Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 494
(4)

The martial and courageous Emperor Gao Huan of Qi never refused capable people and strangers to come to perform. For this reason, he did not hesitate to temporarily put aside the important affairs of the country and handed over all government affairs to Empress Gao, allowing Prince Gao Yang to assist the government and devote himself wholeheartedly On to the next "Imperial Martial Arts Tournament".

Prior to this, every official who was selected to participate in the competition had to accompany the warrior he recommended to enter the palace to face the saint. If the emperor felt that the warrior had no special qualities, he could not participate in the competition, and the official would not be able to participate in the future official career. Inevitably be treated coldly.

Very ruthless but realistic results.

After a whole day of selection, the remaining eight warriors are still waiting in the palace, namely: Mei Xinghe, a dancer raised by Mei Lin; "Breaking Bad" Yang Kang, the "Breaking Bad Master" Yang Kang, Qiao'er and Ling'er, the generals of the Huns under the Hussar General Murong An, Yu Chizhen, the inspector of the Dali Temple--finally, there are still people recommended by the Zhongwei General Bai Feng who have not yet decided whether to stay or not. .

In the evening, the emperor deliberately left the people recommended by the newly promoted Zhongwei General at the end, and had dinner with the visitors as if with ulterior motives, and also sent everyone away, leaving only the eunuch Mei Lin to serve around.

Bai Feng and Fu Wentao entered the palace to face the saint together, and they sat on the left and right.

I ate very lightly tonight.

There is only a spoonful of clear soup, a bowl of rice, and a few beets dotted in it. It must be difficult for martial arts practitioners who are used to big fish and meat.

"General Baifeng, where is the number one swordsman in the world you recommended?" Mei Lin stood beside the curtain where the emperor was, which was a small high platform with three steps.

Bai Feng said: "This is the one next to me."

Mei Lin teased: "I've never heard of the number one swordsman in the world with a broken arm? Your Majesty, such jokes are enough to deceive a child, but how can you deceive the king? General Baifeng regards the martial arts competition before the imperial court as a child's play, really absurd!"

Bai Feng spoke bluntly and retorted: "Yu Hengzi of the Taiping Dao is also physically handicapped and blind, but he draws his sword very fast and created his own 'Wuming Flying Sword'. Have you ever heard of his sword skills? Is it child's play?"

"Hmph! Yu Hengzi has been known for his outstanding swordsmanship for a long time, so I don't know what the person you recommend is capable of?" Mei Lin glared at Bai Feng, and the two confronted each other.

Bai Feng motioned for Fu Wentao to take off his shirt to reveal his arms and back, then greeted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please come and decide for yourself."

The emperor drank water, rinsed his mouth, and then wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief—there was a curtain so that others could only peek at his movements but not his expressions.

"Since it was proposed by General Baifeng, I must not take it lightly." After hearing this, Mei Lin stepped forward to lift the curtain and bowed to invite the emperor out.

Gao Huan came to Fu Wentao and looked at him sternly.

Fu Wentao's body is unusually strong, and his long-term and rigorous training has made his muscles as hard as stones. Whether it is arms, chest, or psoas muscles, they have all been forged and beaten like a unique weapon or armor—— This intuitive feeling was enough to impress the emperor.

There are still such strong people in the world?

Gao Huan walked slowly behind Fu Wentao, completely shocked by the man in front of him, and couldn't help saying, "This...is this, the keel?"

The scene the emperor saw was due to Fu Wentao's non-stop exercise for a year. The "forging" that exceeded the body's load seemed to have caused strange changes in his body - he was obviously sitting upright with his chest up However, his spine has become particularly prominent, the muscles on both sides are tense, and his lean lines are astonishing.

Just like the legendary "keel".

"Natural vision!" Gao Huan said: "Fu Wentao, I look forward to your performance."

After saying that, the emperor went back behind the curtain, but after a while, a young servant hurriedly came to whisper to Mei Lin, and then Mei Lin's face turned pale, and he immediately told the matter to the emperor.

After Gao Huan heard about it, he suddenly spoke to Bai Feng: "General Bai Feng, just now Mr. Mei Xianggong reported that someone wanted to assassinate me at the Imperial Martial Arts Tournament, do you know about this?"

"Assassination?" Bai Feng said, "I really don't know, sir."

Mei Lin immediately reprimanded: "Bold! The assassin wrote the assassination on the bulletin and spread it around Jinyang. The people in the entire Jinyang City know it. How could you not know it? This is General Baifeng's duty. "

When it comes to responsibilities, Bai Feng sighs silently, speechless.

"Forget it, General Baifeng has been in the palace all day today, so it's normal not to know what's going on outside the palace." The emperor knew that he was about to be assassinated. Instead of being nervous or angry, the emperor was very calm.

"Tomorrow is the first day of the martial arts competition in front of the imperial court. Eight talented people with high martial arts skills will each draw lots and compete in groups of two. The competition will be held for three days. At that time, the imperial palace will open the Urn City, and all the people in Jinyang will come to watch the competition. "Mei Lin explained with emotion: "General Baifeng, if you can't find the assassin within three days or allow His Majesty to accidentally damage the dragon's body, you know what the consequences will be."

Bai Feng could only take orders.

It was night, and the eight fighters who participated in the Imperial Tournament were all assigned to live in the palace according to the usual practice, under centralized control. Before the break, the general of the central defender, Bai Feng, gathered them all in the hall.

"You all must have heard the rumors that there is an assassin who is going to assassinate the emperor at the Imperial Martial Arts Tournament." Bai Feng did not flatter, and directly explained the purpose of coming, saying: "If the assassin is among you, I hope he can come out and surrender now. Bai Feng will definitely play for him, His Majesty begging for a lighter sentence."

The eight warriors were self-confident about their high abilities, most of them cast cold eyes on Bai Feng, only Monk Juexin and Fu Wentao agreed.

Recalling that they were invited by Zhao Xiaomei to gather with Bai Feng in front of the Zhao family two days ago, they were deeply touched.

"Don't you all want to save Sister Murong from Taipingdao? I miss Sister Murong as much as you do."

"I propose to let Mr. Fu and Master Juexin both participate in the competition, wait for the opportunity to cause chaos, and let the guards in the palace take care of one thing and lose another. At that time, let Su Qing sneak into the palace and steal the 'Holy Maiden' back... Finally, I left Jinyang without anyone noticing. The plan will come true!"

"I heard that 'Xiangguo Temple' was also selected to participate in the martial arts competition. The Zhao family has a lot of friendship with Xiangguo Temple, so we can use it as a hindrance to let the abbot of 'Xiangguo Temple' recommend Master Juexin who lives in 'Golden Snake Temple'. Mr. Fu, Bai Feng The general recommends..."

The atmosphere in Xia Ye was cloudy, as if everyone was planning something in their hearts.

Shang Shuling's disciple Yang Kang is a Gu master of Hmong origin, exuding a gloomy aura; Taipingdao Yuhengzi and Yaoguangzi are a pair of siblings, because Yuhengzi is blind and unable to move, so they are always together, but The behavior between them is too ambiguous, obviously not just as simple as brother and sister; Qiaoer and Linger are not very proficient in Chinese, and they seem to not understand what Baifeng said, and they only care about playing; Sitting, serious face, eyes like torches.

Mei Xinghe dozed off comfortably, and asked: "General Baifeng, do you have anything else to say? I am really sleepy."

As a royal guard, Bai Feng knows that her mission and duty is to wipe out all threats for the royal family, and all those who are hostile to the royal family, rich or poor, high or low, are all enemies.

Very clear, no blur at all.

"Everyone should know that I am the son of a moth, and I am not from a noble family." Although Bai Feng looked at Mei Xinghe, he was talking to the eight warriors present: "That is to say, I am no different from you, if' That assassin' can now tell me the truth or the reason for the assassination, and I am willing to meet the emperor with you, and offer advice, so as to sweep away injustices and rectify injustices."

When identity and status do not match, Bai Feng is obviously more willing to choose the former.

However, this time, only Monk Juexin and Fu Wentao replied.

Bai Feng smiled, he was relieved.

"Since that's the case, rest here, everyone. Tomorrow, I ask you to dedicate your life's knowledge to the people of the world, and don't hide it."
