Pang Gu hung the ax in front of the saddle, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, today the heroes from all over the world have come all the way to gather here, all thinking of serving the imperial court! Moreover, the gong has not sounded just now, and the competition has not started yet, so we have canceled others. Wouldn’t it make people feel unwilling to be qualified to take the exam?”
"What do you think?" Emperor Han asked, stroking his beard.
"The common people think, please give Brother Sima another chance!" Pang Gu clasped his fists and bowed his head sincerely.
"good!"
The gong sounded again, and the two sides once again took up positions. At this time, Sima Hao secretly gritted his teeth and determined to defeat Pang Gu. After thinking about it, he shook the bright silver spear in his hand and urged his horse to rush forward. Just when Sima Hao was urging the horse, Pang Gu actually threw the ax in his hand to the ground, and with his bare hands, he pinched the horse's belly with his legs and rushed forward. Just when the two horses were facing each other, Sima Hao raised his gun and Stabbing Pang Gu in the heart, Pang Gu dodged slightly, missed the blade of the gun, stretched out his hands to grab the gun, and Sima Hao was unwilling to let go of the weapon in his hand. The two were entangled in each other, snatching the silver gun from each other.
Sima Hao held the handle of the gun with all his strength, thinking that Pang Gu had no weapons, so he must not lose the silver gun now, otherwise he would have almost no chance of winning against him. Sima Hao grasped the handle of the gun tightly, his face was red and his veins were bulging. He had exhausted all his strength. When he looked up at Pang Gu again, he saw that his face was not red, he was not breathing, and he had a look of disdain on his face. He thought badly. He didn't try hard to grab the gun at all. He was clearly making fun of himself!
Pang Gu laughed loudly, making everyone present sweat with anxiety, but when he saw him shouting: "Come here quickly!" After a while, Pang Gu killed Sima Hao with his gun and his men. Pulling him to his horse, the silver gun fell to the ground with a clang. Sima Hao was placed on the horse, and he was already worried. As long as he was not knocked off the horse, he would not lose, so he continued to punch and kick Pang Gu to dismount. Seeing that he was still resisting desperately, Pang Gu shouted loudly, grabbed the collar of his back with one hand and the belt at the back with the other, and effortlessly lifted Sima Hao above his head, just like lifting a full-term baby. Just as easy.
Everyone present was almost dumbfounded. Han Emperor, who was sitting on the stage, was looking attentively. His body moved forward unconsciously. The sight was thrilling, and he seemed to wake up when he saw Sima Hao being defeated one after another. , also applauded Pang Gu. The ministers clapped and applauded when they saw the Holy One, so they also clapped and applauded. The candidates under the awning and in front of the general stage also applauded.
After Pang Gu put Sima Hao down, he gave a proud fist to the general stage and the candidates in the venue, and waited for Mr. Xu to announce the results. Unexpectedly, Xu Bingde was also stunned for a moment, and then said: "In the eighteenth round, Pang Gu wins, please wait in front of the general stage for the next round!"
Then Xu Bingde continued to shout: "In the nineteenth round, Xun Mou faces Wu Yun."
As soon as the gong sounded, the two sides took up positions, both holding sharp swords. As soon as they urged their horses, Wu Yun fell under the horse in only one turn, and his left arm was also hit by Xun Mou's sword. Fortunately, it was only a skin injury.
"In the nineteenth round, Xun Mou wins!"
The Emperor of Han, who was sitting on the Dragon Seat, smiled with satisfaction, pointed at Xun Mou and said to Zhang Cen: "General Xun Mou is really powerful, maybe it's been a long time since I saw him show off his skills! I can't wait for the next round. Eunuch Zhang Ah, how many people are left?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is only one last round left!" Zhang Cen bowed.
Xu Bingde held the list in his hand tremblingly, with the word "Gao Yun" clearly written on it. He couldn't help but wonder, didn't His Highness the Crown Prince mention that he would not come to participate? Why does the name appear on it again? The candidates below all looked at me anxiously, and had no choice but to say helplessly: "In the twentieth round, Shi Hongxuan will face... Gao Yun!"
Prince Liu Yan was startled when he heard Gao Yun's name, Gao Yun? Why did he participate in the martial arts competition again? Didn't his brother Gao Han say that he abstained? What is the purpose of this? So Liu Yan started to look around, wanting to see if Gao Han was present today. After scanning his eyes, he didn't find Gao Han, so he gave up, thinking that even if Gao Yun met Xun Mou, he would know the stakes, and Gao Han Jun may not be General Xun's opponent.
As soon as the gong sounded, as expected, Gao Yun held the sword and easily defeated Shi Hongxun in one round.
After a whole afternoon of competition, the last four candidates were finally selected. As Lu Zuo expected, the four candidates were Xun Mou, Yin Ji, Gao Yun, and Pang Gu. At this time, the sun had set, and it was getting dark. It seemed that it was too late to choose the final candidate for the position, so the Emperor of the Han Dynasty ordered: "The competition ends here today, and we will compete again tomorrow! The rest are not selected." Candidates will each be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, which will be distributed from the treasury!"
The night was dark, and in the Lu Mansion, the night wind blew back and forth among the locust trees, making a rustling sound. Bursts of laughter in the wing floated in the courtyard. The table in the house was full of good wine and food. They had been fighting for a whole afternoon, and Yin Ji and Pang Gu were devouring the meat in their mouths. Lu Zuo and Chen Tuizhi laughed and told them to eat slowly and not to be too anxious.
After Yin Ji finished eating a pig's trotter in his mouth, there was still grease at the corner of his mouth. He smiled at his master and said, "Master, how did my disciple behave today? Didn't I embarrass you?"
Lu Zuo nodded with satisfaction, "You performed very well today!"
"Haha..." Pang Gu smiled heartily, "Brother Lu, what about me?"
Lu Zuo gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Your performance was the most outstanding. In the second round, when you dragged Qian You off the horse with your bare hands, almost everyone was stunned. Everyone said that you had a good chance of winning." What a handsome position! He is truly a blockbuster!"
"That's right! I will definitely live up to Brother Lu's expectations and kill that man named Xun Mou."
Chen Tuizhi smiled and said, "I don't know who I will meet first tomorrow?"
"That's right!" Yin Ji looked at Pang Gu expectantly, "Brother Pang Pang, if I play against you first tomorrow, we will all have to work hard. I think you only used less than 30% of your skills today! "
"Okay! I've only used 20% of my power today, and those sprouts are nothing to mention." After Pang Gu finished speaking, he continued to chew on the pig's trotters in his hand.
"I only used two of my powers. These so-called heroes and martial arts masters are nothing more than that! It's a joke that they dare to compete with each other to win the handsome man!" Yin Ji said disdainfully.
Lu Zuo smiled and shook his head, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said: "Tomorrow you will meet all masters. Remember not to underestimate the enemy, remember?"
"I know, don't worry!" Yin Ji and Pang Gu said in unison.
"Xun Mou is also the favorite to win the championship this time. When you two meet him tomorrow, you must win him." After Lu Zuo finished speaking, he looked at Yin Ji worriedly, "Ji'er, especially you, once you When you meet Xun Mou, remember not to confront him forcefully. This man is superb in martial arts and extremely powerful. If you encounter him head-on, you will definitely not be his opponent. Your advantage lies in cleverness. I will bring you with you tomorrow. The Zhanlu Sword may give you a better chance of winning."
