Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Soon, the group arrived at the martial arts arena, and Emperor Zhu Shou, Cao Zhengchun, Zhu Wusi and Shangguan Haitang watched from the side.

Lin Fan and Gui Hai Yidao came to the center of the martial arts field.

Gui Hai Yidao stared at Lin Fan and said calmly, "Make your move!"

"Hero Gui Hai, be careful!"

Lin Fan was not polite either. He gave a reminder and instantly drew out the Embroidered Spring Sword from his waist. He slashed at Gui Hai as fast as lightning!

call out!

With a slash of the knife, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp sound!

At the same time, a cross of sword light suddenly appeared between Lin Fan and Gui Hai Yidao!

It was Lin Fan’s most proficient swordsmanship at the moment, the Extinction Cross Blade!

"What a quick knife!"

Shangguan Haitang, who was watching the fight from the side, couldn't help but look shocked and surprised when she saw Lin Fan draw his sword.

Shangguan Haitang felt that if she were to face Lin Fan's knife, she would not be able to take it at all!

Zhu Wusi also narrowed his eyes slightly, and an inexplicable color flashed in his eyes when he looked at Lin Fan.

As Lin Fan's opponent, Gui Hai Yidao had a calm expression. The long sword behind him was suddenly unsheathed, and a flash of extremely fast sword light slammed towards Lin Fan's Xiuchun Knife!

"Shhhhhh!"

Gui Hai Yidao just swung his sword once, and countless sword lights seemed to appear on the martial arts field in an instant, enveloping Lin Fan!

This knife strike is one of the unique skills mastered by Gui Hai Yidao, the Heartless Slash!

At the beginning, Gui Hai killed Pi Xiaotian, the big boss of the East Factory, with this very trick!

"when!"

The two swords collided, and a clear sound was heard!

Lin Fan held the Embroidered Spring Knife, and confronted the long knife in Gui Hai Yidao's hand. The true energy in his body circulated and gathered madly in his hands.

Gui Hai Yidao on the opposite side also performed the same operation.

The two of them just exchanged a few sword blows and then began to compete in martial arts skills.

"Dengdengdeng!"

After a while, the two were simultaneously knocked back by the recoil force, each taking three or four steps back and standing still.

"Come again!"

Gui Hai shouted loudly and swung his long sword, this time taking the initiative to attack Lin Fan.

Originally, he looked down on Lin Fan, but after a fight, Gui Hai Yidao regarded Lin Fan as an equally matched opponent!

Lin Fan naturally did not want to fall behind, so he swung the Embroidered Spring Knife and unleashed the Extinction Cross Knife. The flashing blade light was chilling!

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”

The sword lights gathered together, and in an instant, the sound of metal clashing could be heard on the training ground.

Shangguan Haitang watched the fierce fight between the two with a solemn expression, feeling inferior.

Cao Zhengchun's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, was it too arrogant for him to take the Jinyiwei seriously before?

Zhu Wusi's face was calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Emperor Zhu Shou had no idea how the two men fought. "Uncle, it looks like Lin Fan and Gui Hai Yidao are evenly matched, right?"

In Zhu Shou's eyes, he could only see two constantly flashing figures and the sky full of sword lights, and he couldn't tell who was who.

But since Lin Fan was able to hold on for so long and fought Gui Hai Yidao so effectively, he must be no weaker than the other party.

Zhu Wushi nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. Lord Lin and Yidao are indeed equally powerful. If we want to decide the winner, it will only end with one dead and one injured."

Zhu Shou's expression changed upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "Since that's the case, Uncle Emperor, quickly take action and separate them. Yidao and Lin Fan are both elite soldiers of the imperial court. How can we allow one of them to die just because of a duel?"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhu Wusi agreed, and his figure flashed, and in an instant he flew between Lin Fan and Gui Hai Yidao. He opened his two big hands at the same time and sent out a terrifying palm force towards Lin Fan and Gui Hai Yidao respectively!

"Your Majesty has decreed that this battle ends here!"

At the same time, Zhu Wushi also shouted loudly.

Lin Fan was fighting with Gui Hai Yidao, but when he sensed Zhu Wusi's terrifying palm power, his face changed.

He hurriedly retracted the Embroidered Spring Sword, and at the same time, he performed the Immortal Steps and quickly withdrew from the battle circle.

"Dengdengdeng!"

Despite this, Lin Fan was still affected by Zhu Wusi's palm power and retreated three steps in succession.

On the other side, Gui Hai Yidao's speed was not as fast as Lin Fan's, so he retreated seven or eight steps before he stabilized his body.

"Zhu Wusi's strength is truly terrifying!"

Lin Fan steadied himself, looked in the direction of Zhu Wusi, and sighed inwardly.

Gui Hai Yidao looked at Lin Fan, the fighting spirit in his eyes still not fading.

Zhu Wusi said calmly: "One knife, restrain yourself a little."

After hearing this, Gui Hai Yidao restrained his fighting spirit.

At this moment, Zhu Shou, who was in a high position, was all smiles, and said happily, "I didn't expect that Lin Fan could actually fight Yidao to a draw. I really didn't misjudge him."

"The person who will escort Princess Yunkang to the Kingdom of Song has been decided. What do you think, Uncle?"

Princess Yunkang is the eldest daughter of Emperor Zhu Shou and just turned sixteen this year.

Zhu Wusi clasped his fists and said, "Lord Lin is indeed extraordinary. I have no objection."

Lin Fan bowed and said, "I will do my best to protect the princess."

Zhu Shou nodded and continued, "Well, this time, in addition to the Jinyiwei, Haitang and Wuqing from the Shenhou Mansion will also be accompanying the princess. If anything happens along the way, the three of you can discuss and deal with it."

"I humble my duty and obey my decree!"

"Haitang obeys your order!"

Lin Fan and Haitang responded at the same time upon hearing this.

Zhu Shou waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's all go. We'll leave for Song State in two days. Lin Fan and Haitang can take a couple of days off to take care of their personal matters."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan and Haitang thanked him respectively.

Afterwards, everyone dispersed.

After leaving the palace, Haitang said to Lin Fan, "Master Lin, please take care of me on the way to Song State."

Lin Fan clasped his fists and responded, "It should be me, Lin, who is asking for the care of Shangguan Manor Master. I have something to ask, I wonder if it's appropriate to ask?"

Haitang smiled and said, "Master Lin, please speak frankly."

Lin Fan lowered his voice and asked, "Why would His Majesty and the court suddenly marry Princess Yunkang off to the Kingdom of Song?"

Haitang shook her head slightly and sighed, "The situation at the imperial court isn't very good right now. We're surrounded by foreign enemies, and the four great vassal states are secretly disobeying the imperial court."

"In comparison, among the four major vassal states, Song is relatively peaceful, while the other three even have the intention of usurping power. The court is doing this to further win over Song."

"So this wedding is a matter of great importance, and there must be no mistakes."

Lin Fan clasped his fists and said, "I understand. I will definitely do my best to complete this important task."

Afterwards, the two exchanged some pleasantries and then separated.

Lin Fan went to the Northern Pacification Office again and deployed a group of personnel. He also sent a letter to Jiang Bin, reporting on the mission to the Song State. Then he returned home to practice and wait for the time to set off.

Two days flew by.

Soon, the day arrived for the wedding procession to set out.

Lin Fan, along with a team of Jinyiwei, Shangguan Haitang and Wuqing, escorted Princess Yunkang out of Tai'an City and headed north.

Not long after, the group arrived in Wuxi, Song State.

That morning, after the team had breakfast and was about to continue on their journey, the princess's maid suddenly found Lin Fan and said, "Master Lin, the princess needs you to come over for something."

Lin Fan asked, "Did the princess say anything?"
