The moon sets and the sun rises, and it's a new day.
The sun has not yet appeared and it has just dawned. There are already hundreds of eunuchs and maids busy at Fengtai Square in front of the Qinzheng Hall in the palace for a long time.
An arena measuring more than twenty feet square was quickly set up, and was surrounded by a three-sided viewing platform. By the time the sun came out, the viewing platform had been set up, and it looked like it could accommodate a full three hundred people.
Today is a scene of "promoting mutual intimacy" between Nanyuan Kingdom and Huayue Shangguo. In the morning, Yang Sheng, as the emperor, will receive the envoys of Huayue Shangguo, as well as the accompanying ceremonial officials, in the Qinzheng Hall.
The wedding envoy will have a meal in the side hall at noon, drinking and talking.
The timing is the most important part of the spectacle: the competition.
The two parties competing are Princess Qingling of Nanyuan Kingdom and Princess Baowen of Huayue. The loser will become the victim of a small episode on this political stage. Even the people who come to watch the ceremony, including both parties, are actually not watching the two sides.
The princess itself is the winner or loser between the two countries.
The accumulation of wins and losses here has made the Nanyuan Kingdom's royal family feel bad. Their prestige is being eroded little by little. But if you want to resist, the price is high, and the end of really breaking up may be even worse.
It will be doomed immediately. Now it's just a matter of bearing the humiliation and bearing the burden to see if we can wait for a turn.
The seats on the three viewing platforms were quickly occupied as soon as Shen Shi arrived. The expressions on the faces of the people sitting there were all different. Some were angry, some had nothing to do with their expressions, and some were smiling and relaxed.
.These are all people from Nanyuan Kingdom.
As for the people from Huayue, it is even more interesting. They talk and laugh loudly, and even businessmen can be described as "arrogant" on such occasions. And facing the people from Nanyuan Kingdom who are also watching the ceremony, regardless of whether they are smiling or not,
They all chose to ignore it. Their attitude clearly showed how important the word "Shangguo" in Huayue Shangguo was.
The positions of the three-sided viewing platform are "left, right and lower". The upper position belongs to Emperor Yang Sheng of the Nanyuan Kingdom. There are two chairs. One is at the top, Yang Sheng's, and the other is below Yang Sheng's position.
Zhang Xu, given to the envoy of Huayue.
After the etiquette officer of Nanyuan Kingdom announced the rules of the competition, Princess Qingling, who put on a warrior robe and raised her long hair, took the stage first.
Although she has been hanging around the ring since she was a child and has fought nearly a thousand times, large and small, it is all different from today. Even the previous rings were all preparations for today. Princess Qingling took a deep breath and calmed down.
She was inevitably nervous, but she couldn't calm down the flames in her body that seemed to be burning more and more! Even her eyes began to glow slightly with red light.
Just now, before Princess Qingling came on stage, she burned a piece of paper in a corner where no one noticed, and mixed the ashes left after the paper was burned into a small bowl of strong liquor and drank it in one gulp.
Although she doesn't drink often, Princess Qingling has a good drinking capacity. This small bowl of strong liquor will not affect her competition. However, the heat that rises in her body after entering her throat and lasts for a long time makes her feel better.
Excited: Teacher Zhang didn’t lie to me! That piece of paper is indeed extraordinary!
This feeling is like a spark being suddenly thrown into a pile of dry firewood. It will not burst into flames, but it will slowly heat up until it becomes extremely violent!
Power! Princess Qingling has never felt such a surging state of power now. Every muscle, every ounce of blood and bone is looking forward to the most violent release.
Princess Qingling didn't know that Zhang Yan's piece of paper actually had a very powerful name: Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman.
This thing can be used in two ways, either stick it on the body to increase physical strength. Or burn it and swallow it with wine like Princess Qingling. The latter effect will be longer-lasting and better. On the contrary, swallowing the Yellow Turban Lux Talisman
The consequences are not small. After the effect of the talisman ends, the person will quickly fall into a weak state and lose most of his physical mobility.
So this Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman is not a very good talisman. At least this is the first time Zhang Yan has used it after learning it.
After standing on the ring and waiting for a moment, Princess Baowen of Huayue Kingdom also stepped onto the ring.
She was a tall girl with a stern face and a bit of coquettishness. She seemed to be about a year older than Princess Qingling and a bit taller. As soon as she came on stage, her eyes fell firmly on Princess Qingling.
.There is absolutely no sign of underestimating the enemy because of his higher level of cultivation.
There are two referees in the ring. The dean and judge of the Yuanding Imperial City Martial Arts Academy personally serve as judges. Their status is sufficient, and their cultivation is fully sufficient to deal with all dangerous accidents that may occur in the ring. For example, the life and death hand cannot be closed.
Depending on the situation, such as being disabled or disfigured. There are even more rules in this arena than in the arena outside.
Perhaps, in the eyes of some people, this is not a competition at all.
The two referees glanced at Emperor Yang Sheng who was sitting on the high platform in the middle. The latter nodded and had no intention of saying anything. So the two referees bowed and then took their respective positions.
"The competition begins!"
As soon as the first two words were uttered, the two people on the stage spread out their movements and moved. Like two flying birds flying quickly, their movements were light and agile, and even at such a fast speed, they could barely hear the footsteps.
Both of them are very conventional female warriors. The difference is that Princess Qingling holds a short sword as long as a ruler, while Princess Baowen opposite her holds two seven-inch daggers.
Naturally, a flexible and light weapon cannot be equipped with a long-handled or heavy weapon. Short weapons are definitely the first choice. But the choice of daggers is still two daggers. This is the most flexible and dangerous weapon. There is a saying that it is called "flying blade".
”.
A dagger versus a pair of flying blades would definitely be a close-quarters kill. Counting combat skills, it would be even more dangerous.
Of course, both of them are princesses, so they can't really fight hard. Moreover, the distance is too close, and sometimes the two referees can't stop it. Therefore, the weapons in their hands are also limited. There is no attack, but two dyes are applied.
.You can also make a distinction if it hits the target.
In less than ten breaths, the gap in the arena is obvious. They are all clever ways, and speed is naturally the first key. Princess Baowen's speed is two points faster than Princess Qingling.
In a real fight, life or death can be determined by just one point. In fact, this can also be used to determine victory or defeat in the ring.
Sooner or later, a dagger suddenly stabbed out from a tricky angle like a snake's kiss towards Princess Qingling's left rib. The speed and timing were perfectly timed. It was Princess Qingling who moved forward.
When the feet are floating and there is no room to change direction and dodge.
But at this critical moment, Princess Qingling's figure suddenly flashed, and a new force emerged from her feet, causing her forward speed to nearly double, and she was able to avoid it with her speed by just a hair.
That vicious stab.
"Huh? Princess Qingling just used the "Step", right? Isn't that a combat skill in the late Kaiyuan realm?"
"Hiss! It looks similar to me too, but isn't Princess Qingling in the middle stage of Kaiyuan Realm?"
