Chapter 23: The Battle of the Martial Ghost Valley
"Third child, have you read today's newspaper? Is the Datang Gold Medal List still No. 1 now? How many gold medals are there now? ”
"Hey, how can our Datang gold medal list not be the first, the newspaper in the middle of today just said that the number of gold medals is thirty-one, far more than the four gold medals of the second place Tubo, the total number of medals I Datang is also far ahead, and now the Western Turks, who are in second place, have only fifteen medals in total, and my Datang now has ninety-one medals, and no one can catch up with the status."
"Ha, that's great! I heard this afternoon that there are the last few games, and after the event, it will be the closing ceremony, but unfortunately I didn't buy tickets. ”
"I have exactly two here, and I still asked someone to ask for them from the yamen, do you want them, I'll sell you one cheaply."
"That's great! How much?! ”
"Brother won't kill you, a fixed price, a ten taels of silver tickets."
"Good! Deal! ”……
During the Wanbang Games, the streets and alleys of Chang'an talked about only the topic of the Games, Chang'an, the century-old city seems to be revitalized again, full of excited people, everywhere is full of vitality.
The scorching heat of midsummer cannot erase the Tang people's curiosity about new things, and the ranking of the number of medals and gold medals in the Datang Dynasty that is regularly updated in each issue of "Datang News" has become a matter of conversation among the people.
Not only that, there are also many historical sports competitions that have gone down in history, such as the polo match of the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks, and the football match between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, all of which are widely spread among the people.
When it comes to the Games, there are many people in later generations who don't know what it means, except that many cities are striving to host this kind of global scale. Large-scale sporting events. But they don't know it. The world influence and huge business opportunities that a sports event brings to a city.
Now on Chang'an Avenue, you can see foreigners everywhere, after seeing such a prosperous empire, many barbarian chieftains no longer miss their hometown, they have expressed to Li Er that they are willing to stay in the Tang Empire forever, here to defend the dearest and greatest Li Er, for the barbarian this kind of happy behavior. Li Er not only did not object, but also welcomed them very much, appointing them as the generals of the garrison on the periphery of the palace, and the chieftains of the four sides to defend Chang'an City......
This afternoon will be held the last few games of the World Games, wrestling, javelin throwing, free fighting and cycling competitions, it can be said that in addition to the javelin throwing, there is not much to watch, the other three are very interesting, especially the bicycle competition, this sport was not originally included in the World Games events. However, because Cheng Chumo and his gentlemen used to like to hold bicycle competitions here, they are also well-known. In the end, Xu Yang held the idea of winning one more gold medal and joined the sport.
After lunch, Li Er and the leaders of various countries arrived at the gymnasium early, and did a good job in their seats, which lasted for four whole days, which also made them a little tired, but after the game this afternoon, the Wanbang Games was about to end, but they were a little reluctant to watch such a grand event, and no one in this era could refuse its charm......
Lying lazily on the recliner, taking the coffee handed over by the maidservant, Li Er took a sip, to be honest, he didn't have much affection for this drink made of cocoa beans shipped from South America, but this thing is more refreshing than drinking tea, so sometimes when he is very sleepy but can't take a break, he always likes to have a cup of this drink called coffee, which can quickly refresh his mind.
"How's the preparation?" Li Er took another sip of coffee, then sat up straight, and asked Bai Mei on the side.
"Back to His Majesty, the athletes have already arrived, according to His Majesty's instructions, this time in the free fighting sport, we secretly sent three martial arts masters of the Hundred Cavalry Division, presumably it must be the chance to win, but this wrestling, due to the scarcity of candidates, so only two strong men came to the East Palace."
"Hmm." Li Er nodded with satisfaction, "How is the project of javelin throwing arranged?" I am not worried about the bicycle competition, the four princes of Chang'an have held bicycle races every year for so many years, and they will definitely win the gold medal, the only thing I am worried about now is this javelin throwing, I heard Xu Yang say, this requires strong arm strength, can there be volunteers in the East Palace? ”
Bai Mei's body bent more and more respectfully, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, this time I heard that the people who participated in the javelin throwing are all ...... of the grenade team of the Chengguan Garrison Team......
"Smack!" A simple downpercut hit hit a two-meter-tall man in the jaw, and then a huge figure fell to the square-shaped stone ring with a "bump" sound.
"Ten!" "Nine!" "Eight!" ...... "Two! "One!" I declare the Datang; Chen Hu wins! "In the ring, a referee in a standard Tang costume raised the hand of a middle-aged man in a samurai suit.
The middle-aged man had a cold look in his eyes, and he couldn't see the slightest joy, as if defeating the big man in front of him was not something to achieve, just like crushing an ant to death, not sad or happy.
However, when he stepped out of the ring, he suddenly turned his head suddenly, his eyes were looking at something very jealously, and he could see a young man in a dark blue man looking at him with a smile, it was Han Yanxuan.
Frowning, the middle-aged man glanced at Han Yanxuan with gloomy eyes, that person would actually make him feel a trace of fear, could it be said that serving as a guard of the Hundred Cavalry Division in the palace made his feelings degrade? The middle-aged man shook his head, stopped caring about Han Yanxuan, and walked down on his own...... The free fighting of the first Wanbang Games can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations, and the last to enter the semi-finals are all Datang people, and the way they entered the semi-finals is surprisingly similar, all of them knocked out their opponents with one punch in the previous game, which almost did not make Songtsen Gampo and Tuli Khan drop their jaws, if one is okay, but all four people are like this, this can no longer be said to be the luck of the Tang people, it can only be said that their strength has been so strong that it is incomprehensible.
In this free fighting, each country still had great expectations, and they all sent out some of the best masters in their own countries, but in the territory of the Tang Kingdom, these masters are like a little chicken being pinched at will in front of the Tang players, without the slightest resistance, and it also makes the heads of various countries feel cold, if these people come to assassinate themselves in the middle of the night, they must not be able to prevent it......
Li Er stared at the two people facing each other in the ring with interest, one was dressed in a black robe, and the other was a dark blue hero, Li Er recognized them, and one was the director of the Hundred Cavalry Division: known as the guard of Xuanwu, when he raised troops against Sui, Li Er occasionally saved him who was seriously injured, and later after he was injured, Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chi Gong joined forces to fight with him and couldn't hurt him at all, which also made Li Er shocked him, and secretly placed him as a commander in the Hundred Cavalry Division, I heard him say that he traveled all over the country in his early years and learned martial arts all over the world. There are no more than ten people in this world who can defeat him.
Han Yanxuan is a disciple of Guigu, Xu Yang's fellow senior brother, Li Er is also very curious about how high his strength is, today he can let Xuanwu try his level, Li Er has sat up straight with excitement at some point, staring at the stone ring.
Xu Yang rarely saw Han Yanxuan's serious expression, he didn't need to participate in free fighting, he won gold medals in the long jump and high jump, and Xu Yang's gentleman's agreement to win two gold medals has been realized, this time he can come to participate in free fighting, it is entirely because he heard that Li Er arranged a master in the world, and his hands are itchy to come up to learn......
"You're a master." Han Yanxuan stared at the man in black in front of him, and said with some excitement in his tone, people like him will always have a kind of sympathetic appreciation in the face of strong people.
"I heard that you are the Martial Ghost Valley?" Although the voice of the man in black was cold, it was also mixed with a hint of excitement.
"Well, exactly." Han Yanxuan said lightly.
"I've heard that the martial arts of Guigu are unique in the world, so let me come and learn from you today!" As soon as the man in black finished speaking, the whole person was in a trance in the ring like a ghost...... (To be continued......)
