Mu Long and the others were moved when they heard Xiao Li say that he would fight. They thought to themselves, ”We can't let Xiao Li lose his life like this. Even if he loses, he can't just die like this. We must take him away.” Everyone looked at each other and they all had the same thought. Zhai Yingkong said, ”No, I don't think we need to bet anymore. We can just rely on martial arts to take the opponent's life.” As long as you have the ability, you can just come and take my brother's life. Hmph, I think you don't have that kind of ability. ”
That person wanted to retort, but Xiao Li cut him off, ”Old brother Zhai, there's no need to talk about this. This is a matter between the two of us, let's settle it ourselves.”
After Zhai Yingkong heard this, he said, ”Okay, this is your problem. I'll stand on the side and watch. Don't let this person run away after losing.” However, he thought to himself: It doesn't matter if you lose or win, we won't let you die.
Xiao Li said to that person, ”We have a deal. However, the order of the three matches has to be changed. The first match was a wine contest. The second was a match of endurance. The third was a match of martial arts. If this is the case, I will immediately commit suicide to atone for my crimes in the first two matches, and if there is no clear winner in the first two matches, then we will directly determine the difference between life and death in the third match. ”
The person said, ”Alright, that's it. ”Then let's start now.” That person didn't seem to be afraid of losing, as if he had absolute confidence in winning. This confused Xiao Li and the others. He had said earlier that he had absolute confidence in defeating Xiao Li in the wine competition. In that case, what made him think that he could defeat Xiao Li? Could it be that he was trying to flatter Xiao Li before? But now was not the time to think about this. Xiao Li immediately became calm and said, ”Alright!”
That person said, ”However, this kind of competition doesn't seem to be that interesting. How about we come up with something new?”
Xiao Li said, ”Don't be long-winded. If you have anything to say, just say it. Let's finish this quickly.”
That person said, ”If it's just like this, using the small jug of water is too tiring and tiring, how about I create a new drinking method?”
Xiao Li said, ”Then quickly prepare!” The man struck out with both palms, ”Servant!” Immediately, several people were carrying a large wooden tree, and two thick bamboo poles were poking out from the tree. This Dendrobium was incomparably large, and could hold more than ten battles.
The man walked up to the tree and introduced it, ”This is a self-made item. It's called the Dendrobium. ”First fill up the Dendrobium and then remove the cover.” He pointed at the wooden plank that protruded from the bottom of the tree, then pointed at the bamboo pole and continued, ”The wine will be poured down these two bamboo poles. The drinker only needs to put the stem in his mouth to drink.”
Xiao Li said, ”Good, what a generous Dendrocalix. Seeing it, I want to give it a try. Then let's have a good fight together. ” Hearing this, Zhai Yingkong came out and said, ”No, how do we know this isn't a trap he set up? Who knows if there are any traps in the Dendrobium? If there's a mechanism, then it would be unfair to us. ”
Xiao Li waved his hand, ”Old brother Zhai, I have decided. Please stay by the side and help me.”
That person gave him a thumbs up and said, ”Good, this brother is indeed generous. However, I can swear that this wine definitely does not have any tricks or tricks, or else it would be like thunder from the heavens. ”
Xiao Li said, ”Alright, you can start now.”
The man waved to the men who were carrying the plants, and they carried the plants upstairs. Most restaurants had two stories, the ones upstairs were a bit quieter, and some had their own private rooms. Downstairs, there were several boorish men of the common people. They were all shouting and boasting about how noisy it was. Due to their clothing and money, Xiao Li and the others were drinking in the hall downstairs. Those people carried the Dendrobii upstairs and placed it outside the fence upstairs. The two bamboo poles were lowered to the bottom of the fence, allowing people to sit on the chairs facing the pole. Then, they used ropes to secure the Dendrobium's head. When everything was ready, he bowed to the person downstairs and said, ”Head, everything is ready.”
That person nodded and extended his hand towards Xiao Li, ”Please!” Xiao Li stood up and walked to the chair that he had prepared. That person also followed him. The two of them sat down and waited.
Those who were upstairs hurriedly ordered the waiters to serve them a large pot of wine, then poured the wine into the Dendrobium. At this moment, no one in the restaurant was sitting at the table drinking anymore. Both Xiao Li and Xiao Kun were sitting upstairs and downstairs, preparing to watch the rare wine fighting competition.
Once everything was ready, the wine man asked the man, ”Head, the wine is already filled. Do you wish to begin?” Zhai Yingkong came out again. ”Wait a moment, let me take the panel.”
