Chapter 473: Compete in public

Everyone present knew that the people of Baiyi Country had grown up on the grassland since they were children, and they were good at all kinds of fighting, riding and archery, and looking at the tone of the envoy just now, it seemed that they wanted to give the Great Li Dynasty a dismount, but they didn't know that the Great Li Dynasty had never lacked skilled martial arts talents, and they couldn't help but secretly laugh at Baiyi in their hearts.

For a while, everyone present was secretly competing in their hearts, and Shen Zeyuan laughed and said: "Zhong Aiqing wants to come forward and try his skills, don't worry." ”

Many martial champions are eager to try, but no one has yet stepped forward, and no one dares to be this budding bird. At this time, Gu Fengmian looked left and right, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to give it a try." ”

Shen Zeyuan nodded approvingly: "Well, you can." ”

Ouyang Xue's heart tightened, worried that he was injured and wanted to get up to stop it, Gu Fengmian glanced at her and signaled her not to worry, and then walked to the envoy of Baiyi Country and raised his hand to clasp his fist and saluted, indicating that he would ask for advice.

Ouyang Xue glanced at Song Shuyan again, wanting her to help persuade Gu Fengmian, Song Shuyan looked at her with a smile and lowered her chin slightly to signal her not to worry too much and believe him. Ouyang Xue tidied up her appearance again and sat down again.

The men of Baiyi Country are all tall, looking at Gu Fengmian's "weak" appearance, they are secretly laughing at him in their hearts, no one wants to come forward to compete with him, it seems that they feel that competing with such a person is lowering themselves.

After a while, no one stepped forward, Gu Fengmian said, "What, are you afraid of losing?"

It was this sentence that angered the envoys of the Baiyi Kingdom, and the man who thought that he was sturdy and richly dressed stood up and shouted, "Get up, I'll come!" and then stepped forward without the envoy sitting in front.

"Heh, just like you, we Baiyi men can fight ten at a time, I didn't come up just now because I didn't want people to think that we were bullying you, since you are so ignorant, then I will teach you what a man is, hahahaha!" the man said.

All the envoys of the Baiyi Kingdom burst into laughter, and in the end, one of the envoys saw that he was a little too much, and stepped forward to say to Shen Zeyuan: "Your Majesty, this is the prince of our Baiyi Kingdom, Prince Shabak, he is the first to come forward to compete." ”

Shen Zeyuan looked at the sturdy Prince Shabak and waved his hand in agreement. Prince Shabak didn't seem to look down on the emperors of the Great Calendar Dynasty very much, so he didn't look at Shen Zeyuan squarely.

The two walked to the center of the main hall, and the consul and eunuch beside Shen Zeyuan announced the rules-

The competition is divided into three rounds, the first round of swordsmanship, requiring the two to hit each other's vital points within three moves, and the point is up. One point is awarded to the winner of the second round.

The second round of archery is a competition, requiring two people to hit three gray pigeons in a group of white pigeons within three steps of 100 meters away, and the side with the largest number of gray pigeons in this round wins, one point.

The third round is a martial arts competition, requiring two people to grab the gold token placed on the elevated stand when beating the drum, and whoever is in the hand of the gold token when the drum stops, who wins, and one point is counted.

After hearing the competition items and rules, everyone became interested, and Shen Zeyuan asked the two if they could object, and both of them said, "No." Then the first round of the competition began.

Although Prince Basak was tall, he was not particularly good at using a sword, and this small sword looked like an enlarged brush in his hand, which looked a little funny. Gu Fengmian didn't take his previous provocation to heart, and stepped forward with his hands clenched into fists: "Admit it!"

Prince Basak also clenched his fists with both hands, and then got up and stabbed at Gu Fengmian's side, Gu Fengmian flashed quickly, swinging his sword straight at Prince Basak's neck, Prince Basak was caught off guard and almost continued to rush forward, Gu Fengmian grabbed his wrist.

At this moment, the hand of the Bashak prince holding the sword quickly withdrew and stabbed at Gu Fengmian, Gu Fengmian quickly dodged, the Bashak prince used his physical advantage to block Gu Fengmian's rear, Gu Fengmian kicked under his feet, and the whole movement of rotation and jumping was very agile, not dragging mud and water, quickly getting out of the encirclement, and everyone shouted: "Okay!"

Prince Bashak almost stabbed Gu Fengmian, Ouyang Xue was so anxious that he almost stood up and shouted to stop, but this was not an ordinary competition, Gu Fengmian represented not only himself, but also the Great Li Dynasty, Ouyang Xue clenched his handkerchief with both hands to restrain his impulse.

Before Bashak could react, Gu Fengmian quickly flashed to his back and stabbed him in the throat with the hilt of the sword, and before he could react and take out the sword, Gu Fengmian stopped suddenly and said, "Prince Bashak, you lost." ”

Some of the people present cheered, some were indignant, Shen Zeyuan and Song Shuyan glanced at each other, and then said with a smile: "Aiqing is good at swordsmanship, hahahaha." ”

Gu Fengmian withdrew his hand and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise." Prince Bashak angrily dropped his sword, Gu Fengmian looked at Ouyang Xue, as if to tell her that he had won, Ouyang Xue also looked at him with a smile and nodded.

"In the first round, Mr. Gu wins, and one point is counted. The consular eunuch announced.

"In the second round of archery, please move to the grassland. ”

After the defeat in the previous round, Prince Bashak looked bound to win this time, and with the steppe people's knack for using arrows, he was even more proud.

The two men drew arrows with bows, and after hundreds of pigeons were released from the basket by soldiers a hundred meters away, they began to look for the gray pigeons. Bashak fired three arrows in a volley, hitting two white doves and one gray dove at once, and all the envoys of Baiyi Kingdom applauded.

Gu Fengmian jumped up and stretched an arrow straight, shot it quickly, and hit two gray pigeons with one arrow, everyone was even more surprised, and shouted in unison.

In the second round, Gu Fengmian won, and one point was counted.

Prince Basak was very annoyed, and he was even more imperative for the third round of the competition, "The drumming time is three minutes, the drummer stops, and whoever has the gold token is the winner of this round." "The referee re-emphasized the rules.

As soon as the drum sounded, Prince Bashak gave up climbing the high platform, but instead hugged Gu Fengmian's waist and lifted him up and threw him to the ground. Everyone expressed surprise at his move, but before His Majesty could say anything, he did not dare to say anything and continued to watch the game.

Gu Fengmian didn't expect him to come out like this first, and after he fell, he wrapped his feet tightly around him, and Bashak wanted to punch him when he saw him like this, but he turned around and dodged. Basak crashed into the platform, which was erected with a shelf and quickly collapsed, and the token fell.

Gu Fengmian got up and rushed to get the token, Prince Basak rubbed his head and was about to grab it, but in the end he was still a step slower, and Gu Fengmian got the token first. Prince Basak was about to swing his fist again, when the drumming stopped.
