If the Tu Jue's sudden challenge was unexpected, then the Qin diplomatic mission's response was even more surprising.
Because there was absolutely no need!
The alliance of the Qin and Tang was not something the Turks could stop. Why should they care about their expressions?
If this Turkic envoy continued to act without a sense of propriety, Li Shiming would have him killed!
However, the Qin diplomatic mission chose to fight head-on!
Not even the Turkic envoy had expected this, much less the others.
"Why did they accept the challenge?"
Li Lizhi couldn't understand why the Qin envoy would make such a choice.
Li Shiming was in the same mood as Li Lizhi. He frowned and said,"Fusu, don't act on impulse!"
In his opinion, Fu Su accepted the challenge because he couldn't stand the provocation.
He couldn't stand the stimulation, which lowered his evaluation of Fu Su.
Because if Meng Yi was defeated, wouldn't this engagement be called off?
The Qin-Tang alliance would become a joke!
Fu Su cupped his hands and said calmly and seriously,""Your Majesty, the people of Qin never fear challenges, nor will we avoid them!”
"Great Qin dares to fight, and even more so, dare to fight to the death!"
Fu Su's body exploded with a soaring sharpness. His gentleness was gone, and he was like a sword that had been wiped clean and revealed its sharp edge!
There was no wavering in his eyes, only determination!
"You…"
Li Shi Min was shocked. He then looked at the Qin diplomatic mission, wanting them to persuade Fu Su.
However, he was immediately stunned.
Because not only Fu Su, even the envoys of the Qin Kingdom, including Prime Minister Zhang Yi, did not come out to dissuade him.
Everyone's expression was calm, as if it was only natural for Fu Su to accept the challenge.
"Great Qin has never been afraid of war!"
Zhang Yi's usual gentle appearance had changed. His expression was unprecedentedly serious.
He stood up and said to Li Shi Min,""Don't worry, Your Majesty. Great Qin will never lose.”
"If I lose…"
"We will trample the Turks to the ground at all costs!”
His tone was calm, as if he was stating a fact.
At this moment, the people of Qin showed the Tang what the backbone of the people of Qin was, what the pride of the people of Qin was.
It was this unyielding will!
The valiant old Qin had risen from the border and fought against the heavens, the earth, the barren mountains and rivers, and the Xiongnu. It had never yielded!
Everyone was shocked speechless by this unyielding will.
"The State of Qin…is truly terrifying."
Zhangsun Wuji, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the other ministers all had the same thought.
When the people of a country, from the king to the people, had such unyielding pride, what else could defeat them?
Such a country would definitely be glorious!
Li Shi Min had a complicated look in his eyes. In the end, he didn't continue to dissuade him. Instead, he waved his hand.
The black-armored guards retreated, then handed over two swords to Meng Yi and the Turkic representative.
Since it was a challenge, it was naturally a battle between two people.
However, Li Shiming still had some thoughts. He didn't give her a knife, but a sword.
The Turks were nomads and weren't used to swords.
This was also the only thing he could do for the State of Qin. As for doing something to the sword, it was too despicable and he disdained to use it.
Fu Su saw this and nodded secretly.
In truth, even if he were to face the enemy himself, he wouldn't fear the Turkic messenger.
Although his martial arts skills were not very high, he was not a weak scholar. One had to know that the Six Arts of a Gentleman were not just for show.
Wen can lift a pen to stabilize the world, Wu can mount a horse to stabilize heaven and earth.
This was a true gentleman!
Moreover, Fu Su was born in Great Qin, which was rich in martial arts and morality, so he was not that weak. It was just that the Turkic envoy in front of him was not qualified to make him act.
"Be careful."
Fu Su warned Meng Yi.
"Dealing with such a small fry is nothing.”
Meng Yi grinned and casually waved the sword twice.
"This is much better than the swords of our State of Qin…"
Muttering a few words, he stepped forward and faced the Turkic envoy, coldly snorting,
"I will replace Young Master in the battle. If you feel that it is unfair, I will let you use one hand! If I use my second hand, I lose!"
He held the sword in his left hand and placed his right hand behind his back.
This was blatant disdain and provocation!
The Turkic envoy was actually not angered by Meng Yi's insult and silently agreed to Meng Yi's one-handed attack.
The reason was simple. Meng Yi's physique was not inferior to his, and he gave off a dangerous feeling. Moreover, his goal was only victory. He could do anything for it!
"Jie Li Khan's third warrior, Batulu!”
The Turkic messenger also drew his sword and spoke to Meng Yi, his eyes turning savage.
As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly moved!
Batulu suddenly took a step forward and crossed ten steps in an instant. He used the sharp sword in his hand as a saber and slashed fiercely at Meng Yi!
"Be careful!"
Li Lizhi subconsciously shouted because Meng Yi looked defenseless and full of flaws.
If Meng Yi lost, then the engagement would be canceled!
Facing Batulu's ferocious attack, Meng Yi's eyes burned with fighting spirit and eagerness.
Then, he slashed out with his sword and met Batulu!
Without any fancy moves, the two long swords fiercely slashed together.
Clang!
An ear-piercing sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the hall. Those who were closer felt their eardrums sting.
Then, when they looked at the arena, they were instantly stunned.
Batulu was sent flying. The sword in his hand fell to the side, and the blade twisted.
And the sharp sword in Meng Yi's hand was even more deformed!
Everyone was stunned. This was a longsword forged from fine steel. How terrifying was its strength?
"Not really."
Meng Yi frowned. He only wanted to test the toughness of the sword, so he smashed it.
He didn't expect that one strike would end up like this.
But even so, it was still many times stronger than the swords forged in the State of Qin.
"You, you---!"
Batulu lay on the ground, blood flowing out of his mouth and nose. He looked at Meng Yi in shock, as if he wanted to say something.
However, before he could say anything, he spat out a mouthful of blood and died.
The hall was silent.
