Chapter 148: The Battle of the Covenant
"Little master, what to do with them." The man at the head asked Wei Liang for instructions, and then looked at Zhao Fan and the others as if he were looking at prey.
Wei Liang was calm and relaxed at the moment, these dozen middle-aged men were the masters of the Zhongmu Sword Pavilion, these people were all strong in swordsmanship, they were selected by Li Dui and Wei Biao from all over the Zhao Kingdom, with them, Zhao Fan and the others did not want to leave safely.
"Master Zhao, this is the wolf of Yan Zhi, the owner of my Zhongmu Sword Pavilion, who once fought and killed several vicious wolves with a long sword on the grassland, what you said just now is not only contempt for my Wei Liang, but also contempt for the hall master invited by my Wei family, with Mr. Yan's swordsmanship, it is not a problem to teach these disciples at all, but what you said just now made us extremely disappointed."
Wei Liang smiled and said unhurriedly.
He didn't expect Zhao Fan to find death by himself, and immediately wanted to take the opportunity to teach the former a good lesson.
Although he saw that the way was blocked, Zhao Fan did not have any nervousness on his face, he shook his head and said with a smile: "What Ben Shuai said is just the truth, if you Wei Family Sword Pavilion want to prove yourself, you will show your real ability, and say some useless nonsense, which will only make people look down on it even more." β
has already torn his face, so Zhao Fan has nothing to hide, taking care of this and there, and his words became unceremoniously, sneering again and again, with a look of disdain.
The faces of Wei Liang and those swordsmanship masters became extremely ugly, but thinking of Wei Biao's instructions, these words not to cause trouble at will, they also tried to restrain their inner impulses, and their faces were faintly hideous: "Prove? How to prove it? β
Waiting for him to say this, Zhao Fan's eyes immediately turned sharp, and he said coldly: "Lvshuai Wei and all the masters of your sword hall, don't they think they are strong in swordsmanship?" Then I, Zhao Fan, want to have a good lesson, and then I will have a good competition in your Mu Sword Pavilion. β
As soon as Zhao Fan's voice fell, the sword hall suddenly fell silent, and then all the apprentices laughed loudly, especially Wei Liang, whose sneer was revealed. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and has been guided by many swordsmanship masters, even Yan Zhiwolf, who attaches great importance to this little master, teaches him from time to time.
And Zhao Fan, how old he looks, he actually wants to compete with Wei Liang, isn't this boring?
Whether it is marksmanship or swordsmanship, what is particular is pure, skilled, and runs freely, Wei Liang has been learning swordsmanship for more than ten or twenty years, and he is at least mellow and comfortable with swordsmanship, he Zhao Fan, a young man who has not yet reached the crown, how strong can he be?
"Good! I can't imagine that Zhao Shishuai is not only powerful, but also quite commendable, but I don't know how you want to compare? Wei Liang smiled, looking like he was sure of victory.
For the ridicule of the surrounding people, Zhao Fan always maintained a calm face, seeing him like this, the Yan Zhiwolf's brows were also secretly furrowed, a little uneasy, but even so, he still didn't believe that Zhao Fan could win over Wei Liang.
Zhao Fan said indifferently: "Three sets and two wins, you pick two of your so-called masters from your sword hall to participate in the competition with you, and I will also pick two people to participate in the competition with me." However, the competition, naturally you have to have some color to look good, if you lose, you will transfer this Moujian Pavilion to me, and if I lose, then I will immediately apologize to you in front of the people of Handan, and resign from the position of commander. β
Hearing this, Xu Ying and Xu Xiong suddenly pulled the corner of Zhao Fan's clothes, the position of the commander is not a joke, King Huiwen finally persuaded the ministers to let Zhao Fan serve as the commander of the sixth division, so hastily using this as the head of the competition, I'm afraid it's not appropriate.
Seeing this, Zhao Fan also shook his head and signaled that they didn't have to worry.
Wei Liang's face flickered, transferring the Sword Pavilion to Zhao Fan was not something he could call the shots, this matter was very important, and he dared to agree only if Wei Biao agreed. However, if he could defeat Zhao Fan and let the former resign as the commander, his father would be very happy, and he was a little hesitant immediately.
"What? Don't you dare? Zhao Fan clenched his fists and sneered.
A touch of anger appeared on Wei Liang's face, he saw that many civilians had already emerged in front of the Sword Pavilion, if he didn't agree, everyone would think that he was afraid, and the reputation of the Wei Family Sword Pavilion would also be greatly affected, so he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I accept your challenge, and then I will say that the time is right, Zhongmu Sword Pavilion." β
Seeing this, Zhao Fan was also overjoyed, clapped his hands, took Xu Ying, Xu Xiong and the three daughters, and left.
"Little master, I don't think that Zhao Fan is simple." Seeing them leave, Yan Zhiwolf was also a little worried.
Wei Liang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph! Although this son can persuade King Qi to give up the title of emperor, as long as he can take advantage of his tongue. As for his swordsmanship, I have never heard of it, and there must be nothing remarkable about it, and in any case, I will make him lose face when the time comes! β
Hearing this, although Yan Zhiwolf was a little worried, he still nodded.
After leaving the Zhongmu Sword Pavilion, it was already night at this moment, the stars were like a fight, and the bright moon was like a disk. Since it was already night, they expected that there was no food or wine prepared in the house, and they were about to find a restaurant to make do with it, but the steward of the Pingyuan Monarch's Mansion came in a hurry, saying that the general Wang Xian was here, and told them to go back quickly.
Immediately, everyone didn't care about eating and drinking, and followed the steward all the way to the plain king's mansion.
"Why does the division commander want to compete with Wei Liang's cub, it's not a big deal if he wins, not to mention, if he loses, this division commander ......" On the way, Xu Ying was also puzzled and asked.
Hearing this, Zhao Fan's face was also solemn, and he said: "Don't underestimate this sword hall, you see, in the Zhongmu Sword Pavilion alone, there are two or three hundred apprentices, I expect that Handan City is so big, there must be more than this sword hall, there are other places."
If Li Dui and Wei Biao concentrate this force, it will also be quite impressive, if we win, the reputation of their sword hall will be greatly reduced, and there will be a lot fewer civilians who go to study, not to mention, in this way, our reputation will also be played, take advantage of this we will take over the Mou Sword Pavilion and vigorously recruit apprentices, so that our strength will be greatly increased. β
Now Li Dui's troops are powerful, and Zhao Fan and his side only have 12,500 soldiers from the right army and less than 1,000 bearded sword knights, not to mention, these more than 10,000 soldiers are still fighting against Qin in the northwest at the moment. For Handan City alone, they have too few troops at their disposal. If Li Dui's heart is ruthless and ruthless, King Huiwen will be in great danger, so he has to recruit troops as soon as possible.
And opening a sword hall and collecting apprentices is a good way.
After listening to Zhao Fan's explanation, Xu Ying also nodded, and he only now felt the urgency of the situation.
"That strict wolf, are you sure you can deal with it?" While walking, Zhao Fan said to Xu Ying behind him.
Hearing this, Xu Ying also nodded without thinking, and said confidently: "That Yan Zhiwolf does have some skills, I see that he has thick bones and broad shoulders, and at a glance, I know that he is a person who has been immersed in swordsmanship for a long time." However, although he is powerful, he can only fight a few wolves alone, when our brothers were in Xujiazhuang, they crossed the mountains and mountains, and they could tear tigers and leopards with their bare hands, which he could compare. β
Feeling the confidence on Xu Ying's face, Zhao Fan also nodded, he also knew that Xu Ying and Xu Xiong were powerful, and the wolf of Yan was also a master of swordsmanship, but Xu Ying's strength and halberd technique were also very good, and he understood the truth of reducing ten benefits with one force, and he immediately felt a lot more relieved.
After walking for nearly a cup of tea, Zhao Fan finally saw the Pingyuan Junfu in the distance, with several tall lanterns hanging in front of the mansion, and a grand carriage parked in front of the mansion.
"Feng Jun is entertaining the general in the hall, Master Shi Shuai will follow me in."
Everyone followed the steward into the Pingyuan Monarch's Mansion, and after Li Bingbing's three daughters entered the mansion, they returned to the courtyard where they lived, while Zhao Fan and Xu Ying and Xu Xiong went all the way to the hall.
The figures in the hall flickered, and from time to time there were a few hearty laughter, listening to the voice, it was the general Wang Xian's, Zhao Fan came to the door of the hall, only to see the hall staggered, a few pretty women wearing tulle and bearded skirts dancing.
Seeing Zhao Fan appear, Zhao Sheng also hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Fan...... Eh, where has Master Zhao gone, General Wang Xian has been waiting for you for a long time. Habitually, Zhao Fan almost blurted out the word Brother Fan.
This matter can't be revealed for the time being, otherwise it won't be of any benefit to them, so King Huiwen and the others didn't tell anyone anything more except for the three brothers and the three daughters of Zhao Ya'er.
Fortunately, Wang Xian didn't pay attention, and immediately Zhao Fan also breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to Li Yili, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect General Wang Xian to come, I'm really embarrassed, Fan learned about the situation in the city in Handan City in the afternoon, and I hope the general will not blame." β
In terms of military rank, Zhao Fan is the commander of the division, but Wang Xian is the general with the highest status among the military attachΓ©s, no matter whether Wang Xian has military power in his hands or not, his status cannot be changed, so Zhao Fan is also quite respectful immediately.
"Hehe, the robes and talismans that the king ordered me to hand over to you have been ready, so I sent them over, and by the way, I also celebrated the promotion of Master Zhao today." Wang Xian finished smiling, and then handed over a piece of battle armor and runes from the side.
