Chapter 25: Martial Arts
I was nervous for a moment, didn't I already say it, why did I have to get his consent? What the hell is going on with this one? I was a little panicked, looked at the big tree that was also puzzled, and cautiously said to the white ghost:
"Lord Cathy, isn't this already said? On the day of departure, Dashu and I will go to Luohui City with the tribute horse team, we can eat or stay, as long as we can follow the team, we just want to get there safely. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info please be accommodating. ”
"Hehe, look at you nervous," the white ghost showed his signature smile again, gently shook the wine in the glass, and slowly spoke, "I didn't say that I wouldn't let you go, after all, the old iron head has said these things, and he is still the most honest, I can't easily break his rules." ”
"Still,"
Before I could calm down, sure enough, this thing spoke again, and I knew that he liked to leave the key to later.
"After all, the funds in the city are limited, and these funds are not for nothing, they are all donated by the people of the city, if you are allowed to follow the horse team like this, I have nothing in my heart, but if the people in the city of Urs know, what will they think? If it affects the reputation of the old iron head, it will be very bad. ”
These words made the Akas brothers laugh secretly next to them, holding their mouths one by one, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, and the white ghost was a serious Sven look, obviously he was making trouble in his heart, how could it be said that in the end, it was related to the interests of the entire city-state, and what was even more odious was that in the end, he said that the two of us would affect the reputation of the old iron head by doing this. This is simply slander, helping a foreigner in distress for free, what a good reputation this is, how can he become a moth in the city's mouth? Although he is reluctant in his heart, he is under the roof, and the other party is the royal family in this city, so he really has to bow his head and dare not refute it. So he asked:
"So, what do you mean?"
Now the white ghost's smile is even bigger, the two white eyebrows are bent together, and the folds of the face have also appeared, not at all like the skin of a young man, it really looks like a ghost.
"Yes, yes," he said, "you're really a smart person, and it's convenient to deal with smart people." I don't mean anything else, let you go with the horse team, and to be honest, you have to earn this skill yourself. ”
"Then how do you earn your skills, what kind of skills do you earn?" the big tree said directly without thinking about it.
"Okay, yes, I don't think everyone is in high spirits at today's banquet, and they haven't been excited yet. "I glanced at the next door, and I wasn't excited yet? The people at the next table were almost drunk, blushing, falling to the ground, and talking nonsense, how could it not be lively, I think you are trying to stir up trouble. Sure enough, the main topic came next, "It's better to do this, you guys show their respective strengths, and liven up the atmosphere!"
"Good, good, good!" The Arcas brothers and some onlookers began to applaud, and those who didn't hear clearly in some farther places were also attracted by the applause, and they craned their necks to see the excitement one by one.
"Lord Cathy, this is not good, we are both foreigners, our status is humble, we can come to such a banquet is already grateful to Dade, how can we still be in the limelight in the public? I'm afraid this is not good?" I quickly analyzed in my mind, thinking of a way to reject him.
"Hey, it's okay, we don't look down on outsiders here, no matter which tribe they are, they all treat them equally, don't worry. The white ghost patted his chest and said reassuringly. This Nima, the Akas brothers laughed at us just now, if it weren't for this, we would have been fooled by the words of the white ghost.
"How do you behave then?" I got ready.
It's simple, all the Witnesses are there. Since you are going to Luohui City with tribute, naturally the people accompanying you should be both civil and military, although you are foreigners, you can't know nothing, so let's lower the conditions, you two don't have to be both wise and brave, just be able to be both civil and military. The two of you should discuss who will write and who will come to the martial arts. ”
After saying that, he shook his head as if he had taken advantage of it, and joked with the people next to him.
What is this going on? I didn't expect this banquet to become a Hongmen banquet. Big Tree and I stared at each other, and immediately decided on our respective identities. Although my archery skills are good, the actual force value is indeed not as good as that of the big tree, and his rough skin and thick flesh plus great strength make it more suitable to break through the martial arts. In fact, the main reason is that he has a defective IQ, so it can only be like this.
"Alright, Master Cathy, we've decided. "Dashu and I knew our respective division of labor with a glance, so we immediately spoke.
"Huh, so fast?" The white ghost obviously didn't expect our tacit understanding to reach such a point, and was stunned for a moment, and then recovered his clues, and said playfully, "That's simple, Wuguan is to show his strength, and he can accept the power of a sword, and Wenguan is much more interesting, just to make more people on the scene laugh, how about it?
I briefly discussed it with Tai Shu, because I am not sure that I can make everyone laugh at the audience, so I should let Tai Shu go to the martial arts fight first, and I will take advantage of this time to think about it.
"Okay, it's really strong," the white ghost patted the flesh of the big tree, nodded with satisfaction, and jokingly said, "I don't know if you can resist it later?" Before the big tree could speak, he stood up abruptly and roared loudly:
"Distinguished guests, be quiet, listen to me a few words. "Wait to be quiet," the theme of tonight's banquet is this tribute, presumably whether there is a name on this list, everyone basically knows in their hearts. However, there are still two people who are not sure, they are these two young people around me, although they do not belong to the city, but they also have a yearning for the future and a beautiful heart, in order to show the people of Urs City, I decided to give them this opportunity, but the decision is in their hands. If, here, in the presence of you, they pass the test, then they will be entitled to follow the tributary caravan and become part of them. ”
"Good, good!" I have to say, this white ghost's eloquence is really good, if anyone is with him, it is really self-defeating. With just a few words, the people on the scene were mobilized, and the whole atmosphere became about to ferment.
The white ghost enjoyed the process, and it brought him pride, and he squinted at it, and then waved his hand for a long time, and then said:
"Next, let's have a martial fight, and this martial arts fight is very simple to say. We are all warriors in Urs, so as long as this one," he awkwardly turned back and asked the name of the big tree, "as long as this big tree warrior, this name is really strange, but it also shows his quality, he is as strong and full of vitality as the big tree, as long as this big tree warrior can resist the power of the sword of Steven John Knight, then he will pass the test!!"
"Roar, roar!" everyone in the room began to get excited, obviously not because of the big tree, but because of the knight Steven John, who was able to witness his swordsmanship, it was really worth the trip. So everyone was cheering and shouting feverishly.
The big tree was embarrassed, and I was in a daze. If I didn't know how powerful this knight was, maybe I wasn't so worried, but it was that gaze that made me feel terrible, such a person must be very powerful, maybe his sword power is not so easy to bear, I can only hope that he is just a show, and does not use too much skill.
The big tree must be anxious in his heart, but there is no way, and now that he is surrounded and pushed on stage, I find that Steven John has a gloomy face and does not know what he is thinking.
Hush!
The audience has begun to whistle, and all kinds of clamors have come and gone. Dashu stood there stunned with a sword on the stage, his eyes constantly staring at me in the audience, obviously at a loss.
"Calm down, be still," this hard tone sounded again, "Everyone, thank you for your love, let me serve as this martial arts, originally I should have been tested, but after all, we are guests from afar, we also have to show our tolerance and generosity, let me take action, after all, it is too unfair to this little brother, so let's let another warrior test it today, and wait until the day of departure, how about I show you alone?"
These are more interesting than the power of a sword, this is a display of martial arts, of course, more than a sword, although the people here feel a pity, but soon they will be able to appreciate more and better, and they are relieved, and they have applauded. I could faintly see it below, and Steven John glared at the white ghost fiercely, much more than he did at me.
As soon as he spoke, a guard came to the stage, looking ordinary, just like a guard who usually stood guard. He came to the stage and first signaled, then drew his sword and began to play alone. I saw the sword light and sword shadow on the stage, the candles were flickering and dimming with the sword wind, and the body was walking around with the pace, and this hand looked like a powerful person, and I couldn't help but worry about the big tree.
Suddenly, the guard turned around and walked in front of the tree, raised his long sword, and roared, "Look at the move!!", and the sword slashed down from the middle. It's too late for me to shout a reminder below.
While!
With a loud bang, the sword in the big tree's hand had been shaken to the ground, and there was a huge gap left on it, which showed how powerful it was just now.
The guard was still expressionless, and even his chest did not rise and fall to pant much, and said coldly to the big tree sitting on the ground, his hands were still trembling:
"Congratulations, you've passed the test. ”
