The cruel little princess

The Minister of Rites stood in the center of the hall and politely inquired, "Princess Fukang, have you chosen your candidate? Let's prepare for the second round of the martial arts test!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Sheng was about to stand up and go on stage to meet the people from the Golden Dragon Kingdom, but was stopped by Princess Fukang's eyes.

"Hu Sheng, you can go on stage in the third round. I have something to tell you." Princess Fukang waved at Hu Sheng, motioning him to come closer and talk.

"Princess, this second game..." Hu Sheng said with some embarrassment.

"No problem, I have other arrangements for the second game!" Princess Fukang said, turning to whisper a few words to her personal maid Manju, "Remember?" Princess Fukang looked at Manju majestically.

"Yes! I will obey the princess's orders!" Agate responded in a low voice and went down.

"Wait a moment, my guards are still outside the palace. The second session will be attended by my captain of the guards!" Princess Fukang nodded slightly to the Minister of Rites who was waiting in the center of the palace.

The Minister of Rites had no choice but to wait patiently. On the Jinlong Kingdom side, it was Zhao Qingyun, the leader of the Emperor's imperial guards, who stood up. On the Qinglong Kingdom side, it was Zhu Chang, the chief guard of Princess Fukang.

"Pig intestines?" Shen Youyou suddenly thought of the famous dish "Nine-turn Large Intestines" when she heard Zhu Chang's name! She couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing how happy she was, His Royal Highness Prince Jin leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Princess, have you thought of something interesting? Why are you so happy? Could you tell me about it and make me happy too?"

"Zhu Chang! I laughed when I heard his name..." Shen Youyou covered her mouth and whispered to His Royal Highness Prince Jin, "Didn't you make the connection? I just wonder if he's a pig's large intestine or a pig's small intestine? Haha!"

After Shen Youyou's guidance, His Royal Highness Prince Jin also silently raised the corners of his mouth.

Following the announcement from the guard at the palace gate, Zhu Chang, the chief guard of Princess Fukang of Qinglong Kingdom, requested a meeting.

The emperor waved his hand casually, signaling him to come in. Eunuch Xiao Xizi then loudly announced the decree, "Summon Zhu Chang, the chief guard of Princess Fukang of Qinglong Kingdom, to the audience!"

When Zhu Chang heard eunuch Xiao Xizi calling him into the hall, he straightened his clothes, pulled up his sleeves, and walked into the hall with big strides in high spirits.

Zhu Chang was seen wearing a green robe and holding an exquisite fan. He looked like a weak scholar, but in fact he was murderous.

He simply saluted the Emperor of the Golden Dragon Kingdom and then saluted his own princess. Then he stood in the center of the hall and confronted Zhao Qingyun.

As the chief guard of the Qinglong Kingdom's princess, he is not only a skilled warrior but also a meticulous thinker. He excels in the use of various hidden weapons, especially the dreaded meteor needle. Zhu Chang's fan is no ordinary item; hidden mechanisms within its ribs allow it to unleash deadly hidden weapons at any moment.

Zhao Qingyun in the Goodbye Hall stood tall and straight like a pine tree, and his black suit highlighted his calmness and determination.

He held tightly in his hand the long sword that had been with him for many years. The blade flashed with cold light, as if telling of his glorious past achievements.

His eyes were firm and sharp, revealing a fearless courage. Zhao Qingyun had diligently practiced swordsmanship since childhood, and his control of the blade had reached a state of mastery. Every swing of the blade carried a thunderous force, intimidating to the very sight of him.

The air around them seemed to freeze. Their eyes met, and a fierce spark instantly erupted. This duel was not just a battle of personal honor, but also a matter of the dignity of two countries.

With a command, the duel officially began. Zhao Qingyun launched the first attack. He flashed and rushed towards Zhu Chang like lightning. The long sword in his hand drew a beautiful arc in the air, slashing towards Zhu Chang with a whirring sound.

Zhu Chang remained calm, gently waving his fan, seemingly casually blocking Zhao Qingyun's attack. However, he was secretly surprised. Zhao Qingyun's strength was far beyond his imagination.

Zhao Qingyun's attack missed, but he wasn't discouraged. He quickly adjusted his stance and attacked again. This time, his sword skills were even more fierce, and the flashing blade was dazzling.

Zhu Changze, with his nimble movements, deftly dodged Zhao Qingyun's attacks. His fan, sometimes opening and sometimes closing, seemed to play a beautiful melody. However, behind these graceful movements lay a deadly danger.

The two men exchanged blows, and the battle entered a white-hot stage. Zhao Qingyun's swordsmanship became faster and more fierce, as if he was going to chop Zhu Chang down with his sword.

Zhu Chang was not to be outdone. He used the mechanism in his fan to launch various hidden weapons in an attempt to disrupt Zhao Qingyun's rhythm. However, Zhao Qingyun, with his keen insight and superb reaction speed, avoided Zhu Chang's hidden weapons time and time again.

At this moment, an evil idea came to Zhu Chang's mind, and he decided to use his trump card - the meteor needle.

He knew that this was a very dangerous hidden weapon, and if used improperly, it could bring serious consequences to him. However, in order to win the competition, he could no longer care about so much.

What's more, the princess's personal maid, Agate, had come to him just now and asked him to win this competition no matter what means he used.

Moreover, the princess had a special order, asking him to find the right time to teach Princess Jin of the Golden Dragon Kingdom an unforgettable lesson!

He dared not disobey the princess's order! After all, the lives of his family were all in the hands of Princess Fukang!

Princess Jin, although I don't know why the princess ordered her subordinates to kill you, you can only blame your bad luck. Who made you offend our Princess Fukang? Zhu Chang pondered secretly, looking for an opportunity.

Moreover, before the competition began, Zhu Chang took the time to glance at the women in the palace, and determined the location of Princess Jin Shen Youyou based on Manju's description of her clothing.

Zhu Chang quietly reached into his sleeve and grasped the meteor needle. He waited for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to Zhao Qingyun. He also wanted to teach Princess Jin a lesson by catching her off guard!

At this time, Zhao Qingyun was concentrating on attacking Zhu Chang and had no idea of ​​Zhu Chang's conspiracy.

Finally, the opportunity came. When Zhao Qingyun swung his sword at Zhu Chang again, Zhu Chang suddenly dodged to the side and swung the fan in his hand. The mechanism in the fan instantly opened, and dozens of meteor needles shot towards Zhao Qingyun like a rainstorm.

And three other meteor needles flew towards Shen Youyou!

It all happened so fast that people had no time to react.

However, Zhao Qingyun was not frightened by this sudden attack. With his years of combat experience and keen intuition, he instantly sensed the approaching danger.

Zhao Qingyun quickly held his long sword across his body and used his internal energy to form an invisible barrier in front of him. The meteor needles shot towards Zhao Qingyun hit the barrier and fell down one after another.

Shen Youyou was still watching the fight between Zhao Qingyun and Zhu Dachang alone, unaware of the approaching danger!

But His Royal Highness Prince Jin, who was sitting next to him, was different! He had extraordinary hearing ability. When he sensed the danger, he hugged his little princess tightly without changing his expression, and then quickly dipped his finger from the wine glass in front of him.

Prince Jin flicked his right finger lightly, and three crystal-clear wine beads, imbued with 100% internal energy and unnoticed by anyone, flew straight forward. In mid-air, invisible to others, they collided directly with the three oncoming meteor needles!

Strangely enough, those three meteor needles were blocked by those three drops of wine! Clearly the purest and softest wine, it was as hard as steel! They directly knocked the three meteor needles to the ground!

Zhu Chang was shocked to see that his hidden weapon was easily deflected by His Royal Highness Prince Jin and Zhao Qingyun. He knew that he was in a desperate situation. However, he did not give up. He decided to make a desperate move and launch another attack.

As for Princess Jin, the enemy has been alerted. Moreover, with the presence of a martial arts master with profound internal strength like His Royal Highness Prince Jin, Zhu Chang, who has already lost the initiative, cannot make another move!

One attack could be considered a miss, but two attacks were truly deliberate! Zhu Chang was a smart man and clearly understood this. Right now, all he could do was pin his hopes on defeating Zhao Qingyun!

Zhu Chang rushed towards Zhao Qingyun, waving his fan. He continuously fired various hidden weapons from his fan, trying to find Zhao Qingyun's flaws.

But Zhao Qingyun also saw the scene where Zhu Chang fired three meteor needles at Princess Jin Shen Youyou!

Who was Zhao Qingyun?! He was the leader of the Imperial Guard! He was the man who had shared life and death with Shen Youyou in Tongniu County! None of the Imperial Guards who had been there at the time had failed to admire the noble character of Princess Jin!

Zhao Qingyun was no exception! From the beginning, he simply respected the identity of Princess Jin, but later he truly admired Shen Youyou as a person! Regardless of status, regardless of gender, Shen Youyou was the god who saved them from life and death!
