244 bets
The room was quiet for a while, and the people inside were a little embarrassed. The first to break the silence was Smith, who said to Gong Xichu, "This warrior, you were awesome, but I didn't pay attention. If we were fair, you wouldn't be my opponent.β
Gong Xichu looked at Hua Ronghua, who was frowning, "What did he say?" "I just didn't say anything good when I saw the Rakshasa ghost.
Hua Ronghua hesitated to tell the truth.
"Say!" Gongxi Chu looked at her, and her bandaged arm shook and withdrew from Hua Ronghua's hand, frowning and looking at her with a fierce expression, "You tell me the truth." β
"Just say it!" Hua Ronghua snorted coldly, "He said that you were a sneak attack just now, if you compete head-on, he must be better than you!" β
"Who does he say is better than whom?" Gong Xichu's voice was raised suddenly, and the person also stood up, his eyes burning with fierce battle intent and looking directly at Smith.
Smith smiled and stood up as well, "How do?" Do you want to fight me? Well, I accept your challenge.β
Gong Xichu didn't know what he was talking about, so he didn't bother to ask, so he only sneered at him and said, "Rakshasa ghost come here, see how grandpa cuts you!" β
Seeing the stalemate between the two, the prince shouted with some concern, "General Gongxi......"
"Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates are measured." Gongxi Chu responded to the prince, and raised his hand to attack.
βStop!β Smith suddenly stopped, if it weren't for Gongxi Chu's profound skills, this punch would have almost hit him in the face.
Gong Xichu almost choked on a mouthful of blood, and he looked at Smith provocatively, "What? Are you scared? β
Smith was really taken aback just now, this man's speed is too fast, but let him bow his head in front of other men? His self-esteem made him straighten his waist.
βThis warrior, we can't do this, right? Isn't there a reward?β Smith glanced at Hua Ronghua and motioned for her to help him translate.
Hua Ronghua frowned, and told him in the end under the urging of Gongxi Chu.
"Bets? What do you want to bet on? The more Gongxi Chu looked at Smith, the more unpleasant he became, and he was thinking about what strength he would master for a while that would not break people and make his own breath, but he saw that Rakshasa ghost actually pointed his finger at Hua Ronghua.
What did he mean at this point? Gongxi Chu was stunned and even forgot to speak.
Hua Ronghua's face burned suddenly, and he glared at Smith, "What do you mean, count Smith?" Are you insulting me?β
βNo, not an insult, I like you! And this man is too rude for you.β Smith shook his hands again and again, and confessed to Hua Ronghua with a sincere face.
Gong Xichu also reacted at this time, and suddenly became angry, and dragged the woman who still wanted to argue with Smith back, and met Smith with a somewhat anxious look, "Rakshasa ghost, you dare to hit my woman's idea?" β
Smith didn't understand what Gong Xichu was talking about, but he saw Hua Ronghua's actions clearly, and couldn't help but continue: "If I win, your woman it's mine; If you win, it's yours.β As he spoke, he took the musket out of his bosom again.
Hua Rong's pretty face flushed, and he burst out: "It's too much for you to put me and the gun together, Smith."
Gong Xichu didn't understand the language, but it didn't prevent him from understanding what Smith meant, his eyes looked directly at those blue eyes, as if they were bursting out of a spark, and sneered: "Do you want to compare?" Okay, I'll be with you to the end! As he spoke, he clasped his hands into fists and made a gesture of please.
Although Smith was apprehensive about Gong Xichu's speed and strength, this competition was brought up by him after all, and he didn't believe that he would lose if he went all out!
The two got up and went to the outside of the side hall and each opened their positions.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more stiff, the prince and the others couldn't help but ask Hua Ronghua, "What's wrong?" β
Hua Ronghua couldn't say a word at this time, and he turned a deaf ear to the prince's inquiry.
"General Gongxi, what the hell is going on?" The prince got up and called Gong Xichu, who was about to go out.
Hearing the prince call himself, Gong Xichu's sanity finally returned a little, he stopped and arched his hand at the prince, "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will be in control." As for what was going on, he didn't want to open his mouth at all.
Smith and Gong Xichu opened a posture outside, and the prince and others went out of the side hall to watch. Compared with the half-ignorance of the prince and others, those Fanbang people were much more lively, and kept cheering for Smith, they knew what Smith said, and their ambiguous eyes kept sweeping to Hua Ronghua, who also came out to watch the battle.
I don't know if it was because of the support of his companions, Smith's confidence greatly increased, he raised his hands to signal his companions to be quiet, and then looked at Hua Ronghua with a pair of blue eyes, "I will fight for you now, won't you cheer me on?" My dear.β
βDon't call me that. You make me sick.β Hua Ronghua didn't show him mercy at all.
Smith was stunned, as if he didn't expect Hua Ronghua to say this about himself, he was stunned for a moment before he said, "Honey, don't say that. You'll fall in love with me when you meet my braveness.β
If Smith had just made such a bet and had two jokes, he would have been a little more serious now. He didn't believe that he had failed here because he had always been invincible among women!
Gong Xichu didn't move, and watched coldly at the Rakshasa ghost-like man talking to his woman.
Finally, the two seemed to be finished, only to see the blonde Smith press his waist, and then roared, and pounced towards Gong Xichu, with his hands wide open, seeing that he meant to knock Gong Xichu down.
Gongxi Chu has long been holding his breath, where will he let him hold it? A dry land onion, with his left foot on Smith's right shoulder, and another harrier turned over and stood behind Smith.
"Good!" There were a few guards around who couldn't help but shout hello when they saw Gong Xichu's beautiful figure.
Even the crown prince nodded faintly, thinking secretly, he is worthy of being a personal disciple of Yuan Shuai who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and this calm bearing is not comparable to ordinary people.
It was not the first time Hua Ronghua had seen Gongxi Chu make a move, such as killing the assassin in Anping County, and kicking Aunt Wang, although it was also very powerful, but she had never looked so good, she unconsciously widened her eyes and looked at the man who was becoming more and more eye-catching in the field.
Smith almost used all his strength to hug Gong Xichu, but he didn't want to suddenly lose the target in front of him, he didn't regain his strength in time and almost fell, and rushed forward five or six steps before he stood firm, and looked back at the man who sneered at him with a surprised face, "Why are you there?" What did you do?β
Gong Xichu didn't know what he was talking about, so he only sneered: "Do you want to admit defeat?" β
Hua Ronghua kindly explained on the side.
Smith jumped up as if he had been stung by a scorpion, "Throw in the towel?" Are you kidding?β He directly replaced the answer with action, his waist sank, his shoulders and elbows were closed, and he punched Gongxi Chu in the chest.
This time, Smith's eyes were wide open, for fear of suddenly losing his goal again, but this time Gong Xichu stood still and did not move, seeing that Smith's huge fist was about to hit him in the chest, but he still did not move.
Smith couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, he still knew the weight of his fist, as long as he smashed it on the man's chest, at least he could knock him down, and then he would make up for it again, and the victory would be his own.
But to Smith's surprise, when his fist hit Gong Xichu's chest, he suddenly found that the target he was going to attack in front of him was disappearing, yes, it was disappearing. Because no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hit it, and his fist was going through his body. Gong Xichu, who was still standing in front of him just now, came to his side in a blink of an eye, and reached out and grabbed the arm of his attack.
Gong Xichu didn't take Smith's attack seriously at all, he used his heel as the axis, dodged Smith's attack on the side of his body, and grabbed his arm and pushed forward with his strength to widen the distance between himself and the Rakshasa Ghost again. In fact, if he wanted to pull the arm of the Fanbang man and turn it a few times before throwing it out, then the competition would be won, but there was no guarantee that the Fanbang man would be able to live.
If it weren't for the fear that the prince would be angry, he would have done this a long time ago, Rao is like this, Gong Xichu is not light, Smith grabbed seven or eight steps forward and fell to the ground, or he blocked it with his arm to avoid landing on his face, otherwise he might have broken his phase.
βWhat about you, count?β Richard went over and helped Smith up, and when he saw that there was no major problem except for some abrasions on his arm, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and glared at Gong Xichu angrily, "What the hell did you do?" Several companions behind him also glared angrily at Gongxi Chu.
βIt's just a test. Why? Want to turn your face when you lose?β Seeing this, Hua Ronghua went back directly, and I have to say that Gong Xichu's fall just now made her heart very happy. Didn't you bet on me? You deserve to be a pig's head!
Gong Xichu fell down Smith was originally a little more comfortable, but when he heard Hua Ronghua talking to these Rakshasa ghosts again, he suddenly became unhappy again, and glared at her, "You leave me aside, this is a man's business!" β
Hua Ronghua couldn't help it, and yelled, "I'm talking for you!" β
"I'm a dignified man and still need your help? Let me in! Gong Xichu frowned and was slightly impatient.
The prince cleared his throat and asked with a smile: "General Gongxi, the competition is over, right?" β
Gong Xichu suppressed his desire to kick Smith a few more times, nodded, and looked at the Fanbang people who had just come to their senses.
Smith's loss is not small, but he also knows that it will be difficult for him to defeat Gongxi Chu. Although he was very uncomfortable with his failure, he still accepted it calmly, "I lost, you are a magical person, are you a sorcerer?" How did you do that?β
"He asked if you had just dropped him if he used a spell." Without waiting to ask, Hua Ronghua translated directly.
"This is martial arts, and this Fanbang person is really ignorant." Gong Xichu snorted disdainfully.
Smith looked at Hua Ronghua, although he was unwilling, Hua Ronghua still prepared a translation for him.
βMartial arts? It's amazing. Can you teach me?β Smith makes no secret of his love for martial arts.
Hua Ronghua had an idea and said to the prince: "Your Highness, Smith wants to learn martial arts, so it's better to take this opportunity to change a few more muskets!" β
"Okay, as long as he agrees, this king can call the shots and let the commander of the Ouchi guards teach him martial arts!" The prince promised.
When Smith heard that it was not Gongxi Chu who taught him, he was a little reluctant, but when he saw the wonderful martial arts demonstrated by the commander of the guards, he was obsessed, and immediately nodded in agreement, after all, he was still a little uncomfortable in the face of Gongxi Chu who injured him.
The musket trade was easily successful in such an atmosphere, and the prince exchanged a total of five delicate jade objects for fifteen long muskets.
