The banquet progressed slowly in an extremely joyous atmosphere, but many people were a little absent-minded, especially the men.

They all love beautiful ladies, but not tonight.

Tonight, their minds were all affected by one thing, that is, the next Knight Selection Competition!

Chen Mu received Prussiantown's understanding, and he was very happy, and the little knot with this old priest was finally eliminated.

He watched Bertrand walk to the main table, watched him whisper to Isabella, watched Isabella cast a questioning and worried look at him, and watched Isabella finally nod at him.

Chen Mu knew that Isabella finally chose to believe him.

No matter what kind of mentality Chen Mu has, Chen Mu finally got this opportunity, whether he can take revenge, whether he can successfully find out the traitor, it depends on his performance in the competitive competition!

Bertrand came back with a depressed bitter melon face, he really didn't want to talk to Chen Mu anymore, but he had to convey Isabella's final decision.

"Miss Isabella has agreed to your request."

Chen Mu saw that his face was stinky, and he deliberately angered him like a prank: "Captain, this is not a request, it is a request." ”

Bertrand glanced at Chen Mu and snorted: "Say whatever you want, if you lose, don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

Chen Mu took the opportunity to say to him: "If you don't want to see me lose, just provide a little help, it's better than a verbal battle." ”

Bertrand seemed to see a shameless person, and he could still be so justified in asking for help, but I was afraid that Chen Mu was the only one.

"How do you want help?"

Chen Mu had expected Bertrand to be like this, after all, Isabella gave him full authority for this matter, if it was done well, it would be bright in the future, if it was not done well, he could only continue to work in the position of captain, and even the position of captain would be lost, it was also possible, so Bertrand would definitely not refuse Chen Mu's request for help.

"There is a general in our country once said that knowing oneself and knowing the other is to win all battles, and only by knowing yourself and your enemies can you win all battles, and the captain of Lao bothers to tell me the detailed information of the opponent."

When Bertrand heard this, he asked in surprise and curiosity: "You general is really reasonable, is he still here, can you introduce him to me for me?" ”

Bertrand may have spent time in the barracks before he became the sheriff of the concession, and he became interested in it.

However, Chen Mu's answer made him dumbfounded.

"Oh, the general's history is called Sun Wu, he is a figure more than 2,400 years ago, his military book "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has been passed down for thousands of years, regarded as a classic, and it will take a lot of courage to see him in person......"

Bertrand was also stunned: "People of more than 2,400 years can put forward such advanced and advanced military theories, you Oriental people are really amazing!" ”

Chen Mu wanted to say that the famous sages in history are like dazzling stars in the sky, and they can't be counted, but think about today's country, all over the country is divided by foreign concessions, and the people are not able to make a living, so this kind of thing can't be said, but he feels a little lost and uncomfortable, and said to Bertrand: "The priest should have read this book, and if the captain is interested, he can learn about it from the priest later." ”

Bertrand also exclaimed: "No wonder the priest is so obsessed with oriental culture, the priest is indeed a wise man with foresight." ”

Prussian waved his hand, glanced at the table next to him, and said, "I'm glad that you're interested in learning something new, but this matter will be discussed later, so please sit down now, and tell Chen about the specific situation." ”

The old priest spoke, and Bertrand nodded, and first invited Prussian to sit down, and then glanced at the Baptistes, who had left with a sense of interest, after all, it was an insider, they were just ordinary businessmen, and they also needed to avoid suspicion.

Chen Mu was sitting precariously, listening attentively, but Bertrand poured him a glass of wine first, and then said: "Miss Isabella said, if you are really willing to try, we will cooperate with you, you don't need to worry about the musket team, if you run into it, they will let you go." ”

"It's just Tang Tingfang's side, I need to tell you in detail, this time they came a total of thirteen people, we only bought nine, and there are four hard bones who don't recognize money......"

Chen Mu was also surprised in his heart, he thought that they only bought one or two Neiying, but he didn't expect to buy most of them, listening to him, he seemed to have some regrets, and felt guilty because he couldn't buy them all.

"I will secretly inform these people and let them deliberately lose to you, but the remaining four people, if they run into it, will have to rely on yourself."

"As for the navy, they have always been arrogant, and since Miss Isabella trusts you, I won't tell you that François's family has always wanted to replace the Trio family's agency in the East, and he pursued Miss Isabella for this purpose, so their people cannot be bought, and if you do, don't show mercy."

"These people are adrift on the ocean, lacking humanity, no different from the murderous pirates, you must be careful, one of them is a red-haired man, a Viking, originally a pirate king, and then was subdued by François, people call him the boner, he is François's last hole card, don't think too much when you see it, you must run!"

Chen Mu was also speechless, he wanted to win the final victory, challenge François, how could he win if he ran away!

"Is this Viking really that scary?"

When Prussian heard that it was a Viking, he was also worried, and explained to Chen Mu: "If it is a Viking, then you really have to be careful, this is a pure fighting people, they spit on those who die of illness in bed, and dying on the battlefield is their best destination, and their souls can enter the shrine of Valhalla in Asgard, and they can continue to drink and sing in this heavenly kingdom, and their souls will live forever and tell their legends." ”

"If you die in bed in desolation, you will go to hell Nifheim, and no one will remember your name."

Prussian is a missionary, paying more attention to the national culture, but the national spirit is the fundamental, he explained, so that Chen Mu instantly understood the most important characteristics of this nation.

Bertrand's commentary is simple and close to life, he said to Chen Mu: "The Vikings are best at using battle axes and shields, they also use throwing spears, Vikings are excellent warriors, famous and shocking the world, the boner is their captain, a living legend, the embodiment of death, is François's most powerful killer, you will never forget his eyes if you see it." ”

Westerners pay attention to debate, eloquence is a necessary quality of a gentleman, if you can't even speak clearly, how to communicate and communicate?

Bertrand uses the unique speaking ability of foreigners to shape the image of the boner, and it is difficult for Chen Mu not to be frightened!

It's no wonder that when he proposed to fight to the end, Bertrand would be so resolute in opposition, if this boner is really as he said, then Chen Mu's decision is simply self-defeating!

Chen Mu also fell into difficult thinking, and after a long time, he said to Bertrand: "Captain, the bonneer is so powerful, and he is the killer that François relies on the most, if he wins, won't he become Isabella's servant knight?" ”

The knight is just a decent name, in fact a follower and a thug, and if the boner wins, it will be tantamount to François giving his killer to Isabella.

Based on this consideration, Chen Mu believes that François will not let the boner play, and he will not have the opportunity to encounter such a killing god.

However, Bertrand shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Chen, you are still too young. ”

"The navy can send out five players, and the boning relincher doesn't need to win, he just needs to get rid of all the competitors for his teammates, and even kill all the competitors!"

Chen Mu also suddenly realized, but he was also surprised in his heart: "In such a game, he really dares to kill?" ”

Bertrand laughed and said, "Chen, do you think this is just entertainment?" Is it just to please these VIPs? ”

"Whether it's a competitive match or an underground boxing match or a duel, a game without bloodshed is not exciting enough, although the nobles are pampered, they have a belligerent heart, and the more brutal the game is, the more exciting it will be!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Prussiantown, who was frowning, and finally continued: "Don't take it seriously, they really kill people!" ”

Chen Mu turned his head to look at Prussian, who only drew a cross on his chest: "Those who hold swords will be wounded by swords, may my lord bless them." ”

Seeing this, Chen Mu also fell into deep thought.

Although his martial arts can completely defeat these foreigners, the use of swords by foreigners is not his forte.

He had secretly learned Lu Shengwu's sword technique, but after all, he was only secretly learning, and he didn't know much about Western sword skills, so how could he have confidence in his heart?

Bertrand's people are good sparring opponents, but now that time is in a hurry, there is no time to practice, with Chen Mu's strength alone, it is impossible to win!

Thinking of this, Chen Mu turned his eyes to Tang Tingfang, if he wanted to achieve victory, it seemed that he could only unite the strength of these people!

It's just that he has a disagreement with Tang Tingfang, and he also swept Tang Tingfang's face, Liang Zi has already settled, whether Tang Tingfang will agree to this proposal, Chen Mu has no bottom in his heart.

When he satirized François, he upheld the dignity of the Chinese, and he did see these people showing proud looks, but this does not mean that they must understand the righteousness.

Because they are working hard for foreigners, this is enough to show that they are people who have no sense of national pride, and if they want to impress them, they can only know what they can do, but not what they are righteous.

Thinking like this, Chen Mu inevitably had to wonder, what interests did he have in his hands to be able to pull Tang Tingfang's people over?

Or what can Isabella's power offer that would make these people excited?

While thinking about these questions, Chen Mu also blamed himself in his heart, if he was strong enough, why should he rely on the power of outsiders?

It's not nice to say, but now he relies on Isabella, a foreign girl, which is not much different from eating soft rice.

Now that his father and brother have settled in the ground, as long as he wins the game, challenges François, and finds out the traitor, he can start to rebuild Hong Shuntang, and then he will have enough confidence.
