At the night banquet, the wine was flowing and the ministers were talking about the hunting trip during the day.

At this time, a charming voice sounded: "Father, I heard that the daughter of General Weiyuan, Princess Rong'an, is a good daughter of a tiger father. She is skilled in martial arts and has reaped a lot of rewards during the hunt today. I have also started to learn martial arts since I was a child. Why don't you ask Princess Rong'an to spar with me to cheer you up? What do you think, Father?"

As soon as the words fell, the lively banquet suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes fell on Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan lowered his head, a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips, and thought to himself: It's finally here.

Emperor Renxiao smiled unchanged, looked at Bai Zhiyuan and said, "Rong'an, are you willing to compete with Changle?"

Bai Zhiyuan stood up and bowed to the emperor, saying, "Princess, if you like, I will obey you."

Princess Duanhui and Bai Qiuze, who were sitting below, were anxious and wanted to reject this rude request on behalf of Bai Zhiyuan. They had also heard about Princess Changle's evil deeds, but they didn't know how Bai Zhiyuan had offended her.

Sitting next to the emperor, Prince Kangding narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists, and stared at Bai Zhiyuan with a sinister look on his face. The last incident at Yuanyang Tower had offended Prince Yan, and he eventually found out that it was closely related to the Princess Rong'an in front of him.

Cheng Beixiao frowned and whispered to Xie Yunsong, "What is Princess Changle doing? Miss Bai is in trouble today. How can you be so calm? Xie Yunsong, you are so heartless."

Xie Yunsong, who was standing by, heard this and ignored him. A trace of worry quickly flashed across his eyes, which was accidentally seen by Princess Changle.

Princess Changle's face darkened. She said, "I heard that Princess Rong'an has a sword that can cut through iron like mud. It's called the White Rainbow Sword. Why don't you use this sword as a bargaining chip? If you lose, the sword will belong to me."

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes were calm, making it impossible to tell what emotions he had. He raised his eyes and asked, "What if the princess loses?"

Princess Changle sneered and said, "How could this princess lose?"

This was too arrogant, and everyone in the hall was waiting to see what Bai Zhiyuan would say.

Bai Zhiyuan's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "Since it is a competition, there will naturally be winners and losers. Since the princess wants me to use my most precious thing as a bet, to be fair, shouldn't the princess also use her most precious thing as a bet?"

Princess Changle looked mocking and said arrogantly: "In this case, to demonstrate fairness, I will take out my most precious thing to compete with you. But I can't remember what my most precious thing is at the moment." As she spoke, she looked at Xie Yunsong, only to see that he didn't even raise his eyelids, and she couldn't help feeling hurt.

Bai Zhiyuan naturally saw Princess Changle talking about the most precious thing, and looked at Xie Yunsong. She laughed in her heart, but did not show it on her face. She smiled lightly and said, "I heard that when the princess came of age, His Majesty once rewarded the princess with a gold medal. It is said that seeing this gold medal is like seeing His Majesty in person. Why don't you take it out today and let everyone feast their eyes on it?"

When the ministers heard this, they all gasped. How bold was the daughter of General Weiyuan to actually want to use the gift from the emperor as a bargaining chip?

The Emperor Renxiao and the Empress on the high throne both showed their displeasure, but Princess Changle seemed to have not heard anything. Upon hearing this, she said proudly, "Yes, my father has rewarded me with a gold medal. In this case, I will take out this gold medal to compete with you."

Bai Zhiyuan raised his lips and said, "It's just that... in a competition, swords have no eyes. If I hurt the princess, won't the emperor and queen blame me?"

Princess Changle thought: You are about to die, but you are still talking so much nonsense. But it is better this way, if I "accidentally" hurt her later, I can explain it.

Princess Changle was about to speak when she thought about this. Emperor Renxiao, who was sitting on the high throne, said calmly, "Of course not. Since it was Changle who proposed the competition, Rong'an, you don't have to worry about it."

Bai Zhiyuan knew that the Emperor was displeased by Princess Changle's use of the gold medal as a prize.

The Queen's heart skipped a beat. She knew the Emperor best. The Emperor was obviously unhappy with what he said just now. The Queen felt a little uneasy. If Changle hadn't asked her to make Bai Zhiyuan look bad today, she, as the Queen of a country, would not embarrass a court lady. Fortunately, the palace servants had drugged Bai Zhiyuan in advance, so she thought she was no match for Changle.

Thinking of this, the queen felt relieved again. Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "In that case, Princess, please go."

After saying this, she turned and walked towards the open space in front of the hall.

Seeing this, Princess Changle turned around and followed him.

All the officials in the square, the emperor, empress and concubines on the high seats, and the royal relatives sitting down, were all staring at the two people in the open space in the square.

Prince Chen turned sideways and whispered to Prince Yan beside him, "The Rong'an County Lady is Fifth Brother's junior sister. Who do you think will win today?"

Before the King of Yan could speak, the Eighth Prince beside him said in a baby voice, "Of course it's Sister Rong'an. Sister Changle always bullies me, so I don't want her to win."

The seventh prince, Prince Jin, who had been silent all this time, stared at Bai Zhiyuan motionlessly. Before, Xie Yunsong told him that General Weiyuan's daughter was willing to assist him, but he did not take it seriously. How much ability could a woman have?

But today, this woman made him look at her in a new light. Facing Changle's provocation, she was not panicked but very calm. She even asked Changle to take out the gold medal to compete with her in just a few words. The King of Jin was full of expectations for the competition in front of him, and was even more curious about the bright and beautiful woman in front of him.

Bai Tingxuan, who was standing in the crowd, was not worried at all. He was well aware of his daughter's martial arts, but he didn't know why Princess Changle wanted to compete with her. Princess Duanhui, who was standing next to him, was worried. She held Bai Tingxuan's arm tightly to ease her worries.

Cheng Beixiao on the square said, "With Miss Bai's martial arts, she is naturally better than Princess Changle. But Changle is so confident today, is there any conspiracy? Yunsong, if Miss Bai loses today, then General Weiyuan and Miss Bai will be treated as a joke and discussed by everyone."

Xie Yunsong said calmly: "She will win."

In the square, because there was a palace banquet today and weapons were not allowed, Bai Zhiyuan picked up a sword at random. It was certainly not as sharp and easy to use as the Baihong Sword, but it was more than enough to deal with Princess Changle.

I saw Princess Changle on the opposite side slowly drawing out the sword in her hand.

The sword in Princess Changle's hand was naturally excellent. As soon as the sword was unsheathed, the sword energy was awe-inspiring. Bai Zhiyuan's eyes froze for a moment, and then he suddenly pulled out the sword in his hand. Princess Changle had already rushed over.

The two figures entangled together in an instant.

It must be said that Princess Changle was born in the royal family. She had excellent martial arts masters since she was a child, and her swordsmanship was also exquisite. However, Bai Zhiyuan's swordsmanship was taught by Master Qingyi, who was proficient in swordsmanship and had a sharp sword aura, not inferior to Princess Changle.

Bai Zhiyuan was agile and his swordsmanship was extremely fast. He attacked Princess Changle like a storm.

Everyone was stunned. Princess Duanhui in the audience was relieved by this. Bai Qiuze in the crowd showed a winning smile when he saw this.

Princess Changle was shocked, and her swordsmanship was naturally affected. How could it be? She had obviously drunk the wine, which contained a drug that temporarily incapacitated people, but Bai Zhiyuan was obviously not poisoned. Unless she didn't drink it at all.

Princess Changle had an ominous premonition in her heart. If this continued, she would definitely lose.

Bai Zhiyuan on the opposite side smiled slightly and thrust his sword towards Princess Changle. Princess Changle was shocked and tried to block with her sword, but when the two swords collided, Bai Zhiyuan's sword broke.

The queen on the high throne had her heart in her throat, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. Fortunately, she had a trick up her sleeve and ordered someone to destroy Bai Zhiyuan's sword in advance.

Bai Zhiyuan took two steps back, stunned for a moment, and then realized that they really did everything they could.

When Bai Zhiyuan's family members near the square saw this, they became nervous again, especially Bai Tingxuan. He was a veteran soldier and knew what weapons meant to a soldier. Without weapons, it would be like handing his life over to the enemy.

Cheng Beixiao was shocked: "I'm afraid Miss Bai has lost this time."

Xie Yunsong did not comment, his eyes still fixed on Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan looked at him with contempt, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "The princess's sword is a good sword, but it's a pity that it is used in the wrong place."

Princess Changle looked arrogant and smug as she rushed towards Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan threw away the broken sword in his hand, picked up the scabbard, and rushed forward.

Low cheers suddenly rang out around them. The generals in the square saw clearly that a truly strong person could resolve any dilemma. Even if they didn't have weapons, everything at hand could become a weapon.

Bai Zhiyuan swung the scabbard in his hand lightly and calmly, knocking down the sword from Princess Changle's long sword in mid-air. Then he exerted force with his foot and kicked Princess Changle on the waist and abdomen. He turned his right hand and pointed the scabbard directly at Princess Changle who had fallen to the ground.

She smiled and said, "Princess, you lose."

The emperor and empress on the high throne had ugly expressions on their faces. But the crowd was in an uproar. Everyone was praising Bai Zhiyuan's swordsmanship.

Princess Changle fell to the ground, looking embarrassed, staring at Bai Zhiyuan with anger. A maid beside her hurried to help her up, but Princess Changle couldn't stand up for a while. Bai Zhiyuan's kick didn't seem heavy, but it avoided the vital parts, and she couldn't even stand up. She didn't understand, it was obviously foolproof. How could she lose.
