Chapter 190: Fighting in the Ring (3)
Empress Dowager Xiao's name is Xiao Xuan, she is eight years Chinese New Year's Eve old today, she has been the regent of Liao for nine years, and her prestige is growing, so that many royal family members can't raise their heads, if it weren't for the careless loss of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures by Liao, Liao will continue to be shrouded in her sole control.

But even if the Liao State lost the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the royal family members planned to use this matter to force the Empress Dowager Xiao to abdicate, they did not dare to force the Empress Dowager Xiao too much, because they were too afraid of her.
These officials on the viewing platform are just subordinates of those members of the royal family, and they are even more afraid of Empress Dowager Xiao, seeing her coming, even if they know that she is buying people's hearts, no one dares to refute it.
After the Empress Dowager Xiao pacified the people, she walked to the main seat of the viewing platform and sat down, and the officials naturally did not dare to say more, so she let her dominate.
After sitting down, Empress Dowager Xiao said: "I heard that there are seven people in the Great Song Dynasty, and since there have been five battles, I will simply compare the remaining two together, so as to save others from saying that we are strong in Liao." ā
Naturally, the officials of the Liao State did not dare to object, otherwise the people watching the battle below would definitely drown them with saliva, so they could only announce that the game would continue.
But after waiting for a while, no one from the Liao country came to the stage, and the Empress Dowager Xiao swept her beautiful eyes, only to find that the Liao warriors who were originally ready to go to the stage actually looked like they were watching a good show, and stayed in the audience.
She didn't know that these people were trying to embarrass her!
Angrily clenching the jade hand in her sleeve, Empress Dowager Xiao asked, "Where is Yelu Longqing?" ā
"The child is here."
A slightly green voice sounded, followed by a young figure flying into the ring.
"It's the second prince of Emperor Jingzong." Some of the people below were amazed.
Zhao Gu and Li Fu glanced at each other again, looked at Yelu Longqing, and found that this was a beautiful man with a tall figure and sword eyebrows.
Yelu Longqing was about seventeen or eighteen years old, full of heroic spirit, holding a spear, standing there quietly, and he already had the momentum of being a husband and a man.
The two couldn't help frowning, this Yelu Longqing is the younger brother of the current emperor of Liao, the second prince of Empress Dowager Xiao and Liao Jingzong, he is so good, it is not a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty.
After Yelu Longqing came to power, he first politely hugged his fist at the Empress Dowager Xiao, and then looked at Zhao Gu: "I have heard for a long time that Zhao Gu, the Marquis of Zhuozhou County in the Great Song Dynasty, is rare in the world, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation, but I don't know which general Zhao Houye will send to fight with me." ā
Zhao Gu sent an envoy to Liao, which originally meant to support the Empress Dowager Xiao, and he was naturally polite to Yelu Longqing, and he didn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, since Yelu Longqing praised Zhao Gu, Zhao Gu naturally wanted to return the courtesy.
I only heard him say: "When Ben Hou was in the Great Song Dynasty, I also heard that Emperor Liao Jingzong had a son, named Yelu Longqing, who was heroic, strong in martial arts, and quite familiar with military law. ā
After speaking, Zhao Gu nodded at Xiao Er, and he immediately jumped and landed opposite Yelu Longqing.
"Please." Little Erdao.
Yelu Longqing speared: "Please." ā
The two said goodbye, and immediately fought together.
The weapon used by Xiao Er is a thin sword, which is extremely fast and tricky, and the spear used by Yelu Longqing is a fierce path, although it is a little slow, but it is powerful and heavy, just to restrain Xiao Er's thin sword.
The two of you go back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, they have exchanged more than 100 moves, but they still don't know whether they win or lose, although the fight is dangerous, but no one is injured, and I can't see who has the advantage.
Zhao Gu also understood a little at this time, Empress Dowager Xiao did not only come to buy the hearts of the people, but also to build momentum for Yelu Longqing.
At this time, the Liao State was newly defeated, and the sixteen states of Yanyun were recaptured by the Great Song Dynasty, and it was when the people were looking forward to a war, and he pushed out his son with strong martial arts at this time, which was bound to allow him to gain countless people's hearts and increase the bargaining chips of the Empress Dowager Xiao.
The ministers of the Liao State naturally know this, but the people with strong martial arts under their hands have already played, even if they don't play, they can't beat Xiao Er, but Yelu Longqing can be on par with Xiao WWII, they can only be in a hurry on the side, and they can only blame Yelu Longqing for being too strong.
Slowly, Xiao Er and Yelu Longqing fought until more than two hundred moves, Yelu Longqing finally gradually lost the wind, and the people of Liao had great hopes for him, but seeing this, they could only sigh in a low voice.
But no one abused him anymore, Yelu Longqing was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and it was no shame to be able to fight here, and the people could tell the difference.
After another dangerous move, Yelu Longqing was forced to make a flaw by Xiao Er, taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Er picked up Yelu Longqing's spear with a thin sword, and then put the thin sword on Yelu Longqing's neck.
Yelu Longqing was stunned and said with a wry smile: "I lost." ā
"Concession."
Xiao Er put away his sword and returned to stand behind Zhao Gu, Yelu Longqing also stood behind Empress Dowager Xiao, and whispered: "Queen Mother, I lost." ā
Empress Dowager Xiao smiled slightly, like a breeze blowing the surface of a lake, and said: "It's okay, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it will be won back in the future." ā
"Yes."
Empress Dowager Xiao looked at everyone and asked, "So, there is only one last competition left?" ā
All the officials nodded, and Empress Dowager Xiao said again: "Then let Lao Jin go up." ā
The officials of the Liao State were surprised for a while, and many of them trembled as if they had heard some ghost story, and lowered their heads in unison.
"Old Kim? Who's that? Zhao Gu didn't understand why the officials of the Liao State were so scared, so he asked Li Fudao.
Li Fu also shook his head, saying that he was also unclear, but Xiao Qi replied directly: "Lao Jin is the number one master of the Liao State, in the first battle of the Gaoliang River, he was the one who shot the emperor off the horse, he was the guard of Liao Jingzong, and later became the guard of the Empress Dowager Xiao, my master once said that even if he fought with Lao Jin desperately, only fifty percent sure that he could kill him." ā
Even Xiao Qi's master can only compete with Lao Jin?
Zhao Gu and Li Fu finally understood the reason why the officials of the Liao State were so scared, Xiao Qi and they were so powerful, so how could Lao Jin, who was as powerful as their master, not be afraid!
Zhao Gu looked at Xiao Yi: "How sure are you that you can win?" ā
Xiao Yi smiled wryly: "I'm fifty percent sure that I can delay thirty moves." ā
Hearing his answer, Zhao Gu also smiled bitterly, fortunately, his side had won five games in the first few games, otherwise with Lao Jin's combat power, Da Song would be embarrassed if he didn't do it well today.
And the result of the fact was as Xiao Yi expected, after he came to power and started to fight with Lao Jin, he only survived thirty moves, and was knocked out of the ring by Lao Jin with a palm, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
