The children of the Xiang family descended from the mountain like tigers and rushed to Li's wooden ware.
The four people from Li's Woodwork gathered together and waited with gritted teeth.
Xiang Yu took the lead and punched the person on the opposite side. The man stretched out his hand to block, but Xiang Yu had been learning how to kill people and how to deal with enemies since he was a child. Therefore, in his eyes, these Qian Shou's tricks are just playing house.
Before the man could block his fist, Xiang Yu had already kicked him out, hitting the man's calf. The man staggered a step, was kicked by Xiang Yu again, and immediately fell to the ground.
Xiang Yu was so proud that he turned around and started beating others.
As a result, as soon as he turned around, Qian Shou, who had fallen to the ground, got up again and rushed over like a wild bull.
Xiang Yu frowned, and with some effort, knocked him down again. After being knocked down, he got up again...
At this time, not only Xiang Yu couldn't accept it, but the Xiang family's children also shouted: "They don't seem to be afraid of pain."
Li's carpenter grinned and smiled honestly: "In the past, there was a famine. I was very hungry and stole the rich man's chicken. We four brothers were punished with hard labor. We were whipped and beaten with sticks every day. We endured all these. . Your three punches and two kicks are nothing."
Xiang Yu: "..."
He yelled in annoyance, rushed to Qian Shou, punched and kicked him.
Although Qian Shou's body is not as flexible as Xiang Yu's, he is a big man after all and will find ways to fight back. Among the three or five punches, one punch always hits Xiang Yu.
After Xiang Yu got punched, he grinned: It really hurts. These farmers are so strong.
The Li's wooden weapons opposite him were not much better. Although they were relatively strong in resisting beatings, they were ordinary humans after all, and they were still a little bit intolerable after receiving too many beatings.
While dodging Xiang Yu's fist, the Guizhou head grinned and thought: This young man's punches are so fierce. He looks young, but looks like a young man. Why is he so powerful? If I let him grow longer, wouldn't he kill me?
Soon, some of the Xiang family members could no longer hold on. After all, not everyone is born with magical powers like Xiang Yu. What's more, they have been suffering from diarrhea for the past few days and their energy has not been restored. As the fight lasted longer, I felt my body getting weaker and weaker.
Although the Li family's wooden weapon could not hold on any longer, the Xiang family's children felt that they might be the first to fall.
Xiang Xian shouted from the side: "We are going to be defeated. What can we do?"
Xiang Yu glared at him angrily, and then said to the others: "Scatter."
The other two Xiang descendants understood Xiang Yu's secret message, and the three of them immediately fled to the side. The people from Li's Carpentry followed closely behind.
Xiang Xian was left standing there struggling to support himself.
Chunyu Yue stroked his beard and said in confusion: "Isn't this a competition of martial arts? Why is it a competition of speed again?"
He turned around and said to Li Shui: "Exiled Immortal, this Damai team has already failed, right?"
Li Shui smiled and shook his head: "You are defeated when you fall to the ground and cannot get up."
Chunyu Yue frowned: "You avoid fighting and run away like crazy. Isn't this considered defeat?"
Li Xin stared at Xiang Yu's group and whispered: "If they had weapons in their hands, ten Li's wooden weapons would also be dead."
Li Shui hummed. Xiang Yu and those people are soldiers after all. Soldiers pay attention to killing people as quickly as possible. They are not used to fighting with bare hands.
Li Xin said to Li Shui again: "Xiang Yu is going to win."
Li Shui asked curiously: "Why do you see it?"
Li Xin said: "The Damai team is as light as an ape, and Li's wooden weapon is as heavy as an ox. If they compete face to face, Li's wooden weapon is extremely difficult to defeat. But now, Xiang Yu has fully taken advantage of his light body and speed."
Li Shui was confused when he heard this, but soon he understood what Li Xin meant.
Xiang Yu and several others led the pursuers behind and fled far away.
Suddenly they shouted in unison, turned around, and kicked the person behind them down.
This time, they did not continue to compete with the people behind them, but ran towards Xiang Xian together.
The Xiang family's children were so fast that when they returned to Xiang Xian, the Li family's woodworker had just gotten up from the ground.
Then, one to four of the Xiang family members began to beat the remaining unlucky guy in a group.
In just a moment, the man was knocked to the ground and no longer had the strength to get up.
There were three Li's wooden weapons left on the field. The number of people became smaller and they were immediately at a disadvantage.
Xiang Yu sent out two men to restrain the two Li's Woodworkers.
Then send two more people to focus on knocking down the lone one.
Li's Woodware was quickly defeated.
Seeing this, everyone present was amazed. It turns out that fighting can still lead to such tricks.
Among the people watching, some people asked about Xiang Yu's name and learned that he was called Liu Ji.
So many people shouted loudly for Liu Ji with affection.
After Xiang Yu heard the word Liu Ji, he felt a little happy: Fortunately, they no longer call him Damai.
However, the name Liu Ji was stolen after all. It would be better if they could call him by his real name. But Xiang Yu also understood that this was just his own random thoughts. My real name must not be revealed to anyone.
He stood on the martial arts field, leading the Xiang family's children, looking at the people around him with a proud expression.
Suddenly, Xiang Yu found that in a corner, there were seven or eight people shouting Liu Ji the loudest.
He turned his head and looked over there, and found several sturdy village women calling his name and looking at him with salivation, as if they were going to eat Xiang Yu alive.
Xiang Yu was frightened and turned away quickly, cursing in his heart: Qin people are really no different from barbarians, these village women are so shameless. I heard that Huaiguzi was still in court encouraging women to leave the house. If this is true, wouldn’t these shameless women be even more powerful? By then, everything will be in chaos.
While Xiang Yu was thinking wildly, the entire competition was gradually over.
A quarter of an hour later, Takumi announced the result. There are three teams selected to be the guards of Shangjun Courtyard.
One is barley pastry. The second one is Li's woodware. The third one is Zhou's rice shop.
Zhou Qingchen proudly said to the people around him: Zhou's rice shop is the property of my people.
The surrounding courtiers looked envious, but they felt a little sour in their hearts: What is there to be proud of? Being a merchant is nothing but a lowly profession...
Gao Jianli was pushed out again to beat the drum. At the same time, several beauties came over holding swords and held these swords one by one into the arms of the winning team members. With this sword, you can become a guard.
When had the people of Qin ever seen this? Not only the victorious Guizhou leader, but also the people watching around felt thirsty after seeing the beauty.
Li Shui ran down from the stands with a smile on his face, walked up to the three teams, and encouraged them.
The children of the Xiang family all felt warm in their hearts. But soon their rationality gained the upper hand, and they remembered that the person opposite them was the big enemy they wanted to kill. So they forced their hearts to cool down again.
"Well, it would be great if the banished immortal was our friend." Many Xiang family members sighed in their hearts.
Xiang Yu naturally saw their changes in his eyes and was furious. When he looked at Huaiguzi, he was looking at a dead man. It's just that now there are so many people and it's not convenient to do anything.
After the simple welcome ceremony, the three teams were taken down. The entire selection meeting ends here.
Li Shui accompanied Ying Zheng again and wanted to send him back to the palace. However, Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said to Li Shui: "I will just go back by myself. Your Shangjun Courtyard seems to be busy with affairs. Just stay and do your own thing."
Li Shui responded, sent Ying Zheng, Wei Yang and his party to the gate of Xianyang City, and then hurried back to Shangjun Villa.
At this time, the officials had just left. They were discussing in groups of twos and threes with their heads lowered. The topic was all about the game just now.
When several people saw Li Shui coming, they walked over and said with emotion: "Exiled Immortal, today is an eye-opener for us."
Li Shui grinned: "Thank you, thank you. There will be a similar event next time. Xiaoxian also invites everyone to come."
The courtiers were surprised and delighted, and asked, "What else?"
Li Shui said: "Of course there are. Shang Jun's Villa has to choose some guards from time to time. Through this experiment, I found that the people in Xianyang seem to like watching it. In this case, I will have to use discretion next time I come here. Collect some tickets.”
As soon as these courtiers heard this, they turned around and left without even asking the price.
Li Shui sighed: "What's the point? Don't you need to spend money to watch the game? Although the cakes are sponsored by Damai, several cases are sponsored by Li, and the meals are sponsored by Zhou. But I also..."
Li thought for a while and said confidently: "But I also built a high platform. Is it too much to charge you a little admission fee?"
Unfortunately, the courtiers had gone far away and no one heard this.
After the courtiers left, the merchants headed by Damai came over. They all saluted Li Shui and said with gratitude: "Thank you for banishing the immortal. If it hadn't been for banishing the immortal, how could we be here today."
Li Shui naturally knew why they thanked them. Li Shui had anticipated this scene as early as when he was soliciting sponsorship.
He smiled at the vendors and encouraged them sincerely: "When you are doing business, you must treat people with sincerity and maintain your reputation. You must never shoddy goods or leave something short of a good one."
The vendors all nodded in agreement.
Li Shui added: "Don't think that you are inferior to others because you are a merchant, and start belittling yourself. Now that I am an immortal, I can do some business to make money, let alone you?"
When the vendors heard this, their eyes lit up.
Li Shui patted Damai on the shoulder: "Don't pay attention to other people's rumors. They are all jealousy. Just like me, how many people in Xianyang City are jealous of me? They slander me, but I smile slightly and don't care at all. "
When Damai and others heard this, their waists straightened unconsciously.
Li Shui said a few words to them and then went about his own business.
At this time, the cows from Shangjun's courtyard came over again and said to them: "Everyone cooperated once, and the effect was not bad. This time, you took the initiative to sponsor, which shows your character. In the words of the banished immortal, you and Shangjun are different. The hospital can also be regarded as a partner.”
Niu Calf pointed at the door: "I am the doorkeeper all year round. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me at the door. I will never refuse to help you to the best of my ability."
The vendors all shed tears of gratitude.
Niu Dao smiled and said to them: "We are all from poor backgrounds, so we should help each other out. Banished Immortal often said that our Shangjun Courtyard is driven by the rich first and then the rich later."
The vendors kept saying yes.
After a short period of contact, the traders also discovered a phenomenon. That is the craftsman of Shangjun Courtyard. They often say a colloquial saying: Just as the banished immortal said...
After saying this colloquial phrase, there will be golden sentences to banish immortals.
These traders were extremely envious. They felt that when they said this colloquial phrase, they were simply the confidants of the banished immortals. They were so arrogant and classy.
Consciously or unconsciously, they also began to imitate. When talking to people, I always like to say: Just as the banished immortal said...
After bidding farewell to the calf, Damai and the others left the Shangjun Courtyard one after another to prepare for the next thing.
At today's grand event, each of them received an order. The next few days will be very busy.
Damai and his wife discussed as they walked: "This time we sponsored Junbieyuan and spent all the family's savings. But it doesn't matter, just the deposit from the rich and powerful can be made back several times."
Lady Damai nodded excitedly: "I have just calculated the account. The deposit is enough for us to make pastries. When they give us the remaining money, it will be pure profit."
Damai and his wife looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement: "This time, I'm going to make a fortune."
Damai sighed with emotion: "These powerful and powerful people are really rich. They are so generous. An order of cakes costs several hundred kilograms."
Lady Damai also said with emotion: "The banished immortal is really a god. He is much more effective than other gods."
Damai said to his wife: "Let's go back home first, buy some noodles, and then recruit people to make pastries."
Lady Damai nodded and quickened her pace.
…………
Xiaofeng Village is more than ten miles away from Xianyang City.
There was a woman in the village looking towards Xianyang City with a sad look on her face.
She is Damai's mother.
Damai's mother has been lonely all her life. She is only in her forties now, but she looks like she is sixty.
Damai’s sponsor, Junbieyuan, was not told to her. She saw Damai and her daughter-in-law making so many pastries early in the morning, and thought the business was getting better and better.
Unexpectedly, neighbors came in one after another today, saying that Damai had lost his mind and gone crazy, and even used all his money to help the banished immortal. Now everything is ruined.
The woman was startled by them and asked repeatedly what was going on.
These neighbors also heard about it and did not know the details. When he saw the woman asking, he started making up random things.
Some people say that Damai’s daughter-in-law believed deeply in the Immortal and was obsessed with it, so she wanted to use money to pay tribute to the Immortal so that the Immortal could protect her from illness and disaster and live forever.
Some people said that Damai was deceived by the people in the city and signed a deed of betrayal in a daze, and then gave away all his belongings.
Others said that the banished immortal was threatening all the merchants in the city and asking them to give up their money. Some traders were more sophisticated and sought help from senior officials, thus keeping their money. But Damai is not good, he is weak and can only be bullied by others.
After hearing these words, the woman suddenly became dizzy and almost fainted several times.
These neighbors pretended to pour her a bowl of water, comforting her while appreciating her miserable condition. After being satisfied, they left happily.
Xiaofeng Village is not rich, and everyone lives a very average life. Well now, there is a worse one. As long as you appreciate the Damai family, you will be satisfied, why not?
The woman stood at the door and looked at the empty space in the distance. She couldn't help but sigh and staggered back into the house.
As a result, as soon as she returned home, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
The woman was surprised and happy, and stood up quickly, only to find that the person coming was Uncle Wu.
Everyone in the village has the same surname, and they all have the same ancestors for several generations. This fifth uncle has a prosperous family and lives a very prosperous life, which is known in the village. It's a bit like the meaning of a village chief or a clan leader.
After the fifth uncle arrived, he immediately directed the few people following him: "Take that cow away immediately. Take those sheep away as well. You two, take a look, is there any food? Carry them all back."
The woman rushed out of the house, stopped Fifth Uncle and said, "What are you doing in broad daylight?"
Uncle Wu said impatiently: "What do you, a woman, know? Your barley offended the Immortal and wrote a deed of betrayal. From now on, he and his wife will be slaves. Everything in his house will be taken away. It was confiscated. Considering that we all have the same ancestor, I hurriedly hide it for you at the risk."
"Otherwise, the people who ransack your home will come after a while. Not even a tile will be left for you. By then, just wait for the wind to go to you."
At this point, the fifth uncle said to the two young men: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you take away the bundle of firewood in the yard?"
The two young men thought it was a bit much: "Do you want to take Chai away too?"
Uncle Wu said: "Of course I have to take it away. Their family has no food. What are they doing with the firewood?"
