Looking at the vigorous Gong Yangjin, the Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty smiled and said: "I wonder what the young hero Gong Yang is going to perform?" His tone was quite expectant.
Others were also curious, and some secretly speculated that it was necessary to perform martial arts?
Facing the majestic and probing gazes of the officials, Gong Yangjin's expression did not change, and his momentum even showed signs of improvement. He smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, the common people are going to perform a performance of falling feathers into paintings."
"What does it mean to become a painting after falling feathers?" This was not only the doubt of the Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but also the doubt of everyone present.
I saw Gong Yangjin raised his head and looked up at the sky. It was a dark winter day, the sun was hidden behind the dark clouds, and the sky was dark. In the silence, a group of migrating birds flew past a hundred meters above.
Gong Yangjin suddenly gave a deep shout, the sound was like thunder, but it was not harsh.
With his body as the center, everyone saw a transparent wave escaping upwards at an astonishing speed, suddenly spreading over hundreds of meters in the air and passing through flocks of birds.
It was only then that everyone was shocked to discover that this transparent wave was like a giant sword a hundred meters long, disappearing in a flash.
next moment!
The bird flew away gracefully, but one feather fell off on the spot. It was blown by the wind, but under the remaining force of the knife, it did not deviate from the trajectory, but fluttered and landed in front of Gong Yangjin.
There was an uproar at the scene.
For most officials, the world of martial arts is too far away. This is the first time they have seen the tricks of martial arts masters. With just a loud shout, they can cut off the feathers of a bird hundreds of meters high, which is really shocking.
Some martial arts masters at the scene, and even the palace guards, had their pupils shrink slightly in response to Gong Yangjin's blow.
Such a strong sword intention! It means that this person has an extremely deep understanding of sword skills. Looking at the world of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there are no more swordsmen with such sword intention than the number of hands.
Many of the queens and concubines covered their mouths with their pretty eyes wide open. The palace maids were even more dumbfounded. Some women who liked bravery felt their hearts beating so fast that they could not control themselves.
The Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty was shocked at first, and then his eyes froze, and he suddenly stared blankly in front of Gong Yangjin. After a moment, a gloomy look suddenly flashed across his face.
Noticing His Majesty's expression, everyone subconsciously looked at the fallen feathers, and then everyone was stunned.
"Gongyang Jin, you are so brave!" An old man shouted angrily as his body trembled with excitement.
It turned out that the fallen feathers in front of the male sheep actually formed a picture, which looked very much like a deer shot by a bow and arrow.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying in the world about chasing deer in the Central Plains, which is a metaphor for war in troubled times.
As a subordinate of Qi Yuanhao, Gong Yangjin made such a painting in public, which clearly hinted at the imminent chaos in the world. On a deeper level, it threatened the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. If the Eastern Zhou Dynasty did not send troops to help the Northern Qi, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty would sooner or later be involved in the war.
.
All the first-class figures present here instantly understood what Gong Yangjin, or Qi Yuanhao, meant, and they all jumped up and pointed the finger directly at Qi Yuanhao.
Qi Yuanhao sat upright in his seat, gently twirling his wine glass, with an unpredictable smile on his lips. He was unfazed by honor and disgrace, and seemed to turn a blind eye to the situation in front of him.
Such a reaction made the officials of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty feel even more depressed. They secretly thought that the Northern Qi Prince had a deep scheming mind. His Majesty wanted to use the banquet to express his attitude and force the other party, but in the end, the other party used an excuse to rebel against his army.
If today's incident is spread, let's not say whether it will have any impact on the alliance. But at least one thing is that Qi Yuanhao stepped on His Majesty and promoted the power of Northern Qi and himself, and the entire Eastern Zhou Dynasty became his background!
This was something intolerable, but the officials knew that their angry rebuke would only appear incompetent, so they stopped talking one by one and thought about ways to break the situation.
"Ignorant boy, let me change this painting for you." A shout rang out, and a rough-looking man emerged from the desk on the left. He jumped more than twenty feet and rushed like a thunderous wind.
Entered towards the ram.
Judging from his momentum and Qinggong, he is also a master at the level of the Star Ranking.
Before the voice could finish, the rough man's five fingers formed into claws, grabbing the fallen feather on the ground from a distance, trying to change its shape. However, a blade of sword energy suddenly slashed out, not only cutting off the rough man's claws, but also continuing to slash quickly.
Towards his waist.
The strong man exerted force on his waist, his body froze slightly in mid-air, and then he suddenly flashed to the right. The claws hidden behind his back popped out with force like a rocket launcher, and rolled up boundless light, causing a loud rumbling sound to be heard all over the place.
As soon as the figure flashed, Gongyang Chu appeared in front of Qi Jin. He stood firm on his feet, used his arms as a knife, and slashed forward suddenly. He only saw the bright white light of the knife fleeting, and then his claws were divided into two, easily killing him.
was torn apart.
However, the claw strength also contains a second level of strength. Unexpectedly, the male sheep only had time to block with his arms, and the whole person was smashed away.
"good!"
Cheers erupted from the scene.
Many people looked at the veteran minister on the left. They recognized this rough man as the chief bodyguard that the Prime Minister had accepted many years ago. He had successfully protected the Prime Minister many times and was specially invited by His Majesty to attend the banquet this time.
"Mu Feng knows that this person is Yang Batian of Jingshenzhao." Zhuo Mufeng was looking at it in awe, when Le Qian on the side suddenly said something.
Yang Batian?
Zhuo Mufeng suddenly understood. If he remembered correctly, the opponent was a master in the previous Tianxing Ranking. He once ranked 68th, but he suddenly disappeared many years ago. It turned out that he was with a high-ranking official of the imperial court.
We haven't seen each other for many years. Yang Batian's martial arts is at least better than before. No wonder he can make Gong Yangjin suffer a big loss.
However, Zhuo Mufeng knew that this was also related to the confiscation of Gong Yangjin's sword. Without a sword, a swordsman's strength dropped by at least 30%. On the other hand, being able to block Yang Batian with his bare hands further proved Gong Yangjin's extreme martial arts.
high.
The cheers here just started, Yang Batian clapped his hands quickly, his heavy claws were as strong as the wind, and the heavy rain poured down, shrouding the ram with an extremely dense force. For a while, the ram stepped forward and retreated, and there was a lot of energy around it.
Pass him and roll towards the falling feathers behind him.
Everyone present watched all this closely, seeing that the pattern of fallen feathers was about to change.
A flash of anger flashed in Gong Yangjin's eyes, and the power of his sword suddenly changed, turning into tiny blades of light that cut around, making the sound of broken vines.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gong Yangjin quickly retreated, then clenched his hands tightly, and the sword force all over his body extended from the palm of his hand, forming a transparent ten-foot-long sword light, and slashed forward with force.
pound!
The void exploded, but Yang Batian was worthy of the veteran masters of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He used the body-protecting Qi to travel against the current, solidified his claws, and created two channels in the sword Qi.
Gong Yangjin took a deep breath, held the knife in both hands unchanged, and continued to swing the knife calmly.
The previous sword energy was offset by the strength of the claws, and Yang Batian was able to rush forward. Now he was directly facing the sword energy, and even he was frightened, so he had to steady his body and fight with the strength of his claws.
pound……
Explosions sounded again and again. Both sides were in a state of anxiety. One kept trying to bully them, and the other resisted desperately with sword skills. No one could do anything about the other.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yang Batian was already at a disadvantage. Even though Gong Yangjin had no sword in his hand, he still couldn't take down this rising star. The even situation was just a fig leaf for Yang Batian and Dong Zhou.
Yang Batian's face turned green and red, and he tried his best to attack. However, Gong Yangjin's reaction was too fast, leaving him no chance to destroy the falling feather pattern.
In desperation, Yang Batian chose to take a desperate risk. He leaned back and deliberately sold a flaw, intending to exchange injuries for injuries. As long as he destroyed the falling feather pattern, it didn't matter if he lost some face.
A flash of ridicule flashed in Gong Yangjin's eyes, and his waving hands suddenly paused in mid-air, and then tilted upwards. The sword flashed forward and slashed backwards.
"not good!"
Yang Batian didn't expect Gong Yangjin to see through his own plan. It should be known that this kind of on-the-spot response is the most test of a warrior's vision and control. In both aspects, Gong Yangjin is the best that Yang Batian has ever seen.
A genius.
Seeing that he couldn't change his moves, Yang Batian had no choice but to grit his teeth and cross his arms to block in front of him.
With a loud noise, Yang Batian groaned and fell back more than ten feet. His sleeves were torn into rags, his arms were dripping with blood, and his body shook a few times before he stood still.
"Thank you for your advice." Gong Yangjin clasped his fists.
Yang Batian was in a daze. Warriors are respected by their strength, and the opponent's strength is obviously stronger than his own. Yang Batian no longer has the confidence to put on airs, and said with emotion: "Your Excellency is indeed the number one young swordsman in Northern Qi. Yang admits his failure."
He flew back to the Prime Minister and whispered something, his face full of guilt and self-blame. The old Prime Minister just sighed and seemed to comfort him a few words.
Many people knew the origin and power of Yang Batian. Seeing such great masters being defeated by Gong Yangjin without a sword, everyone was greatly shocked.
Just at this moment, Qi Yuanhao stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is just a joke played by Yuan Hao's little brother. You must not take it seriously. Ah Jin, please apologize to Your Majesty!"
Gong Yangjin immediately turned around, raised his hands to the Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty and said: "Your Majesty, the common people are reckless."
The other party's so-called apology not only did not ease the mood of the Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but instead made his face even more gloomy.
Just because Qi Yuanhao's words were very meaningful, he deliberately pointed out that Gong Yangjin was the younger brother, implying that Dong Zhou had bullied the younger with the big one. However, Dong Zhou still lost, which was equivalent to being embarrassed for the second time.
If older and more powerful masters are sent out later, even if they win, they will not be able to spread the power of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and will only further make Gongyang Jin famous.
But among his peers, who in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was Gong Yangjin’s opponent?
The Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty's face became increasingly ugly. He found that he had underestimated Qi Yuanhao's scheming, and the other party's simple words put him in an extremely embarrassing situation.
Everyone present looked worried, and the originally high atmosphere of the banquet suddenly fell to the bottom.
No one could have expected that today's situation would develop to this point. A mere young man from the Northern Qi Dynasty would actually force the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to move forward and retreat.
