Chapter 1996 Sparring with Meng Yunzheng
After saying that, Meng Yunzheng took the spear, walked to the weapon rack, put the spear back in, then picked out a sword, tried it out, and walked back to the center of the martial arts stage.
It just so happens that he's been busy with Qi Lie lately and hasn't had a proper fight in a long time.
Seeing the commotion on the martial arts stage, such an exciting scene made his fingers restless.
He picked up his sword and said to Uncle Meng, "Uncle, please rest backstage first."
"Okay, okay."
Uncle Meng was helped down by Madam Tao, and only then did Meng Yunzheng look at the bodyguard opposite him.
The镖师 (bodyguard/escort) was in his thirties, with a burly build and extremely stable lower body.
He sized Meng Yunzheng up and down, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Scholar Meng, I'm a rough man. If I hurt you, you..."
"It's alright, Uncle Qu, please proceed."
The镖师 (bodyguard/escort) sighed inwardly, thinking he should hold back a bit later, lest he hurt Meng. He'd heard that Scholar Meng was going to take the provincial examination this year, and he couldn't ruin Meng's future.
Thinking this, the guard rushed forward with his knife, but he was very cautious in his moves, showing much more restraint compared to his fight with Uncle Meng.
However, the next moment, with a 'clang', the knife in the guard's hand was suddenly knocked away and landed directly below the martial arts stage.
The guard was stunned. His hand was burning hot; there was no injury, but his muscles were trembling.
He looked up in surprise; this was not the strength expected of a frail scholar.
The bodyguards below the stage were also stunned for a moment, but soon someone shouted, "Old Qu, you're being way too obvious about going easy on us."
"Exactly, their hands are so weak and they have no strength at all. Look, the knife flew away."
Everyone else could see that the guard was not using his full strength, so they assumed he was doing it on purpose and had no intention of fighting Meng Yunzheng.
Only the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) himself knew how much force had knocked his knife away.
Yes, his attacks may not be fast or powerful, but that doesn't mean he has an unsteady grip on the knife.
Qu, the bodyguard, swallowed hard, turned around, took the knife picked up by the bodyguard below the stage, took a deep breath, and looked at Meng Yunzheng with burning eyes, saying, "Again."
"good."
With a clang, swords clashed, sparks flew, and the fight between the two sides instantly turned murderous.
The bodyguards below the stage shouted in surprise, staring in astonishment at the two figures amidst the flashing swords.
Just as Uncle Meng had said, the guard was very steady and every move he made was solid.
Meng Yunzheng is different; he is skillful, powerful, and has a very solid foundation.
He learned martial arts from Meng Pei since he was a child. Later, his mother saved Yan Bo, who came from the Jianghu and was the most skilled in the entire escort agency. Meng Yunzheng then learned from Yan Bo.
After he turned ten, he was taken back to the Gong family by Gong Qiu. Because he explained to Gong Qiu that his brain was damaged and that studying for the imperial examinations was no longer a good option, Gong Qiu had him learn martial arts and hired several excellent martial arts masters.
Meng Yunzheng performed poorly in front of Gong Qiu, but secretly he had already learned everything he needed to learn.
He never missed a single day of martial arts training.
Although Qu the bodyguard was quite skilled, he gradually began to find himself outmatched by Meng Yunzheng's attacks. Before long, his knife was knocked away again, and a sword was held against his neck.
The镖师 (bodyguard/escort) was panting heavily, but his face was full of excitement. He cupped his hands to Meng Yunzheng and said, "Young Master Meng, you have excellent skills."
