Chapter 37: The Banquet Contest (Part II)
The weapons used by the two men were not long, so the two sides were very close to each other, and their movements were extremely fast, and when he saw that the short sword of Pedestrian Nine was about to stab Gao Yuan's chest, Gao Yuan suddenly raised his left arm and met the blade of the sword.
The audience exclaimed again, is it difficult for the plateau to be confused, and at this time, Li Yinghong was so frightened that he closed his eyes and didn't dare to look any further.
Pedestrian Jiu was happy in his heart, knowing that his sword stabbed down, the left hand of the plateau would be useless, even if he was also cut by the plateau, but the two sides were still half a catty and eight taels, and he still had a big advantage, so this time he could not lose the opportunity.
Before the thought was gone, pedestrian nine's short sword had stabbed into Gao Yuan's left arm, but the tip of the sword seemed to have pierced a hard object, and it could not be pierced any further. Pedestrian Jiu was shocked, and immediately understood that Gao Yuan's arm must be wearing an arm guard or something, no wonder he dared to use a lose-lose trick as soon as he came up, and he died with himself, so he immediately retreated.
But at this time, the saber of the plateau has been cut down, only to see a flash of the sword, the right arm of pedestrian nine holding the sword has been cut off by the plateau, and then the second knife of the plateau is cut down, between the chest and abdomen of pedestrian nine, cut out a diagonal wound of nearly 30 centimeters, blood gushed out like a fountain, pedestrian nine screamed, and fell to the ground on his back.
Although it was said to be a battle of life and death, the plateau did not take advantage of the situation to attack and take the life of pedestrian nine. Instead, he took a step back and said, "Xiangguo, it's better to carry pedestrian nine back and treat him immediately, maybe you can save his life." β
In fact, although the knife of the plateau seriously injured pedestrian nine, but it was not fatal, if the rescue is extremely timely, it is not impossible to save the life of pedestrian nine, but pedestrian nine's right arm has been cut off, so even if it is rescued, it is a disability, there is no threat.
At this time, what Guo Kai thought of was that he had lost another 2,000 eridium gold, and he had lost a total of 3,000 eridium gold, 3,000 eridium gold. How many years will it take to save it back? As soon as he thought of this, Guo Kai felt that his heart was bleeding, and it was because of these two useless things that he lost three thousand eridium gold all at once.
At this time, Gao Yuan asked Guo Kai to rescue pedestrian nine, and Guo Kai also broke out as soon as he was alone, pointing at pedestrian nine who fell to the ground and scolded: "What to do to save him?" It's this useless thing, Benxiang usually provides you with food and drink, and gold beauties for you to enjoy, but when it comes to using you, but doesn't give Benxiang a fight, so that Benxiang lost 3,000 Eridium gold, and he deserves to die, why don't you die earlier, Benxiang won't lose 3,000 Eridium gold. β
At this time, pedestrian nine was lying on the ground, although there was only one breath left, but his mind was still clear, after listening to Guo Kai's words, he couldn't help but be angry and forced in his heart, he could stand it there, and suddenly spit blood in his mouth, and he whimpered.
And in Guo Kai's seat, there was still a master Ji Qizi left, and there were other guests of his level who did not have good looks on their faces, and everyone was sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
Gao Yuan saw it in his eyes, and felt sorry for these people in his heart, after all, he had such a master, and no one would feel good in his heart, but he deliberately teased Guo Kai, and said: "Xiangnan, I heard that under Xiangnan, there are a total of three major swordsmen, and there are already two of them in Xia, taking advantage of everyone's good interest now, I also want to meet the third person in Xia, I don't know if Xiangguo is willing to compete again." β
Li Mu also immediately helped: "Yes, I still want to gamble with Xiangguo again, this time we will bet 4,000 Yi gold." What does Xiangguo think? β
Guo Kai's face trembled, and if he gambled another 4,000 Yi gold, even if he had his own money, it was estimated that he would lose everything, so he didn't dare to bet with Li Mu again, of course, the competition would naturally not be comparable. And what he did just now, Ji Qizi was also completely cold to Guo Kai, even if Guo Kai let Ji Qizi fight, it is estimated that he will find many reasons to shirk, he is not afraid of death, but it is not worth fighting for a master like Guo Kai.
At this time, Zhao Cong stood up and said with a dry smile: "Mr. Gao has won two battles in a row, which shows that his martial arts are strong, and it also opened our eyes, but today is a banquet to celebrate my Zhao State's victory over the Qin army, not a competition of martial arts. β
Zhao Wangqian also knew that Zhao Cong was here to play a round game, and now Gao Yuan has won two games in a row, and then compared to the third game, it is estimated that there will be more wins and fewer losses, so if it is compared to the third game, Guo Kaike will lose all his family wealth. In any case, Zhao Wangqian also wants to defend Guo Kai, so Zhao Wangqian also said: "Da Sima is right, today is the time for a feast, and the competition in front of the banquet is just a game, and the Zhongqing still sits down to watch the singing and dancing, and drink the wine." What do the two Aiqing think? β
Since Zhao Wangqian opened his mouth, Li Mu couldn't help but give Zhao Wangqian face, and Gao Yuan won two games in a row, which also confirmed his identity as a general from the sky, and won Guo Kai's 3,000 Yi gold, which can be regarded as a great gain, and Li Mu also knows the truth of receiving it when he sees it, after all, Zhao Xuansi said that in terms of real strength, Gao Yuan is still inferior to Shi Kui, Xingren Jiu, and Ji Qizi, and then compared to the third game, if there is a little loss, wouldn't it be a waste of all his previous achievements? Therefore, Li Mu also said: "The order of the king." β
Guo Kai also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally stopped the loss, so he sat down.
At this time, the servants came up again, rearranged the table, and the officials took their seats again, and this time Li Yinghong forced the plateau to Li Mu and his own seat, and Li Mu had no objection. Gao Yuan sat in the front row.
The music started again, and the music girl appeared on the stage again, singing and dancing, and the sword light and sword shadow just now disappeared without a trace.
After the banquet, Zhao Wangqian officially ordered that Gao Yuan be crowned as the upper doctor, with an annual reward of 5,000 stones, 300 households, and at the same time, he was also rewarded with 500 gold and a house in Handan City.
The official position system of Zhao State is still to follow the Zhou system, which is divided into three classes: scholar, doctor, and secretary, and each first class is divided into upper, middle, and lower three levels, which is the official rank and the name of the official position, such as Xiangguo, Sima, general, military division, and other special official positions, all of which are temporarily appointed and not permanent. However, after the Warring States Period, according to their own needs, each country according to its own needs, such official positions as Xiangguo, Sima, and General became permanent, and at the same time, there were other permanent official positions such as Imperial History, Imperial Captain, Taishou, and County Order, but the third-class official ranks of Shi, Doctor, and Secretary are still used in various countries. Generally, when you reach the rank of doctor, you are eligible to participate in court politics. Like Gao Yuan, who is only in his early twenties, he has become a doctor all of a sudden, although it is not unprecedented, but it is also very rare.
However, although King Zhao gave Gao Yuan a set of mansions, it is definitely too late to move in now, and Gao Yuan still has to live in Li Mu's mansion on this night, so after the dinner, Gao Yuan still followed Li Mu and Li Yinghong back to the house. Sima Shang also had his own mansion in Handan, but he and Li Mu had not seen each other for a long time, so they also went to Li Mu's mansion to sit together.
After everyone sat down in Li Mu's main hall, Sima Shang also patted Gao Yuan's shoulder and said: "Good little boy, you can really do it, Shi Kui and Xingren Jiu, the two boys have always been rampant in Handan, but the swordsmanship is very good, no one can control others, two of my brothers are competing with them for swords, and they all died under their swords, you can be regarded as helping me out of a bad breath." But what makes me happiest is to see Guo Kai's bitter face, it's the first time I've seen Guo Kai's expression, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep happily tonight. β
Gao Yuan said: "General Sima talked too much, in fact, I was lucky in these two battles, if I talk about real strength, I may not be their opponent." β
Li Yinghong also said: "Uncle Sima, what else do you say? I was scared to death. He turned his head and said to Gao Yuan: "You are too chaotic, do you know how dangerous it is, if you slow down, the sword of pedestrian nine will stab you." β
Zhao Xuan said: "The two of them are fighting, just like the two armies fighting, if they are not able to fight, they will outwit them, so winning is winning, and there is no luck." However, this time you have a great reputation in Handan, I am afraid that there will be many people who will challenge you in the future, although you are now a doctor, the general swordsman challenge, you can ignore it, but some high-status swordsmen, even the king can not refuse, and these people's martial arts are only Shi Kui, pedestrian nine up and down, not below, so you have to be careful. With your current strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a big difference. β
Gao Yuan also nodded, of course he knew that he had won these two battles by skill, not by real strength, and it was necessary to strengthen his own strength, but how to strengthen his own strength, relying on his own hard work, it would not be of much effect. At least find an opponent who is stronger than himself to practice with him, but Gao Yuan knows that Zhao Xuanzhi is a suitable candidate, so he also said: "I will ask Mr. Zhao for more guidance in the future." β
Zhao Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "Well, if you don't think that my marksmanship is Jian Zhuo, you will come to me with Yinghong in the future, at least I can be your opponent." β
Gao Yuan listened to it, and also knew that Zhao Xuan had promised to instruct him in his martial arts, so he was also very happy, and it seemed that after tonight, the gap between himself and Zhao Xuan had also been eliminated a lot.
Everyone laughed a few more words, and Sima Shang also got up to say goodbye.
Li Mu got up to see him off, just out of the door of the main hall, at this moment, I saw Ning Qi leading an inner servant, don't rush over, the inner servant saw Li Mu, immediately greeted him, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, and General Sima is also here, it's really good, the king has an order, Zhao Junshang and General Sima entered the palace to face the king together." Come with me into the palace. β
Li Mu was also stunned, and knew that if something big hadn't happened, Zhao Wangqian would never have been so late, and he recruited himself into the palace, so he said: "Father-in-law, something happened, the king wants to recruit me and General Sima into the palace together." β
The chamberlain said: "The Qin army has broken through Xinzheng and killed Han Wang'an, and Korea has perished. β
