Chapter 73 Undercurrent emerges
"News? Proposal? Tell me what news." It was Li Xintian who spoke.
She had been observing each other since the two people walked up to them.
Li Xintian lowered her head and glanced at the chicken nuggets Yi Xifeng put for her in the bowl. They were bright red in color and really cute. However, the girl still made up her mind to listen to what the other party said first.
Zhou Di smiled and said, "You should all be young people practicing arts, right?"
Yi Xifeng was still chewing bamboo shoots, and Li Xintian was still staring at the chicken nuggets, neither of them answered.
Zhou Di smiled awkwardly and continued: "Okay, let me tell you what I know first. During this martial arts competition, there will be people who will come to cause trouble in the subsequent competitions." At this point, Zhou Di put away his warm smile. , the calm eyes do not show any emotional fluctuations.
Yi Xifeng and Li Xintian looked at each other doubtfully and motioned for the other to continue.
"I also just received the news that in the morning, before the first game of the competition qualifying match, our people were killed around Yinren Village." Zhou Di said softly.
"What?" It was Yi Xifeng who asked this time.
Zhou Di nodded and said, "I am the captain of the 17th team of strong men. Oh, by the way, you are not strong men, so you may not understand the divisions of strong men."
Zhou Di continued to explain, "The young men are divided into twenty teams. The first sixteen teams are regular teams, each team is assigned a captain and nine members. The remaining four teams are combat teams, and each team is equipped with a team leader. There is one captain and one vice-captain, eighteen members. And our seventeenth team is exactly a combat team."
Li Xintian nodded slightly. After all, she had grown up with Li Chengtao and Li Chengqian, and she knew the village's guard system better than most people.
"Two hours ago, we received an order to put all the strong men who did not participate in the martial arts competition into the first level of alert for the regular team, and the combat team..." Zhou Di paused, and continued: "Move in the direction of Liangchengang."
Yi Xifeng frowned and asked, "Did something happen at Liangchengang?" After all, a branch competition was held there a few days ago, so he knew the area fairly well.
Zhou Di shook his head gently and said with a smile: "I am just a young man, there are some things that I cannot know."
"Or do you know but don't say anything? Or say it selectively?" Li Xintian interrupted him and said.
"Well...it's true." Zhou Di admitted directly, looking very bachelor.
Li Xintian pursed his lips and asked: "What about your proposal? Let's first say that we can't do such a thing as watering down in the competition."
Yi Xifeng glanced at Li Xintian guiltily and thought to himself: It's not impossible, as long as the income is high enough.
Li Xintian seemed to be able to read through Yi Xifeng's thoughts and glared at him with his beautiful big eyes.
"Haha, it's just a martial arts competition qualifying competition. I can't make the mistake of asking for cooperation just to show off. In fact, as young people practicing martial arts, you still don't know some things." Zhou Di continued with a smile as if he heard a funny joke.
"When we passed the arena competition and won the title of the Twelve Champions of Yanwu, it was already decided that we had passed the assessment and could enter the Guard Armor. The ranking in the qualifying competition has a greater impact on the treatment after entering the Guard Armor. ." Zhou Di looked at Yi Xifeng and explained.
Yi Xifeng did not understand the rules of the martial arts competition at the beginning. The main reason for participating in the martial arts competition at that time was that he was dragged in by Lin Fenghuo in a confused way. As for Li Chengqian and Li Chengtao, one was careless and didn't take these rules seriously, while the other was more direct. Anyway, as long as they kept winning, they would be fine. As a result, Yi Xifeng lacked knowledge about performing martial arts competitions.
Zhou Di continued: "My proposal is very simple. If we are attacked by someone other than our opponent during the competition, we must assist each other. If there is any change, I need you to support Liangchengang with me!" Zhou Di said solemnly.
Yi Xifeng thought for a while and asked his question: "Why the two of us?"
"Actually, there are very few people who can cooperate." Zhou Di sighed.
Zhou Di explained, "Although the orders received by ordinary strong men are to be on guard, I am the captain of the combat team after all, so I naturally know a little more than them. The troubles in Liangchengang this time are beyond the ordinary strong men's ability to deal with, so we must Only elites, even captain-level people, can do it."
Zhou Di picked up a cup, picked up Yi Xifeng's wine gourd on the table, and filled himself a cup.
He continued: "Zhang Yanshi was guarding Tieyi, and he had a more important task. Lin Fenghuo and Fifth Xiaoxiao, they were seriously injured. More importantly..." Zhou Di poured the cup into his mouth. After finishing the wine, he continued: "We are destined!"
After saying that, Zhou Diba slapped his tongue, thinking that Yi Xifeng was not a big guy, but he had hidden a lot of good wine. Thinking of this, I reached for the wine gourd and planned to pour some more.
Yi Xifeng lightly grabbed the wine gourd before Zhou Di, took the wine gourd back into his hand, took a swig, and never put it down again.
Zhou Di retracted his outstretched hand angrily. At this time, a waiter came over, carrying a tray with three plates of dishes and a bottle of wine. He walked to their table and quickly placed the dishes on the table.
Looking at a large plate of soy beef, a small pot of boiled peanuts, a can of fermented duck and a small jar of three-year-old Huadiao wine on the table, Yi Xifeng asked the waiter in confusion, "We don't want these dishes?"
The waiter smiled and said, "It was given by our boss' eldest lady to some of our guests."
When Yi Xifeng heard this, he thought there was such a good thing, and praised with a smile: "You are a good boss, you also deliver food, you are very good at doing business!"
Zhou Digan on the side smiled and said: "Their owner is the Zhong family, and the eldest lady of his family is naturally Zhong Lingxi who came with me just now."
The waiter smiled and said: "The eldest lady told you to serve you two well, so that the afternoon competition will not be affected by not having enough food at noon."
Hearing what the waiter said, Li Xintian couldn't help but glance at the girl in green shirt drinking alone at a table in the distance.
Yi Xifeng is also curious, who is this woman who is the most powerful in the work of a strong man?
Zhou Di noticed another jar of wine on the table and reached out to take it, but Yi Xifeng raised his hand to block it.
Yi Xifeng threw the wine gourd to him, indicating that if he wanted to drink it, he would pour it himself, but not to touch the wine in the jar.
"I can consider the proposal you mentioned. For the sake of the food and wine, this is the first competition in the afternoon. If something unexpected happens, I promise you that I can try my best to protect her." Yi Xifeng said while tearing up Li Xintian I bought a duck leg, put the peppercorns and wine grains on it into my bowl, and gave the remaining duck leg meat to Li Xintian.
Li Xintian's dirty little face turned red and he lowered his head. After all, there were outsiders present, so the little girl was still a little shy.
Zhou Di was not surprised by Yi Xifeng's words. After all, it was the first time for both parties to cooperate. If everyone agreed, Zhou Di would be a little worried.
What surprised Zhou Di was that while Yi Xifeng was able to negotiate a cooperation with him, he also took good care of the little girl around him...
Zhou Di couldn't help but secretly thought: This kid is not very old, but he is so skilled in this area. It's really enviable... It's amazing! This is talent, right? Tsk tsk, this kid, from a child's perspective, he is no longer a mere mortal!
Thinking of this, Zhou Di took advantage of the gap when Li Xintian lowered his head, raised his thumb at Yi Xifeng, and opened his mouth, but did not make a sound.
Yi Xifeng looked at the other person's mouth shape and knew that he said two words - "awesome". Smiling, he picked up his wine gourd and poured a glass for the other party. The three of them soon started eating wine and food on the table.
