"Your Highness!" Seeing Liu Chong being so straightforward in front of everyone, Man 'er could not help but say shyly. During this period of time, their relationship had been rapidly warming up. Although Liu Chong still insisted on living alone in the study, he would occasionally show some admiration for her. The true feelings that were revealed from time to time made her truly feel the sweetness of love.
"Haha! I'll return it to you! The fragrant handkerchief is going to become a smelly handkerchief!" Seeing Man 'er's shy look, Liu Chong felt a sweetness in his heart. He laughed and returned the handkerchief to her.
Through this period of training, his self-recovery plan was finally completed. Now, Liu Chong felt that his body was full of explosive strength. He decided to find someone to test the results of his training. Of course, as his guard captain, Zhang Ping could only play this role.
"Little Cabinet, go and ask Zhang Ping to gather the guards and bring them to the school grounds. Your Highness wants to test their martial arts!”Liu Chong ordered loudly.
"Yes, sir!"
The drill ground of the Prince's mansion was located in the open space in the front yard. It was usually the place where the guards practiced. The entire drill ground was rectangular in shape. There were weapon racks on both sides. There were all kinds of long and short weapons such as sabers, spears, swords, and halberds. However, these were only used for daily training. The guards usually had their own weapons. For example, the weapon of the guard captain Zhang Ping was the iron sword.
At this moment, under the leadership of Zhang Ping, the guards were lined up neatly on the drill ground. It was the first time that His Highness was going to test his martial arts skills on the drill ground. Therefore, those who were ambitious were thinking about how to show off in front of His Highness. If they could get His Highness 'favor, they would be promoted, which would be much better than being a guard for the rest of their lives. Even those who were not ambitious were also preparing to show their faces. It was not bad to get some reward. As for those who were usually lazy, they had to be on high alert. If his highness noticed anything, they might lose their jobs.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and they couldn't see anything on the surface. Even Zhang Ping was wondering what his highness was going to do. Suddenly, he gathered all the hundred people. He did not have to worry about anything. Unless he wanted to leave the Imperial Residence, his position was basically over. There was no need to show off. Of course, he was not one of those people who liked to slack off.
Watching over 100 guards of Lord's Mansion standing there in a small square matrix, Liu Chong nodded inside,'It seems that Zhang Ping is good at leading troops; otherwise, he could not train these guards so neatly.'
In the eyes of the guards, Liu Chong looked different. He was wearing a black suit, a warrior's scarf on his head, and a saber on his waist. This saber was different from the usual sabers. It looked much narrower. Some guards who had been to the frontier fortress immediately thought of the scimitars of the Xiongnu. The scimitars were also narrower, but the arc of the king's saber was not as big as the scimitar. In fact, this was a new type of saber that Liu Chong had specially forged for himself based on the characteristics of modern sabers and ancient weapons. It had a thick back and a sharp blade. It was suitable for chopping in horse battles and could also be used for stabbing in close combat. It was very suitable for special operations.
"Guardians, you must be wondering why I gathered everyone here at this time.”Liu Chong's dignified gaze swept across the faces of the guards. Those who were swept by his gaze stared at him curiously, waiting to see what reason he would give.
"Clang!" Liu Chong suddenly pulled out the long knife at his waist and waved it in the air a few times. The sound of the knife cutting through the air could be heard clearly, and the speed was shocking.
Of course, the ordinary guards couldn't see anything, but the eyes of the head guard Zhang Ping shot out a sharp light. In this short moment, he saw his lord brandish his sword no less than ten times. How fast was this saber technique? Zhang Ping asked himself, his highest level was only able to make ten sword attacks in one breath.
But now, this prince who was still a fat man a few months ago could already reach his level, or even higher. What terrifying changes had happened to his highness to make him so powerful? Could this be the effect of those messy machines? It was too terrifying! Zhang Ping made a decision for the whole incident.
Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, Liu Chong's loud voice sounded in his ear again,"I, I want to challenge you. Anyone who can defeat the saber in my hand will be rewarded with a thousand gold and ten times the salary! If you can't defeat me, then you have to follow me obediently and train according to my methods!”
Zhang Ping felt a sharp gaze following the loud voice and shooting straight at his face, as if it wanted to see through him.
"A daughter? Ten times the salary?" The guards were shocked by such a high reward. The crowd was no longer as calm as before. It was boiling with excitement. One thousand gold could make a person a small millionaire in an instant, and they would not have to worry for the rest of their lives. With such a high reward, no one was not tempted. Some of the anxious guards were already eager to give it a try. However, they still didn't dare to move. Their eyes were all fixed on Zhang Ping. After all, he was their superior. The habit of obedience that they had developed over the years made them involuntarily look at their superior to see what he would say.
Seeing that he had successfully aroused everyone's desire to win, Liu Chong was very satisfied. He had suddenly thought of such a high reward. He was imitating the story of Shang Yang's request for a reward. On one hand, he was tempting the guards with benefits so that when they accepted his orders in the future, they would be more determined to carry them out. On the other hand, he was confident that with his own ability, no one would be able to get this reward.
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone who wants to challenge me?" Liu Chong stared at Zhang Ping. Actually, he was the first opponent he wanted to challenge. As long as he defeated him, the other guards would not come up to humiliate themselves. If someone else came up, they could find talents among the guards.
Feeling the heated gazes of the crowd, Zhang Ping knew that as the leader of the crowd, if he didn't stand up and fight, he would lose the trust of the crowd. Moreover, he was eager to try the temperament of the master that the king had shown. The dignity of a warrior made him unable to remain silent.
"Your Highness, let me do it!" A penetrating voice suddenly sounded from the crowd, which immediately suppressed the boisterous voices of the guards. Everybody became quiet as they fixed their eyes on Zhang Ping.
Step after step, he walked very slowly, and his steps were filled with strength.
"I'm finally out!" Liu Chong nodded with satisfaction and looked at Zhang Ping with approval. At this moment, Zhang Ping showed the true temperament of a martial artist. He was calm and flamboyant, which was completely different from his usual submissive appearance.
