Chapter 594: Competition
"What's your name?"
Xu Rui pointed to the man who spoke before and asked.
"Me?"
The man pointed to his nose and said, "Listen, grandpa's name is Nu Sanha, and he is a descendant of the Immortal Heaven!" ”
Xu Rui nodded, turned his head and said, "Shaodong, according to the laws of Great Wei, what is the sin of insulting Qincha?" ”
Lin Shaodong walked out from behind Xu Rui and said with a sneer: "His crime should be punished!" ”
Xu Rui nodded again: "Then what are you waiting for?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding Apocalypse Guard defenders suddenly raised their crossbows and aimed at Nu Sanha.
The faces of the grassland people changed, and they raised their sabers one after another, and Hasan sneered: "You are a living king, and you dare to kill your grandfather?" ”
Lin Shaodong didn't answer, just waved his hand coldly, and more than a dozen consecutive crossbows fired a volley, and the whistling arrow rain accurately hit Nu Hassan, who was close at hand, and instantly shot him into a hedgehog.
With an expression of disbelief on his face, Angry Hassan stared at a pair of big eyes and slowly fell, dead and blind.
The rest of the steppe people were frightened and angry, and were about to rush forward with their sabers to avenge Hassan, but the defenders around them immediately aimed their crossbows at them.
At this time, a group of grassland talents found that there were few people on their side, the distance was close, and they had not yet ridden horses, as long as Xu Rui hooked his fingers, he could kill them.
"Stop!"
At this moment, a few horses suddenly rushed out in the distance, led by a middle-aged man in his fifties with a full beard.
"Lord Mandu!"
When a group of grassland warriors saw this person, they seemed to have a backbone in an instant, and their fierce momentum was like a raging fire rekindled.
Seeing Mandu rushing to the middle of the grassland people, Xu Rui frowned: "Who are you?" ”
The middle-aged man glanced at Nu Sanha, who died tragically, glared at Xu Rui and said coldly: "I am the king of the grassland, the welcoming envoy of the Great Khan of Uliji!" ”
Xu Rui gave full authority to Lin Shaodong in the previous negotiations, and he did not come forward, but this is the first time he has seen this greeting envoy.
"Oh, so you're Mandu."
Xu Rui said lightly.
Mandu stared at Xu Rui and said coldly: "As the marriage envoy of His Majesty the Emperor of Great Wei, why did you want to kill my people, you are not afraid of angering the Great Khan and making you Han people pay?" ”
Xu Rui sneered when he heard this: "Ben Hou is the marriage envoy given by the Holy Lord, on behalf of the Great Wei Emperor, he insults Ben Hou is an insult to the Great Wei Emperor, the majesty of the Great Wei Emperor is sacrosanct, killing him is only the lightest punishment!"
I don't think anyone would have been much better off if someone had insulted your Uliji Khan in front of you, wouldn't it have ended much better? Can you understand that? Mandu-sama! ”
Hearing this, Mandu snorted coldly and said, "If anyone dares to insult the Great Khan in front of me, I will tear him apart, and then divide his body to the wild wolves to devour, so that his soul will never be able to return to the embrace of the Immortal Heaven." ”
Speaking of this, Mandu suddenly changed his words and said: "We have no intention of offending His Majesty the wise Emperor of Great Wei, but dignity cannot be pulled out by a big banner, the Hou Ye hid under the signboard of Emperor Great Wei and slaughtered my grassland warriors, I am afraid that Nu Sangha is not wrong, you are a gutless living king, no one will be convinced by a living king!" ”
"Bold!"
When the generals heard this, they were furious, and Cao Siyuan shouted even more.
Xu Rui waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then how can you be convinced?" ”
Mandu said: "The descendants of the Immortal Heaven are the bravest warriors in this world, we believe in the strong, if you can get out of the protection of your subordinates and defeat me, we will be convinced." ”
Xu Rui's eyes narrowed slightly: "You mean you want to duel with me?" ”
Mandu nodded: "Exactly! ”
Xu Rui smiled dumbly and said, "Forget it, if I kill you again, won't this feud get bigger and bigger?" ”
Mandu smiled contemptuously: "Master Hou, rest assured, the duel on the grassland is a truth that all tribes believe in, if the two compete fairly, life and death will be completely handed over to the Immortal Heaven, no matter what the result is, neither side can take this as an enemy!" ”
"Oh? Is that so? ”
Xu Rui asked suspiciously.
This time, not only Mandu, but all the grassland people nodded subconsciously.
The Heavenly Apocalypse Guards suddenly looked at Xu Rui, with affirmations and worries, and so on.
Xu Rui pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, if you want to duel with me, you are not qualified enough!" ”
After speaking, Xu Rui was about to turn around and go back to the camp.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Mandu suddenly roared and said with a cruel smile: "Does Master Hou think that Mandu is not qualified enough, or is he afraid of duels at all?" If you go back from here today, the whole grassland will laugh at you! Live, King, Eight! ”
"The big officials of their Han people are as weak as rabbits, and they only dare to hide behind their backs, relying on the strength of the crowd to speak ruthlessly, hahahaha!"
When the grassland people heard this, they burst into laughter, and the soldiers of the Apocalypse Guard gritted their teeth and tried to suppress the anger in their hearts.
Mandu said again: "Master Hou, you said that you killed Nu Sangha for the dignity of Emperor Great Wei, but Nu Sangha also represents the dignity of the Great Khan, if you don't duel with me, this matter will not be over today!" ”
"Oh?"
Xu Rui turned around with a smile: "So I can't do it if I don't duel with you today?" ”
Mandu nodded: "Exactly! ”
Xu Rui smiled: "Okay, if I win, you can go back, hold your tail like a watchdog, and obediently wait for Princess Luan to arrive at the Khan Court." ”
Mandu frowned: "Okay! But no matter if you win or lose, Nu Sanha's death will be written off, if you win, do as you say, but if I win, you have to hand over Princess Qixia to us immediately, and then kowtow to Nu Sanha in front of everyone to apologize, and call him grandpa! ”
Xu Rui nodded, and then asked, "But if I kill you by mistake in a duel, who will carry out the bet you made?" ”
The prairie people laughed again.
Xu Rui has a thin figure and a delicate face, how can he have a sense of strength, just like a rabbit saying to a wild wolf that I want to eat you.
Mandu also forced a smile, and said to Xu Rui: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, dueling is a common rule of all tribes in the grassland, if you really have the ability to kill me, my subordinates will also complete today's gambling contract for me!" ”
"Good!"
Xu Rui nodded, stretched out his left hand, Qin Fei immediately handed the broken edge to Xu Rui's hand, Xu Rui held the broken edge and slowly walked to the center.
"How to duel, Lord Mandu, you say."
Seeing that Xu Rui really walked out of the crowd alone with a sword, Mandu's expression instantly became serious, and he said loudly: "There is only one rule, when you go to the dueling arena, life and death will be handed over to Changshengtian, no matter what the result is, you can't seek revenge afterwards!" ”
Xu Rui nodded: "Okay, let's start then!" ”
Hearing this, Mandu took off his cloak, put on his longbow, drew his polished saber, pulled the reins with his left hand, and made a slight effort with his right leg, and his huge body like a bear jumped on the war horse easily.
Seeing that Xu Rui did not move at all with one sword and one sword, Mandu frowned: "Master Hou, our grassland people have horse battles in duels, and there is no limit to bows and crossbows. ”
Xu Rui nodded: "I know, but I'm used to using a sword, so let's start like this." ”
When the grassland people saw that Xu Rui didn't take Mandu seriously, they were suddenly furious in their hearts.
Mandu snorted coldly and said, "Then don't you take off your big hat?" ”
Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, touched the soft big coat, shook his head and said, "No need, anyway, it's just a while of effort, how troublesome is it to take it off?" ”
Xu Rui's tone was as if he was talking about a pot of tea and a meal, rather than a life-and-death duel, making it clear that he looked down on Mandu.
Mandu was even more angry in his heart, and sneered: "Since this is the case, then Mandu is not welcome!" ”
Xu Rui nodded: "Come on, since it's a duel, what's polite?" ”
"Good, good!"
Mandu laughed angrily and said: "Immortal Heaven is above, today I will avenge Nu Sanha and hate for the Great Khan!" ”
After speaking, Mandu had a horse's belly with both legs, and slashed towards Xu Rui with a fierce momentum, but Xu Rui was still standing alone more than ten meters away with a sword, as if he was scared stupid.
"Hey, this Mandu is a famous warrior under Uliji, the big man is so big, be careful of accidents, we have to prepare early!"
In the Apocalypse Guard Formation, Lin Shaodong whispered to Cao Siyuan.
In his impression, although Xu Rui's martial arts are not weak, he is only five or five of Mandu with horses.
Cao Siyuan shook his head with a smile: "Don't worry, the handsome man is amazing." ”
As he spoke, he set his eyes on the field, and his heart gradually became excited.
Lin Shaodong didn't know where Cao Siyuan's confidence came from, and couldn't help but look at Xu Rui and was slightly stunned.
