Chapter 20: The Ring
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Fudu Airport, the Nam Bang Guo Taekwondo Exchange Group officially arrived in our city today, and they will stay here for ten days to have friendly exchanges with our city's martial arts masters. It is reported that the Fudu Guoshu Association has organized a team of more than 300 people, and they have been training in a closed way for three months for the exchange conference that will start this weekend, now let's interview ......"
Liang Hu casually turned off the TV, he had no interest in what was going on. In the past half a month, Liang Hu has been closed, in addition to the normal practice of "Quenching Jade Jue", he concentrates on practicing the eight styles of Vajra every day according to the content of the book "Introduction to Bajiquan" given by Lin Xiangxue. The disc that Xu Meiji gave Liang Hu, he took the time to study it carefully, Xu Meiji's brother is fast, strong, and has changeable legs, it is by no means Xu Meiji's kind of flower fist embroidered legs used for performance, Liang Hu gave him a better evaluation than Lin Zehui, but if it is really a life and death fight, the victory or defeat is not yet known.
In this way, the opponent sent himself to the door, how could Liang Hu, who urgently needed to gain experience through guò actual combat, be willing to let it go, but he was quite cautious not to call Xu Meiji in advance to prevent unnecessary accidents, today after confirming that the taekwondo exchange group had arrived in Fudu, Liang Hu knew that the time had come, so he picked up the phone and dialed according to the phone number written on the business card Xu Meiji gave him.
"Hello, is it Mr. Liang Hu?" Xu Meiji's sweet voice came from the phone, in a month or two, her Celestial Empire dialect was quite fluent, if she didn't know Xu Meiji's origin, just based on this sentence, most of them would mistakenly think that she was a Celestial Empire person rather than an exchange student of Nanbangguo.
Liang Hu didn't say anything, and said straight to the point: "I'm Liang Hu." I'm going to take on your brother, but there are a few conditions......"
"Mr. Liang Hu, please speak!"
"This time it's a closed-door competition, the results are not known, and we can bring a few friends with each other, but we don't need an audience and we can't record it. Liang Hu quickly and clearly stated his request: "You can arrange the specific time and place, but you must get my consent." That's it. ”
"Okay, Mr. Liang Hu. Xu Meiji said: "Most of these conditions are fine, but you can't record this...... Mr. Liang Hu, we still hope to keep an audio-visual material, which is not only an archive material, but also the most convenient learning material. I believe Mr. Liang Hu, you have also watched the video of my brother's game, isn't this way more convenient and less easy to forget than to memorize it in your head?"
Liang Hu actually doesn't care about this at all, now that science and technology are so developed, even if this group of Nanbang people promises that a few simple pinhole cameras or other similar means can still achieve the goal, he did this purely to establish an image used for disguise, after all, Liang Hu once served as the chief instructor of the Earth Federation, and he knows very well that for the country's powerful institutions, folk martial arts enthusiasts emerge in an endless stream, and few people will care about these, and the ones who really attract the attention of these departments are those who have various abilities and are not in their control。
As Liang Hu's "Quenching Jade Technique" became more and more sophisticated, it was almost impossible to be as obscure as he was now, especially since he needed a lot of money to buy raw materials in order to draw talismans, which meant that the name Liang Hu would sooner or later fall into the sight of some well-intentioned people. People who have gained great power through guò magic, magic, awakening, etc., are collectively referred to as the Aliens, and their biggest and most conspicuous problem is that the time to gain power is often very short, and the state's powerful institutions only need a normal investigation procedure to find that Liang Hu only became so conspicuous after going to university.
Rather than letting others find out their true details at that time, it is better to lay out a foreshadowing in advance now, a lover of national arts who is proficient in martial arts but does not like to publicize it, because he concentrates on practicing martial arts all year round and does not ask about the world, so it is not surprising that there are very few people who know that he has this kind of kung fu, and the golden bell jar kung fu disguised with "quenching jade trick" is also quite in line with such an identity. There are so many similar roles in the powerful agency data room that they can easily be overlooked, and although this method does not really solve the problem, it is enough to buy Liang Hu the time he needs most.
"Alright then, you can record it, but I need a full CD afterwards. Liang Hu had already achieved his goal, he pretended to be a little unhappy and said this, then immediately hung up the phone, no longer giving Xu Meiji a chance to bargain.
After about an hour, Xu Meiji called and informed Liang Hu that the time for the competition was set for the evening of tomorrow 12th, which was the day before the Fudu Exchange Competition, and I believe that Xu Meiji's brother had taken more than a day of rest to adapt to the local environment, and the exchange competition had not yet been held, so he should have more time to arrange for Liang Hu's competition. As for the location, it was placed in the Mingyue Hotel, where the taekwondo exchange group stayed, where a ring for communication was arranged, which was just a rehearsal in advance.
Liang Hu hung up the phone and drew a circle on the wall with a pen on the day of the 12th, and then he dialed Lin Xiangxue's phone: "President Lin, there is something I want to ask you for a favor, I have a ...... tomorrow night"
On the evening of December 12th, Liang Hu, who had already packed up and stopped, left his home where he had been staying for more than half a month, he took a taxi and went straight to Fudu University, and after picking up Lin Xiangxue's sister and brother at the campus gate, he told the driver that today's final destination was the Mingyue Hotel. This hotel is a joint venture with businessmen from Lampang, so it's no wonder that this exchange group stayed here instead of choosing the city's top Dorsett Hotel.
It is undeniable that Nan Bangguo has put a lot of thought into promoting taekwondo, not only cultivating a large number of beautiful women or handsome guys like Xu Meiji as image messengers, but also setting up a variety of assessments, so that people can be admitted one by one, and they can clearly see their own growth experience.
And many of the moves in taekwondo are quite cool, which is most in line with the minds of young people today, after all, for the layman, it looks handsome enough, cool enough, and being able to show off is the most important thing.
Xu Meiji has been waiting outside the Mingyue Hotel for a long time, she changed into the outfit of the hotel staff today, and covered her face with a hat, after picking up Liang Hu and the three of them, Xu Meiji took them into the Mingyue Hotel by detouring to the side of the staff passage. With such a guide, Liang Hu and the others can be said to have unimpeded traffic, and soon came to the VIP center on the top floor, where the exchange ring was set up.
It used to be a place for hotel guests to exercise, and all kinds of fitness equipment were placed, but now all these things have been moved to the corner, and a 12-meter square competition field has been arranged in the center of the vacant hall. The ring is not without guardrails, but it is half a meter higher than the surrounding ground, so that you can clearly see the situation from any position in the hall without being affected by the audience in the front row.
Xu Meiji asked Liang Hu and them to wait for a while, and she walked out quickly. Liang Hu and the other three found a place to sit in the audience seat arranged next to them, thinking that Xu Meiji would come back in ten minutes at most, but this wait was more than two hours. For this result, although Liang Hu did not expect but was not surprised, the guys in Nanbangguo like to play some small tricks the most, when the Olympic Games were held, they used all kinds of non-facetable means to disgust people, such as arranging a sumptuous seafood dinner, but deliberately placed mangoes and other conflicting fruits in the athletes' rooms, and then drove the athletes to the stadium two hours in advance, but found a street in the city that is easy to get stuck in traffic, so that you can only arrive a few minutes in advance, and there is no time to warm up.
In short, how can you destroy the mood and state of other people's games, these guys from Nanbangguo will spare no effort to do it, and now Xu Meiji hangs Liang Hu here, it seems that he is ready to take the opportunity to wear off his patience, so that Liang Hu can easily show his flaws in the next competition center, but unfortunately they are destined to be disappointed today, although they sit for two hours, but Liang Hu still looks as usual, and is not affected by this episode at all.
Lin Xiangxue sat with Liang Hu for two hours calmly, and she occasionally said a sentence or two but pointed out a lot of key things: "The chairman of the Nanbangguo side of Mingyue Hotel is also surnamed Xu, and I don't know what the connection is with Xu Meiji." In addition, Xu Meiji's brother Xu Changcan's style and moves have changed a lot in the past year or so, becoming more mature and aggressive, if I guess correctly, the discs he gave you must have only been videos from a few years ago, right?"
Liang Hu smiled at Lin Xiangxue to express her gratitude, although she said it simply, but if she wanted to obtain such information, she must have spent a lot of energy behind it, and she may even have used a lot of human relationships, and she owed the other party a small favor in addition to the boxing scripture of "Introduction to Bajiquan".
After waiting for about half an hour, the door of this VIP fitness center was finally pushed open, and a group of more than 20 people rushed in, Xu Meiji, who had left under the pretext of leaving, was also among them, Liang Hu noticed that the young man in front of Xu Meiji was Xu Changcan, who he had seen in the CD video, compared to the audio-visual materials on it, this man's age seemed to be a little more mature, it seems that they really did the same as Lin Xiangxue said before, the video of the game they gave themselves was all two years ago, if Liang Hu took Xu Changcan at that time as an imaginary enemy, he would definitely suffer a dumb loss tonight。
