Chapter 72, Aren't You Going to Duel with the Old Decay? (First Update)
Zhou Zengming's face was so gloomy at the moment that he could drip water, and the people of Steele were becoming more and more arrogant, and they didn't even give him face as a prefect. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This time, he came with an order from the Governor to discuss with the Rus' family the question of taxation for the Qur'an people in the concession.
But Barin Rose, the patriarch of the Ross family, has always been vain and has not given a clear answer at all.
As an adviser to the Ross family, General Will Kinstan relied on the old and betrayed the old and reprimanded Zhou Zengming.
Zhou Zengming is a dignified prefect, if it weren't for the task at this moment, he would have wanted to leave immediately.
At this moment, Ballinross stood up and patted Zhou Zengming's shoulder with a big grin.
"Prefect, please. Let's go sit down and watch the fight up close. ”
The two guards behind Zhou Zengming glared angrily, and this way of patting his shoulders behaved frivolously, just like a boss treating a subordinate.
Zhou Zengming sat on the chair, Bahrain was standing, and the position where he patted his shoulder was also close to the back of his neck, as if he was touching his head.
However, as they were on-duty guards, the adults didn't speak, since there was nothing to say.
Zhou Zengming stood up, his height difference was too much, and his momentum was much weaker, and then he squeezed out a dry smile:
"The patriarch of Bahrain, an old civil official, has no interest in these fights and killings, but I still want to ask Mr. Patriarch, what do you think of the tax regulations I just proposed?
Don't hide it from the patriarch, the ratio that General Will said before, this official will never be able to agree.
Even if the official nods, the Governor will not approve it. When he said a few words to the Governor, he clenched his fists slightly, and continued:
"Please take a step back, what does the patriarch think?"
In the country of Styland, all military and political power is in the hands of the big families, and it is more of an honorific title to be called the patriarch directly than to call them official titles.
After listening to Zhou Zengming's words, Balin Ross smiled and suddenly said:
"Lord Zhou, do you know that the people of Stylan, when they encounter disagreements, have a way of deciding things?"
Seeing that Zhou Zengming was at a loss, he continued:
"In our Styland," Bahrain tossed his white gloves on the table.
"If the two sides can't get along, just like me..."
"See, throw the gloves.
Then the two men take up arms and have a life-and-death duel..."
After he said this, Steeleland's side, including Will Kinstan and others, stood up and looked at Zhou Zengming with a smile.
Zhou Zengming's body was already thin and weak, and at this moment, facing the other party's aggressive more than a dozen big men, he felt bitter in his heart, but there was a solemnity on his face.
"Lord Balin, aren't you going to fight a duel with the old man?
The old body, not to mention compared with the Lord of Bahrain, is much inferior to my three-year-old grandson. ”
In his words, he clearly belittled himself, but in fact, he secretly put Balin Ross in the position of his grandchildren.
On Gulan's side, the leader of the Martial Alliance, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and the commander of the military region himself were all sitting at the "negotiation table", and at this moment, they all stood up and stood up one by one.
After listening to Governor Zhou's analogy, everyone laughed and felt that Governor Zhou was worthy of being a veteran of officialdom, and he was hiding a needle in his words.
Everyone looked at Bahrain with unkind faces, and then a voice said.
"Mr. Balin, if you want to fight a duel, I, Yue Xingshan, can represent Lord Zhou!"
Yue Xingshan's exact position is the deputy leader of the Tulip City Martial Arts Alliance, and he himself is also a martial arts powerhouse at the peak of the seventh stage of the professional stage, and his cultivation is in the realm of Yijin, and he has already touched the threshold of transforming strength.
At the moment he glared at Balin Ross.
He is a martial artist, the most bloody, if it weren't for this occasion, maybe Yue Xingshan would have directly thrown his fists at him.
Will Kingstan smiled and said: "Lord Yue, you have misunderstood the meaning of Lord Bahrain, Lord Bahrain and Lord Zhou are both people with status, how can they go to a duel with a reckless man?"
Lord Bahrain just wants to give the two sides an understanding through martial arts performances. ”
Yue Xingshan's face suddenly turned suffocated, but he didn't expect that the final burden was still on the side of Wumeng.
Before coming, the prefect had greeted him and asked Yue Xingshan to bring a few martial arts masters over, so as not to lose the prestige of Gulan in the banquet and fighting performance of the Ross family.
He thought it was just a simple martial arts contest.
I didn't expect to hear what they said at this time, it turned out that they were going to use the ring to decide the rights and interests of the concession area.
The burden is heavy.
He couldn't help but glance at Zhou Zengming, but found that the other party was also looking at him, with the meaning of inquiry in his eyes.
The two are also old acquaintances, and they both understand each other's thoughts at the moment - neither of them is sure.
Zhou Zengming was not sure that he could get back his rights and interests through table negotiations.
Yue Xingshan was also not sure that he would gain benefits through martial arts.
In the end, Yue Xingshan still nodded: "Lord Zhou, what foreigners say is not bad, why don't you give an explanation?"
Zhou Zengming looked at Yue Xingshan gratefully, and then turned to Balin Ross: "In that case... Let's follow the format of the fight. ”
Balin Ross had a subtle look of success in his eyes, and he smiled, "Then don't say much, hahaha, according to your Quran, 'it's a donkey or a horse, pull it out and slip away'." Let's go to the ring. ”
Then the crowd rushed out and walked to the ring.
Balin Rose and Zhou Zeng took the lead in the prefect's office, and the two walked hand in hand, and people who didn't know the truth thought that personal relations were good.
But I didn't know that under the surface of friendliness, there was an undercurrent volcano.
Yue Xingshan looked at the figures of the two people in front of him, frowned slightly, sighed, and followed.
As he walked, he asked a person behind him: "Officer Feng, this matter... Are you sure?"
The person known as Officer Feng is none other than the iron-legged Feng Song.
At this moment, the warriors from the Martial Alliance were all arranged by Feng Song, and he pondered for a moment:
"The people who came this time are some good seedlings of the Wumeng, and most of them are the top three in the previous Qianlong Cup. ”
"Hmm," Yue Xingshan nodded.
He also knew that Feng Song had already spent a lot of energy to invite the champions and runners-up of these Qianlong Cup.
At this moment, Feng Song suddenly let out a soft "huh".
Yue Xingshan heard Feng Song's voice and said, "What?"
Feng Song said: "I saw an old acquaintance, a good seedling found in the Qianlong Cup some time ago, who was a disciple of Jinyunmen. ”
Hearing the Golden Cloud Gate, Yue Xingshan's expression moved, and he looked over with Feng Song's gaze and saw the figure of a young man.
This person was wearing a well-tailored black suit, with a tall figure and a slightly green face, as if he was not very old.
This person is Li Wuxian.
Li Wuxian was holding a glass of wine at the moment, talking with several young people about twenty years old, and he was still being held by a woman on his arm.
Yue Xingshan secretly shook his head in his heart, he was young and did not quit women, and for martial arts, his achievements would be limited.
"Isn't it a disciple of the Golden Cloud Sect?"
He asked casually.
Feng Song shook his head and said, "It should be a true disciple." ”
Jinyunmen is the leading sect in Yujin City, and the eight-armed iron ape stone has been powerful and martial arts for many years, and it is a generation of grandmasters.
Is Shi Tong's true biography?
Yue Xingshan couldn't help but feel shocked. He didn't know that the eight-armed iron ape had another true disciple, so he was shocked when he heard this, and said:
"Oh, is it Song Gang or Lin Ziyue?"
thought in his heart, if it was Song Gang, then this ring would be nine out of ten.
I have heard for a long time that Song Gang of Jinyunmen is low-key, but his strength is already at the peak of the eighth stage, and he is known as the 'muffled tiger', he rarely makes a move, and he rarely shows up, but when he was young, he was overwhelmed by the group in the Qianlong Cup and won the championship with a huge advantage.
"If we can pull him, then we can be sure!"
couldn't help but glance at Li Wuxian a few more times.
"No, it's a newly accepted true disciple. ”
Yue Xingshan said: "The newly harvested... Who is it? That eight-armed iron ape didn't even hold a ceremony to accept the apprentice, it seems that it is a secret martial arts seed, you go and negotiate with him, and see if you can bring him over and serve my Gulan?"
"The alliance leader is wrong, I have seen this man fight. This person has entered the hall and has a golden bell jar for cultivation, but he is basically attacked by others in the ring, relying on hard skills to defend.
With this kind of play, it may be possible to deal with my Gulan warriors, but against a tall and large person like Stylan, it is self-defeating. ”
"Moreover, this person is a newcomer, not a secret seed inheritance, I checked in the Martial Alliance, and this person is only sixteen years old. ”
When Yue Xingshan heard this, he sighed in his heart, looked away, and said:
"Let Xinhai and Xiaoqi prepare well...... In this battle, we can only win... You can't be defeated. ”
"Yes, they've been waiting in the back for a long time. Feng Song said.
