Jiang Shang and Yu Han were already ready, waiting for her to come out. When Jiang Shang saw her, his eyes lit up and he praised sincerely, "It's very beautiful."
She was probably dressed in a chivalrous way, and her smile was a bit flamboyant, "Thank you." After saying that, she turned around in a circle, "Do you think I look like a chivalrous heroine who punishes the strong and helps the weak?"
Jiang Shang naturally nodded, and Yu Han said, "Are you going to do chivalry with your bare hands?"
Manmei suddenly realized, "I told you why I always feel like something is missing. I thought it was because I wasn't suitable."
The fan in Jiang Shang's hand was his weapon, while Yu Han used a sword. There was a belt buckle on his waist, so he could hang the sword on his left waist and pull it out when needed.
Manmei glanced at the fan in Jiang Shang's hand, then at the sword on Yu Han's body, and considered whether to bring a weapon to show off.
But she doesn't know how to use a fan. Jiang Shang's fan is made of fine iron and is very heavy to hold. Let alone using it to fight, she will probably lose her hand when hitting someone with it.
Yu Han's long sword looks quite handsome, but the problem is that he still can't use it, and it is difficult to pull out the long sword. Without long-term practice, it is difficult to quickly unsheath the sword in case of trouble. If you don't believe that you can go home
I took the long sword used by the old people for exercise and tried it to see if I could pull it out quickly. Qin Shihuang couldn't pull it out immediately after being assassinated by Jing Ke, so he only pulled it out from behind after being reminded by the minister.
The weapons of the maids are lancets, which are slightly wider than the blades of long swords and are easy to pull out, but they use formations, so their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced when fighting alone.
After much deliberation, I couldn't find one that suited me. Manmei didn't take it too seriously. After all, she didn't want to compete in the ring or anything like that. It didn't matter if it was something for the occasion.
Jiang Shang couldn't bear to let her down, so he talked to the maid and took out a belt.
The belt is made of cooked cowhide, which is very strong and looks very heavy. Most of the heroes in the martial arts hang weapons on their waists for easy access. This kind of belt is very common and does not feel unusual.
The waist buckle in the middle of the belt is made of gold and jade, with a slender oval pattern. The whole width of the gold and jade is the same as the belt. The carving is "Sihe Ruyi", that is, the Ruyi head is used as the basic pattern to create four-way symmetry.
Continuous is the 'Four Directions Continuous' pattern. The warm light green Xiu Jade goes well with graceful clothes. The belt is white and the colors match well.
Jiang Shang took the belt in his hand and demonstrated the mechanism of the belt to Man Miao, "Press the gold-inlaid jade waist buckle, press it down, and then pull it out with all your strength.
With a snap, he pulled out a small dagger. The blade of the dagger was about the length of a palm, with some curvature, probably to fit it into the belt. The dagger was very sharp, and the sharp blade reflected the coldness of metal in the sunlight.
light.
"My grandpa made this for my mother when she was young. This time she heard that you were in danger and sent someone to bring it to you for self-defense. It was just delivered this morning, just in time for you to use it." Jiang
As he spoke, Shang put the dagger back and handed the belt to Manmiao for her to test.
Manmiao took it and pressed it. She obviously felt a very slight clicking sound. She pulled out the dagger hard, but the estimated force was not accurate. She used a lot of force, but she pulled out the dagger easily, almost scratching her.
onto one's own face.
Jiang Shang, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed her hand and shook his head, "This is a mechanism specially made for women. It doesn't need to be so strong."
Manmiao reinserted the dagger, tried it again, and then successfully pulled out the dagger.
This belt was a real help in times of need. She had been looking for a suitable weapon to defend herself, but she couldn't find it.
He smiled at Jiang Shang and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Jiang, for me. It's really timely."
Jiang Shang laughed when he heard this. Men probably like their mothers to have a good relationship with their wives. Without a relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it gives them a headache. "When you go back with me, you can thank her yourself."
After hearing this, Manmei smiled shyly, turned around and went into the house to put on the belt, feeling a little more at ease. This is something that I carry with me. How to return it to Mrs. Jiang is also a problem, but this is not what we should consider now.
matter,
By the time Manmei packed up and came out, it was almost time to head to the venue of the martial arts conference.
Jiang Shang is a seed-level player in this martial arts competition, so being late will have a bad impact.
Manmiao got into the carriage obediently, while Jiang Shang and Yu Han rode on both sides of the carriage.
The curtains were raised in the carriage, and from this look, Jiang Shang and Yu Han's horses were carefully selected.
Jiang Shang's is a tall, pure white horse. Jiang Shang is originally about 1.8 meters tall, and this horse is even more about 1.5 meters tall. There is no trace of color in the whole body. You can tell at a glance that he spent a lot of money to buy it.
Yu Han's horse is a completely black horse with only four hoofs that have a ring of white hair. Both horses are tall and have big eyes, high heads and necks, and strong limbs. They feel a bit like they are used for ceremonial purposes.
horse, not war horse.
I remember it was said in the historical documentary that Mongolian horses are more suitable for war. They are hardy and not afraid of the cold. They can adapt to extremely extensive feeding and management. They have strong vitality and can survive in harsh and harsh conditions. How can the Mongolian cavalry have such a record?
, Mongolian horses contributed a lot.
Moreover, Jiang Shang and Yu Han had never ridden these two horses before. They were probably specially prepared for the martial arts competition. It seems that the Jiang family has invested a lot of money in this competition.
The martial arts conference is a grand event held once every ten years in the country of Yue. Everyone, famous or not, will go to see the excitement.
In this situation, it is impossible for a certain family's mansion to meet the needs.
A common practice is to find separate courtyards of two aristocratic families to greet guests, and then build several wooden arenas with a height of several people in a large open space to facilitate the onlookers to watch the competition.
There are also some people with high status in the martial arts world who will sit on high pergolas and serve as judges.
To put it simply, it is an ancient society that combines large-scale entertainment competitions with star-making activities.
After listening to Jiang Shang's introduction, Manmiao rolled her eyes. Isn't this the Yue version of a good man? It's just that they are performing talents, while they are performing martial arts.
It is said that the martial arts conference elects the leader of the martial arts league. It is said that the leader of the martial arts league usually chooses someone under the age of 40. So far, there has never been a woman.
To be honest, a person under the age of forty is basically a young man with a newly grown beard in aristocratic families. How can he be the leader of the Yue Kingdom's martial arts?
After Jiang Shang introduced it like this, Manmei understood that this martial arts tournament was probably a special copy launched by aristocratic families to build reputation for their successors.
