At the beginning of the lanterns, the banks of the Ruoshui River in Xicheng were already lively. As Bai Qi said, Qian Buzhi created enough gimmicks for the duel between Jiang Xiaobai and Liu Lingba today. At a glance, the pavilion is full of spectators, and the three-story Accord is also sitting in the room.

The pavilion was unprecedentedly lively, and before the game began, the nobles in the stands were already full of anticipation and chattering. Qian Buxiu stood in front of the flower window of the Accord, took in the noise of the pavilion, showed a satisfied smile on his face, turned around and smiled: "Zhao Gongzi, listening to the noise of the stands, it seems that many people are optimistic about the leopard's head."

"Heh, people always like the new and hate the old," Zhao Gongzi took a sip of the wine in the cup and said with a smile, "But I don't know that the leopard's head has been poisoned by the unloading of gongsan, as long as it is lucky, it will lose its internal strength in a short time." After that, he drank all the wine in the cup, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed it to the next person behind him, and said, "When you will bet, you go and take the lead, bet on five thousand taels of leopard heads to win, remember to shout loudly." ”

"Yes!" The servant took the silver ticket and left.

After a while, Qian Lao Er had already walked out of the passage on the first floor, still arching his hand to the distinguished guests upstairs, and then signaling the noisy stands to be quieter, before laughing loudly: "Thank you for coming, I think everyone already knows, today is the highlight, the leopard's head is mixed with the dragon!" On one side is the upstart who has been the most aggressive lately, and on the other side is the veteran overlord who has never lost a single game! The old and the new collide, and this will be the most fierce showdown since the opening of the fighting arena! Bet first, and the game begins! ”

An impassioned speech brought the pre-game atmosphere to the top. But while the nobles were excited, they hesitated in their hearts. The leopard head and the mixed river dragon are not bad, who should bet on? Just when everyone hesitated, someone shouted: "Five thousand taels, leopard head!" ”

This shout broke the hesitation in everyone's hearts like a heart booster, and then someone shouted after him:

"I'll also bet two thousand taels, leopard head!"

"Three thousand taels, leopard head!"

"Two thousand taels, leopard head!"

...

With one person taking the lead, everyone no longer hesitated to bet on it, most of them were the leopard head Jiang Xiaobai who bet on the crowd, and only a few people chose the old overlord to mix Jiang Longliu to bully.

Seeing this, Qian Buxiu puffed up his hands and squinted his eyes with a smile and said: "Zhao Gongzi is worthy of being the best at doing business in the four young people in the capital, this hand is really wonderful!" ”

"My father often says that doing business requires one's duty, but if you want me to say, how can one's duty come so quickly" Zhao Gongzi laughed a few times and raised his hand and said, "Come!" Mr. Qian, this good show must be drunk and watched to be enjoyable! ”

After everyone had made bets, Qian Lao Er clapped his hands, and Jiang Xiaobai and Liu Lingba walked into the middle of the field from the passages on both sides of the field under the supervision of the yacha, and the entire pavilion suddenly resounded with cheers. Qian Lao Er smiled and announced loudly: "Everyone! The show is on."

The two stood in the middle of the field and looked at each other, about a few feet away. Jiang Xiaobai bowed slightly, with a faint smile. Liu Lingba was stunned, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and returned the salute.

After the salute, it is a hand-to-hand battle. Seeing Liu Lingba's preemptive strike, he shouted, and the whole person rose from the ground, rushed to Jiang Xiaobai with an arrow step, and beckoned straight to Jiang Xiaobai's left leg.

Liu Lingba's blow was so strong that Jiang Xiaobai didn't dare to be careless, and lifted his leg to block Liu Lingba's attack, and then attacked Liu Lingba's left shoulder with both fists.

The two of them touched each other with their fists and feet, and instantly set off a strong wind. After a battle, Jiang Xiaobai saw that Liu Lingba's attack was fierce and very fast, and he knew that Liu Lingba had more advantages than himself in terms of strength, so he immediately changed his playing style, no longer hitting hard, but relying on flexible body skills, borrowing strength to fight, and waiting for an opportunity to come out.

Liu Lingba's shot was fierce, Jiang Xiaobai's body was weird, the two of them fought back and forth for thirty or forty rounds, the speed of the shot became faster and faster, and the fist shadow was whirring and the legs were gusting, but it was quite equal, and no one showed any signs of defeat.

The spectators cheered one after another, but Zhao Gongzi in the Accord was shocked and looked downstairs in disbelief: "This, this... What's going on, that kid drank tea containing Gong San, how could there be nothing at all! ”

"Could it be that the effects of the drug haven't taken effect yet?" Qian Buxiu's face was also full of surprise at the moment.

"It can't be!" Hearing the sound of the cup breaking, Zhao Gongzi slammed the wine glass in his hand and said angrily.

Qian Buxiu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and comforted him again and again: "Zhao Gongzi, don't panic, Liu Lingba is aggressive, and he has the upper hand everywhere, I don't think that kid will last a few rounds." Although he pretended to be calm, his hands couldn't help shaking slightly while holding the wine glass, and he was also very anxious.

....

In another Accord on the third floor of the pavilion, one person applauded and smiled slightly: "Yes, yes, it's been a long time since I encountered such a wonderful duel."

This person is about fifty years old, the body is dignified, the appearance is dignified, wearing a dark blue ancient forged python robe, the collar and cuffs are inlaid with embroidered silver silk cloud pattern piping, the waist is tied with a cyan auspicious cloud wide edge brocade, hanging white jade exquisite waist wear, the whole person reveals an innate nobility, making people feel unattainable. Everyone in the stands is also considered a high-ranking nobleman, but compared with this person, they suddenly feel a lot inferior.

"I didn't expect the third prince to like this bloody pastime" It was a woman who spoke, but saw that this woman had an extremely beautiful face, delicate and sweet, and her appearance was better than spring flowers, although she was thirty years old, but she did not have the slightest sign of aging because of the passage of time, she was wearing a cloud-like splendid long dress, long hair shawl, like flowing clouds, revealing dignified and elegant between her every move, with a faint hint of dust in her eyebrows.

There were also two young girls in the Accord, standing behind the woman and the third prince respectively. A man dressed in white like snow, with beautiful eyes, is watching the duel downstairs intently at the moment, and his pretty face seems to be a little nervous; And a young girl dressed in black brocade, with an indifferent and indifferent face, as cold as the moon in the sky, making people feel no trace of anger.

"Although they are all prisoners, they might as well have good hands, just like the two in the field now..."The third prince stroked the green beard and smiled, "Master Ren, who will win this duel in the end?" ”

The owner of Ren Zhuang smiled faintly and said: "The mixed river dragon is fierce and fast, and the attack is sharp, and the leopard's head dodges everywhere, and it does not dare to collide with it head-on." Judging from the scene, it seems that the mixed river dragon is more dominant, but the concubine thinks that the leopard head will win in the end. ”

When the third prince heard this, he was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"Although the leopard's head dodged everywhere, it was not panicked and hidden, but with its flexible body, it was circling in the ferocious attack of the Mixed River Dragon, and when the Mixed River Dragon was a little tired, it would wait for an opportunity to come out and win with one blow." The owner of Ren Zhuang suddenly smiled and said, "The body of this leopard head is changeable, flexible and subtle, and the moves are extremely simple, and the shot is a killing move, I think his martial arts should be a master of the rivers and lakes."

Hearing the owner say this, the nervous face of the girl in white eased a lot in an instant, but a pair of beautiful eyes still kept looking at the momentum in the field, while the other girl in black still had a cold face, but a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

In the field on the first floor, Liu Lingba couldn't attack for a long time, and gradually became anxious. Seeing that he was strong in his arms, he was angry and angry, and suddenly shouted angrily, took a lunge forward, and formed a sky gate with both palms, and slammed into Jiang Xiaobai with the sound of wind and thunder.

When his palms hit, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly felt that a huge force was overwhelming, and he immediately sank, his body shook, combined with the two hexagrams, he took steps left and right, and flashed this thunderous blow.

One blow was empty, Liu Lingba's heart was shocked, he really didn't expect Jiang Xiaobai to be able to dodge his Chaotian Gate, and after a little distraction, he was hit his left shoulder by Jiang Xiaobai's ensuing heavy punch.

"Hmm..." Liu Lingba snorted, and then took a few steps back, and there was already an extra bruise on his left shoulder. He glanced at Jiang Xiaobai with some horror, and his face became more and more solemn. This kid's body is extremely weird, and he dodged his own killing moves one after another, if he continues to fight like this, he will definitely be defeated. But he must win today! If he loses, Zhao Gongzi will no longer provide medical expenses for his mother's treatment...

Thinking of this, Liu Lingba's eyes gradually showed ruthlessness, only to see that his body moved, and he actually snatched the sharp knife in the hand of the yacha on the side! One turned around sharply and slashed at Jiang Xiaobai with a knife.

Jiang Xiaobai was shocked and hurriedly dodged. But Liu Lingba's skills are not bad, his knife skills are even faster, and the knife wind is strong, and he was quickly forced into a corner.

Seeing that there was no place to dodge, Jiang Xiaobai was anxious in his heart, and when he was thinking about what to do, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a fence-type stake in the corner of the wall, and he kicked off one of them and held it in his hand. Immediately replaced the sword with wood, raised his waist in a virtual step, and drew a large arc from top to bottom on the wooden stake in his hand, and pointed a sword at Liu Lingba's heart.

Liu Lingba saw the wooden stake stabbing straight in, and instinctively swung his knife to meet it. And at this moment, he saw that the thin wooden stake in Jiang Xiaobai's hand was like a spirit snake, and the sword was graceful, and it suddenly slashed upwards and stabbed him in the neck when it trembled slightly!

"Broken Knife!" In the Accord, a subtle shock flashed on the face of the owner of Ren, and he exclaimed in his heart: "How can he make the ethereal sword technique?!" ”

At this time, the girl in white standing behind her suddenly whispered a few words in her ear, and then saw that the owner of Ren Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at the girl slightly strangely, and saw the girl in white nodded shyly, and her eyes were a little more puzzled, but she didn't ask more, but said to the third prince: "Third prince, the concubine wants to ask you for a favor." ”

The third prince was stunned, and said with a smile: "The owner of the village might as well say it directly"

The owner of Ren Zhuang glanced at the white-clothed girl behind him again, and then said: "If that leopard head is not guilty of a great evil, please ask the third prince to find a way to get him out of prison." ”

"Don't hide it from the owner of the village, I also have this intention" The third prince smiled loudly, stroked his beard and said, "The court is now short of manpower, this kid's skills are not bad, I will send someone to investigate later, if it is not a great evildoer, I will accept him to do things for the court." ”

"Humph! It's not like a big evildoer, it's just nosy," the girl in black, who had not spoken before, snorted coldly in a low voice.

The third prince listened to it, smiled, looked at the girl in black with interest and asked, "Jing Ke, you seem to know the leopard head in your tone?" ”

Jing Ke was stunned, knowing that he had lost his words, and hurriedly asked for sin: "Jing Ke said a lot, and asked the prince to blame" In his heart, he wondered why he couldn't hold back his voice.

The third prince waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you go on." ”

"I've met once before, and he helped me repel the people of Drinking Moon Tower, but I let the people of Drinking Moon Tower arrest him" Jing Ke hesitated for a moment, frowned, and said truthfully, "Although I don't know how he escaped from the thieves and why he fell into the prison of Yuejing Mansion, Jing Ke was quite shocked by the rapid progress of the exercises."

"Since I have assisted you in repelling the evil sect, then it must not be a big evildoer" The third prince smiled, looked at the owner of Ren Zhuang and said, "I will send someone to Yuejing Mansion tomorrow to protect him." ”

Looking at the middle of the field again, Jiang Xiaobai's smashing knife style can be said to be strangely changing, and between the lightning and flint, Liu Lingba couldn't react anymore, when he closed his eyes and waited for the stake to pierce his throat.

Just listening to the sound of "clang", Jiang Xiaobai waved lightly in his hand, but he picked off Liu Lingba's sharp knife, but stopped before the stake was about to stab Liu Lingba's throat.

Liu Lingba's eyes widened, and he looked at the stake in front of his throat with a look of shock, shocked and puzzled. After a while, the whole person sat down on the ground and muttered, "Zhao Gongzi obviously said that you took the Removal Gong San, but why..."

Jiang Xiaobai put away the wooden stake, raised his eyes and looked at the third floor of the pavilion, and really saw that in front of the door of the Accord, Zhao Gongzi, who was angry and ruined, still had money, he first sneered, and then made a grimace at the two.

"I deliberately drank it to Zhao Gongzi, what I wanted was for him to put his mind at ease, so that he would have the greatest loss." Jiang Xiaobai smiled coldly. He had already guessed that there was something wrong with the tea, because when he took the first sip, he felt that the tea tasted wrong, which reminded him in vain of a movie he had seen in his previous life, where the grandmaster Huo Yuanjia was poisoned by drinking Japanese tea before the finals. Although he was not completely sure that the tea was poisonous, he kept an eye on it, only took the tea in his mouth, and quietly spit it in the backyard after going out.

The leopard's head won, and the pavilion suddenly erupted in a roaring and deafening cheer, Zhao Gongzi stood in front of the door of the Accord with an angry face, and saw that Jiang Xiaobai actually made a grimace at him, and he was even more furious, and turned around and said angrily at Qian: "Lord Qian, I want this leopard to be a prisoner for the rest of his life!" ”

Qian Buxiu was also full of hatred, and said angrily: "Zhao Gongzi, don't worry, this kid caused us to lose so much money, no matter who comes, no matter how high the price is, I will not let him get out of this Yuejing Mansion prison!" ”
