Chapter 813: Bet
Li Hun was defeated, and if Ding Kui was defeated again, it would be a very serious blow to the morale of the defenders in the city.
Cao Xiong can't let this happen again, so he has to win.
Now, only if he fights can he defeat Hu Bo.
Even if he can't kill Hu Bo, at least he shouldn't be defeated.
After all, he had defeated Hu Bo before.
"Shut up, today is the battle between me and Hu Bo, only if I defeat Hu Bo, the tens of thousands of Yuan troops can retreat, I am the Taishou of Linyang, I have the responsibility to protect the people of Linyang City!"
Ning Xiaofan also heard his words.
He really didn't expect Cao Xiong to have such a love for the people.
Soon Cao Xiong changed into armor and looked at Xia Jinxi: "Your Royal Highness Princess, if I win, everyone can say, if you are unfortunate to live and die, then you will have to wronged Her Royal Highness the Princess to stay as a hostage, this is also my helpless move in Linyang City, after all, you are going to the Yuan Kingdom." ”
As soon as Cao Xiong's words came out.
Xia Jinxi's face was extremely ugly, and Cao Xiong didn't treat him as a royal princess at all.
"It's all this princess who is causing trouble, Taishou, tie her up and send her to Yuanguo, and the crisis in our Linyang City will definitely be solved." ”
"yes, Taishou!"
The people of Linyang City around them all agreed.
Obviously, in their eyes, the princess of the empire is worthless, they are Song people, not people of the empire.
Cao Xiong waved his hand and said coldly: "Taking the princess as a hostage is also a helpless move, as long as I am not dead, no one is allowed to hurt the princess, the purpose of the Yuan army is very clear, that is, to capture the land of the Song Kingdom, so it doesn't matter to them where the princess is, even if the princess is given to the Yuan Kingdom, they will not stop the army." ”
After Cao Xiong said this, he immediately walked downstairs to the city tower.
The defenders who followed him also followed.
When Cao Xiong walked towards the city gate, those Cao family members and those famous families almost surrounded Xia Jinxi at this moment, and it seemed that as long as Cao Xiong had any mistakes, they would immediately take down this imperial princess.
At this moment, Xia Jinxi really understood that in the eyes of these vassal states, the princess of the royal family was even inferior to a beggar on the side of the road.
Ning Xiaofan looked at the person in front of him lightly.
He understood Cao Xiong's thoughts, and he also respected Cao Xiong's thoughts, including that if someone really did anything to Xia Jinxi, he Ning Xiaofan would definitely kill him.
The city gate opened, and Cao Xiong rode a black horse and slowly walked to the front of the formation.
When Hu Bo saw Cao Xiong come out, his face was immediately full of excitement: "Cao Xiong, I thought you were as timid as a mouse now, but I didn't expect you to really dare to come out, it seems that you are really invincible in Linyang City." ”
Cao Xiong looked at Hu Bo coldly and said, "Since you want to find death, I can't help it, I can only fulfill you." ”
Hu Bo laughed again: "Haha, Cao Xiong, Cao Xiong, today is your mortal day, I want to chop you into meat sauce to pay tribute to my family's soul in the sky." ”
"Are you so happy?" Cao Xiong said: "Do you think of your dead family, so you are so happy, no wonder, you are a thing that betrays the Lord and seeks glory, for the life and death of your family, you must not be too sad, maybe you are very excited, right, so you still have the opportunity to go to the Yuan Kingdom to be a general." ”
Hear Cao Xiong's taunt.
Hu Bo's face was full of anger, although he laughed, but every time he thought that his family had died tragically at the hands of Cao Xiong, he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
"Look for death. ”
Hu Bo was furious, straddled the war horse and rushed towards Cao Xiong.
Cao Xiong was not timid at all, and rushed towards Hu Bo on the black war horse. 、
Because it was a battle between the two main generals, even Cao Xiong's guards did not dare to step forward at this moment.
Both of them use knives, the difference is that Hu Bo uses a scimitar and Cao Xiong uses a long knife.
The two of them approached in the blink of an eye, and the swords in their hands quickly touched each other.
Obviously, Cao Xiong is much stronger than Li Hun before, at least he and Hu Bo should be evenly matched, the two of them come and go, the exchange is extremely fast, and the rapid metal collision sound makes the soldiers on both sides look at them intently.
They were all looking forward to the victory of their lord, because then the battle would almost be finalized.
In the blink of an eye, the two fought for twenty or thirty rounds, and they were still evenly matched.
At this time, the Cao family and those famous families on the upper floor of the city gate were inseparable from each other, but they were all very happy.
"Cao Taishou's strength is really the same as it was back then, if he continues to fight, Cao Taishou will win. ”
"Yes, Cao Taishou is the number one master of our Linyang City, once he goes out, he will definitely win, haha, I must kill Hu Bo's traitor today, let everyone know that the traitor has absolutely no good end. ”
"yes, yes. ”
The people around him echoed the voice.
At this time, Xia Jinxi and Dong'er were also very nervous looking at the battle in the field.
Mainly because of the words that Cao Xiong said when he went out to fight before, if Cao Xiong was unfortunately defeated, then they might be finished.
So now Xia Jinxi and Dong'er very much hope that Cao Xiong will win, although they also hate Cao Xiong very much.
However, at this time, Ning Xiaofan stared at this battle, but his brows furrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "Cao Xiong is going to lose." ”
What the?
When he said this, Xia Jinxi and Dong'er were startled.
Now that it is clear that there is no distinction between superior and inferior, how could Ning Xiaofan say that Cao Xiong will lose?
At this moment, the people who heard this didn't know about Xia Jinxi and Dong'er, as well as the Cao family and those guards.
They all glared at Ning Xiaofan angrily.
"You guy of unknown origin, you dare to curse us too much, are you looking for death. A guard directly pulled out his long sword and pointed it at Ning Xiaofan.
Ning Xiaofan glanced at the guard and said, "Keep your sword or use it to kill the enemy, but I can make a bet to you, within ten rounds, your Cao Taishou will lose." ”
"!"
The Cao family next to him also shouted: "What kind of thing are you, do you know whose family this Linyang City is." ”
Ning Xiaofan smiled and said, "It's better like this, let's make a bet, if I win, you will kowtow to Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
At this time, a young man in his thirties glared at Ning Xiaofan and shouted, "Then what if you lose?"
Ning Xiaofan laughed and said, "I won't lose." ”
"Joke, you won and we kowtowed, but you didn't say the punishment for your loss, you are clearly playing us. ”
As soon as he said this, the surrounding Cao family members and guards became angry at this moment.
"Heads on the ground!"
At this moment, Ning Xiaofan said lightly.
"What?" Those people were stunned when they heard Ning Xiaofan's words, and obviously they didn't understand what Ning Xiaofan meant by this.
Ning Xiaofan said again: "If I lose, my head will fall to the ground." ”
Yes?
When these people heard Ning Xiaofan's words, all of them were startled.
They really didn't expect that Ning Xiaofan would say such a thing, you know, this kind of thing can't be said casually, if you lose, wouldn't it cost your life?
At this time, the young man suddenly laughed and said, "Arrogant boy, it seems that you are really looking for death, okay, then we will bet with you, hmph, if you lose, you will definitely die here." ”
Ning Xiaofan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since that's the case, let's continue to watch, but I hope you can keep your promises, otherwise, hehe, I will be angry." ”
Everyone listened to Ning Xiaofan's words, but they felt that this person was a madman.
Who do you think you are, and what can you do if you're angry? This is Linyang City.
However, at this time, when everyone went to watch Cao Xiong and Hu Bo fight, Cao Xiong was obviously at a disadvantage.
As Cao Xiong, who is the Taishou of Linyang, has indeed been a little erosive in his life in recent years, and this is exactly the case, so Cao Xiong's body has declined compared to before.
Since he is a master of martial arts, his physical function has not decreased significantly, but this is usual, if he encounters a battle like today, although he is still very brave at the beginning, but once he fights for a long time, then those bad symptoms on his body will appear.
Suddenly, the scimitar in Hu Bo's hand slashed obliquely, Cao Xiong was startled, and his upper body hurriedly dodged, but at this time, the head of the horse that Cao Xiong was riding was exposed to Hu Bo's knife.
Poof!
Hu Bo's scimitar slashed at the horse's head in an instant.
Suddenly, plasma erupted.
The horse didn't even have a chance to react before it went straight down.
And Cao Xiong, who was sitting on the horse, also fell to the ground with the horse.
After all, Hu Bo was also a master, and he was also a good fighter, so he pulled the reins, and the two front hooves of the horse he was riding were raised high, and it seemed that he was about to step on Cao Xiong.
Cao Xiong fell to the ground, and the long knife in his hand also came out of his hand, and at this moment, he was stunned when he saw the horse's front hooves kicking over.
He wanted to dodge, but it was obviously too late at this time.
At this moment, the city gate is upstairs.
Whether it was the Cao family or those famous families and guards, they were also stunned.
They never imagined that Cao Xiong, the number one master of Linyang City, as the pillar of Linyang City, would die under Hu Bo's horse at this moment.
You must know that when Ning Xiaofan said just now, they still felt that their Linyang Taishou Cao Xiong was invincible, but now it seems that ...... I'm afraid their guards are dead.
Boom!
A shrill voice suddenly rang out.
All the people on the city gate, including Xia Jinxi and Dong'er, were taken aback.
In the meantime, look at the battlefield again.
The horse that Hu Bo was riding, the horse's head suddenly burst out of the bloody arrow, and with that inertia, the horse Hu Bo was riding went directly to the side.
Hu Bo even fell to the ground with his men and horses at this moment.
