Chapter 62: The melee begins

"What? The prince is coming? ”

The people followed the prestige. At the entrance, in addition to the old man in gorgeous clothes, there was also a mighty team of people and horses, who were coming to the competition field under the leadership of the old man.

In the center of the procession is a sedan chair decorated with dragon patterns. It was not an ordinary old man, but a eunuch, and the clothes on his body were at least at the level of a chief.

Strangely, most of the maids who followed the sedan chair were hot and good-looking. There were only two guards, both heavily armored and wearing iron masks on their faces.

The dragon-patterned sedan chair stopped in front of the competition platform, and immediately a young man dressed in rich clothes but with a lazy face came down.

Prince of Chibei!

"What are you doing in a daze? He did not bow to the prince yet. ”

The old eunuch saw that everyone around him was stunned and did not react, and hurriedly reminded him.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

After all, he is the prince of a country. Whether it is Chibei or the monks of the other three countries, they still bow in a proper manner. Several people on the high platform were no exception.

"Excuse me, excuse me."

Prince Chibei waved his hand nonchalantly.

Yao Qianshan hurriedly got off the high platform and came to greet him: "I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and I have missed the distance." I hope forgive my sins! ”

"Harm! I don't blame you guys. ”

The prince of Chibei has no arrogance, and his gestures are very casual: "I'm just a little annoyed in the palace." I heard that in recent days, the most lively thing is the Cloud Sword Sect that is going to hold the Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Exercise, so I came over to take a look. ”

"Well, didn't bother you, did you?"

Yao Qianshan hurriedly wiped the sweat on his head: "The prince has arrived, and the contemptible sect is shining, which is even more fortunate for us, why bother?" ”

The old eunuch next to him snorted coldly: "Then, where does your sect plan to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sit?" Offstage? ”

Yao Qianshan was startled again, and quickly turned his head sideways, looking at Liu Wushuang on the high platform with a pleading gaze.

Fortunately, Liu Wushuang did not hesitate, and Chong Yao Qianshan nodded.

Yao Qianshan breathed a sigh of relief.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is honorable, naturally in the best position. Please come with me. ”

Yao Qianshan brought the prince to the high platform. Liu Wushuang had already consciously given up the middle position.

"Yo? Commander Tang is also there? ”

Seeing Tang Chuan, the prince seemed a little surprised. Tang Chuan hurriedly saluted again.

"The old minister has seen the prince."

"It's just right that you're here, and when my father asked, you said that we came to the civil inspection together, so that he didn't keep saying that I didn't do business."

Tang Chuan laughed dryly, not knowing how to answer this.

"Your Highness, your place is here."

Following the guidance of Yao Qianshan, the prince saw the Taishi chair in the center of the high platform, but his face showed disgust.

"This stool is uncomfortable to look at."

Immediately, the prince clapped his hands. The two maids came directly and moved the chair down.

Then, a recliner was brought back.

"It's still comfortableβ€”"

The prince sat down and stretched on the chaise longue.

Next to him, Liu Wushuang, Lu Dingjiang, and Tang Chuan, looking at the prince's comfortable appearance, were all speechless, but the princess of Western Xinjiang, Aiinu, did not react.

As for Inkan......

The corners of his mouth twitched, his shoulders were shaking, and he was almost unable to hold back his laughter.

Empress Chibei died at an early age, and the crown prince was the eldest son of the queen, so it was logical to inherit the throne.

It's just that his situation is not very good. The old lord favored the concubine Mi, and it has always been rumored that the old lord abolished him and renamed the son of the concubine as the prince.

Under such rumors, the prince himself who is in a bad situation is not angry, and prefers to have fun. Whenever there is a rumor of him in the people, it is which Qinglou or which music shop he went to, and he spent a lot of money.

But that's not the prince's biggest problem. His biggest problem is not that he has done anything bad, but that he ......

Do nothing!

After so many years on the crown prince's throne, his political achievements are still blank, and he is like a transparent person in the court.

As if sensing something, the prince, who was slumped on the chaise longue, glanced at the people around him.

"Why are you still standing? All sit, all sit. ”

Liu Wushuang and the others had to sit down.

The old eunuchs and maids still served around the prince. A few maids rubbed the prince's shoulders and legs, and brought a small table with a lot of snacks and fruits.

The two ironclad guards also stood behind the recliners, one left and one right, as if they were in a state of flux.

The Guards led by Tang Chuan was the most powerful army in the Chibei Dynasty. But it was not them who were in charge of the personal protection of the lord and the prince, but the "dragon guard" to which these ironclad guards belonged. In order to prevent them from being bribed and endangering the safety of the crown prince and the lord of the country, Long Wei was all dressed like this, and his identities were all kept secret.

After the two dragon guards came up, Liu Wushuang's attention was attracted by them.

The first thing that caught her attention was the monks and nuns that Tang Chuan had brought. From the aura they emanated, Liu Wushuang was sure that the cultivation of these two people was definitely not below him.

But these two dragon guards, Liu Wushuang couldn't judge what their cultivation was at all. Because I can't feel their breath at all, it's like ......

Two dead people?!

The old eunuch glanced at the silent crowd on the high platform: "What are you doing stupidly?" Isn't there another competition? Let's get them started! Don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wait. ”

On the prince's side, he just opened his mouth to take the peeled grapes handed by the maid, and nodded busily when he heard the words.

"Yes, yes, let's get started. My favorite thing to watch is fighting...... It's a competition, let them start. ”

Naturally, everyone in the audience below could also see the prince's behavior, and they were all speechless, and some of the Chibei monks couldn't help but hold their foreheads.

Liu Wushuang also glanced at the prince, and the contempt in his eyes was almost overflowing. But he still turned his head and commanded Yao Qianshan.

"Elder Yao, let them start drawing lots."

Under the organization of the Cloud Sword Sect, the various sects began to draw lots. Originally, it was all a one-on-one knockout match, but because there were too many sects participating in the Four Kingdoms martial arts exercise this time, the Cloud Sword Sect could only temporarily change the rules. First, there will be a melee of ten people, two people will be decided in each game, and then the winners of these melee matches will compete one-on-one, and the winners will advance and the losers will be eliminated.

At the end of the first round of the first four days, eight people will be decided. In the second round of the next two days, the sect to which these eight people belonged sent an elder or sect master-level figure to conduct a one-on-one competition again to compete for the last person.

The results of the draw for the melee came out quickly. The old eunuch took the place of Yao Qianshan, stood at the edge of the high platform with a blank face, and began to announce the contestants of the first game in a sharp voice.

"The first contest is as follows, and the upper competition platform that reads the name prepares-"

"Xibo Country Hundred Flowers Palace, Yun Feiyu!"

"Earthquake Gate, Ye Qing!"

"Xuanyang Gate of Gyeongnam, Zongyou!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Without his own name in the first round, Su Xiao couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

For him, participating in the martial arts of these four countries is not in the plan, so it is best to hurry up and end his turn early and end his good morning life. Now I don't have my own name, so I have to wait.

On the competition platform, young monks from the ten sects of the four countries were ready. With the old eunuch's order, the battle was instantaneous.

For a while, the swords and swords flew one after another, and the sound of weapons clashing was endless!

"Good! Good! ”

When the prince saw that the fight had finally begun, he clapped his hands with excitement. Liu Wushuang and Lu Dingjiang, who were sitting closest to him, couldn't help but glance at them again, their eyes full of disgust.

Sighing and not returning, he stared at the situation on the competition platform, and after a while, he lowered his voice and said to Su Xiao behind him.

"With two guns, do you see that?"

When Su Xiao heard this, he saw a man on the stage, holding a spear in each hand, and he shot ruthlessly, almost one move.

"See, man...... It seems to be from the Xuanyang Gate of Gyeongnam? ”

"Yes, Zongyou of Xuanyang Gate. He is also the most bewitching genius in Gyeongnam in recent years. ”

sighed and looked solemn: "He is the grandson of the previous head of Xuanyang Sect." The last time the Four Kingdoms performed martial arts, the head of Xuanyang Gate lost a move and lost to Liu Shan. ”

"Speaking of which, that time was also not authentic. He feigned injury and then suddenly attacked, causing the other party to be seriously injured, and Shikoku died not long after the martial arts. ”

"When Zong You came to power just now, he specially glanced over here twice, I guess he has a grudge against the Cloud Sword Sect."

"If you're up to him, be careful!"

sighed and spoke, and the melee on the stage had come to an end.

After a while, only one man and one woman remained, and the others either fell to the ground and could not move, or had already fallen off the ringing platform.

The old eunuch looked at the two of them and spoke aloud.

"The winner of the first gameβ€”"

"Xibo Country Hundred Flowers Palace, Yun Feiyu!"

"Xuanyang Gate of Gyeongnam, Zongyou!"

On the stage, Zongyou was still holding two guns, and the heads of both guns were dripping blood.

He didn't have the slightest joy on his face after victory, and he didn't look at the winner who was in the same field as him, he turned his head to stare at the high platform, and first glanced at Liu Wushuang, the sect leader of the Cloud Sword Sect.

Then, his gaze swept over everyone in the Cloud Sword Sect present.

Those eyes were full of cruelty!
