It is said that Yue Fei and his sworn brothers Niu Gao, Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, and Wang Gui, after completing the martial arts examination in the county and state, they are ready to go to Beijing to take the martial arts championship.
The day before going to Beijing, Yue Fei and his brothers went to Xiangzhou Jiedu Liu Duyuan to say goodbye. Liu Duyuan had the intention of promoting Yue Fei, so he wrote a letter and introduced him to Zong Ze, the generalissimo of the country.
The five of them came to Tokyo and stayed at an inn. Yue Fei immediately took Liu Duyuan's letter and went to Zong Ze alone. When Yue Fei came to the yamen left behind, he said to the flag officer: Please report it, saying that the martial saint Yue Fei wants to see the eldest master. 』
After the flag officer reported, he came out and shouted: Yue Fei, the eldest lord called you, come in with me. 』
Yue Fei followed the flag officer, until he reached the lobby, knelt down and said: The eldest master is above, and the martial saint Yue Fei kowtows. As he spoke, he handed over the letter to him from Liu Duyuan and sent it with both hands.
Zong Ze read the letter, slapped the table, and shouted: Yue Fei, how much did you pay to buy this letter?Honestly, if there is a half-lie, beware of the sticks!』
Yue Fei saw that Zong Ze was angry, and said unhurriedly: Wu is a native of Tangyin County, worshiped Zhou Tong in Shaanxi Province as his stepfather, learned martial arts and wanted to come here to ask for a background and establish a career for the country, so what about the silver given to Master Liu?』
When Zong Ze heard this, he said to Yue Fei: You come with me to the Arrow Hall. After saying that, he took Yue Fei to the Arrow Hall.
Zong Ze sat down and asked Yue Fei, "What kind of bow do you usually use?"Yue Feidao: Wu Sheng can shoot a hard bow of 300 catties and shoot more than 200 steps. 』
When Zong Ze heard this, he asked the sergeant to hand over the Divine Arm Bow he used to Yue Fei, and Yue Fei took it and pulled it, which was very handy. Yue Fei was full of joy, and was busy stretching his bow and arrows, nine arrows in a row, and the branches were in the red hearts.
Zong Ze was overjoyed when he saw it, and asked him what kind of weapon he was used toYue Fei replied: Wusheng can use all the **, but what he is used to using is a gun. Zong Ze ordered the sergeant to carry out his steel spear.
Yue Fei took the steel gun, swung the gun, and made thirty-six turns and seventy-two changes. Zong Ze saw it, and he didn't even claim to be good.
Yue Fei finished, his face was not red, he was not panting, he gently leaned the gun to the side, and knelt down in the hall. Zong Ze helped him up with both hands and said: I only said that you paid to buy officials, how do you know that you really have real talent and learning, please sit down. 』
The two talked to each other for a while, and Zong Ze couldn't help but sigh and said. You're not at a coincidence!Yue Fei hurriedly asked him what he meant by this
When Zong Ze asked, he said that Xiaoliang Wang Chai Gui was also going to come to seize the champion, and Zhang Bangchang, the prime minister of the examination, Wang Duo of the military department, and Zhang Jun, the governor of the right army, all accepted his benefits and promised to say what the champion gave him. Bing Yue Fei heard this, and hurriedly asked Zong Ze to uphold justice.
Zong Ze hesitated, so he had to say: Yue Fei, this matter is a little troublesome, you go back first, and then talk about it when the exam is over. Yue Fei had no choice but to retreat quickly.
Yue Fei returned to the inn and told the story of the stay of the sect, but Chai Gui did not mention the matter of Chai Gui wanting to grab the champion. On the day of the entrance exam, Brother Yue Fei got up on the fourth watch, had dinner, and got on the horse to go to the school.
When the brothers arrived at the school, they saw the martial arts students from all provinces, who came first and who came last, and it was crowded with people. At dawn, all the heroes have arrived.
Soon, Zhang Bangchang, Wang Duo, and Zhang Jun, the three main exams, entered the school field together and sat down in the martial arts hall.
Zong Ze thought to himself: The three of them have made up their minds, this champion must be given to King Xiaoliang, it is better to call him up and test him first. asked the flag official to announce Chai Gui to come up.
Chai Gui heard the call, agreed, walked to the martial arts hall, arched his hand upward, and stood aside to listen to the order, Zong Ze couldn't help but be secretly angry when he saw that he didn't kneel.
Zong Ze asked him: Since you came to take the exam, why didn't you kneel in the hall?What good is it for you to let the vassal king not do it, but come to grab the champion?King Liang was beaten by Zong Ze, so he had to bow his head and kneel.
It turned out that King Liang was bent on seizing the Song Dynasty, and now he wants to be a martial champion, which means to facilitate his actions. Now that he was asked by Zong Ze, **What do you have to answer?
Zhang Bangchang saw that King Liang was speechless, and thought to himself: Old man Zongze bullied me like this, wait for me to call his protégé to come up and scold him, so that I can get angry. It was called the flag official Xuan Yue to fly to the hall.
When Yue Fei heard the call, he hurriedly agreed to go to the hall, and when he saw King Liang kneeling in front of Zong Ze, he knelt in front of Zhang Bangchang and kowtowed.
Zhang Bangchang asked: Are you Yue Fei?Yue Fei agreed. Zhang Bangchang said: I don't think your appearance is particularly good, what skills do you have, if you want to be the champion?』
Yue Fei said: How do I want to be the champion!Today, there are thousands of people in the field, all of whom have come to take the exam, which one doesn't want to be the champion?In fact, there is only one champion, and each of them will be the championI'm just going to give it a try as usual. 』
When Zhang Bangchang saw him answer like this, he said, "That's fine." Test the skills of the two of you first, and then test the others. I ask you, what do you use?Yue Fei replied that it was a gun.
Zhang Bangchang asked Liang Wangdao again: What do you use?King Liang replied that it was a knife. Zhang Bangchang ordered Yue Fei to write a "gun theory" and Liang Wang to write a "knife theory."
The two received the order, and on both sides of the martial arts hall, they set up tables and pens to make articles.
King Liang's knowledge was originally fine, but because he was told by Zong Ze, he was so angry that he was dizzy and wrote a knife character, but he didn't realize that it was out of his head, and it was like a force character, and he was in a hurry, and he couldn't write it even more.
Soon, Yue Fei had come up to hand in the papers. If King Liang wanted to come, he had to come up and hand in the papers.
Zhang Bangchang first took a look at King Liang's roll and put it in his sleeve;Looking at Yue Fei's article again, I couldn't help but be secretly surprised: It turns out that this person's knowledge is indeed good, no wonder the old man of the sect likes him. 』
Although he thought so in his heart, he still shouted loudly on the surface: Such an article is also here to grab the champion!He threw the roll down and shouted, "Fork out!."』
The sergeants on both sides rushed up and were about to make a move, but Zong Ze shouted, Don't do it!When they saw Zong Ze say this, whoever dared to disobey the order would stand together.
Zong Ze instructed: Show me Yue Fei's scroll. The sergeant was afraid of Zhang Bangchang's scolding, you look at me, I look at you, I don't dare to pick it up. Yue Fei had to take the roll himself and give it to Zong Ze.
Zong Ze took the scroll and looked at it, it was really a good article, and secretly thought: This traitor is so light and profitable. Without saying a word, he put the roll in his sleeve.
Seeing this, Zhang Bangchang couldn't help but say angrily: Yue Fei, don't say that your article is not good, now do you dare to compare arrows with King Liang?Yue Fei said: Master order, who dares not to compare!』
Zong Ze secretly rejoiced in his heart: If you compare arrows, this good thief will be fooled He ordered the sergeant to place the arrow target a hundred or so steps away.
King Liang saw that the target was far away, so he said to Zhang Bangchang: Chai Gui's bow is soft, let Yue Fei shoot first. Zhang Bangchang asked Yue Fei to go down the steps and shoot first.
Zhang Bangchang secretly instructed the people who followed him to move the target to two hundred and forty paces away, so that Yue Fei would not dare to shoot, so that he could drive him out.
Who knew that Yue Fei was not in a hurry, stood still, and opened his bow and arrows;A series of nine branches. I saw that the one who waved the flag couldn't shake it, and the one who beat the drum beat his hands sore.
The archery officer brought the nine arrows and the arrow target into the hall together, and said, "This man has very good archery skills, and all nine arrows go from one hole." Zhang Bangchang didn't wait for him to finish, and shouted: Nonsense!Don't take it down yet!』
King Liang thought: "The arrow is better than him, it is not as good as his competition, let me impress him with words, tell him to fail, and give me the champion." But if he refuses, I will take advantage of the situation and kill him, lest he will ask me for my life.
He had already made up his mind, so he said: Yue Fei's arrows have all been shot, if I am also hit, what is the way to distinguish between high and low?It's not as good as him. When Zhang Bangchang heard this, he ordered Yue Fei to compete with King Liang.
King Liang walked down the hall, got on the horse, carried a gold-backed machete, patted the horse and stood in the middle of the school yard first, shouting: Yue Fei, come up and see the knife!』
Although Yue Fei is strong in martial arts, he is afraid that he is a vassal king, so he does not dare to fight;Barely getting on the horse, slowly too lazy to step forward.
Thousands of people who came to take the test and came to see Yue Fei in the school field saw Yue Fei's situation, and they all said: This person is the opponent of King Liang, and he must lose!』
Zong Ze was also secretly anxious: He became timid on the field, he was a useless person, and my efforts were in vain. Zhang Bangchang next to him was overjoyed.
When King Liang saw Yue Fei coming to him, he said softly: "Fei, if you are willing to pretend to be defeated, I will reward you heavily;If you don't agree, I'm afraid your life will not be saved. 』
Yue Feidao: You are a vassal king, why do you need to come to capture a martial champion!Let's take the test!」
King Liang was furious when he heard this: I have good intentions to persuade you, but you are talking nonsense. Look at the knife!With that, he raised his knife and slashed at Yue Fei's head. Yue Fei turned the gun to the left and opened the knife. King Liang slashed at his waist with another knife, and Yue Fei fell the gun sideways and held it to the right.
When King Liang saw that he couldn't cut it, his heart was on fire, and he stabbed six or seven times in a row. Yue Fei came to the east and the west, and he would be cut by him. King Liang put away his sword and returned to his horse, and came to the martial arts hall, and Yue Fei followed him to see how he was.
I saw King Liang get off the horse, walked up to the hall, and said to Zhang Bangchang: Yue Fei's martial arts are ordinary, how can he go into battle?Zhang Bangchang said: I also see that his martial arts are not as good as yours. 』
When Zong Ze saw Yue Fei kneeling behind King Liang, he called forward and asked, "Why do you want to grab the champion with such a martial art?"Yue Feidao: It's not that I'm bad at martial arts, it's just that King Liang is a vassal king, and I don't dare to fight him. 』
Yue Fei continued: As long as King Liang is willing to set up a life and death document with Wu Sheng: no matter which one misses and hurts his life, it doesn't matter, Wu Sheng will dare to fight King Liang. 』
Zong Zedao: Yue Fei's words are also right, Chai Gui, would you like to make a life and death document with him?』
King Liang didn't dare to agree, so Zhang Bangchang said: Chai Gui, you will make a life and death document with him, if you hurt his life, so that everyone can be convinced, so as not to have anything to say. 』
King Liang had no choice but to write life and death documents with Yue Fei, each of whom wrote his own name, and then sent the four examiners to seal them.
King Liang's life and death documents were handed over to Yue Fei, and Yue Fei's was handed over to King Liang, and then the two of them went down to the hall together.
Yue Fei stepped on the horse, looked for the brothers, and said: "Brother, wait a while, if King Liang loses, you and Brother Niu will guard the door of his account and don't let his people come out." 』
Said to Zhang Xian again: Brother Zhang Xian, look at the back of the account room, there are all his generals, if you help, you can stop it there. 』
Shengran finally said to Wang Gui: Brother Wang Xian, you take the ** and wait at the gate of the school. This piece of life and death, keep it for me, if you throw it away, my life will be over!After giving the order, he turned around and came to the middle of the school field.
King Liang also returned to the middle account room and sat down, and called all the generals to come to him and say, "Either I hurt him, or he hurt me." What can you do to win him?」
The generals said: How many heads does this Yue Fei have, dare to hurt you?If he wants to hurt you, we all rush out and slash him to death. The court has its own Zhang Taishi and others in charge, what are you afraid of him?』
King Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, got back on his horse, came to the middle of the school field, and when he saw Yue Fei, he said, "Yue Fei, follow my words." But Yue Fei refused to agree.
King Liang was furious, Xiang Yue Fei was a knife on his head, Yue Fei put a gun, King Liang shook his arms sore, he didn't feel flustered, and then slashed at it, Yue Fei raised the gun lightly and put King Liang's knife aside.
King Liang saw that Yue Fei didn't fight back, thinking that he didn't dare to fight back, so he was bold, and he opened the golden back knife, three up and four down, five on the left and six on the right, just to cut at Yue Fei.
Yue Fei asked him to cut on the left and on the right, and when he was cut down, he shouted: Chai Gui!You don't know the weight, I'll let you have some, just leave early, don't be unlucky!』
When King Liang heard Yue Fei call his name, he said angrily: Yue Fei, don't go, eat me!Said and slashed with a knife.
Yue Fei was not in a hurry, raised a gun, opened the knife, and stabbed King Liang in the heart.
Seeing that Liang Wang was coming badly, he turned his body to the middle of his belt, Yue Fei picked up the gun, and put Liang Wang, head down, feet to the sky, under the horse;Another shot and a result.
At that time, the left and right patrol officers were in a hurry, and the soldiers on the school field were also stunned, and the inspector instructed the soldiers: Look at Yue Fei, don't let him go. 』
Yue Fei's expression remained unchanged, he got off the horse, stuck the gun on the ground, tied the horse to the barrel of the gun, and stood there waiting for the order.
The patrol officer ran to the martial arts hall to report: Ladies and gentlemen, King Liang was killed by Yue Fei, Zong Ze listened, although his face did not change, he was also panicked in his heart.
When Zhang Bangchang heard this, he was shocked and shouted: Quickly tie up this guy for me!The knife and axe hands on both sides agreed, ran down, and tied Yue Fei up.
At that time, these generals under King Liang all took weapons and robbed the account room, wanting to avenge King Liang.
Tang Huai waved his gun on the horse, and Niu Gao also danced and shouted in unison: Yue Fei provoked King Liang to death, and he had his own public opinion. If you rely on power, our heroes in the world will fight against injustice!』
Zhang Xian raised his hook and gun, pulled half of an account room and shouted: If any of you dare to do anything, don't provoke all our heroes to move their hands, so that you will not be spared half of your lives
At that time, those who watched also echoed loudly, how could those generals still dare to step forward?At the same time, those generals saw that the knife and axe men had tied up Yue Fei, and thought that Taishi Zhang would not let him go, so they all stood up and did not dare to come forward.
At this time, I suddenly heard Zhang Bangchang's order: Behead Yue Fei. The person next to him just agreed, and Zong Ze shouted: Don't do it!Then hurriedly get out of your seat and come out.
He took Zhang Bangchang's hand with one hand and Wang Duo's hand with the other, and said: This Yue Fei can't be killed, if you kill him, I'm afraid that the people who take the exam will not be convinced, and our lives will be in danger. 』
Zhang Bangchang said: Yue Fei is a martial artist, dare to provoke King Liang to death, then it will be repaid!He shouted again: Axe man, go and kill the newspaper!』
Before he finished speaking, Niu Gao swung his double gong towards the big flagpole, and the flagpole was broken, boomed, and fell.
At this time, the people who took the exam shouted: We come to take the exam once every three years, who doesn't want to be famous?Now that King Liang is relying on his power to grab the champion and harm good people, we might as well kill the plague official!The shout was like the sky falling.
Seeing this, Zong Ze put his hands down and shouted: Old lady, do you hear?So, you can kill him as you please!』
Zhang Bangchang, Wang Duo, and Zhang Jun were so frightened that they didn't know what to do, so they pulled Zong Ze's clothes together and said: Old marshal, the four of us are on the same boat, how can we say such things?It's up to you to settle in. 』
Zong Zedao: The flag official issued an order, telling everyone not to make trouble, and to listen to my methods. The flag officer hurriedly shouted: Listen, everyone, Master Zong has an order, tell you not to make trouble, listen to his orders. 』
The people below, hearing the order of Master Zong, crowded to the martial arts hall, and many people crowded all the way to the martial arts hall. Zhang Bangchang asked Zong Zedao: How to solve this matter?Zong Ze said: You see that people are not convinced, so you can only let Yue Fei go.
Zhang Bangchang and the three of them ordered the sergeant to release Yue Fei.
Yue Fei took his life, and did not go forward to thank him, so he took a gun, jumped on his horse, and ran outward, Niu Gao led the brothers to catch up, Wang Gui saw it outside, and hurriedly cut the school door open.
The five brothers fled together, returned to the shop, packed their belongings, and mounted their horses and returned to their hometowns.
