Chapter 36: The Banquet Contest (Part II)
Gao Yuan turned over, stood up from the ground, and then turned to Zhao Wangqian, and said, "Great King, the minister does not disgrace his mission." ”
There was silence in the audience, and after half a ring, Zhao Wangqian said: "It's so fast, it's over at once." It was only then that the hall resounded with the sparse sound of cheering.
This is not because the ministers have any dissatisfaction with the plateau, but because the speed of this battle is too fast, of course, the ministers are watching the battle with the psychology of spectators, the more lively the better, and before the war, the two sides have been fighting several times, first set an endless battle, but also pressed the gamble of thousands of gold, but also pushed the atmosphere of this battle to the highest point. Therefore, all the ministers are also full of expectations for this battle, and they all hope to see a refined competition, and it is best for the two sides to go back and forth, and the battle is three hundred rounds, and the more fierce the fight, the better.
But when it came to the official competition, it ended in an instant, as if it was a drama, and when it reached the climax, it suddenly stopped dumbly. To be honest, there are many people who don't even see the movements of the plateau clearly, only watching the plateau slide to the ground, and then somehow, Shi Kui was killed by the plateau. Therefore, everyone felt that this battle was not enjoyable at all, so the reaction was so cold.
Only a very few people present knew that the process of this battle seemed simple, but it was the result of Gao Yuan's exhaustive calculations, he first proposed to fight to the death, in order to overwhelm the opponent in momentum and fighting spirit, and then deliberately signaled the power of the sword, which can not only further hit the opponent's confidence, but also make the opponent pay all his attention to the sword, and invisibly, but ignore the other means of the plateau, as a result, during the competition, he was attacked by the plateau and killed.
The real purpose is to put the wine on the ground, so that the soles of the shoes are stained with some wine, and when the competition is in time, you can strengthen the speed of sliding on the ground, and achieve a surprising effect with lightning speed.
Therefore, although the competition is only a short moment, and on the surface, it is not refined, and even prosaic, in fact, it condenses many elements such as plateau scheming, wit, and martial arts, and it is by no means a temporary blessing.
Even Zhao Wangqian felt a little uncomfortable, but at this time, the competition was over, and Gao Yuan had already won, so he couldn't help but express it, so he also nodded and said: "Qing is really strong in martial arts, which also opens the eyes of the widow." The widow toasts you. He held up the bartender. An intent-awaiter hurriedly poured a handful of wine and brought it to the plateau.
Gao Yuan took the wine lord and said, "King Xie toasts." As he spoke, he drank all the wine, and then said, "The king, did the king feel that the king of the first battle just now was too fast?" ”
Zhao Wangqian heard this, and also smiled: "Yes, it's a little faster, and no one else has seen it." ”
Gao Yuan said: "Actually, the minister also feels that there are some unfinished things, so he wants to fight again." He turned his head to Guo Kai and said, "I don't know who Xiangguo will send this time to fight with me again." ”
At this time, Guo Kai was feeling sorry for his own son and lost Qianyi gold, and when he heard that Gao Yuan actually took the initiative to challenge him, he couldn't help but be angry, and said: "Fight is a battle, under the prime minister, the swordsman is like a cloud, and I am afraid that you will not succeed." ”
Li Mu said: "Xiangguo is really refreshing, I still want to gamble with Xiangguo again, didn't I win Xiangguo Qianyi gold just now?" So this time it's going to be two thousand eridium gold, how. ”
Guo Kai was almost choked by Li Mu, losing a thousand Yi gold just now made him feel a lot of pain, if he lost another two thousand Yi gold, it is estimated that he will be so distressed that he can't sleep for three days and three nights. So at this time, I couldn't help but retreat a little in my heart, and I was thinking about finding an excuse not to compete in martial arts.
But at this moment, behind Guo Kai, pedestrian nine stood up and said, "Xiangnan, I am willing to fight, please approve Xiangguo." He turned his head and said to Zhao Wangqian: "Please allow the king." ”
Guo Kai was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and Pedestrian Nine stood up to ask for battle, which was equivalent to blocking all his retreats, and this one was not comparable, so he glared at Pedestrian Nine fiercely and said, "Pedestrian Nine, you have to think about it, Shi Kui's fate is just around the corner." ”
Pedestrian Nine said lightly: "Don't worry, you have your own plan in the next battle, if you win this battle, please give the minister a thousand gold in the next thousand, how about it." ”
Listening to pedestrian nine say this, Guo Kai also felt that he should be a little sure, anyway, this battle is imperative, not allowed to refuse, if this battle pedestrian nine really wins, he can still earn thousands of gold, even if he gives pedestrians nine thousand Yi gold, he is not a loss, and the face is also recovered, so it is better to promise a heavy reward, let pedestrian nine fight to the death, maybe he can really win, so he nodded, said: "Okay, if you win, Benxiang will reward you with thousands of gold." ”
Pedestrian Jiudao: "Thank you Xiangguo." As he spoke, he stepped forward, but his eyes flickered and wandered.
Gao Yuan's heart moved, knowing the purpose of pedestrian Jiu's doing, because Guo Kai didn't ask Shi Kui's attitude just now, let Shi Kui and himself have a life-and-death decisive battle, which also made pedestrian Jiu feel cold, so he took the opportunity to open his mouth, planning to desperately take out a vote, and then flash people.
However, everyone didn't enjoy the battle just now, and now there is another competition, and the gambling amount of this competition is greater than the previous one, before the competition, pedestrian nine asked Guo Kai for a reward on the spot, which can be regarded as building momentum for this competition, so everyone immediately became interested, and shifted their expectations to this competition.
The figure of pedestrian nine is not high, it is estimated that it is about one meter six, half a head shorter than the plateau, the neck is short, although the body shape is slightly a little side, but it is stocky and powerful. And he used a bronze sword about fifty centimeters long, which was not much longer than the saber of the plateau.
With his stature and the weapons he used, this person's martial arts style is obviously based on close melee, which happens to be similar to himself, but his body is shorter than himself, so close melee combat is more advantageous than himself, and he still wants to use the trick just now to slide and attack, which is obviously not needed. It seems that pedestrian nine took the initiative to come out and challenge himself, but it was also after careful consideration and a certain degree of certainty, and it was by no means a momentary impulse. However, Gao Yuan has never planned to use the old tricks again, and his own saber is sharp, which is his own innate advantage, of course, Gao Yuan also has other means.
Shi Kui's body had been dragged away, the blood on the ground had been wiped clean, and Gao Yuan and Pedestrian Nine were each holding weapons and facing each other.
Zhao Wangqian nodded and said, "Begin." ”
The two didn't act for a while, but confronted each other, looking for each other's flaws.
Gao Yuan said: "People die for money, birds die for food, this thousand Yi gold, is not that easy to earn, maybe it will die because of it, Mr. Pedestrian, do you think it's worth it?" ”
Pedestrian Nine sneered: "Wealth is in danger, if you want to get a thousand Yi gold, you can do it without taking a little risk, don't think that you can win me just now when you can kill Shi Kui, that's just a conspiracy you use, this set is useless to me." If you want to win me, you have to show real skills. ”
Gao Yuan smiled faintly: "Do you think that I have no other backhand except for the way to deal with Shi Kui?" I have a lot of tricks, do you have what it takes to guard against them all? ”
Pedestrian Nine's pupils constricted, and he said, "Okay, then I won't let you have a chance to show it." With a roar of rage, his body was forward, and with a wave of his short sword, he stabbed towards the plateau.
Gao Yuan stood still, keeping an eye on the movements and sword momentum of pedestrian nine, and when pedestrian nine generals rushed to his own approach, he suddenly turned to the side, and at the same time waved his saber and stabbed at pedestrian nine's heart.
The people watching the battle couldn't help but let out a burst of shock, and the plateau actually used a lose-lose style of play.
In fact, Gao Yuan has a bottom in his heart, his body is sideways, and he has actually avoided the vital parts, and at the same time he has another back hand, so even if the two sides stab each other, he will be injured at most, but he will not be in danger of his life. And the saber of Zisi is the key point of stabbing at the pedestrian nine, and it is certainly cost-effective to exchange one's own wounds for the death of the enemy. In addition, even pedestrian nine can avoid the vital point, but his saber has blood grooves on both sides and sharp teeth on his back, and the damage caused by stabbing is far greater than that of the sword of this era, of course, he still has the advantage.
Sure enough, pedestrian nine didn't expect that the plateau would use this kind of lose-lose play, although when the challenge, he also put life and death out of the way, but he didn't want to end up with the plateau in this way, so he could only stop and move sideways, avoiding the knife of the plateau.
Gao Yuan waved his knife in the middle of the situation, one left and one right, and cut out an oblique cross shape, slashing at the pedestrian's head and face. Although the line cut by these two knives is simple, it is very effective, because it is two knives together in one go. Even if the opponent's strength is stronger than his own, he must only block these two knives first.
At this time, pedestrian nine also felt that his whole body was shrouded by these two knives, no matter how many subtle counterattacks he had, he had to hold these two knives before he could carry them out. But if he changed to another opponent, of course, there was no problem, but he had seen the sharpness of Gao Yuan's knife with his own eyes just now, and of course he didn't dare to cover it with his sword, so he had to take a step back and dodge these two knives.
But Gao Yuan took advantage of the situation to take a step forward, and cut out with two swords on the left and right, at this time, the first move of the pedestrian nine was lost, and he did not dare to parry the saber of the plateau with his sword, so he could only retreat again. As a result, he was forced by the plateau to retreat five steps in a row. But every time you take a step back, the momentum of pedestrian nine will be weakened by a point, and after five steps back, the momentum of pedestrian nine suddenly plummets, and under this elimination and rise, the momentum of the plateau is greatly increased.
At this time, pedestrian nine not only secretly regretted it in his heart, but he couldn't imagine that at the beginning, it was because he didn't dare to fight with the plateau to the end, so he retreated slightly, and as a result, the plateau took the lead, and used the advantage of weapons to force himself to be passive step by step, if he fought down like this, he would definitely lose, so he had to take the risk of fighting back in order to save the situation in front of him.
Seeing that Gao Yuan swung his knife for the sixth time or so, he slashed at pedestrian nine. And pedestrian nine also knew that this time he could no longer hide, so he gritted his teeth, did not dodge or dodge, but grabbed a step, swung his sword and stabbed towards the plateau.
When the people watching the battle saw it, they exclaimed again, and they didn't expect that in the end, the two of them still used the same way of playing.
