In the blink of an eye, the next day came.

Bao Jun led twenty or thirty civil servants and five hundred soldiers to the contest.

The competition ground is an old martial arts arena on the border of Shu Bao.

About an hour, when they arrived at the place of the competition, the Shu people had not arrived.

Bao Jun lined up the Bao soldiers holding Changge on his side and sat in the middle.

The crowd sat around.

When Long Zixi saw that there were three big men following behind Bao Jun, he knew that they must be recruited warriors.

After a while, in the sound of musical instruments, the Lord of Shu led more than twenty people into the arena, followed by a wind band, there were fifty or sixty people, which was more than the number of warrior envoys.

After that, it was also a 500-strong army.

Long Zixi saw that there were also three men behind the lord of Shu, one was tall and mighty, one was short and slender, the other was slender and long, slightly hunchbacked, and his face was yellow like a sick ghost.

Based on experience, it was judged that among the three, the slender hunchback had the highest martial arts, and the tall one had the greatest strength.

But seeing that the Shu people were all arrogant, they were arrogant, and they walked into the scene loudly.

After the two sides saw each other, they sat down facing each other, and in the middle was an empty field for the competition.

The Lord of Shu shouted loudly:

"Since ancient times, the land has been owned by my Shu Kingdom, but later it was subordinated to the Zhou royal family.

"I was supposed to crusade against Er and others, but the widow was merciful and couldn't bear to increase the troops, so I thought of a way to compete with each other.

"Then Lord, are you ready for this year?"

Bao Jun Dao:

"Gossip. Is this the beginning of the comparison? ”

The main road of Shu:

"I think the master already knows that this year's competition is different from previous years.

"If you lose again, you will have to obey the widow in the future.

"Because of the importance of the matter, the widow decided to play a total of three games this year.

"The first is wrestling, the second is wrestling, and the third is martial arts. Is it clear? ”

The compliment lord said loudly:

"It's a hundred competitions, is it really a loss to you? But the widow also wants you to make a guarantee, if you lose, you will not be harassed in the future! ”

The Shu lord laughed "haha":

"That's nature. It's just that after two years of comparison, you haven't won once, listening to Your Majesty's tone, is there any god who has come to the world this year? ”

The Shu people all laughed.

The Lord of Praise suppressed his anger and said:

"To win or not to win, you can know by comparison. Send someone down! ”

109

A gong sounded, and the first wrestling match began.

The short man on the Shu side got off the field, spit out a portal, and then turned over a few times in a row, standing steadily, and the Shu people behind cheered.

Here is a big man who got off the field, and he did a few difficult actions in a row, and he also won a round of applause.

The two didn't say much, twisted each other and exchanged hands.

Although Long Zixi saw that the big man was a head taller than the other party, his body was not dexterous enough.

Look at the short man again, his steps are nimble, turning left and right, and after a while, the big man will be shaken unsteadily.

The big man wanted to be anxious, he couldn't swallow the little man in a mouthful of water, and wanted to grab the opponent several times, but he didn't know that he was committing a taboo.

I saw that the little man deliberately showed a flaw and lured the big man to grab his right arm, and the big man was really fooled.

While the big man was grasping and unstable, the little man suddenly turned around and shrank under the armpit of the big man, shouted, carried the big man up at once, turned around twice, and threw the big man far away and fell to the ground with a bang.

The Shu people laughed, and there was a sigh here.

Long Zixi shook his head regretfully, and saw that Bao Jun Tie had a blue face and didn't say a word.

Then came the second wrestling.

After the gong sounded, the big man on the other side got off the field, but some attendants had already nailed more than a dozen bowl-thick wooden stakes in the field.

The big man waved at the soldiers here, called a few soldiers to come down, and asked them to push the stake.

A few praise soldiers tried their best, but where could they push?

But when I saw the big man "hehe" sneering, roaring, flying over, "popping" all the way to slap his palm, knocking down all the wooden stakes, everyone was surprised.

The great man told his attendants to nail the stakes again, and exclaimed:

"Which one are you waiting to try?"

Bao Jun turned his face to the two big men behind him, but the two looked at each other, showing timidity, and no one moved.

Seeing that Bao Jun's face was even greener, one of them reluctantly took a step forward, and was about to speak, but Long Zixi stopped him and smiled at Hua Dining:

"Wait! Brother Hua, you are the best at chopping wood, why don't you give it a try? ”

Hearing this, Bao Jun said:

"Is it really okay for Hua Zhuangshi?"

Hua Dining Road:

"Although the grass people do not know martial arts, they are quite skilled in cutting down trees. Let's let the grass people try it. ”

Said the end of the game.

I saw Hua Dining take a look at the row of wooden stakes, suddenly flew up his right leg, and kicked all the way, only to hear the loud sound, and actually kicked all the wooden stakes off.

Everyone was shocked, followed by a cheer, and even some people on the Shu side couldn't help but shout.

When the big man saw this, he was angry and said:

"Okay, let's compare whose strength is greater!"

Suddenly, he pounced straight at Huadining.

Hua Dining kicked off the stake, thinking that this was the end of the comparison, but who knew that the big man suddenly pounced.

Hua Dining had little experience in dealing with the enemy, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Seeing that the big man was about to grab his arm, in a hurry, he flew up his right leg and kicked on the big man's leg, only to hear the sound of "plop" on the ground, the big man screamed, his left leg was broken early, and he couldn't stand up again.

The crowd applauded again.

Several Shu people hurriedly went down and carried the big man down, and Hua Dining flew back to his team.

Seeing that he had won this game, Bao Jun was in a good mood, and nodded again and again at Hua Dining.

Then he shouted at the Lord of Shu:

"Now each wins one game, this last one is the decisive victory, send someone out quickly!"

The slender man on the other side slowly stood up, came to the middle of the field, and said:

"Unexpectedly, this year has made some progress. In Xia Nai, the military envoy of the Shu State, the low position is low, and he has learned a few hands and three-legged cat kung fu, I don't know which master will teach? ”

As soon as Long Zixi heard the man's voice, he was full of energy, and when he saw the deep internal strength, he knew that he had to do it, so he untied the sword and handed it to Hua Dining, and said casually:

"I'll ask for advice from below!"

said, without waiting for Baojun's consent, he had already jumped off the field.

Bao Jun knew that the soldier and horse envoy was the head of the army of Shu, not only was his official position not low, but also how could he have learned a few hands and three-legged cat kung fu?

Seeing that Long Zixi was thin and not tall, although he heard that he was extraordinary in martial arts, he was also at a loss after all.

Hua Dining has seen Long Zixi's magic skills, if in normal times, he is full of confidence, but at this time, he suddenly remembered that he didn't know if his injuries were all healed, and he couldn't help but be secretly worried.

The slender man saw Long Zixi, although he was thin and small, but his bearing was extraordinary, and he knew that the other party's martial arts were strong, and said slowly:

"This little brother, I don't know what official position he is?"

Long Zixi smiled:

"It's just a subordinate in the Baojun Mansion, so how can he have any position?"

The slender man shook his head, apparently in disbelief.

But he didn't dare to despise it in his heart.

The two looked at each other for a while, and suddenly they were in one place, and most of them didn't see how the two of them made a move.

As soon as the two of them fought each other, they both knew that the other party was a first-class master.

At the moment, I used all the strength I had learned in my life to put it right, and in a blink of an eye, more than 60 moves had been dismantled.

Bao Jun never expected this inconspicuous young man to be so powerful, and he couldn't help but stand up.

When the people here saw Bao Jun standing up, they all stood up.

After looking at it for a while, I also felt that it was a tense and exciting fight, and I couldn't help but stand up.

Longzi thought while fighting:

"No wonder I have lost for two years in a row, there are not many such masters."

After fighting for more than thirty times, the slender man suddenly shouted:

"Stay."

Long Zixi smiled:

"How?"

Hanzi said:

"It's hard for us to distinguish the winner from the loser in our fists and feet, so it's better to compare weapons again."

With a gesture of his right hand, one of his attendants handed over a steel fork.

Long Zixi returned to Hua Dining and took the long sword.

When the man saw that the sword was wide and long, he was secretly frightened and asked:

"Your Excellency...... The recently world-famous Long Shaoxia? ”

Long Zixi smiled:

"I can't imagine that Shu is also known to be a cheap name, but I can't afford to be famous in the world."

The man regretted it in his heart, he knew that this young man was Long Zixi, where would he test weapons with him?

He only said that this person was not good at weapons, and he saw that it was difficult to win with his fists and feet, so he proposed to test weapons, but he did not expect that this person was an expert in using weapons.

There is no way back at the moment, and my heart says that I have been immersed in this fork for more than 20 years, and I may not lose to you.

The two didn't talk to each other, and they fought together again in an instant.

This time the fight was different, but seeing that the steel fork was heavy, the long sword was light, and the two weapons were entangled and flying, everyone was already stunned.

Long Zixi fought very well, and after fifty or sixty rounds, he suddenly changed his moves, and it was the sword shaking technique again.

This is Long Zixi's true talent and learning, and he is very good, Rao is a man with superb martial arts, how can he parry?

The man gradually fell behind.

After fighting for more than 20 times, the dragon son west sword flower shook to the man's face door, the man raised a fork to parry, the sword flower fell, but attacked the next three roads, the man's steel fork moved down and struggled to resist, but the upper body leaned forward, revealing the flaws early.

Long Zixi saw the opportunity, slapped out his left palm, and hit him in the chest, and the man stumbled and almost fell.

Long Zixi put away his sword and said with a smile:

"Concession."

The man looked ashamed, but he glanced at Long Zixi with admiration, and closed the fork.

The Shu lord obviously didn't expect this result, his face was blue for a while, white for a while, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Bao Jun was overjoyed and said loudly:

"Then the Shu people, can you take it?"

The Shu Lord's face suddenly turned red, and he said:

"Okay, you won this year, and we'll compete again next year."

After speaking, with a wave of his hand, the group hurriedly walked out of the martial arts arena.

This time, it was disgraced and the music could not be heard.

Everyone here cheered together, and there were also those who loudly coaxed the Shu people.

Bao Jun was full of joy and nodded again and again.

The Shu envoy was leaving, and Bao Jun was just about to give the order to return to the city, when suddenly, there was a bang, and the ambush was everywhere.

But it turned out that the Shu soldiers were ambushed in advance, wanting to be unfavorable to Baojun.

But I saw twenty or thirty chariots around, and one or two thousand soldiers behind them, all of them came to attack together, and there were even arrows "whooshing" and shooting indiscriminately, and there were many soldiers who were hit by arrows.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the guards hugged Baojun and got into the chariot.

Long Zixi and Hua Dining got on their horses and then escorted.

But there was already a Shu chariot in front of him, separated the guards, and first cut down the chauffeur of Baojun, and the horse neighed and ran wildly, and more than a dozen halberds stabbed at Baojun's chariot.

Long Zixi screamed badly, first sent a dart to knock a few enemies off the horse, and then hurried a few steps on the horse, saw it clearly, flew and jumped on the chariot, the long sword shook away, and a few halberds were swinged.

It turned out that ordinary chariots only had a body baffle around the perimeter, and there was no cover, and the baffle was waist-high, which was convenient for the soldiers on the vehicle to attack the enemy, but it was also easy to be attacked.

However, Baojun's car has both a surrounding baffle and a canopy, except for the windows and front doors, everything else is one.

Except for the coachman, there was no place for the guards to stand outside the car, and the guards usually rode horses to protect the sides.

More than a dozen halberds stabbed just now, but they were covered by the car, and Long Zixi arrived in time, Bao Jun only injured his right arm and escaped with his life.

At this time, Hua Dining also arrived.

Long Zixi shouted:

"Big brother, come and drive!"

Hua Dining gave a few lashes, and when his horse and carriage were parallel, he jumped on the carriage and grabbed the reins.

There was already a halberd stabbing at Huadining.

In desperation, Hua Dining grabbed the tip of the halberd with his left hand and kicked the man in the head with his right foot.

The horse neighed and fell to the ground, and the man on the horse snatched it headlong under the cart.

At this time, Long Zixi's long sword shook off, although it protected the vital point of the car box, but because the car body was too big, where could it be taken care of?

A few more darts were fired, injuring a few enemies.

Touching his arms again, the darts have run out.

There is another one, the sword is short and the halberd is long, it is difficult to hurt the enemy, and there are arrows around, so I have to protect the body of the car, but it is difficult to save Baojun from danger for a while.

But seeing more than a dozen enemies driving horses around the chariot and fighting, Long Zixi's white horse also galloped with the chariot, shouting "Boom".

In the midst of the crisis, General Qu led a team of guards to open a bloody road and catch up.

The crowd fought hard and finally routed the enemy around the chariot, but a dozen chariots chased after them, but a squad of civilian officers and a large group of infantry were cut off.

Long Zixi shouted:

"General Qu protects the monarch and leaves first, I'll go to block the chasing soldiers, and then save people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped on his horse from the roof of the car, grabbed the reins, turned the horse's head and rushed back.

Without fear, Long Zixi was able to exert his skills, and those who were either killed or injured.

When the enemy saw a small boy holding a long sword, he was extremely brave, and they were all shocked.

At this moment, the dust and smoke were everywhere not far away, and another group of men and horses came to kill, but it was Bao Hongde who led the soldiers to arrive.

The two sides scuffled.

The Shu soldiers saw that Baojun had fled, and the other party's reinforcements arrived again, and Mingjin withdrew.

The soldiers did not pursue but withdrew.

111

That night, Baojun had a banquet and music and dance.

Long Zixi and Hua Dining were both arranged on the right side closest to Bao Jun, and they were highly valued.

Although he injured his right arm, he was fine.

After three rounds of drinking, Bao Jun got up and went to:

"It's a pleasure that we won today's contest. Although he was ambushed by the enemy, he escaped and returned. You say, which one has the most credit? ”

Everyone looked at Long Zixi and Hua Dining, and shouted in unison:

"Long Zixi and Hua Dining!"

Bao Jun Dao:

"Not bad. These two strong men also saved their wives a few days ago, and today they have saved the widows and officials. Come, let's toast two strong men together! ”

Everyone cheered and toasted to each other.

Long Zixi and Hua Di Ning showed humility to everyone.

Bao Jun put down the wine cup and said to Longzixi:

"Would you two like to serve here?"

Before the two could answer, General Qu stepped forward and said:

"If I can have two strong men to help, why am I afraid of harassment by Shu dogs? Humble and courageous, please ask the monarch to give officials to retain. ”

Bao Jun laughed and said:

"Okay, I'll give Hua Dining as the commander of the troops."

Hua Dining Road:

"How big is this?"

Humane:

"It's the same official as General Qu, commanding a hundred people. What's the matter, is Hua Zhuangshi still too young? ”

Everyone laughed.

Hua Dining was embarrassed. Road:

"I'm just asking, but how can I be an official here?"

Bao Jun glanced at Hua Dining, ignored him, and said:

"Give the Dragon Zixi Shaoxia Junfu Guard!"

Although the secretary of guard of the Junfu is not a military attaché, only those who are strong in martial arts and have won the trust of the monarch can hold it, and he has a special status.

Baojun has arranged this way, it is obvious that he has taken Long Zixi as a cronie, and Long Zixi's future future is limitless.

Everyone didn't expect Bao Jun to take this little boy so seriously, they were first surprised, and then cheered.

General Qu was even more overjoyed, and Chong Longzixi frequently bowed his hand to celebrate.

Long Zixi was embarrassed, waited for the voices to subside, got up and said:

"Thanks to the monarch's love, he is so important to the grass people.

"The grass people dared to tell the monarch, but it was difficult to obey their fate.

"Although the grass people have some kung fu, they are vulgar, how to be officials?

"On the other hand, the grass people have an important business that has not yet been completed.

"I hope that the monarch will be fulfilled!"

When Bao Jun heard this, the smile on his face disappeared.

The crowd was silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Bao Hongde hurriedly got up and said:

"Father, according to the opinion of the cheap man, since the young man has important things to do, it is better to let him do it, and when he is done, it is not too late to come back and take office."

Bao Jun Dao:

"Well, that's it."

Hua Dining also wanted to speak, but Long Zixi stopped him and bowed deeply to Baojun:

"Thank you, Monarch. Just ask Brother Hua to stay here, and the grass people will finish their work and come to help the monarch. ”

The night party.

But because Long Zixi resigned in public, Baojun was not very happy.

Xi San, the two returned to the next place, Hua Dining complained:

"Why doesn't the brother let the eldest brother speak? My brother is not here, what is my eldest brother doing here alone? The eldest brother is going to go with the brother. ”

Longzi West Road:

"The future of the younger brother is uncertain, and I don't know how long it will be delayed.

"Big brother and peace of mind here, it is also a good future for such a big brother to praise you.

"When my brother is done with things, he will come to see his eldest brother.

"Perhaps, having the eldest brother leading the troops here will be extremely helpful to the younger brother in the future."

How could Hua Dining agree, but it was Long Zixi who repeatedly persuaded Hua Dining to agree, but said:

"Brother must think about coming to see Big Brother!"

Longzi West Road:

"Don't worry, big brother, little brother will definitely come to see you. The eldest brother doesn't want the younger brother, and the younger brother still misses the eldest brother! ”

Hua Dining suddenly said:

"Brother, I want you and me to marry Jin Lan, are you willing?"

Ryuko Nishi Daiki:

"Brother has long had this intention, why didn't the eldest brother say it earlier!"

At that moment, the two of them knelt down on all fours, worshiped the heavens and the earth, and said something like "I don't want to be born in the same year and month, but only to die in the same year and month", and became brothers with different surnames.

After worshipping, the two got up and talked for a while, and they were reluctant to rely on each other.
