Volume 2: Dragon Teng Xijing Chapter 387: Crowd Anger
Han Izuyun's expression was a little solemn, everyone's hearts were raised to their throats at one time, and they all stared at Han Izuyun tightly, only to see that his brows were furrowed very closely, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said: "Originally, the big war is imminent, morale is the most important thing, I probably shouldn't say these discouraged words, but this time it is about the treasure of my Qiankun Martial Arts Pavilion, I still want to ask cautiously." Lu Yao, if you meet Muto Sora again, what are your chances of winning? ”
When Lu Yao heard this, he thought about it, and naturally said, "Ninety percent chance of winning!" ”
As soon as this answer came out, Han Izumo's face soothed a lot, and he looked at Lu Yao and continued: "I met the Japanese delegation at the gate of the martial arts hall just now, and I saw that Muto Sora was also in the middle of the team, however, one thing that surprised me was that with his strength, he was in awe of a woman, and if my guess was right, that woman should be Michiko Ishihara who was exempted from the preliminary round in the Japanese delegation." ”
Sure enough, what Han Lao was worried about was about this mysterious Ishihara Michiko, others may not know, but Lu Yao already knew it from the man in black, why is this.
The man in black said that Muto Sora's strength and Ishihara Michiko must be incomparable, even two Muto Sora are not one Ishihara Michiko's opponent. They understand that very well.
But Lu Yao knew this, but others didn't, Buick asked with some difficulty: "Senior Han, could it be that this woman's identity is more noble?" ”
In this room, only the three Han Izumo masters and apprentices of the Qiankun Martial Arts Hall, Lu Yao and Jin Yulong knew the strength of Muto Kong, and when they heard Buick's words, everyone shook their heads in unison, Han Izumo looked at Buick kindly and said: "Impossible, Japan is a country that advocates the spirit of bushido, and martial artists are extremely honorable in their hearts. ”
"Yes, not to mention that the other party is still a woman, the status of women in Japan is far lower than that of men, even if it is the royal family, since Muto Kong has such an attitude towards a woman, it can only show that this woman's strength is far above Muto Kong." Jin Yulong also echoed.
"Yes, I'm like that, I've been to Japan before, and I agree very much with what Mr. Jin said." Qiao Long also expressed his opinion at this time.
"Why does the Japanese side attach so much importance to this martial arts competition, is there something we don't know about it?" Wang Ping said in surprise.
This sentence involved everyone's thoughts at once, and everyone frowned and guessed, but Lu Yao was most concerned about this at this time, but about the identity of the man in black.
Why didn't Han Izumo know about Michiko Ishihara, and why was Jin Yulong as strong as he didn't know anything about it, but why did the man in black not only know these things in advance, but also knew so much about Michiko Ishihara's strength, what his identity was, and judging from the tone he was talking to himself at the time, he not only knew the strength of the other party, but also the strength of the Chinese representative, and even the mysterious young man among the Chinese representatives couldn't escape his eyes, could it be that he arranged all this?
Lu Yao has to think so, because he knows a truth, if a person wants to fully understand the rules of a game, either you have played this game countless times, or you are the maker of this game, just like an online game, the person who clearly knows the existence of all the bugs in it must be a programmer and developer of an online game, otherwise in such a short period of time, no one will have so much insight into this competition so clearly!
Just when everyone was speculating about the identity of this Ishihara Michiko, the young man in the yellow suit who had distributed the documents before went back and forth, glanced at everyone in the room, and shouted in an unkind tone: "Why are you still here, you are gathering in such a private place, be careful that I denounce you and disqualify your two martial arts halls!" ”
Han Izuyun glanced at the young man, then at Lu Yao and Jin Yulong respectively, glanced at the two of them, and left with his apprentice. After seeing them leave again, the young man glanced at Lu Yao and the others fiercely, slammed the door shut, and left.
……
……
"Lu Yao, Ah Long, although the two of you are both representing the Tianxin Martial Arts Pavilion this time, I hope you can also understand that you are not only representing the Tianxin Martial Arts Pavilion, I have discussed with Han Lao before, this time the competition may only be the only two of you who may be able to enter the final finals, so I want to assign you a task." Jin Yulong whispered after everyone left.
"Well, but by command!" Both replied earnestly.
“……”
……
……
Before the start of the competition, all the representatives had to come out first, originally thought that each martial arts hall would only have two places to qualify, but after the appearance, Lu Yao saw that the original number of martial arts halls was uncertain, some martial arts halls only had one representative, and some martial arts halls had four or five representatives, but most of them were the same as Tianxin martial arts halls, and sent two representatives.
There were a lot of leaders on the stage, some dressed in military uniforms, some dressed casually, some wore orthodox kimonos, and there was also an old man in a yellow suit like the young man with a bad attitude before sitting on the rostrum.
Lu Yao's guess is right, this old man is the chief referee of this martial arts competition, and after many leaders spoke one by one, as a representative of the referee, he also came to the stage to announce some regulations and standards for the competition.
This time, the contestants participating in the competition can be divided into two sides, the Northwest Martial Arts and the Japanese side, the Japanese side has only nine representatives, and the Northwest Martial Arts has a total of 48 people, and the Northwest Martial Arts has an overwhelming advantage in terms of numbers. But as said before, everyone in the Northwest Martial Arts has to participate in the preliminary round, and only four Japanese representatives participate in the preliminary round, and the remaining five are waiting directly in the semi-finals, and what is even more excessive is that the previous information did not indicate that among the nine people represented by the Japanese side, Michiko Ishihara and Matsushichiro did not even have to participate in the semi-finals, and directly entered the semi-finals, and they would not meet before the finals, that is, two of the fifty-seven people who participated in the competition, and the remaining fifty-five people competed for two semi-final places.
Among the 55 people, if the people of the Northwest Martial Arts won the places in the two semi-finals, then they will face Michiko Ishihara and Matsushichiro respectively, if they both lose to each other, then there is no need to play the final, the Japanese delegation is directly the final winner, and if the representative of the Northwest Martial Arts of one side wins by luck, then the final can only be played between the representatives of China and Japan.
This is still a relatively good situation, if a Japanese player stands out from these 55 people, one person wins, it is from the semi-finals between three Japanese players and one Northwest martial arts player, if two people win, they don't even have to compare the semi-finals, they win directly.
Either of these situations will mean that the Japanese delegation has at least a 50 percent chance of winning the final victory.
When the organizers announced these rules, the entire venue was booed, as if they were going to overturn the roof of the venue, especially those representatives of the Northwest Martial Arts, who were even more indignant, what kind of martial arts exchange competition is this, this is simply being bullied to their own doorstep.
"What kind of bullshit competition, who formulated the rules of this competition, why don't you go to the Japanese as slaves, is this a competition?"
"It is strongly recommended that the organizers revise the rules of the competition, and everyone will be treated equally and speak according to their ability!"
"Return the money, return the money, we don't look at it, this is simply bullying!"
"Yes, return the money and let them go back to their own country, we don't want to watch them play!"
“……”
The waves of complaints and angry scolding rose higher and higher, completely covering up the voice of the host who read out the rules of the game on the rostrum, and at this time, both the Chinese and Japanese leaders on the rostrum were ugly.
"Listen to me, there is no fairness in the competition, if you want to win the respect of others, you have to speak with strength, we can understand your dissatisfaction, but I want to tell you, please believe in our players, from ancient times to the present, we Chinese people have never been afraid of anything, do you say?" Suddenly, a sound that was enough to drown out all the voices resounded in every corner of the stadium, suppressing all the sounds.
Lu Yao looked up at the source of the voice, and saw that it was the old man in the yellow suit who spoke, that is, the chief referee of this competition. His expression was very relaxed when he spoke, and Lu Yao could see that he didn't deliberately raise the decibel level to a very high level when he spoke, everything was said as if he was chatting casually, but that's it, his voice was stubbornly surpassing all the sounds, and it clearly entered everyone's ears.
"This man is not simple!" Lu Yao said secretly in his heart.
The old man's words were very pertinent, ordinary people were thrilled when they heard it, the representatives of the Northwest Martial Arts were enthusiastic when they heard it, and the Japanese representatives couldn't say anything although their faces were not good-looking.
As the old man's words settled, the audience also quieted down as if they had bought his account. The old man continued: "This is the end of the opening ceremony, let's enjoy the game!" ”
