Chapter 80 The Controversy Between Li and Zhang (4)
When Zhang Qiao shot the tenth arrow, there was a sound of cheers around him, and each of the ten arrows hit the bull's eye. Tang Huai whispered: "Good arrow technique!"
Wang Gui was a little dissatisfied and turned to Tang Huai and said, "You are not firm in your position, so how can you praise the enemy?"
Tang Huai curled his lips and whispered: "He is not our enemy, and he is already shooting well! What's the matter with praising me?"
Wang Gui glared at him, "Old Li's enemy is my Wang Gui's enemy. Lao Li still thinks you are a good friend. You'd better figure out your position."
Yue Fei quickly advised them, "Don't argue at all times, Lao Li is going to shoot arrows!"
At this time, Li Yanqing also picked up the eight-dou bow that Zhang Qiao had just used, carried a pot of arrows on his back, and walked around with his fists high. The joy was like thunder, and the applause was obviously much warmer than Zhang Qiao. Of course, everyone supports the children of Xiaohe Township.
Li Yanqing returned to the archery line. At this time, the servants had already set up a new target. Li Yanqing pulled the arrow and stomped the strings, exerting the powerful power of his continuous arrows again. One arrow was faster than the other, and ten arrows shot accurately on the bull's eye.
The cheers were getting louder and louder. As the last arrow shot out, almost all the guests cheered. Even Wang Wanhao applauded and ignored Zhang Junbao. Zhang Junbao was secretly annoyed and let Li Wenyou taste the feeling of being slapped in the face later.
The servant showed the two targets to everyone. Although both of them were hitting the bull's eye with ten arrows, Li Yanqing's arrows were obviously more neat and distributed in a regular manner, shooting into a circle, while Zhang Qiao's arrows were a little messy. The ones who were higher and lower could be seen at a glance by an insider.
However, in order to take care of Zhang Baojun's face, Wang Wanhao and Tang Lian could only announce that the archery technique was tied.
But Zhang Qiao could not accept the draw. He was already seventeen years old and was still the third place in the Xiangzhou Wushu Examination. The opponent was just a twelve-year-old country boy. If the draw was announced, it would be like he lost.
He immediately whispered to everyone: "I have made an appointment with Li Shaolang just now. If the arrow is shot into a draw, then continue to compete with the weapons until the winner is decided."
There was a sudden silence around, and everyone looked at each other. Isn’t this obvious that it is to bully the small by bullying the big?
Li Wenyou asked loudly, "Qing'er, do you accept it?"
Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Class leader, I have no problem!"
"But I'm a little worried!"
Li Wenyou glanced at Zhang Junbao, "I'm afraid that someone will not admit it if he loses!"
Zhang Junbao was furious, "Don't come and provoke the enemy. When did our Zhang family lose and refuse to admit their debts?"
Li Wenyou said meaningfully: "That's the best!"
On the venue, Li Yanqing walked up to Zhang Qiao and said, "How do you think you compare?"
Zhang Qiao shook her head, "I'm competing with you to ride and shoot. I guess others will scold me for bullying you. Since you are young, let you decide."
Wang Gui shouted: "Old Li, compete with him for swords!"
This is exactly what Li Yanqing meant. He was most confident in shaving stones, but he was worried that the villagers would not admit that shaving stones was a martial art, so he could only settle for the second best and compete in swords.
He smiled faintly and said, "I will compete with you in swords."
"Okay! This is what you mentioned."
When everyone heard that the two of them were going to compete in swords, they were even more interested and didn't bother to drink and eat. They surrounded them and talked.
Although everyone hopes that Li Yanqing can win, his opponent is the third place in the martial arts examination. How could a country boy be the opponent of the Jieshi Juren?
Zhang Junbao was even more proud. In front of Wang Wanhao and Tang Lian, he hypocritically said to Li Wenyou: "I have told my nephew to show mercy, so that I will not hurt Brother Qing. At most, I can only be ugly. There is nothing I can do about it."
Li Wenyou had a slight face and said nothing.
Li Yanqing's thick-bone short sword was always carried with him. This was something he got accidentally when he was having a drink at Li Dongdong's house. The sword weighed seven kilograms, which was a little heavy back then. Now he used the right weight.
Zhang Qiao's sword is a fifteen-pound heavy sword. It is more of a whip than a sword. He is a power warrior, good at using maces and whips. He takes a heavy sword, but uses whip techniques.
The two stood three meters apart. The referee was Liu Wushi, the newly hired by Wang Gui family. He was an expert. He knew that Zhang Qiao had taken advantage of the situation at first sight. The sword was heavy and long and had heavy power. Brother Li's short sword was vulnerable at all. However, what surprised him a little was that Brother Li actually used the army's battle sword, which was extremely rare.
Wang Wanhao shouted loudly: "Stop until you can, don't hurt anyone!"
Zhang Qiao narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Yanqing's sword. He was sure that the weight of his sword was at least twice that of the opponent. With just one blow, he could knock the opponent's weapons away. If the opponent has no weapons, he would win.
Li Wenyou was really nervous and sweated. This plan was proposed by Li Yanqing, who used gambling to force Zhang Junbao to give up the fleet himself. Although Li Wenyou did not agree very much, he did not want Li Yanqing to take risks.
But apart from this method, he had no way out and had to do it. Unexpectedly, Li Yanqing actually tied the opponent's archery, which made Li Wenyou's heart ignite another glimmer of hope.
Li Wenyou secretly prayed for God's blessing and asked for the great ancestor's blessing that Li Yanqing could defeat the other party and let their food survive.
Mr. Liu shouted, "Start!"
Zhang Qiao pulled out a sword flower, shouted loudly, and rushed up. Li Yanqing's figure was faster and flashed by. Both sides had already passed a move. Zhang Qiao cut the sky with a sword, and the sword slashed heavily on the ground. No one could see clearly how Li Yanqing made his hand. Unexpectedly, he carried the short sword on his shoulder and looked at Zhang Qiao with a smile.
Wang Gui suddenly jumped up, pointed at Zhang Qiao and shouted: "He lost!"
Everyone was puzzled and didn't see anything clearly. Where did Zhang Qiao lose? Zhang Qiao didn't move, his face flushed red. Suddenly, his belt fell to the ground, his robe opened, revealing the white underwear inside.
Everyone burst into laughter. It turned out that Brother Li cut off the other party's belt with one sword. Isn't this a win? Everyone clapped and shouted together.
Li Wenyou calmed down at this moment. He looked back at Zhang Junbao and said lightly: "You lost!"
Tang Lian smiled aside and said, "Mr. Wu Jie is indeed showing mercy."
Zhang Junbao was slapped in the face in public, and was ashamed and annoyed, and extremely ugly. He quickly walked to Zhang Qiao and whispered viciously: "Useless things!"
Zhang Qiao was ashamed. He held a sword in one hand and grabbed the robe in the other. He didn't even bother to pick up the belt. He lowered his head and left quickly. He didn't want to stay here for a moment.
Only Liu Wushi changed in shock. He was an expert. Only he knew the skill of Li Yanqing's sword best. He could only describe it as fast, accurate and ruthless. If it were actual combat, Zhang Qiao would have been blown open. How old is this young man? How could his swordsmanship be so powerful?
Wang Gui and Yue Fei rushed over cheering, hugging Li Yanqing tightly to celebrate the victory together, but Tang Huai felt a little embarrassed and walked up to Li Yanqing and smiled, "Good swordsmanship!"
After the competition, everyone went to the front to have a meal. Li Wanhao patted Zhang Junbao on the shoulder and said apologetically: "Old Zhang, I'm sorry this time. I will give it to you next time I use the boat."
Zhang Junbao was really helpless and had to glar at Li Wenyou fiercely and left with hatred. He lost so much today that he could only find a way to deal with the Li family in the future.
Wang Wanhao looked at his back and shook his head. This man was narrow-minded and wanted to stab the Li family in the back, but in the end he humiliated himself. Why bother?
Wang Wanhao walked up to Li Wenyou and bowed and congratulated: "Congratulations to Brother Li, you are brave and resourceful, and you won beautifully!"
Li Wenyou was radiant and his little eyes were shining. He squinted his eyes and said to Wang Wanhao: "Now I only care about when will you give me the boat as soon as possible?"
Wang Wanhao laughed, "Brother Li, don't be anxious! Since I agreed, how could I regret it?"
"Rescue is like putting out a fire, how can I not be in a hurry?"
Wang Wanhao thought for a while and said, "The fleet is on the Yongji Canal, you can borrow it at any time, but I want to make it clear that I don't allow the price, you must add another 50% to the usual ship price."
"No problem, I will give you the highest ship price. I will rush to Anyang County now. I won't drink the wine. I will apologize to you after I put the wine in the future."
Seeing that he was anxious, Wang Wanhao ordered the manager to pack up the ship and head north. Li Wenyou walked to Li Yanqing again. This child was worthy of being possessed by the soul of the great ancestor, and actually turned them over.
He pressed Li Yanqing's shoulder heavily and said to him with great emotion: "Qing'er, this time I saw what blood honor and disgrace meant in you. Together with a tribe like you, our Li family will definitely prosper and develop."
Li Yanqing nodded silently, feeling an inexplicable touch in his heart. As he became more and more deeply integrated into this era, he gradually realized the unbreakable bloodline between people of the race, and the courage to fight for the interests of the family without hesitation.
"I will accompany the patriarch to Anyang north! I'm still a little worried."
Li Wenyou grinned and said, "No, this is the military ship. I dare not do anything randomly by leveraging him with a hundred courage. You go to the county school to study hard and strive to get into the juren as soon as possible. OK! I won't say much about the principle. Time is tight, so I have to take a step first."
Li Yanqing sent the clan leader out of the gate. Li Wenyou walked a few steps and stopped again, as if he had thought of something. He patted his forehead and turned around and smiled, "Look at me, I, the clan leader, have not given me a reward, I am incompetent!"
"What do the patriarch intends to reward me?" Li Yanqing scratched his head and asked with anticipation.
"I will reward you with the geese!"
"What!" Li Yanqing almost stepped on the air and shouted in dismay.
Li Wenyou was in a very happy mood, and he couldn't help laughing, "Just make a joke with you, I've sent you the prize to your house, you can see it when you go back, I believe you will not be disappointed."
