Chapter 589: Signal
Shangguan Fei took a step hard, and immediately ushered in countless glances.
He is the son of the Dubu King, but he works for the Dragon King, and he has a strange martial arts, and he killed the "younger brother" who has chased the king for the day, and these factors add up to Shangguan Fei's reputation for being completely against his will.
King Kuari showed the hatred that his brother should have, glanced at Shangguan Fei, and said, "I didn't expect the Dragon King to give me such a big gift. ”
The nobles heard the killing intent, so they all looked at the warrior of the dragon king with cold eyes, as if he was already a dead man.
Shangguan Fei's heart was pounding, both frightened and indignant, just yesterday evening, he had just heard that the person he had killed by mistake was not Wang Sun at all, King Kuari knew this better than anyone else, but now he was pretending.
Planting false accusations is the strong point of this prince, Shangguan Fei thought to himself, deeply experiencing the pain of being wronged.
He must not lose today's game, the Dragon King gave him two reasons, "In order to cover up the act of killing his own brother, King Kuari will try every means to get rid of you, rather than waiting for him to secretly attack, it is better to compete openly, the people of Beiting respect this kind of thing, as long as you win, King Kuari can only attack you in the duel arena in the future." ”
Shangguan Fei understood this truth, but he couldn't be strong, "The masters under the command of King Kuari are like clouds, I ...... I can't beat it. ”
Gu Shenwei gave him a second reason, "I also started to practice the three skills in one." ”
Shangguan Fei nodded, he was present at the time, and he was also tortured a little.
"After feeling it for the past few days, I think I've almost perfected the exercises. ”
Shangguan Fei's eyes lit up, "The Dragon King has thought of a way to get rid of the madness?"
"Well, why would I practice otherwise?"
Shangguan Fei is not a gullible person, but he believes in the Dragon King's words, "Dragon King, save me." Shangguan Fei's knees weakened, and he almost knelt down, and suddenly thought that the dragon king didn't like to plead, so he pressed his legs with both hands, and reluctantly stood up again, but his body was already a little shorter.
"Everything must be rewarded for meritorious deeds. ”
These are the two reasons why Shangguan Fei must win the competition today, he has to fight for his life, and he also has to win the favor of the Dragon King.
Gu Shen made a dangerous move, in fact, there were not many options other than this, he himself could not fight, Zhang Ji was right, that would only reduce the identity of the Dragon King, as for the others, Shangguan Ru and Old Man Mu disappeared, Henu, Chu Nanping, and Long Chuanyun each had their own tasks, and they all hid outside, Han Fen was a pure killer, and most of her tricks were not suitable for use in public competitions.
"Is it a game to be won or lost?" asked Gu Shenwei, who sent out a brief challenge with little mention of details.
King Kuari nodded with a smile, "The Dragon King has won, pick two weapons from here and take them away, I won, I want both swords and people." ”
In the ears of the nobles, the "person" that King Kuari wanted was Shangguan Fei, and only Gu Shenwei understood that this meant himself and Shangguan Shaomin.
Shangguan Fei's mission was heavier than he had imagined.
It was the turn of King Khari's warrior to appear, and instead of giving the order immediately, he beckoned to a man in the distance.
Shangguan Yun came over, and he was also invited to watch the warrior competition, but his position was relatively biased, and his title of Cloud King was the same as that of the Dragon King, and it was not recognized.
"What does Your Highness command?" Shangguan Yun had a characteristic smile on his face, but he was ruined by a slightly flattering tone, and he did not have the usual confidence and mystery.
Shangguan Fei and the third brother are by no means friendly, and they have not had much contact in the past, but they still have a little reverence for this brother who has changed from a prisoner to King Yun, and now he can't help but feel sympathy and chill when he sees Shangguan Yun inferior in front of the powerful.
In his bones, Shangguan Fei still regards himself as the ninth young master of Jinpeng Castle.
Soon, the little sympathy he had for the third brother would disappear.
"Who do you think I should send to war?" asked King Khari.
Shangguan Yun glanced at his younger brother, as if he didn't know him at all, "This person's internal skills are peculiar, boxing, knife skills, and light skills are all third-rate, and he is easy to be cowardly in battle, His Highness can send a master who is good at swords to face the battle, as long as he is not touched by his fist, he will naturally win." ”
Shangguan Fei really wanted to scold him, this is his own brother, he actually showed all his weaknesses, leaving no room at all.
"Behiko. King Khari called out a name.
Shangguan Fei had an ominous premonition in his heart, he didn't know who Bie Yan was, but looking at the expressions of the nobles around him, he knew that this was the top well-known master in Beiting.
When Bei Yan walked out of the queue and saluted King Kuari, Shangguan Fei let out a desperate snort.
Unlike those Central Plains masters who hide and use fake names, Bei Yan is a native of Beiting and does not need to hide it.
Beiyan is tall, even when he bends down to salute, he looks outstanding, and it is rare that his body is extremely well-proportioned, without a trace of fat, and his appearance is not handsome, tough and resolute, and he is even more manly.
This is simply the image of a god in Shangguan Fei's mind, he noticed this person at the beginning of the fight, but he didn't expect it to become his opponent.
Gu Shenwei knew a little about Bei Yan, and knew that he was one of the most famous masters in Beiting, and he had won the top of the warrior competition three times, as long as half of the rumors were credible, Shangguan Fei was by no means his opponent, even if the Dragon King himself competed face-to-face, he might not have much chance of winning.
The nobles were unhurried, and the audience below was a little anxious, and the call for a competition as soon as possible became louder and louder, and finally reached the ears of King Kuari, "Let's start, you two are the first one, don't let the audience down, it's very simple, as long as there is blood, you can satisfy them." ”
Shangguan Fei felt that his feet no longer belonged to him, "Ah, don't you talk about the rules first? ”
He exerted all his strength, but his voice was as small as a whisper, and in the midst of a buzz, there was no response.
Bei Yan bowed and retreated, Shangguan Fei stood still, Gu Shenwei pushed him, and whispered: "Delay a little, you will definitely win." ”
Shangguan Fei's face immediately glowed, like the return of a dying person, looking at the Dragon King with hope, the Dragon King's gaze was firm and sincere, Shangguan Fei's heart suddenly had a bottom, and his feet gave birth to strength, although his body was still a little shaky, he was finally able to take a step.
The dragon king is scheming, he said that if he can win, he will definitely win, Shangguan Fei's guess is like a bubble born from boiling water, scrambling to float upward from the bottom of his heart: poisoning, bribery, threats, plotting, which trick did the dragon king use?
Under normal circumstances, the contestants should enter the arena from different directions, but Shangguan Fei and Bei Yan have to walk the same flight of stairs.
Shangguan Fei walked behind, admiring the figure of the man in front of him, feeling that the dragon was being compared, while pondering what the dragon king's means of victory were.
Offstage, a large group of entourages and guards were guarding here, cheering in unison when they saw Bieyan, and then seeing Shangguan Fei behind him, they pouted together.
"I thought the dragon king would appear in person. ”
"No, that's what makes it interesting. ”
"Who is this? How is it like a death row inmate?"
Everyone gossiped, suppressing Shangguan Fei's newly raised confidence again.
A guard squeezed out of the crowd and handed the weapon to Bei Yan, Shangguan Fei saw it in his eyes, and gasped, the knife matched the height of the master, it was five feet long, similar to the long knife of the dragon and the clouds, and when it was wielded, it could block the enemy ten steps away, and his fist could not reach it.
The Dragon King also had guards guarding the stage, walked to Shangguan Fei's side, and said something loudly, he didn't hear clearly, and after being pushed out a few steps, he found that there was also an extra knife in his hand, the Jinpeng Fort Narrow Knife, which now looked like an embroidery needle.
The two stood side by side at the entrance of the venue, Shangguan Fei looked up at Bie Yan, showing the most tender smile, hoping to get a little favor, "Hello, my name is Shangguan Fei, do you understand what King Kuari meant? He wants to live, so let's not kill him, especially you ......"
Bei Yan glanced down at his opponent with a strange smile, and a few words popped out of his mouth in a rough voice, all in Beiting dialect.
Shangguan Fei snorted in his heart, the language was not understood, how could he delay time? and...... Bei Yan's teeth are too ugly, inside and out, black and yellow, as if one or two are missing.
Long Chuanyun returned to the first place in Shangguan Fei's mind.
I don't know who pushed it from behind, Shangguan Fei entered the field first, stumbled, almost fell, and after standing up straight, he inexplicably remembered the games in the former school.
At that time, he was still competing with his sister for the title of "Nine Sons", and he often called the slaves to come in to compete in martial arts between classes, who would have thought that after only a few years, the person who was forced to play was replaced by him.
The audience let out earth-shattering cheers, and Shangguan Fei bowed his head and walked forward, knowing that this enthusiasm had nothing to do with him.
The arena was very large, fifty paces square, and the soldiers of the North Courtyard formed a sparse human wall, which was considered a boundary, and most of the spectators were herdsmen, many of whom simply stood on horseback, shouting excitedly.
The voice quickly converged into a clear two words, "Beiyan", it turned out that the name was the same in different languages, Shangguan Fei didn't understand why he was thinking about some useless things, and delaying the game as much as possible was the most important thing at the moment.
A nobleman acts as a referee, and the task is simple, report the names of the two contestants, in the format of the title of the master first, the contestant behind, and then withdraw and stay with the audience.
As for the criterion of winning or losing the competition, it is even simpler, it will not end until one side admits defeat or falls to the ground, and there is no draw, they all fall, it depends on who stands up first, they all die, and it depends on whose wounds are few.
"Wait. Shangguan stopped the referee who was about to leave the field, "I have a question, Bei Yan can't speak Zhongyuan, if he admits defeat, what if I don't understand?"
The referee snorted disdainfully and said "I admit defeat" in Beiting language, "Remember?"
"Well, remember, wait, I still have questions......"
Shangguan Fei grabbed the referee and looked up at the noble seat frequently, waiting for the Dragon King to send a signal that he could compete.
Gu Shenwei is also waiting for a signal.
One of the guards walked up to the Dragon King, nodded, and immediately stepped back.
Gu Shenwei turned around and whispered to King Kuari: "There is a person who claims that King Kuari is preparing to rebel, but fortunately it fell into my hands. ”
King Kuari laughed disdainfully, "This kind of thing often happens, so the Dragon King can handle it at will." ”
Kozhen is dead, and King Kwari doesn't believe that anyone else can come up with evidence to accuse him.
"He is a Jinpeng killer, saying that he was once ordered to kill people in the untouchable area, does King Kwari have any impression?"
King Kuari's face changed suddenly, in the original plan, the person responsible for killing the fake Kuozhen was a Jinpeng killer, but by mistake Shangguan Fei took the lead, but how could this killer fall into the hands of the Dragon King?
King Kuari turned his head sharply and looked at Shangguan Yun, who also looked at him with a look of disbelief.
