Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Three: War-Free Cards
"Oh!"
In the western border of the Chu Kingdom, Xiao Ye, who was directing the Chu army to attack the city, sneezed for no reason.
He rubbed his nose and then waved his hand to drive away all the pesky mosquitoes around him.
There are a lot of thunderbolts at the border, and there are a lot of enemies to kill. The only drawback is that there are a lot of mosquitoes.
Especially for an outsider like him who has lived in the capital for a long time, he is simply the focus of mosquitoes. Once he arrives here, these mosquitoes will always hang around him.
A few days ago, his wrists were covered in pimples from unknown mosquito bites.
Toilet water didn't work, so I finally had an old military doctor apply medicine for ten days before it went away.
[I was really bitten when I was traveling back then]
These days, mosquitoes even bully outsiders!
Are there any laws of heaven?
At first, he didn't believe that someone could die because he was not acclimated to the soil. They were all Chu people traveling on our Chu country's land. How could such a thing happen?
But now he kind of believes it.
Just one mosquito caused him extensive torture, and he didn't know what he would encounter in the future.
…
The wall of the border city of Zhou Kingdom finally collapsed after being blasted by their thunderbolts for so long.
But there was only one piece, and the army could not rush up. However, the crossbows on the city wall had been blown to pieces, and the enemy troops who dared to climb up the city wall to defend were also killed one after another.
The thunder from the sky poured down like a downpour, and no one could withstand it.
Under the cover of Zhentianlei's firepower, the siege cones were continuously hit against the city gate.
He wanted to break open the heavy city gate with sandbags piled behind it so that the army could attack the city.
Due to the special location of the city gate and the throwing problem of the catapult, the thunderbolt cannot be thrown in front of the city gate. If you want to open the city gate, you still need a siege cone.
At this moment, a man suddenly climbed up the city wall under gunfire and hung a big wooden sign on the city wall.
At the same time, the artillery fire also stopped.
Even the siege cone is in stop motion.
Xiao Ye frowned in confusion: "Why don't you fight?"
When the commander of the four guards saw this scene, he cupped his fists towards Xiao Ye and said, "Report to His Highness the Crown Prince that the other party has issued a no-war card."
The opponent has a no-fight card, and according to the rules, they cannot continue fighting today.
Xiao Ye was startled and asked: "Is it true that you can't use any force if you hang up the exemption card?"
The four guards of the same age replied: "Your Highness, according to the rules, this is the case."
Xiao Ye said: "Bring me my bow and arrows."
The commander of the four guards immediately ordered someone to fetch a long bow, then handed it to Xiao Ye, and then handed him an arrow.
Xiao Ye bent his bow and nocked an arrow, first aimed at the battle-free card, then moved the bow up to a certain angle, and finally shot the arrow.
After a few breaths, the arrow formed an arc and hit the no-war sign hung by the Zhou soldiers on the city.
The battle-free card fell to the ground.
The commanders of the Four Guards couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this scene. His Highness could be hit with an arrow from this distance. His Highness's riding and archery skills were actually so advanced?!
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that His Royal Highness actually shot away the war-free sign hanging on Zhou Guocheng?!
This is the first time in the more than sixty years since the founding of the Chu Kingdom that someone dared to be so bold!
After Xiao Ye shot away the war-free card, he looked at the stunned commanders of the four guards and asked, "Have you also read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu?"
The commander of the four guards said truthfully: "I have studied it several times."
Xiao Ye glanced at him: "Have you read Sun Tzu's Art of War? Do you still believe this?"
After saying that, Xiao Ye ignored the commanders of the four guards, drew out his sword, and said: "Da Chu's subordinates obey the order! He has no free cards in the Zhou Kingdom City. Keep fighting. Don't stop the thunder. Five rounds of thunder."
One round of kerosene, don’t mess up the order, cover the siege cones and continue to hit the city gate.”
If you say we won't fight, I won't fight. Where will I put my face?
Are you despising me?
Then keep blasting!
…
At the same time, in Liuzhou city
Round after round, shadow guards went up to compete, some from the same battalion and some from different battalions.
Whenever they encountered different camps, Wei Xiong and Wei Heng who were sitting in their seats could not help but lean forward and dig in with their fists. Looking at it, they were more nervous than the shadow guards who were competing in the field.
After more than 20 rounds of competition, Wei Xiong and Wei Heng were almost the same as the last men standing in the camp, and Wei Heng even had a slight tendency to overtake them.
The people present now, whether they are the casual cultivators or the big sects of the martial arts who are watching, can't help but be stunned as they watch the competitions one after another on the ring.
Especially the five leaders.
Originally, they added the martial arts small sects of martial arts to the outside world just to convey the fairness of the martial arts conference to the outside world. Since the entire martial arts conference is included, of course it is not just for the five major sects of the martial arts.
Of course, this also allows them to better select outstanding disciples, and it is also to let the disciples of their respective sects shine and show the people in the world which sect is the most powerful.
In the end, the martial arts leader will still be born among the five leaders. They never thought that the martial arts leader will be born among the casual cultivators.
But now this martial arts competition has far exceeded their expectations. These martial arts practitioners are stronger than each other...
Especially the two people in the first scene made the leaders like them quite frightened.
Some even drew disciples from their own sects.
…
Another competition was over. Ming Qi looked at the two people walking down and continued to say: "Next round, two and seven!"
After Ming Qi finished speaking, Xiao Ruxue stood up. She was number 217.
Xu Qing also stood up and patted Xiao Ruxue on the shoulder, saying: "Be careful, the Shadow Guard has been on the battlefield."
Xiao Ruxue nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
After that, Xiao Ruxue walked down and came to the ring. She wanted to see who the shadow guard was today's victim.
The shadow guard who was facing off against Xiao Ruxue twitched for a long time before he stood up and walked from where he was sitting to the ring with a complicated look on his face...
He is facing off against Princess Yongle, how to fight?
Xiao Ruxue drew her sword and looked at the shadow guard and said, "Let's take action!"
The shadow guard took a deep breath, then raised his foot, but his left foot "accidentally" stepped on his right foot, and he immediately fell forward and landed on his face.
In the end, Shadow Guard, who lay straight on the ground, stubbornly stretched out a hand: "I lost..."
Xiao Ruxue's eyes widened when she saw this scene. What the hell is this?
She...she just drew her sword!
How could this be possible...
Shadow Guard No. 27 was carried back to his seat. Xiao Ruxue returned to her seat glumly, her little feet in white boots squirming restlessly on the ground. It was obvious that she was unhappy because she was defeated.
Xu Qing rubbed her head, although he had guessed that the shadow guard would not dare to fight against Xiao Ruxue, who was Princess Yongle, and might give up after a few moves.
But this result was something he didn't expect. He stepped on the right foot with his left foot and fell down to admit defeat...
It hurt so much to fall straight on the ring like that, and your nose was bleeding, right?
The Shadow Guards are all ruthless people...
Be ruthless to your enemies, be ruthless to yourself... too!
