Even though he was facing the crown prince of Chu State, Qiu Yu still refused to be outdone and retorted: "It's just you, are you worthy?"
Whether he was the former General Zhenxi or the current Crown Prince, Zhu Yan had a noble status. He had never been treated like this before. He got angry and shouted, "I will destroy you right now!"
Qiu Yu said coldly: "I'm afraid of you, why do you want to fight?"
Both Qiu Yu and Zhu Yan are rare young talents in their country. Now they are quarreling in the main hall of the Qin State. The civil and military officials around them quickly tried to persuade them, "You two, please calm down. Using force is not in good taste. Let's
Or have a drink? ? ”
"The marriage matter is easy to discuss, don't hurt the harmony..."
Zhu Yan said angrily: "No, this prince can't swallow this bad breath. He must be punished. Your Yan country is so weak, what qualifications do you have to snatch Princess Qingxin from me?"
This guy's repeated provocations made Qiu Yu angry, and said in a deep voice: "Bullshit, you will know if you are weak or not after a fight. If you are capable, let's send a few of us to fight."
This move played into Zhu Yan's heart, and he said gloomily: "Well, let's just talk about winning or losing. If anyone loses, give up proposing to Princess Qingxin. Do you dare?"
Qiu Yu thought that this was a feasible method, and might have the hope of disrupting the marriage between Huang, Chu and Qin, so he gave it a go. He snorted coldly: "I'm afraid of you, why don't you dare."
Zhu Yan was even more happy in his heart. His sinister eyes fell on Qiu Yu and the four followers behind him. He felt that the opportunity was not to be missed. The other entourage looked very inconspicuous, but the people standing behind him were all brave.
A strong man should have an advantage in terms of strength.
With an idea in his mind, he said loudly: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's start the war now. There are five people on your side, and we will have five more people on our side. There will be a one-on-one duel later. The side with more wins and fewer losses will win."
You are qualified to propose marriage, do you have the courage?"
Qiu Yu said solemnly: "I am happy to accompany you."
The civil and military officials were stunned. The banquet was not over yet, and the two sides were about to fight to obtain the qualifications to propose marriage. What should we do?
King Qin has been paying attention to the dynamics of both parties, but he thinks this is a good idea. After all, both Yan and Chu have come to propose marriage. King Yan and the prince of Chu are both young talents. It is not an injustice for Princess Qingxin to marry them. The important thing is to be able to form an alliance with them.
It is of great benefit to the Qin State, but no matter who refuses, it will offend them and leave a legacy of disaster. What Zhu Yan proposed just solves the problem. One party will definitely lose and lose the qualification to seek marriage, which has nothing to do with me.
The emperor's family considered more about the country and the country. Since the King of Qin was like this, he never thought about his daughter's feelings. He decided to choose one of the Chu or the Yan to become his in-laws, so that the Qin Empire would be more stable and stand in the Shenmang Continent for generations to come.
.
After careful consideration, King Qin said: "Since you have made an agreement, it can be regarded as a solution to the problem. I agree, but both of you must abide by your promise and not break it."
Zhu Yan and Qiu Yu said in unison: "I understand."
King Qin nodded, "Then go to the arena. The place is large and suitable for you to perform."
The banquet ended. After a while, the vermilion gate of the imperial city opened, and the honor guard came out first. The officers and soldiers in golden helmets rode on yellow geldings, holding gold melons, golden axes and other utensils. Behind them were dragons, horses and beasts carrying the King of Qin, following behind them.
Along with the civil and military officials, thousands of imperial guards waiting outside performed their escort duties and headed towards the arena.
There is a huge arena in the northwest corner of Kyoto, where fights between slaves and monsters were often staged to please the princes and nobles. Now it has become a place for battles between Yan and Chu.
Dozens of hollow bronze pillars were erected around the arena, with wood burning inside. The flames spread from the top, forming huge torches, which reflected the bright lights in the arena.
King Qin is sitting in an exclusive position in front, with dozens of old men in green shirts standing beside him. There is no doubt that these are extremely powerful men who are responsible for protecting the monarch.
Hundreds of civil and military officials stood on both sides, and the prime minister and other high-ranking officials formed a judging panel. From the Yan State, five people were sent to fight, namely Qiu Yu and four followers. From the Chu State, the crown prince Zhu Yan did not go out personally and ordered his five generals to compete with them.
.
Even though the followers around Qiu Yu were inconspicuous, they were all strong men from the Immortal Sword Sect, and they were definitely very capable. This was why he gladly accepted the challenge.
In the first game, the Yan State sent an old man, Shao Yingfan, to face the Chu State’s capital, Li Mingbo. The two sides walked to the court and stood down, looking at each other.
A black armor covered Li Mingbo's burly body. A fierce light flashed in his eyes. He looked at the old man opposite him with disdain. He waved his hand and showed his weapon, but it was a mace covered with spikes. He said viciously:
"Old fellow, if you are smart, you should admit defeat quickly, otherwise the sword has no eyes. If you are hit by this general's heavy club, I am afraid you will either die or be injured."
This kind of momentum alone is praised by people, and many officials feel that this fierce general is so majestic that he should be able to easily defeat the opponent and win this match.
Shao Yingfan, who was over sixty years old, was thin and had a dull expression. He said calmly: "Since it is a martial arts competition, some injuries are inevitable. General, just use your true skills. If this old man loses his life, he will not complain."
As soon as he finished speaking, a green sword appeared as he waved his left hand. In an instant, his whole body was filled with fierce murderous aura, as if a sharp blade was unsheathed, which made people look at him with admiration.
All the civil and military officials were surprised. Something was wrong. It seemed that this old man was by no means an ordinary person and should not be underestimated!
King Qin's eyes also lit up, and he thought to himself, what will follow should be a fierce battle, it's worth watching!
As the Prime Minister of Qin loudly said: "The first game begins now," Li Mingbo roared and rushed over like a beast out of the cage. The smoke stick weighing more than a hundred kilograms swung, and its sharp edge was prominent, sweeping like a strong wind.
Go, as if to break the old man into pieces.
Such a fierce offensive made many onlookers widen their eyes, feeling so fierce. The crown prince of Chu State, Zhu Yan, had a proud look on his face. He looked at Qiu Yu with contemptuous eyes, as if provoking with his eyes. How about it? There is no weak person under my command.
Defeating you is easy.
However, what surprised him was that Qiu Yu still had a calm face without any surprise, and a look of indifference flashed in his eyes, as if he had known something for a long time.
Looking at the scene again, Shao Yingfan moved as fast as a wild crane. A whistle seemed to break through the sky. As he waved his treasure armor, a waterfall formed by water appeared in front of him. It was extremely lifelike and spectacular. It blocked the incoming sharp edge and had amazing defensive power.
.
Seeing this scene, many people were shocked. It was obvious that this old man was also in the state of harmony and was definitely not inferior to the generals of Chu State. It seemed that it was not certain who would win.
"Bang!"
The sound came out and the water splashed. Shao Yingfan blocked the opponent's attack with ease. Then he made a sword technique with his left hand and stabbed with the long sword in his right hand. The waterfall changed again, forming a river and setting off a stormy wave rushing towards the opponent. It was simply shocking.
