Fang Yankai looked around and saw the two figures on the stage moving closer and further away, and shouts from people around him sounded from time to time.
"Dong Weng." Someone called from behind.
Fang Yankai turned around and saw his aide Jiang Yan.
"Why is Mr. Jiang here too?"
"I think of something that I must tell Dong Weng."
Fang Yankai took Jiang Yan back to a place farther away from the stage and stood at the corner of the street with his hands behind his back.
"Dong Weng, no matter whether Lieutenant Li wins or loses in this competition, our plan has been defeated."
"Um."
Jiang Yan added: "Originally, the story was that Bao San collided with Lieutenant Li and was severely beaten. But this bet turned into a group of archers trying to drive away Lieutenant Li. Things have changed.
Later, one person faced forty-four people, and he showed his magnanimity. If he really lost, everyone would probably laugh at him for not knowing his own abilities. But this...he has already picked eighteen people..."
Fang Yankai nodded and understood what Jiang Yan meant.
Before he could speak, another gong was heard, and Jiang Fan was defeated.
Fang Yankai squinted his eyes and saw another person coming on stage. He still didn't dare to take the initiative to attack, as if he wanted to drag down Li Xia's strength, but he was hit faster by the sword.
"There are twenty people, and he only got hit four times in total." Jiang Yan said, "The more he fights, the stronger he becomes."
Fang Yankai said: "It seems that he is very confident in swordsmanship, so he dares to say that one can defeat forty-four. Ha, it is obviously something that is very certain, but what he said is so mysterious."
Jiang Yan said: "Yes, he must have been practicing swordsmanship for many years. However, the people are not familiar with this set of rules and find it difficult to adapt to them. They cannot compete with them."
"At first, I thought he was out of control and was being forced to make a bet. Now it seems that he just wanted to show his ability. I waited and calculated, but it was easily resolved."
"Yes, no matter what, the plan has been defeated. It is meaningless to continue fighting, but let him show off his force. Why don't we stop?"
Fang Yankai didn't answer, looking a little regretful.
"Dong Weng." Jiang Yan advised: "Just say that I am worried that Lieutenant Li is too tired. Let's stop now, the scene will be better. If he really wins and the matter spreads, I don't know what kind of excuses he will use.
.”
"Wait a minute, Bao San, Wu Ang, Houhu and others haven't come on stage yet."
"Dong Weng, the number of people is more than half, what's the use of winning by chance? This is not a battlefield, but an officialdom."
Fang Yankai closed his eyes, shook his head, and murmured: "Winning by luck is also a win. What's the difference between a good loss and an ugly loss?"
"What's going on?" Louhu shouted.
Jiang Fan had already been defeated and had fallen off the stage, with an ugly expression on his face. He shook his head and said, "I finally understand that in a sword fight like this, the most useful thing is stabbing. If you drag him down, he will have no scruples and his sword skills will be even more powerful."
"I understand, I will stab him even if I try hard to let him stab me."
"He is too cunning." Jiang Fan said: "Actually, I just touched the door and was stabbed fifteen times. If I fight him for another ten rounds, I will become familiar with the fighting style and may be able to defeat him."
"I have an idea."
"explain."
"Let's practice in the audience first."
"It's not that interesting. So many people have lost, why are you still practicing? If you can lose in a battle, don't lose face." Bao San said, strode towards the stage, and said: "I will be in the next one."
"Brother, please pay attention to your steps..."
"Hey, brother, too. You can blackmail people, but you can't lose your face? Let's practice..."
"The One-Eyed Leopard is here!"
In the private room of the teahouse, a childish voice sounded.
After a while, the boy sighed and said: "You're so stupid, chopping, chopping, chopping, chopping is of no use...ah! The wooden sword was broken."
I heard another woman exclaim in surprise.
"Ah, the handkerchief fell off."
Mou Zhu glanced down and said, "It doesn't matter."
She turned her head and saw her son Jiang Cang waving his fists in great interest; her daughter Jiang Di was also staring at County Captain Li intently.
Mou Zhu sighed slightly.
She herself does not look very good. Although her son is only eight years old, he has small eyes and a flat nose. Fortunately, he has a square face like his father. The man looks like this and he is considered to be a righteous man.
On the other hand, my daughter Jiang Di, now fourteen years old, actually looks like this... That's a bit troublesome.
"Di'er, Di'er."
"Um?"
Even after calling several times, Jiang Di didn't look back.
Mou Zhu asked: "What do you think of Lieutenant Li?"
"Mother, isn't Lieutenant Li an immortal? Look at him... is there such a person in the world?"
"Like it?"
Jiang Di turned around suddenly, looked at Mou Zhu blankly, and then suddenly jumped up with joy.
"Is that okay?! Mother."
Before Mou Zhu could answer, Jiang Di held her hand and said happily: "Mom, do you know? I'm going to get drunk! This building is so high, I feel so shaken!"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. You have to ask your father."
Jiang Di nodded repeatedly, overjoyed.
Only Jiang Cang pursed his lips and murmured in a low voice: "Are you crazy? Even Zhao Yanei broke off the engagement. How can County Lieutenant Li be no better than Zhao Yanei? He's crazy. He's working in this poor county."
I have been a county lady for two years, and I have gone crazy..."
Suddenly I heard a series of boos below.
Jiang Cang turned his head and saw several Minzhuangs holding bamboo poles and sparring outside the field.
"Hey!" He also shushed and yelled out the window: "I still think you can win, what a coward! Qingfu County has lost all face to you!"
He was too lazy to watch the competition on the stage anymore. He thought it was not interesting, so he just watched Lieutenant Li swissing, and everyone else looked like fools.
Looking towards the long street, Jiang Cang suddenly said "Hey" and said, "Father is here."
"The official is here?" Mou Zhu was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered people: "Quick, go and invite the official up!"
However, looking from the teahouse, the old woman ran to the sedan and said a few words to Jiang Chun. Jiang Chun opened the sedan curtain and stared at the teahouse, but did not come over and went straight to the table.
Mou Zhu felt quite disappointed.
Jiang Cang said: "It seems that father wants them to stop. There is no comparison. Li County Lieutenant has only been hit seven times and has already knocked down thirty people. It's really boring and just like a fake."
"But he is so charming." Jiang Di murmured.
"You are so crazy too." Jiang Cang said.
The mother and daughter acted as if they didn't hear anything and just stared at the table.
Mou Zhu said: "What are the officials talking about?"
Jiang Di didn't respond, as if he was crazy.
Jiang Cang said: "Father must be telling them to stop competing... Team leader Wu and the others shook their heads, they must compete, thinking that they will definitely win after practicing... The landlord is here, and it seems that the landlord said to continue the competition.
...The competition started again...Oh, I told you, you are a coward."
At this point, Jiang Cang put his hands on his forehead and sighed: "It's still a competition. After practicing, I still lose. I've lost all my face. It's better to listen to my father's advice."
He drank a cup of tea angrily, turned his back and stopped looking.
After a while, Jiang Di suddenly heard a cry of surprise.
"ah!"
Jiang Cang turned around and saw that Li Xia had been stabbed three times in a row.
The next moment, Li Xia thrust out his sword and hit the man squarely.
"Bang!" A gong sounded, and someone shouted from a distance: "Forty-four games are over! Li County Wei wins!"
Jiang Di kept clapping her hands and said: "It's so close, it's so close, it's just one sword away."
"It's so dangerous." Jiang Cang muttered to himself, "The five squad leaders in front of me were only stabbed twice. How can I be stabbed four times by Lai Ba'er? You can give in, you're a coward to death."
"Let?! Wow, he...he he..."
Jiang Cang shook his head, and when he saw his sister and mother still clapping, he couldn't help but said: "What's so big about this? Mother, if you go and compete with two hundred big men in embroidery, you can win, too."
Jiang Di was so annoyed that he slapped his brother on the head and said, "Can you stop chattering here and annoying me to death?"
"It's embarrassing."
Wu Ang spat, feeling uncomfortable all over.
But I heard Li Xia speak loudly to the onlookers: "To make you laugh, Xia has no special skills, he is only good at swordsmanship. It's not that the teams in Qingfu County lost, but in fact they all have their own strengths. When it comes to protecting the environment." To keep the people at peace, to arrest thieves and thieves, I will never dare to compare with other classes..."
Wu Ang, Bao San, Lou Hu and others looked at each other, feeling increasingly helpless, and stepped onto the stage and bowed.
"County Captain."
"No fight, no acquaintance." Li Xia cupped his hands and said, "Today, I met Bao San on the road. I mistakenly thought he was a Mongolian assassin, and I acted recklessly. I apologize to you in public, and this will be the end of the story. How about that?"
"I don't dare to take it. I don't dare to take it. We will never blame the county captain."
"In the future, we must ask all the kings to work together to govern Qingfu County and ensure the stability of the people's livelihood."
"yes……"
Regardless of whether it was staged or not, since the dignified county captain said this, everyone had no choice but to return the gift respectfully, regardless of how they felt in their hearts.
Jiang Chun glanced at Fang Yankai and sighed slightly when he saw that he was still recuperating with his eyes closed.
The chief secretary did not come forward, so he, the county magistrate, had no choice but to come forward and scolded everyone: "It's just nonsense. How dare you fight and fight with the dignified county captain? How can you behave like this?!"
"The county magistrate doesn't need to blame them. It's just Xia who likes to show off. He knows some swordsmanship and always wants to show off in front of others. It's my fault, blame me." Li Xia said.
Jiang Chun choked and said in his heart that he was blaming you and pretending not to understand people! It's so annoying!
Although I am annoyed, I still have to finish what I need to do.
"Li Xianwei has said that the matter ends here, but from now on..."
"Let's all disperse." Li Xia said, "It's getting late. It's time to go home for dinner. I've delayed everyone's business today. I'll buy some wine to make amends for you another day."
"Thank you, County Lieutenant!"
Everyone clasped their fists and dispersed one after another.
Li Xia didn't want to talk to them in public now, as the effect might not be good. It would be better to wait for everyone to calm down and then talk in detail one by one.
Jiang Chun felt slightly embarrassed, turned around and glanced at Fang Yankai again, only to see him open his eyes and regain his Gujing Wubo expression...
