Conducting this duel so openly is what Wan'er meant. In contrast, Lu Ren actually wanted to find a place where no one was there to fight Wan'er, and then it didn't matter if he used some very despicable means, as long as he could take Wan'er down.

But Wan'er seemed to see through Lu Ren's idea, and directly proposed an open duel if she wanted to fight a duel, and fight this one in front of everyone. In addition to blocking the possibility that Lu Ren wants to engage in some despicable means, this also has a great impact on the political level.

To put it simply, if Wan'er is defeated, there is nothing to say, and the honest surrender in terms of rest is; But if Lu Ren is defeated, but he still wants to attack Anxi after he loses the battle, then he has no credibility at the political level, and Anxi can seize this matter to make a big fuss......

Don't think that this credibility is meaningless! For example, the advantage that Lu Ren can now obtain over Sabbath is inseparable from many diplomatic means, such as the huge pressure on Sabbath caused by the Roman side at Lu Ren's invitation is one of them. But at this time, if Lu Ren did something that violated his trust, what would the power groups such as Rome, which were allied with Lu Ren, think? A power group with no credibility, who would dare to continue to cooperate with you? After Lu Ren solved Wan'er's problem, there were still many cards to play.

In short, the duel between Lu Ren and Wan'er was decided, and the location was set in the bay of the Persian Gulf, on the west side of the Strait of Hormuz...... After Lu Ren broke through the garrison on the north shore, he basically took some places west of Bandar Abbas as the dividing line, and the east side was naturally in Lu Ren's hands, but on the west side, Hassan Keyin still held a few points. In addition, the more than 30 warships that are still remaining in Anxi are also docked here, which is the last bit of the Anxi Navy.

It's not that Lu Ren can't beat it, but according to the secret agreement between Lu Ren and Cass Yili, he left some capital for Cass Yili in this way, and on the other hand, it was also used to paralyze Wan'er......

Don't talk about these anymore, anyway, it will soon be the day that Lu Ren and Wan'er agreed on.

On Lu Ren's side, the exclusive seat ship was sailing towards the agreed place under the escort of a circle of warships, and Lu Ren was lying on the deck looking at the sky in a daze. Diao Chan, Lu Lan, Lu Feng, and Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, who threw down the fleet and rushed to Lu Renza's ship after hearing the news, as well as Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang, all stood aside, but no one knew what to say.

After a long time, Minchan still stood up, walked to Lu Ren's approach and whispered, "Yihao, do you really want to fight Wan'er this time?" ”

Lu Ren pillowed his head on his arms and smiled indifferently: "You have asked this one hundred and eighty times in the past few days, right?" Now that it's time for me, what can I do but fight? ”

Minchan said: "You can completely ignore Wan'er and continue to ......"

Lu Ren waved his hand: "From the very beginning, I didn't want to fight this war at all, but in the end, I still fought for so long, I was already tired, tired, and annoyed, so I wanted to end this war as soon as possible." And the soldiers under my command should also let them go home early. ”

Minchan shook her head and sighed again: "In the end, you just can't let go of Wan'er." ”

Lu Ren said: "What can it be, what can it be?" Whether public or private, let's let this hellish war, a war that shouldn't have happened, end as soon as possible. ”

Minchan didn't know what to say or what else to say at this time, so she could only shake her head and sigh. has been with Lu Ren for so many years, what kind of temper Lu Ren is, and Diao Chan is very clear. Standing up and saying a few words now is just a last bit of effort, and there is no hope in itself.

If she's like this, what can anyone else say? After Lu Ren stayed for a while, he suddenly called to Lu Feng: "Stinky boy, get here!" ”

Lu Feng stepped forward in response, and knelt down on one knee beside Lu Ren. Lu Ren also changed from lying down to sitting at this time, took out the seal ribbon that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to Lu Feng: "Originally, your father and I wanted to ask your Aunt Wan to a place where no one was, and then play some means to get her, but your Aunt Wan didn't give me this kind of opportunity at all, and the matter was so big that I couldn't play any tricks in front of everyone." This battle is a tough battle, and I don't dare to say that I can win against your Aunt Wan...... Take this thing, if something happens to me, you kid will take my place immediately! ”

After a pause, Lu Ren amplified his voice, not only could the other people hear, but his tone was also extremely stern: "Even if something happens to me, you are not allowed to continue the war to avenge me!" Therefore, you must bring our soldiers back to Han land in peace. If you disobey it, Lao Tzu will not let you go even if he becomes a ghost, do you understand!? ”

Lu Feng usually has no positive shape, but at this time, he is also extremely serious. Listening to Lu Ren's words, Lu Feng didn't dare to pick up Lu Ren's seal ribbon at all, his lips moved and he just wanted to say something, but Lu Ren grabbed his hand and stuffed the seal ribbon into Lu Feng's hand, and said nothing more.

Lu Feng also knows his father's temper very well, so he can only reluctantly take Lu Ren's seal at this moment. Looking at Lu Ren again, he patted Lu Feng's head a few times, and then turned his head to Huang Zhong and Gan Ning over there and said, "Old man, Xingba, come over here." ”

Huang Zhong and Gan Ning glanced at each other, and silently came to Lu Ren's side. Lu Ren pointed to Lu Feng, who was still kneeling there, and said with a smile: "In case something really happens to me, this kid is still a little young, and if he doesn't do it, he will be a little uncontrollable, so I can only bother the two of you to help this kid." In today's Central Plains of China, no one can say what kind of changes will happen next, so I don't have many requirements, as long as I can bring our soldiers back safely, and then guard our territory. ”

didn't say it, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning didn't know what to say except to give Lu Ren a salute and receive the order.

Next, Lu Ren set his eyes on Zhou Yu again, but Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't say more, the old man understands." It's just that if Ling Gongzi is not very angry, don't blame the old man for being ruthless. ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Don't worry, I won't give you Dongwu this opportunity." ”

They looked at each other and smiled, and there was no more follow-up. At this time, Lu Ren's fleet was about to arrive at the agreed place, and Lu Ren also stood up and began to pack up and inspect his "magic weapons......

————————————————————

On the other side, Wan'er was also doing something similar to Lu Ren.

Of course, there are many people around Lu Ren, but Wan'er is not alone. In fact, Wan'er has considerable influence in the aristocratic circle of rest, and naturally there are some followers and admirers who are loyal to Wan'er. Now Wan'er is challenging Lu Ren as the "messenger of the gods" of rest, in other words, the spokesperson of rest, and these worshippers will of course follow Wan'er's side.

It's just that compared to Lu Ren, there are still so many things to say, but no one on Wan'er's side came up to talk to Wan'er, they all gathered around from afar, and then looked at Wan'er with adoring eyes. At this time, only Vanilla followed Wan'er closely, but she couldn't say anything.

Boarding the ship from the shore, Wan'er was also at the bow of the ship to check her equipment. was busy in her hands, but Wan'er suddenly said to Vanilla not far behind her: "Vanilla, I don't blame you." ”

Vanilla moved her lips and said softly, "Lord God, is there no room for irreparation?" You and Lu Nanhai ......"

Wan'er waved her hand: "Needless to say, the matter should be over by now." Seriously, I'm tired and annoyed, and I've been doing those things according to my father's will, and I actually don't feel good in my heart. Now that I'm done with Lu Ren, whether it's a win or a loss, I finally have an explanation to my father......"

Sighing lightly, Wan'er didn't say anything again, and Vanilla naturally didn't know what to say, so she could only stand silently behind Wan'er, watching the shadow of the boat on the opposite side gradually become clear in her line of sight little by little.

————————————————————

Everyone thought that the duel between Lu Ren and Wan'er would be fought on land, but they never thought that the battlefield agreed between Lu Ren and Wan'er would be at sea. To be more precise, it's above the sea. Again, Wan'er didn't want to give Lu Ren a chance to play any tricks, so she chose a battlefield like the sea. And under the conditions of the time, no one could get involved in such a duel.

At this time, there were many people who came to watch the battle when they heard the news. In addition to Lu Ren's soldiers and resting personnel, Arab powers, Sassanids, and even the Romans rushed over. Speaking of which, after all, this kind of duel has some heroic romanticism, and in that era, both Orientals and Westerners respected such duels very much. At least on a psychological level, the actual political and military significance is a different matter. Of course, it can also be assumed that such a decisive duel is unlikely to occur in actual military battles, so when such a thing suddenly happens, no one wants to miss such an event.

According to the agreement between the two sides, the battlefield of the duel is a large sea area, and the spectators from all sides have their own places to stop the ship, and they are not allowed to step forward a little more.

In fact, the Roman side was very dissatisfied with Lu Ren's decision this time, after all, from a military point of view, as long as Lu Ren and the Roman side continued to attack Anxi, Anxi would definitely be over, where would there be any need for a duel to determine the outcome of the battle? And Lu Ren also knew that if he couldn't give an explanation to the Roman side at this time, things would be very difficult to handle in the future, so he specially invited some people from the Roman side to watch the battle. Now that the personnel from the Roman side have arrived, it is also strange why Lu Ren and Wan'er would have a duel on such an occasion, could it be that each side will drive a ship out, and then fight on the deck?

Such doubts are in the minds of many people, such as the Romans and the Sassanids, who still have strong resentment. Because of this, when they suddenly saw Lu Ren and Wan'er slowly taking off into the air and flying towards each other on the flying board together, the sudden shock and even horror in their hearts suddenly caused a strong psychological contrast to the dissatisfaction in their hearts.

How can this be said? It's like a gamer in modern society, at first, he thought that he could cooperate with his teammates to defeat a boss with his own level, equipment, and technology, and even he could be on an equal footing with his teammates or even surpass his teammates to become the main player in the team......

That's what it means, anyway. When the Romans and the Sassanid family saw that Lu Ren and Wan'er had flown into the sky, they understood that it was a "fairy fight", and they "mortals" could have a chrysanthemum on such an occasion, and they could be regarded as understanding why Lu Ren would accept the duel request from the rest side.

In fact, this is also one of the agreements between Lu Ren and Wan'er. Because whether it is Lu Ren or Wan'er, they all know that there is a corresponding political group behind them, and if they don't use some corresponding methods to suppress some voices of the political group, then some of the things that should be resolved in this duel between them will not be able to give up. In other words, they all have to play a trick.

Okay, I won't say much about those things, just say that Lu Ren and Wan'er came to each other's front on an anti-gravity board, and they were only a few meters away from each other. And what they said at this time, naturally, no one could hear it anymore.

Lu Ren looked at Wan'er and smiled a little sadly: "That time, we also met like this. ”

Wan'er shook her head: "I don't remember much." Sometimes I feel like my memory is not very good, and I can't remember a lot of things in the past. ”

Lu Ren said: "It's not very good, but it's ...... That shouldn't be your fault. ”

Wan'er still shook her head: "It's all come to this, so don't say more about those words." I'll just ask you one thing now, how do you get started? ”

Lu Ren was silent for a moment and took out a cannon fight...... Well, it's a cannon battle, that is, firecrackers, firecrackers, that is, the fuse is a little longer, more than 20 centimeters.

"You don't need me to explain, do you?"

"Yes."

The two sides each stepped back a few meters, and the distance between them was about twenty meters. At this time, even if Lu Ren was reluctant in his heart, he finally found the fire fold and slowly lit the fuse of the cannon. When the fuse was almost burned, he threw the cannon into the air......

Boom!!

The sound of this cannon battle is quite loud, and there are some special ingredients, which are very conspicuous after exploding. In fact, this thing is one of the various flares that Lu Ren has here. And at this time, it exploded, which was also to tell those who were watching the battle that the duel between Lu Ren and Wan'er had finally begun......
