Chapter 289 : Prelude to the Great War
***************************** The first time I went to the "Heavy Recommendation", the pressure came immediately, but the pressure was also motivation.
Jinghui thanks everyone for his hard work. At the same time, he also hopes that all book friends will continue to work hard and continue to strongly support Xiaojing, so that Xiaojing will have unlimited motivation to continue!
Lu Zhanpeng bowed and said loudly: "Returning to Your Majesty, I believe that this sword fight between Xiao and Zhao is an exceptional move by Your Majesty to select talents for our Yuan Dynasty. No matter who wins or loses, Your Majesty is thirsty for talents and loves talents."
The Han people in the world will definitely know about the fate of the heart, but just because the Seventh Prince said "Heroes have been matched with beauties since ancient times", the saint is allowed to marry the girl. If this spreads to the world, the Han people in the world will still think that Your Majesty treats the Seventh Prince...?"
Xiao Yun secretly laughed in his heart: "Is it true that he is too old or is he too old? Lu Zhanpeng's last sentence seemed to be an understatement, but in fact it was a heavy bomb that exploded in the heart of Emperor Yuan Hui. Since ancient times, no emperor could be so generous to his ministers.
Even the good emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the past could not achieve this feat, let alone Emperor Yuan Hui, a foolish emperor?" Sure enough, Emperor Yuan Hui shook his body, squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, said "Oh",
: "Lu Aiqing's words make sense!"
Seeing that Emperor Yuan Hui was hesitant, the Seventh Prince was about to reply, but Lu Zhanpeng was the first to say, "We, the Han people, have always been a country of etiquette. We pay the most attention to etiquette. Weddings and funerals are subject to the words of the matchmaker and the orders of the parents."
How can we just rely on the Seventh Prince’s words and end the matter hastily?”
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the Seventh Prince snorted coldly and said: "Is it possible that Your Majesty is still unable to be such a matchmaker?"
Lu Zhanpeng's body was shaken, and Xiao Yun's body was also shaken. This sentence was more powerful than Lu Zhanpeng's previous words. If Emperor Yuan Hui was afraid of the Seventh Prince simply based on his words "Heroes match beauties", then Lu Zhanpeng
Isn't it clear that Emperor Yuan Hui did not dare to make such a matchmaking statement because he was afraid of Lu Zhanpeng? "
Emperor Yuan Hui obviously frowned, and suddenly said in a cold voice: "There is no need for you two Qings to quarrel. In my opinion, what the Seventh Prince said is reasonable. Since ancient times, heroes have been paired with beauties, and swords have been given to heroes. Xiao and Zhao are both among the best among men.
Dragon, if you can seize a beautiful woman with a sword, today's battle in the Jinluan Palace will be remembered for eternity. Just as the Seventh Prince said, the winner will not only serve as the vanguard of the Han people, but also marry the second young lady of the Lu family as his wife!"
As soon as Chrysostom opened his mouth, it was the saint. Even though Lu Zhanpeng was unwilling and did not dare to say anything, he could only glare at the Seventh Prince fiercely, thanked him, and sat down again.
Everyone didn't know what the two parties were doing, but judging from their expressions, the battle that was about to happen was definitely going to be very interesting, so whether they knew them or not, they all set their sights on Xiao and Zhao.
On the body.
Zhao Huan's face showed an uncontrollable joy. Just now he saw Xiao Yun's light steps and tired face. He saw the scene in the Jinluan Palace and knew that the Five Poison Powder in Xiao Yun's body had already taken effect. In a moment,
After that, all it takes is a fight, and from today on, the Han pioneers and the second young lady of the Lu family are his.
Xiao Yun had a calm look on his face. Although he didn't know what the Seventh Prince had planned, he couldn't lose this battle no matter what. He said that after today's test, he already knew that Lu Chuchu had a deep affection for him.
Ansheng thought that she couldn't bear for him to be sad about this, let alone how could such a beautiful woman be given away to others. Based on this alone, Xiao Yun made up his mind to fight to the end.
"Pat, pat, pat... pat...?" Pu Buhua, who was beside Emperor Yuan Hui, clasped his hands together and patted them gently, and the place suddenly became quiet.
Pu Buhua said: "The time has come, the competition begins!"
The crowd surged, and a large venue suddenly appeared in the huge scene. It was obvious that everyone had been looking forward to this competition for a long time.
Xiao Yun's face was sullen, and the original malaise was now more obvious. He glanced at the crowd, but saw that everyone was applauding Zhao Huan frequently and not even looking at Xiao Yun. It seemed that Xiao Yun was defeated immediately.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun smiled secretly in his heart: "Mother,
Lu Zhanpeng's diplomatic work has been really good. It seems that my ridiculous thing last night must have spread in everyone's ears!" Thinking of this, he sighed lightly and said, "Okay, I have to pretend.
, just pretend to the end! It’s just that my great reputation has been ruined in one day!”
Zhao Huan was sure of winning this battle, but he did not show the slightest sign of anxiety, simply because he still had one thing left to accomplish, which was the purpose of this battle... to kill Xiao Yun, how to kill Xiao Yun,
He had already made the calculation in his mind.
In the main hall, everyone was looking forward to it, waiting for the showdown between the two, but Zhao Huan's motionless body made everyone look a little baffled. Suddenly Zhao Huan turned around, walked to the feet of Emperor Yuan Hui, and knelt down with his legs.
On the ground, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, do you have another suggestion?"
Emperor Yuan Hui was obviously a little obsessed with Zhao Huan's good looks. He licked his lips slightly and said with a smile: "My dear, there is no need to be polite, just say what you say!"
Zhao Huan did not stand up, but still knelt on the ground: "Back to Your Majesty, as the saying goes: "The enemy and we have been divided. The way to kill the enemy is to fight with one's own life to show the way of life. If Your Majesty really wants to use the skills of a humble minister.
, How can we tie our hands and feet so that it is difficult for the ministers to use the sword? "
Everyone looked at Zhao Huan silently, seeming to be absorbed in these words. Even Xiao Yun also sighed secretly: "I don't see that this person has some knowledge... He is not useless...?"
Emperor Yuan Hui nodded and said loudly: "It is well said that the way of war is also the way of life and death. In this case, I will follow Ai Qing's instructions. During the competition, there will no longer be restrictions on the two of them. Each of them will have their own strength.
Give full play to your abilities, and live and die according to your destiny!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Huan was so happy that everyone could see the joy on his face. On the contrary, Xiao Yun's face was ashen, as if he had already half-stepped into the Palace of Hell.
Although Lu Zhanpeng knew that Xiao Yun was fine, he couldn't help but feel worried when he saw the joy on Zhao Huan's face.
"The competition begins...?" Pu Buhua shouted again at the top of her lungs.
The whole place was silent, and everyone's eyes turned to the two of them, waiting for the show to begin.
Zhao Huan's face was filled with joy. At this time, he stepped forward and slightly clasped his fists at Xiao Yun and said: "Today I am lucky enough to be able to compete with Master Xiao in front of him. It is really a great joy in life. However, the sword has no eyes and I accidentally injured him."
Mr. Xiao, I hope Mr. Xiao has a lot of knowledge and doesn't want to be as experienced as a lower official!" He expected that Xiao Yun would die under his sword today, so he spoke quite arrogantly and rudely.
Xiao Yun secretly cursed: "Damn it, how can a happy thing turn into a tragic thing in a moment?" But he laughed and said: "Master Zhao has excellent martial arts skills and three sword skills in one day. I believe no one can beat him! I don't want to be a low-ranking official."
Talent, if I lose to Mr. Zhao, I hope you will be merciful and let me go. If I am lucky enough to win one and a half moves from Mr. Zhao, I hope you will not take offense!"
The look on Zhao Huan's face changed when he heard "Three Unique Sword Techniques in One Day".
Xiao Yun sneered when he saw it: "Mother, I will let you know in a moment what it means that there is a sky outside the world, and there are people outside the world!"
Everyone saw that the two of them had not started fighting yet, and the flames were full. They couldn't help but feel excited and shouted. Xiao Yun laughed, and the expression on his face changed at this moment. He held the Zhanyue Sword in his right hand and made a request with his left hand.
His posture: "Master Zhao, please!"
Zhao Huan was stunned, obviously what happened was beyond his expectation, but he had already made up his mind that Xiao Yun had been poisoned by Wu Du Powder, and thought that Xiao Yun was just showing off, so he sneered and said: "Please
!"
"Qiang!"
Xiao Yun exerted force with his right hand, and the Zangetsu Sword at his waist jumped out of its scabbard, as if it had heard its master's call. It made a "zheng" sound, and a loud roar echoed in the air instantly.
The crowd cheered.
Not to be outdone, Zhao Huan stepped back with his feet, reached out with his right hand, and the long sword on his waist made the same "clang" sound and shot out of the air.
The shouts got louder and louder. Xiao Yun looked away and saw that in the crowded crowd, except for Lu Zhanpeng, Ru Zhongbai and a few other close friends, their expressions were grim. Others were shouting violently, almost falling into a trap.
Crazy, even Emperor Yuan Hui, who was sitting in the middle, showed joy on his face. He was obviously very satisfied with the formation of the two.
"Chu Chu, do you think the little brother will win?" Lu Zhanpeng looked at Xiao Yun standing in the center of the square, pulled Lu Chu Chusheng's jade palm and asked to himself.
Lu Chuchu was dressed in guard uniform, staring closely at Xiao Yun on the field, her eyes showing unprecedented confidence. She smiled faintly and said, "Brother Xiao will definitely win?"
Lu Zhanpeng glanced at his daughter in surprise, smiled knowingly, and sighed softly: "I hope so?"
