Chapter 72 The quarterfinals
Due to the unhealed injury, Bai Yuru's face was still a little pale and she appeared to be in low spirits. However, it showed the beauty of a soft willow supporting the wind, which made people feel affectionate. Seeing this, Luo Tianbao hurriedly said: "Miss Bai, you
Why are you here too?"
"We tried to persuade her not to come, but this girl just refused to agree." Zhuge Bai couldn't help but smile bitterly at this time.
"Do you still want me to stand by and watch such a big event?" Bai Yuru couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Although she tried her best to hide it, her smile still showed obvious fatigue.
After everyone chatted with Luo Tianbao, they learned that Bai Yuru and some other contestants had been with Zhuge Bai and others from the beginning. They participated in the competition to rescue the captured loyal ministers and martyrs. Although this was somewhat unexpected to Luo Tianbao
It was unexpected, but it was also reasonable. This also explained why these people who were originally indifferent to fame and wealth and were at odds with the rebels came to compete this time. When Luo Tianbao said this, he suddenly thought of another person.
"Is it possible that Lu Fengming is also in your group?"
"He is not. In fact, we tried to invite him to join us before, but he refused. He seems to have his own things to do, but he promised not to interfere with our affairs and will provide help when necessary."
Luo Tianbao nodded after hearing this. He felt that this really looked like Lu Fengming's style. This person always gave people the impression that he was like a dragon that never saw its end, but what was he planning? Luo Tianbao felt that this selection was better than expected.
Even more complicated.
Afterwards, everyone briefly talked about the cooperation plan. Zhuge Bai and others wanted Luo Tianbao to use the relationship between the Langya Army and their father and son to help everyone spy on the news and facilitate the next specific rescue. Luo Tianbao was one by one.
He agreed, and before he knew it, it was already five o'clock in the morning, and some early-rising pedestrians could already be seen on the street. In order to avoid exposing everyone, they parted ways and said goodbye. Zhuge Bai left an address for Luo Tianbao and others, which was a private house in the south of the city.
, there is a secret stronghold for everyone. If there is any emergency, Luo Tianbao can go there to get in touch with everyone.
After finishing these tasks, Ji and the others left the abandoned house and met up with Ding Xie, Ai Sisi and others who had been waiting for a long time. Everyone went back to the Jixiang Inn and Luo Tianbao introduced what happened tonight. Ding Xie was a little surprised after hearing this.
He didn't express any further opinions, but Ai Sisi frowned upon hearing this.
"Sisi, do you think there's something wrong with this?" Luo Tianbao couldn't help but ask.
"No, I'm just a servant. How dare I make irresponsible remarks on your actions, young master?"
"What's that? I've said before that although we are called masters and servants, we are actually friends. If you think there's anything wrong, just say it. Maybe you can help me?"
"Actually, it's nothing. It's a good thing to rescue those loyal ministers and righteous men, but if the news leaks out, the rebels will definitely not let us go. I'm actually worried about this."
Luo Tianbao nodded after hearing this: "What you said is true. This matter is really risky. Logically speaking, this has nothing to do with our Jindou Fort. We can't get ourselves into trouble. But it's rare for Zhuge Bai and the others to be so chivalrous. It would be unavoidable for us to just sit back and ignore it."
It has chilled the hearts of the righteous people in the world, and the reputation of our Jindoubao is not good. Moreover, if we really rescue those people, it will be regarded as a favor we sold to the imperial court. It is difficult to predict the general situation of the world at the moment, so there is always a way out for us.
That's right.'
Ai Si Si heard this and nodded: "As expected of the young master, he is thinking about the longer term than us. But Si Si, I am still a little worried. Now that we are in the territory of the rebels, if the news is leaked, it will be said that they are worried about the castle master.
They won’t do anything to us, but even if they detain us, things won’t be easy to handle.”
"You have your say, but how can you do anything in the world without taking any risks? Besides, I have already promised Brother Zhuge and the others, and now it is too late to back down."
"Young Master, that's what I think. Now it's a done deal and we can't change it, but we can still make some changes."
"What workaround?"
"Zhuge Bai asked us to spy on the news. We can help with this. But at the same time, we can also take the opportunity to spy on their affairs. If the situation changes in the future, if we give these to the rebels, it will be considered as a crime and meritorious service for us, right?"
"Hey, can't you see that Sisi, you are quite naughty?"
"Young Master, please don't get me wrong. Sisi, I have always been loyal to you and the castle master. These little tricks are used to deal with outsiders." Ai Sisi suddenly said nervously after hearing this.
Luo Tianbao smiled when he saw this: "Don't worry, I know you are doing it for everyone's good. Anyway, my second senior brother and I will consider this matter carefully."
Everyone talked all the way back to Jixiang Old Inn. In order to avoid attracting attention, they did not go through the main entrance. Instead, they climbed over the wall into the inn and went back to their respective rooms to rest for a while. When it got light, they pretended to wash and eat as if nothing had happened, and then they
Rush to the ring to watch another day of competition.
As the competition became more and more exciting, the number of spectators increased, and many people even found business opportunities and started small businesses near the ring. It seemed so lively that people almost forgot that there was actually still a war in the world.
In the morning, the remaining matches of the top 16 were played, and there were basically no upsets. Lu Fengming, Zhuge Bai and other favorites all advanced smoothly, followed by the quarterfinals, Zhuge Bai, Tang Hao and others were all drawn.
It was a good draw, and he successfully defeated his opponent to advance to the semi-finals, but when he arrived at Lu Fengming's place, he encountered some twists and turns.
His opponent is a monk from Toluo named Zongwang. Despite his young age, he is a leader among the local younger generation. He also specially came to register for the competition this time. He also won consecutive battles in previous competitions.
Lian Jie, just because the opponents he defeated were not very strong, and the moves he showed were not special, so his reputation for winning the championship was not as good as that of Lu Fengming, Zhuge Bai and others.
Lu Fengming had always been calm and calm when dealing with others, and sometimes even seemed a little calm and relaxed. Now that he saw that his opponent was a monk, he was even more polite, and even said a few polite words to Zong Wang.
Zong Wang didn't know whether it was because he wasn't fluent in mainland Chinese or he had an arrogant temper. He seemed a little cold when Lu Fengming greeted him. The former didn't care about it and let Zong Wang take the lead. The latter was not polite and took action immediately, and the two of them started talking.
It's a fight in one place.
Since this is not the first time that these two people have appeared in the competition, the experts present have some understanding of their strength. It is said that Zong Wang's martial arts is indeed not bad, but it is still obviously inferior to Lu Fengming. Therefore,
Everyone was generally optimistic that the latter would win in this game, and the initial trend of the game seemed to confirm this. No matter how Zong Wang attacked, he didn't even touch a piece of Lu Fengming's clothes. As time went by, the former inevitably became a little impatient, and was defeated by Lu Fengming.
Seizing the flaw, he grabbed the collar of his monk's robe and threw him out.
Ordinarily, with Lu Fengming's strength, it would be easy to throw Zong Wang off the stage, but he is a monk after all, and he has a good heart, so he didn't do it so brilliantly. He just threw Zong Wang away and staggered all the way, and finally managed to stand still.
Chapter completed!
