Chapter 17: Backfire
When approaching, the martial arts platform was full of people standing next to it, mainly the people who stood on both sides of Yunyang Hou and Qingyuan Hou on the opposite side, who came to cheer for their side. There are also the young men of Song Guogong and Qi Guogong, not so much to watch, but to see the jokes of both sides, who loses and who wins has nothing to do with them, it is better to let someone on the side of Yunyang Hou get injured, and it is more beneficial to yourself when you bow in the final.
Due north is a platform built of wood, facing the martial arts platform. In the middle of the platform is the referee's fair seat, because this is a private duel between young people, and the four princes did not come. Among them, there are three richly dressed princes of the family, namely Geng Yuankang, the prince of the Song Kingdom, Shang Congyi, the prince of the Qi Kingdom, and Shang Congjing, the son of Lang Chengjie, the son of the Ministry of War, who have no direct relationship with both sides of the duel, and are invited to come to make a judgment, and the mood seems to be very relaxed, sitting leisurely and waiting for the competition to begin.
The ladies are gathered on the left and right sides of the fair seats on the platform, and there is only one row of seats behind the just seats. Sitting Mrs. Yunyang Hou and the relatives she invited, because Lan Tingshu was not on the scene, Mrs. Yunyang Hou seemed very casual, constantly talking about family life with the left and right, and laughing from time to time. Xia Xunqiu and Lan Tingmei stood behind her, because there were more people, Pu Jialan and Jiaoyu knew only Ah Qi, and the two stood close together and stood far away, and arrived at the edge of the platform.
When it was time for the competition, Geng Yuankang, the son of the older Song Dynasty, read out the rules of the competition: the three liberals on both sides appeared, and whoever won two of the three games won the three-game game, and was not allowed to fight with knives, guns and sticks only with his bare hands, and one side fell to the ground and the other party was not allowed to shoot again, otherwise it would be regarded as a foul, and the person who fell to the ground could continue to play after getting up. In line with the principle of fairness and justice, it is strictly forbidden to use black hands for this purpose, and it is not allowed to hurt people arbitrarily, and if there is a violation, it will not be punished. And after announcing the names of the three notaries, signal that the game can begin.
When Geng Yuankang goes down, the competition officially begins. The two sides stood on the left and right sides of the competition platform, and they both wanted to know who the other party would send to take the lead first, so no one went to the competition platform for a while, and they were all fighting a mental war.
The two sides were at loggerheads, and even the spectators on both sides began to sigh. At this time, Chen Ding, who was on the right of the four heroes of Qingyuan, walked up to the competition platform first, and walked to the far left of the competition platform, and asked: "Who is the first of the four heroes of Yunyang?"
It seems that the four heroes of Yunyang have already arranged the match, seeing that Chen Ding went to the competition platform first, Yao Can jumped on the competition platform, "I'll take the lead!" Please Chen Gongzi to the right!".
Knowing that Chen Dingxian was very calm, he waved his hands, "I'm just here to ask, the four heroes of Qingyuan have come up.".
Yao Can kept staring at Chen Dingxian, and when he looked back, Hu Xiyu had jumped onto the competition platform from the crowd of Qingyuan Marquis on the right, clasped his fists and said, "Hu Mou looks at Yao Gongzi to teach him!", his eyes were staring at himself, and his domineering momentum was not to be underestimated.
Yao Can was dumbfounded, according to Lan Tingshu's deployment, he was against Chen Dingxian or Yang Weibiao, Hu Xiyu was the best martial arts on the other side, of course, Tang Tong was the person who was rolling at the border, and his martial arts would not be worse than Hu Xiyu. The probability of Yao Can's victory against Hu Xiyu is unlikely, but it is too late.
At this time, Chen Dingxian went down directly from the left, smiled and turned back to his own formation on the right. Yao Can's words have been spoken, such as at this time, Yunyang Sijie smashed his face, lost his mind, looked back at Lan Tingshu, Lan Tingshu was also confused by the current situation, seeing Yao Can looking at himself, he had already fallen in love with Chen Dingxian's way, so he could only nod his head and fight. Yao Can saw that Lan Tingshu agreed, his martial arts were not weak, and he also had a battle with Hu Xiyu, so he also hugged his fists, "I hope that Hu Gongzi's men will be merciful!".
The referee waved his hand to announce the start of the competition, and both of them were steady and cautious, for fear that they would show their flaws and let the opponent hit with one blow. After thirty rounds, Yao Can gradually lost the upper hand and was forced into a corner by Hu Xiyu, Hu Xiyu's heavy punch knocked Yao Can to the ground, and Hu Xiyu could only stop the attack and retreat to the center of the tournament.
I saw Tang Tong on the side of Qingyuan Sixiong shaking his head and laughing, and Yang Weibiao on the side asked, "What is Brother Tang laughing at?".
Tang Tong said strangely: "Before falling to the ground, take the opportunity to kick it, and Yao Can will fall out of the ring, it's a pity!".
Yang Weibiao thought to himself that Tang Tong was right, it is difficult to do it if he is not strong in martial arts or has been on the battlefield for a long time, it seems that Tang Tong belongs to one of these two types of people.
Yao Can stood up and came to the center of the stage with some twisting, and the game continued, this time Yao Can obviously only had the ability to parry, and had no power to fight back. In less than fifteen rounds, he was kicked to the ground by Hu Xiyu. Yao Can still stood up, and his movements were slower than the first time, and he was obviously injured.
Geng Yuankang, the prince of the Song Kingdom, is also a person who practices martial arts, Yao Can is obviously not an opponent, he stood up and shouted: "Yao Gongzi admit defeat!" If you go down again, the injury will be more serious!", but Yao Can stubbornly walked to the center of the stage, vowing not to admit defeat and still fight again.
At this time, a voice came, "Hu Gongzi! Be careful that the other party wins your sympathy and defeats you with a ruthless hand!", everyone saw that Tang Tong, who was full of fierce faces, was instigating.
This was a bit cruel to others, but for Hu Xiyu, he was a wake-up call, and immediately put away his pity, raised his mental persistence to fight, and knocked the other party down again. The referee asked Yao Can if he gave up the game, and Yao Can shook his head. The referee had to wave the game on. In less than eight rounds, he was knocked to the ground by a flying kick from Hu Xiyu. The referee asked Yao Can if he had lost, and Yao Can stood up tenaciously without answering.
Chen Dingxian couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted at Lan Tingshu, "Young Master Lan! Victory or defeat is so important, don't you even want your brother's life?", Lan Tingshu is not a ruthless person, he also wants Yao Can to admit defeat by himself, but he knows Yao Can's temperament too well, Chen Dingxian shouted like this and threw the spearhead to him.
couldn't fight anymore, Lan Tingshu immediately jumped on the stage and raised his hand, "We lost this time!", stepped forward to help Yao Can to help him down, Yao Can couldn't stand it, and said loudly: "I still want to fight!".
Lan Tingshu scolded loudly: "There is a bow tournament in the future, you have to lie down for a month or two if you continue to fight, how can you participate in the competition?", Yao Can saw that Lan Tingshu was reasonable, so he helped him to step down. Qingyuan Hou saw that the enthusiasm was high, the first Qingyuan Four Heroes won, and the deployment of the Yunyang Four Heroes before the game was all disrupted, and it seemed that they had to be redeployed.
In the second game, Yang Weibiao, who did not wait for the four heroes of Yunyang to play, jumped directly on the competition platform. Lan Tingshu didn't dare to send Hao Jun on the field, both of them were the weakest on both sides, Yunyang Sijie couldn't afford to lose, so he could only send the strongest He Xiong to play.
Yang Weibiao clenched his fists and grinned, "I hope that Brother He's subordinates will be merciful!".
Na Zhihe Xiong didn't appreciate it, and shouted loudly, "Don't talk nonsense!" Let's get started!".
As soon as the referee started, He Xiong punched hard, forcing Yang Weibiao to retreat again and again, and suddenly Yang Weibiao fell to the right, fell to the ground, rolled to the center of the stage, and stood up. Again and again. Such a shameful method of escaping, how can it not make people laugh.
He Xiong had never seen such a shameless martial artist, so he turned around angrily and chased to the center of the stage, and was about to strike again, when Yang Weibiao suddenly sat down and struck the ground three times in a row, and the people who were still laughing just now immediately showed a shocked expression.
He Xiong was also overwhelmed by everything at the moment, he didn't use all his strength at all, and the other party admitted defeat without surprise. The referee immediately shouted: "Yang Weibiao admits defeat, He Xiongsheng wins!".
Yang Weibiao stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said loudly to He Xiong: "Obviously not an opponent, I won't be as stupid as Yao Can, I will be beaten all over my body, you should be more interesting in the next game, otherwise Hao Jun will be beaten and can't get up!", the voice was so loud that the people below heard it, especially the people of Yunyang Sijie, this is a great shame, and turned the corner defiantly and said that Qingyuan Sixiong is for you to play, and you have to lose in the end, just don't let you lose so ugly.
