Chapter 201: A Pyrrhic Victory

Li Su looked at the brute figure who slowly stood up on the stage, and couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, if the other party really lifted it, then the three championship medals would be in hand, so that if they wanted to stop the peace of Tubo, only the last round of the city bicycle race, the competition between their brothers and Songtsen Gampo was left.

"Ah~" When Li Su was pondering, he suddenly heard a burst of shouts on the stage, and after standing up straight, Mantu slowly adjusted the balance of his body, and then began to exert his strength again, and actually lifted the barbell above his head.

"Boom~" Seeing that the brute picture on the stage really lifted the barbell of 800 catties, the audience immediately boiled, although the other party is a Tubo person, but sportsmanship has no borders, of course, now few people in Datang may not realize what sportsmanship is, they just feel that this Tubo man has impressed everyone with his achievements, so the audience also reversed the previous hostility to the Tubo people, and began to cheer for the mantu.

I saw the brute figure on the stage stand up again. According to the rules, he had to insist on three breaths, but the mantu seemed to have reached the limit, and the muscles on his bare arms and thighs were towering high, and at the same time, they were shaking violently, looking extremely dangerous. The thick neck is thicker than the head, the face has turned from blood red to purple, and the eyes are even more round, making people worry about whether they will fall out of their sockets.

"Poof~" The three breaths finally arrived, but before the barbell in his hand could be put down, he felt a sweet smell in his throat surge, and then a mouthful of crimson blood spurted out, and the barbell in his hand could no longer be held, and it slipped down all of a sudden. It happened to be smashed on the head, but when the sitting person reacted, Mantu was already lying unconscious on the weight lifting table, and the 800-pound barbell was also just lying on his body.

"Help!" Songtsen Gampo in the audience looked gloomy, he could see that Mantu's face was wrong just now, but he didn't dare to speak, after all, Mantu was holding an eight-hundred-pound barbell in his hand at that time. He must not be distracted, and now something has happened. And the audience was also in an uproar, they didn't expect that this Tubo person had already succeeded. How could such an accident happen at the end?

When a group of Tibetan warriors heard the order of the lord of the country, they immediately divided more than a dozen people to come to the stage, trying to pull the barrotan out from under the barbell. But before they could make a move, they heard someone next to them say loudly: "If you don't want him to die, stop it all for me!" ”

Some of the Tibetan warriors could understand Chinese, and when they heard this, they turned their heads and saw that it was Li Su, the king of Qi of the Tang Dynasty, who was also stunned at the moment, but he still stopped his companions around him. After all, they knew that the game was organized by this King of Qi, and if someone was injured, the other party would of course be responsible.

Li Su took Hu Li and they walked up to the weight bench and carefully observed the brute picture that was pressed down by the barbell. It was found that the other party's left shoulder was smashed and obviously dented, obviously the bones inside had been broken, and there were several cuts on the skin, which were bleeding non-stop. But Mantu's luck is not bad. Except for the shoulder, there were no obvious injuries in other places, and only the barbell rod was pressed on the body, and the barbell plates weighing hundreds of pounds at both ends did not hit him.

"The doctor is here, everyone get out of the way!" At this moment, Li Ke, who ran to call the doctor, also rushed over. He was followed by an imperial doctor, whose surname was Huang, and he was also an acquaintance of Li Su, who had accompanied Li Shimin on the expedition to Goguryeo, and had a deep medical attainment in knife and arrow trauma, which even Sun Simiao admired very much. It is inevitable that someone will be injured at the Winter Games, so Li Su asked this Huang Imperial Doctor to take a group of disciples to sit in the formation and deal with the injuries encountered during the game at any time.

Huang Imperial Doctor immediately frowned when he saw the appearance of Mantu, hurriedly put down the medicine box, and touched the other party's body with both hands, until he found that the bones in other parts of Mantu were not seriously injured, his brows stretched a little, and then he stood up and said to Li Su: "Your Highness, the bones of this person's shoulder have been completely smashed, and it is basically impossible to recover, and there is no great injury in other places, but I still ask someone to remove the heavy object, and then send it to the medical center for his diagnosis and treatment!" ”

There is a medical hall in the venue of the Winter Games, and the medicine and facilities in it are relatively complete, and such a serious injury can only be dealt with there.

"Lift this barbell away!" Songtsen Gampo also stood beside him, and when he heard Huang Imperial Doctor say that Mantu's arm was useless, his face was also gloomy, but he quickly recovered, and commanded the Tubo warriors around him to move the barbell away.

"No!" Several Tibetan warriors did not approach, but they were stopped by Hu Li with gestures, and then I saw him holding the barbell with both hands, and suddenly lifted the 800-pound barbell with force, and then threw the barbell out four or five meters with a loud roar, only to hear the sound of 'Woo~' smacking outside the field, and the ground was shaking constantly.

Seeing Hu Lilu's divine power, not only the other Tubo people showed a look of horror, but even Songtsen Gampo also narrowed his eyes, and looked each other up and down at the same time, thinking that Fang Yiai was already the number one strong man in the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect that this giant-like strong man in front of him was even better, although the other party did not lift the barbell, but seeing that he could easily throw the barbell out so far, it must not take much effort to lift it.

Imperial Doctor Huang glared at Hu Li angrily, and after seeing that the strange things on the injured person were gone, he immediately commanded a few disciples to carry the person onto the stretcher, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear as he walked: "What a bunch of muddy people, lifting these iron things bare-chested, they are simply full of food, and they are all injured like this, and they are still in the mood to behave, what do you think of human life?" ”

Ignoring the complaints of Huang Imperial Doctor, although Mantu was injured, he did lift the barbell above his head for three breaths, so this result should be effective, and according to Li Su's promise before, the other party lifted eight hundred catties, and they should admit defeat, although Li Su was a little unwilling, but for the sake of the man who didn't know life and death, he didn't want to say anything, so he had to hand over the weightlifting championship medal to Songtsan Gampo's hand, but when the other party was holding the medal, there was no happy look on his face.

The weightlifting competition ended in a tragic victory for the Tubo people, and the Winter Games have basically been completed, although there were such and such problems during the period, but in general, it was a relatively successful sports meeting, at least each event decided the champion, and also accumulated experience for the next official games, and found a lot of talents, such as Xue Rengui, the talent of the general, in terms of his value, even if it is worth holding ten more Winter Games.

However, as the main organizers of the Winter Games, Li Su and Li Ke are not in the mood to pay attention to the gains and losses of this Winter Games, because there is also a most critical cycling race around the city, and not only the two of them will participate, but also several other brothers will also participate.

On the fifth day of the race, there was a sea of people outside the Mingde Gate, and today was the day of the Ring City Bicycle Race, and countless people from Chang'an and the surrounding areas rushed here in order to witness the princes of the Tang Dynasty and the demeanor of the lord of Tubo.

"Rokuro, you and your body haven't fully recovered yet, so you don't have to participate this time, right?" Li Ke pushed the bicycle and said to Li Su next to him as he walked. They were surrounded by runners pushing carts to participate in the race, and the total number of people was about 100, and most of the runners who participated in the track race also participated in the round the city bicycle race. In addition, although there were many audiences, Li Ke borrowed the guards from several brothers' palaces to maintain order, so it didn't look particularly messy.

After hearing this, Li Su smiled and said: "Third brother, don't worry, my body is fine, and even if I can't ride the whole race, I must participate in this competition, after all, Songtsen Gampo wants to marry our imperial sister, and I, as an elder brother, have to fight hard no matter what!" ”

"Rokuro's words won my heart!" As soon as Li Su's words fell, he heard someone next to him cheering loudly. The two turned their heads and saw the eldest brother Li Chengqian limping and pushing the car, which made their brother very surprised.

"Brother Huang!" Although Li Su and Li Ke were strange in their hearts, they still greeted each other according to etiquette.

I thought that Li Chengqian would leave with a few polite words, but what I didn't expect was that the other party showed unusual enthusiasm, and walked to the starting line of the game while talking and laughing with Li Su, and stood with them.

"Third brother, sixth brother, why didn't you see the seventh brother and a few of their younger ones, didn't they come to participate in the competition?" Li Chengqian asked casually as if he didn't care.

"Hehe, big brother doesn't know, they are shorter than adults, and ordinary bicycles can't be ridden, so I asked people to make three special ones, and I went to pick up the car just now." When Li Ke said this, he turned his head and just saw Li Yun and Li Zhen walking together, but in addition to Li Yun, Li Zhen, Li Zhi, and Li Shen's bicycles were all pushed by the guards, mainly because they were too short to reach the handlebars when they were standing.

The cars of the four of them have been specially modified, the wheels have not become smaller, and the height of the car has not changed, after all, the wheels are a few more times at the same distance, which consumes a lot of energy, so they use the same wheels as others, which is also stipulated by the competition. Just raise the pedals a little bit so that they are close to the saddle, so that even if their legs are shorter, they can easily pedal.

Li Yun and the others were also stunned when they saw Li Chengqian, but like Li Ke and Li Su, they reacted and immediately stepped forward to salute. And Li Chengqian didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he showed unexpected enthusiasm for his brothers, and even patted Li Zhi and Li Shen on the shoulders cordially, telling them to do what they could, and to quit when they couldn't support it, so don't hurt their bodies.

However, Li Su looked at Li Chengqian's performance, and then looked at the few brothers present, and suddenly came to his senses, he finally understood that his eldest brother the prince had taken the wrong medicine, it turned out that he came for this purpose! (To be continued)
