The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 116 Chapter 110

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu got up early, and they went outside the courtyard to take a breath of fresh air.

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, it's still early for dinner, let's go out for a run, the prairie is endless, the sky is blue and white clouds, it must be exciting to start running, today we will practice our footwork How is it?"

Tie Niu laughed out loud.

"Okay, today we brothers will compare to see how fast and far we can run."

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother, take our sword, we can also defend ourselves on the way, lest we suffer a disadvantage on this prairie."

"Okay, let's go, let's go into the house and get the sword."

Saying that, two people entered the room, Duan Wuji carried the sword behind his back, Tieniu put the sword on his waist, the two walked out of the room, Duan Wuji walked up to the four people on duty and said: "You have to take good care of yourself." Goods! Let's take a break and be back in a while."

The four listened and nodded.

"Master Duan, don't worry, everything is safe here, so you can go out with confidence."

The two walked to the gate and gestured to the doorkeeper.The servant guarding the gate knew that they were his master's distinguished guests, so he nodded in a very friendly manner, and then waved his hand to signal them to leave casually.

The two walked out of the yard and looked at the yurts everywhere, feeling an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

Tieniu looked at Duan Wuji and asked, "Brother, which direction do you think we live today?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Let's run to the north, let's see the scenery in the north of this small town."

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Well, let's run north."

After finishing speaking, the two of them ran slowly towards the north of the city. When they left the city, the two of them ran faster and faster. They saw the wind blowing under their feet, so they ran faster and faster.

The two ran out for more than 40 miles in one breath, and the two sat on a wasteland with few weeds to rest.

At this time, the sun has risen, and the grassland is quiet and peaceful. The fragrance of wild flowers in the weeds, mixed with the smell of green grass, makes people feel refreshed.

Duan Wuji looked at Tieniu and said: "Brother Tieniu, although we can't reach the point of stepping on the snow without a trace now, I think our running speed seems to be much faster than before.

You see, we ran such a long distance without feeling tired at all. Isn't this progress? "

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Well, bro, that's what you said. Now we run, and the time to pull the bellows is really less and less.

Ordinarily this is also progress!Brother, it's getting late now, let's go, let's run back now.I'm afraid it's not good to go back late. "

The two stood up, and then ran back.

The two of them had just run for five or six miles when suddenly five or six war horses came running from the northwest direction. Duan Wuji saw that there were several Turkic lads sitting on the horses. A machete hangs everywhere.

Seeing Duan Wuji and Tie Niu running on the grassland, the Turkic people on horseback beat their horses fast and waved to them with a smile.

Duan Wuji understood the meaning of these Turkic people, it turned out that they wanted to compare themselves with their horses to see who was faster.

Duan Wuji whispered to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, these guys are going to compete with us, let's hurry up and let them see who is faster."

After finishing speaking, the two of them suffocated their energy and rushed forward like a string of arrows. The Turk laughed when he saw it.

I don't know what they are yelling about.I saw these Turkic people desperately waving their horses and whipping their horses, and rushed straight in the direction where the two of them were running.

The two ran faster and faster in front, keeping a distance of more than ten feet from the horses. When the Turkic boys saw it, they said to themselves: "Okay, there are two things. Today we don't believe that our horses will not fall behind." you two.

The Turkic lads yelled loudly at each other, smack, smack...the whips hit the horse continuously, and the horse neighed after being beaten, and the horse flew into a gallop. These young Turkic men People only feel that their ears are whistling, but their horses still can't catch up with the two people in front.

This chase and run lasted tens of miles, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu were always running ahead of the horse.

When they ran to the edge of the settlement, the two stopped, and the horses behind caught up from behind.

A few young people jumped off their horses, looked at the two people and laughed, and then talked to the two people in Turkic.

The two remained silent because they could not understand what the Turkic man was saying. Seeing that they had remained silent, the young men immediately laughed and got on their horses and left.

Duan Wuji looked at Tie Niu, and said with a smile: "These bird people, what kind of bird language did they say just now? Damn we can't understand a word."

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"Whatever they like to say, we can't understand anyway, and we can't communicate with them. Let's go, let's go back to eat."

The two walked to the gate of Yelv Sidu's house. When the gate guard saw them, he waved his hands to them with a smile, and they walked into the big courtyard.

When Yelusi saw the two people coming in, he said to them with a smile: "You two, where are you going? Look, what time is it now? Hurry up and eat, we have already eaten gone."

After Duan Wuji and Tie Niu heard this, they walked into the room quickly, only to see the big pot of beef on the table was still hot.

The two of them were not polite when they saw each other, they stretched out their hands to grab a large piece of beef and opened their mouths to bite. Now the two of them are indeed hungry, and the two of them taste the meat very deliciously.

When Yelusi walked in, he couldn't help laughing when he saw the two of them eating.

"Both of you, your food is better than my sons'. How much meat can you eat this meal?"

After hearing this, Tieniu stuffed something into his mouth and muttered, "How much can we eat? Each meal can't exceed twenty catties of meat at most."

Yelusi rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said to himself: How much do you eat to be considered too much?Hey, feelings are two fools.

The time is not long, and the two of them are completely full.

Yelusi looked at the two of them and said, "Are you full? Drink some water when you're full, and then follow me to the big tent."

Tie Niu asked while drinking water: "Old man, where is the big deal? Let's go there now."

Yelusi shook his head with a smile.

"No hurry, no hurry, it's still early, I'm afraid the young people who participated in the meeting haven't arrived yet, we'll just wait there if we go early."

The three drank tea for a while, and Yelusi stood up.

"Two, follow me now, the time is almost up now, let's go a little earlier."

The two stood up, followed Yelusi out of the big courtyard, and the three walked eastward all the way.After walking less than half a mile, I saw a tall tent in front of me. This tent was taller and wider than ordinary tents.

Yelusi said with a smile: "This is the big account of our city. In general meetings, we make decisions in this big account. Come on, come in with me to have a look."

Both of them followed Yelusi into the big tent to have a look.

Ho!This big tent is spacious enough, at least one acre in size, and the two sides of the big tent are already filled with many young people.

Duan Wuji roughly counted, there are at least three or four hundred of these people.

These Turkic people were in a group of three, and several of them were whispering gossip.When everyone saw Yelusi walking in, they stopped talking immediately.

Yelusi led Duan Wuji and Tie Niu to the right seats, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu found a felt cushion and sat down next to Yelusi.

The big tent suddenly became silent.

Yelusi looked at everyone and said loudly in Turkic: "Tomorrow we will hold an alliance meeting with the Golden Horse City. Everyone knows that our city has always lost but never won compared with other people's Golden Horse City." !

For this reason, we have to pay the protection fee of countless cattle, sheep and horses in the Golden Horse City every year. Is there any good way for this alliance?Everyone has something to say, and we can discuss it carefully. "

Everyone heard you look at me, I look at you, the big tent fell into a deathly silence, and no one wanted to speak.

After a while, a tall and strong Turkic man stood up.

"Master Yelv Sidu, we Qingcaotan residents, our warriors here are not at the same level as the warriors in Jinma City. You can't win, you lose every time.

Still, a while ago I heard from my friends in Jinma City that at the beginning of this day, when their warriors were hunting and robbing a caravan near the border of the Sui Dynasty, they lost more than [-] people at once, which shows that they are not Even if they are invincible, they also suffer losses.

In this battle, I will definitely not be able to do it these two times. One is that I am a bit older, and the other is that I am not very proficient in martial arts. If I go up, I will be a bit embarrassing to the residents of Qingcaotan.

I don't plan to fight this time anyway, is there any brother willing to fight? "

After speaking, the big man sat down again.

Everyone looked at each other.

There was a deathly silence in the whole big tent.

Yelusi glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Everyone, let me introduce two friends to you. These two are friends from the Sui Kingdom who came to us for business. They came to us once after the Chinese New Year. Cloth and tea once exchanged some of our horses, which greatly enriched our material security.

This time, these two Han brothers caught up with the alliance, and they are willing to play a few games for our Qingcaotan settlement. What do you think? "

Everyone listened to each other for a while, and people discussed in low voices.

Finally, a young man stood up in the crowd.

"Lord Yelusdu, I think this method is feasible. This morning, a few of us rushed back from the grazing place. It happened that these two little brothers were running in the north of the city. We motioned for them to come with our horses. Run, guess what, after running for dozens of miles, our steed just couldn't catch up with the two of them.

Based on this running speed, I think they will make an alliance for us in Qingcaotan, and they will definitely not embarrass us Qingcaotan residents. "

After hearing this, everyone discussed again for a while.

The big Turkic man stood up and said loudly to Yelv Sidu: "Master Yelv Sidu, can these two Han people do it? Don't go out and embarrass us! Would you like me to try their martial arts? "

Everyone applauded immediately after hearing this.

"Okay, okay, let's compare the two of them outside this big tent, and let us see the kung fu of the little brother of the Han family."

After hearing this, Yelusi asked in a low voice: "Hey, the big man wants to compete with you, do you dare to fight?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "What is the competition? Tell us and let's hear it?"

After hearing this, Yelufa asked loudly in Turkic: "The little brother of the Han family just asked, Wo Kuotai, what are you going to compare with them?"

The big man laughed and said, "I'm strong, I want to draw a circle outside the big tent, I want to compare with them, who will beat the other in the circle, ask them if they dare to compare ?”

After hearing this, Yelusi quickly told the two people what the big man wanted.

Yelu Sidu whispered, "You two brothers of the Han family, do you know what the circle means?"

Both of them shook their heads.

"How do we know this? I would like to hear the old man's explanation."

Yelusi laughed and said, "You two little brothers, once you draw a circle, that circle is equivalent to a life-and-death ring for your Han family. Killing people in the circle is useless. Do you understand?"

Duan Wuji and Tieniu listened and nodded.

Tie Niu said with a smile: "Old man, tell him, just say that I am willing to accompany him twice, and I am willing to learn from him."

Yelusi told the big man what Niu Tie meant.The big man laughed out loud.

"Okay, then let's pay the bill and make gestures."

When Yelu Sidu saw it, he whispered: "This strong man named Wo Kuotai is a well-known warrior in our Qingcaotan. His martial power is firmly ranked among the top five on this Qingcaotan. There is no opponent in this green grass beach, you have to be careful."

Duan Wuji whispered to Tieniu: "Brother, this guy is strong and strong, you have to fight quickly in the competition later, you must not be polite to him, do you hear me clearly?"

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Brother, don't worry, I can't even deal with such a fool, how can I participate in the meeting tomorrow?

Brother, just take care of yourself. "

Everyone stood up and immediately formed a circle in front of the big tent, and someone immediately drew a large circle with a diameter of eight or nine feet on the ground with a harness.

The strong man named Wo Kuotai stepped in first.The big man stood in the circle and yelled at Tie Niu, but Tie Niu didn't know what he was yelling.

Tieniu smiled at Duan Wuji.Then he rushed into the circle suddenly.

Rushing to the circle, Tie Niu pierced the top with an oil hammer with his left fist, and pierced the heart with a black tiger with his right fist, and at the same time used a diamond leg under his feet.

As soon as the strong man saw Tie Niu coming up and using both fists, he knew that the Tie Niu had two punches in his hands. He tilted his head to avoid the left punch, and at the same time he avoided the right punch by measuring his body.But it didn't escape Tien Niu's vajra legs.

The leg was sweeping the strong man's ankle.Before the strong man understood what was going on, he screamed and fell to the ground.

Tieniu quickly ran out of the circle, and the strong man bared his teeth and couldn't get up for a long time.Finally, two boys went in and helped him up.

Everyone shook their heads when they saw it.

Xin said: How could this fight be so intense?Why can't he even pass a round in front of this Han kid?Isn't this too embarrassing?

When everyone returned to the big tent, Wo Kuotai endured the pain and said loudly: "Master Yelu, where did you find this day's ghost? This is too powerful, I didn't expect that I would fight in front of him once." I can't even walk through it, and now I am completely convinced.

It is a crime to disobey an expert! "

When everyone saw that the iron bull was so vigorous, there was no voice of opposition anymore.

Yelusi glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Everyone, who among you would like to participate in this alliance competition tomorrow?"

Yelusi yelled three times.

Only two people stood out from the crowd.Yelusi saw that one was his third son, and the other was a young man named Battelle.

The law department stood up angrily and announced loudly: "Okay, okay, there are ten matches in this league competition, and there are two people from my family who dare to end. This is too shameful. Okay. , let's adjourn the meeting today."
