Seeing that Liu He had no reaction, Taishou Liu Ji hurriedly said with a smile: "Shangxian, please forgive me, this son has just returned from the imperial capital Luoyang, and he hasn't learned much about Confucianism. ”
After that, he bowed deeply, his attitude was sincere, and the words of love for the younger generation moved all the guests, even Liu He, who didn't know what to do, was quite moved.
Bai Ziyun held his left hand weakly, and Liu Ji, who was a foot away, felt as if there was an invisible hand supporting him, and his body involuntarily stood up straight.
Liu Ji was shocked and frightened in his heart, but fortunately, the invisible power disappeared immediately, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and scolded secretly in his heart, Bai Shangxian is a true immortal, Liu He really doesn't know what to do.
"Liu Taishou, please rest assured, ordinary people don't understand the wonders of the fairy way, and are often confused by the indiscriminate people, and many people in the world are suspicious of the fairy way, and they listen to and believe in it, this is a normal thing, I have practiced for many years, and I am calm, and I am not so ignorant that the child is a lie, and I am angry."
"The Immortal Dao is profound, the heart is calm and natural, and I envy mortals such as me."
Liu Ji laughed, stepped down the dancing girls, and then returned to their seats. The other guests also laughed and said some flattering words to Bai Ziyun, which made Bai Ziyun's heart feel refreshed, he rarely went out and didn't know much about the outside world's attitude towards him, and he finally realized his influence in Zhuojun.
Liu He was not angry in his heart, but after seeing this posture, he didn't dare to be an "atheist fighter" anymore. However, when he heard that everyone flattered Gongsun Zhan's excellent martial arts and killed thousands of thieves with one person and one horse, he suddenly disdained in his heart, another person who lied about the military situation. Is there such a brave man in the world? Even the overlord Xiang Yu, who "pulls out the mountain and covers the world", does not have this ability.
Seeing a sycophant, the young and vigorous Liu He really couldn't help it, and said: "Brother Gongsun, if you can break through tens of thousands of mountain people with a hundred horses, can you use a hundred horses to break through tens of thousands of Hu people, or thousands of Hu people, well, or hundreds of Hu people?" ”
Gongsun Zhan's face showed disdain, and he said confidently: "The Hu people just rely on horse speed and bows and arrows, and they dare not say that they can break tens of thousands of horses, but thousands of horses will never be counted." ”
All the guests were in an uproar, they were all suspicious, but Liu He didn't believe it at all, and sneered: "Break thousands of horses with hundreds of horses? What do you rely on, do you depend on this white ...... Sorcerer's sorcery? Is it blowing wind, or is it breathing fire? ”
Gongsun Zhan saw him mocking his master again, his eyes flashed, his hand pressed on the hilt of his sword, and mocked: "A scribe who only knows how to flatter the outside and deceive the inside knows what kind of soldiers are brave, do you think that my subordinates are as powerless as you?" ”
"Oh? Brother Gongsun is so confident in his bravery? Liu He said fearlessly.
"Since I learned martial arts from my teacher, I have the strength of a thousand catties in one arm, and I don't have much to do with that Xiang Yu!" Gongsun Chan was quite complacent.
"Haha~"
Liu He laughed, as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world, and looked at Gongsun Chan full of mockery.
"The overlord of Chu is known as the strength to lift the tripod, Brother Gongsun, do you know how many catties the tripod weighs, at most it weighs only six hundred catties, but you say that you have the strength of a thousand catties, it seems that your strength is greater than that of the overlord of Chu."
(I forgot to mention earlier: in the Han Dynasty, a catty was about 250 grams, and a 600-kilogram tripod was 150 kilograms, and the ability of the overlord of Chu to lift 150 kilograms of a tripod was still credible, which was almost the limit of human strength.) )
"You don't believe it!" Gongsun Chan looked at Liu He playfully, like an ignorant boy in the countryside.
Gongsun Zhan's eyes made him very uncomfortable, and Liu He snorted coldly: "How unbelievable, it's a big joke in the world!" Don't you win, Brother Gongsun can still raise a big tripod? There was contempt in his tone.
Everyone showed a look of displeasure, this Liu He really didn't know what to say, everyone just celebrated Gongsun Zhan in a friendly manner, but they wanted to find fault like this. Where will I go to find a tripod to give Gongsun Zhan, this tripod is not only for the royal princes, where will ordinary people have it.
This bronze tripod has always been an important weapon of the country in ancient times, a symbol of power, to the Han Dynasty is no longer popular, but in the eyes of the reader still has a very high status, the average person is afraid to use this thing.
Gongsun Zhan said angrily: "This bronze tripod is not, but I saw that Brother Liu brought a red colt, weighing only seven or eight hundred catties, if I lift it, you will give this horse to my master as an apology, if I can't lift it, I will give you my jade lion that shines on the night, do you dare to bet with me?" ”
Liu He hesitated suddenly, the red foal was a bloody horse in the Western Regions, he spent fifty taels of gold to buy it, and he planned to pull it back and cultivate it slowly, but he had seen Gongsun Zhan's white horse, it was indeed extraordinary, and he was also salivating in his heart, and he saw Gongsun Zhan's face was red, and his eyes were red, obviously drunk and arrogant.
At this time, Bai Ziyun's face sank, and he blamed: "Bogui, your Jade Lion is a famous horse in the world, how can you use it for a battle of will?" He looked rather displeased, and seemed to disapprove of the bet.
Liu He immediately stopped hesitating when he saw it, and said, "Okay, I'll make a bet with you next!" Liu Taishou and everyone here testified, don't regret it when the time comes! ”
"If the husband says it, the horse is hard to chase!" Gongsun Chan laughed and said.
Then, the servant brought Liu and the foal over, their manes were scattered, their hair was red, their muscles were soft and toned, and their black jewel-like eyes were looking around, and they seemed to be a little timid.
Bai Ziyun took a closer look at the foal with his equestrian skills, and praised it: "It is indeed a good horse!" ”
Hearing the master's praise, Gongsun Chan knew that it was a good horse, and his heart was overjoyed, so he got up from his seat and walked to the colt. When the foal saw Gongsun Zhan, he was slightly startled and looked at him vigilantly.
Gongsun Chan smiled slightly, put his right hand under the foal's belly, and lifted it up, and the foal was lifted. When the foal saw that his limbs were off the ground, he immediately panicked, but he couldn't break free from Gongsun Zhan's palm, and finally neighed uneasily.
The guests applauded and admired. Gongsun Zhan was triumphant, walked around with great ease, and then put it down in front of Liu He, looked at Liu He with a smile, and asked, "Brother Liu, do you have anything to say?" ”
Liu He's jaw was about to fall off, and he was dumbfounded, his brain was extremely confused, and he couldn't speak for a while.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Gongsun Zhan didn't pay attention to him anymore, but walked up to Bai Ziyun and said with a smile: "Master, fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!" ”
The two immediately looked at each other and smiled.
This will make Gongsun Zhan's originally ruddy face return to normal!
When Liu He saw it, he came to his senses, he had fallen into the trap of the master and apprentice, and he hated it in his heart, and when he was about to ridicule him, he suddenly saw Bai Ziyun glancing at him seemingly at random, but he pounced on him like a wild beast.
Liu He screamed in horror, feces and urine flowed together, and he fell to the ground on his back.
