Chapter 66: Raising the Sword
The Yipin Fight was hosted by Dayan, and the rules of the battle were also set by the Yan State, of course, several other countries could make demands before, and the requirements of the Uighurs, Inujon and other countries were extremely simple: it didn't matter how they fought, as long as it was fair.
The rules of the battle set by Yan Guo are very fair: no opponents will be drawn regardless of the number of games, no promotion will be made, let alone the final battle of the rematch, all the samurai will enter the iron cage, and the one who survives in the end is the winner!
The person who set this rule is Jingtai.
However, the rules about 'surrender' in the fight are a bit strange, at the beginning of the war, you can only fight to the death and do not surrender, and only when there are three teams left, you are allowed to surrender, but at that time, if you want to abandon your sword and admit defeat, you must agree to the samurai of the other two countries before you can leave the iron cage...... Master Hu's mind turned quickly, and he quickly reacted, and explained to his subordinates with a smile in a low voice: "Among the three barbarian kingdoms, there is a team of big Yan who wants to get rid of it quickly, so he set such a rule, it should be the dog Rong, and when the fight starts, Yan will most likely go with all his strength to kill the dog Rong warrior first." ”
The Yan people who watched the fight were in high spirits, and everyone understood that the battle to be held, whether it was 'fierce', 'exciting' or 'chaotic', was far beyond the initial imagination. It is about the national system, coupled with such a rule of 'adding fuel to the fire', how can this war end peacefully.
The eunuch read out the rules loudly, and with a wave of Jingtai's hand, the cannon horn shook the four corners of the city, and ten wrestlers turned the winch, and in the harsh sound of rattling, the door of the iron cage opened...... Nanli envoy Hu hesitated slightly, according to the 'process', his own wizards should take the stage first and present their unique skills in front of the Yan people in the city, but now how can there be a high platform to kick and get into the cage to perform? There's really no decency to speak of.
Unexpectedly, the eunuch's selection horn sounded, and he did not greet Nan Li Qishi, but invited the Dayan warrior to enter the iron cage, Luo Guan made a gesture, led the master behind him to Jingtai Shili from afar, and then led his men to step into the cage and occupy a corner of the east. Next, the eunuchs sang one by one, and the Uighurs, dogs, and Tibetans entered in turn, each occupying a corner.
Master Hu and the adjutant beside him glanced at each other, and the adjutant said in a low voice: "Depending on the situation, the door is about to be closed and the battle will begin, and I don't plan to let us perform our skills." As he spoke, he added with a sneer: "Jingtai is stingy, he did such a thing, thinking that he would cut our faces by putting us aside and ignoring us, but he didn't know that it was himself who really made people laugh." ”
Master Hu smiled and nodded, and at this time, the eunuch turned his eyes to the Nanli team, and sang with a smile: "Please invite Nanli heroes to join the battle, and the five kingdoms can begin!" ”
The adjutant shouted, and Lord Hu also frowned, and said for a moment that he had heard it wrong, and it was not until the eunuch of Yan Guo sang again that he woke up in shock. Not only was everyone in Nanli surprised, but even Chen Hui, Ah Xia, and a group of Uighur warriors who had already entered the cage also frowned.
Lord Hu argued with Jingtai from afar: "On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the envoys of various countries, His Majesty Chrysostom said that Nanli did not need to gamble on this game, and the Uighurs, Dogs and Tibetans had no objections."
He also had to rely on the loud voice behind him to pass the word on his behalf, and after a slight pause, he was about to continue, Jingtai laughed and waved his hand to interrupt: "Lord Hu think about it carefully, when the palace is called, what I said is: Nanli has not sent warriors, so there is no need to put bets in." If it's missing, I'll apologize for serving you tea... I only said that you don't have to put bets in, when should I promise that you don't have to fight this fight? ”
With Nanli's ten wonders, he didn't want to come out alive after entering the iron cage, and when Lord Hu returned to Phoenix, how could Feng Long spare him, and immediately shook his sleeves and protested: "Your Majesty himself said that the people sent by Nanli are not samurai......
Jingtai shook his head and smiled: "It's not a samurai, at least they're all living people, why can't you get into the fight, besides, I have really taken care of you, Lord Hu must know how to be content and grateful." ”
Master Hu angrily reprimanded: "Hu is dizzy and can't see where His Majesty's care is, how can he be grateful!" If you want me to be content, unless someone can't tell what is cold and what is content! Zuo Cheng really turned his face, and he was no longer polite when he exited.
The words were piercing, and immediately attracted countless Yan people to scold, Lord Hu's face was pale, and he didn't look at the countless Yan people around him at all, and only fixed his eyes firmly on Jingtai, who was high above.
Jingtai was unmoved, waved his hand to suppress the noise of his subjects, and continued to laugh: "Nanli doesn't need to take out a penny of bets, you can enter this gamble of ten thousand gold, Jiangshan, and the prince, if you lose, you don't have to take out anything, if you win, you can win a big lottery, isn't this taking care of what?" Very well taken care of. In the other countries, no one including my Dayan has been treated so favorably. ”
"And... I've always wanted to ask you Nanli, if you don't dare to go to the fight, what are you Nanli sending envoys here for?! Hu Chengxiao, your eyes are spent, but you are not blind! If you take a closer look, the Uighurs, the Tibetans, and the Inujung, which country didn't send heroic warriors to fight a product, the same national letter, the same words, why did you send some strange people who don't know the so-called in Nanli? I know that you have something to say, you have caught the words on the national letter and worked hard, and there are really a lot of idlers in Nanli...... But why don't you take a closer look at the national letter, even if it's a 'wizard', you have to enter the ring! ”
It was indeed written in the national letter of the fight that he wanted to enter the ring, but according to the advance imagination of the Nanli court, it was not the samurai sent by his own family, and the other party always had to speak with a demeanor, and would not let the Qishi go on stage to fight with the samurai of other countries.
If you take a step back, it doesn't matter if you really take the stage, your own people are not samurai, there is no shame in admitting defeat on stage, if the other party chases and fights, it will only leave a dirty reputation of victory, and no one will take the initiative to ask for this notoriety...... But the rules of 'surrender' in the iron cage are clear, and only when there are warriors of the Three Kingdoms left, there will be surrender.
Now, Prime Minister Zuo finally realized that Jingtai had set this rule, and half of it was as Lord Hu had expected, to kill all the samurai who had a vengeance; And the other half of the reason is simply for the sake of ten Nan Li Qishi.
Nan Li Qishi is not much stronger than ordinary people, and there is no way to survive if he is trapped in an iron cage.
Jingtai never thought of letting ten Nan Li Qishi go back alive...... State affairs, it's not that you can't cheat, Nanli sent some strange and capable people to fight is cheating, but there must be a tenable reason, Jingtai has already stood up to the truth, no matter what is sent, he will be in the fight, if Lord Hu defends again, it is not impossible for the other party to be taken down and imprisoned on the spot.
Lord Hu gritted his teeth for a moment, turned his head and looked at the general of the forbidden army who escorted Yixing to Yan from Nanli, the latter understood what he meant, and after smiling calmly, he said to his opponent: "I should have fought for Nanli, and I went to fight Yipin, which brother ......?"
Before he finished speaking, Jingtai on the city tower poked his fingers and said something, and after a while, the guards said angrily: "The people who went to the fight have already registered and made a record, and they will be replaced on the spot, do you really think that this product is your family's vegetable garden, and you can still pick and choose?!" If you want to change people, it's easy, kill those ten wonders, and I will allow you to change ten more! ”
The last road was also blocked by Jingtai.
The matter has come to this point, the situation of death, Nan Liqishi really has nothing to care about, Ayigo was the first to turn his face: "Fight, fight, I'm afraid of a turtle son!" "Pull up Nan Rong with her left hand, pull up Song Yang with her right hand, and she is about to step into the iron cage, Xiao Nan must pull it, and the other one she wanted to grab Shi Xiaoxiao or Xiao Qi's hand, but those two people are a little far away from her...... Song Yang didn't move, but dragged Ayigo's footsteps, Heikouyao frowned, and asked him: "Your baby is not like a brother who is afraid of death!" ”
Song Yang shook his head, signaled her to be restless, and looked up at Jingtai: "If you don't have a blade, how can you enter the fight and fight?" ”
Jingtai stretched out his hand and pointed to the blind cane in the blind man's hand: "Isn't his stick a blade?" ”
All the Yan people laughed with their own emperor, but the blind man himself was at a loss, and when the dwarf explained things clearly to him, the blind man was furious, he was already dying, and he would be ridiculed again, who could bear it, his arms clicked hard, he angrily broke his blind cane, and shouted: "Bring a knife, your Guigu Immortal wants to use a steel knife!" ”
The dwarf was also unusual, not only did he not disagree with the blind man, but echoed him: "Bring the sword, the fire real person asks the sword to be respected!" ”
Master Hu was a little too cautious before, he guessed that Jingtai might be looking for trouble, in order not to give the other party the truth, he avoided everything that could be avoided before the trip, and the accompanying escort Nanli guards did not bring blades, so they could not hand weapons to their companions.
Nan Li Qishi was determined to enter the fight, Jingtai had already fulfilled his wish, if they were not allowed to hold the knife, it would be too stingy, and immediately smiled and passed the decree, ordering the soldiers under the city to send weapons to the strangers, the blind man, the old way, including the second fool Xiao Qi, whether or not the two fools all chose a weapon, among which the two fools were the most honest, chose a big shield, and whispered to Xiao Qi: "Don't worry, I will protect you." ”
Song Yang was the only one who didn't choose the blade, stretched out his hand and pointed to the dragon bird on the small platform, and asked Jingtai: "Is it okay to choose this knife?" ”
Jingtai frowned at first, but then laughed again: "That's the prize for the fifth place, and you can only be the fifth place, counting it, this knife is really yours, okay, if you can take it, take it, touch it before you die, it's not a trip in vain." ”
Without the help of others, Song Yang flew onto the small platform and copied the dragon bird into his hand, and in that moment, Song Yang seemed to hear a crisp cry in the dark!
The war knife left by Imperial Physician You finally returned to his hand, although Song Yang had already prepared, but the excitement in his heart exploded, when he saw it not long ago, the blood all over his body boiled, and when he held it in his hand at this moment, his skin, flesh, and blood were really about to explode, he wanted to cry and laugh, and he couldn't suppress or want to suppress the strong emotions, which made him tremble involuntarily.
Jingtai and countless Yan people still poured this knife too heavy, Song Yang's trembling was because he couldn't hold it, and the laughter sounded again, and after a while, Song Yang suddenly roared, and the previous trembling figure was as steady as a rock at the moment, and the one-handed sword was raised to the sky...... Raise the knife, bright knife.
Show it to the man in heaven!
