The next morning, Hua Yuan'er had a conflict with Fang Hou at the foot of the mountain yesterday, and because the former would bring outsiders into the village privately, both of them violated the village rules. After the village owner decided, let the two have a competition. Of course, those
Outsiders also had to accept the test of competition in the ring, which made the whole Black Dragon Village extremely lively. Many people arrived at the competition ground in the west of the inner village early.
In order to allow Tang Ji and others to adapt to the environment, Hua Yuan'er also brought them over in advance.
Tang Ji drooped his head, looking weak. In his spare time in his previous life, he would go to the gym with his resentful roommates. His body was still strong. However, after traveling here, he became a weak scholar who couldn't even practice martial arts.
Time, he suddenly had to compete with bandits. Wouldn't this cost his life?
He sighed, no longer thought about it, raised his head and observed the surrounding environment.
The area of this competition ground is very large, similar to a regular football field in later generations. There is an extremely spacious stand in the distance. There are three chairs in the middle. The middle one is covered with tiger skin, which is probably the position of the leader of the village.
, there were many bandits holding spears standing below, and in front of him was a large arena with a length of twenty feet and a width of twenty feet. The whole body was made of large stones, and each of the four legs had a thick stone pillar as high as a three-story building.
There were bandits wearing various costumes standing around.
Seeing this scene, combined with the scale of the entire Black Dragon Village, Tang Ji was actually quite curious about what kind of person the leader of the Black Dragon Village was, and couldn't help but touched Hua Yuan'er's shoulder: "Xiaohua, how long has it been since your village was built?
Already?"
"Brother Tang, why do you call me Xiaohua..." Hua Yuan'er looked bitter, rolled his eyes, and then explained: "Heilong Village was originally just an ordinary village, the place was small and dilapidated.
It was only after all the bandit forces in Hengzhou were conquered three years ago that it gradually became what it is now, so if we say it was completed, it was only completed recently, but in fact there is still room for building houses in the back mountain."
After hearing what he said, Tang Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Did your adoptive father break through to the master realm three years ago?"
"Yes, otherwise how could we easily destroy so many copycat villages." Hua Yuan'er nodded and replied.
Tang Ji touched his nose. He thought that Heilong Village destroyed other bandit forces with the help of King Beidu. Now it seems that this is not the case, which makes him even more curious about the relationship between Heilong Village and Yingzhou!
At this moment, there was a commotion in the stands in the distance. A tall, middle-aged man and a few people were seen walking out of the side aisle. They stopped in front of the tiger leather seats and looked over.
After looking at the audience, he calmly sat down on the chair.
In an instant, the bandits who were chattering incessantly fell silent and shouted in unison: "I've seen the village leader!"
Soon, after the other two men sat down next to the main seat, Fang Wei twisted his neck twice, stepped on the seat with one leg, and shouted loudly: "Yesterday, both of my sons committed crimes.
Wrong, according to the village rules, we have to fight to the death with the second and third masters, but they are all my sons after all, and they have had a lot of conflicts before, so let them have a fight here today. Firstly, it is for everyone.
One explanation, and the other is that I hope they can let go of the past and stop fighting each other!"
Hearing this, the eyes of all the bandits present were focused on Hua Yuan'er and Fang Hou respectively.
"Hey, will the winner of today's competition have to beat the opponent?"
"That's not the case. Didn't Big Brother say that? Let go of the past and stop killing each other."
"That's right. After today's fight, we can tell who will be the grandpa and who will be the grandson. How can we still kill each other?"
"..."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Fang Hou, who was standing under the stands, stared at Hua Yuan'er, clenched the big knife in his hand, and murmured: "Hua Yuan'er, I will definitely be your grandfather!"
"Ahem!" Fang Wei coughed twice. When everyone calmed down, he raised his hand and continued: "Besides, Yuan'er also brought back several knights with strong martial arts skills yesterday. Our Black Dragon Village has always
Talents are cherished, regardless of background or origin, but they must be real masters. Therefore, the second thing in setting up the competition today is to let these people show off their martial arts skills and open our eyes. Well...
.However, I heard from Yuan'er that the martial arts levels of the four knights are different. The leader of this village is also an enlightened person, so I added a rule for you. Counting Yuan'er, there are exactly five of you, so I will ask Hou'er to be there.
How about picking four people from the cottage and playing five to five games, as long as you can win three games, you can all stay?"
Hearing this, the bandits looked at Hua Yuan'er and the people around him, and started talking again.
"I heard from Master Fang that Mr. Hua brought back two first-rate masters yesterday."
"It should be those two guys, huh? What's up with the pretty boy and the one-eyed old man next to them? They don't look like experts!"
"It seems that with three wins out of five games, Master Hua and the others are under a lot of pressure!"
"I think that old man may not be simple. As for the pretty boy, he looks so weak that he probably sneaked in with him."
"..."
Hua Yuan'er didn't listen to them, his eyes were shining. As long as he could defeat Fang Hou, and let Brother Su and Lao Cheng win the group match, he could win directly. In this way, there would be no need for Mr. Sun to take action to avoid being frightened.
The adoptive father and the brothers in the village immediately shouted loudly: "Father, the child has no objection!"
Hearing this, Fang Hou snorted, turned around and raised his hand and asked, "Dad, can my son choose any helper at will?"
"As long as you have equal strength, you can call them at your disposal!" Fang Wei replied.
Hearing this, Fang Hou raised his lips slightly, picked up the big knife in his hand and jumped onto the ring, shouting: "Hua Yuan'er, come up and die!"
Hua Yuan'er pouted. It seemed that he had to defeat him today. Without much hesitation, he took the spear from the pillar next to him and immediately stepped onto the ring.
"Oh, I didn't expect Xiaohua to play with a gun!" Cheng Tie sighed.
The pillar standing next to him explained: "Master Hua has been practicing spears since he was a child."
Tang Ji blinked. Speaking of spears, he couldn't help but think of Song Yao. The imperial army set off one day later than them. It would probably take a few days to reach the northwest. I wonder what the only female general of Ning State would do.
Such a great achievement. I heard that Li Yu also came with me. I hope that guy won't cause any trouble. There is also Ran Ran and Jiu'er, that damn girl. More than half a month has passed. I wonder how she is doing in Kyoto...
In the stands, Fang Wei leaned back lazily on his chair and reminded: "The competition in the ring will last until the point is called. You are not allowed to hurt others maliciously or do anything secretly. Violators will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a white-haired old bandit standing on the stage announced: "The first game of the competition begins!"
Immediately, the entire competition ground became lively again.
"Hey, hey, the market is open. Who do you think will win, Master Fang or Master Hua? Master Fang on the left, Master Hua on the right, buy it and leave!"
"It is said that Master Fang's strength has reached the first-rate level, while Master Hua seems to be still at the peak of the second-rate level. Do you need to think about it? I will beat Master Fang with ten taels of silver!"
"Hey, Lao Zhang, you're hiding it so deeply, but have you forgotten that Master Hua started practicing martial arts when he was picked up by the village master at the age of five. It has been a full fifteen years now. Although Master Fang was the first to break through, experience has
Speaking of which, Mr. Hua is better!"
"Oh, it doesn't matter. It's a bet anyway. Just bet as hard as you want..."
The audience was bustling with excitement, and the stage was also tense. Fang Hou held the sword in both hands, gritted his teeth, and looked at Hua Yuan'er for a moment before fiercely attacking with the sword.
"ah!"
Hua Yuan'er sighed, picked up the spear and took the next blow, and then started fighting with the opponent again and again, but his face was full of helplessness.
Seeing this scene, Sun Yufu, who was pouring wine into his mouth, stopped and murmured: "The old man is indeed right, that boy is a fake first-class man."
"Pseudo-first-rate?" Tang Ji turned his head and looked at him doubtfully.
Su Qing looked forward and explained: "The so-called pseudo-first-class means that the physical strength has reached the first-class level, but the martial arts skills, actual combat experience, etc. are far from enough, that is, there is only an empty frame. This is the case with Fang Hou. It seems that
Fierce, in fact, there are flaws in his moves. Brother Hua didn't defeat him directly, maybe because he wanted to give him some face."
Cheng Tie also scratched his head: "That guy is really strong. He punched me yesterday and it still hurts!"
After saying that, he reached out and rubbed his chest.
After listening to Su Qing's words, Tang Ji frowned slightly. It is impossible for the leader of the Black Dragon Village not to know the strength of his two sons. But in this case, what is the purpose of letting the two compete? Could it be...
Just when his thoughts were racing, Fang Wei, who was sitting in the stands, suddenly shouted: "Yuan'er, try your best!"
Hearing this, Hua Yuan'er didn't hold anything back anymore. Taking advantage of the moment when Fang Hou brandished his sword, he lightly picked up the spear, put the tip of the spear on the opponent's neck, and said calmly: "You lose."
"I didn't lose!" Fang Hou couldn't accept the result. He gritted his teeth and continued to swing the long knife, but Hua Yuan'er easily dodged it and received the latter's kick. He flew out instantly and fell to the ground.
The edge of the arena.
Seeing this dramatic scene, a bandit in the audience stood dumbfounded: "Master Fang is still a grandson."
