Chapter 62: Showdown

The next day, the martial arts examinations of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces continued under the auspices of Ordo, the highest chief executive of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, and the final finals were Qionghua Academy and Tongtian Academy, two major academies in Hangzhou. The leader of Qionghua Academy is Fang Shiyu, the leader of Tongtian Academy is Hefu, the team members on Fang Shiyu's side are Hong Xiguan, Hu Dedi, Li Jinlun, Bai Anfu, and Hefu's side is Lei Laohu's nephew Lei Ren Wang, Zhou Tao, the son of the provincial academic governor, Wang Lun, the nephew of the governor Wang Kangwang, and Zhou Tao, the son of Zhou Bingwen, a wealthy merchant in Jiangzuo.

For this selection of martial arts, both the Fang family and the Lei family attach great importance to it, whether it is Lei Mei of the Lei family, or Ouyang Sihai of the Fang family, Ma Yumei, and Miao Cuihua all sit in the audience to cheer for themselves.

Standing on the battlefield and Fu Zi provoked Fang Shiyu: "...... Last time, you used a sneak attack to snatch the green from me, so I wonder if you can snatch the qualification from me to enter Beijing to participate in the martial arts examination this time?"

With Fang Xiaoyu's strategy of Tian Ji horse racing and the tactics of the five-in-one attack, Fang Shiyu had no doubt that they could defeat Tongtian Academy in the competition, so he said confidently: "With our Fang Shiyu here, it will be difficult for our Qionghua Academy to lose." ”

He Fule said hehehe: "Since Fang Shao is so confident, I don't know if he is interested in gambling with me?"

"Bet, how to bet?" Fang Shiyu suddenly became interested when he heard this.

"Just bet on the results of this martial arts competition," He Fule said he: "If you can pass the examination this time, on behalf of Fujian and Zhejiang to enter the Beijing examination, we will lose two hundred taels of silver here, and after taking out, I will see the people of your Qionghua Academy around, if you lose, I don't ask you for the money, anyway, you are all poor ghosts, and it is estimated that you can't take out two hundred taels of silver, so let's do it, as long as you run around Hangzhou City three times." ”

"Run around Hangzhou City three times," Fang Shiyu was stunned when he heard it: "It's that simple?"

"You're beautiful," He Fu pouted: "You have to shout while running, just shout that Qionghua Academy is not as good as our Tongtian Academy." ”

Fang Shiyu immediately smiled: "Two hundred taels of silver just want to bet on the reputation of our academy, you think the reputation of our academy is too valuable." “

Zhou Tao said on the side at this time: "What other skills does your academy have besides stealing and playing tricks and hurting people with secret arrows?"

Fang Shiyu smiled and said: "Stealing and playing tricks, and hurting people with secret arrows is also a kind of ability, our Qionghua Academy can keep pace with your Tongtian Academy over the years, it naturally has its reason, here I want to ask you, this scientific examination, although my younger brother who is not talented is not very good in the examination, but they can be regarded as the fifth leader, I don't know what the best ranking of your Tongtian Academy is, you should tell me that it is the thirteenth place with the eldest and youngest, right?"

Zhou Tao heard Fang Shiyu's words, Zhou Tao was really speechless, these candidates who were all too old let a young man who had just participated in the scientific examination be trampled underfoot, this face really made people crackle.

Hearing this, He Fu couldn't help but secretly scolded Brother Xuan's mad demon, but he couldn't refute it, for them, Fang Xiaoyu was simply a freak, a person who was not yet fifteen years old could have a few people from ancient times to the present: "You Qionghua Academy is also a little clever over there, but you can't help but admit the fact that the overall strength of your Qionghua Academy is not as good as our Tongtian Academy, under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible for you to defeat our Tongtian Academy......"

Fang Shiyu directly interrupted him: "I haven't compared yet, how do you know that our academy will be inferior to your Tongtian Academy?"

He Fu suddenly smiled: "So confident, is it that your precious brother has some conspiracy for you?"

Fang Shiyu was about to refute, but He Fu stopped him: "Why don't you let me guess first, if my guess is correct, the idea he gave you must be Tian Ji horse racing, right?"

"How do you know?"

After listening to Hefu's words, Bai Anfu couldn't help blurting out this sentence.

As soon as he said this, he found that Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan were looking at him like idiots, and when he saw their gazes, Bai Anfu immediately lowered his head, knowing that he had lost his words.

"Sure enough, it's Tian Ji horse racing," He Fu suddenly smiled: "Also, the strength of your academy is not as good as ours, if you want to win, you can only use this strategy, but now that I know your strategy, do you think I will still be fooled, in the face of dignified strength, any conspiracy is a joke." ”

Fang Shiyu was just about to speak, but Ordo had already walked into the ring and presided over the meeting: "...... The examination of Fujian and Zhejiang will not only elect the most representative not only to elect the best representative of our young masters in Fujian and Zhejiang, they will represent Beijing to participate in next year's Beijing martial arts scholars, in addition to we will also select our Fujian and Zhejiang two best education colleges, the winning academy and the administrative department of the annual 1,000 taels of silver scholarship, the competition will be divided into two games, one is individual competition, one is team confrontation, now there are two groups of winning champion college Qionghua Academy and Tongtian Academy of martial arts students to enter. ”

Hearing Ordo's words, Fang Shiyu and He Fuzi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took their own team members to the game.

Ordo is still very satisfied with the spiritual outlook of these two academies: "....... Although the martial arts competition is a human miss, a horse's hoof, but you are all the pillars of the future of the Qing Dynasty, so this governor hopes that you can put the purpose of learning skills, point to the end, it is advisable to see no blood, now ask the two colleges to assign the students of the competition to the competition, I don't know which of your academies will send people to the field first. ”

Fang Shiyu immediately turned his gaze to Hefu: "The academies in Fujian and Zhejiang are headed by your Tongtian Academy, so your academy will take the lead in throwing bricks and attracting jade." ”

He Fu smiled and said: "As a senior, of course, you have to cherish yourself and your juniors, or you Qionghua Academy please first."

"Respecting the elders and loving the young is our traditional Chinese virtue, how dare you take advantage of the ........ of the younger brother"

What everyone didn't expect was that Fang Shiyu and He Fu, who had fought to the death in the past, were actually polite to each other before the competition.

Yim Wing Chun in the stands was puzzled when he saw this: "What the hell are they doing?"

Fang Xiaoyu sighed: "I didn't expect that there were masters on the side of Tongtian Academy, and someone must have seen through my Tian Ji horse racing strategy." ”

"What should I do?" Yan Wing Chun couldn't help but be a little anxious: "Aren't they going to lose." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said helplessly: "I can't think of any better way than to die." ”

Erduo was waiting in the ring for the students of Qionghua Academy and Tongtian Academy to compete, but what he didn't expect was that Fang Xiaoyu and Hefu had become gentle gentlemen, and they were humble to each other there, and no one would send someone out first, at the moment he couldn't help but feel angry and funny, and shouted at the moment: "Hefu, Fang Shiyu, what the hell are you doing, if you don't let people compete on stage, this governor will treat you as losing." ”

He Fu said helplessly: "Lord E, you are a famous leader in leading soldiers, among the generals of the current dynasty, no one can be your right, even Lord Fukang Anfu calls you the first soldier of the dynasty, but today this ring and Fu really dare not let people play first, if Hefu lets people play first today, this competition is estimated to be lost in our Tongtian Academy." ”

Ordo was stunned when he heard it: "What do you say?"

He Fu replied: "Some people are going to use Tian Ji horse racing to deal with our Tongtian Academy, in fact, our Tongtian Academy is not afraid of losing, we are afraid that we will not be able to select real talents, and we will miss the major event of the imperial court opening a department and recruiting scholars." ”

Ordo immediately understood, it turned out that Fang Shiyu was going to deal with Tongtian Academy in the way of Tian Ji horse racing, but he didn't want this news to let people know, the strength of Tongtian Academy was stronger than Qionghua Academy, but it was also limited, if this was the case, this martial arts competition, Tongtian Academy was really going to lose, and he said a little helplessly at the moment: "But you can't be there, let so many of us be there to see where you are soaking mushrooms." ”

He Fu was very respectful: "Please also show me." ”

Ordo thought for a while and said, "If you really can't do it, just catch the castration." ”

"Actually, it's not that troublesome, to choose the best martial arts people, the best way is to fight against each other, the strongest in Tongtian Academy is me and the king of people, and the Qionghua Academy is Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan, as long as the four of us have a fair fight, as for the others, they are free to fight." ”

Erduo immediately smiled: "A few of you are the strongest in these two academies, I don't think it is necessary, I heard that you were beaten by Fang Xiaoyu last time." ”

Ordo's words made Hefu unable to refute, so he had to say stupidly: "That's because he succeeded by sneak attack, if he really does it, I will let him use one hand and one foot." “

"As a master, you should be able to see the six roads and listen to the eight directions," Ordo looked at Hefu: "Besides, Fang Xiaoyu can stand in front of you at that time, how can you blame him for the sneak attack, if that is also a sneak attack, it can be regarded as a kind of ability, there is a sentence you are right, let's open a branch to make a living, that is, to select qualified talents for the imperial court, in order to avoid the suspicion of missing pearls in the sea, this governor personally designated Fang Xiaoyu as a martial artist." Then he turned his gaze to Fang Shiyu: "Isn't that kid Xiaoyu conceited and extremely smart, and likes to be troublesome, this governor will give him a certain opportunity to participate in this martial arts, this governor will give you a quarter of an hour, you can find him, otherwise this competition will not be compared with your Qionghua Academy." “

"My lord!" Before Fang Shiyu could answer, He Fu hurriedly said: "It's very unfair for us students to do this, we have come to this point after layers of screening. “

"Ben Du knows," Ordo replied, "Ben Du will give you an explanation, Ben Du will let him try one by one of the items you have tried, if he can't do it, Ben Du will disqualify him, your best result is to lift 130 pounds, riding and archery is 70 steps, anyway, he alone will not waste much time." If he can't do it, the governor will cancel the qualification of a martial artist in Qionghua Academy for the examination. “

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Since Ordo's words are all on this, Hefu is not good to object.

When Fang Xiaoyu was surprised when he learned that Ordo asked him to participate in the martial arts competition, in fact, it was not only him who was surprised, but also Ouyang Sihai, Miao Cuihua, Ma Yumei and Yan Yongchun, Ouyang Sihai frowned slightly: "Why does the governor of Hubei have to let Xiaoyu participate in the martial arts competition?" She has always kept Fang Xiaoyu's martial arts skills a secret from everyone, even Miao Cuihua and Ma Yumei don't know, let alone Fang Shiyu.

Fang Shiyu smiled bitterly: "It's not that Grandpa E knew about Xiaoyu's beating and blessing last time." “

Hearing Fang Shiyu's words, Ouyang Sihai glared at Fang Xiaoyu: "It's all a good thing for you to provoke the stinky boy, since Grandpa E is eyeing you, then try it well, don't lose my face." “

"Yes!"

Fang Xiaoyu behaved very respectfully and followed Fang Shiyu.

Yim Wing Chun hesitated and said, "Is Xiaoyu okay?"

Ouyang Sihai said angrily: "It's all your girl's trouble, if it weren't for Lord E, how could he notice him so quickly." “

Hearing Ouyang Sihai's words, Yan Wing Chun suddenly stopped talking, after all, Fang Xiaoyu was targeted by Ordo because he beat Hefu, but in fact, they didn't know that Ordo paid attention to Xiaoyu above because of Bai Mei's words.

When Fang Xiaoyu stood in front of Ordo, Qionghua Academy, and Tongtian Academy, Ordo said lightly: "Don't you kid particularly like to show yourself, this governor will give you a special opportunity to assess, the best weightlifting score in this martial arts competition is your eldest brother's 150 catties, and the best riding and archery is Hefu's 70 steps, in order to block the crowd and avoid people from saying that this governor is favoritism, you must at least reach their level." “

Fang Xiaoyu said without humility or arrogance: "Xiaoyu will try not to disappoint Lord E as much as possible. “

"Then let's start, give you a quarter of an hour to complete these two assessments, if you disappoint the Governor, the Governor will cancel this assessment opportunity of Qionghua Academy, go ahead." “

Fang Xiaoyu went immediately, the results of the assessment, Ordo was quite satisfied, although Fang Xiaoyu's physical strength was not as good as Fang Shiyu, but the stone lock of one hundred and fifty catties still allowed him to lift it above his head, although it was a little harder, this result surprised Fang Shiyu, He Fu and others.

The next assessment is archery, and Xiaoyu's performance in this competition surprised Ordo, Fang Xiaoyu not only opened the special hard bow dedicated to the exam, but also accurately shot through the target a hundred steps away. Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's archery skills, Ordo was shocked, this kid's archery skills had almost caught up with the eagle on the grassland, and in shock, he turned his gaze to He Fu: "You didn't say it this time, did you?"

There is more variable than Fang Xiaoyu, although He Fu is helpless, he has no choice but to hesitate and say: "My lord is wise, but the number of people in each academy is five, but they are six. ”

As soon as He Fu's words were finished, he heard a weak voice: "Either I'll quit," it was Bai Anfu who said this: "Everyone knows that my martial arts are the worst among the students participating in the competition in Qionghua Academy." ”

"Anfu, do you know what you're talking about?" said this to Hong Xiguan.

Bai Anfu smiled: "That's it, I'm not a martial arts practitioner at all, if it weren't for the lack of manpower for you to participate in the competition this time, I wouldn't have joined in this excitement at all, since the competition, I'm afraid that I will drag everyone back, now I can leave with confidence, Xiaoyu He is indeed stronger than me, at least I can't shoot at the target a hundred steps away." “

"Anfu ......"

Fang Xiaoyu just said a word, but Bai Anfu said to him: "Don't feel guilty, you know your own affairs best, there are two elderly people in my family who need me to take care of, and they are also my responsibility, at all I am still worried about my going to Beijing, who will take care of them, now at least I don't have to worry about it, with you, I think I can leave with confidence, I believe that you should do better than me, but don't worry, I will cheer you on outside." After saying this, Bai Anfu left very freely.

Erduo saw Fang Xiaoyu's thoughts: "Anfu is indeed not material for martial arts, it is not a good thing for you to forcibly pull him into this circle, it is better to let go and let him do what he likes, okay, the competition continues." ”
