Chapter 612: Victory is not martial
To the east of the palace was a small school field, where many bonfires were lit, and the young men and women who had come with the leaders of the various tribes were gathered. Every gathering of the Qiang tribes is a major event for the leaders to establish their status in the clan, and for these young men and women, it is a good opportunity to talk about love. Yang Fu had lived in Liangzhou for a long time, but he also knew these customs of the Qiang people, so he sorted out the small school field and gave these young men and women a suitable place.
While these young men and women were singing and dancing, there was a sudden commotion on the edge of the school yard, and the leaders of the various tribes actually came over together, which had never happened in a previous meeting.
Soon, everyone understood what was happening, their hero Ke Muji was standing side by side with a tall Han man, and a hundred paces away from them, two arrow targets were set up, and the scene suddenly boiled.
Ke Muji took off the bow on his back, concentrated, and with a "whoosh" arrow, he went straight to the target. Soon, the sergeant guarding the target in the distance waved the red flag in his hand, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye. Ke Muji turned around proudly and looked at Liu Xin proudly, and the Qiang men and women on the school field let out a thunderous cheer.
The two aunts and nephews of Beigong Yan and Beigong Qian were also taken to the school field by the guards at this time, and they were hiding in the crowd holding hands. Beigong Yan couldn't help but light up when she saw her lover's excellent performance. She didn't know that the bet on today's competition was her, otherwise she would have jumped with excitement when she saw her lover win.
Don't look at just shooting at an arrow target a hundred steps away, in fact, it is not easier than piercing Yang in a hundred steps. Because it was night, the light from the campfire was even more flickering, and many people couldn't even see the bullseye a hundred steps away, let alone be able to hit it with one arrow.
Liu Xin also took a bow from Dian Wei's hand, pretended to aim in the direction of the arrow target, put the feather arrow on it, suddenly put it down again, and said lightly: "Liu is not good at bows and arrows, I lost this game." ”
Admitting defeat without a competition is a very shameful act in the eyes of the Qiang people, but Liu Xin ignored the disdainful gazes of everyone around him and quietly handed the bow and arrow back to Dian Wei. At the same time, Liu Xin's foot seemed to hook up a small pebble at random and kicked it lightly. Under the hazy moonlight, the stone drew a beautiful arc and headed straight for the target. The sergeant guarding the target waved the red flag again, and the stone kicked out by Liu Xin actually hit the bull's-eye!
The surroundings are silent, and this difficulty can be much more difficult than the bow and arrow. Some people didn't believe it, so they rushed over to take a look, and they were suddenly so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths. Because the stone kicked out by Liu Xin not only hit the bull's eye, but also passed through the bull's-eye, and was deeply embedded in a big tree more than ten steps behind the arrow target, which shows the great strength of this kick, which is amazing. This time it was Beigong Qian's turn to be full of fiery face, although Liu Xin did not let her sleep, but he always took her with him, and often asked her with concern if she was used to eating and living. Isn't that obvious? It's just a matter of time. Being able to follow such a hero, Beigong Qian was satisfied.
Ke Muji was also shocked by Liu Xin's kick. On the battlefield, this is a much more powerful move than a bow and arrow, which takes time to draw a bow and arrow, and a random kick can be done almost without any preparation. What's more, in these places in Liangzhou, stones can be seen everywhere, and it is impossible to use them up at all, if the two meet on the battlefield, he will definitely lose.
Liu Xin did not come to fight for the victory of this competition because the stone he kicked was in the bull's-eye, but turned to Beigong Boyu and Ke Muzhi and said: "This game was originally a bow and arrow, but Liu used a stone, and it stands to reason that Liu should be sentenced to defeat, I don't know what the two patriarchs think?" ”
The rules of who loses and who holds the beauty are set by Liu Xin and the leaders of the various departments in the hall, and everyone is very interested in "looking forward to" Liu Xin losing this competition, of course, no one will tell Ke Muji, in order to let Ke Mu Ji do his best. Now that this situation has emerged, it can be judged to be a draw, or it can be judged that any of them can win, and it is estimated that no one present will have an opinion, after all, Liu Xin's kick is too shocking.
Ke Muzhi was annoyed at this time that his son dared to compete with Liu Xin for a woman, and he was still fighting for a woman from the Beigong family, wishing that Liu Xin would lose the competition quickly, so he could go back and teach this boy who didn't know the height of the sky, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Liu is high-spirited, I admire it, even if Lord Liu loses this scene." ”
Ke Muji's heart was relieved, it seemed that his father was still on his side.
But I heard Beigong Boyu also arch his hand and said: "Lord Liu is reasonable, since it is a bow and arrow, and the adult does not use a bow and arrow, of course the adult loses this scene." ”
Ke Muji couldn't help but feel that his brain was not enough, what was the matter today, even Beigong Boyu helped him speak. You must know that the Beigong family and their Ke family are feuding, otherwise he and Beigong Yan would have been in love with each other and would have come together a long time ago, so why should they sneak around until today.
Suddenly, Ke Muji had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he understood that Beigong Boyu was focusing on the overall situation, and he couldn't fall into the prestige of the Qiang family in front of the Han people. Thinking of this, Ke Muji couldn't help but feel refreshed, it seems that today can not only hug the beauty, but also be accepted by this "old man", he is already a little impatient, hurriedly arched his hand, and said: "Since this is the case, let's start the next one!" ”
Liu Xin smiled and raised his hand to make an invitation. Kemuki didn't answer, and pounced like a hungry tiger.
Wrestling in this era is somewhat similar to wrestling in later generations, where the one who knocks the opponent to the ground first wins, but the movements are freer and more brutal. Although Ke Muji is not as tall as Liu Xin, he is far thicker than Liu Xin, and tall people are not advantageous in wrestling matches, and they are a little shorter, so they are more stable in the next game.
Qiang men often wrestle games, and Ke Muji is not only the best among them, but also a winning general, everyone is optimistic that Ke Muji will win, as long as he wins this one, he is the ultimate winner, and the third stone moving competition will not have to be compared.
Ke Muji is a real master of wrestling, don't look at his stout body, but his movements are vigorous, and his strength is infinite, fluttering, cutting, holding, and wrestling these actions have long been practiced, alternating hands and feet freely, sometimes rigid and soft, sometimes urgent and sometimes slow, as long as Liu Xin is entangled by him, he will have the confidence to put Liu Xin down within a round.
Seeing Liu Xin dodging and retreating again and again under the persecution of Ke Muji, Beigong Yan couldn't help but shout loudly. Of course, there was a lot of cheering around her, and no one would notice her voice.
In fact, the audience only saw the superficial phenomenon, and Kemuki was complaining at this time on the field. He has tried his best, but he can't even touch the corners of Liu Xin's clothes, and every time Liu Xin can dodge his inevitable move.
Since Meng Jie's death, Liu Xin has never encountered an opponent in terms of punches and feet. Although wrestling is not the same as pure fist and foot kung fu, the principle is the same. In addition to Ke Muji's brute strength, real kung fu is not even second- or third-rate in Liu Xin's eyes. The reason why Liu Xin has been dodging and moving here instead of taking the initiative is just to see what is unique about the wrestling of the Qiang people.
Feeling that he had almost mastered Ke Muji's moves, Liu Xin deliberately sold a flaw, and the door in front of his chest was wide open. Ke Muji really hit the plan, his body was vertical, and his fingers were like claws, and he grabbed Liu Xin's chest. If this blow makes him grasp it, he is confident that he will throw Liu Xin out of his back like a sack.
Suddenly, Ke Muji only felt that his eyes were empty, and he had already lost Liu Xin's figure, and he was surprised when he felt that someone behind him was gently pushing. Ke Muji used all his strength to grab this just now, and his body couldn't be contained, and then he was pushed from behind, and suddenly he rushed forward, couldn't stop his feet, and crashed into the crowd, knocking over five or six of the audience. This one he had clearly lost.
The Qiang men and women who were even cheering just now were silent, only Beigong Qian excitedly shouted "yes", which seemed very abrupt. Beigong Boyu and Ke Muzhi, who were temporarily arrested as referees, glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to immediately decide that Liu Xin had won, but looked at Liu Xin with an inquiring gaze.
I only heard Liu Xin laugh and said: "Ke Muji, can you lose convincingly?" ”
Without waiting for his son to answer, Ke Muzhi preemptively said: "Lord Liu is really extraordinary, where is the dog your opponent." Hehe, hehe......"
Hearing Ke Muzhi's dry laughter, Beigong Boyu also came back to his senses, and even said yes. He understood that Liu Xin, after all, was a high-ranking official of the Han Dynasty, and he was likely to be the future emperor of the Han Dynasty, and if he lost two games in a row, he would not be able to get down this face. It seems that he underestimated Liu Xin in the hall just now, with Liu Xin's ability, these two competitions could have been won safely, but he deliberately made a situation of one win and one loss, and then lost the third game, not only to hold the beauty, but also to take care of the face of the Qiang people, this is the real master!
I thought I would win the game, but I actually lost, and I lost it cleanly and completely, and Ke Muji's face was a little unbearable. Ke Muji doesn't think that his wrestling level is inferior to Liu Xin, it's just that this person is too cunning, and he lost unjustly!
Although Ke Muji was not convinced, but with so many people around him watching, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "You have won this game, let's compete in the third game!" ”
Liu Xin glanced at Ke Muji, who was sweating profusely, and asked, "Do you want to take a break?" ”
To be honest, in the wrestling match just now, Liu Xin just showed flexible footwork and did not spend too much effort, on the contrary, Ke Muji was bent on winning in one fell swoop in the field he was best at, which can be described as the strength to eat milk. And in the next competition, I will know that when I hear the name, it must be a real hard work. Liu Xin didn't want to win.
