It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 694: Using Softness to Overcome Hardness and Destroy Prestige

How could Liu Yao not know what everyone was thinking? He wanted to use his body to block Yang Xianrong, but the woman actually looked up at him and smiled faintly.

It is truly a stunning glimpse that makes one's heart and soul intoxicated.

He and Yang Xianrong were wearing the same black robe. One of them was strong, while the other was gentle, yet they were so harmonious.

"It's okay. General Shi is not an outsider. He has a lot of connections with your father. I want to meet him." Yang Xianrong was very generous and did not act shy at all. She relied on Liu Ya's arms to jump down from the carriage. Her movements were very graceful and agile.

However, Yuan Jianshuo, Zhang Heng and Cui Xi also surrounded them, blocking everyone's view.

Shi Le frowned slightly, took two quick steps to the carriage, and laughed loudly, "It's my first time meeting my sister-in-law, and she is indeed stunning."

"General Shi." Yang Xianrong continued to smile, and there was no sign of panic on her face as if she had seen a stranger.

On the contrary, Shi Le was a little overwhelmed, and even a little nervous. He smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Okay, okay, my sister-in-law is tired."

"General Shi, you've worked hard on the journey." Yang Xianrong still had a smile on her face, but she had already held Liu Yao's hand and covered it with her wide sleeves. "General Shi has worked even harder to wait here. I heard from the emperor that you had agreed to discuss important matters in Jingzhou, and he wanted to come and see the excitement."

"Yeah, it's lively." Shi Le saw the smile between Yang Xianrong's eyebrows and eyes, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"But, wasn't there some big commotion going on just now that I didn't see?" Yang Xianrong's gaze had shifted to Liu Yue who was standing nearby, shirtless and looking very angry.

"Ah, about this, I'm not quite sure." Shi Le chuckled, and his general Shi Hu also followed over. They met Liu Yue's eyes, and there was anger on each of their faces.

"Liu Yue is a general of the Former Zhao. He has been traveling for the past few days and helped the people dredge the Jingsha River. He has consumed a lot of energy." Yang Xianrong had already heard about the martial arts competition, so she naturally spoke for her people. However, she changed the subject and suddenly asked, "General Shi Hu? Did you arrive in Jingzhou three days in advance? Did you buy the famous Xiongchu wine from Xiongchu Town?"

"Why bother buying it?" Shi Hu's voice was so loud that it hurt the eardrums of those who were close to him. "Just rob it!"

Yang Xianrong rubbed his ears, turned slightly towards Liu Yao, and asked him: "Your Majesty, you cannot drink the wine that was robbed."

"Why?" Liu Yao cooperated very well and looked down at her.

"Have you forgotten the story that Manager Zhang told Xiao Futian? He said that drinking the stolen wine would rot your intestines." Anyone could tell that Yang Xianrong was cursing in a roundabout way, but her smiling face made people hold their breath and not get angry.

Liu Yao also laughed and said softly, "Yes, but that's just a lie for kids. Don't believe it."

"Then I believe it too." Yang Xianrong actually had a bit of coquettishness in her expression, and Liu Yao couldn't help but touch her little face. Shi Hu, who was standing next to her, was already in a daze and was no longer angry.

"Well, I won't drink anymore." Liu Yao promised her seriously, "Then can I drink the wine you bought in Shuibian Town today? I want to have a drink with General Shi."

"This is fine." Yang Xianrong's smile got even bigger. "I bought this with real money. It tastes really good. General Shi, why not have a few more bowls."

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

How could Shi Le not know that the two of them were working together to bully him, but for the sake of this face, Shi Le could only endure it, and laughed and said, "My sister-in-law's wine is naturally good."

He also deliberately omitted the word "buy" in an attempt to flirt with Yang Xianrong, causing Liu Yao's displeasure. But Liu Yao's whole mind was on Yang Xianrong, and he paid no attention to Shi Le at all. However, Liu Yue on the side was still angry and very unconvinced.

Yang Xianrong quietly asked Liu Yao, "Your Majesty, didn't you just say that you have been traveling so fast that your muscles and bones are a little uncomfortable, and you want to relax for a while. Otherwise, why don't you also fight with General Shi Hu?"

"What nonsense? I am the emperor." Liu Yao raised his eyebrows.

"So what? The emperor is also a human being, he was promoted from a general, and he is also a soldier with flesh and blood, right?" She said this in a loud voice, and many people heard it. Because it was easy to understand, the soldiers on Shi Le's side were slightly moved. Although they did not dare to show anything, they all deeply believed that what Yang Xianrong said made sense.

Liu Yao touched Yang Xianrong's earlobe with his big hand before saying, "Third sister, do you want to see my body..."

The question was so ambiguous that Yang Xianrong couldn't help but punch him before saying, "I just want to watch you compete. If you win, how about I brew wine for you myself?"

"Okay!" Liu Yao didn't hesitate any longer and turned to Shi Hu and said, "General Shi, how about we have a competition?"

Before Shi Hu could speak, Shi Le had already taken a half step forward and said in a loud voice: "Brother Liu, how about a competition between you and me?"

According to their levels, the two of them should be rivals.

Liu Yao nodded, "Okay!"

Seeing the leaders of both sides preparing to fight, the soldiers were naturally excited and immediately stood in formation, clearing a large area outside the city of Jingzhou. Some quick soldiers even cleaned the dirt and rocks on the ground and planted the flags of both sides.

Liu Yao liked black, so his military flag had the word “尧” embroidered on a black background. Shi Le’s flag had the word “石” embroidered on a red background with white characters.

The two camps are clear and look pretty decent.

The two men also took off their outer clothes and were bare-chested.

Yang Xianrong tucked in Liu Yao's trouser legs and asked, "Don't fight too long. I'm hungry."

"Okay." Liu Yao couldn't help but laugh, his bright eyes filled with her image. "The winner will be decided in three rounds."

"Yeah." Yang Xianrong stepped back.

But Shi Le, who was standing nearby, heard this conversation and immediately became furious and competitive, thinking that he must defeat Liu Yao.

But the more you want something, the less likely it will happen.

Shi Leshi tried his best to grab Liu Yao's belt and throw him over his shoulder, making him look very embarrassed. But when he stretched out his hand to grab Liu Yao, he was dodged and was hit by a palm instead.

Shi Le's anger grew even stronger, and he wanted to attack Liu Yao's lower body directly, making him fall. But Liu Yao seemed to know his moves, and dodged very skillfully. Just when Shi Le was about to charge forward with all his strength, Liu Yao grabbed his belt and threw him over his shoulder with great force, throwing him three meters away, and lying on the ground.

Then, Liu Yao came to him again at an extremely fast speed, intending to punch him in the heart.
