Chapter 188: Fighting in the Ring (1)
I thought that after driving away these Liao people, Zhao Gu and the others would be quiet for a while, but they didn't expect that half an hour later, they would go and return. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What's the matter with you? If you still want to compete with Benhou, please bring the rope, and Benhou will tie himself tightly. Zhao Gu said sarcastically.
A group of Liao people were red-faced and red-eared, and they didn't know how to speak, but behind them, a middle-aged official in a luxurious official uniform came.
"Marquis Zhao laughed, my Liao country is a state of etiquette, how can I be rude at will? I'm afraid it's the heart of Marquis Zhao's villain. The person said.
"Hmph, reversing black and white, referring to the deer as a horse, a good state of etiquette." Zhao Gu sneered.
The man was not angry, but said with a smile: "But this official will not prevent the imperial warriors from competing with your Great Song, so it is better to send people from your side to have a battle with our imperial warriors to determine the strength of the two countries." ”
Zhao Gu smiled and shook his head: "Who is stronger and who is weak on both sides of Song and Liao, Ben Hou has personally weighed it in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and this competition is really more form than meaning in Ben Hou's opinion, so it doesn't matter." ”
This man said: "Marquis Zhao, are you afraid?" ”
"Afraid? I'm really afraid, the guards who protect me and Lord Li this time are all our emperor's henchmen, and they have to pay if they want to work, and their heads are not caught by the door, why do you want to agree to your request for a martial arts competition? What are the benefits of this? ”
"This money is from the official, how about it?" The man still wouldn't give up and continued.
Zhao Gu still refused to agree, and said: "In this way, my Great Song is still not cost-effective, we are stronger than you, this is for sure, even if we win, what is the use of you?" On the contrary, if we lose, we will lose our prestige, and what good will it do us? ”
The man was choked by Zhao Gu's words, he only regarded the officials of the Great Song Dynasty as face-loving people, but he didn't expect that Zhao Gu was completely unprovoked by him, and his face couldn't help but sink.
"That's it, if my Da Liao wins this competition, you have to admit that the Great Song Dynasty is not as good as Da Liao, if you win, the official will pay out of his own pocket and give you a hundred copper coins each."
Zhao Gu smiled slightly: "A thousand runs!" ”
"Okay."
The two agreed that this person would go down to prepare for the ring immediately, and Zhao Gu turned around and went back to the room.
Seeing him come back, Li Fu immediately greeted him and said, "Marquis Zhao, whether this matter has been decided too carelessly, the Liao State is trying to kill our prestige, they must have been prepared, if we venture to fight them, I am afraid that it will be ......." ”
"You're going to lose, right?" Zhao Gu shook his head with a smile, looked at Xiao Qi and the other seven guards, and said: "Empress Dowager Xiao asked us for help, naturally we will not help this group of provocative people, that is to say, they can only take out at most half of the masters of the Liao State to fight against us, and the other half of the masters are in the hands of Empress Dowager Xiao, she will naturally not lend them to them, if the emperor personally designated the seven masters for us, even these people can't deal with them, we don't care about the face, just go back to the house, it's better than being assassinated in the future and dying in confusion." ”
When Li Fu saw Zhao Gu say this, he could only nod and agree, but it was Xiao Qi's senior brother, that is, Xiao Yi, who was very excited, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, two adults, if you fight alone, my senior brother will never lose to the Liao." ”
Zhao Gu nodded: "That's very good." ”
Near evening, the official sent someone to inform Zhao Gu and the others that the competition ring had been set up and the competition would be available early tomorrow morning.
Zhao Gu asked the comer to reply, and the Liao Kingdom will definitely lose very badly tomorrow.
There was no word for the night, and the second day soon came.
A rainstorm suddenly fell on the vast grassland, moistening the crazy growth of green grass, many Liao people immediately took out the utensils for storing water at home, and filled them with rainwater in order to meet their needs.
The torrential rain fell for more than an hour, and then the rain passed and the sky cleared, and the Liao official asked people to report that the ring had been set up, and invited the Great Song Dynasty delegation to go over to fight.
Li Fu glanced at Zhao Gu seriously, and saw that he was still indifferent, and he was secretly anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, and instead followed Zhao Gu out of the pavilion.
The ring built by the Liao people is located in the center of the most prosperous street in Liao, when Zhao Gu and others arrived, it was already full of people, and the people of Liao saw Zhao Gu and others coming, and they all glared at them angrily.
Zhao Gu and the others did not squint, and went straight to the viewing platform that was built, the officials of the Liao State did not dare to be too presumptuous, and the most central part of the viewing platform reserved seats for Zhao Gu and Li Fu, and after the two sat down, a tall maid immediately brought tea.
As far as the eye can see, the ring built by the Liao people is a large ring with a length and width of ten zhang, which is blocked by wood on all sides, and only one exit is left for the side facing the viewing platform.
At the same time, the gap between these woods is very large, which can accommodate the body of a child, and it is also convenient for the onlookers of the Liao people to watch the battle.
When Zhao Gu and the others arrived in the ring, a group of Liao officials were already waiting here, including the official they had seen yesterday and the dozen or so strong men.
Looking at their appearance, it seems that their status in the Liao State is not low, and I don't know how they got into a high position with their IQ.
If people like them arrive in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that in less than three days, they will be gnawed to the scum.
The official who still set the ring to fight with Zhao Gu yesterday walked to Zhao Gu's side and asked if he would start the fight immediately, Zhao Gu nodded calmly, and a person from the Liao side immediately rushed into the ring.
Looking at the fierce warriors of the Liao Kingdom who stepped into the ring, Li Fu frowned slightly, and asked Zhao Gu quietly: "We must win the first game, so as to boost morale." ”
Zhao Gu nodded and looked at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi realized, and rushed to the ring on tiptoe, and when he reached the edge of the ring, he stepped heavily on the ground and fell on the wood next to the ring at once.
Zhao Gu smacked his tongue secretly when he saw it, and said in his heart: "This should be the legendary light skill, although the height is only one zhang, but it is still difficult to overcome gravity and fly so high with manpower alone, Xiao Qi is really powerful!" ”
The Liao side was also shocked by Xiao Qi's hand, and many people exclaimed in surprise, unable to figure out why a person could jump so high.
In the ring, the Liao warrior was also shocked by Xiao Qi's hand, and subconsciously wanted to distance himself from him.
Who knew that Xiao Qi was faster, and as soon as he got into the ring, he quickly approached his body, and his fists were about to smash into his head.
This warrior is not extraordinary, and when Xiao Qi's fist was about to hit him, he quickly pulled out the scimitar at his waist and slashed at Xiao Qi.
