Chapter 31: The Fifteen-Day Covenant (Part 5)

Vasily stood up, strode into the ring, and took a stance ready to fight.

The two stood opposite each other, and there was a violent impact visually.

Vasily is nearly two meters tall, a large man, with muscles one by one, and his fist clenched into a fist is like an iron bowl. Especially the vicious eyes, the thick mustache, and the clumps of chest hair on the chest all made the people watching the play around scared. On the other hand, Li Zhen is only 1.8 meters tall, lean but green and thin, and his appearance is not as powerful as Vasily.

Li Zhen stretched out his hand to stop it and said, "Wait a minute!" ”

Vasily didn't understand Li Zhen's words, but he understood Li Zhen's gestures and didn't make a move for the time being.

However, the Russians beside Vasily understood Li Zhen's words.

This man is Vasily's translator, whose Chinese name is Chen Yuande. He strode into the ring, staring at Li Zhen without blinking, a cold light flashed in his hazel eyes, and said: "If you go to the ring, you have to compete, if you don't compete, go down." ”

Li Zhen said: "I dare to go to the ring, of course I am here to compete. ”

Chen Yuande said sarcastically: "Since you are in the ring to compete, don't talk so much nonsense, just start fighting." "This is a China expert, not only proficient in Chinese, but also quite familiar with Chinese culture.

Li Zhen said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The competition is to be compared, but it is too child's play to be so casual." ”

"Oh, what do you mean?"

Chen Yuande reached out and touched the bridge of his nose, looking quite interested.

Li Zhenlang said: "The scene is too small, and there are no notary officials. Fifteen days later, I asked Qi Shan, a member of the imperial court and a minister of the imperial court, to judge. In the same way, you can invite a minister from Russia to come. The two sides competed openly. The Russian Hercules lost, obediently get out of Beijing, don't lose the face of the Russians in Beijing. ”

Chen Yuande's face was unhappy and very angry.

The Russian warriors will not lose!

Chen Yuande rolled his eyes and immediately asked, "What if you lose?" ”

"I lost?"

Li Zhen glanced at Vasily contemptuously and said: "The 'No. 1 warrior in the world' in your eyes is vulnerable, and in my eyes, it is not even as good as a local chicken and a dog." ”

Native chickens and dogs?

Chen Yuande touched his nose again, not understanding the meaning of the word.

However, he understood that there must be a demeaning to demeaning.

Chen Yuande no longer asked what to do if Li Zhen lost? Because once the envoys sent by Russia participated, and then the ministers of the Qing Dynasty watched, the competition had been raised to the level of the two countries. As long as Vasily defeats the youth in front of him, it will definitely cause a sensation.

At that time, the propaganda of the Russian victory would give the impression that the Russians were invincible. This also played a great role in the occupation of the north of Heilongjiang by Tsarist Russia.

At this moment, Chen Yuande became excited, and his purpose of coming to Beijing was finally about to be achieved.

Li Zhen stared at Chen Yuande, sneering in his heart.

Everything depends on the strength to speak.

Chen Yuande changed his words and asked, "Respected warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom, what is your name?" Where to stay? Will I be able to attend on time after fifteen days? ”

Li Zhen sneered in his heart, and saw through Chen Yuande's intentions at a glance.

Asking for the address and name is nothing more than not letting Li Zhen regret it.

Li Zhen was originally planning to fight, and said loudly: "My name is Li Zhen, I am a general of the imperial court, and I live in a post house in the south of the city. Since it was a preparation to defeat the Russians, it was impossible to retreat. Fifteen days later, I will meet the battle on time, and I hope that your Russian warriors will not back down. ”

Chen Yuande laughed and said proudly: "Mr. Li Zhen, the Russian warriors are invincible. If you look at the people lying on the ground around you, it's really vulnerable. You can't win, you won't be defeated. ”

Li Zhen showed a look of disdain, got out of the ring, and turned to leave.

Chen Yuande stared at the direction of Li Zhen's departure, his eyes cold.

When Li Zhen's back disappeared, Chen Yuande spoke to Vasily in Russian, and said coldly: "Vasily, we came to Beijing to set up a ring and swept the martial arts hall in Beijing, which has already had a certain impact. Now that the generals of the Qing State are participating in the war, it is an opportunity to expand their influence. You have to defeat the Qing generals and make the Qing people and officials think that the Russian warriors are invincible. ”

"Roar!!"

Vasily roared, raised his fists and pounded his chest, with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes, and said loudly: "Fight for the glory of the tsar, I am invincible. ”

Chen Yuande said again: "When necessary, you can kill the Qing general." ”

The two spoke crookedly, but the people couldn't understand a word.

Because there were still fifteen days left before the challenge, Chen Yuande left with Vasily, leaving an empty ring. Next, Chen Yuande wanted to hype up this matter and expand his influence in order to establish the image of Russia as undefeated.

After Li Zhen returned to the post house, he entered Qi Shan's room.

Qi Shan asked, "I've come back so soon, have you already won the battle?" ”

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "My lord, the last general has gone on a trip, and he has set a date for the contest with the Russians in the fifteenth day. After a pause, Li Zhen knelt down and said, "My lord, the last general will make his own decisions, saying that you will also go in fifteen days, and also asked the Russians to invite a minister sent to Beijing, please forgive me." ”

"Ahh

Qi Shan exclaimed in surprise, a flash of panic flashing in his eyes.

Immediately, Qi Shan scolded: "Ridiculous, it's just nonsense." As I said earlier, this matter involves the Russians and I cannot interfere. Once I got involved, it was a matter between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia, and it was no longer an ordinary people-to-people fight. Alas, why are you so ignorant? ”

Li Zhen knew that Qi Shan had anger in his heart, and said, "My lord, the last general understands. But without you in charge, even if the general defeats the Russians, there will be no deterrent. ”

Qi Shan fought back: "What if you can't win? ”

At this time, Qi Shan's temples suddenly jumped, and his heart was very uneasy. This has just been rewarded by the emperor, but now it is involved in the quagmire of the imperial court and Tsarist Russia, isn't it boring to be self-deprecating? The current imperial court, with internal and external troubles, is no longer the time for the Holy Ancestor Kangxi, and Qishan does not want to deal with Tsarist Russia.

However, Li Zhen is his favorite general, and Qi Shan really doesn't know how to punish him.

Qi Shan quickly calmed down and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Li Zhen replied: "My lord, the last general will definitely cripple the Russians. The general delayed for fifteen days, and then he had to make a big noise so that the people of Beijing would know about it. My lord, please believe that the last general, this time he will definitely win, and he will let the Russians obediently get out of Beijing, so that the Russians will not dare to be presumptuous. ”

Qi Shan nodded helplessly, and had to agree. Li Zhendu reported his name, he was already a duck that had been driven to the shelf, and he had to go.

Li Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "My lord, maybe this is your chance." ”

"What chance?" Qi Shan asked.

Li Zhen said in a low voice: "Think about it, with the participation of the Russian minister, you are also involved. If the last general defeats the Russian Hercules and boosts the country's prestige, you will also be famous all over the world. ”

When Qi Shan heard this, the panic in his eyes disappeared and was replaced by a burning gaze.

Perhaps, this is really his chance.
