Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Brave Race Begins

At the beginning of February, the weather was still cold.

But the streets of Chang'an are crowded with people, and they have only one purpose, that is, the arena in the north of the city.

This is the first day of the beginning of the brave competition, and the people who like to join in the excitement all rush to the newly completed arena.

For the first time in thousands of years, this brave contest is enough to attract anyone's attention.

What's more, it is the winter climate, and the people have nothing to do at home, so how can they miss such a God-given opportunity?

The venue for the competition was chosen in the open space on the south bank of Weishui in the north of Chang'an.

Because it is close to Weishui, there is often a chance of flooding, so it belongs to the empty space that is uncultivated, and now it is just being used. It is close to Chang'an, and there is no worry about disturbing the people.

The arena resembles a small Colosseum, oval-shaped. It covers an area of about 20,000 square meters, and the area of the game is the size of two football fields, and the surrounding spectator seats are increased diagonally, and there is no problem that will block people's views, and it can accommodate 80,000 spectators.

It is unbelievable that it took less than two months to complete the construction of such a large-scale competition venue.

All this is naturally inseparable from Li Shimin's strong support and the crystallization of the wisdom of the people of Datang.

100,000 laborers and 30,000 captives, under the command of the architectural family Yuwenjia, created such a miracle in a short period of time.

Of course, the time is limited, and there are still big gaps in details, but it does not affect the progress of the game.

Like the competition venues in later generations, there are specially dug aisles in the four directions of southeast, east and west, and there are 12 large rooms dug in each tunnel, each of which can accommodate more than a dozen contestants to rest or warm up. The equipment inside is almost equivalent to a small martial arts hall, with swords, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons. Rest beds, locker rooms, water and food for energy, and medical staff, almost everything the athletes need, are all available here, and they are no worse than the rest rooms of later sports.

Probably because this competition was very hyped. In addition, this is a rare grand event after the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, there are a lot of people who come to watch, and the huge arena is already overcrowded. The number of spectators was almost no less than 60,000, and it was even more popular than the original polo match.

According to the course of the competition, the junior group will be held in the morning, while the middle-aged group will be held in the afternoon. As the host, Du He, Luo Tong, Fang Yiai, Li Yexu, Li Yehei, Li Jingye and others were arranged in the same rest room because of their close relationship.

Qin Qiong even walked out of the mansion and became their coach, and also appeared in the rest room.

All of them are young and vigorous, and they have recently been guided by Qin Qiong, the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, and they are all full of confidence, and they are quite relaxed when they get together to talk and laugh.

As the game approached, Du He, Luo Tong, Fang Yiai and San Li walked out of the rest room.

The road is narrow, and he is meeting this group of people who are generous.

Fang Yiai belongs to that kind of standard gentleman, although he has changed a lot, but his surname is still a little difficult to change, and he grinned: "Is the injury healed, or I will be punched by the master, so as not to lose too badly in the hands of my eldest brother and can't raise my head." ”

Li Jingye was also afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and said with a sneering smile: "Bereavement, this guy is the one who made you punch half to death?" It looks tall and big, I can't imagine such a pustule! ”

Dadu's face flushed, and let Fang Yiai punch half to death, which has become an indelible shame in his bones, and roared with an iron fist to hit Fang Yiai.

Du He's figure flashed, and he had already appeared in front of Fang Yiai's body, and he took the attack of Dadu's set with a Tai Chi pusher.

Seeing that a big melee was about to break out, he suddenly heard a cold voice say: "It is forbidden to participate in private fights in the rest room, if you don't follow the rules, you will be disqualified from the competition, and you will be beaten in the ring!" ”

It was obvious that Qin Qiong heard the movement outside, and stared coldly at the group of people, revealing the chilling killing momentum that had been on the battlefield for a long time.

Hearing this voice, the people of Duhe remembered the methods of this fierce general in the past half a month, and they all shook their spirits.

The magnanimity also made Qin Qiong stunned, although Qin Qiong looked like a tall and thin old man, but the momentum on his body was intimidating.

The group indifferently walked out of the aisle of the contestants.

All the participants in the youth category combined were 200 people.

The first day was all the knockout rounds of each event, although it was a knockout round, but which of the countries that came to congratulate did not want to impress Datang in order to obtain better preferential treatment?

All the contestants, without exception, are unique in their respective countries.

It's hard to think about the competition where so many talented people come together.

This is especially true for several exciting and fierce events such as mounted archery, mounted fighting, ring fighting, wrestling, wrestling, and cross-country races.

From the beginning of the game, the cheers of the people never stopped.

Especially Du Ho and Luo Tong.

They are all rare handsome guys, and their martial arts are outstanding, and they can cause a burst of fanatical shouts every time they play, which makes Fang Yiai, the Li family brothers and others indignant, but they are helpless, they look in the mirror, although they are not bad, but they are much inferior to the two of them.

Luo Tong, Fang Yiai, and San Li all easily advanced with their own strength, except for Luo Tong who encountered an opponent with little difference in strength in the cavalry battle, the rest were not enough.

Of course, this is not because the contestants are not strong, but because they are better and better!

I don't know if it's luck or not, Duhe's opponent who advanced to World War II is a person named Odawaraji.

Odawara said in broken Chinese: "I've heard Mr. Qinglian's name for a long time, and I'll meet Odawara in Shirakoku!" ”

In the Tang Dynasty, people from all over the world were proud to know Chinese, and at this time, Chinese was the mainstream language in society, so it was not surprising that Odawara could speak Chinese.

Although Du He hated himself, he didn't want to lose the bearing of the countrymen in front of everyone, so he responded and made a gesture of please!

Odawara took a posture of Tang Tetsu.

A cold smile appeared in Du He's eyes: Tang Hand Boxing is an ancient Chinese hand-to-hand combat martial art, also known as Tang Hand. The original Tang hand was the "enamel" next to the handle, which means the loose hand move of the enamel file blocking, called "the hand fist". Due to its great popularity in the Tang Dynasty, it was changed to "Tang Hand Boxing".

"Tang Hand Fist" was passed on to the book, and then developed into the hand-to-hand martial arts of reading, and with the study and development of experts of various generations, it became what was later called karate.

Tang Shou is a very domineering martial arts, very particular about fast and crisp, and the killing surname of the attack, often one hit to kill.

Odawara yelled and rushed over.

But when he rushed in front of Du Ho, Du Ho suddenly jumped up and jumped on top of his head.

Just as he looked up, Du Ho's knee fell like a meteorite towards his face, knocking him to the ground, his nose shattered, and blood flowed everywhere!

One hit kills!

Du He got out of the ring in a flutter, and Luo Tong looked at him strangely and said, "You have an enmity with the man from the Wa Kingdom?" ”

"Is there one?" Du He smiled slightly and sat down.

After Du He was promoted, he couldn't stop watching the players of the game from the sidelines.

In general, they have their own abilities, but only a few can threaten his existence, and coincidentally, two of them are acquaintances.

One is the magnanimous set, this guy is arrogant, but he is not the kind of person who only has a powerful mouth and no real talent, and all the opponents who fight against him will let him clean up with three punches and two feet.

"This little bunny didn't expect to be so powerful!" On the side, Fang Yiai also saw the performance of magnanimity, and secretly smacked his tongue on the side.

In terms of strength alone, Dadu set up a lot to win Fang Yiai, of course, if he is stupid to compare his strength with Fang Yiai, the result will still be the same.

"That's what makes it interesting!" Du He smiled calmly, if the opponents are all guys who can be knocked down with three punches and two kicks, then what's the fun in the game?

The other is Songzan Xiruo who came to Tibet, he didn't see it before, his martial arts are not inferior to Dadu, the most concerning thing is his hand knife, his hand knife is as sharp as a real knife, and those who are hit by him must have broken his neck, which is particularly powerful.

Du He even doubted that as long as he smeared the flame on his hand, he would be able to become the famous stunt flame knife of Gu Mozhi in Jin Daxia's novel.

After seeing Song Zan Xiruo's performance, Qin Qiong also said: "This kid also hides some stunts, you have to be careful with him and his nephew!" ”

Du He nodded in understanding.

However, what caught Duhe's attention the most was not these two people, but the mud Borat who was coming to power, Tekwen.

This Tekwen doesn't have a strong martial arts, but the strange thing is that he has an invincible ability to resist fights, and he has a terrifying hard qigong. In the last game, his opponent was a master of Silla and his martial arts were good, but he punched Tekwen for more than fifty punches in one go, and Ren was so tired that he was panting, but Tekwen was expressionless and did not suffer any harm at all, and finally forced the Silla master to surrender voluntarily in the ring, which is particularly interesting.

The person fighting against him at this moment is none other than Cheng Chuliang, one of the living treasures of the Cheng family.

Whoever wins, who wins, will be the opponent of Du Ho.

Cheng Chuliang is like Cheng biting gold, and he belongs to the kind of person who is in a hurry. Seeing that Tai Kewen was like an old monk in a fixed state, he did not intend to attack, and he did not hesitate to launch an attack first. Flicked his body forward, and with a kick he landed on Tekwin's chest and abdomen.

Tekwen took the kick, but instead of being kicked to the ground, he took three steps back and stood firmly.

The people around cheered, after all, this is the Tang Dynasty, and Tai Kewen carried the Silla master in the last duel, which also left a deep impression on them. But now Cheng Chuliang kicked Tekwen back three steps with one kick, which shows that Cheng Chuliang has caused him damage, which is much stronger than the Silla master.

Du He shook his head and sighed, Cheng Chuliang was indeed much stronger than the Silla master, but it was not necessary to cause damage to Tai Kewen.

Although Tekwen took three steps back, it was obvious that he was unloading Cheng Chuliang's power, and there might not be much pain on it.

The attack didn't end there, he was a fighting maniac, and he would never stop if he didn't beat his opponent. By the time Tekwin was kicked back, he had already followed.

When Tekwen stabilized his retreating stance, Cheng Chuliang swept his knee with a kick, causing him to kneel on one knee.

Then, Cheng Chuliang slashed down with a palm, and the target was the back of Taikwendi's head. The back of the head is the most dangerous part of the human body, and if it is hit, no matter how strong Tekwen's resistance ability is, he will definitely pass out.

Tekwen didn't dodge, but just raised his head and took Cheng Chuliang's plan with his brain.

"Bang!" With a bang, Cheng Chuliang's palm was like splitting on a stone, and the attack was ineffective.

Tekwen began to fight back at this time, he was still on one knee on the ground, but his upper body jumped, and his arms suddenly blocked Cheng Chuliang's waist. This sudden blow threw Cheng Chuliang to the ground in an instant. Then he rode on top of him, swung his hammer-like fist, and slammed it down on the head.

Seeing this, the Cheng brothers couldn't help but exclaim, and the people who had a good relationship with Fang Yiai, Luo Tong and Cheng Chuliang also exclaimed.

But seeing Cheng Chuliang put his head on the side, he avoided Tekven's punch, the tiger roared, his waist turned up violently, and directly knocked Tekwen over from his head, and a carp stiffened and flipped up from the ground.

"Good!" Seeing that Cheng Chuliang got out of danger. The audience couldn't help but applaud.

The brothers of the Cheng family also cheered.

Cheng Chuliang once again formed a confrontation scene with Tekwen.

Cheng Chuliang approached again and waved a pair of iron fists. A storm slammed into Tekven's head, chest, abdomen, and ribs.

Tekwin took a few punches, but still nothing.

Cheng Chuliang became angrier and angrier the more he fought, and shouted: "You son of a bitch, I, Cheng Laosan, don't believe that you are fucking iron-clad!" Saying that, more violent attacks surged towards Tekven one after another, and in one breath, he actually attacked nearly a hundred punches one after another, and Tekven retreated again and again.

"Cheng Laosan lost!" Du He looked at this scene and sighed helplessly.

"Not necessarily!" Luo Tong didn't want Cheng Chuliang to lose, and frowned.

"Natai Kewen's hard qigong is indeed amazing, but Cheng Laosan may not be without the possibility of victory. It's just that the Cheng family's brothers' surname is Geng Zhi, and they think that the competition is fierce, and they have no regrets about winning or losing. Disdain and use small means, there is such a situation, if he can directly hold Tekwin and throw him out of the ring, with his strength, he can do it. "Duho has seen that Tekwen's defensive strength is amazing, but his offensive means are pitiful. As long as you fight him twice, throw him out of the ring and the outcome is certain.

It's just that Cheng Laosan's bullish temper has come up, and Tekwen's non-offensive style of play has made him rebellious: he doesn't believe that he can't break his defense, so he buries his head in blindly attacking.

Suddenly, Cheng Chuliang burst into a shout: "Bull Running Boxing!" ”

Du He stood up movingly.

Cheng Chuliang's fist suddenly fell silent, but it was extremely fast, and it hit Tekwen in the chest.

Tykwen spat out a mouthful of blood and took a few steps back.

Cheng Chuliang grinned, his face was satisfied, "I don't believe I can't move you!" As he spoke, he fell into the ring, and the punch had exhausted all his strength, and he collapsed due to exhaustion.

Tekwin was battered, but he still stood up.

Tekwen wins, Cheng is defeated!
