Chapter 669: The duel of the East and West nobles

Hong Xiguan, who is proud of beauty and embracing beauty, suffered a headshot. A young aristocrat who was as handsome as Don Juan and as mighty as a god, with blond hair and wearing a dazzling gold patterned clothes, was accompanied by a group of young noblemen who were as handsome as Don Juan and as mighty as a god. The nobles approached the passionate Chinese and Western couples aggressively.

Maria broke free from official Hong Xi in a panic and exclaimed "Paldo, no!"

When Hong Xiguan was still inexplicable, the young nobleman named Pardo took off his thin silk gloves and threw it in front of Hong Xiguan!

Official Hong Xi knew the local folklore, and couldn't help laughing, "Want to fight me?"

Pardo fingered Maria and nodded, "Fight for her! Tomorrow morning, it will be here (the bullring)!"

"Okay, I accept your challenge," Hong Xiguan replied, "See you or leave!"

"See you or leave!" Pardo said slightly, and walked away surrounded by a group of his friends.

Maria stroked Hong Xiguan’s cheek sadly and said, “My love, don’t fight him. He is a soldier from a family and is good at playing with swords and guns. He has won three duels!”

"As a soldier, I never shy away from fighting. The slogan of our Southeast Army's army is, fight against the enemy!" Officer Hong Xi said loudly and authentically, standing up, his uniform being swollen by the developed muscles, and he showed his heroic spirit." Don't worry, I will defeat him!"

To be honest, his hands are itchy!

First of all, during the journey, I dealt with storms and waves, without fighting with anyone.

They are warships, and the forces and pirates along the way will not come to bite hard bones, so the guns are not used.

In terms of diplomacy, everyone is very friendly. Official Hong Xi wondered why everyone reached a treaty of friendship and trade instead of a treaty of alliance and mutual assistance.

Isn't it said that Portugal is at war with Spain?

Why don't they find labor and management, hoping that labor and management will stand on their side?

Later, no Hong Mao Fan country found him and wanted to sign an alliance and mutual assistance treaty. He felt that something was wrong, and finally came to the conclusion that the Hong Mao Fan countries were fighting and fighting, but they united together to prevent the yellow race from infiltrating. In the struggle of the white people.

Even, they are ready to jointly deal with Southeast Mansion!

This is a later story, now official Hong Xi is not afraid of challenges.

But the father of the girl in his arms was scared. The Minister of State of the Kingdom of Spain, Santos, visited King Philip IV overnight and said, "The Minister of Finance, the Marquis Fernando’s son, Viscount Pardo, and the Special Envoy of the East, will fight tomorrow. We should stop their duel, so as not to Affect our interests in Asia!"

"Are you worried that the Southeast Mansion will fight us because of Hong?" Philip IV gently shook the gold cup, the rum in the cup exuded a refreshing aroma, he lazily said, "Don't worry, you just have to do it well. The procedure of the duel, so that the Chinese can't fault it!"

"I want to see if their Chinese are as useful as the force they show!" Philip IV said cunningly.

Santos understood that from the small to the big, Philip IV wanted to test the Southeast Mansion, but it was too risky to go directly to the war, so let’s take a look at a small matter. If the performance of the Chinese officers is very poor, then the test of the Southeast Mansion Even if the offensive comes one after another, if you show bravery, then you might as well cooperate with the Southeast Mansion.

As a proud king, Philip IV was not willing to let Asians earn his advantage.

Early the next morning, the bullring became lively, and Santos appointed his assistant Fabregas to arrange the duel.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, the southeast officers arrived first, and they stepped onto the field in neat steps, followed by the arrival of Viscount Pardo and his friends.

In addition to the duelists, there are notaries, their friends and doctors. The Southeast Fleet sent medics, and Viscount Pardo also brought me doctors.

Apart from that, there is no one else.

As for Miss Maria, she stayed at home and kept praying, waiting for God's decision. She was very worried, after all, she wanted to come to God to bless Viscount Pardo.

Fabregas said, "Please, two distinguished gentlemen, what weapons do you plan to use for a duel? We can provide you with them. Of course, you can also use your weapons."

"As the party proposing a duel, the choice of weapons is left to them!" Pardo said very angrily.

"It's up to me?

Can I use Daguandao? "

Official Hong Xi thought, "Pistol!"

He grinned, showing his white teeth and smiled, "Pistol kills quickly!"

"Okay, then pistol!" Pardo agreed.

"So, do you use your own pistols, or do we provide them to you?" Fabregas asked, showing a batch of pistols.

"Our own!" Official Hong Xi said without thinking.

"I use my own too!" Pardo said.

"There are three notaries in total, I count one, and you have one each." Fabregas said.

On Pardo’s side, Mr. Juan, an assistant to the Marquis of the Finance Minister Fernando, served as the notary, while the official Hong Xi appointed Kostit as the notary.

Hosted by Fabregas, agreement signed by both parties

"This is a fair and just duel. The two sides agreed that the distance should be 20 steps, and the pistol should be perpendicular to the ground. Both sides are in position, and the two stand back to back, and each takes ten steps according to the number, and then they can decide to shoot quickly. If there is one party Attempts to shoot before the end of the count, we promise to immediately cancel the duel, and sentence the offender to lose. The choice of the signaler and the location are determined by a lottery. We both agree to involve Viscount Pardo Fernando Barmond and Hong Xi The honourable duel of the general officer will abide by the above regulations."

First Hong Xiguan and Pardo signed their names and pressed their fingerprints.

Fabregas, who was drawn by the lottery, called the number from one to ten.

Hong Xiguan and Pardo first went back to back, and took ten steps as they counted. When they reached the tenth step, they turned around and shot.

"Bah!"
