The next day.
The sky is a little cloudy and the wind is a little cold.
Since the morning, there has been an inexplicable chilling atmosphere in the air.
As we all know, in ancient times, after the autumn harvest, the people were generally relatively free, so...
The day has not yet arrived, and the Hundred Days are already crowded with people.
It has been more than fifty days since Song Xiang set up this arena, and today is the busiest.
Don’t worry, it’s only been a day. The anecdotes about today’s gambling fight have spread throughout Runan City in just one morning; the streets, alleys, teahouses and restaurants, from storytellers The waiters who come to the store, from errands to small gangsters... all of them are chewing on this matter.
Everyone knows that at the end of today, Sun Yixie, who became famous in Luoyang not long ago, will teach Song Xiang, the evil young man in Runan City, a lesson in the Hundred-Day Challenge.
After the common people heard about this, they were so happy; in these years, Song Xiang relied on his family's power to bully men, dominate women, dominate men and women in the city, and did countless things. What a shame, but no one is helping the common people.
There is nothing we can do about it, because bullies with official backgrounds like Song Xiang are usually not managed by people on the Jianghu Road, but by those on the Green Forest Road; however, because his father The masters who came to visit the home to protect the home were so powerful that even a "swordsman" like Zhao Youtao on the Green Forest Road was killed. Therefore, after so many years, no one on the Green Forest Road dared to touch the young master of the Song family... …
If what Song Xiang did goes a little further and really reaches the level of "disaster for the country and the people", it will be easier to deal with. At that time, there will be many green forest masters who are more powerful than Zhao Yuanyou to deal with him. It is a pity that , but he didn’t reach that point.
Until today, everyone has finally waited for it.
Even if Song Xiang doesn’t have any big problems after today’s fight in the ring, as long as they can see him deflated, the people will be happy.
"Coming!"
"Hey, it's coming!"
"Everyone, please give way, the three young heroes are here. !"
As soon as Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji approached the arena on foot, the people cheered.
The crowd not only gave way, but also cheered and encouraged.
"Young Master Sun asked for life for the people, he is truly a hero!"
"Young Young Master Sun stood up for us!"
"Young Young Master Sun, be careful, then Song Xiang is a despicable person, don’t fall victim to his plot!”
In addition to those who praise him, there are also those who warn him and worry about him.
But Sun Yixie just smiled with a smile on his face, did not respond, and walked forward calmly; Lei Buji also followed him happily.
Only Huang Donglai, with empty eyes, complained in his heart: "The people here are really simple and honest. In my opinion, you should remind Song Xiang not to be plotted by Brother Sun..."
In this way, the three of them came to the ring with the support of the crowd.The edge of the stage.
Because the people's voice was so loud, the evil servants of the Song Dynasty could not suppress the voice even if they bared their teeth and claws on the side of the stage.
"Humph..." At this time, Song Xiang could not wait to stand on the stage. Seeing Sun Yixie and the others approaching, he immediately snorted coldly and said loudly, "You really Dare you come?"
"That's right, how can I be afraid of beating a novice like you?" Sun Yi replied with a smile.
After that, he took a few steps forward, waved to the servants of the Song Dynasty who were surrounding the stage, and motioned for them to get out of the way, as if he were driving away flies.
Those people did not dare to stop him, so they could only give up a corner of the ring.
Then, Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji strutted onto the stage from the stairs in the corner of the arena.
When Song Xiang saw the three of them coming up, he also smiled: "Hey, what are you doing? Do you think you can't beat me alone, so you want all three to come up together?"
Sun Yi He said humorously: "Take care of you...I am enough alone. My two brothers are just here to watch the battle." As he said this, he pointed to the platform next to the ring that was at the same height as Lei, where Ma Chun and Zhao Youtao were standing. Where to sit, "You can arrange two seats for them over there."
"Ah?" Hearing this, Song Xiang tilted his cheeks and twisted the corners of his mouth, "Why?"
"Yes." Sun Yixie seemed to have guessed that this guy would respond like this, and immediately said, "Why can your people sit on the stage and watch, but my brother has to stand and watch? Are you doing something shameful on stage, are you afraid of being discovered?"
When he said this, he paused for a moment, and before Song Xiang could reply, he immediately turned to Huang Donglai. : "Hey~ Brother Huang, I think it was a bit strange when the brother was beaten off the stage yesterday. Is there something wrong with it?"
"Isn't that right~" Huang Donglai also looked weird. He continued, "How else could I have kept this stand for more than fifty days?"
The two of them sang and harmonized like this, as if to imply that all the competitions that Song Xiang had done in the past fifty days were all based on It's like he won through some kind of fraudulent means.
The people below came with their own opinions. When they heard this, they immediately booed.
"I'm afraid there's a fraud on this stage!"
"Song, are you cheating because you're afraid of being seen out?"
"What's fair? Fighting? It turns out to be a lie!"
Once this public opinion is raised, the truth is not important.
But there is still something to say here...Song Xiang himself subjectively did not cheat. Even in the fight with Tang Weizhi yesterday, he did not know that Zhao Yuanyou helped him secretly.
Since everyone around him was coaxing Song Xiang, including his two masters and bodyguards, who were also members of the Song family, they had to save face for the young master, so Song Xiang always felt that his His martial arts is really good. What he said yesterday about "his magical skills are unparalleled" was true.Heartfelt.
You may think he is mentally retarded, but if you think about it from his perspective, you will find that this is normal.
In that era when information was limited and communications were underdeveloped, if a person lived in a pampered place since childhood, he would hardly suffer any setbacks, and most of the people around him would only say good things to him and make mistakes. This is what he would do in an environment where someone would help him cover up if he made a mistake or even violated the king's law.
For a child who grew up in the palace, it was natural for him to have someone take care of all his food and daily needs; for a child who grew up begging on the roadside, he went out to beg for food every day and often Starving is a matter of course.
You can tell the children who grew up in the palace that there are people in the world who are still begging for food, or you can tell the beggars that there are people in the world who have clothes to wear and food to open their mouths, but they can only imagine, but they cannot Feel what you hear.
And if no one ever tells them that there are people in the world who are in completely opposite situations to theirs, they are likely to think that such people do not exist.
Song Xiang is a person who is used to the "giant baby environment", so his understanding is different from most people.
If he was really self-aware, he would not be able to stage any "hundred-day challenge". He would have gone back to practice hard and try to catch up with a second-rater like Master Ma Chu first...
< p>"You fart!" Sure enough, after being set up by Sun and Huang, Song Xiang immediately jumped up in anger.He Song Bully usually does a lot of evil, and he is not afraid of being accused, but he can't bear to be wronged.
You want to say that he beat people to death and raped women. He admits it, but he is not responsible. In other words, "responsible" in his perception means being scolded by his own father. , and then his father sent people to threaten others, bribe the government, and pay some money...
But if you want to unjustly accuse him of cheating, he feels aggrieved, because he really doesn't have it.
"Okay! Bring them two stools! You want to see, right? Let you see enough!" After Song Xiang finished scolding, he immediately ordered the servants to move the stools.
Those evil slaves in the Song Mansion were quite efficient. It didn't take long before they "borrowed" two stools from a nearby teahouse and placed them on the empty seats next to Ma Chu and Zhao Tuotao.
Huang Donglai and Lei Buji said hello to Sun Yixie and sat down.
What are they doing? To put it bluntly... this is to prevent yesterday's scene from happening again.
Ma Chuan and Zhao Yuanyou also know what they mean - so close to you, Young Master Huangmen and Young Master Lei are sitting. If you two continue to do those little tricks, it will be hard to hear if word gets out. .
"Two seniors, what happened yesterday? I couldn't come up to say hello to you. I'm so rude. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." When Huang Donglai sat down, he was very polite and laughed with Ma Zhaoer. People started chatting
Lei Buji also imitated Brother Huang, cupping his fists and handing over his hands to the two people.
As the saying goesReaching out to avoid hitting the smiling man, Ma Chuan and Zhao Yuanyou looked at each other, and after thinking about it, they felt that they couldn't be at odds with these two juniors.
So, both of them returned the gift more politely.
"Young Master Huang, there is no need to be polite. Zhao is just a paid bodyguard on Route 13, and he cannot be considered your senior." Zhao Yuan said.
"Yes, Huang Shaoxia, Lei Shaoxia, and Sun Shaoxia are all young knights who have become famous recently. When compared with you, Ma will feel inferior." Ma Zhu also agreed. road.
Both of them kept their stature relatively low, both inside and outside their words. Of course, this is what they should do.
For people like them who are relatively capable in the world, it is not very honorable to work for a wealthy family, but it is not harmful to the world...
< p> "You two seniors are too humble." Huang Donglai listened to the other party's words, but still praised him, "The names of 'Yanhui Yizhu' and 'Shadowless Sword' still carry a lot of weight when spoken out. They are not juniors like us. Comparable."What he said was also telling these two people that after this day, I have already obtained information about you two in the city.
Ma Chu and Zhao Yuanyou were not surprised by this. Their affairs in the Song Mansion were not a secret, and many people in the city knew about them.
"No, no, in front of the 'Three Wonders of the Yellow Sect', our little tricks... can only be regarded as trivial." Ma Chu said again.
He also had something to say, and the general meaning was - I know Mr. Huang, you are good at playing poison, and you don’t have to pretend to be a grandson with me. Since everyone is capable, it’s best not to The situation is tense.
On their side, they were dealing with each other openly and covertly, while the two on the stage were doing it openly.
"Have you brought three thousand taels with you today?" Sun Yixie asked.
"Huh... isn't it just three thousand taels?" Song Xiang was waiting for him to ask this, "Here, bring it up."
Before he finished speaking, he had already Several servants who were waiting for this order came up carrying a small box.
The box was placed on the ground, and when it was opened, it was revealed that it was all white and filled with silver. Counting the box itself, it weighed at least one person.
The people in the audience were all stunned. Ordinary people would never see such money in their lives. Many people couldn't help but exclaimed.
Song Xiang was quite impressed by the people's reaction. He looked proud and said, "Where's yours?"
Sun Yixie didn't panic. He took out a few banknotes from his arms. These were the remaining portion of the "six thousand taels of mother's love" that he carried with him when he came out of Hangzhou, which happened to be three thousand taels.
"Do you want someone to take it to the bank account for verification?" Sun Yixie held the banknote between his fingers and shook it gently.
"That's not necessary." Song Xiang really doesn't care about this very much. He wants to fight Sun Yixie today mainly for the sake of face. Money is just a concept to him.Already, not important.
"Okay." Sun Yixie said, took a few steps forward, put his few banknotes into the silver box, and then closed the box smoothly.
After he finished doing this, Song Xiang winked at the servants and asked them to take the box to the place next to the ring where the silver reward was originally placed, and show it to the public.
Sun Yixie walked back to one side of the ring and said, "The bet is fine. Let's talk about the rules."
"Rules?" Song Xiang He asked suspiciously, "What are the rules?"
"Don't you have to explain the rules clearly when you fight?" Sun Yixie said, "Besides falling out of the ring and losing, what else can you do? We have to make it clear in advance what we can’t do, otherwise what if someone cheats on us after the fight?”
“Huh…” Song Xiang sneered, “I’ve been fighting here for more than fifty days, and yet I still can’t do it. No one is as particular as you."
"So you are a layman," said Sun Yixie, "If you don't explain the rules clearly, if someone punches you in the butt or kicks you in the crotch, I've crippled you, what do you say?"
Song Xiang really never thought about this... After being reminded like this by Sun Yixie, Song Xiang suddenly felt a little scared.
"Uh...then no eye-piercing or kicking in the crotch, anything else is fine." Song Xiang continued. < /p>
"I can't, I can't." Song Xiang had never learned weapons, let alone any hidden weapons, so he would not agree, so he immediately denied it impatiently.
"The last question." Sun Yi joked at this point, paused for a moment, and then said, "A knight like me would not do anything like hurting people's lives in the ring. ...But my fists and feet have no eyes. What if I hurt you today... After ten days and a half, you become more and more angry at home. You spit out a mouthful of old blood and are so angry that you can't be held accountable to me. "Really?"
"Bah!" Song Xiang scolded, "You still want to hurt your Grandpa Song? Don't worry, no matter what happens on stage, I won't do it after you get off stage." I have no responsibility at all. To tell you the truth... As of today, I have beaten several people to death on this stage. One more of you is not more, and one less of you is not more... Humph, if you are sensible, kneel down right now. If you kowtow to grandpa three times, admit your mistake, and keep the money, I can let you go, otherwise... you can't even think of leaving today!"
