Chapter 14 Excuse me

It was drizzling, and the person who did not bring an umbrella was soaked that it was half wet.

Seeing that there were two people who wanted to compete for gambling, more people were attracted, so the strong man set up a street stall and there were more and more people around him, which was much more lively than when he was playing tricks alone before.

There are also idle people who seized this gimmick and started a bet on the sidelines.

Xue Chongxun handed the umbrella in his hand to Sanniang, picked up the wooden stick and walked into the scene, clasped his fists and said: My surname is Xue. Since we are competing, please ask for the name of the hero.

The strong man also clasped his fists and said politely: The surname Caomin is Bao, and the single name is the word Cheng.

Xue Chongxun lifted his robe, raised the wooden stick with both hands, and said: Let's do it.

At first glance, experts can tell that his posture is like a horizontal knife.

The horizontal knife is a two-handed knife, which emphasizes one's attacks are fierce, but its defense is not very strict.

Seeing this, Bao Cheng was not polite and shouted loudly, "Off" and immediately picked up the wooden stick, and his strong and tall body rushed towards Xue Chongxun like a bull.

Bang!Xue Chongxun made a move and suddenly felt that the tiger's mouth was numb. His hands were in pain, and the wooden stick in his hand almost broke out.This strong man is really good.

Bao Cheng shouted loudly on the ground, and kept slashing at Xue Chongxun with another stick. The momentum was like the power of opening a mountain.

Xue Chong originally trained his sword skills, but judging by this momentum, he didn't have the confidence to fight hard, so he had to jump back and avoid his offensive.

Bao Cheng immediately posted it up, his pace was not very particular, but every move was straightforward and straight, which was a practical method in the battle formation.

Height does give people a psychological pressure. Bao Cheng, who Xue Chongxun faced, was a strong man nine feet tall. He felt like a mountain was standing in front of him, and it felt very difficult to attack him up.

The two of them attacked and defended, and Xue Chongxun was forced to retreat step by step, and the onlookers shouted loudly. OK!

The situation seemed to be a one-sided situation, but among the people present, at least Bao Cheng himself and Sanniang, who was watching on the side, knew that at most it would be a draw.

Because Bao Cheng didn't even touch Xue Chongxun's clothes.

Xue Chongxun has been retreating, but he retreated calmly, and his steps under his feet are also following the rules and regulations, without any flaws. Every time Bao Cheng attacked the wooden stick, it was one and a half inches away.

The bows, horses, swords and swords he learned since childhood were taught by some famous teachers. They not only pay attention to practicality, but also to be demeanor.

At this time, when the match was against him, he saw his robe flying and his sleeves dancing. Compared with the strong man who was blindly attacking, Xue Chongxun exuded a clear elegance.

After wandering around the circle twice, Bao Cheng got a little breathless. He couldn't touch Xue Chongxun's clothes for a long time, and his face showed anxiety and irritability.

When he rushed to Xue Chongxun again, he pointed at Xue Chongxun's head and swept across without saying anything.

good!

Xue Chongxun shouted, lowered his head to dodge a move, stole forward, and stabbed Bao Cheng's waist with a stick.

ah!Bao Cheng suddenly screamed in pain, and at the same time he hit Xue Chongxun's shoulder with a stick. However, Xue Chongxun turned around without stopping, rubbed his shoulder and turned to the side, and slashed his neck with a stick. However, because the competition was about to reach the end, Xue Chongxun did not use much force.

Bao Cheng immediately pushed hard. When he turned around, he saw Xue Chongxun jumping into the air, holding up the wooden stick with both hands, and slashing down from a high place.

break!

Xue Chongxun shouted loudly, like a thunderous thunder. With a loud bang, he split the wooden stick blocked by Bao Cheng into two sections from the middle. Bao Cheng took three steps back to stand still, and almost sat on the ground.

To give in, to give in.

Xue Chongxun smiled and clasped his fists.

At this time, the people around him also cheered loudly. When Bao Cheng saw the situation, he had to admit defeat and had to say: Xue Minggong is very good at martial arts, and admire him.

At this time, Bao Cheng's wife with birthmark on her face ran up, handed the gold over, and said with a smile: "Give it back to you, we shouldn't get it, we don't want it."

When Xue Chongxun saw the young wife's joyful look, she suddenly felt a little strange. Don't women want their men to make a lot of money?Why would she be happy if Bao Cheng lost?

However, Bao Cheng said in great frustration: I have suffered the loss of underestimating the enemy. I will ask you for advice next time if I have the chance.

Xue Chongxun laughed loudly, it’s common for victory or defeat, and there is no need to be persistent.However, a hero is indeed capable. No matter whether we win or lose, we will still give you this reward, but I want to hire you as a recruiting general. If you have horses, food and military pay, you are better than running around in the world. Are you willing?

Bao Cheng was happy on his face, but before he could answer, the young wife next to him took the conversation in a rude way and said: We like to run around the world and be free!

The status of women in the Tang Dynasty was higher than that of other eras, but it was still a dynasty with Confucianism as its core. It was human ethics to respect men and women, and it was very impolite for men to speak or women to interrupt.

Xue Chongxun felt a little unhappy when he heard her say this.

Sure enough, Bao Cheng was very angry and glared at the woman and said: I am treating you as my sister-in-law for the sake of my fellow countrymen. How could I lose my etiquette?My business is your turn to take care of it?

The woman felt very wronged and turned her anger to Xue Chongxun, stared at Xue Chongxun and said: Didn’t it be agreed that Bao Lang would give that money only after he won?Why don’t you keep your word?

Xue Chongxun: ...

Suddenly, the woman's eyes were soaked with tears, and she said loudly: What's so great about having money? We don't care about it, you go!

presumptuous!

Bao Cheng was furious and pulled the woman back, then clasped his fists and said to Xue Chongxun: Country woman, you have no knowledge, Ming Gong should not be surprised.Let's find a place to discuss it in detail?Just rest assured, I understand everything about the brigade, team, and fire training, and I can control my subordinates. I am willing to have a chance to serve the country. No matter how much she is, she is not my own, but she just pretends when she is making a living.

Oh... Xue Chongxun glanced at the woman behind her tears, and thought to himself that I thought Bao Cheng was a man who valued love and righteousness. He did not hesitate to perform on the street to cure his wife's illness. It seems that things in the world are not as simple and innocent as people see!

At this time, the woman said hatefully: None of you people is good!Can you really do anything for wealth?

Bao Cheng's face turned pale and shouted: Shut up!Can you be dumb if you don’t speak?What kind of wealth? I am working for the country and always better than selling skills on the street!You broom star, don’t feel uncomfortable in your serious business?

OK, I am the broom star, I will not drag you down. You walk your path of wealth and honor, and I will cross my single-plank bridge to avoid being disliked.

After saying that, the woman ran away in tears, and the hat on her head fell down, and she ran into the rain with her head bare head.

Xue Chongxun looked at her back and said to Bao Cheng: You go and get her back first. After you settle down, you go to the headquarters of the Ministry of Revenue to find me. My surname is Xue. Then I will tell someone to say hello to the door.

Bao Cheng said: No matter how much she is, I have nothing to do with her. In the past, I just took care of her for the sake of my fellow villagers and gave her a shame. What do she do?

Xue Chongxun didn't know if he said this because he wanted to save face. He said immediately: I don't care about everyone's private affairs. I'll go back first. You can come to the yamen tomorrow morning.

He thought about it and stuffed the gold in his hand into Bao Cheng's hand.

Bao Cheng hurriedly refused: I will not receive any reward without merit, I will never accept this.

Don’t let my mother-in-law and mother. The government will give you the settlement fee. If you deserve it, you can settle your family.

After Xue Chongxun said that, he said goodbye to him without delaying the matter...

He guessed that Bao Cheng would go and get the young wife back soon. After all, they had been together for so long, so Bao Cheng's attitude should be just to act and behave for the sake of face.

After saying goodbye to Bao Cheng, Xue Chongxun saw that night was approaching, so he walked back with Sanniang and several other guards.At this time, Sanniang suddenly said: That woman is really pity.

Xue Chongxun said casually: I'm also very surprised, why did she embarrass Bao Cheng for nothing?A man gets a good job, so she won't have to be in the wind and rain in the future.

Sanniang said coldly: Didn’t you understand?

What do you understand?Xue Chongxun asked curiously.

Sanniang sneered: A gentleman, a good man... can be the same as hardships, but not as rich as wealth.The woman could see clearly that if the Bao surnamed just now had money and had another legitimate chore in the yamen, it would be hard to say whether she would abandon her if she could accompany her all day as before.

Xue Chongxun couldn't help but stop and turned to look at Sanniang and said: When you said this, I suddenly remembered that Bao Cheng explained several times that his little wife was not his inner friend...

Now the husband understands why that woman is so rude, right?

Sanniang said lightly, "It's normal for human nature. Is it strange to be like this in the world? You don't have to care about it..." If anyone else would probably be the same as Bao Cheng, not only did he have a big spot on his face, but he seemed to have problems with his hands."The piece of gold given by the husband was taken to the village and could buy a few young and innocent little girls.

That's right?

Xue Chongxun said in a daze. He turned around and walked a few steps silently, and suddenly turned around and said: Sanniang, you should take two people back to find them now. It’s raining, and that woman shouldn’t run too far.If Bao Cheng didn't find her, you get her back, otherwise what if she was helpless in Luoyang?

Sanniang clasped her fists quietly and said: I'll go now.You two, come with me.

……

When Xue Chongxun returned to his residence, he found that the waiter girl in the room was Jiang Cainiang who was on duty in the study during the day. He couldn't help but ask in surprise: Are you on duty during the day? Why are you here?

Cai Niang lowered her head and said: The manager said it is rare that I am familiar with my husband, so she asked me to come and serve him so that he could save his husband's worries.

Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment, looked around and saw that there was no one else, and suddenly walked to Cai Niang unexpectedly, reaching out to touch her chin.

Cai Niang was shocked and hurriedly avoided, saying: "Mr., I am just a servant who serves people and cannot sleep..."

Xue Chongxun smiled, don’t you?

I don’t have the right to do this... Cai Niang said pale, “You guy, let me go, otherwise others will gossip behind my back.”

Xue Chongxun didn't make things difficult for her. She walked a few steps and said: That's right, because of my status, it's impossible for someone like you... You know that there is no benefit, so you are naturally reluctant.

Cai Niang lowered her head and said nothing.

Xue Chongxun suddenly sighed: If I had nothing now, then you will follow me.But suddenly one day I became successful. Do you think I will still want you?

Cai Niang said in a mosquito-like voice: This man wants to ask himself, I don’t know.
