Thirty bowls of burning knives were arranged in three rows on the deck.

The strong alcohol smell mixed with the river wind billowed and spread in the air.

Fan Zhou, Yun Huai and others wanted to speak, but Jiang Yun raised his hand to stop them.

Jiang Yun put down the wine jar in his arms, stretched out his sleeves and stood up, the jade belt was in the wind, and the wide golden sleeves fluttered in the wind.

From all directions, all eyes were focused on this place. On the opposite boat, Sui Heng tapped on the railing with his fingers, waiting for Jiang Yun's reply.

"Tell him that Gu can compete with him, but this item is not included in the agreement. If he wants to compete with Gu, he must increase the bargaining chip."

Jiang Yun opened his mouth and asked the soldiers to pass on the message.

Fan Zhouyun was shocked: "Your Highness!"

Thirty bowls of burning knives, even a strong general like Yun Huai may not be able to bear it, is Your Highness crazy!

Jiang Yun's black eyes were as calm as water jade, quietly gazing at the mighty flowing river, and said: "Send a message."

The prince's voice was not high, but he exuded an irreversible majesty. The soldier next to him saluted respectfully, and immediately strode forward, standing on the bow of the boat and shouting a message to the opposite side.

"Add chips?!"

Everyone was in an uproar, even Sui Heng was slightly surprised.

He thought that thirty bowls of burning knives and the smell of alcohol would make the hypocrite's legs weak, but he didn't expect that the other party would continue to pounce and act like a demon.

"I don't have any chips to add to him. Go ask, what does he want?"

Sui Heng spoke lazily.

The soldiers should be, and they also strode to the bow of the ship and questioned the opposite side.

Jiang Yunye was already standing behind the railing, and Su Bai stroked the surface of the wooden railing lightly with his fingers, saying: "If Gu can win two games in a row, within two years, the Sui army will not be allowed to cross the Yellow River and invade an inch of Jiang Country's land."

Fan Zhou and other counselors and a group of generals all showed surprise. They didn't expect Jiang Yun to propose such a condition.

Two years, what a precious time.

If Jiang Guo can really get two years to recuperate, there are too many things that can be done, the treasury can be richer, the soldiers and horses can be stronger, the problems of Yun and Luo can be completely solved, and the reclamation order of Muyun Pass may have a chance to be implemented , Jiang Guo's navy may have a chance to be built... In just a moment, more than a dozen problems to be solved passed through Fan Zhou's mind.

Even the little soldier who was in charge of delivering the message was slightly stunned, and then sent the prince's reply to the other side with a sonorous momentum.

There was another uproar on the opposite boat.

Sui Heng finally restrained his cynicism, and a sharp and cold look flashed across his eyes.

Standing behind Xu Qiao, Chen Qi, and other counselors and generals also frowned.

Now that Jiangjiang is suffering from internal and external troubles, it is the time to be out of breath. When the Yellow River freezes this winter, it will be the best time to go straight to Jiangguo.If he was given two years to catch his breath and recover, His Highness would not be able to send troops south the next winter at the earliest.

Although the prince of Jiang Guo is weak, he is full of tricks, who knows what tricks he will come up with.

However, today's important events such as the meeting between the princes of the two countries on the river, although they did not directly meet each other, it was another kind of war without gunpowder.

Every move of both sides will affect the authority and dignity of the country.

After all, it was His Highness who initiated the wine competition on his own initiative, and His Highness pressed forward step by step. If His Highness refuses the request of Prince Jiang Guo at this moment, it will inevitably be suspected of backtracking and retreating.

Moreover, the bargaining chip proposed by Prince Jiang Guo was very tricky and appropriate. He did not directly ask His Highness for the city, but just made a two-year agreement.

Emotionally and rationally, it is not too much.

Since the collapse of the Yan family, Sui Heng has not felt this kind of feeling of being manipulated for a long time.

Is this ugly monster crazy?

Sui Heng thought in his heart.

Thirty bowls of burnt knives, how dare he drink it, but he was sure that he would not agree to the two-year agreement, so he deliberately used this method to provoke him, trying to make him bow his head first.

What a cunning hypocrite.

Sui Heng thought.

Sui Heng suddenly thought of the arrow wound that had pierced his entire right arm, and the pain of bone cracking for a whole month, which he would never forget.At this moment, the dormant wolf nature, desire to conquer, and desire to fight in Sui Heng's body were once again rarely aroused.

Chen Qi said seriously: "Your Highness, this person is cunning and cunning, and he is best at intrigue and trickery. Your Highness must not agree to him easily."

Sui Heng raised his hand to stop him.

Then he called his soldiers, with serious eyes, and said: "Tell him, Gu is not a fool, it will be impossible in two years, next winter at the latest, Gu will definitely send his troops south to take Jiangdu."

"The premise is that he can really drink those thirty bowls of burnt knives and win Gu in the archery session."

"Otherwise, this winter will be the date of Jiang Rongyu's death."

Sui Heng breathed deeply, his voice was like a long howl, even without a message from his own soldiers, his cold and harsh voice clearly pierced through the mighty river and echoed on the surface of the river.

He is a majestic prince of the Sui Kingdom, not a coward who cannot afford to lose.

Since he brought up the wine fight, he will accompany him to the end.

He wants to see how this hypocrite is going to drink these thirty bowls of burning knives.

As soon as Sui Heng said this, everyone fell into a brief silence, including the common people who flocked to watch on both sides of the river.No one could have expected that today's meeting due to the ownership of the Luo Kingdom would have such a huge impact on the situation in Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

Thirty bowls of burning knives is not a small amount. For the first time, the people crowded on the south bank looked at the sick and weak prince in a golden satin robe with shock and surprise.

Next winter, if not two years, it will be close to a year and a half.

Can the crown prince, who was rumored to be weak and sickly, really be able to drink those thirty bowls of burning knives?

The river wind in March carried a slight salty smell. Jiang Yun stood on the railing, with his golden sleeves raised against the wind. After hearing Sui Heng's words, he calmly ordered the soldiers to set up tables and set up wine.

He imagined countless times that they would meet in battle. Even though they haven't actually met now, Jiang Yun has deeply felt the cruelty and ruthlessness of the princes of two hostile countries fighting in battle.

This is still without any personal grievances.

If personal grievances are mixed in, the situation will only be more cruel and complicated.

Jiang Yun lowered his eyes, retracted his gaze, and his eyelashes were stained with the unique tide on the river. He got up and walked to the front of the case, facing countless gazes on both sides of the bank, and Sui Heng's probing, ruthless gaze like a wolf. From the left, pick up the first bowl of Shaodao and drank it down in one gulp.

After drinking, he showed the empty bowl outward and threw it directly into the river.

Immediately after the second bowl, and the third bowl, Jiang Yun's face remained unchanged, and he drank ten bowls in a row.

He was as tall as jade, and his appearance was always elegant. Only Fan Zhou and others who were close could hear a faint cough once or twice.

"Your Highness!"

Fan Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Jiang Yun said it's okay, and started to drink the second row again.

On the opposite boat, Sui Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at this scene, he was very surprised.

Thinking, this ugly monster is really desperate.

He was willing to accompany him. After Jiang Yun drank ten bowls, he also drank the same amount easily, and it happened to be one more bowl than Jiang Yun.

"Boys, beat the drums and play elegant music."

"Today, I will have a drink with Rong and the prince."

His tone was still lazy, but there was a lot of inquiry and interest in his eyes.

This is the first time that Sui Heng has the urge to uncover the veil and see what kind of ugly appearance this ugly monster that he hates from the bottom of his heart looks like.

But it's just an impulse.

Intense and high-pitched, the dense rain of drums immediately vibrated on the surface of the river, mixed with melodious and melodious tunes.

This is a "Breaking Song".

All eyes were focused on the two figures, one gold and one black, whose colors collided fiercely.Amidst the intense, almost breathless drumbeat, empty wine bowls were thrown into the river one after another.

Invisible swords and swords collided between Jiang Feng and strong wine.

After an unknown period of time, the tune suddenly stopped, the drums stopped abruptly, and two black wine bowls carved with exquisite peony patterns were thrown into the river at the same time.

The two princes of Jiangnan and Jiangbei drank the last bowl of wine at the same time.

Jiang Yun stretched out his hand and held onto the railing, his jade knuckles turned white slightly, Sui Heng raised his brows, his eyes were sharp and solid, staring straight at Jiang Yun.

This ugly monster actually drank thirty bowls of burning knives, and the speed is not slow.

Sui Heng's heart was filled with deep surprise.

This surprise has even overshadowed his concern about the result.

The counselors and generals in Jiangbei were naturally surprised, but the most inconceivable ones were the rulers and celebrities of the Jiangnan countries.

You must know that in the past, at the Liushang Banquet, the rumored frail and sickly prince of the Jiang Kingdom, except for the necessary and irrevocable etiquette, almost did not drink alcohol at other times, and only drank tea.Now he actually drank [-] bowls of burning knives in public, and still stood up without falling down, which is simply unimaginable.Even ordinary generals who are strong and strong, if they burn such a large number of knives, they may also stagger and walk unsteadily.

The Northern Spirits prepared by the Sui Crown Prince himself could not be fake, and everyone couldn't help but began to wonder if the previous rumors about Jiang Guo's frail and sickly prince were all fake.

The prince of Jiang Guo should actually be a healthy and strong prince.It was only because he lived in seclusion and rarely showed his face in front of people that he spread rumors and was labeled weak.

After all, no one has seen with their own eyes how this prince is weak and sick.How could a frail and sickly person fall from such a high cliff without falling to his death, and how could he drink thirty bowls of burnt knives in one go.

Jiang Yun is indeed okay, because he has actually used his internal strength to melt part of the alcohol, but it is not that good, because burning knives is a strong wine after all, which is extremely unfriendly to the stomach.

Fan Zhou was the first to serve some wine and soup. Jiang Yun drank some and sat down on the bow of the boat.

The wind from the river was rustling, the tide was blowing, and cloudy clouds suddenly piled up in the sky, which was a sign that it was going to rain again.There was a faint sound of thunder coming from the depths of the stratus clouds, just like the tense atmosphere on the river.

Jiang Yun coughed lightly, and the tail of her hair was also stained with a little dampness. She picked up the hangover soup and took another sip.

Sui Heng didn't say anything else, and asked someone to fetch the bow and arrow, and then ordered someone to put Luo Fengjun on the boat and throw him into the middle of the river ten feet away.

The Lord of the Luo Kingdom immediately knelt down in fright: "Your Highness, please let the boy go, he really doesn't know."

The Lord of Luo Kingdom saw killing intent in Sui Heng's eyes, he was afraid that Sui Heng would become angry, so he directly shot Luo Fengjun to death with an arrow.

Sui Heng ignored him.

Sui Heng formulated two competition rules for Jiang Yun to choose.

Shoot one thing from Luo Fengjun's body to make a lottery, whoever shoots it first wins. Second, shoot birds from the river, within a stick of incense, shoot ten arrows each, and whoever shoots down the most birds will be considered the winner.

Sui Heng also said that according to the previous agreement, Jiang Yun can let Jiang Yun shoot.

The expression of the Lord of the Luo Kingdom suddenly changed, and he immediately kneeled in front of Sui Heng and begged: "Your Highness, no, this is absolutely impossible."

The cold arrow has no eyes, and he can't see anything clearly at a distance of ten feet. If the prince of Jiang Kingdom is not good at archery and misses his aim, his son's life will be lost.Moreover, archery on the river, due to the influence of the river wind, is much more difficult and the probability of making mistakes is much higher than usual.The Lord of the Luo Kingdom was so anxious that tears fell from his eyes.

Seeing that Sui Heng was unmoved and his expression was indifferent, he faced south and kowtowed to Jiang Yun across the river, hoping that Jiang Yun would raise his hand and spare his dog's life, until blood flowed from his forehead.

Jiang Yun had vaguely guessed what Sui Heng was planning.

After drinking the hangover soup in a leisurely manner, he stretched out his sleeves and stood up, saying: "I only choose the second one."

"However, tell him that he is alone."

Jiang Yun directly asked Yun Huai to fetch nine arrows.

The thunder was louder, the clouds rolled, the sky quickly darkened, and tiny raindrops had already begun to fall.

The rain on the river comes as soon as it is said, and it is only a momentary effort from sunny to cloudy.

Jiang Yun took an arrow, stringed the arrow, bent the bow and set the arrow, raised his golden sleeves against the raindrops, and slowly aimed the arrow at one place.

The black arched body is in sharp contrast with the slender fingers like jade.

In the next moment, the arrow shot out of the sky like a star, piercing through the wind and rain curtain of the river, making a piercing and sharp whistle, and sinking into the depths of the stratus clouds.

A mournful crane cry followed immediately.

If the appearance is ignored, the picture of the golden-clothed prince standing upright holding a strong bow is really like a fairy in the clouds.

The onlookers watched this scene in astonishment, feeling their hearts were in their throats, but before the prey could be seen, another sharp arrow, with a sharper sound, went up against the wind and pierced straight through. The tail of the previous arrow shot out.

The previous arrow shattered in an instant.

Sui Heng put away his bow lazily, and said with a flat smile: "I'm dazzled for a while, don't take it for granted."

"It just doesn't count."

Although he was smiling, the coldness in his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate human bones, and Jiang Yun was the object he penetrated and gnawed.

The technique and momentum of that arrow just now were so familiar, that the bones in Sui Heng's right arm began to ache again.

It turned out that the person who was shot last year was not a strategist at all, but this hypocrite.This hypocrite is really hiding something deep enough to give him a "surprise".

Then have fun.

Sui Heng thought with gloomy eyes.

After half a stick of incense passed, Sui Heng's eyes were dazzled countless times, and the arrows he shot followed Jiang Yun's arrows, so that all the birds that Jiang Yun hunted first were useless, and the number of prey captured by both of them was zero.

Fan Zhou scolded shamelessly.

Jiang Yun fired arrows as usual.

The clouds were overcast, the thunder was billowing, and the raindrops were getting thicker and denser. Soon there were no traces of birds on the river.

When the stick of incense was about to fill up, the arrows of the two happened to aim at a single flying bird passing between the two giant boats at the same time.

And it happened that there was only the last arrow left in the hands of the two of them.

Win or lose with one arrow.

Two ear-piercing screams sounded at the same time, and the two sharp arrows shot in opposite directions penetrated the bird's body at the same time, and then sank into the opponent's arrowhead at the same time, splitting the opponent's arrowhead into pieces.

Although the arrowheads were shattered, the bodies of the two arrows were still buzzing and rushing forward.

It's just that an arrow pointed at the hull and nailed the bird's body to the deck.

The other arrow screamed sharply, heading straight for the golden figure standing on the opposite bow.

Yun Huai was the closest to Jiang Yun, and immediately drew his sword to block, but the sharp arrow directly penetrated the body of his long sword at a terrifying speed, pierced through the screen, and sank deeply into Jiang Yun's arm.

A large piece of blood red immediately oozes through the golden sleeve.

Yun Huai ran forward, only to realize that it was not an ordinary arrow, but a black iron arrow.

"Your Highness!"

Headed by Fan Zhou, the rest of the crowd turned pale with shock.

Jiang Yun could still bear it, saying nothing, and ordered the soldiers: "Go get the prey."

"This lunatic, from the very beginning, his target was not the prey, but His Highness!"

Fan Zhou had already guessed that Sui Heng might take the opportunity to avenge that arrow, but he didn't expect him to use such a blatant way.

The heavy rain finally poured down.

Looking at the busy group of people on the opposite boat, and Jiang Yun standing calmly at the bow of the boat, Sui Heng's eyes narrowed suddenly.

Just now he actually gave Jiang Yun a choice.

He didn't expect that Jiang Yun would rather take an arrow from him in order to get the prey.

Once again he misjudged the hypocrite, ugly as hell.

If Wu Wu was not surprised and annoyed at all, it must be a fake, but it would not be in vain wasting a good arrow to let this hypocrite experience the pain of cracking bones for a whole month.

"Your Highness."

Xu Qiao was a little worried about Sui Heng's state.

They didn't expect that Jiang Rongyu, who is famous for being sick and weak, really hides such a powerful archery skill. Combined with the other party's behavior of drinking thirty bowls of burning knives, Xu Qiao has sufficient reasons to suspect that the weak one before Said, mostly false.He even felt that the other party might be a heroic, strong man with green face and fangs.

His Highness has been crazy in his actions recently, although he has avenged his revenge, but after all, he lost the archery competition, and he lost to the most hated Jiang Rongyu.

Sui Heng said indifferently: "I'm fine."

"It's just a Luo country. If you can throw it away today, you can get it back tomorrow."

When we meet next time, he will definitely let this hypocrite die without a place to bury him.

Oh, of course, it would be even better if he could be killed by this arrow.

Xu Qiao naturally also understands that most of the countries and lands in the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River have fallen into the territory of the Sui Kingdom, and even the Qi Kingdom, which dominates the east, has chosen to make friends with the Sui Kingdom. A Luo Kingdom really cannot influence the overall situation.

Sui Heng's willingness to agree to the two-year agreement proposed by Jiang Yun was mostly out of the mentality of the cat playing with the mouse.

It's just that Xu Qiao had a lot of different thoughts about Jiang Rong and this person. He couldn't help asking Chen Qi: "Mr. Chen doesn't know, does Jiang Rong and this person still hide such a powerful ability?"

Because according to what Chen Qi said before, this Jiang Rongyu has no talent or virtue, and all the talents that have been handed down to the world are fakes, but skills like archery that require countless days and nights of hard work, this person is like this Outstanding, is it really as rumored, a mediocre talent with no merit?

Chen Qi didn't speak for a while, because Chen Qi was also shocked in his heart.

The people still waited for the news by the river in the rain. When the people on the south bank heard that the prince of Jiang Guo had won the archery competition, the crowd cheered like thunder and bowed down in the direction of Jiang Guo's boat.

Jiang Yun insisted on standing on the bow of the boat, waiting for the giant boat to dock.

The common people couldn't see the bloodstains flowing on the prince's arm, they only saw the figure of the prince standing tall and shining with golden sleeves under the dim rain.

For the first time, they realized that their prince not only has good virtues worthy of praise, but also has hidden and amazing talents.

The spring tide brings rain, and the emperor returns.
