Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 496
Speaking of Yue Ying, even though Mingzhu once said that she would like to call her sister, in fact, she still felt a little disgusted in her heart, but seeing Li Wenxuan's serious expression, and thinking about it carefully, the relationship between Li Wenxuan and Yue Ying is nothing. The two had known each other for a long time, and they were in trouble together. Yue Ying accompanied Li Wenxuan through the most difficult time, and she was the daughter of Yue Fei, a famous general in the Song Dynasty. Father is the great hero in Li Wenxuan's heart, and his position is the same, but my father and Li Wenxuan have a great hatred, as long as they can meet each other and not kill each other, it will be thankful.

In this comparison, Mingzhu could only sigh. The relationship between Li Wenxuan and Yue Ying was probably much stronger than her own, so she blinked her eyes, put away the bottle of vinegar, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, wait until we get together After returning to Lin'an, if Ms. Yue is mad at you and refuses to talk to you, I will help you out and make sure she behaves in front of you, just like a little sheep. If you tell him to go east, she will go east. , if you tell her to go west, she will go west."

Li Wenxuan's heart moved, this temptation is not small, now from time to time he is struggling with how to face Mingzhu in the future, and immediately asked: "What should I do? Tell me quickly."

A blush appeared on Yue Ying's face, and she leaned into Li Wenxuan's ear and murmured a few words, making Li Wenxuan blushed, unable to laugh or cry.

Because Mingzhu only said five words: "The Overlord will force his bow!"

There was nothing to say all night, and the second day before the sun was bright, I could already hear the crowds in Kret's department. Li Wenxuan and others were awakened by this noisy sound. Although there was still some time before the start of the bullfight, Already without any sleepiness, a group of more than 20 people tidied up and left the tent where they had lived for a few days, and followed the flow of people to the place where the bullfighting meeting will be held.

On the way, Hu San asked Mu Chuan in a low voice: "Brother Mu, do you think our hero can win the first prize in this bullfight?"

Mu Chuan now has an abnormal trust in Li Wenxuan, without even thinking about it, he said directly: "I will definitely do it!"

"But..." Hu San still didn't have the confidence. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'm not trying to boost other people's ambitions or destroy my own prestige. It's just that this wrestling is about arm strength and physique, not swordsmanship and lightness. We There is nothing to say about this hero's kung fu, but his physique is not good enough, so he will suffer at that time."

Hu San's kung fu is not to mention compared with Li Wenxuan, but it is also inferior to Mu Chuan. Some of the mysteries are naturally not understood. At this time, the short fat man walked behind Hu San, grabbed his collar and lifted him up. Get up and ask, "How do you see my arm strength?"

Hu San was taken aback and thought it was bad luck for someone to come to him. Seeing that it was a short fat man, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Brother Fatty, won't you go up to show your hands today? If you go, just go Just sweep half the grassland, I want to see which of them dare to fight with you."

Humpty Dumpty is also very flattering, he grinned, showing a row of big white teeth, and said: "I can lift you up with one hand, that's great, our hero also lifted me up with one hand, look at him How is your arm strength?"

"This..." Hu San glanced at Li Wenxuan who was walking in the crowd. Today, Li Wenxuan was dressed in ordinary clothes, with a bit of plant ash that Pearl got on his face, and his complexion was gray. His subordinates were no different, let alone heroic. If Humpty Dumpty hadn't said it himself, he really didn't believe that Li Wenxuan could lift this big man with one hand, but he didn't dare to say no, so he could only smile: "Then Yes, that is, a hero is invincible!" He made up his mind to take a good look at how Li Wenxuan fought for a while.

The place where the Bull Fighting Club is located is actually a large flat grassland, but it was surrounded by wooden fences in advance to isolate the crowd, and also to worry that the bulls in the field would rush into the crowd and hurt people.Outside the fence is densely surrounded by people from various tribes. Generally, people from one tribe or several tribes with good relations gather together. There are people's heads shaking around the place, and it looks like there are tens of thousands of people. , so it doesn't count the guards of the Kret department who are patrolling and guarding the periphery.

The people from other tribes that I saw outside the tribe yesterday were no more than a thousand people. Today, the formation of more than ten thousand people in the meeting place can almost be said to be the largest number in the history.

In the north of the venue, a wooden platform several feet high was built with dozens of seats, which were prepared for the leaders of various tribes or some extremely important people who came this time, such as Dumpty’s in the tribe. If the status is higher, you can still have a seat on it, but it is still a little bit short.In the middle of these seats is a tiger skin couch, needless to say, it must be the seat of the owner of this place, Zali.

When Li Wenxuan and others arrived at the venue, they were not in a hurry to move forward. After all, it was still early, and Li Wenxuan didn't want to make a move too early. He had already greeted several other people before, and deliberately delayed the time to grind the wild platform. to see if there are other variables in the matter, and you can also take a look at the scene to find the right time to act.

However, after seeing the surrounding situation clearly, Li Wenxuan's heart became even more tense. Leaving aside the tens of thousands of people around the venue, they can be regarded as mobs. Even if someone killed Zali in public, these people would not He will definitely let himself go. After all, these tribes are not all of the same mind, and most of them are related to interests. It has only been a month since Zali ascended the position of chief patriarch, and he has no deep friendship with other tribes. , so Li Wenxuan is not worried about this.

However, in the place where everything is expected, there are teams of Kelei cavalry patrolling back and forth. There are quite a few of these cavalry, and there are four temporary camps in the east, northwest, and four directions, which can be seen. They were all cavalry from Kret's department, and there were probably more than 4000 of them in total, obviously prepared for emergencies.

Li Wenxuan gasped, looking at the situation, even if Zhali was killed, as long as four thousand cavalry rushed forward, all of them would be trapped here.

Seeing Li Wenxuan's uneasy expression, Mingzhu said, "Li Lang, what's wrong?"

Mu Chuan and the others also came over, and Li Wenxuan showed them the situation around them. Immediately, they were all a little dull, and Mu Chuan said, "Why don't we kill Zhali, and find a way to catch those alive and bring them to Yetai?" How, as long as he is here, no one else dare to do anything to us?"

Regarding Mu Chuan's suggestion, Hu San and Humpty Humpty immediately nodded in agreement. Li Wenxuan didn't have any objections at first, but after thinking about it, he said: "You know, Yetai has many secret sentries beside Zali, and some of them are The guards around him, and some leaders of soldiers and horses, since the purpose of Yetai is to let Zali die in our hands, he will not allow us to bring Zali alive to him, if we hold Zali hostage Li, Zali's cronies are naturally wary and dare not do anything to us, but the people in Yetai are different. I predict that his people will definitely push us into a desperate situation. Not only will these people not care about Zali Life and death also want our lives, and in the end not only Zali will die, but we will also fall into a desperate situation."

Everyone thought about it, and it was indeed the truth, and the silence was restored again. In order to relieve the atmosphere, Li Wenxuan laughed and said: "Everyone, don't be nervous, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and there will be a way when the time comes. No matter what, we I have to go back alive today!"

Li Wenxuan's group found a place in the middle of the crowd. This place was not eye-catching, and it was inside the crowd, so few people would notice it. At this time, Mu Chuan and Humpty brought a few people to guard the outside. To prevent strangers from intruding into his place, Hu San volunteered to go out to investigate, saying that he wanted to see if there was anything suspicious.

Only Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu were left in the middle. Mingzhu was supposed to dress up as a man, but her figure was too graceful, especially her eyes, which were so watery that people couldn't bear to let them go. Pretending to be a man is also one of the alternatives. I don’t know how many people will stare at me, so after thinking about it, I bought a few leather jackets and pretended to be a woman. I kept my head down all the way. Inconspicuous.The two sat cross-legged on the grass, Li Wenxuan closed his eyes and meditated, Mingzhu leaned against him, looking around from time to time.

Not long after, as people from various tribes found their own places, the place that was already somewhat quiet suddenly became noisy. Mingzhu took a look and said hurriedly: "Li Lang, come and see, it's Zhali who is here." Already!"

Hearing this, Li Wenxuan immediately got up and looked into the distance, and saw more than a hundred people walking towards the wooden platform surrounded by a very burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.Mingzhu pointed at the man and said, "This is Zali. Look at the people around him, many of them are skilled in kung fu. If we use force, we may be surrounded by others before we get close." .”

Li Wenxuan nodded, feeling that the feeling of seeing Zali at first sight was much better than that of Yetai. Although he was born rough, he was somewhat heroic. Prefer to help someone like Zali.Said: "I just don't know how many of these people were bought by Yetai, and how many of them are Zali's confidantes. Alas, today's matter is very troublesome. I think Zali's kung fu is not weak. Here It’s also quite powerful.”

Mingzhu also agreed: "I don't think he is worse than Mu Chuan, why didn't Yetai tell us this information before."

Li Wenxuan said: "It doesn't matter, it's the same whether you say it or not, come on, you keep this for me, and wronged Grassland Pearl to be my sword boy today!" In Mingzhu's hands, even though the scabbards of the two swords had been wrapped in coarse cloth, most people here used scimitars. These two long swords were too eye-catching to stay on. Mingzhu held the two swords obliquely In front of her chest, she tilted her head and gave Li Wenxuan a look. She really looked like a sword boy, and then Mingzhu took out a dagger from her arms and stuffed it in Li Wenxuan's boot. , this dagger may be more useful than a long sword.

After Zali sat down, many seats on the stage also filled up one after another. Many people, not to mention Li Wenxuan, even Mu Chuan probably didn't know them, but the short fat man knew a few, and introduced a few to Li Wenxuan. They are nothing more than important figures in some tribes, but these people have nothing to do with Li Wenxuan and the others. Li Wenxuan just nodded and didn't care much.

The guards on the wooden platform were not tight, there were only dozens of people standing around, and there were quite a few people under the wooden platform. If Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu rushed up to the platform from below to make a surprise attack, these people would be unable to stop them of.It's no wonder, after all, there are some important figures on the stage, if there are too many guards, it will be a bit embarrassing.

After that, without much effort, the seats on the wooden platform were almost full, and then only a long row of horns sounded, and a group of knights galloped in from outside the arena. The leader of the leading knights held a colorful flag high, A bull's head hung on the end of the flag, which looked a little scary. The cavalry team ran directly under the wooden platform and presented the colorful flag to Zali. Zali took the colorful flag and waved it vigorously several times. There was a burst of cheers, and then Zali inserted the colorful flags beside the wooden platform.Li Wenxuan couldn't understand why Zali could make the people around him so excited just by waving the flag.

Mu Chuan whispered next to him: "This is the ceremony at the beginning of the Bull Fighting Festival. When the bull's head god flag lands, the Bull Fighting Festival will start. After the Bull Fighting Festival is over, this colorful flag will also be given to today's most powerful warriors. A flag is the supreme honor on the grassland, and in a bullfight meeting three years ago, Zali himself won the first cattle flag, and it was only then that Zali's reputation gradually rose."

The bullfighting meeting has already started, and dozens of large wooden cages were pushed into the arena, and each wooden cage contained a large black ox. The stature is also stronger, and what's more important is that these cows look very manic in the cage, bumping into the wooden cages constantly, if the cages are not strong, or these black cows are afraid that they will break out of the cage.

Mu Chuan saw Li Wenxuan's doubts, and said: "These cows were fed a special kind of weeds by the wizards in the tribe a few days ago, and then their temperament became very manic. Don't talk about people, it's the tigers and wolves who encounter these crazy animals. Cattle can't take advantage of it."

Humpty Dumpty also said: "Last year, a brother in our tribe was pierced by the black bull's horn, and he died not long after he was rescued."

Li Wenxuan asked: "Since it's so dangerous, why don't you wrap the horns with fur? Isn't this way to avoid hurting people?"

Mingzhu said with a smile: "This is the custom here, such things happen every year in the bullfighting fair, but more people will come to participate, because more people want to get honor than get injured or die. "

While speaking, three strong men jumped over the fence and jumped into the arena one after another. After saying hello to the guard in charge of the wooden cage, the three black bulls were released soon.

The three strong men each stared at a black bull, or the black bull stared at them, and each of the three trotted a few steps, leading the three black bulls away for a certain distance, and then jumped around the black bull to dodge. I want to look for an opportunity to grab the horns of the black bull.

When a person fights with a bull, if he wants to put the black bull on the ground without using a weapon, he can only find a way from the horn. The most common way is to hold the horn with both hands, and then wrestle with the bull to turn the bull over. On the ground, but generally speaking, the strength of a cow is much stronger than that of a human. The black bulls here are still a little crazy, and it is much more difficult to grab the horns. Moreover, the forward momentum of the black bull It is also very terrifying, even if it is able to grab the horns, it is likely to be knocked to the ground by the black bull. This big guy of several hundred kilograms is enough to scream whether it is pushed up by the horns or stepped on a person. An adult man has a broken bone, so this bull fight seems simple, but in fact it is very dangerous. Only a real strongman dares to fight a bull directly when he comes up. Most people rely on dodge and provocation. Constantly consuming the black bull's physical strength, seeing that the black bull is about to die, then he will start to grab the horns, so the chance of success will be higher.

Among the three strong men, only one tried to grab the horns as soon as he came up, and his movement skills were not bad. He hit the horns cleanly and grabbed the horns, which immediately attracted cheers from many people outside the arena. Encouragement, but it was only a momentary thing. Following the black bull, he rushed forward a few steps, flicked his head to the side, and withstood the strong man's belly. Fortunately, the bull's horn was still in his hand. Although he was bumped into a big somersault, he was not pierced by the bull's horn.

The strong man was also covered in cold sweat from fright, and he didn't dare to delay, he got up on the spot, and the big head of the black cow was pushed to the back of his buttocks at the same time, the strong man ignored everything at this time, and spread his hands The legs ran wildly, and the black bull chased after him.

The people outside and the guards in the arena saw this thrilling scene, but none of them came forward to lend a helping hand. They just looked at the funny appearance of the strong man, but laughed genuinely, probably because they felt that he was too uncomfortable. within our means.Fortunately, although the black bull has great strength, it doesn't necessarily run very fast. The strong man rushed to the side of the fence and climbed over the fence with both hands and feet. But the black bull didn't have time to stop, and directly put his head on the fence .

There was only a bang, and a piece of the thick wood on the fence broke, causing the onlookers to dodge again and again, fearing that the black bull would break through the fence, but the black bull seemed to have injured its head. He wobbled, turned in the wrong direction and ran away, but the strong man before was exhausted, squatting on the ground with his fart on the ground, wearing rough clothes, and all the contemptuous eyes cast on him from all around, the man calmed down for a moment , I also knew that I was unsuccessful in trying to get the limelight today, because I was too impatient, and instead I lost an adult, covered my face and ran out, and almost ran into Li Wenxuan.

Li Wenxuan didn't mean to laugh at people, looking at the figure of the strong man running out, it felt a bit regretful, but before Li Wenxuan could express his emotions, he heard exclamations from all around.
