"Sir, Liu Bei is back." Xu Ding hurried over and whispered.
Wei Cheng took the newly printed "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List" and looked through the updated content. When he heard Xu Ding's report, he couldn't help but frown, and then sneered: "Go directly to the old man?"
Xu Ding nodded and stood aside silently. He did not comment too much on Liu Bei's behavior, and there was no need to comment.
Wei Cheng narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that Liu Bei was indeed ambitious. He went to see Wei Hao as soon as he came back. He obviously didn't take him seriously... However, I was afraid that he would be disappointed.
Sure enough, it was not what Wei Cheng expected.
Liu Bei and Cao Cao were rejected.
Even though Cao Cao came with the wishes of Dong Zhuo and the Young Emperor, Wei Hao did not give them a good look.
Wei Hao had never had a good impression of eunuchs, to the point of disgust, let alone the rotten Han Dynasty.
If Wei Hao hadn't been implicated in the turmoil between the Party and the Communist Party, he wouldn't have been living in Hedong for several years. Now that he has asked me for help, he remembered that I, Wei, are still there. You obviously don't take me seriously.
Wei Hao directly asked the steward to reject their invitation, and he had no intention of arranging anyone to receive them.
Liu Bei did not expect this result. After looking at each other with Cao Cao, he said: "Brother Meng De, don't worry, there is one more person."
"who?"
Cao Cao asked with a frown, feeling not in a good mood. He thought to himself that Old Man Wei was so shameless that he dared to ignore the imperial edict.
Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei who was standing aside. Zhang Fei was still angry with him and snorted angrily.
Liu Bei said awkwardly: "We can go and see Mr. Wei. If he comes forward to introduce us, Mr. Wei should meet us."
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, looked back at Liu Bei, and asked doubtfully: "In that case, why don't you take me to see him directly?"
Liu Bei was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
He can't say that he doesn't like Wei Cheng's promise now and wants to cling to imperial power and seek greater interests, right?
But Liu Bei himself didn't expect that Wei Hao would be so ignorant.
Printing shop.
Wei Cheng just got the news that Cao Cao and Liu Bei were ignored by the cheap dad Wei Hao.
He walked out of the square with Xu Ding in a funny way and was about to return to the mansion.
"Let's go, let's go to the city gate. Someone's beating us."
"I heard that he is Lu Fei, who is ranked forty-seven. This man has a very ferocious reputation. He is also known as the guillotine. Anyone who fights with him will be killed."
"I wonder which hero he is fighting with?"
"I don't know either. I heard that he is also on the list. However, I guess I am just panicking. I heard that the man looks quite old."
Pedestrians on the street whispered to each other and walked hurriedly towards the city gate.
The construction of ancient spiritual civilization was not up to standard, and there were very few daily entertainment projects. It was rare to encounter a lively event, and both adults and children rushed to the city gate for fear of missing this 'big event'.
Wei Cheng stopped and looked at Xu Ding.
Xu Ding shook his head, raised his head, looked around, and waved to the city guards patrolling not far away.
Upon seeing this, a young leader in the team trotted over and bowed to Wei Cheng and Xu Ding: "I have met the young master, and I have met Governor Xu."
"No need to be polite...Is there someone beating you at the city gate?" Xu Dingxu helped him and asked.
The young man nodded and explained the matter in detail.
Wei Cheng's expression changed, "You mean, Coach Xie is familiar with that person?"
The young man bowed his fist respectfully towards Wei Cheng and said truthfully, "Yes, Coach Xie calls that person Uncle Nine, and he behaves quite affectionately."
Xu Ding showed an expression that was like this, raised his hands and said, "It must be Xie Jin himself, but I didn't expect to attract him."
Wei Teng chuckled and said, "This is not a good idea. Go quickly and everything will go according to plan."
When Xu Ding heard this, he cupped his hands and hurriedly ran towards the guardhouse not far away.
When Wei Cheng saw this, he hesitated for a moment and walked slowly towards the city gate. Liu Bei and Cao Cao didn't care about it for now, let's go and watch the excitement first.
At this time, the city gate was already overcrowded.
When Wei Teng arrived, he was seen by Xu Huang, who was guarding the city defense, and he went directly to the city gate tower.
With a commanding view, he could see a giant arena that had just been built about twenty meters away from the Dragon Tiger List.
The length and width of the arena are about 20 meters each, half a person tall, and made of pure solid wood.
There are drums set up at the four corners of the arena. At this time, four sturdy men are holding drumsticks and beating war hymns rhythmically.
There was a shed on both sides of the ring, which was somewhat similar to the coaching bench of a later football stadium.
At this time, there were two people in the sheds on the east and west sides changing equipment.
Wei Cheng saw Xu Ding's figure in the shack to the east.
Along with Xu Ding, there were Xie Yu and three men. The middle-aged man in the middle wore a black and gray bun. Xie Yu was talking to him. The middle-aged man nodded helplessly. , and saw Xu Ding handing a set of stab-proof clothing to the middle-aged man.
The same goes for the sheds on the other side, on the west side.
The city guard handed a set of stab-proof clothing to a bearded man with messy hair. The big man didn't take it seriously at first. After hearing the city guard's explanation, he immediately grabbed the stab-proof uniform and asked a few of his men to help him put it on.
Xu Huang said: "That guy is Lu Fei. He has a bad reputation in the green forest. He was once a bandit in Taihang. He was later recruited, but for some reason he was imprisoned for three years. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he escaped from prison with others. He absconded and committed another robbery."
Wei Cheng nodded.
The characters on the Han Dynasty Dragon and Tiger List, except for some well-known historical celebrities, other masters were compiled based on the information provided by the Wei family. For example, Lu Fei is a well-known fierce man in the green forest. He likes a big sword the most. Cut off people's heads.
Xu Huang looked at the shack to the east again, frowned and said, "As expected, that person is Xie Jin, the famous sword tyrant in his early years. In fact, I had guessed before that the gun prodigy Tong Yuan can be seen in Miss Xiaoyu's marksmanship. Shadow, and Master Tong Yuan and Master Xie Jin came from the same sect, so I think Miss Xiaoyu’s marksmanship was passed down to this."
Wei Cheng put his hands behind his back and looked at Xie Jin, who had put on stab-proof clothing, and seemed to sense something.
Peng Peng Peng... the drum beat loudly.
Lu Fei, who was also wearing stab-proof clothing, jumped onto the ring with a big knife and clasped his fists in front of the surrounding audience. He looked determined to win, not even paying attention to Xie Jin who was opposite him.
Xie Jin was also holding a knife, but what was incredible was that the knife in his hand... seemed to be a broken knife. The handle was very long, but the blade was only less than two feet (about 46cm).
"He actually held a broken knife and beat him. I'm afraid this old man was lighting an oil lamp in his latrine and looking for death, hahaha."
"It's true. Compared with Lu Fei's sword, his sword is too short and has no advantage at all."
"Every inch is longer and every inch is stronger. You can tell just by looking at the weapon. There is no suspense in this competition. This man will definitely lose."
The onlookers were talking a lot, and it was obvious that many people were not optimistic about Xie Jin's Broken Knife, and there were endless voices of badmouthing.
But Xie Jin looked indifferent, staring at Lu Fei on the ring with a cold expression, and walked up the steps step by step.
After the two of them stood still on the ring.
A big man also wearing stab-proof clothing walked between the two of them and said loudly: "The sword has no eyes, it only ends when it is pointed. Although you two have signed a life-and-death contract, you have to be merciful and merciful, and you can do it for yourself."
This man is a member of the city guard, working under Xu Huang, and his force cannot be underestimated. He is ranked seventy-two on the dragon and tiger list.
Seeing that neither Xie Jin nor Lu Fei looked down on him, he shook his head helplessly, held up a Sky Monkey and a fire stick, and said: "I take the song as my faith, you two, please prepare." With that, he lit a fire lead.
Hugh~
Bong!
Just when everyone was surprised by the strange noise of the Sky Monkey, a certain figure on the stage had already started to move.
Xie Jin took an inconspicuous broken knife and rushed directly towards the burly and muscular Lu Fei.
Everything happened in a flash of lightning. Xie Jin's broken knife looked simple and plain, but in fact, with the force of cracking mountains and cracking the ground, he swung it directly towards Lu Fei's lower body and knees.
Lu Fei's expression changed drastically, but after all, he was also a master ranked 47. Although he was caught off guard, he responded quickly.
'when! '
Gold and iron mingled together.
Lu Fei's broadsword blocked Xie Jin's slash.
Xie Jin frowned slightly, and his eyebrows soon showed an unexpected look. His eyebrows seemed to be filled with joy and bloodthirsty.
At this time, Xie Jin didn't look like him outside the ring at all. He looked even more crazy and domineering.
The broken knife in his hand was slightly raised, and at the exact moment when he lost his body, he slashed towards Lu Fei's neck. This was already his second attack.
Lu Fei was so excited that he dwarfed and missed the blade. He rolled to the right to avoid the next wave of attacks. Then he stood up like a carp and looked back at Xie Jin.
"You..." Lu Fei couldn't hide the fear on his face.
Xie Jin didn't give him a chance to speak. He moved backwards and didn't see any fancy steps in his steps. He seemed to be floating over. The knife in his hand stabbed Lu Fei's waist diagonally.
Lu Fei's face changed drastically, and the sword in his hand was obviously a little clumsy. Not only did he fall behind in the brief contact, but the sense of crisis that Xie Jin brought to him was also gradually increasing, and he always felt like he had kicked an iron plate.
In the face of the crisis, his reaction was also excellent. He relied on the advantage of his long knife to avoid Xie Jin's blade. He suddenly raised the big knife in his hand and slashed towards Xie Jin's face.
This was so sudden that the audience on the sidelines took a breath, and even Xie Yu in the shack couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
Lu Fei's younger brothers even cheered directly.
However, what was unexpected was that Xie Jin changed his body shape in an instant. His forward posture suddenly turned into a defensive posture. He slightly bowed to avoid Lu Fei's sword, and then raised his hand to interrupt in a very dangerous way. Knife fought back.
The broken knife in his hand was slightly raised, and it clashed head-on with Lu Fei's sword.
There was a sound of 'dang'.
The two of them staggered several positions, and the sword in Lu Fei's hand made a trembling sound. Looking carefully, there was an inch-deep gap on the blade of the sword.
At this time, Lu Fei's expression was no longer arrogant, but instead looked like a face of fear for the rest of his life, with a look of horror on his face.
Xie Jin, on the other hand, cut off the knife and lowered it slightly, with one free hand behind his back. The golden wind blew in his face, blowing a few strands of hair on his temples. The color of his old age was no longer on his body, and he looked like a wanderer. A bleak and carefree lone ranger.
"Are you Xie Jin, the sword tyrant?"
Lu Fei was not stupid. After a brief confrontation, he saw Xie Jin's extraordinary ability and also guessed Xie Jin's identity.
Xie Jin nodded slightly, raised the broken knife in his hand slightly, and said in a cold and calm tone: "So what if it is true, so what if it is not."
Lu Fei frowned slightly. He wanted to simply admit defeat because he had heard many legends about Xie Jin. This was a being that he could not defeat, not even his master.
"Thank you, senior, can I stop fighting? I know I can't beat you." Lu Fei hesitated for a moment, then said with his fists clasped.
Xie Jin frowned slightly and looked at Xie Yu, who was looking brilliant in the shed, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
After a long silence, Xie Jin said, "I'll spare your life. Just cut off one of your fingers."
Lu Fei's face changed drastically and he cut off a finger?
"Senior, why are you so aggressive, just because I offended you with my words?"
Xie Jin shook his head and seemed to be lost in memories. After a long time, he said quietly: "Originally, I would not care about you when you bullied me and humiliated me, but you should never speak rudely to her daughter... cut yourself off. Point it out, otherwise the next stab will kill you... After two tests, I already know your master's heritage, is Helian Jin your master?"
Lu Fei's bearded face was full of shock and disbelief. He stared at the broken knife in Xie Jin's hand and murmured: "Yes, yes, Master, he said that the most unforgettable thing in this life is cutting off The broken knife on one of his arms... severed a finger..."
next moment.
Just when everyone was wondering why the two of them suddenly stopped fighting.
Lu Fei suddenly bent down and knelt down, slapped his left hand on the floor, raised the big knife with his right hand, and chopped it down without hesitation.
"ah!"
"What happened? Lu Fei cut off his finger?"
"The arena is too big. I can't hear clearly what they said. Wasn't it fine just now? What happened?"
A flash of blood was very eye-catching on the ring, and in the pool of scarlet blood... was a severed finger.
Lu Fei looked at Xie Yu in the shack not far away. He knew that the daughter of the person Xie Jin was talking about should be that young lady.
He never imagined that one day he would be forced to cut off a finger just because of a frivolous comment.
"Senior, I have cut off one of my fingers. Can I leave?" Lu Fei tore off a small piece of his sleeve, wrapped the wound, stood up and asked.
Xie Jin looked at the severed finger and sighed helplessly. He put his hands behind his back and instantly transformed into a sullen middle-aged man. His originally flowing hair suddenly turned into a messy bird's nest. Not handsome.
"Let's go, let's go..." Xie Jin sighed and walked towards the stage.
Lu Fei looked at his back, then looked at his severed finger, spat out a word of bad luck, turned around and walked down the ring.
