Chapter 80: Prelude to the Tournament

There is also the third brother Liu Xiu, who was originally a centrist, but today it seems that sooner or later he will become Liu Cong's faction. And the little sister Liu Wen is only good with the second brother, and usually ignores the two brothers.

The more Liu Qi thought about it, the more he broke out in a cold sweat, this Liu Cong is really hateful, if he doesn't come early, if he doesn't come late, he just took over this matter, he came out, sincerely, right?

The four brothers of the Ma family couldn't care about Liu Qi's emotions at the moment, and after a thousand words, they thanked Liu Cong and turned around to pick up the fifth brother. Liu Qi saw that things were out of control, glared at Liu Cong in annoyance, and left in a hurry.

Liu Cong shook his head helplessly, turned around and entered the living room, Liu Biao was waiting for him to report.

Speaking of reports, in fact, in his usual letters, Liu Cong has already introduced what he did in Jiangling. At least so far, it seems that Liu Cong's reputation in Nanjun is good.

Liu Biao was connected to the concerts of Han Xuan, Lingling, Liu Du and Wuling, and what made Liu Biao strange was that the three of them praised Liu Cong without exception.

Liu Biao specifically picked this matter to ask Liu Cong, and Liu Cong had no choice but to say that he had the intention to recruit talents and had no intention of inserting willows. Liu Cong said it reasonably, and Liu Biao did not doubt it. However, I felt that Liu Cong did not disappoint him, and at a young age, he not only succeeded in suppressing the generals of Nanjun, but also received the recommendation of several elders from his colleagues in the state.

After reporting to work, father and son again; After chatting about some family life, Liu Biao naturally asked about Liu Cong's horse grabbing. Liu Cong didn't hide it, he drove Liu Bei's thirty war horses back to Jiangling, and it would be strange if Liu Bei didn't sue. However, Liu Cong also felt that he had a clear conscience and was not afraid to confront Liu Bei. Of course, Liu Biao didn't mean to pursue it, but just reminded Liu Cong to beware of Liu Bei.

Speaking of Liu Bei, Liu Cong remembered the martial arts competition, so he suggested to Liu Biao to cancel the martial arts competition and only hold a poetry competition. Liu Biao smiled and vetoed. Thinking about it, Liu Biao has such a good reputation, it is impossible to go back on his word.

It's just that Liu Cong couldn't understand why Liu showed that he knew that several of Liu Biao's subordinates were so skilled that they still wanted Liu Bei to be in the limelight.

Liu Cong categorically did not believe that Liu Biao would be confident that Cai Mao or his subordinates could easily defeat Liu Bei. Since you can't hide, let's fight with all your might, anyway, those people under Liu Bei became famous first, and as long as they don't lose too badly, no one should laugh at them.

Liu Cong has no bottom in his heart, but Gan Ning and others are full of confidence! It's no wonder that everyone is young and vigorous, and they haven't really tried who is afraid of whom. Especially when Liu Cong received the horse team and entangled with Zhang Fei for so long that day, Huang Zhong went back to tell Gan Ning and Wei Yan, and the two suddenly felt that this martial arts competition had to win the championship.

It's also a good thing to have self-confidence, but Liu Cong is still very low-key, first, he is not sure, and secondly, he wants these generals to hold their breath and compete smoothly.

The martial arts tournament under the Zhennan General's Mansion was held as scheduled.

On August 14th, the school field in Xiangyang City was crowded with people! All eight teams participated in the competition. The officials of Xiangyang City were all present to watch, and many wealthy families in the city were also invited.

Looking at Liu Cong with a sad face, Han Yi said hello to his father and ran over to comfort Liu Cong.

"Yo, why is the second son, who has always been conceited, sad today?"

"It's not because there is no chance of winning the competition......"

"No, the second son's subordinates are like clouds, how can they be so unconfident?" In the distance, Kuai Jian looked at Liu Cong with a cheap smile, as if Liu Cong had failed.

"Boy, can you speak?" Liu Cong is not confident, it does not mean that Gan Ning is willing to admit defeat, and he can't help it when he sees Kuai Jian's craze.

"It doesn't matter if I can speak or not, it's just that some people will be beaten to the ground...... "Kuai Jian had already heard Liu Qi talk about the power of those under Liu Bei. There is an opportunity to ridicule Liu Cong, and Kuai Jian will naturally not let it go.

"You!"

"Xingba, his mouth grows on him, if you want others not to gossip, you will be able to speak with real kung fu on the test field."

"Yes!" Kuai Jian is more than ten years younger than Gan Ning, and Liu Cong is obstructive again, so Gan Ning is naturally not good at dealing with Kuai Jian.

As soon as Kuai Jian left, Pang Tong followed Liu Qi into the field, and when he saw Liu Cong and Zhuge Liang from a distance, he felt very uncomfortable. It's just that because of the past situation, I had to come over and say hello: "The second son's subordinates are like clouds, presumably today's * martial arts competition must be captured!" ”

Readers are different, no matter what their preferences are, they still have to get by on the scene, but Pang Tong's words, how does this Liu Cong sound like a killing!

"Mr. has an overreputation, although these people know a little about martial arts, but I can produce many people in Jingzhou, so Mr. should not laugh at me."

"Hehe, Childe doesn't have to be too humble, as Childe said, Jingzhou can produce many people, so in the martial arts competition, if other teams are lucky enough to win Childe, it is normal."

"That's, that's!" Of course, Liu Cong knew which team Pang Tong was talking about. Not only Liu Cong knew, but Gan Ning and others also knew, and even Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan and others knew who Pang Tong was talking about.

The implication is that Liu Bei is here, Liu Cong has no play, die as soon as possible, these words look at Sven is actually more annoying, and you can't find fault with it. Liu Cong swept back, signaling the generals to hold back their anger, we can lose the game, we can't lose, right?

Finally, Pang Tong left, and another big black man came, this person Liu Cong recognized, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong also recognized it. It was Zhang Fei, who was masked and pretended to be a horse thief a month ago to rob the *robbery.

Today's Zhang Fei didn't mask his face, and he didn't say hello when he walked up to Liu Cong, and snorted in his mouth: "Boy, don't let grandpa meet you today." When I meet a fart and pee flow that has to hit you. ”

Whether it was instructed by Liu Bei or not, Zhang Fei was so rude, and Liu Cong couldn't lose his identity, so he could only pretend not to know Zhang Fei and pretend not to hear him. Gan Ning and Wei Yan, who were standing behind Liu Cong, really didn't know Zhang Fei.

Seeing that Liu Cong didn't say a word, Wei Yan was still a nobody, so he shouted loudly, "Big black man, who are you, so arrogant." ”

"Haha, boy, you don't know your third grandfather? When I meet us in the competition, my second brother and Zilong and I will win as long as you can win one, hahahaha......" After speaking, he dragged out a long voice.

"Second son, who is this person?"

"Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide!" Liu Pan saw that Liu Cong didn't speak, so he explained for Wei Yan.

"Oh......" Wei Yan seemed to have an epiphany, he had been a soldier in Xiangyang, and he had never seen Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, and their prestige was still heard, no wonder the second son was not famous.

In fact, Liu Cong will not be completely stupid, he is also thinking about Zhang Fei's words repeatedly, and his own tactics are also formulated in this way. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, . Zhao Yun, as long as one of the three wins, then Liu Pan and Wei Yan have a chance of winning against Liu Bei's team, whether it is Zhou Cang or Guan Ping or Liu Bei himself, then he can still win 3-2.

One after another, people came over to greet Liu Cong, and some people just politely did not discuss the game with Liu Cong. Almost all of those who were willing to discuss the game with Liu Cong thought that Liu Bei's team would win, and they all wished Liu Cong not to run into Liu Bei too early.

Hearing this, Gan Ning and Wei Yan were on fire in their eyes, and they couldn't wait for the game to start immediately.

Kuai Yue and the others didn't deal with Liu Cong, but they didn't come to laugh at Liu Cong, but just stood in the distance and posed as a joke.

Finally, after all the participating teams entered, Liu Cong walked next to Cai Mao.

"Cong'er, do you have confidence in today's game?"

"Cong knows that his opponent is strong, so please ask Master Yuezhang to do Cong a favor later?"

"Oh? Don't say that I asked you to let you, since ancient times, there is no first, there is no second, and the generals on the test field also have the glory and dignity of the generals. ”

"Father-in-law, that's not what Cong meant. What Cong wants to say is that if the father-in-law draws against Liu Bei, can he change it with the child? ”

"Why, you're so self-defeating?"

Cai Mao never expected that Liu Cong would take the initiative to choose Liu Bei's team. Because according to the rules of the competition, the eight participating teams are selected to fight in pairs. That is, the number is from one to four, each number is two, and the same number is drawn to catch and fight, and the winner is one to two, three to four; Then the winner competes for the final championship.

This kind of competition is more accidental than the retest round-robin, but this kind of chance is only between those teams with similar strength, and no one in today's competition will think that Liu Bei's team will be defeated by chance.

Liu Cong was anxious to face Liu Bei's team, but Cai Mao really couldn't figure it out.
