Chapter 53: Buying the host
On the day of the boxing match, Jiang Feng and Hong Zhennan rushed to the arena in a Mercedes-Benz 220.
In the car, Jiang Feng said to Hong Zhennan seriously: "Master, I received news that the British are not holding this boxing match to sell tickets for profit, nor to promote Western boxing, their fighters will provoke our people before the start of the game, forcing our martial artists to fight with them. ”
Hong Zhennan looked at Jiang Feng in disbelief: "Are you serious? Where did you get the news? ”
Jiang Feng shook his head: "Master, don't care where I got the news from, I can guarantee that this matter is true." ”
Hong Zhennan shook his head and said in disbelief: "Why did they do this? What's in it for them? They think I'm a vegetarian in Chinese martial arts? So easy to beat? ”
Jiang Feng explained: "The fighter they invited this time is a well-known heavyweight boxer Tornado in the West, this person has almost never been defeated since his debut, and he is a very powerful boxer. ”
"Of course, they are not afraid of the failure of the plan, because our victory will not cause them anything, on the contrary, if they win, they will break the solid position of the Eastern martial arts in the minds of the people, and at that time, the role of the martial arts hall will be greatly reduced."
Hong Zhennan frowned and was silent, Jiang Feng knew that it was difficult to win Hong Zhennan's trust just by saying it by himself.
It's not that Hong Zhennan can't believe Jiang Feng, it's just that because the stakes are high, he must be cautious, Hong Zhennan thought to himself: Of course 'DuPont' is credible, but he is still young, what if he is deceived?
Jiang Feng knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he retreated and said: "Master might as well stand by and watch, if a Western boxer competes in a proper manner, I didn't say these words, and the Western boxer provoked our disciple before the competition, and asked the master to make a decision early." ”
Hong Zhennan nodded, he is not a soft person who is bullied, if the Western boxer really has a provocative behavior before the match, I am afraid that things are really as 'Dupont' said, and at that time, he will never settle down.
The vehicle stopped outside the arena, and Hong Zhennan turned around the Hongmen disciples who were waiting at the scene, and the group of mermaids rushed in.
Jiang Feng didn't follow Hong Zhennan, he left the army alone and quietly entered the backstage of the arena.
What is he doing backstage?
Find a boxing host.
……
About half an hour, Jiang Feng came to Hong Zhennan's side with a smile on his face, and at this time, it was the turn of the Hongmen disciples to perform martial arts on stage.
In the foreigner seating area, the Western boxer Tornado looked at the Chinese who were "hey, hey" in the ring, and asked the ghost-headed superintendent with a mocking face: "Show is performing, what are they shouting?" ”
Superintendent Ghost Head said: "They are performing Chinese martial arts, and the Chinese believe that 'shouting' will make them more powerful." ”
"Strength?" The Western boxer said with a disdainful expression: "Really? Shall I go and give them a reason to scream? ”
Superintendent Ghost Head laughed and said in understanding: "Go ahead!" ”
Tornado laughed and strode towards the ring.
The host saw the tornado coming on the field, and secretly skimmed Jiang Feng, who was sitting next to Hong Zhennan.
Jiang Feng nodded at the host, the host picked up the microphone and explained: "The boxing king has come to the stage, he seems to be very interested in Chinese martial arts!" ”
Tornado circled around the performers, and finally stopped in front of Aki, who was the leader.
Aki and the others just finished their performances, got up and hugged their fists to the audience, and the tornado showed his chest and said, "Hit me, hit here!" ”
Tornado spoke in English, which Aki didn't understand at all, and he guessed from Tornado's gesture that the other party was asking him to punch.
Aki quickly unleashed a straight punch, but he didn't hit Tornado, his fist stopped half a centimeter in Tornado's chest.
Tornado grabbed Aki's arm, pulled Aki's fist and hit him twice in the chest, and said viciously, "Hit hard!" ”
Aki threw another punch, and the tornado directly pushed his chest forward, slamming into Aki's fist, Aki was caught off guard for a while, but was shocked and took half a step back.
Tornado looked at Aki with a sneer: "Hard, hard, haven't you eaten?" ”
Although Aki didn't understand what Tornado said, he understood Tornado's mocking expression, and just as he was about to attack Tornado with all his might, Tornado took him by surprise and punched Aki in the face, and Aki was directly knocked to the ground.
Hong Zhennan stood up suddenly, lifted himself and walked to the ring. Jiang Feng grabbed Hong Zhennan's arm: "Master, calm down, you are the leader of a while, you are the leader of the Hong Kong martial arts world, don't fall into the trap of foreigners." ”
Hong Zhennan had already believed what Jiang Feng said before at this time, he nodded at Jiang Feng and strode into the ring.
Just as Jiang Feng and Hong Zhennan were talking, the others in the ring were knocked down by the tornado one after another, and Huang Liang rushed behind the tornado, wanting to give the tornado a hard blow, but he didn't talk about being detected by the tornado, and he was knocked to the ground by the tornado.
As soon as Ip Man saw that his lover was injured, he immediately rushed to the ring and fought with the tornado.
After everyone stopped, Hong Zhennan demanded an apology from Tornado.
Tornado said arrogantly: "Then there is a reason for the winner to apologize to the loser, if you can beat me, I will apologize to you." ”
In the original play, the reason why Hong Zhennan competed with Tornado had a lot to do with the host's translation.
The host in the original play translates it like this: "He said that if Master Hong beat him, he would apologize." ”
In this way, Hong Zhennan was forced to the edge of the cliff, can he retreat?
No!
For Hong Zhennan, there is no difference between retreat and defeat, and it is even more humiliating than defeat, so he chose to fight, so he died in the ring.
What now?
The current host, who has been bribed by Jiang Feng for 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, translated: "Tornado said that if any of you defeat him, he will apologize." ”
In the eyes of foreigners, although the host's translation is not accurate, there is nothing wrong with it, but for Hong Zhennan, it is very different, at least, the other party did not nominate the surname of Hong Zhennan to play, so that Jiang Feng's previous arrangements have room for maneuver.
Hong Zhennan was just about to agree to fight, Jiang Feng stretched out his hand and pulled him, and said in a low voice: "Master, you are the leader of a while, representing the face of the Hong Kong martial arts community, it is good to say if you win, once you lose, there is no room for maneuver." ”
Hong Zhennan said angrily: "What do you say, we can't watch foreign devils shouting, right?" ”
Jiang Feng replied in a normal voice: "First ask Master Ye to compete with him, if Master Ye wins, of course it is the best, if Master Ye can't win, it will not be too late to go up, at that time, Master at least understands the boxing techniques of foreign devils, so that it can increase a lot of chances of winning." ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Feng set his eyes on Ip Man who was not far away.
Ye Man was only two meters away from Jiang Feng, so he naturally heard Jiang Feng's words, he nodded at Jiang Feng, stepped forward and stood in front of the tornado, hugged his fists and said: "Ye is not talented, I am willing to teach Your Excellency a high move." ”
