Chapter 24: Victory
was about to start, and Mrs. Li asked why the second lady didn't come. The second lady is Wang Ziyu's mother, who doesn't like words. It stands to reason that this time Wang Ziyu won, and the old man Wang Bo will immediately be crowned the head of the family, and the son is expensive by his mother, and the second lady will always show up.
The maid held her breath and said to Mrs. Li that the second lady didn't like the crowd and was afraid of panic, so she didn't come. also said a little to Mrs. Li, saying that Wang Ziyu was not sensible, and asked her sister Haihan.
It stands to reason that this Wang Ziyu can be said to be nine out of ten in this competition, why did the second lady say this, even if she was polite, she didn't need to say this, Mrs. Li also felt that although she was big, if this Wang Ziyu really became the heir of the family, maybe Mrs. Li would have to see the second lady's face in the future. Mrs. Li didn't understand, so she asked casually, where did the eldest lady go. The maid replied, the eldest lady is gossiping at the second lady.
I was asking here, Ma Chao had already led two horses, and the real battles after the Warring States period were on horses, with horses, and no one had any objections. Ma Chao said that the two horses were randomly selected, and they were almost the same in terms of physical strength and temperament. As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion below, and everyone saw it, Ma Chao had a horse specially for Wang Zitang, and he was still muttering endlessly with the horse just now.
Ma Chao said that for the sake of fairness, this horse let Wang Ziyu pick first. Wang Zitang interjected and said to Wang Ziyu that his brother is strong in martial arts, so it is better to give this horse to his younger brother. After Wang Zitang finished speaking, he pointed to the horse that Ma Chao had admonished.
Wang Ziyu grew up in the royal family, and lived in the army all the year round, so he is quite familiar with horses. He looked at it a few times, and it was difficult to tell whether the two horses were good or bad. But before the game, King Yu repeatedly told him to be careful of Ma Chao's ghostly eyes. This is a dispute between the head of the family, and Wang Ziyu doesn't want to give up the head of the family to Wang Zitang by mistake for the sake of his own face.
Wang Ziyu chose the horse that Ma Chao admonished.
Wang Zitang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ma Chao in a panic, obviously Wang Zitang had a plan for choosing this horse. However, Wang Zitang's panicked appearance suddenly told everyone that something unplanned had happened.
The old man Wang Bo frowned, the corner of his mouth smiled, and he invited the old man to drink tea.
Wang Wu was also very nervous below, and asked Ma Chao if there was a change in his plans, Ma Chao said that now is not the time to chat, and after speaking, he stared at the martial arts arena tightly.
Brothers have been fighting each other since ancient times.
Wang Ziyu and Wang Zi's cousins have already ridden horses to the martial arts arena, the venue is quite large, but as a horse battle is still a little small, the two can only rely on controlling the horses, rolling around on this small platform, in this case, they need superb equestrian skills. Wang Ziyu is a well-grounded person, he sat down on the horse and moved his steps, although he was stagnant, he had secretly controlled the momentum on the field.
Just this horse control technique, the people below who know how to applaud secretly several times. If it weren't for Mrs. Li's cold face, even the applause from the horse servant would have sounded.
On the other hand, Wang Zitang, ouch, get the horse, this is a lot of effort, tossing a sweat, so that the horse did not rush into the battle circle before the start of the race.
In the choice of weapons, Wang Ziyu chose the usual iron spear, and Wang Zitang chose a light short blade. It's good that this weapon can't be touched, but if it does, in a round, Wang Ziyu will knock the weapon away.
It's called an inch long and an inch strong.
The uncles in the audience were all talking about how beautiful Wang Ziyu should be this round.
A subordinate stood under the stage of the martial arts, carrying a big copper gong in his hand and holding a wooden stick tied with a red cloth, and knocked it vigorously, and the game began.
The two brothers loosened their reins almost at the same time, and their legs clamped the horse's belly and shouted loudly. Although the blue brick paving of the martial arts arena is wide, the distance between the two is only more than 20 zhang, that is, the distance is less than 70 meters.
This kind of distance, only by moving at full speed, can there be enough momentum to fill the people and horses. Wang Ziyu wants to win beautifully, so he has to do his best.
However, when the horse climbed hard, his feet slipped and he almost fell. On the horse's feet, it is necessary to inlay horseshoes to play an anti-slip role, just like when we run fast, wearing spiked shoes is a reason.
There was no horseshoe on the horse's feet, and this foot slipped and almost threw Wang Ziyu out.
Wang Wu really saw it below, so he asked Ma Chao with a smile: "You made this little trick." Ma Chao said very seriously, don't think that no horseshoe is a little trick. also said that there is a saying in his hometown that an iron nail is missing and a horseshoe is missing; lost a horseshoe, lost a warhorse; lost a war horse, lost a cavalryman; lost one cavalryman, lost a battle; Lost a battle, lost a battle; Losing a battle ruined a dynasty.
Finally, Ma Chao also emphasized that in fact, Ma Chao spent this month of hard work to do such a thing. Wang Wu opened his mouth wide and asked Ma Chao, do you think you can win Wang Ziyu in this way.
When the two were talking, Wang Zitang was already close to Wang Ziyu, the war horses were entangled, and Wang Ziyu's iron spear was a little awkward, but Wang Zitang's short blade was fully played, which is called one inch short and one inch dangerous. All this is because Wang Ziyu lost the opportunity.
Seeing the two fighting together, Ma Chao's expression was very serious, but not too heavy. Ma Chao answered Wang Wu's question, and Ma Chao said that Wang Zitang had promised him that he would not be beaten by Wang Ziyu. He also told Wang Wu that during this month, Wang Zitang only slept for three hours a day, rode a horse in the plum forest during the day, and looked for a dozen girls at night, not for fun, but those girls threw him with arrows.
Conversely, what is Wang Ziyu doing? Thinking that he had won, he began to set up relations with his uncles, afraid that the old man Wang Bo would regret it, thinking that after winning, he would use the power of the clan to suppress the old man.
Wang Wu was silent when he heard this......
The two brothers were still entangled on the stage, and the two war horses were huddled together in circles. Melee combat is too bad for the spear, because it is the weapon that is chosen only on the field, Wang Ziyu does not have a waist knife, the more the spear is used, the more awkward it becomes, and he is so angry that he screams and simply throws away the spear.
As soon as he threw away this spear, Wang Zitang immediately left, keeping a distance from Wang Ziyu.
Then he slapped the horse's buttocks vigorously and staggered with Wang Ziyu, half of Wang Ziyu's body was stained red with blood and fell off the warhorse.
Wang Ziyu's palm is powerful, but he is still flesh and blood, when the two are staggered, he wanted to slap off the steel knife in Wang Zitang's hand, but Wang Zitang deftly dodged it, directly injuring the soft abdomen.
There was an exclamation from the entire stand, and Ma Chao straightened up, his eyes blazing to meet the anger in King Zhen's eyes.
