Su Jin had no choice but to select strong men with big shoulders and round waists among his entourage. Except for Wang Chao and other four people, the other six people didn't know the details and secretly complained in their hearts.
Chao Chao and the other four people should not make any mistakes. Now they can only hope that the six selected Song soldiers can win even one game, or at least it will be a draw.
However, when the ten people selected by the Liao people came on stage, Su Jin's heart dropped; these ten people came out of the hall at the back, and it was obvious that they were different from those standing guard in front.
The Liao soldiers were not one group.
These ten people are all tall and burly, a full head taller than the others. Each of them is half-shirted, with a leather jacket slung across his body. Their arms are all bulging muscles. They have bald heads and no hats, and have 4-5 hairdos
His little braid was hanging back and forth, he frowned, kicked his legs and fisted, and stood on the court. Suddenly everyone in the Song Dynasty was speechless and silent.
"Haha, little baby, these are the ten personal guards under my envoy's account. They are not invited from outside. These are the ten tigers of the Xiao family, the warriors of my Daliao warriors. Dahu led the team to the deputy envoy of the baby.
Meeting with the rich owner’s envoy.”
The Ten Tigers of the Xiao clan stepped forward with majestic strides. The ground shook with every step they took. When they came closer, they cupped their hands towards Su Jin and Fu Bi, and said in unison: "Aba coax."
Su Jin couldn't help but laugh and said: "Why do you call us dad when you come up? I can't afford it at this age."
Xiao Temo said angrily: "Little dolls are taking advantage. Aba coaxing means giving in. Little dolls don't understand anything. Look, you have pissed them off."
Although the ten tigers of the Xiao family are not fluent in Chinese, they can understand it. At this moment, they all glared angrily and bared their teeth at Su Jin.
Ma Han stared at him and said, "What are you looking at? Is it a big deal to have a body full of flesh?"
The one with the red ribbon on his pigtails was Xiao Dahu. Hearing this, he pointed at Ma Han and said, "You're dead."
Mahan laughed loudly and said: "Dead, me? Dead, you."
Xiao's Ten Tigers were furious and roared loudly. Xiao Temo shouted, and they reluctantly retreated.
Xiao Temo chuckled and said: "Little boy, don't blame me for not reminding you that these ten tigers under my account are warriors who can defeat a hundred with one against a hundred. They are capable of killing tigers and splitting leopards with their bare hands. Before the fight, provoke
They are really unwise; it's not too late for you to admit defeat now, otherwise someone will have broken bones and muscles, which will not be pretty."
Just as Su Jin was about to answer, Liu Liufu said angrily: "Mr. Xiao, how could Deputy Ambassador Su admit defeat? Wouldn't that be a disgrace to the Song Dynasty? I heard that there is a saying in the Song Dynasty: 'Advance despite difficulties'
’ There is also a saying that goes, ‘Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, you will go to the Tiger Mountains’; Deputy Ambassador Su must have braved the difficulties.”
Xiao Temo laughed and said: "That's right, that's not courageous, that's stupid!"
Su Jin let the two of them laugh wildly and said: "You two are very happy, right? You are sure to win even before the competition, right? This Deputy Liu seems to know our Song Dynasty quite well, and I am not from Song Dynasty.
Is there anything worth laughing at about taking refuge in a foreign race and becoming a slave?”
Liu Liufu said angrily: "I grew up in the Liao Kingdom for generations. Daliao is my homeland. I am not seeking refuge with a foreign race. You don't need to sneer at me; besides, I have already been blessed by the Holy Lord."
Yelu's surname is an authentic Daliao native."
Su Jin smiled and said: "I see, but I still recommend that you keep your surname Liu. I don't think the surname 'Wild Donkey' is a good one."
Everyone in the Song Dynasty burst into laughter. Yelu was called a wild donkey. It had been rumored among the people for a long time. But the deputy envoy Su openly ridiculed the name of the Liao Kingdom in front of the envoys of the two countries. This was too courageous. There are prudent people.
I was secretly worried that the other party was very powerful. Deputy Ambassador Su was teasing him like this without knowing how powerful it was. The future was worrying.
Xiao Temo was really angry. The Khitan clan was dominated by the surnames Yelu and Xiao. Yelu was generally the 'Huang' surname, and Xiao Nai was the 'Queen' surname. These two surnames were symbols of great respect. At this moment, Su Jin scooped them up.
Why don't you make Xiao Tejiao proud if he is so unbearable for teasing you?
"Don't hold back in the martial arts competition later. If you don't kill them, you will cripple a few of them." Xiao Temo said coldly in Khitan.
The ten tigers of the Xiao family agreed in unison, and immediately kicked their legs and turned their arms to warm up on the field.
The ten people selected by Su Jinming also went to say hello to the Liao envoys. When they came back, they cheered and said: "In today's battle, the winner will be rewarded fifty taels of silver, and the loser will be rewarded twenty taels of silver as long as he tries his best. If you are afraid,
Speak now to exit; get on the field,
If he dares to fight cowardly, I will not spare him. After this competition, as long as our side of the Song Dynasty wins, I guarantee that your soldiers will be promoted to the capital, and you will be promoted to the commander. In short, everything is easy to say, whether you want to be a hero or a bear,
It's up to you."
At this time, Fu Bi could only cheer up and said: "Deputy Ambassador Su's words are my words. As long as we win, we will have made a great contribution to the Song Dynasty. Not only will we be promoted and make a fortune, I will definitely report to the emperor to summon you.
This is a great honor.”
Dynasty Mahan and the others naturally didn't care. The six selected soldiers were initially frightened when they saw the opponent's iron tower-like appearance. At this moment, after the two special envoys stepped in, their blood suddenly started to boil again, and they eagerly said:
"Don't worry, my lords. We will fight to the death with all our strength and live up to your expectations."
Fu Bi nodded with satisfaction and said, "I look forward to your wonderful performance."
Su Jin deliberately pulled the dynasty mahan Zhang Long and Zhao Hu aside and said: "Are you sure? This battle depends on the four of you. None of you four are allowed to lose. As long as the first six can win a round, we will fight
It’s a draw. If we win this time, I can ask the emperor to give the four of you a position and receive a salary, which can be regarded as becoming an official and honoring our ancestors. Otherwise, I won’t even have a chance to speak to the emperor."
Chao Chao cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you don't mean what you said. We brothers are not here to be officials. We have traveled all over the country with the young master and our life has not been boring at all. If you really make us officials, we will not be happy."
Ma Han and others repeatedly expressed their agreement, and Su Jin said with a smile: "It's just a matter of installing some kind of hussar guard. With your status as a general, I can't bear to let you go. In short, what I mean is that this competition is extremely important. You are all in high spirits."
Stay focused."
The four people agreed in succession and led everyone off the stage to exercise.
Twenty candidates who were about to compete stayed in the same venue to warm up, and they could immediately see the difference intuitively. The Xiao Clan's Ten Tigers from the Liao Kingdom were a whole head taller than the people from the Song Dynasty. They looked like ten tigers.
The giant was like ten dwarfs, and the thickness of his arms and thighs were completely out of proportion. Anyone could see that the Song Dynasty had no chance of winning in this contest.
Xiao Te grinned widely and shouted loudly, and the Liao soldiers around him also whistled and shouted, not taking the coming competition seriously at all. In their view, winning or losing can be known at a glance, and there is no need to
Worry.
"Get ready to start!" Liu Liufu shouted loudly. Two Liao soldiers carried a big drum and placed it on the side of the court. Two other soldiers brought a large gong and placed it on the other side.
Liu Liufu said loudly: "The competition between the two countries ends with the click, the drum begins, and the gong stops."
Xiao Temo shouted: "What's so wordy? Start quickly."
Liu Liufu rolled his eyes and said loudly: "The first competition begins."
The drums were beaten several times in a row, and with the sound of the drums, the ten tigers of the Xiao family came onto the stage with their chests and bellies folded, and with the harsh shouts and whistles, they bowed and then spread their legs.
Stand on the field.
A Forbidden Army soldier from the Song Dynasty tightened his belt around his waist and adjusted his armor. He stepped out, also held his hands in a circle, and stood ten steps away from Xiao Shihu, facing each other from a distance.
Su Jin slammed the table and shouted loudly to encourage the soldier. The Song soldiers behind him really had no reason to cheer. The two of them stood there with nothing to look at. They looked like a big bad wolf facing a small little one.
He was like a sheep; but since Deputy Su was clapping the table and applauding, they had to give him face, so they all clapped their hands listlessly a few times and settled the matter.
As soon as the drums stopped playing, the field fell silent for an instant. Hundreds of eyes stared intently at the two people on the field, their hearts beating rapidly.
Suddenly, the two people on the field started to take action. They saw Song Bing tiptoeing, his body bounced forward vigorously, and he quickly arrived in front of Xiao Shihu. The height of his leap was just the same as Xiao Shihu's; he was still in the air.
At that moment, the soldier punched out and went straight into Xiao Shihu's eyes.
"What a good boy, you know how to hit the opponent's weak points." Su Jin praised.
The people behind him were also inspired by the soldier's wonderful performance and couldn't help but applaud.
However, the next moment, everyone shut up in unison. Some were unable to close their mouths in time and almost bit off their own tongues. They wanted to take back the word 'ok' they shouted but it was too late.
I saw that the Song Army soldier on the field was advancing faster and retreating even faster. Before I could see what was going on, his figure had already been thrown away and landed on the green brick ground two feet away with a 'splat' sound.
He fell to the point where he vomited blood and fell unconscious.
Xiao Shihu's raised foot had not yet been put down, he shook his head and cupped his hands and said: "Aba coax."
The gong sounded, and the first competition ended. No one expected that Xiao Shihu easily won the first victory for the Liao Kingdom with just one kick.
