Unexpectedly, after saying this, the Maruo man became unhappy.
"I've already told you that I'm from Maruo. I'm here to visit Xiang Kunlun. If you don't believe me, forget it."
Zhuge Liang felt funny in his heart. Are all the people in the Maruo Kingdom so temperamental
It's really interesting.
Of course, he would not agree to this person's request just because of these words.
Zhuge Liang said calmly: "If you sincerely want to see our emperor, then tell us clearly your origins and everything that can prove your identity. Otherwise, just go back to where you came from."
The Maro man was a little anxious. After thinking for a moment, he finally compromised.
"Oh well."
He rolled up his sleeves and saw a wild horse tattooed on his strong arm.
"This tattoo is a symbol of us Maro people. Everyone will have this tattoo."
"As for the reason why I came, I heard that the emperor of the Dragon Kingdom is a very powerful person, so I crossed the ocean specifically to challenge him. It's that simple."
After Zhuge Liang heard this, his first reaction was that he traveled all this way just to challenge someone he had never met before. Isn't this mentally flawed
Of course, he certainly couldn't say that.
After staring at this muscular man for a while, I could feel that this man was not making up lies.
"In that case, then come with me."
Other subordinates were a little worried: "Military advisor, is there something wrong?"
Zhuge Liang waved his hand: "Don't worry, it's okay."
Inside the palace.
Zhuge Liang asked the muscular man to wait outside the palace while he went in first to report.
"Your Majesty, there is a muscular man from the Maruo Kingdom outside the door, saying he wants to challenge you."
Since there were no outsiders, Xiang Kunlun lay lazily on the chair. Only when he heard the word challenge did he have a slight reaction.
Maro Country, he thought for a moment and determined that there was no conflict with the people of this country.
"Well done, why does this person want to challenge me?"
Zhuge Liang explained the reason, and Xiang Kunlun felt very speechless. However, since everyone was here, it would be very shameful if he refused to fight.
"Then let him in."
After the Maruo man came in, he just stood there and stared at Xiang Kunlun.
He also did not kneel down and salute, nor did he say anything.
Xiang Kunlun didn't mind his rude behavior at all, but just stared at him curiously.
Because this Maro man was wearing rags.
As far as he knew, although Maro was not a very wealthy country, it would not turn people into this.
Thinking of this, he asked directly.
"Can I ask you, is the way you dress the traditional style of your country? Or is it your personal preference?"
The muscular man was slightly embarrassed and explained that he had brought some food with him when he left the country. However, he arrived a few days later than expected and the food he had on him ran out, so he had to endure hunger.
After finally reaching the Dragon Kingdom, he fainted from hunger before he could see Xiang Kunlun.
Finally, the patrolling soldiers found him and gave him food and water, which finally made him wake up.
After explaining this, the muscular man seemed even more embarrassed. He felt that after saying this, he seemed to be at a disadvantage before the competition started.
Therefore, the pitch suddenly rose.
"Although you are the emperor of the Dragon Kingdom, I am not afraid of you. Do you dare to challenge me?"
Xiang Kunlun thought silently, can you win another two points
He said slowly: "Of course I dare, but you are tired from coming all the way."
"Then I haven't had enough rest and I'm not acclimated to the climate. This is my territory. The right time and place are right, and I don't want to occupy it either."
"If I agree to compete with you at this time, wouldn't I be taking advantage of others' danger?"
The muscular man didn't seem to expect that he would say that, and was slightly dazed.
Xiang Kunlun waved his hand and asked his men to take him down. After he regained his energy, the two of them would fight again.
The muscular man looked at Xiang Kunlun for a while without saying anything, and followed his men down.
He praised in his heart that Xiang Kunlun was a gentleman and indeed worthy of being the emperor of the Dragon Kingdom.
Three days later.
The muscular man had almost recovered. He came to find Xiang Kunlun again and asked to compete with him.
Xiang Kunlun raised a hand: "Wait a minute."
"If it's just a simple competition, it would be too boring. How about we make a bet, do you dare?"
As long as the provocation method is used, this muscular man will naturally not refuse.
"Okay, what do you want to bet on?"
Xiang Kunlun made a bet and said that if he won, the other party would surrender to him.
After returning to the Maro Kingdom, he still has to convince the Maro Kingdom's emperor to form an alliance with him.
The muscular man just wants to compete purely and does not want to get involved in politics.
He frowned, as if hesitating.
"What if you lose?"
Xiang Kunlun thought silently, how could I lose
However, he still said sincerely: "If I lose, then our Dragon Kingdom will become a vassal state of your Maruo Kingdom. How about that?"
The muscular man did not expect that he would say this. As a big country, the Dragon Kingdom would be of great benefit to the development of their country if it became a satellite of the Maro Kingdom.
Thinking of this, the muscular man agreed without saying a word.
Xiang Kunlun took off his dragon robe and moved his wrists and ankles.
This time, for the sake of fairness, he did not use weapons, but planned to fight with bare hands.
The muscular man cupped his fists and said, "I agree."
The next second, the two were fighting each other.
After a few rounds, the two men locked fists together and took a step back at the same time.
Xiang Kunlun was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that this muscular man was so powerful that the two of them could compete in a draw.
Xiang Kunlun did not dare to underestimate the enemy anymore, and used all his strength to fight.
The muscular man also felt Xiang Kunlun's strength and mobilized all his energy.
After another fight, the muscular man fell to his knees.
Although it only took a second for him to stand up again, he was still defeated by Xiang Kunlun.
He raised his head and saw a hand in front of his eyes.
The muscular man was stunned for a moment.
Xiang Kunlun laughed: "Friendship comes first, competition comes second."
The muscular man also slowly put his hand on Xiang Kunlun's hand, holding the two hands tightly together.
Now he is convinced of Xiang Kunlun's strength, character, and talent selection in governing the country.
He said sincerely: "I am willing to admit defeat. Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will go back to convince our Emperor of Maruo Kingdom."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to Xiang Kunlun and turned to leave.
