Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 236

"Whispering, chattering, what are you talking about?"

……

……

Guan Jiujiu's speech was ruthlessly interrupted again, so he could only endure the unhappiness in his heart, and patiently explained: "Okay, okay, I'll say it, I'll say it. The hero meeting will last for five days. You are divided into four groups, A, B, C, and D. Group A will be arranged tomorrow, that is, the fifteenth day of the first month. Each group will only take one first name, and so on. Group B will be arranged on the sixteenth day of the first month, and Group C will be arranged on the seventeenth day of the first month. On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, similarly, only one winner will be selected for each group. On the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, four groups will be selected for the first place, and then they will have a life-and-death fight in the arena. In the end, only the only winner will be selected. This winner is our cao The only person to help the chief helmsman."

"On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Lord Lu Chengqing, the governor of Yizhou, will go to Longxi City in person to write an inscription for the Minjiang Cao Gang, hehe, and appoint the only winner as the chief rudder of the Cao Gang. The helmsman is of course qualified to sit with Governor Lu and drink and eat."

"As for which group you are divided into, it is decided by lottery based on luck. Come and present the wooden box, and let everyone in charge choose the group by lottery."

"The lottery note not only says the four groups A, B, C, D, but also the order of the competition. As for who will be on the stage first or last, it depends on their own luck. There is no room for cheating."

After a while, a yamen servant came up to the court with a red lacquered wooden box, swayed around in the crowd, and let the water bandits reach into the wooden box to draw lots for the note.

Soon, all the people present finished drawing lots, and they spread out the slips of paper in their hands to see which group they belonged to.

"Hey, it seems that the gods favored me, Zhao Si, and the man was the last one to take the stage in Group A. Hey, isn't this just sitting back and reaping the rewards?"

Zhao Si was the first to spread out the note, shaking his farts. The last person in Group A came to the stage, which meant that he could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and wait until the end to come on stage.At that time, even the winner who can persevere in front of him may not be able to support his physical strength.If Zhao Si's force value is not much different from it, then Zhao Si is a sure winner.

His stinky show off immediately aroused the jealousy and jealousy of many people, especially those big bosses who were drawn first in each group to appear on stage, let alone how angry they were.

But when the qi comes back, the qi returns, just as Guan Jiujiu said, it all depends on luck.

Besides, it's not fair for you to wait until the lottery is drawn and the lottery is drawn. Isn't this smashing your own signboard and slapping yourself in the face?Isn't this telling everyone that I'm not good at martial arts, so I just take advantage of small loopholes to make money?

This is not the style of people in the rivers and lakes.

After spreading out the notes, everyone basically knew which group they belonged to and which group they should be on stage to fight. They all fell silent and kept their mouths shut. Their thoughts gradually became active, thinking about how to fight for the top spot at that time.

Guo Ye quietly put the note into his bosom, and glanced at Guan Jiujiu beside him with a look of displeasure, because the note he grabbed said - Group C, the first one to come on stage to defend the ring.

Ri your mother, there are nearly 15 people in a group, if someone like Guo wants to win the first place, he must defend the ring to the end, and lose 15 people in a row to achieve his wish.

Isn't this fucking exhausting me to death?

If I had known this would happen, I would have communicated with Guan Jiujiu and performed a secret operation.

Just when Guo Ye was muttering in his heart, Zhao Si, the leader of the water bandits, who had been silent for a long time and was unwilling to be lonely, shouted again: "Hey, this is a good way, and our old Zhao likes it. But Guan Shusheng, if Zhao has no hands and feet Seriously, what if someone is killed? What if Lao Zhao bravely defeats all the heroes in the arena, hehe, earning a title, and they play tricks and don’t agree with me as the chief helmsman, what should I do?"

laugh……

Zhao Si is a bitch, and the toad yawned so loudly that he was really defiant.

The old friend Wang Bajin was even more stern, and snorted without fear at all: "The chief helmsman was beaten down by fists and kicks, not by bragging and lip service, melons!"

This time, Zhao Si did not compete with Wang Bajin, but spit on the ground, stomped on the ground twice, and said, "You don't care about me? I am happy!"

"Grass!"

Wang Bajin clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could go up and beat Zhao Si to death right now, that son of a bitch, his colleagues are enemies, of course.

"Quiet, quiet!"

Guan Jiujiu saw that someone started to pinch again, and hurriedly shouted: "Master Zhao is very thoughtful, but this is not a problem, because all the masters who participated in the competition for the chief helmsman in the ring must do it first today." one thing."

"That is—to sign the life and death certificate!"

Life and death?

As soon as these words came out, there was another burst of discussion among the people present like buzzing, and in a blink of an eye, the crowd started shouting again.

Life and death are familiar to everyone in the Jianghu.

The rivers and lakes have always been a place of fierce rivalry, and hatred will be formed if there is a disagreement.As the saying goes, the rivers and lakes are the things of the rivers and lakes, so there is a tradition of martial arts competitions and grievances.

Anyone who has an unresolvable feud and wants to fight for life and death in the ring will sign a life and death certificate, which can also be understood as a waiver of liability or a liability waiver contract. Wealth is in the sky" and so on.

Now I heard that Guan Jiujiu, a member of the government, also mentioned the status of life and death. I am curious, but it is also within the scope of understanding.

However, there is a saying widely circulated in Jianghu Green Forest: as long as you sign the life and death certificate, you will have stepped into the gate of hell with half a foot.

Even if you want to admit defeat in the arena and beg for mercy, you have to be told by the other party that you can do it, and you can't decide on your own at all.

At this time, even these water bandits who licked blood on the river all day long and killed people without frowning, couldn't help feeling a little bit of hesitation in their hearts.

No matter how glorious and paralyzed the chief rudder of the Cao Gang is, he must have a life to be, and a life to enjoy it.

does it worth?

Suddenly, the whole scene was a little cold, and everyone hesitated.

Seeing this, Guan Jiujiu was instantly anxious, and looked at Guo Ye again as if asking for help, and asked, my lord, what should I do?That's all the students have, so I don't know what to do next.

And what about Guo Ye?

It is also seen in the eyes and anxious in the heart.

Now that it has come to this point, everything is proceeding according to the predetermined track, so don't lose the chain at this time.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and it is not an exaggeration.

If these water bandit leaders admit their cowardice at this time and all regret not participating in this matter, then their overall plan will be ruined.

It seems that you have to do it yourself!

Immediately, Guo Ye raised his right arm high, thundered on the ground, pretended to be excited and shouted: "I am Guo Jing, willing to sign this life and death certificate!"

Guo Ye temporarily made up a name, plagiarized the name of the Condor Shooting Hero Guo Jing written by Jin Yong, and still resolutely became the first bird.

Immediately afterwards, Guo Ye's tone seemed a little off, as if he didn't pay attention to these people present, he shouted arrogantly: "Although I, Guo Jing, am only a late student on the Minjiang River, and my qualifications are not as deep as your predecessors, but this courage Never lose. Hehe, the chief rudder of the Cao Gang who is in charge of tens of thousands of gangs is enjoyable to think about. When the time comes, Guo will have a high position and authority. If he gives an order, the Baili Minjiang River will not dare to refuse, huh, ha Ha ha……"

While shaking his head and laughing wildly, he did not forget to wave the ghost knife in his hand, danced a few beautiful knives, and then muttered: "My father and his old man are right, the older the world, the less courageous it is!"

wipe!

This can be regarded as a complete map shot.

Regardless of whether Guo Ye's words are not intended to be spoken by those who listen to them, or it is an old trick, please be more aggressive than generals.

Anyway, it was a slap in the face of all the big masters present.

However, the effect finally appeared, and the whole court was completely exploded.

"You're paralyzed, Empress Qingpi is so angry, if you dare to sign, I won't dare to sign? Hurry up, count me in as Zhao Si, I will drink flower wine after signing."

"Sir, you are a god, you have been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and you have been underestimated by a wicked kid, and I signed it."
