The arena has been set up in front of the Qinzheng Palace. Xiao Ruxue had already eaten a full rabbit feast at noon, and was now fully capable of fighting.
Long Bing'er also put on a tight-fitting black dress with narrow sleeves, which was more convenient for martial arts competitions.
The black clothes were woven from Yun brocade, perfectly displaying Long Bing'er's proud figure. A high ponytail was tied behind her head, and she held a long sword with a black wood sheath in her hand.
The long sword is in the style of a Han sword and looks majestic when held in the hand.
If you add a suit of armor, you will become a heroic female general.
After Xiao Ruxue, who was holding hands with Su Qian and saying this, walked onto the stage, Su Qian returned to Xu Qing's right and sat down.
There was no special place for women to sit in the competition outside the arena, so Su Qian sat next to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing looked at Su Qian and said, "Madam, do you think Xue'er will win?"
Su Qian shook her head and said, "It's hard to say. Although Xue'er has made great progress these days, the deputy envoy of Zhao State also has excellent skills. Besides, Xue'er..."
Xu Qing asked: "What's wrong with Xue'er?"
Su Qian said: "Xue'er is two years younger than the deputy envoy of Zhao State, so Xue'er has no advantage."
At this moment, King Xian came over and sat down on the left side of Xu Qing. He was playing with two small steel balls with strange shapes in his hands. They were not round but not square. They seemed to require a lot of skill to forge them.
Xu Qing looked at King Xian who was sitting next to him, then at Emperor Chu who was sitting alone on a high platform and the empty seat next to Emperor Chu. He couldn't help but said: "My lord, are you sitting in the wrong seat?"
?”
The wise king said while playing with the small steel ball in his hand: "You are in a better position."
Is he in a better position?
Xu Qing obviously didn't believe it.
The high platform specially built for Emperor Chu and King Xian to watch the battle was further away and higher than his current position. His sight was not restricted. Sitting on the high platform, he could have an overview of the whole situation at a glance.
Definitely the C position in the audience!
Moreover, by sitting there, he was simply one level higher than the officials present, which also symbolized his extraordinary status.
The current position has no benefit at all except being closer to the arena.
On the stage
Different from Long Bing'er's black clothes, Xiao Ruxue is dressed in green clothes, which looks lively and recognizable. She holds a snow-colored long sword in her hand, which is quite similar to the one she gave to Su Qian.
Wonderful, they look like sister swords.
With the sound of gongs symbolizing the start of the competition, Long Bing'er pulled out the long sword in his hand and observed Xiao Ruxue's every move with concentration, not looking down on Xiao Ruxue at all because of his young age.
Neither side made a move rashly, but kept moving their feet and observing each other's movements.
Finally, at a certain moment, the lively and active Xiao Ruxue could no longer hold back and rushed forward first.
However, Xiao Ruxue did not attack recklessly. She first used an initial move from the swordsmanship she had practiced.
Although this move is only for swordsmanship, it can be used offensively or defensively in endless variations, so it is perfect for testing.
When Long Bing'er saw Xiao Ruxue's long sword attack, he immediately blocked it with his sword, and the battle between the two began.
For a time, the entire square in front of the temple was filled with the sound of gold and iron.
The swords on both sides were going back and forth, and it was extremely fierce.
It is said that the only martial arts in the world is fast, and this is absolutely true.
The swords of Long Bing'er and Xiao Ruxue on the stage were getting faster and faster, and Xu Qing's eyes could only catch the shadows of the swords.
At this moment, he finally accepted the reality that he could not beat Xiao Ruxue.
With such a fast sword move, if he had been the one to go up, he would probably have been chopped into pulp, right?
I have to make up for it quickly in the past two days. After I make up for it, I can continue to practice. Suddenly I feel that this world is very dangerous.
Just when Xu Qing was stunned by the shadow of the sword on the ring, Su Qian on the side said: "Xue'er is no match for the deputy envoy of Zhao State, we will lose."
Xu Qing turned his head and looked at Su Qian, his expression full of confusion. How could the lady see such a quick sword shadow?
After watching it for a long time, I always felt that the two of them were evenly matched!
The little girl is about to lose now?
How high is this lady’s skill?
At this moment, the Xian Wang on the side suddenly threw out two steel balls, one hit the tip of Long Bing'er's sword, and the other hit the body of Xiao Ruxue's sword.
The swords of both men moved in opposite directions at the same time, and the two men who reacted stopped at the same time.
The wise king stood up and said: "Xue'er, come down, you lose."
Xiao Ruxue held a sword in her hand and said clearly unconvinced: "How can my daughter lose?"
The Xian Wang looked at Xiao Ruxue who refused to admit defeat and said: "The sword just now didn't take half a breath to reach your throat, but your sword was attacking and it was difficult to defend, and your body was moved forward by the sword's inertia.
, that sword, Xueer, can you dodge it?"
"I..." The Xian King lowered his head after listening to the Xian King's words and shook the sword in his hand: "Okay, okay... I lost..."
The Xian Wang could tell that Long Bing'er's last sword was already withdrawing its strength, and even if he didn't stop it, Xiao Ruxue would most likely not be harmed.
But his daughter feels sorry for herself, and the wise king does not dare to gamble. It is not just a matter of saying that the sword has no eyes in the ring.
The wise king could not bear to have his daughter harmed at all.
After Xiao Ruxue lost, she put her sword back into the scabbard and came down from the ring dejectedly. The Xian Wang had already stood up and was ready with words of comfort, just waiting for his daughter to come over.
Seeing Xiao Ruxue getting closer and closer, Xian Wang had a comforting and loving smile on his face, and even opened his arms.
Just when King Xian was ready, Xiao Ruxue threw herself directly into the arms of Su Qian, who had just stood up.
The wise old father's smile and his outstretched hand suddenly froze in mid-air.
Xiao Ruxue held Su Qian with both hands and said with a hint of crying in her voice: "Sister Su, I...I lost...I lost..."
Su Qian hugged Xiao Ruxue, patted Xiao Ruxue's back with one hand, and patted her head with the other, comforting her: "Okay, okay, don't cry. Deputy Ambassador Zhao is two years older than you, and he is also older than Xue."
If you train for two more years, if you are of the same age, it is not certain who will win."
Xu Qing looked at the Xian Wang's hand stretched out in the air, and couldn't help but said: "My lord, why don't you put your hand down, it looks very embarrassing..."
The wise king: "..."
…
Long Bing'er, who was on the stage, had also walked off the stage.
The happiest thing about Long Bing'er's victory was that it was Zhao Guozheng's role. The deputy commander Long was not the daughter of General Long. Her martial arts skills were truly extraordinary, and she got off to a good start in the first game.
Zhao Guozheng, who finally concealed his smile, looked at the Emperor of Chu sitting on the high platform, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I wonder who will fight in the next battle from your country?"
Su Qian pressed Xiao Ruxue on the seat, stood up straight and said:
