The drums for the arena were sounded, but neither of them made the first move; instead, they stared at each other silently.
Suddenly, Zhao Qingzhu leaped forward, and the warrior, caught off guard, was kicked hard.
This kick, though not particularly powerful, was imbued with internal force and actually caused the opponent to vomit blood.
Zhu Yunwen's face also lit up with joy.
"Your Highness, don't be too happy yet. This warrior is the second bravest warrior on our Eastern Island. This injury is nothing!"
"The second warrior of the East Island? Why didn't the first warrior show up?"
The princess gave a cold laugh.
"I will definitely reserve the title of First Warrior for the Crown Prince, and treat you well!"
"Thank you! I will treat him well!"
The princess sneered, "Don't be fooled by your current merriment; you'll be finished in no time."
Dongdao wanted everyone to know that the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty died at her hands.
At that time, that trade document will become a piece of waste paper!
"good!"
Zhu Yunwen's cheers brought the princess back to her senses, and she looked towards the arena.
He saw his own warrior being easily pinned to the ground and rubbed into the ground by a mere eunuch!
The samurai's face was covered in blood, and he was so swollen that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
The princess was startled. If Dongdao won this round, even if Zhu Yunwen had extraordinary abilities, he would not be able to reverse the defeat!
All we need to do is kill him, and that will be the perfect end!
She slowly turned her head to look at the envoy beside her.
The envoy waved his hand, and a man from the Eastern Island slowly walked to the vicinity of the arena.
Everyone's attention was focused on the ring, and no one noticed him at all.
The man held a crystal-clear object in his hand and suddenly flung it at Zhao Qingzhu.
"careful!"
Zhao Qingzhu felt a sudden glint of cold light pierce towards her, and for a moment she had no time to dodge.
Zhu Yunwen's heart was in his throat. If anything happened to Zhao Qingzhu, he would never forgive himself.
The ice needles were getting closer and closer to Zhao Qingzhu, and it was impossible to dodge them now. Zhao Qingzhu suddenly grabbed the warrior on the ground and held him in front of her.
With a soft thud, the samurai collapsed to the ground, convulsing, and soon fell silent.
"Ming Dynasty wins the second match!"
Thunderous applause erupted throughout the stadium, everyone cheered and shouted, and even the people on the periphery joined in the joy.
Zhao Qingzhu slowly stood up, feeling all the sunlight shining on her.
Zhu Yunwen laughed heartily.
"It seems the second-best warrior of the Eastern Island is still somewhat inferior to the little eunuch of my Great Ming Dynasty!"
"It's okay, we still have the most important and most exciting match to watch. I wonder if Tai Sun will still be able to smile so happily later?"
"I think I'll be laughing even harder than I am now! I just wonder if the princess will faint again in a bit? Want to make another bet with me?"
"What are we betting on?"
"If I come back alive, Princess, would you please kneel down and kowtow to me?"
Princess Dongdao was so angry her mouth was practically crooked.
"I hope you can come back too!"
Zhu Yunwen walked nonchalantly onto the arena, and everyone's excitement turned into worry.
It's common knowledge that His Highness the Crown Prince has no martial arts skills, and Dongdao will certainly not let this opportunity slip by.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw his grandson step onto the arena, he couldn't help but sit down a little closer.
"We're protected by heaven, so we should be fine, right?"
The eunuch behind him quickly stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Crown Prince is a lucky man and will surely be fine!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, his hand trembling slightly.
I've never been this nervous since I started from scratch, from a broken bowl to now.
He was never this nervous, not even when facing a massive army.
Although the people outside couldn't see Zhu Yunwen's face clearly, they felt a sense of familiarity with his imposing figure.
This is the same young man who caused the Eastern Island Kingdom to lose face for three consecutive days. Today is the day for him to prove himself, and it is also an important moment for the Eastern Island to wipe away its shame.
Everyone held their breath, not daring to blink!
Compared to the others, Zhang Shan and Zhao Qingzhu were not so worried, after all, they had already witnessed the power of the musket.
When the East Island samurai entered the arena, Zhu Yunwen did not rush to make a move.
Instead, they looked at each other with curiosity.
"I'd like to ask you a question first: is there a triangular bitter tea seed under these two pieces of cloth?"
The East Island samurai didn't understand Zhu Yunwen's words and stared blankly at the translator.
When he understood Zhu Yunwen's meaning, he looked at the other party with anger.
I had long heard that the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty was impolite, but I never expected it to be like this.
Even if the princess didn't give any instructions, we certainly won't let him get away with this today!
The samurai gripped the floor with both feet, like an enraged bull!
"Don't be impulsive, your feet are almost breaking the floorboards. Fine, since you won't tell me, I'll just have to wait until you're dead before I can explore it myself!"
Before the translator could finish speaking, the samurai shouted and charged forward.
Zhu Yunwen remained calm and composed as he slowly raised his right hand.
A small, entirely black object appeared in his hand.
With a loud bang, the samurai froze instantly less than three meters away from him.
Then he lay down stiffly, and a stream of bright red blood flowed down his forehead!
Everyone present was stunned. At this moment, the training ground was completely silent; not even a fly or a mosquito dared to flutter its wings.
The princess sat frozen in her seat, not even realizing what had just happened, and she had already lost?
What weapon did Zhu Yunwen actually use?
The envoy was the first to react and hurriedly ran over to check the situation.
A hole appeared on the warrior's forehead, and looking behind him, a hole also appeared in the wooden stake that formed the arena.
The power of this thing is self-evident.
Zhu Yunwen swung the musket twice with a flourish, then slowly tucked it back into his sleeve.
"I told you not to be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil!"
Only after he finished speaking did the drummer who was striking the drum realize what was happening.
"The Grandson of the Ming Dynasty, Sheng!"
Everything just happened so suddenly that everyone is still a bit dazed. Could it be that the Crown Prince has cultivated some extraordinary martial arts?
The princess stood up, about to make a scene, but was stopped by the envoy.
The power and speed of the weapon in Zhu Yunwen's hand were unlike anything he had ever seen before!
"Haha, it seems that Heaven is truly blessing our Great Ming Dynasty. Why don't the envoy from the Eastern Island join us for a meal in the main hall today, and we can also discuss trade matters?"
Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the people cheered with joy. The grandson of the emperor was no ordinary man; he was practically a god!
The streets and alleys of the Ming Dynasty were filled with cheers and jubilation. The news quickly spread to various vassal states, and the princes were all on tenterhooks.
From now on, you must not harbor rebellious thoughts, or you won't even know how you died.
Zhu Yunwen dusted himself off and stood on the arena, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang with a bright smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Zhu Yunwen, thinking, "This kid has such a good thing and he's been keeping it from me!"
