Saga Nozomi couldn't judge, so she simply chose based on her place of birth. The Black Fang on both sides of the duel was born in Bianliang, and Saga Nozomi now considers himself to be from Bianliang, so he subconsciously feels that the Black Fang who was born in Bianliang is very close to him, so he points at the Black Fang. Said: "I choose the one on Black's side."
The maid in the red dress nodded and asked, "How much do you want to bet, Miss?"
Saga Nozomi thought for a while and said: "Let's bet thirty taels of silver." The maid in the red skirt said: "Okay, please ask the lady's maid to come with the silver note." Saga Nozomi said to the maid Nodding, the maid followed the maid in the red dress. Soon after, the maid came back and handed a ticket to Nozomi Saga, saying: "Miss, this is the ticket they issued. They said that if you win, you can use this ticket to collect it at the place where you placed your bet. Bonus." Saga Xiyou nodded.
Bang bang bang, the door rang several times. The maid immediately went over and opened the door, and saw a maid in a red dress standing at the door with a smile, holding a food plate, and said: "This is the refreshment we provide for free." The maid stepped aside, and the maid in red dress left. He came in, placed all the refreshments on the small round table in front of Saga Nozomi, then withdrew and closed the door.
Seeing that the refreshments were very exquisite, Saga Nozomi could not help but eat and drink even though she was not hungry. Thinking of what he saw in Bianliang City tonight, he couldn't help but chat with the maid. Both the master and the maid looked very interested, and time passed by unconsciously.
when! Suddenly there was a loud sound of a gong. The two masters and maidservants couldn't help being startled and looked towards the field. The whole place gradually became quiet, and a middle-aged woman stood in the middle of the competition venue and said loudly: "Dear guests, tonight's exciting iron-blooded battle is about to take place!" The audience couldn't help but get excited. He stood up and let out bursts of howls. Infected by the atmosphere of the scene, Saga Nozomi almost couldn't help shouting.
"We invite two warriors to come forward!"
Following her shout, bursts of shouts immediately rang out from the audience, and they were divided into two groups, each shouting the names of the dueling parties. At the same time, a burly warrior wearing heavy black armor and a black cape holding a mace walked into the field from the left, while a burly warrior wearing red heavy armor and a red cape holding a pure steel long staff came from the The entrance on the right leads into the grounds.
The audience's shouts instantly turned into howls, and Saga Nozomi and his maidservant couldn't help shouting, their wild blood was already boiling.
The host raised his right hand, and the dueling parties immediately stepped forward and stared at each other from a few steps away. Although the audience was far away, they could already feel the strong murderous intent of the dueling parties, and they couldn't help but become more excited. However, the scene The noise quickly calmed down. Saga Nozomi and his maidservant opened their eyes wide and held their breath.
The host took a few steps back, put down his right hand suddenly, and shouted at the same time: "Start!" Then he turned around and ran away.
I saw the black warrior roaring, stepping forward, swinging the mace with both hands and sweeping towards the opponent's waist. The red warrior immediately took a step back, and saw the mace whizzing past the red warrior, and hit the red warrior in a dangerous way. The audience couldn't help but howl. Saga Nozomi and his maidservant were both nervous and excited. They just hoped that their warriors would continue to attack and defeat the opponent quickly!
At this moment, the red warrior suddenly took a step forward and hit the black warrior's wrist with a long pure steel stick in his hand. Black's warrior just used a move that was too old, and he didn't have time to draw back and block. Only a loud snap was heard, and the long pure steel stick hit the black warrior's wrist hard. The sound was so loud that people couldn't help but wonder if the black warrior's wrist was broken! This sudden reversal caused the spectators who supported the red warriors to cheer together, while the spectators who supported the black warriors all exclaimed. Saga Nozomi and his maidservant even raised their hearts in their throats.
Black's warrior felt pain in his wrist and took several steps back. The warrior on the red side was unyielding when he gained the upper hand. He attacked fiercely and used a long pure steel stick in his hand to strike from bottom to top. His moves were very tricky. Black's warrior obviously did not expect the opponent's move, his steps were messy, and he waved his mace with both hands to seal the attack. However, the mace was too heavy and it was too late. His steps were messed up and he couldn't dodge. The red steel rod hit the black warrior on the waist and hip, and the black warrior groaned. Immediately afterwards, the red warrior wrapped the steel rod around his waist and swept the stick from the other direction towards the black warrior with both hands. The black warrior could no longer dodge, and saw the steel rod hitting the black warrior's waist hard. The black warrior groaned and fell to the ground.
The spectators who supported the red warrior cheered loudly, while the spectators who supported the black warrior were depressed and extremely disappointed.
The red warrior did not pursue the victory and stopped. The MILF host basically came and shouted to the black warrior who fell to the ground: "Do we still want to compete?" The black warrior seemed unable to speak, but nodded. The host immediately said loudly: "I'm starting to read, one, two, three,..." Saga Nozomi, the master and the maidservant, watched the black warrior who fell to the ground try his best to stand up. They couldn't help but feel shocked in their hearts. The rest of the audience also cheered for him!
When the host read the ninth move, the black warrior finally stood up staggeringly with his mace.
The host raised his right hand and said loudly: "Okay! Get ready!" The red warrior held the steel rod, and the black warrior held the mace tightly with both hands and stared at the opponent. The host lowered his right hand suddenly and said, "Continue!"
The red warrior stepped forward and stabbed the black warrior in the chest with the steel rod in his hand. The black warrior didn't even dodge, and the steel rod hit the black warrior in the chest with a bang. Saga Nozomi couldn't help but exclaimed. At this moment, the black warrior suddenly stretched out his left hand and grabbed the opponent's steel rod, raised the mace with his right hand and smashed it hard on the opponent's head! This sudden reversal made all the audience exclaimed!
At the critical moment, the red warrior turned his head to dodge. However, he avoided the skull-crushing evil, but could not completely avoid the opponent's mace. The mace hit the red warrior on the left shoulder with a bang, causing the red warrior to kneel on one knee! The red warrior roared angrily, and despite the severe pain that felt like his whole body was falling apart, he took advantage of the situation and withdrew the steel rod held by his opponent. He spun his body and swept the black warrior's calf with the stick with one hand! The black warrior had no time to dodge and was hit hard by the steel rod. He groaned and fell to the ground! This fight lasted only a moment, but it was extremely thrilling!
The warriors on both sides were separated. The black warrior fell to the ground again, while the red warrior barely managed to survive with a steel rod. The scene was completely silent, and then there was an extremely enthusiastic shout. Master Saga Nozomi and his maidservant's eyes widened with shock. They had never heard of such a warrior fighting, let alone seeing it before!
The host ran up again and shouted to the black warrior who fell to the ground: "Give up?" The black warrior did not speak, but struggled to stand up. The answer was self-evident. The host immediately said: "I started reading, one, two, three..."
The black warrior had already gotten up, but could not continue. His body went limp and he fell down again, spurting out a mouthful of blood. The red warrior's move of Poison Dragon Leaving the Hole just now obviously caused him serious injury. The audience supporting the black warrior kept shouting: "Stand up! Stand up! Don't fall down!..." The black warrior was indeed trying his best, but he was too seriously injured and kept vomiting blood. Couldn't stand up at all.
The host kept reading, and when he reached ten, the black warrior finally failed to stand up. Huge cheers rang out at the scene, and countless people shouted the names of the red warriors. At the same time, more than a dozen ambulance personnel rushed in and carried both the red and black parties down.
Saga Xiyu's maid was extremely disappointed and said: "Miss, our warrior has been defeated!" Saga Xiyu nodded, and then her eyes showed excitement and said: "This trip is really not in vain for us!" He stood up and said to his maid: "It's getting late, let's go back." Then he led the maid away. On the way, I heard everyone talking about the competition just now. The audience who supported the red warriors were delighted, and the audience who supported the black warriors also admired the black warriors. Also, although Black's warrior lost, he also lost beautifully. Everyone can see that there is a big gap between the strength of Black's warrior and his opponent, but he actually dared to inflict heavy damage on his opponent by killing both of them, and almost turned the tables! No one admires such bravery!
What everyone admires is a true warrior, and a true warrior is not invincible, but he must defeat vigorously, like a warrior! Just like Xiang Yu, he is a loser, but why do he have more admirers than the winner Liu Bang? There is no other reason, because he is a true brave and a true overlord! Although Liu Bang won, it was just a villain's ambition. Although Xiang Yu was defeated, the last battle by the Wu River was vigorous and bloody, and the mountains and rivers were stained with blood. His bravery and domineering power will last forever and no one can compare! So everyone admires Xiang Yu!
As Saga Xiyou walked on the street, she was extremely determined to become a member of the Ming Dynasty, and subconsciously she regarded herself as a Bianliang person of the Ming Dynasty.
His eyes turned to the royal study room of the palace. Zhang Xiang came to see Yang Peng and said: "Your Majesty, not long ago, Mr. Sima came to find Weichen again and said that he knew that he had committed a heinous crime, but he was ignorant of Taishan and acted recklessly in front of your Majesty and the empress! In order to atone for his sin, he is willing to give half of the Sima family's The property is handed over to the public!”
Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "This old tough guy who never pulls out anything has actually become so generous!"
Zhang Xiang smiled and said: "They must be scared to death now! Of course they don't dare not to pluck their hair!"
Yang Peng smiled and waved his hand, "Just laugh at this kind of thing, but you can't really show his filial piety."
Zhang Xiang said: "My subordinates told him that His Majesty is the most saintly monarch in history, with a mind as big as the sea. He would never have any prejudice against him because of this matter, and told him not to be so. But he just didn't listen and insisted. I will dedicate half of my family wealth to Your Majesty. My subordinates have no choice but to come and report to Your Majesty."
Yang Peng said: "There is no need to nag him. Just tell him that if you don't accept it, you won't accept it. If he nags you again, just kick him out." Zhang Xiang smiled and said: "I obey the order." After a pause, he said: "Your Majesty, regarding the Western Catholics' plan to launch a holy war against our country, the Ming Dynasty..."
Yang Peng said: "We have already discussed this matter. The Western world is thousands of miles away from us, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. Even if the Western world really wants to send troops, the scale will be limited. If it sends troops from land, they must pass through the Western world. Will Liao and Xiliao let them pass by? I'm afraid they will have a big battle before they have a confrontation with our army. If we send troops from the water, haha, we must first pass our navy. Based on my understanding of this era The West understands that it is difficult for their navy to compete with our army. Even if they are lucky enough to break through the barrier and reach the Bagan area, their military strength will be very limited. With Duan Zhixian and his elite troops, they can be completely wiped out. Therefore, there is no need at all. Take the so-called jihad in the Western world seriously. Although these guys are shouting loudly now, they will stop once they find that things are difficult to do. Rushing to mobilize armies and transport supplies for this 'threat' that is not a threat will only It makes us work in vain and pay unnecessary costs."
Zhang Xiang frowned and said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. However, relevant information has been coming continuously during this period, which always makes my subordinates uneasy!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Just keep your heart in your stomach. I guarantee you that nothing will happen to you."
Zhang Xiang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's words, my subordinates cannot bear it."
Yang Peng said: "Okay, it's getting late. You should go back and rest early." Zhang Xiang bowed and said: "I excuse you." Then he went down.
Yang Peng smiled, thinking of things in the West, he didn't take it to heart very much. However, I feel that my current understanding of the Western world is still too superficial. All aspects of intelligence only remain at a rough concept. Hua Xu's tentacles have just entered the Western world, and it is not yet possible to describe the ecology of the entire Western society, let alone It is difficult to obtain important information on Western societies in a timely manner, let alone confidential information within them. But there is no need to worry about this. After all, conflicts between our side and Western society should not happen yet. Even if it does happen, the intensity will be limited. We still have time to build a complete intelligence network in Western society.
Yang Peng put these thoughts behind his mind, got up and left the imperial study room.
When Zhang Xiang returned to his residence, the official immediately came to report: "Sir, Mr. Sima is still waiting for you!"
Zhang Xiang smiled bitterly and muttered: "This old guy!" When he walked into the hall, he saw Mr. Sima pacing back and forth anxiously, and said with a smile: "Mr. Sima." Mr. Sima heard Zhang Xiang's words He quickly turned around and saw Zuo Mou. He quickly came forward and bowed: "My lord, you are back!"
Zhang Xiang smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you to go back first?"
Mr. Sima said: "The common people are really worried! Sir, have you seen His Majesty?" Zuo Mou nodded. Mr. Sima couldn't help but feel excited, "Your Majesty, he, he..."
Zhang Xiang waved his hand and said: "His Majesty asked me to tell you that it was just a misunderstanding and he had already forgotten it. As for your intention to donate family property, His Majesty will never accept it."
Mr. Sima was greatly disappointed and frightened, and said: "Your Majesty refuses to accept the apology from the poor people, and he will never forgive the poor people! What should I do?"
Zhang Xiang said angrily: "Who is your Majesty? He is a great hero who has never been born in thousands of years! Your Majesty said he doesn't blame you, so naturally he won't blame you. What are you still doing here?" Mr. Sima frowned. He frowned and said: "What your Excellency said is certainly good. But, but, your Majesty does not accept Cao Min's apology. Cao Min, Cao Min is really uneasy in his heart!"
Zhang Xiang felt that there was no way he could talk to this guy, and said angrily: "If you keep messing around, don't blame me for driving you out!" Seeing Zhang Xiang's anger, Mr. Sima couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
Zhang Xiang said in a gentle tone: "This matter of yours is just a speck of dust to His Majesty. Your Majesty will not take it seriously, and neither will the Queen. If Your Majesty and the Queen are really dissatisfied with you, Your Majesty would have I won’t accompany you to your house to apologize to you.” When Mr. Sima heard this, he couldn’t help but feel relieved, but he still couldn’t feel completely relieved and couldn’t help asking: “Your Majesty, he, he really doesn’t blame the common people. ?" Zhang Xiang nodded, "Don't blame me anymore! I guarantee it for you!"
Mr. Sima was silent for a moment, sighed, bowed to Zhang Xiang, and said, "Thank you for your help, sir. Our Sima family will never forget your benefits!" Zhang Xiang quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't harm me! This is what I said. I'll just pretend you didn't say anything! It's not because it's about your Sima family that I made this trip. Even if I was an ordinary civilian, I would do this. Don't think too much! Okay, it's getting late. , you go back." "Yes, yes, your lord is loyal to the country, upright and honest, and the common people have offended me. The common people will not disturb you anymore, and the common people will leave." "No." Mr. Sima left. Zhang Xiang glanced at Mr. Sima's back, sighed, and shook his head.
Mr. Sima returned home. The third master, who had been waiting anxiously, saw his father coming back and hurriedly came up to greet him. He asked anxiously: "Dad, how is the situation?"
Mr. Sima sighed. The third master's face changed drastically, and he stammered and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, he, he won't forgive us! Then, then..." As he spoke, his whole body couldn't help but tremble, as if counting nine. It's like standing naked outdoors in the cold weather.
Mr. Sima waved his hand and said, "No. Mr. Zhang said that His Majesty has forgiven us a long time ago."
The third master breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "Dad, this kind of joke is not allowed! The child was almost scared to death!"
Mr. Sima frowned and said, "That being said, His Majesty rejected our donation."
The third master was stunned and asked in confusion: "Dad, is there any problem with this?"
Mr. Sima glared at his son and cursed: "You idiot! His Majesty has not accepted our filial piety, so he does not necessarily forgive us. Don't you understand this?" The third master couldn't help but turn pale again, "Then, Then what should we do?" Mr. Sima thought: "It would be nice to meet His Majesty." The third master smiled bitterly and said: "How is this possible! Although His Majesty is far more friendly to the people than the previous emperors, ordinary people still want to meet him. It is not an easy task. Even if we make a request to the government, the government will only accuse us of being crazy."
Mr. Sima thought: "Maybe this method is feasible." The third master looked at his father curiously. Mr. Sima smiled and said, "That's it."
After Saga Xiyou stayed in Bianliang for a few days, he came to the palace to meet Yang Peng.
Yang Peng asked with a smile: "How are you living these days?" Saga Xiyou nodded and said: "Great! The common people have never been so comfortable!" Then he bowed: "Your Majesty, the common people have an idea. Please grant your Majesty’s permission.”
Yang Peng said: "Tell me and listen."
Saga Xiyou's eyes showed enthusiasm and hope, and said: "The common people just want to do their part for the Ming Dynasty. Please do it, Your Majesty!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Didn't you already send an important piece of information? This is already very good!"
Saga Xiyou said quickly: "This is far from enough. The common people want to make real achievements for Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty!" Yang Peng glanced at Saga Xiyou and saw that her eyes were full of desire. He knew What she said was probably true, and she asked: "Why do you want to serve the Ming Dynasty?" Saga Nozomi was stunned, and then thought: "The common people, the common people can't say clearly, but they have this in their hearts. Such a desire!”
Yang Peng nodded, "Okay. I can give you a chance."
Saga Xiyu was overjoyed and thanked him: "Thank you for your grace!"
Yang Peng said: "I will give you the identity of a Jinyiwei spy. After you return to Kyoto, someone will contact you. What we want you to do will be told through that person. If you find any valuable information, you can also contact him through that person." Someone told us." "Yes. I am determined to serve the country with loyalty!" Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.
On the same day, Saga Xiyou led several followers and left Bianliang on the return journey. After traveling day and night on the road, we finally returned home to Kyoto.
Master Saga, who had been worried about his daughter, saw that his daughter had finally returned unharmed. He couldn't help but let go of his choice, and then hurriedly asked his daughter about the results of her career. Saga Nozomi will meet the Ming Emperor to report information. The Ming Emperor promised to confer a title once the information is confirmed to be true. She also told her father about her request to become a Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei secret agent. My father was happy and worried at the same time. After a while, he said, "I just don't know if Ming Dynasty is really worth taking such a big risk!"
Saga Xiyu said with certainty: "Absolutely worth it!" Then she told everything she saw and heard along the way and the few days in Bianliang, with special emphasis on what she saw and heard in the duel field, and finally said : "The Ming Dynasty is like a newly born sun, exuding vitality, and like a dragon soaring in the nine heavens, commanding the world! Huh, the Japanese thought they could compete with the Ming Dynasty, but in fact they are just trying to shake a tree, and they are overestimating their own capabilities!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
