In Anyi County, no information can be hidden from the eyes of the city guards.
Not to mention that Liu Biao's mansion was in the wealthy area in the north of the city, and Wei Gong specifically ordered the city guards to strictly monitor it.
Wei Gong, as one of the parties involved in the execution of Liu Cong at that time, had always been extremely vigilant about Liu Biao's arrival.
As for Xu Huang, the executioner, he didn't bother to pay attention to anything about Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng. He was very busy with training recently.
Dingjunfang can be said to be the closest satellite city to the city gate in Anyi County, and it is also the largest satellite city.
Xu Huang raised the Pangu ax in his hand high, turned around and slashed horizontally. The huge force directly knocked away Hao Zhao, who was holding the ax in both hands.
"ah……"
Hao Zhao felt that his internal organs were about to explode, and he was already screaming in pain before he even hit the ground. This shows how powerful and heavy this move was.
'Bang' sound.
Hao Zhao fell to the ground and slipped a few steps away.
"Okay, it's my turn next."
Upon seeing this, Zhang Fei couldn't wait to pick up his Zhangba Snake Spear and rush forward to kill him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step forward, he was pulled back by Fei Yao and Hua Cun.
Fei Yao pointed at Hao Zhao, who was struggling to stand up on the ground, and said, "Yide, be patient. Xiao Zhao hasn't given up yet."
Xu Huang on the field also nodded slightly and praised: "Yes, although it is the first time to use a two-handed ax in actual combat, your reaction just now was very fast, and there was no trace of sloppiness between offense and defense. It can be seen that you have made a lot of progress recently."
Hao Zhao stood up with the weapon in both hands, looked at the two axes he had just received, shook his head helplessly and said: "It still doesn't work, Young Master is right, I am not suitable for such a heavy weapon now, it's because I am too naive. ."
Xu Ding, who was standing aside to watch the battle, heard the words and smiled and comforted: "The ax that breaks the army, the ax that breaks the army, the left axe, the ax that breaks the army, weighs thirty-six kilograms and four taels, and the right axe, the ax that rises to the dragon, weighs thirty-three kilograms and six taels, a total of seven Ten kilograms. It is already rare for you to have such physical strength at your age, so don’t be too harsh on yourself."
Hao Zhao is left-handed. Wei Cheng spent a lot of money to customize this set of two-handed axes from [Anal Alchemist] according to his own situation. Along with it, there was an eight-edged magic whip that was given to Le Jin. , a Dragon Beard Overlord Spear was given to Wen Chou.
"Brother Xu, there is no need to comfort me. I know that I still have a long way to go before I can become a competent soldier commander. In the days to come, I will work harder to practice and strive to gain everyone's recognition as quickly as possible. "
As the youngest member of the Longshan Army and one of the commanders appointed by Wei Qing, Hao Zhao was actually under a lot of pressure. Even if the people under him didn't think he needed to be very powerful, He still has strict demands on himself.
Being young, his strength is naturally low. Compared with people of the same age, Hao Zhao's physical fitness is already much higher, even better than that of many adults.
However, in the Longshan Army, where all members are specially selected from the best, his only advantage is height. In terms of strength and martial arts, he is undoubtedly the bottom...
Some people may say, just compare speed with others. You are young and have strong explosive power.
But everyone must not forget that the Longshan Army uses mountains as its armor. Several pieces of steel plate armor are added to the outside of the stab-resistant suit to resist blunt force attacks, as well as spacers to cushion the impact. The overall weight of the Longshan Armor has exceeded With a weight of fifty kilograms, what the Longshan Army wanted was not speed, but absolute defensive power.
Otherwise, the selection criteria would not give priority to height and physique, followed by strength and martial arts, because the latter two items can be improved through training.
"Okay, Hao Zhao is going to rest first, next."
Seeing that Hao Zhao was in good condition, Xu Huang nodded with satisfaction and motioned for him to watch the battle.
"Finally it's my turn. My spear has been thirsty for a long time." Zhang Fei laughed and raised his weapon and rushed forward.
Unlike Hao Zhao, Zhang Fei and Xu Huang were always fighting back and forth. The zhangba snake spear in his hand was growing longer and shorter, allowing him to advance to attack and retreat to defend. Xu Huang was also fighting heartily while resisting Zhang. Fei launched a fierce offensive while laughing and said: "Not bad, Yide, I went to the grassland and my moves became a bit unpredictable."
Zhang Fei shouted with a proud look on his face: "That's not true. I have been sparring with my second brother recently. These moves were taught to me by my second brother to deal with you, hahaha."
"Oh? It turned out to be Brother Yun's advice." Xu Huang suddenly realized.
Martial arts pays great attention to talent. People with talent, even if their own conditions are not good, can still defeat the weak with sharp moves. People without talent, even if they are tall and powerful, are not necessarily strong.
Of course, some people are not only born with stronger physiques than others, but also have extraordinary talents in understanding martial arts, such as: Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Chu... and Xu Huang. Xu Huang considers himself to be no weaker in understanding of martial arts. people.
The two fought for hundreds of rounds, each breathing heavily, before they stopped.
Sparring like today's is mainly to find out the shortcomings of each other and urge each other to improve together. Although Xu Huang has been winning several games in a row, he has not gained nothing.
On the contrary, in order to restrain him, Zhang Fei and others racked their brains, and Xu Huang also continued to improve his strength through repeated sparring.
"Let's come here today. The master is treating us to dinner tonight, so everyone should arrive early." Xu Huang walked to the water tank, washed his face and said.
Zhang Fei put his whole head into the water, drank a few sips of water, raised his head and asked, "You're so good, why do you want to treat me to a drink all of a sudden?"
Hao Zhao, who was cleaning up the place, heard this and raised his head with a smile, "I heard it's my wife's birthday. The young master said, if it's not a big deal, I'll just invite my acquaintances to drink and chat. Brother Chengtou also went to Longshan to pick up my father and me. Uncle Sanzhu, Aunt Manhua...many people are coming."
"It turns out it's Madam's birthday. So we should prepare some practical gifts." Yang Feng looked at Xu Huang and asked.
Xu Huang shook his head and said to everyone: "There is no need for a casual gift. You don't need this little thing. You can just go to the banquet on time."
Everyone looked at each other, and then nodded helplessly.
No wonder, Wei Cheng doesn’t have any good things?
The only things they can get away with are the rouge, gouache, gold and silver jewelry sold on the street. Those items are still Wei's business. The wife has no shortage at all, and the things they use are even better than those sold on the street. .
That night.
The Wei family's mansion is brightly lit.
Although Wei Cheng said that nothing could be done, the Wei family still symbolically invited some old friends from the aristocratic family.
Originally, women in this era did not have the habit of celebrating birthdays. Even if they did, only old ladies over fifty years old would celebrate their birthdays. As the saying goes: if the mother does not celebrate her birthday, this is the filial piety of her children.
However, Cai Yan's biological mother had passed away long ago, and it didn't matter that his current mother was Cai Yong's second wife.
Moreover, the Wei family also wanted to find a place to entertain the distinguished guests from afar. Unlike Wei Cheng, the Wei family, who was born in an aristocratic family, had to maintain the relationship with other aristocratic families and move around frequently so that the relationship would not become estranged.
At this time, Wei Cheng was entertaining the people of Haojia Village in the yard.
Hao Dadao came with several villagers and several elders from Wujia Village, many of whom were women who had a good relationship with Cai Yan at that time.
"Wow, Sister Xiaohua, do you usually live here?" Several girls from the village gathered together and looked around curiously.
Xiaohua is Fei Yao's wife and Cai Yan's personal bodyguard. At this time, she puffed up her chest proudly and said, "That's right, it is my duty to protect my wife. In order to facilitate my access, my wife allowed me to live in the mansion."
The eyes of the girls were full of envy. They were already very happy to live in the county town. Xiaohua actually moved directly into the Wei Mansion.
Yes, Xiaohua is a capable person, and her strength is no weaker than that of ordinary adult men. But they can't do it. They can only weave and embroider at home. Not to mention their strength, they are exhausted from carrying several buckets of water.
A girl next to her looked at the silent Xiao'e. Xiao'e was also the lady's maid at the beginning. Now, sister Hao Niang, who was also a maid, has already made a career, but Xiao'e stayed in the village to work.
I remember that Hao Niang wanted to take Xiao'e with her, but Xiao'e refused and had to stay in the village to wait for her father and brother, saying that it was not good at all, but they were her family after all.
Many people in the village said that Xiao'e was stupid, but only some lonely old people knew that Xiao'e was not stupid. This girl was a poor person. She just wanted to have a family.
They were all from the same village, so of course the girls would not laugh at Xiao'e's decision so cruelly. Seeing that Xiao'e was silent at this time, they took the initiative to change the topic and talked about the Longshan Army, which was in the limelight recently.
"Look, it's Xiao Zhao!"
Just as he was talking, several tall men walked in from the entrance of the courtyard, and their figures gave people a full sense of oppression.
As soon as Hao Zhao entered the door, he ran towards his father. Hao Dadao was greatly comforted. Looking at the growing Hao Zhao, lines of smiles appeared on his face.
Xu Huang and others also clasped their fists and saluted the villagers present, and then sat opposite Wei Cheng.
Among the crowd, Xiao'e's eyes fell on one of them, and her cheeks couldn't help but get hot.
As if he felt something in his heart, Hua Kun turned around and looked shy.
This scene happened to fall in Wei Cheng's eyes, and he teased: "Big-headed silver carp, how about it, do you want me to be a matchmaker for you?"
Everyone was stunned at first, and then they all grabbed Hua Cun to find out what was going on.
Hua Cong was interested in it and did not hide it. He told the story about how he fell in love with Xiao'e when he first met him in Haojia Village. There was no cliché plot. He was just queuing up in the cafeteria to get food. He fell in love with her. That’s all.
Hua Cun was originally a water bandit and had a generous temper. If he liked her, he would pursue her. First, he would watch Xiao'e's house and peek at others, and then he would often line up at the window where Xiao'e served food. Over time, he developed feelings for her.
Although Xiao'e's appearance is not absolutely beautiful, she still has the simplicity and elegance of the girl next door. With Hua Cun's big bald head, she is like a flower stuck in cow dung.
Several people joked about it, and Xiao'e's cheeks over there were already red and her head was buried on her chest.
The only reason is that Zhang Fei has such a loud voice, he teases Hua Cun Carp all the time, and he has to name them. I don’t know if he is trying to help, or if he is trying to embarrass Hua Cun Carp and Xiao’e.
On the women's side, the host was naturally Cai Yan. Hearing Zhang Fei mention Xiao'e's name, and seeing Hua Kun looking angrily wanting to challenge Zhang Fei to a duel, he asked Xiao'e like a mirror: "Captain Hua is a good man, Xiao'e, what do you think?"
Xiao'e knew that Cai Yan was interested in pulling strings. After hesitating for a moment, Xiao'e swallowed: "Back to madam, Brother Hua is very good. I'm afraid I'm not good enough for him. Besides, my family..."
Cai Yan stretched out his hand to hold her and comforted her: "In that case, I will ask my husband to ask Captain Hua what he means. If he is also interested, then I will tell you the matchmaker. Also, this will be your home from now on." , all of us are your family.”
"That's right, Mozi, you're such a stubborn girl." An aunt said.
Aunt Manhua also smiled and said: "Xiao'e, we will all be your family when the time comes. If the boy from the Hua family doesn't have three matchmakers and six betrothals, we won't agree, hahaha."
"Yes, yes, sister Xiao'e, I will help you beat him with a rolling pin when the time comes." Beating a son-in-law is a custom in some areas. Generally, only the bride's brothers and sisters will take action. The girl said this to get close to Xiao'e.
Xiao'e nodded movedly. She saw all the good things the villagers did to her. Ever since her father and younger brother ran away from home, she had been living alone. If her aunts and sisters hadn't often dragged her around to chat, she would have been alone. I'm afraid she has already become autistic.
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are gone.
Tonight is a special day, very special, very special.
Near the end, Wei Cheng led a group of big men to move boxes one by one from the warehouse.
Everyone gathered curiously, "Sir, what is this?"
Wei Cheng took out a box of matches from his arms, threw them to Zhang Fei and Hua Cun, and said, "You will know in a moment... Then, I leave it to you two. Be sure to fix it."
Zhang Fei and Hua Cun smiled at each other, holding the box and placing it in an open place.
Cha~
Hiss~
Bang bang bang...
The east wind blows thousands of flowers into the night, and even blows them down. The stars are like rain, the sky is green and the stars are shining brightly.
Brilliant fireworks lit up the stars in the night sky. People all over Anyi County ran out of their homes and stood on the roadside looking up at the beauty blooming in the starry sky.
This was Wei Cheng's eighteenth birthday gift specially prepared for Cai Yan, an unprecedented rain of fireworks.
After tonight, Cai Yan will be a big girl.
The couple had always been in name only, and Cai Yan had hinted several times, but Wei Cheng was unmoved. It wasn't that Wei Cheng couldn't do it, but that there was always a threshold in his heart that he couldn't overcome. In fact, he was feeling quite uncomfortable holding it in.
Now, this barrier is gone.
The long night is long, I have no intention of sleeping, there is no need to be reserved or cover up, everything is so logical.
After the fierce battle, the couple hugged each other. Wei Cheng's superb skills made Cai Yan feel pain and joy. Hot tears wet Wei Cheng's chest, and a pair of small hands scratched randomly on Wei Cheng's back.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"I've shed tears and it doesn't hurt yet."
"I'm so happy... Well, husband, will this allow me to have a baby?"
Wei Cheng was stunned, "It's hard to say, after all, it's only once."
"Ah... Then, do it again?"
"...That's fine."
