He changed his words halfway, which also showed that he was quick-witted. King Yu didn't see Mei Changsu's hint and didn't understand why this person suddenly had an epiphany. He was a little disappointed and snorted coldly.
"The suggestions of the two royal sons are very suitable for me," Emperor Liang said with a smile."Then everyone can challenge as they please without setting any rules.”
The Crown Prince, who clearly wanted to watch the competition, secretly thought to himself that it was a close call. He couldn't help but look gratefully at Mei Changsu, but the latter was whispering to Xiao Chu and didn't see him.
"Brother Su, you saved the Crown Prince once.”
"Haha."
Although it was a free challenge, everyone had worked hard to earn this qualification. In front of the princess, no one was willing to rashly appear, afraid that they would not be able to show their glory and instead lose face. For a moment, they weighed the situation with each other and there was a short silence.
"Let me go first." With a long laugh, Yan Yujin, who didn't care about anything, stood up. After arriving at the courtyard and bowing to Emperor Liang, he leisurely turned around and raised his chin."I, Yan Yujin, challenge Eldest Young Master Xiao.”
Xiao Jingrui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he had to stand up. Seeing the two of them standing opposite each other and cupping their fists, several people in the court couldn't help but laugh. These two kids had been biting each other since they were young. Before they even learned how to walk, they had already left bite marks on each other's small faces. However, they had never seen them fight properly.
However, when everyone was filled with anticipation as they watched the two of them fight, after a few moves, all the spectators couldn't help but let out a "tsk" in their hearts. How was this an important battle? It was clearly an exhibition match. Xiao Jingrui was still used to being modest, but Yujin was determined to show off. He showed off his most stylish and beautiful body movements like a butterfly flying all over the field. Sometimes, when Xiao Jingrui's offensive accidentally blocked the moves he was about to show, he would glare at him. In his busy schedule, he did not forget to choose an angle to show a charming smile to the princess, causing Princess Nihuang to laugh so hard that she couldn't straighten her back. She panted and waved her hand,"Little... Ozu... Enough, enough…I know…You've been the most handsome since you were young..."
The atmosphere at the scene after the opening match was naturally relaxed to the extreme. Very soon, people came out one after another to request for battle. For a time, the exciting scene continued. Indeed, each of them had extraordinary skills and strengths.
After about four or five rounds, the biggest dark horse, Bai Liqi, finally stood up and cupped his fists at a Daliang soldier who had won one round but had also taken a break. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to hesitate. Naturally, the other party immediately stood up.
"Isn't this person from Beijing? Do you know him?”Yan Yujin whispered into his friend's ear.
"Li Xiao is the most outstanding disciple of this generation in Wudang Sect, and Father Zhuo often praises him for his solid internal energy. He can be considered as Bai Liqi's opponent.”Xiao Jingrui whispered.
While the two were whispering, they had already started fighting. The Wudang masters of the past generations had their own internal energy, mental cultivation method, moves, and body techniques. When facing an expert like Bai Liqi, Li Xiao was able to attack and defend well. Each move was clumsy and contained power. In the blink of an eye, dozens of moves had passed, and he did not show signs of defeat.
However, just as everyone was cheering for Li Xiao's ingenious 'one loses and the other grows' move, Princess Ni Huang suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. At the same time, Meng Zhi circulated his Qi and shouted,"No!" Before the sound faded, Li Xiao's body had already flown out. Meng Zhi caught him in a flash and helped him sit on the ground. When he looked again, his forehead was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale. Meng Zhi grabbed his soft right arm and frowned. Although it was fortunate that Bai Liqi, who had used 10% of his inner energy to stop him, had not broken all the tendons in his arm, the bones in his arm were broken and the main tendons were seriously injured. Although the young man gritted his teeth and did not groan, from his miserable eyes, it could be seen that he already understood that his cultivation would not be able to advance in the future due to today's injury.
" This is the Black Jade Intermittence Ointment that I refined. After applying it for three days, you will recover completely within half a month without using any strength." Xiao Chu stood up. Emperor Liang had asked him to go to the palace to prevent such an incident from happening. He took out a black porcelain bottle from his sleeve and threw it over.
Li Xiao even forgot his pain and stared blankly at Xiao Chu, unable to speak.
Meng Zhi nodded slightly at Xiao Chu and whispered into Li Xiao's ear,"This is the Buddha's Hand Ghost Doctor, Xiao Chu. It's always right to listen to him regarding any injuries.”After saying that, he called people to carry Li Xiao away.
Bai Liqi had already returned to his seat. His gaze was still indifferent, as if the pain he had just suffered was nothing.
"Envoy Qi!" The Crown Prince was the first to be angered by his suggestion to stop at this point."Everyone is sparring out of goodwill. How can your country's martial artists be so heartless? This is too much!"”
The other candidates also looked at him angrily. The Northern Yan envoy stood up and said proudly,"We have followed the Crown Prince's orders and have not seen any blood." Besides, it's inevitable to hurt the strong people who have always been respected in our country. Princess, you are a brave soldier. You should know that there is no such thing as benevolence on the battlefield.”
"The court is not a battlefield," the Liang Emperor said unhappily.”
Although he said that, after all, they were in a competition. Emperor Liang could not be angry and punish them. He could only reprimand them and ignore them for the time being after the other party respectfully agreed.
However, under the cold smile of the Northern Yan envoy, everyone realized that Belic's goal was not to seize the opportunity to display his martial arts skills. He had challenged seven opponents in a row, including two from the Great Yu. Although he did not use any ruthless methods such as breaking bones, he had more or less caused some internal injuries to them. In the end, only Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui were left behind. They didn't know if they looked down on them or thought too highly of them.
Xiao Chu smiled and raised a glass of wine to Mei Changsu. "Brother Su, please."
"Brother Xiao, please."
The two of them drank, but Xiao Chu drank in a hurry. Mei Changsu was only halfway through when Xiao Chu put down the cup. While the palace maid was pouring wine, Xiao Chu whispered into Mei Changsu's ear,"Belic is from the Jiang Zuo Alliance, right?”
Xiao Chu didn't answer the question and said in realization,""Aiyo, I'm sorry, Brother Su. I drank a few more cups just now and my tongue was not good. I mistakenly called Brother Su Brother Lin.”
“!”Mei Changsu was stunned and almost spat out the wine in his mouth. However, Mei Changsu had been planning for twelve years after all. His mind was as hard as iron as he finished the glass of wine and elegantly placed the empty glass on the table. Mei Changsu turned to Xiao Chu and said,"Brother Xiao, you and I are the same. Wasn't Ouyang Xun also Brother Xiao's man?”
Mei Changsu raised his eyebrows. He definitely hated Xiao Chu to the core, but the cold and fire poison in his body still needed Xiao Chu's treatment, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart. "Brother Xiao is too polite."
The two scheming strategists cupped their hands at each other and gave each other a meaningful smile.
