Chapter 6: Martial Arts (Part I)
During the banquet, Murong Yan sat on the main seat, and Xu Yan sat on the right hand side. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The table is full of melons, fruits and dishes, and the ingredients are all of the best products, which are not only delicious but also highly nutritious, far from being comparable to Xu Yan's usual diet.
As soon as Xu Yan sat down, he didn't say a word and took a big gulp, not caring about other people's eyes at all.
At the top of Murong Yan's left, a tall young man sneered: "I didn't fall to death, be careful to support yourself to death!"
The young man who spoke was the son of the general of the Great Xia Kingdom, named Chen Feng, and in addition to the fourth prince Murong Yan, he had the highest status.
As soon as these words came out, a group of people burst into laughter.
Xu Yan wiped his mouth and glanced at Chen Feng, and retorted indifferently: "Some people, with in their mouths, will definitely be suffocated if they don't speak." ”
"You!" Chen Feng was furious, almost overturned the table, pointed at Xu Yan and shouted, "Who are you talking about, have the ability to say it again?"
"Whoever has in his mouth is who he says. What, do you want to hear it again?" Xu Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Feng without showing weakness.
Murong Yan gave Chen Feng a look, signaling him not to act rashly, and then mediated: "Okay, today is just for drinking and having fun, let's not say a word." ”
After that, Murong Yan raised his wine glass, everyone followed and drank freely, Chen Feng snorted coldly and sat down.
Xu Yan raised his glass and drank it all, and continued to eat and drink as if nothing had happened.
I finally had a meal of high-quality dishes that nourished my qi and blood, and I was in the important stage of impacting the early stage of the inner rest realm, so of course I didn't miss a great opportunity.
After three rounds of drinking, Murong Yan got up and said, "Today's banquet is in the Golden Puppet Tower, of course, there is no shortage of entertainment programs. ”
Murong Yan applauded three times, and the handymen who had been waiting for a long time below were busy, and a rush of drums sounded.
Except for the third floor where Xu Yan and the others were, the guests on the other floors walked out of the room one after another, and the atmosphere in the entire Jinkui Building suddenly became warm, and the people were noisy and shouting.
The martial arts in the Great Xia Kingdom will be very popular, and Jin Kuilou is even more famous for this.
Xu Yan touched his chin and said secretly: "Murong Yan arranged the banquet in Jinkui Tower, won't he just let me see that martial arts is so simple?"
It's good to take a look at the martial arts meeting, not long after I came to the Xianwu World for a long time, just to see how the martial artists in this world are.
The crowded crowd of onlookers divided into two passages, and the two warriors walked out and jumped into the air on the suspended martial arts platform several feet high.
As the warriors appeared, the enthusiasm of the crowd reached the peak of the round, and they let out excited shouts.
One of the warriors was bare-shouldered, revealing oily thick muscles, his eyes flashing fiercely, and he was menacing.
The other person was in a cyan robe, holding a folding fan in his hand and having a graceful demeanor, not like a warrior but more like a noble son, but with another kind of bearing in his gestures.
"Do you think which of the two of them can win?" Murong Yan pointed downwards and looked at Xu Yan with interest.
In this kind of martial arts fight, the martial artist's fist and foot exercises are good, but it is impossible to reach the level of the inner breath realm, and the strong people of the inner rest realm disdain to surrender their identities to this kind of occasion.
It is precisely because the realm cannot be separated too much that the battle is often full of uncertainty.
Xu Yan pondered for a moment and replied: "That shirtless strong man seems to be powerful, but his steps are a little vain, and he should not be the opponent of the robed noble son." ”
"Ao?" Murong Yan seemed surprised by Xu Yan's judgment, and then smiled: "It's not interesting to just look at it, it's better for us to place a bet and add a little more interest." ”
Xu Yan sneered in his heart, and said secretly: "For such a big battle, it turned out to be waiting for me here." ”
Without waiting for Xu Yan to refuse, Murong Yan preemptively said:
"In this scene, I bet three thousand taels for Brother Xu Yan. Since you recuperated from your injuries, I wanted to visit, but unfortunately I have not been free, so these three thousand taels should be my apology. ”
As soon as Murong Yan said this, Xu Yan had no way to refuse, and Chen Feng and several other sons of the family also shouted and followed one after another.
Chen Feng bet five thousand taels of bare-chested strong men to win, and after placing the bet, he glanced at Xu Yan coldly, and the meaning of provocation was self-evident, obviously he wanted to fight against Xu Yan.
Three drums sounded, and the fight officially began.
The bare-chested strong man took the lead in action, and suddenly pounced under his feet, shaking the suspended martial arts platform violently.
The green robe boy is very stable, the soles of his feet are like completely connected to the platform and are not affected by shaking at all, first he folds the fan with his right hand, catches the first move of the bare-chested strong man, and then twists his body, and the folding fan stabs the opponent's left lower ribs like a sharp sword, and the action is as fast as lightning in one go.
Xu Yan nodded secretly, although these two people are not in the inner rest realm, they are enough to be called masters among ordinary martial artists, and the strength of a single fist is estimated to be six or seven hundred catties, and he is not much different from them.
The two of you have fought dozens of moves, and there are gains and losses for each other, and there is no difference between victory and defeat.
Suddenly, the situation took a turn for the worse.
The young man in the green robe was caught by the bare-chested strong man, and the dantian was hit hard by a punch, and his body involuntarily regressed and almost fell off the martial arts platform.
Although he did not fall out of the martial arts arena in the end, the young man in the green robe was seriously injured by a blow and his breath became unstable, and he only had the power to parry in the face of the stormy attack of the bare-chested strong man, and he was completely at a disadvantage.
"Brother Xu Yan, I'm afraid you lost this game. Murong Yan smiled lightly.
Xu Yan shrugged his shoulders and scolded in his heart: "If I can win the bet, it would be strange." ”
If it was Xu Yan before, he might not be able to see the greasy in it. After a period of hard practice, Xu Yan's strength increased greatly, and the true strength of the two martial artists could not escape his eyesight.
The young man in the green robe deliberately concealed his strength, falling behind step by step, and the loss was decided.
The two exchanged more than a dozen moves, and the young man in the green robe was really knocked down by a heavy punch to the martial arts platform, and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood in his mouth.
The bet is one to two, Chen Feng proudly raised the 10,000 taels of silver tickets he won back in his hand, and sneered:
"It is said that the martial arts country is still martial, a dignified prince, it doesn't matter if he has no strength, he doesn't even have a little eyesight, and he can't hit the bet, it's ridiculous!"
Xu Yan was silent, no matter how much he said at this time, it was useless.
Murong Yan smiled faintly: "It's just this one, there is another one behind." Brother Xu Yan doesn't need to be in a hurry, there is always a chance to turn the tables. ”
The bare-chested man wins and still stands on the fighting platform, and then he will fight another warrior.
"Believe your words, even your pants will be lost!" Xu Yan didn't say anything on the surface, and scolded Murong Yan and Chen Feng in his heart.
There is no good banquet, according to their rules, they will only be played to death.
Chen Feng hurriedly took Murong Yan's words and said, "The three thousand taels just now were given to you by the prince, and now that you have lost it all, you are afraid that you have no capital, right?"
Xu Yan spread his hands, let alone three thousand taels, even one hundred taels couldn't be touched.
"What does it matter, as long as Brother Xu Yan says a number, I will lend it to you. After the turnover, just pay me back. Murong Yan had been waiting here for a long time, but he was afraid that Xu Yan would not speak.
Xu Yan touched his chin and pondered for a moment, if he didn't even have the confidence to continue betting, he would definitely be ridiculed by Chen Feng and others to the end.
The most important thing is that he is in the critical period of breaking through the early stage of the Inner Breath Realm, and if he can bet on the gambling game and make a lot of money, it will undoubtedly alleviate the urgent shortage of resources for cultivation.
"Medicinal herbs, food, etc., everything needs silver taels, and if you don't seize this opportunity in front of you, it will be difficult to earn silver taels in the short term. ”
Xu Yan made up his mind, since Murong Yan and the others wanted to play, he would accompany them to play a big game.
"Since Brother Murong is kind, then I'll borrow 10,000 taels. Xu Yan said with a light smile.
Chen Feng and the others were slightly stunned, then laughed and said, "You're really embarrassed to speak." You pee and take a picture, do you have something worth so much silver all over your body?"
Murong Yan waved his hand and happily agreed: "Ten thousand taels?
"Casinos have casino rules, even if you borrow money, you must always have a mortgage. Chen Feng immediately said, and then looked Xu Yan up and down with a mocking expression, "It's just that you don't have anything valuable on your body." ”
"That's right, Jin Kuilou's rules really can't be broken. ”
Murong Yan pretended to show a look of embarrassment, rubbed his hands and thought for a while and said, "It's better for Brother Xu Yan to use the jade pendant on his waist as collateral." ”
Xu Yan looked down at the golden jade pendant hanging on his waist, this is the status symbol of the prince of Wuguo, according to the value of jade alone, I don't know how much silver, but it is of great significance, and it cannot be simply calculated in silver taels.
Once Xu Yan loses the jade pendant, he will lose face, and his reputation will be greatly damaged when he returns to Wuguo. Xu Yan couldn't figure out what the other party was doing this for, but he obviously didn't feel good.
"Okay, I'll use the jade pendant as collateral. Xu Yan paused for a moment and continued: "Everyone is so interested, I have another proposal. ”
Seeing that Xu Yan was about to fall into the trap, Murong Yan bluntly agreed to all of Xu Yan's proposals.
"Why don't I have a bet with everyone here, and I will personally go down to the martial arts platform to fight a game. If I win, all the bets will be mine, and if I lose, not only the jade pendant will go to Brother Murong, but I will pay all your bets. ”
As soon as Xu Yan's words came out, Murong Yan and Chen Feng were surprised.
In their impression, Xu Yan's martial arts are not very good, not to mention the masters of the Inner Breath Realm, even ordinary masters are not opponents.
"Okay, Brother Xu Yan is so courageous!" Murong Yan immediately applauded, and Chen Feng and the others snickered.
"I'll bet 20,000 silver!"
Chen Feng was the first to place a bet, took out another 10,000 silver tickets from his arms, and threw a total of 20,000 silver tickets in his hand in front of the table.
"I'll give you five thousand taels!"
"I'll give three thousand taels!"
The sons of other families have made moves, although their handwriting is not as good as Chen Feng's, but there are as many as 20,000 together.
Xu Yan swallowed his saliva, just Chen Feng and his gang of gentlemen sold more than 40,000 silver, not counting the fourth prince Murong Yan, as long as he won this game, he didn't have to worry about silver in recent months.
"I'm out ......" Murong Yan stretched out three fingers, and before he could say anything, he was stopped by Xu Yan first.
"Brother Murong doesn't need to give out money, I think the night pearl on your crown is good. Xu Yan pointed directly at Murong Yan's jade crown, a night pearl the size of a dragon's eye was shining, and it was worth tens of thousands of taels to say the least.
Murong Yan's face twitched, similar to Xu Yan's jade pendant, this night pearl is also a symbol of the prince's status.
In case Xu Yan wins, it will not be Xu Yan who will be slapped in the face, but him Murong Yan.
"Okay!
Murong Yan gritted his teeth, he didn't believe how powerful Xu Yan could be, not to mention that he still had hole cards unplayed.
