Chapter 26: Martial Arts Competition
Tu Si couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, "Boy, it's too early to brag, you're the one who's embarrassed."
You Dazui touched his face and said, "Why do I feel like she is the one standing on the stage, and I am the one who is embarrassed?"
"That means you and Shan Paoer share the same honor and disgrace." Yang Bang said.
You Dazui said, "It's fine for honor, but as for humiliation... let's not do it."
But in fact, Chen Yu did not brag. When she said she had some knowledge, it was really just some knowledge.
She has been following Shen Zhongan since she was a child. The generals in the army are all proficient in different weapons, and she is an unstoppable person who wants to try everything.
In the past, Shen Zhongan said that she had an unstable temper, but she argued that if she didn't try them one by one, how could she know which weapon was suitable for her.
Chang Heng and Han Jiwu were discussing important matters with Xie Tingzhou in the tiger tent.
There was a stove burning in the tent, which made people drowsy, but the atmosphere in the tent was quite solemn.
Yesterday, the imperial edict from Shengjing arrived at Yanliang Pass. His Majesty praised the Beilin Qingyun Guard and ordered the Crown Prince Xie Tingzhou to escort the criminal to the capital as soon as possible.
Han Jiwu's face was heavy: "The old emperor must have become suspicious. I'm afraid that what awaits us is not good news since he summoned Your Highness to the capital this time."
Xie Tingzhou leaned back in his chair, lost in thought, "First, they eliminated Shen Zhongan, and then dragged Beilin into the water. The person who could set up such a plan must be a powerful person. Now that Shengjing is in the hands of the four great families, they are just those people."
A big tree attracts the wind, and everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches its extreme. In ancient times, emperors were most afraid of local kings who had their own armies and were powerful.
The battle of Xie Tingzhou five years ago made the emperor see the power of Beilin.
Beilin was too strong, which made Li, who sat on the throne, feel uneasy.
Therefore, Xie Tingzhou chose to retreat at that time. In the past few years, Beilin kept a low profile and remained patient, so that it could reach a relative balance with Shengjing.
But this balance was broken at Yanliang Pass.
At that time, Yanliang Pass was in danger, and Xie Tingzhou had only two choices.
Either give up Yanliang Pass and continue to hide your strength to seek stability, or send troops to rescue Yanliang Pass.
There was no need to think too much about Xie Tingzhou's final choice. He chose to save millions of people, but pushed Beilin into a dangerous situation.
Chang Heng pondered and said:
"Could it be related to the Shen family?"
"Probably not," Han Jiwu shook his head and said, "Shen Zhongan never asked Beilin for help from beginning to end."
"But his father-in-law's family raised grain in a big way, so it's hard for us not to know. Isn't this just another way of telling us that Yanliang Pass is in trouble? Besides, the final result is here, so we're here."
The two of them couldn't agree on a conclusion. Xie Tingzhou said, "The final result was that Shen Zhongan died in the battle. He was also involved in the situation."
There was someone outside the tent asking to see Chang Heng.
Chang Heng went out for a while and came back to ask for leave from Xie Tingzhou, "Your Highness, something happened at the training ground. I have to go take a look."
"What's wrong?" Xie Tingzhou asked.
Chang Heng said, "Two people from my camp, Tu Si and Shi Yu, have been called to the board to compete in the training ground. I have to go over to take a look, lest Tu Si strikes too hard and injures anyone. I quite like Shi Yu."
Xie Tingzhou smiled faintly, "You should go and remind Shi Yu not to be too harsh."
Chang Heng disagreed.
Tu Si is a capable general under his command, who can fight against a hundred people alone on the battlefield. Although Shi Yu is strong, he cannot get the upper hand at Tu Si's hands.
Xie Tingzhou snorted, "Don't believe it?"
He put down the teacup and stood up, "Go and have a look."
On the ring, Tu Si has already chosen his weapon.
He was originally good at using a sword, and was a top-notch swordsman in the army. However, it was not necessarily glorious to win with what he was best at. He would only appear more powerful if he won with other weapons.
Tu Si didn't take the thin Shi Yu seriously at all. He turned the spear in his hand, a silver light flashed in the air, and the spear handle hit the ground with a "dong".
There was an immediate cheer from the audience; just looking at the starting gesture it was not simple.
Tu Si felt a little proud in his heart. The spear was his second best weapon. Was he afraid that he couldn't defeat a mere Shi Yu?
"Have you chosen?" Tu Si asked, "Where is your weapon?"
Chen Yu glanced around, walked slowly to the weapon rack, and her fingertips passed across the weapon rack and stopped on a white wax pole.
"This is it." She casually pulled out a stick of white wax.
Tu Si looked unhappy and the audience was talking about it.
The ash pole is made of ash wood, which is as white as jade, strong but not hard, and soft but not broken.
It is a good material for making rifles.
He chose a spear, but this kid chose a bare ash stick without a spear head. Isn't this an humiliation to him?
"Are you sure you have made your choice?" Tu Si said solemnly, "Swords have no eyes, so don't blame me for being too harsh when the time comes."
"I'll return this to you exactly as it was."
As soon as the voice fell, Shen Yu shook the white wax stick, a gust of wind came, and the white wax stick drew a residual shadow in the air.
This move was so powerful that Tu Si didn't dare to take it head-on and quickly retreated to the side.
Just as the ash rod was about to hit the ground, the young man moved closer, slid his palm from the tail of the gun to the tip of the gun, and fired a gun flower with his backhand.
Tu Si's pupils shrank slightly, and a few words flashed through his mind: Underestimating the enemy.
The spear and the ash stick collided in the air, causing Tu Si's arm to go numb.
Tu Siren was tall and strong, and his men were as powerful as Shi Yu. Logically, Shi Yu would not be much immune to this attack, but he was wrong.
Because he saw that when the weapons collided, the white wax stick in the young man's hand slipped out of his hand. Without the control of the force, the collision caused the white wax stick to soar into the sky, and after rolling several times in the air, the force had been released.
The young man caught the ash stick with his hand, turned around with a light tap of his toes and struck again.
There was a burst of applause from the audience.
Before Tu Si could recover from the shock and numbness, the second blow came.
Tu Si didn't dare to take it head-on this time. He dodged sideways and stabbed straight ahead with his spear.
Both of them attacked quickly, one was strong and the other was flexible.
You Dazui's mouth has never closed since the start of the competition. He stared at Shi Yu on the field in amazement.
Although he couldn't understand the moves, he could tell that Shi Yu clearly had the upper hand, his steps were nimble, his body was agile, and the sounds of the spear and the ash stick hitting each other were crackling.
"Pinch me." said You Dazui.
Yang Bang was so engrossed in watching that he ignored him.
You Dazui reached out and pinched his arm.
"Ah——" Yang Bang exclaimed, "Why are you pinching me?"
"I'm not dreaming." You Dazui said, "Is this really a country boy?"
"Is this really the mountain boy?!" You Dazui asked again, and excitedly put his arm around Yang Bang's shoulders, "Is this really the mountain boy we know!"
