Chapter 96

the next day.

The sky is cloudy and the wind is a little cool.

Since the morning, there has been such a chilling atmosphere in the air for no reason.

As we all know, in ancient times, after the autumn harvest, the common people were generally free, so...

The day has not yet arrived, and the Hundred Days Competition is already full of people.

It has been more than 50 days since Song Xiang set up this arena, and today is the busiest day.

Don't look at it, it's only been a day, the anecdote about the gambling fight today has been spread throughout the entire Runan City in just one morning; the streets, alleys, teahouses and restaurants, from storytellers to waiters, from errands From the little gangsters...everyone is chewing on this matter.

Everyone knows that at the end of today, Sun Yixie, who became famous in Luoyang not long ago, wants to teach Song Xiang, the wicked young man in Runan City, a lesson at the Hundred Days Competition.

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 and women in the city, domineering, and did countless evils, but no one helped him. The people come forward.

This can't be helped, because a bully and local tyrant with an official background like Song Xiang is usually not managed by people on Jianghu Road, but by people on Green Forest Road; The masters are so powerful that even Zhao Yuanyu, who is a "swordsman" on the green forest road, has been invited, so after so many years, no one on the green forest road dared to touch this young master of the Song family...

If what Song Xiang did was a little later, and it really reached the level of "disaster for the country and the people", then it would be easy to handle. At that time, there would be many green forest masters who are more powerful than Zhao Yuyao to deal with him. Unfortunately, he did not do that the point.

Until today, everyone is finally looking forward to it.

Even if Song Xiang is fine after the ring today, as long as he can see him deflated, the people will be happy.

"Come on!"

"Hey, come here!"

"Everyone, get out of the way, the three young heroes are here!"

As soon as the time came, Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji approached the ring on foot, and the common people cheered.

The masses not only gave way, but also cheered for them.

"Sun Shaoxia pleads for the people, he is really a hero!"

"Sun Shaoxia stood up for us!"

"Sun Shaoxia, be careful, that Song Xiang is a despicable villain, don't fall into his tricks!"

In addition to those who praised him, there is also no lack of words to remind him to worry about him.

And Sun Yixie just smiled all over his face, didn't respond, and walked forward calmly; Lei Buji also followed him silly.

Only Huang Donglai, squinting his 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 came to the edge of the ring with the support of the masses.

Because the common people were too loud, the servants and slaves of the Song Mansion could not suppress the voice even if they barked their teeth and claws at the stage.

"Hmph..." At this time, Song Xiang couldn't wait to stand on the stage. Seeing Sun Yixie and the others approaching, he snorted coldly and said loudly, "You really dare to come?"

"That's right, can I still be afraid of beating a rookie like you?" Sun Yixie replied with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he took a few steps forward, waved at the servants of the Song family who were surrounding the stage, and signaled them to get out of the way with a gesture like repelling flies.

Those people didn't dare to stop him, so they could only obediently give up a corner of the ring.

Then, Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji swaggered onto the stage from the steps at the corner of the ring.

Song Xiang saw that all three were coming up, and he also smiled: "Heh, what are you doing? You think one can't beat me, so you want all three to go up together?"

Sun Yixie said: "Take care of you...I am enough alone, my two brothers just came up to watch the battle." As he spoke, he pointed to the platform next to the ring that was as high as the ring, which was Ma Zhaohe Where Zhao Yuyao was sitting, "You can also arrange two seats for them over there."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Song Xiang tilted his cheeks and twisted the corners of his mouth, "Why?"

"That's right." Sun Yixie seemed to have guessed that this guy would respond like this, and immediately continued, "Why can your people sit on the stage and watch, while my brother has to stand and watch? Are you right? What kind of shady activities are you doing on stage, afraid of being discovered by others?"

When he said this, he paused for a while, and before Song Xiang could reply, he immediately turned his head and said to Huang Donglai: "Hey~ Brother Huang, I think the way that brother was beaten off the stage yesterday is a bit strange, could it be this?" What's wrong with it?"

"Isn't it~" Huang Donglai also answered in a strange way, "How else can this one be kept for more than 50 days?"

The two of them sang together like this, as if implying that Song Xiang won all the competitions in the previous fifty days by some kind of fraudulent means.

The common people below came here with a stand, and when they heard this, they immediately booed.

"I'm afraid there is fraud on this stage!"

"Song, are you trying to be deceitful for fear of being seen out?"

"What is a fair fight? It turns out to be a lie!"

Once this public opinion is brought up, the truth is actually not important.

But there is still something to say here...Song Xiang himself did not cheat subjectively. Even in the fight with Tang Weizhi yesterday, he didn't know that Zhao Yuanyu helped him secretly.

Since everyone around him was coaxing Song Xiang, including his two masters and bodyguards, who also ate their Song family food, they had to save face for the young master, so Song Xiang always felt that his martial arts were really good. The phrase "magic skills are unrivaled in the world" comes from the heart.

You may think that he is mentally handicapped, but if you put yourself in another position, you will find that this is normal.

In that era when information was blocked and communication was underdeveloped, if a person lived in a pampered environment since childhood, he would hardly suffer any setbacks, and most people around him only said good things to himself, made mistakes and even violated the laws of the king. In an environment where someone will help him cover up, that's what he will do.

For a child who grew up in the palace, it is a matter of course that all food and daily needs are served by someone; for a child who grew up begging on the roadside, it is only a matter of course that he goes out to beg for food every day and often goes hungry thing.

You can tell the children who grew up in the palace that there are people in this world who are still begging for food, or you can tell the beggars that there are people in this world who stretch out their clothes to eat and open their mouths, but they can only imagine, but they cannot understand what they hear.

And if they have never been told that there are people in the world who are in the opposite situation to them, 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 cognition is different from most people.

If he really had self-knowledge, he wouldn't be able to put on a "hundred-day competition". He would have gone back to practice his skills a long time ago, and first try to catch up to a second-rate master like Master Ma Zhao...

"You fart!" Sure enough, Song Xiang jumped up angrily after being led by Sun and Huang.

He Song bully usually does a lot of evil, and he is not afraid of being criticized, but he cannot bear to be wronged.

If you want to say that he beat someone to death and raped a civilian girl, he admits it, but he is not responsible. In other words, the "responsibility" in his cognition is to be scolded by his own father, and then his father will send someone To threaten others, bribe the government, pay some money...

But if you want to accuse him of cheating, he feels wronged, because he really doesn't have one.

"Okay! Bring them two stools! You want to see it? Let you see it all!" After Song Xiang finished cursing, he immediately instructed his servants to move the stools.

The evil slaves of the Song Mansion were quite efficient, and they "borrowed" two stools from a nearby teahouse within a short time, and placed them on the empty seats next to Ma Zhao and Zhao Yuanyuan.

Huang Donglai and Lei Buji greeted Sun Yixie and sat down.

What are they doing?To put it bluntly... this is to prevent yesterday's scene from repeating itself.

Ma Zhao and Zhao Yuanyuan also knew what they meant—the young master of the Huangmen and Shaoxia Lei were sitting in such a close place, if you two engage in those petty tricks again, it will be difficult to hear it if it gets out.

"Seniors, in yesterday's situation, I couldn't come up to say hello to you. How rude I am, forgive me, forgive me." When Huang Donglai sat down, he was very polite and greeted Ma and Zhao with a smile.

Lei Buji also imitated Brother Huang, cupping his fists at the two of them.

As the saying goes, don't hit smiling people, Ma Zhao and Zhao Yuanyuan looked at each other, and after thinking about it, they felt that it was impossible to fight with these two juniors.

Therefore, both of them returned the gift more politely.

"Huang Shaoxia doesn't need to be too polite, Zhao is just a bodyguard on the [-]th Road who gets paid to do things, and he can't be regarded as your senior." Zhao Yuyao said.

"Yes, Huang Shaoxia, Lei Shaoxia, and Sun Shaoxia are all young knights who have become famous recently. Compared with you, Ma feels inferior to you." Ma Zhao also responded.

The two of them talked inside and out, and they both kept their figures relatively low, which is of course as it should be.

People like them who are somewhat capable in Taoism are not very honorable to be servants of big families, but it's not enough to hurt the sky...

"The two seniors are too modest." Huang Donglai listened to the other party's words, but still praised him, "The names of 'Yanhui Yizhu' and 'Wuyingjian' still have a lot of weight when they are spoken out, and they are not comparable to our juniors. .”

His words are also telling these two people that after this day, I have already inquired clearly about the two of you in the city.

And Ma Zhao and Zhao Yuanyu were not surprised by this, their affairs in the Song Mansion were not a secret at all, and many people in the city knew about it.

"Where is it, in front of the 'Three Uniques of the Yellow Gate', our little tricks... can only be regarded as trivial skills." Ma Zhao said again.

He also said something out of the way, and the general meaning is--I know Huang Shaoxia, you have a way of playing poison, and you don't have to pretend to be a grandson with me. Since everyone has the ability, it's best not to make the situation deadlocked.

On their side, they were dealing with each other in the open and in the dark, while the two on the stage were all in the open.

"Did you bring the 3000 taels today?" Sun Yixie asked.

"Hmph... Isn't it just 3000 taels?" Song Xiang waited for him to ask this, "Come here, bring it up."

Before he finished speaking, several servants who had been waiting for this order came up with a small box.

The box was put on the ground, and when it was opened, it revealed white flowers, all of which were silver, and it was filled to the brim; including the box itself, it weighed as much as one person at least.

The ordinary people under the stage stared straight at the eyes. Ordinary people would never see such money in their lifetime. Many people couldn't help but exclaimed.

Song Xiang was quite pleased with the reaction of those common people, with a smug expression on his face, he said again: "What about yours?"

Sun Yixie calmly took out a few bank notes from his bosom, which were the remaining part of the "6000 taels of maternal love" he had brought with him when he came out of Hangzhou, which happened to be 3000 taels.

"Do you want someone to take it to the bank for inspection?" Sun Yixie held the bank note between his fingers and shook it gently.

"That's not necessary." Song Xiang really didn't care about this very much. He wanted to fight Sun Yixie today mainly for the sake of saving face. To him, money was just a concept, not important.

"Okay." Sun Yixie said, stepped forward a few steps, put his few bank notes into the silver box, and then closed the box smoothly.

After he finished all this, Song Xiang winked at the servants and asked them to take the box to the place next to the ring that was originally used for reward money and show it to the public.

Sun Yixie walked back to the side of the ring, and continued: "The bet is fine, let's talk about the rules."

"Rules?" Song Xiang wondered, "What rules?"

"Don't you have to clarify the rules in the ring?" Sun Yixie said, "Besides falling out of the ring, what else can and cannot be done, we have to explain clearly in advance, otherwise we will fight What if someone cheats on you?"

"Hmph..." Song Xiang sneered, "I've been here for more than fifty days, and no one is as particular as you."

"That's why you are an amateur." Sun Yixie said, "If you don't explain the rules clearly, if someone inserts your eyes, kicks you in the crotch, and cripples you, what do you say?"

This point, Song Xiang really hadn't thought about it... After being reminded by Sun Yixie, Song Xiang suddenly felt a little scared.

"Uh...then you are not allowed to insert eyes and kick your crotch, and you can do anything else." Song Xiang continued.

"All okay?" Sun Yixie said, "Then can you use 'guy'? What kind of knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, hidden weapons, lime powder... can these be used?"

"No, no." Song Xiang had never learned weapons, let alone hidden weapons, so he would not agree, so he immediately denied it impatiently.

"Then the last question." Sun Yixie paused for a while, and then said, "This kind of thing that hurts people's lives in the ring, a knight like me would not do it... But fists and feet have no eyes, What if I hurt you today... After ten and a half days, you will get more and more angry at home, spit out a mouthful of old blood and die of anger, can't you blame me?"

"Bah!" Song Xiang cursed, "You still want to hurt me, Grandpa Song? Don't worry, no matter what happens on stage today, you will have no responsibility after stepping down. To tell you the truth... As of today, several of you have been maimed by Lao Tzu on this stage, one more than you is not too many, and one less than you is quite a lot... Huh, if you are sensible, immediately kneel down and kowtow three times to Grandpa and me, seriously. You made a mistake, if you leave the silver, I can still let you go, or... you will never leave today standing up!"
