When Cheng Chumo heard this, instead of being angry, he lowered his head in shame.
Qin Huaiyu on the side was stunned when he saw this.
Although he is older than Cheng Chumo, in terms of strength, Cheng Chumo is still above him.
But Cheng Chumo, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, couldn't even get past the guard Du He with three moves.
It's incredible.
Qin Huaiyu suddenly remembered what Qin Qiong said to him before leaving: Never provoke the big guard next to Du He!
Thinking about this, Qin Huaiyu hurriedly stepped forward, helped Cheng Chumo up, and said jokingly: "Okay, okay, we are all friends, why bother to fight as soon as we meet, business is more important."
Cheng Chumo threw Qin Huaiyu's arm away, pointed at Du He and shouted loudly: "Du He, if you have the ability, you can fight with me. I'll give you one hand. How can you be a hero with only one guard?"
Seeing this, Lu Bu was about to take action, but was stopped by Du He.
Du He rolled his eyes and actually nodded: "Okay, but instead of fighting, how about we compare who is stronger?"
Cheng Chumo was afraid that Du He would regret it, so he nodded hastily: "Okay, Du He, don't regret it. Tell me, what's the comparison?"
Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo were both stunned.
Who in Chang'an City doesn't know that Cheng Chumo is famous for his strength.
When this guy was 10 years old, in the emperor's hunting park, he lifted up a strong horse that was about to reach adulthood with both hands. It shocked many people at the time.
Du He actually wants to compete with Cheng Chumo in terms of strength. Isn't this asking for trouble?
Cheng Chumo had a proud sneer on his lips.
Du He looked around with a calm expression, then suddenly pointed at the tall stone lion on the right side of the gate and said, "Why don't we compare, who can lift this stone lion longer?"
"
Cheng Chumo laughed: "Du He, are you sure? The stone lion will crush you to death. Don't blame me!"
Du He smiled and said: "A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with!"
"Okay, feel free, I'll go first, Du He, don't regret it!"
Cheng Chumo rolled up his sleeves impatiently.
I saw him stepping forward, holding back the base of the stone lion with all his strength, and with a roar in his mouth, he lifted the tall stone lion up.
Looking at Cheng Chumo again, his face turned red from holding back.
This stone lion weighs at least four to five hundred kilograms.
Cheng Chumo's strength is truly astonishing.
After holding on for less than five seconds, Cheng Chumo finally let go and put the stone lion back on the ground.
"Whirring whirring……"
After leaning on the pillar next to him and panting for a long time, Cheng Chumo finally recovered.
He pointed at Du He: "Du He, it's your turn. If you can lift this stone lion today, let alone if it takes more than my time, even if you can lift it, I, Cheng Chumo, will recognize you as my eldest brother."
Du He stepped forward and looked at the stone lion, "This is what you said, don't regret it!"
Then, he turned to Lu Bu and said, "Go and call Zhang Du and the others!"
Lu Bu hurriedly walked into the Duke of Lai's palace.
Cheng Chumo looked at Du He in confusion and asked, "If you haven't taken action yet, what are you waiting for? If you don't dare, just admit defeat as soon as possible."
Du He patted the stone lion and said calmly: "What's the hurry? Just watch me lift the stone lion with one hand."
one hand?
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu both widened their eyes.
Is this guy's bragging so outrageous?
But inside the gate, Zhang Du came out with nine carpenters.
"Second Young Master, what are your orders?"
Du He turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone, please stop what you are doing and build a lever for me first."
lever?
Everyone looked confused.
Du He took out the pen, took out a piece of paper, and started drawing immediately.
In a short time, the sketch was completed.
Then, Du He explained to Zhang Du again.
After that, Zhang Du led everyone to start working.
As for Cheng Chumo, instead of being anxious, he became curious. He wanted to see what Du He could build and whether he could lift a stone lion.
It took less than an hour, and just when Cheng Chumo was losing his patience, a simple lever was built.
It is all made of wood, and the base is supported by four huge stones.
The most conspicuous thing is the extremely long wooden pole in the middle.
The base of the lever was placed next to the stone lion. The short end of the wooden pole was tied to the stone lion with the rope on it.
On the other side, there is a long wooden pole.
This strange combination, not to mention the people from the Lai Kingdom Palace, even the pedestrians passing by on the street, all gathered around curiously.
In a short time, hundreds of people gathered around and pointed.
"Isn't this the second young master of Mr. Du's family? What is he doing?"
"Have you seen that long wooden pole? I heard that Master Du Er used it to beat people..."
"Oh my god, with such a long wooden pole, if it hits someone, they will be beaten to death!"
"Yes, it's not like you haven't heard of the four evils of Chang'an!"
…
Hearing these comments, Du He almost fainted.
I worked hard to make a simple lever in the Tang Dynasty. What a high-tech thing, but it was actually used as a stick to beat people.
Cheng Chumo came over, looked at Du He curiously, and asked, "You don't want to lift the stone lion in this way, do you?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Hahaha..." Cheng Chumo stared at Du He as if he were a fool, "Du He, do you have a brain problem? With your small body, let alone lifting up the stone lion, this long wooden pole, I'm afraid you
I can’t even lift it up, it makes me laugh so hard!”
Du He did not refute, but stood on the wooden platform and grabbed the top of the wooden pole with one hand.
Then, pull it down gently.
This end of the wooden pole goes down, and the end with the stone lion tied to it goes up, rising little by little.
"Yo……"
Everyone suddenly let out a chorus of exclamations.
I saw the heavy stone lion slowly leaving the ground, and was soon hoisted up to half a person's height.
Cheng Chumo and others were so surprised that their mouths opened wide.
Really...a stone lion can be raised with just one hand?
How is this done?
Could it be that Du He can't do magic?
Especially the stubborn Cheng Chumo couldn't figure it out.
After holding on for a long while, Du He let go and put the stone lion down.
Then, he clasped his fists, looked around, and said loudly: "Thank you everyone for supporting me. Anyone who saw my high-tech performance just now, adults pay 1 penny, children are free, please pay!"
Wow.
The crowd, who had been watching enthusiastically just now, cheered and ran away without a single one left.
Du He walked down the wooden platform and came to Cheng Chumo. Cheng Chumo lowered his head, his face turned red, and he did not dare to look into Du He's eyes.
"Cheng Chumo, don't forget the bet we just made! Come on, call me brother."
Cheng Chu hesitated silently, and it took him a long time before two words popped out of his mouth: "Brother..."
