Chapter 4: Martial Arts Competition in Front of the Palace (2)

Zhu Tao, a sweet-looking little girl, lives a simple and boring life on weekdays, is cautious in front of her master, and never dares to talk too much. But in private, she is a little girl who loves to gossip, and she has already told Su Bottle about Princess Changxia. But Su Bottle didn't care very much, because the day Princess Fan died, maybe it was when the sixth lady abolished the marriage, and then he wouldn't be able to see An Guogong's wife Xuxian.

As for whether the princess is tall or short, beautiful or ugly, with body fragrance, or with fox odor, these have nothing to do with the passer-by in the courtyard of Miss Six.

Su Bottle stood alone in the corner, his mood gradually stabilized, watching the fight in the ring. In a few moments, Su Bei had found the weaknesses and flaws of the Khitan warriors. Su Bei also found that the masters of the Tang family who were competing on the stage at this time had also discovered the weaknesses of the Khitan warriors. But every time the Tang family master attacks the opponent's weakness, he always feels that he is missing a little bit of speed. The speed has kept up, and the strength is a little worse. You can't always knock the opponent down, giving people the feeling that the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, or the end of the crossbow.

If it was a little faster and a little stronger, the Tang family master would win, but it was just a little bit that made them helpless. In the face of the nine-foot-tall behemoth, the Tang master was in danger many times, and from time to time he ate a few hammer-like fists of Khitan warriors, and was beaten to the ground, saliva, blood, and front teeth splashed from time to time.

Perhaps, this is the fate of the warriors. Since you choose to be a martial artist and eat the bowl of martial arts, you have to endure this pain, and you can't back down. Unless they don't want to mess around in the Tang family anymore.

At this time, Zhu Tao ran over, I don't know where she heard the news, and muttered beside her uncle: "There are three such Khitan warriors, known as the third, fourth and fifth masters of the Liao Kingdom." Today's wheel battle in Tangfu is to fight against three against ten. This contest was agreed by the emperor, if the Tang clan could not fight three Khitan warriors with ten people, Princess Changxia would remarry Fanbang. ”

"Oh..."

Su Bei let out a noncommittal "oh", obviously he was skeptical of the statement "third, fourth, fifth", but he didn't say anything to Zhu Tao.

Zhu Tao pouted and said, "I guess, the emperor must be unwilling to marry the princess to them, and the emperor also believes that the Tang clan will not be invincible to three." ”

"Well, I think so too." Su Bottle nodded in agreement.

"But if the Tang clan really loses, what can be done......" Zhu Tao was anxious, and her little face turned red.

If the war is really defeated, marrying the princess far away to Fanbang will not only be a shame for the Tang clan, but the entire Great Liang Dynasty will feel disgraced. Looking at Zhu Tao's anxious appearance, it's a pity that she doesn't know martial arts, otherwise she would have to go up to compare.

But Su Bottle didn't look like he was in a hurry. And soon he "forgot" about the humiliation he had just received. At least in the eyes of the baby-faced Zhu Tao, this son-in-law and aunt have no temper.

Of course, the little maid couldn't understand that in the young skin in front of her, the soul of a middle-aged giant businessman was wrapped. Just imagine, if a middle-aged giant businessman who has created a business empire shows the impulse of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man, I am afraid it is even more inappropriate. Not to mention temper, even the way of thinking is not exactly the same. He has more to think about than just the word "emotion".

If a person is middle-aged and is still swayed by emotions, it can be said that this person is true temperament, or it can be said that he is too willful.

Of course, there are many ways to live, and there is no need to argue about high or low. Being able to control emotions is a skill; If you can't control your emotions, you don't necessarily can't become a strong person.

There are many factors that determine the success or failure of human life, and some people are naturally qualified to be capricious. Perhaps, the parents are high-ranking officials and have huge family assets; Maybe people are talented in some way, and God appreciates food.

But Su Bottle can control his emotions, even if the anger in his heart rolls, he can do it quietly. In his opinion, "temper" is used for performance, a tool for expression. It's like a kitchen knife, you use it when cooking, and you don't need to carry it when you go shopping, otherwise it's easy to get yourself into trouble.

"Is this Brother Baoyuxian?"

There was another Tang master on the stage, the battle was in full swing on the stage, Su Bottle watched carefully, heard a familiar voice behind him, turned his head and saw that it was Wuwei Sima Lintong and his adjutant Zhang Hu.

In the past, the Su family was in Wuwei and was the richest man, so they were naturally familiar with local officials. When the Hu people broke through Zhangye and killed Wuwei, the Su family got the news and moved their family. And Lin Tong and Zhang Hu, as Wuwei guards, stayed there to fight with the Hu people.

Wu Wei lost, thinking that the two of them had died in battle, but he didn't expect to meet them in Qinghuafang.

Su Bei hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Brother Kang Nian and Brother Zhucheng, I didn't expect to see the two of you here." ”

The two returned the salute and greeted them simply, Lin Tong smiled ashamedly and said: "Wuwei has few soldiers, and I can't bear it for a few days, so I got an order from An Guogong to give up Wuwei, and we will lead the troops to withdraw to Chang'an." On the way to retreat, we were intercepted by the Hu people, and the two of us fought to the death to escape. But I was hit by an arrow in the waist, and he was hit by two arrows in the shoulder and neck. It's a great fate to survive. Isn't this coming back to recuperate? ”

Just now, the two of them tried their best to stand upright, but now they don't pretend, one is covering their waists and the other is crooked their necks.

"The two benevolent brothers will be blessed if they don't die in a big disaster." Su Bottle said with relief.

"Borrow the good words of my brother." Lin Tong smiled.

Zhang Hu, who was tall, said angrily: "Some time ago, I heard that Miss Six was married, and I also heard that the groom's surname was Su, and we were chatting at that time, could it be the Wuwei Su family." But the Guogong Mansion didn't send an invitation, and it was not easy for me and other vulgar people to go rashly, so I didn't go to celebrate Brother Baoyu. It's better like this, this competition is over, and our brothers will go to the Drunken Immortal Building to have a drink. Alas, I don't have any money, Brother Kang Nian has money, let Kang Nian have a treat. ”

Lin Tong raised his eyebrows, covered his waist, turned around with difficulty, and scolded with a smile: "You Zhang Hu, a good person made you do it, but I became a big wrongdoer?" ”

Zhang Hu laughed twice, pulled the wound, covered his neck and grinned. Lin Tong and Su Bottle looked at each other and laughed.

"A bunch of waste, I can't see the key, and I still have the heart to laugh at such a time!" Just when Su Bottle and Lin Tong were laughing, they heard the sixth lady Tang Mei scolding sharply.

At this time, Tang Yun, the eighth lady who was sitting not far away, said: "My sister just reprimanded her own family, why bother to take our family?" Although our Lin Kangnian is not a first-class general, he does not lose the word 'loyalty'. This time in the battle of Wuwei, he almost lost his life. Such a loyal and brave person can't tolerate his sister calling him a waste. ”

Eighth Miss Tang Yun is Lin Tong's wife.

Lin Tong's father, Lin Geng, one of the three tiger generals of the "Shence Army", and the right-hand man of Tang Qiong, the Duke of Anguo. Therefore, it is not surprising that Lin Tong can marry the princess of the Guogong Mansion.

Tang Yun passed the Lin family when she was fourteen years old, Lin Tong was eight years older than her, and she was married for three years, and the relationship has always been very good. Although the Lin family is not a traditional nobleman, Miss Eight does not look at Lin Tong shallowly, and when she heard Tang Mei say that, Tang Yun immediately refuted.

Hearing the eighth sister's blunt rebuttal, Tang Mei pointed out: "Eat things inside and outside, it's your turn to teach me?" Is there still filial piety in my heart? Have you forgotten all about "Tang's Family Law"? ”

Hearing Tang Mei move out of the "family law", Eighth Miss Tang Yun no longer spoke, but there was a ball of resentment on her little face, but she couldn't hide it.

The girls of the Tang family are relatively tall, and most of them have the characteristics of long eyebrows, high noses, and deep eyes. It is said that this was caused by Tang Yu's ancestor Tang Yu marrying a Uighur princess during his westward expedition. The genes are powerful and have an impact to this day.

As a young general, Lin Tong's temper is not as good as Su Bei's, and when he heard the reprimand, his face changed abruptly. Turning around, he looked at the bottle. Su Bottle is still the same, looking calm and relaxed. It was as if I hadn't heard the reprimand.

At this time, the sixth master of the Tang family was also ousted. This time, the Khitan warrior hit very hard, and he smashed his fist into the heart of the Tang master, and Su Bei even heard the sound of broken bones. And that Tang master is still Lin Tong's clansman, and he saw Lin Tong stomp his feet.

The laughter of the Khitan warrior came from the stage again, the nine-foot-tall and muscular man, with his arms like iron shafts, showed off his might, and shouted in his mouth, "Central Plains people, do you dare to come to the competition?" If you don't dare, then please marry Princess Changxia to our six princes of Daliao! ”

Hearing this, Lin Tong and Zhang Hu were so angry that they gritted their teeth and rubbed their hands.

Zhang Hu suddenly thought of something, and said loudly: "Brother Baoyu is good at kung fu, why don't you go up and try it?" ”

Wow, I can't hide it.

Although Lin Tong was annoyed, he was more mature and calm than Zhang Hu. He also knew that Su Bottle's martial arts were good, but Su Bottle didn't take the initiative to ask for help, and he wouldn't shout nonsense.

But Zhang Hu is different, this fool is simple-minded, straightforward and fast-talking, and his voice is like a bell. He shouted out at a loud voice, and the whole people on the high platform heard it.
