The Old Marquis was overjoyed and revealed a smile.
“I knew it. Cheng’er won’t lose!”
Qin Canglan muttered, “Then why did you adopt Fifth Brother to Cheng’er…”
The Old Marquis coughed lightly. “Didn’t Cheng’er faint? You didn’t object! ”
The two elders saw Su Cheng’s improvement.
However, it was still a little difficult to win against Qin Jiang.
Su Cheng’s performance today was extraordinary. It was as if there was a ball of fire in his heart that ignited an extraordinary fighting spirit.
Qin Jiang earnestly requested to change weapons.
Emperor Jing Xuan approved.
“I’m going to the toilet,” Qin Jiang said to the eunuch guarding the arena.
Su Cheng placed the saber on his shoulder and sneered in disdain, “You cowards have too much sh*t and urine!”
Qin Jiang was dumbfounded.
Qin Jiang went to the toilet, and Su Cheng couldn’t just stand there alone on the tournament stage. He jumped down with his saber and walked in front of Su Xiaoxiao. He asked as if he was showing off, “How was my fight?”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him with clear eyes. “Father is very powerful.”
Heh, a compliment from his daughter was better than a hundred compliments from others!
Su Cheng was filled with fighting spirit again!
Xu Qing followed Qin Jiang to the toilet.
After confirming that there was no one around,
Qin Jiang frowned and said, “It’s useless to stimulate Su Cheng’s memory! When you fought with Su Cheng that day, did he also use such strength?” “Yes,” Xu Qing said.
Qin Jiang said coldly, “Why didn’t you say so earlier? I could have strengthened my defenses!”
Xu Qing said, “I thought Old Master could tell.”
Qin Jiang was speechless.
In terms of martial arts attainments, he was inferior to Xu Qing. Xu Qing could tell what he might not be able to.
But he couldn’t admit it either, could he?
“One more match,” Qin Jiang said.
Two out of three rounds. They each won one round. The third round was the key.
“Master.” Xu Qing took out a thumb ring from his pocket and handed it to him.
Puzzled, Qin Jiang asked, “This is…”
Xu Qing put the ring on his thumb and pressed his index finger against it.
Swoosh!
A silver needle shot out and nailed into the tree in front of him!
Xu Qing took off the thumb ring. “There are two silver needles left inside.”
Qin Jiang frowned. “You want me to use a hidden weapon on Su Cheng during the martial arts competition?”
Xu Qing said, “They did not say you’re not allowed to use it.”
Qin Jiang hesitated. “This…”
Xu Qing explained, “This hidden weapon is non-poisonous. It’s just applied with a little substance that can instantly make the other party lose his strength. In addition, it can penetrate armor.” Qin Jiang asked again, “Will it be an unfair victory?”
Xu Qing said, “Winner takes all.”
That was true. Compared to an unfair victory, losing to Su Cheng was the most humiliating.
Qin Jiang took the jade thumb ring and put it on his left thumb.
After Qin Jiang returned from the toilet, he went straight to the tournament stage.
Su Cheng also planned to go over.
Su Xiaoxiao paused and stopped him, “Father…”
A few minutes later, the gong rang, and the third round of the competition officially began.
This time, Qin Jiang did not use a spear, but a sword.
He realized that Su Cheng was good at close combat, and his spear did not have the advantage in a face-to-face battle. His long sword was more suitable for restraining Su Cheng’s large saber.
Qin Jiang’s spear technique was taught by Qin Canglan, and his master for swordsmanship was the Old Marquis.
With Qin Jiang’s physique, he was more suitable to wield a light longsword.
In the second round, he did not use a long sword. Firstly, he felt that he did not need it. Secondly, he hoped to use the martial arts that Qin Canglan had taught him to defeat Su Cheng.
Unfortunately, he had miscalculated.
Unfortunately, he had miscalculated.
Qin Jiang looked at Su Cheng coldly. “I won’t give you any more chances in thi:
round.”
Su Cheng said arrogantly, “Do I need you to give me a chance? Have you forgotten who kicked you down?”
Qin Jiang’s face darkened.
The corners of Wei Ting’s lips curled up imperceptibly as he continued to sip his tea.
Xiao Duye asked with a faint smile, “Lord Wei, who do you think will win this round?”
Wei Ting said indifferently, “What do you think, Your Highness?”
Xiao Duye smiled and said, “As for me, I feel that the two of them have a fifty-fifty chance of winning. Su Cheng’s talent is obviously stronger than Qin Jiang’s. Unfortunately, he was delayed for thirty years in the countryside. The gap between him and Qin Jiang can’t be made up in a short month.” Wei Ting said, “Your Highness, let’s make a bet. Su Cheng will win.”
Xiao Duye said in amusement, “Bet?”
Wei Ting said seriously, “Five thousand taels.”
Xiao Duye smiled faintly and said, “Let me make it clear first. I don’t entertain any credit here. If you want to bet, take out the banknotes first.”
Wei Ting paused and turned to the side. Without changing his expression, he said, “Your Highness, can I borrow some silver to spend?”
Xiao Zhonghua was speechless.
The gong sounded, and the third round began.
After the previous round, no one dared to say that Qin Jiang was going easy on Su Cheng..
