Chapter 1 Recruiting Relatives by Competition
"Who else is not afraid of death? Just come up! ”
In the ring in the center of the city, the man in black stood leisurely, with a green silk tied behind his head at will, looking a little messy, not very clear in appearance, his voice was not angry and arrogant, his eyes were a little angry, full of bullies, no, no, no, it should be more scary than the usual bullies.
However, there are a few people from other places in every town, such as now, a few people feel unconvinced after hearing his words, so they go on stage to challenge.
The people in the audience couldn't help but mourn silently for these outsiders, and they didn't inquire about the dangerous people in advance when they came to Qiyue City to play, this person on the stage was not only the owner of the gambling house, but also the hooligan leader of the city!
Huo Jiulin has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he can see at a glance that these people who come to challenge have a few catties and a few taels, and they can easily get it done, and the three successes are enough.
"Isn't it? Then Lao Tzu is..."
"Wait."
There was a weak voice in the crowd suddenly, Huo Jiulin turned around with some confusion, as if he was a little suspicious that he was having auditory hallucinations, was someone speaking just now?
"And me."
Huo Jiulin opened his eyes and took a closer look, only to find that there was a scholar standing directly below the high platform, looking soft and weak, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.
"You?"
Could it be that it is hidden?
"Yes."
Although the scholar looked weak, he spoke very firmly.
"Okay, then hurry up, let's fight quickly!"
The scholar looked at the high platform, then looked around, and finally walked up from the steps to the far left, Huo Jiulin was a little speechless, just like this, still fighting in the ring?
Huo Jiulin scratched his ears, he really couldn't get excited to fight with this kind of scholar who could shoot away with a wave of his hand.
"I said, is there anyone under you who wants to challenge? Why don't you just go together? ”
After asking for a while, no one came forward, too, those from other places have been taught a bad lesson, where would this local dare to provoke the bully.
"Then it's just you, do you want a weapon?"
The scholar looked at the weapon shelf next to him, walked over and looked carefully, and finally chose a wooden stick, Huo Jiulin raised his eyebrows and smiled, hehe, he probably could handle this stick, the rest of the weapons were so big, any one could crush him to death.
"Let's make a move!"
The scholar took a deep breath a little nervously, and then swung out the stick with all his might, Huo Jiulin twitched the corner of his mouth, what is the lethality of this style of play? Are he sure he's not here to be funny?
A little tired of dodging the attack of the stick, Huo Jiulin was thinking about whether to make a move against such a weak scholar, the scholar would only swing the stick around, and Huo Jiulin kept dodging.
If he slapped him later, would he slap him to death?
"Cousin......"
The woman in the green shirt asked the man in white sitting next to her for help with some concern, and the man in white signaled her to be calm, and then looked at the two who were fighting, a touch of cunning flashed in her eyes, and shouted: "The surname Huo, what are you here to make trouble?!" ”
Huo Jiulin avoided a stick and smiled at the man in white: "Aqing, when I finish solving this last nerd, I will marry you home!" ”
He pointed to the scholar who was panting against the stick, and the man in white, who was also the rumored Shen Yiqing, the third son of Shen, did not have much expression on his face.
"I remember I warned you not to appear in front of me in the future!"
"How can that work, but you are really, since you have figured out that you are going to get married, why do you have to engage in any competition to recruit relatives, how troublesome, Lao Tzu has come to the door so many times, and you don't agree!"
"Who said it was for me? I'm a big man, what kind of martial arts competition to recruit relatives! ”
Huo Jiulin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shen Yiqing with some confusion: "Isn't it true that whoever wins can marry you?" ”
"Ridiculous, this competition is set up for my cousin, and the person who wins will naturally marry my cousin, what does it have to do with me?!"
Huo Jiulin opened his mouth and was speechless, and then glared at the little beggar in the crowd: "Small! Insect! Child! ”
Just now, this little beggar rushed to the gambling house to report to him that Shen Sangongzi was going to set up a ring to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives, and the little beggar replied with a sad face:
"I'm sorry, Brother Jiu, I really heard it just now that it was the ring of the third son of Shenjiabao!"
Huo Jiulin tried his best to clench his fists, at this time the scholar was just resting, he really couldn't figure out why he couldn't touch Huo Jiulin no matter how he fought, but he couldn't lose, so he took a deep breath, picked up the stick with all his strength and swung it towards Huo Jiulin.
"I'm not going to lose!!"
He shouted loudly while waving his stick, Huo Jiulin had a headache, and he simply didn't bother to hide, thinking that this nerd didn't have much strength, and he should be beaten with a stick......
"Bang", the stick swung directly from the right side and hit Huo Jiulin's right face, Huo Jiulin screamed and stumbled and fell directly off the high platform, and everyone in the audience hurriedly got out of the way.
"Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu, are you okay?"
Huo Jiulin sat on the ground and shook his head, why did this dead nerd suddenly become so strong, he felt that his brain was clouded, and his ears rang loudly, he didn't spit blood in his mouth completely by relying on deep internal strength!
Shen Yiqing didn't seem to expect that he would really be hit, so he stood up in shock and looked under the high platform, only to see Huo Jiulin sitting on the ground with one hand covering his right cheek, his expression seemed to be very painful.
"I... I won? ”
Scholar Meng Yu himself was a little incredulous, Shen Yuanlong, the owner of Shenjiabao Fort, now his face was difficult to see, Lu Qiu was the daughter of his younger brother of the Lu family, and his parents were gone when he was ten years old, so the Lu family took the lonely Lu Qiu to Shenjiabao, and lived for six years, and he had already regarded Lu Qiu as his daughter, thinking of helping her find a good family.
But I don't know what's going on, she still fell in love with this poor scholar who was powerless, Shen Yuanlong didn't agree, so he specially prepared this competition to recruit relatives.
Regarding Huo Jiulin, who came out to make trouble, Shen Yuanlong also had a headache, he was simply a Xiaoqiang who couldn't be killed, and he also asked a matchmaker to come to Shenjiabao to propose marriage three or four times, but the object of this proposal was still his own youngest son, which was ridiculous!
He had sent many of his men to deal with the little gangsters, but the men he sent out came back with bruised noses and swollen faces, and they all lost an arm.
Over time, no one dared to go, and he himself was the lord of Shenjiabao Castle, and it was really unreasonable for him to deal with a gangster, so he could only turn a blind eye.
Shen Yuanlong stood up and left with a black face, Lu Qiu said happily when he saw this: "This time it's thanks to my cousin." ”
"Why don't you go and see how your stupid scholar is!"
Lu Qiu lowered his head and smiled a little shyly, and then ran to Meng Yu's side, Meng Yu also looked at her excitedly, and the audience suddenly applauded when they saw this, it is better to marry a scholar than to marry a bully who has been ruined, and a certain 'bully' in everyone's hearts is really quite desolate sitting on the ground.
Shen Yiqing stepped down from the high platform and came to him, Huo Jiulin raised his head and looked at him with some pity: "You calculate me!" ”
Seeing this situation, he didn't need to ask, and he knew that Shen Yiqing deliberately let people tell the little insect that it was his own ring to recruit relatives, because he knew that Huo Jiulin would definitely come to make trouble in this way, and they must have arranged in advance for the scholars to go on after seeing Huo Jiulin coming and fighting until no one dared to get on.
So no matter what the situation is, as long as Shen Yiqing lets Huo Jiulin know in a timely manner that the object of this competition is not him, Huo Jiulin will definitely take the initiative to abstain, then the scholar will be the winner.
Shen Yiqing smiled without saying a word, turned around and left with his hands behind his back, Huo Jiulin saw this and hurriedly got up and followed, rubbing his right cheek and asking pitifully:
"Aqing, my head is stunned, and you don't comfort me?"
"You came here on your own, what do you have to do with me?!"
Shen Sangongzi was as cold and ruthless as ever, and he didn't show the slightest guilt at all about calculating the Huo bully, and his words still didn't have any warmth.
"That's not your trick!"
"You can choose not to come."
"How can it be done, how can Lao Tzu's daughter-in-law let it be given to others!"
Shen Yiqing stopped and looked at Huo Jiulin, the expression on his face suddenly became very serious: "I warn you, surnamed Huo, don't provoke me again in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!" ”
"Wow, you're obviously crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and besides, you can't beat me!"
"Hmph, I can't beat you alone, it doesn't mean that the entire Shenjiabao can't beat you, if I really want to deal with you, I have my own way, so you'd better get acquainted!"
"What's wrong with me? When I first arrived in Qiyue City three years ago, I didn't have anything, and I didn't deserve you, but now I am the owner of the gambling house, and I have money, and I can definitely afford to support you! ”
Shen Yiqing closed his eyes with a little headache, and then opened them: "Do you understand me?!" We're both men, no way! ”
"What's wrong with the two men?!"
"I, Shen Yiqing, will never like a man, you will die of this heart."
In fact, Huo Jiulin didn't know how many times he had been warned about these words in the past three years, so he didn't feel much anymore, his left ear went in and his right ear went out, anyway, he had already decided that the person in front of him was his daughter-in-law, and he had to marry him no matter what!
Seeing that there was a sugar gourd seller next to him, he took two strings and didn't give money, and the vendor who sold the sugar gourd saw that it was Huo Bully, so he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he could only think that he was unlucky and walked away.
"Here, taste."
Shen Yiqing couldn't bear to look directly at his banditry behavior, and walked forward without saying a word, Huo Jiulin followed.
"It's delicious, Aqing, you wait for me!"
Huo Jiulin chased him with a sugar gourd for a long time and didn't see any response from him, feeling a little helpless, why hasn't there been any progress in the past three years, he still seems to hate himself as always, no, it should be said that he hates himself more than he met for the first time three years ago!
But no matter how much trouble he makes, he will chase people down in the end!
"Shen Yiqing, Lao Tzu will marry you in this life, and one day he will marry you home!"
Huo Jiulin stood on the street and shouted, the passers-by around him stopped to look at the two of them, and the sound of discussion gradually started, and Shen Yiqing, who was walking in front, stiffened, turned around and glared at the culprit behind him with an angry face.
A certain culprit also sighed proudly in his heart: Tut-tut, his daughter-in-law is so good-looking even when she is angry!
