"You two are dueling? Ah, there's a show to watch!" Ding Kui squeezed Ruan Xingzhu's hand, "Tell those two lazy guys to come out and watch."
It was easy for the Forbidden Magician to summon people. He went down to the cabin with his spiritual power and quickly scanned the ship a few times. Ao Yu and Shi Jiang immediately rushed onto the deck.
"Are they competing? It's just a fight between slightly larger ants, which affects my rest." Ao Yu was very disdainful when he heard this.
"Hahaha!" Shi Jiang patted Liangchong on the shoulder, "You are a very brave knight, choosing such a place to compete with the warriors. Can you place a bet? I will go all-in on Dingji."
The space on the ship is only so big, and the space for maneuvering is very limited, which is a disadvantage for knights who are good at mid-range combat.
The navy is mostly composed of samurai and archers. Except for a few officers who failed very badly and are knights, there are basically no knights on the warships.
Ding Kui looked at Liang Chong's expectant eyes, curled his lips, and said, "I am against all gambling! No, if everyone favors Ding Ji, it's not gambling. It's a robbery of money."
Liang Chong said angrily: "What do you mean? You all underestimate me. Although I rarely go to the battlefield, I spend a lot of time practicing every day. I am not as weak as you think! And he can't destroy the facilities on the ship. I may not be able to do it." Chance."
After all, Ding Ji is a late-stage general-killing samurai, and at least Gao Liang has rushed to a lower level. He cannot choose to compete equally, so he proposed that if he destroys the facilities on the ship during the competition, he will lose.
His usual weapon is a pair of giant tiger-head hooks, which are about one meter and two meters long. If you are not careful, it can easily hit things on the deck.
"Sigh." Ding Kui shook his head, "Those who use hooks are the best at keeping their hands strong. Let alone on the deck, if I hit you in the cabin, it won't damage anything nearby."
This is the difference between those who fight frequently and those who just immerse themselves in training. There is a huge difference in experience against the enemy.
"Don't be like this, we haven't started competing yet." Ruan Xingzhu was not experienced enough to see the difference between Liang Chong and Ding Ji, so he was the most interested bystander.
The result was as expected by most people, Liang Chong was defeated, and the defeat was clean and tidy. Within ten moves, the sword was locked with double hooks.
Although he let go of his sword and jumped onto the mast, preparing to fight, Ding Kui stopped the contest and said, "If you lose your weapon, you lose! You pick up the things on the boat and continue to fight. Is it okay if they don't damage it?"
Ding Ji opened his mouth and then closed it, almost saying: "It's okay, I can take it with my bare hands." He thought of saving some face for others, so he suppressed it in time.
"Is the swordsman so strong?" Liang Chong thought back to the few moves he had just made and found that he couldn't dodge them no matter what.
Ding Ji chuckled.
"It's because you are too weak!" Ding Kui said mercilessly, "You should have jumped on the mast from the beginning and struck down with a condescending blow. I think it would have delayed the attack for a while."
"Five moves." General Shi stretched out a hand, "This way you can sustain five more moves. If you hold a few golden needles in your mouth and spray them out unexpectedly, there is no chance of turning defeat into victory."
Ding Ji's expression changed after hearing this, it was so sinister! He consciously moved a few steps away from General Shi.
"No!" Ao Yu couldn't help but interrupt, "It takes practice to spit out golden needles. If you want to hurt a swordsman, you have to practice hard for at least twenty years. He can't do it."
This time it was Shi Jiang's turn to move a few steps away from Ao Yu. He remembered the competition when they first met. His hidden weapon skills were completely defeated by Ao Yu. It would have been more embarrassing than that.
Liang Chong was extremely depressed.
"Okay! Go to the flat ground and mount your war horse. In an open place, you and Ding Ji are competing. As long as you keep avoiding him, it will be difficult for him to win against you." Ding Kui comforted the loser.
But his words were even more shocking, "Don't I have a chance to win?" Liang Chong screamed.
"Strength is not on the same level, just like me and Brother Yu, we can beat him casually." Ding Kui started to babble.
"Hahaha!" Ao Yu laughed angrily, "Can you win here? I'll twist off my head and give it to you."
"I'm optimistic about you, sir. If you don't believe me, give it a try!" Shi Jiang quickly retreated to the side of the boat. He was so excited to watch the excitement that he didn't mind the trouble, and kept provoking Ding Kui and Ao Yu to take action.
"I am the chief envoy. Of course I have reservations here. Not convinced? Let's fight another day."
"You two brothers, don't quarrel at every turn. You are already abroad. Please unite." Ruan Xingzhu immediately inserted himself between Ding Kui and Ao Yu, separated them, raised his hand and threw two restraint techniques to tie them up. feet.
She knew that Ding Kui couldn't use magic in public, but she didn't know that the two men fought with all their strength in private. When Ao Yu started to attack, Ding Kui had to retreat.
This was just a farce during the trip. As the chief envoy to Cao State, Ding Kui could not do anything in front of the Cao people. Except for the six of them, the rest on the ship were all Cao people.
Cao Guo's courtesy boat sailed very fast, departing in the morning and arriving on the other side before sunset.
The welcoming envoy stayed in his own country and did not go to Shuanglong City with the ship. He waited at the dock. When he saw Ding Kui getting off the boat, he immediately stepped forward to salute and asked the bearers to carry the six people out of the dock, and then waited for the gorgeous carriage.
Ruan Xingzhu's status was special. Cao Guo Magic Association had greeted the greeter and allowed him to ride in the same carriage as Ding Kui, while the other four people had to get into the second carriage.
"This car is very big, why don't you call them over?" Ruan Xingzhu was riding in such a luxurious carriage for the first time.
"International etiquette." Ding Kui smiled and said, "My rank is equivalent to that of Prince Cao, and you represent the vice president of the Magic Association and the chief minister of the Shaodian royal family. Your status is no less than mine, so you can naturally ride in this prince-level car. The carriage is of the same level as others, so we can’t force it.”
He can be casual with everyone at home, but he cannot ask other countries to do the same when he goes out. Cao State does not have a welcoming envoy like Feng Run, so everything is very particular.
"Aren't you afraid of embarrassing us by arranging a man and a woman to sit in the same car together?" Ruan Xingzhu said, being a bit thin-skinned in front of outsiders.
"The problem is that you came with me, and you are happily pretending to be confused. Do you want the Cao Kingdom Magic Association to send a carriage to pick you up?"
Ding Kui didn't understand this a few years ago. After taking his wife as a prisoner, he gradually came into contact with the etiquette of many upper-class nobles and naturally integrated into the circle of upper-class nobles.
The soundproofing of the carriage was very good. You could barely hear the sound of the groom driving the carriage inside, and you couldn't hear the movement in the carriage outside. Ruan Xingzhu's embarrassment quickly disappeared, "Cao Guo's welcome envoy was incompetent and did not arrange any young and beautiful maids." , I want to praise my sisters-in-law when I get back." She was still in the mood to joke.
"You! Alas, you did work. With a beautiful magician as my companion, how can anyone dare to arrange a maid for me? Although I didn't have such thoughts, I feel that I was at a disadvantage and did not get the service I deserved." Ding Kui really said When you come to travel by yourself.
"I'll write this down, it's worth at least fifty gold." Ruan Xingzhu pretended to rub his thumb and index finger together.
Ding Kui twisted his nose in anger, but then he smiled evilly and said: "If you want five hundred gold, five thousand gold is fine, I'll give it to you!"
