Chapter 28: Winning the championship unexpectedly

Xu Ke in the audience saw that the two Sang warriors wanted to commit suicide, and hurriedly shouted: "No!" However, he was too far away and couldn't save each other in a hurry, and he saw a picture of blood splattered three feet. Unexpectedly, everyone suddenly saw a flash of white light on the high platform, and only heard two sounds of "Cang Changchang", and the long knives in the hands of the two warriors had been knocked away. There was a middle-aged man in a white robe on the field, and when the two warriors saw the white-robed man, they immediately knelt down and said respectfully: "General Yanagi!"

Yanagi angrily rebuked the two samurai who wanted to wait for seppuku: "It's just a contest of skills, the winner must not be arrogant, and the loser does not need to be discouraged! If everyone loses, they must be like you seppuku, I am afraid that the samurai of my Sang Kingdom will die!"

The two warriors were ashamed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "General, we know that we are wrong, let the general punish us!"

"Stand down first!" Liu Sheng commanded with a wave of the sleeves of his robe.

The two samurai silently retreated beyond the high platform. Liu Sheng stepped forward and picked up Zhu Wucang's arm, and shouted loudly: "The winner of this game, the great warrior, Zhu Wucan!"

Zhu Wuneng carried a three-toothed nail rake on his shoulder, his left hand held high, and his face was triumphant. When the spectators in the audience saw that the winner was actually a warrior of the Qianguo, most of them were indignant and indignant. A Sang warrior with a long sword was also angry, knowing that he was invincible, he still jumped on the stage to fight with Zhu Wuneng, and within three moves, the long sword in his hand had been beaten out by Zhu Inability's nail rake, and Zhu Wuneng won another game.

Next, two more contestants came on the field to challenge Zhu Wuneng, both of whom were waved by Zhu Wuineng's nail rake, and they were knocked off the stage in two or three moves. Zhu Wuneng carried a nail rake on his shoulder, and looked at the big Nayan Yoshida Akino sitting in the center of the viewing platform, and said in his heart, can't you see that you, an old man, look like an old monster, and can give birth to the most beautiful daughter in the world?

The warriors of the Sang Kingdom in the audience saw that Zhu Wuneng was so brave and thought that he was not an opponent, so no one dared to challenge him on stage. General Yanagi, as the adjudicator, stepped forward again, picked up Zhu Wu's incompetent left hand, and asked the audience: "Is there anyone else on the field to challenge? If there is no one, I will announce that this pig warrior is the number one in this sword fighting competition!"

As soon as Liu Sheng's words fell, someone in the audience said: "Slow!" Everyone saw that the word "slow" was still on his lips, and he was like a paper crane in the wind, floating on the high platform. I saw that the person who spoke, dressed in a dark robe, was a young man of twenty years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and an extremely handsome face.

The spectators in the audience originally looked at Zhu Wuneng's fat body, fat intestines and brain, and swaggered on the stage, looking arrogant with no one in his eyes, and most of them were not very happy. Seeing that he was about to win the championship in the end, everyone was anxious and disappointed, and suddenly saw a young man jumping on the high platform to fight with him. The audience immediately applauded and cheered......

After the man in the black shirt got on the stage, he gave Zhu Wuneng a slight bow, and said apologetically: "Brother Pig, Shan Mou just drank with you and Brother Xu in the cloud of flowers, but I didn't expect that after only ten days, we met again......"

Zhu Wuneng snorted coldly, raised his head and said: "Don't talk nonsense, if you want to fight, you can fight!"

The man in the black shirt took out a glittering blue sword from his back, raised the sword and lifted it, and did not forget to say before he started: "Brother Pig, I have offended!"

......

"North of the mountain?" As soon as Xu Ke saw that person, he recognized the person with whom he had drunk on the night of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. He secretly said in his heart, he can't see that this mountain boy looks like a weak scholar, and he is so good at light skills! Last night, he had a booze with me and his face did not change, so calmly and magnanimously, I expected that his swordsmanship must be good, and the second brother should be careful!

He Mao next to him seemed to see Xu Ke's thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Brother Xu, do you recognize this person?

Xu Ke shook his head and said, "This person ...... I don't know!"

On the high platform at this moment, the north of the mountain and Zhu Wuneng have already fought together. Zhu Wuneng has strong strength, and the three-toothed nail rake is a divine weapon cast by cold iron, and he can only hear the nail rake dancing in the wind, whirring. Zhu Wucan's "Xiang Wang Three Styles" is powerful, the nail rake is waving up and down, and the moves are wide open and closed, and all the spectators in the audience can't help but pinch a cold sweat for the north of the mountain.

However, the north of the mountain is light and agile, and he is not able to touch Zhu Wu. I saw that his footwork was light and his posture was agile. A long, thin figure was erratic, flickering left and right, and a long sword with a cold light swung diagonally forward, up and down. Although every time the long sword touched the nail rake, it was a "ding" sound, and it was opened by the nail rake, but the long sword also seemed to be a treasure, and wherever the sword light went, it was so bright that Zhu Wuneng could barely open his eyes. The blade of the sword was extremely sharp, and if he accidentally touched it, Zhu Wuneng would inevitably break his skin and bleed. Yes, the layman looked at it and thought that Zhu Wuneng had the upper hand, and under the closer look, the insiders already understood that if the situation on the field continued, when Zhu Wucan's strength gradually exhausted, it would be the moment of defeat.

Xu Ke under the high platform could see it clearly, knowing that the long sword in the north of the mountain was so sharp, and the moves were so exquisite, and from time to time there was a burst of dazzling golden light. It stands to reason that the second brother has long been unable to resist, and he is still struggling to support himself at this time, which is all relying on his brute strength and a three-toothed nail rake in his hand.

"This person's sword is really powerful, and it can actually use the light of the outside world to refract bursts of dazzling strong light! Brother Xu, you see, Brother Zhu is almost unable to hold on......" He Mao next to him reminded.

Xu Ke saw that the second brother on the high platform had already lost the upper hand, and the more he fought to the back, the more he sweated and panted, obviously he couldn't hold on, he hurriedly shouted to the north of the mountain: "Brother Shan, be merciful under the sword!" My second brother admits defeat......

Sure enough, the long sword in the north of the mountain slashed to the right, and Zhu Wuneng saw a burst of dazzling golden light on the sword's body, and couldn't help but close his eyes, and subconsciously nailed the rake and struck forward, making a move

"Nai Ruo Hexi", the three-toothed nail rake flew like a wind, protecting his upper body. The north of the mountain took advantage of the situation and the tip of the sword slid down, and gently slashed on Zhu Wuneng's right arm, how sharp that long sword was, Rao is north of the mountain did not use all his strength, and Zhu Wuneng's right arm had also been cut open by the boss. Suddenly, Zhu Wucan's right arm was full of blood, he couldn't hold it, and the nail rake immediately let go, and a fat body also "smack" and retreated, and fell to the ground.

Zhu Wuneng's fight with the north of the mountain, although it was not long, but their exquisite moves emerged one after another, and only those insiders in the audience held their breath and did not dare to make a sound. Everyone saw that Zhu Wucan't nail the rake fiercely, the long sword in the north of the mountain was light and agile, the two were fat and thin, one was fierce and the other was light, one was all good at strength, and the other won purely by skill. In the end, the long sword of the north of the mountain swung a semicircle in the air, seeing that his posture was still light and graceful, like a beautiful woman dancing, but in a moment, he beat the nail rake in Zhu Wuneng's hand and cut Zhu Wuneng's right arm, forcing Zhu Wuneng to fall backwards and fall...... This change was hasty, which was beyond everyone's expectations, and when everyone saw that Zhu Wuyi fell to the ground, and the north of the mountain floated forward with a sword, they couldn't help but applaud loudly and cheered again and again......

"Brother Shan, Hugh hurts my second brother!" Xu Ke saw that Zhu Wu's incompetence was in a critical situation, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately jumped onto the high platform. He hurriedly ran to Zhu Wuneng, helped his second brother up, and tore off a strip of cloth from himself to bandage Zhu Wuneng. He asked with concern, "Second brother, it doesn't matter to you!"

Fortunately, Zhu Wuneng was only lightly brushed by the blade, and although he shed some blood, it was fine. At this time, Zhu Wuneng waved his hand, picked up his three-toothed nail rake from the ground, waved it towards the north of the mountain, and said angrily: "You little white face, relying on the sword will shine, what kind of ability is it to win me like this, I am not convinced, let's come again!"

Shanzhibei laughed and said: "Brother Zhu, don't you also rely on the nail rake made of thousand-year-old cold iron in your hand? If you are empty-handed, I won't use a sword, let's fight again, so that you can lose convincingly, how about it?"

At this time, General Yanagi came up to the stage, raised his left hand in the north of the mountain, and announced in a loud voice: "The winner of this battle is this samurai!" The audience immediately cheered again, and everyone thought that this north of the mountain was a swordsman native to the country of San. As long as the people of Sang defeated the warriors of Qianguo, everyone present would feel extremely excited......

Zhu Wuneng opened the nail rake with his right hand, and wanted to go up again. Xu Ke scolded: "Second brother, you have already lost, don't mess around, retreat!"

Zhu Wuneng was extremely aggrieved and said: "Big brother, I'm so good, how can I be regarded as losing?! I accidentally fell into his way just now!" After that, he looked at the big man Yoshida Akino on the viewing platform, as if he was "extremely reluctant" to him. This "strong affection" was almost moved even by Yoshida Dayan......

"Second brother, you have won so many warriors of the Sang Kingdom just now, and you have enough limelight! This son of the north of the mountain, his swordsmanship seems to be soft, but in fact, he has endless tricks, you are not his opponent, go down!" Xu Ke persuaded.

"No, big brother, either I'll fight him again, or you will fight! I can't get out of this evil breath today, and my old Zhu won't go down!" Zhu Wuneng still hated and hated, ignoring the cheers of the spectators in the venue.

"Okay, good! Big brother promises you, you go down quickly......" Xu Ke had no choice but to agree to his second brother, just like coaxing a three-year-old child, and finally coaxed Zhu Wuneng to jump off the high platform.

As soon as Zhu Wuneng landed, He Mao stepped forward to inspect the injury on his right arm. He untied the strip of cloth that Xu Ke had tied, took out a piece of white paper from his arms, linked his hands, and folded it. Zhu Wuneng was puzzled and said: "Lao He, right now, my arm is bleeding because of that little white face, what can you do even if you fold out of the pavilion Michiko......?"

Zhu Wuneng's mind suddenly flashed the image of Michiko stretching her lips lightly, helping herself suck the blood, and then taking out the scarf and slowly bandaging herself, that picture was so wonderful that Zhu Wuneng said in a straight voice: "Okay, good......!

No, He Mao just folded the white paper into a long strip, and he chanted a spell in his mouth for a year, while holding the long piece of paper tightly against the sword wound on Zhu Wuneng's right arm. After only a few moments, Zhu Wucan's right arm bleed, and even the pain disappeared.

"Okay?" Zhu Wuneng touched his right arm, looked at the long piece of paper again, and couldn't help but feel amazing, so he asked He Mao: "Old He, is this ...... What kind of spell is this?"

He Mao smiled: "This is also a kind of divine technique, after that piece of paper was cast by me to cast a spell, it will have spiritual power, and she can help you heal." It's just that, Brother Zhu, I only helped you stop the bleeding temporarily, your sword wound has not healed, and then, you should be careful with the movements of your right arm, don't affect the wound......"

"Hehehe, Lao He, I can't see that you are not small, I want to thank you well!" Zhu Wuneng actually bowed to He Mao and thanked him.

......

Xu Ke on the stage saw that Zhu Wuneng had been persuaded to leave, so he also wanted to jump off the high platform, but was dragged by Liu Sheng behind him. Liu Sheng whispered to him and whispered: "Brother Xu, don't leave yet, today's Kyoto Sword Fighting Conference is indispensable to you!"

Xu Ke turned around and was about to ask, but General Liu Sheng ignored the doubts on his face, suddenly raised Xu Ke's left hand, and shouted to the crowd under the high platform:

"The next challenger, Xu Sano, from our Kusangkuni Shimono County!"

There was a burst of cheers in the crowd suddenly, just because they saw that Xu Ke was long and jade, with a graceful figure, except for a big green hat that was a little abrupt, he was also a dignified and chic beautiful man. Now the last two sword fighters on the stage are all so handsome, and they are local warriors in Sang Country, and the spectators in the audience can't help but be excited.

"Xu Zuo Nan?

It's become such a name?" Xu Ke scratched his forehead and asked Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng winked at Xu Ke, as if to say that you will understand later. He suddenly waved his hand to the sky again, and said to Xu Ke to the north of the mountain: "The decisive battle of this Kyoto Sword Fighting Conference, two, please!" With that, he returned to his viewing platform and took his seat.

At this moment, only Shanzhibei and Xu Ke were left on the field. When it was time for the decisive battle, all the spectators in the audience also held their breath and stared closely at the two sword-fighting people on the stage.

Unexpectedly, to everyone's surprise, the atmosphere in the audience was already so tense. The two people on the stage both stared at each other with smiles, as if they were two old friends who had not met for a long time, and they suddenly met here today. They stood on a high platform in the wind, their clothes dancing with the wind, but their long bodies were almost motionless. Neither of them drew their swords, nor did they speak, but looked at each other, their eyes full of smiles, and that burst of laughter was like spring flowers blooming and spring water flowing......

The spectators off the field were so nervous that they didn't even dare to come out. The sword-fighting people on the field were smiling and staring. At the scene of the entire Kyoto Sword Fighting Tournament, up and down the high platform, there was no sound at this time, as if even the sound of the tip of the needle falling to the ground could be faintly heard. But the two people on the field still didn't draw their swords, they were still staring at each other, and even the smiles in their eyes didn't change at all......

At this time, Xu Ke naturally kept thinking about it in his mind. He remembered that ten days ago, he drank with Shanzhibei in the "Lotte Residence" and "Huayun Building" overnight, which was the most alcohol in his life. Although he was drunk afterwards and had slight discomfort in his chest and abdomen, it was rare to get drunk a few times in his life, and after that heavy drinking, he and the beautiful young man opposite suddenly felt like a confidant. I didn't want to meet in the ring again today. He secretly thought to himself in his heart, this person has a very high amount of alcohol, the sword moves are extremely fast, a sword can also shine with shining golden light, confusing people's eyes, this body of kung fu is already above himself, and there is a sword in his hand to help, today's situation is already less victorious and more defeated. However, since General Yanagi had pushed him to the front of the stage, he had no choice but to fight hard. At the same time, he also had a trace of desire to regain some face for his injured second brother.

In this way, Xu Ke thought to himself in his heart, and he and Shanzhibei kept looking at each other on the high platform. When he saw that the north of the mountain had never drawn his sword, he did not draw it. If the north of the mountain does not speak, he will not speak. Until about half a moment later, Shanzhibei suddenly turned to face the viewing platform and said loudly: "I lost today's sword fight!"

As soon as the words of the north of the mountain fell, he turned around and jumped, and his long figure fluttered up, and the person was like a crane in the wind, and there was no trace. Xu Ke seemed to hear a thin voice like a gossamer in the north of the mountain echoing in his ears: "Brother Xu, that night in Huayunlou, I thank you for your help in poetry, so that I am fortunate to have a spring breeze with a beautiful woman, and today I will return your favor......

This change was unexpected, everyone in the audience was waiting to see a peerless sword fight, but at this time, they were disappointed to see the north of the mountain fleeing without a fight. For a time, there are regrets, regrets, and curses, and there must be insiders in the secret channel......

General Liu Sheng ignored the noise from the audience, and suddenly arrived in front of Xu Ke's eyes. Without waiting for Xu Ke to sort out his thoughts, he raised Xu Ke's left hand and shouted loudly to everyone in the audience: "On the order of the Holy Lord, Yanagi hereby announces that the first place in this year's Kyoto Sword Fighting Conference, the strongest swordsman in my Sang Country, is Xu Zuo of Shimono County!"

"Susanoo, Susanoo!" the audience cheered again. This is also the rule of the previous Kyoto Sword Fighting Tournaments. Once the adjudicator announced the winner, the audience erupted in cheers. Everyone must shout with earth-shattering cheers and pay his greatest respect to the strongest. It's just that the cheers and shouts at this year's sword fighting conference are worse than any other session in the past......

Xu Ke didn't know the details, and saw a group of spectators in the audience shouting loudly a name that had nothing to do with him. Everyone's faces were full of excitement and envy, and he couldn't help scratching his forehead, and for a while, he felt at a loss. Liu Sheng pulled Xu Ke's arm and said, "Brother Xu, come with me!"

Yanagi brought Xu Ke to the front of Kuwakoku Nayan Yoshida Akino, who was seated in the middle of the viewing platform. Liu Sheng gave Xu Ke a look, suggesting that he kneel down and salute. Xu Ke only bowed his hand slightly, and said: "Under Xu Ke, I have seen Lord Yoshida!"

Nayoshida Akino is a role in Kuwakuni that is one person under ten thousand people. Over the years, he has been in the ascendancy of his holy family, and the emperor has obeyed everything he has played. The government and the opposition are also the only ones who look ahead. He originally saw that Xu Ke was born with a dignified appearance, and he felt quite happy in his heart. At this moment, seeing Xu Ke's arrogance, he didn't bow down when he saw him. He was a little unhappy in his heart, so he snorted coldly and said, "It's good for young people to be arrogant, but don't be too arrogant! In the future, you will be my son-in-law, and you need to know some of these etiquette and rules!"

"I'll do your ...... Son-in-law?!" Xu Ke scratched his forehead, not knowing how to answer for a while.

"Xu Zuojun, don't you thank Da Nayan soon, he has approved your marriage!" Liu Sheng next to him hurriedly pushed Xu Ke and reminded.

"My ...... Marriage?" Xu Ke's mind was even more confused.

Yoshida Akino's face was already even more gloomy, he saw that Xu Ke at this time did not even kneel down, if it wasn't for the emperor's previous decree, the first in this sword fighting conference could marry his youngest daughter. At this moment, he is afraid that he has already turned his face and denied it. Rao was like this, he still snorted with his nostrils to the sky, ignored everyone, and walked away.

I only heard Yoshida Akino's gloomy and unhappy voice coming from behind him:

"Today, come to my house and marry the little girl!"

Xu Ke scratched his forehead vigorously, and his heart became more and more confused:

"Consummated?...... Today!"
