Chapter 104: Before the Tournament
It turned out that at that time, a group of people in Huashan discussed the dispute with Emei and Qingcheng, Jiang Bugui suggested that it should be resolved by competition, and finally Yue Buqun designed to Jiang Bugui in case of defeat in the competition. Ningzhong is five people in the open, it is clear that these five people go to participate in the competition, but secretly let the free sword saint Feng Qingyang hide in the shadows, if there is an unexpected situation in the process of the competition, Feng Qingyang will take action to save the defeat, to ensure that the Huashan faction can definitely win and take back the dominance of Hanzhong. Therefore, the Carefree Sword Saint Feng Qingyang has been following Jiang Bugui and the others, but he didn't expect to encounter the interception and killing of the Songshan faction this time, which can be regarded as a crooked attack, and it is a conspiracy against Huashan by the Songshan faction again.
Jiang Bugui and others, after separating from Feng Qingyang, rushed all the way to Hanzhong, because Feng Buping, Cheng Buxian and Ning Zhong were all injured, so the road was not fast, and finally walked to Chenggu Town in Hanzhong at noon the next day, and rested in Chenggu Town for a night. Early in the morning of the third day, Zhao Qianjin personally led people to Chenggu Town to greet Jiang Bugui and others. Under the greeting of Zhao Qianjin, several people rode fast horses and quickly rushed to Nanzheng in Hanzhong, and it was already the evening of this day when they arrived at Nanzheng, because there were still six or seven days before the agreed time, and the major sects of the rivers and lakes that were invited to witness had not yet arrived, so the people of Huashan rested in Nanzheng under the arrangement of Zhao Qianjin.
Four days after coming to Nanzheng, the head of the Wudang faction, Chong Shidao, came to Nanzheng with a few Wudang disciples, and Jiang Bugui personally greeted him and arranged a place to stay. Then Master Fang Sheng of the Shaolin faction, Zhong Zhen of the Songshan faction, and Song Tianhao, the elder of the beggar gang, also came to Nanzheng, Hanzhong one after another on the same day, because these sects were all invited by the Huashan faction, so Jiang Bugui also greeted them one by one, but when he greeted Zhong Zhen of the Songshan faction, Jiang Bugui clearly saw a trace of doubt in Zhong Zhen's eyes, and the light flashed away, but it was still seen by Jiang Bugui.
Jiang Bugui pretended to be casual, called him a senior brother, and enthusiastically beckoned Zhong Zhen to rest in the Huashan faction's property in Hanzhong.
In fact, Zhong Zhen is indeed very puzzled, the lineup sent by the Songshan faction to intercept and kill the people in Huashan this time is extremely powerful, among which Zhong Tianxiang is Zhong Zhen's father, and Pu Tianzhen is Zhong Zhen's uncle, the martial arts of the two Zhong Zhen understands, and the Songshan faction is definitely the top master, plus Zhao Sihai and Zhang Jingchao, Sima De are all Zhong Zhen's junior disciples, and their martial arts are comparable to Zhong Zhen himself. There are also Eight Eagles outside the Saiwai, the eight of them have cooperated with each other for many years, and they are ruthless, even if Zhong Zhen is against him, he has no chance of winning. It is said that the interception and killing of the five members of the Huashan faction this time is definitely hand-to-hand, so when Zhong Zhen knows that Jiang Bugui and the others have come to Hanzhong safely, he will definitely be puzzled.
After Jiang Bugui arranged for these people from the rivers and lakes who came to witness, Jiang Bugui returned to the back hall of the horse gang and said to Never Abandon and let Never Abandon pay attention to the collection, the names of the masters who came to Emei Qingcheng in Hanzhong this time and the strength of their martial arts, so as to know themselves and their opponents. In the end, he never gave up saying that he had sent an outer disciple who was responsible for collecting intelligence in Hanzhong to investigate the information needed, and he believed that there would be results soon.
In the end, because the day after tomorrow was the period of the competition, Jiang Buhui went to the rooms of Feng Buping, Cheng Buxian and Ning Zhongze respectively to check the recovery of their injuries. When he knew that their injuries had healed and would definitely not affect their combat strength, Jiang Bugui was relieved.
Another day passed, Dingyi Shitai of the Hengshan faction in Beiyue, Liu Zhengfeng of Hengshan in Nanyue, Tiansong of the Taishan faction, and some other elders of the sect also came to Nanzheng in Hanzhong with their disciples one after another, and they were also witnesses invited by the Huashan faction, so Jiang Bugui could only greet him personally.
After arranging a group of people from the rivers and lakes, Jiang Bugui returned to the back hall, and at this time, he never gave up and also collected the intelligence of the two factions in Emei and Qingcheng.
After everyone came, he never gave up talking about the situation of the two factions of Emei and Qingcheng first.
In fact, since the split, the two factions of Emei and Qingcheng have declined compared with the Emei faction back then, and there are not many masters. There is only one disciple of the previous generation of Qingcheng faction still alive, that is, Ling Zi, the senior uncle of the head Yu Canghai, can be regarded as a top master, and then Yu Canghai and several other generations of disciples. And Li Qingtong, the current head of the Emei faction, has similar martial arts to Yu Canghai, and the rest of the generations of disciples have not become successful in martial arts. It's just that there was also a Taishang Elder Yang Ruohua in the previous generation, and his martial arts were similar to Chang Lingzi. According to the information obtained by the outer disciples, among the people who came to the Qingcheng faction in Hanzhong this time were Chang Lingzi, Yu Canghai, and Yu Canghai's junior brother Li Cangsong. And the people of the Emei faction were also led by Li Qingtong and Yang Ruohua personally.
When Jiang Bugui listened to the information that he never gave up, he immediately judged that the two factions of Emei and Qingcheng must be Chang Lingzi, Yu Canghai, Li Cangsong, Yang Ruohua, and Li Qingtong to participate in this best-of-five competition. It must be that these five people are already the strongest of the two factions, so it is not difficult for the people of the Huashan faction to win this competition this time, and they must be able to defeat Yu Canghai, Li Cangsong and Li Qingtong. Although it is impossible to judge the depth of the martial arts of Chang Lingzi and Yang Ruohua, assuming that the martial arts of the two of them reach the same level as the Songshan Taishang Elder who came to intercept and kill last time, they can also win the battle, as long as the order of the competition is arranged, they can win.
According to the practice of the rivers and lakes, this competition was initiated by the Huashan faction, so the Huashan faction will send people to play first and compete in the first game. Next, the two factions of Emei and Qingcheng will send people to play first and conduct the second competition. In the third game, the Huashan faction sent people to play first, and so on until all five competitions were over.
Jiang Bugui's own idea is that when the time comes, he will adapt to the situation. Arrange the order of the competition, as long as the weaker Cheng Bu Worry, Never Give Up, and Ning Zhong are any of the three, bubble to deal with the strongest one, and the remaining two as long as they win a game, their own side can also ensure victory. It is certain that the opponent's Li Cangsong's martial arts are weaker than everyone else, and no matter who is on his side, Li Cangsong can be guaranteed to win.
But the situation changes, in case the situation changes. On his own side, he still has the killer feature of Uncle Feng Qingyang, himself, Feng Qingyang and Feng Buping can guarantee victory, so if they win three out of five games, the Huashan faction will still win. So Jiang Bugui is not worried about the war situation.
Immediately, Jiang Bugui said his thoughts, and Feng Buping discussed it for a while and agreed with Jiang Bugui's statement.
In fact, that is to say, no matter how it is arranged, as long as it can be guaranteed, Feng Buping will win the last game. Then no matter whether Cheng is worried or not, never give up, and Ningzhong, whoever meets Li Cangsong will be able to win again. In the end, Jiang Bugui won one more game, which would ensure the victory of the Huashan faction.
It's just that Feng Buping said at the end: "We will try to arrange the order of appearance tomorrow, and we won't need the master to make a move, and we will win by ourselves." In this way, there is no need to expose the secret that the master has long been in Huashan. In this way, we will not destroy the plan of my Huashan faction. Feng Buping's statement was also unanimously recognized by Jiang Bugui and others.
In the end, the few people discussed some details such as how their side would play and who would be the first to play. Only then did they go back to rest and prepare for tomorrow's competition.
