Excerpts from Martial Arts Novels: Fan Jianghu: Competing for Marriage

Duan Qing and Peng Changgang entered the garden, only to find themselves here. She is wearing a pale yellow dress, with a round face, red in white, eyes like autumn water, slender eyebrows like willow leaves and a small cherry mouth. Full-bodied, bumpy, full, like a blooming peony, beautiful.

? When they saw Hong Jun coming down surrounded by his maid, they were busy holding a ceremony on the roadside.

Hong Jun stopped in front of the two men and said to Peng Chang, "Brother Chang, you and I are brother and sister, so why bother?" Hong Jun looked at the next paragraph and said, "Hong Jun thanked his son for saving his life." After that, I thought that my body had been seen by him, and I couldn't help blushing and being shy.

? Duan Qing said, "You're welcome for a little thing." Hong Jun said to her handmaid, "You haven't thanked your son yet." Four girls next to them came to salute, and the magpies said, "If it weren't for you, the jade girl would be in danger, and the four magpies would be in danger. This is called Bailing, that is called Yuanyang, and she is called Butterfly. " Magpies are introduced one by one

? Hong Jun added, "I just heard that your son is leaving. Is there any bad hospitality? Make the childe unhappy? " It turns out that Hong Jun just fell behind. As soon as I heard that Duan Qing was leaving, I came to ask questions.

Duan Qing said, "No, the palace treated me very well. Please don't worry about herself. " Hong Jun smiled and said, "You're welcome, son. You are Chang's eldest brother, which is my eldest brother. Call me Hong Jun from now on. I am not an outsider, so I might as well stay a few more days. " Hong Jun paused and then said, "I have been relaxing in the mansion these days. Why don't you accompany me outside to see the scenery in Xizhou? How come? "

? Duan Qing saw Hong Jun take the initiative to invite, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree. Several people went out of the palace and walked along the street. Pedestrians greeted Hong Jun in succession, and Hong Jun nodded and smiled in return. Hong Jun introduced the customs of Xizhou while walking. After all, she is a local, more familiar than Peng Chang.

? When I came to the water's edge, I watched the blue waves rippling, fishing boats shuttling, ducks paddling in the water, and flowers blooming by the river. Hong Jun loudly sings:

Since ancient times, Huixi has been a famous place with picturesque waterfalls.

Yanzi Rock used to play and dance, and the monkeys listened to the cries on the rocks.

The golden basin leads to two streams, and the copper column is not a blacksmith's furnace.

Talk about its taste on a five-mile-long slope, adding a wonderful picture to the pavilion.

? Hong Jun's voice is crisp and sweet, like a kingfisher jumping into the water and an oriole singing. Duan Qing couldn't help admiring: "Ying Ge speaks very romantically, and her voice is lingering. Singing is really nice! " Hong Jun said, "Brother Duan flatter me. This is a folk song that all local girls can sing. Bailing sings much better than me. " We've been together for a long time, and we've become very familiar. Unconsciously, Hong Jun has been renamed Duan Qing.

? Hong Jun took Duan Qing to the bronze pillar of Xizhou and said, "This is the bronze pillar that the king of Chu and the toast made an oath after the war in Xizhou." Duan Qing said: "The copper column is unforgettable, it brings peace and tranquility." Hong Jun also said, "Yes, otherwise people will suffer. Besides, King Chu is my aunt and grandfather. Why do relatives do this? Wouldn't it be better to live in harmony? "

Duan Qing wants to know how many people in history, and their relatives killed each other for wealth. Thought of here, he can't help but sigh. Hong Jun saw it and asked, "Does Big Brother think what I said is wrong?" Duan Qing quickly said, "No, it's just a pity that others don't have such a bodhisattva heart as you. They only look at the gains and losses of wealth and their own interests, and there are no ordinary people. " Duan Qing thought, Peng Like Jia, originally relatives, is still fighting with each other, and I don't know when it will be solved.

A few people stroll along while, back to the palace. When I came to the hall, I saw many people sitting there. When the local king saw Hong Jun coming back, he said, "Hong Jun came back at the right time. Please sit down first. I have something to tell you. " Hong Jun stepped forward and sat beside the king of soil. Duan Qing and Peng Chang sat down below and saw that the temple was full of bride price.

The local king said, "Your son, did you see the bride price in front of you?" These are all sent to Hotan's family. They all want me to betroth you to them. But your big brother Peng Yong also wants to marry you. This makes me very embarrassed. What do you mean? " Hong Jun looked at the bride price in front of him, then at Meng Tian, Xiangfeng and eldest brother Peng Yong. Yinfang thought about it, took a bite and said, "Dad, I have already chosen."

? The local king said, "It's almost decided. Who do you choose?" Hong Jun pointed, blushed and said, "That's him." They all followed her fingers, but it was Duan Qing. Everyone was speechless for a while, and the local king was surprised. He asked anxiously, "Your son, are you right?" Hong Jun said firmly, "Yes, I took a fancy to him."

? Peng Yongxian said, "Sister, you asked us to choose a stranger we just met instead of childhood friends. Why? " Meng Tian even shouted, "Jade girl, this person is of unknown origin. How can you choose him? " Xiang Feng hasn't met Duan Qing yet, and asked, "What virtue and skill does he have that deserve us?" It was noisy, and so was the temple.

King soil eyebrows a wrinkly, coughed. The hall is quiet. Duan Qing was also surprised. Seeing that the hall was quiet, he got up and bowed to the local king and Hong Jun, saying, "Thank her for her wrong love, and the right person is ashamed. Grass people dare not climb high, which is negative beauty. " The local king said to Hong Jun, "Since Duan Gongzi said so, what do you think?"

? Hong Jun asked, "Brother Duan, have you seen my body?" Duan Qing not from one leng, speak hesitatingly. Hong Jun asked again, "Brother Duan, have you touched my body?" Duan Qing has nothing to say. Hong Jun said, "According to our rules, I can only marry you. If you have another engagement, I don't mind, big or small. "

? Duan Qing said, "Caoshan villagers really don't deserve gold and jade. Please think twice and see clearly. " He can only hope that the local king will not agree to the jade girl's request. The local king said, "In that case, your son, why don't you reconsider?" Hong Jun said, "Then I won't marry any of them. I will stay with my father all my life. " The local king was surprised: "How is this possible?" Peng Yong three people listen to the red gentleman say so, all ruthlessly stare for a few eyes. Knowing that Hong Jun's character is uncompromising, the king of soil feels very difficult.

? Then someone said, "Tell uncle, can you let my little nephew say a few words?" Duan Qing looked at it. It's Peng Chang The local king said, "You are not an outsider. I just want to ask your opinion! " "Peng Chang said:" Duan Gongzi is from Dali, and his character and martial arts are first-class. Can't say that his origin is unknown. Duan Gongzi and I are sworn brothers, so the three eldest brothers don't have to doubt his identity. "

The local king said, "We know these things, so let's just say so." Peng Chang said, "Yes, uncle. It is understandable that the three eldest brothers are dissatisfied with the choice of the jade girl. After all, you don't know Duan Gongzi. How's this? The four of you have a wedding contest. Whoever wins in the end will win the heart of the jade girl. Martial arts can't be outstanding, so naturally he doesn't deserve to be the son-in-law of the sovereign. What do you think? "

Wang Daxi said, "That's a good idea. Just at the time of the contest, just stop. " Hong Jun said angrily, "Eldest brother, what are you trying to do with me as a bet?" Peng Chang winked at Hong Jun and said, "I didn't mean to. It's just that the jade girl loves her daughter and is a local tyrant. Naturally, only people with excellent character and martial arts can deserve her, and she can also serve the local king in the future. Jade girl will naturally think of the prince. "

Peng Chang said this, but it is not. At present, people who propose marriage are people with backgrounds. If there is not enough reason to refuse, they will naturally refuse, which will seriously affect Peng's stable position. Hong Jun ice snow cleverness, is transparent, naturally understand this powerful relationship. It's just that Hong Jun doesn't know how Duan Qing's martial arts are, which makes him very worried.

But Peng Chang knows all about the martial arts of the four of them. He knew Duan Qing would win easily if he wanted to win, so he gave Duan Qing the initiative. On the occasion of the tournament, Duan Qing can pretend to be defeated if he really doesn't want to marry a jade girl. Then, Peng Chang winked at Hong Jun again, asking her not to object. Hong Jun and Peng Chang always get along well, knowing that he won't hurt himself, and they keep silent.

Seeing that the jade girl was silent, the land king said, "OK, the Wulin will compete for marriage tomorrow." Until the evening, Duan Qinggang finished his work. The magpie came in and said that the jade girl was waiting in the garden. Duan Qing came to the garden with the magpie. Seeing Hong Jun pacing back and forth in the garden, he stepped forward to meet him, and the magpie waited on him from a distance.

Hong Jun looked at Duan Qing and asked, "Am I ugly?" Duan Qing said, "Miss Jade is joking. You are absolutely beautiful and the country is beautiful. " Hong Jun asked again: "I am bohemian, not gentle and virtuous enough?" Duan Qing said: "Jade girl is pure and clean, gentle and kind, and everyone knows it." Hong Jun said, "Then why did you refuse me?"

Duan Qing said, "I have an appointment and dare not go any further." If I do that, am I not a ruthless villain? "Duan Qing is engaged to him at home, or did he refer to his stomach as marriage? Moreover, he must tell his elders about the big wedding before he can decide. Hong Jun said, "I didn't ask you to break up your marriage. It is common for men to have three wives and four concubines. I wish you didn't treat me like a concubine. "

Duan Qing said, "Duan Qing really dare not be so wronged." There are many good men in the world. With her talent and status, she can find a better husband. "Hong Jun said," there are many good people in the world, but you are the only one who has seen my body. This kind of life can only bother you. "Hong Jun since out of the lake has been treated by Duan Qing, the in the mind already secretly promised. After traveling together for a day, he made up his mind when he saw that he was honest and handsome.

Hong Jun said, "My eldest brother just said that you are very skilled. It's easy if you want to win. You and I are both martial arts people. If you don't work hard tomorrow and deliberately lose, I will commit suicide. " Say that finish and turn around and go. Duan Qing wry smile, mouth secretly blame Peng Changduo. But he thought, after all, they are cousins, and they are closely related to each other, which is also reasonable.

? The next morning, accompanied by Peng Chang, Duan Qing came to the martial arts school together. The martial arts field is surrounded by soldiers, with a large clearing in the middle. Yesterday, Diwang decided to compete for the bride and groom. When the news came out, it attracted countless people to watch from afar. Diwang and Jade Girl were sitting upstairs watching, and a middle-aged man was presiding downstairs. In order to be fair, the local king deliberately let irrelevant people dominate.

When the time came, the man shouted, "Today, I was ordered by the king to hold a wedding contest for the jade girl. The final winner is the son-in-law of the sovereign. Don't hurt people's lives when fighting. " The man read out the details of the game. Suddenly the gongs and drums were loud and the scene was very lively.

The king nodded, the man waved, and the drums and music stopped. He stepped forward and announced: "In the first game, Duan Qing played against Meng Tian." Meng Tian jumped into the field one by one with a big round knife in his hand. Duan Qing strode past Meng Tian and slowly took off his sword. But I didn't pull it out. I held out a sheathed sword.

? The man with a drink, Meng Tian dashed in and slashed at Duan Qing. Duan Qing dodged sideways and gave Meng Tian a poke with his finger. The two men swam away quickly. Duan Qing secretly worry, looking at Meng Tian just jump, I knew his internal force is not as good as yourself. I knew at first sight that although his knife was heavy, it had many flaws.

Duan Qingru went all out, not to mention using Duan's superb swordsmanship. Even ordinary swordsmanship could draw him. He wanted to find a chance to lose on purpose, but last night Hong Jun said so, and he hesitated again. Peng Chang told him that Jade Girl spoke firmly and always kept her word, so Duan Halal was afraid that something would happen to her.

Duan Qing had to use wild goose jianfa to deal with Meng Tian first, thinking while fighting. He only defends and does not attack, and he is strong and strong, so he is invincible. Meng Tian even attacked dozens of strokes, but he could not help Duan Qing, but consumed a lot of internal force. He couldn't help worrying that the knife method was full of flaws.

? Duan Qing made up his mind and wanted to get involved with him. I didn't take the opportunity to interrupt when I saw him showing his flaws. I hope he gives up and makes peace. But everyone present is a master. If I see Meng Tian's failure, Jun Hong will frown. Meng Tian complained secretly, but refused to stop. Suddenly, his right hand came with a knife and his left hand waved at the same time, and a dart went straight to Duan Qing's heart.

? Duan Qing Ma Chu was angry with his sudden plot against him. Immediately, I wielded a sword in my right hand and a broadsword in my left. The original intention was just to shoot down the darts, but I didn't want to push them too hard at the moment, so I pushed them back. Tian Mengwan didn't expect darts to fly towards him. Before he could react, the dart had pierced Meng Tian's thigh, and Meng Tian fell to the ground with a bang.

? The man looked forward and the dart went deep into his leg. Meng Tian couldn't stand any longer. He announced loudly: "Duan Qing won the first game. The second scene was directed by Peng Yong to the peak. " Someone hurriedly carried Meng Tian away.

Duan Qing walked off the stage, her eyes swept away, and she was looking at Hong Jun. Seeing that she was very angry, Duan Qing turned to avoid her reproachful eyes. Peng Chang then complained to Duan Qing: "He doesn't know what is good and what is bad. You should do it earlier, why waste time? " . Jade girl has long seen it. You don't want to kill her? "

? Duan Qing said grumpily, "It's your big mouth. Tell her I know martial arts. Otherwise, I would have fled, where there would be such a dilemma! " Peng Chang said, "You can't blame me. She is a princess. I dare not lie to her. That is the great sin of genocide! " Duan Qing sighed, said nothing more, and looked intently at the fight between the two people in the field.

? However, looking at Xiangfeng's spear gun, the marksmanship is quite exquisite. Unfortunately, his internal force is limited and his strength cannot be exerted. Peng Yong wields a sword, and his swordsmanship is superb, as fast as lightning. Two people a few strokes, Duan Qing know Peng Yong internal force is far stronger than the peak. Sure enough, after more than a dozen strokes, Xiangfeng kept screaming, obviously the internal force loss was too great. Peng Yong's strength doubled and his sword flew.

Xiang Feng made more than a dozen moves, but he showed his flaws. Peng Yong went straight into the sword, stabbed his wrist and landed on Xiang Feng's pike. The man looked at it and announced loudly, "Scene 2, Yongsheng Peng." There was cheers outside, and it seems that the prince is quite popular. The man said to Peng Yong, let him have a rest, ready to play Duan Qing. Peng Yong said nothing and insisted on starting at once.

The man stood in the audience and announced loudly: "The third and last game: Peng Yong versus Duan Qing." Duan Qing has made up his mind at this time, then keep a draw, and the things behind will naturally be handled by the king of soil. Duan Qing rushed to the scene and exchanged gifts with Peng Yong. The man was startled.

? Peng Yong stabbed with a sword and threatened. Duan Qing flew out of a road and kicked Peng Yong. The two are intertwined. On the internal force of martial arts, Xiangxi three people naturally have a skill than Peng Yong. Duan Qing did not dare to ask for help. First, he fought with ordinary fencing. After more than twenty strokes, ordinary swordsmanship could not be put to good use, and Peng Yong was restrained by swordsmanship.

Duan Qing was helpless, so he had to use his family's swordsmanship, but he didn't dare to inspire all his internal skills for fear of hurting the prince. Duan Qing promoted the five-level internal skill, that is, he was in a stalemate with Peng Yong, which was close at the moment. After fighting for a long time, Peng Yong saw Duan Qing as if nothing had happened, and he was not in a hurry, but his internal force was exhausted. He knew that the other party had not tried his best and just wanted to draw. My swordsmanship has been practiced, so there is no point in repeating it. Peng Yong thought of this, body flash, out of the war.

? Peng Yongdao: "Your martial arts are really high, and the jade girl is not wrong about anyone. I admire you very much. " Duan Qing quickly said, "the prince's kung fu is the best. I have tried my best to barely support it. " The host didn't know what to do at the moment. Peng Yong glanced at him and announced to himself, "Duan Qing won the game."

? Duan Qing said quickly, "Did we win or lose ..." Peng Yong smiled, "You took good care of my face and didn't let me make a fool of myself on the spot. Thank you very much. " Peng Yong turned to the king and said, "Father, the jade girl has a good eye, and Duan Qing has a good character and high martial arts. I have no objection to this marriage. "

This situation suddenly changed. Duan didn't expect Peng Yong to give up automatically. Stay for a while, at a loss.

? Huo Ran, a red gentleman, stood up, jumped up and flew down. But I saw her graceful figure, like a fairy descending from the earth, surrounded by cheers and applause. Duan Qing never imagined that Hongjun's flying skills were so good. Hong Jun landed lightly in front of Duan Qing and said with a smile, "Is it all right now?" At Peng Yong Ma Duanqing. Peng Yong smiled and said, "Although I love Hong Jun very much, her heart belongs to you, so I have to be an adult."

? Seeing this, the local king announced loudly: "From now on, Duan Qing is the son-in-law of my toast and her husband, and she will get married some other day. From the date of marriage, the tax will be halved for one year. " The officers and men present were overjoyed, kowtowing and bowing in succession, congratulating in unison: "Congratulations to the local king for choosing a good husband! Thanks to Tu Wang Ende. " At that time, gongs and drums were loud, firecrackers were ringing, and there was jubilation.

? Everyone surrounded the king of the earth and returned to the palace. The local king said to Duan Qing, "Dear husband, I have announced this in public. Do you think you can get married as soon as possible? "

Duan Qing is like a dream at the moment, and I don't know how to answer at the moment.
