After Fan Quan finished praising Wang Qing and Li Zhu, he began to introduce the five foreign forces.
They were the forces of Tian Hu, King of Jin in Hebei. The visitor was Tian Hu's second brother Tian Bao, who brought several generals and more than a hundred people with him.
The leader of the forces in Liangshan, Shandong was Shiyuhu Baoyi Song Jiang, who also brought generals and more than a hundred people with him.
The youngest Zhong of Dongting Lake came here in person, and brought his daughter Zhong Lingxi, nicknamed half Jiang Se Se and half Jiang Hong.
Zhu Xiongwu of the Yangtze River brought hundreds of people with him.
Gao Jiubian of Guizhou led more than fifty men.
These five major forces are currently the strongest rebels in the Song Dynasty, except Wang Qing. Even Tian Hu's side is not weaker than Wang Qing at all.
Zhao Tong was watching the flower canopy from a distance, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Song Jiang. He was dark and slightly fat, with a thin beard, bright eyes, and a smile on his face. He made people fall in love with him when he saw him, and he was willing to Relatable appearance.
He looked at the youngest Zhong again. This youngest Zhong had a square face, half-white hair, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, a light beard, two slightly bulging temples, and a cold and expressionless look.
This is a giant bandit in Dongting who has been entrenched in the lake for many years. Officers and soldiers have been encircled and suppressed several times, but they have all been defeated. Fortunately, he has adopted Dongting as a bandit and does not go far away, so he has been in a stalemate. However, judging from his personal action this time, it should be I have big ideas and want to do big things.
Zhao Tong's eyes fell on the girl next to him again. This was Zhong Lingxi, the youngest daughter of Zhong. She had smoky eyebrows, a beautiful nose and a tan mouth, and her eyes were looking forward to her appearance. She was staring curiously at the group of green forest heroes below.
But Zhao Tong knew that apart from her beauty, everything Zhong Lingxi showed at this moment was fake.
Zhong Lingxi, who is half Jiang Sesu and half Jiang Hong, is as famous as her father Zhong Lao Mao in Jinghu Road.
Her nickname came from killing. This woman was good at wielding a full-moon scimitar and her sword skills were astonishing. The so-called half Jiang Se Se and half Jiang Hong meant that she killed people so much that half of the Dongting Lake was filled with blood, and the other half was covered in blood. I was so scared that I didn't dare to move even though I was shivering.
Zhao Tong glanced at Zhu Xiongwu again. This was the Yangtze River bandit. There were countless thieves and bandits on the Yangtze River, but Zhu Xiongwu was the largest among them.
Guizhou Gao Jiubian, a big thief in Guizhou, has been a thief and bandit for generations, secretly communicated with the Jiaozhi Kingdom, and attacked Guangnan West Road several times. Don't know anywhere.
Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes slightly. These people must have either come to seek refuge with Wang Qing. Except for Tian Hu, although the others are not as powerful as Wang Qing, they are unlikely to come to seek refuge. But now that they are sitting on the stage, they should be After being invited here, Wang Qing wondered if he wanted to form an alliance with these people?
At this time, Fan Quan began to describe the rules of the ring. Basically, there are ten rings without a ring leader. Everyone can go on the ring to fight. After seven days, whoever can occupy the ring last will win the ring and receive a reward of one thousand taels. Seal the general.
As for the second and third places in each arena, they also have official rewards. These second and third places have to watch the number of people defeated during the ring, and the ranking is based on the number of people defeated.
But the green forest heroes below all know that it is not easy to get second or third place. The one who can hold the ring in the end is naturally a first-class hero. But if you want to be second or third place, even if you lose many people, in the end But it doesn't necessarily mean that you will be alive. Life and death don't matter in this arena. If you die at the hands of someone in the end, it will be in vain. This ranking can only be calculated among the living.
Next, the ring will start directly. There are ten rings. The first one to go up will be considered as the start of the ring. Those below can challenge at will. Anyway, everyone in the field has tokens. Whoever moves the legs and feet faster will be the first to challenge.
The drums sound on the field. These green forest heroes, you look at me, I look at you, no one is stupid, no one wants to be the first to enter the ring.
The first one to go up is to directly defend the ring. Even if the martial arts is superb, it is simply impossible to defend the ring for seven days. Not only must he defeat all the challengers, but he must also persist for seven days. Unless the martial arts is high enough, Otherwise, the physical strength and mental strength will definitely be exhausted.
The people in the flower tent seemed to have foreseen the current situation, and Fan Quan said calmly: "The first champion to come on stage will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"
As soon as these words came out, the people below immediately started to boil. A hundred taels of silver was a large amount of money. At this time, silver became more and more valuable when exchanged for copper coins. In the past two years, one tael of silver was exchanged for two guan of money, but now it is two and a half guan.
One hundred taels of silver is two hundred and fifty guan of money, which can be used to do many things. Not all the heroes who live in the green forest drink large bowls of wine and eat large pieces of meat. There are many who are in poverty, otherwise those simple free houses will not be the same. They will all be occupied.
And as long as you are the first to take the stage, you will get a hundred taels of silver. Many people think that it is a good thing to get money for free. Even if you are not good at it, you can just jump off the stage and admit defeat when you fall.
Many people had this idea in mind, and the crowd suddenly became restless, with people jumping onto the ten stages in an instant.
However, instead of one person jumping up, many people jumped up together. Some arenas even had no sequence at all, with two or three people jumping up almost at the same time.
Fan Quan saw this scene in the flower canopy, frowned, and said hurriedly: "Those who compete together, the winner will get the silver!"
Before he finished speaking, a fight broke out on the stage. It turned out that some people knew each other, knew each other's strength and weakness, and hated each other's fight, so they started fighting directly.
As for the one who came up later, he didn't go down. At this time, he couldn't afford to lose face if he went down. He was even more annoyed with the person who came up first, so he hid by the pillar and watched, waiting for the one who was competing for silver to finish the fight before taking action.
For a moment, all ten arenas were in chaos, with singles and melees everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Fan Quan hurriedly turned back to look at Li Zhu, but Li Zhu closed his eyes slightly and didn't even look.
This kind of people rush to the ring just for a hundred taels of silver. How can there be any masters among them?
Fan Quan looked at the ring with a wry smile. He could only wait for these people to decide the winner and only one person was left. The ring would automatically return to normal.
However, although these people who came to the stage first were not experts, the worse their martial arts were, the longer the fight lasted and the harder it was to decide the winner.
Masters often fight with lightning speed and lightning. There is no such thing as too long of fighting. Even if two people are in the same level, they will not fight for several hours, because often a slight negligence is caught, and then it will be done. Defeated.
But this low-hand attack, the more elaborate the fists and kicks, the harder it is to defeat the opponent. Instead, they fight harder, punches and kicks come and go, and the time drags on longer. Both sides are still thinking in their minds at this moment, they are indeed meeting their opponents, and they will encounter each other. Great talent, happy, happy!
They had fun in the ring, but the people below couldn't bear it. After all, there were only seven days of competition, and there were so many people on the field. There was no telling how many more people would come to Luzhou in the next few days. This was simply a waste. Time.
At this time, a cold snort suddenly came from the audience: "Trash, everything is trash. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to let the Sa family save you!"
While he was talking, a person suddenly jumped up on the No. 3 ring. It was a fat big Toutuo. He wore a golden crescent hairband and a gray monk's robe. His chest was exposed, and he held a bright sword in his hand.
As soon as this Tutu came on stage, he rushed over and danced with his sword as if it were splashing the wind. There were originally five or six people on the stage, but he slashed them until blood splattered and their stumps flew around. The heroes who were hiding behind the pillars and watching the fun were so frightened that they " "Oh my God", he jumped off the stage in a hurry.
After a round of hacking, Toutuo stood on the stage with a ferocious face, his monk's robe soaked in blood, and he laughed loudly: "Who else is dissatisfied?"
