The next day, the news was indeed received from Xiongnu that Modun Shanyu had agreed to Kaisar's request. In other words, Kaisar gained the power to challenge the Han court, and it depended on how the Han envoy would respond.
Jiang Kungming walked around the courtyard where the Caesarians lived, handed over a letter of challenge, indicating that the great Han men would never be afraid of challenges. However, his real purpose was to take this opportunity to meet with Caesar's leaders in a fair and square manner, then he raised several questions in an inducing way, and used his unique mind-reading ability to get the answers he wanted to know.
After returning, he immediately found Xu Haifeng and told him that everything was arranged properly, as long as he followed the plan, he would be able to achieve a great reputation for generations.
Xu Haifeng was helpless and could only let him have his way, but he scoffed at what he said about becoming famous all over the world after one battle.
Jiang Kongming was so angry that he rolled his eyes and asked: "Do you know how heroes are born?"
"Nonsense, of course the hero is... how was he born?" Xu Haifeng was about to answer, but felt that this question seemed a bit difficult, so he simply asked directly.
Jiang Kongming gently shook his feather fan and slowly said: "As the saying goes, 'the times create heroes', this hero, of course, was created by circumstances."
"What's going on?"
"It's not bad, creating heroes is mainly about advertising. As long as you advertise well, even a despicable person can become a household hero. For example, that Eurotec flooring, claiming to be one of Germany's top ten brands, deceived the world for ten years, but it turned out to be a counterfeit product. From this we can see, no matter what, as long as you blow it up to the sky and deceive people into going around in circles, then you've succeeded."
Xu Haifeng nodded as if he understood and asked: "What is Oujian floor?"
Jiang Kongming stared at him blankly for a while, then sighed and said: "Forget it, you won't understand even if I explain. I'll leave first."
Looking at his gloomy appearance, Xu Haifeng suddenly knew that he had thought of the world he came from. Every time this happened, it was when his emotions were at their lowest ebb, and it was best not to disturb him.
Three days later, Bao Bu Tong came to inform them that the martial arts arena had been built according to the requirements of the people from Jia and asked them to meet on the second day.
The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became tense, and Xu Haifeng was still nervous, but he didn't show it.
On the second day, a crowd of people gathered at the newly built arena in the suburbs.
It was called an arena, but in fact it was just a large circular field temporarily fenced with some fences. What caught the eye was that there was a huge tent at each of the east and west ends, and the two exits of this circular field were opened above these two tents.
These two tents are prepared for the two duelists, once they come out of the tent, it means entering a life-and-death arena, unless one side falls down, there is no way to exit.
The south pavilion was a temporary high platform, at this time Modu Chanyu and Hami Qi were inviting envoys from various countries to sit on the platform, preparing to watch the tiger fight.
Caesar's men were already prepared in the tent at the west end, and Adis was also dressed up, a standard knight sword shield inserted randomly on the ground, his eyes looked forward calmly, as if nothing in the world could disturb his mind.
Little Princess Liu Ting and Xia Yajun made their first public appearance, with a square scarf covering their faces, but the perfect outline was faintly visible. They sat in the special seat of the South Korean ambassador, becoming the most beautiful scenery line in the scene.
As the time was already late, but the big Han tent in the east was still quiet, until now no one came to respond. The Xiongnu civilians who wanted to watch the excitement were clamoring nonstop.
Little did he know that at this time in the account, Xu Haifeng's affairs had reached a critical juncture, and he actually began to learn from Jiang Kongming's example, haggling over prices.
"I'm saying, General, that this first battle shouldn't be led by me. Why not let Lin Changkong and the others go up and get some exercise?" said Xu Haifeng with a smile.
Jiang Kungming said angrily: "The earliest person sent by Caesar was only a second-rate master. After you go up, as long as you compare with that Adis in water-milling skills, you will definitely be able to win. Such a good opportunity, if missed, do you want to fight directly with their first-rate masters?"
Seeing Xu Haifeng still hesitating, he sighed and said: "Listen carefully, this Adis is a genuine knight. Once you go up there, as long as you do this and that... you will surely win. As for what to do afterwards, I'll let Lin Changkong inform you through a secret transmission method, so just go with ease."
Xu Haifeng thought for half a day and knew that he couldn't escape this calamity today. He gritted his teeth, walked to the entrance of the tent, stood still, took a deep breath, but still felt unwilling in his heart.
He was always being outsmarted by that crazy Jiang, how could he be willing? Just as he was about to turn his head and discuss with Jiang Kongming again, he suddenly felt a strong force coming from his buttocks, and his body involuntarily flew out.
Jiang Kongming, who was originally behind him, sensed the thoughts in his heart and kicked him out with a single kick on his buttocks.
Xu Haifeng certainly knew who was behind this good deed. Among the Blood Wine Warriors, apart from that rebellious Jiang Kongming, no one else dared to disobey his orders, let alone launch a sneak attack on him.
Fortunately, his martial arts skills were accomplished, while Jiang Kongming had no internal strength except for being slightly stronger. So when he was in mid-air, a swallow flipped over and performed a beautiful somersault in the air, landing steadily on the ground.
His performance was flashy, much more impressive than Adi's steady and calm demeanor, earning him a round of applause. However, to the discerning eyes of the older generation, he seemed too frivolous, and his finishing move looked hasty and awkward, making them doubt that he could be a match for the composed and steady Adi.
Xu Haifeng cursed Jiang Koming in his heart, but on the surface, he revealed a bright and cheerful smile. Under Jiang Koming's constant training, his acting skills had already reached a state of perfection.
"Brother Adi, all is well?" Xu Haifeng asked with a bow.
Adis picked up the sword and shield from the ground, holding the sword upright at his brow with his right hand, and was about to make a move when he suddenly heard him ask a question. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "General Xu, hello."
Xu Haifeng glanced at the sword and shield in his hand and said, "General Adis must have been born into a prestigious family, I wonder if my guess is correct?"
Adis sheathed his sword and stood up, without losing his elegant demeanor: "My family is one of the two oldest families of Caesar, how did you know?"
Xu Haifeng smiled mysteriously and didn't answer his question, instead saying: "According to the duel rules among knights in your country, if the loser survives, they will become a slave of the winner, but can be redeemed with a ransom that matches their status, right?"
Adis nodded in surprise: "I didn't expect General to know so much about our country's affairs. Indeed, we do have such a rule."
"That's it, I'd like to ask what General Adis is worth?" Xǔ Hǎifēng asked with a smile.
Adis asked in confusion: "Why are you asking this?"
Xu Haifeng burst out laughing: "Later, I will defeat General Adis, capture him alive, and won't that be enough to demand a ransom at this price?"
Adis's face gradually flushed with anger, and he shouted: "The duel hasn't started yet, how do you know I'm not as good as you?"
"Is that so? Then let's just drop it. Come on." Xu Haifeng stretched out his left index finger and kept curling it inward.
Since his birth, Adis had never been humiliated like this before. His strong anger clouded his mind, and he drew out his knight's sword to stab him in the chest.
On the viewing platform, Caesar's first master, Auben Master, frowned and said: "How can Adis still not change his stubborn temper? Once he is provoked, he forgets everything. This battle is in danger."
The third prince, Aldegon, who was beside him, worried: "Are you saying that Adis is going to lose?"
"Ah, this Han person is extremely cunning," said Auben, nodding his head. "He uses words to provoke Adis, making him launch a fierce attack, but Adis's specialty lies in balancing offense and defense. If he can't win with one swift move now, then he has no choice but to admit defeat."
If Jiang Kungming heard Auben's comment, he would certainly take it as a kindred spirit. He was the one who saw that this person could attack and defend from Adis' swordsmanship, so he set up a trap, now Adis is attacking relentlessly, which is equivalent to using only half of his skills, how can he win?
Adis launched a fierce attack, with one sword strike following another in quick succession. Although his moves were not complex, he relied on brute force and momentum to overwhelm his opponent. Xu Haifeng parried dozens of Adis' strikes, but his arm grew numb from the impact, and he realized that his strength was far inferior to Adis', so he could no longer afford to clash with him head-on.
He changed his sword move, and with a sudden stroke, he drew a perfect circle, effortlessly dissolving Adis's incoming slash. Next, the Unbreakable Divine Sword in his hand continued to draw circles in mid-air, large circles enveloping medium ones, medium ones enveloping small ones, and as the small circles expanded outward, another large circle was formed.
Addis was dizzy and disoriented, feeling as if he had walked into a maze, circling around but unable to find a way out. Every time Xu Haifeng turned in a circle, the knight's sword in his hand became heavier by a fraction, swinging it felt like adding a thousand pounds of weight, gradually becoming harder to stretch.
His other hand was holding a knight's shield, but at this moment it was of no use. This is called one step wrong, all lost. Now that the defeat has been set, unless his skills are several times higher than Xu Haifeng's, he will not be able to turn the tide again.
Xia Yajun, sitting on the high platform, put her mind at ease and nodded slightly to Liu Ting. Liu Ting immediately beamed with joy, but unfortunately, her beautiful face was covered by a veil, otherwise she would have captivated a large crowd of people.
After a few more moves, Adis finally lost his grip and the Knight's Sword in his hand was twisted by Xu Haifeng, flying out of his hand.
Adis was an honest and upright knight. Since his sword had been knocked out of his hand, he knew he had lost. His face turned pale as he asked, "What kind of swordsmanship is this?"
Xu Haifeng sheathed his sword and replied solemnly: "From the ultimate to the infinite, from the infinite to the supreme ultimate, this is the Taiji Swordsmanship."
