The next day.
In the drill ground of the Imperial Palace, all the civil and military officials of the court were summoned here by Li Er.
A huge arena was placed in the middle of the Drill Ground.
Everyone sat around the stands.
There were countless Imperial Army soldiers around.
In order to show Zhang Zhi's might, Li Er specially transferred the army of the Right Military Guards over to watch.
The people in the army naturally respected the strong. If these soldiers saw how powerful Zhang Zhi was, they would naturally be convinced by him!
"Generals, get ready. The martial arts competition is about to begin.”
Li Er's Imperial Attendant, Wang De, walked up to the arena and spoke to Hou Junji and Zhang Zhi.
Hou Junji immediately rushed up to the arena.
Wearing battle armor, with a treasured sword at his waist, and holding a Guan Dao in his hand, he walked up to the arena in an awe-inspiring manner.
Although Hou Junji was a bit narrow-minded, he was still a little narrow-minded.
However, his martial arts skills were still very strong.
"Brat! Hurry up and come up!"
"Let me see if you have the qualifications to sit on the right military guard general!？”
"If you can survive ten moves from me, you're barely qualified.”
"Otherwise…"
"You'd better go back to your clinic and treat your illness!”
"The army is not a place for a weak gigolo like you!”
Hou Junji pointed his saber at Zhang Zhi, his expression arrogant and his voice filled with mockery and contempt.
On the spectator stand.
Pei Ji looked at Hou Junji's arrogance and disdain for Zhang Zhi and stroked his white beard, a sinister smile on his face.
This method of killing with a borrowed knife was very successful!
Fight! Fight!
If Zhang Zhi was so easily defeated by Hou Junji in public, how would he have the face to assume the position of Right Guard Great General?？
Even if the Emperor forced him to take up the post, the soldiers of the Right Guards would not agree.
After all.
These iron-blooded elite soldiers would not allow a good-for-nothing to be their commander!
At this moment.
Pei Ji could not wait for the martial arts competition to begin.
He didn't believe that Zhang Zhixiang was a match for Hou Junji!
Pei Ji's heart was filled with pride, and he couldn't wait to see Zhang Zhi's humiliation at Hou Junji's defeat.
However...
He didn't notice that Li Er's face had already turned as black as the bottom of a pot, his cold gaze hovering between Pei Ji and Hou Junji!
Only he knew what was on his mind.
However, it was obviously not a good thing!
After Zhang Zhi had shown his talent, coupled with the fact that Zhang Zhi was his eldest son, Li Er almost regarded Zhang Zhi as his successor in his heart.
Everything he was doing now was to nurture him.
Let him have his own power and reputation, so that after his identity was made public in the future, he would have enough power and power to establish himself in the world!
However, these people always went against him and obstructed him time and time again.
Li Er wished he could remove all of these people from their posts and put them in jail!
However, this was only a thought in his heart.
Although he was the emperor, he could not do as he pleased.
The power of the royal court was deeply intertwined, and it was not his word alone. A slight carelessness could affect the whole situation!
This was also the biggest reason why he did not dare to reveal Zhang Zhi's identity!
"Hao 'er, I've already paved the way for you.”
"You must work hard!"
Li Er looked at Zhang Zhi, who remained calm despite Hou Junji's provocation, and his heart was filled with anticipation and worry.
Even though he had seen Zhang Zhi's ability to hold a cauldron, and Fang Xuanling had told him that he had seen Zhang Zhi's martial arts skills with his own eyes.
But when Zhang Zhi was about to face Hou Junji…
Li Er could not help but feel a little worried.
He knew of Hou Junji's martial arts. Although he couldn't compare to peerless generals like Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, he was only slightly inferior!
Li Er didn't want to see how long Zhang Zhi could last against Hou Junji.
He wanted to see Zhang Zhi defeat Hou Junji!
"Hey, do you think this Zhang Zhi can last ten moves from General Hou?”
"It can't be, right?"
"What kind of person is General Hou? That was a super fierce general who had killed his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!”
"This Zhang Zhi is just a small doctor. Looking at his thin and weak appearance, I don't think he can even withstand one move!”
"That's right! That's right! Why would His Majesty confer such an important position as the Great General of the Right Military Guards? Sigh ~"
"This Zhang Zhi is really something. Can't he just be a divine doctor? However, he had overestimated himself and wanted to obtain the position of the Great General of the Right Military Guard. When the time came, swords and swords had no eyes, and he would still be the one in his hands!”
"Yes! That's right!"
......
The officials on the stands looked at the awe-inspiring Hou Junji, then looked down at the meek Zhang Zhi.
He felt that the two of them were on completely different levels.
Other than Li Er, Dongfang Wugou, and a few other people, no one was optimistic about Zhang Zhi.
After all.
On the surface, the gap between the two of them was really too great!
"Duke Li, are you ready to go on stage?”Wang De asked Zhang Zhi carefully, his attitude very humble and respectful.
As Li Er's personal chamberlain, he was one of the few people who knew Zhang Zhi's true identity.
Naturally, he didn't dare to be negligent.
"What's wrong?"
"Scared?"
"Cowardly?"
"If you're afraid, then hurry up and get lost!”
"The Great General of the Right Military Guards is not someone that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can take on!”
"Hahaha!"
Hou Junji thought that Zhang Zhi had been scared out of his wits when he saw that he hadn't come up on stage, and he immediately laughed mockingly.
When Wang De heard Hou Junji taunt Zhang Zhi like this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he silently mourned for him.
To dare call the First Prince a nobody, Hou Junji truly is awesome!
I'll give you a thumbs up and you'll be on your way in the future!
It was better to do evil than to do evil!
Zhang Zhi didn't respond to Hou Junji's taunt.
Compared to verbal retaliation, he preferred to use his strength to shut the other party up!
Hu ~
Zhang Zhi let out a breath, picked up the Formation-Breaking Overlord Spear in his hand, and slowly walked onto the arena.
Bang!
The 595 Jin Ground Breaking Formation Overlord Spear King slammed his spear into the ground, and the stone slab on the stage was instantly smashed into pieces!!
Hou Junji's eyes widened!
His contemptuous gaze instantly turned extremely solemn!!
Outsiders would look at the door, while insiders would look at the excitement. As a general, he could naturally see the extraordinariness of this move!
Hou Junji didn't know how skilled Zhang Zhi was, but at least his strength was extraordinary!
At this moment.
His mind suddenly recalled Li Er's words in the imperial court yesterday. He was capable of reaching the top of a cauldron, and he had the potential to become a tyrant!
Hiss--
No way!
Could it be that he really had the bearing of an overlord?
"Make your move."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to attack later.”
Zhang Zhi calmly said to Hou Junji.
That gaze was as if he was looking at an ant, completely disregarding him!
"Arrogant!"
"Watch your blade!"
Hou Junji was instantly enraged by Zhang Zhi's expression. Hou Junji was a fierce general, so who wouldn't be polite to him?
When had he ever been looked down upon like this?
He shouted angrily.
He raised the Daguan Blade in his hand and slashed at Zhang Zhi with the force of a mountain!!
Facing Hou Junji's powerful blade, Zhang Zhi did not panic or dodge.
The Formation-Breaking Overlord Spear in his hand suddenly swept out-Divine Dragon Wags Tail!!!
Clang!
A loud bang suddenly exploded in the drill ground, causing the eardrums of the surrounding ministers to buzz!
Only to see.
Hou Junji was sent flying as if he had been hit by a speeding carriage. His thumb and forefinger split open, and blood sprayed from his mouth. The Guan Dao in his hand was bent ninety degrees!!!
