Chapter 453 Slow Down
A deafening roar erupted from the spot where the Right Guard was sitting on the ground. On the platform, Lord Zhao bowed to the Prince and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, on gaining another valiant general. Your Highness's new son-in-law is truly extraordinary."
After speaking, he turned to look at Zhao Yuling, nodded slightly to him, and glanced at the deputy general beside him. The deputy general quickly stepped back and helped Zhao Yuling to go to the rear to see the army doctor.
Those watching from below the stage could clearly see that their young master had become somewhat anxious as soon as he stepped onto the stage, and that he had been throwing vicious punches at Lord Lin's face. Now that he had been beaten so badly, there was nothing more to say.
He couldn't help but wonder. He had heard that the prince's new son-in-law was young but had extraordinary martial arts skills. Today, he saw that it was indeed true.
His son and Qian Yu's son were equally skilled in martial arts. In their early twenties, they had both risen to the rank of Tongzhi, which was considered young but high in the army.
Watching the fight between the two today, and seeing how his young master was completely unable to hold his own, he realized that there are always people more skilled than him, and that there is always something beyond his reach. He couldn't help but feel a little more admiration for Lin Changning.
Silently sighing, "Comparison is the thief of joy. He's young, powerful, and married a prince's daughter. In the future, tsk, he's a sure thing to become a new elite."
As the lieutenant helped his young master toward the military doctor's tent at the back, he thought to himself that he must never offend this person in the future.
King Chu couldn't help but cough lightly as he watched Lin Changning beat his subordinate's son so badly. He looked at Commander Zhao with a slight apology.
"Look at Xiao Liu, how could he hit so hard? I see your face is all blue, nephew. This kid is young and doesn't know his own strength. Old Zhao, please be more lenient with him."
Commander Zhao waved his hand, knowing in his heart that his son had intended to be ruthless from the beginning, and that Lin Changning was merely retaliating. Having been in the military for so many years, he knew that the prince was clearly protecting his own son. How could he not see that?
He chuckled and said to the prince, "Alas, it's just a competition after all. It's normal for someone to get injured occasionally. Besides, my son is indeed not as skilled as others. So what's there to talk about taking responsibility? Lord Lin is brave and skilled. Now the army has gained another valiant general. I'm overjoyed. What are you saying, Your Highness?"
As Lord Zhao spoke, he chuckled at the prince. He was no simple-minded fool who had managed to climb to such a high position.
Moreover, he saw things clearly; it was obviously his child trying to vent his anger. But now that the two of them were married, he should go back and persuade Jia Kun to let it go.
To avoid the discomfort of constantly running into Lin Changning in the future.
As Lord Zhao thought this to himself, he suddenly turned to look at Commander Qian: "Old Qian? Where's your Ah Yu? I wonder who's more capable, Ah Yu or Vice Commander Lin."
Old Zhao couldn't help but laugh when he said that. His son and Old Qian's son had been getting along well ever since they were in the army. As soon as they came back, they would get together to drink and fight. They had fought countless times over the years.
They have a good relationship, but they like to compete with each other. Their abilities are about the same. His child lost on stage, and Old Qian's child probably lost in the same way.
Qian Ming had just figured it out. Old Qin had mentioned this prince's eldest son-in-law to him many times, but he hadn't really taken it seriously before, since he had just returned and wasn't familiar with Lin Changning.
I've only heard that Lin Changning is very skilled in martial arts and has made many outstanding contributions in the army.
Upon seeing this person, whose stance was steady and whose attacks were swift and ruthless, he knew that this was no ordinary character. He glanced at his own child and nodded, saying...
"Inspector Lin is indeed formidable. Jia Kun and my A Yu are about the same strength. Over the years, we've fought and competed, with both wins and losses. But since we're here, let's give it a shot."
After speaking, he turned to look at Qian Yu, who nodded slightly to Commander Qian, and then stepped forward to kneel before the King of Chu.
"This humble general wishes to challenge Lord Lin! Please grant me permission, Your Highness!"
King Chu has never refused anything from the beginning. This time, he just wants Changning to rightfully take the vanguard position. If he doesn't want others to gossip about him and if he wants to convince these powerful troublemakers in the army, this hurdle is unavoidable.
Chu Wang nodded to Qian Yu: "Granted!"
Qian Yu was a little worried. Xiao Zhao had lost. The two were actually not that different in strength. Most of the time they had fought to a draw. But when Xiao Zhao went up just now, he clearly saw that he was no match for this Lord Lin.
Whether in terms of the speed of his punches and sword strikes, or the cunning of his moves, this Lord Lin should be considered top-notch in terms of fist and foot skills, as well as swordsmanship and knife techniques.
Their reaction speed is also extremely fast. It won't be easy to defeat Lord Lin and become the vanguard.
However, since it was an opportunity that his family had fought for, how could a military general not have the courage to forge ahead?
So even though he knew it would be difficult to win, Qian Yu still wanted to give it a try against Lin Changning.
Upon taking the stage, Qian Yu abandoned his initial contemptuous attitude and respectfully bowed to Lin Changning, saying, "Please enlighten me, Lord Lin!"
Lin Changning returned the bow in a deep voice: "It's alright, it's alright. It's just a friendly spar, let's stop when we've reached our goal."
After speaking, he stood still and looked at Qian Yu opposite him. Facing Lin Changning's gaze, Qian Yu suddenly felt a chill, as if he were being stared at by some monstrous beast.
In the instant that a chill ran down his spine, Qian Yu struck first, punching Lin Changning in the chest. He had clearly seen the fight between Xiao Zhao and Lord Lin in the previous round, and this Lord Lin was probably quite concerned about his face.
Xiao Zhao had just provoked the man by hitting him in the face, which is why he didn't hold back at all afterward. Bang Bang punched him twice, leaving his eye sockets black and blue.
He admitted that he had been laughing loudly in the audience, but only after standing opposite Lin Changning did he understand the pressure that Xiao Zhao had just faced.
Lin Changning grabbed his fist with one hand. He tried to pull his hand back, but Lin Changning held it tightly, his grip so strong it felt like his bones were about to be crushed.
Qian Yu looked rather displeased, realizing he had been somewhat overconfident when he actually encountered the situation.
Lin Changning clenched the man's fist tightly and smiled kindly at him. The man was sensible; he stopped short of hitting him, only aiming for the chest and not the face.
Hmm, she was quite satisfied. So she decided to have a friendly spar with the person. Although the person was bound to lose, she would make sure to make sure they lost gracefully.
The crowd below watched as Lin Changning and Qian Yu were locked in a stalemate. Lin Changning stood motionless on the platform, while Qian Yu's face turned red for some reason.
Seeing Qian Yu's hasty withdrawal, Lin Changning smirked and then abruptly released his grip.
Qian Yu, who had used all his strength to pull his hands back, leaned back so hard that he almost fell on his buttocks.
"Lord Qian? Hold on, don't make a fool of yourself."
