Chapter 921: The Duel with the Prince
Lin Xiao is a guest from afar, and he is reasonable, and he has already softened a little.
After all, this is on British soil.
It's fine if he loses to Prince Arthur, but if he wins by accident, or injures Prince Arthur......
"There aren't many warriors left in Britain, you count as one!"
Lin Xiao's gaze swept silently across the entire hall, and everyone's performance was in full view.
Except for a few people who had a look of respect in their eyes when they heard Lin Xiao agree to a duel, everyone else had that shocked look.
You must know that in the earliest British Britain, the matter of duels was very sacred.
As mentioned before, a lot of things are solved by duels.
Win or lose, both parties should be treated with respect from others.
Because this is the chivalry preached in old Britain.
"Thank you for the compliment, but I won't show any mercy!"
"Go to the sword!"
Prince Arthur said coldly.
At this point, no one objected.
Soon two of his men came running with two knights' swords in their hands.
Prince Arthur did not hesitate to take a handful and grasp it in his hand.
Raise your chest and make an ancient and standard duel gesture.
At first glance, he is professionally trained and a master of using swords regularly.
"Heh, it's a bit imposing. ”
Lin Xiao nodded with a smile and took another long sword from his subordinates.
The sword is about a little more than a meter long, and it is not heavy, but it is very sharp, and the body of the carefully refined sword shines with cold light.
"Lin Xiao, be careful!"
Tang Qianqian knew that she couldn't stop this duel, so she could only admonish him and take a few steps back with Li Xiaoling.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful and try not to hurt him too much. ”
Lin Xiao grinned at her.
“......”
Many people around were speechless.
They really wanted to tell Lin Xiao that he was more careful than being struck by lightning.
Prince Arthur has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is even more fond of swordsmanship.
When he was ten years old, he participated in the juvenile swordsmanship competition and won the first place in the juvenile group of the All-England Swordsmanship Competition by virtue of his strength.
As an adult, he participated in many aristocratic riding and archery competitions organized by the royal family, and each time he performed outstandingly.
There are real materials.
You should be more careful, right?
Soon, the tables, chairs, and benches in the center of the hall were removed, and a large circle was vacated.
Lin Xiao and Arthur stood in the circle, about two meters apart.
"I'm attacking!"
Arthur spoke.
Seeing Lin Xiao nodding, he first made a sword gesture to show his respect for his opponent.
Then he took a step forward as fast as lightning, and directly stabbed at Lin Xiao's chest!
There was a subconscious exclamation from the crowd.
I didn't expect Prince Arthur to draw his sword so fast.
"Ding!"
"Smack!"
The surrounding exclamations suddenly stopped.
Everyone is stupid.
Including Arthur in the field, he was also stupid.
He stared down at his empty right hand.
"Where's Prince Arthur's sword?"
Someone subconsciously asked.
Only then did everyone relieve!
Some of them have better eyesight, and then they suddenly remember what just happened.
Prince Arthur stabbed Lin Xiao in the chest with a sword.
His speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, just when the tip of the sword was less than ten centimeters away from the opponent's body, Lin Xiao suddenly made a move.
The long sword stretched out and picked it up, and with a few dazzling movements, the sword in Prince Arthur's hand flew out strangely.
With a click, it plunged directly into a wooden pillar at the edge of the hall!
The sword body was still trembling uncontrollably, making a buzzing sound.
One move!
There's only one trick!
This Lin Xiao actually knocked the sword in Prince Arthur's hand flying!
"What happened just now?"
Many people haven't figured it out yet, so they quickly turned their heads and asked the people around them.
"You've lost!"
In the noise, Lin Xiao's lazy voice sounded.
"Hey, the boss really feels sorry for this little prince, he shows his sword to us, and he still has his hand holding the sword, the boss has fallen!"
"You know a fart, boss, this is a man who leaves a line, and we will see each other in the future. ”
"What you said is not right! The boss clearly thinks that this kid is still a man, and deliberately let him. ”
"Of course, the boss may also see that this kid is white and clean, and he likes him!"
The war dragon people next to him laughed and teased.
It seems that such an outcome has long been expected by them.
The guys who attended the banquet were all whispering.
Only Arthur himself stood across from Lin Xiao.
With his head down, he looked at his empty right hand.
A move to snatch the sword is definitely a heavy blow to anyone.
Not to mention that he is a royal prince, since he was a child, when has he ever encountered such a setback?
"Arthur, are you alright, Arthur?"
Henry next to him saw him standing on this side and didn't move, so he hurriedly stepped forward and cared.
"I'm fine!"
Arthur then came to his senses, sighed softly, and shook his head.
Then he looked up at Lin Xiao, his eyes were complicated, and his voice was dry.
"I lost!"
He bowed his head slightly.
When these three words were spoken, it was as if a big stone that had been pressing on my heart for more than 20 years was suddenly moved, and the whole person was instantly relaxed.
"Not bad!"
Look at the calmness and relaxation in his eyes.
Lin Xiao nodded.
Smile and speak.
"Prince Arthur, you must lose! If you can challenge me, then you are really amazing. ”
"But even though you lose, you also win a lot of things, and it's worth losing. ”
Two sentences are inexplicable.
Many people around felt that Lin Xiao was pretending.
But there was a glint in Prince Arthur's eyes, and he understood what Lin Xiao meant.
Growing up in the royal family, everything was arranged.
He developed a proud character.
In addition, Arthur himself is a bit talented, absolutely excellent in all aspects.
Being able to get into Cambridge University with your own skills and get top grades says something.
So he also developed a proud temperament.
Does he really like Li Xiaoling?
It was, but not now!
He challenged Lin Xiao and duel with Lin Xiao, I'm afraid most of the reason was because he couldn't bear to have his things snatched away by others in this way.
That's all.
"You're right! What I like is the original Li Xiaoling!"
"From the time she scolded me at school today, I already knew that this was not my type of person. ”
Prince Arthur smiled.
"Haha, but this is the real Li Xiaoling, she used to pretend!"
Li Xiaoling next to her showed a playful look and said with a smile.
Tang Qianqian and everyone in the organizer next to him all breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, the best has come out now.
It turned out to be quite a bit of a hostility.
"Haha! Our Mr. Lin and Prince Arthur shook hands and made peace, this is really a great joy, come on, let's toast together, celebrate together!"
At this moment, a male voice suddenly sounded.
Then everyone saw a young Chinese man in a suit, holding a wine glass and smiling towards Lin Xiao and Arthur.
Who is this man?
The vast majority of people were at a loss.
Judging by his appearance and dress, he should belong to the person brought over by Lin Xiao's team.
Tang Qianqian frowned slightly.
She has an impression of this guy.
is Tang Huaiyu's subordinate, a makeup artist in the crew.
However, according to his status, he should purely come to make soy sauce.
At this time, he proposed to raise a glass in front of everyone, which was obviously rude.
But now that he has said it, Tang Qianqian can't say anything, so he can only pick up his wine glass and prepare to drink it with everyone.
"Prince Arthur, don't look at my identity, but our Mr. Lin is a very good person, you don't know ......"
The makeup artist under Tang Huaiyu said with a smile as he walked to Prince Arthur's neighborhood.
At this moment, a mutation suddenly occurred!
With a flick of his wrist, a cold light appeared, and suddenly stabbed Arthur in the chest!
It was too close, it happened so suddenly, and before everyone could even react, the dagger was already on Arthur's chest.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Xiao moved, flicked his wrist, and the long sword he held in his hand just now burst out like a meteor.
Just listen to the pop sound.
Just when the dagger in the makeup artist's hand had already pierced Prince Arthur's clothes and was about to pierce his body, Lin Xiao's long sword threw out directly pierced him to the heart!
The immense force carried him straight out for several meters, and then killed him in the end.
"Ahh
"Someone, protect the prince, protect the prince!"
In the next second, everyone reacted.
The bodyguards outside the door also reacted immediately.
More than two dozen people quickly ran over and directly surrounded Prince Arthur in the middle.
Many of them had already quickly pulled out their pistols from their waists, and all of them were aimed at Lin Xiao in front of them without exception!
"Huh?"
Everyone around was stunned, wondering why these bodyguards did this.
But when he glanced at the guy on the ground, he instantly understood.
This assassin is Lin Xiao's subordinate.
If he wants to kill Arthur, it must be Lin Xiao's instructions!
Wrong wrong.
If it was Lin Xiao's instructions, that guy clearly wanted to assassinate successfully, why would Lin Xiao come to the rescue?
"Put the gun down!"
Prince Arthur was also a little frightened.
But he quickly reacted, and scolded the bodyguard in front of him with a gloomy face.
"Wang Liqiang, you bastard!"
Tang Huaiyu, who was not far away, couldn't help but scold.
The makeup artist who was assassinated just now was called Wang Liqiang, and because he was more loyal to Tang Huaiyu, he brought him to London this time.
But I didn't expect this guy to assassinate Prince Arthur?
"What's going on, Mr. Lin, can you explain it to us?"
Many people around frowned and looked at Lin Xiao, obviously a little hostile.
Even if Lin Xiao rescued Cather at the last moment, the person who assassinated him was from their team after all.
"Old ghost!"
Lin Xiao was expressionless and said lightly.
The old ghost, who had already joined everyone before coming to London, quickly came out of the crowd and came directly to that Wang Liqiang.
