Chapter Twenty-Four: Someone Snatched Alive
Ten days ago, it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that Xu Jian, a gentleman in the sword, was going to compete with Mo Ziqi, a high-roller in the sword, in Liujiazhuang, one of these two was a famous son and the other was a child of a big faction, but now they are making a competition for some reason, but no matter what, the competition between the two of them has attracted many characters to watch.
In the evening, Liujiazhuang.
This is a fairly large courtyard, the mansion in the courtyard is exquisite and beautiful, there is a vacant lot in the courtyard, and now a ring has been built on it, the ring has more than a dozen zhang square circle and three zhang high, and many seats are placed on the periphery of the ring.
At this time, there were already people watching the battle, and the housekeeper of Liujiazhuang was telling jokes with the guests, and two beautiful maidservants carried delicate plates and put the fruits on the table for the guests to enjoy.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the characters who came to watch the battle gathered more and more, and finally surrounded the entire periphery of the ring, which seemed bustling for a while.
"Brother Deming, who do you say is stronger and who is weak, the gentleman in the sword and the high roller in the sword? And for what reason did they compete? Hong Jin, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, asked Li Deming beside him.
"It's hard to say, one of them is a master of the sword and the other is a master of the sword, although they have walked around the rivers and lakes before and have a record, but after all, the people who work with them are all new generation of talents, and I really can't figure out their real strength, as for the reason for their competition, many people say that they want to decide the leaders of the new generation to see who is the first, but so far these are just speculations of friends in the rivers and lakes." Li Deming said.
"The competition between the two juniors has attracted so many people to watch, in the final analysis, the rivers and lakes are too calm, since a generation of myths and unknown challenges to the world's masters to retreat, there are few major events on the rivers and lakes." Hong Jin said.
"The rivers and lakes with passion are the real rivers and lakes, if the rivers and lakes become like a pool of stagnant water, then what kind of fun is there in the rivers and lakes, the reason why the rivers and lakes are attractive is that they change for no reason." Li Deming said.
"That's right, change is the real magic of the rivers and lakes, the impermanence is not clear to people, and the more attractive it is, I really hope that the rivers and lakes will not be so quiet in the future." Hong Jin said.
"Lord Liu Zhuang is out." At this time, a swordsman shouted.
This is a very rich person, and his fat body keeps shaking when he walks, but no one dares to underestimate this seemingly harmless Liu Yuanwai, because this seemingly harmless Yuanwai once single-handedly killed a bandit from a cottage.
"The old man is late, so I have made you wait for a long time." Liu Wansan hugged his fists and said apologetically to the Jianghu characters present.
"Lord Liuzhuang is polite."
"Master Liu, tell us why Xu Jian and Mo Ziqi are competing in martial arts?" ……
All the characters in the rivers and lakes either politely hugged their fists in return or asked about the reason for the competition, in short, after this willow member came out, the whole scene became lively.
"Everyone, I know that everyone wants to know the real reason for the competition, to be honest, I want to know the same as everyone, but Xu Mo and the others didn't tell me before, it's not that I, Liu, want to deceive everyone, but that's the way it is, now what we can do is to wait for the two of them to come, and then you can ask them directly." Liu Wansan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"What, you don't know the owner of Liuzhuang, the reason why they competed didn't even tell you, a notary." I didn't expect Xu Mo and the others to guard the reason for the martial arts so strictly.
"Everyone, it's almost time to calculate, I think Xu Jian and Mo Ziqi should be almost there, so let's wait patiently." After Liu Wansan finished speaking, he sat down on a chair and stopped talking.
"Wait." Seeing Liu Wansan like this, it is not easy for friends in the rivers and lakes to say anything, since the time for the competition is almost up, then wait a little longer, anyway, I have waited for so long, so why wait.
"These Jianghu characters seem to be looking forward to it, if I mess up this competition, I don't know if they will jump in anger, but listening to the meaning of their words, it seems that the two people who competed in martial arts have never said the real reason for their competition, so it is likely that there is a lot of article, either deliberately selling or hiding secrets, it seems that I am going to appear later, and I will do it after they tell the reason for the competition."
Arrogantly lying on the roof of Liujiazhuang, wearing a silver mask on his face, he has been here for a while, after listening to Liu Wansan's words, he knew that this time he came to the right place, and he made up his mind that he must change the object of the competition, and he wanted to make a move.
During the conversation, half a tea time passed, and there was a violent sound of breaking the air outside Liujiazhuang, which should be the person who competed in martial arts.
"The wind is very strong, and the cultivation of the people who come here is not weak, it seems that this time there is something to play." Hearing the sound of breaking the air getting closer and closer, a smile appeared on his proud face.
"Haha, let everyone wait for a long time, Mo Ziqi is here for everyone to make amends." Mo Ziqi laughed and flew to the ring, hugged his fists and said to everyone, it is worthy of the heroic appearance of the high roller.
"Mo Shaoxia is polite."
"Mr. Mo is polite."
When everyone was polite, Mo Ziqi glanced at the people who came to watch the battle and found that there were really a lot of them, even a few martial arts veterans, and suddenly felt a light on his face, and the smile on his face became more and more thick.
"Hasn't Xu Jian come yet?" Mo Ziqi asked.
"Who said I didn't come, Mo Ziqi, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Suddenly, a figure swept out of the roof on the left side of Ao Jue, it was Xu Jian, the position he had stayed in before was just blocked by a roof, so Ao Jue didn't notice him.
"Since the two people in the competition have arrived, then Xu Shaoxia and Mo Shaoxia will tell the purpose of the competition, and everyone can give you a witness." Liu Wansan stood up at the right time and said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason for today's competition between the two of us is because the two of us made a bet, the bet is on who is stronger and who is weak in the martial arts of the two of us, and the winning party will have the right to support the other party for half a year, and no matter what the other party asks him to do within half a year, the loser will not shirk." Xu Jian said.
"That's right, please give us a witness." Mo Ziqi said.
Hum, a discussion broke out outside the field, all of them didn't expect that the reason for the competition between the two was because they made a bet, by the way, just a bet, did you use such fanfare to make a competition, it can be said that the crowd is excited, but Xu Jian and Mo Ziqi are not ordinary people, so although everyone is angry, they will not say it, so it is just boring to pass the time, and the kung fu of these two is good, and the competition is not bad.
However, Xu Jian and Mo Ziqi's words are not believed by everyone, and the result of such a big battle has made Qun Qun unhappy, and it is really unbelievable to say that there is no other reason.
"Well, these two are too capable of doing it, and they can say it because they can say it because they can give such a bad excuse for such a big formation, but since you have finished speaking, it is my turn to play." Ao Jue was shocked at first, and said slowly.
"The time for the tournament has come, and now the tournament begins." Liu Wansan shouted and jumped out of the ring.
"Wait." Suddenly, a man flew out of the crowd and shouted, dressed in black and masked, obviously here to make trouble.
Proud was depressed, because just as he was about to play, he noticed that someone had already taken the lead, and he immediately realized that someone was robbing him of his job.
