The former Assassin turned into a steppe messenger, but in just a few days, the prisoners under the stairs were able to sit on their own footing, and the things in this world were truly amazing.

Tang Ning's gaze swept over Wan Yan Yan, and then focused on what was in front of him.

The banquet at Honglu Temple is a formal state banquet, with low tables for one person on both sides, and several dancing girls dancing to the sound of music in the hall.

Halfway through the banquet, Honglu Shaoqing got up and left the table, and asked with a smile: "The envoys of the two countries came from afar, I don't know if I can still get used to the dishes of my Chu country, the customs of Chu are different from those of the two countries, if there is any neglect, please forgive me." ”

He Rui looked at Tang Ning, got up and arched his hand: "Chen and Chu have been friends since ancient times, and there are many similarities in this meal, so we are used to it. ”

He Rui is a Honglu Temple Cheng, who is good at dealing with such a scene, and pulls the other party to the same camp with one sentence.

The young man beside Wan Yan Yan held a folding fan in his hand, stood up, and said: "I have heard for a long time that the dishes of Chen and Chu are exquisite, and when I see them today, they are really extraordinary, and the grasslands are full of brave and warlike warriors, and they are far inferior to the Han people in cooking food." ”

These words were clearly praised and depreciated, secretly satirizing Chen and Chu, and the two countries can only cook, and they are real warriors.

Honglu Shaoqing looked at him and said: "I have long heard that the men on the grassland are good at riding and archery, wrestling, and today there is a chance, I wonder if the second prince can let us see the bravery, the warriors on the grassland?" ”

Tang Ning glanced up at Honglu Shaoqing, to be able to sit in this position, it was impossible for him not to hear what the second prince had just alluded to, but not only did he not maintain the dignity of the Chu State, but he followed this person's words, if his Honglu Shaoqing's position was not obtained by going through the back door, there was some bad motive.

Honglu Shaoqing walked to the front, arched his hand to King Xin, and said, "Lord Wang, why don't you let them perform, so that you can help this banquet......

King Xin's face was calm, and he said, "There is nothing to do left and right, so it's good to take a look." ”

The young man looked behind him and said, "Hulihan, Ah Huli, you two come forward and let them see the bravery of my steppe warriors." ”

The dancing girl in the hall retreated, and two prairie men stepped forward.

In terms of size alone, these two grassland men are much taller and more powerful than the Han people, and the muscles on their bare arms are bulging, graceful like wild beasts, which is very visually impactful.

This is related to their deep concepts and beliefs in the bone marrow, the grassland people, including the little barbarians, all think that real men should eat meat and drink wine, and those who can tear jackals and split tigers and leopards are real men, while Chen Chu's concepts are just the opposite.

The traditional concept in their bones makes them think that the grassland is a group of reckless men, only the imperial examination can reflect the charm of a man, and the champion is the man among men.

The two prairie men walked into the hall, bowed down, put their hands on each other's shoulders, shouted loudly, and threw themselves together.

The sport they are engaged in at the moment is wrestling, which is commonly known as wrestling, which is equivalent to an alternative competition, and the person who throws the opponent to the ground first is the winner, and the test is the use of strength and skill.

For Tang Ning, wrestling is naturally not as spectacle as the competition, this kind of reckless man with brute force, even if there are a few more, he can easily win.

But no matter what, this kind of collision of muscles and muscles, coupled with the shouting and roaring of the two, was still a little shocking, and He Rui, who was sitting next to Tang Ning, saw his eyes wide open and his face was afraid.

Bang!

In the end, the slightly thinner man was thrown to the ground by his opponent, and the winner of the wrestling was decided.

Honglu Shaoqing stepped forward and exclaimed: "The warriors on the grassland are really brave. ”

The winner of the wrestling did not go down, but turned around, looked at Lu Teng in light armor, and said a few words.

Honglu Shaoqing turned his head, looked at the second prince, and said in surprise: "What did this warrior say?" ”

The second prince said with a smile: "Hu Lihan wants to compete with this general, I don't know if this general dares to fight." ”

When He Rui heard this, his eyelids jumped, and he immediately turned his head and said, "Commander Lu, don't be impulsive......"

The second prince looked at the man and said, "Hu Lihan, go down, you have so much strength, it will not be good if you hurt this general." ”

Lu Teng stood up and said, "Lu Teng, please advise." ”

He Rui looked at Tang Ning and said worriedly: "Lord Tang, Lu leads him ......"

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about Lord He, Commander Lu knows it in his heart. ”

Lu Teng is also the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, he was born in the general, and he can't beat Tang Shui and Tang Xiaoxiao, and he can't even deal with a reckless man on the grassland, so Emperor Chen will let him escort the mission with confidence?

Honglu Shaoqing stepped forward again and looked at King Xin.

King Shin waved his hand and said, "Then let them compare." ”

Honglu Shaoqing walked over, looked at the two of them and said, "This competition, until the point is reached, whoever falls to the ground first will lose." ”

The man named Hu Lihan stood opposite Lu Teng, and after Honglu Shaoqing announced the start, he pounced on Lu Teng.

He grabbed Lu Teng's shoulder, grinned, and strained slightly, but the person opposite did not move.

There was a hint of surprise on his face, and with half of his strength, he still couldn't shake the person opposite.

Seventy percent, ninety percent ......, when he used all his strength and his face turned red, Lu Teng finally moved.

He grabbed the man by the waist and lifted him up directly.

Lu Teng threw it out, returned to his position, arched his hand, and said, "Accept." ”

Not only the officials of the Chu State, but even the people of the grassland opened their mouths in surprise.

After the second prince reacted, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "This general is very capable!" ”

It is the basic skill of people who practice martial arts, and it has even become instinct, and when it comes to basic skills, Tang Ning may not have Lu Teng to be solid.

The man got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, looked at Lu Teng, and said disapprehensively: "Wrestling, count you as winning, do you dare to compete in archery?" ”

"Hulihan, go down." The second prince glanced at him and said, "Don't mess around." ”

"It doesn't matter." King Xin stepped forward and said, "The banquet is almost over, whether it is lively or lively, this king also wants to see the archery skills of the steppe warriors." ”

The second prince arched his hand and said, "Then it's ugly." ”

Honglu Shaoqing stepped forward and said, "It's a narrow place here, and you can't use it, so it's better to go outside." ”

At this point, if you don't accept the challenge, it means that you are afraid and dare not fight, and Tang Ning didn't say much.

The grassland people are good at riding and shooting, many of them are bows without leaving their bodies, before entering the Honglu Temple, the weapons are temporarily stored in the gatehouse, and at this moment they are taking two bows.

Honglu Shaoqing looked at a subordinate behind him and said, "Go find a target." ”

"Don't be that troublesome." The second prince shook his head, took out an apple from his sleeve, and said, "Why don't you put this apple on top of your head, and whoever can shoot an apple from thirty paces away will win." ”

A hint of hesitation appeared on Honglu Shaoqing's face, and he said, "This is not good, what if you shoot someone?" ”

The second prince smiled and said, "If anyone is afraid, admit defeat." ”

"Hulihan." He put the apple on his head and said, "You shoot first." ”

The big man walked thirty paces away, took his bow and shot it.

Shout!

There was only a sound of breaking wind, and the arrow pierced the apple above his head, and the arrow sank into the wall.

The officials of Honglu Temple couldn't help but gasp, if this arrow went down two or three inches, the second prince of the grassland would have to be splashed with blood on the spot.

It can be seen that he is extremely confident in this man's archery.

The second prince stroked the messy hair on the top of his head, looked at Tang Ning and Lu Teng, and said with a smile: "It's your turn." ”

An official had already handed over the apple, Tang Ning looked at He Rui, He Rui's face changed, he covered his forehead, and immediately said: "Lord Tang, the official is not well......
