In the recent confrontation, although he was unsure of the details, he clearly recognized Liu Fang’s tactics.
Moreover, they had just lost a match in front of everyone, and it would be disgraceful to continue to entangle.
Even if they, as barbarians, were uncivilized and uneducated, they still knew to maintain their proper dignity in the capitals of other nations and in front of envoys from other nations.
However, if he was scared off by Liu Fang’s few words, it would be an immense loss of face for them as well!
Tuoba Gangyou forced a smile and said, “The Crown Prince of Dayan Kingdom’s words are a bit excessive. Miss Liu has underestimated our warriors. Although our army has been defeated, we still have brave warriors who are not afraid of might and are willing to experience Miss Liu’s strength!”
Upon seeing this, Emperor Yanqing calmly sat back and watched the spectacle unfold, allowing Liu Fang to make her own decision.
Everyone in the hall was looking at Liu Fang, wanting to see whether she would agree.
Liu Fang had expected this. She smiled calmly and said, “In that case, I won’t refuse. However, I must say, your warriors are truly too weak. I won’t use my strength to bully the weak. I’ll have my deputy engage with your warriors, so they can gain some experience”
Tuoba Gangyou said with a cold expression, “Miss Liu, are you afraid? Do you want to let your subordinates take the lead and deal with me casually? This is not how a hero like you should behave!”
Liu Fang smiled and waved her right hand. The wine glass in her hand flew into the air like lightning, brushing against Tuoba Gangyou’s forehead and flew directly into one of the golden pillars in the hall. a loud “bang,” a long crack appeared in the middle of the entire golden pillar.
This move shocked everyone in the hall: Σ⊙▃⊙川
Is it possible that such incredible skill exists in this world
Tuoba Gangyou was even more: ⊙﹏⊙∥
He touched his scalp that had been scraped by the edge of the wine glass. Blood had already begun to seep out. The bright red blood on his fingers told him that he’d better not say another word, otherwise Liu Fang would definitely be capable of doing something like killing him, the envoy, in public!
Emperor Yanqing was also startled by Liu Fang’s move, causing his hand to shake. He nearly dropped the wine glass in his hand, and the wine spilled.
The eunuch silently wiped his hands clean, took the wine glass from his hand and put it down gently, then stepped back, not daring to speak at that moment.
Emperor Yanqing never expected Liu Fang to possess such terrifying martial prowess!
This made him increasingly wary, and at the same time, he was also afraid. If one day Liu Fang found him displeasing, she could easily rebel and crush him with just a finger.
Such a person was truly terrifying!
Suddenly, he felt a surge of murderous intent toward Liu Fang. Such a person must not be allowed to live!
Princess Zhaoyang of Zhen Kingdom excitedly pulled Prince Yang’s arm and tried her best to keep her voice down as she said, “Wow, she is so amazing! That was a wine glass, right? Just like the ones we use, isn’t it?”
Prince Yang was also extremely shocked. He nodded blankly and murmured, “Yes, it’s the same wine glass as ours.”
The crown prince of Cheng Kingdom, Jin Manshan also picked up his wine glass and examined it. A top-quality white jade cup, worth a fortune, but the cup was very thin and fragile. It could easily break with just a little pressure.
How could it possibly have shot straight into the golden pillar of the hall? And it even cracked the pillar?
Was this sure it’s not them dreaming? Or that we’re not just seeing things because we’ve drunk?
It was important to note that the golden pillars in the hall, although not made of pure gold, were made of extremely hard wood that wouldn’t rot or deform for hundreds of years.
It was the people of Cheng Kingdom who helped escort the materials into the capital, so Jin Manshan knew very well how hard the golden pillars of the hall were, almost as strong as iron.
And now, in front of everyone, Liu Fang had actually used a thin, fragile jade cup to not only shoot through the golden pillar but also crack it!
This was truly unbelievable!
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it!
The envoys from Qu Kingdom, after the initial shock, began to show excitement on their faces. What a rare master!
They definitely wanted to experience her skills!
The envoys of Ling Kingdom acted like they were witnessing one of their own, with expressions of amazement and even a hint of pride. Their new emperor truly had an eye for talent. They must win over such a talent and make her a Ling citizen!
Anyway, given the temperament of the Dayan emperor, it was impossible for him to treat Liu Fang sincerely. Why not come to Ling Kingdom and enjoy the sincere admiration and respect from the people of Ling Kingdom?
That would be the true honor she deserves.
Crown Prince Murong Zhuo had never expected Liu Fang’s martial prowess to have reached such an extraordinary level.
After being shocked, he laughed: This is getting more and more interesting!
The second prince, Murong Yue, was also taken aback. He looked at the jade cup firmly embedded in the golden pillar, then looked at the jade cup in his hand. With a slight exertion, he heard a “crack,” and his cup shattered just like that.
Murong Yue: …
So——everything that just happened was real.
He looked up at Liu Fang and a smile slowly appeared on his face: Interesting, it’s really interesting!
For a moment, everyone in the hall looked as if they had seen a ghost, their expressions filled with disbelief
At the same time, everyone fell silent. Even Princess Zhaoyang, Jin Manshan and others became quiet. They dared not make a sound and looked at Liu Fang with expressions of excitement.
Liu Fang calmly looked at Tuoba Gangyou, with a smile on her face, and slowly said: “Your Excellency, what do you think? Do you still think that I am afraid?”
Everyone in the hall: …
Tuoba Gangyou: …
What else could he say? What else could he dare to say? He certainly didn’t really want to die here.
Tuoba Gangyou was completely shocked by Liu Fang. At the same time, he knew that their next plan would also fail.
How could Liu Fang’s martial skills be so exceptional? Where did this monster come from?
Tuoba Gangyou was extremely depressed, but he still had to maintain the dignity of a national envoy. Even though he knew he had lost face, he still forced a smile and said to Liu Fang: “Your Highness, you speak too highly of me. It’s me who has been disrespectful. As the princess said, our warriors are willing to spar with your people.”
Look, this was the barbarian’s inherent tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Everyone in the hall looked at Tuoba Gangyou’s display of arrogance followed by servility with disdain.
Liu Fang looked at Tuoba Gangyou with a faint smile, making him feel a prickling sensation on his scalp. She paid no attention to his change in how he addressed her.
The barbarians were servile and would behave themselves if you beat them until they were scared.
She took the jade cup that Bi Yan had offered again, it gently in her hand, and said with a calm expression, “Then let’s do it this way.”
Tuoba Gangyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly, then sat down. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the wound on his forehead, and then pressed it down to stop the bleeding.
He was genuinely afraid of Liu Fang now!
The others sitting behind him were still in a daze, unable to recover from what had just happened.
The person who was going to fight next breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not the heroine herself who was taking action. Otherwise, he might have ended up bleeding on the spot, his life in danger!
Liu Fang sat down and said calmly, “Zhong Yong.”
Zhong Yong, who was sitting behind her, immediately stood up, walked to her, knelt down and saluted, “Your subordinate is here.”
“Go ahead, just don’t kill him.”
“Yes.”
Everyone: …Hehe.
This command was really… better left unsaid.
Everyone was looking at Tuoba Gangyou and his group.
Even though Tuoba Gangyou’s face turned red with anger, he didn’t dare to say anything this time.
The members of the delegation behind him also hung their heads in silence, not having the confidence to confort Liu Fang anymore.
Zhong Yong stood up.
He took out the key, and the eunuch quickly brought over his iron box. He opened the box, took out his familiar spear, carefully assembled it, and then walked to the center of the hall, waiting for the warrior from the barbarians to come forward.
On Tuoba Gangyou’s side, an eunuch also brought over an iron chest containing weapons. The barbarian warrior Tuoba Kui also took out the key, opened the box, and took out his sword.
Tuoba Gangyou instructed him: “You must win!”
Tuoba Kui nodded solemnly and said confidently: “Your Highness, rest assured. I will definitely take that man’s head to avenge you and restore our nation’s honor!”
Tuoba Gangyou nodded with satisfaction, “Good.”
Tuoba Kui stepped forward with his large knife, bowed to Zhong Yong, and said, “I am Tuoba Kui, Please give me your guidance.”
Zhong Yong smiled, returned the gesture, and said, “I am honored. I am Zhong Yong, and I look forward to learning from your skills.”
The two men looked at each other and smiled coldly. Then, they took their stances, paused briefly, and began to wield their weapons, engaging in battle.
Zhong Yong’s spear technique was taught by Liu Fang herself, and combined with his natural talent, he had the potential to excel. However, he had been held back by his previous environment, which prevented him from fully developing his skills.
But after a month of intense training under Liu Fang’s rigorous guidance, along with the use of the medicinal concoctions she provided, his combat ability had improved tremendously!
His silver spear moved like a dragon, shifting and flowing with grace, as if it were a stream of clouds. The unpredictable techniques rendered Tuoba Kui’s attacks as ineffective as a cow sinking into the sea. He was caught off guard by Zhong Yong’s rapid changes in technique and became flustered.
Everyone felt that time was passing very quickly.
——Zhong Yong swung his silver spear and knocked Tuoba Kui’s knife away. Then he changed his stance and stabbed Tuoba Kui’s shoulder directly. Then he slid down the shaft of the silver spear and slapped his palm on Tuoba Kui’s chest, causing him to spit out blood and turn pale.
Zhong Yong pulled out his silver spear and flicked it, sending Tuoba Kui flying through the air, directly crashing toward Tuoba Gangyou and others.
Tuoba Gangyou and others quickly stood up and dodged. Tuoba Kui crashed into the table, shattering it. He fell to the ground, unconscious. There was a bloody hole on his shoulder, which was steadily oozing blood.
The ground was a mess, with wine and dishes scattered all over the floor, mixed with bright red blood.
Everyone looked over, with different expressions on their faces, but all eyes were on Tuoba Gangyou and his group. Their gazes filled with a subtle concern. This won’t work! It’s fine if they can’t beat the heroine, but they can’t even beat her subordinate?
That was just too embarrassing, wasn’t it?
Was this barbarian delegation here to entertain them? With this kind of strength, how dare you be so arrogant before?
Were they sure they weren’t here to deliver heads to Liu Fang? Were they certain they weren’t acting as stepping stones to boost her reputation even further after this?
Even Emperor Yanqing wondered if the barbarian delegation had secretly made some deal with Liu Fang, which was why they were putting on such a show at today’s banquet.
Otherwise, how could they possibly be so weak?
Only Murong Zhuo understood the situation. Tuoba Gangyou had never truly seen Liu Fang’s skills, let alone understood her, and also not very familiar with her subordinates.
What’s surprising about losing such an unprepared battle?
He smiled and looked at Tuoba Gangyou’s dark expression, which was so stiff that he could no longer maintain the dignity of his position.
Deserved it!
