Chapter 16: Discussion (2)

The next day, after bidding farewell to Concubine Xi, he went to the Zhao Balcony to gather with Xiong Huai and Xiong Yue's brothers and sisters, and went out of the palace together. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiangfu covers an area of not large, but the school martial arts field is not small, accounting for almost half of the area of Xiangfu. At this time, more than a dozen princes and grandsons stood on the side of the school martial arts field, their faces full of excitement.

Zhao Hua took the lead and said to everyone: "Everyone was invited by Xiang Gongzi to Xiang Mansion to learn martial arts this time, although it is a game, but since the ninth prince has a bounty, it must not be too casual, and a rule must be set." Otherwise, how can we compare the advantages and disadvantages of the random shots? Next, first determine the candidates for the competition, my opinion is, except for the Ninth Prince, Princess Yue'er and me, how about the rest of the competition to be played?"

"Why can't I play?" The first person to speak out against it was Xiong Yue. I saw that her handsome face was cloudy, and a pair of good-looking Danfeng eyes stared at Zhao Slip angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with not letting her play.

Zhao smiled awkwardly and looked at the Ninth Prince Xiong Huai in embarrassment. Of course, Xiong Huai knew his sister's temper, so he had to say helplessly: "Yue'er can participate if she wants to, but if you lose for a while, don't be ashamed." ”

"Hmph", Xiong Yue was also very dissatisfied with her brother's statement, brandished a pair of pink fists, and said angrily: "I won't lose, I'll let you see how powerful I am in a while." ”

Zhao Hua saw that Xiong Huai had spoken, and no one objected to Xiong Yue's participation in the competition, so he coughed lightly and continued: "With Princess Yue'er, there are a total of ten people in the competition. For the sake of simplicity, the competition adopts an elimination system. Five people won in the first round, one person had a bye in the second round, the remaining four won two more people, one person had a bye in the third round, the remaining four people won two people, and finally the remaining two people faced off, and the winner was the leader of the competition, and he could get a reward of ten gold from the nine princes. The opponent chooses to guess the coin. What do you think?"

Everyone had no objections, and Zhao Slip put forward two requirements, one is to learn from each other, the point is to the end, and not to hurt people with heavy hands. Second, if you use weapons, you should use wooden swords, wooden guns, and wooden sticks.

For these two requirements, although everyone felt that if this was the case, the competition would not be enjoyable. But considering that there are princes and princesses participating in the competition, once they are injured, good things will become bad things, so everyone acquiesced to this.

Guess the coin is presided over by Xiong Huai himself. At this time, the servants of the Xiang Mansion had already brought chairs and a desk, on which were stacked with tea and fruits. Xiong Huai sat comfortably in a chair, holding a clay pot with ten colored stones in it. There are five colors: red, white, black, yellow, and blue, and each color has two stones, and those who guess the same color are opponents of each other. Soon, the results of the first round came in. The matchups are as follows:

Xiang Bei played against Ren Tu, Qu Qi played against Ye Fei, Zhao Ziyu played against Xiong Qian, Huang Xie played against Xiong Yue, and Nineteen played against Uncle Zhao.

The first game was played by Xiang Bei and Ren Tu. Ren Tu and Shizi Xiong Qian are masters and servants on the surface, but they are actually brothers and sisters. Both of them worshiped under Ren Gongzi, the Taoist patriarch of the Southern Dahao generation, and were accepted as disciples by Hong Tiantai, the eldest disciple of Ren Gongzi, to pass on their arts. The reason why Xiong Qian was able to enter Ren Gongzi's disciple was because his mother was Ren Gongzi's younger sister, and Ren Tu was the son of Ren Gongzi's younger brother. Due to the early entry of Ren Apprentice and his excellent martial arts, his master Hong Tiantai sent him as Xiong Qian's bodyguard, so as to guide the young Xiong Qian's martial arts on his behalf.

The people present did not know these inside stories, and seeing that Ren Tu was just an ordinary guard, and he had no rank or rank, they despised him greatly.

Ren Tu didn't care about everyone's contempt, picked up a wooden sword in his hand, and walked towards the martial arts field with an indifferent face. When he arrived at the center of the venue, he waved his hand at Xiang Bei, easily pulled a sword flower, stood quietly, looked up at Xiang Bei, and said lightly: "The grass people are apprentices, please teach Xiang Gongzi, and Gongzi will make the first move." ”

Xiang Bei was holding a wooden gun in his hand at this time, but his expression was very solemn. He is well-informed, and as soon as he comes on the field, he feels that the opponent in front of him is not simple. And Ren Bu's standing posture made him feel a hint of danger even more. This apprentice is definitely a master! And he is the kind of master who is deeply hidden! Xiang Bei held a wooden gun in his hand and stared at Ren Disciple tightly, but he didn't make a move.

Qu Qi, who was very familiar with Xiang Bei, saw this scene and felt very strange in his heart. He is well aware of the strength of Xiang's ancestral marksmanship, and it can be said that he is famous. In the foreign conquest of the Chu State, he made immortal feats, and I don't know how many generals were defeated under the Xiang spear. And Xiang Bei is the leader of Xiang's generation, and Xiang's gun has made it superb, and it is rarely matched. However, today it is so cautious in the face of this little-known and lowly disciple that it is difficult to wonder. Is this disciple very powerful?

Although Xiang Bei was vigilant, he still chose to take the initiative to attack. After a loud shout, Xiang Bei's wooden spear stabbed at Ren Tu like a dragon, rubbing the air forcefully to cause a "buzzing" roar, and the rapid speed shook out pieces of gun shadows, and the attack was extremely fast and amazing. In the face of such a powerful attack, Ren Tu still looked light-hearted, his body flashed, and he had dodged the wooden spear that stabbed straight over, and the wooden sword flashed towards Xiang Bei like lightning. After Xiang Bei stabbed the air with a shot, he also expected Ren Tu's counterattack, and before the wooden sword approached, his body had moved to the other side, and after retreating a few steps, he launched a fierce attack again. However, Ren Tu still easily dodged the attack in the moment.

On the school martial arts field, the two rabbits rose and fell, and they had fought for more than ten rounds in the blink of an eye. Under the attack of Xiangbei's storm, Ren Tu was like a stormy boat, but although the boat was thrilling, it was always able to turn the danger into a disaster. Except for nineteen, everyone on the sidelines cheered for Xiang Bei. In their opinion, Xiang Bei was completely in the upper hand, and that inconspicuous Ren disciple had no power to fight back at all, and he would soon have to admit defeat.

Nineteen is the opposite of everyone else, from the moment Ren Tu came on the field, he felt that Ren Tu was extraordinary. Because Ren Tu's body style looks too ordinary, and then an ordinary flash and dodge can dodge Xiang Bei's wave after wave of attacks, how can this body method be ordinary? Nineteen sharp eyes have already seen the strangeness, Ren Tu's every step seems random, but every step is extremely mysterious, just because there is no trace, so it is completely unknown to outsiders. However, Nineteen was an expert in the body method, and he was surprised to find that the Ren disciple body method was very clever and magical, although it was not as gorgeous and beautiful as the Tengyun Phantom Body Method, but its power and use effect were not inferior to the former.

Although Xiang Bei on the field looked beautiful, he secretly complained in his heart, and the feeling of failure of the attack made him very uncomfortable. He clearly felt that when he was slightly exhausted in his attack, it was time for Ren to fight back. And he had a premonition that Ren Tu's counterattack must be very terrifying, and once he showed his flaws, he would have no chance but to admit defeat.

The situation on the field really developed as Xiang Bei expected. When Xiang Bei's attack finally came to an end and the momentum began to fall, Ren Tu's counterattack began. I saw Ren Tu holding a wooden sword, teasing, picking, stabbing, chopping, cutting, splitting, a move is like a move, it seems that the wind is light, but the move is dense, and during the attack, there is a faint sound of wind and thunder. Xiang Bei tried to fight back, but Xiang Bei was shocked to find that every time his spear body touched the sword body, his hands would feel paralyzed, as if he had been hit by lightning, and his strength could not be condensed at all.

The earth-shaking changes on the field surprised everyone outside the field. They didn't understand why Xiang Bei would suddenly lose the upper hand, the swordsmanship of the Ren disciple didn't seem to have much power, and the dance was in the hands of the Ren disciple, light and fluttering, like a butterfly flying through flowers, without any sense of power. However, the gradually increasing sound of wind and thunder on the field still attracted everyone's attention, was this the sound made when the wooden sword was wielded?

Xiang Bei retreated in successive defeats, and saw that he was powerless. If it weren't for the tenacity of him who didn't admit defeat, coupled with the fact that Ren Tu was unwilling to offend Xiang Bei, he didn't press too hard, and he would have given up his sword and admitted defeat a long time ago.

Xiang Bei, who was embarrassed, stared at Ren Tu, and while brandishing a wooden gun, he asked breathlessly: "Brother Ren, did you make the legendary Wind and Thunder Sword Technique?"

Ren Tuhan said with a smile: "Brother Xiang is really knowledgeable, and it is the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique that he is using under him, but unfortunately, he can only use the three successful powers of the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique." However, if Brother Xiang doesn't have a more powerful move, I'm afraid he will lose. ”

Xiang Bei smiled wryly and said, "Do you admit defeat? After saying that, his body suddenly retreated, and he threw the wooden spear at Ren Tu. Ren Tu was stunned for a moment, and flicked it lightly with the wooden sword, the wooden spear had been dropped to the ground, looking at Xiang Bei, who was standing still more than ten zhang away, and thought in his heart, did he want to admit defeat at this time?

Everyone outside the arena sighed, this disciple is so powerful, but the powerful Xiang Bei was beaten and fled, and it seems that the winner of this competition has been decided.

However, Xiang Bei did not admit defeat. I saw Xiang Bei take a deep breath, his hands flew up and down, forming a series of strange handprints, and then, circling around Ren from afar. Ren Tu was puzzled for a while, not knowing what Xiang Bei was going to do. Even the gun was lost, is this going to fight empty-handed?

Xiang Bei didn't care what Ren Tu thought, he didn't hurry around in circles, and in the end, he even closed his eyes. Ren Tu hesitated, thinking that Xiang Bei was going to admit defeat, but now it seems that Xiang Bei has no intention of doing so, so he can only continue to attack. Ren Tu finally got impatient, his figure flashed, and the strange wooden sword stabbed Xiang Bei again.

Xiang Bei faced the stabbing wooden sword, his body was still motionless, seeing that the wooden sword had immediately stabbed his body, Xiang Bei's body was incredibly deformed under the exclamation of everyone, and the wooden sword could pass by. And Xiang Bei's right palm hit Ren Tu's side back like lightning, only to hear a "snap", Ren Tu was hit by a palm, and his body fell out a few feet away as if he had been seriously injured.

When Ren Tu got up, his face was full of horror, and there was a faint pain on one side of his body, and he secretly scolded himself in his heart for being too careless, and he didn't guard against Xiang Bei's such means. However, he didn't think that Xiang Bei still had any chance, if his swordsmanship couldn't even beat Xiang Bei empty-handed, it would become a joke. Ren Tu's swordsmanship changed again, and in the wind and thunder, he continued to roll towards Xiang Bei. But Xiang Bei is like magic, always twisting his body into a weird shape at a critical moment to dodge attacks, and at the moment when Ren Tu's move misses, he can always skillfully counterattack, so that Ren Tu is repeatedly injured.

Everyone outside the arena couldn't help but be in an uproar, they didn't know what kind of exercises Xiang Bei used, and he turned defeat into victory. Nineteen's eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself, "Is it a serpentine palm? He often came into contact with Xiang Bei, of course he knew that Xiang Bei had been practicing the serpentine palm, and he also knew that this serpentine palm was taught by Miao Miao's father, Miao Fengshan.

Ren Tu was depressed, he couldn't figure out the tricks of Xiang Bei's strange technique at all. No matter how wonderful his swordsmanship is, Xiang Bei can always skillfully resolve it, but as long as he gets close, he can't dodge Xiang Bei's attack. So, in the sound of "popping", he was constantly being slapped away, although he was unwilling, but after Ren Tu was slapped away again, he finally admitted defeat happily.

In the first game, Xiang Bei was almost qualified as an apprentice. Although Ren Tu lost, everyone's eyes on him changed a lot. When most of the people in the arena saw Ren Tu's mysterious swordsmanship, they thought that if they played against him, they would feel that it would be difficult to win. Even if it was Xiang Bei, if it weren't for the weird serpentine palm used in the later stage, relying solely on Xiang's marksmanship, I'm afraid he would have lost a long time ago. So. The unknown Ren disciple left an indelible impression in everyone's minds because of this lost competition.
