Chapter 74 Continuous Challenge
But it was said that Zhao Tong was studying in the room, and what he was reading was a novel written by an unknown person, called "Old Things in Lanling". The content was quite exciting, with warblers singing and swallows calling, laughing and cursing. Suddenly, the housekeeper knocked on the door.
I came in to ask, but someone came forward to post it.
Zhao Tong took the post and looked at it. He couldn't help but was startled at first. He had never seen such a multi-word greeting post before. The post was nothing more than the title, position, place of origin, name, name, respectful words, and this sequence was all. For example, the Marquis of Shouting of the Han Dynasty
The former general Guan Yu of Hedong Jiexian County paid homage to Guan Yu, but this post contains a lot of words after the honorific.
Zhao Tong glanced at it and then replied, and in the end he only landed on the three words "Lu Junyi".
He was silent for a long time, and the housekeeper didn't dare to talk to him, nor did he dare to leave. After all, he still had to reply.
Zhao Tong did not know about Lu Junyi before, and Zhou Tong never mentioned this matter when he taught him. It was not until Yue Fei arrived, and they talked at night by candlelight, that they found out that Zhou Tong had talked to Yue Fei, and that Lu Yi was one of his direct disciples.
.
He judged Lu Junyi's temperament based on the words on the post, and recalled that his family remembered this person's deeds. He couldn't help but sigh slightly, and he had the intention of bringing him over to live in his house, but after carefully weighing it, it was better to do it slowly.
Lu Junyi is different from Yue Fei. Yue Fei is like a Kun in the clear water, pure and innocent, but Lu Junyi is a local tycoon. He rashly invites him to live in his house. Something is not right.
He thought for a while and said, "Call the person who sent the sticker. I have something to ask."
After a while, Xiao Yi entered the house, but he was not afraid of strangers. He was respectful but not embarrassed. He paid homage to Zhao Tong and said: "Yan Qing of the famous house, the more you dare to pay homage to the prince on behalf of the head of the family, Lu Junyi."
Seeing how suave and courageous he was, Zhao Tong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why didn't my senior brother come directly to the house and write a greeting note?"
Yan Qing has a delicate mind and knows what is meant. When she heard the two kings thinking about their affection, she was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, the master has said that there is no shortage of etiquette."
Zhao Tong nodded and said, "How is my senior brother?"
Yan Qing said: "Master only practices martial arts at home and has nothing else to do. It is only after drinking that he reveals his true feelings and misses Grandmaster Zhou, the prince and all the junior brothers."
Zhao Tong looked at him, but this Yan Qing was a talker. He remained silent for a few breaths and said, "Senior brother, do you have anything else to do when you come to Tokyo?"
Yan Qing said: "It's true that I paid my respects to the prince. I just saw this Liao man competing in the ring, and I felt unhappy. My master often said that he would serve his country loyally until his death, so he wanted to go on stage to compete, but he had no choice but to pass the registration date..."
Zhao Tong said: "This matter is easy to handle. I will write a note in a moment and you can take it to the Imperial Guards Office. There is a man named Yang Zhi above the door who has committed a crime and has done meritorious service. He told me my instructions and asked him to find someone to handle the matter."
”
Yan Qing was overjoyed and thanked him hurriedly. Zhao Tong said again: "Senior Brother Lu came to Beijing and wanted to meet him immediately to show his friendship. However, I have been in charge of the ring these days, and I am busy with official duties. I will stay for a few days."
, I invited Senior Brother Lu to a banquet, and I asked Senior Brother Lu not to blame him."
Yan Qing hurriedly said, "How dare you?", but her heart was filled with joy. She secretly thought that the original master had prepared the worst plan of coming to the door without any hope, but she did not expect that the second king was so kind, but the master was a little dull and solemn. , it seems that after returning home, I need to persuade him hard and remember to lower my self-esteem in everything.
Yan Qing excused herself and went back to the inn. When she saw Lu Junyi, she explained clearly. Lu Junyi was happy in his heart. He only thought that he had spent the first half of his life polishing his martial arts. Could it be that the second half of his life would really be useful?
He also secretly thought that the king is so noble that it would be better not to see him now. Only when he gets into the ring and kills all the way can he be respected. Otherwise, even if he doesn't say it with his mouth, he will still despise him in his heart.
Yan Qing didn't know what kind of temper his master was, so when he saw him thinking, he added fuel to the fire, which made Lu Junyi feel excited. Later, he urged him to sign up quickly, and he also wanted to change clothes and go.
Yan Qing said with a smile: "This is something that the master can't figure out. Since there is a note from the Second King and it is clearly stated who should be asked to do the work, why does the master need to go there in person? The master's status is different now. Xiao Yi can handle this matter alone. ."
Lu Junyi thought about this and let Yan Qing go, while he drank alone in the room.
In the blink of an eye, the next day comes, and this time there are more and more people under the ring, but why do you think? There are actually many people like Lu Junyi who are on the road, so they are late in entering the city.
Zhao Tong looked at the huge crowds of people in the audience, and then mobilized the imperial troops to maintain the situation, and then presided over the start of the competition after everything was done.
On this day, Bai Shizhong, the Minister of Rites, was not present, nor was Gao Qiu, but there were several ministers from other departments, heads of various departments in the Ministry of War, and adjutants from the front department.
Unexpectedly, Mi Zhenting climbed up to the canopy again with a stick. He only said that he had taken leave from the official family and came to watch the excitement. Tong Guan sat next to Zhao Tao and cursed, the old man didn't do anything on weekdays, so why did he take leave? However, It’s just eating and drinking in the imperial city without spending any money.
Zhao Tong knew that the two of them had a bad relationship, probably from the time of Tong Guan's godfather Li Xian, but how to say this kind of thing, whoever survives to the end is always the winner, right?
When the ten rounds started, Zhao Tong saw Yan Qing in the crowd at a glance, and then looked at the person next to him, standing tall and powerful, with an upright face and piercing eyes. He knew it must be the jade unicorn Lu Junyi.
He looked at it for a moment and couldn't help but nodded slightly. Apart from other things, this senior brother's calm demeanor was far beyond comparison with other warriors. The so-called expert can tell if there is something there when he reaches out his hand. Sometimes he just looks at a person's posture, waist and legs. Calmness can also be used to estimate the level of martial arts.
Lu Junyi did not dare to look up on the stage. Firstly, he was a high-ranking official in the temple, so he was afraid of collision. Secondly, he was afraid that Zhao Tong would see him and think he was frivolous and flattering.
The sound of the drum sounded, and he stretched out his hand towards Yan Qing, who handed him a stick. How much skill does it take to dare to use a wooden stick to fight against the enemy in the arena of life and death?
He announced his first name and walked forward with the sound of the drums. He didn't care about the choice of whether to go first or second. He just came to the first ring and jumped directly on it.
Mi Zhenting laughed on the stage and said: "There is a master here, how can I play with this stick?"
The little butler behind him said: "Of course I can't compare with Big Daddy."
Mi Zhenting shook his head and said: "I'm afraid of young people's strength in boxing. Now I'm still very competitive. I'm afraid that a gust of wind can blow down my old bones."
Zhao Tong looked around, but he didn't see Xiao Changkong, the young man from yesterday. Instead, there were many new faces that he had never seen before. He knew that the soldiers who were in the iron camp were not seen every day.
Lu Junyi stood on the No. 1 ring, but opposite him was a Liao man wielding a long-step sword. This long-step sword was naturally different from the plain sword.
The Pu Dao is half of a farm tool and can be disassembled. There was a big case involving this thing in this dynasty. It was probably an official who was ordered to investigate. Seeing Pu Dao along the way, they were furious and arrested several people to question them. As a result, there was a riot.
When I went to the court and asked for evidence, I realized that there was a big story.
The handle of this simple sword can be detached, and the long handle is suitable for self-defense, but the short handle is used for slash and burn farming. The officials felt that they had lost face, so they cut off the official, and they gradually asked less about the simple sword.
The long-step sword is far inferior to the simple sword. It is a standard weapon and a sharp weapon for killing people. When the Liao people saw a big man coming up with a stick, they couldn't help laughing and said: "That man, could it be that there is no one in the Song Dynasty?
Come here with a burning fire stick to die?"
Lu Junyi did not quarrel with him, but stood still. The Liao man was angry, stepped forward and slashed with his long sword.
Lu Junyi's body swayed slightly, but without using any force, the stick came to the Liao man's knee. With just one blow, the bone was broken into pieces. Then he lifted the stick directly to the audience, and he didn't even finish a round.
p>
"Continuous defeat!" Lu Junyi shouted to the audience.
"Continuous beating!"
"Continuous beating!"
"Continue to beat!"
"Keep beating!"
Before noon, they competed five times in a row!
Up and down the canopy, all eyes were attracted to Arena No. 1, and Tong Guanyi said solemnly: "It's really amazing."
Chapter completed!
