As soon as Liu Jing shouted "stop", Gan Ning immediately stopped his stormy offensive, lowered his halberd and stood upright. Looking at his calm demeanor, he was sending and receiving from his heart. It was obvious that he was not using his full strength.
Cai Sheng was a little unhappy. He thought that Liu Jing had called to stop too early. Although he was at a disadvantage, he was not completely without the strength to fight.
However, he also admitted that Gan Ning was superior to him in martial arts. His best swordsmanship was restrained by his double halberds, and he was not used to using swords. In a normal sparring match, he would definitely lose. Only by fighting with one's life could he have a chance of winning.
winning rate.
Aboard the entire large ship, there were hundreds of spectators, all of whom were silent.
Cai Sheng abandoned his sword and returned his sword, cupping his fists at Gan Ning and saying, "Brother Gan is extremely skilled in martial arts and has mastered the essence of the two halberds of 'dragon and tiger interact with each other, and the gods change impermanently'. It's eye-opening. I'm going to admit defeat."
Having said that, Cai Sheng looked a little depressed. He taught himself swordsmanship successfully and had hundreds of sword fights with others. He had never encountered an evenly matched opponent and could often defeat his opponent with just a few moves. Over time, Cai Sheng developed the habit of being invincible.
I had so much self-confidence that I never thought that I would lose one day. Who would have thought that as soon as I left Changsha, I would be slapped on the head.
There are so many heroes in the world. It seems that I was arrogant in the past.
"It's just a competition, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose. Brother Cai's martial arts skills are all on the sword, and he is not familiar with the fighting method, so he can only use 60 to 70% of his 100% martial arts skills." At this point, Gan Ning suggested to him: "The sword is an ordinary man's.
The skills are used in battles in the village. Now that Brother Cai has joined the army, his sword skills are of little use. He should read more military books and practice hard on bows, horses, spears, halberds, and swords."
"Brother Gan's kind words, I will keep them in mind." Cai Sheng said solemnly. "Please."
"please."
Liu Jing turned around to greet the two of them, but found that Ma Zhou, Liu Liang and others were all uneasy. They had full confidence in Cai Sheng and never thought that he would lose, so it was difficult to accept it for a while.
Liu Jing burst out laughing. If they knew who Gan Ning was, maybe they wouldn't be so hard to accept. Gan Ning was the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms. In later generations, Li Cunxiao was compared to Gan Ning. Cai Sheng could fight with him.
Liu Jing was pleasantly surprised because of the "coming and going". You know, Gan Ning is already in his thirties, and Cai Sheng is only 21 years old. There is still a lot of room for growth. His future is really exciting.
.
Cai Sheng and Gan Ning came back with arms crossed. Cai Sheng looked ashamed and said to Liu Jing: "Liu Jun, I lost."
"There is no one who is always victorious and undefeated in the world. Victory or defeat in a moment is nothing to worry about. Hongchao should not take it too seriously." Liu Jing comforted Cai Sheng in a harmonious voice, and then said to Gan Ning: "Brother Gan is superb in martial arts. I'm afraid he will look around.
There are not many rivals in the world."
Gan Ning laughed and said: "Liu Jun's words are too much praise. I would rather be ashamed than deserve it."
"This is what I hear from my heart." Liu Jing clapped his hands and laughed, "Come on, let's continue drinking to our heart's content."
"promise."
After a fight, everyone became closer. Everyone admired Gan Ning's martial arts. Drinking was another matter. Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou, and Liu Liang took turns toasting. Gan Ning was also a good drinker.
, welcome all who come, drink until the glass is dry.
The alcohol in Zuixiangju was much higher than the current wine. Gan Ning did not know the depth of it. He soon became so drunk that he could not even walk steadily. Liu Jing was afraid of an accident and did not dare to let him go. He stayed here.
Overnight on board the ship.
The next day Gan Ning sobered up and had a banquet with everyone before leaving satisfied.
The place where Gan Ning was stationed was only more than ten miles away from the Deng family's residence where Liu Jing settled. In the next few days, Gan Ning came to visit frequently. If Liu Jing had time, he would receive him personally. If not, he would let Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou and others do it for him. Of.
Lai Gong, Pan Jun, Wang Can and others were all surprised by Liu Jing's behavior. Only Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Jing didn't care about his status. He was able to make friends with famous people and recruit heroes.
Time flies, and October 9th arrives in a blink of an eye.
I don’t know whether it was due to Pan Jun’s divination or God’s blessing. The sky was clear and the wind had stopped. It was a good weather for traveling. Liu Jing had been making final preparations for the welcome since he got up in the morning. Until dusk, everything is ready and everyone sets off.
Why wait until dusk to set off? It turns out that "the ceremony of marrying a wife is in the evening, hence the name." According to the "Shitun Rites", a man should welcome his bride in the "first dusk". It is named after dusk. So it is called the evening ceremony. Today’s wedding comes from this.
Today, Liu Jing is wearing a high crown and a light crimson wedding auspicious suit decorated with black. He looks dignified and solemn. He is sitting in the wedding ink car. There are dozens of entourage cars and three hundred people wearing robes. At Xuanduan, strong and powerful soldiers guarded the left and right sides. Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou, Liu Zhu, Liu Liang and others were riding horses and holding lamps and candles to lead the way.
The late scholar Cai Yong's "Xiehe Marriage Ode" once said: "The two tribes respect decorations and have orderly manners. Guests and party members gather together to pray. Cars and clothes illuminate the road, and they dance like dances. Once the door screen is completed, the knot Get off the rails. Afu is standing upright, and the geese are moving in a hurry."
Cai Yong's poem describes the grand occasion of the personal welcome, which is vividly written on the paper, making people feel as if they were there in person. Compared with Liu Jing's personal welcome, the grandness and grandeur of Liu Jing's personal welcome are even worse.
The Deng family's villa is located in the southwest of Xinye, and the Deng family's residence is located ten miles north of Xinye. Therefore, when Liu Jing's motorcade passed through Xinye, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the city. People in the city rushed to watch, and the scene was very lively. , no less than when we were outing.
Such lively scenes are not common on weekdays. The people of Xinye were in high spirits and followed the motorcade all the way to the residence of the Deng family.
The astonishing size of Liu Jing's welcoming motorcade also greatly surprised the Deng clan. According to rumors, wasn't Liu Jing a down-and-out son from the borderlands of Changsha? Why was his car so well-dressed?
The vehicle stopped in front of the Deng family's residence. Liu Jingtiyan, wearing a crown and a long sword, got out of the car and led everyone into the gate of the Deng family's residence under the guidance of the Deng family member.
Deng's Mansion is a vast area, with all the houses carved and painted, with water flowing into it and rocks forming mountains, showing a clear and exquisite landscape. Unlike his shallow-sighted predecessor, Liu Jing behaved extraordinarily calmly and calmly. He had never seen anything in his previous life. However, a mere group of ancient garden buildings was not enough to shock him.
After walking through the corridor and passing through the courtyard, Liu Jing led the crowd straight to the back hall. Deng You and his second son Deng Chong and Deng Lang, all wearing high hats and scarlet robes, stood in the hall.
Liu Jing paid attention to Deng and his son, and then his eyes fell on a girl next to the three of them. When he saw it, his heart skipped a beat.
She has a towering high bun and a dazzling hairpin decoration. She is wearing a gorgeous light crimson wedding dress and is sitting quietly on the couch. Her demeanor is charming and her behavior is detailed, just like a goddess.
This is my wife!
At this moment, Liu Jing wanted to give her all the beautiful words in the world.
