Chapter 5216 Xiangzi’s mother comes to visit
When asked about this, Zhang Xiangzi felt a little depressed.
He grinned: "I thought about it, but I didn't seize the opportunity. That girl is more timid than a mouse. I just touched her hand and she was so frightened that she ran away quickly. It’s not easy for me to chase..."
Xiangzi’s mother curled her lips and said, "You too , I don’t know how to choose a suitable place so that she can’t run away? It’s not convenient to start at the entrance of the village with so many people at Lao Luo’s house.”
When Zhang Xiangzi heard this, he became excited. Son, "Mom, what do you mean by this? Do you have any clever ideas?"
Xiangzi's mother curled her lips proudly, turned to look at the door, and said in a low voice: "Your mother, I have been here before. Let me tell you, if it hadn't been for your mother, I went out to attack and dragged your father into the cotton field. How can you, five siblings, come to our bustling home?”
Zhang Xiangzi's eyes widened in surprise: "Mom, you are so tough, you are a hero among women, but you have such a heavy appetite, don't you? Just like my father, you can still go down. Mouth? I admire you!"
Xiangzi’s mother pinched Zhang Xiangzi’s arm.
"What do you know, you little bastard? Your father is getting old now, and he has sores on his head that eventually turned into leprosy. When he was young, your father was not ugly at all. The first time he came back My mother-in-law works for someone, so I fell in love with him.”
“As soon as I told your grandma, your grandma asked someone to come over to talk to you, but your father refused to agree.”
"Why don't you agree? My father doesn't like you?" Zhang Xiangzi asked.
Xiangzi's mother rolled her eyes: "What if I don't like him? Later I dragged him into the cotton field and cooked the raw rice. How could he let it go? In the end, he would still be honest. Marry me?”
Zhang Xiangzi felt happy and didn’t feel any pain on his face. He simply sat up and listened to his mother’s bragging.
Xiangzi's mother said: "So, if you really like Mianmian, mother will go and match you. However, I don't think Yang Laowu's family will agree, because the couple is pretentious and may not be sure. I want Mianmian to marry a scholar, but we can try our luck first."
"Mom, what if they really don't agree?" Zhang Xiangzi asked nervously.
He now wants to marry a fair and gentle girl like Mianmian home and become his wife, so that he can do whatever he wants to her and no one can control her.
Xiangzi’s mother thought about it for a moment, “If you don’t agree, it means they don’t give you face. When the time comes, my mother will help you give her advice and ensure that you can marry her as you wish. However, in that case, they will also want to show off. What’s wrong with my father-in-law!”
……
The next day, Jiang Guiling was worried and asked her mother to accompany her to Changping Village.
"This incident happened because of me. I'm worried that if I leave, Xiangzi's mother will come to trouble her mother-in-law. I can't be a coward, so I'm here to take a look."
"After I left yesterday, did the old Zhang family come here to cause trouble?"
Jiang Guiling just arrived at the gate of the yard and happened to follow Mianmian who came out of it to inquire.
Mianmian looked panicked, grabbed Jiang Guiling's hand and said: "Sister-in-law, you came just in time. That Xiangzi mother came to my house with ten eggs. She is talking to my mother in the main room right now. While we were talking, my mother sent me away."
"What? Xiangzi’s mother actually brought eggs to our house? What’s going on? Come on, let’s go and take a look.”
Jiang’s mother was too embarrassed to eavesdrop, so she was sent to Sun’s house later. She herself took Mianmian and hid at the door of the main room, pricking up her ears to eavesdrop on what was said inside.
......
The martial arts field of the town guard mansion.
The soldiers on both sides who were well prepared stood still, in two different directions. They already knew about the bet between Luo Xingchen and Lu Zhanlong, and now both sides were holding back their anger.
On Lu Zhanlong's side, they were very unconvinced. In their eyes, the navy of the garrison relied entirely on its ships and artillery, and its real water skills and close combat capabilities were completely Not enough to see.
The soldiers of the garrison navy think that they are regular royal navy and undergo the most rigorous training. They are certainly much better than some water thieves.
The soldiers on both sides looked at each other and became unhappy. Words cannot solve the problem, so only a fight can determine whose idea is right.
“I’ll give you a stick of incense to prepare. You will compete in this martial arts arena in a while. You don’t care about the means, but one thing must be determined, that is, you cannot hit the vital points. If anyone violates According to the rules, you will immediately lose." Luo Xingchen stood on the high platform, glanced at the people below, and said.
Lu Zhanlong said nothing and just followed Luo Xingchen, but he signaled his men with his eyes, which meant that he must win.
If you win this battle, your treatment in the imperial navy will be completely different in the future, and you will have complete autonomy.
You can even lead an independent army. Not only will you have the same power as Zhanlong Village in the past, but you can also take this opportunity to receive salaries and military pay from the court, as well as the court's latest gunboats, etc.
When he thought of this, Lu Zhanlong felt excited.
Of course, if he loses, the soldiers of Zhanlong Village will be disrupted and reorganized, completely losing their independence, and he himself will have to be put in the school to study again.
Although he was born as a scholar, he had not studied for many years, and he was going to school again, and he suddenly felt inexplicable fear.
You must not lose, he should not enter the school again!
"The time is up, choose your own weapons, and then start standing on both sides." Luo Xingchen said.
Then, people on both sides began to choose weapons on the weapon racks.
There are ready-made wooden weapons in this martial arts field. Of course, the real weapons are kept in the armory and will not be placed in the martial arts field.
This is also for safety reasons. After all, most people who practice martial arts have bad tempers. If they are impulsive, they may actually start a fight. If there is a weapon made of real steel, a vicious incident may occur. .
“Start.”
Luo Xingchen gave the order, and immediately the troops on both sides began to charge.
When they came into contact soon, they began to fight hand to hand.
But it is obvious that the soldiers of the original garrison used Luo Xingchen's new training method. They had better discipline and worked together. They were in groups of several people. Their weapons were uniformly long sticks. At that time, the team leader stabbed at the same time with a glance, and also used his strength to sweep at the same time.
In this way, the synergy can be maximized.
Lu Zhanlong's men are indeed more powerful individually. After all, they are veterans and have more experience in fighting. However, the overall queue is relatively loose and focuses more on fighting alone.
As a result, it seems a bit embarrassing when the team competes.
Maybe it differs from place to place. Fighting on a ship is basically done in singles. It is not easy to form a formation.
