Chapter 32 Fan Hao made a big fuss in the martial arts arena
One day in October of the 37th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang, as soon as the sky was brightened, there were hurried and scattered figures on the streets of Peixian County, and those who opened shops also opened the doors and windows of their shops in turn. After a while, the sun rose, and the streets gradually became lively, and today is the day of the heroes and heroes of Pei County. There are hundreds of athletes with unique skills in the county, and they have come to participate in this martial arts event at this time. The men, women and children under the city gate all helped the old and the young to come, some of them rode horses, some sat in sedan chairs, some rode in cars, some came to participate in the competition, some came to join in the fun, some came to set up stalls to mess up the time, plus some provincial relatives and friends, the street was simply full of traffic, and it was very lively.
The children of those rich and noble families, they also rode tall horses, wore beautiful clothes, and looked very spirited; And those children of poor families also try their best to dress themselves up differently from ordinary people. The flow of people poured into the center of the square in Pei County, and all the people were enthusiastic and happy at this time, and they all wanted to witness today's martial arts competition. In a short period of time, thousands of people had already gathered in the city. The square in Peixian County is the place where the people gather, and it is also the occasion for the burning of books in the past.
The west side of the square is the main platform, in the middle of the main platform sits the county commander Zhao Feng, and on the left is Xiao He, Cao Shen, Wei Cai, Ren Ao, Cao Shang, Cao Wuxian, Leng Er and other officials; Sitting on the right hand are Wan Qitu, Feng Wu, Peng Zu, Liu Ji, Wei Wuze, Xu Li, Ji Xin, Wei Hao and others, all of whom are brightly dressed and bright. The heralds, halberds, flag bearers, and starters in the audience were also full of joy and joy. The officers on duty all stood majestically on both sides with their hands on their hips. The pennants on both sides are waving in the wind, and in the shadow of the pennant, drummers, gong players, and trumpeters stand on standby. About a few dozen meters in front of the main stage is a jousting ring made of wooden planks. The ring is connected to the main stage, and the red carpet is spread on it, like the morning glow. The platform is three meters high, and there is also a red carpet around it, on which stands a circle of halberd officials, and around it is a 20-meter-wide circular field, and on the periphery of the circular field, there are spectators, in short, every corner of the square is crowded with people.
Time was running out, and the race began. First, the herald stepped onto the main stage and loudly announced the rules of the game, saying: "Today's game is a match-and-match elimination system. In a two-person fight, one side knocks the other out of power to win. The winner stays on the stage and continues to challenge the next strong man, and so on, until the last person is today's Wu Kui. The prefectural magistrate will appoint him as a prisoner! As soon as the herald had finished speaking, drums were beaten on both sides of the main podium, and trumpets were sounded together.
I saw a young man in red and a young man in white appeared one after another, and the two jumped into the ring. The starter walked up to the main podium and gave the order: "The game begins." The two on the stage waved each other, and then began to fight. The two fought for more than a dozen rounds, and the young man in red knocked the young man in white out of the ring. The starter ran up to the stage and raised a red flag to announce: "The boy in red wins!" Then he shouted to the audience: "Which strong man will challenge again?" At this time, a black-faced man jumped out of the middle of the field, and as soon as he turned over and jumped onto the stage, he exchanged hands with the young man in red. After three or five rounds, the black-faced man knocked over the red-clothed boy, and the black man was ruthless, grabbed the boy and threw him off the stage. The starter hurriedly shouted: "Don't hurt his life!" This action annoyed the other big fat man waiting in the audience, and he jumped on the stage with a scream without waiting for the starter to finish speaking, and used his power to knock the black man down with a heavy fist. It was the way of using the other person to control the body of the person, and he kicked the person off the stage without mercy. The starter hurriedly raised the red flag and said: "The strong man is extraordinary, which hero in the audience dares to fight him?" No one appeared for a while, and the big fat man was triumphant.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Hey! Fat pig, don't be complacent, Grandpa Gao is here! Everyone followed the sound and saw a burly man wearing a red brocade robe, jumping up from the stage with a strong force. It turned out that this person's name was Gao Guan, he was a wicked young man in Chen Zhuang in Shangyang, Pei County, because his uncle Gao Ping served as the county supervisor of Surabaya County, and he was rampant in the township. He jumped onto the stage, like a crow landing, and stood firmly in the middle of the platform, looking like a good effort. Then he made a move of a tiger out of the forest, and pounced on the big fat man, trying to end the battle with one move. The big fat man hurriedly flashed, and a kettle was drawn, and the reverse high ran away. Gao Guan hurriedly jumped up, one foot high, jumped over the fat man's head, and dodged the heavy blow. The two fought with all their might, and after thirty rounds of fighting, the fat man gradually became weaker. Gao Guan looked at the target and kicked him off the stage. The onlookers erupted in loud cheers. Gao Guan's face was full of flesh, like a fierce god, he defeated several heroes in a row, and no one in the audience dared to go up to compete. Gao Guan saw that no one dared to go up, and he was even more arrogant, shouting: "Who dares to duel!" The starter raised the red flag high and said complacently: "If no one plays, this hero will be today's Wu Kui!" Xiao He stood up and looked around, he couldn't see Zhou Bo, and he was very anxious.
At this time, the starter was about to read Wu Kui, when suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "Wait a minute, let me try!" Xiao He was very happy when he saw Zhou Bo coming. Most of the children of Peixian County didn't know him, and when they saw him in blue clothes, they looked at him with contempt, and from time to time they made mocking criticisms. Zhou Bo didn't care what others said, he jumped onto the stage with a flying body, and then waved at Gao Guan. Gao Guan looked at Zhou Bo's appearance, it was like seeing a big bear, so he laughed wildly: "Hillbilly, are you also here to compete?" Zhou Bo replied: "Xiaomin also wants to try, please make the hero first." Gao Guan wanted to get off the horse, so he swung his iron fist and slammed Zhou Bo's head with a five-thunder move. Zhou Bo only tilted his body to the right and dodged, but as a result, Gao Guan used too much force and pounced, and his body lost its center of gravity and went straight ahead. Zhou Bo took advantage of the situation to rush out of his left elbow, and with a hard push, Gao Guan rushed down from the ring with inertia, and a dog ate and fell to the ground. There was cheering all around.
Gao Guan fell unconscious and couldn't get up, when several people ran over from the crowd to help him up. Gao Guan was dizzy, crooked his mouth like a fool, drooping and dripping, only to feel that half of his face was numb, his brain was buzzing like a honeycomb, his nosebleeds were pouring like a waterfall, and Venus was shining in front of him, as if there was a fireworks party. The onlookers cheered in unison. After a long time, Gao Guan came to his senses, and the embarrassment prompted him to be ashamed and angry, and suddenly with a shout, about dozens of thugs rushed out of the crowd, all of them holding sharp blades, and Gao Guan rushed to the stage with them. The halberd officer couldn't stop it, and there was chaos in the audience. Gao Guan came to the stage and pointed at Zhou Bo and scolded: "Where did the wild bastard come from, I don't know what to do, take it for Lao Tzu!" After saying that, the gangsters rushed forward and tied up Zhou Bo. Zhou Bo was originally a foreigner, and when he saw that he was a local snake, how could he dare to resist, so he had to swallow his anger and hang his head at their mercy.
The surrounding people rushed to the ring, and the county magistrate hurriedly asked the county lieutenant: "What kind of immortal is this kid?" How dare you be so presumptuous? The county lieutenant replied: "His name is Gao Guan, and he is a wicked young man in Chenzhuang in Shangyangli in this county. When the county commander heard this, he was furious and said to the county lieutenant: "Why didn't you arrest him earlier?" The county lieutenant said, "Your Excellency, you don't know that he is so arrogant because of his uncle." Zhao Feng asked him who his uncle was. The county lieutenant replied: "It's the county supervisor Gao Ping." Zhao Feng stopped talking. Xiao He said: "No matter who his uncle is, now he is making a big fuss in the school, and the crime is not small, so take the opportunity to capture him and eliminate harm for the people with the law of the country." Cao Shen said: "What Lord Xiao said is true! This kid is too arrogant, I'll take it down, it's no effort! Zhao Feng, the county commander, said hesitantly: "That's not good, what should I do if the county supervisor knows?" Cao Shen said: "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone him!" ”
While he was talking, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the audience: "Bah! Harm the people and thieves, deceive people too much! Everyone followed the sound and saw that the crowd was split in half like a wave in front of a boat, and a strong man jumped out of the middle, rushed to the ring, jumped up to the stage with one arrow step, pointed at Gao Guan and shouted: "Bah! Thief of the people, thou hast deceived too much! If I don't beat you up today, grandpa won't be surnamed Fan! After scolding, he threw all those gangsters off the stage one by one, and then went to untie Zhou Bo. Gao Guan was furious, pointed at the strong man and asked, "Which way are you an immortal who dares to take care of grandpa's affairs?" The strong man gritted his teeth and said: "People call it 'evil man'!" When Gao Guan heard that it was Fan Xu, he was secretly surprised in his heart, thinking that this person could slaughter cattle alone, could it be that he was also here to fight, I was afraid that he was not an opponent, so he smiled and said: "It turned out to be Fan Xu's virtuous brother, I have been looking up for a long time!" Fan Hao spat on the ground and scolded: "Dogs are not as good as things, and they are also worthy of being called grandpa a virtuous brother." You are obviously defeated by others, why do you still take people? Do you have what it takes to come and get me? When Gao Guan heard this, his face was red and purple, and he stood on the stage in a dilemma. At this time, the audience in the audience said in unison: "Fight, fight, have the ability to fight, why don't you dare to do it?" Gao Guan was really difficult to ride a tiger, and said angrily: "I know you are a man, today we don't interfere with the river water, I will give Wu Kui to you, and we will go our own way!" Fan Xu sneered: "Today is the competition for Wu Kui, only dogs will slip away with their tails between their legs!" Gao Guan was furious and said: "The surname Fan, don't think that I am afraid of you, you are a butcher, and you dare to spread wild here?" Let you taste grandpa's fist today! As he spoke, he made a move. Fan Xu stepped forward and raised his fists to greet each other, and the two of them passed two moves. Fan Xu used a few sweeping legs one after another, Gao Guan jumped up and turned around a few times to dodge, he thought that Fan Xu was nothing more than that, so he laughed and said: "The surname Fan, don't toast and don't eat and drink, let you know how powerful your grandfather is today!" As he spoke, he was ready to make a ruthless move. Fan Xu sneered, and suddenly another flying leg swept over, Gao Guan jumped in the air as usual, who knew that Fan Xu's kick was a false move, and he didn't sweep over, but stopped his foot under Gao Guan's body, and then a second kick, first got up with his left foot, and then flew up with his right foot to kick Gao Guan who was falling, and kicked out two feet away. At this time, because of the chaos, the crowd had already gathered in front of the ring, and Gao Guan couldn't be found in the crowd. The rest of the gangsters saw that the momentum was not right, and they all dispersed in a hurry.
Only then did Fan Hao step forward to untie Zhou Bo's rope, and Zhou Bo said gratefully: "Thank you for saving the man." Fan Hao picked up Zhou Bo and said, "I am a butcher, killing pigs and dogs, and beating wicked people." What's your name and where are you from? Zhou Bo replied: "My name is Zhou Bo, an extrovert, I came to Guixian because I joined my relatives, because I like to play guns and sticks since I was a child, and I have learned some martial arts. I saw a good man just now, Wu Kui is none other than you, so I will leave, we will have a date later. Zhou Bo said and turned around and left. Fan Hao grabbed Zhou Bo and said, "Hey! I'm here to fight, it's only because of that thing that bullying that I made a move. How can you kill pigs on an errand in the county government? I'm not going to run errands at the government's office, don't get me wrong. Just as the two were talking, Zhao Feng, Xiao He, Wan Qitu, Cao Shen and others all gathered around the stage.
