    In Chang'an City in March, the warm sun during the day is very comfortable. When the sun sets in the west, the temperature drops significantly. A single robe still feels a bit chilly, but in the small school grounds of Youwuwei, the surroundings are  There was a large group of people standing there, as if they were watching some good show. Among them were many sergeants wearing armor. The crowd formed a large circle, and in the circle stood two people. They were the two people who had a fight in the martial arts examination room today.  People Qin Xuan and An Qingzong.

    Qin Xuan did not fight back against An Qingzong's insults and provocations, not because he was afraid of him or tolerant of others. This result was what he wanted. An Qingzong's repeated troubles were just to anger him, and Qin Xuan was also there  Provoking An Qingzong, making him furious, making him unable to bear it, and voluntarily proposed a duel, and everything fell into place. An Qingzong couldn't help it, and took the lead in proposing a contest. This contest was not a life-and-death fight, because it was illegal, but between two people.  Fight with fists and kicks.

    In the Tang Dynasty, fighting was illegal, but in this kind of agreed-upon fight, as long as there was no death or disability between the two people, both parties agreed not to sue the officials, and generally no one would care, just like two warriors competing against each other.  The government does not have enough time to care about such things. If one party is injured and sues the government, then he may be despised by everyone. He is not afraid of losing, but breaking an agreement is the most despised thing, and in this era  People pay special attention to reputation, except of course rogues.

    At that time, the two of them had agreed on a duel tonight in the rest area of ??the martial arts examination room. It was not a life and death duel, it was equivalent to a martial arts competition in the ring, but no equipment was used. It was a fist fight. The bet was also very interesting. It did not involve money, but it was also related to money.  Regarding this, go and buy twenty young men, along with five fine horses.

    Originally, Anqingzong said that the loser would win a thousand coins, but Qin Xuan rejected this proposal. Mixing money with money was like gambling, and it was easy to be criticized, so he proposed to go to the market to buy twenty young men.  He took the mounts of several of them outside, because Qin Xuan found that the mounts of several of them were quite impressive. A good horse in this era basically cost two to three hundred guan. As for Qin Xuan's own mount, it was worth at least several thousand guan.  , but you can¡¯t buy it, it¡¯s priceless.

    Qin Xuan probably also estimated the price of their mounts. According to the price of each horse, it is 200 guan, which is one thousand guan. One young man sells for about 50 guan, and twenty is exactly 1,000 guan. He raised the bet to 2,000 guan.  In this way, the loser will give so many gifts to the winner, and he will not be afraid of people criticizing gambling. Of course, only Qin Xuan, Zhai Tanzhuan and Anqing Zong know these things. According to Qin Xuan's intention, at least five thousand guan would be enough, but Anqing Zong did not  So much money.

    An Qingzong was not as good as his father, An Lushan. He was just a second-generation official. An Lushan was very rich, but it did not mean that he was rich. Qin Xuan thought about blackmailing this boy, but he didn't expect that he was not so rich.  It's a lot of money, otherwise he wouldn't just ask the loser to get a thousand guan. He only has more than 1,000 guan on himself. If he loses, he can get 2,000 guan from others.

    However, Qin Xuan said to use horses to support him, and An Qingzong was also very satisfied. Even if he lost, he could at least keep some money and return to Anton without being penniless. However, An Qingzong never thought that  He will lose, but he is also a cautious person and will not be too conceited. Even if he is sure of victory, he will also leave himself a way out. This kind of competition may push the opponent to a dead end and may also push himself to a dead end.

    "You two, before the competition, announce the rules and compare martial arts to the point. Don't hurt anyone's life, but fists and feet have no eyes. Those who are injured are responsible. Do you two agree to the above agreement?

    "Agree" Qin Xuan and An Qingzong replied at the same time.

    "Fight with bare hands, fists and kicks. Do not use equipment, including bricks, tiles, bamboo sticks, etc. Anyone who violates this will lose. Can you two agree?"

    "agree"

    "If the defeated party voluntarily admits defeat, the other party will not be able to attack. If it does not admit defeat, it can continue to attack until it admits defeat. You can agree."

    "agree"

    "Okay, that's all, you guys can move around and we'll start in a minute"

    The person who announced the contract was an officer of Youwuwei. He was called as a witness. This witness was not in vain. Qin Xuan promised to give him two bottles of fine gold liquor, and the news of the competition between the two was also revealed on the right.  Word spread in the Wuwei barracks, and a gambling game was immediately started. This man was also an officer, but I heard that he was very rich. The gambling game was very simple. He was the banker, and he always paid 1.5 Guan when he lost against Qin Xuan, and he always paid 1.5 Guan when he won against Qin Xuan.  The payout is 400 Wen, the minimum bet is always the same, there is no upper limit for higher bets.

    Now the Youwu Guards is very lively. In addition to the government offices, there are also many military camps in the Imperial City. People from each guard station come to place bets. Most of those who can serve as officers in the Imperial City Guard Station are the children of officials, and they are here to participate in the martial arts competition this time.  There are also many rich people. Qin Xuan bet with Anqing Zong in private. These people used him as a bureau and participated in the bet semi-publicly. When Qin Xuan found out, he asked Zhai Tanzhuan to place a bet and gave him a thousand  If you buy it, you will win, and Zhai Tanzhuan also bought one hundredGuan Qinxuan wins, although he is not optimistic about him. For the sake of his friends, even if he loses, the money will be lost.

    This time, all the peripheral gambling games were made with cash, and basically all were exchanged with coins. After the "commercial bank" opened, it was very convenient to have coins that could be deposited and withdrawn at any time. Few people were carrying heavy bags of coins.  Most wealthy people can just put a few gold and silver coins on their person for pocket use. If they deposit a large amount of money in a bank, there will be interest, so it is convenient to carry it around.

    The love of gambling is probably a common trait of many people. No matter in that era, gambling was repeatedly banned. Gambling was not allowed by the court regulations. However, there were many gambling places in Chang'an City. If it was not possible, they would do it secretly. As long as no one was killed, these underground casino businesses  It's very popular. There are a lot of temporary bets like today's competition between Qin Xuan and the others. They pay the money in one hand and register at the same time. After the competition, the group will be disbanded as soon as the money is divided, which is convenient and fast.

    Many people began to privately inquire about the details of Qin Xuan and the Anqing Sect, and found out the inside information. It turned out that this Qin Xuan was a literary official, and in this martial arts assessment, he could not even shoot an arrow. As for his kung fu, there was no such thing.  People know that An Qingzong is from the Pinglu Army. He is an officer. It is said that he has great kung fu. He is not as brave as ten thousand men but can be as brave as a hundred men. He is skilled in bow and horse. It is also known that he is the fierce general An of the Pinglu Army.  Lushan's son, the betting results showed a one-sided trend, with most people betting on Anqing Zong to win.

    Anyone who dares to make this bet must be rich and bold, and he must be able to afford to lose. This one-sided bet will probably cost the banker a lot of money, but this officer doesn't care. The key is that he can afford to lose, and everyone knows it.  His family is rich, and the people who place bets are not worried about his default. As for how much money he received from the bets, they will keep it secret.

    At this time, it was not dark yet on the school grounds. Qin Xuan and the others were already surrounded by hundreds of people watching, while An Qingzong took off his narrow-sleeved Hu clothes and wore a sleeveless short coat on his upper body and a loose white lower body.  He wears long trousers, a pair of black combat boots on his feet, and a black cloth belt tied around his waist. If he wears a white cloth belt on his head, he will look like the Japanese warriors of later generations.

    An Qingzong was indeed very strong. His arms were thick and veined like twigs. His bulging biceps and deltoid muscles looked like they were infinitely powerful. His arms were as thick as ordinary people's thighs. His short coat was slightly open, and his chest was dark.  A piece of chest hair, coupled with the thick black hair on the forearm, it is like wearing a suede fur.

    At this time, Qin Xuan was still dressed as he was during the day. His upper body was originally a half-length warrior monk suit that just covered his hips.  Zongshi was the winner, they were about the same height, and Anqingzong had a beard and looked even more powerful.

    "Compared with the one named An, this guy named Qin is just a pretty boy"

    "That's right, this boy is handsome enough. Apart from being taller, he is here to be abused."

    "I think it's about the same. I heard that this man named An is very brave in the Pinglu Army. There are few people who can match him, and he is the best in the Pinglu Army. Now it's interesting."

    "This guy surnamed Qin should not be underestimated. I heard that in today's level shooting test, he could hit the target almost every time he threw a stone from a hundred steps away. At least he still has strength and good endurance."

    "Endurance is of great use. Those who survive a life-and-death battle on the battlefield are not comparable to ordinary people."

    There was a lot of discussion among the crowd, and without exception, most of them were optimistic about Anqingzong. At this time, Anqingzong was also very proud. He looked at Qin Xuan like a little sheep waiting to be abused by him. He might have been beaten.  The person who is favored by the Holy Spirit, but in today's duel, if he is beaten until he can't get up, then even if the Holy Spirit knows about it, it's hard to say anything. Moreover, he may discover his bravery, and there is no guarantee that he will be favored by the Holy Spirit.  , Anqingzong slandered.

    If Qin Xuan does not agree to this competition today, Anqingzong will really not be able to take action. Even if there is still a corner, if this guy is eliminated before meeting him, the plan to teach him a lesson will be in vain. He will secretly find an opportunity.  Lesson, such an opportunity is probably hard to find, and it is impossible to do it on the street. Fortunately, he agreed to the competition without hesitation. Finally, he no longer had to think of other ways. The only thing to do was to give him a black nose and a swollen face.  He can't even think about participating in tomorrow's martial arts examination.

    "Okay, you two, are you ready?"

    "alright"

    "Start now,

    Following the referee's order, An Qingzong walked slowly towards Qin Xuan with a smile. At the same time, he secretly accumulated strength with his hands, and slowly raised his two fists as big as bowls, making a fighting posture.  Just like the boxers of later generations, except that he didn't jump around, judging from his physique and figure, he was at least a sub-heavyweight boxer. He steadily pushed towards Qin Xuan, his eyes fixed on his shoulders.

    An Qingzong was a guy who looked very confident on the surface but didn't underestimate his opponent in his heart. He didn't take action immediately, he just wanted to force Qin Xuan to take action first. He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were always watching his every move.  When he was less than two steps away from Qin Xuan, he was not waiting.

    "Punch me!" An Qingzong shouted, and his old fist as big as a bowl hit Qin Xuan's face?A guy who was very confident but didn't underestimate his opponent in his heart.
