Dream is still Chu Liuxiang

Before arriving at the venue of the "Panlong Meeting", the lively atmosphere of the surrounding crowd has made me fully feel the expectation and enthusiasm of this nation for this grand meeting.If it weren't for the guards from the military and horse envoy's mansion to clear the way, I think it would be difficult for us three sedan chairs to reach the venue.

As soon as we got off the sedan chair, Nage led us straight to the meeting entrance. At this time, Xu Huixin and I had already put on the luxurious Jurchen costumes that Nage specially bought for us. The voices were endless, and some even pointed at Xu Huixin for a while.

Xu Huixin whispered nervously: "Why are they pointing at us and talking at the same time?"

Na Gege said with a "haha" smile: "In our Antu City, it's really rare to see beautiful and lovely Han women on Xiang Xin'er's side, not to mention our second brother is also handsome and handsome. It should be true that you are impressed by the demeanor of the two of you."

Xu Huixin blushed and said: "Brother Nahe will find happiness..."

Nage was about to answer, when three people walked up to us, all wearing Jurchen official uniforms, speaking in Jurchen in unison, and turned around to glance at us behind us.One of the thin old men said a few more words, and Nagge responded with a smile, and the three of them looked me up and down more carefully.Nage pointed to the three of them and introduced them to me one by one. I clasped my fists and made proper entertainment.

After the clock rang, the three hurriedly took their leave.Nage led us straight into the venue, and said: "When the third bell rings, it means that Lord Baylor, the eldest Beizi and the second Beizi have arrived at the venue. After the ceremony, we can immediately draw lots. We I just hope that you and that Li Zhijie don't meet too early..."

We sat down slowly when we came to the seats specially reserved for officials of various ranks, and only then did I have time to take a more detailed look at the entire venue.

The entire "Panlong Club" venue is located in the square outside the palace city. It occupies a large area and has a wide view. It is indeed a good place to arrange the hall.In the middle is an eight-sided rectangular arena, which, according to Nage's explanation to me, means "exquisite eight-sided" and "four-in-one-eight-open".The various tribes in Manchuria are not satisfied with the status quo, and it should have begun to show signs at this time.

Several higher stands were added around the periphery of the venue, which should have been specially added for the convenience of the surrounding masses to watch.The venue was surrounded by Jurchen soldiers. In addition to our usual knives, guns, bows, and crossbows, several dark spots were added to prevent emergencies.From the inside, it is the place where various Jurchen officials and contestants sit. It is shaped like a giant circle, and a small platform is built at the head end. Judging from the luxury of the layout, it should be The place where Jurchen Baylor and her children sit.

Nage had been giving me frequent introductions along the way, but after hearing the third ringing of the bell, he hurriedly pulled me and said, "Get up and salute, Lord Baylor and the others are here!"

Xu Huixin and I, along with various officials and contestants, stood up and saluted, but saw a hale and hearty old man in his sixties, with a silver mouth and long beard walking out slowly. Behind him was a clean-looking, tall man. Quite tall, a middle-aged man in his forties.You can guess without thinking too much, this person should be the eldest son Abhandan.But what followed behind him was a mighty general with a beard and a strong body, but the second son, Abuhangele, did not see him.

I whispered: "Who is that general?"

Nage said in a deep voice: "This person is Li Manju, the Jurchen commander in Jianzhou. It's just that he should be fighting against the Ming army with Dong Shan, the son of Meng Ge Timur, how could he have time to come back to participate in this?" Panlong will'?"

At this time, a civil servant came to the stage to read the document, and relayed the rumors of Lord Baylor.Of course, I couldn't understand a word of Jurchen's words.Fortunately, Nage gave a brief explanation, and I got a general idea of ​​the situation.It is said that the Jurchen army was in a state of invincibility in the battle at the frontier pass, and at this time they had already prepared their troops and were ready to return to Yahu Pass.And Li Manzhu took this free time to come back, one is to personally announce the good news to Lord Baylor, and the other is to see with his own eyes how his son is doing at the "Panlong Club".

After a period of inauguration ceremony, Lord Belle began to draw people into groups one by one from the big bamboo stick with the name upside down.I saw that Nage was praying silently at this time, probably praying to God not to let me meet Li Zhijie early in the morning.Although I was secretly amused in my heart, I actually thought more about Li Zhijie.

Not long after, the result of the lottery was announced.I was assigned to the third round, and I was competing with a Jurchen man named Huo Yuer.And that Li Zhijie was assigned to the ninth match. Judging from the duel table arranged by the "Panlong Club", if I really want to fight against that Li Zhijie, unless we can keep defeating the opponent until the day after tomorrow night. finals.

Na Ge was so happy that he almost jumped up, held my arm, and said happily, "It's done now. Even if you can't win the meeting, second brother, you will definitely be able to get the second position." He glanced at me, then smiled and said: "Of course, second brother, if you can win the title of leader in one fell swoop, that would be a great thing."

I smiled, and said without approval: "Little brother should do his best."

"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of drums roared, shaking my ears.Xu Huixin couldn't help frowning slightly, and muttered, "Does it need to be so loud? I'm afraid even the deaf will hear it."

I chuckled lightly and said, "Do you need big brother to help you find a piece of cloth to block it?"

Xu Huixin glared at me, turned her head away with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and hummed softly from her beautiful nose.

After the drumbeat died down, the civil servant came up to the stage again to say something, then retreated sideways.

Nage said in a low voice: "The first competition has begun. Second brother, pay more attention, maybe you can find a more effective way to win!"

I nodded lightly, and along with the crowd, focused my gaze on the ring in the middle.

With the sound of "Ding Dong", the two Jurchen men were about to take the stage from the left and right sides. After a salute to each other, they put on a posture and began to fight.

After I took a closer look, I felt that these two people's martial arts were mediocre, but they were better because they had a relatively solid foundation in horse training.It is more appropriate to say that the fights between each other are contests, rather than wrestling.Pulling and pushing back and forth, one of the darker-skinned men was finally pulled and thrown by the other, and he couldn't get up for a long time.Ever since, the adjudicator came to power and ruled that this person won.The record official at the far end sideways removes the loser's name tag and puts up the winner's name tag to signify that the person has entered the second round.

Na Ge said softly: "After watching the first competition, the second brother, what inspiration can you get?"

I smiled and said: "The way of martial arts is to observe his appearance and actions, and use skill to control the enemy. Fighting naked like this is nothing but the courage of a common man!"

Nage laughed and said, "It seems that Da Beizi and I are right about you, second brother!"

At this time, the second match began again, almost like a replica of the previous match, and it was another performance by a pair of "wrestling" masters.I casually glanced at other places, and suddenly felt a pair of provocative eyes staring at us.When I was looking for inspiration, that gaze disappeared again.

Xu Huixin noticed it and said, "Brother, what are you looking at?"

I bowed my head and said: "It's nothing, maybe it's my illusion..."

A burst of applause interrupted Xu Huixin's continued questioning. It turned out that the second match had already been won or lost.

Nage pulled me and said, "Let's go! Come with me, it's your turn to play."

Xu Huixin pulled my hand and said with concern: "Brother, be careful..."

I nodded and went out with Nag.After passing through a special passage guarded by soldiers, the competition ring in the center appeared more clearly in front of my eyes.

Na Ge said softly: "Second brother, I can only send you here. In short, you should be careful. Big brother wishes you a successful start here, and we brothers will have another drink tonight."

I smiled and said, "I can't drink with you tonight, otherwise how will I deal with tomorrow's competition?"

Nage slapped his head and said with a smile: "That's right! It seems that the most nervous person must be me. Hahahaha..."

The sound of "Ding Dong" was already heard, and after I clenched my fists at Na Gewei, I turned around and stepped out of the passageway, finally stepping onto the arena of the "Panlong Club".

As soon as I got on the stage, I heard discussions all around, probably talking about my non-Jurchen status in the competition.Correspondingly, when the Jurchen man named Huo Yuer strode onto the stage, everyone gave thunderous applause.

I secretly decided in my heart that this time I was not only fighting for myself and my friends, but also to let the Han people who stayed in the Jurchen tribe feel proud, so that they would no longer have to shrink in front of others.

Huo Yu'er looked up at me and said, "I heard that you are a Han Chinese, right?"

I smiled and said: "If you ask me this sentence in Jurchen language instead, you will know whether I am a Han or not."

Huo Yu'er swayed his rather obese body, and said: "If you step back from the stage now, maybe you can still keep this glib mouth to beg for food, or I will definitely not be able to bear it later. it!"

I smiled and said, "Then I will give you this opportunity to realize your wish."

Huo Yuer's face turned angry, and he pulled out a pair of mountain axes from his waist, and roared: "Show your weapons quickly, I don't want to get the reputation of being invincible."

I spread my hands and said, "I forgot to bring it!"

Huo Yu'er said angrily: "Aren't there so many weapons on the weapon rack next to the ring? Could it be that none of them are suitable for you?"

I pretended to turn around to look, and suddenly saw a guard holding a bow and crossbow guarding one side. My heart moved, I walked forward, and said to a guard, "May I lend you a feather arrow?" I was afraid. He didn't understand what I meant, so he made a special gesture to the feather arrow in his hand.

The guard was taken aback for a moment, then looked at me in bewilderment, and turned to look straight at the judge next to me.But when the judge nodded lightly and said something in Jurchen's words, the guard handed the feather arrow in my hand and said: "Take it!" Then he said in a low voice: "You shouldn't Are you planning to use this thing to compete in the arena?"

I didn't answer him with a slight smile, and went straight to the ring with the feathered arrow.

Huo Yu'er stared at everything, and reprimanded: "What kind of tricks are you Han playing?"

I bent the feather arrow a few times in my hand, and after testing its toughness, I was very satisfied, then I held the feather arrow upside down and said, "Didn't you ask me to find a hand-held weapon to compete with you? Why don't you make a move? "

Seeing this, Huo Yu'er was very angry, and shouted: "I will send you to see your parents today, you dog who doesn't know how to live or die!" Then he raised his ax and rushed towards me.

I smiled and said: "You don't need to trouble your lord, my parents are still alive, and they are living happily in the metropolis of Chongqing. I will go back when I miss them." While talking and laughing, Huo Yu'er's ferocious double chopping axes have been easily dispelled by me.

Huo Yu'er hit the air with one move, shouted loudly, reversed his fat waist, and slashed diagonally with his backhand.I turned my left hand slightly to one side, and slapped hard on the axe, and the axe made a straight arc and slashed at Huo Yu'er's own feet.He was dead, and the other mountain-breaking ax turned around and rushed forward. With a "clang", sparks splashed, and the two mountain-breaking axes collided intimately.Huo Yu'er suddenly felt a huge pain in his palms, how could he hold the ax steadily? Under the sound of "clang", he almost smashed his foot.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the arena, probably because Huo Yu'er did not expect Huo Yu'er to drop the ax so quickly.

I patted the feather tail on the palm of my hand, and said with a smile: "Pick it up quickly? Otherwise, what will you use to smash my glib mouth?"

After Huo Yu'er's whole fat face twitched for a while, he bent forward to pick up the double axes.Suddenly he rolled on the ground and jumped in front of me. He swept across with the ax in his left hand, and cut my abdomen with the ax in his right hand from bottom to top.

There was another exclamation outside the arena, I really thought that Huo Yuer's move was really a surprise attack, I was defenseless, it would be difficult to dodge it, I was afraid that I would either die or be injured by his axe.

I secretly scolded this person for being shameless and vicious, and I must teach him a lesson.In just a few moments, the whole person had already sprinted behind him, I patted his shoulder lightly with my hand, and when he turned half of his face away, the arrow tail feather had already bounced off his fat face.

With a crisp "snap", Huo Yu'er took five steps back while covering his chubby face, and shouted: "Damn it, I will fight with you!" I aroused the anger in my heart, and the two mountain-opening axes were powerful and frightening.It's a pity that in my eyes, it's like a child playing, without any rules.

I didn't even need to use "Swift Light" to move freely through his throwing axe, and from time to time, I could shoot a curved arrow on his fat face. After a while, Huo Yu'er's already fat face was gone. He is more than ten times fatter than before.To use our modern buzzwords, it means k you k until you become a pig's head.

The sound of laughter outside the court at this time has overwhelmed the words of exclamation.Just when Huo Yuer was about to rush forward again, the judge probably couldn't sit still any longer. With a wave of his hands, eight soldiers rushed up immediately, and dragged Huo Yuer who was almost out of control down.

The adjudicator finally came to the stage and announced that I was the winner and entered the next round of competition.Immediately there was thunderous applause outside the arena, and I finally saw the Jurchens' ethnic style of emphasizing heroes and recognizing heroes.

I first clasped my fists to Baylor who was on the viewing platform to express my thanks, but I saw that both Lord Baylor and the eldest Beizi left their seats and applauded, smiling.Only that Li Manzhu kept his expression on his face, with his hands on his back, a pair of tiger eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's minds, and looked straight at me up and down carefully.At this time, I felt those provocative eyes again, and I hurriedly looked sideways, only to see a sturdy Jurchen man in the stand on the right staring at me, and this feeling came from him.

When he saw that I saw him, he gave me a sinister smile, then stretched out his right hand, crossed his neck, made a cutting gesture, and then disappeared.

I smiled indifferently, and after thanking the people around me, I walked off the stage slowly.He thought to himself: "Seeing that this person looks a bit like that Li Manzhu, could it be his eldest son Li Zhijie who participated in the competition?"

While pondering, I have returned to the viewing platform.From afar, I heard Nage laughing and saying: "Congratulations, second brother, you have won such a beautiful first game."

I responded with a smile, sat down and said, "Brother, do you know Li Zhijie?"

Nage was surprised and said: "Naturally I know him! What? You just met him when you came back? What did he do to you? Did he say anything?"

I smiled and said, "It's nothing, brother, don't be so nervous. I just saw a young man who looks like Li Manzhu Dutong just now, and I just asked out of curiosity."

Nage clapped his hands and said: "That's him. The person you saw just now is Li Zhijie. It seems that he has already started to pay attention to you. Coupled with your second brother's performance in today's competition, they will probably regard you as a The number one opponent of the 'Panlong Club' this time."
