Seeing Meng Huo calling for formation, Guan Yue, the young general beside His Majesty, jumped down from the general platform with two swords in hand and stood opposite Meng Huo.
Guan Yuebu used the double swords that his grandfather Guan Yunchang carried with him in the past, which were called "Ten Thousand Enemies".
Before the battle in Jingzhou that day, Guan Yu left the sword in Jiangling, and Guan Yue's mother, Zhao, hid the sword before she fled.
Many years later, when Guan Yue's mother and son returned to Chengdu, Zhao found the sword and gave it to Guan Yue.
"You dare to be so arrogant after losing for a while? Let you see the power of my Guan family's double swords!"
Meng Huo couldn't help laughing when he saw that the court had sent another young general.
"Is it possible that Wei Wenchang, Zhang Bogong, Wang Zijun and other generals who fought in the south in the past were afraid of us?
Why would you send some little brats to fight against us? "
Wei Yan and other veterans around Li Shimin were eager to try when they saw Meng Huo's provocation and wanted to teach Meng Huo a lesson.
Seeing this, Li Shimin stretched out his hand to signal the generals to be calm.
Then he stood up, looked at Meng Huo in the audience, and said loudly:
"King Meng, we made a bet that whoever wins two games first wins.
I am afraid that you and other barbarian kings will lose face and dare not send Wen Chang and other famous generals in the army to fight.
Zhao Tong had already won a game just now. Ru Ke must have learned how to catch the horse king, and was finally won by a young general of his nephew's generation! "
When Meng Huo heard this, he was speechless for a moment, snorted coldly, looked at Guan Yue and said:
"It's useless to talk more. It's better for my subordinates to see the truth!"
After saying this, he held Guduo in front of his chest with both hands and ran towards Guan Yue.
Guan Yue knew that Meng Huo was not an ordinary person.
It is also said that during the Southern Expedition, Meng Huo fought against generals such as Wei Yan, Ma Dai, and Zhang Yi without losing.
Guan Yue did not dare to show his strength, but crossed his swords to protect his face and waited for Meng Huo to attack.
At this time Huang Hao said loudly:
"The second match is between Guan Yuebu and Meng Huo. The competition is limited to ten moves. The competition begins!"
Before Huang Hao could finish speaking, Meng Huo had already arrived in front of Guan Yue.
Meng Huo did not understand Guan Yue's strength and did not dare to use all his strength. He only used five points of strength to lift the bone above his head and smash it towards Guan Yue's Tianling Cap.
Guan Yue only knew that Meng Huo was brave, but he didn't know how good Meng Huo was in martial arts.
Seeing Meng Huo swinging at him with his weapon raised, he didn't dare to take it head on.
When Meng Huo Gu Duo was about to land on Guan Yue's Tianling Cap, Guan Yue crossed his swords and raised his sword upwards to meet Meng Huo Gu Duo.
The moment the two weapons met, Guan Yue moved to the left, and followed Meng Huo's attack with his hand downwards.
Meng Huo's bone ball hit the intersection of Guan Yue's swords. He felt that Guan Yue was not strong enough and thought that Guan Yue was not good at bravery.
The five points of strength in itself were instantly increased to eight points.
However, as soon as he exerted force, he felt Guan Yue's double swords sinking downward.
Meng Huo, who felt that he had nowhere to exert his strength, panicked, fearing that Guan Yue would draw out his two swords and attack him secretly.
He quickly withdrew his strength, trying to forcefully pull Guduo back to stabilize his body.
However, Guan Yue transformed his power very quickly. Before Meng Huo could pull Gu Duo back, Guan Yue's swords suddenly sank.
Then the two swords separated, bypassed Meng Huo's bones, and swept towards Meng Huo up and down.
When Meng Huo saw this, he had no time to take back the bones.
I can only temporarily lift the bones to free my hands.
Then he took advantage of the situation and rolled forward, narrowly avoiding Guan Yue's double swords.
Guan Yue felt proud when he saw Meng Huo evading his attack in embarrassment.
Without waiting for the swords to be retracted and in position, he raised his foot and kicked Meng Huo.
Meng Huo knew that whoever was hit first was defeated. When he saw Guan Yue's attack, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Regardless of his own image, he grabbed the bones lying on the ground and rolled forward again.
Guan Yue missed a kick, knowing that the winner was not decided by the first move.
So he put his feet back and stood firm, turned around to face Meng Huo, guarded his two swords in front of him, and stepped forward to pursue Meng Huo before he got up.
Meng Huo rolled twice in a row until he was covered in mud.
Seeing Guan Yue leaning forward, wanting to chase him, he didn't bother to slap the dirt and quickly got up.
As soon as Meng Huo got up, Guan Yue arrived.
At this time, Huang Hao's voice sounded again:
"First move, flat"
Guan Yue saw that Meng Huo had just stood up and his footing was not stable. He stabbed Meng Huo's heart with his two swords one after another.
Meng Huo saw this and quickly lifted the bone.
Just then he placed Guduo on his chest, Guan Yue's sword had already arrived.
"Ding"
There was a crisp sound, and Meng Huo used his bones to block Guan Yue's front sword.
Still in shock, Guan Yue's sword came again.
When Meng Huo saw this, his eyes widened, he exerted force on his feet, and immediately retreated sharply.
On the way back, Meng Huo did not forget to hold the bone flower with one hand and swing it towards Guan Yue.
Just as the back knife was about to hit Meng Huo, he saw Meng Huo retreating continuously.
Guan Yue was anxious and was about to step forward to follow Meng Huo.
Just as he was about to move forward, Meng Huo felt a bone in his hand.
Although Meng Huo's blow was not very powerful, Guan Yue had to dodge due to the restrictions of the rules.
Seeing that the two moves had passed and he had missed another good opportunity, Guan Yue sighed and reluctantly took a step back to avoid Meng Huo Guduo.
"Second move, flat!"
At this time, Meng Huo saw Guan Yue retreating and quickly seized the opportunity to adjust his body shape, retracting his bones and holding them in front of his chest.
"What a trick, little kid! I didn't use all my strength just now and let you take advantage of me. I won't hold back any more on my next move!"
Seeing that he was losing momentum, Meng Huo had no choice but to say harsh words to boost his morale.
Guan Yue was blaming himself. If he had been faster just now, he might have captured Meng Huo long ago.
"Hey! You are so embarrassed and you are still making such arrogant remarks in front of me! If you are not convinced, we will come again!"
When Meng Huo heard this, he couldn't help being furious. He used all his strength to pick up the bone and swept it towards Guan Yue's waist.
Guan Yue was shocked when he saw this.
He thought to himself: It's easy to dodge when it hits, but it's hard to avoid when it sweeps. It seems that I can only use the knife to catch it.
After a moment's hesitation, Meng Huo Guduo had arrived.
Guan Yue didn't have time to think too much, he thrust the two swords with the backs outward and thrust them into the ground on the left side, and tightly grasped the handles of the swords with both hands.
There was only a "ding-dong" sound, and Meng Huo's bones hit the back of the knife heavily.
Guan Yue felt a huge force coming from the back of the knife to his hands, making his mouth numb.
Not daring to stay any longer, Guan Yue quickly drew out his two swords and turned around to Meng Huo's side.
Before Meng Huo could retract the bone, Guan Yue swept with his left hand and slashed with his right hand, counterattacking Meng Huo.
Meng Huo was mentally prepared for this, knowing that Guan Yue was extremely fast and his swords were easier to control than his own.
Seeing that the blow missed, he had already kicked back and retreated, dragging the bone with his right hand and pulling it backwards.
At the same time, Guan Yue's two swords arrived.
Meng Huo retreated to avoid the slashing knife, dragged Gu Duo's hand, pushed the Gu Duo up, and quickly caught the other end of the Gu Duo with his other hand.
In an instant, Gu Duo was held upright in front of his chest, but Guan Yue's sweeping knife slashed hard on Gu Duo's long handle.
After three moves, the two still couldn't decide the winner. This time, neither side stopped the move, but directly launched the fourth move.
Huang Hao was still counting the two of them on the general counting stage.
Guan Yue saw that the sword in his left hand was blocked by Meng Huo, so he raised the sword in his right hand that had just been struck in the air and struck Meng Huo again.
Meng Huo also thought that Guan Yue would use his speed to launch attacks one after another, so he was already prepared.
Meng Huo was seen holding the bone flower in his right hand, continuing to compete with Guan Yue's left-hand sword, while his left hand was stretched towards his waist.
Just as he reached his left hand to his waist, Guan Yue's right hand slashed with the knife.
At the critical moment, Meng Huo used his left hand to pull out the dagger hanging from his waist and held it horizontally above his head.
"Ding"
There was a crisp sound, and the knife in Guan Yue's right hand was held by Meng Huo's dagger.
The two sides stood on the same spot and tried their best to fight for their endurance while facing each other with horizontal swords against the upright bones and at the same time with vertical swords against the horizontal daggers.
As time passed, neither side could do anything to the other, so both sides smiled at each other and took back their weapons.
As soon as Meng Huo took back his weapons, he threw them away and said to Guan Yue:
"The young general is worthy of being a descendant of kings. His martial arts and bravery are no less than those of his ancestors. I admire him!
It is true that neither of us can take advantage of this, so why not just let it go? "
Guan Yue first thanked Meng Huo for the promotion, and then looked at His Majesty on the high platform.
Li Shimin nodded slightly when he saw this.
Seeing His Majesty nodding, Guan Yue cupped his hands and said:
"The Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo is extremely brave and has superb fighting skills. I respect him.
Since the two of us can't tell the difference between victory and defeat, let's follow the words of the Barbarian King and give up this game! "
Seeing that the two reached an agreement, Huang Hao glanced at His Majesty.
Li Shimin smiled slightly at Huang Hao. Huang Hao understood and hurriedly announced:
“In the second game, both sides made peace, and the result was a draw!
Now that the two games have passed, there is no winner for the time being. "
As soon as this result came out, everyone in the venue was in an uproar.
"I thought that all the young players in the imperial court would have to go through a hard battle, but I didn't expect it, but now they are still one game ahead.
If the imperial court wins the third game, then the barbarians have lost the bet.
From this point of view, the descendants of the senators promoted and trained by His Majesty are all extraordinary people! "
"Today, I wanted to have several famous kings kill the imperial court. Unexpectedly, Wei Lang and Meng Huo failed to win a single round.
Now we can only place our hope on the third game. If we win, we can have an extra game. If we lose, then today..."
While everyone was discussing, Huang Hao's voice sounded:
"In the third round of mounted archery, the target has been set up in the venue.
Each person can ride and shoot three times, and there are 10 arrows in each arrow pot.
The one who hits the most bullseyes by adding up three times wins! "
