Chapter 16: Steppe Invasion
Wright was the third to play, and he left two words for Lin Xia before he went on the court: "One move!"
"Damn. Lin Xia was a little speechless, this rhythm allowed himself to deviate, Willy resisted a punch in the chest, and ended the competition with one move, and now Wright is going to do the same. The difference in strength is one level, although there is a gap, but it is not a move that can be ended, and there are many victories in leapfrogging challenges, how can they all be in one move today. The main reason why I was able to defeat the enemy with one move was the true qi I cultivated.
Wright arrived on the court, raised his chubby hand above his head, and compared one, Lin Xia knew what he meant, "one move", but this Lin Xia saw this posture, and his first reaction was a lightning rod.
And Wright's opponent, looking at Wright's posture of pointing to the sky, felt that this posture was very similar to the goddess statue of the Holy See of Light, and said to himself: "Could it be some kind of ritual of the Holy See of Light?"
As soon as referee Razor's "start" fell, Wright crashed into his opponent, who was already very fat, like a tank at this time, but gave Lin Xia more like a "roudan chariot".
At the moment when Wright crashed into his opponent, Wright saw that the opponent actually took out a magic wand, this turned out to be a magician, why don't you wear a magician robe, what's the matter with wearing a warrior suit.
Wright hurriedly retracted his strength, the mage's body is relatively fragile, and if he doesn't die after such a blow, he will be crippled. But Wright hit with all his strength, which was so easy to retract, and in this way, the magician was knocked out of the ring by Wright's move. Fortunately, Wright regained most of his strength, and the magician was not injured.
Wright was stunned in place, and said in his heart: "Should I give the magician some time in the ring, isn't it a bit despicable for me to win." ”
The magician was even more depressed, what did you mean by your sky-pointing posture, I thought you were also a magician, or I would definitely cast a talisman magic first.
Wright walked off the stage in a daze, a little unenergetic, and said to Lin Xia: "I'm embarrassed today." ”
"I don't blame you, it's that the magician is slow to prepare. Lin Xia said with relief.
At this time, Ferdinand in the stands had a blue face, and the middle-aged man above him said: "Ferdinand, your son Wright's martial arts skills are really powerful enough, and when the magician does not resist, he can win with one move, which is amazing." ”
Ferdinand also blushed a little, but still forced his defense: "Philip, what's the problem with winning quickly while the magician is not using magic?"
"Of course you can do that if you're on the battlefield, but now it's a competition in the ring, do you still have the chivalry? Philip said lightly. The man who sat at the head of Ferdinand was Rist's father, the commander of the Fifth Legion.
"The ring is like a battlefield, what's the problem?" Ferdinand was so angry that he knew that Philip was right, but the two of them had been fighting for more than ten years, and they couldn't admit defeat to death.
"That's why you're always inferior to me, not atmospheric enough. Philip laughed, and he didn't want to let go of the opportunity to satirize Ferdinand.
Ferdinand ignored Philip, closed his eyes to recuperate, and was actually thinking about going back to teach Wright a good lesson, and was mentally calculating that Wright would not be able to get out of bed for a few days.
The fourth match between Rist and Bradley has begun, and Rist is in the ring with a sword.
Lin Xia looked at Rist's sword intent and said, "Should I also prepare a knife, otherwise I will suffer a little if I encounter Rist." ”
Rist in the ring still had an expressionless dead face, raised his left hand holding the sword, and said: "Bradley, your strength is too far from mine, I let you have your left hand, if I use my left hand, even if I lose." ”
"No, you don't. "Bradley.
"This kid is actually quite backbone. Wright heard Bradley's words in the audience and said to Lin Xia.
As soon as Wright's words were finished, Bradley had already said to referee Razor: "I admit defeat." With that, he walked out of the ring.
Rist didn't have any expression when he saw Bradley admitting defeat, and it didn't matter to him whether he conceded defeat or not.
"It's quite backbone. Lin Xia teased with a smile.
"Hey, Bradley, you're throwing in the towel, or aren't you a gentleman?" Wright said.
"Why can't you admit defeat when you know you can't fight?" Bradley replied to Wright without being ashamed of admitting defeat.
Wright was stunned, Bradley made sense, but how did it feel wrong.
Lin Xia looked at Wright standing stunned, and said, "Because of chivalry, although I haven't been rated as a knight yet, as a martial artist, I must also have the spirit of challenging difficulties." ”
After listening to Lin Xia's words, Wright suddenly realized and said, "You're right, just like although I can't beat Lister, I still have to try it with him, and I will definitely be a great knight in the future." ”
Listening to Wright's boasting, Lin Xia was quite speechless to Wright, is this Wright stupid. But Lin Xia likes Wright's character very much.
Referee Razor is ready to announce an hour of rest, and an hour later the semi-finals will begin.
Before Razor could start to announce, a horse broke into the arena, and the rider was dressed in rags, and he fell off his horse as soon as he entered the arena, apparently due to excessive fatigue.
Although this is a martial arts arena, it is in the palace, and since one person and one horse have broken in at this time, there must be an emergency military situation.
Lei Ze didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked over, the rider was obviously mentally tired to what time it was, and took out a piece of Zou Baba's paper from his arms and said to Lei Ze: "Emergency military situation." With that, he fainted.
Razor took the paper and hurried to the stands, ready to salute.
"Read. Without waiting for Lei Ze to salute, the emperor in the stands said directly.
"Two hundred thousand cavalry of the steppe people invaded the territory of the empire, and the date is three days ago. Razor said loudly.
After listening to Lei Ze's report, everyone in the stands was in an uproar, 200,000 steppe cavalry was the largest in the last five years, and it was an invasion of the empire, and it had obviously crossed the border.
The first person sitting on the left side of the emperor got up and said, "Please suspend the review Your Majesty, you need to discuss the plan for assistance as soon as possible." ”
The emperor nodded and said, "The major generals and above of the military department and the ministers of the various ministries will immediately go to the council hall. After speaking, he got up and was supported by the court attendants and left.
Everyone in the stands left one after another, and Lei Ze returned to these noble children and said, "Due to the urgent military situation, you will wait for the notification of the review after you go back." ”
These noble children also heard the military information that Lei Ze had just read, and they had no objections, and followed the court attendants out of the palace.
On the way out of the palace, Wright said to Lin Xia, "I'm afraid I can't drink with you today." ”
"What's wrong?" Lin Xia asked.
"You also heard the military situation just now, the Fourth Army of 200,000 steppe people will definitely not be able to resist, and it needs to be transferred from within the empire, and the ones who have no task at the moment are the Ninth Army of the old bastard and the Fifth Army of Lister's father Philip. I'm afraid I'm going to go to the border with my old bastard tonight to fight the enemy. Wright said.
"Why not the Fifth Army?" Lin Xia asked.
"The Ninth Army and the Fifth Army are both armies guarding the imperial capital, the Ninth Army is stationed in the north, while the Fifth Army is stationed in the south, the Ninth Army will arrive at least half a day earlier than the Fifth Army, and you have also seen that the military situation is very urgent, it must be the Ninth Army that has set off. Wright said.
At this time, he had already walked to the gate of the palace and said to Wright: "Then I wish you a victory." ”
"Thank you. Wright said, after saying that, he broke up with Lin Xia and went home to prepare.
Lin Xia waited for a while, Antonio also came to the palace gate, although Antonio has the status of a viscount, but he has no position in the military department, so he did not go to the council hall, and went directly out of the palace and the two returned to the viscount's mansion.
Now many military generals either go to the border, or meet daily to discuss the war with the steppe people, and the review is suspended for a long time.
In addition to Lin Xia's daily cultivation and academy study, he also had more things to manage Hongxing. Every day, I would go to Tony's incense hall to sit for a while and see how the brothers adjusted.
Troy listened to Lin Xia's words, and picked out eight people from Tony's original subordinates, who were temporarily regarded as peripheral members of Hong Xing, plus Troy and five classmates, even if Sean was on, Hong Xing was only fourteen, although with Tony's protection fee of fifty gold coins per month, Hong Xing was still too weak.
Lin Xia took Sean to the Ning Xiang Pavilion as usual, and saw that the brothers were wearing uniform uniforms, with the word "Hongxing" printed on the left chest, the uniform was designed by Lin Xia according to the tunic of the previous life, and everyone was full of energy in their posts, and felt very satisfied.
Coming to the office specially prepared for Lin Xia by Tony on the second floor of the Ning Xiang Pavilion, listening to Troy's report on Hong Xing's affairs, a Hong Xing's brother entered the house and said urgently: "Boss, there are five people downstairs making trouble." ”
Troy asked, "What is the reason?" ”
The man who came in: "Not long after these people came, they drank in the hall, called five girls, and just after a few sips of wine, they said that our girls were unruly, ruined their interest, and asked the boss to come out and pay him money." ”
As soon as Lin Xia heard it, he knew that these people were deliberately here to make trouble, and said, "Go down and take a look." ”
As soon as a few people went out, Tony also walked downstairs with people, and Lin Xia saw that Tony was not in a hurry, and said, "Boss Tony." ”
Tony also stopped and said, "Young Master Lin Xia, when did you come, you didn't notify me." ”
Lin Xia shook his hand and said, "It's okay, you also know that there is trouble below, what are you going to do?"
Tony said with a bitter face: "There will always be one or two things like this every once in a while, what else, we are in business, investigate their background, if you can't afford to lose some money, let them go." ”
Lin Xia also understood that these people were obviously here to make trouble, and since they could come to the Ning Xiang Pavilion to make trouble, they must be more powerful than Tony. Like Tony, who has no backstage, he can only deal with such things peacefully, after all, it is not a serious business, if he goes to the police station and makes things bigger, this business can no longer be done. So he said: "Boss Tony, I said that you will be protected by me Hongxing here in the future, and you will watch from the side and don't talk after a while." ”
Tony was a little hesitant, although Lin Xia's performance in the previous negotiation made him look high, but he felt that Lin Xia was too young, and he was still a little uneasy.
Seeing Tony's hesitation, Lin Xia snorted with a cold face and said, "If you don't worry, you don't have to go down." ”
Tony glanced at Sean behind Lin Xia, and could only say ruthlessly: "Okay, everything depends on Young Master Lin Xia." ”
