Chapter 023
Hu Lai snorted, disdained to answer, and could not answer.
There is a ritual for the duel. The initiator of the duel should arrive first, and the person who agreed to the appointment will arrive later. Now Liang Xiao arrives first, and he is rude. Although this is not his original intention, it cannot be explained.
In the eyes of adults, they are all half-grown children and tricks, but because of this, they pay special attention to etiquette and try their best to act like a real warrior and ranger. They are very frustrated towards this "being rude" and their faces are even more red, and their momentum is invisibly frustrated.
"Since it's a one-on-one fight, of course it's fair. You have set the time and place, and I'll choose a way to fight, right?"
Hu Lai looked around and saw a thick boy with a swollen face standing under the tree, holding a crossbow in his hand. Judging from his body shape, he looked a bit like Liang Xiao's best friend, Tu Niuer.
Hu Lai was secretly happy.
Among the young men in Guangling City, Liang Xiao's shooting skills are only a handful. If Liang Xiao was asked to choose the duel method, he would naturally choose to shoot archery.
According to the rules of duel, he set the time and place. Liang Xiao is indeed qualified to choose the way of duel. Unless he thinks he is defeated, he can choose another method. He will not accept it without a fight.
This should be Liang Xiao's wishful thinking. However, if Liang Xiao thought he could win this way, he would have been wrong.
Hu Lai picked the corners of his mouth slightly and said deliberately in a not very confident tone: "How do you... want to fight?"
"The entire Jiangdu Kingdom knows that you are the first in the first place in the Hu Laijiao, and I want to go to your Jiaojiao."
After Liang Xiao said something, everyone was upset.
Although Hu Lai's jiaobi is not the best in Jiangdu country as Liang Xiao said, he is also a real expert. jiaobi is a common bare-hand fighting technique, and many people will try it twice. However, popularization does not mean that it is not difficult. A real jiaobi master is not so easy to practice.
To become a master of a corner, you must first have a strong body. If you lack strength, it will be difficult to use any good skills. You also need to have expert guidance. Whether it is training or actual combat, there are always some secret techniques that ordinary people cannot know.
Hu Lai has both these conditions. The Hu family is a famous tycoon in Guangling. Hu Lai grew up eating three meals since childhood. He has a good physique and is definitely not comparable to an ordinary child who can only eat two meals a day. The Hu family is rich, and has many swordsmen who depend on the Hu family. He also has some masters of horns and horns. He has practiced horns and horns since childhood. He has solid basic skills and rich practical experience.
Hu Lai's reputation among the young man was made by himself, and it was not entirely based on the power of the Hu family.
On the other hand, Liang Xiao, compared with his peers, Liang Xiao's body is also quite strong, but slightly inferior to Hu Lai. In terms of horn-to-reach skills, it is even worse. When young people gather in battle, Liang Xiao always attacks from a distance with crossbows. Once they are approached, they can only rely on the protection of Tu Niuer.
He competed with Hu Lai? This is not a death sentence.
Many people doubted that this was not a game that Hu Lai did himself, asking Liang Xiao to act in a play and make himself famous, right?
The young man in brocade looked at the reaction of the boys and seemed to understand something. His body leaned back slightly, but his eyes were staring at Liang Xiao, his eyes full of curiosity. A young man stepped forward half a step, bowed slightly, and said something softly. His sharp eyes swept across Liang Xiao, as if he was a little surprised.
Hu Lai was more surprised than anyone else and forgot to refute for a moment. The young archer beside him stabbed him twice, but he didn't take the blame.
Liang Xiao stood at a high place and saw the archer's small movements in his eyes. He secretly became suspicious. Without waiting for Hu Lai to react, he sang: "Since you don't object, then come up."
"Go up... go up?" Hu Lai was stunned.
"Of course. The terrain here is high, and the outcome is clear at a glance, so that no one will lose or refuse to admit it." Liang Xiao smiled and said, "The corner is heaviest and the lower plate is stable. You are a real master. You won't be unable to stand firm on the tree, right?"
Hu Lai was a little hesitant, but after hearing Liang Xiao's words, he was immediately angry. In front of so many people, he made him admit that he was unstable and did not dare to respond. He sneered, activated his mount, and rushed towards the big tree. Seeing that the white horse was about to rush to the grave, he jumped off the horse's back, stepped on the grave, jumped high, grabbed the trunk, swung twice, turned over and jumped on the big tree, and stood steadily on the branch.
This trick was very beautiful, and even those who had a bad impression of him had to shout. When the boy in brocade clothes saw it, his eyes lit up and shouted. Hu Lai was even more proud, and he looked around with his fists and greeted him frequently, with the momentum of the protagonist appearing and the stars holding the moon.
Liang Xiao clapped his hands and smiled: "Good skills, good skills, and he deserves to be the number one master in Jiangdu."
"Don't do this." Hu Lai was proud, but he tried his best to calm down on his face. "I'm here, you can start."
"Of course." Liang Xiao opened his arms. "I'm standing here, you can come over at any time. However, I can remind you that it is at least two feet above the ground. Even if you can't die from falling, it will be ugly."
Hu Lai shouted: "Don't worry, even if someone falls down, it's you, not me."
"Is that true? Not necessarily." Liang Xiao looked down and glanced at Hu Lai proudly. Hu Lai looked down unconsciously, his face changed suddenly and his legs became a little weak.
Before climbing the tree, he didn't think the tree was so tall. Now that he was standing on it, he felt completely different.
Whether it is practice or actual combat, I will choose a spacious and flat place without the reason to choose a tree. Hu Laijiao has a lot of experience, but it is the big girl who goes out on the tree - the first time. In a trance, she actually felt dizzy, which he had never expected before, and she didn't even realize that the height that Liang Xiao said was exaggerated, far exceeding the actual height.
Hu Lai felt like he was deceived and extremely depressed. He opened his arms, maintained balance, squatted slightly, lowered his center of gravity, slid back half a step, leaned against the tree trunk, stared at Liang Xiao fiercely, and cursed with gritted teeth: "Crazy villain, shameless."
Liang Xiao disagreed. He split his legs slightly, stood on two thick branches, and deliberately rubbed his hands to make his body shake.
"Come on, don't be embarrassed. It's getting late, and we have to rush back to the city after the outcome is decided. Your Hu family is in great power and can ignore the ban. We ordinary people don't have this treatment. If we close the city gate, we have to spend the night here."
Liang Xiao's voice was not small, and the young men around him were a little unhappy when they heard it. Because Hu Lai was late, he delayed a lot of time. If he delayed it, he would not think about returning to the city today. If everyone could not return to the city, it would be fine, and it would be common to not go home at night. But Hu Lai was powerful and powerful and was not restricted by the ban, so he was divided into different levels. When the young men heard it, they would inevitably feel a little resentful and their words became unpleasant.
"Wu Lai, hurry up and take action. After the winner is decided, we can go back to the city."
"Is it true that the downward plate is unstable and I dare not move after I climb the tree, right?"
"Bah, it turns out to be a decoration, so I can't take it seriously."
Liang Xiao's words brought a lot of hatred to Hu Lai, and all kinds of cold words shot towards Hu Lai like a hidden arrow. Hu Lai was upset when he heard it, and roared and rushed towards Liang Xiao.
