Chapter 365 Aoshan Martial Arts Test
So, Bai Sheng arranged a set of living rooms for Hu Sanniang in his own courtyard in the Taishi Mansion, and told her not to go out at will, but only take her out when the army is ready.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and it is the day of the planned Aoshan gun test.
In the past three days, an astonishing news has been spreading in Bianliang City, and Yang Zhi has challenged Bai Sheng in front of the front hall, wanting to compete with the new champion.
According to the news, the place where Bai Sheng and Yang Zhi met was in Aoshan.
Ao Mountain is the only mountain in Bianliang City, the mountain is not high, it is better than the scenery.
As early as the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, all kinds of lanterns were hung on Ao Mountain, but due to the emperor's decree to change the date of the Lantern Festival, these lanterns were removed again, and they could not be hung again until the first day of February.
It was precisely because there was no lantern that Bai Sheng chose to test the gun in Aoshan.
On the afternoon of the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, the foot of Aoshan Mountain was crowded with people from Bianliang who came to see the excitement, and there was a sea of people.
People not only want to know which is higher or lower between the strong men of the previous martial arts and the champions of this year, but also want to see how powerful the new weapons and artillery of the Great Song army are.
Bai Sheng did not prohibit anyone from coming to watch, in fact, whether it was the Aoshan test or the Aoshan competition, he personally arranged for someone to release it, but the thing was done extremely secretively and was unknown.
He hoped that these two things would be known to everyone, otherwise he would not have arranged for Ling Zhen to lead 2,500 horses to march through the streets of Bianjing with artillery for three days.
On the slope of Ao Mountain, a wooden ring was set up in a renovated open space, which was where he and Yang Zhi competed.
At this moment, he was standing in the ring, opposite Yang Zhi, who came as promised.
Bai Sheng dressed up unusually today, no longer the usual white robe, but wore a golden armor, carrying his copper stick and standing in the afterglow of the sunset, his expression was radiant, as if the sky was about to descend to earth, and with this aura alone, tens of thousands of viewers in the audience did not dare to talk loudly.
Although Yang Zhi, who was standing opposite him, was dwarfed, he was also fully armed, dressed in iron armor, and carrying a simple knife in his hand.
The ring was very spacious, and the two looked at each other at a distance of three feet, and neither of them would strike first.
Yang Zhi really didn't want to compete with Bai Sheng, he had already politely refused three times, but Bai Sheng resolutely disagreed, and he had no choice, he just planned to make a move later.
As for deliberately giving in, it is impossible, even if he Yang Zhi can be defeated, it cannot damage the prestige of the ancestor Yang Lao Linggong.
Xu Ning stood under the ring and looked at Bai Sheng in golden armor and was very unhappy.
He was unhappy because Bai Sheng was wearing his family's ancestral Yanling ring gold armor, also known as Sai Tang Yi.
It is said that the personal armor of Lu Bu, the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, is called Tang Yijia, and the Yanling armor of Xu Ning's family is three points better than Lu Bu's Tang Yijia.
This pair of golden armor of the wild goose ring is draped on the body, light and unbreakable, and the sword and arrow are impenetrable.
Such a family heirloom, Xu Ning naturally loves more than his life, and in the past, his boss Wang Taiwei paid 30,000 yuan to buy it, but he refused. However, this time, Bai Shengguan crushed people to death at the first level, and asked him to take out this armor to borrow it for half a day.
Bai Sheng's meaning is very clear: I don't want yours, I won't buy yours, can I wear it for half a day? If this doesn't work, don't mix in the Great Song Forbidden Army.
Of course, Xu Ning couldn't say no, so he reluctantly took it for Bai Sheng to put on, so there was a golden armor general in the ring at this moment.
Xu Ning was responsible for maintaining order under the stage, and Bai Sheng allocated 2,500 people from the vanguard army to 1,500 people, and these 1,500 people surrounded the ring, preventing the people from approaching.
Another 1,000 sergeants were following Ling Tong on the other side of the hill to adjust the artillery and set up targets. As long as Bai Sheng finishes the competition here, and gives orders in person in the past, he can start testing the gun.
Xu Ning was not happy here, but he didn't know that outside the guards and soldiers, a few people who ate melons were also very anxious.
One of the melon-eating people was wearing a long robe, a scribe's scarf, and a few wisps of rat whiskers under the corners of his mouth and chin and whispered: "There are so many soldiers around the ring, our brothers must not act rashly!"
A strong man next to him who was as black as charcoal hurriedly said, "What should I do then?
Another short man who was slightly darker than the strong man but could never be described as white said: "Tie Niu, don't be impatient, there is no chance this time, let's come to Japan for a long time! It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!"
The strong man snorted and exhaled, and said stupidly: "Okay, I'll listen to my brother." ”
The black dwarf smiled with relief on his face and said, "We have the help of Foreign Minister Lu, are we afraid that we won't find a chance to take revenge?"
As he spoke, he looked at a tall man beside him, the tall man was dressed like a rich man, and his face was handsome, it was Hebei Jade Qilin, Lu Junyi.
Lu Junyi said: "Song Zhisi is serious, Lu can't talk about helping you take revenge, just cleaning up the door." As for the personal grievances between you, I think it's better to wait until Wu Song learns martial arts, and let's take a look at the excitement on this occasion today. ”
A middle-aged man next to him with a beard, who was about the same height as Lu Junyi, but much burlier than Lu Junyi, said: "What Lu Yuanwai said is that our brother's grudge is of course resolved by our own brother, and we dare not work Lu Yuanwai. ”
Lu Junyi smiled and said, "I just hope that King Chao doesn't blame me." ”
This group of people is Song Jiang, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Liu Tang and Ruan Sanxiong, who came from Shandong, and they are in one place with Lu Junyi, Li Jun, Zhang Shun, Li Kui, Dai Zong, and Yan Qinghui, except for one Wu Song.
Wu Song was still learning martial arts from Zhou Tong in the Royal Boxing Gym, and this group heard the news that Bai Sheng was going to test the cannon in Aoshan, and wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge on Bai Sheng, but only looking at the current situation, this revenge can only be put aside for the time being.
The defense of the forbidden army under the ring is too tight, and there is no opportunity to take advantage of it.
Since he couldn't take the opportunity to retaliate, Zhong Tiangang turned the topic to the victory or defeat of the competition, and Song Jiang asked Wu Yong: "Sir, who does you think will win and who will lose between Bai Sheng and Yang Zhi?"
Without waiting for Wu Yong to answer, Ruan Xiaowu replied directly: "Do you still need to ask? It must be Yang Zhineng who can win." ”
Hearing this, Song Jiang, Li Jun, and Dai Zong were all unimpressed, because they had seen the process of Bai Sheng's victory over Wu Song in the mine.
In order not to lose Ruan Xiaowu's face, Song Jiang asked: "Is there any basis for Xiao Wu's judgment?"
Ruan Xiaowu said: "I heard that a few days ago, this Yang Zhi passed by Liangshanbo and had a fight with Lin Jiaotou, who had just gone up the mountain, and the two were tied!"
Lu Junyi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and asked, "What's the matter?
