No matter how tempting ten thousand taels of gold is, there must be a way to get it.
Qingdeng's overwhelming terrifying combat power has all dispelled his fantasies by those who are lucky.
Even though his injuries have not healed and his strength is only 50% left, he still beats the warriors of the Aoyu vassals!
It would be fine to kill 15 warriors in a row, but after fighting for 15 rounds continuously, he didn't even sweat!
This look of dealing with others is even more desperate!
In this way, teach the challengers how to have the confidence to play?
I was beaten on the bed for several days for an impossible bonus... No matter how I think about it, it is not cost-effective!
As the temptation of "Ten Thousand Gold" faded, the challengers' enthusiasm quickly dissipated.
Instead of competing for the impossible 10,000 taels of gold, it is better to try to defeat the captains of the newly selected group and get the reward of the 1,000 taels of gold, which is more feasible.
So, the competition venue fell into a strange deserted state... Qing Deng stood alone on the court, with no one around.
There was a dead silence on the west side of the competition venue... In contrast, the surrounding audience was in high spirits.
King Ni took action to defeat the enemy himself - such a situation is not something you can see casually!
Qing Deng's elegant and elegant movements and his devastating power all made everyone at the scene fascinated.
"Don't stop! Keep going!"
"Take out the backbone of the Ouyu warrior!"
Some bold audiences called out, looking forward to the 16th Challenger's appearance.
What if they did, no matter how they shouted, the west side of the competition venue was silent... At this moment, many people lowered their heads, shrank their shoulders, looked at their noses, and looked at their noses, as if they were afraid of being discovered by others, so they called them.
Qing Deng looked around the scene and thought to himself:
——I can only be here today.
Judging from the current situation, he will not have any results if he waits.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling depressed.
First of all, I didn't get a few talents.
Secondly, he hasn't played enough yet!
For him, this level of competition is just a degree of "warm-up".
As soon as his body became hot, he had to stop...it really made him feel uncomfortable.
But now that things have come to this point, I can only accept it.
He stopped staying for a long time, shouted "Success" to the west side of the competition venue, and then turned around and left.
Worship, jealousy, awe... Under the gaze of different emotions, he strode back to the "VIP seat" on the north side of the competition venue, as if he continued to chat and laugh with the vassal lords as if nothing had happened.
...
...
Because there are only 8 vassal lords who have arrived in Wakamatsu Castle and there are not many warriors gathered here, the first day's competition lasted until noon, and was forced to end because of "no challengers".
Although it didn't take long, the result was very happy - the new selection group won a big victory!
Until the end, no one successfully defeated Qing Deng's captains.
Qingdeng is very satisfied with this start.
In the following days, Qingdeng continued to carry out the "Ao Yu Trial" test.
During this period, other vassal lords rushed to Wakamatsu Castle one after another.
Following the Morioka Domain, the banners of the Kubota Domain (205,800 stones), the Sonuchi Domain (170,000 stones), and the Shirakawa Domain (100,000 stones) and other major vassals were waving in the air of Wakamatsu Castle.
In order to receive a reward of 1,000 taels of gold and to win the honor of "defeating the newly selected team leader", all the warriors from other vassals who rushed to Ruomatsu Castle enthusiastically signed up for the competition.
As the number of participants continues to increase, the "Ao Yu Trial" becomes more lively and intense, and the competition duration is extended to dusk.
Having said that, the result has not changed: the new selection group still maintains an undefeated record!
Even if more and more powerful challengers come, they cannot shake the power of the new selection group!
With a few captains, hundreds of warriors who fought against the Ouyuri... I believe anyone would feel that there are so many people, even if they use the number of people to pile up, they will be exhausted and exhausted!
But what is the scene that actually appears in front of everyone?
In fact, Kondo Yuki and others did not feel very tired.
Until now, they still have enough energy.
The reason is not complicated.
Most of their rounds are constantly repeating the three steps of "on-the-field, instant kill, and end".
Because most of the challengers can't withstand their blows at all! So there is no physical effort at all!
Those who have not been killed instantly cannot hold on for too long and will lose in just a few rounds.
Qingdeng was not surprised by such a result - the low level of the Ouyu warrior was long as he expected.
It is said that "material level determines superstructure."
The poor Ao Yu lacks educational resources and naturally cannot cultivate excellent warriors.
The difficult environment has led to the outflow of talents.
The outstanding warriors in the Ouyu territory, who have a little chance, will try to leave and go to more prosperous areas such as Kanto and Gyeonggi to seek better development.
At the same time, because Ao Yu is too poor and the environment is too poor, outstanding talents from other places are unwilling to go to Ao Yu to open a temple and teach martial arts.
The talents inside want to go out, but the talents outside don’t want to come in... In this way, a vicious cycle has formed.
Over time, there was a situation where "the bad chess game is playing, and the more you hit it, the more you become, the more you become, the more you become, the martial arts level is unremarkable.
In terms of martial arts literacy, the warriors of Ouyuri are already lacking in character.
He is not good at skill and has extremely lack of practical experience.
In this way, it is natural to be beaten by Kondo and others.
If conditions permit, Qingdeng is very happy to stay on the competition court.
While beating the opponent unilaterally, he is plucking his talents... he can not only move his muscles, enjoy his mood, but also gain something, which is really a pleasure.
What if he is plagued by everything, he doesn’t have time to watch the competition and participate every day.
He has not been idle recently and has been running around for diplomatic matters every day.
He did not forget the purpose of this trip north - holding the "Ao Yu Trial" is just a bonus, and promoting stability in the Ao Yu area is the primary goal.
Although the meeting was held after all the lords of the Ouyuri family arrived, in many cases, the results of the meeting were often destined before the meeting began!
The attitude of the small vassal is irrelevant. Sendai, Morioka, and Zhuonai are the targets that Qingdeng needs to win over.
Therefore, Qingdeng actively contacted the vassal lords of the Great Vocational throne, communicated, and negotiated with them.
Qingdeng had only one requirement for them: support the "Nanji faction" and the Sabuki camp, and resolutely parted ways with the "Yiqiao faction" and the Zunlang camp.
To be fair, Qingdeng is not good at diplomacy.
Instead of using his tongue to fight for profit, he prefers to use the sword around his waist to exchange for everything he wants.
Fortunately, this diplomatic action is not complicated, and even Qingdeng, who is not familiar with this, can handle it easily.
First of all, he possesses morality and has unshakable "political correctness".
Before Shigeshiro Tokugawa's death, he was still the legitimate leader of the martial family and the 14th generation general of the conquering the ranks.
Supporting the shogunate and supporting the general is the obligation of the three hundred princes, and no one can find any fault.
Secondly, he has strong force to support him.
Don’t want to get things that you can’t get on the battlefield at the negotiating table—but on the other hand, things that you can easily get on the battlefield can be used as bargaining chips on the negotiating table.
Aoden now has the power to destroy Mito, and the newly selected three thousand troops are stationed outside Wakamatsumachi... For every lord of the Ouhari vassal, this is a terrifying pressure that cannot be ignored!
No one wants to anger Qingdeng and cause disaster to destroy the country.
Third, although Qingdeng is not good at diplomacy, with the blessing of his talent "Art student who failed the exam +5", his eloquence has always been very impressive and full of deceptive magic.
To be continued...
