Chapter 508: Shaking to the Sky
"Who is it?" Mu Xi flicked the whip in his hand, his face full of arrogance, as if he didn't believe at all that the women of South Vietnam knew martial arts.
She had already inquired about it. The women of Nanyue never left the house and were pampered in their homes. Very few of them knew martial arts, especially the noble ladies from the imperial capital of Shengjing. If a girl from that family knew martial arts, she would be laughed at.
The Sixth Princess' eyes rolled, and she whispered to Xiao Jiuyue, her gaze fixed on Donggui: "Sister Xiao, you have to help me. We can't lose face in Nanyue."
Xiao Jiuyue did not answer, but looked at Donggui behind her. Donggui said, "I can do it, but I'm just a maid." Although Xiao Jiuyue never treated her as a maid, nor did she order her around, but no matter what, her identity was just a maid.
"Don't be afraid." The Sixth Princess clapped her hands encouragingly and said, "Whether you can win or not, it's okay. Just fight with all your might."
The Sixth Princess asked again in a low voice: "Can you win?"
Dong Gui's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded confidently. She knew that Yongzhao women were good at fighting, but her skills were tempered through life and death.
The Sixth Princess knew what was going on and walked forward confidently. Although she was the shortest in stature and had been favored since childhood, her aura was as strong as that of a 1.8-meter-tall princess.
She looked up at Princess Mu Xi with a smile and said, "Princess Mu Xi has come from afar as a guest. How could I spoil Princess Mu Xi's fun? However, it is really not a good look for us noble ladies to fight in our attire. If Princess Mu Xi wants to compete, why not invite this young lady to come?"
Mu Xi looked at the woman pushed out by the Sixth Princess and frowned, saying, "Do you look down on me? You let a maid compete with me?" Mu Xi saw clearly that this woman was clearly a maid.
"Princess Muxi, Sister Xiao is the daughter of a marquis. Don't look down on Donggui. She used to be a bodyguard. She was saved by Sister Xiao and is willing to work for her." The Sixth Princess said half-truthfully, praising Donggui to the sky: "If Princess Muxi can't even beat Donggui, then it's really..."
It’s not enough to make Sister Xiao take action.
The Sixth Princess didn't say the rest of the words, but her meaning was very clear.
Mu Xi stared at Dong Gui suspiciously. Unlike the women from Yongzhao, Dong Gui's body was not bulky. Instead, she looked petite, like the women from South Vietnam.
"Princess Mu Xi, you're not going to pick our weakest woman to compete with, in order to show off the strength of the women of Yongzhao?"
The Sixth Princess bluntly exposed Mu Xi's intention to pick on the weak, which prevented Mu Xi from asking any more questions: "Okay, I want to see how powerful a female escort can be!"
After saying this, Princess Mu Xi's gaze fell on an open space in the bamboo forest to the east and said, "That's a good spot. Let's go there to compete."
Princess Muxi walked straight towards the bamboo forest, raised the whip in her hand and said, "The whip is my weapon. Do you want a sword or a spear?"
"Swords and spears are not safe in the palace." Dong Gui stepped forward empty-handed, his eyes fixed on the long whip in Princess Mu Xi's hand, and said, "Princess Mu Xi, I'm sorry."
"Hmph, so arrogant!" Princess Mu Xi was immediately furious when she saw that Dong Gui didn't even want a weapon. Isn't this looking down on her?
"Sister Xiao, can Dong Gui win?" When the fight really started, the Sixth Princess became nervous. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Sister Xiao, I think I've caused you trouble."
It was mainly Donggui's words that made the Sixth Princess very confident. In addition, when Donggui easily hugged her that day, she felt that Donggui must be very powerful.
"Are you worried now?" Xiao Jiuyue chuckled. When the Sixth Princess approached Donggui, Xiao Jiuyue had never been worried. This matter concerned the reputation of Nanyue. Without the certainty of victory, Xiao Jiuyue would not agree to it.
"Sister Xiao, I'm sorry." The Sixth Princess looked at her apologetically and said, "If she loses, you..."
"Miss Xiao, I think this matter is still impulsive. How can a maid represent the face of South Vietnam and fight on behalf of South Vietnam?" Du Ting's gloating voice sounded.
Xiao Jiuyue raised her eyes and retorted directly: "When Princess Mu Xi was looking for someone to come on stage just now, why didn't Miss Du say anything?"
"No matter whether I succeed or not, at least I have tried my best for the sake of South Vietnam's reputation. But Miss Du is here to boost others' morale and destroy her own prestige? I doubt whether Miss Du is really a South Vietnamese? Or, Miss Du wants my people to lose?" Xiao Jiuyue's sharp words made Du Ting stammer and dared not speak at all!
She wanted Xiao Jiuyue to lose, but Xiao Jiuyue's maid now represented the face of South Vietnam. Du Ting smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss Xiao, you misunderstood. I am from South Vietnam, so naturally I hope the South Vietnamese can win!"
"It would be better this way. As a Nanyue person, if you hope that Yongzhao will win, then you are not aware enough." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled.
The Sixth Princess said, "Sister Xiao, this isn't just a lack of awareness; this is treason!"
As soon as the Sixth Princess said this, everyone fell silent. No one dared to speak when they looked at Du Ting. Du Ting said, "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just worried that a maid like her will lose."
"Donggui dared to step forward to win glory for Nanyue, which makes her a role model for us." The Sixth Princess praised Donggui to the sky. Her eyes fell on the open space in front of the bamboo forest. Donggui's agile figure shuttled through the bamboo forest. Princess Muxi held a long whip in her hand, and the sound of the whip swinging made the Sixth Princess' heart lift.
But she must win, otherwise, she will let Sister Xiao down.
With this thought in mind, the Sixth Princess made trumpet shapes with her hands and shouted to Dong Gui, "Come on!"
"Donggui, come on! You are the best!" Xiao Jiuyue heard the Sixth Princess's encouraging voice and also shouted. The words of encouragement were like a shot of chicken blood for Donggui.
Du Ting, who was standing by, had a flash of disdain in his eyes, and then he followed the crowd, fearing that the Sixth Princess would accuse him of treason.
'Pah'
Princess Muxi dropped the long whip in her hand. Donggui clasped her fists and saluted: "Princess Muxi, I'm sorry."
"Impossible." Princess Mu Xi looked at Dong Gui in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that she would lose!
"Donggui, you're amazing!" The Sixth Princess trotted forward, her skirt lifted, and praised Donggui. "You've brought honor to South Vietnam today, and you'll be rewarded handsomely."
After saying this, the Sixth Princess looked at Princess Muxi with a smug look on her face and said, "Princess Muxi, what do you think? We in Nanyue are still full of talented people. It seems that your Yongzhao is not that powerful after all. You can't even beat a maid we randomly sent out."
If the Sixth Princess had a tail, it would definitely be shaking up to the sky.
