Chapter 680: Confrontation with the Western Barbarians
After a while, several big men on horseback came from the opposite direction. They had long hair and wore robes made of animal skins with shiny decorations hung on their clothes.
Seeing Fang Qing and his group, he raised his whip and cracked it in the air.
Fang Qing clasped his fists towards them and got off his horse.
The man in the lead had his right arm bare and his beard was connected to his body hair. He looked like a big hairy bear, strong, muscular, fierce and powerful.
The man also clasped his fists towards Fang Qing and dismounted from his horse.
The two followers over there put a two-meter-wide board on the trench.
The guards on both sides took a few steps back.
Mao Hanzi said to Fang Qing: "Let's compete on the board. Whoever crosses the line or falls into the trench will lose."
Fang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the competition was not on horseback.
Although he had practiced riding and archery for many years, there was still a big gap between him and the Western barbarians who had lived on horseback since childhood.
There was no fear on his face, and he looked solemn and dignified.
He is not only Fang Qing now, he now represents the Great Northern Dynasty.
The momentum cannot be lost.
He turned around and bowed deeply in the direction of the capital, and solemnly promised the emperor in his heart:
I, Fang Qing, will fight the Western Barbarians to decide the outcome. I will protect the Western border with all my heart, even if my head is cut off and my blood is shed!
He threw off his robe, drew his sword and stood at one end of the board.
Over there, the Western Barbarian leader snapped his wrists, lashed out with the whip, and waved it above his head a few times. The cold wind blew his dry hair, and the wooden boards creaked under his big feet.
Ji Xiaobei secretly broke into a cold sweat. The barbarian was much taller than Fang Qing and a lot fatter.
Suddenly, the barbarian leader laughed and said, "General Fang, why don't we change the rules temporarily and let our men compete first. Maybe my men can defeat you, and I won't have to do anything..."
He looked down at Fang Qing with contempt.
Fang Qing's back teeth were clattering.
Didn’t they agree that they would compete against each other?
The rules were changed temporarily, and the barbarians’ words really cannot be trusted.
Although he was angry in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.
Fang Qing once again showed the demeanor of a great country, and said expressionlessly: "It's up to you, my Lord!"
The barbarian laughed loudly, with a fierce light flashing in his big eyes.
He not only wants to defeat Fang Qing, but also wants to ridicule Fang Qing. Is the Great Northern Dynasty just like this?
It is said that Fang Qing is an upright person, brave and good at fighting, so let's compete with him today!
The barbarian leader looked down at Fang Qing and said, "General Fang Qing always keeps his word. I admire you. Don't worry, General Fang. I heard that your daughter is as beautiful as a fairy. If she follows me to be the leader's wife, I will not treat her badly..."
Fang Qing was furious when he heard this. He clenched his fists and said, "I never agreed to this bet... Why should we involve women in the harem when two countries are at war? Don't you agree, Chief Tuomu?"
The anger in Fang Qing's eyes was chilling.
In the past few years, Tumu, as the leader, often led his people to harass the people of the Great Northern Dynasty on the border, but they did not dare to invade on a large scale.
Fang Qing is not just a name.
The last time they attacked his military camp, several of his men died, which made Tuomu very sad.
So he decided not to confront it head-on and instead adopted a roundabout tactic.
"Hahaha, wait a few years, when I have built a foundation, I will marry your daughter!" Tuomu laughed again, but his smile seemed to hide a knife, scraping Fang Qing's face.
Fang Qing was so furious that his fingers were clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound.
"Chief Tumu, how do you compete?" Fang Qing didn't want to waste time with him.
"One person from each side, Aqingmu, you go!" He waved his arm at the person behind him.
A young man as strong as a calf walked out from behind him, with silver ribbons hanging from his long hair illuminating his dark face.
Fang Qing glanced at a guard behind him.
The guard understood what he meant, took a step forward with his knife in hand, and glared at the young man named Aqingmu.
A Qingmu used a stick and the guard used a knife, and the two men fought in a group.
Ji Xiaobei watched Aqingmu's every move and seemed to be constantly adjusting the guards.
After a while, the guards were exhausted.
A Qingmu roared towards the sky and swung his stick around the guard's head countless times.
Everyone behind Fang Qing held their breath and looked at the guards worriedly.
The guard felt dizzy and was hit on the calf by Aqingmu's stick without paying attention.
The guard screamed and almost fell to the ground.
Aqingmu's big stick came down from the sky. At the critical moment, Fang Qing was about to speak when he saw a hard object with a gust of wind hitting Aqingmu's wrist.
A Qingmu cried out, his hand shook, and the stick missed the target. It fell to the ground, making a hole.
Everyone looked in the direction where the thing flew from.
Ji Xiaobei looked sternly as he looked at Aqingmu who was holding his wrist.
A Qingmu's face turned pale with anger, and he stared at Ji Xiaobei with bloodshot eyes.
Fang Qing stood beside Ji Xiaobei and said sternly, "We agreed not to hurt anyone. Didn't Chief Tuomu tell his men?"
Tuo Mu said with a smile: "How can a martial artist control himself so well? He wasn't injured, was he?"
"Chief Tumu, Aqingmu used underhanded tactics!" Ji Xiaobei's tone was chilling.
She could accept her guards losing, but she couldn't let anyone scheme against her.
Fang Qing was stunned for a moment. He didn't see what was going on. He just felt that Aqing's wooden stick skills were extraordinary and so fast that it was dazzling.
Tom's face suddenly turned cold.
Ji Xiaobei ignored him and bowed to Fang Qingyi and said, "General Fang, there is something on his stick!"
The deputy general and lieutenant general behind Fang Qing looked at Ji Xiaobei in confusion, with some disdain in their eyes.
Fang Qing suppressed the doubts in his heart: "Master Ji, why don't you just speak frankly!"
When Aqingmu was fighting with the guards, he noticed a sharp gaze staring at his back.
It was as if she could see through every move he made.
Few people could dodge his stick, let alone see through its power.
He sneered and said, "Sir, don't say anything nonsense, be careful that you can't take it back once you say it."
A Qingmu pounded the stick in his hand into the ground and stared at Ji Xiaobei with a ferocious look.
Fang Qing was in a state of confusion. She wanted to believe Ji Xiaobei, but she was also afraid that this girl was unreliable.
He glanced at Ji Xiaobei. The girl had a calm and composed expression, and looked at Tuomu without any fear.
Fang Qing gritted his teeth and decided to trust Ji Xiaobei once.
He took a big step forward, and said with a stern look and a firm tone: "Chief Tuomu, your men used hidden weapons, so we don't have to compete in this competition."
Let's go.
Tom yelled, "You're lying!"
Ji Xiaobei took a big step forward and stood in front of Aqing in an extremely oppressive manner.
A Qingmu, who was half a head taller than Ji Xiaobei, seemed a little nervous.
"There is a mechanism on your stick, which contains Datura pollen. During a fight, you press the mechanism and the pollen falls into your opponent's face and eyes, causing dizziness. You then take advantage of the opportunity to gain the upper hand."
A Qingmu was stabbed and was so angry that he was breathing heavily with his nostrils pointed towards the sky.
Tuomu looked at Aqingmu doubtfully.
The panic in Aqingmu's eyes did not escape Tuomu's attention.
The purpose of Tuomu's visit this time is to humiliate Fang Qing, to defeat Fang Qing, and to get Fang Qing's daughter.
