"Hey, Xiao Lu, there are so many people in front of you."
A few people were walking on the street. Shangluo suddenly stood on tiptoes and looked in the direction of the crowds of people. Lu Hanjiang took a look and saw that a group of people had gathered around the place where the streets intersected.
"Xiao Lu, let me go and take a look!"
Shangluo was curious, so she quickly squeezed into the crowd. With her petite body, she could easily pass through the crowded crowd and get to the front row.
Only when she saw this did she realize that someone had set up a ring here. A middle-aged man holding an iron rod in one hand was frequently clasping his fists in greetings to the onlookers. Next to him, there was a flag with four words written on it.
——
Martial arts contest to recruit brides.
"Everyone, everyone——!"
The man was dressed in smart clothes, with a short beard neatly trimmed on his face. He faced everyone and said loudly: "My surname is Li, and my last name is Yan. I am from Shandong. I set up this arena today because I want to find someone for my little daughter."
A wonderful son-in-law."
As Li Yan said that, a woman in green clothes behind him stepped out with a spear in her hand. Without saying a word, she performed a spear dance. She was so energetic and heroic that everyone cheered her up.
Li Yan then said: "My father and daughter have just arrived. If there is anything wrong with me, please take care of me. Today, when choosing a husband, I don't ask for gold, silver, wealth, but I hope he is a hero with outstanding martial arts. If any good man is interested,
, please come forward."
This can be regarded as an old trick of martial arts competition to attract a bride. To put it bluntly, it is a contest of strength. The woman in green on the stage is about fifteen or sixteen years old, but she is already very smart. Perhaps it is because she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child.
Youzhi's figure makes people unable to take their eyes away.
Not long after Li Yan finished speaking, a loud shout came from the audience: "Let someone try it!"
Just hearing the sound of a bell, this man flew over the crowd with his bare hands. When everyone took a look, they saw that this man was huge, seven feet tall, with a black beard and sideburns, tiger eyes and thick eyebrows. He just stood there.
, which makes people feel a sense of danger coming towards them.
At first glance, this man looked like a standard rough man, but from Li Yan's expression, he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong. He cupped his fists towards the opponent and said: "This hero, do you want to pick a weapon that is handy?
"
Li Yan stepped aside, and there were a row of swords, guns and sticks on the shelf behind him.
The big man raised his fist and said: "No need, a certain family can't do those moves, all their kung fu is focused on fists and feet."
"Okay." Li Yan nodded and did not force it. He stepped aside and gave up the arena to the two of them.
The woman in green stood proudly with a gun, raised her left hand slightly, and said one word: "Please."
The man raised his head and took a closer look at the girl. A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes. He immediately calmed down, shouted loudly, and punched out two fists at once, breaking the wind.
The man's movements were as fast as thunder, and his fists were like wind. The woman in green stepped lightly, and managed to dodge every time. The man opened his stance and punched the ground, causing the stone floor to crack.
Come on.
Everyone in the audience was exclaiming as they watched this scene. This scene was extremely thrilling. This man's fist was like a heavy hammer. If he hit that delicate girl's body, he would probably kill half of her life at once.
Some people couldn't help but start to shake their heads and sigh, saying that this man doesn't know how to show mercy to women, but the man on the stage knows his own family affairs. Although his punches are fierce, the woman is not easy to deal with.
After several rounds of fighting, not only did he fail to take advantage, but the opponent was even more at ease. His failure to counterattack was not due to weakness, but disdain.
The man's face turned red from holding back his breath. He held his breath and punched out again. This time, the woman in green did not dodge, but blocked the punch amidst everyone's exclamations.
The iron-like fist landed on the slender gun shaft, but was unable to shake it at all. The woman in green took advantage of the man's daze to jump up and kick him out, hitting him in the chest.
The man screamed in pain and stepped back, falling straight down the stage. Everyone couldn't help but cheer for the woman on the stage.
The woman in green clothes lowered her head and said calmly: "I agree."
After this fight, everyone could see that the little girl in green did have some real skills and was not an ordinary person. At that moment, several people were eager to get on the stage, but unfortunately none of them could survive the opponent's hand for three seconds.
trick.
Shangluo's eyes were shining as she watched from below. She blended in perfectly with the crowd, cheering and clapping along with everyone, and occasionally whistling and making noises. She really didn't look like a girl.
Lu Hanjiang also brought Yongle to the front, and he watched the martial arts competition and marriage-recruitment competition with her next to Shangluo. However, compared to the excitement seen by a layman, he seemed to see a lot of other things.
"Xiao Lu, you"
Shangluo wanted to say smoothly, "You can come up and play too," but when she saw Yongle next to Lu Hanjiang, she swallowed her words unconsciously and turned to Cui Yixiao behind her.
.
The look Shan Luo cast on made Cui Yixiao suddenly feel a chill in his back.
"Hey, Brother Cui, why don't you go and try that girl's kung fu?" Shangluo rubbed her hands and said with a bad smile.
Cui Yixiao smiled bitterly and said: "Girl, please stop joking. I already have a family, how can I go on stage to compete in martial arts?"
Hearing this, Shangluo curled her lips and muttered something like "another one with a family". When Lu Hanjiang heard this, he immediately gave the other party a headache.
What bad things are you always thinking about getting involved in?"
"Don't hit me on the head -" Shangluo complained, covering her forehead, her eyes flashed, and she asked: "Don't you think it's strange, Xiao Lu? How can any girl come out to compete on her own?"
Shangluo's words are reasonable. There are often competitions in the world to recruit brides, but it is rare for the bride to appear on her own behalf. Most of the time, her father or brother will appear on her behalf.
The reason is easy to understand. They are all children of the martial arts. If the bride is really good at martial arts, and the martial arts is so big, there is no place where she can’t show her skills, so why should she be trapped here?
Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows, but did not say anything to argue. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "Speaking of us, you seem to be the only girl here. Since you are so interested, why bother looking far away."
Yongle was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Lu Hanjiang was talking about. She quickly said: "Husband, what are you talking about? A'luo is a woman, how can she be an A'luo?"
By the time he spoke, Shangluo had disappeared. Cui Yixiao lowered his head and looked at his nose and heart, while Lu Hanjiang touched his nose and pretended not to see.
Yongle looked around for a while, and soon she was surprised to see Shangluo, who had changed into men's clothes somewhere, and got on the ring with a single move.
"I'm on the 19th in Xialu. I'm from the south of the Yangtze River. Please give me some advice." Shangluo said in a low voice.
Yongle raised his head and glanced at Lu Hanjiang strangely. The latter's mouth twitched slightly, he wiped his face and said nothing.
On the stage, the girl in green clothes saw a handsome young man approaching, her eyes moved slightly, she cupped her fists and said, "Young Master, please."
After the words fell, Shangluo stepped on her foot and immediately swung her sword out. A bit of surprise flashed across the woman's face, a bit of contempt disappeared, and her eyes gradually became serious.
At this moment, Li Yan, who was standing on one side of the ring, looked at Shangluo on the stage, his expression gradually becoming serious.
