Chapter 617: The Heroine Hammer General
He was wearing a brocade robe embroidered with white cloud patterns. The robe was shining and flickering with his movements. His hair was gently tied up with a jade hairpin inlaid with gems, revealing his handsome face with clear contours.
Su Ye's gaze did not linger too much on Jia Fu, Zhao Gongming, Xia Gengshi, Shebishi and others. Although they all had superb martial arts skills, for him, this was just expected.
On the contrary, his gaze passed through the crowd and fell on Fan Lihua and the giant holding the Yuwang Divine Spear. These masters were not under his command but were attracted here because of the martial arts conference. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He gently stroked the warm jade cup in his hand, thinking secretly in his heart.
This time, he suddenly had the urge to hold a martial arts tournament, not just to give these newcomers a suitable position.
He even regarded this martial arts conference as an excellent opportunity to recruit talents and expand his own power.
And masters like Fan Lihua and the giant holding King Yu's divine spear are undoubtedly the "unexpected gains" that he values the most.
At this time, next to Su Ye, sat a woman with a stunning appearance and heroic spirit between her brows.
It was the Suzaku who had been accompanying Su Ye in his battles for a long time.
Unlike her heroic appearance on the battlefield in the past, Suzaku today is wearing a red dress as hot as fire.
The hem of her skirt trailed the ground gently, swaying in the breeze like a blooming red lotus, making her already stunning appearance even more breathtaking.
On the red skirt, the phoenix pattern embroidered with gold thread is lifelike, as if it can flap its wings and fly away at any time.
Zhuque's hair was carefully combed into a cloud-like style, with a few strands of hair gently falling beside her cheeks, adding a touch of tenderness and gentleness to her.
A pair of phoenix eyes were as bright as stars, sparkling with anticipation for the arena below. Especially when Fan Lihua's heroic figure came into view, a hint of admiration flashed in Zhuque's eyes.
"Why, are you interested in her?"
Su Ye felt where Zhuque's gaze was going. He tilted his head slightly, looked at Zhuque with a gentle, almost doting look, and asked softly.
"Yeah, she's good."
Zhuque's soft body leaned slightly against Su Ye and nodded gently.
Since ancient times, there have been very few female military generals, let alone a heroine like Fan Lihua who is outstanding among female generals.
Therefore, Zhuque, who is also a female god of war, naturally became interested in Fan Lihua below.
Seeing this, Su Ye curled up his lips into a smile.
"There are so many talented people in the world, and it is a great honor to meet such outstanding women at this conference."
Su Ye said softly. Looking at the unexpected events at this conference, he was in a particularly good mood.
After all, getting something for free is always a joy.
Upon hearing this, Suzaku felt a warm feeling in his heart.
She leaned gently against Su Ye, her gaze once again turned to the arena below, secretly looking forward to Fan Lihua's next performance.
"What a warrior!"
At the same time, Jia Fu and others who had already left the ring cast their solemn gazes at the giant who was slowly walking down the stage.
On the other side, Xue Gang, who had just stood out easily, and Xue Kui, who was carrying a pair of heavy drum hammers, stood side by side, looking at the back of the giant who was slowly walking into the crowd.
"This person's strength is amazing, I'm afraid he is not an ordinary person."
"The martial arts conference held by the Duke this time is really full of hidden talents!"
Xue Gang's brows relaxed and he said with a little emotion.
Xue Kui nodded, but his attention was soon attracted by a young general in a white robe and a white helmet who was also holding a silver hammer. He felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart.
"Hmm? This guy is also a hammer general? It's rare to see him. We are destined to meet!"
Xue Kui smiled brightly and broke the silence first. His voice was deep and full of frankness and enthusiasm.
"Uh, that's right. My name is Bai Wenbao, nice to meet you two." The young general in white robe was slightly stunned, then returned the greeting.
This person was none other than Bai Wenbao, who had been implanted under Su Ye's command. He was supposed to follow Pei Yuanqing, but when he heard about the martial arts conference that his lord was planning to hold, he heard about it.
Following Han Xin and Pei Yuanqing, he naturally knew, having inside information, that this martial arts conference was an excellent opportunity for promotion.
As long as you get a good ranking, you can be promoted quickly.
The speed is definitely not comparable to what he could have experienced while accompanying the army in Dayong.
Therefore, after hearing the news, he naturally rushed to Hengzhou with the support of Pei Yuanqing.
"My name is Xue Kui, and this is my brother Xue Gang."
Xue Kui laughed and patted the Lei Gu Weng Jin Chui in his hand.
"Greetings, Brother Xue, this pair of drum-beating and golden hammers look very heavy. I believe you must be a person with extraordinary martial arts skills."
Hearing this, Bai Wenbao smiled and said softly.
Xue Gang observed quietly from the side. Although Bai Wenbao was young, his words and actions revealed a calmness and confidence that went beyond his age. He couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart.
"Brother Bai, your equipment and aura do not make you look like an ordinary person."
"I wonder who your master is, and where you came from to Hengzhou?"
He patted Xue Kui's shoulder, signaling him not to be too ostentatious, and then joined the conversation.
Bai Wenbao smiled slightly and briefly introduced his background and why he participated in this martial arts conference.
When mentioning Pei Yuanqing and Han Xin, his tone was full of respect and pride.
Obviously, it is a great honor for him to serve under these two famous generals.
After hearing this, Xue Kui's eyes flashed with admiration. He was a generous person by nature, and since he and Bai Wenbao were both hammer generals, the two of them quickly found common topics.
They talked about everything from the exquisiteness of the hammer technique to the heroic deeds of Bai Wenbao and Pei Yuanqing on the battlefield of Dayong, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years, and they chatted enthusiastically.
Seeing this, Xue Gang was secretly relieved.
In these troubled times, it is rare to meet like-minded friends.
Therefore, he quickly joined the discussion, and the three of them sat in a circle, sometimes laughing loudly and sometimes talking in low voices.
A sudden tacit understanding quietly grew between them.
"King Yu's Divine Spear? I wonder if it was You Liang or Zhuge Kunlong?"
Su Ye, who was standing on the high platform, looked at the giant who was slowly returning to the glass building below, and thought secretly in his heart.
You Liang, You Feilong is from the storytelling "Romance of the Eastern Han Dynasty", and is the chief vanguard officer of the eight kingdoms of Western Xia.
Because You Liang was 17.5 feet tall, he was nicknamed the Tall Man, and he was using the magical spear of King Yu, the founder of the world.
In the storytelling, there is a scene where the Eight Hammers come together to fight against the tall man You Liang. They are the four invincible golden hammer general Gongsun Yang, silver hammer general Ma Kui, bronze hammer general Li Jinlong and iron hammer general Feng Qianlang.
You Liang, wielding the magic spear of King Yu, was able to fight against four fierce men and eight big hammers alone, showing his extraordinary bravery.
In the later period, a tall white man named Zhuge Kunlong appeared. He was 18.5 feet tall and also used King Yu's magic spear.
This is because King Yu's magic spear has four parts: finger, palm, fist and horizontal. You Liang and his master stole the horizontal spear, so Master Zhuge Kunlong asked Zhuge Kunlong to hold the spear and go down the mountain to fight You Liang.
However, due to various reasons, the two tall men, black and white, were unable to fight in the later period.
