"Smack."

"Smack."

"Smack."

In the silence of the feast, only the sound of two wooden sticks could be heard.

Everyone present subconsciously held their breath and watched the discussion between Xu Wu and Xue Ao with solemn expressions.

Zhao Yu originally thought that after Xu Wu did his best, he would be able to bring Xue Ao a little pressure, but he didn't expect it......

"Smack."

Xue Ao once again used his stick head to resist Xu Wu's downward slashing stick, and forcibly interrupted the latter's attack, so that Xu Wu had to retreat.

"It's so accurate......

Zhao Yu thought secretly with a solemn face.

He said accurately, referring to Xue Ao's eyesight and the precision of his moves.

When the opponent's attack has not fallen, he will preemptively use the end of the short stick to resist it and interrupt it, which requires strong eyesight and matching skill coordination, after all, the contact point at the end of the wooden stick is so large, if you fail to accurately withstand the opponent's swing of the blow, it will not only be ugly, but also will put yourself in the dilemma of being hit.

But that Xue Ao showed the calmness as if he could do this with his eyes closed, interrupting Xu Wu's offensive again and again, his eyesight and intuition were beyond ordinary people.

"Whew...... Whew......"

After repeated attacks, Xu Wu was so tired that he was panting like a cow, and his eyes were not as calm as before.

Is the gap so big?

Xu Wu couldn't believe it.

Before, because he felt that he was being underestimated, he had already exerted at least ninety percent of his strength, including strength, however, the repeated strong attacks had never been able to pose an effective threat to that General Xue, and the other party was always clear, or stabbed or provoked, so he used his skillful strength to defuse his offensive.

If it weren't for the fact that General Xue never attacked, he would have been defeated.

“…… I lost. ”

After taking a deep breath, Xu Wu lowered his head to General Xue on the other side.

Despite all the reluctance in his heart, he had realized that, as his boss Li Duwei had said, it was almost impossible for him to hurt that General Xue.

Probably noticing Xu Wu's loss, Xue Ao smiled and approved: "It's a good exchange." …… Although you are not as good as me, you are also a rare fierce general, much more powerful than Wei Bi. Don't be discouraged, lose in the hands of my Xue Ao, but there is nothing to be ashamed of. ”

"That's ...... too."

Xu Wu's face suddenly looked a lot better, after all, the one in front of him was one of the five tigers of the Chen Gate, and he was also the one who boasted the most force.

"Thank you, General Xue, for your advice."

Hugging his fist towards Xue Ao, Xu Wu put the wooden stick in his hand back into the barrel and returned to his seat.

At this time, Xue Ao set his eyes on the generals under Zhao Yu's command, and his eyes swept over Wang Qing, Niu Heng, Cao Wu, Qin Yu, Jia Shu, Le Gui, Liu Tu and others one by one - except for Zhang Ji, who was worried that Tong Yan would recognize him and did not go to the banquet, the generals brought by Zhao Yu this time were all looked at by Xue Ao.

"Wait, are you interested in having a fight with me?" Xue Ao said with a smile: "There are not many opportunities to challenge the 'Five Tigers'. ”

Cao Wu, Qin Yu, Jia Shu, Le Gui, and Liu Tu glanced at each other.

To be honest, they did have the heart to fight with this Five Tigers of the Chen Sect, but considering that Fang Cai's defeat was so 'miserable', the generals inevitably muttered a little.

They could see clearly that Xu Wu under Li Meng was actually quite good, but in front of Xue Ao, he was like a child, and there was no shame in losing to the Five Tigers of Chenmen, but if he was like that Xu Wu, he didn't pose an effective threat to Xue Ao even once, which would inevitably hit his confidence a little.

Just when everyone was hesitating, they suddenly saw Wang Qing stand up and said with a rare serious look: "If General Xue doesn't mind, I want to try the gap with the Five Tigers again!" ”

"Oh?" Xue Ao looked at Wang Qing with interest, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked with a smile: "Have you fought with my family's third elder Zhang Jing?" ”

"Yes."

Wang Qing slowly walked to the wooden barrel in the field, stretched out his hands and pulled out two short sticks from it, turned his head and said to Xue Ao: "If General Xue doesn't mind, if you don't mind......

Xue Ao laughed and made a 'please' gesture, and then asked with interest: "How many moves can you make in the hands of the third child?" ”

Hearing this, many people in the room showed surprised looks, of course they knew that the third child Xue Ao was talking about was Zhang Jing, the general stationed in Jinan.

Even Wei Bi and other generals under Xue Ao looked at Wang Qing in surprise.

Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Qing said casually: "It's been a long time, I can't remember." ”

"Oh?"

A few hints of discoloration flashed in Xue Ao's eyes, and he immediately said with a smile: "It's just that I've said a lot of tricks, ha, it seems that Xue Mou should be careful." ”

Wang Qing didn't pick up either, and after choosing the wooden stick in his hand, he hugged Xue Ao with a fist: "Please advise." ”

"Please." Xue Ao nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Wang Qing's expression changed suddenly, and then the whole person rushed forward, and the wooden stick in his left hand stabbed straight at Xue Ao with a whoosh.

"Smack."

Xue Ao waved his hand and picked away the blow in Wang Qing's left hand.

And at this moment, the wooden stick in Wang Qing's right hand swung towards Xue Ao's waist.

However, only to hear another snap, Xue Ao returned to the defense in time and bounced Wang Qing's blow away.

『…… The stick is too light.'"

Seeing that Xue Ao easily blocked the trick he was good at, Wang Qing secretly frowned.

In his opinion, if it was changed to a normal weapon, this Xue Ao would never have returned to defense so quickly.

"Smack!"

"Smack! Syllable! "Listen to the bag

"Smack! Smack! ”

For a while, there was a crackling sound in the hall, and everyone was surprised to see that Wang Qing was holding two wooden sticks, attacking up and down, and the attack was extremely fierce, but what shocked everyone was that in the face of Wang Qing's two wooden sticks, Xue Ao did not panic at all, and with a single wooden stick, he blocked them all in an orderly manner.

During this period, Wang Qing also made a feint to try to make Xue Ao misjudge, but he failed to deceive Xue Ao once, the latter seemed to be full of eyes, clearly saw every move of Wang Qing, and even calculated the order of the front and back clearly, which can resist the ferocious attack of two wooden sticks with one wooden stick, and even a little more beautiful.

『…… Is it in your strength?'

Zhao Yu, who was watching from the sidelines, secretly guessed.

Don't look at Zhao Yu's martial arts, he is not outstanding, but he still has eyesight.

In his opinion, Wang Qing is obviously suffering in strength, although the speed of the attack is very fast, but Xue Ao can always use a decisive and powerful blow to pick up Wang Qing's offensive or unload, if Wang Qing can have the strength of the bull, I believe that Xue Ao will never be so easy to block.

After dozens of breaths, Wang Qing finally failed to pose any effective threat to Xue Ao, but he gradually lost his breath.

Suddenly, he took two steps back, and after a moment of silence, he clenched his fists and said, "I lost." ”

"Is this a towel?"

Xue Ao said with a smile: "Obviously you still have the strength, don't you?" If you try again, you might be able to do wonders. ”

Hearing this, Wang Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "I have already understood the gap. …… Thank you, General Xue, for your advice. ”

“……”

Xue Ao looked Wang Qing up and down a few times with interest, nodded and praised: "Your strength is really a good player, no wonder you can fight with the third child of my family." ”

After that, he watched Wang Qing walk back to his seat, and immediately, he turned his eyes to Niu Heng, who was sitting next to Zhao Yu, and said with a smile: "That reckless man, are you interested in having a fight with Xue?" ”

Niu Heng's most interesting thing on weekdays is nothing more than eating delicious food, drinking good wine, and fighting against powerful people, and when he encounters a strong person like Xue Ao today, he can't hold it anymore.

"Done?" Niu Heng asked Zhao Yu in a low voice.

In front of everyone's eyes, Zhao Yu couldn't refute Xue Ao's interest, so he had to nod his head, and then advised: "Don't get hurt, stop at the point." ”

"I remember." Niu Heng nodded and said, "I won't hurt him." ”

Zhao Yu was almost speechless, and he hurt the other party? He was afraid that Niu Heng would be injured.

I didn't see that Xue Ao was like playing with a child, so Xu Wu and Wang Qing retreated?

Xue Ao in the field also heard Niu Heng's words, but he was not angry, but said with a smile: "That reckless man, it is not easy to hurt Xue." ”

At this time, Niu Heng had already pulled out a half-zhang long stick from the barrel, frowned and weighed it in his hand a few times, after hearing Xue Ao's words, he pointed at himself with his thumb, and introduced rudely: "My name is Niu Heng, Niu General Niu Heng." ”

『……』

Zhao Yu licked his lips in embarrassment.

However, Xue Ao didn't take Niu Heng's rude gesture as a pestle at all, laughed when he heard the words, and said: "Haha, good name, I think you are as strong as a brute bull, come, Niu Heng, let's have a good fight first, and then drink happily!" ”

"Okay."

Niu Heng was full of interest when he heard this, and immediately, seeing that Xue Ao had already put on a posture, he stepped forward and waved the long stick in his hand towards Xue Ao.

Obviously, it was just a one-handed wave, but it was faintly accompanied by the sound of breaking the air, which showed the fierceness of the force.

Xue Ao was stunned for a moment, and then repeated his old trick, and once again accurately resisted Niu Heng's stick with one end of the short stick.

However, unlike the previous fights with Xu Wu and Wang Qingshi, this time Xue Ao couldn't hold the short stick.

With a bang, the hand that was holding the end of the stick suddenly slipped into the middle of the stick.

His face changed suddenly, and he immediately subconsciously clenched the stick.

“……”

Wei Xuan, who was originally watching the battle with an indifferent expression, suddenly became solemn.

In the next breath, only to hear a click, the long stick in Niu Heng's hand broke in response.

"Ahh

Looking at the stick that had broken in two, the ox turned sideways and drew another long stick from the barrel.

“……”

Xue Ao spread out his right hand, looked at his palm that had been accidentally grinded into pain, and then looked at Niu Heng in surprise.

Around midnight in the evening, Zhao Yu and Li Meng took the well-fed generals out of the city and returned to the camp, while Xue Ao and his generals led by Wei Yan were warmly stayed by Tong Yan.

After the servants in Tong Yan's mansion cleaned up the guest room and retreated, Wei Bi asked Xue Ao, who was sitting at the table with a drunken face: "How?" ”

Hearing this, the drunkenness on Xue Ao's face immediately changed a little, and he chuckled: "Not bad." …… Xu Wu under Li Meng is good, and Wang Qing under Zhou Hu is even better......"

"What about the reckless man named Niu Heng?" Wei Bi deliberately asked: "I'm afraid this person's arm strength is still above the general, right?" ”

"You ...... guy"

Xue Ao glanced at Wei Bi angrily, and then said with a look of regret: "Although neither of them did their best, this person's arm strength may be above." It's a pity that he only has brute strength, he doesn't know skills, and he is old, if he could have been taught by the old man when he was young, he can now compete with me, but it's a pity, it's a pity......"

Wei Bi smiled slightly, and immediately, he seemed to think of something, and asked again: "What does the general think of that Zhou Hu?" I heard that he was a bandit, but I couldn't tell it at all. ”

"This guy is really interesting......"

Scratching the beard on his chin, Xue Ao chuckled and said, "As long as he's not a fool and drags me down to defeat the rebels, what's the matter." ”

After that, he restrained the smile on his face, raised his right hand and clenched his fist violently, and said in a deep voice: "There is no need for the old man to go out in person, with these 100,000 troops gathered in Liang County, Lao Tzu is enough to fight all the thieves...... Defeat them all! ”

"The general is just too conceited, and the master is not at ease......"

From the side, Wei Xuan said quietly.

After all, there was a faint smile on his face, as if he was ......

He is also a firm believer in this.
