Chapter 42: Liu'an Contest (Chapter 2-in-1)
Since Ji Xinyuan crossed over, he had seen such a real and ordinary Three Kingdoms, which inevitably made him feel a little disappointed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
'Guan Yu said that he would ride alone for thousands of miles, and what about Lu Bu in the three battles? Why did you start a war, but you stabbed me and I blocked, and if you couldn't stop it, you immediately hung up? ā
Those so-called heroes of the world are dominating on the battlefield and fighting against a hundred, which is unrealistic for real life.
But Ji Xinyuan still had a trace of wonderful illusions about the martial arts of the ancients in his heart, so he wanted to witness the truth with his own eyes.
The ring of the competition was set up in the center of Lu'an City, a round ring stood there, and a stone audience platform about two meters high was built around it.
And this ring, together with the audience stand, although it is made of local materials, after three or two days of construction, the scale is about the same size as a football field. The round ring and the circular audience stage have the taste of a small ancient Roman gladiatorial arena.
Although the original citizens have been evacuated, the new sergeants are enough to create a lively atmosphere in Lu'an City.
On this day, the audience was 'full', and in the midst of the uproar, on the ring, Ji Xinyuan sat on the judges' bench spliced by several wooden tables, looking at this grand occasion created by himself with a satisfied face.
In addition to Ji Xinyuan and Xun Yu, there were also Cao Cao's two sons, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, who were now about twelve or thirteen years old, and they also cheered with the sergeants.
"Good show...... The show is about to begin! ā
The children who grew up in the palace have some violent elements in their hearts, and since they were young, they have seen the adults fighting for power, and their heads are bleeding, coupled with the strict education of a sinister and vicious person like their father Cao Cao, although the two are brothers, they have already rehearsed countless times in their hearts to get rid of each other.
Xun Yu is the teacher of the two 'former sons'. The two students he taught were only regarded as service objects at work, and he never invested in any real teacher-student feelings.
Now Cao Cao is imprisoned in the 'Bird's Prison', the 'Cao family' has existed in name only, and Cao Cao's family is locked up in the palace and kept in captivity, which is not much different from the caged bird. Xun Yu didn't even bother to teach the two of them.
But today, the two 'sons' were not only brought to the judges' seat, but Ji Xinyuan's thief Mimi's eyes always glanced at them secretly, and he didn't know what the hell was going on in his heart.
'You can't do this harm.' ā
Xun Yu broke out in a cold sweat, even if these two sons surnamed 'Cao' have a big contradiction with you Ji Xinyuan, don't do anything to other people's children!
Ji Xinyuan peeked at the child, Xun Yu peeked at Ji Xinyuan, this came and went, the two pairs of little eyes met together, Xun Yu of course immediately showed a scared look, but this Ji Xinyuan was obviously found out about his obscene behavior, but he was not ashamed at all, but smiled at Xun Yu gloomily.
Immediately, he propped himself on the wooden table with one hand and stood up sensitively, and the noisy sergeants were also silent at this time, and the entire martial arts arena was silent for a moment.
I saw Ji Xinyuan clear his throat, looked around, and saw that the sergeants everywhere he looked were afraid and timid, so he cleared his throat with satisfaction.
He raised his voice and shrieked:
"The gladiatorial tournament begins now!"
The scene was in an uproar again, and the noise one after another suddenly made the entire Lu'an City impetuous.
"What gladiatorial tournament? Isn't it a jousting tournament?"
"What does gladiatorial mean? What new ideas does this prime minister have? ā
As everyone knows, this gladiatorial fight is also a 'foreign word' only known to the traveler, although China has had some communication with Europe at this time, but the spread and exchange of culture is far from being popularized to these ordinary people.
Gladiatorial fighting is a 'fighting game', which is very different from the 'play-house' rule of 'friendship first, competition second' in the jousting competition.
The most striking example of 'gladiatorial fighting' is the colosseum in ancient Rome. The Colosseum is a symbol of ancient Rome, and the Roman emperor forced 80,000 Jewish captives to do hard labor in eight years! Most of the 'gladiators' who participated in the gladiatorial fights were Jewish captives.
Today, under Ji Xinyuan's careful arrangement, the participants in this competition are all the 'captives' captured after his successful usurpation of power.
Everyone was wondering what a 'gladiatorial fight' was, but they were also attracted by the new scene in the ring.
After beating the drums three times, the two 'big men' violently lifted the curtain on the other side of the ring and walked out of the closed thatched hut on the right side of the ring.
Of these two people, one is General Cao Hong, who survived the Battle of Guandu.
Cao Hong's unkempt face was unkempt and eclectic, his lips were slightly upturned, and when he blew it out in one breath, countless dandruff flew out of his messy hair.
The dandruff was fluttering, like a blooming ceremonial tube, scattered on the ring that walked by, creating a 'star' posture for his appearance.
Cao Hong holds a long sword, it seems that his martial arts moves should also be as deep as his 'coin loading' skills, how can the naked eye easily see through it!
And the other person is the 'Yellow Beard' Cao Zhang, surprisingly, he actually grew a long natural yellow beard, quite a 'lion and tiger look'.
And what's even more incredible is that this beard that only an adult man should have has grown on the face of a 12-year-old boy!
I don't know what this Cao Zhang grew up eating, he looks much more mature than his two brothers of the same age, and he is about 1.6 meters tall. And Cao Zhang has been good at volleys since he was a child, so today, the weapon he brought is a bow and arrow.
The simple appearance of the two gladiators in this way inevitably disappointed the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time, it turned out that they had forgotten Ji Xinyuan's teachings, Ji Xinyuan looked at him, and the two immediately understood.
Then he opened his arms and waved them swaggeringly, and his mouth and eyes smiled at the same time.
And this laughter, which is crowded among the eggs and vegetables thrown by the enthusiastic spectators, is actually a fake smile.
The rule of gladiatorial combat is to use all means to bring the opponent to death, until the scene is bloody and the end is over.
This season's heart is clearly to send the two of them to death together, but the official rank of 'prime minister' is high, and the two have to do it.
Fortunately, although both sides of this gladiatorial fight are dead, there will be a victorious side! In this way, there is still hope to live - to defeat the other party.
For this act of 'sending to death', the two of them felt a little better in their hearts.
Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were shocked when they saw that their brother was going to participate in this competition, and then they were secretly happy in their hearts.
After the two gladiators stood their respective positions, in the east direction of the spectator stand, there were Ji Xinyuan's newly appointed generals.
And these generals are the 'silent men' they have seen in the 'Bird's Prison', and at this time a killing feast is about to be staged, and their hearts are surging, and their mouths seem to be unable to control it.
"Do you want to fight or not? Why are you still stupid! ā
"That's it! Hurry up! ā
Then the other soldiers followed suit.
I saw two gladiators, standing motionless in the ring,
The two eyes stared at each other, full of murderous aura.
Don't look at the 'Yellow Whisker' Although he is young, his sharpness is not lost to Cao Hong, his legs are slightly bent, his horse is firmly tied, one hand is holding the belt of his trousers, and the other hand is tightly attached to the side of the body.
But there are bows, but there are no arrows! This yellow-haired boy only wears a cloth coat all over his body, with his arms exposed, and he doesn't see him carrying a shear bag?
Ji Xinyuan, who was lying on the judges' seat, pursed his lips and snickered at this moment - it turned out that in order to see this child killed by his uncle with his own hands, he only prepared a bow for him without an arrow!
'On weekdays, I heard that Cao Cao's sons are all talented, which is considered their father's genes, right? Today I want to see how this genius died! How did Zhongyong get hurt! ā
Looking at the ring again, Cao Hong seemed to be in a hurry, blowing his beard at Cao Zhang, glaring at him, the long sword in his hand was constantly stroked by him with his huge palm, Cao Zhang seemed to be able to rush forward at any time, and gave a fatal blow to his nephew!
"Uncle Hong! Aren't we dishonoring our father by doing so? Do you lose the face of the Cao family? ā
The yellow-haired child asked, as if he wanted to shake hands and make peace, but at this moment everyone knew in their hearts:
After stepping into the ring prepared by Ji Xinyuan, there is no way back!
Cao Zhang's question was in line with Ji Xinyuan's intentions, and he explained the reason why he arranged the two of them like this.
If you want to say that all the Great Wei rivers and mountains belong to you, why do you keep these family members of Cao Cao? Raising tigers?
It turned out that Ji Xinyuan's humiliation of Cao Cao in Yanque Prison was not hearty enough! Now, it is even more necessary for the Cao family to kill each other!
"Nephew...... Hugh blames his uncle...... Now the world has changed......"
'The way of the world has changed, who will you scold?' Isn't this world good now? ā
Cao Hong looked at Ji Xinyuan timidly, and saw that he was not angry, so he continued:
"What uncle can do is only tell you one truth - no matter who lives or dies today, in the days to come, we have to recognize Prime Minister Ji as our father!"
Cao Hong arrived at this critical juncture, and he did not forget to 'fake benevolence and righteousness', he is a big man, leading troops to fight for many years, how could he lose to a 'yellow-headed child'?
"Whew! Hypocrisy, hypocrisy, what hypocrisy adults are! Even if I die, I won't recognize that villain as my father! ā
Cao Zhang spat on the ground with a mouthful of spittle, and this disrespectful act of disrespecting the elders instantly angered Cao Hong.
As soon as Cao Zhang's words fell, Cao Hong lifted the long sword with both hands and rushed towards Cao Zhang.
"Bang!"
A dull blow sounded that was only possible with the collision of heavy metals.
When the sergeants saw the scene in the ring, they were first surprised and delighted, and then frowned.
Seeing a sharp flash, Cao Zhang dodged the blow that rushed straight forward with his agile body.
But the stabbing of the long sword was continuous, Cao Hong saw that the attack failed, and he did not hesitate, with a slight force on both hands, he successfully corrected the direction, and the sword slashed horizontally towards Cao Zhang.
And the sound of metal colliding was made by the longbow blocking the long sword.
Loud noises of wood against iron? Only those who are born with divine power can do it!
The two froze in place, and Cao Hong's hand holding the long sword was a little numb.
And as Cao Zhang's resistance increased, the long sword even fell to the ground coldly!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ā
The fearful appearance of the defenseless Cao Hong caught the eyes of the audience for a while, and everyone at the station was stunned.
It seemed that the war had come to an end, and Cao Hong never thought that he would lose to a yellow-headed boy. As everyone knows, Cao Zhang has been good at archery and driving since he was a child, and his arm strength is outstanding, and he can even fight with fierce beasts with his bare hands! 'Tiger father has no dog son', as Cao Cao's proudest son, Cao Zhang's name is not deserved.
But......
"That's it?"
This game of power and power is so easy to divide the winner and loser, it's too simple and hasty!
And such a gladiatorial battle is obviously not exciting enough in the eyes of the long-awaited sergeants.
Especially in the eyes of his 'weird old man' Ji Xinyuan, he specially held this competition with a warm fantasy of 'Chinese martial arts'!
That's it! Ugly people do a lot of weirdness, and the aura flashed on Ji Xinyuan's bald head, and he thought of a new trick.
Ji Xinyuan stood up in a high-profile manner and made a 'throat cut' gesture to Cao Zhang in the ring, while the other soldiers in the stands also shouted in unison:
"Kill him! Kill him! ā
At the same time, a pair of hands were raised high to beat the beat, and the shout was extremely cold, as if Cao Hong's life was regarded as a mustard.
The long sword was knocked to the ground, and Cao Zhang's divine power also knocked Cao Hong to the ground.
Cao Hong barely supported himself on the ground with his hands, although he was defeated at the moment, it seemed from his eyes that he still had a glimmer of hope for survival.
This kid shouldn't be able to do anything...... He should not see blood......
And Cao Hong's thoughts, in the hearts of all the soldiers, are equally reasonable.
However......
In the midst of everyone's incredulous gaze......
The wooden bow was still deeply inserted into Cao Hong's neck.
Blood......
Blood trickled out from his throat, first dyeing the white robe that Cao Hong was wearing bright red, and then spreading radially from the center to the walls around the ring, and under Ji Xinyuan's clogs.
Suddenly, the air was filled with the smell of blood and desire.
Cao Zhanggao raised his right hand to make a victory gesture, the battle related to life and death had already made his blood boil, and now he was intoxicated with applause and cheers!
"He's moving! He can still move! ā
Cao Hong in the ring seemed to have a breath left, struggling to move, he held the longbow with his hand in pain, but his weak strength could not pull the longbow out.
He tried to cover the wound with his hand again, but the longbow's stab was too wide, and the neck had become a huge hole, and he couldn't stop the great bleeding.
His face was already white as paper, and a pair of lifeless eyes looked at his 12-year-old nephew with incredible eyes......
"Kill him! Kill him! ā
At this time, Cao Hong was already dying, and the soldiers were still instigating Cao Zhang, just to let the former general end his only little painful life earlier.
Is it because Cao Hong is greedy for money, is it because he has this little flaw in his personality that you have to gloat so much? ā
Of course not! In the air condensed by blood and iron, every hot-blooded young man will be excited!
Stimulated by these agitating words, Cao Zhang did not hesitate to squat down and use his powerful arm to clench the wooden bow inserted in Cao Hong's throat again......!
āā¦ā¦ā
For Cao Zhang, it was just a slight twist, but it ......
Flesh and blood splattered......
The scene was inhumane.
ā¦ā¦
"Good! All right! ā
And the stands burst out with thunderous shouts and applause!
Then, striking while the iron was hot, Cao Zhang even pulled the bloody longbow out of the corpse!
Hold high in the air and show off your achievements!
And the blood slowly fell to the ground along the bowstring, drop by drop. From the black color of the light, it gradually spreads out on the ground to blood red.
Cao Zhang's cloth coat was also stained with blood......
In the eyes of the warriors, there is only blood at this moment......
At this moment, Cao Zhi and Cao Pi on the judges' bench shuddered and fidgeted when they saw that their brother was such a man-eating beast.
"What!"
The two brothers were lifted up by Ji Xinyuan with their clothes, half-hanging in the air - as if watching this exciting killing feast, even Ji Xinyuan, a middle-aged man in his 40s, regained the strong body of his youth, and his strength was incomparable, enough to lift dozens of catties of 'goods'!
The two teenagers kept struggling in the air, shaking their little feet, and the placket of their clothes was lifted by Ji Xinyuan, and they were also rudely tightening their necks.
The pain between the two seemed not to be fierce enough, and then they heard the demon's loud roar:
"Tell me, you brother deserves to die!"
āā¦ā¦ļ¼ā
"Isn't Cao Chang victorious? How can there be such a thing as killing the winner? ā
For a while, the sergeants had a heated discussion again, staring at each other with wide eyes, and they were very puzzled by Ji Xinyuan's statement, but it seemed that deep in their hearts, it would not hurt to die another person in the ring!
The Cao brothers were suspended in the air by Ji Xinyuan's hand like this, not to mention the pain, their throats and eyes seemed to be blocked, and they couldn't answer at all.
At this time, Xun Yu on the side couldn't sit still, and pulled the pants of a 'child' with one hand, wanting to pull them down, but he didn't dare to use force, and this force would face the devil's eyes again.
At this anxious moment, Ji Xinyuan burst out laughing! Immediately put down the two 'sons' and touched their little heads with an extremely bad nature!
The most vicious person is to stab you and persuade you to go to the hospital! ā
I saw him say:
"There is no result in such a noisy discussion, I'll teach you a method!"
He said coldly while gesturing:
"Everyone! Thumbs up! ā
"Whoa...... Rushing! ā
It was not easy for the sergeants standing in a crowd to reach out their hands, and the grinding of armor against each other made such a screeching sound.
"If the thumbs up, then Cao Zhanghuo! Thumbs down, then Cao Zhang is dead! ā
"Why!"
Xun Yu asked accidentally.
"Because of you Cao family people! TM is my Ji Xinyuan's captive! It's the dog I fed! ā
āā¦ā¦ā
His heart shook violently...... Everyone's hearts were shaken by the words of the devil...... However, something seems to have changed......
The reason why they trembled was because Ji Xinyuan's speech was too enthusiastic, too inspirational, and too charming!
ā¦ā¦
The martial arts competition arranged by Ji Xinyuan successfully made this group of soldiers living in the ancient oriental culture experience the fun of Western civilization that is 'more humane than the East'.
A society full of humanity? Everyone present couldn't see this, and now, what they were in, and what Ji Xinyuan showed them, was just a culture that took naked sensual desire and sensory stimulation as fun!
In this ring, under the grandstand that resembled the gladiatorial arena of ancient Rome, Cao Hong and Cao Zhang could not even put on the shining armor, but only wore a tattered cloth gown, and used an inconspicuous long sword and wooden bow to put on an 'exciting' performance for the vast number of soldiers.
Unlike those soldiers who are golden and iron horses on the battlefield, the two of them have no lofty ambition to charge into battle, no lofty ideals of making contributions, and only a trace of pitiful illusions of survival.
In the stands, those who instigated the two of them to "Kill quickly!" "Hurry up!" 's hateful face, no matter where or at what time, will always be stinky in the long river of history for 10,000 years!
And now...... Cao Zhang's life......
It's only between the thumbs up.
Stretch out your thumbs to give Cao Zhang honor and survival! Or......
Thumbs down to execute Cao Zhang...... in public!
In a thought.
A mustard-like life, just in between.
ā¦ā¦
Among the rows of thumbs up downwards were the sergeants, as well as those of Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, who, under the terror of the demons, decided to put their brothers to death.
And Xun Yu also gave a thumbs down, because in his heart, everything was already lost......
'It's over...... Finished...... This is a demon, I'm afraid that the big man will be spoiled by him sooner or later...... Still is...... It's important to save your life......'
However, in the ranks where the general stood, there was a man with a thumb raised, raised horizontally.
He didn't want Cao Zhang to die! I don't want to make any boasts about this disgraceful 'homicide' child!
And this infuriating discordant scene immediately caught Ji Xinyuan's eyes!
"Grass!"
ā¦ā¦
