Chapter 43: Scene 11
In the deafening cheers of the people, Chen Xiao's face sank in the box.
Chen Xiao's facial features can be regarded as handsome, but unfortunately the gloom under his eyes has not dissipated all year round, and the magnificent purple brocade clothes have been worn by him with a gloomy taste.
Tatsumi hates anyone who is better than him. In his heart, people like Gu Zhiyang, who have a humble status but are more talented than him, are unforgivable, not to mention the "sword intent" that Gu Zhiyang's last sword burst out of, something he has been asking for for many years.
He looked at the high-spirited black-clothed young man in the center of the arena, and sneered in his heart--is just a pariah, who sells his life to show people, does he really think he is a hero? Then teach him to recognize reality.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao squinted at the wall outside the box, waved his hand, and ordered the guards standing behind him: "Demolish it for me!"
......
Ten games have ended, and people have seen the "unexpected" results they were expecting, and they all got up and prepared to leave with satisfaction.
Lu Qiming looked at the two people next to him amusedly-neither of these two guys even realized that it was time to leave. Yao Chengxiang's family has been in business for generations, and he has long practiced the ability to see people and talk about ghosts, and Lu Ziqi has a lively temperament, even if Lu Qiming doesn't speak, she can happily talk for most of the day without pause. The two of them hit it off when they got together, and Lu Qiming in the middle of the interval could also be said to be in full swing, and he had the intention of seeing each other late.
Yao Chengxiang noticed Lu Qiming's gaze, stopped unsatisfied, looked around, patted his head a little embarrassedly, and asked, "Brother, where are you going next?"
Lu Qiming smiled and was about to speak, but suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked back at the box above.
Lu Ziqi followed his gaze and found that it was Chenxiao's box, and couldn't help asking, "Brother, is there anything wrong with Chenxiao?"
Yao Chengxiang had long heard them discuss this name, and couldn't help but be curious: "Who is Chen Jie?"
"It's the little young master of the Erchen family over there in Daqi. Lu Ziqi replied casually.
"Daqi?Chen Jia...... No, it's that 'Chen'?!" Yao Chengxiang muttered and repeated, the Chen family of the Great Qi Dynasty is a huge existence that can be compared to the Lu family, how can this brother and sister say it so lightly? Yao Chengxiang looked at Lu Qiming and the two in disbelief, and said in his heart: "Are these two 'middle two sick boys', or are they ...... What luck is I today?!"
Fortunately, he didn't really say this, otherwise if the word "middle two disease" was heard by the two of them, Lu Ziqi would definitely be able to catch him and talk for three days and three nights, maybe even Lu Qiming would be able to come over and say a few words......
At this moment, there was a "bang" in everyone's ears - I saw that the wooden wall of one of the boxes above suddenly loosened, and the broken wooden planks instantly smashed to the ground, startling the audience below to scatter and dodge.
The first reaction of the people was -- wasn't it? Somebody was fighting in the box?
The next moment, in the midst of everyone's jaw-dropping, a huge boxy treasure chariot rushed out of the box and rose into the air, bringing out a large shadow. Look closely, it turned out that there were four attendants, most of whom were carrying the four corners of the treasure, and on the treasure, there were three people, one man and two women!
Seeing Bao Yuan rushing towards the ground in the blink of an eye, the people with their faces on their backs reacted and scrambled to the side.
Bao Yuan did not care about the crowd, and after borrowing strength on the seat steps several times, he stopped smoothly in the center of the arena in front of Gu Zhiyang.
It was only then that people finally saw the appearance of the Venerable Master - a handsome young man dressed in purple sat in the center, and two charming maids kneeling on the left and right of the young man. A gray figure loomed behind the chariot, and no one knew when he appeared.
No one had ever seen such a scene, and for a time there was silence in the arena.
Yao Chengxiang's small eyes were wide open, and his mouth, which had always been able to speak, could not make a sound.
The corners of Lu Ziqi's mouth twitched, he was stunned for a long time, then turned his head and asked Lu Qiming, "Brother, is he sick?"
Lu Qiming rubbed his chin and said with a serious expression: "It's possible." After that, he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle: "I doubt now that he is Chen's wife." ”
He is naturally a Chen, and the symbol of the Chen family is more conspicuous than anything else. The audience who was about to leave also noticed this, and after a burst of excited whispering, a large number of people sat down again - it was important to watch the play.
The brown-clothed old man who was in charge of the arena had a green face, and he kept scolding in his heart, but he tried his best to squeeze out a smiling face, hurried to Bao Yuan's side, and said with a smile: "Chen Shao, if you have anything to need, let's discuss it." What are you?"
Chen Xiao didn't raise his eyelids, only stared at Gu Zhiyang and said lightly: "Young master, I'm not happy, you fight again." ”
Gu Zhiyang glanced at Chen Xiao expressionlessly, turned around and left without saying a word.
Chen Xiao was not surprised, he flicked his nails for a long time, and said arrogantly: "Don't worry, there are benefits for you." He pointed to the attendant carrying the treasure chariot and chuckled, "You compete with him, and if you win, you will be put in his place." Did you lose...... Let me think, so be it, how much the arena gives you today, I'll multiply it tenfold. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of discussion.
Yao Chengxiang summed up in a whisper: "People are stupid, but there is a lot of money. ”
Lu Qiming's smile was a little cold, and he said lightly: "It's not stupid." He wanted to abolish Gu Zhiyang. ”
Yao Chengxiang said strangely: "What do you say?" Lu Ziqi was also a little puzzled.
Lu Qiming picked up a teacup and said softly: "Whether it is voluntary or forced, as long as Gu Zhiyang agrees to his conditions, his state of mind will be damaged." Kendo cultivation is not so easy, as soon as the state of mind is broken, the sword intent will be nullified. "Unyielding and persistent, this is Gu Zhiyang's sword, and it is what Chen Xiao wants to force him to give up.
"Sword intent, no wonder it's ......" Lu Ziqi didn't have enough eyesight to see the mystery, but she obviously knew this kind of statement. She frowned and said, "But Gu Zhiyang definitely didn't know that there would be such serious consequences...... Brother, can't you make a move?"
Lu Qiming sighed and said, "You can do it later." But the choice, he had to come on his own. ”
......
Gu Zhiyang didn't hear Chen Xiao's words, and his footsteps kept walking outside.
Chen Xiao squinted, glanced at the main person in the arena, and let out a nasal "um".
The old man in brown weighed it in his heart, walked over quickly to intercept Gu Zhiyang, and said with a smile: "Xiao Gu, since Chen Shao said it, you can give face!" He lowered his voice and said: "It's a big deal, you just make a show, just lose to him." ”
Gu Zhiyang frowned and said, "This is not within the scope of the contract. ”
The brown-clothed old man glanced back at Chen Xiao, his heart was irritable, and he lowered his voice and said, "You have nothing to lose! That's someone from the Chen family, think about it!"
Gu Zhiyang only looked at him coldly, "Get out of the way." ”
The old man in brown had anger on his face, and snorted coldly: "If you don't fight this one, you don't want today's money!"
Gu Zhiyang's hand holding the sword tightened and loosened, and he pushed the old man in brown away with one hand and was about to go down.
The old man in brown staggered, his face showed ruthlessness, and he loudly ordered the guards in the arena: "Stop him!"
He looked at Chen's face that was gradually losing patience, smiled darkly, leaned over and whispered a few words.
Chen Xiao listened, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he clapped his hands and said, "I didn't see it, you are still 'chivalrous and soft'!" He stared at Gu Zhiyang's face with interest, and said leisurely: "If you have to leave, I won't stop you." However, I've been short of slaves lately...... I'll help you get the kids you have -- what do you think?"
Gu Zhiyang's face changed greatly, and his eyes stared at Chen Xiao's smug face like electricity.
Chen Xiao deliberately said this loudly, and everyone in the arena heard it clearly.
"Bastard!" Lu Ziqi said in a low voice.
"His grandmother's," Yao Chengxiang muttered, "this kid is enough to be yin!"
Lu Qiming rubbed the teacup in his right hand and said calmly: "Ready to do it." ”
Lu Ziqi's eyes lit up, and his slender little hand immediately grasped the hilt of the accessory at his waist.
"Isn't it, is it?" Yao Chengxiang's white and fat face couldn't help but tremble.
Everyone was waiting for Gu Zhiyang's reaction.
Gu Zhiyang took a deep breath, and the hand holding the sword trembled hard. After a while, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the venue. His eyes were fixed on the ground, and he walked forward step by step with a blank face.
The corners of Chen's mouth hooked up a smile of victory, and the smile quickly expanded, and for a while, only his piercing laughter echoed in the arena.
In the midst of everyone's regretful or sympathetic or disdainful gaze, Gu Zhiyang dragged the heavy sword to stand still under Chen Xiao's treasure, looking at him silently, and the next moment, the one-man high black heavy sword was raised high without warning, and in everyone's incredulous gaze, it slashed towards Chen Xiao without a trace of hesitation!
"Don't you want to watch the eleventh scene?" Gu Zhiyang shouted: "I'll show you!"
