After everyone thanked them and sat down, Emperor Liang ordered his maids to fill each table with fine wine, and after giving him three glasses of wine, he said: "There are many heroes gathered at this event, and there are many masters. You can win in the end, so you are all young heroes."

I am giving you a banquet today as a token of appreciation. Only true heroes are drunkards, so you can have another drink."

The ten candidates hurriedly raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Emperor Liang then turned to the envoys of the two countries at the guest table and said: "Da Yu and Bei Yan are worthy of being the place where heroes come from. These young heroes have come all the way and have achieved great results. However, I don't really recognize them. Can your envoy tell me?"

May I introduce you to him?"

The two envoys hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Yes!" But when they straightened up and were about to speak, they discovered another problem. Someone from both countries was finally selected, but Emperor Liang only said "introduction" and did not

Specify who will introduce first and who will be introduced later. Originally speaking first

It wasn't a big deal in hindsight, but at such a grand banquet, everyone always had to look out for each other. What's more, Dayu and Beiyan are not friendly neighbors. They usually fight each other and scratch each other.

There are many times, and no one wants to show weakness.

After being stunned for a moment, the two envoys felt that being frozen like this was not the solution, so they had to look at the host together. All they saw was the old emperor's unkind smile, which made it clear that he wanted them to solve this order problem by themselves.

.

"We Dayu have a total of two warriors selected this time..." Dayu's envoy immediately said. The implication is that we have two and you only have one, so let's talk first.

"It's a pity that these ten people don't have a chance to compete with each other. Our Baili Warriors still feel that they are still satisfied." Beiyan Zhengzhi was unwilling to be outdone. It means that two of your family are not as powerful as ours, so why should you?

Let’s talk first.

"Actually, there are many warriors in our country who are capable of participating in the battle, but I just thought that this is a proposal to the princess, and it must be both talented and beautiful, so I carefully selected them in advance." Dayu Zhengzhi's eyes were full of disdain.

, clearly sarcastic about Bai Qi’s ugly appearance, and the princess will definitely look down on him.

"There is an old saying, 'If you judge a person by his appearance, he will lose his talent.' The princess is such an extraordinary person. How could she be so favorably minded to those who are rich and beautiful but lose their beauty..." Beiyan Zhengshi also has sharp teeth.

He pushed it back immediately.

Emperor Liang then laughed and tried to persuade him to make peace: "Today's friendship between the three countries is still a happy event, so why bother with the details. Please sit down, both of you, and let Meng Zhi do the introduction."

Meng Zhi immediately stepped forward to attend. After saying "I obey the order", he turned around and went to one of the selected people from Dayu. He politely guided him with his palms and said: "This Dayu warrior, whose surname is You Guangzhi, twenty-eight

When he was 20 years old, his father was an official in the second rank of Zhongshu. He was once engaged to the Hu family, but the engagement was broken off three months ago." Then he came to the Beiyan banquet and said: "

This Northern Yan warrior, whose surname is Baili Mingqi, is thirty years old. He is a general of the fourth prince of Northern Yan. Except this time, he has never left the fourth prince and is unmarried." After that, he returned to Dayu and said.

: "This Dayu warrior, whose surname is Zheng Mingcheng, is twenty-seven years old. He is the younger brother-in-law of the second prince of Dayu. He once married his wife Zeng, but she was divorced six months ago on charges of bad language."

Emperor Liang listened silently and sighed.

The envoy of Dayu did not expect that Daliang would find out the details of these candidates so clearly. He felt a little guilty and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, these two are outstanding talents in our country. They are good-looking and their previous engagement has definitely ended.

I am clean and dare not wrong the princess."

The envoy of Beiyan sneered: "It's really the right time to end it!"

"It's better than sending all the slaves from your country. Do you know that you are asking for marriage from the princess?" Dayu said angrily.

"The princess wants to marry a person, not a family. Originally, as a princess, there is no need to care about family status?"

"Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between high and low. How can we ignore it?"

"Our country's hundred-mile warrior had become brothers with the fourth prince before he left. The word "noble" or "low" is just a matter of fate."

"You..." The envoy of Dayu was about to argue again. Someone beside him secretly tugged on his sleeve and whispered: "There are already regulations on how the princess chooses her son-in-law. It is useless to argue."

The envoy of Dayu was not stupid at all. He immediately understood after reminding him. What’s more, the person who stopped him was his deputy envoy. Jin Diao Chai Ming, a famous master on the Langya List, could not refuse to listen. He immediately snorted.

With a sound, he sat down.

Emperor Liang watched their argument with a cold eye and remained silent until both sides stopped fighting. He then slowly said: "We are all talented people, so there is no need to fight. It's a pity that I am busy with government affairs and have not been able to watch every competition. To these few

The warriors are still very unfamiliar."

"My son, I have a suggestion." King Yu is the smartest by nature, and he is very sensitive to information. He already knew what his father meant, so he took the opportunity to say, "Why don't we take advantage of today's banquet and let these ten warriors compete with each other? It will be a good conversation."

.”

Emperor Liang pondered slightly, stroked his beard and said, "I wonder what you guys mean?"

"I think Prince Yu's suggestion is a bit ill-advised," the prince said hurriedly, "Father is here, there is no room for swords and swords in the court. What if I am shocked..." After saying this, Mei Chang suddenly glanced at the end of his eyes.

Su raised the glass in his hand to enjoy it, while shaking his head gently, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, anxious.

He quickly changed his mind, "This is just a little worry about my father... But then I thought about it, recalling how heroic my father was when he quelled the civil strife, and with Commander Meng standing by, it wouldn't be a big deal.

, so my son suggested that we all can discuss each other, but only if the key points are reached, it will be unlucky to see blood."

He changed his mind midway and showed some quick wit. King Yu didn't see Mei Changsu's hint and didn't understand why this man suddenly became enlightened. He felt a little disappointed and snorted coldly.

"The suggestions of the two princes are very much to my liking," Emperor Liang said with a smile, "Then let's challenge them as we please, there is no need to set any more rules."

As soon as he said this, it was clear that he really wanted to watch everyone compete. The prince secretly thought that it was dangerous, and he couldn't help but cast grateful eyes on Mei Changsu, but the latter was leaning over to listen to Princess Nihuang's whispers.

see.

Although it is a free challenge, everyone has earned this qualification through hard work, and in front of the princess, no one is willing to appear rashly, fearing that the glory will not be successful but will be embarrassing, so they are weighing each other for a while.

, the situation cooled down briefly.

"I'll go first." The person who stood up with a long laugh was of course Yan Yujin, who was light and uncaring. After coming to the atrium and saluting Emperor Liang, he turned back leisurely and raised his chin: "I'm going to say this

Yujin, challenge Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Jingrui looked at him dumbfounded, but he had no choice but to stand up. Seeing the two of them standing opposite each other, holding fists,* several of them couldn't help but laugh. These two boys have been biting each other since they were young, and they haven't learned how to do it yet.

We have left teeth marks on each other's faces while walking, but when it comes to serious fights, we have never seen them.

But when everyone watched the two men start fighting with anticipation, within a few moves, all the spectators couldn't help but "cut~~" in their hearts. How could this be an important battle? It was clearly an exhibition match. Xiao Jingrui was stunned.

That's all, he was usually quite decent, but Yujin was determined to show off, showing off all his most stylish and beautiful movements, flying all over the place like a butterfly, sometimes Xiao Jingrui's

When his offensive accidentally blocked the move he was about to show, he still glared at others. Even in his busy schedule, he did not forget to choose an angle to show the princess a charming smile, which made Princess Nihuang burst into laughter.

He stood up, gasped and waved his hands: "Xiao... Xiaojin... that's enough, that's enough... I know... you have been the most handsome since you were a child..."

After such an opening battle, the atmosphere on the scene was naturally relaxed to the extreme. Soon people came out one after another to ask for a fight. There were endless exciting scenes for a while, and it was true that each of them had extraordinary skills and their own strengths.

After about four or five games, Bailiqi, the biggest dark horse, finally stood up and hugged a big man who had already won a game but also had a rest in the middle. On such an occasion, it was impossible to hesitate.

Of course the other party stood up immediately.

"This man is not from the capital, do you know him?" Yan Yujin asked close to his friend's ear.

"Li Xiao is the most outstanding disciple of Wudang generation. Father Zhuo often praises him. His internal skills are extremely solid, and he can be considered a rival of Bai Qi." Xiao Jingrui said in a low voice.

When the two of them were whispering, they had already exchanged hands. There are many masters in Wudang in the past, and their internal skills, mental skills, moves and body skills are naturally superior. Facing a master like Bai Qi, Li Xiao attacked and defended.

Properly, every move contains power in its simplicity. In the blink of an eye, dozens of moves passed without any signs of failure.

However, just as everyone was applauding Li Xiao for the wonderful move of "one decreases, the other increases", Princess Nihuang suddenly took a breath of cold air, and at the same time, Meng Zhi Luck shouted: "No!" The lingering sound did not disappear.

, Li Xiao's body had flown out, and Meng Zhi caught him in a flash, and helped him sit on the ground. When he looked again, he was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale. Meng Zhi held his limp right arm and explored it slightly, then frowned.

Fortunately, Bailiqi was not able to break all the tendons in his arm, but the arm bones were broken and the main tendons were seriously injured. Although the young man gritted his teeth and did not

He groaned, but it could be seen from the miserable look in his eyes that he already understood that the injury he suffered today would make it difficult for him to improve his cultivation in the future.

"This is the intermittent ointment made by Mr. Xun Zhen, a cold doctor. Apply it for three days and you will be fully recovered within half a month without exerting any force." Mei Changsu quietly came around from the side without knowing when, and put a

He stuffed the box of ointment into Li Xiao's pocket and said softly, "You must trust Mr. Xun and rest in peace. There will be no sequelae."

Xun Zhen's intermittent ointment is a rare and rare medicine in the world. A young man whom he didn't know very well actually gave the whole box to him. Li Xiao was so shocked and grateful that he even forgot about his pain. He was stunned.

He looked at Mei Changsu speechlessly.

Meng Zhi gave a brief nod to Mei Changsu and called for someone to lift Li Xiao down. Bai Qi had returned to his position at this time, his eyes still indifferent, as if the painful injury just now was nothing at all.

"Your Excellency, Ambassador Qi," the prince felt that he was losing face because he had stopped talking about the suggestion just now, so he was the first to say angrily, "We are discussing in good faith, how can the warriors of your country be so heartless? It's too much!"

The other candidates also cast angry looks. The Beiyan ambassador stood up and said proudly: "We have obeyed the prince's will and there has been no blood. Besides, injuries are inevitable in a competition of force. Our country has always respected the strong.

, everyone knows it. The princess is a heroic warrior in the military. You should know that there is no word 'benevolence' on the battlefield. How can we, the brave warriors of a hundred miles, do anything wrong?"

Emperor Liang said with hesitation: "The court is not a battlefield. Your warriors were reckless. Don't do it next time."

Having said that, after all, they were competing, and Emperor Liang couldn't get angry and punish him, so he could only rebuke him and ignore it for the time being after the other party respectfully agreed.

However, next, in the cold smile of the Beiyan envoy, everyone discovered that Bailiqi's purpose was not to seize the opportunity to show off his martial arts. He challenged seven opponents in a row, including two people from Chongqing. Although there was no
