my wife is mulan

Belus was also annoyed, he got up and shouted: "A duel is a duel, you think I am afraid of you! Your Majesty, I hate bullying too much, I can't tolerate it, otherwise I will be ridiculed as a coward, please allow me We duel!"

Dongfang Chen, the national teacher, saw that Zhao Junsheng would not come to Taiwan, so he stood up and saluted quickly and said, "Your Majesty, since the two princes agree to a duel, why not let it go! It's just that it would be hurtful for the two princes to end in person, so it's better to let them fight each other. Send a samurai to take your place!"

When Zhao Junsheng heard this, he nodded: "This method is good! Belus, Wen He, I allow you to fight, but you can't end in person, you can only send a warrior to replace you! But I declare here that swords have no eyes , no matter what happens, even if one party is killed or injured in a duel, the winning party must not be held accountable!"

"Good!" the two princes agreed in unison.

Belus sent a Persian warrior named Diarus on the field, and Wen He sent a warrior named Tuba on the field.

Zhao Junsheng clapped his hands: "Come here, bring the weapon stand!"

Four soldiers came over carrying a weapon, and there were all kinds of weapons, even the weapons of the Western Roman Empire.

Diarus chose a Damascus scimitar, while the Naida warrior chose a scimitar from the Northern Prairie Cavalry.

The music stopped, everyone forgot to eat and drink, and looked at the two warriors, Wan Yutong got up and said to Zhao Junsheng: "I don't want to see bloody scenes, go to the back and have a rest first!"

"Okay! Come here, take Sui Yang Jun down to rest!"

Two eunuchs and a court lady took Wan Yutong away to the side hall next to them.

As soon as Wan Yutong left, Dialus and Tuba began to fight each other. The two swung their scimitars and slashed. The two watched with gusto, the more miserable the two warriors killed, the more excited they were.

"Dang", suddenly, Dialus's scimitar was slashed by Tuba, his face changed drastically, and he retreated to avoid it, but Tuba didn't give him a chance to breathe, and slashed over with several knives in a row. Diarus finally couldn't avoid being stabbed on the shoulder with a knife.

"Ah!", Diarus screamed and fell to the ground. Tuba rushed forward and slashed Diarus' neck with a knife before the others called to stop. Diarus twitched a few times and did not move. up.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Tuba bowed to Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan, and then to his master Wen He.

Wen He laughed loudly: "Hahaha... Well done Tuba, this prince will reward you heavily!"

Bruce's face was ugly, he got up angrily and shouted: "One more game!"

Zhao Junsheng said with a serious face: "Prince Belus, you have already lost! This is my banquet hall for entertaining distinguished guests, not your arena! I just said that no matter who is injured, you must not be held accountable. What do you think?" Against my authority?"

Chapter 851 Assassination in the Wilderness

Belus, who was originally angry, felt a strong coercion coming from Zhao Junsheng. He was shocked as if he had been poured with cold water. His anger disappeared instantly, and he quickly saluted Zhao Junsheng: "Dear Your Majesty, Belus offended your majesty, I was angered by him, I assure you that such a thing will not happen again, please forgive my mistake!"

Belus has already admitted his mistake, and he is also a Persian envoy and prince. Zhao Junsheng can't pursue it further, "Okay, I hope there will be no next time! Alright, everyone, the banquet will continue!"

The envoys from various countries sat down one after another, and the banquet hall resumed its lively scene.

Zhao Junsheng recruited court dancers and musicians, and ordered the dancers to dance with the accompaniment of the musicians.

The customs and customs of different places are different. For the Persians and other people, watching the dancers dancing in Chang'an City is quite exotic, and the envoys of various countries are also very interested.

In the second half of the banquet, the envoys from various countries were full of wine and food. Several people were lying on the table, and many of them were drunk.

Zhao Junsheng was about to announce the end of the banquet when Prince Wen He suddenly stood up and saluted Zhao Junsheng and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the prince of Persia came to Chang'an this time with more than a hundred undead cavalry known as Persia as guards. The cavalry is the Persian emperor's guard army. In its heyday, the number reached more than 1, and its combat effectiveness ranked first among all the Persian armies! It just so happened that my escort this time also had a hundred cavalry. The most powerful cavalry, and I also heard that His Majesty's army is also extremely powerful, so I want my cavalry to compete with the guard cavalry of Prince Belus and His Majesty's cavalry, and please allow me to do so referee!"

Zhao Junsheng was very upset, this Wen He always likes to make troubles, can't you have a good meal?

He looked at Belus: "Prince Belus, what do you mean?"

Bruce turned his head and replied: "If His Majesty's cavalry participates, I will also send people to participate!"

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a while, and said to the envoys: "My army is not a tool for people's entertainment, but a guardian who goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy and protect the people! Their weapons are usually out of their sheaths, and when they are out of their sheaths See blood! Therefore, don’t play the bad game of using force to entertain the public. If the two must compete, I suggest changing it to a polo competition. Each side has eleven knights, one of whom is guarding the goal, and the other ten are in charge. Defense and offense are limited to one hour, and the game will end when the time is up, whichever side scores more goals will win, and whoever scores fewer goals will lose! If the two of you agree, I will also send a polo team to participate!"

Belus looked at Wen He, "Do you dare to compare?"

"Afraid you won't make it? Huh!" After finishing speaking, Wen He turned to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, I agree!"

"Your Majesty, I agree!" Bellus also said.

At this time, the envoy of Silla stood up and asked, "May I ask your majesty, is there any reward for the winning polo team? If there is only a competition without a lottery, isn't it too boring, and the warriors participating will not have much enthusiasm. ?”

Zhao Junsheng looked at the envoys of Silla, and said with a smile: "The envoys of Silla are right! How about this, envoys from all countries can send polo teams to participate, and the top three, No.1 teams will be called If you are the champion, you will get a bonus of 2 guan, and each person will get a championship gold medal; the No.3 team will be called the runner-up, and you will get a bonus of [-] guan, and each will get a silver medal; The bonus is [-] guan, and each person will get a bronze medal! All the bonuses and the cost of making medals will be borne by the royal family, and the preparations for the event will also be handled by the royal family. The specific date of the competition will be held one month later, that is to say, everyone There is still one month to train the knights!"

"In addition, for the fairness and aesthetics of the competition, the horses, riding equipment, hats, clothing, boots, gloves, clubs, polo, etc. of all the knights participating in the competition are provided by Dagan Royal! But All the things you usually train can only be purchased by yourself, our royal family has a special store in Chang'an City to sell these things, you can go to buy them!"

The envoy of Silla immediately raised his hand: "Your Majesty, Silla will send a polo team to participate in the registration!"

Baekje's envoy also immediately raised his hand: "Baekje also signs up to send a team to participate!"

For a while, the envoys of various countries were not to be outdone, and they wanted to sign up to send teams to participate in the competition. People in the southwestern countries are not good at riding horses, but they don’t want to be isolated or looked down upon in this kind of event in Qianguo. Bite the bullet and sign up, as for whether they can get a ranking, they don't even dare to think about it, as long as they participate.

Zhao Junsheng was very happy, and said to the envoys of various countries: "Polo is a fierce and skilled sport. It has high requirements on riding skills, teamwork, and skills. If this polo match can be held successfully If so, I will hold such a competition every year in the future, and the countries represented by the envoys are welcome to actively participate!"

The envoys from various countries said one after another: "Definitely, definitely!"

Hua Mulan's face was full of smiles. Holding such an event can attract a lot of sponsorship, especially for an event held in the name of the royal family. Some well-known commercial firms in Daqian are eager to compete for the advertising space. After all, the event held by the royal family With enough influence, spending money to compete for advertising space can not only improve the reputation of the firm, but also drive the sales of goods.

After the banquet, as soon as the envoys of various countries returned to the embassy, ​​they began to select knights from the entourage, and sent people to the royal shops in the city to buy riding equipment, clothing, shoes and socks, clubs, polo, gloves, etc. series of things.

In order to train the knights' ball skills, riding skills, coordination and tactics, the envoys of various countries participating in the polo competition had to rent some venues inside and outside Chang'an City, and they did not share them with other teams, but only used them alone to prevent training time. Methods and tactics leaked.

The Persian polo team moved a bit slower. When they wanted to rent a suitable venue, there was no suitable and confidential location in Chang'an City, so they had to rent a relatively secluded venue in a nearby village outside the city.

In the evening, Belus left the team members to stay in the village, and he returned to the city with a dozen knights led by the captain of the guard, Shapur.

When passing through a pile of rocky hills, arrows suddenly shot out from the wormwood grass on both sides of the rocky hillocks, and the Persian knights on horseback were shot down one by one, even Belus was shot. He shot several arrows, and he was taken care of intensively. Other knights only shot one arrow, but he got three arrows.

"Protect Your Highness, quickly protect Your Highness!" Shapur brandished his scimitar and slashed several consecutive arrows. He jumped off his horse and stood in front of Bellus, who had already been shot and fell to the ground.

After several rounds of arrows were shot, the black-clothed assassins hidden in the wormwood came out one after another and rushed towards Shapur and Belus.

"Dangdangdang" a series of sounds of weapons clashing sounded.

At this moment, Belus got up enduring the severe pain, drew out the scimitar and fought with the assassins.

While resisting the attacks of the black-clothed assassins, Shapur turned around and shouted, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

"It's okay, a few arrows can't kill me!" Belus responded while fighting.

Some arrow-shooting Persian cavalry who were lying on the ground and mourning also got up one by one to join the battle group. It turned out that these Persian undead cavalry were all wearing heavy armor, and ordinary arrows could not penetrate their armor at all. Most of the arrows shot were stuck, only suffered some flesh injuries, and did not hurt vital parts.

After these Persian undead cavalrymen joined the battle group one by one, the black-clothed assassins who had the absolute upper hand at the beginning quickly became overwhelmed. Their swords slashed on the armor of these Persian undead cavalry. They could not hurt them at all, and the assassins were injured one after another.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the leading assassin was worried that everything would be damaged here, so he blew a loud whistle immediately, and the other black-clothed assassins quickly withdrew.

The Persian warriors wanted to chase after them, but they were stopped by Shapur: "Stop chasing, it's important to protect His Highness!"

The Persian warriors had no choice but to stop and guard Belus in the middle. Belus sat on the ground with some pain on his face, and Shapur squatted beside him: "Your Highness, are you injured? Take off your clothes!"

A Persian warrior pulled out a knife and tore off Belus's clothes. It turned out that Belus was wearing a soft armor. Just die.
