Chapter 548 Hamlet
King knew that this duke would not be so generous, and he would definitely change his way to do something, and now he completely understood. William's hand is not unskilful, first calling himself short, and then making a weak appointment, which is difficult to refuse, and King himself is not worried about anything.
"And what are you going to do if you want to get it back?" King asked.
"The Oriental Orchestra performed so well in England that there was no decent stage performance in the whole British Empire after a tour to other parts of Europe, but I was one of many people who had recently re-performed Hamlet in the theatre. But when I looked at Hamlet, I found something: the prince was a master of the sword, and he could kill the king in plain sight. A friend of mine said to me that it was absolutely impossible, no matter how good a person was at swordsmanship, it was impossible to kill the king openly, so I thought of king. He turned to the group, "King has a legendary experience in the United States, challenging thirty-one special forces by himself. Mind you, that's special forces. ”
Some of the audience knew about this experience, but after all, this was in the UK, and no one would associate a music master with a martial arts strongman, and most of them didn't know about that thing.
"Since you have such a strong strength, why don't you try your hand at swordsmanship? I think it's a good way to compete, but I wonder what King thinks? ”
"Swordsmanship?" King smiled, "That's still very different from martial arts, but I've also learned some, is the Duke going to find someone to try swordsmanship with me?" ”
"No, no," William said, "I think martial arts are the same thing, because they're all about strength, agility, skill. I don't think it's fair for a person to compete with a king. ”
King looked at him with a smile, "How can that be fair?" Your Excellency Duke is trying to find a crowd to beat me? ”
"Of course not, of course not," Duke William clarified, "I hope that the king will play the role of the vengeful prince according to Hamlet's routine, rushing to the king's side under heavy guards and assassinating him." On the way, if the key part of the king is hit by the sword, it will be considered a failure. Of course, the swords we use are all training swords without openings, so it's just a game. If the King can reach the King by the guards, then I am willing to donate £1,000,000 for charity. ”
Jim's face showed a black line, William, the bastard, was too much, his bet was only to lose a million donations to charity, and if he won, he would win back his own mansion. "Well, so be it, I'll give you ten million pounds on behalf of the Tren Corporation in support of Lord Duke."
Nominally, he supports Duke William, but it is ten times higher than the duke's bid, indicating that he looks down on the duke's bid and is directly slapping him in the face. How could the Duke not know about this situation and glared at Jim, but it was not easy to attack on such an occasion, "Since the Tren family supports me so much, presumably King will definitely participate?" He immediately used the Tren family to run on King.
"That's 11 million to charity," King said, "and that's a good deal." Well, I rarely come to England, and if I win, the house will be auctioned, and all the money raised from the auction will go to charity. ”
"Oh, that's great!" Everyone applauded, so that if King could compete with him, it would be equivalent to going all his income to charity.
"In that case," said Jim, "then, win or lose, Tren's ten million pounds should be used for charity." Everyone applauded.
One million pounds is not a small amount for William now, but Jim and King have set an example, and he can't show weakness, otherwise not only his own face, but even the face of all British nobles will be lost, "Then whether you win or lose, my million pounds will also be donated to charity." William was a little snickering when he said this, because in spite of the million, he had actually taken advantage of it, and if King failed, wouldn't his mansion still have to be returned to him?
Thinking of this, he glanced at King proudly, only to find that the other party was also looking at him with a slight smile. At this moment, he was a little weak-hearted, and the other party obviously knew his trick, but he didn't break it.
The competition was scheduled for the second day, and seeing that Lee Hyori and the others were all elated, King was a little puzzled, "Hyori, aren't you worried about me at all?" I'm going to challenge dozens of people to fencing by myself. ”
"So what's there to worry about?" Lee Hyo-ri said, "Isn't it the kind of fencing used for sports? It can't hurt anyone. In Europe, everyone else watches our performances, but this time we finally have the opportunity to see Brother Zhenwu's performance, can we not be happy? ”
"That's true, but I've never lost, and this time that William asked me to play fencing, but I don't think I'm familiar with these Western things, so you don't worry about me losing?"
"This," Li Xiaoli smiled narrowly, "We are very confident in Brother Zhenwu, it's not that the world's martial arts are interconnected, that is definitely possible." ”
"Really?" King asked, "Shouldn't I be very impressed by your support?" ”
"Of course," Lee Hyo-ri said, "we are all members of the Oriental Orchestra from South Korea, so who can we support if we don't support Brother Zhenwu?" ”
"Oh," King nodded, "but I've heard that some of them just made a small bet on this contest, and one named Lee Hyori bet 10,000 won and lost it when I got to the king, is there another one in our group named Lee Hyori?" ”
"Ah, this," Li Xiaoli secretly moved towards the door as he listened, "Actually, it's like this, Brother Zhenwu, you always win, you win, we are all tired of watching, and if you lose once in a while, it's actually good that everyone has more topics." She ran away as she spoke, then she must have to settle accounts with Yuzhu Hyun, she is the dealer.
King shouted from behind, "Lee Hyo-ri, you're betting too little, if you bet 10 billion won, I can consider being stabbed by them in front of the king, hahaha." ”
The official competition finally came, and the location was arranged to be the location where the original Hamlet film version was filmed, which was said to achieve the maximum fairness, and the students of the Royal Sword Academy were invited here.
King, who changed into a white swordsman suit, gave people a delicate and cold feeling, and compared with the students in blue clothes opposite, it seemed to have a feeling of standing out from the crowd. The same feeling was given to William, but he didn't care, even if King was really a crane, and those students were really chickens, so many chickens were enough to peck a crane to death, right?
"Lord Duke, I don't know how you can be so confident that you will definitely be able to win him, in terms of numbers, it may not be more than 31 special forces, right?"
"That is, the comprehensive strength of these people will not be stronger than those special forces, but the problem is that there are no rules in the confrontation in the United States, but this time to obey the rules of swordsmanship, King's advantage will be greatly weakened, and we are the embodiment of the greatest advantage, I still don't believe it, none of the thirty swords can stab King."
"Well," said Jim, watching King put white ash on his sword head and the students on his sword head with blue ash, "Actually, I'm more optimistic about King." ”
As they talked, King was ready, "By the way, what about the King?" Which is the king? You're not going to forget about it, are you? ”
William did forget about the king's setting when he was preparing, and in his mind, in the face of thirty swords, the defeat of the king was only a matter of time, what difference did it make if there was no king or not? Seeing this, King shook his head, "You guys were too negligent in your preparation, so that you can be the 'king' yourself, your Excellency, right?" When the time comes, I'll stab you gently. ”
(Is the Duke trying to get revenge on King by playing the role of one of the princes, assassinating the king under the siege of thirty swordsmen, is it a simple or complicated task?) )
