urged him to step forward and pointed with his hand, "Zheng Yanqing, no matter who wins or loses today, I have to say that you are a good man." ”
Zheng Yanqing did not provoke, but bowed slightly on the horse and pressed the injured void to his chest as a return salute.
At this time, there is no need to provoke!
When Yanqing used such etiquette, there were bursts of exclamations from the city.
Yang Guang couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, "Zitong, this little Langjun really has a lot of tricks, and even the etiquette of the Turks is used." ”
Empress Xiao pursed her lips and laughed non-stop, "How old is this little Langjun, and he is so weird." When I grow up in the future, I don't know how many girls will be obsessed. ”
The Sixteenth Lady couldn't help but laugh too...... However, although the score was tied, Zheng Yanqing's side was facing a huge crisis.
Yan Qing's one hand can no longer hold the cane, and it is difficult to use it if he continues to stay on the field. In this bow battle, Yan Qing won two bows. Now that it is a 9-9 draw, at this critical time, he can't continue!
"Brother Xian, can you still hold on?"
Xue Shui urged the horse over, looked at Yan Qing's fleshy and fleshy hands, and couldn't help frowning.
The bow must be done with both hands, one hand is responsible for controlling the gallop of the warhorse, and the other hand is holding the bowing staff. The bow staff can shoot the bow left and right, but it must have one hand to control the horse. Looking at the injury on Yan Qing's hand, I am afraid that it will be difficult to persevere.
Zheng Yanqing bared his teeth in pain, not to mention holding the cane, and now he felt pain even when he stretched out his palm.
"Young Master Zheng, why don't I go up for you?"
Dou Xiaowen, who had been silently watching the battle next to him, suddenly spoke.
"You?"
Xue Wanche's face was cold, "Although Yan Qing's skills are not good, at least he is accurate in his bowing, and his riding skills are exquisite." You don't know how to bow, and you're just getting started with riding, so what's the use of it? Don't get out of the way yet. ”
Dou Xiaowen's face flushed, and he lowered his head and was cowardly silent.
In the schoolhouse, he can be king and hegemon. But what is this place? It is the city of the round wall, where the imperial city is located...... The people here pull out a random one, and killing him is as easy as pinching an ant to death. If it weren't for Zheng Yanqing accepting him, it is estimated that Xue Wanche would not even say a word to him. And Xue Wanche made a mistake? That's uncomfortable.
"Old Dou, help me down first!"
Zheng Yanqing withdrew from the field at this time, and got off the war horse with the support of Dou Xiaowen.
Jade Hoof also knew that her master was injured, so she put her huge head on Zheng Yanqing's body, with a pair of misty eyes, revealing care. If this beast is psychic, it is stronger than a man. I think that at the beginning, when it was a foal, it was bitten on the ear by Yanqing, and since then it has become Yanqing's partner. This...... Maybe it's a kind of so-called fate.
"Mother, can't the little brother fight?"
The eldest grandson Wujian pulled Mrs. Gao's shirt and asked with concern.
Yanqing's action just now made Mrs. Gao also startled. So much so that until now, his face is still a little pale.
"It looks like so, the little brother is injured."
"That little brother...... Does it hurt? ”
Mrs. Gao forced a smile to herself, hugged her eldest grandson Wujian and said, "It doesn't hurt, don't you think the little brother is good?" Guanyin is not sad. ”
At this time, Zheng Yanqing pulled Xue Wanche, Pei Xingyan and others to the side and whispered a few words.
Then he called Dou Xiaowen over and bit his ear for a while. Dou Xiaowen's black face suddenly showed excitement.
Although Xue Wanche, Pei Xingyan and the others were a little reluctant, they still nodded.
Yan Qing turned around and stepped forward and said to Mai Zizhong: "The last bow, change people." ”
"Hehe, it's the same whether you change people or not, Zheng Yanqing...... You're doomed! ”
Zheng Yanqing smiled, "Little general, no one knows if you win or lose until the last moment!" Let's wait and see! ”
As he spoke, he called Dou Xiaowen over and patted him on the shoulder.
"Yuanqing, protect Lao Dou!"
Who is this guy?
Mai Zizhong really didn't know Dou Xiaowen, and when he heard Zheng Yanqing's confident tone, he couldn't help but feel bald in his heart.
Master? Odd Soldiers?
It's not just Mai Zizhong who is muttering, but even all the people watching the battle are confused.
Yu Juluo was pulled over by the eldest grandson Sheng and Li Yuan and came to Dou Wei's side.
"Old Dou, what is the origin of this black-faced?"
Dou Wei was also surprised, he knew that Dou Xiaowen had joined the Ju team, but he didn't know much about Dou Xiaowen.
However, when Yu Juluo asked, Dou Wei still made a mysterious expression.
"That's my grandson."
"Oh......"
Yukura nodded. At this time, Dou Xiaowen had already turned over and entered the arena surrounded by Pei Xingyan and others.
A little panicked in his heart, Yu Juluo looked left and right.
He bet on a year's worth of money, betting on Mai Zizhong's victory...... It's all up to this, if this Dou Xiaowen is a strange soldier in Zheng Yanqing's hands, things will be in trouble.
Scratching his gray hair, Yujuluo suddenly rushed to the edge of the city wall, and roared: "Wheat, stare at that guy...... He is a member of the old Dou family......"
Changsun Sheng and Li Yuan, and even Pei Renji, who was about to come over to inquire about the news, rushed forward almost at the same time.
Li Yuan covered Yujuluo's mouth from behind, Changsun Sheng hugged Yujuluo's body, Pei Renji hugged his legs, and the three of them worked together to drag Yujuluo from the city to the side. This scene was also seen by Yang Guang, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Did the old fish bet?"
"Long live Qiyu, Yu Lao Zhuguo has bet on a year's fortune and bet on Mai Gongzi to win the championship."
Empress Xiao covered her mouth and chuckled, "No wonder, if Yu Laozhuguo loses, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the coming year." ”
"This old guy ......"
Yang Guang's eyes were rolling slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
And in the round wall city, Mai Zizhong chuckled in his heart.
Yu Lao Zhuguo, is this a reminder to me, this guy is a master?
By mistake, Mai Zizhong muttered more and more in his heart.
"For a while, I'll stare at that guy, you show me the dead Pei Xingyan them...... They must not be allowed to bow again. ”
The generals responded in unison, and they scattered.
Yan Qing also heard Yu Juluo's shout, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at the city, a sly smile flashed in his eyes.
Yu Lao Zhuguo, you are really cooperative...... The battle began again, and the two sides fought together. Be careful, but at the same time always ready, to deliver a fatal blow.
All the tricks were used.
From the very beginning, the situation of the war became extremely fierce. Pei Xingyan's robe was torn to pieces, and Xue Wanche, Xu Shiji, Shen Guang and others were also scarred. Even Xue Shui, who has always paid attention to appearance, has become disgraced at this moment.
There's definitely something wrong with Mak Zi Chung...... This master doesn't seem to have any performance. Obviously, there is a great opportunity, but Pei Xingyan and the others do not bow over. And Dou Xiaowen didn't seem to be in a hurry, just urging the horse to gallop around the battle circle, as if he was a bystander.
What's going on?
Just when Mai Zizhong hesitated, not knowing whether to get rid of Dou Xiaowen or continue to stare at Dou Xiaowen, Pei Xingyan snatched the wooden bow from under the general's cane, struck out with a cane, and flew towards Dou Xiaowen.
Sure enough, they are masters, Pei Xingyan is looking for an opportunity!
Thinking of this, Mai Zizhong secretly rejoiced, and hurriedly urged the horse to rush over.
He wants to get ahead of Dou Xiaowen and take back control. Who knows, Dou Xiaowen didn't pay attention to the landing point of the wooden bow at all, and stopped directly in front of Mai Zizhong. At the same time, Xu Shiji urged the horse out from the backfield and snatched Mu Ju...... "Stop that guy!" ”
With Mai Zizhong shouting, a family general pounced on Xu Shiji.
Xu Shiji didn't look at it, picked up Mu Ju, and knocked it at Xue Wanche...... At this time, Pei Xingyan had a gap on his side. Mai Zizhong saw that the situation was not good, and was ready to give up Dou Xiaowen to stop Pei Xingyan. At this time, Zheng Yanqing shouted from the audience, "Third Brother Xue, pass the bow to Lao Dou......"
Xue Wanche did not hesitate and swung his staff to bow.
Mai Zizhong hurriedly changed his mind again, and turned his horse to Dou Xiaowen.
But Dou Xiaowen still didn't pay attention to Mu Ju, but rushed towards Mai Zizhong. From beginning to end, Shen Guang, who had not yet been hit by a bow, didn't know where he came from, and turned sideways with a cane to knock the wooden bow horizontally. This big transfer is falling in front of Pei Xingyan.
Mai Zizhong yelled badly!
These little white faces are too cunning...... This Dou Xiaowen didn't know how to bow at all, but it attracted everyone's attention. At this time, Pei Xingyan had no one to take care of him at all, as long as he grabbed Muju, there would be a flat river in front of him.
Mai Zizhong was so angry that he screamed, and he didn't care about cursing Zheng Yanqing for being cunning, and urged the horse to pounce on Pei Xingyan.
As for Dou Xiaowen, what should he do, Lao Tzu doesn't care about him.
Pei Xingyan's fire dragon horse, the black horse under Mai Zizhong's crotch. One red and one black, like two bolts of lightning, pounced on the wooden bow that fell to the ground. Regarding Mai Zizhong's aggressiveness, Pei Xingyan ignored it at all. Mai Zizhong saw that he was about to grab Mu Ju first, but at this moment, he heard someone shouting loudly: "Young Master Sun, be careful......"
Mai Zizhong turned his head to look, only to see Dou Xiaowen urging his crotch to get off the horse, holding the horse's neck with both hands, and rushed over.
Mai Zizhong wanted to dodge again, but it was too late!
I only heard a bang, followed by the neighing of Xi Yuyu's war horse. The black horse under Mai Zizhong's crotch was knocked to the ground by Dou Xiaowen's war horse. Mai Zizhong was crushed under the horse with one leg, and Dou Xiaowen's mount seemed to be running wildly...... It turned out that just now, Dou Xiaowen smashed his mount's buttocks with a cane.
This horse, crazy!
Mai Zizhong fell to the ground, Pei Xingyan rushed over easily, and sent Mu Ju into the goal with a cane.
"You guys, fool ......"
When Dou Xiaowen restrained his mount and got off the horse with a pale face, Mai Zizhong was also pulled out from under the horse.
He rushed over, grabbed Dou Xiaowen's shirt, and roared.
"Fatty, the saying that soldiers don't get tired of deceit, haven't you heard of it?"
In the cheers of the audience, Xue Wanche rushed forward, separated Mai Zizhong and Dou Xiaowen, and said with a hippie smile: "You lost today, you lost because you are too stupid and stupid!" I can't even understand such a simple strategy, and I dare to bow down? ”
Mai Zizhong's face was ......
