Chapter 298 Heroes Conference (14)
As soon as Wei Wentong got off his horse, Yuwen Shu rushed out angrily. Wei Wentong hurriedly bowed and said, "I am humble and incompetent, and I have let my lord down on my expectations!"
Yuwen Shu didn't say a word, and slapped him hard in the face, staggering Wei Wentong. Yuwen Shu snorted heavily and turned around and left. Wei Wentong hurriedly knelt down on one knee, not daring to argue, but he knew in his heart that he had angered his lord because he did not fire a crossbow at the critical moment.
After taking Yuwen Shu away, Wei Wentong slowly took off the crossbow and pinched it into a ball.
"It's your luck that you didn't cum!"
The plain voice of Yuwen Chengdu came from next to him. Wei Wentong and Yuwen Chengdu have always had a bad relationship. Yuwen Chengdu looked down on Wei Wentong's clinging to Yuwen Shu. Wei Wentong hated Yuwen Chengdu's arrogance. The two of them rarely talked. Even when they met, they would pretend not to know each other and turned a blind eye to each other.
But today Yuwen Chengdu took the initiative to speak for the first time. Wei Wentong didn't say anything. Yuwen Chengdu sneered again: "He has seen the crossbow for a long time, so he defended but did not attack. If you fail to shoot his horse, you will only die under his halberd."
After saying that, Yuwen Chengdu turned around and left. Wei Wentong's eyes fell on the crossbow on the ground. After a while, he sighed softly.
He knew that Yuwen Chengdu was right. Zhang Xuan did not kill himself in the last blow because he gave up the launching crossbow, so Zhang Xuan said, "It was him who saved his life!"
A thought made him walk back and forth at the gate of hell, and a cold sweat suddenly oozed out of Wei Wentong's back
The confrontation between masters can often end within a few rounds, and the ten competitions ended quickly. It was not too upset, and it was basically everyone expected.
Ten generals including Li Xuanba, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhang Xuan, Pei Xingyan, Wu Yunzhao, Luo Cheng, Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin, Song Laosheng, Shi Huaiyi, etc. ranked among the top ten, among which three generals of the Flying Eagle Army ranked among the top ten. This caused a sensation.
If you have to find an unpopular person, it is Shi Huaiyi, the son of Shi Wansui, the first fierce general in the early Sui Dynasty, and the general Wuyonglang of the Youtun Guard, was recommended by General Zhang Jin. He did not inherit his father's Wansui Tong. Instead, he used a pair of double guns.
Because Shi Huaiyi was very low-key and had almost no fame. He did not show up before the competition, so no one talked about him, but he passed the hurdles and finally eliminated the brother of General Chen Len and entered the top ten, which was really unexpected.
Yuchi Gong smiled and walked into the war preparation shed with a large food box and a bucket of soup. Although he was unfortunately defeated by Wu Yunsong, Yuchi Gong was not depressed.
In his own words, it was just an ordinary piece of pig iron, but he insisted on building a magic weapon, which would only make people laugh at him in the end. He felt that he could enter the top 20, and he was already very satisfied. He would be inappropriate to compete for the top 10.
"Three heroes, have dinner!"
Yuchi Gong put the food box and smiled at Zhang Xuan and the other two, "I am the chef now. Everyone wants to eat something, just speak!"
"I want to eat beef sauce!"
Luo Shixin jumped over and said with a smile: "Chef Yuchi. This little request should satisfy me!"
"This beef has no, only mutton sauce, sorry."
Zhang Xuan walked up and slapped Luo Shixin's scalp, "I know I can't eat beef, but I still have to make things difficult for others. Next time you go to Beihai County to behead the beef and see how I deal with you!"
Luo Shixin covered his head and muttered, "I'm not making things difficult for him. He said he wanted to eat, just speak up!"
"I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously."
"I didn't take it seriously. He likes to make excuses to hit me. He especially likes to hit me on the back of my head. My grandmother said that men don't hit my head and women don't touch their feet. Do you know?"
Zhang Xuan was both angry and funny, and opened the food box and said, "Eat quickly! Stop nagging like a woman."
The three of them picked up a piece of meat pie and ate it. Pei Xingyan asked vaguely while eating, "Yuchi, how many more will be played in the afternoon?"
"There are two or three games left! I heard that not everyone can play. It is up to the Lord to decide who can compete for the leader?"
Luo Shixin suddenly became a little depressed, "If this happens, I will have no hope."
Luo Shixin understood in his heart that he could not compare to Pei Xingyan in terms of strength, and in terms of superb marksmanship, he was not as good as Wu Yunzhao and Luo Cheng. Why wasn't he the turn to compete for the top five? He suddenly became bored and became listless in his meal.
"I just heard that there are so many rumors outside now. Who knows whether it is true or not? Eat quickly! Maybe everyone has a portion, but you are hungry."
"It makes sense too!"
Luo Shixin suddenly became energetic and reached out to grab another piece of cake.
Since the emperor had to go back to the palace for lunch at noon, the final decisive battle in the afternoon had to wait until the emperor came back, so the people who watched the battle also returned to the city to have a meal and rest.
At this time, various rankings and rumors spread across the streets and alleys of Luoyang, but compared to yesterday's ranking, today's ranking version is obviously much more reliable, basically the same.
Although Li Xuanba and Yuwen Chengdu have never held a competition, it does not prevent everyone from ranking Yuwen Chengdu below Li Xuanba. In the eyes of ordinary people, Li Xuanba's sledgehammer is still much heavier than Yuwen Chengdu's phoenix wing gilded boring.
This is true. The golden hammer of the Thunder Drum and Urn is 120 kilograms heavier than the phoenix wing gilded boring. Besides, Li Xuanba is not stupid and thick. His hammering technique is superb, and Yuwen Chengdu cannot take advantage of the tricks.
As for the third place, it is also something that everyone hopes for. Zhang Xuan is a little stronger than Pei Xingyan, who is also a Flying Eagle Army, and Pei Xingyan can only rank fourth.
Then there was Wu Yunzhao, the East China Sea Golden Spear. His heavy rain pear gun brought an extremely deep impression to everyone. In comparison, although Luo Cheng's shooting skills are no less than Wu Yunzhao, his strength is slightly weak, so he ranked behind Wu Yunzhao and became sixth.
But in the military ranking, Zhang Xutuo, who did not participate in the Heroes Competition, could even enter the top ten by Zhang Xutuo's disciple Luo Shixin, let alone the master, so in the military ranking, Wu Yunzhao could only rank sixth, Luo Cheng ranked seventh, Su Dingfang, ninth, Luo Shixin, tenth, Song Laosheng.
As for the dark horse Shi Huaiyi, although he was the son of Shi Wansui, the number one strong general in the world before, he obviously did not learn the essence of his father. He actually used a double gun instead of Wansuitong, so everyone still ranked him out of the top ten, and could only rank around fifteen or sixteen.
After all, there are also veteran Yu Juluo who has not participated in the competition, come to Hu'er, Wang Junkuo, Shan Xiongxin who withdrew, Wei Wentong who was eliminated by Zhang Xuan, Yuchi Gong who was eliminated by Wu Yunzhao, Hou Mo Chenqing, Qin Qiong who was eliminated by Li Xuanba, etc., all have strong strength.
Whether it is the ranking of the military version or the ranking of the folk version, these are not important. What is important is that the entire Luoyang City is obsessed with the competition of the Heroes. Men, women, young and old, everyone talks about various martial arts and rankings, and they are spitting everywhere, and they are enjoying it.
Even the children sang children's songs.
‘A hero Li Xuanba, Thunder King's thunder hammer shook the world.’
‘Two heroes Yu Wen Tong, who can stop sweeping thousands of troops?’
‘Three heroes Zhang Yuanding, the divine weapon, the heavenly halberd is urging people to die.’
In the afternoon, the heroes gradually reached their climax. After a noon rendering, more Luoyang people rushed from all directions. At the same time when the emperor arrived at the military camp, the Luoyang people poured into the military camp had reached 100,000, which had reached the extreme of the number of people that the military camp could accommodate.
But Luo Shixin was still disappointed. Emperor Yang Guang made a decision. There were only three competitions in the afternoon, with Li Xuanba, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhang Xuan and Pei Xingyan participating to compete for the leader of this hero conference.
The lottery was held in the east stand, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at Wei Xuan, the Minister of War. Everyone was extremely nervous. Yuwen Shu was afraid that Yuwen Chengdu would meet Li Xuanba in advance and lose the opportunity to compete for the leader. Zhang Xutuo was also very nervous. Two of the four were his generals.
More than a dozen competition combinations were put into the wooden box in advance, and Wei Xuan pulled out one of them. At this time, Wei Xuan pulled out a piece of paper, slowly opened it and said loudly: "Li Xuanba vs. Zhang Xuan, Yuwen Chengdu vs. Pei Xingyan."
Everyone fell in love with each other, which seemed to be the fairest competition combination.
Wei Xuan looked at the emperor Yang Guang, and Yang Guang nodded, "Announce it!"
Soon, a competition match was posted on the notice board of the east stands. Li Xuanba vs. Zhang Xuan and Yuwen Chengdu vs. Pei Xingyan. There were shouts all around the military camp, and the shouts were shaking the earth.
Chapter completed!
