From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 122 Fighting
Yan Xiaoyi, 35 years old, is the commander-in-chief of the imperial palace and the only ninth-rank archer in the world.

The eldest princess's loyal subordinate.

Suddenly appeared here and stopped the transaction between Mao Qiwu and Haitang Duoduo!
This is not right!
Others may not know, but doesn’t Mao Qiwu know?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess are of the same mind!
Which side is Yan Xiaoyi from?

Well, no matter which side you are on, you can't delay His Highness's affairs.

Mao Qiwu narrowed his eyes, and murderous intent flickered on his fair face.

Haitang Duoduo on the opposite side laughed.

Yo, dog bites dog!

She didn't even need to take action, the people of Nanqing would start fighting among themselves.

However, Mao Qiwu only glanced at Yan Xiaoyi, then turned to Haitang Duoduo and said, "Continue the transaction."

As he spoke, he patted Lang Tao's back, and an invisible force pushed Lang Tao into the center of the delegation. At the same time, the fine gold shackles and chains on Lang Tao's body fell off at the same time. When Lang Tao landed on the ground, he was free from any restraints.

"call out--"

"boom"

As Mao Qiwu moved, the bowstring sounded again, followed by a sharp whistle.

But then a black spear came shooting out like lightning, nailing a black iron arrow firmly to the ground.

"Tianyi Dao Heart Method, a complete collection of Western magic." Mao Qiwu didn't care about what was happening behind him at all. He just looked at Haitang Duoduo with a light tone.

Haitang Duoduo took a deep breath, took out two books and threw them to Mao Qiwu.

Hand over the person and receive the goods at the same time. This was agreed upon in advance. Now that the person has returned, she will not go back on her word. Otherwise, it will not only lose face for Northern Qi, but also for Grandmaster Ku He.

"Both people and goods are cleared." Mao Qiwu didn't even look at the two books. He just put them away and floated away, ignoring the people confronting him behind him.

His mission was to make the deal. Now that the deal had been completed, he had to go back and report to His Highness immediately. There could not be any delay in doing what His Highness had instructed him to do. As for Yan Xiaoyi's madness and why he came to cause trouble for the Eastern Palace, Qin Yuan would take care of it himself.

He left, but left the mess to the Honglu Temple and the diplomatic corps.

It was also left to Qin Yuan.

"Qin Yuan, you are so brave."

Yan Xiaoyi's face was ashen beneath his iron helmet. He stared intently at Qin Yuan, who had appeared out of nowhere. "I am here to interrogate Lang Tao on the orders of His Majesty. How dare you disobey my orders?"

Qin Yuan raised his head, looked at Yan Xiaoyi, and smiled. "First, you said you were following an imperial order, but where's the evidence? Second, even if you were here by imperial order, why did you start shooting arrows right at the beginning? Couldn't you have just shouted that there was an imperial order? So, even if it's true, it has nothing to do with us. This is your dereliction of duty, so go and apologize."

"How brave!" Yan Xiaoyi's eyes opened wide, his whole body was full of vigor, he rushed forward from his horse, and the longbow in his hand turned into a black arc, heading straight for Qin Yuan.

“Dang, dang, dang—”

Qin Yuan's spear twisted like a coiled snake, and in a moment, it collided with the iron bow several times, one strike for one step, and he advanced nine steps in a row. Just one step more and Yan Xiaoyi would be forced into the black cavalry.

"Damn it!" Yan Xiaoyi cursed in his heart. He and Qin Yuan were the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the imperial palace respectively, but they did not have much interactions because Qin Yuan was also the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Palace Guards. He was in charge of the imperial guards inside the palace, but had no control over the Eastern Palace. Qin Yuan never interfered in matters concerning the guards outside the Eastern Palace. It could be said that the two of them had always kept their distance from each other.

So he only knew that Qin Yuan was the youngest ninth-grade master in the world, but he didn't expect that in just a few years, this kid's strength would grow to such an extent that he is now a powerful ninth-grade master, and his skills and martial arts are not inferior to his own.

If he had kept his distance, he might have had a chance, but he was forced into this small space and was actually at a disadvantage in the fight. He couldn't believe it.

What was most difficult for him to accept was that in public, in front of all his subordinates, he was forced to this point by Qin Yuan, a boy who had just turned 20. If he held his head high in front of his subordinates in the future, how would he have the face to lead the imperial guards?

A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he flipped the longbow in his hand, slamming it hard into Qin Yuan's spear, taking a heavy blow.

The collision of metal made a long sound, and Yan Xiaoyi took advantage of the blow to fly out. He suppressed the surging blood and energy in his body, gritted his teeth, waved his left hand, and drew his bow and arrow in mid-air.

The bowstring snapped like the sound of a cowhide drum being struck hard.

Three black rays of light shot out, heading straight for Qin Yuan from above, middle and below.

Then there was another loud bang, and three more arrows were shot out.

dang dang...

Qin Yuan frowned, and struck with the spear in his hand, blocking three iron arrows. He took a step back to meet the second wave of arrows, but at this moment, the third sound of bowstring was heard, and three more black lights shot out.

Nine-stroke continuous arrow!
"A trifle!" Qin Yuan spun, creating a tornado. The shaft of his spear curved like a full moon before suddenly straightening. Five arrows shattered with a blast of energy, but the sixth unexpectedly accelerated a second time in mid-air, its arrowhead glancing past the side of his neck, sending a shower of blood spraying down his spine.

"Yan Xiaoyi!" Qin Yuan roared like thunder, completely ignoring the wound on his neck. He thrust his spear straight, his body suddenly rising, a fierce burst of momentum. His right foot slammed into the ground, and the bluestone bricks shattered like a spiderweb beneath his feet. His body, like a swimming fish, dove through the shadows of the arrows at incredible angles. In a few flashes, he was already close to Yan Xiaoyi. His two-meter-long spear transformed into a black dragon, thrusting forward, the black tassel exploding into a misty afterimage, and went straight for Yan Xiaoyi's throat.

Yan Xiaoyi swung his longbow downwards, sparks flying as the bow arm collided with the spear shaft. Yan Xiaoyi's knuckles cracked, yet he seemed oblivious. He used the momentum to lean back, avoiding the sweeping force of the spear. The triangular arrow hidden between his fingers shone with a cold silver light, but he didn't draw the bow, instead hurling it with swift force.

call out!
The three arrows were fast and sharp, and the two men began to get close again. Seeing that Qin Yuan could not dodge, there was no way to avoid him. A ferocious cold light flashed in Yan Xiaoyi's eyes.

Dang Dang Dang!
All three arrows hit the target, but the imagined defeat was not discovered.

Taking advantage of Yan Xiaoyi's moment of surprise, Qin Yuan swept his spear across and hit Yan Xiaoyi's armor hard.

boom! !

Under the huge force, Yan Xiaoyi flew backwards and fell into the black cavalry formation, knocking over three black cavalrymen and falling to the ground. The blood in his body surged, like water from a lake, gushing out of his mouth.

"Hmph, what's the use of being an excellent archer? You don't even have a protective inner armor. How did you get by?" Qin Yuan took off the three iron arrows nailed to the armor as if nothing had happened, threw them on the ground, and looked disdainful.

"you……"

Seeing the golden light faintly visible under Qin Yuan's broken armor, Yan Xiaoyi's face turned pale with anger, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Wow…

Just now, two ninth-grade masters were fighting each other, and Yan Xiaoyi's black cavalry were unable to intervene. Now that Yan Xiaoyi was defeated and fainted, the black cavalry were shocked and immediately urged their horses to surround Qin Yuan.

"Why, do you want to fight?" Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows and raised the spear in his hand violently -

slam-la-

Another team of black cavalry rushed out, and the two sides were blocked on the long street and confronted each other.

The officials of the Honglu Temple, Haitang Duoduo, and even the envoys from Northern Qi were all stunned. They didn't understand what was going on. How could the palace guards of Nanqing start fighting among themselves in the blink of an eye?

"Master Qin, please don't make the mistake. Master Yan has indeed come here on orders from the emperor."

At this time, a captain of the imperial palace guards came out from the team and clasped his fists towards Qin Yuan.

"If there was an imperial decree, why didn't he tell me earlier? If he had said it right away, who would have started a fight? And how could there have been a fight? Without saying a word, he started the fight first and even shot arrows at my Eastern Palace attendants. Who gave him the courage? Could he really shoot at anyone in the Eastern Palace?" Qin Yuan sneered. "It's all Yan Xiaoyi's fault that things turned out this way. It has nothing to do with us in the Eastern Palace. No one should think of putting the blame on us."

"Uh--"

The captain's expression tightened, and he suddenly felt a little sorry for Yan Xiaoyi. He sighed, "I will report this matter to His Majesty truthfully. As for His Majesty's decision, it's beyond the ken of a mere guard captain like me to guess."

"Heh, you act as if you're the only one who can report to His Majesty. Let's go together." Qin Yuan shouldered his spear and patted his black armor. "I almost forgot. I'm also the deputy commander of the Imperial Palace Guards. When the commander is unable to perform his duties, I will naturally take over. You guys, take the commander back. I'll go to see His Majesty right away!"
