Shui Congyue won two more games in a row. Black Rock City had exploded, and people in the streets were talking about it. This was something that hadn't happened in many years. Li Ren was actually defeated three times in a row by outsiders, and he was the tailless person he usually looked down on the most. .five
Not to mention Li Ren's helplessness, Wu Gen, Bao Xiang, Ye Ziming and others were busy making money all day long. The income of the wine shop and Cangpu far exceeded several people's imagination. Even the newly recruited woman was in Ninglian Tea. With his guidance, I can barely dance a song in Xiaoyao Pavilion.
On the day of the performance, the streets in Black Rock City were almost empty, and people gathered in front of Xiaoyao Pavilion. It turns out that women can be so charming and seductive. Looking back at my mother-in-law's bulging muscular arms, I suddenly felt a little off. On this day, countless men in Black Rock City were beaten with black noses and swollen faces and were driven out of their homes.
The money was flowing into his account like water, and Zhege was a little frightened when he saw the sky crystal stones, all kinds of exotic herbs, rare treasures, and treasures rolling in.
In just a few days, I accumulated wealth that I would never be able to earn in my lifetime. Although many powerful people were dissatisfied with his way of protecting outsiders and colluding with outsiders, Zhege didn't care at all at this time.
No one would refuse the temptation of wealth. Now, let alone assisting Wu Gen, they would be willing to let him put on a dress and sing like those dancers.
After the third game, Mingzheng went to Zhege's yard in person and visited Shui Congyue.
Before coming, Wu Gen had a serious talk with Zhege. The two argued fiercely in the room. After a long time, Zhege walked out dejectedly.
Mingzheng and Ji Ye arrived hand in hand, and Zhege specially prepared a dinner. No specific matters were discussed during the dinner, nor did they express any opinions on Shui Congyue's three consecutive victories and Wu Gen and others' wanton plunder of Li Ren's wealth.
However, at the table, Zhege stood up solemnly, bowed and saluted, and offered to donate 30% of all business profits to Mingzheng as military supplies for the powerful army.
Ming Zheng was slightly surprised when he heard this. He picked up the wine cup in front of him and walked up to Zhege. He patted his shoulder playfully with a smile, raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp. "Good wine." After saying that, he talked to Ji Ye. He left with his entourage.
After Mingzheng left, Zhege's drunken face gradually turned pale and started to tremble.
In the dead of night, Zhege found Wu Gen's residence alone. As soon as he opened the door, he bowed his head and saluted, "Thank you for saving my life, brother."
Wu Gen accepted the gift calmly, with a smile on his lips, "Understood?"
"I understand." Zhege was still frightened.
Wu Gen let him into the house, and the two sat at the table. Wu Gen poured two cups of sake and handed one cup to Zhege, "An elephant burns its body with its teeth, and a clam cuts its body with its pearls. Sitting on so much money, but unable to protect yourself. As the saying goes, if you are full, you will be blamed. If this continues, A sure way to die."
Zhege brought the wine to his mouth, and when he was about to drink it, he gritted his teeth and spilled it on the ground. Wu Gen was stunned, what was this old guy doing? Was he throwing wine? It was money.
"When I was young, I traveled around the Great Relic Continent. I once heard a saying from you Tailless people: The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, but the friendship between villains is as sweet as sweet wine. Wu Gen, you save my life, you can drink with me a cup of water Can you?" Zhege put down the wine cup in his hand and stared at Wu Gen eagerly.
"Haha, haha." Wu Gen awkwardly picked up his wine cup and carefully poured the wine back into the jar. He poured some water into the wine cup in front of Zhege and refilled himself, and then said, "Since Brother Zhege has this intention, then I might as well go back to Fengya and be a gentleman for once. Please."
Seeing Wu Gen holding up the wine cup filled with water, Zhege also quickly raised it and said, "Thank you." He drank all the water in the cup.
Wu Gen smiled and drank the water, "Gentlemen value tea brewed under bamboo and flowing water from high mountains. It's good for us. Drinking water is like drinking water from cows, which is unfashionable. But it doesn't matter. After this incident, Brother Zhege is really a brother. Already."
Zhege breathed a sigh of relief, sat slumped on the chair, and sighed: "Wu Gen, you said that at such a young age, you suddenly lived so transparently. I have lived in vain these past few decades."
Wu Gen waved his hand disapprovingly, "Brother, I don't know. I have lived in a bandit village since I was a child. Although it is a small village, a bunch of evil people gather together and they will not use any means. I live alone. in it
, helpless, don’t you just survive by observing people’s emotions, by being cautious, by adapting to the wind, and by being shameless?
If you don't live transparently, you won't be able to survive if you don't live transparently. If you really have the blessing of your parents, the protection of your family, and the protection of your power, why should you live so transparently? Isn't it better to be a fool? Are you right, bro? "
Zhege looked at Wu Gen in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face, "I didn't expect that my little brother would suffer so much. It's really sad."
"Forget it, let's not mention the past. Only after Mingzheng comes this time, you and I will be truly safe. The benefits must be shared equally, otherwise, sooner or later, disaster will come." Wu Gen looked a little tired. "After Cong Yue finishes the last two games and sees how many people are injured, we will leave. What happens next, good or bad, depends on my fate."
After pondering for a moment, Zhege said solemnly, "The last two games are not going to be easy to fight. I think you are also a martial arts practitioner, so you might as well put down your business and observe carefully. Although I am not a martial arts practitioner, My ability to defeat other tribes does not depend on having a large number of people, but on being able to fight.
The reason Shui Congyue was able to win three games was because the truly powerful people in the clan didn't bother to fight. However, I heard that the two people who were originally going to appear have been replaced by people with powerful skills. Shui Congyue must be careful and not be careless. "
Wu Gen was startled, but he was not surprised, "Sooner or later, Ming Zheng's visit shows that Li people have begun to pay attention to it. How can they let those cats and dogs come on stage again? No matter who his opponents are, that's all. But, you Do you know who these two are, what their abilities are, and whether there are ways to deal with them."
Zhege was silent for a while and stood up without saying a word. When he came to the door, he turned back and said, "Don't forget, I am also a strong person."
Wu Gen smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was okay. He sat on the chair and watched Zhege close the door and leave.
The fourth matchup came as scheduled, and Wu Gen followed Zhege's instructions and sat on the sidelines early, staring at what was going on in the court. From Shui Congyue's side, it didn't really matter whether he reminded him or not. As long as he was an opponent, he would definitely go all out.
The opponent was a middle-aged tough man in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance. He carried a long bow on his back, two swords crossed on his back, and two short blades on his waist. Wu Gen suddenly discovered that what he had mocked Ye Ziming had actually come true. Someone really carried so many weapons with him.
Turning his head to look at a slightly empty spot in the stands, Ming Zheng and a group of dignitaries from Black Rock City were quietly waiting for the battle to begin. This was Ming Zheng's first time attending a game, and for a while, the stands became quite quiet.
Shui Congyue walked out. Today he changed into a white robe. His handsome appearance and slender figure made him even more handsome and elegant.
The drums sounded, and the two figures flew up, their swords and halberds intersecting, but they quickly separated. With one blow, both of them had an estimate of each other's strength.
The middle-aged man put his right hand on his chest, bowed and saluted, then raised his head and chuckled, pointing the tip of his long knife at Shui Congyue.
Shui Congyue also bowed his hands in a salute, holding a halberd in one hand and pointing at his opponent from a distance. Sure enough, the opponent this time was much stronger, and it seemed that he still had some strength left.
There was a flash of cold light, and the white light of the long sword was like flying snow all over the sky, and it rolled towards Shui Congyue. The halberd was held out like a dragon, the red tip of the halberd flashed like a feather flying into the white snow.
The tinkling, red and white colors alternate with each other, and the crisp impact sound is like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate, which is pleasant to the ear. The two people, one black and one white, danced like cranes in the open animal field. Either chop or hack, or trample forward or march like a tiger, or strike hard with thunder, or cross the river with light reeds. Suddenly, the crowds of people in the field were flying up and down.
There was silence in the stands. No one expected that a life-and-death fight could be so satisfying, and that bloody and cold weapons could be transformed into musical instruments that produced wonderful sounds.
Ming Zheng nodded slightly. The middle-aged man was his general and was specially summoned from the military camp this time. He naturally knew that this kind of battle that looked very cool was actually very dangerous.
Not only are you skilled in moves and adaptable to changes, but you also need to be focused on using your true energy, just right, and move at any time. If you are not careful, you may lose your sense of proportion and be caught by your opponent.
As time passed, there were more and more boos in the stands, all asking the middle-aged man to defeat his opponent quickly. middle
The young man glanced in Ming Zheng's direction, feeling a little anxious.
With his heart crossed, he was the first to change his move. He jumped into the air. After a loud roar, he slashed out with two swords like wheels. The white sword energy drew a big "Y" character in the air and slashed towards the water on the ground from the moon. . At the same time, the middle-aged man held the handle of the knife behind his back with both hands, and followed the character "Y" forward closely.
The water shook from the moon halberd, and the figure retreated. The tip of the halberd vibrated at high speed, and the Qi of the Yi-shaped sword was quickly activated. In an instant, the two collided countless times, and the sword energy gradually disintegrated and flew in all directions. On the stone wall in the distance, there were various knife marks.
Suddenly, the water rose from the moon halberd to the right side of the body, and with two clanking sounds, two long knives appeared from nowhere and struck the halberd pole. The strength was so great that Shui Congyue couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The middle-aged man's figure appeared behind the knife, the knife was as bright as snow, and he kept pushing towards Shui Congyue. The man's move broke the existing rhythm of the two and suppressed Shui Congyue's momentum. Now that he has the upper hand, there is no reason to rest.
For a moment, facing the opponent's fierce offensive, Shui Congyue could only take a defensive position, blocking his halberd left and right, and kept retreating to temporarily avoid its sharpness. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow from the corner of his eye. It turned out that he had retreated to the stone wall, and there was no way out behind him.
Seeing the man's stern eyes hidden behind the light of the sword, Shui Congyue smiled softly, retreated sharply, and went straight up along the stone wall.
The man followed without hesitation. Suddenly, the man running on the wall suddenly turned around, turned his body in a circle in the air, and passed the light of his own sword.
No, the middle-aged man's whole body was covered with chills. Just when he turned around, he felt a chill in his throat. The tip of the halberd was already less than three inches away from his skin.
Looking at the flashing red halberd tip, the man suddenly felt something dripping on his chest. When he looked down, he saw that although the tip of the halberd had not penetrated his body, the sharp murderous aura had already cut his skin.
At this time, I didn't know why, but the other party deliberately kept his hand. In such a fierce life-and-death fight, he could act so freely and with ease, which shows that his attainments in martial arts are higher than his own.
Looking up at the young man holding a halberd in one hand, the middle-aged man took a long breath and said, "Why don't you do it."
Shui Congyue shook his arm and put the halberd behind him, "I always feel that you are hiding something and haven't used it yet. When a lion fights a rabbit, you use all your strength. When you and I fight, you actually have the idea of retaining your strength. Isn’t it ridiculous? It’s foolish to have strength but not use it, to freeze to death while wearing a golden coat.”
The middle-aged man touched his throat, stretched out his hand to throw the blood on the ground, "You have learned the lesson, I underestimated you, it is stupid to be arrogant and get yourself into trouble."
Taking off the long bow from his body, the man smiled brightly at Shui Congyue, "Then I will come up with real methods."
"Please give me some advice." Shui Congyue stood with a halberd on his back and faced him proudly.
