Back in Linzi, the Lu people attach great importance to credibility, and they keep it secret when they say it's confidential. There's no nonsense on the other side of the village, so no one talks about last night.

Cao Mo was even more silent, deducing swordsmanship every day, thinking about what he had gained, and his swordsmanship was becoming more and more sophisticated.

The day of the sword fighting tournament is also getting closer and closer, and the swordsmen of various countries are almost there.

The sword fighting tournament that gathered the outstanding swordsmen of the Central Plains countries was finally held, and the knockout round of the sword fighting tournament was held in the sword fighting hall established during the year.

First of all, the competition in the closed environment was eliminated, and the sword fighting hall was crackling every day.

Since it was the first time it was held, there were no rules, but for safety, everyone used wooden swords instead of real swords. After all, it's just a competition, if someone really dies, it will be a loss for Huaxia.

"Each swordsman has three special gold sword coins in his hand, each swordsman can challenge any opponent at will, the winner can take one gold sword coin from the loser, and the swordsman who gets six gold sword coins first can enter the next round of sword fighting in front of the palace. Note that there must be at least one eyewitness to testify to the competition, and the gold knife coins cannot be traded, and the ownership can only be determined through battle. Once a swordsman initiates a challenge, the challenged swordsman cannot refuse to fight for any reason. Guan Zhong personally announced the rules of the first round: to compete for gold knife coins.

In this way, at least half of the swordsmen must be eliminated in the end, and at least one opponent must be defeated three times, or three opponents must be defeated once.

There are 30 Qi swordsmen, three Lu swordsmen, seven Chu swordsmen, two Yan swordsmen, two Zhou swordsmen, one Qin swordsman, one Zheng swordsman, one Wei swordsman, one Song swordsman, one Han swordsman, two Jin swordsmen, five Jiuyi swordsmen, a total of 56 swordsmen participated.

Seeing that there were not many people, but they came from all over the world, it took a year to gather in the Qi country. The farthest Qin swordsman passed through the entire Central Plains, and it was not easy to come to the Qi State after wading through mountains and rivers within half a year.

Of course, the level of the swordsman of Qin State is really average, but his spirit of participation is the strongest among the fifty-six swordsmen, he broke through more than a dozen pairs of straw sandals, got lost several times, and finally even lost his retainers, and he still insisted on coming to Linzi alone, which is comparable to Journey to the East.

As soon as the sword fight began, there were Qi swordsmen who immediately challenged Cao Mo.

Because he couldn't refuse, then Cao Mo naturally responded. The two swordsmen stood in the center of the courtyard of the sword fighting hall, and the surrounding corridors were full of watching swordsmen, and they waited to see what level the world-famous number one swordsman of the Lu Kingdom was.

Cao Mo was able to kidnap Xiaobai and let the Qi State return the land annexed to the Lu State, and his reputation was outstanding.

"Today I will help the monarch to get rid of his shame." The young Qi swordsman raised his sword and said.

Cao Mo didn't react at all.

"How dare you despise me?" The young swordsman felt that he was being underestimated.

But the surrounding swordsmen thought that Cao Mo's elder brother Cao Di had proposed the tactic of 'one blow and then three times and exhaustion', and now Cao Mo is not like this? When the young swordsman's momentum declines, he will not be able to exert his full strength.

"Wow, I'm mad." Seeing Cao Mo's ignorance of his love, the young swordsman's momentum suddenly decreased, and when he attacked, he had already lost his discipline, and his pace was chaotic.

Seeing the enemy approaching, Cao Mo took the reins, swung a sword as fast as lightning, and hit the enemy's wrist with a snap, the young swordsman took off his hand in pain, and the long sword fell to the ground, already losing.

The young swordsman was dumbfounded, obviously not expecting to be killed in an instant. However, admitting gambling and losing, he couldn't embarrass Qi Ren, and gave Cao Mo a gold knife coin, but he didn't cheat.

When the young swordsman returned to the Qi people, he bowed his head in shame: "I failed to let Cao Mo use his sword moves, I am ashamed of the Qi country, and I am willing to kneel for three days." "If you fail, you will be punished.

"If I meet Cao Mo, I don't need to say much, just attack it in one go." A female swordsman in delicate leather armor said to her companions in Chu language, several Chu people nodded again and again, they can't fall for Cao Mo's evil. It is also strange to say that these Chu people are headed by women.

After reminding her companion, the female swordsman said in a lame dialect: "I know that your Qi Kingdom wants to bully more and force out Cao Mo's sword moves, and then your first swordsman Feng Shiwu will be able to see the moves, you Qi people are really too despicable." ”

"You Chu country barbarians, you don't know what wisdom is at all." The Qi people are too lazy to waste their tongues with the barbarians.

The female swordsman has healthy wheat-colored skin and delicate facial features, but her figure is tall and toned, and her long legs attract attention. However, at this time, she had a murderous intention, if she hadn't come to Qi Country to shoulder the mission this time, she would have killed these self-righteous Qi swordsmen a long time ago.

The despicable Qi people will use some despicable tricks of 'buying deer in the Chu State'.

"Let's go." The Chu people behind the woman were also very angry, they were also the heroes of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, and they were looked down upon by these guys because of their low title, why did they look down on the Chu State? Now that the state of Chu has been proclaimed king, then it is on an equal footing with Zhou Tianzi, and these vassal states should be called vassals in the south.

Fifty years ago, King Wu of Chu usurped to claim the throne, and the Central Plains did not take the Chu State to play, and the Chu State played by itself. It's a pity that the center of Chinese civilization is still in the Central Plains, although the Chu State is called the king, but the Central Plains does not recognize it, and this king has a lot of water.

"Yu Niang, you shouldn't stop me just now, if I go to challenge, I will definitely be able to frustrate the spirit of Qi Guo. I hate the way they look down on people. The most majestic swordsman of the Chu State, and also the blackest-faced swordsman, said to the female swordsman of the Chu State who took the lead.

This woman's name is Yu Niang, her identity is not ordinary, her father is the famous Bian He. It was Bian He, who offered the He's bi, who suffered the anger of three generations of Chu monarchs in the Chu State, until the current Chu monarch, King Chu Wen, finally admitted that Bian He was not a stone, but a real treasure jade. In recognition of Bian He's loyalty, he was named the Marquis of Lingyang, but Bian He did not accept it. Bian He's youngest daughter was influenced by He Shibi since she was a child, gave birth to a strange ability, practiced swordsmanship, became the first swordsman in the Chu State, and was respected by the Chu people.

"Don't forget, our task is to find a swordsmith who can strengthen the country, the sword fighting conference is just a temporary battle of will, but the swordsmith is related to the national body, now the swordsmith is all in the Qi country, as long as a few can be tied back, then the Chu country will have a chance to compete with the Qi country." It turns out that participating in the sword fighting tournament is fake, and kidnapping the swordsmith is real.

It is also rare for them to take advantage of this opportunity, in the past, the Chu people were inevitably restricted from coming to the Qi State, but during the sword fighting conference, the swordsmen of the Chu State could move freely. Not to mention that a large number of swordsmiths gathered together this time, it was simply seducing the Chu State to commit crimes, anyway, everyone thought that the Chu State was a barbarian, so let the barbarians show them.

But now Yu Niang is a little troubled, that is, she has fallen in love with a quite powerful swordsmith, but she doesn't know the identity of the swordsmith. In her hand is the iron sword made by Chunying, Yu Niang was shocked when she got this short sword, and immediately decided to tie the caster of the short sword back to the Chu State, but this swordsmith is too mysterious. But the more mysterious it is, the more excited Yu Niang is, doesn't mystery mean that the swordsmith is capable, so even if she digs three feet into the ground, she has to find out the caster of the short sword.

The team of the Chu people is not simple, in addition to the daughter of Bian He, there is also the son of Quan Yin, who is the big black one. The state of power was originally a small country, but it was destroyed by the state of Chu, and King Wu of Chu did not divide the country of power to doctors or nobles, but directly set up the county of Quan, that is, the first county with administrative significance, and it was not the lord who managed it but the official position of the right Yin, which can be said to have created a precedent for centralized power. onclick="hui"
