The few Bohai warriors who were the first to climb onto the ring saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lying on the ground, with bright red blood flowing all around his body. His whole body was almost lying in blood, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not dead yet.
The body twitched uncontrollably.
This scene is truly bloody and tragic.
Qin Xiao didn't care at all that someone rushed up to him, and he slashed several times before stopping. However, the Bohai Warriors had already surrounded the entire arena.
Cui Shangyuan and Zhao Zhengyu had also entered the ring. They couldn't believe it when they saw Yuan Gai Wushuang, who was almost chopped into pieces, as if they were in a nightmare.
This is the youngest son of Mo Lizhi. He is deeply loved by Mo Lizhi and has high hopes for him. This time he followed the mission to the Tang Dynasty. He originally wanted His Highness to see the customs and customs of the Tang Dynasty and learn about it.
The geographical mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty.
But His Royal Highness, who was majestic and majestic not long ago, has now become a puddle of meat.
What's even more terrifying is that although Qin Xiao's fatal knife will definitely kill His Royal Highness, it is not like cutting the neck to make people die immediately, and they have to endure unimaginable pain before death.
Qin Xiao then made dozens of cuts. Although Yuan Gai Wushuang was cut to pieces, none of them was fatal.
Qin Xiao squatted beside Yuan Gai Wushuang, looked at his eyes that were gradually dimming, and said softly: "I told you, I will stab you to death. People of the Tang Dynasty keep their word and never lie."
"Your Majesty...!" Cui Shangyuan screamed and almost fainted when he saw Yuan Gai Wushuang's bloody appearance.
"Catch him, catch him!" Zhao Zhengyu, with eyes split open, pointed at Qin Xiao and said sternly: "He killed the prince, catch him, don't let him escape!"
The Bohai warriors were about to charge forward when they heard a sharp shout: "Who dares!"
Zhao Zhengyu heard a voice coming from behind. He turned around and looked over, only to find that it was the Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty. The setting up of the arena was prepared by the Bohai Mission, the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple. The setting up of the arena was all done by people sent by the Ministry of Rites.
Including the scribes present, they were also from the Ministry of Rites.
Although officials from Bohai were present during the competition in the ring, the Ministry of Rites also sent several officials, headed by the Minister of Rites. However, in the past few days, Datang had been defeated again and again. The officials of the Ministry of Rites had nothing to do with their appearance.
Not much to say, just sit and make soy sauce.
But now Qin Xiao is killing Yuan Gai Wushuang, but the Bohai people want to arrest Qin Xiao. The Minister of Rites is also an old man in the officialdom. He knows that the saint attaches great importance to Qin Shaoqing, and he only granted him a title two days ago, both in public and in private.
, at this time it was time for him to perform well, and said loudly: "The martial arts competition in the ring, there is a life and death contract first, life and death are at your own risk, who dares to arrest someone? Come on, whoever dares to act recklessly, capture it immediately!"
Those in charge of the surrounding order were people from the Wuwei Camp. During the competition, the Ministry of Rites specially asked the Wuwei Camp to dispatch people to maintain order. During this period, the Minister of Rites could indeed dispatch these officers and soldiers from the Wuwei Camp.
The Wuwei Battalion is responsible for guarding Kyoto, and they are all soldiers. These officers and soldiers have seen the masters of the Tang Dynasty lose again and again, and they feel useless. Now that Qin Xiao has killed Yuan Gai Wushuang, like the people outside the wooden fence, they feel proud and happy in their hearts.
Endless.
Seeing the Bohai warriors climbing onto the ring to capture Lord Qin, the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei camp were eager to try and stop the Bohai warriors. However, their duties lay in the fact that no one dared to act rashly without orders from above. The Minister of Rites gave an order and the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei camp were in the middle.
The captain in charge of the command took out his sword from its sheath and said loudly: "Your Majesty has an order. Anyone who dares to mess around will be captured immediately. Do you understand?"
Hundreds of elite soldiers from the armed guard camp no longer paid attention to the onlookers. They drew swords and spears, and immediately rushed to the ring. In just a moment, they surrounded the group of Bohai warriors in the middle.
Although the Bohai warriors surrounded Qin Xiao, they did not dare to step forward.
Qin Xiao's clothes were stained with blood. Although there was blood seeping out from his arms, there was even more blood spurted out when dozens of knives slashed Yuan Gai Wushuang's body. The blood stains on his face covered his delicate face. He stood up straight.
He looked down at the barely breathing Yuan Gai Wushuang at his feet, and smiled disdainfully: "It seems that the swordsmanship of the Tang Dynasty is still unattainable for you in the Bohai Sea."
Yuan Gai Wushuang's pupils dilated, and there was only a trace of thought in his eyes, as if he was still doubting whether all this was true.
This man was obviously going to die by his own sword, so how could he end up dying by his own sword?
And it was such a painful way to die.
Qin Xiao raised his head and looked at the setting sun. Yu Lei, who had been depressed in his heart for a long time, finally disappeared. With a smile on his face, he glanced around and said: "I just want you to understand that the land you are stepping on belongs to the Tang Dynasty."
, no one can insult Datang on the land of Datang, not before, not now, and not in the future!"
He walked forward slowly, but the two Bohai warriors blocking him couldn't help but get out of the way. Qin Xiao walked slowly to the edge of the ring and looked up. There was a sea of people under the stage, but there was silence. Everyone was watching.
Some of him even had tears in his eyes.
"My official is Qin Xiao, the young minister of Dali Temple!" Qin Xiao took a deep breath and said loudly: "Bohai Molizhi's son Yuan Gai Wushuang, after entering the capital, trapped and killed thirty-six innocent people, causing anger and resentment, and thirty-six wronged souls.
Someone needs to seek justice for them. Today, I am competing in the arena, not for personal vendettas, but for justice. The righteous are invincible. Those thirty-six undead souls can rest in peace!" After saying that, he put away the Golden Crow Sword, raised his hand to Tianyi, and
All the Tang people present, whether they were common people or officers and soldiers, could not help but follow Qin Xiao and bow in the same direction.
Chen Xun, who had been in the audience but had not yet left, had already stood up and looked at Qin Xiao on the stage. He was the only one who did not bow, but he bowed slightly to Qin Xiao, turned around and left without saying a word.
.
Among the crowd, a man with a white beard and a bamboo hat raised his hand and stroked his white beard. He looked at the upright young man on the stage and murmured: "The righteous are invincible. This sentence is not bad."
People know that Qin Shaoqing not only recovered the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, but also gave dignity to the thirty-six souls who died unjustly.
The country is people-oriented, and the dignity of the people is the dignity of the country!
Cui Shangyuan and Zhao Zhengyu had already knelt down beside Yuan Gai Wushuang, not caring that their robes were soaked in blood on the ground.
Yuan Gai Wushuang's eyes were still open, but he had no breath.
Die with your eyes open!
The two envoys knew very well that after Yuan Gai Wushuang died, their heads could not be saved either. Mo Lizhi's beloved son died in the Tang Dynasty. After Mo Lizhi got the news, he must be filled with grief and anger. As long as the envoys returned home,
Both men will be beheaded immediately.
"Sir Cui." The Minister of Rites also stepped onto the ring, walked to Cui Shangyuan, and expressed deep condolences: "The prince was defeated by Lord Qin, and was accidentally killed by Lord Qin. It is really a pity, please forgive me and obey!"
Cui Shangyuan was already in a state of despair. When he heard this, he suddenly raised his head, glared angrily, and said sternly: "Killed by mistake?" He pointed at the body of Yuan Gai Wushuang whose body was cut to pieces and said, "Do you call this a kill by mistake?"
Zhao Zhengyu also stood up, pointed at the Minister of Rites and said: "You must give me an explanation for the Great Bohai Kingdom. The prince came here for the friendship between the two countries on the order of our king, but now he was murdered by your officials of the Tang Dynasty in full view of the public.
, if we cannot give an explanation, our country, the Great Bohai Sea, will be filled with sorrow and anger."
"How should I explain it to you?" the Minister of Rites frowned and said: "This competition in the arena is the will of the saint. The Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple and your mission also discussed it before. There is no words for swords and guns. If there are casualties, others must not be involved.
You must bear the consequences at your own risk. Your prince injured more than a dozen people in the Tang Dynasty and killed one person, so what do you mean?"
Cui Shangyuan slowly stood up and said with a sneer: "We will seek justice from His Majesty the Great Emperor in this matter and will not argue with you." He ordered: "Someone will come and carry the Crown Prince back to the palace."
The Minister of Rites was furious when he saw Cui Shangyuan being so rude.
Cui Shangyuan was the right-hand person to discuss politics in Bohai, and his status was extremely high. However, in the eyes of the Minister of Rites, even if Cui Shangyuan was the Prime Minister of Bohai, he might not be higher than the Minister of the Tang Dynasty. He spoke so rudely to him, and he immediately said with a cold face:
"Whoever your envoy would like to find is at your discretion. The competition in the arena has ended. I apologize that I cannot accompany you." As soon as he handed over his hand and was about to leave, Cui Shangyuan stopped him and said: "Wait a minute!"
"What else does your Majesty have to do?"
"You can leave, but he can't leave!" Cui Shangyuan pointed at Qin Xiao: "He is a murderer. If he leaves, he will definitely abscond. Before His Majesty the Great Emperor decides on this matter, he must be under our care."
The Minister of Rites shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, I can't agree. I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I pay attention to fairness in everything I do. I am here to ensure the fairness of the competition in the ring. Winning or losing depends on strength, life and death are at your own risk, and everything is in accordance with the prior agreement.
Come and do it." He glanced at the angry Zhao Zhengyu beside him and chuckled: "Master Qin won. According to the agreement, your envoy should immediately come up with a hundred gold coins and two high-quality Bohai horses as a reward.
The winner's reward will be given to the Duke. As for whether you want to investigate the responsibility for killing the prince, the life and death contract is over there. Lord Qin has no responsibility. Even if he does have responsibility, it is not under the control of my Rites Department. You can go find it.
The Ministry of Punishment can also approach Dali Temple. By the way, the Lord is from Dali Temple. You can file a complaint to the Lord."
Cui Shangyuan and Zhao Zhengyu were startled and even more angry.
It is said that the Tang Dynasty was a state of etiquette. This man was the Minister of Rites, but what he said was so rogue. Do you want to sue Qin Xiao, an official of Dali Temple, for killing the prince?
The Minister of Rites smiled and said: "You two quickly sent people to prepare gold and horses. In full view of everyone, your envoys can't let your country bear the bad reputation of going back on your word, right? We in the Tang Dynasty are based on integrity and have always despised those who go back on their word.
The friendship between the two countries, please don't do anything that will disappoint everyone." He ignored the two Bohai envoys and walked up to Qin Xiao with a smile, cupped his hands, and saw that Qin Xiao's arm seemed to be bleeding, and said hurriedly
"Sir, your injury is serious and you are still bleeding. There is no need to delay. I will send someone to take you to see a doctor immediately."
"My lord, what's your surname?" Qin Xiao saw that the Minister of Rites was neither humble nor overbearing in front of Bohai people, so he admired him and asked.
"Minister of Rites Zhou Boxun!" The minister waved to the captain of the Wuwei camp in the audience, "You personally take people to send the lord to see the doctor. There will be no delay. If anyone stops the lord from going to the doctor for treatment...!" He looked around.
Looking at the glaring Bohai warriors, he said coldly: "Arrest immediately!"
ps: The climax is completed in one go. We are all people who want to show off our swords in front of Guan Gong. We are loyal and everyone can reciprocate!
