Chapter 106: Life and Death
The triennial martial arts conference has always been regarded as the year-end ceremony of the Great Qin State, and everyone from the royal family and nobles to the common people of Li has paid special attention.
In the early morning of the same day, Wang Ke led the team to set off early, and when he arrived at the place, he found that the venue was already crowded, which was more than the tourist attractions of the May Day holiday in his previous life. Fortunately, there is a special passage for the participating martial arts hall, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to squeeze in.
Nanxiang Wuguan now also has a unified uniform, all white samurai uniforms, the difference is that the apprentice's hem is rolled with black edges, Zhang Ye Xia Xueqing and the four sect heads are embroidered with red patterns, while Wang Ke is white-clothed and not stained with variegated colors. This is naturally to satisfy Wang Ke's heart The image of a master who is dressed in white like snow and a sword like a rainbow, and his body is like flowing water and his eyes are like a bright eye, but he is really spiritual and eye-catching when he wears it.
Zheng Yuan and Wu Zhichao's identities should not be exposed, so they did not go with them, but they were already waiting at the door of the venue, and saw Wang Ke hurriedly greet them and introduce them into the venue.
The venue of the martial arts conference was the Imperial Forest Military Academy, which had been prepared a few days in advance.
The high platform on the front is divided into luxuriously decorated private rooms, which are the seats for the royal nobles, family lords and civil and military officials. Of course, as the top three in the last session, the three martial arts halls of Tiangang, Bright Sun, and Broken Blade also have seats.
On both sides are the rest areas of other martial arts halls, but they are much simpler, just simple pergolas, one for each martial arts hall, and they are lined up from near to far from the viewing platform in the order of the previous ranking.
As for the spectator seats on both sides of the main entrance of the school open to ordinary people, they are even more modest, with only rows of seats from low to high, which are somewhat similar to the stadium in Wang Ke's previous life.
Ten rings were set up in the middle of the school grounds. Each seat is tall enough to be seen from outside the venue, and all the matches are played in these rings.
Nanxiang Wuguan represented Songjiang Prefecture this time. can only sit in the position of the Gaishi Martial Arts Hall, and the seat in the thirty-three county mansions is the last. As a military envoy, such a ranking made Zheng Yuan's face a little embarrassed, but Wang Ke said optimistically: "This location is good, it is easy to enter and exit, you can walk a lot less, besides." Even if we go out of the water, we can run faster than inside. ”
Not long after I sat down, someone came to inform the halls to draw lots to decide the grouping and order of each game. Wang Ke, accompanied by Zheng Yuan and Wu Zhichao, went over to draw lots.
There were already a lot of hall owners waiting at the lottery place, everyone was a frequent visitor to the martial arts conference, and they were all familiar with each other, chatting in groups of three. The purple-faced man who was slapped away by Wang Ke that day was also among them.
"Yo. There are still newcomers coming this year, which county is it from?"
"Isn't that person the military envoy of Songjiang Mansion, this Songjiang Mansion is getting more and more finished, and he actually got an offspring to compete. ”
"The future is terrifying, don't care if other people's martial arts are high or not, this appearance is a dozen. ”
"It's a fart to look good, this is a martial arts conference, not a harem draft. ”
These owners have always believed that strength is paramount. Seeing Wang Ke dressed up so sassy, most of them identified him as an embroidered pillow. Dismissive. There are also a few people who know that the purple-faced man was slapped away by him, but it is not easy to mention it in front of the parties, and they all look at the purple-faced man playfully.
When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed. The purple-faced man saw that Wang Ke's eyes seemed to be on fire, and since he left the Yuelai Inn that day, he inquired about Wang Ke's details through his connections.
I thought he was a rising star from a county where martial arts flourished, but who knew that Wang Ke was actually from Songjiang, a poor rural area. There is only one sect that does not enter the stream, and the Gaishi Martial Arts Hall is the bottom of the previous session, he suddenly regarded this matter as a great shame, if it weren't for the martial arts conference, he really wanted to rush up and teach Wang Ke a good lesson.
However, not doing it does not mean doing nothing, seeing Wang Ke in white Shengxue, he said loudly: "Wang Ke, I didn't expect that I was really self-aware, and I actually put on all the filial piety clothes in advance." ”
Although the martial arts conference is not a life-and-death fight, but the fists and feet have no eyes, death and injury are inevitable, and Zhongzhou takes white as filial piety, which immediately attracted a low laugh.
Wang Ke replied with a smile: "Self-knowledge is better than not knowing life and death, even if you are dressed as a purple eggplant, you should shoot in seconds." ”
It's a pity that his words are really a bit ahead of the times, and no one understands them, but fortunately, there has always been no shortage of praise around Wang Ke, Zheng Yuan immediately asked playfully: "Pavilion Master Wang, the official of Purple Eggplant understands, but what does this second shot mean, I hope to see you." ”
"Shoot in seconds, some men are extremely fast, and women have no choice but to use purple eggplant to go to the fire, you know. Wang Ke said with a smile.
You know, immediately let everyone understand, plus the purple-faced man is wearing purple clothes, he really has the style of a purple eggplant, and everyone laughs.
However, everyone is very curious about what grievances there are between the two, why they start pinching as soon as they meet, and some people who know whispered it, I heard that the purple-faced man was slapped twice in a row, and he really responded to Wang Ke's words of "second shot", the laughter became louder, and his opinion on Wang Ke also changed a little.
The purple-faced man was so angry that his blood swelled up, but he was more like a purple eggplant, and said angrily: "Wang Ke, last time my subordinates showed mercy to you and let you take advantage, you still dare to insult me like this!
Although the martial arts conference is a competition, it is not forbidden to fight a life-and-death duel, as long as both sides make a life-and-death relationship at the same time.
The passion of the hall owners was immediately mobilized, today's martial arts conference was too exciting, and there was a life-and-death duel before it started.
"No problem, as long as you are on the same stage as me, I will live and die. Wang Ke said.
"A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase! Wang Ke, don't regret it when the time comes. The purple-faced man said.
"Don't worry, you don't regret it. By the way, please ask your surname, you have to establish a life and death situation, and you can't even know what your surname is. Wang Ke said.
The purple-faced man was almost so angry that he vomited blood, and he didn't know who he was for a long time, so he didn't take his tenth session in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Ke, you listen to me, I am Yang Chenglin, the owner of the Zihong Martial Arts Pavilion, and I am nicknamed ......."
"Stop!" Wang Ke raised his hand to interrupt his words and said, "Just know what your name is, don't talk about other nonsense." ”
Yang Chenglin was so angry that he rolled his eyes at Wang Ke, if it weren't for the fact that the Martial Arts Court started to draw lots, he would have to share life and death with him now, but when he saw the result of the final grouping, he immediately laughed out loud: "Wang Ke, quickly sign a life and death contract with me!"
