Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 182 Interesting Temple Fair Competition

Liu Bian was surprised to see Cao Ang playing traps with a high hit rate: out of twenty traps, Cao Ang was able to hit twelve. It seems that Cao Ang sneaked into Youzhou with the army in the past and participated in the battle to relieve the siege of Guanzicheng. No white ginseng?

... To put it lightly, Cao Ang got a series of toys such as wooden drama figures, small wooden carts, small wooden knives, small wooden spears, bamboo dragons, diabolos, revolving lanterns, sugar blowers, sugar painters, sugar plastic figures, nine chains and rattles.

Then, Cao Ang also stared at the other toys that he didn't get, with a look on his face that he was still unsatisfied.

All of a sudden, Cao Ang gained everyone's attention.

The hawker had a sad face.

I heard many children exclaim "wow", and looked at Cao Ang with admiration.
"That little brother is so awesome! He actually collected twelve toys! I want it too, but..."

"How about we go find little brother for help?"

"sure?"

"Give it a try?"

The children were chattering and actually discussed asking Cao Ang to set toys!

This time, the vendors were frightened.

The hawkers all reminded at the same time: "No! No! Let others represent the circle, it doesn't matter!" —— Didn't you see that the hawkers over there almost lost all their money, and they were about to cry?

Raising his eyebrows, Liu Bian was not surprised that Cao Ang could collect so many toys in one go.Liu Bian was surprised: He originally thought that Nanpi County was mostly populated by young and strong men, but he did not expect that Nanpi County also had many children.

Although the number of children is not large, it is enough to satisfy Liu Bian - I hope there will be newborns in Nanpi County next year?It will get better eventually...

"Damn it!" came an unfamiliar voice.

It was Yuan Xi.

Looking sideways for a moment, Liu Bian took a step back and calmly retreated into the crowd, looking for fame. He saw Yuan Xi gritting his teeth and glaring at Cao Ang's figure... but Cao Ang still didn't know it!

"Brother, we can't lose to that kid Cao Ang!" Yuan Xi clenched his hands into fists.

"Then what do you want...?" Yuan Tan is slightly older and not as motivated as Yuan Xi.

"Do you still need to ask?" Yuan Xi stepped forward and walked towards Cao Ang heavily, "Let's compete with that boy Cao Ang. No matter what, we have to collect twenty toys!"

Yuan Xi rushed forward and shouted at Cao Ang, shouting: "Hey! Cao boy, do you dare to compete with me? I can also set traps! Whoever sets more traps will get all the other's toys. Give it to the other party!"

The provocation was so arrogant that Cao Ang politely refused——

Cao Ang said: I really don't want to be familiar with children!
This made Yuan Xi angry.

Yuan Xi grabbed Cao Ang's collar and said impulsively: "If you don't compete, I won't let you go!"

"Hey, Master Yuan, don't let me go yet!" Cao Ang said coldly.

... Chick Chick Chick, Yuan Xi and Cao Ang started to argue.

The main reason is that Yuan Xi unilaterally regards Cao Ang as his opponent!

——It’s so energetic!

Liu Bian watched the interaction between Cao Ang and Yuan Xi happily for a while, then looked away and walked away.

Parents of both parties are around. No matter how out of tune Yuan Xi is, it doesn't matter.
Look at the corner over there. There is a group of military generals deliberately pretending to be civilians. They glance towards Cao Ang from time to time... Don't think that Liu Bian can't recognize those guys. They are the generals of the Cao family - Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun. , Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Hong and Cao Xiu, there are so many of them!
Liu Bian continued to move forward.

In front, there was a suspected blockage. There were many people around, as if they were watching something, applauding, clapping their hands, and giving out bursts of cheers.Liu Bian caught a glimpse of a familiar face. His name seemed to be Niu Zhuang?
Just listen to the other party exaggerating: "It's amazing! If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it!"

After hearing this, Liu Bian squeezed over curiously.

Then I saw three or four middle-aged artists standing in a huge open space, performing magic——

It was called "Illusion" in ancient times!
Commonly known as "juggling"!
It is said to be false but not true, false but seems to be true.

Sure enough, middle-aged artists can spit fire from their mouths, make it rain with their hands, cover a black ceramic bottle with a square towel, and then remove the square cloth, and the black ceramic bottle turns into a white ceramic bottle...

It's really magical.

What's more, two middle-aged artists also performed a head-cutting technique: one stood calmly, and the other slashed the other's neck with a knife. Suddenly, the headless artist scared everyone and screamed. Seeing blood pouring out, the artist wielding the knife reattached the head that had fallen to the ground to the man's body, and the man was alive again!
"Papapa—" Surprised, everyone applauded without hesitation and applauded.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Liu Bian refused to admit that he was also frightened just now... This kind of trick is similar to "head-moving magic".
After calming down, Liu Bian took the initiative to stay away from this group of middle-aged artists and accidentally stepped into the real temple fair.

Seeing the opening of the temple fair, people from Nanpi County came from all directions to worship, worship the gods, offer incense, and pray for their return home. This made Liu Bian dumbfounded... When he went to the countryside to do as the Romans did, Liu Bian also participated, imitating others in "worshiping the ancestors" and "shaan". "Baby" - this is "praying for a child", which has a hint of witchcraft, which is particularly unscientific in Liu Bian's eyes.

However, it’s still the same old topic: just get used to it.

He didn't want to stay at the temple fair for a long time.

After all, most of the people who enter the temple fair are women.

What a coincidence: Liu Bian couldn't imagine the scene where men would rush to squeeze into the temple fair...

The best examples are Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The three of them put on new clothes and walked to the temple fair, but they turned around without hesitation and ran to other places!
Cheering up, Liu Bian and the five guards headed to their next destination: an alley snack shop!

As the saying goes: Commercial Street.

When he came to the commercial street, Liu Bian saw with satisfaction that it was even more crowded.

Because there are so many delicious foods!

Liu Bian walked around casually, and in his hand... Oh~ No!In the hands of He Xian and other guards, there were countless bags filled with snacks, such as the often eaten "Guizhi Dumplings", "Sweet Date Rice Porridge", "Meat Soup Cake", "Jujube Wine" ”, “rice wine” and “bean cake”.

He was also lucky enough to eat "pork stuffed dumplings" and "pork floss rice dumplings" - not to mention the former, the latter...

Zongzi?
Is there anyone selling rice dumplings at this time of year?
Liu Bian was surprised for a moment, then regained his composure: Who stipulated that zongzi must be eaten on the Dragon Boat Festival?
It’s okay to eat it as usual!

Especially since there is a temple fair tonight and all kinds of special food will be on the table. Is this normal?

Thinking of this, Liu Bian bit down a mouthful of the rice dumpling with an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ratio ratio ratio ratio ratio ratio ratio ratio ratio" ratio of rice dumpling, and almost choked on it.

Fortunately, He Shui had quick eyes and quick hands and quickly poured a bowl of rice wine to quench Liu Bian's thirst, which relieved Liu Bian's choking.

It's so embarrassing.

Liu Bian tasted the delicacies and ate until he was full, while strolling around Nanpi County. The more he wandered, the happier he became.He feels that Nanpi County is vibrant and full of vitality, and is much better than when he first came here... Is he being too conceited when he boasts so much?

Blushing, he took his guards and all kinds of food to look around.

But I have never noticed that I have become the scenery in the eyes of others——

Jushou and Tian Feng were sitting in a pavilion, drinking warm wine comfortably, and happened to catch a glimpse of Liu Bian almost choking while eating rice dumplings... His Highness was really having fun.

Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs and drums.

It's a group of dancers who are playing and singing while parading, attracting crowds to watch, it's very beautiful.

Involuntarily, Liu Bian followed the dancers and walked slowly.

As a result, he went around and around and went back to Cao Cao and others.

Huh?
Haven't Cao Cao and others had enough shopping?
Fortunately, the game between Cao Ang and Yuan Xi is over.

"Your Majesty... Young Master?"

Zhao Yun's shout rang in his ears.

Zhao Yun?

He was startled for a moment, looked up, and saw Zhao Yun waving to him.

Zhao Yun was accompanying Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan was also dressed in regular clothes, but he was surrounded by servants in a high-profile manner... It turned out that Gongsun Zan was watching the clan members Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan throwing away their javelin holster toys.Like Cao Ang, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan also fought with great success and obtained so many toys that the hawker covered his face in discomfort.

However, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan were very interested and wanted to decide the winner and refused to stop.

And because Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan were well-connected, the hawker didn't dare to act rashly.

With gleaming eyes, Liu Bian nodded towards Zhao Yun but did not step forward.

After some sketches in the air, Liu Bian was happy that Zhao Yun had taken a break from bathing, and persuaded Gongsun Zan to come to Nanpi County to see the excitement. He also invited Zhao Yun to come back to the Bohai Prince's residence later to have a chat.

And Zhao Yun also agreed.

Reluctantly, Liu Bian was about to leave when he heard someone calling him, shouting: "Is it your highness?"

Liu Bian looked again and saw Zhuge Gui and Zhuge Xuan's family.

The speaker was actually Zhuge Liang!
At that time, Zhuge Liang was also playing in a circle.

It's a pity that Zhuge Liang's skills are so poor that he didn't wear a toy for a long time.

With bright eyes, Liu Bian walked over and said with a smile, "Is it you? - Are you playing this too? Is it fun?"

"It's fun." Zhuge Liang glanced at the three hoops in his hand, then looked at Liu Bian, "Your Highness, do you want to play?"

"Okay?" Liu Bian didn't refuse, and immediately took off the trap, ready to try it again, "Should we also compete? Let's see who has more traps? - Let's try again later!"

Liu Bian said casually.

Zhuge Liang actually agreed and said: "Okay!"

Then, Liu Bian's three traps also fell into the sea, unable to make any waves.

"Haha——" A child nearby saw him and laughed out loud.

Zhuge Liang and his family knew Liu Bian's identity, but they did not dare to laugh wantonly.

Liu Bian laughed dryly, shrugged and said, "There are specialties in the art industry, but I'm not very good at it... I focus on experience."

"Whatever you want." Zhuge Liang suppressed a smile and said to Zhuge Gui, "Father~"

Zhuge Liang rarely acts coquettishly.

Zhuge Gui glanced at Liu Bian and said to Zhuge Liang: "Liang'er, don't lose your mind by playing with things. This trap is just for fun, don't indulge in it! Whatever you like, my father will buy it for you!"

"Ah?" Zhuge Liang opened his mouth wide, as if he had been poured cold water on him, so disappointed.

Zhuge Jin felt sorry for his younger brother and couldn't help but said: "Father, it's just for today, okay?
At worst, I'll pay for my brother! "

The latter sentence is the key.

Zhuge Jin paid the money decisively and asked Zhuge Liang to take [-] rings again.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bian waved his hand, and He Bai paid, and also brought twenty hoops to Liu Bian.

Liu Bian and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, with a spark of fighting spirit bursting out of their eyes.

"Competition?" Liu Bian and Zhuge Liang said in unison, "I will not lose to you!"

Then, Liu Bian and Zhuge Liang really competed: First, Liu Bian threw twenty hoops one by one, trying to catch the toy, but the hoops in his hands seemed to have springs, even if Liu Bian tried harder. It's small, but it can also bounce in place, and it can't hit the toy!

Twenty times later, Liu Bian came across several toys, but he didn't catch any of them!
Liu Bian was so disappointed: Ah!Oops!Looks like I'm going to lose?but……

With a hint of luck, Liu Bian saw Zhuge Liang in high spirits and said: "Look at me!"

After that, Zhuge Liang also used twenty loops to get toys.

However, Zhuge Liang's throwing level is about the same as Liu Bian's!

Zhuge Liang struggled for a long time, but he couldn't even put one on!
This? !

Afterwards, Zhuge Liang pursed his lips and was speechless.

Liu Bian then smiled and said, "Why are you frustrated? Do you want to try again?"

"Still trying?" Zhuge Liang opened his eyes wide, and the frustration that was supposed to be there was swept away by Liu Bian's suggestion.

"How?" Liu Bian asked.

Zhuge Liang looked at his brother pitifully.

Zhuge Jin reached out and stroked his brother's head, and said cheerfully: "Try again."

After that, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bian competed again, but there was still no winner!

——It's so embarrassing!
The two who were both losers won the laughter of the audience around them.

Although Liu Bian didn't take it to heart at all.

Persevering, Liu argued: "Would you like to try again? - The third round?"

Zhuge Liang quickly responded: "Okay! Try it a third time!"

Zhuge Jin sighed and paid obediently——

"Your Highness?!"

Suddenly, Liu Bian heard Cao Ang's cry.

Liu Bian looked up and saw that not only Cao Ang was coming, but also Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan came in two groups one after another.

Naturally, behind the three parties are the parents of the three parties!

Liu Bian: "..."

Come on, come in complete order, huh?
Quickly scanning Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and the relevant female relatives, Liu Bian nodded and said: "Everyone, what a coincidence? Are you here too? - Just call me Young Master. !”

I didn’t want to scare others... Didn’t you see that the passers-by around me looked at me with strange expressions?

Even if the other party knows that I am His Highness, I...I will still pretend that I am not!

Now, I am the son of an aristocratic family!
Seemingly understanding Liu Bian's thoughts, Cao Cao and others bowed their hands to Liu Bian as a salute and said in tacit agreement: "Young Master!"

"Master, do you want me to help you?" Cao Ang actively recommended himself, "There are skills in setting toys..."

Yuan Xi saw that Cao Ang was very displeased, and shouted: "Young Master, what kind of person, how can you end in person? - If you have the ability, you replace Young Master, end in person, and then compete with me? I will represent this little guy!"

Pointing his hand, Yuan Xi pointed at Zhuge Liang.

Cao Ang frowned and said, "Are you still competing? You're not afraid of Brother Liang being sad."

Zhuge Liang didn't know why.

But Zhuge Jin understood: In terms of trapping, who dares to fall in love with Yuan Xi is not as good as Cao Ang?

How can this work?Not to mention what kind of replacement is not necessary. If we really want to replace him, why do we need outsiders?exactly...

Maintaining a smile, Zhuge Jin said to Yuan Xi: "Thank you for your kindness! However, as the child's elder brother, I can also take the place of the child and compete in trapping? - Can you add me?"

"You?" Yuan Xi looked at the ordinary Zhuge Jin up and down, and said not too politely, "——Whatever you want, as long as you don't regret it!"

Zhuge Jin smiled slightly, took the initiative to replace Zhuge Liang, and started playing hoop throwing, easily beating the scores of all the teenagers present, and Liu Bian slapped his hands:

Ha ha ha ha!So funny!The temple game tonight was so much fun!
