Chapter 23, with force

Although Zhang Nan's attitude is not very right, compared with those who are pretentious and tit-for-tat at first, at least the other party can speak upright. Of course, Zu Zhao will not react much to this, which is nothing more than a slightly perfunctory response.

As for Zhang Nan's words, several people who were resting not far behind Zu Zhao also heard it. They had different understandings. Some people whispered in private, and some people laughed at Zhang Nan's self-righteousness. In the past ten days of contact, everyone's impression of Zu Zhao has been getting closer and closer day by day. No child has ever been so humble and friendly, especially yesterday when they invited the winning team to have a big meal.

Even if they are several rangers who are better than Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu, and even the participants born of Zhang in Anyangting, even if they dare not easily question Zhang Nan's words, they will not disagree with Zu Zhao. Their mind is very simple. Whether they practice or not, anyway, everyone has been very happy for more than ten days. This is enough.

"In a word, you take care of yourself. Zhang didn't have much time to visit his relatives this time, and he couldn't help the county to prepare for thieves. He asked the strong men in each township. I still have something to do at home. I will talk with my ancestors another day and say goodbye.

After a pause, Zhang Nan arched his hand to Zu Zhao, then pulled the reins and left with the children of his family.

Before Zhang Nan and his party went far away, Zu Ji came to Zu Zhao in three steps, and his face was very depressed.

"Big prince, look at this Wen Qiao. He thinks he is a county lieutenant and speaks so arrogantly. If you don't want to see him, why do you have to come to join in the fun today? Where is there anyone who has made a special trip to find trouble for others?

"You can't be rude. If you are older, you are a brother. What's more, his words are not completely unreasonable, but many things can't be rushed." Zu Zhao said in a heavy tone.

Zu Ji was so confused that he had no choice but to say more.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from behind. Zu Zhao and Zu Ji turned their heads and saw Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu surrounded by several rangers and the children of the Zu family, chatting happily. Taking advantage of the gap, Zhang Yu quickly greeted Zu Zhao and Zu Ji: "It's Han Yigong who came."

Look carefully at the person who was talking to Zhang Yuan, not everyone else, but Han Dang.

Zu Ji couldn't help muttering to himself, "Well, when did Brother Han come?"

Zuzu Zhao also had this question, but he didn't show it. He rushed over quickly.

Han Dang is still the same old-fashioned, dressed in shabby clothes and a beard. The previous rattan bow to be sold hangs behind him, with a dirty arrowhead tied around his waist. However, this time he still had a dead roe deer in his hand, which was an adult size, two or three feet long, but it was as easy to twist in his hand like a tree.

Zu Zhao came to Han Dang and said with a smile, "Han Zhuangshi, why are you here?"

Han Dang put aside the crowd, raised the crow in his hand, and laughed and said, "Well, I just hunted a crow today and sent it to everyone."

Zu Zhao and Zhang Yuan looked at each other, and both of them showed joy. The other rangers and Zu's children around them also heard this and sighed deeply.

Zu Zhao sighed and said, "Brother Han, if it's cold today, I'm afraid it will be more and more difficult to hunt in the future. Why don't you send this rue deer to the market for sale? Why do you need to give it to me?"

Han Dang said righteously, "Why, you come to dislike me? Although I am not rich, I met you. I ate a meal of wine and meat from you a few days ago. Don't you allow me to buy me another meal?

The people around changed slightly, and I really didn't expect Han Dang to be so serious.

Zu Zhao thought for a moment, and then smiled cheerfully, "Brother Han is indeed a righteous man, and it is my fault." Speaking of this, he announced loudly to the surroundings, "Gentlemen, today's winner will take this deer as a reward."

A stag is naturally not as good as a big wine and meat, but many rangers are greedy for a glass of wine. However, when everyone present heard this, they all showed an exhilarating side, not because everyone put on airs, but because everyone valued "righteousness" more. They are both young and energetic. They don't care whether a meal is rich and thrifty or not. They still live without wine and meat. On the contrary, the pleasure of like-mindedness is unattainable.

Because Zu Zhao and Zhang Yuan take the lead in respecting Han Dang, even if people do not know Han Dang well, they will also respect Han Dang. Therefore, the inner meaning of this "e deer" of Handang is very different.

There was a surge of cheers, and the atmosphere was suddenly very lively. Even Zhang Nan and others, who had slowly left a distance, couldn't help looking back curiously.

Han Dang received this enthusiasm, and his originally serious face immediately changed to a smile and said, "Okay, it's up to you. If you wait for the drill today, whoever wins will belong to this deer. Hahaha!"

Gongsun Long came up from behind the crowd and shouted hurriedly, "What are you waiting for? Let's try the next competition now!" I'm sure I'll pull back."

Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yu, Zu Ji and others couldn't help laughing when they heard this sentence and saw Gongsun Long's evil expression. Soon, others also laughed. In the end, even if Gongsun Long himself didn't figure out what was funny, he followed him with a simple smile.

After laughing, Zu Zhao immediately said, "Well, let's start the second game immediately!"

Unexpectedly, just as everyone was in a good mood and began to line up one after another to inform the content of the second competition, Zhang Pre seemed to jokingly interrupt: "Since Brother Han is here today, why don't you come to compete with us?"

Zhang Yu said unintentionally, but the people around him followed.

At the beginning, Han should defeat many rangers, including Zhang Yuan, with the power of one person. This matter has spread among the public. Unfortunately, not many people have witnessed it. Even Zu Zhao, Zu Ji and others who arrived afterwards only saw a result. No matter how vivid others say, it is far less direct and pleasant than I really show my skills.

Han Dang had nothing to do in the afternoon, but he didn't like to fight, so he reluctantly declined a few words.

"Han Zhuangshi, just show your hand and let everyone have a look."

"Yes, yes, but let's learn from each other."

"Why do you care about small knots?"

People say the same, but Zhang Yuan followed, "Han Yigong, you are not interesting enough. Could it be that you dislike me waiting now? Don't treat us as outsiders."

Han Dang thought for a while, seemed to be a little anxious, and said, "If you are brothers with me, Han Dang, you must be your own people. It's just that Han is used to being clean and doesn't like to make trouble. Otherwise, why don't you wrestle with everyone one-on-one and have two moves at will?

As soon as this statement came out, the noisy scene gradually converging. The person is unintentional, and the listener has a heart. Han Dang is tall and has a strong man and a look of Kong Wu. Earlier, he could beat Zhang Yuan and others with an enemy. At this time, who can be an opponent if he fights alone? Many people sounded as if Han Dang was deliberately unwilling to participate in the drills of big guys.

Han Dang saw the situation and realized that what he had just said was ambiguous, but he was not good at arguing and could only speak silently.

At a time when the atmosphere became more and more awkward, Gongsun Long, who was unknown, still looked smiling and said crookedly, "Why don't you let Brother Han and Mr. Zu have two hands? Earlier, Brother Han defeated Zhang Wenyi with outnumbered people, and Mr. Zu also defeated the Hu thief with outnumbered people. Isn't he evenly matched?

Zhang Yuan's face changed slightly, but his own embarrassing story was well known, so he did not react much.

And Han Dang's face was heavier, and he still didn't say a word, and his whole look seemed to be forbearance.

As for Zu Zhao, who was just a little abrupt and stunned, he thought quickly and realized that he would change the current embarrassing situation as soon as possible and give Han a step down. At the thought of this, he smiled cheerfully following Gongsun Long's tone and said, "I admired Brother Han's skills very much earlier, but it's a pity that my little brother knows himself and dares not hold on. Today, the brothers will show their skills with Brother Han. They are brave and willing to throw bricks to attract jade and ask Brother Han for advice.

Han Dang was not a coward, and now he is in an embarrassing situation. How could Zu Zhao not know how to help himself like this? He laughed and said, "Mr. Zu thinks highly of Han too much. Since it is a competition between friends, it is nothing more than a boost, Han is willing to teach his ancestors to make great moves. Please." After saying that, he took off the rattan bow and arrow bag on his body, threw it to the ground, rolled up his sleeves and strode forward.

When the people around saw it, they consciously gave up an open space and immediately replied with interest.

Zuzu Zhao took a breath, and walked forward with a calm attitude. For him, it is also a blessing to be able to compete with the famous general Han. He does not expect to win by chance. After all, they are different ages and the degree of experience. In addition, there is no need to care about winning or losing, and the men in the north should have a kind of heroism.

The two are facing each other and standing firmly.

Zu Zhaoyi arched his hand: "Brother Han, I have asked for advice." After saying that, he put on the posture of wrestling.

Han Dang laughed twice and then put on a serious posture.
