"Okay!" Seeing Xu Hu agree, the martial arts instructor was overjoyed.
Didn't this man kill two Xirong generals? If you lose to yourself, it will be embarrassing!
The two immediately got into a stance, and the crowd dispersed naturally, leaving enough space for the two of them.
With the commotion here, many officials and guests were also attracted and gathered around to watch.
"This..." Liang Yuan still wanted to persuade him, but the martial arts instructor had already yelled, grabbed Xu Hu's clothes, and got into a posture, ready to knock him to the ground.
Pull hard, pull again!
But no matter how hard he tried, Xu Hu wouldn't move at all.
ah? The martial arts leader had a look of surprise in his eyes. He just yelled and was about to use all his strength, but Xu Hu had already grabbed his shoulder and pushed him hard.
It was such a simple action, without any fancy, but the martial arts instructor couldn't help but screamed, retreated repeatedly, bumped into the crowd, caused a commotion, and then sat down on the ground.
He was a little dumbfounded.
"Okay!" The onlookers couldn't help but cheer.
The martial arts leader was so embarrassed that his face turned red and he couldn't stand up for a long time. At this time, his master You Jian had already arrived.
Seeing that his people were being bullied and there were so many people watching, You Jian couldn't stand it anymore. His face was gloomy. After glancing at the martial arts instructor on the ground, he pointed at Xu Hu and shouted sternly:
"Bold! Little slave! How dare you make trouble for no reason on Master Zhong's birthday!"
He was completely distorting the facts. It was the martial arts instructor who insisted on stepping on him and was stepped on. Xu Hu said dullly: "It was him who competed, not me who caused the trouble."
"How presumptuous!" You Jian was furious: "You little slave! Why don't you kneel down and admit your mistake in front of this general!"
Let Xu Hu kneel to him? How is the latter possible!
But it can also be seen that You Jian is a powerful person, so he couldn't help but said dullly: "My lord, don't let me cause trouble."
You Jian was extremely angry and was about to scold him again when a steady male voice suddenly came from behind him:
"This is my Qinzhou general Xu Hu! Who are you talking about as a slave?"
Following the words, Xiao Yuan walked up to Xu Hu with a gloomy face, patted his shoulder and said: "Whoever dares to insult you again, pick up your sword and chop off his head!"
"Yes!" Xu Hu immediately responded with a trembling voice. Xiao Yuan's appearance made his heart warm and his waist straightened even more!
"Prefect Qin?" You Jian said in a solemn voice, because most of the guests had met him before, and he knew Xiao Yuan when the chaos was quelled.
The crowd watched.
Xiao Yuan looked at You Jian coldly: "He is mine. If you insult him, you are insulting me! I am standing here now, you try to humiliate another one!"
He is the highest official in Qin, with the same third rank as Zheng, and is at the same level as You Jian, but the latter is a capital official.
But this power still made You Jian swallow subconsciously. After calming down, he said: "This general has no intention of humiliating the Qin governor. Please don't misinterpret it."
"Hmph!" Xiao Yuan snorted coldly, "Today is Mr. Zhong's birthday party. I don't want to argue with you."
You Jian was extremely angry. It was not that he was afraid of Xiao Yuan, but that he was suppressed by the momentum just now and was about to get angry, but someone unexpectedly beat him to it.
"Wait!"
The speaker was Lu Qi, the son of Lu Bolin. When he saw Xiao Yuan and Xu Hu were leaving, he said with a smile:
"I have heard a little about the name of Xirong Gule. Since General Qin can behead this man, he must be brave enough to be worthy of all men. I would like to see him."
His tone was relaxed and even more playful.
Xiao Yuan frowned secretly when he heard this. He knew in his heart that he was the governor of Qinzhou, which was a frontier fortress. He was also a commoner and was not popular with others. Some officials had ridiculed him before. If he hadn't taken Zhong Bai's face into consideration, he would have been killed long ago. The crime started.
At today's banquet, even if there is no martial arts instructor You Jian, even if there is no Lu Qi, there will definitely be others looking for trouble with him!
Thinking of this, he stopped and turned around to look at Lu Qi: "What do you want, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Qi smiled and said, "In this case, there is a hero in my house who can carry a cauldron and is the most brave man in the capital. Now that I heard about the bravery of General Qin, I am quite dissatisfied and would like to compare his strength to see the difference."
"Is this necessary?"
"I think Governor Qin will definitely not say "dare"." Lu Qi wanted to provoke the general.
"Haha." Xiao Yuan smiled, knowing that he was an aggressive general, so he just followed the pole.
"Sir!" At this time, Xu Hu couldn't help it. He only recognized Xiao Yuan in his heart, and naturally he refused to let him walk away in despair in front of the public.
Xiao Yuan whispered in his ear: "Then let's scare them in one fell swoop to prevent them from harassing us again."
"Promise!" Xu Hu immediately clasped his fists.
"How do you want to compare?"
"Everyone, please take a look."
As Lu Qi spoke, he also pointed to the back of the crowd, and at the same time shouted: "Bring it in!"
Following his words, a huge stone statue was laboriously picked in by a dozen strong men.
People gave way.
When the strong men were sweating profusely and finally carried the stone statue over, Lu Qi explained again: "This is a longevity statue. It is a birthday gift for Mr. Zhong. If anyone can move this stone with his own strength, the one with more steps will do it." To win, how about that? Fair, right?"
As he said that, he smiled and said: "The most important thing is not to hurt your kindness."
"Okay! This kind of competition can also be an eye-opener for everyone..."
"Yes, General Xiao, please accept Mr. Lu..."
The crowd was booing. At this moment, the young men carrying the stone statues seemed to be unable to bear it anymore. Someone tilted their feet, and the stone statues suddenly hit the ground with a roar.
A big man next to Lu Qi immediately stared, then hugged the stone statue with both hands and helped it up.
The stone statue weighed less than a thousand kilograms, but he was able to lift it up with his own strength. Everyone was shocked. Lu Qi glared at a group of young men: "This is a birthday gift for Mr. Zhong. If there is any damage, please wait." No one is safe!"
All the young men were silent, and then began to remove the ropes from the stone statue.
Then, starting from the big man, he used all his strength to lift the stone statue with all his strength, veins in his neck bulging, his face red and thick, and he moved it forward step by step.
Surprises spread.
Lu Qi looked relaxed and looked at Xiao Yuan and Xu Hu playfully.
On the field, the big man walked very hard. Every step he took seemed to require great effort.
His legs were also trembling slightly.
Finally, after more than ten steps, he couldn't bear it anymore and put the stone statue on the ground with a loud bang, panting and sweating profusely.
"Sir." The big man gasped and saluted.
"Yes." Lu Qi waved his hand, and then looked at Xiao Yuan confidently, with a hint of provocation.
Xiao Yuan ignored him and gestured directly to Xu Hu.
The latter understood, and without any delay, he quickly stepped forward, hugged his arms, and then took a strong breath and forced the stone statue to resist!
Then, he turned around and asked Xiao Yuan: "Sir, where do you put it?"
"Put it in the inner courtyard." Xiao Yuan smiled.
"Yes!" Xu Hu answered seriously. Although it was just as strenuous, it was nothing compared to the previous big man.
He was carrying the stone statue. Although he was not walking very fast, his steps were steady.
After walking out of here, head to the inner courtyard.
The floor under his feet also showed subtle traces as he stepped...
Everyone was shocked!
Jaw-dropping!
Silence!
Lu Qi stared blankly at Xu Hu's back, his Adam's apple slipped, and he swallowed hard.
It wasn't until a while that people finally reacted, and then they hurriedly followed Xu Hu.
The Bell Mansion is very large. It takes at least a hundred steps from here to the inner courtyard.
The crowd watched all the way and followed him to the inner courtyard, where Xu Hu put down the stone statue.
The whole audience was astonished!
Even later history books have detailed records:
In the seventh year of Emperor Ping's reign, on the occasion of Zhong's father's birthday, the tiger followed the Lord. There were many people who were looking for trouble and made sarcastic remarks to the Lord. The tiger was furious, so he used the strength of a thousand catties to resist the huge boulder and walked a hundred steps, intimidating the whole audience. Everyone was shocked. Don't take it for granted, sigh as a god...
