The martial arts competition was in full swing, and the fierce shouts shook the four fields, and the fights in the ten rings never broke, one after another, one after another. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the imperial court cleared the heroes of the rivers and lakes, most of the folk warriors have chosen to forbear, or to engage in business, or to participate in farming, or to operate fields, or to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, which has been suppressed for too long. Now, with Huang Shang's efforts, the imperial court has moderately relaxed its suppression of the martial arts, how can it not make them feel excited.

After Zhao Bufan's mood gradually calmed down, he chatted with Hu Sanniang without saying a word about the competition in the field, and made some comments from time to time.

When chatting, Zhao Bufan is a very humorous person, likes to make some jokes, but makes Hu Sanniang giggle, Zhiyuezhi, who is sitting on Zhao Bufan's right hand, sees that they can chat energetically, and soon joins in, she has a big personality, likes to play, and is not a person who can sit quietly at all.

While appreciating the competition, the three of them commented on each competition, laughed a few words from time to time, but quickly became acquainted.

In fact, Zhao Bufan said it humorously, and it seemed that he was appreciating the competition, but he was also thinking about something deeper in his heart.

Today's Great Song Dynasty, it is difficult to see such a martial style, due to the suppression of the martial arts by the imperial court, the vast majority of the people in the adversity to wear off the unyielding spirit, compared with the Khitan people's fierceness, the gap is very large. There are countless martial arts battles like this in Liao, but the Great Song Dynasty has not seen them for many years.

Looking at these gathered martial artists at this moment, even if the martial arts of the people who appeared at the moment were really not good, Zhao Bufan still felt the resistance and unyielding spirit contained in the bones of the Song people, no matter what the purpose of these people's martial arts competition, whether it was for fame or profit, it didn't matter, all he saw was this spirit of daring to fight.

The more troubled the times, the more we need this spirit.

"Brother Fanfan, look at that man, why does he always stare at you?" said Zhi Yuezhi suddenly.

Zhao Bufan followed her gaze, and suddenly saw a dignified-looking young man, with a bit of bookish air between his eyebrows, and at this time he glared at him with an angry face, the two looked at each other, and his person was even more powerful, as if he was going to work hard.

Zhi Yuezhi was puzzled, and spoke up again: "Is this person crazy? We don't know him, what is he glaring at you for? Did you have a holiday with him?"

"No, I haven't seen this guy. Zhao Bufan shook his head and looked at it slightly, but found that there was a flag behind the man, which said Zhujiazhuang, which obviously belonged to the forces of Zhujiazhuang, and seeing that he was sitting in the VIP seat opposite, his status was obviously not low.

At this time, he understood a little, glanced at Hu Sanniang, and said with a smile: "The person who stared at me is called Zhu Biao?"

Hu Sanniang was a little flustered in her heart, she felt that Zhao Bufan seemed to notice something, and she didn't want him to have the slightest misunderstanding, so she immediately said urgently: "It is Zhu Biao of Zhujiazhuang, they Zhujiazhuang is adjacent to our Hujiazhuang, so the friendship is better, in order to deal with the bandits, especially the gang of strong men who have risen in Liangshan in recent years, our two villages and the equally adjacent Lijiazhuang have also formed an alliance, advancing and retreating together, we grew up together since childhood, so he is equivalent to half of my brother!"

"Did he misunderstand me?" Zhao Bufan asked with a smirk.

"It should be a misunderstanding!" Hu Sanniang said with a dodgy look, she knew that Zhu Biao liked herself, if there was no Zhao Bufan, she would probably follow the wishes of the two parents and finally marry each other, but when she was a teenager, she had a shadow in her heart, so she only had some pure brother and sister feelings for Zhu Biao.

Zhao Bufan didn't know what Hu Sanniang was thinking, let alone that the other party had himself in his heart, but he knew that Zhu Biao should like Hu Sanniang, and the other party's eyes were already obvious at the moment, otherwise he couldn't find any other reason, after all, he and Zhu Biao had no intersection at all.

"It seems that he is dissatisfied with me talking too much to you here, which shows that he likes you very much, you childhood sweethearts, the feelings should be very deep!" Although Zhao Bufan has some thoughts about Hu Sanniang, it is also a throbbing, what he likes more now is the faint greenness, the sweetness of the memory, but he never thought that he really wanted to include Hu Sanniang in the family, so he spoke very casually.

Hu Sanniang was anxious, and plucked up the courage to clarify: "No, I really regard him as a brother in my heart, there is no love between men and women, although my parents have the idea of matchmaking, but I don't want to do it myself at all, I already have someone I like in my heart!"

Zhi Yuezhi listened to the two of them talking next to her, her big smart eyes blinked from time to time, she looked sideways at this, and then at that, and finally she didn't know which tendon was wrong, and said directly: "The person you like in your heart can't be my younger brother, right?"

Zhao Bufan didn't want to complicate things, and immediately wanted to divert the words, but before he could open his mouth, Hu Sanniang raised his head with a blushing face and stared at him: "Yes, I have always remembered the young man with the iron rod all these years, and I have always been thinking about whether I will see you again one day, and then I saw your portrait and instantly knew your identity." When I know your deeds over the years, I admire you more and more, and I want to hear from you more and more, and unconsciously make your shadow more profound in my heart. ”

Zhao Bufan and Zheyuezhi were stunned.

I didn't expect that Hu Sanniang, who looked very blushing, was so straightforward in her heart, Zhi Yuezhi asked casually, she didn't even twist, she came so violently, but she was really a bold woman who dared to love and hate.

This made Zhao Bufan a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know what to say, Zhi Yuezhi blinked his eyes and looked at Hu Sanniang in a daze.

Hu Cheng, who was sitting on the other side of Hu Sanniang, also heard these words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he felt very happy, he deliberately arranged it this way today, just hoping that Zhao Bufan and Hu Sanniang could communicate, so he even changed the seats and layout in this area, so that there were only four of them, and they were blocked with some decorations in the front and back, left and right, so that others could not hear it.

Because of this, as Hu Sanniang bravely said what was in her heart, the place quickly quieted down, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Zhao Bufan was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled as if he was nothing: "I didn't expect that I was stupid back then, and I was able to make you fall in love with you so much, which really flattered me, at that time you pulled out the horse and left, I thought you hated my faux pas!"

"How is that possible, I was a little shy when you stared at me with straight eyes, but your riding skills are really good, and I can barely catch up with you back then. Hu Sanniang's thinking was relatively simple, and she didn't understand Zhao Bufan's routine, so she was instantly diverted.

"Of course, archery on horseback is something I've been forced to learn since I was a child, but I'm disgusted with archery!" Zhao Bufan responded with a smile, just wanting to divert the topic first.

Zhi Yuezhi next to her rolled her eyes instantly, she was much smarter than Hu Sanniang, and she knew Zhao Bufan better, how could she not know that he was deliberately changing the topic at the moment. Hu Cheng also frowned, he saw that Hu Sanniang was immersed in the memories of the past, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became, he simply ignored the fact that Zhao Bufan had not responded positively, and immediately shook his head with a wry smile, no longer listening to them, and watching the competition in the distance with all his attention.

Soon, Zhao Bufan brought the topic back to the current competition, with witty remarks, and the atmosphere of several people became harmonious again.

After an hour of break at noon, the martial arts competition venue still did not disperse, Hujiazhuang did not provide a free wine banquet, but let the tenants and Zhuang Ding get food to sell, which is probably the reason why they are willing to hold a martial arts competition, so that they can make a lot of money. As for the dignitaries, there are several makeshift pubs where they can enjoy a sumptuous lunch for free.

When the scene was rested, Hu Cheng was busy taking people to greet the VIPs from all sides, and handed over Zhao Bufan, Zhe Yuezhi and others to Hu Sanniang to accompany them. While bustling can increase appetite, overcrowding can be counterproductive.

didn't want to walk, Zhu Biao suddenly rushed over from the crowd in the distance, carrying an iron gun, and stopped in front of the road menacingly.

"Sanniang, I'll prepare a banquet over there, let's go over and eat together!"

Hu Sanniang looked at Zhao Bufan's face, shook her head with a smile: "Second brother, I have a distinguished guest to receive today, you can eat!"

Zhu Biao watched Zhao Bufan and Hu Sanniang talk all morning, which made Hu Sanniang laugh non-stop, and his heart had endured to the limit, and when he suddenly heard this, he couldn't suppress his anger in an instant, and stared at Zhao Bufan fiercely and said angrily: "Who are you sacred, pulling my Sanniang to talk non-stop, what does this mean?"

"That's just casual chat...... Zhao Bufan was about to speak out, but Hu Sanniang said angrily: "Third brother Zhu, when did I become your family?"

"It's not a matter of time or time, I told my father, and I'll come to the door in a few months to propose!" Zhu Biao said to himself.

"Zhu Third Brother, you are a little difficult for a strong man, it is your intention to propose marriage, but we didn't agree to Hujiazhuang?" Hu Sanniang was a little anxious, she especially didn't want Zhao Bufan to misunderstand, for fear that the other party would think that she was a woman who was not emotionally single-minded, and that her earlier confession was lying.

Zhu Biao was also so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted loudly: "Sanniang, my father has already told Mrs. Hu that he is indeed willing to marry you to me, you and I have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and we should have walked together, this is a natural thing!"

The dispute that suddenly broke out here provoked many people to come over to watch, Zhu Biao's two brothers, Zhu Long and Zhu Hu, rushed over one after another, and there was also a person with an iron rod.

"Third brother, what are you yelling here, don't make people laugh!" Zhu Long, as the eldest brother, saw that there were more and more onlookers, and immediately shouted.

Zhu Biao was enthusiastic at this time, how could he care so much, and pointed at Zhao Bufan angrily: "This kid wants to snatch love, I can't bear it!"

Zhao Bufan was really crying and laughing at the moment, looking at Zhu Biao, who was angry, and shook his head with a smile: "Zhu Biao, I understand your mood, but no matter whether I like Hu Sanniang or not, if you do this, it will only have the opposite effect, calm down, this is just a trivial matter, sit down and talk about it!"

"You don't talk cool words on the side, I'll fight to the death with you, whoever loses will go!" How could Zhu Biao hear his persuasion, he was so angry that he rushed up with a gun on the spot, Zhu Long and Zhu Hu hurriedly grabbed him, Zhu Long hurriedly said: "Third brother, are you going to lose all the face of Zhujiazhuang?"
