After watching the whole process, Zhuanyan felt that in the arena, whether galloping, cuju or cornering were too bland to meet his needs, so he suggested Zhao Wuxi to join the armed battle. www.geiliwx.com【\\/\\/novel update quickly without pop-up window, please search】

"Since the beginning of the Wu people's founding of the country, sword fighting has been a common occurrence in the army. This kind of fighting is not pure killing, it shows the courage, skill and strength of the Wu people. The blood sacrifice of ghosts and gods and Shui Bo. The victors have feasts, enjoyment and glory, and those who die heroically will also be respected and missed. For the prisoners of beasts on death row, this is the place where ghosts and gods are judged. Last chance to get his innocence back."

After Yan Yan translated this sentence word for word, Zhao Wuxi's face darkened.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Three Kingdoms period, the land of Wuyue did not have the small bridges and flowing waters and gentleness of later generations, but a borderland with sturdy folk customs. You have not seen the three thousand Jiangdong children of Xiangwang, and the Soochow Danyang trilogy are all brave and good at war.

As the so-called Jiangnan custom, fire ploughs water, fish and rice are prosperous, no worries about hunger and discouragement, its people believe in ghosts and gods, and they like prostitution. There is a saying in Wu people, "It is better to have no food than no water". Rice is mainly water, and there are many floods in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, Wu people started from breaking hair and tattooing waterproofing, and they have a series of sacrifices and taboos for water. There are many activities related to water, starting from the time when the newborn baby is carried into the water for a bath, to the time when the baby is buried in the coffin after death, so there are many sacrifices to the water god.

Therefore, in order to show their bravery in front of "Ghosts" and "Shui Bo", the people of Wu State often use land to fight tigers and water to capture dragons (crocodiles). .

Similar to ancient Greece and Rome in the West, in the land of Wuyue, the initial gladiatorial fight was a fistfight between people, and later gradually developed into a hand-to-hand fight between people and tigers, bears, leopards, bison, and even crocodile sharks. Later, in order to seek greater bloodshed and win greater grace from ghosts and gods. The Wu people became popular with sword fighters: two fighters stabbed each other with a one- or two-foot-long sword or spear and shield in their hands.

They fought against each other day and night on the north bank of Zhenze, often fighting to the death to please ghosts and gods, the King of Wu and nobles, and the casualties were over a hundred years old. But there are still countless people rushing to it, so when these swordsmen were formed by Sun Wu into a dense phalanx. When rushing to the Chu ** formation, Fang Neng looked at him.

Yan Yan was not too happy: "This is the custom of barbarians, why did they introduce them into the Central Plains? Isn't this how barbarians turn into summers?"

Zhuan Carp said: "This matter is of great benefit to Dr. Sikou. You can just translate it for me, Ziyou!"

Yan Yan helpless. He had to continue to translate for Zhuan Carp: "If Doctor Xiao Sikou can let the light warriors and death row prisoners fight with swords in the arena, or fight with beasts, until they die, they will definitely bring more trade to Taoqiu. Let the treasury be filled with all kinds of coins of the princes of the world. Because everyone in the world has a desire to fight, watching sword fighting can satisfy them and make Taoqiu more peaceful and prosperous."

After listening to Wu Xie, he pondered for a while and said, "It's like fighting a cockfighting dog? I know that people are happy to see blood and blood flying when they watch these two competitions, and their favorite is the moment when the losing chicken and dog is beheaded after the game. It can be seen that you are right, Boyu, people really like blood. If the customs of sword fighting and beast fighting in the south are introduced into the arena, it will indeed gain great benefits and attract more people to watch... "

Don't you see the gladiatorial industry in ancient Rome was so prosperous, this is the combat and cruelty in the bones of human beings at work!

After hearing the words, Zhuanxuan nodded and said yes, Zigong and even Yanyan on the side were shocked, thinking that Zhao Wuxi had been persuaded by him.

The two were about to persuade them, but they heard Zhao Wuxi say decisively: "But no, no matter how many benefits and benefits there are, I will not let fighting swords and beasts enter the arena!"

Zhuan Carp was stunned: "Since it is beneficial. Why not?"

"Because a gentleman makes money in a proper way and promotes fighting beasts and swords, he is using other people's lives to make fun of himself. This is something that a gentleman cannot do. Let me give a few examples. , so they were punished by Tang Wu Xingren, hanging the people; Ju Zi Gengyu liked swords, and every time he made a sword, he would try the sword with people, kill dozens of people every year, and finally became a big problem for the people, so he was expelled. In short, Using the mutilation of the people to satisfy one's own will, in the end, this is the only end."

Zhuanxuan was dumbfounded, but he still insisted: "It's not just to please the viewers, but also to please the ghosts and gods."

Zhao Wuxi's voice rose in vain: "If you can't help people, how can you help ghosts!"

Zhuan's words choked in his throat, so he could only stare there, and Yan Yan, who was translating for Zhao Wuxi, suddenly became excited, and his voice trembled.

"It seems that Bo Yu still doesn't understand what I am. If you ask others, you will know that I have promoted the order to stop martyrdom. What is the difference between burial? It's just a different way of dying, how can I agree? My Chinese etiquette is different from Man Yue, people-oriented! The principle is the country's strength, the chaos is the country's danger, after all, people are the spirit of all things. Any human life is precious, and it is not something that can be compared with chickens and dogs.

Zhuan Li was at a loss for words, pondered deeply, and then seemed to be awakened again by something, and his hand involuntarily touched the saber at his waist...

...

The disputes here also attracted Cao Bo, Cao Guoda Sicheng, Ji Qin, Qu Wuji and others.

They turned their faces to ask what was going on, and just heard Zhuan Carp boasting about the custom of Wu people's sword fighting, claiming that they could be introduced into the arena. Hearing this, Uncle Cao's eyes lit up, but Zhao Wuxi's irrefutable words made him dismiss the idea.

"People-oriented, well said!"

Cao Boyang took a peek at Da Sicheng, who was nodding his head. He had been hunting recklessly on weekdays, and he had already been remonstrated by Da Sicheng many times. If he did something to "fail the remnants of the people", would it be worth it? The old man must have calluses on his ears. He can guess one thing from Zhao Wuxi's mind. The Central Plains is no better than Wu Yue, and his reputation is extremely important. As a monarch and a monarch, you must have some bottom line in your work. Otherwise, the public opinion and history of the Chinese people will not let you go.

Use human life to make fun and make money, and you won't be a ghost if you don't get hacked into Jie Zhou!

Although Qu Wuji was born in Si and grew up in Si, he was not used to some of the barbaric customs in Wu and Yue.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, everyone saw Zhuan Carp, whose face flushed red after the words were lost, touched the short sword at his waist, and with a loud sound, he drew his sword out!

Everyone was horrified, Bo Yu was so furious, did he want to fight Zhao Wuxi desperately? The temperament of the people of Wu Yue is so strong! ?

They knew exactly who was the son of the crucian carp. In the past, Zhuanzhu stabbed Wang Liao, and the comet hit the moon! Now it seems that the night of the comet has reappeared. When the common man was angry, Cao Cao staggered back across the distance, trying to push the old Da Sicheng in front of him to block, the Jin envoy Ji Qin also shrank behind the case. , and the tall Qu Wuji, although he put his hand on the long sword around his waist, was hesitant and did not dare to draw it out.

In the past, when fighting swords in Wu Kingdom, except for the prince's husband, the people who rushed to draw the sword in front of Zhuan crucian carp were only dead words...

Now the closest to the crucian carp is Zhao Wuxi.

So he saw it clearly, and saw that the sword in Zhuan's hand was less than a foot long and could be hidden in the belly of a big fish, so it was called the Fish Intestine Sword. Back then, Wu Wangliao was killed by this sword piercing through three layers of armor, but now it is his turn. already?

He still stood there, holding the Shaolong sword in his hand, but it was too late to draw the sword. Zigong, Yanyan, and Kan Zhi leaned towards the scribes. The incident happened so suddenly that their minds froze in place, only to hear a small sound that broke through the air, humming in their ears. .

...

In the wooden box on the side of the arena, the two siblings stood side by side, leaning on the railing in front of the window eaves.

Bo Mi turned his head to look at his younger brother Xing Ao with relief.

"Adi is already fifteen years old, but he is a little taller than me."

Xing Ao has lost the immaturity of a boy. He has grown into a tall and handsome young man. At this time, he is watching the Cuju competition intently, cheering for his favorite Cuju team from time to time. Listen to Bo Mi. He has been working with Zigong in Taoyi for the past year. No matter whether he is planning the operation or getting off the field to play Cuju in person, he has attended and participated in it. Every brick and tile of this arena has his hard work in it.

Bo Mi only glanced at the game occasionally to catch up with her younger brother. She was not interested in this kind of intense competition, and most of her thoughts were still on Zhao Wuxi.

The ** gentleness came suddenly and unexpectedly, but since it happened, Zhao Wuxi's character would never shy away from giving in, and it hurt her more and more. Today, she was also authorized to follow her to watch the competition, and she also promised to find an opportunity for her to recognize her distant relative Qu Wuji, so that the two families could be formally established.

Bo Mi was shy but also full of joy, not the joy that relatives were about to recognize. Although she understands that she can only be a concubine when she reaches the top, she knows the importance of a status, and she also thinks about the words of a gentleman. Apart from taking care of the gentleman's daily life, she is not here to embellish.

After Zhao Wuxi left, she followed Ji Ying. In addition to her good cooking skills, she also followed Ji Ying to learn how to draw a good porcelain painting. She believed that in addition to being the political link between Zhao and Qu, she also had other aspects. Can also help a gentleman!

However, at this moment, Bo Mi, who had been focusing on Zhao Wuxi, noticed that there was chaos in the stands of the office, and then her eyes fluttered, and she saw a gap between the stone steps and the wooden building on the side. In the shadows, there is a thin man in brown clothes!

He seemed to be holding a bow-shaped weapon in his hand~www.wuxiahere.com~ and aimed at Zhao Wuxi's direction. With a slight movement of his hand, his body trembled slightly as if it had been bounced by something, and the shot was flashed by the sunlight. Reflective!

Bo Mi knew that it must not be an act of kindness.

Not fair, not fair! She thought to herself, why Leji must be sad, and then she let out a shrill cry, and tears flowed down her face like poison.

"Gentleman!"

But this sound was fleeting, and it was completely covered up by the mad cries of the audience standing up and cheering after the Cuju goal! (To be continued.)
