373. Two tigers compete

"Hahaha...... It turned out that Mr. Thomson came to our Central Plains civilization. To tell you the truth, the history, culture, religion, military, and the search for rivers and mountains and customs of our Central Plains are inexhaustible oceans. If you wish, I can send someone to escort you around the Central Plains. What do you think? ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. You, in China, have an ancient saying, called 'Read ten thousand volumes, books, travel, ten thousand miles, road, friendship, world, friends.'" 'So, before we, yet, travel, the Central Plains, think, much, study, a little, your country, the books, and the customs, and the etiquette. ”

"Good! You can do it yourself. However, I will also send the Hanlin Scholar to show you the Imperial Letters of State. ”

However, William Tomso

Then he stumbled and said: "In your country, the customs, etiquette, aspects, family traditions, and etiquette have three outlines, five constants, three subordinates, and four virtues. Although, so, still, inevitably, there are people, speculating, drilling camps, stealing chickens, touching dogs, officials, protecting each other, occupying, wives, as well as painting the spring palace, making obscene books, men and women, cheating, adultery, secret prostitution, despicable, deeds, indeed, your country, etiquette, among them, great, shameful! ”

"Bold—" I only heard the scream of a man or a woman, "I have always known righteousness and law-abiding and guarded myself, how can I be like what you say?!" ”

"Whoa! ......" The Son of Heaven stopped the old eunuch again and said, "Let him finish!" ”

So, William Tomso

continued: "Actually, before and after my trip to the Central Plains, I have studied the history of your country, the climate, and the people. All the way, above, there, what you see, what you hear. For example, the military, melee, murder, arson, people, fleeing, blocking roads, robbing, robbing, raping, people's women, gathering crowds, gambling, stealing, stealing, prostitution, prostitution,...... What's more, there must be adulterers, adulteresses, brothels, and black shops. If not, I and, Zhenni, Miss, Huidian, China, martial arts, plus, time, beware, I'm afraid that we, this time, the Central Plains, trip, will not see, Your Majesty, you. ”

"Is there such a thing?! ......" The Son of Heaven felt dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that this Mr. Thomson from the Netherlands, who was only a newcomer to the Central Plains Dynasty, had already seen the chaos of the world so incisively and thoroughly, and saw through the evil and darkness in the world that should be rectified and eliminated as a true dragon emperor. As the Son of Heaven, he gave orders in the inner hall of the palace all day long, trying to stop the current warlord melee and martial arts killing, where did he think that the evil and darkness in the world he only knew a little bit; The greater conspiracy and the darkness and sinister may not have been discovered by him yet. It should be admitted that what Mr. Thomson said is exactly the facts of the world, and it should be said that it is a national shame and a national hatred. How can he, who was once a son of heaven, sit comfortably on the throne of this emperor? How can he be worthy of the people of the world and the civil and military officials? It seems that one day, he will go out of the palace, go deep into the people, make private interviews, observe the people's feelings, and get rid of the traitors and evil tyrants, promote justice in the world, and spread grace and light to the world. Thinking of this, Cheng Fugui secretly made up his mind and said:

"Thank you, Mr. Thomson, for your advice. As the head of a nation, how can I let this happen? Not only will I send civil and military officials to punish this matter, but if there is an opportunity, I will also travel in a small way to investigate and secretly visit, so as to nip the evil things in the world in the bud as much as possible! ”

“Good! Good! Ve

good This is what Your Majesty does, wisely! ”

William Tomso

Just after praising him like this, I saw a royal guard come forward and report: "Your Majesty! The three of them asked to see each other outside the palace in Taibao! ”

"Oh! …… Which three? Cheng Fugui couldn't help asking.

"Back to the emperor! They are none other than Ye Jiaquan, Ma Delong, and Zuo Renlong. ”

"It's them! …… Hurry up, please! The Son of Heaven immediately passed down the parable.

"Yes!" The guard took the order.

In a moment, the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth Taibao entered in shifts.

At this time, I saw the eleventh Taibao come out to report: "Your Majesty! The mission of the three of us has been completed, and we are here to return to our lives. ”

"Hmmm! How's the battle going? The Son of Heaven asked in public.

So, Ye Jiaquan, the "Seeking Destiny Taibao", continued: "General Yang Neng has quelled the rebellion of Dongfang Bi, and Dongfang Bi was captured alive. ”

"Good!" The Son of Heaven is happy, and said: "The teacher is a great victory, and the fame is great!" The three of you will be rewarded for your hard work! ”

As soon as the Son of Heaven said this, he looked up and suddenly saw Shen Taiji coming in a hurry. Suddenly, Cheng Fugui knew in his heart that he would definitely do what Qi Zhen sent.

Sure enough, as expected by the Son of Heaven, the "Shenxing Taibao" entered the front and reported: "Your Majesty! The minister has already summoned all the Ouchi masters and chess forest masters. Please ask the emperor to command! ”

"Good! Invite them in at once. ”

"Yes!" Shen Taiji was ordered to leave the temple.

After a while, the "Shenxing Taibao" led many civil and military officials into the palace in a procession.

"Hahaha...... Ladies and gentlemen, please see-" The Son of Heaven was full of energy, proudly pointing to a group of good players led into the hall by the Divine Taibao, and introduced to the two exotic couples, "This is my master of the Hanlin Chess Academy and the Ouchi Martial Arts. In order to help the fun, I invite them to use a little skill, please enjoy one or two, I don't know what you think? ”

“Ve

y good! V e

y good! ” William Tomso

Immediately clapped his hands in agreement.

"ょし (yo suck). ょし (yo absorb). I saw that Sato Hirokawa also stood up and approved, "It is really a blessing to be able to appreciate the quintessence of your country here, and it is worth the trip." ”

"Good! In that case, please sit back and enjoy the ranks. After the Son of Heaven finished speaking, he gave the "Shenxing Taibao" a look. Shen Taiji understood, and then stepped forward, arching his hand and saluting: "In Xia Shen Taiji, it is the palace brocade guard." In order to welcome the arrival of foreign guests, Shen Mou performed a little trick here and performed a set of Tai Chi Thirteen Swords for everyone. ”

"Tai Chi, Thirteen Swords?! …… Oh! Yay, great. ” William Tomso

Finally, he was pleasantly surprised and said, "Mr. God, you are done, I ...... Also, they, very much, want to see, this wonderful, performance. ”

Shen Taiji heard the words, smiled and signaled, turned around without stopping, a "white crane bright wings", stretched, strong, powerful frame, and immediately won the applause of the whole house. The applause did not stop, Shen Taiji's body had turned sharply, a burst of "sword light thunder", the cold wind in the hall was everywhere, and the sword and sword "shone in the golden court" and "the light (boundless) was myriad". After a moment, the Shen Taibao had already put away his sword, saluted the four with a smile, and walked back to the train.

"Wow! It's a divine sword. ” William Tomso

I couldn't help but get up and praise.

At this time, Sato Haochuan also stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, your country's martial arts and weapons can be described as broad and profound, with a long history, like a surging river, endless; And there is also the saying of the south fist and the north leg. But I wonder if there is anyone in your country who knows our Oriental martial arts? ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he smiled and said, "The Oriental martial arts that Mr. Sato is talking about must refer to your country's karate. I am determined to invite a national player to compete with you, so that you can open your eyes, I wonder what you think? ”

When Sato Hirokawa heard this, he was in the middle of it, and said, "I am willing to lead and learn." ”

"Good!" The Son of Heaven glanced down at Situ Yimin and said, "Second Taibao, please come out of the ranks." ”

"Yes!" Situ Yimin intervened and walked out of the train.

At this time, Hirokawa Sato greeted the second Taibao and said, "May I ask your Excellency's name." ”

"The surname is Situ, and the name is Yimin."

"It turned out to be Mr. Situ, who has been famous for a long time. Please advise! ”

"Don't dare! In the next vow to be taught. ”

"Please!"

So, Hirokawa Sato took off his shoes, exposed his white socks and feet, and stood up to wait.

At the same time, Situ Yimin has also untied his sword, taken off his cloak, and stood firm, waiting for this wait-and-see Sino-Japanese karate competition for a long time.

In the hall, there was silence. The air, gloomy and tense. Everyone's hearts and pairs of eager eyes were suddenly restrained by the two people who were whirling around in the center of the hall and on the felt carpet. Because everyone will understand in their hearts that on the surface, this seems to be a friendly match between China and Japan in judo; However, whoever wins or loses will bring the greatest honor and shame to the country. It is conceivable that there must be an instinctive desire hidden under this friendship, and the two of them will fight for this highest honor.

Suddenly, Sato Haochuan shouted, and suddenly competed with Situ Yimin. In an instant, the two of them rolled several times in succession on the top of the carpet, and neither of them could gain the upper hand. Under the stalemate, the two abruptly separated, each standing firmly, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack again. For a while, the two looked at each other and moved, and when they were respite and settled, the two sides took over and fought again. Everyone present and watching the battle pinched a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty!" An old eunuch bowed his head and whispered, "If two tigers fight, one will be injured." If the second Taibao loses the battle, won't it be an insult to our dynasty? ”

"Hmmm! ......" The Son of Heaven nodded silently, he knew better in his heart the weight of this competition, no matter who wins or loses, it is not a good situation. Although he also has the intention of letting the Second Taibao win, what if he loses? Doesn't it hurt the dignity of our dynasty? Then again, after all, Mr. Sato is a visitor from the Far East, so how can he bear to let a foreign guest be embarrassed here? What's more, the situation at this time is not that our side is favorable, but that the other party is gradually gaining the upper hand. If this development continues, will the government and the opposition still have dignity? After thinking twice, the Son of Heaven finally got up and waved his hand: "Stop-"

After this shout, the whole hall was shocked, and Sato Haochuan and Situ Yimin immediately stopped and looked at the Son of Heaven. At this time, the Son of Heaven stood in front of the emperor's throne and said with a smile: "I see that the kung fu of your two masters is comparable, please return to your seat and rest for the time being." I have more exciting programs in the schedule. ”

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, and Mr. Sato and the second Taibao thanked the Son of Heaven, returned to their original positions, and waited for the Son of Heaven to speak.

At this time, I saw William Tomso

couldn't help but get up and ask, "I don't know, Your Majesty, what's there, wonderful, program?" Isn't it, your country's dance? ”
