The speaker's voice was loud, instantly breaking the calm, and everyone looked around.
Those who recognized him hurriedly saluted and shouted: "I have seen General Du."
Zhao Tong also looked over, but he was a big man in green robes, with sinister eyebrows and thick eyes, a lion's nose and a wide mouth. His arms, legs and feet were as thick as those of an ordinary person, and his muscles seemed to be about to explode.
He didn't recognize him, but he saw this man coming closer and said with a smile that was uglier than crying: "General Li, Du Fu is being polite!"
Du Bo?
When Zhao Tong heard this, his heart moved, he turned out to be this person. He was Wang Qing's number one general, and his martial arts skills were comparable to Lu Junyi's.
Du Bu is now the general of the pseudo-Huai Dynasty, commanding Shuzhou. He was not in the city at the time of the competition. Zhao Tuo was not seen at yesterday's banquet. I don't know when he returned to Luzhou.
Zhao Tong hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "It turns out to be General Du. I've heard his name for a long time, and it's like thunder in my ears."
Du Bo smiled and said: "Brother Li is so polite. He said he is very famous. Brother Li is famous now. I have heard about him in Shuzhou. I didn't expect to meet him when I return to the city today."
Zhao Tong looked puzzled: "I wonder how General Du knew me?"
Du Bo laughed loudly and said: "I came to the arsenal to choose weapons. I looked at the registration list and saw Brother Li's name. I asked the soldiers and compared the two and found out. I just chased him out and wanted to say hello, but I saw this martial arts contest again. , Brother Li is indeed very good at martial arts, he was able to defeat the opponent just by giving instructions!"
Zhao Tong heard this and said: "Ashamed, Li Fei is so virtuous and capable. He is just talking about military affairs. It is really shameful that General Du praised him so much!"
Du Bu shook his head and said: "Brother Li, why should you be so modest? In his life, Du admires people with strong martial arts skills. When making friends with others, it is only about the level of martial arts. Although Brother Li did not take action personally today, Du could see that Brother Li's martial arts skills have reached a certain level. He is so proficient that he can give advice and use ordinary tricks to defeat the opponent. That person is Xia Houyuan, the Iron-faced Blue Snake of Mangshan Big Snake Village. Although the Green Snake's tricky skills can't be said to be very powerful, they are as good as Brother Li. It’s hard for even Du to break things easily.”
When Zhao Tong heard this, he thought to himself, this Du Bu looks ferocious in appearance and has a cruel face, but he didn't expect that his words are quite appropriate. How can ordinary people admit that their skills are inferior to others in public? He seems to be a martial arts fanatic.
He smiled and said: "General Du..."
"Why does Brother Li have to talk about a general?" Du Bo said: "I am a few years older than Brother Li. If Brother Li doesn't mind, just call me brother!"
Zhao Tong hurriedly screamed in shame and said: "But it's Li Fei who has seen something outside. Brother Du and Miao Zan really don't dare to take it seriously. I only have some martial arts skills on horseback. When it comes to martial arts on horses, I can't compare to Brother Du. I heard that Brother Du has a snake spear that is eight feet long and can defeat invincible opponents in both Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers. Who doesn't know about it? I even heard about it in my hometown in Guanzhong!"
Du Bo was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. He had only been good at martial arts in his life. Although he was born crudely, his temperament was not as bad as his appearance. His words were straightforward and he never tried to hide his words. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to flirt with him. He praised Zhao Tuo for it was true. Seeing that Zhao Tong has extraordinary abilities, and being praised by Zhao Tong is the greatest benefit in his heart, and he immediately feels sympathy for each other.
At this time, Du Bo was not modest and laughed and said: "I like what Brother Li said. There will be a fight between the two Huai Rivers. Du is really not afraid of anyone. I think Brother Li likes it, so why not go and have a few drinks?" , wouldn’t it be nice to talk about martial arts?”
Zhao Tong was fine at the moment. He just looked at the man in black who was still unconscious in the field, frowned and said: "Brother Du invites you, don't dare to refuse, but this man..."
Du Bu looked at the man in black and said with a smile: "Xia Houyuan from Dashe Village recognizes me. I also heard about the bet just now. After that, I will send someone to order him to deliver the thousand taels of silver to brother Li's house. And from now on." I saw Brother Li walking on a detour."
Zhao Tong shook his head and said: "Then I'll trouble Brother Du, but just send the money over and there's no need to take a detour."
Du Bo said: "Since it's a bet, how can we not abide by it? Brother Li, don't worry about this matter, just leave it to me."
Seeing his enthusiasm, Zhao Tong didn't know what to say. Du Bo walked over and gave some instructions to the men in black, then came back and said, "Let's go, brother Li, come and have a drink with me."
Zhao Tong couldn't refuse, and he also planned to get to know Du Bu and get some military information from him, so he asked Yao Pingzhong to lead the yellow horse away, and he followed Du Bu to a restaurant.
Nowadays, the restaurants in Luzhou City are no longer what they used to be. Due to the continuous war and the interruption of trade routes, Wang Qing also recruited people's grain, rice and livestock. The restaurants lacked ingredients and could no longer cook any good dishes.
Only half of the lamb was cooked, and a chicken was cut into pieces, but there was no other meaty taste. As for the vegetarian dishes, there were only two plates, and the wine was not good. The waiter sifted and sifted before the two of them started drinking.
Most of the things they talked about were fists, feet, guns and sticks, and they also talked about heroes in the forest and heroes in the grass. They were very lively. For a while, Zhao Tao knew a lot about the Jianghu affairs in Huaihe and even Jingguang.
After drinking for three rounds, he started talking about Li Zhu, the Prime Minister of the DPRK. Only then did Zhao Tu know that Du Bu's defection to Wang Qing was actually related to Li Zhu.
Although Li Zhu is a master, he does not have the temperament of a wandering cloud and wild crane. He often pretends to be a fortune teller and travels around the world, winning over heroes from all over the world, hoping to do something big.
Before assisting Wang Qing in becoming king, he made a lot of preparations in advance. Du Bo was quite famous in Huainan Road and was vaguely known as the number one person in the green forest. So Li Zhu went to Du Bo and first talked about the great things in the past and present. The principle is nothing more than that if the world is united for a long time, it must be divided, and if it is divided for a long time, it must be united. Then there is a gambling and martial arts competition, and it is agreed that the loser shall serve for the other party.
Du Bu was not interested in hearing these big principles, but when it came to the martial arts competition, he was very interested, so he started to compete with Li Zhu, and naturally he lost. Later, Wang Qing started an uprising, and Li Zhu sent a message to Du Bu to help him. He kept his promise and came to help Wang Qing. His immediate skills were better than those of his subordinates. It can be said that Du Bo was indispensable for Wang Qing's victory over Huaixi.
After hearing this, Zhao Tong toasted Du Bo a glass of wine and asked casually: "I wonder how many moves the Prime Minister has defeated Brother Du?"
Du Bu's face turned red due to the drunkenness at this moment. He stretched out his hand and patted his head and said, "I'm not afraid of Brother Li's jokes. I was struck by the Prime Minister's sword... but I only made three moves."
Only three moves? !
Zhao Tong's eyes immediately twitched when he heard this. Du Bo was a martial artist on par with Lu Junyi. Not to mention that it was difficult to meet an opponent, it was not easy to defeat him.
Lu Junyi's martial arts skills at this moment are not comparable to those in the Tokyo arena two years ago. He has already passed the first-class level and has entered the junior master level. Even if Du Bo is worse in foot combat, he is probably not far behind. He should also be a junior master master.
But a little grandmaster actually only managed three moves under Li Zhujian?
Du Bo poured himself a glass of wine at this time and said: "Actually, I thought about it later and I'm afraid there are some problems with these three moves. After all, they are just sparring, not a life-and-death fight. If it were a life-and-death fight, I would probably fall under the Prime Minister's sword with three moves." If you don’t even finish walking, you will lose your life!”
Zhao Tong frowned when he heard this. What does it mean that he can't finish all three moves? Could it be that Li Zhu could kill the little grandmaster in just one or two moves? So how good is his swordsmanship?
He picked up the wine glass and said: "The Prime Minister is a master, and his martial arts skills are naturally unpredictable. If I compete with the Prime Minister, I'm afraid I will be far inferior to Brother Du. Let's not talk about it anymore. I'd like to toast Brother Du."
Du Bo shook his head and sighed, also raised his glass and said: "No more talk, no more talk, Brother Li has a drink!"
