The scream was so loud that it hurt the eardrums of the people around.
Gondor jumped two meters high, and after landing, he covered his arm covered with blisters and screamed.
The screams were so heartbreaking and moving that they made anyone who heard them cry, and they made anyone who watched them feel numb all over.
Even those closest to the ring could faintly smell the aroma of meat, which made many of them retch.
Seeing Gondor's miserable state, Li Zhuo hurriedly said, "What happened to Gondor's Imperial Master? Why don't you call the imperial physician immediately?"
Doctor Cai rushed onto the ring with his equipment in hand. After checking Gondor's injuries, he said with a tingling sensation on his scalp, "Quick, get some badger oil!"
Badger oil is an ointment made from the fat of the badger, a member of the Mustelidae family. It is very effective for burns caused by water or fire.
This thing was not a rare thing in ancient times, but it would be hard to find in modern times.
The apprentices below hurriedly took out badger oil for Doctor Cai. Just as Doctor Cai was about to start, Li Xiang on the side said, "Wait a minute, rinse the wound with plenty of clean water first. Rinse vigorously until he feels cold all over!"
I don’t know if Li Xiang was prepared for this, but as soon as he finished speaking, the door of the Chinese Academy of Sciences opened and someone came out pushing a water cart.
The rushing clear water washed over Gondor's red and swollen affected area. The water took away the excess heat, and the expression on Gondor's face improved a lot.
Li Zhuo felt relieved upon seeing this. Although he disliked Gondor, it would be a troublesome matter if Gondor really died in this place.
Burns and scalds may not seem to bleed, but in today's world, they are really troublesome and can easily cause infection.
Fortunately, the weather is cold now, and the possibility of infection is greatly reduced.
After charging for nearly half an hour, Gondor finally said that he felt a little cold, and only then did everyone stop.
Doctor Cai had already prepared badger oil and was waiting on the side. He immediately stepped forward and treated Gondor's wound in no time.
Looking at the wound wrapped in gauze, Gondor said with a gloomy expression, "I lost this round. Let's play the second round. If I lose again, I won't tell you the third riddle."
Yangxuzi rushed forward with a quick step, supported Gangdu and said, "Master Gangdu, why do you have to do this? Our Great Qi is a country of etiquette and would never take advantage of others in distress. You are not in good condition today. It is better for you to go back and recuperate. When you are healed, we can have the second round."
Yangxuzi remembered it clearly. Li Xiang just said that he would perform as an example in the first show, and it would be his turn to go on stage in the second show.
What’s more, what Yangxuzi wants to perform when he goes on stage is not to fish money out of the oil pan, he wants to perform beheading!
Are you kidding me? Can you chop off your head just like that?
The only solution now is to persuade Gondor to go back. The people who challenged him are no longer here, so there is no reason for him to perform such acrobatics.
For Yangxuzi, being beheaded on the spot was absolutely impossible, so he decided to delay it as long as possible.
If it really doesn't work, just find a way to kill Gondor. After all, Gondor is injured, and there are always some accidents these days.
Anyway, as long as Gondor dies, the competition will be over.
As for how Liao and Jin would react after Gondor's death, whether they would send troops to invade and fight to the death with Da Qi, that was not something Yangxuzi cared about.
He is an extremely selfish person. As long as he lives well, what does it matter to him whether others live or die?
But what he never expected was that Gondor actually pushed him away and shouted angrily: "Get out of here! Do you think I'm a coward? There are no cowards among us Liaojin people!"
What the hell!?
Yangxuzi was dumbfounded. He had never seen such an ignorant and reckless person.
What are you doing? I'm saving you, how could you push me away? Do you really want to die?
Yangxuzi had no idea that Gondor really didn't want to live anymore.
If he had any hesitation before jumping into the frying pan, then at this moment he had already put life and death aside.
If the people of Da Qi really cut off his head today, the warriors of Liao and Jin would definitely avenge him!
At this moment, Gondor almost had the words "kill me" written on his face.
It felt like a thousand horses were galloping through Yangxuzi's heart, and he was finally convinced!
Aren't you harming others? If you want to die, just find a place to hang yourself. Why harm others?
No, I can't just sit there and wait for death! I just climbed up the ladder, I don't want to die yet!
Without a word, Yangxuzi turned and kowtowed to Li Zhuo, saying, "Your Majesty, we cannot continue the competition. The Gondorian State Master is clearly unsure. If we really cut off his head and can't replace it, it will be a major incident!"
Although he was thinking that he would not care what would happen after his death, Yangxuzi's expression at this moment was full of compassion.
Li Zhuo was watching the movie with great interest, but after hearing this, he became a little hesitant.
Yes, if the national teacher of Liao and Jin was beheaded in their Great Qi, it would be unacceptable.
Don’t say that the two sides are gambling and fighting, or that life and death are determined by fate and wealth is determined by God.
If Liao and Jin do not acknowledge it, who can the Great Qi turn to for justice?
So Li Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Master Gondor, I think what Immortal Yangxuzi said makes sense. Let's forget about such a dangerous competition and don't damage the harmony between our two countries."
"You seem to be seriously injured today. Why don't you go back and recuperate? We can talk about the competition later."
"No, we Liaojin men are naturally like-minded. Since we said we would decide the winner today, we must do it! Your Majesty, are you looking down on us Liaojin people?"
What I said...
Li Zhuo was speechless. Did he meet someone unreasonable?
He heard that there are such people among the people. When drinking with others, they must make them drink. If they don't, they will look down on them.
Li Zhuo never expected that he, the emperor of the Great Qi, would encounter such a bad thing.
Li Zhuo looked at Li Xiang helplessly and said, "Kid, why do you have to use this method when you want to compete properly? Look at what's happening now..."
Li Xiang bowed hurriedly and said, "Your Highness has been inconsiderate. How about this? Master Gondor, why don't you tell us the third riddle first? If we can't do it, we can discuss beheading later."
Upon hearing this, Gondor's eyes lit up and he said, "You said it, as long as you can't do it, I'll win, right?"
Without giving Li Xiang and the others a chance to regret, he immediately said, "My third question is, is there anyone in Da Qi who can fly?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned extremely ugly. This was already hooliganism!
