Actor's reincarnation

Chapter 697
There are not many places to drink coffee in Jinmen, but the best coffee shop must be in Xiaobailou.

It was clearly daytime, but the boss insisted on half-drawing the curtains to create alternating dim light.

The soothing and low-pitched music reverberates in the space exuding compound aromas, making the atmosphere lazy and ambiguous.

That's why lovers always like to come to this kind of place to date, because eating and drinking men and women go to this kind of place, even if they don't want anything to happen, they will definitely be unable to restrain their minds from "thinking wrong".

For example, Su Yi and Gong Er are now.

The light with a halo sprinkles on each other, making the person sitting opposite look mysterious and angular.The white mist from the two cups of coffee occasionally blocked the sight of the two of them, and they tried to hide the emotion in their eyes at this alternate moment.

But it didn't work very well.

"I remember the first time I drank coffee when I was 14 years old." Gong Er suddenly smiled and said, "That year the Zhe Peng people bombed and killed Marshal Zhang in Huanggutun. After my father heard the news, Laughed three times and cried a lot. He laughed because if it weren’t for Marshal Zhang, my uncle would not have been forced to leave his hometown and couldn’t return home; he cried because without Marshal Zhang, Zhe Peng Who else can stop it?"

The topic was a little heavy, the previous charming atmosphere disappeared, and the softness in Su Yi's eyes gradually turned into solemnity.

However, this is Gong Er's intention.

"One single heart is to serve the country, and two lines of tears are for missing relatives." Gong Er said quietly, "I know my father's suffering and understand his dilemma. So I have always listened to him and never let anything go. He worries about me."

Su Yi listened quietly, without speaking.

"Dad has been suffering for a long time, and one day he suddenly said that he would take me to drink coffee. He said go, and I went with him. But after we went, I realized that it was not only me and dad who drank coffee together Individuals. There is also a father and son."

Speaking of this, Gong Er suddenly stopped, his eyes flickering.

Su Yi then understood what she was going to say, and also understood why she was "ignorant of style" when the atmosphere was just right.

"Their family is powerful and powerful, and has a great background in Jinling." Gong Er laughed at himself, "I always thought that my father was my god, and with him around, I would be happy and healthy all my life."

"But that day I realized that there is a sky beyond the sky. Troubled times are coming, and my father was afraid that his sky would not be able to cover me, so he found a higher and bigger sky for me."

Su Yi is still silent, he is still listening.

"I made a promise to that family and made an engagement with the son of that family." Gong Er looked at Su Yi, "Actually, when my father asked me that day, I just said 'no', and my father would definitely follow me, because He never forced me to do anything. Mr. Geng, do you know why I agreed to my father without saying anything in the end? "

Su Yi looked at her and said slowly, "Maybe, you want to be his God."

Gong Er's eyes suddenly became brighter.

She said: "I actually have some regrets, so I have practiced martial arts desperately these years. I think that maybe I don't need to rely on others, but I can rely on myself. Maybe I am overestimated. From that day on, I have never been happy. Pass."

Su Yi said, "Sometimes people are unhappy because they carry too many things that they shouldn't carry. They want to let go, but they think they shouldn't let go, and they can't let go."

"Are you the same, Mr. Geng?" Gong Er asked.

"Me too." Su Yi said.

"So you are not happy?" Gong Er asked again.

"Sometimes I do, but most of the time I take pleasure in suffering." Su Yi said with a smile, "Actually, which life is pain-free?"

"Miss Gong, in fact, people suffer when they should be in pain, and they are happy when they should be happy. You will not be happy when you are in pain, so why do you have to recall painful things when you are happy?"

Gong Er looked at Su Yi, suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Geng blames me for ruining the scenery?"

"No," Su Yi said, "I'm just trying to make you happy."

There seemed to be water in Gong Er's eyes, and she said softly: "Many people have told me not to be unhappy. But they never knew why I was unhappy, and they never tried to make me happy."

Su Yi smiled, but didn't speak.

"Tell me about you, Mr. Geng." Gong Er said, "I want to hear it."

Su Yi looked at her, and said slowly after a while: "Like you, I have burdened too many things that I can't let go of, so I have a lot of things that must be done, such as this time the arena, Ming Zhishan There are tigers, so I prefer to go to Tiger Mountain. In fact, no one likes to fight in the ring, but if you want to do things, the world needs you to fight with others."

"I have fought in this arena, there will definitely be another arena waiting for me, and I will continue to fight. Whether I want to or not, I have to stand on the arena again and again, use my fists, use my knife, to defeat the opponent, and even kill the opponent."

After a pause, Su Yi looked at Gong Er and continued: "So I am destined to miss a lot of scenery in my life, and I am also destined to leave a lot of regrets."

"Like now?" Gong Er suddenly asked.

"Yes." Su Yi said.

The two looked at each other, Gong Er's eyes were a little foggy, she smiled, as if joking: "If there is a chance, buy a train ticket that doesn't ask where you're going, are you willing to drop everything and follow me?"

"Can you let go?" Su Yi asked.

Gong Er looked deeply at Su Yi and shook his head slowly.

At this moment, Su Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

He suddenly thought that maybe when Gong Baosen asked Gong Er if he would promise to that young master, he was also in the same mood just now.

Then when Gong Er shook his head just now, was it the same reason as back then?

"Mr. Geng, I am very happy to meet you." Gong Er said.

"Me too." Su Yi said.

Gong Er smiled and stood up: "Actually, the coffee is not good, it's too bitter. Mr. Geng, I'll take this cup of coffee."

She turned and left without looking back.

Su Yi pressed himself firmly on the sofa for a long time, until he was sure that he would never catch up with Gong Er again.

Gong Er said that she has a stubborn temper and loves to be competitive, and she has never conceded defeat to anyone in her life.

But just now she still admitted it.

Su Yi told her that whoever loses this duel will be treated.

This cup of coffee was finally paid by Gong Er.

Since that day, Gong Er has never been here again.

In fact, after returning from Xiaobailou, Gong Baosen waited for his daughter in Zheng Zhai's martial arts arena as usual, but he didn't wait for Gong Er to come, he only waited for Lao Jiang to come.

"Master, the girl said she won't come." Old Jiang said, "She won't go in the future either."

Old Jiang hesitated to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Gong Baosen asked.

"Young lady and Geng Liangchen seem to have something wrong..." Lao Jiang hesitated.

Gong Baosen's complexion changed, and his eyes were cloudy and uncertain for a long time before he asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

"It's been five years, and I've never seen a girl so happy like this time." Old Jiang said, "But today, the old girl is back again."

Gong Baosen was silent for a long time, and heaved a long sigh: "It's time to deal with the Jinmen matter, let Shanao send a letter to the newspaper."

"Yes, sir."

The next day, the headlines of the major newspapers in Jinmen published a piece of news that the Chinese Samurai Association will hold the Huaguo Elite Samurai Competition at the Jinmen Martial Arts Museum in ten days, aiming to select the elites of Chinese martial arts from all schools and sects Come, form the Guoshu Elite Association, promote Guoshu, and carry forward the spirit of martial arts.

The Elite Samurai Tournament is divided into four stages.

The competition system of the first stage is the "Challenge of the Master". All the schools and individuals who are invited must randomly catch and fight according to the lottery. Those who win three games in a row can become the master. If the challenge is successful, you can enter the second stage of the competition.

The Challenger Competition lasts for ten days, and those who have not completed the rounds must fight at least twice a day, either by accepting challenges from others, or by randomly selecting opponents.

Once the loser still has a chance to continue to participate in the Master Challenge, but if he loses two games in total, he will lose the chance to advance to the second round.

The challenger who has completed the winning streak and successfully defended the ring within ten days advances to the next round of competition.

All the champions will be divided into groups by lottery and fight each other. Four people in each group need to play three games. The point system is adopted, with one point for a win and zero points for a loss.

Each group only takes No.1 to advance to the third round.

The competition system of the third stage is called "National Scholars Contest". In the second round, the No.1 champions in each group have to take turns to fight each other. The top three are still determined according to the points system.The titles of "National Scholar, Chivalrous Man and Samurai" were awarded by the Chinese Martial Arts Museum.

At this point, the main part of the Guoshu Elite Challenge is completely over.

But there is a fourth stage in the competition, which is the "Inheritance Exhibition Competition".

In this stage of the competition, Gong Baosen, Li Shuwen, Shang Yunxiang, Sun Lutang, Arm Saint Chuck, Yang Chengpu, Ma Yingtu, and Ma Liang, a total of eight martial arts celebrities, will select the top three elite martial artists to participate in the martial arts inheritance exhibition competition .

They will choose their favorite disciples at random, and conduct an inheritance exhibition match with them, and reward the challenger with their housekeeping skills and special skills after the challenger has reached their pre-set reasonable conditions.

In addition, as long as you advance to the second round, you can get a generous reward of [-] oceans.

If you advance to the third round, you will have a reward of [-] oceans.

The top three in the third round will receive rewards of [-], [-], and [-] oceans.

All prize money for this competition is sponsored by Liu Haiqing's "Three Youth League".

Looking at this familiar competition system, it is obvious that Su Yi has contributed a lot.

Whether it is a novel competition system or generous rewards, it is full of gimmicks.After the news was announced, it quickly aroused heated discussions among the people.

Moreover, the news was not only fermented in Jinmen, but soon spread to the whole country.

The competition system this time is very advanced, perfect and fair, and the rewards are very strong, which can be said to be unprecedented.

Almost all martial arts practitioners from all over the country were attracted, and those who had the conditions to come had already started to leave quickly, rushing here.

Ten days is enough time for people from most parts of the country to rush to Jinmen, but due to various reasons, there are still few warriors from the south, especially in the south of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Even so, ten days later, thousands of warriors gathered in Jinmen, which put a huge pressure on the security situation in Jinmen.

The streets of Jinmen have been very lively recently. No matter where they go, people are talking about this grand martial arts event.

The number of people was far beyond Gong Baosen's expectation. In Gong Baosen's original expectation, there were hundreds of people participating in the competition, which was already considered a grand event with a large number of people.

But now, there are thousands of people!
An event with thousands of people is definitely a super-large event, and it is also the first time in this era to hold such a grand event with the largest number of participants in history.

Gong Baosen and Zheng Shan'ao are a little numb, they have no experience in this.

This incident even attracted the attention of Yu Xuezhong and even Jinling. Because of the large number of people gathered, Jinling already had the voice to stop this martial arts competition. Come.

Fortunately, Su Yi acted in time, took over the job of "organizational consultant" without hesitation, and sent his subordinates to serve as "volunteers", and Liu Haiqing persuaded the military to come forward, so that the order was back on track.

As a result, the competition system of the first round of the "Leader Challenge" began to undergo some changes as the number of people increased. Thousands of contestants were divided into eight competition areas according to the order of registration time. Participants in the eight competition areas were not allowed to " "Cross-regional" competition, the competition of the eight venues will also be held at the same time.The duration of the game was strictly controlled within 5 minutes.

As a result, although the number of participants was nearly ten times higher than expected, the competition system has not changed much, and it has not been greatly affected.

This mature competition system surprised everyone, and felt that the person who could design such a competition system was definitely a genius.

There are even warlords who pay attention to this matter and offer generous conditions to "poach corners", hoping that Su Yi will jump to their subordinates and do "more meaningful work."

Of course Su Yi ignored it and turned a deaf ear.This made those who knew of his existence full of praise for his "indifferent to fame and fortune".

Game day has finally arrived!
On this day, the entire Jinmen was empty of thousands of people, and all the people flocked to the eight competition venues in Jinmen to visit this unprecedented martial arts tournament.

Su Yi didn't make any specializations, because this game really ignored the background and treated everyone equally. Everyone had to start from the first round.

Of course, even this cannot be completely fair.Fame and fortune are two words that can make people rack their brains, one after another, no matter how perfect the rules are, some people can find the loopholes in them,

For example, someone is likely to buy ten opponents to challenge themselves in order to advance, and deliberately lose to themselves in the ring, so that they have the qualifications to advance to the second round.

In such a situation, even Su Yi has no good way to solve it, and can only achieve his goal through punishment afterwards.

Fortunately, this kind of challenger who got up through cheating is determined not to go far, because in the second round, everyone is on the same starting line again.

As a contestant, Su Yi was assigned to the first competition area, which had the largest number of people, with more than [-] warriors from all over the country participating.The racetrack is in the French Concession, a racetrack run by a lighthouse man.

Five arenas have been set up here early on, and there are two referees in each arena.
