Chapter 11 Awards and Annual Salaries
Zheng Yun stepped forward to grab a few swords, and was about to retreat and stand with his sword, taking a few breaths to recover his strength.
Cai Gang desperately blocked Zheng Yun's attack, and when he was in the air, he also supported his knee with one hand and his sword with the other, supporting his body hard, trying to squeeze out the last trace of strength from his body to block the next wave of attacks.
Zheng Yun, who had good stamina, finally gained the upper hand and slapped Cai Gang to the ground with his sword.
After announcing Zheng Yun's victory, Feng Liang helped Cai Gang, who could barely stand up, to the sidelines.
At the end of the first day, Ding Kui, Xu Bin and Zheng Yun were qualified to continue the competition.
Lu Ji commented on everyone's performance, and Ding Kui was the only one who was praised.
Only he comprehended the essentials of the knight's swordsmanship, both offensive and defensive, and the competition at the same level was who could fight to the end, and after the opponent's strong attack revealed a flaw, he could quickly counterattack and seize the fighter to defeat the opponent.
And Cai Gang will only defend simply, and if he doesn't attack, he won't have a chance to win.
The next day, Ding Kui drew a lot, and this round of Xiaobi had a bye, and Zheng Yun faced Xu Bin.
Due to Zheng Yun's excessive consumption on the first day, and Xu Bin easily took Lin Bi, there was no consumption, and the two who were originally very close in strength were defeated due to lack of physical strength after seven or eight minutes of fierce fighting.
After the end of the competition, Zheng Yun pulled Ding Kui and said secretly: "Today I suffered a loss in physical strength, losing to Xu Bin, but I fought hard with him when I fought, and his physical strength was also consumed. ”
"Senior sister, please rest assured, even if Senior Brother Xu has full physical strength, I am confident that I will win the battle. Ding Kui patted his chest as a reassurance.
Ding Kui, who had awakened in half a year, had thoroughly mastered this body, including the martial arts that the main soul had learned when he was asleep, and the fusion of memories gave him a deeper understanding of his teacher's swordsmanship.
On the last day of Xiaobi, Ding Kui and Xu Bin both came to the competition in good spirits.
After Feng Liang announced the start, neither of them rushed to attack, you stare at me, I stare at you in a circle in the center of the field.
Xu Bin is only one year older than Ding Kui, and his height is about one centimeter taller, with the same black hair and pointed chin, but his eyes are slightly smaller, and he still has a single eyelid.
After the first day of competition, Xu Bin knew that this little junior brother was not so easy to deal with, and he would lose in his hands if he was not careful.
Xu Bin couldn't help but attack, Ding Kui waved his long sword to counterattack him, and he was forced to jump away.
As long as Ding Kui blocked Xu Bin's attack, he immediately counterattacked Xu Bin's lower road, forcing Xu Bin's footwork to mess up.
When Xu Bin's footwork was messed up, Ding Kui changed his steady style of play and began to attack with swords, forcing the sword moves in Xu Bin's hands to start messy. In the end, Ding Kui grabbed a flaw, and another swirling slash, slashing Xu Bin's sword.
This is Ding Kui's own research style, he is not tall, his arms are not long, and it will be very disadvantageous to attack the opponent's body directly, so he takes the opponent's weapon as the target of the attack, first induces the opponent's arm strength to disperse, and then uses his whole body to split the opponent's weapon, and finally wins.
Zheng Yun and Lin Bi jumped out for the first time to congratulate Ding Kui on his victory, although Xu Bin was defeated, he also admitted that his skills were inferior, and sincerely congratulated this little junior brother for winning the small competition, only Ouyang Chong and Cai Gang looked at Ding Kui who accepted the congratulations of the same door in the center of the field.
Lu Ji motioned to Feng Liang to bring an all-red pure-blooded thunder horse, announced in public that Ding Kui had won the first place in the year-end competition, and handed over the horse to Ding Kui with his own hands.
Ding Kui jumped on the horse excitedly and rode his first horse to run on the playground of Heifanzhai.
Back in his yard, Ding Kui saw the housekeeper waiting for him, so he asked curiously, "Grandpa Kun, is my father back?"
The housekeeper Ding Kun is said to have followed Ding Kui's grandfather Ding Dao to the battlefield back then, and he was a fierce pawn who came out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses.
He is sixty years old this year, with gorgeous hair, a wide face, and a height about the same as that of his senior brother Fengliang, and although his body is not covered with muscle bumps, he looks very strong.
"The master hasn't come back yet, the old slave is here to tell the young master something. ”
"Oh. Ding Kui was a little happy in his heart.
After recovering his memory, Ding Kui often thought of his parents on Earth, and he felt a little awkward about this father in the Shenyuan Continent.
"Next year's annual salary is going to be paid, and the old slave has to go to the county town, and he has to buy some things along the way, and he will come back in a few days. Ding Kun explained his intentions.
All the states and counties and nobles in the Shaodian Kingdom had to send a year's tax revenue to the capital before the New Year. The annual salary of the Ding family was previously issued by the Shaodian State Clan, and after moving to Xiaxi Town, it was allocated from the taxes paid by Pingzhong County.
"Ah, isn't I the only one left in the house?" Ding Kui was not prepared at all.
In the past, Ding Qi and Ding Kun would always have someone to stay at home, although there were not many people in the old mansion, but Ding Kui had never been a homemaker.
"Hehe, young master, you will be the head of the Ding family in the future, this guarding the family business is the first priority, I have arranged the trivial matters, you just take care of yourself. After speaking, the housekeeper pointed at Jiang Shunchuan, "You come with me." ”
The housekeeper and Jiang Shunchuan left the small courtyard, leaving Ding Kui, who was still in a daze.
"This is the key to the houses and gates in the front yard, you have to make sure the young master is safe for the next few days since I am away, and if anything happens, you will contact Baron Ruchi, I know you have a way to contact him. The housekeeper took out a bunch of keys and handed them to Jiang Shunchuan.
Lu Ji was able to be promoted to a second-class baron, and Jiang Tong, the patriarch, secretly made a lot of efforts, and outsiders may not know, but he knew in his heart that he had the mark of the Jiang family.
Jiang Shunchuan is the person from Jiang Mansion, and since he was sent to Ding Kui's side, there must be a way to contact Lu Ji.
"Don't worry, the young master's safety is more important than my life, I have laid traps all over the town, no matter how bad it is, I can cover the young master's escape. Jiang Shunchuan replied honestly.
In the past few years, Jiang Shunchuan has not been idle, he has written down the terrain of this Xiaxi Town, and arranged it in each hypothetical attack direction.
"Okay, I'll hand over the Ding family's old mansion to you, if something goes wrong, hehe, even the Jiang family can't protect you." After speaking, the housekeeper's eyes narrowed, and a murderous aura suddenly emanated from his body, which approached Jiang Shunchuan.
Jiang Shunchuan felt unable to move, the air around his body seemed to be frozen, and a strong smell of blood rushed straight to his nose and forehead, like a battlefield in a sea of corpses and blood.
"Definitely, definitely, don't dare, don't dare. Jiang Shunchuan broke out in a cold sweat.
This is the suppression of rank, and he, a small archer with third-level combat power, has no room to fight back in front of a fifth-level combat power slashing warrior.
"Well, you go back. The butler withdrew the murderous aura and waved his hand.
As soon as his body was loosened, Jiang Shunchuan almost fell to the ground, and after standing firmly, he quickly slipped back to Ding Kui's courtyard. When he returned to the small courtyard, he was drenched with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
The Ding family was ambushed eleven years ago, and Jiang Shunchuan knew a little about the situation.
There were more than a hundred bodies of attackers at the scene, including knights, samurai, and archers, all of whom were fifth-level masters, and only Ding Qi and his son escaped at that time, as well as Ding Kun, the old butler who usually looked very kind.
At that time, no one knew about the fierce battle except Ding Qi and Ding Kun, but it was certain that there must be more than one fifth-level master who died at Ding Kun's hands.
Facing Ding Kun's murderous aura and not being scared out of the and urine, Jiang Shunchuan felt that his nerves were strong enough.
Early the next morning, Steward Ding took two slaves and left Xiaxi Town in a carriage and rushed to Pingzhong County.
In a dense forest outside the Black Earth City, the second master of Funiu Mountain sat in front of a fire and roasted the fire, surrounded by his hardcore henchmen Zhao brothers, Wang Goudan and Zhou Baishan.
Zhao Dameng slapped his neck, slapped a mosquito to death, turned his hand and looked at it, his mouth was crooked, and he said to the second master: "Second master, I said that it should snow on our mountain, there are still mosquitoes in this ghost place." ”
"Well, I guess it will go down in the next two days, and it will be warmer here in Black Earth City than ours, why are you like a girl, can't you resist mosquito bites with fine skin and tender meat." The second boss kicked Boss Zhao and scolded with a smile.
Zhao Ermeng laughed, stretched out his hand and pushed his eldest brother, and coaxed on the side: "Big brother, this mosquito will suck your blood at most, do you want to go back to the cottage and let your sister-in-law suck you into a human being?" ”
Suddenly, a whistle came, Zhou Baishan listened to it, and said with relief: "It should be He Lao Liu's return." ”
Not long after, Gao Laixi, who was on guard on the periphery, came back with He Laoliu, who went into the city to inquire about the news.
"Tell the second master, the carriage that Steward Ding was sitting in passed through Black Earth City today and went in the direction of the county town. He Lao Liu was dressed as a peddler, and the cloth bag on his shoulder was full of jerky.
"Are you sure that Marquis Ding is not at home?" the second master asked.
"Yes, it has been determined that Marquis Ding was not in Xiaxi Town a few months ago, and he has not yet appeared. ”
"Okay, that's great, we've been out for almost a month, and now we finally have a chance to do it. The second master stood up excitedly.
He looked around at the people around him and made a gesture of leaning closer.
"Listen now, the big boss specially assigned me this time to bring you to do this vote, and the target is Ding Kui, the only son of the Marquis of the Protector.
This was a secret operation, so after we descended the mountain, we didn't even ride horses, and we traveled more than 300 kilometers day and night, just to prevent others from knowing our whereabouts.
Although the Protector has lost power in the court, he is still a first-class family in the country, and if our actions are exposed, it will cause great trouble in the mountains.
Now you take out all the things that will reveal your identity, bury them here, and come back to get them when the operation is over. After speaking, the second master asked He Lao Liu to put away everyone's things.
This small team can be regarded as the elite team of Funiu Mountain, the skills of the second master are second only to the big bosses, the Zhao brothers are real late-stage charge warriors, Gao Laixi and Zhou Baishan are mid-stage charge warriors, although Wang Goudan and He Lao Liu have just been promoted to charge warriors, one is good at poisoning and the other is good at disguise.
