Chapter 48: Incitement of the masses

At this time, a voice came from the front: "Long live the emperor, long live the queen!"

"Ah, the emperor and queen mother have arrived, Mr. Xiaohan, do you want to go with me to meet the driver?" Xue Gang invited.

"Okay, why not? Haha, I just wanted to meet them, maybe, they have orders!" Xiao Han said indifferently.

"Okay, Mr. Xiao Han, let's go!" Xue Gang pulled Xiao Han and hurried to meet the driver.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the queen, long live the queen!" As soon as Xue Gang saw them, he quickly knelt down.

"Foreign minister Xiao Han see the emperor and queen mother!" Xiao Han only bowed.

"Don't kneel down yet, Mr. Xiaohan, this is in our Datang, you should follow the rules of our Datang!" Xue Gang hurriedly said.

"Hey, the third lord, please stand up and speak! Mr. Xiao Han is our honored guest of the Tang Dynasty, he doesn't need to give our big gift; Mr. Xiao Han, I didn't expect you to come so early, how about it, do you have confidence today?" Wu Meiniang smiled again.

"Haha, I didn't expect today's scene to be so big, thank you to the emperor and queen, this time I can discuss the sword with Mr. Sword Saint, I am also very excited, my black snow has been jumping, it has come to mind!" Xiao Han said exaggeratedly.

But it's also a fact, since he saw the Sword Master again, Heixue has been beating, obviously, it's even more excited.

"Heixue, who?" Xue Gang asked puzzled.

"My sword, it's already eager to try, haha!" Xiao Han said.

"Let's go, Xiao Han, you follow me, the third lord, you follow the emperor!" Wu Meiniang had already pulled Xiao Han over.

"I must win the Sword Saint today, I have thought about it, Xiao Han, you must use swordsmanship to conquer the Central Plains Martial Arts and be the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance, and all this can only be done by defeating the Sword Saint, haha, come on, Xiao Han, I am optimistic about you!" Wu Meiniang said happily.

"Yes, thank you for the encouragement of the queen mother, Xiao Han will do his best to live up to his mother's expectations!" Xiao Han hurriedly spoke.

"Well, that's good, in short, it's good for you to remember, only after conquering the Central Plains martial arts, they will stop, otherwise, gather together all day long, listen to those scholars talk nonsense, make a miasma, it's not good; Or, mix in the princes' mansions to eat and drink, and sow discord, so that the emperors are in their own formations, which makes people angry, so you must conquer them, let them consciously and voluntarily obey your leadership, and the martial arts will be peaceful, and the world will be too peaceful!" she deliberately said two peaces.

Obviously, this is her real purpose! It turns out that this sword contest is so important, no wonder, she has changed her course, and the purpose is actually this!

"Yes, the queen mother, please rest assured, for the unity and safety of the royal family, Xiao Han is willing to do anything!" Xiao Han hurriedly nodded: This is not a bad thing after all, although he doesn't like the Tang Palace, but the princes fight, it is indeed too ugly, are there fewer tragedies in the past?

He was happy to see them quiet, at least, it was better than chaos, they were all brothers, why should they be? Sometimes he didn't know why there were so many brothers in Datang who were killing each other, why bother?

Wu Meiniang's words are like a rope, deeply tied to Xiao Han's heart, it seems that what she said always makes sense, and she can always easily touch Xiao Han's heart!

When they entered the school, the emperor and queen ascended the preset imperial seat, and after people visited, there was another commotion, and after a while, Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping came out, it seems that today's competition was presided over by them!

I saw Princess Taiping wave her hand first, and everyone quickly calmed down, and she said: "Today, it is a grand event of our Central Plains martial arts, and our Tang Dynasty's Mr. Sword Saint and the Turkic Keqing Mr. Xiaohan compete in the sword, both sides have been present;

Then, after she signaled, Shangguan Wan'er said: "We first invited Mr. Xiao Han, the Turkic guest master, to play, please, Mr. Xiao Han!"

At this time, Xiao Han hurriedly walked up, arched his hand, and said: "I came to Datang this time, mainly to learn from the swordsmen of Datang, today, I have the honor to ask the Sword Saint seniors for advice, Xiao Han is sincerely afraid, I only hope that Mr. Sword Saint will not hesitate to teach!"

"Okay, next, please Mr. Swordsman, the number one master of swordsmanship in our Central Plains, please, Mr. Swordsman, please!" Shangguan Wan'er said.

"Haha, I'm here, in fact, this sword contest is purely superfluous, because I have already discussed swords with Mr. Xiaohan in the morning, haha, I lost!" said the Sword Saint walked up.

"Ah!" Hearing this, everyone changed color, especially those martial arts people in the Central Plains, all of them were as earth-colored, and they were extremely sad and angry, like mourning!

"How is it possible? Sword Saint senior, how can you old man lose? You are our number one knight in the Central Plains, how can you lose?" said a martial arts person from the Central Plains.

"That's it, that's it, Sword Saint senior, if you want to elevate this kid, you don't need to admit defeat, he is a Turk, how can we not believe that our Central Plains swordsmanship is not as good as the Turks!" said another Central Plains martial arts person.

"But I did lose, because, as far as the kendo realm is concerned, I have already lost; if I lose, I will lose, and if I lose, I will admit defeat; however, in view of the prior agreement, I still have to compete with Mr. Xiao Han, we will do our best, and we will not disappoint everyone!"

It seems that winning or losing has long ceased to exist for him, and he has long looked down on those hypocritical things!

At this time, Princess Taiping's face became even more joyful, and she was very happy, so she said, "Since this is the case, it is better not to compare, how about it? Mr. Sword Saint! Brother Han!"

"No, Princess Taiping, it's better to compare, because this is an appointment in advance, don't worry, we will put it away freely, princess, please rest assured!" the sword master smiled slightly.

"Yes, Taiping, it's okay, just say it, Mr. Sword Saint has agreed to accept you as an apprentice, are you happy?" Xiao Han said softly.

"Ah, really, I can learn the sword technique?" Taiping said in surprise.

Juggernaut smiled slightly and nodded.

"Hey, Taiping, what are we going to do about apprenticeship at night? Let's compete with the sword first!" Xiao Han hurriedly stopped her from wanting to apprentice.

"Yes, Princess Taiping, I'll talk about it later, okay, let's start the sword competition, let's say noon, the time is just right, two, please, princess, let's go back to our seats!" After speaking, Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly took Princess Taiping's hand and left.

"Sword Saint senior, then, let's start!" Xiao Han finished speaking, and automatically walked five steps, ready to take the sword.

"Wait, wait, I'll say a few more words, today's sword competition, whoever wins, who is the best in the world, the Central Plains martial arts people have to obey his leadership, how?" Wu Meiniang finally interjected.

"Huh?" the Central Plains martial arts person let out another exclamation.

"No, this sword comparison is a matter for the two of them, why is it involved in the Central Plains martial arts again?

Just now, when people heard the words of the Sword Saint, their hearts were already half cold, and this time, they were even more cold: if the Sword Saint lost, then would they have to listen to the leadership of this Turkic man? Ridiculous, what is that like?

"No, we will never surrender to foreign swordsmen, please take back the queen's life!" someone else said.

"Hmph, what this palace said is the purpose, who dares to disobey? Whoever disagrees, you can challenge the winner, this palace is a little more magnanimous, within ten days, you can all challenge the winner, ten days later, no one wins, then, he will be the supreme martial arts, the leader of the martial arts!" Wu Meiniang said resolutely.

"Okay, just do as the queen said!" Finally, someone agreed.

"Yes, martial arts has always been based on martial arts, whoever has high martial arts is the supreme martial arts!"

"Okay, since that's the case, let's make up our minds, haha, come on, Mr. Xiaohan!" Wu Meiniang's eyes spoke again: Obviously, she already regarded him as the winner, and even, the supreme martial arts!

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Xiao Han hurriedly thanked him.

"This kid, is he so crazy? Does he really think that he can defeat the Sword Master? Or does he think that he is the supreme martial arts?"

"That's it, how old is this kid? at most twenty years old, even if the swordsmanship is exquisite, but the internal strength is definitely inferior, the sword master's sword qi was invincible thirty years ago, and now, I am afraid that it is even more unprecedented, this kid can block fifty moves, it is good!"

"Also, how much experience does the Sword Saint have in a hundred battles? How much actual combat experience does this kid have? Hmph, be ruthless, be ruthless, and abolish this son!" someone said even more viciously.

It seems that people are all wishing that the Sword Master would defeat Xiao Han, and even wish that the Sword Master would kill Xiao Han under the sword!

"Hmph, is this the bearing of your Central Plains martial arts? How can you be as shameless as a little rascal? Could it be that at the feet of the dignified Tang Emperor, there are all some scoundrels in the market? The Sword Saint and my master are competing with the sword, what does it matter to you? If you want to come out and speak, do you think you are more clever than the Sword Saint? It's really ridiculous, shameful, pathetic, lamentable!" Princess Yunluo couldn't listen anymore, stood up and said angrily.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked and wanted to refute it, but they couldn't speak, and all the language couldn't be put on the table: the little girl was reasonable, how to refute it?

"That is, please respect yourself for all the Central Plains martial arts people, haha, we are the Tang Empire, and the Tang Empire should have the demeanor and majesty of the Tang Empire;

"Ah!" when everyone heard this, they quickly shut up, not daring to say anything more.

Everyone knows that Princess Taiping is the heart and soul of the emperor and queen, and she has always said the same, her words, sometimes, are the holy decree: who dares to disobey?

Seeing that the people were quiet, the Sword Saint said: "Alas, there are such narrow-minded people in the Central Plains Martial Arts, which makes Mr. Xiao Han smile, and I would like to apologize to Mr. on behalf of the Central Plains Martial Arts!" After speaking, he bowed.

Xiao Han hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Seniors don't have to be polite, this kind of person is not worthy of talking about the spirit of martial arts at all, let's not pay attention to it, haha!"

"Okay, Lord Xiao Han is really worthy of the demeanor of my first Turkic swordsman, Lord Xiao Han, come on!" Prince Mo took the opportunity to build momentum for him.

Since he entered the competition, he has not tasted, and the abuse of some people in the Central Plains Martial Arts has long made him unhappy, at this time, why not take the opportunity to crack down?
