Chapter 294: Accept the Defeat

After the words fell, the whole army fell silent.

The confidant general behind him frowned and said anxiously: "My lord, you must not do this!"

How can the prince, with his wealth and body, easily take risks?

Almost everyone in the world knows that the Regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty is a legend on the battlefield. He led the army to go on an expedition at the age of fourteen. Even the Northern Xinjiang cavalry, which was considered brutal and tough at that time, was defeated by him. This shows that his strength is extraordinary.

Although the prince is diligent in martial arts training on weekdays, he has no trouble arranging troops and formations, and his marksmanship makes people feel inferior, but against the regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no one can predict the success or failure.

If it's an ordinary sparring match, that's it. Winning or losing is just a matter of face, but if it's at the expense of military law, it's undoubtedly frightening.

If...if we really lose, the Eighty-Year Army Stick will kill us.

"How can a man go back on his word even if he keeps his promise?" Xuanyuan Yao said in a cold tone, "You don't have to worry. If I lose today and receive the eighty-armed staff, it means that my skills are inferior to others. It has nothing to do with anyone. You are not allowed to do it for this reason. Provoke a hostile melee between the two armies, do you hear me clearly?"

The expressions of all the soldiers behind him changed dramatically: "Your Majesty!"

Xuanyuan Yao's tone suddenly turned cold: "Did you hear that?!"

The soldiers were stunned and all responded: "Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, the two opposing armies retreated in an orderly manner like a tide, leaving a spacious place for Xuanyuan Yao and Rong Yu to compete.

The school grounds were solemn and solemn, full of thunderous atmosphere.

Rong Yu wore a black gold-woven brocade robe and sat on a maroon horse. His face was dignified and cold, and Zhou Sheng exuded a natural nobility.

Xuanyuan Yao was dressed in a white robe, sitting on the back of a white horse without saying a word, holding the rein in his left hand and a gun in his right hand. His handsome face was as straight as jade, and he had a somewhat aloof and rebellious air from the corners of his slightly raised eyes.

Two tall war horses faced each other in silence.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

The sound of gongs and drums sounded, and the atmosphere on the school grounds suddenly became solemn and tense, and the air was filled with an intimidating atmosphere that was about to explode.

Suddenly there was a neighing sound!

The hearts of all the soldiers were shaken, and their eyes were fixed on the two horses and two coaches on the school field for a moment, for fear of missing any wonderful moment.

The white horse took the lead and raised its hooves, rushing towards Rong Yu like lightning. The spear in the hand of the young man in white robes emitted a sharp light in everyone's sight, as if it was carrying a thunderous wind, and rushed towards Rong Yu fiercely. Yu attacked and left!

Bang!

Rong Yu leaned aside and suddenly raised the reins. The horse under him neighed and turned around. The sharp sword at his waist was unsheathed. The sparks from the clash between the sword and the spear made people feel chilly. The force of the weapons striking each other was shocking. Xuanyuan Yao's tiger's mouth was numb, and the spear almost came out of his hand. He quickly grasped the barrel of the gun and rode back.

Rong Yu drew his sword and turned around. Without waiting for Xuanyuan Yao to react, the long sword like a dragon rushed towards the young man in white at lightning speed. The frost was as cold as snow, the sword was like a white rainbow, and there were cold rays of light, as bright as a sword. , the speed was so fast that it was almost blinding. The cold sword energy mixed with the strong wind like scraping bones, brushed across the cheek and caused waves of pain like daggers.

The young man in white robe suddenly raised his gun to respond, but his moves were already embarrassing.

The dark pupils raised slightly, facing those clear eyes.

The young man in white was slightly shocked, and a sharp numb pain came from the tiger's mouth. The spear came out of his hand. He grabbed the reins urgently to prevent himself from being thrown off the horse.

The spear fell to the ground, and the victory or defeat was determined.

The so-called competition is more like a crushing competition in terms of strength. From start to finish, it only takes a moment.

There was a dead silence in the barracks.

The officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, led by Ling Fan, looked as usual and did not cheer for Rong Yu's victory. Obviously, such a result was expected by them.

Their prince had created the myth of being undefeated on the battlefield when he was a boy. How could anyone challenge him if he wanted to?

The competition is a competition of equal strength.

Today's competition was just an expected crushing defeat.

Compared with their calmness, the expressions on the faces of the Dongling soldiers were obviously not good-looking, especially those of the Huainan Army, all of whom had earth-colored faces and dull expressions, staring blankly at the scene in front of them.

Rong Yu said nothing and looked at the young man in white robe without saying a word.

Xuanyuan Yao seemed to be unfazed. He calmly turned over and dismounted, and said calmly: "My prince is willing to admit defeat and let the regent do whatever he wants."

It was as if the Huainan Army had woken up from a dream, and they all turned pale with shock: "You can't do that, Your Majesty!"

Xuanyuan Yao turned to look at the soldiers under his command, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you want me to break my promise and become a person who breaks my promise?"

The soldiers were speechless: "..."

Rong Yu raised his hand to signal.

A soldier in the army came over carrying a military staff.

The faces of the Dongling soldiers turned pale, and they had eighty military staffs... The Prince of Huainan followed his father to Beijing to report on his duties and meet the new crown prince to witness the coronation ceremony of Her Majesty the Queen. If he received the heavy responsibility of the military staff today, Huainan, who loves his son eagerly Will the king be angry?

How should the emperor explain this?

"Your Excellency, Prince Regent!" A general who was watching from the outside of the school grounds hurried over and bowed slightly, "Prince Yao came back to the capital with King Huainan to report on his duties. He was summoned. King Huainan was currently in the palace. I don’t know anything about what happened in the military camp. If the regent handles Prince Yao without authorization, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to explain to the emperor later, so please think twice.”

He was a general under Chu Hongyi. He didn't have to get involved in the affairs between Rong Yu and Xuanyuan Yao. It was the style of a military general to be willing to accept defeat. A general promised a large sum of money, and there was no room for people who were greedy for life and afraid of death in the military camp.

But Xuanyuan Yao's identity is so special that he has to be treated with caution.

Rong Yu looked down at him, his expression showed no joy or anger, and his voice was cold and cold: "Xuanyuan Yao, you say."

"This prince has just said that he is willing to accept the loss of the bet, why are you still talking here?" Xuanyuan Yao frowned and looked at the young general who came to plead with displeasure, "This prince doesn't often go back to Beijing, so I don't know your identity, but a man's words are as good as gold, and if you break your promise, how can you convince the public in the future?"

The general who was pleading didn't know what to do when he heard it, and he could only say in embarrassment: "If the King of Huainan is angry..."

Eighty military sticks are too heavy, and people feel scared just by hearing it.

If someone is beaten to a bad state, the King of Huainan will lose his beloved son and lose control of his rage. I'm afraid I don't know what he will do. Don't forget that Princess Feng has just returned to Dongling. If the King of Huainan turns against him because of this regent of the Great Zhou, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable.

"I will send someone to explain this matter to my father." Xuanyuan Yao said calmly, "Today I willingly made a bet with the Regent and will not vent my anger on others."

"But--"

Just at this moment, a loud voice sounded outside the military camp: "Princess Feng is here--"

The sound of the carriage came from far away, and all the soldiers in the military camp turned their heads and looked at the gorgeous carriage escorted by hundreds of imperial guards.
