The moon sets and the sun rises, it's a new day.
The sun has not yet appeared and it has just dawned. Hundreds of eunuchs and maids have been busy for a long time in the Fengtai Square in front of the Qinzheng Hall in the palace.
An arena measuring more than twenty feet square was quickly set up. And it is surrounded by a three-sided viewing platform. By the time the sun came out, the viewing platform had been set up, and it looked like it could accommodate a full three hundred people.
Today is a scene of "enhancing mutual intimacy" between Nanyuan Kingdom and Huayue Shang Kingdom. In the morning meeting, Yang Sheng, as the emperor, would receive the envoys from Huayue Shangguo, as well as the accompanying ceremonial officials and wedding envoys at the Qinzheng Hall. At noon, we will have dinner in the side hall and have a good time drinking and talking.
The timing is the most important part of the spectacle: the fight.
The two sides fighting are Princess Qingling of Nanyuan Kingdom and Princess Baowen of Huayue. The loser will be the victim of an episode in this political arena. Even the people who came to watch the ceremony, including both parties, were actually not watching the two princesses themselves, but the victory or defeat between the two countries.
The accumulation of wins and losses here has made the Nanyuan Kingdom's royal family feel bad. His prestige was being eroded little by little. But if you want to resist, the price will be high, and if you really want to break up, you may end up in catastrophe. Now it's just a matter of bearing the humiliation and bearing the burden, and it depends on whether we can wait for a turn of events.
The three seats on the viewing platform were quickly filled as soon as Shen Shi arrived. The expressions on the faces of the people sitting down can be described as different. Some are angry, some have nothing to do with themselves and have a calm expression, and some have a relaxed expression with a smile. These are all people from Nanyuan Kingdom.
As for those people from Huayue, it is even more interesting. They talk and laugh loudly, and even businessmen can be described as "arrogant" on such occasions. And facing the people from Nanyuan Kingdom who were also watching the ceremony, they all chose to ignore it, regardless of whether they were smiling or not. The attitude has clearly shown that the word "Shangguo" in Huayue Shangguo has a lot of weight.
The positions of the three-sided viewing platform are "left, right and lower", and the upper position belongs to Emperor Yang Sheng of the Nanyuan Kingdom. Just two chairs were placed. The one on top belongs to Yang Sheng. A handful was given to Huayue's envoy, about a foot below Yang Sheng's position.
Wait until the etiquette officer of Nanyuan Kingdom announces the rules of the competition. Princess Qingling, who put on a warrior robe and raised her long hair, took the stage first.
Although he has been hanging around the ring since he was a child and has fought nearly a thousand times, big and small, it is different from today's one. Even the previous arenas were preparations for today. Princess Qingling took a deep breath to calm down the unavoidable tension in her heart. But it couldn't calm down the flames in her body that seemed to be burning more and more! Even her eyes began to glow slightly with red light.
Just now, before Princess Qingling came on stage, she burned a piece of paper in a corner that no one noticed, and drank the ashes left after burning the piece of paper into a small bowl of liquor.
Although she doesn't drink often, Princess Qingling has a good drinking capacity. This small bowl of strong liquor will not affect her competition. But after entering her throat, the heat that rose up in her body and lasted for a long time made her feel ecstatic: Teacher Zhang didn't lie to me! That piece of paper is indeed extraordinary!
This feeling is like a spark being suddenly thrown into a pile of dry firewood. It will not burst into flames, but it will slowly heat up until it becomes extremely fierce!
strength! Princess Qingling has never felt such a powerful state before. Every ounce of muscle, every ounce of blood and bone is looking forward to the most violent release.
Princess Qingling didn't know that Zhang Yan's piece of paper actually had a very powerful name: Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman.
This thing can be used for two purposes, or it can be attached to the body to increase physical strength. Or burn it and swallow it with wine like Princess Qingling. The latter will have longer lasting and better results. On the contrary, the consequences of swallowing the Yellow Turban Lux Talisman are not small. After the effect of the talisman ends, the person will quickly fall into a weak state and lose most of his physical mobility.
So this Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman is not a very good talisman. At least Zhang Yan used it for the first time after learning it.
After standing on the ring and waiting for a moment, Princess Baowen of Huayue Kingdom also stepped onto the ring.
She was a tall girl with a stern face and a bit of coquettishness. She seemed to be about a year older than Princess Qingling and a little taller. After taking the stage, my eyes fell firmly on Princess Qingling. There is absolutely no sign of underestimating the enemy because of his higher cultivation level.
There are two referees in the ring. The dean and judge of the Yuanding Imperial City Martial Arts Academy are personally responsible for this. His status is sufficient, and his cultivation is fully sufficient to deal with all dangerous accidents that may occur in the arena. For example, a situation where the hand of life and death cannot be restrained, such as a situation where it is about to be disabled or disfigured. There are even more rules in this arena than in the arena outside.
Perhaps, in the eyes of some people, this is not a competition at all.
The two referees glanced at Emperor Yang Sheng, who was sitting on the high platform in the middle. The latter nodded and had no intention of saying anything. So the two referees bowed and then took their respective positions.
"The competition begins!"
As soon as the first two words were spoken, the two people on the ring started to move. Like two flying birds flying by rapidly, their movements are light and agile, and even at such a fast speed, they can barely hear the footsteps.
Both of them are very conventional female warriors. The difference is that Princess Qingling holds a short sword as long as a ruler, while Princess Baowen opposite her holds two seven-inch daggers.
Naturally, the agile and light weapon cannot be equipped with a long-handled or heavy-duty weapon. Short soldiers are definitely the first choice. But choose a dagger, or two daggers. This is the most flexible and dangerous way. There is a saying that it is called "flying blade".
A dagger versus a pair of flying blades must be a close-quarters killing routine. Counting combat skills, it is even more dangerous.
Of course, both of them are princesses, so they can't really fight for it. And the distance is too close, sometimes it is not something that two referees can stop. Therefore, the weapons in their hands are also limited. There was no open front, but two kinds of dyes were applied. There can also be a distinction if the cut is successful.
In less than ten breaths, the difference in the arena was obvious. They are all smart ways, and speed is naturally the first key. Princess Baowen's speed is two points faster than Princess Qingling.
In a real fight, life or death can be determined in one minute. In fact, this can also be used to determine victory or defeat in the arena.
Sooner or later, a dagger suddenly stabbed out from a tricky angle like a snake's kiss towards Princess Qingling's left rib. The speed and timing were perfectly timed. It was Princess Qingling who moved forward. When the feet are floating and there is no room to change direction and dodge.
But at this critical moment, Princess Qingling's figure suddenly flashed, and a new force emerged from her feet, which caused her forward speed to nearly double, and she was able to avoid it with her speed by just a hair. That vicious stab.
"Huh? Princess Qingling just used the "Sudden Step", right? Isn't that a combat skill in the late Kaiyuan realm?"
"Hiss! It looks similar to me too, but isn't Princess Qingling in the middle stage of Kaiyuan Realm?"
