Chapter 204 Martial arts contend for supremacy
Cai Mansion Lotus Pond...

Why is it a lotus pond?As soon as the incomplete Ai Lian song from Dong Pi came out, famous people in Luoyang rushed to raise lotus to show their noble character, like a lotus flower that emerges from the mud and is not stained.Even the old man Cai was not exempt.

The old man is sitting in the water pavilion on the lotus pond at the moment, drinking a glass of wine, looking at the lotus in the pond, feeling very happy.

Dong Bi sat beside him respectfully, not daring to disturb the old man's pleasure.Now everyone in Luoyang knows that the older Mr. Cai is, the hotter his temper becomes. Don't bother him, or you will suffer the wrath of Mr. Cai.

However, Dong Bi was very strange, why did the old man call him here?

He didn't speak when he called, but just drank and admired the lotus.Could it be that he is bored and can't catch him for a walk?
But he didn't dare to ask, so he just sat quietly.The old man is getting older and he doesn't know anything. Don't you know that I am very busy now?

Just when Dong Bi was a little impatient, the housekeeper Cai An came to report: Lu Gong and Liu Hong are here!
"Ah, please hurry up!"

Only then did Mr. Cai stand up with a smile on his face, and he glanced at Dong Pi with satisfaction, "Xiping, it seems that you have been working hard in the past two years, and your energy-raising skills are getting deeper and deeper. I thought you couldn't hold back the time for a stick of incense. , Hehe, not bad, not bad!"

This old man actually still thinks about school?

Dong Bi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly said a few words modestly, while Lu Zhi and Liu Hong also walked up to the water pavilion at this time.

Two years later, Lu Zhi looked much more energetic than when Dong Pi first entered Beijing.

Her hair is all gray, but her complexion is rosy and energetic, with a tendency to look like a child with white hair, and she is always strong.

And Liu Hong is still chubby, with a smile on his round face, showing a feeling of being kind to others all the time.In fact, this old gentleman is also like this. Now that he is an official worship doctor of the Taishi Department and concurrently serves as the captain of Nangong, he can be said to be proud of himself.

Emperor Han felt that trusting anyone is worse than trusting one's own family.

In the past two years, the emperor's relatives and relatives have been entrusted to guard the Quartet.Because Liu Hong is proficient in astrology, he stayed in Luoyang, specializing in the theory of prophecy, and he can be regarded as a magic stick used by the royal family of the Han Dynasty.Together with the folk Zuo Ci, Yu Ji and others, they are collectively called the Three Great Immortals.

Of course, compared to Zuo Ci and Yu Ji, Liu Hong's reputation is obviously not loud enough.

"Lu Gong, is there any news?"

Cai Yong let the two sit in the water pavilion, and Dong Bi went up to meet the teacher.

Lu Zhi nodded and said: "Wang Zishi proposed to play Wu Duo Xiaowei in the court hall today. He really has evil intentions. Xiping is not allowed to participate."

Dong Bi was taken aback, "Why?"

Lu Zhi said, "Does Xiping know why you are so proud of yourself?"

"This, Yuyu Lu, please advise Master Lu."

"Empress He is grateful that you are in charge of the North Palace and you have made friends with Prince Bian. The General also sees it. Who is the most powerful in Luoyang City now? General... Yuan Kai has a group of people, although there are four generations and three princes There are many disciples and old officials, but there are no soldiers or generals in your hands, so there is nothing to worry about. If the general does not speak, you can be sure of no worries."

"But……"

"I know you're worried about the future, but it's not wrong. But if you compete for the new lieutenant, the North Palace will definitely be handed over to others. If you lose the opportunity to get close to Prince Bian, even though you are far-sighted, it's hard to guarantee that you won't be close." Worry. Therefore, the post of Beigong Colonel must not fall into the hands of others, otherwise you will lose the protection of Queen He, and someone will definitely harm you."

Liu Hong drank a glass of wine and said, "Xiping, we three old things are now tied to you. I snatched the position of Captain Nangong a few days ago... But everyone knows that I don't know anything about military affairs. Nangong The first school will still be handed over to you to control, and the two palaces will merge, and the safety of the imperial city will be in your hands, so what are you worried about?"

"But father means..."

Cai Yong interrupted Dong Bi's words, "We all understand Zhongying's meaning, but the problem now is that if you participate in the competition for the new army leader, you will definitely attract the attention of many parties. The Yuan family is bound to win the new army. The general is also coveting the new army. As for the emperor, you don't want the new army that you worked so hard to be controlled by others, do you understand?"

Dong Bi was confused instead!

"Teacher, forgive the students for their stupidity and lack of understanding."

"Master Wang has been quiet for two years, and finally I can't help but jump out to make trouble again... Last time because of Yan'er's incident, I cut his face, and this time I came up with a plan to kill three birds with one stone. , his heart is not poisonous."

Dong Bi hurriedly said: "Please tell the teacher clearly."

Lu Zhi said with a smile: "Now you are proud precisely because you have no position to speak of. You are both right and left, and everyone is in peace. But if you participate in the capture of the new army, this balance will be broken. Before you were fine The position is vague, but if you capture the new army, you will have to show your position, no matter who you choose, you will definitely offend both sides."

Liu Hong said: "This is the first. Second, as the new army commander, you must give up the power of the North Palace. When the time comes, whether it is the eunuch or the general who takes over, the slightest relationship between you and the Inner Palace will Contacts are bound to be severed.”

Cai Yong patted Dong Bi on the shoulder, "Xiping, your lord is planning for a rainy day. It is indeed a good idea for you to capture the new army leader. But you can't give up the power you have in your hands just because of a school of troops. Speaking of which, Bei You have completely controlled the palace, and with the addition of the Luanwei camp in the palace, it is no worse than the new army. If you add Yuan Zhuo's Nangong No. [-] school, you have enough troops to match the top three schools... Whichever is more important, you It should be able to distinguish clearly."

"Then I won't take the new army?"

"No, the new army wants to take..."

Lu Zhi smiled, "I know very well how powerful the people in the hands of the emperor are. They are absolutely no match for the trump cards in the hands of the generals. If the new army is handed over to those people for nothing, the old man will not be reconciled, so he will not increase the difficulty. How can you obey the bad breath in my heart? Therefore, Xiping, you must win the new army, and you must win at least two schools."

Want to take it for a while, but don't let it for a while?

Talking to these old people is really tiring... At least in Dong Bi's view, it is much more tiring than fighting a war.

"Is that to seize, or not to seize?"

Liu Hong laughed loudly, "Zigan, you'd better say it freely. Otherwise, this kid will be in a hurry, and Cai Wengding will fight you hard."

The three old men laughed at the same time, but Dong Bi didn't think it was funny at all.

Staring at Lu Zhi in a daze, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he understood what the old man meant.

"Master Lu means that I don't want to participate in the competition, but can I send someone to participate?"

Lu Zhi twirled his beard and nodded slightly.But I can't help but feel a little melancholy: I think back then I had so many students, and they were all good talents for a while.Those who can fall fall, and those who are ineffective are ineffective.Finally, there are two proud students, one is now a traitor, and the other is too stubborn and doesn't know how to adapt, I am afraid that he will die in the future... Son Lu Yu is only seven years old, not enough to inherit the mantle.Thinking about it, it's really sad.However, Dong Jiazi is not bad.

In the past two years, it's not that Lu Zhi didn't try his best for Liu Bei, but that the name of this traitor has been established and it is always difficult to clear it up.

He intended to let Dong Bi come forward, but then he thought about it, Liu Bei took the initiative to provoke him at the beginning, and they didn't bother him, and took in his family's support, which is already a great deal of face.In fact, Lu Zhi also knew that Dong Pi had been in Luoyang for three years, but he never mentioned this matter. He had already let Liu Bei go, and it would be hard for him to come forward to clean up his crimes.

In fact, it was also fortunate that Lu Zhi did not speak.

If Dong Bi is allowed to confirm Liu Bei's whereabouts, I'm afraid he will try to kill Liu Bei without saying anything.

It's not that he doesn't like Liu Bei. In fact, Dong Bi still admires the benevolent gentleman in the storytelling.

But now that the enmity has been formed, and my brother is planning to take over his wife, this enmity can never be resolved.

Since it cannot be resolved, it can only become a sworn enemy.

Dong Bi will kill Liu Bei without hesitation to prevent future troubles.

Cai Yong said: "We old men do have this intention. I know that you have many powerful generals under your command, and they are still white. Why don't you plan something for them?"

"Then who does Yue Zhang think can fight?"

"Your sworn brother, Dian Wei, is now the capital of Beigong Zuo, and he is also the general of the fierce tiger. He can fight. If your family's general Cheng Li cooperates with him, he will be able to win a school; your brother Sha Moke is a small man from Wuxi. King, with the cooperation of your troll warriors, we should be able to capture one school; Sima Zhang Xiu of the Northern Palace Army is also a good general, and he can go to battle... It is enough for us to seek three schools."

Dong Bi's eyes widened and he looked at Lu Zhi.

I thought to myself: This old man is really ruthless... I only asked for the first school, but he asked for the third school?

But thinking about it again, I couldn't help being moved by Lu Zhi's painstaking efforts.Master Lu is indeed loyal to the emperor. Although this plan is clever, it actually divided my strength.The elder brother and the third younger brother will certainly not blame me, but Zhang Xiu is hard to say.

Forget it, just follow his mind.

Dong Bi immediately nodded and agreed, which made the three elders happy.

Cai Yong said with a smile: "I really want to see what the master Wang looks like when his plan fails..."

******
After returning home, Dong Bi called everyone together, including Ban Zhi, Yan Ming and Ren Hongchang who was on duty in the North Palace.

After announcing the meaning of the three elders, Dian Wei and Sha Moke seemed indifferent.

And Zhang Xiu's appearance obviously looks a little different.Dong Bi narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zhang Xiu, but didn't speak.

"Brother, starting from tomorrow, you don't need to go to the North Palace to be on duty anymore. You can practice kung fu with Sha Sha at home. Cheng Li, Cheng Lian, you two need to cooperate well, and you must adjust your troops to the best within a few days." You are in excellent condition. Zhang Xiu can be temporarily relieved of his position as the commander of the army, and prepare for the battle with all his strength. Before the martial arts performance, Beiman Villa is available for you to use, and you can choose from among the best men and horses."

"Here!"

"From tomorrow on, Pang De will be on duty in the North Palace, acting as a fake Sima; General Qu Yi will be acting as a fake Zuodu, temporarily acting as my elder brother's post. Ban Zhi is our military advisor, and will enter the palace tomorrow to take orders; Yan will report to the South Palace tomorrow, originally There are twelve positions for the time being. Everyone, whether you have a great future, just look at the martial arts performance in ten days, and I wish you all all the best."

Such an adjustment is undoubtedly great news for everyone present.

Immediately got up, intervened and saluted: "I will definitely not have the high hopes of the lord (Young Master)!"

From the second day onwards, Dong Bi seldom stayed at home, staying at the North Palace most of the time and performing the duties of the headquarters.

In the eyes of many people, Dong Bi's actions are undoubtedly sending out a signal that he wants to compete for the new army leader.

For a while, all the people from all walks of life who wanted to compete for the leader of the new army panicked and tried to avoid Dong Pi, the tiger and wolf general.

Ten days, in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, flags and ribbons fluttered in the Beigong school grounds.

Heroes from all walks of life rushed into the school grounds, preparing to compete for the position of the new army's general.Luoyang City, since Emperor Guangwu, has never seen such a grand scene.I saw the stalwart warriors, all of them full of energy, wearing helmets and armor, full of murderous looks.This one is like a tiger, and the other is like a dragon, with swords, spears, swords and halberds, the light is shining, and the cold air is pressing.

Once upon a time, the mighty Wuhan Army that once galloped the world has become a memory in the population of Luoyang.

But now, there was a wave of heroism once again, and when the drums sounded, heroes from all walks of life rushed into the school grounds on horseback.

Because Dong Bi was the captain of Beigong, he stood under the gate of Beigong.

On the head of the palace gate, there is the emperor of Han sitting majestically.

On both sides, the ministers of cultural relics lined up, followed by Jian Shuo, the captain of the military academy, and shouted: "The new army commander, the martial arts show begins!"

In an instant, the audience who had already surrounded the school grounds cheered like a tsunami.

"The competition starts now... Those who win ten battles in a row will be automatically promoted to participate in tomorrow's battle competition... When performing martial arts, swords and guns are ruthless. Therefore, all participants in the competition need to sign a life and death certificate. Life and death are up to fate, no crime will be considered .”

Hearing this, all the generals could not help but gasp.

Watching the battle, Wang Yun and the others couldn't help but change their expressions, but they immediately acted relieved.

Yuan Shao did not join the battle, but asked softly, "Master, is it okay to do this?"

"Just don't worry at the beginning, Wang has already made arrangements... As long as the Dong family son goes to battle, he will definitely be tricked. There is a saying that a tiger can't stand a pack of wolves, even if the Dong family son is all iron, how many nails can he twist? If you go to the battle, you will be left empty-handed. Captain Beigong will definitely not escape the hands of Benchu; if you don’t fight... Hehe, the people of Benchu ​​can win at least two schools, isn’t it just in line with my plan? Anyway, Whether he plays or not, we all have a lot to gain."

Yuan Shao nodded, "In this way, it can also express the evil spirit in my chest."

On the other hand, Cao Cao next to him had a distressed look on his face.

Originally, he wanted to win a new army leader, but he didn't expect Wang Yun to play this trick, which made him very dissatisfied.

He knows his own affairs well, and Cao Cao understands that in terms of force, he can fight an ordinary person, but it is unrealistic to compete with those generals.Therefore, after the rules came out, he voluntarily withdrew from the competition, honestly taking on the long history.But in his heart, he was full of grievances, and his dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao and Wang Yun became more and more intense.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a rumble of war drums sounded.

The military generals who have signed the life and death certificate are gearing up and eager to try.

A general rushed out on his horse, stood in the schoolyard with a big gun in his hand, and shouted sharply: "Li Feng, the Ya gatekeeper of Changshuiying, is here, who will send him to death?"

Before the words fell, one person was immediately annoyed.

He raised his knife and flew out, "Bao Zhong is here, Hugh is going crazy."

The sound of war drums sounded immediately, and the two men fought together with swords and guns.

Dong Bi asked Ban Zhi beside him, "Who is this Bao Zhong?"

"This person is the younger brother of Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jinbei, and now he is a cavalry captain of the Habayashi Army. My lord, it seems that there is a lot of excitement today..."

Is it lively?
Dong Bi took a look, covered his mouth with no grace, and yawned loudly.

To be honest, he really couldn't even arouse the slightest interest in a competition of this level.In Dong Bi's eyes, no matter whether it is Li Feng or Bao Zhong, if he plays, let the two of them join hands, they will be killed within three rounds.

Li Feng was not Bao Zhong's opponent. After more than a dozen rounds, he was defeated.

Before Bao Zhong had time to take a breath, he heard someone shouting: "Bao Zhongxiu is going to be rampant, a certain family is coming!"

As soon as the horse flew out, he immediately fought with Bao Zhong without saying a word.

After another dozen rounds, this player will be defeated.Then, Bao Zhong defeated five generals in a row, showing off his might, so majestic.

There is a saying that experts watch the way, and laymen watch the excitement.

Dong Bi seemed to see the way, frowned, and said softly: "This guy seems to be cheating?"

Ban Zhi smiled and said, "My lord, why should you be surprised, for today's battle, each family has its own means, it's normal."

"Is it normal?"

Dong Bi turned around and looked up at Emperor Han who was watching the battle upstairs at the city gate, only to see him applaud again and again.

Is it to fool the person above... These people really dare to come, and are they not afraid of being spotted by the person?
He wanted to let someone go up to teach him a lesson, but was stopped by Ban Zhi.

"My lord, although this person is not enough to worry about, his brother Bao Xin has a close relationship with Cao Mengde, so don't let the past spoil the harmony."

Dong Bi was startled, and looked up at Cao Cao on the viewing platform on the other side of the school field.

Cao Cao was also looking at him, smiled slightly, and nodded...

"Forget it, let him be rampant!"

After Dong Bi finished speaking, his eyelids drooped and he stopped watching the battle.This kind of competition is really dirty to the eyes, out of sight, out of mind.

At this time, Bao Zhong won ten players in a row, and returned to the front line amidst a burst of victorious drums.

Then three or four people qualified for the final.But Dong Bi saw that he was getting more and more sleepy, and couldn't help yawning.

Sha Moke muttered: "If I knew it, I wouldn't have come to participate in this Laoshizi competition. People watching are so boring."

"In that case, why don't you go up and try?"

Sha Moke was overjoyed when he heard that, "I'll just wait for the second brother's words!"

He rode his horse and rushed out of the formation, and with the barbed thorns in his hand, he let out a thunderous roar immediately: "General Sha Moke of Beigong Yamen is here, whoever is going to die, who is going to die... Come up quickly, Don't let someone wait in a hurry!"

As if giving the people in the school a shot in the arm, everyone immediately regained their spirits.

Beigong finally came out!

In the past two years, Shamoke has played several times in competitions. He is called the killer of Juju.

Seeing this person appear, the audience outside the school immediately burst into cheers.

Everyone knows that the appearance of this person means that the good show is about to begin...

Emperor Handi also had an impression of Sha Moke, and he was immediately happy: "It turns out that the king of the six crimes is playing, not bad, very good!"

The origin of the king of the six criminals, however, stems from the fact that Shamoko will inevitably end the six criminals every time he goes on the court.

Yuan Shao frowned, feeling a bad premonition: "Master Zi, why didn't Dong's son show up, but a barbarian little king?"

Wang Yun thought for a while, "Don't be afraid, these savages have come out, I guess the Dong family can't sit still!"

Just as he was talking, Nasha Moke had already shown his might in the arena, and with one move from the barbed wire, Guduo smashed a general with a man and a horse to a bloody mess.This was also the first time that a dead person appeared in this contest, and the audience who had been agitating and cheering suddenly fell silent.Although the life and death certificates have been signed, most of them were amicable before, and they didn't show any ruthlessness.

Dong Bi grinned and roared, "Shusha, good job!"

Damn it, after watching the fake moves for a long time, it's finally time for a real competition.

It was also Dong Pi's voice that woke up the audience from the shock. In an instant, the applause echoed across the sky like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

Emperor Han's face turned pale, but he kept saying, "This is General Tiger, General Tiger!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Yun gestured towards the crowd of generals.A general wearing a gold helmet, wearing a gold armor, and holding a three-pointed double-edged knife shouted angrily, and rushed out of the crowd, "Barbarian, don't be rampant, let me take your life."

Sha Moke sneered, "Who will come?"

"A certain Ji Ling, look at the knife..."

The man swung his sword and horse quickly, and rushed towards Sha Moke.Wang Yun said with a smile: "This is the fierce general that Gonglu recruited in Nanyang. His name is Ji Ling. He is unstoppable. Even if Shamoke wins, he will be exhausted."

Is it Yuan Shu's person?
Yuan Shao frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

He is very disgusted with Yuan Shu, and he also knows that the brother is very jealous of his current status, and even has the intention of coveting him.

At first he was driven away, but he was unexpectedly recruited in Nanyang.

But thinking about it again, Yuan Shao didn't care too much: Gonglu recruited a strong player in Nanyang, and I also had a strong player in Jizhou.

This Ji Ling is indeed not weak, fighting together with Sha Moke, four or five rounds were tied in the blink of an eye.

Dong Bi frowned, thinking: Is Ji Ling here?
This Ji Ling once appeared in the storytelling, one of the protagonists who shot the halberd at Yuanmen was also this person.Dong Bi has a little impression of the name Ji Ling.But what he cared most about was the weapon in Ji Ling's hand called the three-pointed double-edged sword.

This three-pointed two-edged sword originated from a great sword. Although it is called a sword, it is actually a long-handled sword.

The handle is eight feet long, which can increase the ability to chop and kill.The blade part is thicker than the long sword, and the sword is made sharp and straight.The front end of the melancholy double-edged knife is three-pronged and strong, looking like a gun, so there is a saying of three-pointed double-edged gun.

This is a strange weapon, not among the eighteen kinds of weapons.

Ji Ling's moves were fierce, sometimes stabbing with a knife, and slashing with a spear, unpredictable, very treacherous and sinister.

"This man is good at martial arts!" Ban Zhi said softly: "My brother also uses this kind of weapon, but compared to this man, it is a bit worse."

It turned out that Yan Ming also used this kind of weapon!

Dong Bi was thinking, and suddenly shouted: "Shusha, solve the battle for me within ten strokes!"

After hearing this, Shamoke didn't hold back his hand anymore.The moment the two horses stepped on the wrong foot, they said coldly: "Boy, I'm going to make a trick!"

Ji Ling's heart skipped a beat: It was quite difficult to compete with him just now, why does this barbarian still have a second hand?

Just as he was thinking, Samoko had already killed him.

The barbed terrestris bone is held high, this is called the Taishan egg pressing pose.There was a whistling sound, and the barbed thorns fell down with a gust of wind, Shamoke leaned forward on the horse, and sternly shouted: "Three kills, collapse!"

There was a loud clang, and Ji Ling raised his knife to block it.

But that seemingly ordinary blow seemed to contain endless back moves.

The barbed terrier bone followed the trend, and then fell again. Ji Ling only felt that he blocked seven or eight moves.

The ferocious force came in waves, but Ji Ling couldn't bear it.

The horse under the crotch neighed and neighed non-stop, backed up again and again, the shaft of the three-pointed double-edged knife was complete, Ji Ling's throat was sweet, his heart was stuffy, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained in an instant same.The three-pointed and two-edged knife that is usually in hand has also become extraordinarily heavy.Ji Ling yelled inwardly that he was not good, pulled his horse and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Sha Moke raised his eyebrows, "Second brother asked me to deal with you, how can you escape, three lore kills, break the formation!"

The barbed wire thorn bone was twirling in Shamoko's hand, and the octagonal iron rod produced a strange illusion.

In the eyes of the spectators, the barbed wire seemed to give birth to a whirlpool.

Pu Leng Leng poked out from behind and hit Ji Ling's chest.That Ji Ling was knocked into the air and his breastbone was shattered.The world that fell to the ground turned out to have less air in and more air out, and it was obviously hopeless.

These three lore are the stunts that Shamoke has practiced hard in the past two years.

The trick derived from Zhiyuelu, even Dong Pi and Dian Wei would have a headache if they fought against each other.

Two battles and two deaths, but the generals around the school field looked at each other in dismay.

On the contrary, some generals were eager to try, but helplessly, the people on the viewing platform didn't speak, and they couldn't fight without authorization.

This is indeed a tiger general.

Yuan Shao couldn't help admiring: "Although Dong's son is humble, the bravery of their three brothers is really rare in the world!"

Wang Yun, on the other hand, turned pale, bit his lip, and kept shaking his hands.

Dong Bi sneered, "Although Ji Ling is brave, Sha Sha is even more fierce. Without Guan Zhang's bravery, you can never beat him..."

"Guan Zhang? Who is that?" Ban Zhi asked suspiciously.

Dong Bi immediately realized that he had slipped his mouth, and immediately sneered, without answering, but kept sneering.

Sha Moke circled around the school grounds and shouted sharply: "Who will confront me?"

Everyone can also see that Shamoke doesn't talk about love. If you go up, you will die or I will die.Those who are not capable enough will automatically silence.Those who have enough skills can't fight.Everyone was so anxious, this feeling was really uncomfortable.

Seeing the cold scene in the school field, Emperor Han nodded to Jian Shuo.

"Samoke is the champion of the three armies. Since no one dares to challenge, he will be promoted automatically!"

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, the evil star finally left...

But Shamoke still felt unfulfilled, and after returning to the formation, he was still nagging.Dong Bi said a few words of comfort, looked at the empty school grounds, and suddenly shouted: "Brother, now the third brother has shown his power, it's time for you to show off your glory, brother."

Dian Wei looked up to the sky and laughed loudly when he heard this, "Second brother's words won my heart!"

He hesitated that Dong Pi would not fight, so Dian Wei borrowed the horse Xianglong under his crotch.

Seeing this Dianjun Ming urge his horse to rush into the school field, he raised his halberds and shouted sharply: "Dianwei, the left capital of Beigong, is here, who will fight!"

There is another chapter, which will be updated before eight o'clock.

(End of this chapter)
