Chapter Twenty-Three: The Verge

A day passed in a blink of an eye.

In the early morning of the seventh day, when the appointed period arrived, the outside of the school yard was crowded with people early. Adults and children, and even all kinds of vendors selling melons, fruits and snacks have seized this business opportunity.

If you do a small business, you will naturally drill into people's piles.

As a result, more and more people gathered around, and the school field was very lively.

Feiyun City is still martial, and it may be inseparable from this general, many soldiers or veterans under Wu Deyang who have been injured and lost their combat effectiveness will be treated very well in accordance with the Great Chu Law, and some of them will remember the old feelings of their comrades-in-arms or those who are helpless will stay in Feiyun City under the management of the general with their families. So under the influence of this group of people, the atmosphere in the city is quite strong.

Don't look at the old man who sells watermelons, but when he was young, he may have been a pawn with more than a dozen heads hanging from his waist.

But everyone is not allowed to fight privately in the city, it doesn't matter if you provoke a conflict and get beaten, but the sword has no eyes, and the fists and feet are ruthless, in case you kick someone else's door, break someone else's tank, or even injure others, there will be a chain of troubles behind, and the city will be chaotic.

So the general organized people to repair this school field, if you want to fight, you can, you can set a date by yourself, if it is a death match, you can sign a life and death certificate, and you can fight in the school field.

Inside the school field, there is a wide high platform above, which is made of hard bluestone bricks, and people look at it below, with a wide field of vision, and it is good to dodge in time when it falls. The school yard is surrounded by iron railings, and ordinary duels and movements can be confined to this railing, which is safer than duels on the street.

It is precisely because of the fierce folk customs and frequent duels, although the big guys are used to seeing all kinds of fights, but they are still quite interested in this kind of excitement, the higher the force, the bigger the two sides, the more exciting. Once someone agrees on a duel, it will soon spread throughout the city.

This morning's duel, with a large number of people, was unprecedented. The news flew into the sky, and it had been spread for seven days and seven nights, and the gimmick of "the lover and competitor of the daughter of the city lord" was true, which made people's gossip skyrocket, who could win the heart of Wu Wenjie? People were looking forward to the arrival of the dueling two.

But Chen Feng got up early in the morning, hungry and unbearable, he just shouted to eat breakfast, Qingluan said that the kitchen was already preparing, but Chen Feng wanted to go to Feiyun City Street to eat those market food. Although this big family has everything in their home, Chen Feng only feels that the fireworks in the red dust are the true taste of this world. It may be that I have been silent in the mountains and forests for a long time, completely away from the world, and now I only feel that I should also enter the world thoroughly, go to the crowd, and walk into the beautiful or ugly world, in order to make up for the gap in my understanding of the world during my stupidity.

Qingluan was stubborn, so he had to follow him to the street, as a little tour guide, and even forgot to inform the lord or lady when he was in a hurry to go out. She was a little helpless, so she kept reminding him along the way not to forget about the duel.

"It was so important to me that I wouldn't forget it. Chen Feng told her this, and she was slightly relieved.

But he turned around and walked around, and in a blink of an eye, he was already on the pole, and Qingluan found that he was wrong.

At this time, Chen Feng was walking swaggering on the street with a duck leg in his left hand and a piece of pastry wrapped in paper in his right hand.

Because of the shocking duel covenant, all the thousands of people on the street went to the school field. Chen Feng finally ate a bowl of green onion noodles at a small stall, and when he approached the school yard, he gradually looked at some small vendors pushing carts to sell food.

He bought a duck leg boiled in marinade, and bought half a catty of sweet osmanthus cake. The duck leg and the previous sauce duck taste is different, but each has its own merits, can not say which is good or worse, osmanthus cake is made of glutinous rice flour, sugar and honey osmanthus as raw materials made of delicious pastries, is a special traditional snack in Dachu all over the country. Steeped in history and deliciously refreshing. He couldn't help but sigh that the delicacy in this world is enough to make people sink, and the world of flowers is really beautiful.

However, although I bought it, it was Qingluan who followed behind me to open the money, which is quite the style of a great prince.

It's not that Chen Feng deliberately set up a score, but he came out in a hurry, although he had some broken silver from a long time ago in his baggage, but he didn't bring it, and the eldest lord gave Qingluan a lot of silver taels in advance, saying that if Chen Feng wanted to go out to play, Qingluan should go out to introduce the characteristics and scenery of Feiyun City, but Qingluan really didn't expect this person to come out to play on this day.

But now it's almost there.

Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief, and the gate of the school field could already be seen here, with a plaque hanging on the red-painted gate pillar, which read "Feiyun City School Field". The crowd was crowded, Qingluan stood on tiptoe and watched, it seemed that there was already a figure standing on the high platform showing off his might, a little panicked, and couldn't help but pull the corner of Chen Feng's clothes and call softly.

"Brother Sanniu, Brother Sanniu, that person seems to have arrived, building momentum on the scene. ”

Chen Feng also squinted his eyes and looked over, nodded slightly and smiled: "Then we will go over now." ”

Immediately, the two of them squeezed into the crowd.

But the person who arrived first on the stage was far from being as beautiful as Qingluan thought.

Li Changgeng was even extremely distressed. I came here early, thinking that I could show off my family background with a large group of people, and by the way, I used a huge momentum to suppress the arrogance of that stinky boy. But he missed a little, there was no specific time when he was agreed, even if Chen Feng came back after dark, it was not a breach of contract, as long as he came within this day, he had nothing to gossip about.

In Feiyun City, it is shameful to take a duel but not go to the appointment on time, in such a martial city, if you go to the school and lose, as long as you lose the brilliance of losing, the big guy will still give you a thumbs up. But if you obviously promised to go to the school field at a certain time and time to duel with someone, but you couldn't escape from the battle, and let the big guy come for nothing, it would probably be indispensable for stinky fish and rotten eggs, and in this Feiyun City, you will naturally be looked down upon everywhere, and you won't be able to get lost.

But Li Changgeng could only sulk, and sat in the sun for about two hours, and he never saw that guy. He himself is okay, the king snake gong is to enhance the operation of the qi, strengthen the activity of the cell, after the endurance is far beyond the reach of people, but the strong family members who brought to show off their power have long been like a staggered eggplant, and when he came, the mighty team that poured into the city had already dispersed into a plate of loose sand. He had no choice but to scold loudly: "Eh, eh, cheer me up, don't lose the face of my Li family!"

But who can withstand that dizziness and fatigue.

He couldn't help but think of a sentence that his father, who had read a lot, once said to him, from an ancient book on the art of war: "One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion." ”

I have been waiting for more than three times, and I have been more than thirty years. I only wanted to knock down Chen Feng for a while and kick him a few times before I could get out of my evil breath.

was thinking about it for a while, but found that the crowd in the audience was squeezed open a small crack, causing people to scold.

"Who, don't you understand the rules of first come, first served?"

"If you come late, you will honestly stand behind and look at it, and you will arch forward blindly. ”

The person who came was Chen Feng, pulling Qingluan in front to separate the crowd, and Qingluan followed behind with a red face.

He had never held hands with a man, but the man's reason was:

There are a lot of people here, you have to follow me, otherwise I won't be able to find you after the fight, and I won't be able to find my way back to Wufu.

When she thought about it, it seemed to be a very legitimate reason, so she didn't break free, and let him pull it. But there seemed to be fire in that big hand, which made her small palm sweat a lot.

"Eh~ It's coming, it's coming, it's been a long wait. Chen Feng stretched out a hand holding a marinated duck leg, the delicacy swayed, the juice flew all over the sky, and those women who loved cleanliness had the urge to scold their mothers.

Squeezing to the steps under the high platform, he tore off a piece of paper wrapped in osmanthus cake to wrap the chicken leg bone, and then handed it to Qingluan. Then put the osmanthus cake in her arms.

"Hold it for me, wait for me later. ”

Then he walked up the stairs to the high platform.

Everyone in the audience was embarrassed, and Li Changgeng was even more disdainful, feeling that such a way on stage had already fallen into place, and he did not have the demeanor of a master at all. Many dueling people who can do light work have jumped over the crowd and flew onto the stage, and their clothes fluttering have already won most of the applause, and no matter how bad they are, they are all extremely long and far-reaching vertical jumps to show their good foot strength. What's the deal with climbing stairs?

Chen Feng felt that he was about to fight, why waste those true qi by playing those bells and whistles, if he lost the duel in the end, he would lose face much more than the face you earned by playing prestige, wouldn't you be wronged to death.

Anyway, the two of them finally stood still on the stage, looking at each other from a distance through dozens of bluestone floors in the middle.

Li Changgeng's eyes were vicious, but with three points of ridicule and three points of contempt.

And Chen Feng was still wiping his mouth with his sleeve, and his eyes didn't look at the former at all.

"Leave it up to both sides to choose their own blades. At this time, the management of the school came to the stage and said loudly in a loud voice.

There is not only one school administrator, but seven people elected by the people, one shift a day, responsible for the care of the school grounds, the presiding over duels, and so on. The rules of the duel in the school field are also quite broad, and there are no requirements for the number of blade martial arts used by the test takers, and the only two restrictions are: no dead hands are allowed, and hidden weapons are not allowed.

But if someone dies, it will be determined by the school administrators, and if it is not a mistake but an intentional crime, the punishment will be no different from or worse than killing someone in the street.

Therefore, the martial arts of these managers are also quite good, considering the special identity of today's duelist, so the manager who should have come today did not come, and was replaced by the leader with the highest realm among the seven, who used to be a small general, and now he is a heavy qi refiner, and he is a number one master in the entire Feiyun City.

"No need, let's fight with our bare hands for a round first, what does the son think?" he looked polite and asked Chen Feng on the other end.

Chen Feng smiled and nodded.

Both sides can agree not to use blades and the number of rounds under this rule. Chen Feng agreed, and the manager naturally had no opinion.

The scorching sun was scorching, and everyone was looking forward to the beginning of this sensational duel in Feiyun City. Many girls looked at the eldest young master of the state capital, and the eyes of the nymphomaniac were full of stars, and they felt that this person was handsome and chic and golden, and he was simply an ideal husband, and although the poor sour boy over there had an unpleasant face, compared to Li Changgeng, who was as dazzling as the sun, it seemed worthless.

There was no objection from either side. Duel ......"

"Let's go!"
