Chapter 426 Yunhai, you are going to become famous
The people of Shangjing City have been talking about it for many years. They have always believed that this is the most entertaining and dramatic competition.
Of course, Pei Jingyang and the Bailiyun brothers fought against each other many times later. The strange thing is that if it is a team battle, Dingxi Marquis Mansion has never lost. If it is an individual battle, against Pei Jingyang, Dingxi Marquis Mansion has never won.
Since this competition, it has become customary to add this activity to every martial arts competition. This year is no exception.
However, this year's challengers are the sons of the Minister of War. The 22-year-old Sun Xiangming and his two younger brothers specifically challenged the Bai Yunhe brothers from the Dingxi Marquis' Mansion.
Bai Yunhe, who was still helping with the finishing work at the site, was stunned for a moment when he heard the news that the servant beside him hurried over to deliver. Of course, Bai Yunhai, who was still pulling out the arrows, also received the news sent by his servant.
Hearing that there was something exciting to watch, Rong Jue jumped three feet high, "Oh, Yunhai, you are going to be famous, come on, don't lose to that grandson named Sun." He had completely forgotten the unhappiness he had just experienced with Yunhai.
"Hurry up and pick it up. We can go and see it after you finish picking it up." Xiao Yuan on the side was also anxious, urging Rong Jue and Zhou Ziren who were picking up on the other side of the field. The movements of several people were obviously much faster.
When Lord Pei, who was sitting in the stands, heard the news, he turned around excitedly and went to the training ground to watch closely. He looked impatient, as if he had been waiting for this for a long time and was afraid that he would be late and delay the competition.
Old Madam Pei also smiled and asked Nanny Chen to move her chair forward. She sat there with great interest, waiting for the competition to begin.
Seeing how excited Mrs. Pei was, Hua Lei asked with a smile, "Grandma Pei, do you also like to watch others fight?"
Madam Pei smiled and said, "Yes, whether it is watching others fight or watching others compete, it is the most enjoyable thing. It is completely different from watching one's own family compete.
In the past, Jin'er's grandfather had fought with Lord Bai several times, and the brothers Jingyang and Li Feiliyun had also fought with each other several times. These people just loved to fight and make a fuss to see who won and who lost.
At first, I was always so anxious that I wanted to go up and stop the fight myself. But now, I don't have the strength to do so.
Secondly, I've let it go. Men are always young and energetic. It's no big deal to fight when it's time to vent your anger."
After a pause, he continued, "In fact, every time there is a martial arts competition, the last family competition is what I look forward to the most. I just don't know what will be the competition this time?"
Looking at Hua Lei, Old Madam Pei smiled again and said, "It's a fair competition that should be stopped in time. Winning or losing doesn't matter. Even if we lose, it's not our face that is lost." Of course, Old Madam Pei said the last sentence in Hua Lei's ear.
Seeing Mrs. Pei enjoying the fun, Hua Lei couldn't help but laugh. She finally understood who Zhenzhu's personality resembled.
Zhenzhu, who was sitting nearby, gently pulled Hualei's sleeve and asked her to sit next to her. She whispered in Hualei's ear, "Guess why Sun Xiangming wanted to challenge Bai Yunhe?"
Hua Lei was stunned and said, "Then I definitely don't know. Didn't Grandmother Pei say that this was an open and aboveboard competition? Could there be some personal grudge?"
"The competition is fair, but the starting point may not always be fair." Zhenzhu smiled and said softly.
"Do you still remember the last time, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Zhao Yulan challenged you to a chess game? I heard that she has a crush on Bai Yunhe, and her family elders also sent someone to Dingxi Marquis's mansion to sound out the matter, but Bai Yunhe flatly refused.
Sun Xiangming and the Zhao family are related by marriage. This time, Sun Xiangming challenged Bai Yunhe by name, and he probably just couldn't resist Bai Yunhe's ruthless rejection. "
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Hua Lei asked in surprise.
"Well, I think this is a big reason. Also, the Shangshu Mansion and Dingxi Marquis Mansion have been secretly competing with each other in recent years. In all aspects, the Shangshu Mansion is still a little lacking.
Of course, as long as they are in the court, every family will always compare with each other. If Sun Xiangming wins this time, it will also bring honor to his family and enhance his family's strength. "
Although Zhenzhu looks careless, as a girl from a wealthy family, she does have vision and ability, and is well-informed.
Hua Lei nodded. She really didn’t know much about the twists and turns between the major families in Shangjing City.
The only thing Hua Lei knew about Sun Xiangming, the eldest grandson of Minister Sun, was that he had ranked 26th in the second class of the previous civil service examination and was a relatively capable person.
As they were talking, the competition on the field below was about to begin, and Hualei and Zhenzhu couldn't help but move forward. Fortunately, the location of the Marquis' Mansion was good, and they could see every move of every person on the field clearly from a high vantage point.
At this time, a dense circle of people had already gathered around the competition venue, Rong Jin, Rong Jue, and Xiao Yuan were among them. Lord Pei was standing at the front, and of course, Hua Lei also saw Lord Bai standing next to Lord Pei.
The first round of the competition this year was still a team competition, a hook-pulling competition. Hualei saw Bai Yunhe, Bai Yunhai, and a young man who was relatively unfamiliar to her. All three of them were wearing tight black clothes, and their sleeves and hems were neatly tied with belts.
On the other hand, the three young men opposite were of similar age, height, and were wearing similar clothes, except that the color was brighter, red.
Hua Lei carefully looked at the leader, Sun Xiangming. He was quite sturdy, tall and strong, and looked very strong.
Compared to Bai Yunhe's tall and thin figure, the opponent's weight seems to be an advantage. In a hook-pulling competition, the most important point is that the heavier the weight, the more advantage.
Bai Yunhe looked at the people opposite him, walked between the two brothers, and whispered a few words. The two men nodded slightly with serious expressions.
The two teams had already taken their positions, three against three, with Yun Hai standing at the front and Yun He at the back. The other team had a similar arrangement. The red strip hanging from the rope had also been aligned with the dividing point in the middle.
At the command, both sides exerted force at the same time, the rope was immediately tightened, and the red cloth strip on the rope moved slightly.
