Chapter 403 Defeat Wu Song
In front of a tavern in the west of Qinghe County.
"Waiter, bring more wine. We haven't eaten enough yet."
"Are you still worried that we'll short you the money for your drinks?"
"Liu Dalang, Wu Erlang, your wine money has already been spent. You drank a lot today, so you should hurry back."
"I haven't had enough to drink yet! Come again! If you don't bring me some wine, I'll beat you to a pulp."
"No, I'll get it right away. I'll get it right away."
Not far away, Lai Fu pointed at the tallest of the drunkards in front of the tavern and said, "Master, that man is Wu Song."
Lu Cheng nodded. Without Lai Fu saying more, he could guess that this was Wu Song. It was because Wu Song looked so distinctive.
Although Wu Song was shaky and unsteady on his feet, he was nearly two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a strong body. He looked extremely strong, with strong facial features, a dignified appearance, bright eyes, and lofty words. He was truly a man with high spirits.
No wonder the original work describes Wu Song as a sky-shaking lion descending from the clouds, an earth-shaking Pixiu sitting on the throne, and a demon slayer from heaven. He is truly the Tai Sui God on earth.
But looking at his sturdy body, strong arms, and fists as big as sandbags, you can tell that Wu Song's strength is extraordinary.
With such a good physique, even if he has not practiced any martial arts, he can be a fierce general just by brute force. With such a figure standing there, he is like a wall, making people feel that it is difficult to shake.
Zhu Tong, the man with a beautiful beard whom I had seen in Yuncheng County before, was taller than Wu Song, but his body was not as broad as Wu Song, and he looked smaller than Wu Song.
Hearing that Wu Song was still asking for wine, Lu Cheng walked over and took out some silver and handed it to the waiter: "Give them more wine, good wine. I'll pay for their wine."
"Okay, sir, wait a moment."
Lu Cheng looked at the staggering Wu Song and asked, "Can you still drink like this?"
"Of course, we, Wu Song, can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Thank you for the treat, sir. After drinking your wine, we will be friends. I will treat you next time."
Back in the store, Wu Song picked up a jar of wine and didn't even bother to pour it into the bowl. He drank directly from the jar. Half of the wine went into his stomach and the other half went onto his body.
The young men on the side drank two or three bowls of wine each and fell drunk on the table.
Wu Song drank a whole jar of wine, then became a little confused and could not speak clearly, but he still wanted more.
The alcohol content of the liquor of this era is indeed not very high, but drinking too much can still cause problems.
Lu Cheng patted Wu Song on the shoulder and said, "That's enough."
"We...we can still drink."
Lu Cheng called to the waiter beside him, "Waiter, you should know the families of these young people, right? Please go and inform their families to come and pick them up."
As he spoke, Lu Cheng winked at Lai Fu who was standing beside him. Lai Fu took out some copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the second brother. The second brother immediately agreed with a smile on his face: "Okay, I'll go and call their family over."
Obviously, the waiter in this shop must do this kind of thing frequently, and he quickly notified the family.
After a while, people started to arrive one after another and took the drunk young men away one by one.
Finally, a short and stout man, about 1.4 meters tall, came to the door of the tavern carrying a shoulder pole.
The waiter at the side hurried forward to explain: "Wu Dalang, your brother just spent all the money for the wine, and he still wants to stay here for a drink. Thanks to this senior official for paying for your Erlang's wine."
Upon hearing this, Wu Dalang hurried forward to thank him: "Thank you very much, sir. How much did you pay for my brother's wine just now? I'll get it for you right away."
"It's just some wine money, you're welcome. I saw that this young man is big and strong, and he has a heroic spirit, so I sat at the same table with him to drink and make friends with him."
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. When my brother wakes up, I will let him thank you in person."
Lu Cheng nodded and said, "Laiwang, go and help send brother Wu Song home."
"Yes, Master."
Afterwards, Lai Wang supported Wu Song and went home with Wu Dalang.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng found an inn in the city to stay in.
The next morning, Lu Cheng had just finished breakfast when he saw Wu Song coming to his door.
After seeing Lu Cheng, Wu Song clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you for inviting me to dinner yesterday. Wu Song is honored. I heard from my brother that the official's surname is Lu?"
"Yes, my surname is Lu and my name is Cheng. Brother Wu, you don't have to be polite. It is fate that we meet. I saw that Brother Wu is strong and looks like a brave man, so I want to make friends with him. Brother Wu, have you learned martial arts?"
"I have learned some boxing skills."
"That's perfect. I also like martial arts. How about we have a competition and make friends through martial arts?"
"Wu Song is very happy. But it is a bit difficult to show our abilities in the city. Why don't we go out and find an open space?"
"Just to my liking."
Afterwards, the two of them left as soon as they said they would, went straight out of the city gate, came outside the city, found an open space, and set up their positions.
"Mr. Lu, Wu Song's fists are blind, so you better be careful."
"If you can defeat me, I will treat you to three meals of wine and meat. You will be full."
"Okay! It's a deal!"
When Wu Song heard that there would be free wine and meat, he became excited. He immediately saluted, then clenched his fists and rushed towards Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng wanted to test Wu Song's strength and did not dodge.
Wu Song was not aware of Lu Cheng's strength, and was afraid of hurting Lu Cheng, so he only used 30% of his strength. Before his fist arrived, he saw that Lu Cheng did not dodge, so he withdrew 20% of his strength.
Unexpectedly, Lu Cheng just slightly turned sideways, grabbed Wu Song's wrist with one hand, pushed Wu Song outward, and pushed Wu Song back: "Brother Wu Song, don't hold back."
Wu Song moved his wrist, felt the force just now, and put away some of his contempt. When he attacked again, he used 70% of his strength.
With a "bang", the two fists collided directly. Wu Song took a step back, then shouted loudly, no longer holding back, and suddenly raised his leg and swept towards Lu Cheng.
Feeling the terrifying force of this kick, Lu Cheng did not take it head-on. He turned around and dodged, kicking out with the same leg, hitting Wu Song's leg from the side.
In martial arts, the hands are the two doors, while the legs are the only ones used to attack. Wu Song is obviously good at leg skills. After being kicked by Lu Cheng, his body was a little unstable, but he quickly threw himself to the ground, supported himself with his hands, and kicked towards Lu Cheng with his legs in a series.
This move was very clever, and Wu Song's combat reaction was also very quick, but Lu Cheng still managed to avoid these attacks with his even greater agility, and the two men distanced themselves again.
"Brother Wu, this move is really ingenious."
"Too bad it didn't work. Try again!"
The two men rushed forward again, their fists as fast as the wind, their kicks as fast as lightning, their clothes fluttering, raising clouds of dust, and their fists and feet collided with a dull thud.
In a blink of an eye, the two men had exchanged more than twenty moves, and Lu Cheng also figured out Wu Song's background.
In terms of strength and speed, Wu Song is stronger than Chao Gai, but Wu Song is young and does not have as much combat experience as Chao Gai.
Moreover, Wu Song's leg techniques are quite methodical and obviously he has received instruction from famous masters. They are very exquisite. However, Wu Song has not yet mastered them to perfection and his personal fighting strength has not yet reached its peak.
Now that he had figured out his opponent's strength, Lu Cheng used all his strength. When their fists and feet collided again, Lu Cheng suddenly exerted force, grabbed one of Wu Song's arms with his right hand, twisted it backwards, and pushed his knee forward, forcing Wu Song to kneel on the ground.
Wu Song still wanted to resist, but he couldn't break free. After struggling for a while, he admitted defeat: "Master Lu is so awesome! I, Wu Song, lose!"
Lu Cheng laughed and let go of Wu Song: "It was a great fight today. Let's go into the city and I'll treat you to a drink."
When Wu Song heard that there was wine to drink, he immediately stood up and said, "Will you buy me a drink even if I lose the fight?"
"of course."
"Good! Mr. Lu, your kung fu is amazing. Wu Song admires you. Moreover, you are stronger than me."
"You're pretty good too. This is the first time I've met someone who can fight me to this extent. What's the point of that leg technique you used before?"
"This is what a master taught me before. It's called the Jade Ring Step and the Mandarin Duck Leg. Unfortunately, that master said that I was born aggressive and was unwilling to teach me too much."
