sword sentient beings

Chapter 553 Choice
"Snapped--"

With a loud explosion, a refined official kiln blue and white porcelain cup was smashed to pieces on the ground, turning into gray-white residue all over the ground.

In a luxurious inner room with extremely luxurious decoration, even better than the house of a foreign young master, an old man with a white beard was panting and his beard was trembling.

"Bastard! What is Jane Chenglong? Where did he come from, a cat or a dog? He also wants to challenge me? What kind of civil war, military war, where did you get the ghosts? Have the two mountains degenerated to such a point now? I Wu Sha Yu was actually approached and bullied by this kind of person! Is this treating me like a toothless tiger? I am always old and not dead yet!"

He yelled loudly, still puzzled, overturned a red sandalwood flower stand, and the jade bonsai on it rolled to the ground.

A respectful white-haired woman stood next to her with her hands down, only watching the old man make a fuss, and she was not afraid that he would make a fuss too much, after all, the old man could only sit on a chair and couldn't get up, so the scope of the fuss was very limited.

After he had quarreled for a while, the woman said: "Master, Tufei, the head of Changyi Manor, is still outside..."

Before he finished speaking, the old man had already spat out a big mouthful of thick phlegm, and said, "Tufei? Isn't it just Xingfei? You think you can change your surname if you stole the Changyi Manor by stealing? A sword slave for a day, a sword slave for life He is always Xingfei, and that white hair is the proof of his lowliness!"

The white-haired woman herself acted as if she had never heard of it, and said: "Since the master refuses to allow it, the servants will go and refuse him."

The old man said: "Reject him, throw the post in his face, and tell him to go back! What a villain, a villain who rebels against the master, dare not pretend to be the owner of the village, so he named him a nondescript village head, it's really shocking!" Laugh out loud! Now that the rules are becoming more and more unruly, there are actually many children who have forgotten their ancestors and screamed! The world is going to be turned upside down? If my old man is not old, I would have come to the door to slap him in the face and put him in the face. Tuck it into the shadows and dedicate it to my lord."

He paused, then shouted again: "Tell that unknown junior, Jane Chenglong, that my Sunset Manor is here, and I will never fight. But if you want to fight, you must follow the old rules and put your life on your back. Everyone, including him, will fight to the death. , Let’s see who can survive! What kind of civil war and military battle are ridiculous, this is not a kid’s play, don’t be ashamed if you can’t afford to die!”

The white-haired woman agreed and withdrew.

Of course she wouldn't listen to the old man and throw the post in the visitor's face.Changyi Manor is one of the five first-tier manors. It is much more noble than their second-tier manors. If the old man has not been disabled for a long time, he should go out to greet him in person.As for the head of the village and the owner of the manor, even the "my lord" in the old man's mouth recognized their status, so what's the use of him insisting on not admitting it?

However, the final reply to Changfa Manor was okay: "If you want to fight, fight to the death, so why play?"

The white-haired woman only left behind the old man who lost his temper alone, and walked forward alone.

Seeing the front hall, I suddenly heard a message from the old man of the owner: "Fortunately, come back."

Luckily, the white-haired woman hurried back to the back hall.

The back hall was completely quiet, surrounded by debris on the ground, the old man sat quietly on the soft chair, his whole body shrunk in the shadows, his expression could not be seen clearly, he seemed to have calmed down, but his white beard was still trembling.

"Go and tell Xingfei - I agree."

Rao is fortunate that he never questioned the owner's decision, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

It's only time for a cup of tea - not even a cup of tea is cold after brewing!
The old man coughed lightly, and said smoothly: "Just follow the bullshit he said... Wen Zhan, I agreed. But since I agreed, I still gave him enough face. The rules have to be set by me, not allowed Bargain. Or fight."

At that moment, the old man murmured out a speech, which was clearly organized, one, two, three, four, as if he had been thinking about it for a long time.

Fortunately, while firmly remembering, while wondering:
What was it that made the always stubborn master suddenly change his mind?
-
Yulang City.

"Is this proposed by Wu Shayu from the Sunset Manor?" The young master Jian Chenglong who was scolded by the old man was looking at a large piece of text in front of him, which was officially written by the Sunset Manor.

"Exactly." Tufei took a sip of tea proudly. Compared with his accomplices, he likes to solicit more and is more greedy, "Brother Jian, I can go to Sunset Manor to persuade Lao Wu for your sake. Sitting for a whole day and talking dry, he got this result. He didn't want to say anything at first, and felt ashamed. I persuaded him: "Since my brother Jian dared to speak like this, he has the strength. The tide is surging and unstoppable, what's the use of you blindly avoiding it? When the time comes, there will be a big battle, blood will flow like a river, and you will lose all your face. Wouldn't it be a sin to disturb the purity of the two masters at this critical moment? Go up to the handover in a dignified way, and leave the stage frankly. Everyone sees that you are always so magnanimous. Who dares to underestimate you?' He agreed."

The young master nodded repeatedly, thanked him, looked at the paper in front of him, and said, "He proposed two plans. One is to fight four times, and the other is to fight eight times... each with eight swordsmen?"

Thoughtful, he looked up at Xing Qi who was standing in front of him, and pondered: "Is this... the plan that asked me to choose four games?"

Seeing the conditions on paper, although he was given a choice, the other party's intentions were clearly revealed.

Two proposals were put forward on the paper, one is four swordsman competitions from each faction, but it will be held in Sunset Manor, and the time will be chosen by the other party, and the guests will each choose a part.The other plan is eight games, which can be held at a neutral venue, the time and place are to be agreed upon by both parties, and each party should choose a part of the guests.

It seems that the plan of eight games is more fair. The problem is... Changfa Manor can't get together eight swordsmen at all!
On the bright side, Tang Zhao, the others and the young master himself only had two swordsmen, plus the original Xingwu, Xingqi, Xingjiu, and Xingshisan of the manor, even with the old guy Xing Cang, there were only seven swordsmen. a swordsman.There are really no eight swordsmen.

Do you think it's a coincidence?Only one short!
If you choose four swordsmen, you have a lot of room to maneuver. You can choose the strongest four, but you have to go to the opponent's home court.At that time, the situation will be greatly tilted towards the other side.

Tufei also knew that the other party was in a difficult situation. He mainly made money from the young master this time, so his position was also partial to him, and pointed out: "In fact, he also took advantage of the eight games. After all, he is an old-fashioned manor. After years of accumulation, there are a lot of talents. Your brother may have a few top talents in his hands, but in terms of thickness, he should not be able to compare with them. Even if you really make up eight people, there must be shortcomings. When the time comes, they will hold a few games first. If you win the game, you can still arrange tactics calmly, so the chances of winning will be great?"

After all, he said earnestly: "Brother Jian, now you are the one who wants to take the initiative to challenge others, the lower ranks challenge the upper ranks, and the initiative is not yours. It is impossible for the other party to come up with a plan that will make you comfortable. If you are confident , just go upstream and beat him until he loses his temper, so he will naturally convince the crowd, otherwise he can only take a step back."

Jian Chenglong... that is, Jin Wu frowned secretly. As a sword with a long lifespan, his wisdom is not inferior to that of others, but he lives in a simple environment. In the intrigue between people and others, the analysis of pros and cons was a bit worse, and he was hesitant for a while.

Seeing his hesitation, Tu Fei said, "It's not impossible..."

At this time, Xing Qi, that is, Tang Zhao smiled and said: "Tu Zhuangtou, this is the first time our master has encountered such a thing. You have seen a lot, and I would be very grateful if you could give me some pointers. We The master still has a heart to offer."

Tufei smiled and said: "What kind of careless, too far-fetched. In fact, there is a loophole in it, have you thought about it? Eight games, if each wins four games, how will the winner be divided? It's better to subtract one game. Seven games and four games Victory, justifiably."

Tang Zhao thought about it, and said, "What can he do?"

Tu Fei said: "It's not necessarily impossible, you just ask him to give way a little bit, which is generally beneficial to him. I will make things right for you, and there is still some face in the Changyi Manor. At worst, I will add more heads, we will not If you choose another neutral venue, why not choose our Changyi Manor? Changyi Manor is a first-order manor, how good is it to hold it there? Guests can also invite first-order manor owners, and I can even hint to him that when I am an arbitrator, I will Lean towards him, not afraid that the old guy will not give in."

Jin Wu couldn't decide for a while, so he said: "Let me think about it."

The so-called consideration, of course, is to discuss with Tang Zhao, Tang Zhao is the real caller of this team.

Tufei nodded. This matter is a small matter for him, but it can be said to be a matter of life and death for the two manors. Why don't people discuss it in the long term?But he still reminded him very competently: "Brother Jian, the Deep Shadow Society will arrive in a blink of an eye, and then there will be sacrifices. One month is gone, so don't discuss it for too long. In fact, even if you choose The four games are nothing. So what about in his home court? He can play tricks at most, and as long as he is strong enough, he will sweep away. At that time, I will sit down for you. If he plays big cheats or even tears his face to ambush you, then he is not good. Give us Changyi Manor face, I will be the first to spare him."

At this time, Tang Zhao suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, Tuzhuangtou, for your kindness. But I think eight sword fights are an even number, and it's really not easy to tell the winner. But it doesn't have to be seven—why can't it be nine field?"

Tufei was stunned for a moment, and said, "What do you mean?"

There are not enough manpower, how can we increase it?
Tang Zhao smiled more clearly, and said, "That is to say, Master Wu seems to like a lot of sword fights, so why can't we accompany them? How about arranging nine rounds? Or, eleven rounds are also fine?"
