Chapter 284: An Unexpected Visitor
Zhang Xiaochi's expression was calm, one hand grabbed the blade, and the other hand took the time to scratch the back of the knife, and the light and breezy appearance made people suspect that he was not here to compete.
"Arrogance!"
Seeing that Zhang Xiaochi was so light on the enemy, Mrs. Lin's anxious cold sweat flowed out.
"Your Majesty, this Xiaochi is too arrogant, today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and now it is a performance to entertain the Emperor and the Queen Mother, but he is so perfunctory, he simply ignores the Emperor and the Queen Mother!"
Gao Yu was also angry, so he made a move in the rear, wanting to take the opportunity to let the emperor treat him for a crime of disrespect.
"That's it, this Zhang Xiaochi is too unserious, and he doesn't take the emperor and the queen mother in his eyes at all!"
Mrs. Lin was still in a hurry, but Gao Yu's words woke him up, so he hurriedly followed Gao Yu's meaning.
The emperor's face remained unchanged, and he glanced at the indignant Gao Yu and Mrs. Lin, and then said slowly.
"I don't think Zhang Aiqing meant to be perfunctory."
"Today is the birthday of the Queen of Heaven, and the competition is to enliven the atmosphere for the Queen Mother, not to really fight to the death, or just to divide the winner in a dull way!"
"Gao Aiqing, Mrs. Lin, what do you think?"
"The emperor is right, it's the ministers who are short-sighted."
Seeing that the emperor took the initiative to speak for Zhang Xiaochi, Gao Yu didn't dare to say anything more, and quickly admitted his mistake.
Gao Yu was like this, and Mrs. Lin was even more unbearable, and directly knelt on the ground and begged the emperor to forgive him for his misjudgment.
"Get up."
The emperor waved his hand casually, and looked at the martial arts arena intently, as if all his attention was attracted by Zhang Xiaochi's side.
Mrs. Lin glanced at Gao Yu and saw that the latter's face was natural, so he had to adjust his mentality and refocus his attention on the martial arts arena.
At this time, the military general was still struggling, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but the big knife was still not moving in Zhang Xiaochi's hand.
"Since you can't move, let's go down."
Zhang Xiaochi grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth, at this moment he was like a sunny boy next door, and his smile was very bright.
When the words fell, a big knife suddenly appeared in the sky above the martial arts arena, and before the knife fell, the military general was thrown out of the martial arts arena area by Zhang Xiaochi's backhand.
Bang dang!
At the same time, the broadsword also fell on the hard ground, bringing up a large cloud of dust.
Looking at the generals who fell outside the martial arts arena area, Zhang Xiaochi smiled slightly, today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, although this game is agreed by the emperor, but we must also worry about today's day, once the blood is seen, according to people's thinking, it is unlucky.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaochi naturally would not do this kind of thing that was not conducive to himself, so he temporarily decided to throw the generals out, so that the skills could divide the winners and losers, and also avoid bloodshed.
"In this game, Zhang Aiqing won."
The emperor announced the results of the game as soon as possible, and then he looked at Gao Yu and asked.
"Gao Aiqing, now it's your turn to send a representative."
"Of course, you can also not send a representative, but in this way, Zhang Aiqing will directly win."
"Back to the emperor, Gao Song is willing to learn Master Zhang's skills!"
Behind Gao Yu, a man of medium stature, with a thin face, spoke like an eagle falcon and said.
"Okay."
The emperor nodded slightly.
Gao Song got the answer and thanked the emperor again, and then got up and came to the martial arts arena.
Looking at Zhang Xiaochi on the other side, Gao Song's eagle-like eyes shot out a sharp look, and even Zhang Xiaochi couldn't help but shudder after feeling this look.
Master, definitely master.
Zhang Xiaochi whispered to himself, just at that glance just now, without a hundred and ten lives in his hands, he couldn't condense it at all.
"Master Zhang, if you're scared, you can admit defeat now."
Gao Song's eyes were sharp, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and an imperceptible sneer flashed on his face.
He naturally discovered Zhang Xiaochi's reaction just now.
Every time he faced the enemy, as long as Gao Song released a sharp look, no matter who it was, he would definitely be inferior in aura first.
Once you get the first blow, then the rest of the battle will be much easier.
"I think we can have a discussion to help the Queen Mother!"
Zhang Xiaochi replied calmly.
As soon as these words came out, a look of anger suddenly crossed Gao Song's face.
"Don't compare others with me, they don't deserve it!"
"Whether you are worthy or not, it has nothing to do with me, but you are crazier than me, I can't bear it."
Zhang Xiaochi grinned, this time, he took the initiative to attack.
However, when he came to Gao Song and was about to make a move, the commander of the forbidden army rushed in and knelt in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, there is a messenger from the Kingdom of Jin to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday."
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Xiaochi subconsciously stopped and looked at the emperor.
You must know that the relationship between Da Viet and Jin is very delicate, and the two sides have had two major wars before this.
But now, Jin Guo actually sent an envoy to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, what kind of situation is this?
At this time, not only did Zhang Xiaochi have no idea of doing it, but even Gao Song hurried back to Gao Yu's side.
"How many people came?"
The Queen Mother asked.
"Empress Dowager Qi, a group of ten envoys from the Jin Kingdom, accompanied by five carts of gifts."
The commander of the forbidden army replied.
"Your Majesty, the Jin Kingdom suddenly sent an envoy to visit, I'm afraid that the person who came is not good."
Gao Yu said in a deep voice.
"Today is the day of the Queen Mother's great joy, those who come are guests, let them in."
The emperor hesitated slightly, and then ordered the commander of the forbidden army to open the door to welcome the guests.
When a foreign envoy came, the contest was naturally temporarily canceled, and everyone returned to the court and waited for the envoy of the Jin Kingdom to come to the court.
"Xiaochi, there is no comparison, how can you calculate this matter?"
Zhao Qiankun said in a low voice.
"It's a big deal to compare again, big brother, you have to have faith in me."
Zhang Xiaochi replied calmly.
"You kid."
Zhao Qiankun couldn't cry or laugh, and was about to speak, Zhang Xiaochi's face suddenly became solemn, he turned his head to look at the gate of Qianqing Palace along his gaze, and accompanied by the sharp voice of the eunuch, a group of envoys from the Jin Kingdom appeared in sight.
"It's him!"
When he saw the leader of the envoys of the Jin Kingdom, Zhang smiled for a moment, and the expression on his face suddenly became wonderful.
"Big brother, the person who came is actually our old acquaintance."
"Yes, I didn't expect this old boy to be so bold that he would dare to come to the capital to face the saint!"
Zhao Qiankun stared at the direction of the envoy group of the Jin State, and his attention was focused on the man who was walking in the front, this person was none other than Hamza, who had brought disaster to the people of the Great Yue Kingdom.
This old guy is blessed with a great life, he was so seriously injured at the beginning, but he actually let him survive, not only that, but after this old guy launched two wars, he actually dared to come to the capital to face the saint, I have to say that he has a lot of courage.
"Hamza and his colleagues meet the Emperor of Dayue."
Hamza took the envoy group and saluted the emperor unhurriedly.
