sword sentient beings

Chapter 548 Challenge
I heard a white-haired man say: "This is what you said. Master Jian, although we are strangers, and my father and I have only met once, but I hit you off right away when I saw you, and it's rare that you are so generous. Refreshingly, I have made up your friend."

Another white-haired man said: "Exactly. This is called hitting it off, right? I only regret that your father didn't bring you out earlier, otherwise we would have been friends long ago. I heard that the manor owners you entertain these days are good, and foreign Whether you are a guest or not, they all praised you, and no one said anything bad about you. You are also a rare talent in a hundred years, and you are really likable! I also heard that you are fighting swords these days, whether you are a slave or a fighter, or even You have never lost in the swordsman game, so you can see that your troops are strong and strong. The master is strong and slaves are strong, I think your Changfa Manor is about to develop."

This sounds a bit like the usual business bragging at the wine table, just listen to it, don't use your brain.But at this time, Chi Mingjing felt that it was not all lies.

Not to mention the strength of soldiers and horses, the strength of this group of people is only showing the tip of the iceberg. Chi Mingjing can't see the truth at all, he only feels that it is unfathomable, and only talks about people——

This young master really has a special charm.

Ordinary people are attracted to him without knowing it when they are by his side, and they naturally have a good impression of him.If there are a few good words from him and a few glasses of wine, I really feel like I have an extra family member in this world.

This kind of charm is unreasonable. There have been so many people coming and going at the banquet in the past ten days, with different identities and personalities. The influence of this charm is nothing more than deep and shallow.

Even those who are least affected have at least achieved "friendliness" towards the young master, and those who are most affected by him, that is, those swordsmen and stewards who he specially called out from the manor, must reach "friendliness" one by one. "Worship".

Chi Mingjing thought of Xing Wu who was rescued by him. At that time, he was only spending a day with the young master. He also said that it was not the young master who asked him to save him. It was as if he had been greatly favored by the young master since he was a child.

The two face-to-face companions sitting under the stands are Xing Jiu and Xing Shisan who were originally staying behind in the Changfa Manor, but now they are called down the mountain. Together with Xing Wu, they are the only three swordsmen left in the Chang Fa Manor. All the subordinates looked respectful and respectful.Even Xing Wu was not the most sincere. That Xing Shisan, the youngest swordsman, was so young that his hair was not completely white. At this time, the young master who was always looking at the stand was like looking at a fairy.

Chi Mingjing found it unbelievable, but when she thought about it, she found that she was also a little bit attracted to the young master, and even her nostalgia for this team was inseparable from the young master. The second thing that affected her was... Xing Qi ?
Isn't this the hell?

In this team, I am most familiar with Wei Se, Jiang Shenyi, and A Lie. These people have their own talents, they are trustworthy, or cute, and they have communicated with me before. Why should I have a good impression of that young master?

What did he do?He just eats and drinks!

Isn't this evil?

The strangest thing is, when she first met this young master in the desert more than ten days ago, she didn't think he was so charming?At that time, she had an impression of Xing Qi, who seemed to be a person with strong ability and ability to make decisions.I haven't seen you for a few days, how did you become like a different person?
How come you have new skills after eating banquets?
Just listen to the young master here: "I have something to ask. I heard that the sacrifices are prepared, and there is a recommendation from the upper-level manor, can the manor be raised to a higher level?"

One of the heads of the two Changyi manors, named Tu Fei, said with a smile: "I knew Brother Jian had this ambition. If a third-tier manor has a first-tier manor as a guarantee, then prepare for the one appointed by the two masters." Tributes can be promoted to one level. This is not a secret. You are so generous, there are not a few people who are willing to be your guarantors. It is not impossible for us, but—the first two levels of the two mountains are full of people, If you want to go up, you have to kick people down. That's a battle. Are you ready? It's a bottom-up challenge. If you fail, the consequences will be serious, and you have to let the other party handle it. Normally—"

He made a decapitation gesture, "Death is certain."

The young master said: "Of course, I and my minions are ready, and I am about to fight a battle! I also ask the two big brothers to help me."

Tufei smiled and said: "Well, I guess my brother is not a rash person. It is good to be enlightened. Our swordsmen in Wuliangshan are not afraid of death. There are no outsiders here today. Tell us, do you have a goal? Who do you want to replace? ?”

The young master said: "I'm going to ask the two big brothers to take a closer look. We have also done a survey, and there are two targets. Sunset Manor and Dark Star Manor. Which one do you think is better?"

In a word, the two Zhuangtou were silent at the same time.

The young master didn't speak, the three above fell silent, and the place became cold.The wealthy businessmen who were drinking below suddenly felt that drinking was not fun.

After a while, the other of the two dealers, Jin Jiu, said, "What do you think? Did you choose these two?"

The young master said: "I heard that Sunset Manor is the oldest manor, but now it is not what it used to be, the manor is withering, and every year is not as good as it is every year. It's okay to say soft persimmons, right? The Dark Star Manor is a newcomer, The last time a sacrifice was made, the second-tier manor was knocked off the horse, and he climbed up to the second-tier. The so-called punching an [-]-year-old man and kicking a three-year-old boy, the oldest and the youngest two manors do not take advantage of it, and you can't bully the strong man back then Right? Hahaha..."

Everyone laughed, Chi Mingjing's mouth twitched slightly, thinking behind the screen: Are you all laughing?Is this a good word?Bullying the old and the young, and speaking out in public.

Tufei couldn't help laughing, and said: "Manors are different from people, regardless of age or age. Sunset Manor... is a bit down and out now. The old owner had a stroke last year and is still half paralyzed. Even if he is a soft persimmon Right. There is some reason to pick him. But there is one thing, this manor is of a different status, it is older than some first-tier manors. It is under the favor of the two masters. If you challenge this manor, even if you succeed, there will be unknown risks. As for the Dark Star Manor..."

That Jin Jiu had already said bluntly: "Don't court death."

Everyone was stunned, and Tu Fei said: "That's exactly what I said. Because Dark Star Manor just succeeded in the challenge, we all saw its strength. To be honest, even I was afraid. At that time, it almost defeated me. There are more than enough two manors, and I am afraid that it will not be difficult to climb a level. Maybe it is preparing to climb a level this year and wants to challenge us! Do you still dare to challenge it?"

The young master murmured: "Is that so? I heard that it is a young man from Wuliangshan, who rose all the way from Ye Manor. It only took two hands before it was promoted to the second level. These three years have been very low-key. mystery……"

Tu Fei said: "It's low-key. There are two types of low-key, one is low-key due to insufficient strength, and the other is low-key and mysterious with unfathomable strength. Dark Star Manor is the second type. Brother, we had a good drink today , let me advise you, you would rather choose Sunset Manor than Dark Star Manor."

The young master patted the table and said: "Okay, just listen to my brother, we choose Sunset Manor!"

What Tu Fei meant was not to ask him to choose Sunset Manor. There are still many manors with ostentatious appearances in the second-tier manors. Why compete with this old rotten boat with three nails?But in the final analysis, he and Changfa Manor are not close or related, today's persuasion is already for the sake of wine and gifts, the other party has made a decision, why bother to persuade?It's better to use this impulsive rich young master to seek some benefits for himself.

So Tufei drank a glass of wine with a smile, and said, "Brother, you want to challenge, is it a civil war or a martial war?"

The young master said in astonishment: "What's the point? What about literary warfare, and what about martial warfare?"

Tufei said: "Martial warfare is just a general challenge. On the day of the sacrificial ceremony, you go up to the second level with the sacrificial offerings, and challenge the Sunset Manor face to face. All swordsmen, fighters and even sword slaves charge forward together, endlessly. , until the entire army of one side is annihilated or surrendered. Wen Zhan, please be more polite. Find someone to send a letter of challenge to Sunset Manor, stating that in a contest of strength, there is only competition, not life and death. Arrange a time and occasion—for example Well, ten days later, there will be a banquet in Yulang City. Everyone stipulates how many people will fight a few times at the banquet, and have a showdown. Invite famous people to testify, and the battle during the banquet will be the final result. You If you win, Sunset Manor takes the initiative to let Xian, and if you lose, you must show something and pay some compensation. Although this cannot be said to be harmless, it will not form a life-and-death enmity. If you retreat, you can still gain a foothold at the third level. What do you think?"

Chi Mingjing thought: Wang Liangshan is also using this roundabout method now?Can this kind of battle of ranks be regardless of life and death?Didn't it mean that it was an extremely cruel world where life and death were at every turn?Sure enough, it is cruel to the sword slave, and there is a messy retreat for the manor owner?
In terms of blood, these manor owners have also fallen, right?
The young master pondered for a while, and said: "Okay, then Wenzhan! I will invite the two heads of the village to preside over it, and I will ask a middleman to give me a letter of challenge. If Sunset Manor is interested, it can't be that we can ask it to keep some Decent. If you don’t know the taste, then you can’t blame me. Anyway, I’m not afraid of civil and military battles. This second-tier manor is definitely our Changfa Manor!”

Tu Fei thought to himself: Let’s talk about this after you win.Who doesn't know what happened in your Changfa manor half a year ago?How much strength do you still have now?And old Xingcang... You should settle your own affairs first before talking about anything else.

But at this time, you can't say such disappointing things. Whether it's a middleman or a witness, they are all good opportunities, so why not agree?Tu Fei served the wine again, and said with a smile, "Excellent, Master Jian! Here's to our new 'Day' manor!"
