Chapter 297 Why Can a Pretty Boy Marry a Beautiful Wife?
Xiao Xuance stepped forward and put his hand on his younger brother's shoulder, "Xiao Wu, you watch and study from the side."
His opponent's arms were covered in scars, he was a veteran of countless battles, his moves were skillful, and he was all muscle. Xiao Xuanwu might not be his match.
"You've made your choice, right? Let's begin."
Xiao Xuance and the rough man stood facing each other, while the people around them formed a circle to watch the show.
"My surname is Xiao. May I ask your name, sir?"
"My surname is Guo and my given name is Ba."
The exiled group consisted of cultured people who were very particular about naming their children, usually following generational naming conventions. When they heard someone's name was so casual, they teased, "Guoba? Someone actually has that name, hahaha."
"Then why don't you call yourself a turtle?"
Hearing their mockery, Guo Ba's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He pointed at them and roared, "What are you laughing at? Laugh your ass! My surname is Guo, and I'm the eighth in my family, so I'm called Guo Ba. What's wrong with that?"
When his brothers heard that their brother was being ridiculed, they rushed over, grabbed the collars of those who were mocking the most, and slammed them to the ground.
He lifted his foot and stomped on the person, saying, "Laugh! If you dare laugh again, I'll stomp your intestines out."
The people being trampled underfoot begged for mercy, "Ah! We won't do it again, please let us go."
The others dared not approach and kept their distance.
Guo Ba pointed at Xiao Xuance, his eyes blazing with anger. He tilted his head and nodded through gritted teeth, "Fine, you brat, you deliberately asked my name just to make people laugh at me, right? I'll beat you down and turn you into a turtle in a minute."
Xiao Xuanwu thought he was too arrogant and retorted, "How can you be like this? There's a reason for every wrong, and a debtor for every debt. It's not like my third brother is mocking you. It's not certain who will beat whom."
The men from the conscripted soldiers urged, "Eighth Brother, stop wasting time talking to them, hurry up and kill that brat to avenge Zhang Shan."
"good."
Guo Ba threw a punch straight at the face, his arm muscles bulging, the force of the blow fierce.
Some of the more timid people around were terrified and closed their eyes, too scared to watch.
Xiao Xuance dodged to the side but did not retaliate; the fist grazed his face.
Guo Bayi missed his first strike, then swept his lower body with his right leg like an iron pillar.
He easily leaped into the air and retreated.
Guo Ba felt that his opponent was only defending and not attacking, which made him look down on him. He was completely enraged and roared, throwing punches with both hands in turn, aiming straight for his face.
With no way to avoid it, Xiao Xuance finally fought back, clenching his fists and blocking Xiao Xuance's arm.
When his other punch came at him, he parried it again.
The two were evenly matched in strength. Guo Ba was stunned for a moment, not expecting that his opponent, who looked thin, was so strong, even stronger than him.
Both of them stopped at the same time.
As soon as the two men stopped throwing punches, Guo Ba threw another one.
Xiao Xuance grabbed his fist and threw a punch at the same time, while Guo Ba also held down his wrist.
The two men's arms suddenly became locked together, and Guo Ba tried to break free by smashing his head against the man's neck.
Xiao Xuance used the momentum to spin around and dissipate the force of the turn, and the two switched positions.
Guo Ba raised his knee and slammed it into his abdomen.
He raised his leg to suppress it.
"Ah!" Guo Ba roared, his sweeping leg kick kicking up dust. This was one of his signature moves, and no one could dodge it.
This is why the brothers all recommended him to compete; if he defeated Xiao Xuance, no one else would need to compete.
They didn't use their numbers to bully the weak, making them accept their defeat wholeheartedly.
However, the moment Xiao Xuance swept his leg, he suddenly leaped up, precisely stomped on the root of the man's thigh with one foot, and touched the back of the man's knee with his toe. Using the momentum, he kicked the man hard in the chest.
"Bang!"
That wasn't all; another kick landed on his head, "Bang!"
"Pfft!" Blood mixed with two old, yellow teeth spurted out.
Guo Ba was kicked several meters away and fell heavily to the ground. He groaned as he fell, and a metallic taste rose in his throat, but he swallowed it back for the sake of his pride.
"Old Eight..." His brothers rushed forward and helped him up.
He stared intently at Xiao Xuance and cursed fiercely, "Damn it, he looks like a pretty boy, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful. Even the Eighth Prince can't beat him."
"Let me have a go at him!"
"Little Liu, you're no match for him, don't go." The impulsive Little Liu had already raised his hoe and rushed over, but hadn't even touched the hem of Xiao Xuance's clothes.
Xiao Xuanwu rushed over with a hoe.
The two hoes clashed, and the blades fell to the ground with a 'clatter,' leaving only the wooden sticks.
The two exchanged a couple more blows with wooden sticks.
Xiao Xuanwu found the wooden stick more convenient than the hoe.
The wooden stick seemed to transform into a spear in his hands. In just a few moves, he knocked the stick out of Xiao Liu Zi's hand, who only knew spur-of-the-moment techniques. Finally, he swept the stick across Xiao Liu Zi's abdomen with a slash, "Bang!"
Xiao Liu was also thrown to their feet, "Ouch..."
The people opposite were scrambling to get a turn, but a middle-aged man with a scar on his face spread his arms to block the others, and stepped forward, saying, "Let me do it this time."
He said to Xiao Xuanwu, "Little brat, I'm not fighting you. I'm fighting that pretty boy behind you. Get out of my way."
"Shut up! Who are you calling a gigolo? My third brother, he..."
Xiao Xuance interrupted him, saying, "Xiao Wu, go and guard Mother and the others."
He asked the people opposite him, "You know Zhang Shan, what is your relationship with him? I didn't kill him, you've got the wrong person."
Furthermore, I said during the first match that if I won, I wouldn't pursue the matter further; a man's word is his bond.
As Meng Dahu spoke, the scars on his face were revealed, making his expression even more ferocious. "Did we agree? Who agreed? Ask them if they agreed or not." His gaze swept over Old Liu and the others who were waiting to watch the show.
Old Liu said, "We didn't agree to that. We just fought them off. If they died, we dragged them away and buried them. If they were alive, we kept working."
Ms. Yang was worried about her son; what if he got hurt if he kept fighting like this?
Yun Zhaoxue walked to her side and asked, "What happened to Mother?"
"Xue'er, what brings you here? The sun is so bright outside, you should go back inside."
The people here are not good people. The officers and soldiers treat human life like dirt, and the conscripts will definitely draw blood when they beat people. Their methods are cruel.
"It's alright, I'm holding an umbrella, so you won't get sunburned. I was worried you wouldn't be used to the food at the city defense camp, so I specially made some food for you." Yun Zhaoxue put down two food boxes, and Xian'er beside her was also carrying a small food box.
Meng Dahu and his men, who were filled with righteous indignation and ready to fight Xiao Xuance to the death, stared in disbelief.
Standing in the field dressed in a plain blue outfit, he seemed to be the only color in this gray world.
"What a beautiful woman."
Xiao Xuance took a step to the side, blocking their view, "Watch your eyes!"
Someone retorted, "She's pretty, what's wrong with taking a second look? Is that a problem? Who are you to talk to her like that!"
"She's my wife! Keep your eyes shut."
He doesn't care how much people laugh at him, but he mustn't covet his wife.
Guo Ba sat up from his brothers' arms, looking indignant. "What? She's your wife? What kind of luck did you get to marry such a beautiful woman? It's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung."
"So what? If you're so capable, come and dig it up."
This pretty boy is incredibly lucky. He's good-looking, skilled in martial arts, and has such a beautiful wife.
Jealousy made them ugly, and it made them even more eager to kill Xiao Xuance.
"Don't think that just because you have a beautiful wife you can skip the beating. We're all lined up to kill you!"
The others pointed at him and threatened, "That's right, we'll kill you!"
Kill the pretty boy, and the beauty will be theirs.
