Chapter 242 The Regent has arrived!
When Yan Ning saw the change in the other person's eyes, he immediately became alert.
He suddenly changed his sword move halfway through, dodging the opponent's seemingly ordinary grab, and retreated backwards.
Fortunately, he retreated in time and just managed to dodge a long hook that extended from the wristband of the Beicang warrior!
However, before he could take firm steps, he felt a sudden pain in his shoulder and staggered back two steps.
There were bursts of exclamations from outside the stadium.
I saw that the Beicang warrior not only had a long hook extending from his left wristband, but the wristband on his right hand was even more exaggerated, and had actually transformed into a sophisticated crossbow!
The tiny crossbow arrow, like a steel nail, was deeply embedded in Yan Ning's shoulder.
The ministers of Liang State immediately burst into shock and anger.
"How despicable! Using a hidden weapon!"
"If you can't win fair and square, then you resort to such shameless means. How can this count!"
"Beicang can't afford to lose! You must give an explanation for what happened today!"
The emperor also frowned and looked at Yuwen Ye:
"What does Prince Li mean by this? Shouldn't you give us, the officials of Daliang, an explanation?"
Yuwen Ye laughed and said loudly:
"Your Majesty Emperor Liang, are you kidding? There is no stipulation on what kind of weapons you can bring to this competition. Why can't we use mechanical devices?"
The emperor's expression paused.
Yuwen Ye gently fanned the jade fan in his hand, looked at the whole audience, and said calmly:
"Have you forgotten that what we are competing for today is the individual combat capabilities of the soldiers of the two countries? What he is wearing is the standard equipment of our Bei Cang Vanguard Team!"
"It's just like when your generals took up swords, didn't I say anything? The sword held by your Yan Da Commander is Han Ying, who ranks third on the World Famous Sword List!"
"Why is it that when it comes to my Bei Cang's weapons, they are said to be despicable?"
"Do you Liang people have to stipulate that the enemy cannot use certain weapons when you arrive on the battlefield?"
"You lost because you knew nothing about my Beicang's technology! That's your own problem!"
The ministers of Liang State were extremely unwilling, but they could not say anything to refute.
The reason for this competition was indeed that Prince Li questioned the military strength of Liang State.
We thought that the man from Beicang only had protective gear and no weapons, but we didn't know that his weapons were all hidden in his protective gear!
Besides feeling unwilling, everyone was secretly frightened.
I didn't expect that Beicang's mechanical technology has reached this level. No wonder Beicang, with a sparse population, can be ranked among the major countries in the world.
"The victory has been decided. Is it time for His Majesty Emperor Liang to fulfill his promise?"
Yuwen Ye gently waved his jade fan and smiled.
"Wait a minute!"
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Yan Ning said coldly:
"As long as you remain standing on the battlefield, victory or defeat is uncertain!"
After saying this, he raised his sword and was about to attack again, but Yuwen Ye said slowly:
"I advise you not to show off."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Ning paused and spurted out a mouthful of black blood. He leaned on his sword and supported himself on one knee.
"That hidden weapon is poisonous!"
The ministers of Liang State exclaimed again.
Yuwen Ye didn't wait for anyone to start a fight, he just put on a nonchalant smile and said:
"I didn't say you couldn't use poison before the competition. Are you guys going to say it's against the rules now?"
The emperor's face turned completely black, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"You guys win this round, hurry up and get the antidote!"
Compared with winning or losing a competition, if the commander of the imperial guards made a mistake, it would be a huge loss.
Yuwen Ye narrowed his eyes and smiled like a fox:
"Your Majesty, rest assured. It will take some time for the poison to take effect on your heart. Since Your Majesty is willing to accept defeat, why not issue the imperial decree as agreed? I will then present the antidote."
The emperor stared at Yuwen Ye gloomily and ordered Li Liangui in a cold voice:
"Get some paper and pen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yuwen Ye smiled and bowed, thinking that no matter how capable the Pavilion Master was, he could not ignore the imperial edict.
He didn't think that an imperial decree alone could make the woman completely obedient, but if the chips were not enough, he could add more. He had the patience to control her little by little.
Yuwen Ye watched the emperor take the pen from the chief eunuch, his heart settled a little, and he picked up the tea and took a sip with a smile. He was wondering whether Emperor Liang had heard of the name of Taoist Qingyun.
But even if he knew who Master Qingyun was, it would be too late. The bet had already been made, and there was no need to worry that he would go back on his word in front of so many people.
Suddenly, a long voice was heard:
"The Prince Regent has arrived—The Princess Regent has arrived—"
The emperor paused, and Yuwen Ye also raised his eyebrows.
Everyone turned to look, and the people outside automatically made way for them.
When two figures appeared in everyone's sight, the king and his ministers of Liang State all took a deep breath.
"Your Highness the Regent, this is..."
"The prince...how could he..."
I saw a tall man in a black robe, looking extremely noble, walking towards me with big strides, and his every move exuded a majestic aura.
It is truly unparalleled in the world, with unparalleled elegance and grace!
The woman next to him had fair skin and rosy cheeks, as beautiful as a jade pendant. Her cold appearance made her look like a fairy who was not of this world, and her temperament was no less elegant than the man next to her.
It's none other than the Prince Regent and the Princess!
The emperor dropped the pen in his hand with a snap. He stared at Xiao Changheng in amazement, unable to speak for a long time.
Xiao Changheng walked straight to Yan Ning, who had been helped to the edge of the training ground, and said calmly:
"Commander Yan, can you lend me Hanying?"
Although he deliberately did not arrive on time, he had already sent people to keep an eye on the situation here, and his subordinates reported everything that happened along the way.
Yan Ning supported himself and handed over the sword, reminding in a hoarse voice:
"Your Highness, be careful. That man has a hidden weapon in his wristband."
Xiao Changheng nodded, holding his sword, he came to the center of the training ground, looked at the Northern Cang warrior who was as strong as a mountain, and said in a cold voice:
"I will be your opponent."
The Northern Blue Warrior laughed loudly:
"I have long heard of the reputation of the Regent of Liang State. If we defeat you today, our company Patu will surely become famous all over the world!"
Xiao Changheng pointed his sword straight at him, curled his lips coldly, and spoke in a voice as loud as a bell with full momentum!
"If you can catch my sword, you win!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent!
Weispatu's smiling face twitched, and he glared angrily:
“Arrogant!”
After saying that, he moved his wrists, and exquisite crossbows popped out from his left and right wrist guards, and two crossbow arrows were shot at Xiao Changheng at a rapid speed!
Some generals could see clearly that such a small crossbow could shoot arrows at a speed comparable to that of a heavy bow. The structure of this mechanism was simply beyond imagination!
"Your Highness, be careful! That arrow is poisonous!" someone on the sidelines reminded urgently.
Xiao Changheng watched the crossbow arrows flying straight towards his face without any change in his expression. He raised and rolled up his left sleeve, and the sleeve, wrapped in strong energy, rolled the two crossbow arrows into his sleeve.
At the same time, Sipato kicked the ground with his thick legs and rushed straight towards him. He had retracted the crossbows on his wrists, but he didn't know what mechanism was activated. He saw that his wrist guards and leg guards were changing rapidly!
Xiao Changheng didn't care what tricks he had in mind, and ignored the fact that he was still five or six feet away from him. He simply raised his hand and slashed at Sipato head-on with his sword.
Sipatu was startled, and suddenly found a sharp sword energy coming towards him, and the overwhelming murderous intent instantly enveloped him!
Sipatu's pupils shrank sharply, and without having time to think, he retracted his neck and blocked his face with his arms tightly.
There was a loud bang, and Sipatu flew backwards more than ten feet before landing on the ground, leaving a mark of more than ten feet on the ground before he stopped. Smoke and dust rose up on the ground of the training ground, covering his figure.
Everyone stared at the center of the smoke, especially the civil and military officials of Liang State, whose hearts were in their throats.
They were certainly happy that the Regent had the absolute upper hand, but the prince had just spoken first.
If Sipatu can really catch this sword and stand up, then he will win!
The smoke and dust dissipated.
Everyone's eyes widened.
