This sleeve is broken secretly

After the hunting lasted for four consecutive days, everyone has gained a lot.On August [-]th, Emperor Hongwu decided to hold a roast meat banquet in the camp to reward a few tribal leaders and take stock of the prey they had caught.

As the night fell, a huge bonfire that could only be surrounded by four or five people was set up in the royal camp, and colorful shanties were set up on both sides for the ethnic minorities and soldiers of the dynasty to rest.People on both sides put the prey they had caught in the past few days under their sheds. The corpses of wild beasts were piled up like a hill. The air was filled with the smell of firewood and sparks and the smell of flesh and blood. The fierce and bloody atmosphere was about to move.

When it comes to the number of prey, it is obvious that the ethnic minority has more. There are hundreds of wild rabbits alone, and they are strung together and hung under the shed, which is very spectacular.There are also countless wild foxes, wild boars, pheasants, etc., piled up in piles, which makes people smack their tongues.

Although the number of prey in this dynasty is not dominant, it has hunted a lot of precious things.Needless to say red deer, sika deer, wild boar, etc., the most shocking thing was a big black bear with the height of three people, whose fur was not damaged at all, and was shot through the bear's head with an arrow and killed.It is shocking to think about the strength of the archer who can break the skull of a bear with one arrow.

After the banquet started, the northern tribes presented singers and dancers. For a while, the camp was full of joy with matouqin, singing and dancing.Another guard moved sheep, deer, pigs and other prey, bled, skinned and cut the meat on the spot, and roasted it on the fire.

Emperor Hongwu took the first place, and sitting next to him was the leader of the Tumozhong tribe. At this time, he offered a cup of horse blood that had just been eaten, and smiled at Emperor Hongwu: "Khan, please drink this cup of animal blood with me." , I wish our two races a good relationship from generation to generation!"

The freshly cut horse's blood smells stinky and steaming, and just smelling it makes people want to vomit.Emperor Hongwu took it, but drank it in one gulp without changing his face.

The leader of Tumozhong laughed loudly and called him "good job".

However, this is not the first provocation by a small number of tribes during the siege.From the fierce fighting during hunting, to the display of prey, to the respect of horse blood at this time, these tribes challenge the authority of the dynasty all the time.When some tribes met Emperor Hongwu, they didn't even want to kneel down, and they didn't want to say "Great Khan".

□□I have always relied on the prosperity of the country and the people's safety, but I don't know that the puppies in the backyard have unknowingly broken free from their neck collars and have grown into hungry wolves. They are about to bite their master's neck with a provocative bite.

The civil and military officials of this dynasty saw it, and their hearts sank.

After a while, a group of tribal boys and girls came in with large silver platters in their hands, and distributed large pieces of lamb leg and beef to the tables of hundreds of officials.

The nomads don't pay much attention to roasting meat, it's the style of "steaming under the command of three thousand miles", and they pay attention to one efficiency.Today, I don't know if it was intentional, but the meat served was still bloody, no seasoning was added, and the taste was extremely unpalatable to the Central Plains people.

The men on the prairie on the opposite side grabbed the meat with their bare hands and started chewing. The behavior of eating was extremely rude, which made the civil and military officials of this dynasty gag.

"Book of Rites" pays attention to "don't suck and burn", which means that even a gentleman should not bite the barbecue with big mouthfuls at the banquet.Most of the barbecue in this dynasty is sliced ​​into thin slices. After roasting, it is served on a plate and eaten with chopsticks.However, such a large piece of meat is not proper to hold it in the hand, and it cannot be picked up with chopsticks. Suddenly, everyone looked at the meat in front of them with embarrassment.

The leader of Tumo Zhong glanced at him, and sneered at Emperor Hongwu: "It seems that the subjects of the sweat don't know how to eat. Why, do you think the meat hunted by our grassland warriors stinks?"

The atmosphere at the banquet froze immediately.

Even if the civil and military of this dynasty disliked the rude behavior of their minority tribes, they definitely did not intend to cause trouble on purpose.But once the leader of Tumozhong said this, he could be provoked.Sure enough, seeing a few strong men on the prairie on the opposite side put the big meat in their hands heavily, and looked at the people on the opposite side, they all showed displeasure.

This time is difficult.If you don't eat it, the two parties will definitely have an extremely embarrassing quarrel; if you eat it, you will lose the battle.

Just when the two sides were stalemate in silence, they suddenly heard a slight cough from the banquet.Everyone turned their heads, only to see a young official sitting kneeling behind Emperor Hong Wu unknowingly took out a three-inch long dagger, and saw that he was holding a chopstick in one hand and a knife in the other, and was calmly and gracefully cutting a whole piece of dagger. The meat is slowly shaved into thin slices that are easy to pick up.His appearance was already beautiful, and his aura was even more dignified. A meat-cutting action was made by him with a romantic and unrestrained charm.

All the officials' eyes lit up, and those with daggers had already started to follow suit.

The leader of Tumozhong suddenly looked a little ugly.This little official was not of high grade at first glance, but he easily broke the stumbling block he put on Emperor Hongwu, which is really unpleasant.

"Khan, who is this?"

A smile flashed in Emperor Hongwu's eyes, and he said, "Liangqing, I haven't seen Deligerhan, the leader of Tumozhong."

Shen Bing got up and bowed calmly: "Shen Bing, the sixth-rank editor of the Imperial Academy, has met Deliger Khan. Thank you Da Khan for giving the meat. The food for the lower official is very delicious."

The leader of the Tumozhong showed anger, and said with a cool smile: "Khan, I used to think that the official in the first place is not a warrior who can ride a strong horse and draw a big bow, but should also be a dignified husband. But this editor Shen, who was born But she's even better-looking than the women in our tribe. Is there really no one left for the official election?"

A row of prairie brawny men laughed loudly in conjunction with their leader, sneering and mocking.

Shen Bing was neither angry nor angry, he smiled and waited for their laughter to subside a bit, before he said leisurely: "Compared with my mighty generals and strong soldiers, I was indeed born weaker. However, Xiaguan is five years old. Practicing calligraphy, studying poetry at the age of eight, knowing the rites of Confucius, Mencius and Zhou with his hair tied up, and the champion of Wuxiang. Although he is not full of economics, he is also good at astronomy and geography. I may not be able to carry a knife. But if there is a journey of a thousand people, in the hands of a frail scholar like me, I can sweat a hundred thousand elite soldiers!"

"Dangdang!"

The leader of Tumozhong kicked over the little girl in front of him, pointed at Shen Bing and was furious: "You little officer! What do you mean, are you threatening Ben Khan!"

Shen Yan raised his lips and smiled, raised his sleeves and said, "I don't dare. I'm just dictating the truth."

"you--"

Emperor Hongwu was under the rule of Gao and had been watching with a smile on his face. At this time, Fang slowly opened his mouth and smiled at the leader of Tumozhong: "Khan calm down, my minister has always been sharp-tongued, and Da Khan will definitely suffer from arguing with him." Haha." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and scolded Shen Bian, "Presumptuous! How dare you show off your tongue in the face of Deliger Khan! Still not making amends?"

Shen Yi immediately bowed down and pleaded guilty.The leader of Tumozhong was still indignant, but he couldn't say anything more, so he had to sit down resentfully.Sitting next to the leader was a burly man, seeing his leader slumped, he stood up and pointed at Shen Yi and babbled a lot of things in Mandarin.

Shen Yan couldn't understand the language, raised his eyebrows, and was about to ask someone else to translate, but suddenly heard a person from the table say in a deep voice: "He said that you can only speak, but you can't do it, and you can't be a real hero. He wants to challenge you and fight for it." Let's fight for the honor on this grassland."

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see the person who made the voice stride forward.He was wearing a white riding suit with a samurai belt around his waist. The narrow sleeves made him look like a cheetah ready to go when he strode forward.

Xie Ling walked up to the burly man, looked up at him and smiled coldly.Among the Central Plains people, Xie Ling was definitely tall, but he was still a head short in front of this big man like a mountain of meat.However, his whole body was imposing, his eyes were fierce, and even the curved corner of his mouth was like a machete out of its sheath, with bloodstains hanging on it.

"He has already said that he does not fight with knives, what do you want him to do?"

"Come." Xie Jin sneered, stretched his neck, and hooked his hands, "Grandpa will play with you."

Everyone around was startled, even Emperor Hong Wu who was sitting on the seat frowned.No matter how brave Xie Ling was, he was still just a civil servant after all. If this brawny grassland man really wanted to provoke, there would be guards present who were proficient in swords and guns, so there was no need for him to appear on the stage.

However, the brawny grassland man had already been enraged by him, and he roared angrily to fight.Xie Ling sneered, strode to the open place in front of the bonfire, raised his hand and pointed at Shen Ting who was not far away, and said in a loud voice: "I am also a small civil servant in this dynasty, not a soldier who has experienced many battles at all. But if I beat you, you can't help but apologize to our civil servants, and kowtow to the adult you humiliated just now!"

Everyone couldn't help but looked sideways at Shen Bing.On the surface, Shen Ting was as calm as before, but in fact, the hands under the table gradually tightened the clothes on his knees, cursing Xie Linghu in his heart.

The prairie man looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and said loudly: "If I lose to you kid, I don't need to kowtow, I will apologize myself!"

The two stood still in the open space, their eyes narrowed, their bodies bent slightly, and the tension was on the verge of breaking out.The brawny men on the side of the grassland stood up and yelled one after another, and their powerful and loud voices resounded through the entire camp, which made people's ears hurt; the civil and military men knew that Xie Ling's winning rate was not high, but seeing his calm and confident appearance, Undecided in my heart, I was so nervous that my palms sweated.

But he saw the strong man suddenly roared, and with his heels vigorously strode towards Xie Ling.He has a majestic figure, and his feet make a terrifying impact sound like a bear crawling on the ground. When he rushes forward, he is full of vigor, and the man with the overwhelming momentum is enough to take three steps back.

Xie Ling stood on the spot, staring at him, until the moment before he stretched out his hand to grab it, he suddenly lowered his body and passed diagonally under the right rib of the strong man, and came behind him in an instant like a clever swallow wrapping around a beam.The strong man let out an angry roar, turned back hastily, but Xie Ling repeated his old trick, and once again spared him from under his left rib.After catching two empty hands, the strong man roared angrily, scolding Xie Yin for being "cunning" and "cowardly".

Xie Ling sneered at the corner of his lips, so he ignored him, and dealt with this strong man with a light and flexible figure.

Shen Bing on the seat had been watching closely, and only now was he relieved a little-although this prairie man was tall and strong, he was not good at wrestling skills, and he didn't have a trick to grab.It should be known that wrestling is not a sport that only relies on brute force, it emphasizes the use of strength and the control of the body by both parties, and it is obvious that Xie Yin is superior in both.

Sure enough, in the open place, the strong man on the prairie staggered after being bypassed several times by Xie Qin, looking left and right to find the figure of his opponent, panting with anger.Xie Ling concentrated his attention and spotted a prairie man who had turned around and was still standing still. He flew up, grabbed his arm with his left hand, bent his leg with his right hand, put his shoulder blades against his chest and roared—this man is like a giant bear. To be pushed up by him is enough to see the volley rise for a moment!

All the people present stood up and exclaimed, and the applause was like thunder.

Is this the difference between victory and defeat?

But he heard the strong man scream wildly, his thick waist twisted suddenly, and he fell back to the ground with brute force.Unexpectedly, he was quite fast, but Xie Ling was even faster. The moment his toes landed on the ground, Xie Ling had already turned around, and his right leg flew out, hitting his heel like a stick of fire.Normally, this strong man would still be able to stand upright, but at this time he had just landed and hadn't stood still, when he was swept away, he fell heavily to the ground with a "plop".His body was heavy, and he was about to get up while roaring, but Xie Jinfei rushed up, pressed his shoulders, locked his elbows and pressed his head, lying on the ground unable to move!

Victory!

All the officials from all over the world exclaimed in disbelief, and burst into applause with great joy—our civil servants actually beat your fierce men!

Shen Bing's whole body relaxed, and only now did he let out the breath that had been held in his chest.It was only when he was relieved that he realized that his forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

On the other side of the grassland, everyone's faces were ugly, and some people couldn't believe it, especially the leader of Tumozhong, who had been completely swept away, with a gloomy expression, as if he was about to lift the table in the next second.

Xie Ling got up amidst the thundering applause around him, looked down at the disheveled prairie brawny man, and asked in a cold voice, "Apologize?"

The burly man clenched his teeth and said angrily with a hammer: "Batulu in the grassland is right, the Central Plains people bowed their knees—"

"I would like to admit defeat! I apologize!"

The prairie man roared in grief and indignation, turned over and jumped a few steps towards a guard standing beside him, drew out his saber with a "swish", and was about to kill himself when he returned the saber.Unexpectedly, Xie Ling was faster, he leaped forward and slapped his wrist off, kicked his knees and yelled angrily: "If you lose, you want to run away? A bear like you deserves to be called Batu of the Grassland!" Lu?"

The leader of Tumozhong stood up suddenly, and said angrily, "Okay, you—"

"Xie Ling!" Hong Wudi shouted in a deep voice, "Stop!"

Xie Ling suddenly turned his head, his eyes were like lightning.At that moment, his eyes really seemed to see a sharp blade of blood, and a beast that had tasted the blood, so fierce and ferocious that it made people tremble, it could be regarded as the look of a wolf with eagle eyes.

However, under Emperor Hongwu's condescending stare, he finally let out a sneer, glanced disdainfully at the grassland man, and bowed down.

Emperor Hongwu glanced sideways at the leader of Tumozhong who had not expressed his anger, looked down the field again, and said in a deep voice: "There is a tradition of wrestling on the banquet, whether it is in the grassland or in this dynasty. But this is banquet entertainment. , now it’s too ugly to see blood and knife. Xie Ling, you are young and energetic, go out and wash your face to refresh your mind, go down."

Xie Ling pursed his lips, saluted and got up, took a deep look at Shen Bing who was frowning on the seat, turned and retreated.

Emperor Hongwu turned his head and smiled at the leader of Tumozhong: "Deliger Khan, these two are young people from our dynasty. They are full of blood and impulsive. Don't be angry with them."

The leader of Tumozhong gritted his teeth, looked at Shen Bing coldly and said nothing.

Shen Yan got up at the right time, prostrated himself in the tunnel, and said, "I am disrespectful. I would like to punish myself and leave the banquet."

Emperor Hongwu nodded.Shen Bing saluted again, and slowly backed away under the gloomy eyes of the leader of Tumozhong and the prairie warriors.
