Chapter 50 Competition

The emperor came down from the tower, bowed and saluted: "My sons and ministers respectfully welcome my mother and queen."

All the officials and female relatives also followed suit and shouted in unison: "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old!"

The Queen Mother was welcomed back to the palace with great fanfare by the Emperor. Zhao Wangshu and the others did not rush back, but wandered on the street.

As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, the city is filled with the fragrance of rice dumplings.

Zhao Wangshu saw rice dumplings being sold on the roadside and walked over to buy them, "Do you want to eat them?"

"Sister Shu, if you buy them for me, I will eat them." Zhao Jiahua laughed. road.

"Okay, how many do you want? I'll pay today and let's celebrate the festival in advance." Zhao Wangshu said generously.

“Thank you, Sister Shu.” Everyone smiled.

Buy a dozen or so rice dumplings, then sit at the tea stall in front and order a pot of tea.

Zhao Wangshu picked up a rice dumpling, peeled off the leaves, revealing the fragrant glutinous rice inside, and took a bite. The texture was glutinous and soft, sweet but not greasy.

"It's delicious. These rice dumplings taste better than those from Da Zhai." Zhao Yuxiu said.

“This is what they sell.” Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

At this time, I heard a tea guest at the table next to me ask: "Would you like to go to Tongfu Inn to watch the fun later?"

"Go, it's a rare sight. How could you not go with the scene?" Another tea guest said with a smile.

After hearing what they said, the girls also became curious and decided to go to Tongfu Inn to watch the fun.

When I arrived at Tongfu Inn, I found that the open space outside the inn was crowded with people.

Zhao Jiahua asked the person next to him, "What's so lively?"

The person said: "In a moment, Wang Cong, the second young master of the Wang Family Martial Arts School, and Fang Sumei, the eldest girl of the Sihai Escort Bureau, Martial arts competition."

"If a man competes with a woman, it would be disgraceful to win, right?" Zhao Yuxiu curled her lips and said.

"Girl, then you have underestimated Miss Fang from the Sihai Escort Agency. Miss Fang is extremely brave and will not be outdone by women. Second Young Master Wang may not win over her." The person next to him interrupted. road.

"Then it's even more inappropriate to compete. If you win, you won't win, and if you lose, you will be embarrassed." Zhao Yuxiu said.

"Second Young Master Wang doesn't want to fight with Miss Fang either, but he has to fight." Someone with knowledge of the situation said.

“Why?” Zhao Yuxiu asked curiously.

"The reason here is simple. The two families are fighting for territory and competing for heroes. Whoever wins will get the territory."

"If you have something to say, why bother using swords and guns? Swords have no eyes. What if you get hurt?" Zhao Shuqing frowned and said with compassion on his face.

The man smiled and said: "Things in the arena should be handled according to the rules of the arena. If you are dead or injured, your skills are inferior to others, and you can't blame others."

"Ah, it was so worrying to watch the martial arts competition at that moment." Zhao Yuxiu said worriedly.

"Girls, don't worry. Both Mr. Wang and Ms. Fang are people of martial virtue. They know how to hit the spot without spilling blood on the ring."

Standing at the back, you couldn't see the ring at all. The nurses pushed forward, and the girls followed behind. When they got to the ring, they saw five chairs placed behind the ring.

A man in navy blue clothing jumped from the second floor of Tongfu Inn onto the ring, causing a burst of cheers from the crowd.

The man clasped his fists and saluted everyone, "Today Wang Cong of the Wang Family Martial Arts School and Fang Sumei of the Sihai Escort Bureau are meeting their friends with martial arts. Please witness Mr. Yin Zhu of the Jingzhao Prefecture, Mr. Zhong Qi of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, and Mr. Qi of the Ministry of War Arsenal. Mr. Wang, a member of the Qing Dynasty Civil Service Department, Wang Biao, the owner of the Wang Family Martial Arts Hall, and Zong Fangzhen of the Sihai Escort Bureau."

Wang Zheng was with Yun Hao that day.

How could he become an official of the Ministry of War if he was not a Long Tingwei?

Moreover, how come people from the government are involved in the civil war for turf?

“Second Young Master Wang must win!” The shout called back Zhao Wangshu’s attention.

The women were not to be outdone: "Miss Fang will win!"

We saw Wang Cong, wearing a green outfit, holding a big knife on the stage, and Fang Sumei wearing a Dressed in red, holding a silver gun.

The weapons of both of them were made of fine iron and sparkled in the sunlight.

As soon as they took the stage, the cheers and cheers around them were deafening.

Zhao Wangshu couldn't help but cover her ears. Although she didn't know the real details of this competition, looking at this posture, it was obviously a fight between a dragon and a tiger, which was very exciting.

The well-dressed man cupped his fists and said: "Use martial arts to make friends, until the point is reached, please."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly stepped back and gave up the place.

"Miss Fang, please." Wang Cong said politely.

He is a man, and his opponent is his daughter’s family, so he must be polite.

“No need to give in, just take action.” Fang Sumei did not accept his kindness.

But Wang Cong was unwilling to take action first, so Fang Sumei could only take the initiative to attack, taking a step forward and stabbing with a spear.Go out and go straight to the door facing Wang Cong.

"Good come." Wang Cong's eyes were firm, and he did not flinch in the face of her attack.

Experts watch the door, while laymen watch the excitement.

Zhao Wangshu couldn’t tell what moves they used, he just felt that the two of them fought beautifully and it was inseparable.

Suddenly, Fang Sumei shouted, her spear jumped up like a dragon and snake, and rushed towards Wang Cong.

This move was as fast as lightning and difficult to parry, but Wang Cong responded calmly and calmly, slashing horizontally with his broadsword and accurately hitting the opponent's spear tip.

Fang Sumei felt the tiger's mouth tremble, and the spear almost came out of her hand. She took two steps back before releasing the force, and her face turned pale.

After all, women’s strength is not as good as that of men. She and Wang Cong were in a head-to-head confrontation, and she was the one who suffered.

If she didn’t change her tactics, she would definitely be defeated. She began to fight in a swimming position instead of going straight in with a spear.

But Wang Cong shouted loudly and struck out with the sword in his hand like thunder, forcing Fang Sumei to hold up a gun and catch him.

The two offensives collided together, and the air waves generated caused everyone around them to feel a strong impact.

Fang Sumei’s spear was instantly shattered by the impact, and she was knocked backwards and fell to the side.

Wang Cong stood still and did not pursue the victory.

Fang Sumei said in frustration: "I lost."

Wang Cong put away his sword, raised his hand to Fang Sumei and said: "I give in."

A middle-aged man came over and announced that this time he would use martial arts to make friends, and the Wang Family Martial Arts School would win.

After the competition was over, the crowd dispersed, and Zhao Wangshu and the others also walked back.

In the afternoon, Zhao Wangshu took a nap. Hong Chang came to her with a cup of tea and said, "Girl, I have something to ask you."

"What do you want to say?" Zhao Wangshu said calmly.

"Girl, can you send your slave to learn martial arts?" Hong Chang asked.

“Who do you want to learn from?” Zhao Wangshu asked with a smile.

"My slave is a woman, so it would be better for me to learn from Miss Fang. But Miss Fang is an escort agency. I'm afraid Miss Fang won't be able to teach this slave. Prince Wang's family owns a martial arts school. If you want to learn, you should be willing to teach."

"Did you think of this yourself, or did someone else analyze it for you?"

Hong Changhan smiled and said: "It's Green Branch. I’m here to help you analyze it.”

“Practicing martial arts is very hard, are you sure you want to practice?”

“I’m not afraid of hardship, slave.You should practice martial arts to protect girls. "Hong Chang always remembered the old lady's instructions.

"If you want to practice martial arts, don't live in a big house. It's inconvenient to get in and out. You can live in Zhou Hai's house. ”

Hong Chang was anxious, “I’m not going to live at Zhou Hai’s house. I’m going to stay with the girl and serve her.” "

"When you have finished practicing martial arts, come back and serve me. "Zhao Wangshu smiled, "How many months do you want to study? "

"One month, I will come back after studying for one month. "

Zhao Wangshu shook his head, "One month is too short. Let's study for half a year. When the time comes, go learn martial arts first. "

Hong Chang said happily: "Thank you, girl. ”

The Wang Family Martial Arts School is related to Yun Hao.
