Chapter 222 Gan Ning seeks bribes and grants martial arts

Cao Cao wanted to take the opportunity of the martial arts competition to kill all the princes, and he would not mention it since this controversy.

Everyone rode their horses back to Yecheng together as if they had never had anything to do. As for the various princes and their participating generals, they didn't know that they had been wandering around under the knife. As Cao Cao said, with the gift of Wu Fan, these people temporarily saved their lives.

Of course, Wu Fan is not Mr. Dongguo. The reason why he prevented Cao Cao from doing this was entirely due to the overall consideration and a comprehensive analysis of the pros and cons of the pros and cons.

There was nothing else going on this night. The next day, the competition continued according to the schedule.

First, the winners are still the winners' battle. Unlike the eight-player four games that yesterday's winners' battle, today's winners are two games, namely Lu Bu vs Wu Fan, Zhang Fei vs Hua Xiong.

Except for Zhang Fei, the other three are all generals of Cao's army. To put it further, they are all generals of the Second Corps of Cao's army. If Zhang Fei had not helped him in the competition with Dian Wei yesterday, it would have been a lucky winner today, and the four winners would have all been Cao's generals. From this point alone, we can see that the proportion of Cao's army is as high as the top generals today.

Amid the audience's roaring like tsunamis, Wu Fan made a brilliant appearance, facing Lu Bu, who stepped onto the martial arts stage one step ahead of time. With the relationship between these two, they did not require any unnecessary politeness. They both smiled with understanding, and each of them crossed the weapons with one hand to make a duel.

Not to mention how Wu Fan thought about Lu Bu, the old opponent, just Lu Bu, his attitude towards Wu Fan has changed several times. From the beginning of his enemy to his current love, especially when he was in a correspondence with his daughter Lu Lingqi, he learned that Wu Fan loved him very much, which made Lu Bu let go of the only concern in his heart, and his mood was very good.

As for his unparalleled reputation, Wu Fan has repeatedly slandered him, the reason why Lu Bu hated Wu Fan before was that the two of them were in a hostile camp at that time was naturally not intimidating. Now it is different. Wu Fan is already his son-in-law, and his son-in-law is stronger than him, and he feels glorious on his face; let alone the stronger the son-in-law, the happier Ling Qi is naturally. For these two reasons, Lu Bu is not at all disliked Wu Fan. Seeing Wu Fan standing in front of him majestic, Lu Bu laughed, but was very happy in his heart.

With this mentality, the next duel between the two can be imagined. Compared with yesterday's duel between Hua Xiong and Wen Chou, no one is willing to use their martial arts and just uses their usual moves to act.

After a few rounds, the two of them intersected their weapons, and the distance between them was very close. Wu Fan said to Lu Bu first:

"General Lu, don't ask Chongjia why Wu Fan didn't call him Lu Bu's father-in-law or something. Chongjia didn't know... It's not a solution for you and me to continue like this. It's better for me to take the initiative to admit defeat and give up the competition. With General Lu's unparalleled martial arts, it will be easy to win the first place in the martial arts competition."

Wu Fan's words were changed, which was exactly what Lu Bu thought. He was also thinking of taking the initiative to admit defeat and let Wu Sheng win the first place. But he felt a little reluctant. After all, this martial arts conference was from the whole country, and it might be like this in his life. Lu Bu really valued it very much.

However, when he heard Wu Fan say this, Lu Bu's hesitation was wiped out and he said firmly:

"No, Governor Wu, I have already had this idea. I only regret that I failed to show up with the ring-eyed thief Zhang Fei. I hope that Governor Wu will punish that guy in the next matchup with the ring-eyed thief and let me vent my anger!"

It seemed that Wu Fan did not agree with his idea very much. Lu Bu thought about it very rarely and lied:

"Lingqi wrote a letter yesterday and mentioned this martial arts competition. She is very excited about whether Governor Wu can win the first place. I hope Governor Wu will not disappoint the girl!"

After saying that, Lu Bu suddenly poured his strength into Fang Tian Huaji, pressed towards Long E in Wu Fan's hand, and then jumped backwards with the reaction force, flipped in the air, and stood firmly on the stage.

Before the referee on the stage could understand what was going on, Lu Bu had already announced loudly:

"Lu Bu and Governor Wu fought many times but could not win. There was still no confidence in this competition. Therefore, Lu Bu gave up his own rights in this competition, and all viewers can prove it. Lu Bu has no regrets!"

As soon as Lu Bu said this, the audience was in an uproar. They originally thought that with the bravery of Lu Bu and Wu Fan, this duel would definitely be extremely fierce and unprecedentedly popular. For this reason, many viewers rushed to occupy a seat in the middle of the night, fearing that they would be squeezed behind if they came too late. Even a large number of viewers did not dare to bet on the surface, secretly, either betting on Lu Bu or betting on Wu Fan.

At present, Lu Bu suddenly announced his abstention, which made the audience not uproar. Even the princes and their participating generals were disappointed after receiving the news.

However, no matter how disappointed and frustrated the civilian audience, no matter how disappointed and frustrated the generals of the competition, it was impossible to change the fact that Lu Bu had announced his abstention. Then, the referee repeatedly asked Lu Bu, until Lu Bu was impatient, he finally announced the competition between Lu Bu and Wu Fan, and Wu Fan finally won.

Wu Fan's fans and those gamblers who bet Wu Fan wins on the bets naturally cheered. Amid the cheers, Wu Fan and Lu Bu walked off the martial arts stage one after another, and the next duel was Zhang Fei and Hua Xiong.

The duel scenes between these two people are much more intense than those of Wu Fan and Lu Bu, which also alleviated the regrets in the audience to some extent. These two people are both powerful generals. In terms of force, Zhang Fei is 1o7 and Hua Xiong is 1o4, which is almost the same. Compared with Dian Wei's 1o2, Hua Xiong is 2 points higher. It seems that the duel scenes between these two people should be more intense and exciting than the duel between Zhang Fei and Dian Wei yesterday.

However, in fact, the duel scene between the two is not as good as yesterday. Although Hua Xiong's weakness in front of Zhang Fei is not very obvious, it can still be seen. The reason is that Hua Xiong's martial arts are increased by diligent practice day and night, and human energy is limited. In this process, Hua Xiong is inevitably lazy in the practice of personal martial arts, so that his martial arts proficiency is low, basically about one-third of the full value.

Zhang Fei's martial arts proficiency is mostly more than half of the full value. In this way, he also uses martial arts. There are differences in the degree, power, and time of the two, which generally leads to the gap in strength between the two.

Therefore, after Erzai had a relatively fierce confrontation for more than 90 rounds, Hua Xiong was finally defeated.

In this way, all the generals who participated in this martial arts competition were the only two left to win consecutive victories, and the first and second places were also between them. However, as the finale, the final showdown will not take place until tomorrow.

After that, today's duel will have seven games, and the seven games that determine the rankings are: Lu Bu vs Hua Xiong, Zhao Yun vs Dian Wei, Huang Zhong vs Wen Chou, Gan Ning vs Xu Zhu, Taishi Ci vs Xu Huang, Xiahou Dun vs Zhang Liao, Sun Ce vs Pang De.

The outcome of these seven matches and the rankings won by the generals are:

Lu Bu vs Hua Xiong, Lu Bu won. Lu Bu was third and Hua Xiong was fourth.

Zhao Yun vs Dian Wei, Zhao Yun won. Zhao Yun ranked fifth and Dian Wei ranked sixth.

Huang Zhong vs Wen Chou, Wen Chou won. Wen Chou ranked seventh and Huang Zhong ranked eighth.

Gan Ning vs Xu Zhu, Gan Ning won. Gan Ning ranked ninth and Xu Zhu ranked tenth.

Taishi Ci vs Xu Huang, Taishi Ci won. Taishi Ci ranked eleventh and Xu Huang ranked twelfth.

Xiahou Dun vs Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao won. Zhang Liao ranked thirteenth and Xiahou Dun ranked 14th.

Sun Ce vs Pang De, Sun Ce won. Sun Di ranked fifteenth and Pang De ranked sixteenth.

...

After lunch, the duel of the generals in the competition venue was continuing, but Wu Fan did not go to watch the battle, but sat alone in the hall, closing his eyes and pondering.

Lu Bu took the initiative to abstain from power, which was undoubtedly a kind intention, and wanted to achieve his reputation. At the same time, he also took this action to make Wu Fan treat his daughter Lu Lingqi well. Wu Fan naturally understood these, but after seeing several duels by Zhang Fei, Wu Fan was really unsure of whether he could defeat Zhang Fei.

Wu Fan had a brief fight with Zhang Fei when he attacked Liu Bei's military camp at night in Xia Pi. Although Zhang Fei's military power was also very high at that time, it was not a big threat to Wu Fan.

However, to this day, Zhang Fei's martial arts have made great progress, which is the result of hard work. However, Wu Fan, as the governor, has to deal with many military and political affairs every day and does not have much time to practice martial arts, so the few martial arts that were not many have not improved much.

Although Wu Fan has the advantages of being huge and being big, Zhang Fei's martial arts are proficient, have no damage range, and fast moves. Wu Fan feels it is difficult to get closer to Zhang Fei. If he can't get closer to him, his huge power will not be able to exert effect, so naturally he can't do anything about Zhang Fei.

It would be great if I had a martial art that could bring the two closer.

Wu Fan thought in his heart. Instead, he felt that this idea was too unrealistic. He only had three martial arts in total, and he knew the most. He would like to narrow the distance between the enemy and us? These three skills did not have this function at all.

As a result, Wu Fan was quite distressed. He did not take this martial arts competition seriously and did not value any ranking he could get. However, now Lu Bu took the initiative to abstain from giving up the opportunity to him. Even for this reason, he had to try his best to win the first place.

Originally, he had an indifferent mentality, but suddenly became unreasonable distress. Wu Fan shook his head secretly, got up and walked out of the house and came to the yard.

It’s also my fault. If I had blocked Lu Bu’s mouth before he announced his abstention, wouldn’t it be fine? It was so strange. Why was I stunned at that time?

While thinking, Wu Fan waved Long Eshan to walk around the courtyard. He was bored, and he used the halberd to distract himself from his heart and drive away his annoyance. Unexpectedly, the sound of the halberd that was rising attracted Gan Ning, a person walking on the road outside the yard gate.

Gan Ning had just finished the showdown with Xu Zhu and defeated Cao's powerful general Xu Zhu. Gan Ning was a little surprised. With this good mood, when Gan Ning walked back to his hall, he heard the whistle of waving weapons in Wu Fan's courtyard. Thinking that tomorrow would be the final showdown between Wu Fan and Zhang Fei, Gan Ning immediately became interested and walked to Wu Fan's courtyard gate to slap the door.

When Wu Fan heard someone slamming the door, he flashed Long E on the weapon stand and came forward to open the door, but unexpectedly saw Gan Ning visiting.

"I accidentally passed by here and heard the sound of weapons dancing in the courtyard, so I came to see what happened. Could it be that Governor Wu, who has always been confident, is he also worried about the final showdown tomorrow?"

As soon as Gan Ning entered the yard, he asked first.

Wu Fan sighed, not saying anything. Gan Ning was a little anxious and said directly:

"Governor Wu refused to say it. Could it be that Gan guessed it? If this is true, Gan had something unknown: Zhang Fei is not as brave as an ordinary man. How could Governor Wu defeat me, Gan Xingba, so how could he be so worried about Zhang Fei?"

Gan Ning is also a very arrogant person, and he didn't take Zhang Fei seriously in his words. Listening to his words, if Wu Fan could not beat Zhang Fei, he would not only feel incredible, but also feel that he was also blind.

These three people now have a very obvious relationship: First, it has become a fact that Wu Fan defeats Gan Ning; if Wu Fan defeats Zhang Fei in the next step, it is difficult to determine which one Gan Ning and Zhang Fei is stronger and weaker. However, if Wu Fan is defeated by Zhang Fei, it is tantamount to telling the people of the world that Gan Ning is not Zhang Fei's opponent.

Under such a relationship, the arrogant Gan Ning naturally had no confidence in Wu Fan to defeat Zhang Fei and could not accept it.

Gan Ning said a moment ago that he had no other thoughts. However, Wu Fan captured an opportunity from it. When his thoughts were turned, Wu Fan finally spoke:

"That's right, as General Gan said, Wu really has no confidence in the next duel with Zhang Fei. As for the reason, Wu had fought with Zhang Fei several times before, and Zhang Fei is already very familiar with Wu's martial arts routines; unless Wu can catch him off guard with another new martial art, otherwise, tomorrow's duel will be really unpredictable."

Of course, Wu Fan's words are lying, but this is not important. What is important is that after listening to it, Gan Ning directly waved his hand:

"What's the difficulty? My martial arts are far from that of Governor Wu. I'll learn one from me. I'll guarantee that Zhang Fei will be defeated tomorrow."

As soon as he said that, Gan Ning felt something was wrong. Why did he feel like he was surrounded by Wu Fan? He wanted to repent, but the words were already said, and both of them could hear clearly, and Wu Fan said happily at this time:

"It's really a great increase in confidence with General Gan's help. I wonder what kind of martial arts General Gan wants to teach?"

Gan Ning hesitated for a moment, weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and thought to himself: Since he has already said it, it is impossible to repent. Besides, learning martial arts is not easy, and the more advanced you are, the more difficult it is to learn it; and although it is relatively easier to learn low-level martial arts, what's wrong with letting him learn low-level martial arts? Just treat it as fulfilling his promise.

According to the game setting, Gan Ning and Wu Fan's relationship is only a confidant, and it is impossible to teach skills in this state; the reason can be seen from Gan Ning's psychological activities: he is still suspicious of Wu Fan and needs to reach a trust relationship in the game to learn skills. However, that is the dead rule in the game after all. In the current real world, the rules have also been adapted, manifested as...

I saw Gan Ning smiled heartily and said:

"Governor Wu can choose one of the martial arts skills of Gan, but Gan only teaches Wu once, whether he can learn it depends on Governor Wu's enlightenment. In addition, if Gan teaches martial arts skills to Governor Wu, should Governor Wu also give Gan some benefits to express his gratitude?"

This is a pure bribe.

There is no way, who made the two of them not very close now? It is very rare to be able to teach Wu Fan to learn martial arts, and it is reasonable to ask for bribes without any loss.

As for the "benefits" mentioned by Gan Ning, it is naturally not ordinary money, but objects such as treasures.

There are ten treasures in Wu Fan now, namely: Dragon E Flash, Xitian Dou Dragon Armor, Claw Huang Fei Lightning, Flame, Yang Yujiu Bow, Extreme Vermillion Bird Wing, Extreme Black Tortoise Armor, Wine Wine, Liquor, Liqun, and Fake Junjie Axe.

Among them, only wine and literary mirror can be given to others. The other eight treasures are very important to Wu Fan and are indispensable.

As for the two treasures, the wine wine and the Wenjing, the value is 5 and 15 respectively. Giving the wine wine with a value of 5 to Gan Ning seems to be too low. Moreover, the wine wine has the function of becoming a sworn brother. Although it is not 100% touching, it is more useful than a purely decorative artifact.

Therefore, Wu Fan proposed to give Wen Jing to Gan Ning. The latter was very happy and immediately asked Wu Fan to choose which martial arts to learn.

Wu Fan had no experience in playing against Gan Ning before, so naturally he didn't know what martial arts Gan Ning had. It was impossible for Gan Ning to demonstrate each martial arts? Besides, Wu Fan had a plan in his mind, that was, when he was confronting Gan Ning the day before yesterday, Gan Ning's move "Jiulong went out to sea" made Wu Fan feel very good, so he explained to Gan Ning that he would learn this move.

The dragon going out to sea is an advanced martial art. Wu Fan's weapons are different from Gan Ning. It is naturally extremely difficult to learn this advanced martial arts directly. At least, Gan Ning thought so. At this time, Gan Ning was in a good mood because of the Wen Jing, so he expressed his concerns to Wu Fan.

After Wu Fan learned that this dragon went to sea was an advanced martial art, he became more determined to learn. Because with Wu Fan's own characteristics, the martial arts tree has not yet been formed, and it is almost as difficult to learn any martial arts. In addition, every time you learn a martial arts, your strength will be slightly reduced accordingly. In this case, the higher the level when learning martial arts, the better.

The most critical point: This dragon goes to sea to bring the distance between the enemy and us very close, which is exactly what Wu Fan needs most at this time.

Seeing that Wu Fan insisted on learning about this dragon going out to sea, Gan Ning stopped talking. Anyway, he had plans to teach only once, no matter what martial arts he had learned, it depends on Wu Fan's understanding.

Then the two left the city and came to the deserted mountain in the north. On a hillside where there was no one around, Gan Ning explained the key points of the dragon's move to the sea in detail, and then Gan Ning demonstrated this martial arts at the slowest level.
