As the Shuofang Martial Arts Tournament approaches day by day, the atmosphere in the city becomes tense. The Shuofang Martial Arts Tournament is not just about simply selecting talents. It is also related to the allocation of resources among the major wealthy families, and is also related to the rankings among the wealthy families. The higher the ranking, the higher the ranking.
High means that the powerful family has stronger force and more people will rely on it. This involves the most fundamental vital interests of each wealthy family.
The Liang family has also started internal selection. The martial arts association implements a nine plus one model, with nine members of the family and one foreign aid. These days, dozens of outstanding members of the Liang family are fiercely competing for the nine spots.
Liang Wu was so busy that he couldn't take care of Guo Song for the time being, so he felt at ease.
At noon that day, Guo Song was eating noodles alone at Qingshui Noodle Shop in the west of the city. As a foreign aid to the Liang family, the Liang family certainly gave him good accommodation and food conditions, but Guo Song liked this Qingshui Noodle Shop very much.
The noodles with shaved noodles were very similar to the taste of later generations, which made him reluctant to leave. Even he himself wondered whether his inability to make up his mind to go to the capital had something to do with this noodle stall.
But this noodle shop is a food stall. It doesn’t have a countertop, and it can’t even afford to rent its own shop. It can only set up a few tables and a few benches on the street. The customers are mainly local coolies, and the noodles are sold cheaply.
, plain water noodles only cost five cents, and adding meat sauce costs ten cents, a total of fifteen cents, but Guo Song always ordered a double portion of fried meat sauce.
"Sir, would you like another boiled egg?"
The stall owners are a middle-aged couple. Guo Song has been eating here for half a month. They come here almost every day and give them fifty cents each time, which makes them both touched and embarrassed.
"I don't like boiled eggs, so why don't I have some fried eggs?"
"Okay! Master, wait a moment."
Guo Song took a sip of the noodle soup, then lowered his head and began to slurp.
At this time, a group of people on horseback rushed in from outside the city like lightning. There were many pedestrians in the city, so they also slowed down their horses.
There were about fifteen or sixteen knights in this group, all young men and women. They were all wearing bright clothes and wearing gorgeous decorations. Even their horses were in high spirits, showing off their majestic horses.
"A bunch of little bastards are just relying on their family's support, what's the air about them?" a young porter said with jealous eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense, the people in Babao are not something a little porter like you can afford to offend!" The female stall owner placed a bowl of noodle soup in front of him.
At this time, the eggs were fried, and the stall owner used a shovel to fork them into Guo Song's bowl. Guo Song was very happy when he saw the eggs were browned, and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you! Thank you!"
"Daozhang Guo!" Someone suddenly called him next to him.
Guo Song was startled. It was a little girl's voice. Was it calling her?
He looked up and looked around, but he couldn't see the little lady anywhere!
"Wherever you look, I'm here!"
Guo Song raised his head and saw a young lady among a group of men and women on horseback smiling and waving to him. She turned out to be Liang Ling'er.
Guo Song smiled, waved to her, and pointed to his face, indicating that he was having lunch.
"Ling'er, you have a lot of friends now! Do you even know people who eat at roadside stalls?" an older man next to him said with a sarcastic tone.
"Lin Feng, don't talk nonsense, Daozhang Guo is a foreign aid invited by our Liang family." Liang Ling'er said with a red face.
Hearing that they were foreign aid from the Liang family, the group of young men and women immediately went into an uproar. Two young men jumped off their horses and walked quickly to Guo Song, "Brother, why don't we practice swordsmanship!"
These children from wealthy families have been practicing martial arts since they were young, and they all show their domineering attitude. They wish they could compete with others every day.
Guo Song smiled lightly and said, "I'm just a low-class person eating at a roadside stall. Don't you think you've lost your identity by competing with me in swordsmanship?"
"Are you targeting me?" Lin Feng said with a long face.
A young woman next to him said coldly: "Brother Lin, this person never knows what is good or bad. Talking to him is indeed beneath your status."
Guo Song turned his eyes and realized that Duan Sanniang was also there. She was the one who was talking just now. She was as cold as ice and didn't even bother to look at him.
Guo Song suddenly became angry. How could this woman be so clueless? If he had known that he should not have returned her bow.
There was a faint anger in his heart, and he said coldly: "If you want to eat noodles, I can treat you. If you don't want to eat, then don't stand here and affect other people's business."
The implication is that you can get out.
More than a dozen young people burst into laughter. A handsome young man laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears. He pointed at Guo Song and said to Liang Ling'er: "Ling'er, can't you find anyone from the Liang family? It's unexpected.
Asking such a fool to be a foreign aid, he actually thinks that we will also eat noodles here?"
"Guo Sheng, you are going too far, I will ignore you!"
Liang Ling'er's eyes turned red, she turned the horse's head and galloped away.
"Okay! Okay! This is enough for everyone. It's made Ling'er angry."
The man named Lin Feng hugged Guo Song, "We don't mean any harm, please forgive me!"
He waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Everyone turned their horses and wanted to leave. Guo Song said coldly: "You just plan to leave like this?"
"Asshole! What else do you want to do?" The two young men glared at Guo Song.
"Don't you want to compete with me? I promise you, go to the small school field!"
Guo Song slowly pulled out the knife, "Life or death depends on heaven!"
"Let's compare, who is afraid of you!"
The two young men shouted vindictively.
After all, the man named Lin Feng was a little older, and he felt something was wrong. This was a foreign aid invited by the Liang family, and he must be capable. Don't end up killing someone just because of a joke.
He quickly said: "We were indeed joking just now, I apologize to my brother!"
"Someone just called me a fool. Should he also apologize to me?"
Guo Song stared at Guo Sheng sharply.
Guo Sheng's face suddenly turned ugly. In front of so many people, someone actually asked him to apologize. He snorted heavily, "Boy, this is Lingzhou City. Don't be too arrogant."
Guo Song took out a handful of money and put it on the table. He stepped forward with a knife. Suddenly, there was a flash of cold light and blood splashed everywhere. Guo Song actually decapitated Guo Sheng's war horse with one knife. The horse's head fell to the ground, and the headless horse fell with a thud.
On the ground, he knocked Guo Sheng over a foot away. Guo Song said coldly: "Next time whoever dares to fart randomly, I will cut off his neck with a knife!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away. Suddenly there was a scream in the street. More than a dozen young people were all dumbfounded. The two aggressive young people were even more frightened and frightened. They were so frightened that they were all cold. Duan Sanniang's face turned pale.
It was extremely ugly, and she felt that Guo Song was clearly threatening her.
........
At dusk, Guo Song sat on the roof, looking sadly at the sunset in the distance, gently stroking the feathers of the eagle eagle beside him. Although he had practiced martial arts that was unimaginable in his previous life, he still could not relieve the loneliness in his heart.
He has missed his wife and his daughter for ten years, and he has not stopped missing them for a day. How he hopes this is just a dream.
"Tweet-"
Mengzi called out softly, and Guo Song turned around and saw Liang Ling'er standing behind him, holding a small bucket in his hand.
She had already changed into a pomegranate pleated skirt, a light yellow half-sleeved jacket, her hair was in a moon-shaped bun, her face was white and rosy, and she was looking at herself nervously.
"Ling'er, why are you here?"
Guo Song quickly turned his head to wipe the tears from his eyes, then turned back and said with a smile: "You shouldn't come up here, it's very dangerous here."
"I came up through the little window over there."
Liang Ling'er pointed to the skylight not far away and said anxiously: "I'm feeding little brother Xiaoying. I didn't know that big brother Guo was here."
Only then did Guo Song realize that her small bucket was full of fresh fish, and asked in shock: "Do you come to feed it every day?"
Liang Ling'er nodded, and Guo Song was angry and funny, and lightly knocked Mengzi on the head, "You lazy guy, I thought you went to find food by yourself?"
Mengzi pecked Guo Song back in annoyance, flapped his wings and flew away.
"Ah! It's angry."
"It wasn't angry. It pecked me and was afraid that I would clean it up, so it ran away first."
Sure enough, Mengzi did not fly away, but stopped on the Bell and Drum Tower opposite, looking at Guo Song with a proud face.
"Brother Guo, I'm sorry today at noon!" Liang Ling'er timidly apologized to Guo Song.
"You don't have to apologize, I'm not angry with you!"
Guo Song pointed to the side and said with a smile: "Sit down!"
Liang Ling'er walked to sit next to Guo Song and looked at Guo Song with admiration, "Brother Guo, you were so domineering today. The whole Lingzhou City was shaken."
"You're all scolding me!"
"No way! Everyone is praising you. You said you taught those domineering and wealthy children a lesson. It's so frustrating. Everyone is asking who you are?"
Speaking of this, Liang Ling'er blushed, and she herself was one of them.
Guo Song shook his head, "I've caused trouble for your father."
"No! In fact, several families are fighting overtly and covertly, especially the Guo family who has been bullying us. If you suppress the Guo family's momentum, my father will definitely drink a few more drinks."
Guo Song smiled lightly and said: "Don't feed Mengzi anymore. He will gradually lose his vigilance towards people. I'm worried that he will be captured."
Liang Ling'er nodded repeatedly, "I understand, and I promise not to feed it again in the future."
"Let's go! It's time for us to go down."
Liang Ling'er stood up obediently and followed Guo Song downstairs from the window.
