My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 410 Imperial Martial Arts Conference
Luoyang.

As the end of the year approaches, the number of people rushing to the city to pick up goods has gradually increased in recent days.

Because of the control of materials, ordinary people cannot purchase a large amount of materials at once, but there are exceptions.

For example, various aristocratic families send people to lead teams into the mountains to hunt, and this part of meat can be purchased at will, and the price is fair.

In this era, wild animals in the mountains are natural disasters, and they have to be cleaned up almost once or twice a year.

The big monsters in the myths that do harm to the world are basically written based on them, which shows how much the ancients hated them.

So, don't talk about wild animal protection laws. If you protect them, caravans will not be able to leave, and farmland will be arched by pigs.

White Horse Temple, the largest trading market in Luoyang.

Several hunters walked in with a big colorful tiger on their shoulders, when they were sold away by traders who had been waiting for a long time.

With the copper coins and food stamps in hand, I went to buy a large amount of food, mainly potatoes, followed by sweet potatoes and corn.

To purchase materials, you need to show the famous thorny bamboo card, and the goods are picked by head. If you buy goods in large quantities, you must have a document stamped by the county master.

These hunters obviously came on behalf of hundreds of people in the village, pulling a donkey cart full of loads.

"Brother, buy some red-headed strings for my sister-in-law and younger sister."

The leader Orion tightened his wallet tightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Buy a piece of red cloth, just cut it and divide it later. The red-headed rope is too expensive, enough to buy a few catties of oil."

The others looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

It’s really not worth it. A red-headed rope costs five yuan, while a foot of red fabric, plus the cloth ticket, costs only 21 yuan. Cutting it can yield dozens of red ropes. Although it is not durable, as long as it is wrapped with rattan, Not on the line.

Several people pulled the donkey cart and rushed to Buzhuang again.

The leader of the Orion ordered his brothers to guard the donkey cart, and went in to buy a foot of red cloth by himself.

The end of the year is approaching, and the cloth shop is also crowded with people. After finally squeezing to the front row, I found that there are very few cloths on the cabinet.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze forward, the next batch of fabrics will have to wait for three days, and now there are only white and black cloths, those who want to move forward, and everyone else will give way." The shopkeeper shouted loudly.

There were sighs from the crowd, and the Orion frowned slightly, and could only walk back helplessly.

But at this moment, a woman's headband caught his attention, and the man hurried forward to stop the woman.

"Madam, I'm sorry, may I ask where you bought this hair rope?"

The woman was a little annoyed at first, but when the man asked her about the hair rope, she immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Hehe, brother, you have a good eye, isn't this hair rope beautiful? I bought it from Wei's grocery store. It only costs three yuan for a small bag. It contains Ten."

"so cheap?"

The woman nodded and said: "It's so cheap, and this is not a rope, it's called a rubber band, and it works for tying your hair."

The man muttered 'rubber band' and hurriedly saluted the woman with his fists in the palm of his hand.

He ran to the door, greeted his brothers and said, "Let's go to Wei's Grocery Store."

When the brothers saw that his hands were empty, they all asked curiously, "Brother, where's the cloth?"

The man had no choice but to explain to them, and when they learned that there were cheap hair ropes for sale in the grocery store, everyone stepped up.

Unexpectedly, I finally rushed to the grocery store, only to find that the place was already overcrowded.

Wei's shop is different from other shops. Shopping here requires a queue, so although there are many people, it is still orderly in chaos.

Knowing that there is a queue, the man turned his head and said, "Why don't you go back first, and I will queue up alone. I just bought a hair rope and rushed back overnight."

The men looked at each other in blank dismay, they were suddenly not in a hurry to go back, they all wanted to go in and see what this grocery store was selling?
How can there be so many people queuing at the door?
Just when everyone was hesitating.

Boom boom boom!
A team carrying a big red flag came along the street, and the leading scribe beat the gong three times.

Loudly shouted: "The first Imperial Martial Arts Conference has signed up for the competition. The prizes are generous, including sewing machines, bicycles, sweat-blooded BMWs, and hundreds of various magical weapons. Those who enter the top [-] will also have some consolation prizes and food coupons." Ten tickets of various kinds, such as cloth tickets, pastry tickets, etc."

Boom boom boom!
"The first Imperial Martial Arts Conference has signed up for the competition. The prizes are rich, including sewing machines, bicycles, sweat-blooded BMWs, and hundreds of various magic weapons. Those who enter the top [-] will also have several consolation prizes, food stamps, cloth tickets, Ten tickets of various types such as pastry tickets."

The long queue who was queuing at the door of the grocery store suddenly started talking, and they were very interested in this kind of martial arts conference.

The hunters at the back of the line also opened their eyes wide.

"Brother, hurry up and sign up. With your physique, not to mention the top ten, there will always be no problem getting into the top [-]."

"That's right, Brother Niu, you must sign up, maybe you will be spotted by the Longshan Army and recruit you in."

The middle-aged driver who was driving the donkey cart also stepped forward and said, "Niu Jin, this is a good opportunity for you to get ahead."

Niu Jin looked at the coachman, hesitant.

The coachman said again: "Silly boy, what are you trying to do, a real man should make meritorious deeds, and you spend all your time fighting against wild beasts in the mountains and forests, and you will be an inferior person all your life. Don't you want your two children to live a different life with you?" Good day?"

Niu Jin froze for a moment, thinking of the young children at home, and looking at the well-dressed children on the street, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Yes, this is a good opportunity to change your destiny!
Niu Jin clenched his fists, raised his head and bowed to the coachman, and said, "Second Uncle, I'll sign up right away. Second Uncle will take care of him, especially the food on the cart. Don't lose anything."

The driver laughed loudly, sat cross-legged on the shaft of the car, and said in a loud voice: "When I, Niu Erer, killed the enemy on the battlefield, you were not even born yet. Go ahead. I will watch over here. No one dares to come here .”

Niu Jin smiled awkwardly, clasped his hands together and saluted the brothers, and then rushed to the guard.

···
Chengbei post house.

From a long distance, I saw two young people fighting with long sticks in the yard.

The sound of 'bang bang bang' caused the horses on the side to neigh uneasy.

The onlookers shouted wonderfully one by one.

"This Zhao Zihu is worthy of being the god of war. He actually smashed such a thick horse pole with a single stick. If that stick hits a person, he will probably be gutted."

"The hero who can fight against him without losing the wind is also amazing. Speaking of such a powerful character, why haven't I heard of him before?"

"Haha, you don't know that, this person is my hero from Liangzhou, former hussar general Zhang Jicongzi!"

Several Liangzhou merchants looked proud.

It's no wonder they are like this. You must know that the person who fought Zhang Xiu was Zhao Zihu, the famous Flying General and God of War.

While speaking, Zhao Feng on the field suddenly took a step back, put away his long stick, and stood there.

"Okay, let's stop fighting. The senior brother is indeed a senior senior brother, and the younger brother is willing to bow down."

On the other side, Zhang Xiu also took two steps back, and said out of breath, "My boy, I haven't seen you for a few years, and your marksmanship seems to have improved again. I'm afraid the master will do his best when he faces you."

Zhao Feng was also out of breath, shaking his head and smiling bitterly, "Master said I'm still far behind. In terms of martial arts talent, you and Zilong are far superior to me."

Zhang Xiu was stunned, and glanced at the [Flying General] gold medal on Zhao Feng's waist.

Shaking his head, he said, "It's a pity that martial art is not military art, and personal force has little effect on the battlefield."

Zhao Feng frowned slightly, feeling that Zhang Xiu had been hit by something.

At this time, a beautiful woman came over from the gate of the post house, and said with a smile: "Okay, Xiu'er, why don't you invite this general to come in and rest, there are so many people here."

There was another whisper from the crowd, and this time the target was obviously that beautiful woman.

Zhang Xiu heard a few obscenities from the crowd, and immediately shouted coldly: "Keep your mouths clean!"

The beautiful woman didn't take it seriously, she seemed to be used to it, she just watched Zhang Xiu slap those foul-mouthed people away with relief.

Zhao Feng also frowned, looking at those people with a fierce look on his face.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman hurried forward and said, "I made General Zhao laugh. Don't worry about being a little tongue-tied. General, come in and sit down for a while. I've ordered people to warm up the wine, so I don't care about these people."

Zhao Feng saw that she had said that, so he gave up, and respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

The beautiful woman smiled gently, stepped forward to pull Zhang Xiu, frowned and said: "Xiu'er, don't make trouble outside."

Zhang Xiu glared angrily at those people before giving up.

The three of them came to a small courtyard. The post house in the north of the city is not small, so naturally there is an independent small courtyard for distinguished guests to stay.

After sitting down.

Zhao Feng looked around and asked in confusion, "Brother, why don't you see General Zhang?"

At this time, both the beautiful woman and Zhang Xiu's eyes darkened.

Zhang Xiu drank a glass of wine and said desolately: "When my uncle entered the city, he was taken away by Lu Bu's people. He was originally Dong Zhuo's former subordinate. After Dong thief died, he fled back to his hometown in Liangzhou. He wanted to hide his name, but I don't want to meet Lu Bu."

Zhao Feng frowned slightly, looked at the beautiful woman with lowered eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Jun once said that those who surrender will not be killed. Although General Zhang has gone astray, he is not guilty of death. Senior brother, don't worry, I'll go see Mr. Wei when I turn around."

Zhang Xiu and the beautiful woman were overjoyed when they heard this.

actually.This time when they came to Beijing, Zhang Xiu brought his aunt to intercede when he learned that his master Tong Yuan is now the chief coach of Wei's Dingjunfang, and that his former fellow apprentice is also one of Wei Jun's war gods.

Unexpectedly, before they spoke, Zhao Feng brought it up by himself.

That's right, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yun brothers are loyal people, Zhang Xiu thought so in his heart, raised his wine glass gratefully, "Zihu, I would like to toast you a glass."

Zhao Feng laughed, and said: "One cup is not enough, today we two brothers, if we are not drunk, we will not go home."

"Yes, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" Zhang Xiu also laughed.

Zhang Zoushi next to him also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Then you guys drink first, and I'll make some appetizers."

Three rounds of wine.

Zhao Feng said: "Eldest brother, the opportunity is rare right now. With your strength, reaching the final is not a problem. If you can enter the top [-], you can directly join the Longshan Army and the Tiger Soul Army. At that time, you and my brother will be able to fight together. served the country."

Zhang Xiu is worthy of being a martial arts practitioner, and he can't drink normally. At this time, his mind is very clear. Hearing the martial arts conference, he was equally moved.

But he is also a proud and arrogant person, he took a sip of his wine and said in a deep voice: "What if I come out on top?"

Zhao Feng was stunned when he heard the words, and said with a wry smile: "Eldest brother, don't mind if you say something harsh, this martial arts conference, our army has already had a rough ranking, and this ranking is even recognized by the master and the elderly."

"Oh?" Zhang Xiu frowned slightly.

Zhao Feng put down his wine glass, dipped his finger in some wine, and started writing on the table.

While writing, he said: "This famous person is none other than the general of the Tiger Soul Army, the unparalleled war god Lu Fengxian."

When Zhang Xiu heard Lv Bu's name, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and snorted coldly at the same time.

Zhao Feng shook his head and continued to write: "No. 2 is hard to say, but there are three people who are recognized as people who are second only to Lu Bu in military strength, namely, the commander-in-chief of our Longshan Army, Xu Gongming, the god of war in the blood prison; Wei, Xu Chu, and Jingnan's famous general Guan Yunchang, but Guan Yunchang probably won't be able to come back this time, so No.2 should be one of these three."

Zhang Xiu said unconvinced: "If you haven't fought once, how do you know they are the second?"

At this time, he didn't want to fight for the first place. In fact, he also knew in his heart that he couldn't beat Lu Bu, and that guy was not human at all.

However, just because Lu Bu can't beat others doesn't mean he can't beat others.

Seeing this, Zhao Feng smiled wryly, and explained: "Eldest brother, don't be convinced, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I can't even get past fifty moves in front of Mr. Xu. His Pangu ax is powerful and heavy. Having master's personal guidance, you should not underestimate it."

After all, Zhao Feng was a member of the Longshan Army and one of the Temple of War. He had no fewer than a hundred matches with Xu Huang, but he lost all of them.

Although Zhang Xiu was strong, he was not much stronger than Zhao Feng. Hearing this, his face darkened and he became depressed.

After drinking two glasses of wine, he looked at the names of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and sighed: "According to what you said, wouldn't the first four be rounded up by your own people?"

Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu occupied the top four at once. Zhao Feng looked down and smiled wryly.

However, he continued: "Brother, I'm afraid the top ten are all rounded up."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but frowned, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Feng didn't hide it deliberately, and wrote the names of more than a dozen people on the table.

"Huang Zhong, the god of war who shoots the sun, is not only amazing in archery, but also in swordsmanship. The sky gold red blood knife in his hand is one of the 72 earth evil weapons. With his arm strength not weaker than Lu Bu, he can split mountains. crack rock."

"Flood Carp, God of War in the Jiaohai Sea, is born with infinite strength and is good at wielding a purple gold mace. I have fought against him, and the outcome was evenly divided."

"Ruiyong God of War Zhang Liao, his weapon is a yellow dragon hook and sickle. Few people know how to use this kind of knife, but he is as good as his arms."

"Others, as well as my Longshan Army Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Tiger Soul Army Gao Shun, City Guard Army Le Jin, and Zhou Tai, are all masters of one another."

"Not to mention other forces, such as: Zhang Yun, Ju Yi, Ji Ling of the Yuan family, Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan under Cao Cao's command, these people will not be absent, and it will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers."

Seeing that Zhang Xiu's complexion became more and more ugly, Zhao Feng smiled wryly and said, "Also, senior brother may have forgotten one thing. Although I am not as good as you in stick skills, I am good at marksmanship, and I will definitely use Wei The gentian bright silver spear bestowed by you is for the competition."
