After the man entered the house, Heifu saw clearly that he was a man with sideburns and three red birthmarks on the left side of his face that looked like leopard prints. He was in his twenties, and his hair was stained with rainwater. This man was not very particular, so he kicked his heel. He closed the door and said cursingly: "What are you doing standing still? Give me a piece of cloth to wipe it with!"
At this time, Heifu discovered that he had been shocked by his reputation just now, and everyone stood up again. Especially Ping, Ke, and Bu, who lived in the county town. They came over like slaves and handed over his He handed the cloth towel to the man.
"This is Leopard. He lives in the east gate of the county. Everyone calls him Dongmen Leopard. He has been known as a brave man since he was a child. After inheriting his father's title of Duke, no one dared to mess with him..." Zhi came over to Hei. The two husbands said, it can be seen that everyone in the room is a little afraid of leopards.
"Are the two latecomers here?"
At this time, Dongmen Leopard also noticed that there was a newcomer, and came over to look at Ji Ying, with disdain on his face, raised his thick eyebrows, and began to look at Hei Fu.
Dongmen Leopard did look like a leopard, with three birthmarks on his face that looked like leopard prints. Although he was very strong, he was only seven feet tall and half a head shorter than Hei Fu, but his eyes showed no signs of weakness at all. He glared at Hei Fu for a few seconds. He glanced at the bun on Hei Fu's head and said, "Are you also a public servant?"
"Yes, this is the black man from Yunmengxiang who was worshiped as a public servant today for capturing a thief!" Ji Ying was not angry at Dongmen Bao's rudeness to him, so he agreed angrily.
"Did Mr. Nai ask you?" Dongmen Bao's eyes widened, so fierce that Ji Ying took half a step back in fright.
"This gentleman." Heifu also spoke, still unhurriedly: "We are both serving together, what can't we say carefully?"
"Who is Paoze with you?"
The Dongmen Leopard was stunned. He jumped onto the straw mat in one step, held out his chest, put his hands on his hips and announced: "Nai Gong has long said that I will do something great in this battle. You are all mine." subordinate!"
Ping, Ke, Ke, three people echoed in succession, Xiao Tao shrank into the corner in fear, Pig and Mu were silent, and even the older Uncle Chao dared not speak in anger.
Heifu understood that this Dongmen Leopard seemed to have gained leadership in the room on the first day of the gathering and became the boss of the room. Everyone should be careful to respect him until he did something great. , in the next month, we must follow his lead.
Ji Ying was the first to refuse. He said, "I heard that anyone with the title of Duke can be a military official. My brother Heifu is also a Duke! He can get the title through meritorious service."
"Black husband?"
Dongmen Bao obviously heard about Hei Fu, so he calmed down his arrogance a little, nodded and said: "So you are Hei Fu. If you really have the skills they said, I will make you the team leader, what do you think?"
Unexpectedly, Hei Fu smiled and said, "If I told you, what would you like to do?"
"Then you are my rival!"
Dongmen Bao was a hot-blooded young man with a bad temper. He was stunned at first. After he found out that his kindness was rejected, he became furious. He immediately pointed at Heifu and said: "Come on, let me compete with you. Let me give it a try too." , your skill of fighting three thieves against one person and grabbing a white blade with bare hands is real or fake!"
With that said, he rolled up his sleeves and walked over aggressively.
Everyone in the room was shocked, and Uncle Chao at the wall also shook his head. This was already the first time he had served on duty, and he expected to get through it safely, but these young people fought over trivial matters...
He had already planned that after the two of them started fighting, he would make an appointment with the other seven people to go to the Baijiang and the garrison commander to file a complaint, so as to avoid Quan Shi being punished by sitting together.
However, Heifu did not confront Dongmen Bao head-on. He took a step back, raised his hand to stop him and said, "Wait a minute!"
However, Dongmen Leopard pressed forward step by step, and said provocatively: "Why, are you afraid?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm thinking about you." As soon as Hei Fu said this, Dongmen Bao stopped.
"what for?"
"Don't you know the laws of the Qin State? Those who have military merits will each be judged according to their leadership. They will fight for their own interests and be punished according to their severity! If you and I have a fight in this room, no matter who wins or loses, once they are discovered, they will all be punished.
He must be punished by the law, be sentenced to torture, and have his sideburns and beard shaved off.”
Hei Fu touched his smooth chin and said with a smile: "I don't care about this, but it's you who have had those sideburns on your face for countless years and you have to shave them off! Isn't it a pity?"
At first glance, Dongmen Leopard looks like a brave and ruthless person, with the style of a Chu-Yue ranger. I really don’t know how he has survived for so many years in the Qin State with strict laws. But after being awakened by Hei Fu, he also touched himself
He was a little hesitant because if he shaved his beard, wouldn’t he be laughed at by people in the same place for the rest of his life...
"Besides." Hei Fu pointed at the people in the room and said: "We have been organized into one Shi, and we are in the same room. That means we are dependent on each other for misfortunes and blessings. According to the joint sitting system, if one person commits a crime, all Shi Shi will be punished. You and I
It would be easy to fight at the cost of torture, but it would hurt everyone, so why bother."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room immediately had a good impression of Heifu. Even Uncle Chao nodded slightly, feeling that this young man was very considerate.
In fact, what Heifu is more worried about is that once the two of them fight, other people, especially the uncle, will definitely file a complaint immediately to seek immunity. When he was not guilty, he was almost beaten twenty times by Nabin Baifu.
Board, how could you be so stupid as to hit the muzzle of a gun yourself?
"But no matter what, there is only one length." Dongmen Leopard still refused to give up.
After finally giving up his idea of using force to decide the outcome, Heifu took the opportunity and said, "I have a way for you and me to compete without violating the ban on private fighting!"
"What method!" Dongmen Leopard's eyes lit up.
Hei Fu rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "How about we decide the winner by wrestling with each other's arms?"
…
Everyone knows that arm wrestling is a game that every man has tried countless times since he was a child. After school and work, he clears the desk of the random items, puts his elbows on the table with his friends, and has a free duel.
.This is especially true in the police academy. Sometimes the students will be organized to have an arm-wrestling competition during the school sports meeting.
But if we want to trace it back, when exactly this kind of game started to exist, I’m afraid no one can tell.
But Heifu now made a big discovery, because after he proposed an arm wrestling, Dongmen Bao not only had no objection, but also accepted it happily. He sat down on the ground, rolled up the narrow sleeve of his right hand, and propped his elbow on the earthen platform.
, with this posture, he obviously knows how to play.
"It seems that the history of arm wrestling can at least be traced back to the Warring States Period." Heifu thought to himself, sitting on the ground, opening the sleeve of his right hand, revealing the eye-catching blood scab...
"Is your right hand injured?" With the last bit of light before nightfall, Dongmen Leopard saw Heifu's injury and frowned.
"I was injured in the fight with three thieves a few days ago. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter." Heifu didn't seem to take it to heart. He was about to put his elbow on the soil platform as he spoke.
"How can this be done!"
However, Dongmen Bao seemed to have been burned by something, and immediately retracted his right hand and muttered: "In this case, wouldn't it mean that I took advantage of you! No, a true man must act with magnanimity, even if he wins today
Even if you can't win with force, then how can I, Dongmen Zong, have the appearance to gain a foothold in Anlu County?"
Although Dongmen Leopard is a reckless man who bullies the weak and doesn't know much about laws and regulations, he is open-minded in everything and refuses all unfair competitions. This is the code of conduct for such rural "scholars" during the Warring States Period.
Now Hei Fu wants to use his injured right arm to arm-wrestle with him, how can he not be affected? This is simply looking down on him! What a gain in this way, Dongmen Leopard might as well not have it.
"In that case." Heifu said with a smile: "Then you and I will fight with our left hands instead, how about that?"
"Left hand?" When Dongmen Bao heard this, he felt very strange: "I have never broken arms with anyone with my left hand, so this is very good!"
Dongmen Leopard did not doubt that he was there, so he changed his left hand and stared at Hei Fu with confidence!
Hei Fu smiled in his heart. Sure enough, this guy was still an honest man under his ferocious appearance. Although Dongmen Bao's left hand was still strong and strong, he had always been left-handed in his previous life, so he had all the advantages.
It’s so cheap, it’s hard to lose!
It's not that he deliberately played tricks, it's just that the laws of the Qin State were there. To deal with a reckless man like Dongmen Zong, since there was no way to beat him down, he could only use the simplest and most convenient way to outwit him.
So, he also put his left hand on the earth platform, and joined Dongmen Bao's left arm to form an X...
"Ji Ying, who among the two of them will win?" On the side, the short, round-faced pig was also asking Ji Ying, but found that Ji Ying was trying hard not to laugh, and coughed twice before saying:
"Of course Brother Heifu will win! Who is he? A warrior who can defeat three thieves and seize the sword with his bare hands!"
"But Dongmen Bao is also a well-known warrior in the county. It is said that during his last service, he carried a beam alone for three miles..." The two brothers, Ke and Bu, were even more fond of Dongmen Bao.
Be more confident.
They talked a lot there and wanted to place a bet, but they didn't dare because Qin State strictly prohibited gambling and violators were severely punished.
At this moment, the left hands of Heifu and Dongmen Bao started to hold together.
"I want to see if you, a warrior who catches thieves, are really capable!"
Dongmen Leopard pretended to be provocative, and at the same time used force with his hands, intending to give Hei Fu some color.
Unexpectedly, Hei Fu was not inferior, and his rough left palm suddenly exerted force and swung it in the opposite direction!
"No, this guy's left hand is really strong!"
Dongmen Leopard was shocked when he felt the power from his palm. He quickly continued to exert force, but not only failed to break Heifu, but his wrists and elbows were oppressed by the sudden huge force!
Then, there was only a "pop" sound! By the time Dongmen Bao reacted, his left hand had been knocked down by Heifu, and the back of his hand was hit hard on the earthen platform!
And Hei Fu, looking relaxed at the moment, looked at him with a smile...
