Chapter 116: The Assassin and the Flying Sword
The king of Shonan asked me, "Do you have any opinion about the competition?" β
I arched my hand and replied, "Best, I just want to teach him how to behave." β
King Shonan: "In that case, let's have a competition in this hall now." The state affairs are busy, and after the battle is completed, the winner will be decided, and this farce will be ended as soon as possible, and I will continue to open the court. β
It seems that competition in the palace is a common thing, and the two columns of courtiers consciously move out of the way. After Qian Kun said "be careful" to me, he also stepped aside with the other officials, leaving me staring at the fake, and a little loli pulling my trouser leg.
The fake begged the king of Xiangnan: "The Qingxuan Dao Sect is a sword cultivation sect, please allow us to compete with the sword." β
"Xu."
The king of Shonan signaled to the eunuch on the side, and the old eunuch immediately understood what the king of Shonan meant, and shouted to the guards behind the palace: "Come two, give your sword to the prince and the fake prince." β
The old eunuch's words are still thorny, and at this time he has not yet distinguished who is true and who is false.
The two guards walked over, and the fake took the guard's sword, and played a chic sword flower, if there is really seven or eight points of chivalrous bone fairy wind, at least I can't play such a beautiful sword flower.
"Contrived!"
I cursed.
When another guard gave me the saber, I opened my hand and refused, "I won't use it." β
The fake held the guard's sword and laughed mockingly, "Are you going to compete with me with your bare hands?" Isn't that too confident in yourself? β
"Who said I was going to fight you with my bare hands? The swordsman's sword does not leave his body, and I brought the sword myself! β
I took the little Lori's hand, silently recited the sword mantra, and after a blue light, Lori turned into a sword body and held it in my hand.
The courtiers in the palace were shocked, and the king of Shonan also seemed surprised.
I held Qing Ji and posed for the sword, and said to the fake: "Hmph, I haven't seen it, this is a high-end product, the best in the fairy sword...... Ah! β
Kiyohime knocked me on the head in displeasure, and it hurt so much that I couldn't care about anything, squatting on the ground and covering my head and screaming.
After being surprised, the fake couldn't help but mock me again when he saw such a scene: "Shanye Pifu, if such a good sword falls into your hands, I'm afraid you will either steal or rob it, even if you take the best sword, it is just a layman." β
I raised my sword and threatened him: "You won't have time to be arrogant later!" β
The fake smiled at me disdainfully, and then said to the king of Shonan: "Father, the sword has no eyes when the competition is held, and although the son is not afraid, he is afraid that he will accidentally hurt him and cause blood to splash in the palace, which is not good." β
King Shonan: "So what? Do you want to compete outside the temple? β
The fake shook his head: "Commander Bai is a master with Jindan stage cultivation, as long as he comes over to supervise our competition and help stop it when necessary." β
Next to the dragon chair, Bai Keng, who was dressed in armor, looked at the king of Shonan and asked for instructions, and the king of Shonan nodded in permission. Bai Keng stepped down from the stage, and every step resounded in the hall with the sound of heavy armor rubbing. Until I walked very close to me and the fake, kept a certain distance, pressed one hand on the hilt of the saber at my waist, and was ready to draw the sword at any moment.
Shonan King: "So, if there are no other questions, let's start the competition." β
"Yes!" β
The fake and I responded to the words of the king of Shonan at the same time, and each took a sword pose.
I am a disciple of the Qing Xuan Taoist Sect, although I am not a weapon, but my swordsmanship and martial arts attainments are not comparable to ordinary Jianghu knights. But since this fake dares to pretend to be me, and he is from King's Landing, it is difficult to guarantee that he really has unexpected strength.
Looking at his sword posture carefully, it looked a little familiar, and I really couldn't remember where I had seen it for a while.
"Come!"
The fake attacked me first, and I hurriedly greeted him with Kiyohime's sword, and the two swords collided together, splashing a little spark.
Qing Ji's extraordinary products are comparable, I can split the fan in the hand of the fake into two pieces with a little aura, but since it is a competition and not a life-and-death fight, there is no point in cutting off his sword.
I and the fakes in the temple you go back and forth, sparks splash from time to time streamers, and the sound of metal collision echoes in the temple. Sometimes he advances and I retreat, sometimes I advance and he retreats, all testing the strength of the other party.
I carefully observed the swordsmanship of this thing as I fought, and it became more and more familiar.
That's right!
This is the swordsmanship of the Pond Shadow Falling Flower Palace!
I just remembered that when I was caught in the room of Ding Manlan, the master of the Great Palace, on Peach Blossom Island, Elder Zhangye, who investigated the Shadow Falling Flower Palace, broke in to save me, and said that the dirty transaction between the Shadow Falling Flower Palace and King's Landing Villa was: King's Landing Villa provided Ding Manlan with immortal boys, and Tanying Falling Flower Palace provided Immortal Family Exercises and Treasures for King's Landing Villa, so King's Landing Villa rose rapidly in more than ten years.
And now, the sword technique used by this fake is the Luoying sword technique provided by the Tanying Falling Flower Palace!
After thinking about it, I immediately stepped up my offensive, and teased him while taking out my sword: "No wonder it looks so elegant and gorgeous, it turns out to be a set of women's swordsmanship, which is very suitable for you sissy!" β
The fake's skills are not bad, and he can still remain undefeated even when I step up my offensive, and he calmly replied: "The swordsmanship of the Qingxuan Dao Sect is naturally elegant. β
"! The swordsmanship of the Qingxuan Dao Sect even has a thousand years of killing, and it is a flowing yarn! β
He and I no longer tempted, and used our housekeeping skills to the fullest, and the battle became more intense, and the courtiers in the palace were amazed, and it is estimated that the mortal world will rarely have the opportunity to see such a wonderful sword competition.
It's a pity that there are a lot of people in the hall here, so it's inconvenient to use sword qi moves, otherwise I would use Qing Ji to use the trick "Ten Colors of the Lake" to beat him so much that he can't even recognize it.
But he's no match for me anyway, and he'll only end up losing to me.
Fighting, he was beaten by me and kept retreating.
As he got closer and closer to the stage, suddenly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he released an internal force that shook me away, and he himself was shocked under the stage.
His internal strength itself is not enough to hurt people, and when he releases it, it will make the momentum dissipate, and he is not my opponent. I stood still and wondered what he was doing, but I saw him suddenly turn around and rush towards the stage, and under the panicked shouts of everyone in the court, he showed a sinister smile and stabbed the king of Shonan with all his might.
Worst!
Originally, I wondered what kind of competition he was doing, it turned out that his goal was not me, but to take the opportunity of the competition to get the sword, and then "accidentally" came to the stage in the fight to assassinate the king of Shonan!
Bai Keng, as the supervisor of our competition, opened a distance from the stage, and reacted quickly when the fake suddenly came to the stage to assassinate the king of Shonan, and immediately drew his sword and rushed back, but he couldn't catch up with the matter at this moment.
In front of him, the king of Shonan was about to be assassinated in the main hall in full view of everyone, and everyone had no time to save him.
In the middle of a thousand shots, I threw Kiyohime out without hesitation.
Birds in the forest!
Kiyohime flashed a flash of blue light, and instantly appeared behind the fake.
The fake didn't stop even though he sensed the danger behind him, and he risked his life to stab his sword at the king of Shonan. And in an instant, Qing Ji pierced directly from his back to the front of him, and then inserted it into the golden wall behind the king of Shonan with great momentum, less than half a foot away from the head of the king of Shonan.
The buzz of the sword inserting the golden wall still echoed in the hall, and the big hole in the fake spewed out a stream of blood mist, and he walked to the king of Shonan dejectedly, and the sword in his hand was no longer able to stab down, and he shouted "Long live Cangtong" unwillingly, and was kicked off the stage by the king of Shonan, who was sprayed with blood.
As soon as I waved, Kiyohime bounced off the golden wall, spun in mid-air a few times, and then fell into my hand, where I put away the scabbard.
The guards in the palace rushed over as fast as they could, and after checking the fallen fakes, they nervously reported to the king of Shonan: "It's dead." β
Bai Keng knelt beside the dragon chair to apologize, the old eunuch trembled with a handkerchief to wipe the blood on his face and body for the king of Xiangnan, the ministers were terrified, only the king of Xiangnan, who was almost assassinated to death, despite his anger, was still able to remain calm, even if the tip of the fake sword had just come to him, he did not see any gaffe, this is the real Taishan collapsed in front of him and fearless imperial style.
The king of Xiangnan shouted: "Chen Yong! β
An old man in the palace came out of the ranks, and it was the old man who went to court with me and Qian Kun when he entered the palace.
He bowed his head to the king of Shonan and said, "The old minister is here." β
"You don't have to go to the court to discuss matters today, you can dispose of this corpse for me first. It doesn't matter if you bury him and burn him or feed him to the dogs, I have to give him the fate he deserves. You don't have to report to me after that, I don't want to hear about this person anymore. β
"Wechen obeys."
Chen Yong commanded the guards to drag the corpse out of the hall, and then many guards and eunuchs hurriedly wiped the blood stains in the hall.
While everyone was busy, I still shivered from time to time because I had just killed someone.
It was the same when I stabbed Senior Brother before, and when I stabbed Lihuan in Yuetan Town, I was scared to death every time I stabbed someone. It's okay to brag about it, but I'm more timid than anyone else when I really want to kill someone, and the smell of blood in the air is enough to make me feel the urge to vomit, and I don't dare to look at the corpse of a fake.
After the old eunuch wiped off some of the blood stains for the king of Xiangnan, he persuaded: "Your Majesty, it is better to retire from the dynasty today and go back to the palace to change your clothes." β
King Xiangnan waved his hand: "No need, I haven't seen any danger, don't delay the country's major affairs because of a thief, continue to open the dynasty." β
"But Your Majesty ......"
"Kaichao."
"Yesβ"
The old eunuch helplessly called the guards and eunuchs who were wiping the floor to go out, and the courtiers in the palace consciously stood back in two columns, bowing their heads and waiting for the order of the king of Xiangnan.
I was still standing in the middle of the temple, facing the king of Shonan.
Although the king of Shonan was a little embarrassed, he could still smile lightly and said to me: "Yuyi, I only called you like this now, I won't blame me, right?" β
I put away my lost soul and bowed my hand to the king of Xiangnan and said, "Father, the king is holy and reasonable, how can there be anything to blame?" β
"Hmph."
He smiled more brightly, and the old eunuch on the side also laughed far-fetchedly.
"Yes, although my appearance is a little worse than that of Your Majesty, but I am worthy of being my eldest son, you saved my life at a critical moment just now, and you did a very good job."
I'd be happier if he didn't talk about his looks.
I pretended to say, "Father has won the award." β
"I must give you a heavy reward, although you can boldly bring it up, I don't know what you want except this country?"
