It turned out that Zhai Changping and Lu Desheng were cousins.

Lu Desheng is a native of Jingzhao County, Yongzhou, his parents passed away last winter, leaving him only a push of debts, he can't repay the debt, and there are no other relatives in Chang'an City, in order to avoid debt collection, he entered Chang'an City, pretended to be a beggar and mixed in the victims, and lived carefully.

Zhai Changping is an orphan, since he was a child, he received the favor of the Lu family, never forgotten, and later he went to Liangzhou to break through, and came back many years later to participate in the martial arts conference, only to find that the people of the Lu family were dead, leaving only a cousin Lu Desheng who was hiding in Tibet.

With the help of his cousin, Lu Desheng paid off his debts and didn't have to continue to pretend to be a beggar, but he always remembered Li Wuchang who saved him.

He inquired for a long time before he found out Li Wuchang's identity, but unfortunately he didn't have a chance to meet him, until today, his cousin helped.

"Li Gongzi cares a lot about the results of the martial arts conference?" After chatting for a while, Zhai Changping asked about Li Wuchang.

"How can Brother Zhai see it?" Li Wuchang asked rhetorically.

"I have been in Liangzhou for many years, and I know countless people, although I have not been in contact with Brother Li for a long time, but I also know that Brother Li is by no means the kind of layman as rumored, and Brother Li has been in five rounds in a row, how can he be an idle person. Zhai Changping said.

Li Wuchang smiled bitterly: "Then you must have heard that I have no martial arts, I only used my hand once in five rounds, and I won by playing tricks." ”

Zhai Changping glanced at Li Wuchang meaningfully, and said in a low voice: "If Li Gongzi really has no martial arts, how can he even practice internal skills when he is drinking?"

Li Wuchang was shocked in his heart and looked at Zhai Changping levelly.

The fact that he can practice internal strength anytime and anywhere is extremely secret, only Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun know, and since he came back from Nanshan, Li Wuchang has always been very careful, for fear that others will know that he knows martial arts, and last time he accidentally exposed the ghost shadow step and provoked the kidnapping of the Hanshui Gang.

When he was drinking just now, Li Wuchang was indeed practicing internal skills, and his movements were already very careful.

How could this Zhai Changping know?

Who the hell is he?

Could it be for some purpose?

Zhai Changping saw Li Wuchang's smile disappear, and hurriedly said: "Li Gongzi, please don't misunderstand, I have seen other masters cultivate like this in the next century, so I guessed casually, Li Gongzi, please rest assured, I will never reveal this matter." ”

After that, he looked at Li Wuchang with a sincere face.

Zhai Changping has been in Liangzhou for many years, has read countless people, and has a sensitive mind, knowing that Li Wuchang must have a hard time not revealing his martial arts.

In addition, he had an unfathomable impression of Li Wuchang.

You must know that most of the people who can practice internal strength anytime and anywhere are top masters, not only with excellent understanding, but also with far more tenacity than anyone can do.

Li Wuchang showed a wry smile and sighed: "I didn't expect Brother Zhai to have such a good eyesight, I might as well tell the two of you that my father gave me a task to let me qualify from the fifth group, and if I fail, there will be big trouble waiting for me, due to some special reasons, I am inconvenient to disclose my martial arts, and I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the task, so I am very troubled." ”

paused: "The opponent in the next round is Brother Zhai, it seems that I am more than lucky." ”

Seeing Li Wuchang confessing like this, Zhai Changping had a good impression and said: "It's still simple, I have always wanted to repay Li Gongzi for my cousin, and we will have to act in a play in the next round." ”

"It's not good, it's about to qualify, this is a big loss for Brother Zhai, you can repay it at any time, you don't have to joke about your future. Li Wuchang frowned.

It's not that Li Wuchang is noble, if Li Wuchang doesn't know this Zhai Changping, he will definitely find a way to make a trick.

It's a pity that Li Wuchang has a relationship with his cousin Lu Desheng, and he can't get started, and Li Wuchang has a good impression of Zhai Changping, and he doesn't want him to repay him with his future.

Zhai Changping waved his hand and said: "My martial arts are not very good, the fifth grade is only at the beginning level, if Li Gongzi goes all out, it should be easy to clean me up, and besides, people with a discerning eye can see that the overall strength of the fifth group is very average, and after qualifying, it will be easily put down by people from other groups in one round." ”

Li Wuchang said again: "That being said, but ......"

Zhai Changping interrupted: "Now there are about thirty people left in each group, and there are more than three hundred people in the ten groups, except for the son of the big family, the rest of the people should have entered the sight of the imperial court, so now it will not affect the future, and I don't expect to enter the martial arts pavilion, and I hope that Li Gongzi will not shirk and give me a chance." ”

Indeed, the first few hundred will be arranged by the imperial court to work in various departments, and even transferred to the front line as small leaders.

Lu Desheng also nodded and said, "Yes, Li Gongzi!"

Li Wuchang and Zhai Changping talked to this point, so he had to say: "Then even if I owe the two of you a favor, what is the use of me in the future, just give me orders." ”

Zhai Changping said with a smile: "Li Gongzi, don't say that, this is just a gesture for me, I can help you in the sixth round, but the last round will depend on you." ”

Li Wuchang nodded, raised his glass to toast, and pleaded: "In the matter of martial arts in the next meeting, I hope that the two of you will ......."

Before he finished speaking, Zhai Changping and Lu Desheng patted their chests and said that they would never leak out.

......

April 26, the sixth round of the martial arts conference.

Li Wuchang played against Zhai Changping, and there were many audiences, including relatives and friends, fox friends and dog friends from all walks of life, and enemies who tried to see the jokes in vain.

Little did they know that they would see the performance of the two actors.

In the ring.

Li Wuchang was carrying a golden wire ring knife on his shoulder, majestic, and looked at Zhai Changping with slanted eyes.

Zhai Changping did not show weakness, holding a long sword, pointing at Li Wuchang from afar.

There was a scene of confrontation between masters, most of the audience applauded loudly, and a small part of the audience sneered again and again.

"Hahaha, I met a master in the last round, which caused me to suffer serious internal injuries, I wanted to abstain in this round, but I didn't expect to run into you Li Wuchang, it seems that God still favors me Zhai someone. Zhai Changping's arrogant voice sounded, and he didn't take Li Wuchang into account at all.

"Uncle Ben is also a ruthless character who has passed five rounds in a row, how can he be afraid of you as a nobody, it's a joke. Li Wuchang is even more arrogant, looking at people with his chin.

"Who doesn't know that you Li Wuchang is a cunning and shameless person, throwing bricks and sprinkling lime, and bribing opponents in the ring, hmph, let me tell you, all of this is useless to me. Zhai Changping immediately exposed the insidious nature of Li Wuchang.

"Look at the knife......" Li Wuchang was too lazy to talk nonsense, and killed him with a golden wire ring knife.

Zhai Changping also rushed forward and swung his sword to attack.

The two faced each other, slashing indiscriminately, and the audience was addicted, and the applause came and went.

In the ring, Li Wuchang was like a reckless man, wielding a big knife and slashing indiscriminately, insiders knew at a glance that he was a stunned young man who did not understand martial arts, and now he was fighting with brute strength.

On the other hand, Zhai Changping is much sharper, and when he sees the moves, he looks at the board at a glance, but his steps are slightly staggering.

"It seems that Zhai Changping really suffered serious internal injuries in the last round of the competition, otherwise Li Wuchang's stunned young man would have been defeated a long time ago. "Some people look at it and make a point.

"That's true, looking at Zhai Changping's footsteps and the rhythm of swinging his sword, you can know that he has suffered internal injuries, but even so, Li Wuchang has no chance of winning. "Someone analyzed.

"Li Wuchang is only fighting with brute force now, and he will be weak after a while. Someone chimed in.

After more than ten moves, the plot suddenly changed.

"Poof......!" Zhai Changping suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The audience exclaimed.

"Hahaha, it turns out that your internal injuries are so serious, how arrogant are you!" Li Wuchang chased after the victory, and laughed wildly.

Secretly admired, this Zhai Changping is really a genius of acting, this big mouthful of red paint sprayed out of his mouth, it was so realistic, it seemed that he really suffered serious internal injuries at a glance.

Zhai Changping was like an actor possessed, walking staggeringly, his hands and feet seemed weak, and his long sword was waved wildly, as if he wanted to quickly solve Li Wuchang.

Li Wuchang just didn't hit the front, a knife from the east, and a kick from the west, so that Zhai Changping could only defend passively.

After more than a dozen moves, Li Wuchang seized an opportunity to fly up and kick Zhai Changping out of the ring to end the game.

"Li Wuchang, if it weren't for Zhai someone's serious internal injuries in the last round, he would definitely not lose to you!" Zhai Changping, who fell out of the ring, first wiped the corners of his mouth, and then yelled at the stage, very unconvinced.

What answered him was Li Wuchang's shameless laughter.

Everyone didn't suspect that the two were acting, but they just sighed that Li Wuchang's luck was really good, and he finally met a decent opponent, but he was seriously injured in the last round and was taken advantage of by him.

No one expected that Li Wuchang's luck was not over.

Because the qualification is imminent, in the sixth round of the game, everyone used their strength to eat milk and fight with all their might, and there were not a few who were seriously injured.

Of the sixteen people who advanced to the fifth group, three suffered quite serious internal injuries, and one of them only had half a life left when he stepped down, and the doctor announced that he was no longer able to participate in the next round of the competition and was out of the competition early.

In this way, there are fifteen people left, and there is still the last round of the group stage, and if you choose eight out of fifteen, you will have a bye.

Li Wuchang wanted to get the bye very much, but unfortunately it was taken away by others, and he sighed for a while.

However, he was also lucky, although he didn't get a bye, he did draw a seriously injured person.

On the day of the game, Li Wuchang stepped into the ring and was ready to play tricks, who knew that not long after the opponent came to the stage, when he just put on a posture and wanted to attack, his legs were weak, he fell down like that, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then fell unconscious.

The referee immediately asked people to carry him out of the ring and instructed the doctor to treat him, and after the doctor diagnosed, he said that this person was injured in the last round of fighting, and it is very rare to be able to survive until now, and he must be treated immediately, otherwise there will be endless trouble.

Li Wuchang, who was standing on the stage, was completely stunned.

This shit luck was unexpected!
