The eldest prince looked at his father who had walked off the stage and was talking to all the forces, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, because he knew in his heart that his father was not greedy for imperial power, but was fulfilling his final responsibility.
He is about to be forced to abdicate without resentment or frustration. Instead, he is trying to build everyone's confidence. This is a kind of great love, a responsibility, and his sacred mission.
At this moment, he seemed to understand a lot, and his state of mind also changed invisibly. He nodded slightly to Yun'er, walked down the ring with a smile, and walked towards the flustered forces.
The Fourteenth Prince stood beside Shan Siyan, watching all this coldly, feeling very proud. Things were just as he expected. The Fourth Prince had no hope of winning at all.
As long as there is such an attack jade talisman, we can definitely win the martial arts competition. Eager to know the answer, he couldn't help but ask: "Such this You should still have the attacking jade token, right?"

"You don't need to know this." Shan Siyan was still recovering and didn't want to discuss this with the Fourteenth Prince.
Seeing this scene, the Fourteenth Prince approached Shan Siyan and whispered: "As long as you can get the throne, I will devote all the efforts of the whole country to build it for you, and you don't have to be stingy."
"Ah!"
Shan Siyan sneered and didn't bother to pay attention at all, focusing on recovering by herself.
Yun'er winked at Yu Hu, and the two of them got off the ring together, came to a remote place, waved their hands and threw out a formation disk, isolating the two of them inside.
"The other party has that attack jade talisman, so we can't fight head-on. We can only delay as much time as possible. I hope Brother Yanliang can get back in time."
She raised her hand and held the cyan feather coat in her palm and brought it to Yu Hu, "I will lend you this cyan feather coat. I hope it can keep you safe."
Yu Hu's heart warmed, and there was a flash of light in his eyes, but he knew that this feather coat was like a woman's underwear, and he would not lend his own feather coat to others easily.
He took a deep breath, shook his head, and said: "Mother, I must not do this. Even if I die, I cannot tarnish this feather coat. The master has left me a set of shooting star boots. If I dodge with all my heart, , it’s also hard for her to lock onto me.”
No matter what Yun'er said, Yu Hu refused to accept the cyan feather coat. She had no choice but to put away the cyan feather coat, and then took out a jet black shield and a long sword.
The shield was oval in shape, about one foot in diameter, and had a rough surface. It was obvious that it had not been forged yet.
This long sword glows with green light, has complex runes on the surface, and has a trace of aura. It is a peerless sword, which was forged by Yan Liang in the weapon refining tower.
"This shield is made of extraterrestrial iron. It's just a rough shape at the moment. It can't be refined or changed in size. But it's absolutely solid. I thought it wouldn't be used. But now it seems like it might be able to save your life in a critical moment. Just make do with it. Use it."
"This sharp sword was refined by Brother Yanliang during the Weapon Refiner Conference. It represents his highest level at that time. It is a fifth-level spiritual weapon. Please take it and refine it quickly to be prepared."
Yu Hu knew the importance of this mission, so he didn't have too much restraint. He put away his shield and started refining his sword. He will definitely return important equipment promptly afterward.
...
"I announce that this round, between Yu Hu and Shan Siyan, the competition begins."
After the emperor's announcement, Yu Hu looked at Shan Siyan coldly. Although he was extremely angry, he could only restrain himself at the moment. Everything had to go according to plan - that is, he would try his best to delay time.
I saw him slowly salute to the other party, then clasped his fists and said: "My... surname is Yu, single name... a tiger character, this Yu is..."
Just when Yu Hu started to show off his chatterbox, at the easternmost border battlefield of the Wen Dynasty, a general in his twenties and sixties, wearing golden armor, was fighting hard with the enemy generals.
Two first-level masters with golden bodies guarded his left and right sides, helping him share most of the pressure.
In this battle, the enemy's number of soldiers and horses was more than twice theirs. The two sides had been fighting for three days and three nights. The battlefield was already littered with corpses, and the ground was soaked with blood.
The fourth prince was filled with grief when he saw one of his subordinates fall, but this battle determined the direction of the entire war, and he had to persevere to the end.
He showed no fear in the face of several times the number of enemies. He killed several enemy generals and was besieged many times. As a result, he was already scarred, but he still persevered.
He knew that he could not leave, let alone fall. The reason why the soldiers persisted until now was because he set an example for them and inspired the courage and bloody spirit in them.
More importantly, it allowed them to retain a glimmer of hope, just because he was the fourth prince, representing the emperor and the entire royal family. As long as he was here, it meant that the Wen Dynasty would not forget them.
If he, as a prince, can be so brave, the soldiers will never lose to him and will definitely become more brave. It is also the more brave they fight that builds up their own morale, otherwise they will never be able to hold on now.
Fortunately, there were two disciples of the Sanhuang Sect beside him at this moment, helping him share a lot of pressure. The two of them worked non-stop all the way and finally arrived here early this morning.
"Fourth Prince, we are here to help resist. You should return to the imperial capital quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late."
They were ordered by Yu Jian to bring the four princes back to the imperial capital to participate in a competition to determine the throne. However, the battle was dangerous and although the two joined the battle, they could only relieve their difficulties temporarily.
Facing an army of hundreds of thousands, the two men's combat power can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket and cannot influence the battle situation at all. Moreover, there are tens of thousands of troops being repaired behind the enemy's rear. This will be a long-term war of attrition.
The fourth prince also knew in his heart that even if he returned now, he would not be able to catch up with the time, and even if he could catch up with him, it would not be of much use.
At present, the fighting is intense at all the border areas, and there is no way to send troops to help. Now we can only rely on ourselves to improve our morale to hold on.
Besides, how could he be willing to abandon the soldiers and leave alone? He took a deep breath and said gratefully: "I appreciate the friendship between the two of you, but if I don't, my morale will collapse. This battle is directly related to the people here." Victory or defeat, I will stick to the end with the soldiers, you should go back and resume your life quickly."
These two disciples of the Sanhuang Sect were only ordered to convey the message and try to bring back the fourth prince. Now that the fourth prince insisted on not leaving, the two had no choice but to go back and recover as soon as possible.
"We will report the truth about the war here, request the sect to send people to support us, and ask the fourth prince to hold on."
Hearing this, the fourth prince's face lit up with joy, he hugged the two of them and said, "Okay! I'll bother you two then."
Watching the two people leave, he turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, we will have support soon, hold on!"
