Chapter 2: But that's it
Three young men rode their horses to the entrance of the village, reined in their mounts and looked around, and a white-robed young man frowned and said, "Why is it so chaotic here, there are so many idle characters in the so-called Fushou Village?"
Another purple-robed young man shouted, "Who is Chu Qing, is Chu Qing here? We are from the Linjiang Martial Arts Hall!"
A few girls began to scream, and a few others somehow began to accuse each other, and one of the fat girls jumped up with excitement, jumped quite high, and her fat body was snorting and trembling......
"There's a distinguished guest here!" Two guys ran out of the tavern and the inn to maintain order: "Let one go, let one go, lean back, lean back, say you!"
"It's coming, it's coming!" Chu Qing had just finished settling an account and ran out of his store with a smile.
"What's coming!" a young man dressed as a samurai scolded: "Chu Qing, tell him to come out!"
"I am Chu Qing. Chu Qing was so busy that he was sweating and wiped his hand.
The three young people on the horse looked at each other, and they all shook their heads secretly, they are all pampered sons and brothers in the big family, and they are also the talents of the young generation in the family, and they have also inquired before coming to Fushou Village this time, the one named Chu Qing is the only son of the head of Fushou Village and the patriarch of the clan surnamed Chu, and the family is also considered wealthy, and the identities of the three of them are quite matched.
Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was dressed no different from the scholar servants in their family.
This can't be drawn, and I came all the way to challenge, even if I win this country braincase, what can I do, in case I lose......
Chu Qing didn't think as much as the other party, and stepped forward and smiled: "The three of you are fortunate, I have been waiting for a long time, I don't know how to call you brothers?"
"Fang Nanxiong!"
"Zhong Zhen!"
"Jiang Tianying!"
Immediately, the three of them clasped their fists and announced their names.
"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time, look up to ......" Chu Qing said politely, stood in place and moved his muscles, which means that the introduction has been completed, let's start?
"Just standing, don't you beckon us into the village, is there any hospitality in Fushou Village?" Zhong Zhen said unhappily.
Jiang Tianying looked around, he didn't care if he couldn't enter the village or not, it was the excitement around him that made him a little upset.
"Enter the village, this, my father won't let it......" Chu Qing scratched his head helplessly, he posted a list in the county seat, inviting strong people from all walks of life to come to the competition, the village chief and father are extremely opposed, most of these people who can come to the competition are not good people, offending this kind of person is tantamount to inviting disaster.
It's just that the father is old, and the son is too stubborn to discipline at all, and he wants to put on the majesty of being a father and scold a few words, but as soon as his hand is raised, his son has already gone to the house in the shape of a crane.
The son can't control it, but in the village, in the clan, Chu Heng's words still count, and he strictly ordered those who came to compete and fight not to enter the village, that is, they could not enter the village.
Among the three people in the Linjiang Martial Arts Hall, Fang Nanxiong was the leader, in his opinion, since he came, it would be a joke to go back without a competition, but if he wanted to compete in front of so many idlers at the entrance of the village, wouldn't it become a juggling? After thinking about it, he stepped forward and smiled: "There are many people here, it is inconvenient to perform, why don't you change places?"
Chu Qing hurriedly said: "Okay, where do you say to go!"
Fang Nanxiong pointed to the plain in the distance in front of the village and said, "How about the bank of that river beach?"
"Good, I don't have a problem. Chu Qing said with a smile.
"Then you go and lead the horse, and we will wait for you. Jiang Tianying also stepped forward and interjected.
"Hehe......" Chu Qing smiled: "I don't need a horse, you just have to go first, I can naturally follow." ”
Zhong Zhen said strangely: "Ha, we ride a horse, you run with it, and when the time comes, we lose and say that we have no strength to run, but it seems that we have taken advantage." ”
"It's okay, you came from afar and were tired, and I spent some strength just to level it out!" Chu Qing didn't bother to ramble anymore, stretched out his arms, and a crane-shaped jumped onto the treetops, and then jumped away from the treetops......
The three people of the Linjiang Martial Arts Hall were all surprised, just with Chu Qing's hand jumping between the treetops, they had no certainty of winning, so they didn't say anything more and rode their horses to follow.
The people who were waiting to see the excitement suddenly started to coax, they all came all the way to come from afar, how can they say that if they change places, they will change places?
There were a few good players who were hidden in the crowd to spy on the truth and reality, and at this time, they also showed their respective skills, and hurriedly chased after Chu Qing and the three of Linjiang Martial Arts Hall.
The three people of the Linjiang Martial Arts Hall did not spread their horses and galloped, and Chu Qing did not deliberately run too fast, and the four of them ran unhurriedly for seven or eight miles, and they came to the edge of the river beach.
Zhong Zhen got off the horse, took off his purple robe, revealed the strength of the suit inside, took the bamboo sword from the horse, and stepped forward and said, "Then I will come first to understand!"
"Please!" Chu Qing clenched his fists.
Zhong Zhen's footwork was brisk, and he had already stabbed it with a sword.
Chu Qing took a wrong step under his feet, and as soon as his body turned, like an ape hanging on a tree, he had already avoided the opponent's attack and turned behind him.
Zhong Zhen's sword was false, and he instantly twisted his body and backhanded and stabbed again......
The two sides turned a few faces, and Chu Qing already knew that Zhong Zhen's cultivation was not bad, but it was only at the level of his cultivation when he was twelve years old, so he no longer entangled, and buckled the wrist of the opponent's sword in the shape of an ape, and then threw him to the ground with a huge force in the shape of a bear.
Within three moves, the winner has been decided.
Zhong Zhen fell into disgrace, got up and scolded something in his mouth and stepped aside.
Fang Nanxiong looked at Jiang Tianying......
"I'm not going to be ugly. Jiang Tianying said busily, his and Zhong Zhen's cultivation is between the best, and they don't need to compare and ask themselves if they lose.
Fang Nanxiong pursed his lips, his cultivation was higher than the other two, but now he was not at all sure, he originally hoped that Jiang Tianying would go first, then he could also touch Chu Qing's doorway, but that Jiang Tianying was too slippery, and he didn't want to be a touchstone at all.
At this time, the few masters hidden in the crowd had also chased to the riverside, separated by a distance, and did not make a sound, just quietly watched.
"Brother Fang?" Chu Qing urged with a smile, among the three people opposite, he was most interested in learning from Fang Nanxiong, this person had heard of it for a long time, his father was the lieutenant of Linjiang County, don't look at this person's age, he is the little overlord of Linjiang County, most of the business on the streets of the county town has to be operated by his nod, and even Chu Qing's own announcement of the gambling game in the county seat has spent two taels of silver to dot Fang Nanxiong's men.
Fang Nanxiong was also inconvenient to shirk, pulled out two bamboo knives from the horse's back, put a stirrup on his toes, his body was in the air, and he swung the knife directly from the horse's back.
Chu Qingshan turned around Fang Nanxiong after a few moves, and he understood the details of the opponent, Fang Nanxiong's cultivation was slightly higher than Zhong Zhen's, but it was not much different, but his sword skills were closer to actual combat, so he looked much fiercer.
Defeating Fang Nanxiong was a little more difficult than defeating Zhong Zhen, because his two swords echoed each other, and when he grabbed one of his hands, the other hand immediately slashed with his sword.
After five moves, Chu Qing had no patience for this kind of low-level competition, and he made a false move to attract Fang Nanxiong's double swords, and then a tiger shape, his hands pinched the backs of the two knives like tiger claws, and at the same time twisted and pulled, and instantly snatched the two bamboo knives in his hands.
"Concession. Chu Qing returned the bamboo knife to Fang Nanxiong.
Fang Nanxiong took the bamboo knife with one hand, touched a silver ingot with the other hand and threw it to Chu Qing, didn't speak with a black face, turned around and left.
Zhong Zhen was already on the horse, and when he saw Fang Nanxiong admitting defeat to ten taels of silver, he also took out a silver ingot with a cold face and threw it to Chu Qing.
Jiang Tianying took the horse, hugged his fist towards Chu Qing and said, "Admire, Jiang has opened his eyes today." ”
Chu Qing smiled, returned the salute, and didn't say anything, he was a little disappointed, even the Linjiang Martial Arts Hall was just like that, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find a real master in Linjiang County.
"Willing to gamble and lose. Jiang Tianying got on the horse, he didn't make a move, but he also threw a silver ingot to Chu Qing, and the son of this kind of big clan didn't care about this money.
Chu Qing, who had the silver, naturally smiled, but because of this, his impression of Jiang Tianying was slightly better than those two.
Several masters who were watching from a distance had already dispersed, and after seeing the fight between Chu Qing and Fang Nanxiong, they thought about it and asked themselves if they were Chu Qing's opponents.
The three people from the Linjiang Martial Arts Hall were about to say goodbye and leave, when Chu Qing suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
"What?"
Chu Qing said with a smile: "I plan to increase the gambling game tenfold, if I lose, I will lose a thousand taels of silver, I wonder if the three can introduce the master to come?"
"One thousand taels of silver, you are generous, such a big gamble, do you have the capital of one thousand taels?" Fang Nanxiong was lukewarm.
Chu Qingzheng said: "Since I offered this price, I will naturally be able to get this money." ”
Chu Qing actually can't get a thousand taels of silver on hand now, he probably has a net worth of more than five hundred taels, and there is still a gap of four or five hundred taels, but this is not a problem, the inherited nature of a businessman makes him dare to shout a thousand taels if he has one or two, and he shouts more than the real thing.
Zhong Zhen's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Jiang Tianying several times, and finally couldn't help but whisper: "Isn't your cousin a guest at your house now, if you can invite him, I'm afraid you won't be able to win?"
Jiang Tianying hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "This is not suitable, my cousin has official duties, and he can't compare to us idlers." ”
"What's wrong with this!" Fang Nanxiong said unhappily: "It's just that it took a day and a half of a day, you haven't even asked, how do you know if he is willing or not." ”
"Then I'll go and ask, my cousin is so crazy about martial arts, I'm afraid he's really willing to give it a try. Jiang Tianying said helplessly, turned his head and smiled at Chu Qing again: "What you just said is true? ”
Chu Qing hurriedly said: "What Chu said is definitely not child's play, every word is serious, I just want to lose!"
"Hehe, the kid is arrogant......" Jiang Tianying smiled: "That's good, there will be a worship sticker delivered within three days, and I will bring someone to ask for advice again within five days, the person who came this time is not trivial, I advise you to prepare well." ”
Chu Qing was happy: "Okay!
"Then let's take our leave, and come back in a few days!" said the three of them.
Chu Qing walked back alone, the crowd at the entrance of the village did not disperse, and when everyone saw Chu Qing coming back, someone immediately shouted: "It's back, it's back!"
"How's that, who won?"
"yes, whoever wins, let's talk about it!"
Chu Qing didn't bother to pay attention to it, patted the three ingots of silver in his waist bag, went straight into the village, and went home.
