Chapter 56: Competition

Zhang Cheng and Luo Gang walked out of the door and immediately saw brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Cheng standing outside under the shade of a tree holding a horse.

Zhang Cheng's face changed slightly, but he came up to them with a smile, clasped his fists and saluted the two of them, saying: "The virtuous Kunzhong is really shining brightly when he comes to my humble home!"

Xiao Cheng smiled and said: "Ziming, I brought my brother here without your consent, do you mind?"

"How could it be?" Zhang Cheng shook his head and said, "I know your brother's name like a thunderbolt. Even in the taverns and teahouses in Bianliang City, there are many storytellers who compiled the story of brother Changqing's killing of Liao Dog.

As for the drama, I have listened to several different versions. But every time I hear it again, my blood boils and I wish I could replace it with my own body!"

Xiao Ding bowed slightly and said, "Zi Ming was joking. The war is actually very boring. If we really want to fight like the storytellers say, not many people will die."

Xiao Cheng laughed on the side and said: "When I accompanied my brother out to have tea, I heard once that the storyteller described my brother as being more than ten feet tall, carrying a large knife weighing more than a hundred kilograms, killing people like chopping vegetables.

Chopping melons almost made us spit out the tea."

"It's good if you can lift a sword weighing more than a hundred kilograms, but it can also cut people?" Zhang Cheng also laughed and said: "If you can dance with a weapon weighing thirty-five kilograms, you are already an incredible hero."

"I can't do it anyway!" Xiao Ding said with a smile: "My spear only weighs eight kilograms and three taels."

Several people looked at each other and laughed.

Amid laughter, Xiao Ding looked at Luo Gang and said, "We haven't seen each other for five or six years, but Yu Ting has changed a lot. If I had known that you would become my brother-in-law, I should have beaten you more often."

"

Luo Gang shivered, and some bad memories suddenly came to mind again: "Brother, now I have changed my mind and become a new person. Chongwen can testify to this, and Ziming can also testify for me."

Zhang Cheng looked at Luo Gang with gloating, and said: "Brother Changqing, I can prove this for Yu Ting. Ever since your two families had an engagement, this former prodigal son among the flowers has never gone out again.

He has become a promiscuous man, and I have repeatedly invited him, but he has flatly rejected them all. For this reason, I still admire him."

Xiao Ding nodded, patted Luo Yuting's shoulder and said: "I am different from the second child. He likes to talk and convince people with reason. My favorite thing is to shake my fists and convince people with force." The second child said

After you change your mind, you will definitely become a Jinshi within two or three subjects."

Xiao Ding turned to look at Xiao Cheng, and Xiao Cheng nodded in affirmation.

"In this way, you are also a determined person." Xiao Ding continued: "But such a determined person is also easy to be stubborn and self-righteous. If you marry my little sister in the future, but treat her badly,

Even if she suffered a little bit of grievance, I would knock on her door. At that time, I didn’t care whether you were a Jinshi or not. Even if you became the husband-in-law at that time, I would still dare to go to your house to beat people and set them on fire. Do you believe it?

Do not believe?"

Luo Gang wiped the cold sweat from his face. Who are these two brothers?

"You two, you two, today's business is between me and Brother Chongwen. We can talk about Yuting's matters later." Seeing his friend sweating coldly and looking embarrassed, Zhang Cheng jumped out to help him out at the right time:

"Chongwen, shall we go in?"

"Of course!" Xiao Cheng smiled.

Zhang Cheng looked at Xiao Ding.

Xiao Ding chuckled: "Don't worry, today is your agreement with your second brother. I'm just here to watch the fun, not to support him. Even if he loses miserably, I won't take action."

Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "With Brother Changqing's words, I can do what I do boldly and confidently."

On the side of the school ground, a coffee table has long been placed, with a few round elm wood tables on the left and right. A maid is kneeling on a soft cushion and is concentrating on making tea, while Xiao Ding and Luo Ding are sitting on the ground.

Gangfen sat on both sides, but their eyes were fixed on Xiao Cheng and Zhang Cheng in the school grounds.

"I also knew that Chongwen could fight before, but I really didn't know that he could actually fight against Zhang Ziming!" Luo Gang sighed: "But looking at Zhang Ziming's serious attitude these days, I also know that Chongwen

level.”

"Oh, Zhang Ziming has made a lot of preparations in the past few days?" Xiao Ding picked up a cup of tea and saw that there was a cup hanging inside. He couldn't help but take a second look at the maid making the tea. "Good work."

"Thank you, Commander Xiao, for the compliment!" The maid smiled sweetly.

Seeing Xiao Ding's nonchalant look, Luo Gang's heart suddenly jumped, "Brother, are you so sure that Chongwen will win? Zhang Ziming hasn't even been close to women these days, nor has he drank.

A drop of my heart, I am concentrating on preparing for this!"

"Does it matter whether they win or lose?" Xiao Ding chuckled: "It's just a drink at Fan Lou!"

"You still have face!" Luo Gang said loudly.

Xiao Ding curled his lips: "It's just Zhang Ziming's face. If the second brother loses, he loses, what's the big deal. He is a scholar, but he loses to Zhang Ziming, who practices martial arts all day long, what's so surprising about it?

?This is like asking Zhang Ziming to compete with his second brother in writing articles. Will Zhang Ziming be willing to write? "

"This..." Luo Gang choked immediately.

Let alone picking up the pen, Zhang Ziming would definitely turn around and leave as soon as he heard about this competition method.

"So, if my second brother dares to stand here today, he is already in an invincible position." Xiao Ding said with a smile: "So what does it matter if he loses? If the news cannot be spread, everyone has to praise him.

He is both civil and military. If he had survived longer, I am afraid that Zhang Ziming would not have the shame to go out and brag about his victory, and in turn, he would be worried that we would go out and talk about it!"

"That's right!" Luo Gang finally reacted.

I couldn't help but scold Xiao Cheng for being cunning. It turns out that no matter what happens, he will never lose!

Unless Zhang Cheng defeats Xiao Er in three strokes, five divided by two, otherwise, even if Zhang Cheng wins in the end, the money for the drink will probably still fall on him.

In the school grounds, Xiao Cheng and Zhang Cheng, who had changed into short and stylish clothes, stood opposite each other.

"Don't hit me in the face!" Xiao Cheng said: "I have to go to school in two days. If Master Cen sees the injuries on my face, I'm afraid my palms will suffer again. This old man hates the bravery of ordinary people the most.

"Using brute force to solve problems is what he disdains the most."

"No problem!" Zhang Cheng agreed very readily.

The two clasped their fists together, then each took a few steps away, their knees slightly bent, their upper bodies leaning forward slightly, each clenched their fists, their four eyes stared at each other, and slowly turned in circles.

Xiao Ding held a cup of tea and sipped it slowly, looking at the two people below with interest. Even the girl making tea was attracted to it, not to mention the servants of the Zhang family standing outside.

Like the Xiao Mansion, most of the servants in the Zhang Mansion are veterans who have retired from the army. All of them are also experts in fighting.

To a layman, there is only one Luo Yuting and the girl who makes tea. The two of them can only watch the fun.

Sure enough, after watching the two of them spinning around for four or five times, the girl who had been nervous at first felt bored and lowered her head to play with her tea set again.

"Brother, what are they doing, why don't they take action?" Luo Gang asked.

"Do you think they want to learn how to fight with the gangsters on the street? This is a competition of martial arts!" Xiao Ding said casually: "The competition is about patience, endurance, and observation. Once they discover the enemy's flaw, they will immediately take advantage of it.

."

"What if both sides never find the other's flaws?"

Xiao Ding smiled: "Then it's almost like fighting with the gangsters. No matter how elegant you are, in the end, the one with greater strength and skills will win."

"Brother, when you fight on the battlefield, are you fighting between masters or gangsters?" Luo Yuting suddenly became interested and asked.

Xiao Ding was stunned, turned his head, looked at Luo Yuting, thought for a while, and said: "Before the fight started, it was a competition between masters, but it was an all-round competition between the generals of both sides, including weather, geography, people's hearts, and morale.

, logistics and even the direction of the wind have to be taken into consideration, but once a fight actually breaks out, it is almost like a gangster fight. But when the two sides actually fight, the outcome is almost determined."

"Isn't it said that the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road?"

"You said we met on a narrow road, so naturally it was a chaotic battle for which both sides were unprepared. In fact, it's hard to say whether the brave one will win. At this time, the equipment and morale of both sides are decisive.

If the equipment between the two sides is too different, it will be useless no matter how brave you are. It will just make your death more heroic."

Luo Gang was stunned after hearing this. This was quite different from what he usually thought.

"Brother's statement reminds me of a joke Chongwen told me. He asked me, what should I do if I am alone and encounter a big tiger? I can't escape, and I can't win.

, I thought about it over and over, and it turned out that there was only one way to die."

Xiao Ding smiled: "I guess the second brother will let you yell at the tiger, openly challenge it, for example, shout a few times: Come and eat me, come and eat me!"

Luo Gang blushed: "Chongwen did say that. He said that this way you can die a hero and with dignity."

Xiao Ding burst out laughing.

"Brother, is this the same on the battlefield?"

Xiao Ding thought about it seriously and said: "If there is still a chance, of course I have to find a way to escape. Save yourself first, and then you can seek revenge. If you are really at the end of the road and there is only one way to die, then of course you have to escape.

If you fight to the death, even if you can't beat your opponent, it's still good to bite off a piece of the opponent's flesh."

Luo Gang suddenly shuddered.

While the two were talking, the two of them had already turned around in seventeen or eight circles. They probably felt that they could not find any flaws in each other, so they shouted in unison and rushed towards each other.
