Chapter 236: Angering Qin Bao
readx;? There is a fairly large martial arts training ground in the second courtyard of the border guard house, there is no too special arrangement here, the loess paving has no walls on all sides, there is not even a brick on the ground, there are some weapon racks and stone locks scattered in the middle of the martial arts field, this is the place where the north border guards practice on weekdays, and some private competitions that will be held occasionally in the border guard house are also carried out in this place.

Du Du Xichen is a very character person, he has never come forward to mediate the contradictions between his subordinates, and the solution to the problem has always been only one word: fight!
Those who win are justified, and those who can't win deserve it. In Xi Chen's view, this is the best way to solve problems between men. As for reasoning with the mouth and the like, that's a twist that only people who don't have the ability to do.
Xi Chen often compares himself to the wolf king, and compares the border guard mansion to a wolf's den, as for the northern border guards in the mansion, they are naturally a group of fearless wolves! Wolf nature is the character that Xi Chen values most to his subordinates, and any other excuse, Xi Chen will not really take it into account.
Even if it is personally recommended by the emperor!
In the evening, the martial arts field was densely packed with northern border guards, and there were hundreds of them at the very least, and the first row of northern border guards stood with a blazing torch in their hands. Hundreds of torches illuminated the originally dark martial arts field, and at the same time, Xi Chen, who was standing in the middle of the martial arts field, illuminated the handsome face red.
Dingbei Town at night is extremely cold, and Xi Chen's body is wrapped in a huge white robe in the cold wind, and the whole person looks not only cold, but also adds a touch of wealth.
At this moment, Lu Yifan and the others were standing in the corner of the martial arts field, quietly waiting for Xi Chen's opening.
Although hundreds of people gathered here at this moment, the whole audience was silent, everyone quietly looked at Xi Chen standing in the center of the martial arts field, their eyes were solemn and did not say a word, except for the occasional 'beep' sound from the torches, there was no other noise in this martial arts field.
Xi Chen had been standing here for about a stick of incense, and his eyes had been silently looking around the northern border guards, as if he was examining his group of subordinates. And when he saw these northern border guards standing tall and mighty, a pair of cold eyes finally flashed a trace of satisfaction, everyone standing here today was personally selected by him, and the people who could enter the border guard mansion were naturally the dragon and phoenix among the people in the northern Xinjiang area, the best among the leaders.
"There are a bunch of guests in our house today!" After a long silence, Xi Chen finally spoke slowly, his tone seemed to be a little joking, but his voice still sounded like a flat feeling, "The origin of these distinguished guests is not small, they are from Jinling City! Do you know what kind of place Jinling City is? It is a good place for princes and nobles to sing every night, and it is a world of difference from our small Dingbei Town!"
"Haha......" With Xi Chen's words, there was a burst of laughter around him.
In the eyes of these northern border guards, the emperor is far less deterrent than Xi Chen's. Most of them have a deep admiration for Xi Chen, so they naturally responded to Xi Chen's jokes at the moment.
Some people laugh happily, and there are also people with gloomy faces.
Lan Chen is undoubtedly the most obvious one, if it weren't for Lu Yifan next to him dragging his arm, I'm afraid that Lan Chen would have rushed up to confront Xi Chen.
"So what are these distinguished guests doing all the way to Dingbei Town?" Xi Chen continued, "It's for here, for this Frontier Guard Mansion! And they didn't come by themselves, but with an edict from the Emperor, now you all understand, right?"
"Understood!" echoed hundreds of northern border guards.
"I, Xi Chen, as an imperial minister, can't ignore the emperor's orders! But the Border Guard Mansion also has the rules of the Border Guard Mansion. After so many years, the rules of the Border Guard Mansion have not been broken by anyone, and I, Xi Chen, naturally can't set this precedent!" Xi Chen said and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and then a pair of shrewd eyes fell directly on Lu Yifan and Lan Chen, and said with a smile, "Then today I will give you a chance to join the Border Guard Mansion according to the rules, and let you accept the challenge of entering the mansion." If you have the ability to withstand the challenge, then from now on you will be a member of my Border Guard Mansion! But if you can't stand it, don't say that I Xichen didn't obey the order when you see the emperor when you go back, remember to say that you yourself are not capable!
"It's good to have rules!" Lu Yifan said loudly, "Although we came with the edict of the emperor, we also hope to join the border guard mansion with our true skills, since the governor can treat everyone equally, it is naturally the best thing." As for the challenge of entering the mansion, Lan Chen and I naturally can't ask for it!"
"Boy, don't talk too much, beware that you won't be able to get off the stage later!" Qin Bao, who was standing on the side, sneered coldly, "I've heard of the two of you, you were in the Holy Domain for a while because of the Heavenly Grace Competition, but after all, those are just a farce of Huangkou Xiaoer, the northern Xinjiang is not as good as Jinling City, it doesn't mean that you can fool the past if you are a little famous!"
"Young Master Ben has never known how to write the two words foolish!" Lan Chen retorted coldly, "It's you weird-speaking sissy, I don't know if you sat in the position of the flag master by fooling these two words!"
"Boy, do you know who you're talking to?" Qin Bao had never been so insulted by a junior in public, and he was furious at the moment, and his eyes became extremely ruthless, "This is Dingbei Town, if something happens, your father can't save you!"
"No need!" Lan Chen replied coldly, his eyes revealing endless disgust and disdain for this Qin Bao, "What kind of thing are you, and you deserve to mention my father?"
"Dudu!" Qin Bao suddenly arched his hand towards Xi Chen and said, "I am willing to challenge this kid to enter the mansion!" A chill appeared between his words.
"Yes!" And the thing that Lu Yifan didn't expect the most was that Xi Chen happily agreed after hearing Qin Bao's request, with Xi Chen's city, it was impossible for him not to feel the deep meaning of Qin Bao's words, even if he knew that Qin Bao wanted to take the opportunity to teach Lan Chen a hard lesson, he still agreed, which made Lu Yifan even more curious and confused about Xi Chen's character.
"The rules for entering the mansion challenge are very simple, that is, in the hands of any of my thirteen banner masters, you can survive ten rounds without being defeated!" Xi Chen ignored the surprise of Lu Yifan and the others, and still said lightly, "Ten rounds, I don't care if you run, hide, defend or resist, as long as you can still stand in the field after ten rounds, then the governor will consider you not defeated!"
"Ten rounds is nothing more than a gap between evenly matched masters, and it's really not worth it. But for two people with a huge difference in strength, these ten rounds will definitely make the weaker side feel worse than death!" Liu Sandao whispered in Lu Yifan's ear, "And I see that although Qin Bao is not a top master, he at least has the cultivation of the Three Turns Soul King, he and Lan Chen will do it, let alone ten rounds, even if it is three rounds, I am afraid that Lan Chen will be difficult to resist!"
"Three-Turn Soul King?" Xie Yun said with a look of surprise on his face, "He's just a banner master under Xi Chen, and he actually has the cultivation of the Three-Turn Soul King, so wouldn't this Xi Chen's cultivation be ......?"
"This is actually not surprising, after all, this is an important border defense area, if there is no decent master in charge, how can you maintain the safety of the northern frontier?" Liu Sandao naturally understood what Xie Yun meant, but compared to Xie Yun, Liu Sandao's reaction was much calmer, because in his eyes, the Three Turns Soul King was far from enough to attract his attention.
"What kind of person is this Governor of the Wei Mansion?" Lu Yifan ignored the conversation between Liu Sandao and Xie Yun, and just said to himself, "Why does he know that Qin Bao will be unfavorable to Lan Chen, but he still pretends not to know?"
"Xie Dudu!" Qin Bao couldn't wait to agree, and a wicked smile appeared on his thin face, and then under the surprised gaze of Tan Si and the others, he strode towards the center of the martial field.
"Boy, I hope your skills can be as powerful as your mouth!" Qin Bao stood in the martial arts arena and moved his muscles and bones slightly, clearly looking eager to try, staring at Lan Chen with greedy eyes, that kind of gaze was like looking at a prey that was about to die. After saying that, he also stretched out a finger of his right hand and lightly gestured at Lan Chen, the meaning of provocation was self-evident.
"Dog thing......" Seeing this, Lan Chen didn't want to raise his feet and wanted to walk towards the middle of the field, but he didn't want to be pulled by Lu Yifan on the side.
"Lan Chen!" Lu Yifan took Lan Chen's arm and said with a worried look in his eyes, "This Qin Bao has bad intentions, don't be fooled!"
"If I'm afraid of this kind of person, then I'm not Lan Chen!" Lan Chen said coldly, and then his hand suddenly put on Lu Yifan's hand, and he was about to push it away, but when he touched Lu Yifan's hand, a look of hesitation flashed on his face, and then the strength in his hand unconsciously slowed down a lot, and finally Lan Chen gently pushed Lu Yifan's hand away, and still left a sentence "Don't worry!"
In the face of Lan Chen's insistence, Lu Yifan naturally would not stop him anymore, he knew Lan Chen's temperament very well, if he was asked to retreat in front of a person like Qin Bao, it would be as simple as killing him directly.
"Don't worry, it'll be your turn after Lan Chen's challenge is over!" Xi Chen gently pulled the collar of his robe, and then said lightly, "Tan Si brought you here, then you can challenge Tan Si later!" With that, Xi Chen took a deep look at Lu Yifan again, and then turned around and walked to the edge of the martial field, where the four maidservants had prepared a chair covered with a velvet blanket for him.
At this moment, only Lan Chen and Qin Bao were left in the center of the martial arts field, standing opposite each other, glaring angrily, cold light emerged, and the battle intent heated up.
"Boy, I'll remind you now, my speed is very fast!" Qin Baoyin said with a smile, "And I won't show mercy at all, ten rounds is not much, so I won't waste a move!"
"Your isn't your ......"
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
"Forehead ......"
Before Lan Chen could finish speaking, he saw Qin Bao's figure move suddenly, he was only a few zhang away from Lan Chen, which was simply a step away for Qin Bao. Qin Bao's action was like a blast of wind, his shot was like thunder, and his hand was a heavy punch volleyed out of the air, directly hitting Lan Chen's lower abdomen, and Lan Chen didn't have time to react at all, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and then he felt that his lower abdomen suddenly felt a burst of pain, and then his stomach churned violently and almost vomited out his lunch, and then he slid out backwards with his feet on the ground in a muffled snort, and rubbed back a few meters before stopping, and at this moment Lan Chen's whole person had been bent into a bow, and there was only endless anger left in his eyes except for pain。
"It's too despicable, our son's words haven't been finished yet!" Sanchun hurriedly shouted dissatisfiedly when he saw this, but let Sanchun make a noise like a living treasure, and none of the surrounding northern guards paid attention to him. This also shows how strict the discipline in this border guard palace is on weekdays.
"I've only moved my muscles a little, and you can't do it before you use three points?" Qin Bao's joking voice suddenly came from Lan Chen's ears, and then before Lan Chen, who was full of anger, swung his fist towards the source of the sound, everyone only heard a sound of breaking the air in the field, and then saw Qin Bao perch forward again, and his body suddenly slammed when he approached Lan Chen, and then his right leg was suddenly raised, and in an instant, Qin Bao's toes kicked heavily on Lan Chen's chin, and Lan Chen's whole person let out a cry of pain again, and then his body flew backwards suddenly, turning over his head in mid-air and slamming heavily on his back face down。
"Mixed ...... Bastard...... "Lan Chen's mouth is now overflowing with blood, so much so that his teeth have been completely dyed into a terrifying scarlet with blood, the heavy fall just now made the muscles of his whole body almost unconscious, numbness and pain are intertwined to make Lan Chen unspeakably painful, it really responds to Liu Sandao's words just now, these ten rounds are enough to make Lan Chen's life worse than death."
Qin Bao stood in front of Lan Chen lying on the ground like this, looking at Lan Chen at his feet with a sneer, no longer in a hurry to continue to make moves, but he also had no intention of stopping. Looking at his current appearance, it seems that he is deliberately playing tricks on Lan Chen.
"Ahem...... Phew!" Lan Chen coughed violently twice, and then spat out a large mouthful of blood from his mouth, and then saw him slowly support the ground with his dusty hands, and then under the violent trembling of his arms, he slowly supported his body lying on the ground little by little.
"Smack!"
"Bang!"
However, just when Lan Chen's body was just two feet high, Qin Bao suddenly raised his right foot, and then stepped heavily on Lan Chen's back, this powerful kick made Lan Chen's whole person fall to the ground again, and he was caught off guard and let Lan Chen eat a large mouthful of loess.
"Childe!"
"Lan Chen!"
Faced with such a scene, Sanchun and Lu Yifan shouted almost at the same time, and there was a trace of worry in the shouting.
Looking at Xi Chen again, even in the face of such a unilateral abuse situation with a huge disparity in strength, his expression was still as calm as water, it seemed that he didn't feel anything wrong with this unfair duel at all, and later he even closed his eyes slightly, buried his head in his robe and pretended to sleep.
"It's only been two rounds, why can't you even stand up?" Qin Bao's right foot stomped on the back of Lan Chen's heart, and the smug look on his face couldn't help but be disgusting. In fact, as soon as he made a move just now, Qin Bao used all his strength, otherwise with Lan Chen's ability, it would be impossible not to even have the slightest chance to dodge.
"Hai Lao, if you fight like this for ten rounds, Lan Chen will definitely not be able to stand it, you see this matter......" Lu Yifan turned his head to the side and never said a word, and at this moment, I saw that Hai Lao's eyes were not focused on Lan Chen's body, but always fell on Xi Chen's body. This made Lu Yifan's words come to an abrupt end, and he obviously didn't understand why Hai Lao paid so much attention to Xi Chen.
"Trampled under your feet, you brute...... It's really embarrassing......" Lan Chen's hands were stuck in the loess, his ten fingers hated to insert ten holes in the ground, and his entire face was also buried deep in the loess at the moment, making it impossible to see his expression.
Badly dressed, covered in loess, with hair scattered and bloodstained all over the place, this is the truest portrayal of Lanchen at present.
"Boy, admit your mistake now, maybe I can give you a chance!" Qin Bao seemed to enjoy this feeling of teasing Lan Chen.
Hearing Qin Bao's words, Lan Chen's body suddenly trembled, and then he saw him raise his head with difficulty at Qin Bao's feet, and then looked up at Qin Bao coldly with a pair of bloodstained eyes, and only after a long time did he say coldly from his mouth: "Foolish people talk about dreams!"
"Look for death!" Qin Bao's face suddenly became violent, "Tell you, even if I can't kill you, I can cut off your hands and feet tonight, all for your father to teach you no one in sight!" With that, Qin Bao raised his right foot suddenly, and then turned his toe slightly, and then stomped down fiercely on Lan Chen's right shoulder.
"Wait!"
"Whew!"
And at this moment, Lu Yifan's violent shout suddenly sounded on the sidelines, and then I saw a black shadow quickly pass through the martial arts field like a swift wind, leaving a string of afterimages in mid-air, and in an instant, Lu Yifan appeared in front of Qin Bao, followed by Lu Yifan's blazing flame soul punch.
As long as Qin Bao doesn't accept the move, then this flame soul punch will be fixed for him!
Lu Yifan's action was so fast and sudden that the audience was caught off guard, and even Xi Chen was suddenly awakened by Lu Yifan's movements, and a touch of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Lu Yifan, you dare to break the rules of my house!" Xi Chen's cold shout appeared in the field almost at the same time as Lu Yifan's figure.
"Qin Bao doesn't know how serious it is, shouldn't he be beaten! What kind of bullshit rule are you setting? What can you do if it's broken?" Before Xi Chen's words fell, Liu Sandao's voice followed.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the entire martial arts arena instantly became tense!
