Han Shizhong looked at Yang Chengye and said: "Chengye, you also know that I have made a marriage contract with your father, you should call me Father-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Chengye hesitated for a moment. After all, he had met Han Shizhong's daughter before, and in fact, she wasn't the kind of woman he had idealized: "This...".
"Never mind," said Han Shizhong, "after all, you're still young and can't change your ways overnight."
Hesitated for a moment, Han Shizhong said to the housekeeper: "Today, I will spare you because of my brother-in-law's sake. If there is a next time, I will break your legs!"
Han Shizhong finished speaking and led Yang Chengye into the Han Mansion's main gate.
The Han Mansion covers a large area of land, and upon entering the gate, one sees a martial arts training ground. The surrounding area is laid out with eighteen types of weapons including knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and spears.
There were over a dozen young people wearing martial arts uniforms practicing together in pairs, looking like they were on fire.
Han Shizhong as a first-class imperial envoy, spent his whole life on the battlefield, so the Han family has always been known for its military tradition.
"Old Master!"
As soon as Han Shizhong returned to his residence, everyone stopped and bowed to him.
Two young men in their twenties stepped forward and said: "Dad!"
Han Shi Zhong nodded and introduced: "Cheng Ye, these two are Uncle's sons Tian Long and Tian Hu."
"Tian Long, Tian Hu, this is Yang Zai Xing's son, Yang Cheng Ye, whom your father has told you about."
Han Tianlong is a seven-foot-tall young man with a sturdy build, while Han Tiantao is slightly shorter but also muscular. The two look quite alike.
After listening to Han Shizhong's introduction, both of them bowed their hands to Yang Chengye and said: "Brother Yang."
Yang Chengye also cupped his hands in a salute and said: "I have seen both elder brothers."
Then Han Tianlong said, "I heard my father say that in those years, Uncle Yang led eight thousand soldiers to defend Xiao Shang Bridge, and the thirty million Jin army was defeated. With a single spear of the Yang family, the Jin army cried out for their fathers and mothers, and I am very envious."
"I wonder if Brother Yang can let us take a look at the Yang family spear and show off his skills?"
Yang Chengye smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm weak in body, my father didn't teach me much of the Yang family spear techniques, let's not make a fool of myself."
To be honest, Yang Chengye did secretly watch Yang Zaixing and Yang Jizhou practice the Yang family spear when he was a child, but it has been so long that he has almost forgotten.
As the saying goes, it takes ten years to master a sword and a hundred years to master a gun, which shows how difficult it is to master gunplay. However, once mastered, its power should not be underestimated.
Hearing Yang Chengye's words, Han Tianhuo disdainfully curled his lip and said: "I think Brother Yang doesn't want us to watch, is he afraid we'll steal the Yang family spear techniques?"
"Second brother, you mustn't be rude!"
Han Tianlong scolded Han Tienhu.
Han Shizhong watched all this with a smile on his face and did not stop him. He also wanted to see if Yang Chengye had inherited the Yang family spear.
At this time, Niu Man suddenly said: "I think you want to fight with Lao Da."
"Like this, you guys fight with me first, and if you win against me, then you'll have the qualification to challenge the boss."
When he heard this, Han Shizhong looked at Niu Meng and asked: "This is...?"
Yang Chengye replied: "This is my brother, Niu Gao's second son, Niu Mao."
"Oh?"
After listening to Yang Chengye's introduction, Han Shizhong curiously said: "It turned out to be the son of Niu brothers, it really looks like him!"
Niu Meng continued staring at Han Tianlong and said: "How about it? Dare you fight me?"
Han Tianlong was slightly better, but Han Tiantao's temper was very violent, and he shouted loudly: "What are you afraid of? Let's go and try it out!"
Han Tianhu finished speaking and returned to the martial arts arena with Han Tianlong, while those people from the Han Mansion also stood at the edge of the martial arts arena watching.
"Boss, I'll be right back!"
Niu Meng said to Yang Chengye.
Yang Chengye nodded and reminded: "Be gentle when you take action, don't hurt anyone!"
When Niu Miao heard this, he responded with a "yes", but these words were extremely piercing to Han Shizhong's ears. This clearly meant that his own son was not as good as Niu Gao's son.
But Han Shizhong did not show it, and continued to look at the martial arts arena.
Niú Mǎo took out his own two broad axes and stood facing Hán Tiān Hǔ, who was holding a long spear.
Yang Chengye discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, Niu Ma's two-handled board axe was always placed on his body. He once asked Niu Ma, and Niu Ma said the board axe was his eating utensil, of course he had to carry it with him.
Moreover, he always treated his broadaxe as his brother, keeping it by his side at all times to foster a bond, so that when fighting, he could wield it with ease and precision.
Yang Chengye never thought that Niu Mang's understanding of weapons was so brilliant, it can also be said to be another kind.
At this time, in the martial arts arena, Han Tianhu stood facing Niu Meng with a long spear in his hand.
In ancient times, the functions of spear and halberd were combined into one, which was a close combat weapon consisting of a spearhead and a handle. The spearhead was made of metal materials, while the handle was made of wood or bamboo.
The longest spear can reach over three meters, which can be used for straight stabbing, piercing and hooking, and is a sharp weapon for infantry and cavalry.
Lü Bu of the Three Kingdoms period used this weapon, and his use of a single halberd was so divine that he ranked first among the great generals of the Three Kingdoms.
Using a spear requires extremely high physical strength, if one's physical strength is not enough, let alone fighting the enemy, just the weight of the spear can crush someone to the ground. It can be seen that Han Tianhu is also a contestant who excels in strength.
"Black kid, get ready, I'm coming!"
Han Tianhu shook his long spear and stabbed at Niu Meng immediately.
A cow and a wooden board clashed with a loud crash, and it roared: "I'm afraid you won't make it!"
Niu Meng shouted as he swung his broad axe towards Han Tianhu's long spear.
The broadaxe and long spear clashed, producing a loud crash. The two men simultaneously retreated one step back, but Niu Mang quickly advanced two steps forward again, his broadaxe chopping down towards Han Tianhu's head.
Just now, a blow shook Han Tianhu's arm numb, knowing that Niu Mang's strength was great, and he immediately put away his contemptuous heart. Now seeing Niu Mang's axe chopping down, he didn't dare to be slow, and hurriedly raised his long spear to block it.
Niú Mǎo suddenly withdrew his board axe just as it was about to split the long spear, and another board axe swung horizontally towards Hán Tiān Hǔ's neck.
Niu Meng's sudden movement startled everyone, thinking that his board axe would chop down Han Tianhu's long spear again. Unexpectedly, Niu Meng played a clever trick and didn't clash head-on with Han Tianhu at all.
If Niu Meng's axe chopped into the neck of Han Tianhu, it would surely behead him. On the side, Han Tianlong clenched his fists tightly, with cold sweat in his hands.
Only Yang Chengye was calm and composed, he knew that Niu Meng wasn't a rash person, his actions were extremely measured.
Han Tianhu held up his long spear, ready to make another hard hit on Niu Meng's axe, but unexpectedly, Niu Meng withdrew his axe and swung it at his own neck, unable to stop, and was suddenly frightened half to death.
But just as Niu Meng's axe was about to chop off Han Tianhu's neck, Niu Meng's axe suddenly flipped over and the back of the axe struck Han Tianhu's shoulder. With a "crack", Han Tianhu's shoulder instantly collapsed.
"Ah!"
Han Tianhu let out a miserable cry and dropped his long spear, falling to the ground.
