Chapter 18: Pretending to shirk
Gao Sheng pretended to shirk, but did not refuse the other party's proposal.
"Your Majesty, I think this is a very interesting thing, so you might as well try it or two. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, as long as you can show Da Chu's strength. ”
At this moment, another minister came out and echoed Gao Sheng's words.
Immediately afterwards, several other ministers came out in support.
Seeing this, King Jin was not to be outdone: "Father, is it that the child thinks that this kind of occasion still needs to be lively, so as to enhance the friendship between countries." ”
"Well, I think so, too." Gao Sheng nodded slightly.
Seeing Gao Sheng agree, those ministers immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
King Jin was also secretly happy, you must know that he had made sufficient preparations for tonight's banquet.
In order to take advantage of this incident to hit the prince's WeChat and make him lose face!
As for Xiao Xian, he didn't pay attention to it at all, because the identity gap between the two was too big.
As long as Gao Zongxian can be successfully defeated, then Xiao Xian's life and death are not a matter of words.
At this time, Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes, from the strange behavior of King Jin just now.
Coupled with his eye contact bell with the South Vietnamese envoys, Xiao Xian vaguely guessed his purpose.
However, this also just confirmed the speculation in his heart, these envoys do have ulterior motives, but they are afraid that they have long been bought or controlled by King Jin.
It's just that the soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is coming to cover it, Xiao Xian is not afraid of these things.
At this time, King Jin didn't know that he had been remembered by someone, and he was still triumphantly fantasizing about how to teach the prince a hard lesson and let him know who the true dragon heir was.
So Gao Sheng immediately decided to let everyone in the banquet hall move to the martial arts arena for the envoys of all countries to watch the battle.
Under the guidance of the guards, King Jin and his party came to the martial arts arena.
Xiao Xian looked around and found that there were many tables and chairs placed around the martial arts arena, and there were also many palace maids and eunuchs carrying tables, chairs and benches.
But at this time, those tables, chairs and benches were covered with soft blankets.
In the center of the arena is a huge ring, the top of which is inlaid with various gems.
Around the ring were a number of wooden round seats, on which were distributed the envoys of various countries.
In addition, there are special seats in the easternmost position, where members of the royal family such as Gao Sheng and Gao Zongxian are arranged.
Then the envoys of the South Vietnamese state, as well as the envoys of other countries, took the seats.
Xiao Xian found a remote corner and sat down.
In the martial arts arena, King Jin looked eager to try, as if he couldn't wait to perform on stage.
Xiao Xian sat calmly, he knew that today's things would definitely not be so simple.
Sure enough, soon someone came out to provoke.
"Warriors of Great Chu, do you dare to fight with me?" The envoy of the Baiyue Kingdom provoked all the Great Chu warriors present.
Gao Sheng looked at the envoy and said lightly: "Have you Baiyue Kingdom forgotten something?" ”
The envoy was stunned and said suspiciously, "Where have we forgotten something?" ”
"Since you haven't forgotten, then you should abide by the rules and compete according to the rules of my Da Chu, now that you Baiyue Kingdom broke the rules, should you pay the price?" Gao Sheng said lightly.
"This." The envoy was speechless, not knowing what to say.
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood, my Baiyue country is a country of etiquette, how can you do something that violates the rules?" The envoy eagerly argued.
"Oh?" Gao Sheng frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, a small country and a widow naturally dare not compete with a big country like Great Chu." The envoy continued.
"It's just that I heard that His Majesty was brave and unparalleled back then, and His Royal Highness the Prince was also brave and good at fighting, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Prince is willing to guide one or two, let us open our eyes?"
As soon as the envoy said this, all the civil and military officials present were in an uproar.
They were wise men, and they knew very well what the envoy meant.
This is a despicable approach.
"How does this work?"
"Yes, my Da Chu has always been particular about gentlemen talking and not moving."
"This."
A group of civil and military ministers chattered.
"Ladies and gentlemen," at this moment, Gao Sheng spoke, "I also think that what Baiyue Guo said is reasonable, I don't know which prince is willing to fight?" ”
Hearing this, the originally noisy minister of civil and military affairs was suddenly silenced, and his eyes were all focused on several princes, hoping that they would be able to stand up.
Gao Zongxian's face kept changing, and finally gritted his teeth and got up and stepped forward.
Seeing Gao Zongxian step forward, the corners of the envoy's mouth showed a smile of successful conspiracy, and then stepped aside and quietly watched his performance.
"Father." Gao Zongxian first saluted Gao Sheng with a fist, and then said: "As the prince of Great Chu, it is naturally incumbent on the minister. ”
"Very good," Gao Sheng looked at Gao Zongxian with satisfaction, and said, "Da Chu is really lucky to have such a young talent. ”
"Father, I am also willing to fight." At this moment, King Jin suddenly stood up.
"Huh?" The expression on Gao Sheng's face changed slightly for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, since King Jin intends to participate, then I will be approved." ”
"Thank you, Father." King Jin hurriedly bowed, and then walked to the middle of the martial arts arena.
Gao Zongxian and King Jin glanced at each other, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, and then beckoned to the side.
The envoys of the Baiyue Kingdom glanced at each other when they saw this, and the plan was developing in a direction that was beneficial to them, and they couldn't help but be full of anticipation.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, what kind of identity do you have, why don't you let me understand the strength of the warriors of the Baiyue Kingdom first!"
This was exactly what King Jin had planned before, and now he jumped out of the way, and then went straight to the point and put forward an invitation to the competition.
Gao Zongxian frowned, he didn't expect King Jin to steal his limelight.
"I want to see what the warriors of your Baiyue Kingdom are capable of." King Jin sneered unceremoniously.
According to the plan, the envoys of those Baiyue countries sent several warriors who were burly but not very strong in martial arts.
These warriors walked to the martial arts arena, bowed to Gao Zongxian, and said, "Your Highness, please advise!" ”
King Jin nodded, then drew his sword and rushed over, brandishing his long sword and stabbing at the Baiyue envoys, without the slightest intention of sparing.
Although the Baiyue envoys were all elite, they were still defeated and retreated under the fierce offensive of the King of Jin.
In just a moment's effort, those warriors of the Baiyue Kingdom were killed by the King of Jin and crushed.
Gao Zongxian watched King Jin exert his might, and his heart was jealous and angry.
You must know that although he is not familiar with political affairs, he is still a good hand at fighting, but this time he was robbed of the limelight by King Jin, which made him feel very embarrassed.
"Bang." With a muffled sound, King Jin kicked away a warrior of the Baiyue Kingdom.
