Chapter 304: Competition!
Three days later, Chu Han's 60th birthday of the emperor of Chu State was held in the palace, and hundreds of civil and military officials came to congratulate him, and the rare treasures as a birthday gift were piled up.
The splendid palace hall sings and dances, the silk and bamboo are pleasant, and the hundred officials sing praises to the emperor, and the words of praise are endless. After Chu Han accepted the courtiers' greetings, he ordered a wine banquet to be arranged, and after a while, the hall was staggered, and the smell of wine was bursting.
Among these birthday celebrations, the most noble status is Zhu Houzhao. He was placed on Chu Han's left, and on his right was the ancestor of the Chu family. This old monster hasn't shown up for many years, and if it weren't for Zhu Houzhao's appearance this time, it is estimated that he would not have come out.
On the side of Zhu Houzhao and those people were a cadre of the Qin State, and their leaders were Li Si and Meng Tian. Further on, there are guests from a number of countries. Obviously, this kind of ranking was specially arranged by the Chu State!
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, someone at the banquet got up and saluted Chu Han and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu, it is said that the founding emperor established the country by force and laid down these tens of millions of miles of rivers and mountains. Moreover, just such a villain like a bandit, where did he get the qualifications to be on the seat! ”
When this person said the back, he couldn't help but point to Li Si and Meng Tian of the Qin State.
The ministers were furious when they heard this, but when they looked at the messenger, they opened their mouths, not knowing how to refute it. This person is none other than Renjian, the prince of the Moon Worship Kingdom.
The envoy of the Tianyang Kingdom who was sitting at the bottom looked confused, he was still about to say this, why was his lines snatched away?
Although Tianyang Kingdom is a vassal state of Chu State, it is rich in masters, and its number is not inferior to that of Chu State, and the number of warriors is extremely large, which is second to none among small countries. They came here this time with the intention of coming over to show off, and of course they didn't dare to offend the Chu State ruthlessly, just to let other vassal countries know how powerful they were. But these words are still brewing, and the Moon Worship Country is the first to speak!
In fact, a few months ago, no one would have thought that the Moon Worship Congress would come to congratulate Emperor Chu on his birthday, even if the most person who came was a messenger of the Ministry of Rites, it would be a prince who didn't want to come!
"Oh? So how do you think you should rank? Chu Han squinted and said, there was no joy or anger on his face.
"Hmph, these kinds of bandits should be beaten out with sticks, and An Neng is listed on this kind of seat?" Renjian held his head high and said coldly.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao asked casually: "Old Chu, who is this guy?" Is this look showing off his nostrils or nose hair? ”
"Hmph, I don't care who you are, but what's the point of being stubborn? Have the ability to fight a fight! Whoever is going to lose, kneel down and kowtow to admit defeat! Renjian raised his head and lowered it, but his words were full of anger.
can be on an equal footing with Emperor Chu, and his status is naturally not low. Therefore, Ren Jian didn't dare to say that he wanted to kill Zhu Houzhao, in the end, although the Moon Worship Kingdom was strong, it was not stronger than the Chu State...... Well, although they think they are much stronger than the Chu State!
"What? Do you want to be compared to Lonely? Interesting, really interesting! ”
Zhu Houzhao's face was a little strange, and he seemed to be interested.
The civil and military officials of Chu State and the relatives of the emperor also looked strange when they heard this, Chu Han looked happy, this kid is really interesting!
The faces of the envoys of several other countries also became a little strange, they came a few days in advance, how could they not know this Ming crown prince? Even if they didn't know much, the little bit of information they learned didn't dare to provoke him. The reason why Tianyang Kingdom wants to compete is that it also means to show his face in front of Zhu Houzhao!
But thinking that the prince of the Moon Worship Kingdom only entered the city last night, everyone also understood.
"Just say that you dare not compare, whoever loses kowtows to lose! If the prince wins, he will also ask the emperor of Chu to drive out those bandits. Renjian pointed at Li Si and Meng Tian again.
"Cheng, if you say a few games, you will compare a few games, and if you lose, you will be determined according to what you say!" Zhu Houzhao said with his eyes shining. He has liked to practice martial arts since he was a child, and he has done many absurd things for this reason.
"Three wins in five games, the person who competes cannot be more than fifty years old! I also ask Emperor Chu to prepare a venue for us. Renjian said confidently.
Emperor Chu looked at Zhu Houzhao: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think?" ”
"Do what he said, I'm a little tired of playing these days, it's just right to try!" Zhu Houzhao said with anticipation.
"Then go to the martial arts arena of the palace!"
Chu Han waved his hand and swayed!
Everyone followed Emperor Chu to the martial arts arena of the palace, Chu Han sat on the central stand, the old monster accompanied him on the right side, and Zhu Houzhao and others sat on the left side. The old monster was flanked by the queen and several princes and two princesses, while the ministers and envoys sat on the sides and on the lower stands.
After settling down, a man who looked to be in his forties appeared in the Moon Worship Country with a sword on his back. He stood in the middle of the field and bowed to Chu Han, but did not kneel, obviously he was self-sustaining and cultivated, and his status was extraordinary!
After the middle-aged man finished his rudeness, he asked loudly: "I don't know, who came down to teach!" ”
"This first battle is coming alone!"
After that, without waiting for the people around him to stop him, Zhu Houzhao had already untied the big coat on his body and went down wearing a crown dress, which was worn because today was the banquet of Emperor Chu. But see the five chapters of Xuanyi: the dragon is on both shoulders, the mountain is on the back, and the fire, the Chinese worm, and Zong Yi are on the two sleeves, three in each sleeve; Four chapters of dress: algae, powdered rice, yellow, and yellow.
This costume is very luxurious, and the middle-aged man who saw it was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Do you want to change your clothes and come again?" ”
"No, what do you have to change into when you beat you? Three moves and two formulas are solved! Zhu Houzhao said loudly.
If he hadn't seen the identity of the other party, how could the people around Zhu Houzhao dare to let him go? also knew Zhu Houzhao's temperament, so he didn't stop him much.
However, these words were extremely harsh in the ears of the middle-aged man, and he was furious in his heart, and replied coldly: "In the next week, I learned the sword at the age of five, and it has been thirty-seven years now, the late stage of the fourth order!" If you are invincible, you can ask for mercy, and you will spare your life. ”
Zhu Houzhao said: "Lonely five years old to learn martial arts, it has been twenty-three years so far, the middle of the sixth order!" If you are not defeated, you can also beg for mercy, and Lone will definitely spare your life. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Many of them knew some information about Zhu Houzhao, but in terms of strength...... There are few people who understand, after all, no one has ever seen Zhu Houzhao make a move.
And now that Zhu Houzhao said this, they were all shocked!
Twenty-eight years old in the middle of the sixth order, what a terrifying strength this is? How could a mortal be so cultivated?
"Hmph, it's really a good job!" Zhou Yufeng's old face turned red, he thought that Zhu Houzhao had deceived him, looking through history, there was no one who could have sixth-order strength before the age of thirty in the past thousand years!
"Okay, don't talk nonsense with you, let's do it! Give you a chance to make a move, otherwise you won't have a chance. Zhu Houzhao walked casually in front of Zhou Yufeng.
"Then you're welcome!"
Zhou Yufeng let out a low shout, his wrist flipped, and the long sword was already in his hands. The next moment, the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, stabbing at Zhu Houzhao like a dragon.
"Boom!"
The tip of the sword resisted Zhu Houzhao's chest, but it made a sound like metal colliding.
