Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 26. Zhang Nan's Defeat
"You thief! How dare you humiliate me like this!"

Zhang Bao's martial arts were all taught by Zhang Fei himself, and he had great respect for his father. Now he heard Feng Xi say such outrageous things, looked down on him, and let his men fight in a round-robin battle to consume his father's physical strength, and then he would take advantage of it... All these made Zhang Bao's impression of Feng Xi plummet.

"Young General, please don't be angry. Although Feng Xiuyuan is arrogant, his men are very skilled. With your ability... Please forgive me for speaking frankly, but I'm afraid I won't get any good results."

Seeing that Zhang Bao was easily instigated and fell into the trap, Liu Ning continued to add fuel to the fire.

You have to know that young talents like Zhang Bao are arrogant, and there are two things he hates the most. The first is someone directly saying that he is not as good as someone else, especially someone of the same age.

The second is to humiliate him in his area of ​​expertise.

It happened that Liu Ning had provoked both of these parties. Now when Zhang Bao heard Liu Ning's hypocritical "advice", he became even more furious.

"Okay, okay, I want to see what kind of martial arts this Feng Xiuyuan has. Could it be that there really is Lu Bu reincarnated, or a ghost or a god descending from the sky?"

In a rage, Zhang Bao picked up his spear and was about to challenge Feng Xi to a duel, but was quickly stopped by Liu Ning.

"Don't worry, Major General. Don't worry, Major General. Today's fight will definitely decide who will be the winner. With your martial arts, you will most likely meet Feng Xiuyuan in the final battle. Then we can decide who is better. Wouldn't that be wonderful? If we go to find Feng Xiuyuan now, it would be considered a private fight, which is probably not in accordance with etiquette."

How could Liu Ning dare to let Zhang Bao go to Feng Xi now? If Feng Xi explained it clearly in a few words, he would be in trouble.

If they met on the training ground, Feng Xi would not have so much time to explain, and he would have to compete with Zhang Bao to see who was better. By then, given Zhang Bao's temperament, it was still unknown whether he could really get angry.

Zhang Bao hurriedly thanked the two men and headed for the parade ground, ready to go all out to defeat the enemy ahead. As for the two "kind-hearted people" who had revealed so much information to him, Zhang Bao had long forgotten them and did not even ask their names.

Feng Xi, on the other hand, had no idea that he had been targeted. He stood outside the training ground and watched Zhang Nan on the stage defeat his opponent quite easily.

"Wenjin, you have to work harder. With your martial arts skills, you should be in the top three, if not second in this competition."

Feng Xi greeted Zhang Nan with a smile.

“Why is my best place second?”

Zhang Nan was stunned for a moment.

Feng Xi pointed at himself.

"Why, did you also gain a lot in your dream last night and learn some advanced martial arts?"

Zhang Nan's face turned dark and he pushed Feng Xi, causing Feng Xi to burst into laughter.

……

"The next match is between Zhang Bao and Zhang Nan!"

The sun had already passed, and the battle was about to come to an end. It was now the quarterfinals, and if either side lost one game, they would be completely eliminated, so neither dared to hold back, dreaming of winning the first place and being appreciated by the king.

"Tsk, Wen Jin is unlucky. He actually met Zhang Bao in the quarterfinals."

Feng Xi couldn't help but feel that fate was playing tricks on him when he saw this grouping. Zhang Bao and Zhang Nan both had the qualifications to be in the top three, but they were facing each other in this quarter-finals, so one of them was bound to have to leave the stage with regret.

"Are you Zhang Nan?"

Zhang Bao seemed to react to Zhang Nan's name and raised his eyebrows.

"Uh...exactly."

Zhang Nan didn't understand why, but he always felt that the other party's tone was not so friendly.

"Come on! Let's start with you!" Zhang Bao made such a confusing statement and rode his horse straight towards Zhang Nan.

"Den!"

Zhang Bao used the momentum of his horse to strike back, and Zhang Nan's arm shook violently a few times. Zhang Nan was stunned by Zhang Bao's strange words, so he started slowly and suffered a small loss.

The two men were fighting on horseback, one holding a snake spear like a poisonous snake spitting out its core, the other holding a long spear like a dragon emerging from the abyss. The two had fought for more than ten rounds with swords and sabers, but neither of them was an ordinary person.

"drink!"

Zhang Bao actually ignored Zhang Nan's attack on his chest and chose to stab Zhang Nan in the face with his snake spear.

If it were on the battlefield, Zhang Bao would most likely exchange death for injury, after all, Zhang Nan was not slow and he used his spear first.

Zhang Nan hesitated when he saw this, and could only withdraw his gun to defend. After all, Zhang Nan was not Feng Xi, and he did not have the ability to instantly change the wooden handle of the gun. In addition, this was a sparring match, and he could not really stab the third general's son, so he could only withdraw his hand to defend.

However, this time he lost the initiative by defending. Originally, the two sides were evenly matched, and Zhang Nan was giving up his advantage and exposing his weakness.

"Alas, it seems the outcome has been decided."

Feng Xi shook his head with a bit of regret. If it was a life-and-death fight on the battlefield, Zhang Nan would have won. But this was not a battlefield, so Zhang Nan lost.

Zhang Bao seemed to love this style of fighting, pressing hard with every move. Facing Zhang Bao's unethical style of fighting, Zhang Nan had no good solution, he could only give up the opportunities he had finally gained, and then was suppressed by Zhang Bao like a storm, and finally lost.

"Feng Xi! You're next!"

After defeating Zhang Nan, Zhang Bao didn't even look at Zhang Nan, he looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, and pointed his snake spear at the audience. He didn't know what Feng Xi looked like, so he just pointed at random, but this point also made Feng Xi puzzled.

Feng Xi couldn't remember when he had any contact with Zhang Bao, so how did he get involved with him?

But despite his doubts, Zhang Bao is now one of the top four and it is his turn to take the stage.

"The third match is between Feng Xi and Wu Ban! Both parties please stand by on both sides of the training ground."

Feng Xi climbed onto his beloved horse and rode to the training ground, where Wu Ban was already waiting.

"I have heard of Xiu Yuan's name for a long time. I am fortunate to meet him today. I hope you can give me some advice."

Wu Ban also held up his sword and bowed, saying a few polite words, fully demonstrating his noble manners.

"You are too polite, Yuanxiong. I have seen General Wu's extraordinary demeanor the day before yesterday. Today we should have a friendly competition and learn from each other."

Feng Xi always treats people who are easy to talk to with a kind of flattery. There is no tension between the two sides, and it really seems like a daily exchange.

As the referee's flag was waved, the two men rode their horses and rushed towards each other. As soon as the sword and the spear met, Wu Ban felt that the sword in his hand was about to slip out of his hand.

As the cousin of Princess Wu, Wu Ban was well taken care of in the army. In addition, Wu Ban himself was quite skilled in military tactics and strategy, so he was still a little arrogant.

After being defeated by Zhang Nan yesterday, Wu Ban inquired about Zhang Nan's situation, wanting to know who this man who had never been heard of but defeated him easily was.

It didn't take much for Wu Ban to find out the relationship between Zhang Nan and Feng Xi. He was also quite curious about Feng Xi, Feng Xiuyuan, who had been making a lot of noise recently.

After today's battle, Wu Ban truly felt what it meant to be more famous than to meet someone in person. After just one round, Wu Ban knew that he was probably no match for Feng Xi.
