Duan Duan, an elegant and charming lady dressed in men's clothing, ignored her manners and shouted with all the warriors: "Zhang Kui, teach him a lesson. If you win... I will be rewarded heavily!"
Miss Zhang became interested, so she took out another ten-tael silver note from her sleeve, and said with a cheerful smile: "Did you see it? Whoever wins this battle can take away the ten-tael silver prize!"
Zhang Kui responded quickly: "Hey!"
Shen Lie smiled slightly.
In the hot atmosphere, Shen Lie and Zhang Kui faced each other at a distance of two meters, each holding fists toward the other.
The surroundings became quiet.
Zhang Kui smiled and looked down on Shen Lie at all. He stepped forward and grabbed Shen Lie's shoulders with his big, calloused hands, while using his feet to trip him up.
But Shen Lie's legs were slightly spread apart, his waist was lowered and he was sitting on the horse, but his body didn't move at all.
Not to mention Zhang Kui, even Tian Hong and his Jin Yiwei were slightly stunned. Looking at Shen Lie who was very stable, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
These are all experts, and you can tell at a glance that Shen Lie's kung fu is not simple.
Zhang Kui was stunned, took a few steps back and looked at Shen Lie carefully, and let out a soft cry: "Ouch... twice!"
Shen Lie smiled slightly and said loudly: "Guard Zhang, be careful."
When it comes to battlefield skills such as killing enemies in battle, riding horses and archery, Shen Lie may not be as good as Zhang Kui, but this is a martial arts competition, and the emphasis is on close combat.
Shen Lie's experience in underground black boxing for many years gave him a better chance of winning.
The words just fell.
Shen Lie then got into a fighting stance and thrust a jab straight into Zhang Kui's face. Zhang Kui was not someone to be trifled with, so he instinctively raised his arms to protect the middle.
However, Shen Lie suddenly squatted down, took a lunge step, and his jab turned into an iron elbow, thrust out with thunderous force.
At the same time, Shen Lie exhaled and said, "Drink!"
This elbow was too fast, too sudden, and powerful. It hit Zhang Kui's chest. Zhang Kui couldn't avoid it for a moment. He took a few big steps back and then sat down on the ground.
There was a sudden silence all around.
Zhang Jingxiu opened his eyes wide in surprise. Tian Hong and several Jin Yiwei's eyes flashed. They looked at Zhang Kui who was sitting on the ground with a painful expression and were speechless for a moment.
Shen Lie quickly put away his fist and asked Zhang Kui with concern: "How?"
Zhang Kui got up with a red face, rubbed his painful chest, and said with a forced smile: "It doesn't matter."
After the pain subsided, Zhang Kui's expression returned to normal, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Shen Lie, convinced by this elbow.
"Brother Shen is so good at martial arts!"
Tian Hong also came to his senses and asked in surprise: "What kind of punch is this?"
Shen Lie smiled slightly and said loudly: "Baji."
Tian Hong, Zhang Kui and other martial artists tasted these two words carefully, with a trace of confusion in their eyes, but they couldn't hide the fear. The power of this Bajiquan was really shocking.
This cubit!
There are really not many people who can stop it.
Tian Hong looked solemn and asked cautiously: "Tian has something unclear, but I don't know which family or sect this Bajiquan, Brother Shen, comes from?"
He quickly went through the martial arts and schools in this world in his mind, but...
Never heard of it.
Under the attention of everyone, Shen Lie smiled slightly and said modestly: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, this Bajiquan is Shen's own harvest style."
Tian Hong, Zhang Kui and the Jinyi guards present were even more shocked. The look of awe in their eyes was even deeper. How old is this guy? He can actually create his own boxing technique?
Even Zhang Jingxiu opened his eyes wide in surprise and opened his small mouth so wide that it could fit a duck egg in it.
Tian Hong looked at Shen Lie, his eyes sparkling, and laughed loudly: "Shopkeeper Shen is too modest. If your powerful fists and kicks are like a crop, how will we deal with it?"
Shen Lie smiled slightly, and then walked up to Zhang Jingxiu in front of everyone's attention. He stretched out his hand and snatched the 10-tael silver note from Miss Zhang's hand.
Then he hugged his fists towards Miss Zhang and said, "Chenghui Shiliang, thank you very much."
Zhang Jingxiu was stunned, looking at his money-obsessed look, he couldn't help but get angry: "You are a money-obsessed guy, can't you cover up the smell of copper in your body!"
Only a short time ago, twelve taels of silver were gone...
Watching her getting angry again and again.
Shen Lie, of course, kept his expression calm and his heart not beating. He stuffed the ten taels of silver notes silently into his sleeves and hid them, then showed a contented smile and said to himself...
What kind of business can I do if I am not obsessed with money?
Zhang Jingxiu was ashamed and angry, her pretty face turned red. Her bright eyes turned around on Shen Lie's honest face, but she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This smile is naturally bright and moving, just like a blooming peony flower, making people's hearts beat involuntarily, and a strange smell fills the air.
Beside, Tian Hong and others started laughing.
"haha."
The happy day passed like this.
At night, Taishi Mansion.
As night falls, the Grand Master's Mansion, with its doors tightly closed, is immersed in peace and tranquility. In the elegant courtyard deep inside the palace, maids and wives are constantly coming in and out.
It was hazy in the boudoir at the moment.
Zhang Jingxiu, who was sweating after spending a whole day in Bianyifang, took off his loose Confucian clothes, stepped into the bathtub with his straight and smooth legs, and soaked his slender body in the hot water. , and let out a groan of pleasure.
Then she gently kicked her long beautiful legs, kicked the rose petals in the water, and hummed her favorite ditty.
The maid, wearing thin clothes, served beside her, heating water, scrubbing the young lady's snow-white skin with soap locust and a towel, and then picked up the white Confucian clothes.
Seeing the dust on the Confucian clothes and some eye-catching dirt, the maid couldn't help but wonder, where has the young lady been all day and why is she covered in dirt?
Could it be...
He must have gone to that cheap shop again.
The maid touched her little head strangely, and quickly took away the dirty Confucian clothes, and then brought in the clean and soft bellyband, tube top, and new clothes.
Zhang Jingxiu, who was soaking in hot water and humming a little tune amid the flickering candlelight, looked very happy and cheerful on her pretty face, like a carefree little girl.
As the beauty came out of the bath, she put on high-end Sichuan brocade trousers and a tube top. She sat in front of the dressing table with her back straight. She was naturally beautiful even though she didn't apply makeup.
While being served by the pretty maid, combing her beautiful hair, Zhang Jingxiu picked up a stack of greeting cards on the dressing table with her delicate hands.
Looking through the exquisite greetings, most of them were posts from young gentlemen who were attached to the Zhang family, and romantic talents invited her to participate in poetry gatherings and garden parties.
Randomly throwing these greetings aside, Zhang Jingxiu covered her mouth and yawned, lay down on the embroidered bed a little tired, and fell asleep not long after.
As the maid blew out the red candle, the eldest lady's even and pure breathing sounded in the boudoir shrouded in night.
The maid walked out of the boudoir quietly and closed the door. She couldn't help but touch her head in confusion. She felt that the young lady seemed to be a little different recently.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a poetry gathering or a garden tour…
Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye it will be ten days later.
Late March, early April.
As the warm sun rose in the east, Shen Lie opened the store door, looked at the newly decorated lobby, counters, and tables and chairs, and stretched out comfortably.
The decoration of the expanded braised pork and BBQ restaurant has been roughly completed.
