The Sogdians traveled all the year round on the business journey, most of them in groups, and many of them were pooled goods, that is, several people bought a share of goods, which was easy to have contradictions in the final distribution of interests, and both sides had their own reasons, and it was difficult to say who was right and who was wrong.

In order to resolve this conflict, the Sogdians resorted to the mediation of elders, but if even the mediation of elders failed, then a solution by force was inevitable.

Also to avoid unnecessary casualties, the Sogdians came up with a way in which each side could hire warriors to compete in martial arts, and the winner would decide the distribution of benefits.

Then even if the festival between the two sides is revealed, it is not allowed to continue to entangle.

This method of resolving contradictions by force has been going on for hundreds of years and has long been the norm for the Sogdians to resolve contradictions.

Li Ande thought of this method, let his nephew create a conflict out of nothing, and then force Guo Song to use the rules of the Sogdians to solve it, in order to obtain Guo Song's wooden sword.

If one side adds to the bet, then the other side needs to follow suit.

Li Ande raised the iron horizontal knife high, and said loudly to the crowd watching the excitement: "Everyone, this young man has always wanted to buy my horizontal knife, then I will use this horizontal knife as a bet for the competition, and I hope that this young man will also take out a bet of the same value." ”

Li Ande glanced at Guo Song, stared eagerly at the wooden sword behind him, and said unceremoniously: "I think that except for this young man's iron-wood sword, no other items are worthy of my iron-iron horizontal sword." ”

Duan Sanniang also appeared in the corner of the crowd, and she said coldly: "You just said that you would exchange the iron horizontal knife with three hundred taels of silver for his iron and wood sword, can you change what you said at any time?" ”

Li Ande showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and said with a smile: "Of course I won't cheat, so be it!" If this young man wins against my samurai, he will receive another three hundred taels of silver in addition to this iron sword, or you may take any weapon in my armory. ”

Guo Song stepped forward and smiled faintly: "Then it will be as you wish!" ”

He raised the ironwood sword in the air, "If you win me, this ironwood sword will be yours." ”

The people around him whispered, and they also felt that something was wrong, if this young man lost, shouldn't he apologize and compensate for the vase? How did it become that the two of them were competing for a wooden sword.

Doubts are doubts, but as long as the two parties have no opinions, they will not be troubled.

Li Ande smiled and narrowed his eyes, turned around and shouted, "Kang Bao come out for me!" ”

I saw a very sturdy Sogdian man walking out from the back of the shop, who was the blacksmith man he had just met in the blacksmith shop.

He put on a hexagram, and there was no expression on his ugly face covered with scars.

Li Ande laughed and said, "The moment you have been waiting for for a long time has finally come. ”

He turned his head and pointed at Guo Song, and said viciously: "As long as you win him in today's competition, I will give you freedom!" ”

Kang Bao's eyes slowly lit up, his gaze locked on Guo Song, and his deep pupils were full of longing for freedom, like an extremely thirsty desert traveler discovering a clear spring.

"Let me do it!"

Liang Wu walked out and said to Guo Song: "This kind of competition is not necessarily my own action. ”

Guo Song didn't expect Li Ande to let the mysterious big man he met in the blacksmith shop, and for a while, he was full of curiosity, what is the origin of this big man?

When Guo Song saw that Liang Wu was about to play, he grabbed him, shook his head and said, "You are not this person's opponent, and even I may not win him." ”

Liang Wu was stunned, could this mute-like Sogdian slave be a master of martial arts?

Li Ande was afraid of a long night and many dreams, so he immediately announced loudly: "The two sides don't use weapons, even if they fall to the ground, they will lose, start!" ”

……….

Guo Song handed the wooden sword to Liang Wu, took off his outer robe, and inside was a half-worn blue tight-fitting samurai uniform, he stepped forward and saluted Kang Bao with his fists clenched.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Kang Bao's eyes, but he immediately became solemn again, he nodded to Guo Song, and put on a strange offensive stance, his legs were in a lunge, his fists were folded under his chin, his body was slightly sideways, and his eyes were sharply staring at each other.

This posture confuses many people, but Guo Song recognizes it, and this is clearly a boxing posture.

Guo Song's body flashed, and he came to him in the blink of an eye, Kang Bao reacted extremely quickly, and his fist immediately hit Guo Song like a storm, and more than 20 punches were thrown in this instant.

Guo Song dodged his frontal assault, his body was as fast as lightning, passed through the side, and an elbow hammer hit his left rib, Kang Bao snorted, took two steps back, and then kicked Guo Song in the back with three side kicks in a row, which was incredibly fast.

Guo Song had already pulled himself up, and with a light backflip, he jumped a foot behind the other party.

The first one ended in the rabbit and the falcon fell, the two sides were just tempting, but Kang Bao lost a move, if the two sides brought weapons, Kang Bao had fallen to the ground at this time.

Kang Bao's eyes became solemn, he knew that the elbow hammer just now let the other party let him go, otherwise he would have to break at least three ribs.

Kang Bao put away his heart of contempt for the enemy, and no longer used boxing to attack, squatted down and stepped forward, his palms crossed in front of his chest, and became a defensive position.

This is the Sogdian style of fighting, a combination of wrestling and free fighting, which is very practical on the battlefield, and this is the advantage of Kangbao, which is stable and powerful.

Guo Song felt a little remorseful in his heart, just now Kang Bao was a little lighter than the enemy, and used boxing skills to attack himself, and the lower plate was unstable, he had every chance to kick the opponent from behind, but he didn't do his best because it was a temptation.

Now the other party has suffered a loss and no longer gives himself a chance.

The thought of remorse was just a flash, Guo Song snorted lightly, jumped up, and jumped eight feet high, causing the people around him to exclaim.

His feet were as fast as rain, and he kicked the opponent's head and shoulders more than a dozen times in an instant, which was unpredictable, but the real kick was to the opponent's throat.

Kang Bao saw it very accurately, grabbed Guo Song's left foot, and threw it back, he had extremely rich combat experience, and saw that this was a trap for the other party, if he grabbed the other party's leg and didn't let go, the other party would press down from a high place, lock his neck and press him directly to the ground.

can only shake off the opponent as quickly as possible, making the opponent stand unstable and fall to the ground, Guo Song only felt a sharp pain in his ankle, and the opponent's iron tong-like hand almost pinched his bones, and the pain made him almost faint.

But Kang Bao still underestimated Guo Song's trap, he shook off Guo Song's left leg, but Guo Song's right leg hooked his shoulder, slammed backwards, a huge force made Kang Bao stand unsteadily, four or five steps back in a row, he tried to support the ground with his hands, but his body had lost his balance, and finally sat on the ground.

Guo Song landed lightly two steps away, and his body landed steadily.

Liang Wu cheered and jumped up excitedly, Li Ande's face was pale, he didn't expect Kang Bao, who was known as the number one fierce general in the river, to be knocked down by the other party in two faces, and he lost cleanly.

But Guo Song knew in his heart that Kang Bao could actually break his leg bones directly just now, but he didn't make a ruthless move, he was responding to his elbow hammer's mercy.

He clasped his fist and saluted the other party, "Accept!" ”

Kang Bao's eyes were gloomy, his most promising opportunity to be free was missed in vain, he didn't say a word, and silently got up and stood aside.

Duan Sanniang saw Li Ande's eyes rolling, so she snorted coldly and said, "Li Ande, are you trying to cheat!" ”

Li Ande laughed dryly, "Miss Duan said that she laughed, how could the Sogdians be fooled by a thousand promises?" ”

He threw the iron horizontal knife in his hand to Guo Song, "This knife belongs to you!" ”

Guo Song caught the horizontal knife with his left hand, held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and pulled the scabbard two inches apart, only to feel a chill coming to his face, "Good knife!" He blurted out.

As soon as the knife was closed, Guo Song raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "In addition to this knife, I should have a winner!" ”

Li Ande said stupidly: "Anshan, give him three hundred taels of silver!" ”

"I don't want money."

Guo Song pointed at Kang Bao, "I want you to give him freedom!" ”

There was a sudden silence around, everyone froze, and An Shan, who was next to him, suddenly jumped to his feet and shouted: "No! We bought it for a thousand gold dinars, which was far more than three hundred taels of silver. ”

"But he's also your fighting weapon, isn't he?"

Guo Song's gaze pressed at Li Ande, "You said, I can take a weapon from your shop!" ”

Li Ande held his hands, looked at the sun in the sky and said, "O god Ahuramadaz! Kang Bao is my most loyal brother, not my goods, forgive these Han people for their rudeness! ”

Li Ande's eyelids rolled, revealing a sly smile, "If you really want to give him freedom, it's not impossible, take your ironwood sword in exchange, other than that, there are no other conditions." ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Guo Song, people are never goods, even slaves are not counted, this is the consensus of the Sogdians, Li Ande does have a reason, Guo Song wants to be free, then he can only exchange it with an iron and wood sword, but is he willing?

Even Duan Sanniang looked at Guo Song with interest, how did he choose?

Guo Song was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand to Liang Wu, "Give me the ironwood sword!" ”

Liang Wu suddenly became anxious, and shouted loudly: "This is a relic left to you by your master, you can't hand it over!" ”

Kang Bao suddenly turned his head, his eyes red.

Duan Sanniang was also stunned, this ironwood sword turned out to be a relic of his master? Only then did she understand why Guo Song refused to change.

"Guo Gongzi, I was rude just now!" Duan Sanniang finally opened her mouth to admit her mistake.

Guo Song didn't respond to her, he smiled faintly and said: "It's just a wooden sword, it's far less important than a person's freedom, give it to me!" ”

Liang Wu was helpless and handed over the wooden sword to him, Guo Song stepped forward and handed the wooden sword to Li Ande, "Exchange!" ”

Li Ande held the ironwood sword tightly in his arms, staring at a line of Persian writing on the hilt, and the greed in his eyes was revealed.

"What are you going to do?" Guo Song asked sharply.

Li Ande took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Guo Song, "This is Kang Bao's slave contract, with his faith as a guarantee, if the master tears it off, Kang Bao will be free!" ”

Guo Song took the slave deed, tore it to pieces, and said to Kang Bao: "You go!" Go back to your hometown. ”

Kang Bao burst into tears, and the tall and strong man slowly knelt down, kowtowed three times to Guo Song, turned around and strode away.

Li Ande didn't expect Guo Song to really let Kang Bao go, he shook his head and said in a low voice: "You discarded a peerless treasure, do you know who he is?" His real name is Ash. Durhan, the deputy commander of the 100,000-strong Sogdian coalition army, was defeated by the Great Food Army five years ago, became a prisoner of war, and after several tosses, he was later bought by me in the Damascus slave market, and in Kangguo, you can exchange him for 10,000 taels of silver. ”

Guo Song glanced at him coldly, "I only know that you still owe me three hundred taels of silver, or I can also ask for your silver, you tell me the origin of the ironwood sword." ”

Li Ande's eyes lit up, he could save three hundred taels of silver, of course he couldn't ask for it.

Guo Song turned around and left, everyone was sorry, but Liang Wu knew very well that the matter was not over.
