Chapter 21 Martial arts competition to recruit relatives
() On this day, Zheng Xie and Guo Jing had dinner in the hotel. He said: "Brother Guo, this is my first time in the capital. Let's go to the streets and have a look."
Guo Jing figured out that it was still early for him to go to Jiaxing Zuixian Tower for an appointment, so he responded: "Okay, this is my first time in the capital, and it is much more lively here than outside the Great Wall."
Zheng Xie said: "Then let's see the charm of Dadu."
It was already early winter, the wind was blowing coldly, and the crowds on the street were all wrapped in thick coats. There were one after another on both sides of the street, but the sound of hawking continued.
The two left the hotel and walked along the most crowded street. After taking just a few steps, they saw a large group of people gathered in front of them, but they didn't know what they were looking at.
Zheng Xie smiled and said, "Brother Guo, let's go over and have a look."
"Okay." Guo Jing also became curious. This silly boy felt so new about everything in Kyoto.
Relying on their strength, the two squeezed into the crowd and saw a large open space in the middle of the crowd. On the open space was a banner with red flowers on a white background and four large golden characters on it - "Contest to recruit a bride"
”.
"This is Mu Nianci." When Zheng Xie saw these four words, he immediately thought of that person.
Mu Nianci's life is like a cup, and her experiences in life can be summed up in one sentence: an embroidered shoe.
"Poor people must be hateful. This girl is too honest, but - I like her!" Zheng She secretly thought.
Thinking like this, he focused his attention on the field and saw a graceful, beautiful and quiet woman standing under the brocade flag. This woman looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slim figure, slender waist and long hair.
She has a face with oval seeds, bright eyes and white teeth, and a beautiful face. She is really good-looking. No wonder it attracts so many people to watch.
In addition, there was a middle-aged man wearing coarse linen clothes with slightly white temples. He bowed his hands and said: "My surname is Mu, and my name is Yi, from Shandong. When passing through your land, I don't ask for your name, and I don't do it for you."
The reason for this is that the little girl has reached the age of hair and has not yet promised to marry her husband. She once made a wish not for her husband to be rich, but for him to be a hero with superb martial arts skills, so she boldly competed in martial arts to recruit a bride. If she is under thirty years old, she has not yet married.
When it comes to marriage, whoever can beat my daughter's punches and kicks will be betrothed to him."
This man was Yang Tiexin, who later changed his name to Mu Yi. Seeing that no one was on the field, he looked up at the sky and muttered a few sighs to himself. Just as he was about to put away the banner and go home, something suddenly changed in the field.
"Wait a minute." At this time, two people in the crowd shouted at the same time, and two figures jumped out from the crowd at the same time. On the left was a fat old man with white hair, and on the right was a great monk with a happy appearance.
As soon as these two people appeared, the crowd burst into laughter.
Guo Jing frowned and said, "How can these two people, a monk and an old man, marry such a beautiful girl?"
Zheng Xie echoed: "That's right. If you marry these two people, wouldn't you be blinding such a good girl in vain?"
Guo Jing encouraged: "How about Brother Zheng go up? With Brother Zheng's skills, no one else can beat you."
Zheng Xie pretended to be regretful and said: "People can't help themselves in the world. I am homeless myself. How can I delay other people's girls?"
Guo Jing stood in awe.
While the two were talking, the old man and the monk had already started fighting. Both of them were using martial arts fists and kicks, which were very ordinary. They fought back and forth for a while, but no one got the upper hand.
Then they fired the real fire and drew their weapons to fight.
Yang Tiexin shouted loudly: "You two, stop it quickly. This is the capital's land. You must not wield knives or guns."
Guo Jing said: "That old man is right, this is not good, don't kill anyone."
Zheng Sheshun put the pole on the shelf and took the opportunity to say: "Since Brother Guo can't stand it, I'll separate them!" After saying that, he walked into the field.
Everyone's eyes were dazzled when they saw a handsome young man advancing between the two of them. He opened his hands leisurely and took their weapons, one on the left and the other on the right, and said: "Please stop, you two. I
It's a happy event, why bother killing people?"
The audience cheered loudly.
The old man on the left said: "Boy, it's none of your business."
The monk on the right said: "You are attracted to this girl because she is good-looking."
Zheng Xie said displeasedly: "You two are messing around, don't blame Zheng for being rude." After saying that, with a flick of his hands, the two people were thrown away by him and rolled into the crowd like gourds rolling on the ground.
He stood up and walked away dejectedly.
The audience burst into laughter.
Zheng Xie brushed his clothes and was about to leave when Yang Tiexin called out: "Wait a minute, young man, please stay. I see that you are good at martial arts. I wonder if you are already married?"
Zheng Xie cupped his fists and said, "I misunderstood. I just saw that those two people didn't seem to be a good match, so I couldn't help but take action."
Yang Tiexin said: "That means you are not married yet."
Zheng Xie laughed and did not deny it.
Yang Tiexin was overjoyed, but he found Zheng Xie very pleasing to his eye, and said: "Since Your Excellency has already come to the stage, let's have a test with my little girl. If you can beat my little girl in one and a half moves, you can achieve something good. Do you think my little girl is not worthy?
Your Excellency."
Zheng Xie hurriedly said: "Your love is extremely beautiful, but I am not worthy of the girl."
Guo Jing shouted in the crowd: "Brother Zheng, let's have a competition!"
The crowd also followed suit, clamoring to see the handsome guy and the beautiful girl compete.
Zheng Xie pretended to refuse, and said quietly: "That's good!"
Mu Nianci also walked out with a blushing face. Just as the two of them were about to take action, a clear voice sounded outside the court: "Wait a minute and do it."
The audience was separated by several people wearing servant clothes. A young man in brocade clothes wearing a luxurious robe walked into the venue, glanced at the silk banner and Mu Nianci who stood under it, and said: "This girl is competing for marriage.
.”
Yang Tiexin said: "What advice does this young master have?"
Needless to say, this person is none other than Yang Kang! He said: "Since it's a competition to recruit a bride, I'll give it a try."
Yang Tiexin looked at him and then at the followers who had just squeezed into the crowd. He felt unhappy and said, "This... this young hero is the one who came first."
Yang Kang said proudly: "It's simple. I just beat him down first. Isn't it a martial arts competition to find the one with the best martial arts skills?"
Zheng Xie said: "Zheng is not too troublesome. As long as your Excellency swears an oath, after winning the competition, it will be revealed that the matchmaker is marrying this girl into the house, and I will withdraw automatically."
Yang Kang raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Who are you? This girl is not your sister. Why do you have to meddle in your own business?"
Zheng She said: "So you are not agreeing. If the young master is just here to have fun and relieve his boredom, then please come back."
Guo Jing shouted in the crowd: "Brother Zheng is right. If you compete in martial arts and don't want to get married, wouldn't you miss someone else's girl?"
Yang Kang's face darkened, he suddenly took a step forward, raised his hand and struck Zheng She in the middle, and shouted: "This is my first time meeting such a blind person like you."
"Me too."
Zheng Xie snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed his wrist, then threw him away with a flick of his hand.
The entourage hurriedly caught him, and three more people turned into gourds on the ground, with gray heads and faces, which was very embarrassing.
Someone in the crowd said: "This young man is spoiled and pampered, how can he know anything about it?"
Then someone shouted: "Hey, if you lose, you'll get rid of me."
Yang Kang broke away from his entourage, with a confused expression on his face. He took off his robe and walked into the field again. He raised his hand and made two false blows, blowing out the wind. This time, he used real skills, and the wind from his palm reached three feet.
outside.
"What a strong skill!" Some knowledgeable people among the crowd couldn't help but be moved.
"Take the move!" Yang Kang took two hurried steps, clawing at Zheng She with his five fingers.
Seeing this, Guo Jing couldn't help shouting: "Brother Zheng, be careful!"
The ending was exactly the same as before. Zheng Xie reached out and grabbed his wrist and sneered: "The posture is good, but it's a pity that your training method is wrong. Go back."
