Chapter 152 The Prize is in Hand
Wu Bang felt an overwhelming force that pushed him far away and he fell to the ground. Then his blood and qi surged and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He no longer had the strength to get up.
"Oh oh oh!" A scream rang out.
Lou Haotian stood up in disbelief.
According to the rules he set, Yanyan won three out of five games.
He lost!
Not only did he not keep the Dragon Slashing Sword he borrowed from his grandfather, but he also couldn't get the antidote.
His mother and sister were waiting for him to take the antidote back.
Because of the pain of the fetal poison, his sister has not married at the age of 23.
The crowd was excited.
Yun Hongxiao also laughed more happily than ever before.
After the competition, Yun Hongxiao asked everyone to sit back in Minghe Hall and continue the banquet.
The palace servants took away the cold food and served it again.
At this time, all the courtiers and family members of Yanyan were very excited. They
were even more excited than when they heard that Prince Lu had defeated Lou Lan.
Because this was the most direct way for them to see the entire competition process.
The suppression in the first three games and the reversal in the last two games made people feel so cool.
"Second Prince Lou, the result of the competition is out. Can we take out the prize now?" Yun Hongxiao sat down, took a sip of wine, and said to Lou Haotian with a gloomy face.
Lou Haotian did not speak for a long time. This result was beyond his expectation.
Each country has spies in other countries, and the news he received was that there was no martial arts talent in Yanyan Capital except Yun Xinglu who had some skills.
I didn't expect that this Wu'an Marquis was so hidden.
In fact, many people present did not expect that Feng Zuwen and his son were so powerful that they could defeat the Ming Wang who followed him to practice martial arts in such a short time. Although the opponent was already at the end of his strength, he still won.
"What? Is the second prince Lou trying to cheat?" Wu Yueqin jumped out again to make himself felt, but he also said what everyone wanted to say.
"Your Majesty Huoyan, although I proposed the rules of this competition, it is unfair to us, but in reality, we should be considered a draw."
Lou Haotian still wanted to gain some benefits for himself.
"My main purpose for coming here this time, in addition to seeking peace, is to seek the formula for the antidote for my sister.
When my mother was pregnant with my sister, she was ambushed by someone and was poisoned by a secret drug of my royal family, which was transferred to my sister.
Because the amount was very small, my sister is still alive now, but she relies on precious medicinal materials to survive.
However, the doctor who developed this drug died before he could develop an antidote, and it became an uncurable poison." Lou Haotian continued, speaking these words sincerely.
"You don't have an antidote, so you use it on the battlefield to fight General Chen? What kind of people are you?" Wu Yueqin muttered in a low voice.
But everyone heard it.
"I apologize to General Chen for this matter, but on the battlefield everyone has their own abilities, and there is no right or wrong. Since General Chen's poison has been cured, please give me a condition, Emperor Yanyan, and I am willing to buy it with silver." Lou Haotian was also more open and aboveboard.
He had inquired about it in the past few days, and it was said that a doctor under the protection of the Feng family cured the poison, but he also learned from many sources that the doctor had no ability to cure the poison, and there was someone else who cured the poison, but he could not find out, so he could only ask the King of Yanyan for help, which was the easiest way.
"If your country is willing to give you the antidote formula and the design of the ten-shot crossbow, I, Loulan, am willing to sign a peace agreement. Loulan will never violate the border between the two countries within 20 years. At the same time, we are also willing to sign a trade agreement for medicinal materials between the two countries, and Tianshan Snow Lotus will be included in it." Lou Haotian continued.
What he said was relatively sincere.
"I will consider your request and give you a reply in a few days. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so let's not talk about political affairs, but should we give you the prize you promised in today's martial arts competition?" Yun Hongxiao couldn't give him a positive answer on the spot, and he had to think about it for a long time.
Lou Haotian hesitated for a while, but still presented the Dragon Slashing Sword.
Yun Ranqing looked at it eagerly.
Yun Hongxiao did not break his promise. He admired it for a while and really gave it to him.
Wu Yueqin immediately ran over to admire it, and then the sword went around among the martial arts practitioners.
"Your Majesty, where is mine?" Feng Zuwen reminded everyone when he saw that they had almost finished admiring it.
Don't forget his reward.
Yun Hongxiao put down his chopsticks and said, "Come to Yu's study tomorrow, and I'll give it to you."
"I obey your order." Feng Zuwen bowed. It's good that he didn't cheat.
The banquet continued, and the mood of the court officials was very high. More and more people came to Feng Zuwen to drink.
But Feng Zuwen told those who flattered him that it was just luck.
Don't let the emperor think he is arrogant.
He wanted to keep a low profile, but in today's situation, if he didn't show up, Huoyan would definitely lose, so he couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, the emperor has a good relationship with him, otherwise he will definitely be suppressed by the emperor in the future.
At this time, Prince Lu came over with a wine glass.
"Lord Feng, the face of our Yanyan Kingdom today depends on your Feng family. Come, I will toast you a glass. When can we spar with each other?" Yun Xinglu seemed to be smiling, but it always felt that his smile did not reach his eyes.
"Lord Lu is flattering. It's just luck, luck." Feng Zuwen raised the wine glass and clinked it with his, saying humbly.
"How can there be luck without strength, right, Lord?" Yun Xinglu said meaningfully.
"I have been practicing martial arts a little more diligently in the past year." Feng Zuwen was actually telling the truth.
"When? Please give me some advice, Lord."
"Sure, sure." Feng Zuwen replied perfunctorily.
Oh, it seems that I was a little too high-profile and aroused the vigilance of Lord Lu.
It seems that I really need to find a time to compete with him and lose to him.
Otherwise, it will be a big deal if he targets me.
On the other side.
The Dragon Slashing Sword returned to Yun Ranqing's hand.
He ran to Feng Tianxing's table with "thump thump thump".
"Sister Feng, let me show you my prize." Yun Ranqing handed the sword to Feng Tianxing like a treasure.
[This sword is precious only in this mortal world. Compared with the ones I gave to my father and two brothers, it is far inferior. Fortunately, my second brother did not bring his own sword to show off today. Otherwise, all the weapons provided by the palace would become scrap iron.]
Feng Tianxing took a look and complained in her heart. She forgot that weapons were not allowed to be brought into the palace.
However, Feng Tianxing still symbolically picked it up and took a look. It was indeed much better than ordinary weapons. It should be made of a unique black iron material, and it was made with a thousand hammers and a hundred tempers.
"This sword is only so-so. I have a better one at home. When you become better at martial arts, I will give you one." Feng Tianxing leaned over to Yun Ranqing's ear and whispered.
Yun Ranqing's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard it.
Sister Feng's family actually has a better sword than this sword?
How is this possible? He has never heard of the Feng family having good weapons.
But he didn't ask much, just nodded with a smile.
Then looking at the sword in his hand, he felt that it was not so fragrant.
The Mid-Autumn Banquet ended in a lively noise.
Yun Hongxiao also led all the court officials and their families to worship the Moon God as in previous years.
After the morning court the next day.
Yun Xinglu, Yun Hongchen, Feng Zuwen and Chen Zhizhong were kept by the emperor and taken to Yu's study to discuss matters.
