Competing

Chapter 64
Song Yi's sudden appearance made Yin Xu and Chen Ping's originally perfect trip to find the king and grandson suddenly very unhappy.However, he only brought [-] elite soldiers, while Song Yi had a full [-] troops, and the follow-up troops were coming in a steady stream.What's more, the young and mature grandson of King Huai died of a demon, and he had an abnormal trust in Song Yi.

Monarchs and ministers are different, the crown prince is going to Xuyi, who can object?

Chen Ping sighed in a low voice: "Pengcheng is the best place to build a capital right now, but this guy chooses Xuyi..."

"Uneasy and kind!" Yin Xu squeezed out four words indignantly.

Chen Ping sighed: "Yes! It will be a matter of time before the capital is moved to Pengcheng in the future, but now Marshal Xiang has suffered a big loss. How can we explain it when we go back?"

At this moment, Song Yi laughed loudly and said, "Everyone, rest early and set off tomorrow to escort His Highness the Crown Prince to Xuyi!"

Chen Ping sighed again, Prime Minister Chen was really angry this time!
Song Yi strode over with his head held high, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "General Yin and Lord Chen are also invited to return to Pengcheng in time to announce the king's order to all the princes, and invite them to worship in Xuyi."

Chen Ping turned his head coldly, and Su An stood not far away, aggrieved, and wanted to speak out several times, but was stopped by Pu Jun.Seeing Song Yi's arrogant and complacent expression, Yin Xu turned his heart and said loudly: "It is necessary to notify the princes of Pengcheng, but I am responsible for protecting His Royal Highness and everyone, and you must not leave your post without permission!"

Song Yi said with a smile: "General Yin, don't worry, with my official here, His Royal Highness is safe and sound! Just go at ease!"

Yin Xu shook his head, deliberately pretending to be stupid, and said in a daze: "This is not acceptable. When Xue Di met the alliance, I promised all the princes to personally visit His Royal Highness, and to protect his safety at every step. How can such an important promise be broken by the world? Let alone The loyalty of the volunteers from all walks of life to Da Chu, the general should not be negligent in the slightest."

Seeing Yin Xu's insistence, Chen Ping immediately became interested, turned around and said with a smile, "Yes! How can we live up to the sincerity of the soldiers and civilians of Great Chu?" He exchanged glances with Yin Xu, and the eyes were full of tacit understanding of the same hatred.You, Song Yi, want to control the crown prince Xiong Xin alone, and coerce the crown prince to make the princes, dreaming!The close guard right of the grandson of King Huai must not be let go!
Song Yi's face darkened, and he said, "General Yin doesn't trust me?"

Yin Xu smiled and said: "Oh, why did Song Ling Yin say that? You are an important minister of the Great Chu, and you will have admired them for a long time!"

Song Yi said coldly: "Really? I have enough strength to protect His Highness the Crown Prince. General Yin is busy with military affairs, so I should go to Pengcheng sooner!"

"That's right! It's true that the military affairs are troublesome. I will protect His Royal Highness under the military order, and I dare not disobey it! Please forgive me, Song Lingyin!" Yin Xu said in his heart: "I'm going to be ashamed today, let's see if you can do this?"

Song Yi's face became more and more gloomy. Although he had the upper hand today, he didn't dare to do anything to Yin Xu and Chen Ping.As the saying goes, a big dog depends on its owner. At present, Xiang Liang's power is in full swing, and Yin Xu is also famous in the world. If he acts rashly, he will give others a handle.Today's fundamental purpose is to hold the grandson of King Huai in his hands and improve his own status, but Yin Xu's insistence makes him really embarrassed.It seems that we have to use force within a limited range, ahem!

After Song Yi coughed twice, a middle-aged man walked out from behind, holding a long sword in his arms, silent and stern.Looking at Yin Xu provocatively, he said coldly: "General Yin keeps saying that he wants to protect His Royal Highness, but I don't know if he has the ability?"

Don't you just want to compete?Yin Xu saw the middle-aged man's purpose at a glance.Song Yi!Wendou can't play martial arts, so let's play with you.Proudly said: "The ability is proved by strength, not by words."

The middle-aged swordsman looked proud and said: "General Yin is really confident. There are always some people in the world who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth. If they are blindly conceited, they will die miserably. If General Yin wants to shoulder the important task of protecting the crown prince, must he show his strength? To convince these thousands of brothers, right?"

"That's exactly what I mean!" Yin Xu replied very simply, and he would never be procrastinating when it comes to matters of face and dignity.

The middle-aged man immediately said: "So, Pingwu is willing to accompany the general to do two tricks, to see if he can get into the general's eyes."

"This..." Chen Ping couldn't help hesitating a little. It sounded like an ordinary exchange of ideas, but when he moved his hands, the sword had no eyes, it was either you or me, and he couldn't help but worry about Yin Xu's safety.

Yin Xu shook his head lightly, signaling Chen Ping not to worry.It can be seen from the figure and momentum that Ping Wu's martial arts is not low, and Yin Xu has no certainty of victory before he can figure out the strength of the enemy.But this battle is not only related to reputation and dignity, but also related to the political interests of the Kuaiji Group, so it cannot be avoided.

Furthermore, it has been more than half a year since he studied with Xiang Zhuang, and Yin Xu's swordsmanship is no longer that of Wuxia Amon in the past.Two years of diligent qigong cultivation has almost completely integrated that violent energy into the meridians, and his skill has increased a lot, not to mention that he has an extremely sharp water-breaking sword in his hand, which has the strength to fight against the arrogant Pingwu.

General Yin and Pingwu had a sword competition, and all the soldiers present became interested.Yin Xu's battle with Xiang Zhuang was well known in the Kuaiji army.Ping Wu was Song Yi's personal bodyguard, and his reputation spread far and wide. One can imagine the attraction of such a fight.Xiong Kang and Qu Ming saw it, but they couldn't interfere. The matter was far beyond their capabilities.The only qualified Xiong Xin didn't ask, and was surprisingly calm, looking at the two swordsmen calmly with distant eyes.

The soldiers had already cleared a large open space in the arena, the fence had already been leveled, and the circle of torches shone like daylight.In the center of the arena, Yin Xu and Heping Wudu stood facing each other with long swords in their hands.Song Yi walked to the side gracefully, as if determined to win, very proud.

In a master's fight, momentum is very important. Ping Wu originally thought that Yin Xu would be impatient because he was young and energetic.After staring at each other for a full quarter of an hour, Yin Xu remained calm, under the questioning and urging of the soldiers around him.Ping Wu had to draw his sword first and make a move, after all, he proposed the competition on his own initiative.

Yin Xu smiled lightly, Duan Shui had already come out of its sheath, and a pool of autumn water shone coldly under the light of the fire.Only then did Ping Wu notice that Yin Xu's weapon was a sharp sword, which was unexpected, and he couldn't help being shocked, for he had already lost the opportunity.

clang!
The sound of the two swords clashing could be heard endlessly, beating on everyone's heart like raindrops.

As soon as they fought, Yin Xu realized that this level of martial arts was indeed not simple, and his sword skills were still superior to Xiang Zhuang. In all fairness, if he continued to fight like this, he would undoubtedly lose after three hundred moves.Yin Xu, who was born in a military academy, knows how to make the best use of the situation, and he still has an advantage.I am better at short-term explosive power.Moreover, Ping Wu has always been too conceited, and there is a saying that arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated. Yin Xu quickly seized the opportunity of his carelessness and used the Donglai swordsmanship known for its unique moves and surprises.

Huh?
Ping Wu was shocked, what kind of sword technique is this?Temporarily shrink to avoid its edge.

If that's the case, great!Yin Xu seized the opportunity, changed his footsteps flexibly, swung the ground, combined with the explosive power based on violent aura and the sharp blade of Duan Shui, he slashed down with one sword after another.The strength was so great that Ping Wu never thought of it. Under the pressure of the strange moves, he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.Ping Wu secretly screamed that something was wrong, he had already noticed that Yin Xu's swordsmanship was not as good as his own, and if he fought for a while, he would definitely not be his opponent.Unexpectedly, Yin Xu used such a wonderful trick, and instantly counterattacked. Is he going to lose to this brat today?Is the famous name of the first life ruined like this?
Song Yi looked at it, the smile on his face froze, and his brows were knit into a knot.He knew Ping Wu's strength, but he was so beaten by Yin Xu that he couldn't fight back. He was weird. It seemed that this kid was really not simple.In the year of the weak crown, the name moved the world, and it really lived up to its reputation.It can be said that he and Pingwu share weal and woe, and he can't help but worry a lot, and somewhat regret this hasty decision.

Xiong Kang and Qu Ming, as guards of the Chu Palace, are martial arts masters themselves.Seeing Yin Xu and Heping's knives, lights and swords, you come and go, you can't help but be amazed.Especially Yin Xu is only 20 years old, he is really a formidable young man!Xiong Xin couldn't help showing appreciation and longing on his face, his eyes were long and thoughtful.This competition really shocked thousands of soldiers. Song Yi's subordinates were surprised to see that Ping Wu, who had always been aloof, was so "unhelpful" in front of Yin Xu, and they had a little more respect for General Yin. Feelings.

Although Chen Ping and Su An had heard about Yin Xu's martial arts, they had never seen it. Tonight, they were lucky enough to see Yin Xu's unrestrained and majestic sword, and they couldn't help being amazed.The [-] soldiers under his command saw General Yin displaying his supernatural power, and there was a loud clapping and applause.

Pu Jun is already used to it, but when others applaud happily, he has an extra layer of worry.He is aware of the young master's situation, such a large chopping consumes so much physical strength, he is worried how long the young master can last?It seems a little difficult to completely defeat Pingwu...

Yin Xu is the clearest about his own situation, but Duan Shui's slashing and slashing with one sword after another consumes a lot of energy. After more than 20 swords in a row, he is already a bit exhausted.I wanted to persevere until I broke Pingwu's saber, and I ended up with a complete victory.However, Pingwu's notched blade was still firm, and Yin Xu couldn't help screaming that it was not good, and if this continued, he was afraid that he would be reversed.I thought about it for a few times, but I couldn't step forward, shouted violently, slashed three swords in a row, forced Pingwu to retreat, and retreated quickly.

"Let's stop here for today! Brother Ping, let's see if I have the ability to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Yin Xu put on a gesture of resignation, and quickly adjusted his breath and recovered his strength while speaking.

Ping Wu was a little confused, he didn't expect Yin Xu to do such a trick suddenly.Just now he was forced by Yin Xu to retreat continuously, which was a big loss of face, but he soon discovered Yin Xu's disadvantages, and the strength of his chopping was constantly decreasing.Originally, he wanted to wait until Yin Xu was exhausted, to counterattack with all his strength, humiliate and save face, but he never thought that Yin Xu would come up with such a trick and stop playing.

Yin Xu stopped before exhaustion, in order to avoid failure.But in the eyes of everyone, Yin Xu spared Ping Wu with a huge advantage and a broad mind.He was forced to retreat one after another just now, and the countless gaps on the blade are the best proof.Ping Wu was a little dumbfounded, but Yin Xu had already given up, if he attacked again at this time, he would lose his grace greatly.well!This dumb person must suffer, Ping Wu's eyes were full of resentment, and he swore to himself: One day, he must take revenge!

Song Yi was extremely embarrassed. The number one swordsman under his command was "frustrated" by Yin Xu in this way, and his face was greatly lost.Fortunately, Xiong Xin stepped forward at the right time and said, "Both of you are first-class swordsmen in our Great Chu, let's escort the widow to Xuyi together!"

The two sides just gave up, so as not to cause too much embarrassment!But everyone's memories of the battle just now are still fresh, and they talk about it with great interest, as if they had grown wings, spreading far away.

Only then did Yin Xu heave a long sigh of relief. His body supported by perseverance was exhausted to the extreme, and his whole body was covered with sweat, dripping wet.When he was about to turn around and leave, he looked up and saw Ping Wu's resentful eyes.General Yin was actually the one who conceded defeat, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought: Brother is just opportunistic, don’t you agree?You deserve to be humiliated!
