Time flies, time flies, and nine years have passed.
Early in the morning on the seventh day of November.
The sound of the broken gong is in the ears.
"Today, in front of the Changji wine shop on West Street, a nine-year-old man bravely fights Shatuo warriors, thrilling and exciting, not to be missed."
The immature children's voices resounded throughout Guzang City with the sound of horses' hooves and broken gongs from East Street to West Street, and from South Street to North Street.
Guzang City belongs to Liangzhou, Liangzhou belongs to Longyou Road, although this place is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but it is a mixed residence of Hu and Han.
Liangzhou, the metropolis of Hexi, with the West of Tibet, the right of the right countries, businessmen come and go, there is no stop, and Chang'an, Yangzhou and called the three major cultural and economic centers.
The Tang Dynasty established the country with martial arts, the people were fierce, and the rangers were rampant.
In the city, there are often Han and Hu fighting with each other, and generally as long as no one dies, the government will not interfere.
So, under the instigation of this passion, as long as there were idle people, after lunch, they all went to Xicheng in groups.
The crowd gathered more and more, and even alarmed the Governor's Mansion.
Shi Shi, the governor of the Governor's Mansion, immediately dispatched a team of government soldiers and rushed to West Street to maintain order to prevent the Hu people from causing chaos and the people from causing trouble.
In front of the Changji liquor store in the west of the city, it was an open land, which was originally a place for Han and Hu merchants to trade with each other, but because at the beginning of this year, Tuyuhun in the Western Regions wantonly plundered Shanzhou in the south of Liangzhou, and also slaughtered two counties.
Although the Tang Dynasty sent Duan Zhixuan, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, to lead the army to defeat Tuyuhun, the nomads were born to be good on horseback, and they fled when they were defeated, and they couldn't catch up.
But as soon as the Tang army retreated, Tugu Hun Fuyun often harassed the Tang border, and it was impossible to prevent it.
In desperation, the government thought of a way to prohibit Hanhu trade as a punishment.
So it's been empty for months.
But now, a wooden platform about two zhang square has already been erected here, and the curtain has been pulled up outside the wooden platform, and only the entrance and exit have been opened in the middle, and a bamboo curtain has been erected, but there are two strong Hu people guarding here.
On the left side of the bamboo curtain, there is a wooden sign, on which the book "five texts per person", a basket is placed on the side of the wooden card, and it is thought that it is the place where the people throw copper coins.
The people came while they were in a hurry, but they were stopped outside by a wooden sign, and the violent people had already started scolding.
"Straight Lady Thief", "Bird Servant", "Tian Shelang", anyway, as long as you can think of it, you can hear it.
It's just that I heard the sound of the broken gong ringing twice, and I didn't feel itchy in my heart.
If you want to make the people of the world not curious, this is probably more difficult than a rooster laying eggs.
In addition, the five coins are not a big amount of money after all, so some people began to throw copper coins in their eyes and entered the market.
If there is one, there will be two, and more and more people will start to invest money, so that even those who are scolding have to obediently invest money.
When I entered the ring, I saw a child standing in the ring, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but with a slippery habit on his face, which made people feel a feeling of love and hate.
I saw him say loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, boy Li Mu, this dragon and tiger battle is about to begin, but before it starts, I have a proposal, how about adding a lottery."
The sound in the hall was noisy, and no one answered his question.
"Choking" and "choking", a few gongs sounded, and the child also said to himself: "Bet on the nine-year-old man to win one to ten, and bet on the party warrior to win ten to one." ” "Buy a sign on both sides of the table where you want to play, the lower limit is ten wen, the upper limit is one hundred wen, and you can redeem it with the sign after the duel."
The joy of gambling is already deep-rooted in Datang, although the government does not allow it, but human nature is good at gambling, as long as it is not excessive, that is, turning a blind eye, not to mention the mixing of Han and Hu in Liangzhou, even if you want to ban it, you can't help it.
Seventy or eighty percent of the spectators bought chips to a greater or lesser extent.
A quarter of an hour later, the child on the stage, Li Mu, struck the gong a few times, making the scene much quieter.
"The dueling time is limited to two quarters of an hour, and if the time is up, there is no winner or loser, and a draw will be awarded."
"Now for the two duelists."
"Coming up from the left is my Tang Dynasty boy hero Li Yi, nine years old this year."
This child named Li Yi had two buns on his head, saying that he was nine years old, and he looked much taller than children of the same age, and he actually held a pair of hammers of about twenty catties and swung them a few times with ease.
Some people cheered loudly, presumably buying Li Yi to win.
"From the right comes up the Shatuo warrior Jushekler."
There was an uproar in the audience, all of them were more popular than people, and the difference between the two was too great.
No matter in terms of age, height, or strength, this is not a level.
This Zhu Xie Kler was more than two heads taller than Li Yi, holding an iron whip, and the weight was estimated to be comparable to Li Yi's iron hammer.
Those spectators who bet on the kid Li Yi wanted to be unpopular flocked to the lottery office again, asking if they could change it.
And on the stage, Li Mu, the original chief horn child, had already slammed the gong and shouted: "The duel begins" Zhu Shekler and Li Yi immediately hedged over, you came and went, and the attack was fierce.
The people are trying to be thrilling, and these two people are moving and kicking on the stage, so it's not lively.
What is surprising is that Li Yi is able to resist Zhu Xie Keler, and he does not lose color at all, which makes those spectators who were not optimistic about Li Yi begin to waver.

Others can be faked, but the sound of the hammer and the whip crashing can't be fake.
The sound of "bell, bell, bell" is endless.
"Innate divine power" and "Lu Bu's reincarnation" are endless.
Just when the people were watching with relish, Li Mu was yawning on the side, and his eyes kept aiming at the hourglass.
It's almost time.
Li Mu gave Li Yi a look at Li Yi, who was fighting.
Li Yi comprehended, suddenly shouted, and smashed forward with two hammers at the same time.
Li Yi has always been attacking with double hammers in turn, and at this time, the sudden double hammer attack forced Zhu Shekler to block with a horizontal whip and retreat at the same time.
The loud sound of "dang" brought the atmosphere into a climax.
The people in the audience became excited and shouted loudly: "Okay".
After Li Yi was blocked, he slammed his hands and struck out with a double hammer, forcing Zhu Shekler to retreat continuously.
After three or four rounds, Jushekler had retreated to the side of the stage.
Li Yi roared again, and Zhu Shekler habitually blocked with a horizontal whip, but he didn't want Li Yi to let go of the hammer with both hands, jumped up, and kicked his legs towards Zhu Shekler's waist and abdomen.
Zhu Shekler was caught off guard, was kicked to a stumble, stood unsteadily, and retreated again and again, not wanting to be standing on the edge of the stage for a long time, where could there be a place to step back and step on the air, fall off the ring, and fall on all fours.
The people in the audience "shhhhh On the stage, Li Mu sounded the broken gong at the right time, "bell".
"The duel is over, Li Yisheng wins."
The people scolded endlessly, most of them were scolding Zhu Shekler for being useless, and he couldn't even beat a child, but after all, it only cost five cents, and he dispersed in a huff.
There are also people who are in charge of the unpopular Li Yi, who happily went to get a lottery with a loss of ten and went home happily. 。
Half an hour later, somewhere in the West City, the fallen Jushekler was hiding behind a wall, constantly probing, as if waiting for someone.
At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from behind him and slapped him on the shoulder.
Zhu Shekler hurriedly turned around, only to see Li Mu and Li Yi standing behind him, Li Mu blinked his eyes and asked with a grin: "Wait a minute?"
"Hey, hey."
Jushekler chuckled dryly.
"Here, this is the five times that I said it."
Li Mu smiled and handed over a burden.
Zhu Shekler immediately smiled with a spring breeze, and the skin dried by the wind and sand outside the plug was squeezed even more wrinkled, and he could not tell that he was only a seventeen-year-old boy at all.
"That's so embarrassing, that's embarrassing."
But he had already snatched the burden in his hand, and gently weighed the weight, feeling that it was almost there, so he thanked him: "Thank you, Dalang." ” Li Mu nodded and said, "Of course, we will share the blessings." ” Zhu Shekler replied "yes" and "yes".
After a pause, Jushekler exclaimed, "The sun always sets in the desert, and the wounded hero is tired of fighting. ” "Can you talk well?"
Zhu Shekler said to Li Mu with some melancholy: "Brother, I'm leaving." ” Li Mu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where to go?"
"Go back to Jinsa Mountain."
"Didn't you say that your half-brother wanted to harm you and never go back?"
"Recently, I met a clansman who came to do business, and said that my father was seriously ill."
Zhu Shekler looked in the direction of his hometown in the northwest and said gloomily, "I miss home." ” "You're not afraid that your black-hearted brother will secretly harm you" "The dark clouds on the prairie can stretch for thousands of miles, and God knows which clouds will rain."
"Uh, human talk."
Li Mu was not as tall as Zhu Xie Kele, so he could only pinch his arm and comfort: "It won't be in the way if you think about it, it's okay for you to go back and take a look."
When your father recovers, you come back, and we can make money together. ” Zhu Shekler shook his head and said in a firm tone: "I have thought about it, I will not come back this time, I will fight for what I deserve." ” Li Mu was a little surprised in his heart, but he could understand it when he thought about it, and cheered for Zhu Xie Keler and said: "It should be like this, don't offend people, but don't let people bully." ” Zhu Shekler looked at Li Mu, then at Li Yi, and said with a smile in his eyes: "I have been able to intersect with the two of you in the past two years, and I am like brothers."
Say goodbye today, I don't know when we will see each other again" He suddenly suggested, "Otherwise, you go with me."
Li Mu shook his head and said: "My parents are here, not far away, and my brothers are still young, I'm afraid they can't accompany each other."
I don't know when you're going to leave."
With some disappointment on his face, Juchekler replied, "I'll leave immediately." ” Li Mu took out five copper coins from Li Yi's back again, stuffed them into Zhu Xie Kele and said: "The poor family is rich, bring more entanglement, this is a little bit of the heart of my two brothers, I hope don't shirk." ” Zhu Shekler was a little moved, he took the copper coin and said: "If there is a day when we meet, I will share the blessings with the two of you and say goodbye." ” After saying that, he turned his head and left.
Li Mu and the others watched Zhu Shekler leave
