The martial arts competition is about to begin, and the female emperor finally arrived in the spotlight on a dragon in the spotlight, she is still a son of heaven, richly dressed, and majestic; In recent days, the female emperor has appeared more frequently in public, although everyone's curiosity about the mystery of the female emperor has been reduced by a few points, but at this moment when they see the female emperor, they are still respectful, and the female emperor has just entered the ring, and everyone has stood up and saluted, shouting long live!

The Empress dismounted from the high platform and slowly walked to the dragon chair amid the cheers of the crowd, enjoying the applause as she had been madly obsessed with power in this life. The female emperor finally sat down on the dragon chair, she turned her head and glanced at the prince, and she also saw the officers and family members behind the prince. Seeing this, the prince hurriedly saluted and wanted to step forward to make a report, but the female emperor waved her hand and shook her head slightly, signaling the prince not to report, as if he had known the inside story.

This scene between her and the crown prince naturally also saw it in the eyes of Princess Taiping, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, it seems that something is wrong, could it be that Li Sanlang has already reported to His Majesty? This little man who doesn't keep his word! Princess Taiping scolded silently in her heart! But how could Princess Taiping know that since the prince and the king entered the palace today, the female emperor has arranged for Gao Lishi to monitor several of them, and everyone's every move has been reported to the female emperor at any time.

After the female emperor sat down, everyone's eyes fell on the person beside her, this person was about forty years old, the woman was wearing a narrow-sleeved round-necked man's dress, heroic, with outstanding grace and charm between the eyebrows, this person was Shangguan Wan'er, who had not been seen in the court for many days, and the female emperor was the most trusted person.

The person who presided over today's martial arts duel was still Zhang Changzong, he saw that the female emperor had sat down, so he walked into the ring and stood in the middle of the ring, he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and the ring was suddenly silent, Zhang Changzong began to say loudly: "In accordance with the edict of His Majesty, the military duel will be held here today, and the first warrior of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be selected, and the lamp will be lit with His Majesty tomorrow to worship the Buddha!" This is destiny! Therefore, I hope that the princes and ministers and the envoys will do their best to live up to their reputation! He looked around and continued: "The rules of today's competition are as follows: 1. You can bring your own blade, but you are not allowed to use hidden weapons and poisons, and those who violate the rules will be judged to lose; 2. When the two sides compete, one side falls into the ring, takes the initiative to lose, and those who are unable to fight again will lose! 3. There is no order in today's competition, and the challenger can go directly to the stage, and the final one who is convinced by the crowd will win! Now please ask Your Majesty to announce the beginning of the military duel! ”

Everyone's eyes returned to the female emperor again, the female emperor held the dragon chair in her hand, trembled and slowly stood up, Shangguan Wan'er on the side saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help, after the female emperor got up completely, looked around, and said loudly: "Warriors, this matter is a gift from God, I hope you can show your strengths today and live up to the sky!" When the female emperor said this, cheers broke out in the ring again, and the surrounding forbidden army and Yulin army also shouted in unison as if they were at the royal horse farm that day: "Long live!" Win! The voice of the people was a little quieter, and the female emperor continued to say loudly: "I declare that the military duel has begun!" Warriors, fight! The female emperor said that, and slowly sat back on the dragon chair, and at the same time the uniform war drums sounded in the ring, and the sound spread for hundreds of miles, making people listen to the blood boiling and eager to try!

But the rules of today's martial arts competition, inevitably prohibitive, there is no competition order, the person who plays first must be disadvantaged, if it is several battles in a row, in the later stage, it must be physically weak, maybe it will be defeated like this, so no one is on the field for a while.

The sound of war drums has not stopped, this is to summon the warriors on the field, but after a few beatings, the ring is still empty, and the scene is a little embarrassing for a while. As soon as the female emperor raised her hand and signaled the war drums to stop, she looked serious and said slowly: "Warriors! Where is your courage? I have made this rule today to see who has the most courage! Can you have the confidence to beat the crowd and fight to the end, so can you convince me? The female emperor couldn't help but shake her head lightly, and her eyes inadvertently looked at the prince, but she noticed the person behind the prince, dressed in white and handsome, it was Pei Min! The female emperor suddenly smiled, thought about it, and continued to say loudly: "Do you still remember that a few days ago, in the royal racecourse, there was a great hero with one enemy and ten - Sword Saint Pei Min! ”

When everyone heard this, they replied in unison: "Remember! The female emperor suddenly mentioned herself, but it was unexpected by Pei Min, he was not cowardly, he just wanted to observe, and then come to the stage to fight, but he didn't expect His Majesty to mention his name suddenly at this moment, and Pei Min also guessed seven or eight points; The prince turned around and whispered to Pei Min: "Pei Daxia, if it really doesn't work, let's go first!" Pei Min nodded.

The female emperor continued: "Today, I will be the master, and this battle will be fought by the Sword Master!" As soon as the words fell, the arena suddenly boiled, as the saying goes, "It's not a big deal to watch the excitement!" "Most of the people present today are here to watch the battle, of course they want to see excellent skills and competitions, and at this moment Pei Min wants to play, which has aroused everyone's enthusiasm.

Seeing this, Pei Min was of course inconvenient to shirk, so he got up with his sword and wanted to go to the ring. Li Ke on the side hurriedly whispered: "Brother Pei, be careful, if there is a change on the stage, Li will give up his life to help!" In order to prevent others from noticing Li Ke, Pei Min didn't look back, just answered in a whisper, walked to the ring, and when he arrived at the ring, he jumped and jumped directly into the ring more than one person high. This leap was not simple, and everyone saw it in their eyes, and immediately burst into cheers; Pei Min walked to the middle of the ring, bowed to the female emperor, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your love, Pei Min is ordered to come to the stage to fight!" The Empress smiled with satisfaction and nodded.

Pei Min continued to salute the stands on all sides, and said loudly: "Heroes, Pei is not talented, on the orders of His Majesty, he will take the lead in defending today, and I hope that all heroes will come to the stage to give advice!" The female emperor didn't speak, and before Pei Min came to the stage, there were still a few people eager to try, but now everyone saw that Pei Min was standing in the ring, and no one responded for a while; Pei Min said what he just said three times in a row, but no one came to the stage.

At this moment, Wu Sansi suddenly stood up, and everyone's eyes were attracted by him, could it be that he wanted to send someone to fight? I saw a smile at the corner of Wu Sansi's mouth, but instead said loudly to the Tubo envoy in the stands: "Tubo envoy, that day Pei Jiansheng defeated Ru Tubo with one enemy and ten enemies, is it possible that Tubo doesn't even have the courage to send people to fight today?" There was no hint of sarcasm in his tone. The other vassal states were worried that no one would take the lead, and just as Wu Sansi took the lead, everyone listened to it, and they also coaxed, put together the excitement, and instigated Tubo to fight, and they also wanted to see the strength of this Pei Jiansheng in front of them.

Everyone made such a fuss, the Tubo envoys were forced to be full of red, both angry and ashamed, that day the royal horse farm battle, Tubo was a big loss of face, today is the time to save face, so Tubo is also fully prepared, but they planned to fight later to improve the chances of victory, but they did not expect Wu Sansi to be aggressive, and forced Tubo to this part at the beginning. The Tibetan envoy immediately replied loudly: "King Hugh of Liang wants to underestimate others, my Tubo country is here today to win the championship!" ”

As soon as the envoy said this, Wu Sansi looked up to the sky and smiled, and continued: "Oh! Winning the championship? Then please ask the envoy to hurry up, and this king can open his eyes! ”

The Tibetan envoy no longer paid attention to Wu Sansi, turned around and bowed humbly to the person beside him, and whispered: "The matter has come to this point, it seems that only Lao Guoshi can make a move at this moment!" ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on the man again, only to see that the man was dressed as a red-clothed lama, holding a rosary, and at this moment covered his face with a turban, and after listening to the envoy, he put down the rosary in his hand, and slowly lifted the turban with both hands, gradually revealing his face; This person's eyebrows have been white, but the spirit is full, his eyes are firm, his cheeks are a little thin, he slowly stood up from his seat, Pei Min and Li Ke finally saw this person's face clearly, so they all looked surprised, this person is the Tubo national teacher Ba Siba - the first master of Tantra, but also the first master of the Tubo country, many years ago, has been invincible in the Western Regions, and then devoted himself to cultivating Buddhism, the Tubo country respected it, and was regarded as the national teacher. For Ba Siba, Pei Min and Li Ke also met him by chance many years ago, but they have never really seen him make a move, and it is indeed surprising that Tubo actually invited him here this time.

The prince saw Pei Min's astonishment, could it be that even he had someone to fear? So he whispered to Li Ke and asked how Ba Siba was? Li Keyan stopped, and the prince was also cold, and said with a panicked face: "How is this good? In case Pei Daxia is defeated, can you be sure of victory? ”

Li Ke thought about it, shook his head, and replied: "If Brother Pei is defeated, Li Mouzi will not have the confidence to win!" Speaking of this, the prince couldn't help but be a little depressed, Li Ke continued: "But please rest assured, we have never seen him make a move, and it may not be an exaggeration, I hope that he is already old, and he may not be Brother Pei's opponent!" ”

This did not completely dispel the prince's concerns, he continued: "It is not an exaggeration, since Tubo can enshrine him as a national teacher, it is not simple, we... Let's wait and see. ”

While the two were talking, Ba Siba had already entered the ring and stood in front of Pei Min. Pei Min hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying, "Master, I didn't expect you to come too!" ”

Ba Siba replied: "The afterlife is terrifying! I'm here today to save face, and the young man doesn't have to be formal, although he should fight! ”

Pei Min nodded lightly and replied, "Then I hope the master will teach you!" ”
