Chapter 4 Betting Fights
Seeing Wei Jie and Li Rong coming, the crowd unconsciously moved out of the way. One is a son of the wealthy family in Guanzhong, and the other father is a member of the three grades of the dynasty, who dares to stand in the way.
"Domineering? Only powerful people have the qualifications to be vigorous, your tone is not small, you must think you are very strong! Wu Zaide said disdainfully.
"Isn't your Celestial Empire prideful to convince people with virtue, Wu Zaide, do you have virtue in you?" Li Kaigu sneered.
There was a lot of discussion in the surrounding crowd, and they laughed when they heard Li Kaigu's words.
Many of the onlookers were foreign students or chieftains of foreign nationalities, noble disciples, and Wu Zaide knocked everyone over with a stick, arousing strong dissatisfaction from everyone, and expressed support for Li Kaigu.
"I see that you are tall and big, but I didn't expect you to have sharp teeth and sharp mouths. Hmph, it's useless to talk about it, let's see the real Zhang under your hands! Wu Zaide said angrily.
"Yes, boy, don't just use your tongue and show your hands. If you are afraid, kowtow as soon as possible, go back to the outside of the plug, and don't be embarrassed here. Several young men who had always followed Wu Zaide and patted on the back echoed.
"Yes, just a barbarian who drinks blood, and wants to learn etiquette, it is simply a monkey and a crown, and there is no appearance." Another brocade-clad man said contemptuously.
"Who do you say is a barbarian?" There was a cold cry from the crowd, which shook the brocade-clothed man who spoke just now as if he had heard thunder, and his whole head turned into a muzzling sound.
"The great glory is the great glory of the Yan tribe." The crowd next to him whispered in private. Dazuorong is the son of the beggar Zhongxiang, the chief of the Tatar tribe, who admired the prosperity and culture of the Tang Dynasty since he was a child, and came to Chang'an to study. He was a bold and generous man, generous in his hands, and shrewd and capable, and he had a high prestige among his students, especially among foreign students.
"Look for death!" Li Kaigu, who couldn't hold back the anger in his heart for a long time, shouted violently, punched out, and brought up a heavy wind, and hit the man in brocade clothes who was disrespectful.
"Slap", Wu Zaide holds it horizontally with one palm. controlled Li Kaigu's fist, "A barbarian is a barbarian, do you have to do it if you don't agree with each other?" ”
"Hmph, Datang people have always been trustworthy, it's better for us to gamble and fight, if you lose, apologize in person, admit that you are not as good as me, and if you win, I will apologize to you as well." Li Kaigu said.
"Apologize, don't you think the bet is too light? If you lose, how about shouting three times in front of everyone that I'm a barbarian? Wu Zaide said.
"Okay, these barbarians can taste the power of my Datang characters, so that these pests who harass the border can be afraid." Someone in the surrounding crowd shouted.
"Yes, let's go back!" The agitated prisoners around shouted loudly. The struggle between the Middle Earth Dynasty and the various ethnic groups outside the Saiwai has never stopped, after thousands of years of fighting, blood stained the grass on the grassland, the bricks and tiles on the Great Wall, from the Xiongnu to Xianbei, from Rouran to the Turks, wave after wave of grassland peoples have stepped into the Central Plains one after another, and the Han people have continued to fight back, Li Mu defeated the Huns, the first emperor built the Great Wall, Emperor Wu's northern expedition to the desert to the Emperor Li Jing of this dynasty to pacify the Turks, captured the Turkic Khan Jieli, the first time in history to capture the nomadic Great Khan alive, shocked China and foreign countries, Because of this, Taizong was revered as "Heavenly Khan" by various ethnic groups outside the Saiwai.
Of course, what excites everyone is not the previous great achievements, but a while ago, the right prison guard Zhonglang fought against the Turkic bones and Yuanzhen, and the whole army was annihilated, and after the light horse of Baobi was killed by the queen of heaven, more than 13,000 people of the Tang army died in Mobei. When the news came, the students of the entire Guozijian were shocked, and naturally they had great opinions about the tribes outside the country.
"In that case, I also add a condition. Your horse is good, if you lose, the horse will be mine. Li Kaigu was not moved by the emotions of the people around him at all, and said calmly.
Wu Zaide's mount was obtained from his uncle Wu Chenghe. Wu Chengsi is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Zetian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the three products of the dynasty, who is in hot power and is the object of countless people. Horses, beauties, and treasures are all lacking, all of them are first-class things, Wu Zaide can speak well, and the young people who are skilled in the Wu clan are also extraordinary, and they are deeply loved by Wu Chenghei, so they have a few horses from the Western Regions.
"As you wish." Wu Zaide hesitated and said. Li Kaigu's strength is not as good as his own, Wu Zaide is quite confident in this, the martial artist's true transmission of Qi Observation has a unique effect on observing the opponent's realm, "This Khitan has not yet reached the five-grade perfection realm of Qi Ying Dantian?" ”
"Yuan Ming, do you think that one will win?" Wei Jie and Li Rong stood side by side, looking at Li Kaigu and Wu Zaide, who were standing opposite each other in the field.
After listening to the words of the two, the crowd of onlookers automatically made way for the two to make a wide field for the competition. The martial arts style of the Tang Dynasty is very prosperous, and the competition between warriors is a very common thing, and it is also a grand event that everyone likes to see.
The crowd was distinct, on the one hand, there were the children of the Turkic, Gaochang, Tubo and other ethnic groups who also came from outside the Saiwai who supported Li Kaigu, on the other hand, the children of the nobles who supported Wu Zaide, and some remained neutral, these people were either Silla and Japanese students who were friendly with the Tang Dynasty, or the Tang people who were not used to the arrogance of the samurai.
"It's just a gamble, what's the point of winning or losing?" Li Rong said lightly. Li Rong didn't have much interest in this kind of duel that was close to entertainment. In his previous life, he experienced how many games watched by tens of thousands of people, so what? What is the point of a battle without the tempering of life and death?
"There's not much point in not having a bet? Why don't we join in and gamble on some small things? Wei Jie said.
I have to say that the people of the Tang Dynasty were very fond of gambling. Far from it, Gaozong was popular in Chang'an City during the time of Gaozong, and even the two princes of Gaozong took cockfighting as fun, and Wang Bo, who was known as the four great talents of the early Tang Dynasty, was because he wrote a "King of Ying's Chicken" Fu for Pei Wang Li Xian, and the Fu was written so well that everyone in the city knew it. Unfortunately, Gaozong also knew, and was very angry and asked you to go to the palace to tutor my son to study, if you don't teach it well, it's just fine, and deliberately teach the child to play, what kind of thing? In a fit of anger, the great poet was relegated to the south, and as a result, Wang Bo passed by Nanchang and wrote the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng".
After a while, someone outside the court made a bet on the duel between the two.
"Bet on what?" Li Rong said with his hands behind his back.
"No matter what you bet on, how about Brother Li choose first?" Wei Jie smiled.
"Li Kaigu." Li Rong said in a deep voice.
"Brother Li doesn't want to hear what the bet is, so he has to bet?" Wei Jie said with interest.
"What's the point of a bet now that the winner has been decided?" Li Rong said.
"Okay, since Brother Li took care of his friends and chose Li Kaigu, I will choose Wu Zaide." Wei Jie said. In his opinion, Wu Zaide's obvious aura is stronger than Li Kaigu's, so the amount of true qi is better than Li Kaigu's, as for the quality of true qi, the martial artist's Xuanyang true qi will definitely not be worse than Li Kaigu's tiger qi.
"Three years ago, Ling Zun fought three grandmaster-level masters alone with a sword, killing two people in one fell swoop and seriously injuring one person, which shocked the martial arts." Wei Jie continued, "The name of the Sword Marquis spread all over the rivers and lakes, and he ranked third on the Heavenly List. ”
"You want to bet on the Xuanyin Sword?" Li Rong reacted quickly. However, Li Rong couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, his father Li Hui cultivated the Xuanyin Wonderful Sword, and he himself had read this immortal martial arts, and the wonderfulness of it was indeed breathtaking, and it could be called a martial art that was not inferior to the Four Great Wonder Books, and it was something that could not be bought with any amount of money.
Xuanyin Miaojian is a unique school of the Xie family in the Southern Dynasty, and the Tianji martial sword of the Langya Wang family is listed as a double wonder of martial arts in the Southern Dynasty, representing the highest achievement of the Southern People's martial arts.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the already declining Xie family even lost its last glory, and the Qiushui Qinyin Sword and Xuanyin Miaojian Sword were lost. As for how the Li family obtained the divine sword and sword spectrum, it is naturally the masterpiece of Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian Yuan who has guarded the south for more than ten years.
"Regardless of whether you win or lose, how about the Wei family exchange the Liuyun Sword Technique?" Wei Jie said. The Liuyun Sword Technique is one of the five major sword techniques passed down by the Wei family.
"Do you think my father will agree?" Li Rong smiled with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Li misunderstood, I just want to see the Xuanyin Divine Technique in the Xuanyin Wonderful Sword, and I have no other intentions." Wei Jie said. He naturally didn't think that Li Rong would agree to exchange the Xuanyin Wonderful Sword Sword Technique, the Liuyun Sword Technique was the Wei family's ancestral five sword techniques, but it was not the most subtle of the five major sword techniques, and there was a gap with the Xuanyin Wonderful Sword.
"Xuanyin's Divine Technique?" Li Rong asked.
Xuanyin into the gods is a kind of luck method in the Xuanyin Wonderful Sword, with the help of the Xuanyin Wonderful Rhythm of True Qi vibration to make the mind advance to a kind of magical realm, which is quite effective in breaking through the bottleneck. This technique is unique to the Xuanyin Sword, which shows the power of the Xuanyin Sword.
"Yes," Wei Jie said.
Wei Jie's father, Wei Mingcheng, has been at the peak of the Seven Rank Innate Grandmaster for a long time, and has not been able to break through the subtle realm.
This kind of thing is like the intellectual property rights of later generations, if it is known by others, not only will there be problems with the inheritance, but it may even be used by the opponent and lose his life, so it can be easily known. What's more, Li Hui, as the official Shangshu of the third rank of the current dynasty, how could he give Wei Mingcheng face? Wei Mingcheng is just an outstanding figure in the horse room, one of the nine public houses of the Wei family, and his status is very different from Li Hui's.
"The Liuyun Sword Technique is useless to me, it's not as good as money, how about you make a thousand runs?" Li Rong said with a smile.
"Deal!" Wei Jie hesitated.
Force means status, if Wei Mingcheng can advance to the micro realm, then his status in the Wei family will definitely increase greatly, and there is hope for him to become the great elder of the family.
