Chapter 208 210 [Forbidden Army Performing Martial Arts]

On the northern outskirts of the imperial palace, in the camp of the Forbidden Army, the martial arts competition kicked off, and the first stage was broken.

Outside dozens of contestants, more than two hundred forbidden troops surrounded them, all holding a shield and a short stick.

No one's weapon is more dominant, but if you want to break through this encirclement, it means that the contestants must fight against each other.Without strong skills, he must have been beaten all over his body with bruises.

Jun Shi was naturally the one with excellent abilities, but the order from Empress Wu cast a shadow on his heart, and he was stunned when he saw the forbidden troops outside the circle.

In contrast, Lunes felt a little nervous.One-on-one, he is confident that he can defeat an ordinary forbidden army, but in a melee surrounded by many people, he doesn't have much confidence. The strength of the forbidden army is not a joke.

As for the others, it's up to each other.

The barbarians who followed Runes to participate in martial arts performances were promised generous rewards.As long as they win the first level, they can help Runes in the second level, and the bounty will be enough for them to live in Chang'an for a year.

Moreover, there are many potential benefits from fighting against the Forbidden Army.Not only can you test your own strength, but you can also save yourself a certain amount of capital.Even if only two of them were killed, it would be enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives.

So all of them are gearing up, looking at their opposing Forbidden Army opponents, looking for flaws and only waiting to attack.

The other forbidden troops who signed up to participate in martial arts exercises were mostly guys with low status but who were confident in their own strength.

They come here for a purpose. They don't expect to reach level 3, but they want their performance to be recognized by their bosses or noble people, and they will be promoted soon.

Yuan Pengfei thought differently from the others. He was good at this kind of foot combat, and it was not difficult for him to break the formation.And he was even more curious about the inside story of this contest?
Could it be that Princess Mingyue is really a green tea whore, who turned a blind eye to the licking dog who has followed him for several years, and was hooked up by a little prince who just arrived?
That day, he saw with his own eyes the princess going to deliver the medicine, and the two of them looked at each other with each other's eyes. After she left, Runes was as excited as a monkey, singing and dancing while holding a musical instrument.

However, all the mysteries will be revealed today. As long as he gets No.1, the princess will promise to solve the puzzle for him, and he can also satisfy one of his non-excessive demands.

And he originally wanted to use this martial arts performance to get a chance to talk to a certain nobleman, so that he could get an extra benefit by the way, which is naturally even better.

"Boom, boom, boom boom boom..."

The drums of attack sounded, and all the muscles in the martial arts field tensed up instantly.

"Ha~"

Jun Shi shouted violently, charging towards his opponent like a bull with a round shield on his head. With a "bang", the imperial army in front of him was directly knocked away several meters, and the formation was directly broken.

Not to be outdone, Yuan Pengfei rushed to the imperial army to focus on his calves, tripping, kicking, sweeping... the effect was not so good, and in a blink of an eye, four or five of them were already lying down under his feet.

The other guards were frightened by the battle, and they surrounded the others as if they hadn't seen him.

For the army in the battle formation, what they want is the simplest killing technique. If they stab the enemy in the chest with their spear, who will care about how to hit them with their feet when their lives are gone?
Moreover, in this kind of martial arts, the swords and swords normally equipped on the battlefield were replaced with wooden sticks, which greatly weakened the lethality.Even if you get a stick, there is no danger.

If in a real battlefield, Yuan Pengfei's cunning style of play, paying attention to the bottom and ignoring the top, would accidentally lose his life, and he would be pretending to be a blatant.

In this way, Yuan Pengfei was the first to break through the battle line easily, and he was still in the mood to watch the excitement.

Junshi has two brushes. He basically suppresses the Forbidden Army and fights. Occasionally, he gets a blow, which is to save his strength. After all, they all belong to the Sixteenth Guards series of the Forbidden Army. The mountains and rivers will not change. Maybe we'll meet one day.

As for Lunes, it was a bit miserable. The guards didn't save him a bit of face. The stick hit him one after another, and a buddy knocked him back with a shield.

Such a comparison makes a judgment.

The greater a person's ambition, the more motivation he will have. He has overcome all eighty difficulties without missing a beat.

Runes regrouped and fought with the Imperial Army again.

However, as the rhythm of the drums accelerated, the imperial guards gradually began to release water. Although the stick hit him as painful, the cooperation between them was not so close. When Lunes knocked him to the ground, he pretended to He was so injured that he lay on the ground and never got up.

I feel that the level of water release needs to be improved. It is as hard and soft as the national football team, and I am not afraid that the "little brother" will not be able to stand up.

As the sand in the hourglass drains out, the drumming ends.This concludes the first level. A total of 1 people have successfully passed the level, and the rest have been wiped out.

No one on the battlefield will let you rest, so without giving them any time to rest, the second stage of the siege begins immediately.

The main defense of a city in war is its moat and walls.A soldier must brave the threat of arrows and flying stones, walk through a narrow road paved with sand and stone, climb up a ladder to kill the surrounding enemy troops, and climb the city wall. This is the first to climb.

Throughout the dynasties, those who dared to die were paid special attention to. The rewards of promotion and title, money, fields and house servants were almost higher than beheading generals and capturing the flag.

Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo of the Han Dynasty, Le Jin during the Three Kingdoms period, and Zhang Shigui during the Taizong period of the Tang Dynasty were all the first generals who played an immeasurable role in the victory of the war.

Of course, this is a martial arts show, so it's impossible to really play that hard.The most difficult part was just to build a narrow bridge imitating the battlefield. Several pendulums swept left and right, killing or maiming them. In addition, behind the vertical pillars where the pendulums were set up, some soldiers from the Imperial Army were arranged to block them, adding more Some difficulty.

This level is the one that widens the gap. Agile people like Yuan Pengfei and Jun Shi take the lead so that no one can see their backs, while the other ten people can only eat dust behind them.

Lunes is just a rookie. Facing a trench more than two meters wide, he didn't dare to jump over it.Seeing that everyone else jumped over, he gritted his teeth and jumped over.

When encountering a big pendulum, Junshi looked at the frequency, found a gap and rushed over, and then wrestled with the guards.

Yuan Pengfei was faster than him, and regardless of whether the pendulum was on or not, a lazy donkey rolled over with his palms on the ground, and by the way, another leg sweeper swept the guard down, got up and continued to rush forward.

Runes was so panicked that his face turned pale due to the wind swinging around the pendulum. Looking at the gap, he didn't dare to pass directly. He lay on the floor and rolled over, and then he was brutally attacked by two guards. The beating.

Recently, His Majesty the Emperor's health has improved a bit, and he is sitting in the stands with the Queen, watching this military exercise by the Imperial Army.

Seeing the performance of martial arts at this moment, he said with satisfaction: "There are so many talents in the imperial army! The imperial guard who took the lead is interesting. What's his name?"

Empress Wu didn't know the name of this unknown soldier, so she turned her eyes to the commander of the imperial army.

The commander of the imperial army had seen the list of candidates for the martial arts performance, and he was still impressed by this noble son: "Your Majesty, this person is Yuan Pengfei, the second son of Pingjin Marquis."

"Not bad, not bad, quite like his father." He praised again: "Break through the formation first, I'm afraid he is the first general, so interesting."

This compliment cheered up the people around him and focused their attention on Yuan Pengfei.

Every ambitious emperor will pay special attention to Wenzhiwugong.An excellent general can play a pivotal role, and everyone will pay special attention to it.

Everyone who can be called the first general must have unique skills in breaking the city first.You can't be named a Marquis if you don't have military merits, but there are definitely a lot of military merits that have been broken repeatedly, and there is potential to be a Marquis in the future.

While watching the excitement here, Yuan Pengfei came to the last small checkpoint, climbed to the top of the ladder, snatched sticks with his hands, got down on the last two guards, and successfully boarded the city.

Standing on it and looking down, Junshi was not far from the finish line. Runes was still spinning around halfway, fighting with the two guards.As for the barbarians who took his money to help him, they were still fighting with the guards not far behind him!

Seeing that time was running out, the drumbeat became more urgent, and the guards everywhere staged a national football-style release of water.

Lunes suddenly felt that there was no pressure at all. It was like playing on water and jumping through levels. Except for being careful about the traps, the journey was smooth, which made Yuan Pengfei almost laugh out loud.

And this also reflects a situation, Empress Wu has a lot of influence in the Forbidden Army, and there are quite a few people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for him.It is estimated that apart from a coup against righteousness, everything can be done, and I don't know how the emperor became.

When Runes stepped onto the city wall, the drumming gradually ended. In the third stage of the cavalry battle, only the three of them were left.

Empress Wu, who was sitting on the high platform, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Prince Kang has traveled thousands of miles to come to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty must also show its broad mind. Why not let Junshi and Yuan Pengfei compete first, and the winner will then compete with Kang Guo Prince vs.

She wanted to reduce Prince Kang's opponents, but with the hat of a big country, the emperor couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.

Princess Mingyue stood aside, feeling even more uncomfortable.In this way, her winning rate dropped from [-]% to [-]%.What kind of deep hatred does Empress Wu have with her? Is it necessary to marry her to the Western Regions?
Here is melancholy, Lunes is happy, and Junshi is relieved.He looked at Yuan Pengfei with a long-lost smile on his face.

Yuan Pengfei didn't understand what this smile meant at first, and thought it was a tough battle that would take at least dozens of rounds and some dangerous moves to win.

But he immediately understood that Jun Shi was a bad actor. Within three rounds, the spear in his hand fell to the ground and he lost.

A riding captain who was skilled in bow and horse could not hold a spear with trembling hands. Is his opponent Xiang Yu, the Overlord, or Lu Bu, the God of War?

This acting is really terrible, the performance is so bad, it's clear that he doesn't want to fight Lunes!

Scanning the expressions of everyone in the stands, Yuan Pengfei saw Empress Wu's stiff expression and felt ten thousand grass-mud horses flash through his mind.

He suddenly understood that one of the most important goals of his trip turned out to be the driving force behind all this.Junshi wisely gave up the final duel, but left him on the fire to be roasted.

But he still has no way to do it. The customer's task is there, unless he still wants the task to fail.

Thinking of this, he could only selectively forget Empress Wu's face, and seriously prepare for the final competition.

Runes put on protective armor, held a wooden spear in his hand, and faced the enemy from a distance while riding on his horse.

His eyes were not on his opponent, but on Princess Mingyue in the distance.All the efforts he made were for her, and all the hardships he endured today were also for her.

This is the last competition. If he wins the competition, he can take the first and most important step in his ambition.

He is a person who is demanding of perfection, not only wants to win the princess, but if possible, he also wants to win the heart of the princess.

It's just that the princess's expression is still so indifferent, without sadness, joy, or affection, just like a wooden man.

Lunes couldn't figure out what the princess was thinking at the moment, he only knew that the princess probably didn't have him in his heart.

Withdrawing his eyes and those complicated emotions, he looked at the opponent in front of him again.

All along, he thought that his opponent was the Captain Junshi who had the demeanor of a general.He didn't expect such a person to come out halfway, which was beyond his expectation.

But for him, no matter who his opponent is, he must win.

"Boom~boom~boom!"

The war drum sounded, and across a row of wooden fences that were half the height of a person, the two mobilized their horses at the same time and launched an attack on their opponents.

The distance of tens of meters passed in an instant, the two horses were in contact with each other, and the two wooden guns separated with one blow, and then returned to the places where they launched their attacks.

Neither of them is a natural warrior and can knock someone down in one go.This confrontation was an ordinary temptation.

In terms of strength and skills, the two are almost the same. Normally speaking, it is difficult to distinguish the winner in a short period of time.In terms of stamina, Yuan Pengfei had the upper hand. Lunes had suffered countless blows. Now that he was able to fight on horseback, it was his ambition and perseverance that supported him.

Bang, the two wooden guns hit again, another bit of Runes' physical strength was consumed, and Yuan Pengfei's winning rate increased.

Princess Mingyue stood in the stands, with a rare smile on her lips, thinking to herself: You can accomplish such a big thing by bribing an inconspicuous guard. This transaction is a huge profit.

Turning her attention to Queen Wu, she was a little gloating that Aye's method of suppressing her had failed, which was a blow to the Queen's prestige.

Moreover, with the appearance of His Majesty the Emperor, the ministers should fall like grass in the wind again, and Empress Wu's life would be difficult.

On the martial arts field below, it was already the eighth round in the blink of an eye, and Runes' hand holding the spear was already unsteady.

But this time, before he could swing out his spear, the horse he was sitting on seemed to be frightened, and raised its front hooves, making a painful neighing sound.

Yuan Pengfei, who was passing by on his horse, knocked him off his horse without any hassle, and the victory was determined.

At that moment, Lunes heard the sound of heartbreak, it was his ambition broken.

People always pay attention to the number one. It doesn't matter who the number two is. Even if he is a prince, no one cares.

Lunes was directly carried down, and Junshi stood in the corner below, looking at Yuan Pengfei who was received by the Holy Majesty with mixed emotions.

Empress Wu was not Emperor Wu after all. The real emperor was still here. No matter how much dissatisfaction she had in her heart, she couldn't express it.

Defeating Prince Kang and raising the prestige of the Tang Dynasty is always something worth celebrating.

Li Zhi was also very happy and looked at him with admiration: "Tell me, what reward do you want?"
