Sima Yao nodded with satisfaction: "Lu Taizong, I didn't expect that you, as a general and a county guard, would also participate in this fight. Diao Tingwei, I heard before that this fighting field is just a life-and-death contest between sinners and slaves for redemption. With all his crimes, when will the current officials be allowed to fight?"
Diao Kui said quickly: "There are no explicit regulations on the horse stage that prohibit the free people of the Jin Dynasty from participating in fighting, nor does it say that officials and scholars cannot get off the stage. The reason why slaves and sinners have always participated in the stage is because the fighting field is dangerous and a competition. In the place of life and death, generally speaking, non-sinners are not willing to participate. Prefect Lu participated voluntarily, and Yin Zhongkan, the governor of Jingzhou, and Huanxuan, the prime minister of Nanjun, co-signed as guarantees. They even paid a sum of money to participate in the competition. The owner has no reason to refuse."
Sima Yao said coldly: "Then, my officials and generals are just like those slaves, fighting for life and death here? Where is the color and reputation of the Jin Dynasty when word spreads?"
Lu Zongzhi said loudly: "Your Majesty, I believe that this fight is not an ordinary fight between slaves, but that God wants to use our hands to judge whether Liu Yu has collaborated with the enemy and treason. Therefore, we will never dare to neglect it." , we must send the best warriors from Jin Dynasty to prove whether Liu Yu is guilty."
Sima Yao frowned: "Prefect Lu, although you are a famous brave general, if my memory is correct, you turned out to be a powerful man in Guanzhong in the former Qin Dynasty. You also invaded with Hu Nan and were later defeated and captured. He became the Prime Minister of Huanjun, regained his freedom because of his meritorious service, and rose all the way to his current status, right?"
Lu Zongzhi's face turned slightly red: "I was indeed confused for a moment and helped the tyrants to do evil. Fortunately, Your Majesty was lenient and Prime Minister Huanjun gave me some guidance, so I was able to find my way back and correct my mistakes. Therefore, I cannot allow anyone to betray the Jin Dynasty. Northern Expedition Recovering the lost land was also the result of the bloody battles of our Jingzhou soldiers. However, due to the betrayal of traitors, a large area of the land gained in the bloody battle was lost again. Many of my comrades and brothers died in vain. Therefore, I must do it for The dead soldiers and comrades, please demand justice!"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Prefect Lu, it was not me who harmed your brother, but the Hu people and other traitors."
Lu Zongzhi said coldly: "I only know that you are married to Murong Chui's sister who killed my brother and is sworn in with me. If I don't look for this hatred, who should I look for? Since you say you are innocent Yes, then come and see me as my subordinate."
Sima Yao nodded: "Well, since Lu Taizong is so determined, let you and Liu Yu have a showdown. I'm sure."
Diao Kui smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is more than one Lu governor who has a grudge against Liu Yu. There are also several heroes in Jingzhou who also asked for a fight. Prime Minister Huan Jun could not refuse their willingness to fight, so he asked them to come together."
Sima Yao frowned: "Who else are there?"
Diao Kui waved his hand, and the fences of the four iron gates on the side rose accordingly, and four generals as strong as tigers, leopards, and bears, fully armed, walked out slowly. One of them came out of the iron from the north. A nine-foot-long guy who looks like Lu Bu, holding a Fangtian painted halberd upside down, has a large fine steel armor all over his body. On the top of his helmet, there are three golden beams from his forehead to the top of his head. He rides on an all-black war horse with two eyes. The blood is red, the hooves are as big as the bowl of the sea, and the air foam he sprays out is slightly red. Isn't this Xiao Lu Bu, Huan Zhen, who is known as the best warrior in Jingzhou?
And there was a man to the east, holding two iron whips in his hands, wearing silver armor, his muscles almost bursting the armor. He was the leader of Jingzhou Qiongqi Army, Wu Fuzhi.
A person in the west is holding a euphorbia in both hands. The golden armor is shining under the sunlight. On his bare arms, a pair of tattoos of cloud-devouring beasts are about to appear, and the tattoo on the euphorbia is In the blood tank, there is a pool of green blood, which is faintly glowing. It can make the blood tank of these magical soldiers become like this. I don't know how many enemy soldiers have been killed. It is the commander of Jingzhou Tianlang Army, Huangfu Fu.
The last person to come out was wearing leather armor, with half of his right shoulder exposed. The most impressive thing was that his arms were even thicker than his two thighs, and his shoulders were even as wide as an ordinary person. The width of the woman's body, and the muscles on the two arms, without exerting any force, are like bulges of iron. The lines are accompanied by looming veins, which are almost half the height of a person. The four strands of animal tendons are twisted together, at least nearly six inches long. Shi's large iron-tied bow was carried straight behind him, and there were two sharkskin pouches on the outside of his two calves. Two short knives about two feet long were inserted in the pouches for close defense. , you don’t need to look at it to know that this man is the legendary best archer in Jingzhou, Hu Fan and Hu Daoxu, known as Xiao Yang Youji!
These few were walking like dragons and tigers with extraordinary demeanor. Even the young masters from aristocratic families who did not understand martial arts at all looked at them and nodded repeatedly. However, many people immediately realized that something was wrong and began to shout: "That's not right. Is this going to be five against one?”
"It's so unfair. This is not a fair duel, and it's not God's will."
"No wonder the casino guy named Diao gave Liu Yu a chance of losing ten to one. How can this be ten to one? Even ten thousand to one is impossible. Refund the money, refund the money, I won't gamble anymore!"
The voices got louder and louder, and in the end, the whole audience roared in unison: "Unfair, unfair, unfair!" What's more, many people simply threw some rotten fruit in their hands. In the field, just like when they threw Liu Yu at Liu Yu's first fight, soon, the space about a foot away from the edge of the fighting field under the stands was filled with various fruits.
Sima Yao said coldly to Diao Kui: "Diao Tingwei, did you hear what everyone said? Everyone feels that five against one is too unfair. This must not be the will of God. I order you now to stop this. A duel until a solution is found that satisfies everyone."
Diao Kui smiled slightly: "Liu Yu, these five people are the first-class masters in Jingzhou. They all have relatives and friends who shed blood and sacrificed in the Northern Expedition. They dream every day to kill thieves and serve the country. I heard that you, the first warrior of the Beifu Army, , even those who are collaborators, they all want to compete with you, and Governor Yin can't stop him, so he has to let them all come. You can fight with them one on one. If you can defeat five of them, then Even if you pass. If you are afraid, or have other suggestions, you can say it yourself now, but in this second game, your enemies are them. Now, let me introduce these four..."
