Chapter 105: The Covenant of Life and Death

After the Eighth Route Army cleaned up the battlefield, the group withdrew with the stolen grain.

The Eighth Route Army's attack from all sides brought a heavy blow to the devil's grain requisition plan this time. The Japanese command was annoyed and angry, and carried out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the area where the Eighth Route Army was entrenched. Since Nakamura Ichiro was separated from Li Yongan that day, he had been staying in Longchang County for a month to compete with Li Yongan. Nakamura Ichiro is not only a master of martial arts, but also a very outstanding military strategist, can be described as full of wisdom, the Japanese soldiers under the command of his idol hero, the morale is high, unstoppable, caused great losses to the Eighth Route Army!

Captain Qu and Tan Suyun are all looking forward to Li Yongan competing with Ichiro Nakamura as soon as possible and getting rid of him! After seeing Li Yongan's kung fu improving by leaps and bounds after hard training, the big guys are full of confidence in him. Only Li Yongan knew in his heart that although his kung fu had improved greatly, he was not sure that he would be able to defeat Ichiro Nakamura!

A month has finally passed, on this day Li Yongan packed up and planned to go to the county seat to find Nakamura Ichiro to formally compete in martial arts, Zhang Laosan and Kang Dali and others were clamoring to accompany him, Li Yongan didn't know what the final result was, he was afraid that they would be in danger, and resolutely refused to let them go together. This is a matter of life and death, how can Zhang Laosan, Kang Dali and others leave him and let him go alone? Resolutely had to follow, when the two sides were at a stalemate, Tan Suyun rushed over, and as soon as they met, he asked Li Yongan: "Are you going to a martial arts competition?" ”

Li Yongan nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Tan Suyun asked him again: "Where are you going to compete with Nakamura Ichiro?" ”

Li Yongan said: "Naturally, it's in the county! ”

Tan Suyun shook his head and said, "You're going to die!" ”

Li Yongan was puzzled and asked, "Why did the eldest lady say that?" ”

Tan Suyun said: "Compete in the county. If you lose, there's nothing to say but a dead end! But what if you win? Do you think the Japanese will let you go safely? They won't! What a shame it is that you have defeated two of them in a row? Will they have other masters to compete with you? Even if there is them, they will not be confident anymore! Your savings will humiliate them, it will affect the morale of their soldiers, how can they still keep you alive? I'm sure I'll kill you in no time! So. Whether you win or lose, you're dead, isn't this still going to die? ”

Li Yongan couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

Tan Suyun thought for a while and said, "You go to the county seat to find Ichiro Nakamura, but don't compete with him." Agree with him to compare with him in a place where there is no one, and say that neither side is allowed to bring anyone else to watch the battle, and you will go to the appointment alone! ”

Li Yongan nodded after hearing this, and said, "Okay, just do it according to the eldest lady's wishes!" ”

Zhang Laosan, Kang Dali and others still want to go along. Take care of him. Tan Suyun persuaded them for Li Yongan: "Don't worry, as long as you don't compete with Nakamura Ichiro, there will be no danger before the winner is decided!" ”

When Zhang Laosan and the others heard this, they had to give up. So Li Yongan set off to the county seat alone.

After coming to the county seat, Li Yongan went straight to the military police headquarters, and the sentry standing guard at the gate received an order after giving a briefing and let him go directly.

Ichiro Nakamura stood in front of the building of the gendarmerie headquarters to greet him personally. After the two met, Ichiro Nakamura asked Li Yongan, "Are you ready to compete with me?" ”

Li Yongan nodded and said, "I'm ready." I can compete with you at any time! ”…

Nakamura Ichiro looked him up and down, nodded and said, "Your condition looks good, much stronger than a month ago!" ”

Li Yongan replied lightly: "Thank you for this!" After a pause, he asked, "Where are we going to compete?" Gendarmerie headquarters or county town? ”

Ichiro Nakamura replied, "Of course it's in the county!" The contest between you and me will be a grand event. It should be seen by the Japanese and Chinese in the whole city! If you don't object, I'd like to arrange our tournament in a bigger city, Shanghai or Nanjing! Let more people witness! "Ichiro Nakamura is ambitious, shows a lot of self-confidence, and is very excited.

Li Yongan shook his head lightly and said, "This arrangement is not appropriate!" ”

Nakamura Ichiro was stunned and asked, "Why?" ”

Li Yongan said: "Whether it is the county seat. Or Nanjing and Shanghai, they are all your spheres of influence. Under your control, most of the spectators who go to watch the tournament will go because of you. Cheer for you, in such an atmosphere will affect the fairness of the competition! The competition between us is a life-and-death contest, and we should choose a place that is not controlled by any party, and only the two of us go to the appointment alone, without any audience, so the competition is fair! ”

Nakamura Ichiro listened for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "You have a point, although this will be very boring, but the competition must first focus on fairness, otherwise even if you win, you won't win!" Let's do what you want, where are you going to choose the venue for the competition? ”

Li Yongan thought for a while and replied, "It's just outside the county!" There is a poplar forest more than 20 miles away from the county seat, and there is a clearing next to the forest, where the scenery is beautiful, very quiet, and just in the middle of the area controlled by both of us, not controlled by either party, it is the most ideal place for martial arts! ”

Nakamura Ichiro nodded and said, "Okay, let's make an appointment there tomorrow!" ”

Li Yongan reminded him again: "We don't take anyone to watch the battle, we go to the appointment alone!" The battle of life and death will not be seen or dispersed! ”

Nakamura Ichiro nodded and repeated: "Don't take anyone to watch the battle, go to the appointment alone, the battle of life and death, see you or leave!" ”

Li Yongan turned around and left the gendarmerie headquarters.

Early the next morning, the two of them came to the clearing next to the poplar forest as promised. The wind and the sun are beautiful, the clouds are light and the sky is high, this kind of weather is more suitable for touring the mountains and rivers, and the martial arts fight seems to be a bit sorcerous! The two men kept their promise, and neither brought anyone else. After Nakamura Ichiro arrived, he took great pains to look around, admired the scenery, nodded to Li Yongan and said: "You China is a good place, with beautiful mountains and rivers, even such a casual suburb, it is such a beautiful scenery!"
