Chapter 21 People fight for a stick of incense
This night, Han Fu'er lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, until the horn of the fifth watch sounded outside the window, and then she closed her eyes in a daze, but the dream was full of Han Chuang's blood, standing in front of her.
I don't know how long it took, the maid knocked on the door and told her to get up, she hastily freshened up, walked out of the room, and met Han Zhuangbei with a sad face.
Han Fu'er bowed and said, "Did you find Brother Chuang?" ”
Han Zhuangbei's eyebrows tightened, and he shook his head and said, "Not yet, I have sent all the children of the Han family to search for a hundred miles, but I still haven't found any trace of Han Chuang, I'm afraid-"
Although Han Zhuangbei has not finished speaking, the meaning is obvious.
Han Fu'er said: "Impossible! Brother Chuang will definitely escape from that man's hands, didn't we find his body either? By the way, what did Daddy say?"
Han Chuang was attacked, but Han Dongshan's attitude was extremely strange, neither indignant nor panicked, as if he had expected it, and he looked confident.
Han Zhuang Beidao: "The head of the family said, 'It's okay, Han Chuang will appear when the time comes', do you think the head of the house knows something?"
Han Fu'er said in her heart: "How can Daddy know this, he loves Brother Chuang very much, and I'm afraid he is pretending to be calm at the moment." But he said: "Maybe, Daddy may believe Brother Chuang, and we should believe it too." ”
She looked up at the sky, the morning sun had risen, up to mid-air, not far from noon, so she said: "It's not early, let's go to the venue first, if Brother Chuang is okay, he will appear on time." ”
Although Han Fu'er usually laughs, she is very serious when she is serious, and she makes such a decision, which really lives up to the name of the eldest daughter of the Han family, and Han Zhuangbei, who is watching, nodded secretly, thinking: "It would be nice if Han Chuang could have this kind of demeanor." ”
At this moment, the white clouds were clustered together, the sun flashed white light from behind the clouds, and the eastern sky instantly dimmed.
Han Fu'er stared at the sky in the distance, and thought silently in her heart: "I hope God bless my Han family." ”
The Han family and his entourage came to the riverside venue, and the lawns on both sides were already full of spectators, whether they were young and strong men, the elderly and children, or even the little daughters-in-law who did not leave home on weekdays, they all stretched their necks at this time, stared at the central ring, and waited for the arrival of the final competition of the annual meeting.
In their eyes, the annual meeting of the two Han Lin families is just a competition to highlight the new atmosphere of the New Year, but in fact, the annual meeting determines the right of the Han and Lin families to speak in Yunzhou in the future.
The two heads of the family sat on the rostrum early, and Han Dongshan did not have any discoloration because of Han Chuang's disappearance, but sat as steady as Mount Tai, as if nothing had happened.
On the contrary, Lin Donghua, who was sitting next to him, looked a little abnormal, when the Han family entered, his eyes quickly swept over, and when he saw that there was no Han Chuang, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a voice: "Brother Dongshan, the annual meeting of the two Han and Lin families has reached the last one, but I didn't expect the ending to be Han Chuang vs. Lin Jiangxue, which of the two of them do you think is stronger." ”
Han Dongshan smiled slightly, glanced at Lin Donghua with slanted eyes, and replied: "Didn't Brother Donghua ask knowingly? Although my son was lucky enough to break into the finals, he didn't have a martial soul, and he couldn't cheer him up after all, or your daughter is more powerful, Qingluan Feifeng, that's the legendary martial soul." ”
Lin Donghua's eyes were slit, and he secretly scolded the "old fox", and said with a smile: "Brother Dongshan has a good reputation, your family's Han Chuang is much beyond my expectations, I thought he couldn't pass the two levels of Lin Yue and Lin Feng, but I didn't expect that not only did he pass, but he also made it all the way to the finals, he is really an unpredictable dark horse," his eyes swept over Zhao Hanxiao, who was sitting on the side, closing his eyes and recuperating, "Am I right, Brother Hanxiao." ”
Zhao Hanxiao opened his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Of course, the children of the two are both dragons and phoenixes among people, but it's a pity that my Luoxia Sect doesn't have this blessing and can't accommodate the two." After speaking, his eyes fell on Lin Jiangxue.
Han Dongshan was surprised: "Isn't Lin Jiangxue from the Luoxia Sect?"
Zhao Hanxiao smiled bitterly and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Dongshan, Lin Jiangxue should have been a disciple of my Luoxia Sect, but there were some mistakes in it, hey, it's also that my Luoxia Sect can't tolerate this great god." ”
Han Dongshan nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment, Lin Donghua opened his mouth and said: "Two, I don't think it's too early, let's start the competition first." ”
Zhao Hanxiao looked at the sky, glanced at Han Dongshan again, and after getting his approval, he stood up, made a gesture to the Quartet, and said loudly:
"Thank you for the flash link, watching the Yunzhou Han Lin annual meeting, contemptible Zhao Hanxiao, invited by the patriarch of the two clans, to add to the judgment of the annual meeting of the two clans, it is really exhaustive, do not dare to have the slightest carelessness; fortunately, there is only one last game left in the annual meeting today, by the Han family Han Chuang against the Lin family Lin Jiangxue, here I Zhao Hanxiao will not say much, I hope that the two people on the field can play wonderful, in order to entertain everyone's eyes and ears, and I also hope that the two Han and Lin families on the field will cooperate more and work together to create the glory of my Yunzhou, and now there are two people who are invited to the decisive battle!"
Accompanied by a long and deep horn, Lin Jiangxue, who was dressed in white, held the yaoqin in her hand, and Shi Shiran walked into the ring, but she saw her eyebrows locked, her steps were lotus, and she was graceful and graceful, like a delicate narcissus who was weak and unwinded, which made people feel pity.
As soon as the servant appeared on the stage, the crowd broke out into a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
When Zhao Hanxiao saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that my No. 1 beauty in Yunzhou is really popular, if the old man can be twenty years younger, he will definitely not be this Taoist priest." ”
The audience laughed and said: "You should continue to be a Taoist priest, the first beauty in Yunzhou is not something you can covet." ”
Zhao Hanxiao said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the old man is old, and it depends on you young people." Now I have to invite Han Jiahan to come to power!"
The horn sounded, but Han Chuang was not seen for a long time, and the audience couldn't help but cheer: "Is the kid of the Han family afraid to fight?"
"Yes, I don't think I'm hiding and afraid to go on stage. ”
"Yes, yes, in the previous battle, except for the one with Han Fu'er, Lin Jiangxue has never made a second move, I'm afraid Han Chuang knows that he is invincible and hides. ”
......
Zhao Hanxiao pressed his hands weakly, signaled the audience to be quiet, and then asked loudly: "Can Han Chuang of the Han family be there?"
Han Zhuangbei stood up with a flushed face, and said hesitantly: "Han Chuang, Han Chuang has not yet arrived, Xu has some changes." ”
Zhao Hanxiao recognized that this old man with a dragon head crutch and a gray beard was Han Zhuangbei, the great elder of the Han family, but even if it was Han Dongshan, he might not really take it in his eyes, his face was pale, and he shouted: "So Han Chuang has not arrived, right?"
Han Zhuangbei was glared at by this look, and couldn't help but lose his momentum, and said resignedly: "Yes~"
Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Zhao Hanxiao: "The annual meeting of the two clans, how solemn, if Han Chuang has not arrived, don't blame me for directly announcing Lin Jiangxue's victory." ”
Seeing this scene, Han Fu'er in the audience couldn't help but shout: "Elder Zhao, what you said is not bad, only my brother Chuang did have something to do, and he failed to come on time, but so many viewers at the scene came for this competition, but directly judged the defeat, it is too hasty, it is better to wait for him, it is not impossible." ”
The audience on the sidelines didn't care what kind of elder Zhao Hanxiao was of the Luoxia Sect, so they shouted: "Yes, yes, it's easy to have a martial arts competition, it's okay to wait!"
"Ridiculous!" Zhao Hanxiao said sharply, "I was invited by the two clans to be the notarization of the annual meeting, how could I break the rules! If Han Chuang doesn't show up again, I will directly announce that he is negative." ”
In the audience, there was another round of noise, but Zhao Hanxiao just didn't listen.
On the rostrum, Lin Donghua's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Brother Dongshan, it seems that the first annual meeting of the two clans was won by my Lin family. ”
Han Dongshan's face remained unchanged, and he said unhurriedly: "Until the last moment, everything is still unknown. He stood up and said loudly to Zhao Hanxiao: "Elder Zhao, as far as I know, according to the practice of martial arts, if one person arrives on time, it should be limited to one stick of incense.
Zhao Hanxiao thought for a while and said, "Yes, but don't forget that the head of the Han family is an annual meeting, not an ordinary martial arts competition." ”
Han Dongshan waved his hand, and then said, "Of course I know that this is not an ordinary martial arts competition, but what if the other party to the competition also agrees to act according to this rule?"
The smile stiffened on Zhao Hanxiao's face, he coughed dryly twice, and said, "If the Lin family has no objections, of course I will not stop it." ”
These words are high-sounding, but everyone knows that Lin Donghua will not agree. The Lin family has been suppressed by the Han family in Yunzhou for too long, and it is easy for an opportunity to turn over, how could he miss it.
A smile had already appeared on Lin Donghua's face, and he was thinking about how to make a high-sounding conclusion for this matter, but was interrupted by Han Dongshan.
The head of the Han family, the most powerful person in Yunzhou, stood up and said loudly to Lin Jiangxue in the ring: "Lin Jiangxue, the time for the competition has come, but Han Chuang has not yet arrived, are you willing to follow the rules and wait for him to have a stick of incense." ”
Lin Donghua's face changed, and he secretly said "Oops", staring at Lin Jiangxue in the ring with his eyes, only hoping to hear the veto from the mouth of this daughter who was no longer under his control;
"At Uncle Han's orders, I have no objection. ”
Lin Jiangxue's voice fell into the hearts of everyone present like a pearl falling on a jade plate, and there were leisurely ripples in the bottom of their hearts, different people have different feelings; ordinary viewers only felt that Lin Jiangxue was graceful, but Han Fuer and others changed their views on Lin Jiangxue; Han Dongshan nodded as if he had expected it, and two obvious moon grooves appeared at the corners of his mouth.
On the other hand, Lin Jiangxue's father, Lin Donghua, looked defeated.
Zhao Hanxiao's eyes swept away, and he saw everyone's thousands of postures in his eyes, and finally fell on Lin Jiangxue, even according to his indifferent character, he had to look at Lin Jiangxue's atmosphere differently.
He got up again and said loudly: "Since there is no objection from the two families, then follow the rules of the competition." Someone, give me the incense burner!"
Several strong men came out in response, and carried out an incense burner carved with dragon and phoenix patterns from behind, and put it in the ring, Zhao Hanxiao personally took a three-foot long incense, lit it and threw it at the incense burner, and the long incense was steadily inserted into the incense burner without any shaking.
"The time for a stick of incense starts now. Zhao Hanxiao glanced at Han Dongshan deeply and said.
