Chapter 29: A Blessing in Disguise
Er Zhurong sat on the upper hall, squinted at Gao Huan and said calmly: "The old man was ordered by the emperor today to hold a celebration banquet. ”
"Big brother...... Heavenly King Rongyu, this He Liuhun doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, relying on his own military merits, he is arrogant in this palace, he had a quarrel with his younger brother when he watched the play before, and the implication was very uneven, and he just beat the younger brother in the treasury, which is obviously revenge, and I hope that the king of heaven will make the decision for me. Er Zhu Zhongyuan cried to Er Zhurong with tears in his eyes at this time. Life is like a drama all depends on acting skills, and here Zhu Zhongyuan is so innate that he is very skilled in pouring dirty water.
Erzhu Tianguang, who was sitting under Er Zhurong's head, closed his eyes and was silent, and behind him stood Erzhu Shilong, Er Zhu Zhao and other children of the same clan, all with angry eyes and eyes spitting fire, as if they wanted to tear and tear this Gao Huan who broke ground on Tai Sui's head and swallow it alive.
Er Zhurong asked Gao Huan with a smile: "I don't believe Zhongyuan's words, He Liuhun, you come and listen to me, what is going on today?" ”
Gao Huan got up, cleared his throat and knelt down and said: "Grace is above, let the villain be ......" I saw Gao Huan adding fuel and vinegar to say that the matter of Yuan Yi and Er Zhu Zhongyuan was 10,000 times more exciting than the drama, and the saliva was splashing, what he said was that Yuan Yi sat on the side and hid his face silently, Er Zhu Zhongyuan's face was red and white, and everyone present had complex expressions on their faces, some holding back their smiles, and some holding back their anger.
After Gao Huan finished saying this, Er Zhurong said to everyone with a pleasant face: "I just said that He Liuhun is not that kind of person, how can he come to my mansion?" He turned his head to Yuan Yi and Er Zhu Zhongyuan and said, "This matter is still wrong with the two of you, you need to accompany General Gao." You turned his head to Gao Huan and said: "Since it doesn't seem to be a big deal because of the cause of a play, don't take it to heart and forgive him for messing around." ”
"Dare not respect the order." Gao Huan still has this bit of eyesight, Er Zhurong has already given him enough face and steps, and he is blindly ignoring and not letting people grasp this kind of thing, but he does not give Er Rong face. People are like this, they always have an inexplicable sense of fear for their direct leaders or direct elders, and they don't consciously rely on them when they speak and do things.
"Alright, it's not a big deal, let's all go down and continue to drink." Erzhurong waved his hand.
At this time, Er Zhu Zhao stood up with an unconvinced face and said to Er Zhu Rong: "The king of heaven is above, and the little nephew has something to say." ”
"Oh? If you have anything to say, you might as well say it. Er Zhurong squinted at Er Zhu Zhaodao.
"The little nephew heard that General Gao is famous in Hebei, and he has repelled strong enemies many times, so he must be strong in martial arts. Er Zhu Zhao is the strongest martial arts in Er Zhu Rong's younger generation of nephews, and his strength is infinitely brave, it is said that he killed the tiger in the mountains alone, Er Zhu Rong has always regarded him as his henchman, and he is favored. The Erzhu clan in the hall was still depressed, and Erzhu Zhao raised his head one after another as soon as he said this, this is to find Gao Huan for revenge.
"Oh? So? Er Zhurong's squinted eyes opened, and he turned back to Gao Huan and said: "Today is a celebration banquet, you shouldn't dance with knives and guns, but I think that all of you here are military generals, so it's just a good time to compete with each other, and it is good to use it as a fun show, General Gao, are you willing to fight?" ”
"Dare not respect the order." Gao Huan also bowed down in response, and said in his heart: Damn, who is afraid of whom, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu doesn't want to be the general of this Zhenbei, but also touches the tiger's buttocks, and it doesn't necessarily mean who loses and who wins.
On the school field, Er Zhurong wore a golden cloak and sat on a tiger skin chair in the middle of the military platform, and the left and right sides sat or stood here Er Zhu and Yuan Yi and other dignitaries and nobles, while He Basheng, Sima Ziru and other ministers stood under the military platform, and other guests who watched the excitement surrounded the entire school field.
Er Zhu Zhao rode on a horse, galloped to the front of the military platform, dismounted and bowed: "The little nephew is willing to compare bow and arrow archery skills with General Gao first, then horse combat spear skills, and finally hand-to-hand combat." ”
"Okay, what does General Gao think?" Er Zhurong turned his head and asked Gao Huan.
"Dare not respect the order." Gao Huan is also bowing to the letter. Although the content of the test is very bad for you, if you try to write and draw, even if it is better than drinking. But people had to bow their heads under the eaves, Gao Huan said in his heart.
"Today's competition only needs to be pointed, no matter what the final victory is, the two generals will be rewarded. Okay, you both go down and get ready. Er Zhurong waved at Er Zhu Zhao.
"Brother Wait." He Batsheng grabbed Gao Huan, who was about to go to the stable to lead the horse, and said: "I appreciate what you have done today, and I would like to lend you my frog horse, this horse is extraordinary, and it will definitely help you if I have been fighting for many years." ”
"Thank you, Brother Hobat." Gao Huan didn't refuse, he didn't have any special hobby for horses, because he wasn't Bole, and he didn't understand the quality of horses. Just pick a random horse in the battle and you can fight. In fact, horses were as important to ancient soldiers as brothers, and even if it was serious, their lives were entrusted to the beasts that sat down.
When He Batsheng's horse was brought over, Gao Huan could finally understand why someone was willing to spend a lot of money to buy a horse. Look at this frog horse, with its bare skin and full of spirit, its hooves round and large, its legs thick and powerful, its tail thick and long, and its occasional grunting sound from its throat. Sure enough, it's a good horse!
Gao Huan was very happy in his heart, took the reins from He Batsheng's hand, turned over and got on the horse, and the frog horse neighed, raised its hooves forward, and galloped out as swift as thunder and lightning. Gao Huan almost fell off the horse, such a fierce horse that did not obey discipline, Gao Huan couldn't help but clamp his legs hard, bent down on the horse's back, clutched the reins tightly in his hands, and looked up ahead.
After walking around several times, the frog pony gradually slowed down, and kept humming out of his nose. Gao Huan gently stroked its neck and soothed it. It seems that Gao Huan was born with a sense of control over horses. I saw that the frog treasure horse not only walked slowly obediently, but also let out a satisfied low cry from time to time.
I could only hear the rumbling of twelve pairs of drums on the left and right sides of the military platform, and Gao Huan turned his horse and walked towards the military platform.
The contestant came out and sang: "The two generals, the content of the cavalry archery competition is a hundred steps apart, each opposite side shoots arrows, only three arrows are fired, and the one with many wins." Then two sergeants came beside him, each holding a bow and a quiver.
Gao Huan took the bow and arrows and looked at them, the bow was very tense, the strings were very tight, and there were no arrow clusters in this arrow, only rags wrapped around the arrow clusters, and the rags were dyed with red paint. Gao Huan said, the design is really ingenious, this arrow can not hurt people but also reflect the effect of being shot.
Er Zhu Zhao stood a hundred steps away, only to hear him shout, and drove the horse to Gao Huan's side, Gao Huan was not to be outdone, riding forward, the two were sixty steps apart, only to see Er Zhu Zhao open his bow and take an arrow, and an arrow shot out and flew straight to Gao Huan's face, Gao Huan lowered his head and was able to dodge this arrow, Er Zhurong saw that an arrow missed and another arrow, this time Gao Huan easily opened it with a bow, this ancient archery is said to be powerful, I think it is also common. Gao Huan said happily in his heart.
Er Zhurong was a little panicked when the two arrows missed, and at this time, Gao Huan took out an arrow, buckled it on the thumb of his left hand, and flew over with a whoosh The arrow grazed Er Zhuzhao's shoulder, and everyone around him thought it had been shot, and they all cheered.
Er Zhu Zhao saw that Gao Huan missed an arrow, so he immediately pulled out the last arrow in the quiver, bent down and stretched his bow, and with a sigh, the last arrow was also dodged by Gao Huan. Of course, Gao Huan's last two arrows definitely didn't hit, don't ask me why, our male protagonist Gao Huan hasn't reached the status of a god yet, and he can't be proficient in everything.
In this way, the first match was a draw, so the two prepared for the second match: immediately shooting. This Gao Huan is a master, and so many battles are based on riding and spearmanship.
Gao Huan and Er Zhu Zhao both changed into leather armor pockets, wore cooked copper helmets on their heads, and held a spear in their hands, which also had the head removed, and was wrapped in rags and dyed red like arrows.
The tester came out again and sang loudly: "In the second competition to test the spearmanship, please divide the winner and loser in thirty rounds, otherwise the winner will be divided by the red points on the body." ”
Gao Huan and Er Zhuzhao were thirty steps apart, and they threw their hands on their horses, and then drove their horses towards each other. I saw that when the horses on both sides were crossed, Gao Huan stabbed Er Zhu Zhao's right shoulder with a shot, and Er Zhu Zhao stabbed Gao Huan's left arm with a shot, and then the two of them passed by, separated more than 30 steps, and turned the horse back and turned to impact, so that they sprinted back and forth, no one could stab anyone down, Gao Huan raised his gun and shouted: "Kill!" Riding a horse and rushing towards Er Zhu Zhao, this Er Zhu Zhao was also calm, seeing that the spear in Gao Huan's hand stabbed directly into his face, everyone watching exclaimed. Er Zhuzhao bent down and lowered his head when the gun head was about to arrive in front of him, grabbed Gao Huan's gun head with his backhand, and pulled it hard, trying to pull Gao Huan off the horse with his strength.
Gao Huan was shocked when he saw that his shot was dodged, and when he saw that the head of the gun was caught in Er Zhuzhao's hands, he could only let go of his hands and let go of the spear. If Gao Huan rode his horse away at this time, he would definitely be shot back by Er Zhu Zhao, even if he lost, he was in a hurry, flew to Er Zhu Zhao, and the two of them fell off the horse together. The surrounding audience exclaimed again. Zheng Dache, who was standing in the crowd, was also very nervous and watched from the side.
Er Zhu Zhao was annoyed and was about to get up and beat Gao Huan, only to see Gao Huan preemptively, turning over and pressing heavily on himself, and when the two were hugging each other and rolling together and struggling and fighting, the tester came out and said loudly: "In the second game, General Gao Huan and Gao are even better." ”
Er Zhu Zhao scolded loudly with a dissatisfied face: "You are blind, I first dodged his sprint, and then snatched the spear in his hand, how can I be considered lost?" ”
The examiner said helplessly: "The adults are angry, and the villain is just passing on the prime minister's holy judgment and the dictates of several other adults." If you have the fire, don't rush to the small one. ”
Er Zhu Zhao said loudly: "I don't accept this competition!" Er Zhu Shilong ran down and said: "Don't mess around, people in the know can see that although you took He Liuhun's gun, but you can't hurt his life, He Liuhun fell off the horse at the same time but pressed you firmly under him, at this time it is easy to take your life." But he deliberately twisted with you and got into a fight, which was to save face for the king. ”
Er Zhuzhao snorted coldly at Gao Huan with an angry face: "In the third melee fight, I won't let you." ”
Gao Huan smiled, at this time he was no longer interested in the outcome of the victory or defeat in his heart, he was more concerned about what the people present thought of him, he wanted to win Er Zhu Zhao's heart, let Er Zhu Rong admire, let his colleagues worship, and let Zheng Dache admire. At this time, Er Zhu Zhao's courage and ruthlessness seemed to everyone to be more like a child's negative spirit.
Changed into a leather armor and helmet, Gao Huan held the ancestral Pu knife in one hand and a wooden shield in the other, but Er Zhuzhao was shirtless at this time, only holding a silver moon scimitar, staring at Gao Huan menacingly, his eyes were full of anger, as if he was going to swallow him alive.
The two stood in a circle, and the contestant appeared again and sang: "The third competition is a real knife competition, and the rule is that whoever forces the other party out of the circle first in the time of a stick of incense wins." Since they are using real knives, they are careful not to hurt innocent people, so the two generals should pay attention to their own safety. ”
Gao Huan said in his heart: Damn, since I am afraid of hurting the innocent and want us to use real knives, Er Zhurong is an old horseman!
