Chapter 83
Zhu Yuanzhang met with King Yan and Zhu Yunwen alone after the state banquet. He did not want to reward them with merits. Zhu Yuanzhang did this to ask why they agreed to compete.
"King Yan, why do you agree to this boring competition?"
"Father, these island people are too arrogant. You can't help but teach a lesson..."
"King of Yan, those are Japanese pirates, those are as cunning as foxes. Maybe you will suffer a loss..."
"Father, I will teach these islanders a lesson anyway..."
"Grandpa Emperor, I agree with Uncle Yan's suggestion. Not only will these island people be taught a lesson, but they will also be more presumptuous."
The King of Yan actually proposed to end the game in person. Originally, Zhu Yunwen wanted to end the game in person, but how could Zhu Yuanzhang do this for him? In the end, Zhao Fei replaced Zhu Yunwen's position to participate in the competition. As for the last competition, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Lu to fight.
The war had already spread to the streets before it even started, and finally it was spread to Concubine Xu of Peking. Concubine Xu almost fainted when she heard that the King of Yan was going to compete with the island people. She was so anxious that she actually rushed to the capital overnight. Concubine Xu went to dissuade the King of Yan and hoped that he would give up the competition. After all, what if the sword in the competition was hurt?
"Concubine Xu, no need to say anything more. What I have decided will not change..."
"Prince, those island people are not kind men and women. They will never come to compete with you openly..."
"Of course I know this, look at what I have prepared..."
The King of Yan actually took out the soft armor given by Zhu Yunwen and the golden silk gloves with the characteristics of military advisors. These things are first-class defensive weapons. The King of Yan possesses these things, which is like a tiger with wings. Even if these island countries use any tricks, they are not afraid of any evil tricks.
"Prince, you should be careful. This is the peace talisman I asked for from Wanfo Temple."
"Okay, I'll take it."
The couple, King Yan and Concubine Xu, have few true love in political marriages. They have been loving for more than twenty years, but the newlyweds are still as sweet as they are. In addition to true love, they are also inseparable from Concubine Xu's virtuousness.
The prince's mansion was very peaceful. Perhaps it was because the prince Zhu Yunwen had no participation in the competition. The concubines were leisurely and contented, and even played mahjong.
Li Huier thought for a while and said, "Sister, do you think that guy, King Yan, will he die at the hands of the island devil?"
"Sister Huier, you shouldn't say this. After all, King Yan was loyal to the country."
"Sister is right, now we always put the country first." Huang Ying added.
"Of course I know that the King of Yan did this to be loyal to the country, but as long as he died on the ring, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have no worries."
The girls were silent after hearing Li Huier's words. After all, as long as the King of Yan died at the hands of the islanders, no one could threaten Zhu Yunwen.
"You don't have to think like this..." Zhu Yunwen suddenly appeared behind them. He heard everything Li Huier said just now.
Li Huier said a little timidly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Hui'er, I know you are thinking about me, but in the face of national justice, what is my little profit..."
"Hui'er knew she was wrong..." Li Hui'er admitted her mistake with tears in her eyes.
Zhu Yunwen hugged her in his arms and said comfortingly: "Hui'er, the nation cannot be without a backbone. Think about the day the island country really entered the Ming Dynasty. If everyone was thinking about their own interests, would it be far from destroying the country?"
"this……"
"I have the same view as King Yan in this matter. You can't be arrogant to the island country. Even if there is any hatred between me and him, I will drive these island people out first."
This is Zhu Yunwen's attitude. He can put down his grudges with King Yan for the sake of national justice. His master knew that King Yan had the same idea. Although King Yan did not say it in person, his attitude was willing to make concessions for this matter, even if there were any grudges and then talk about them after they were dealt with. Zhu Yunwen is not worried about what would happen on the side of King Yan. What he is most worried about now is Zhao Fei. Although Zhao Fei is the strongest guard around him, his opponent's martial arts skills are not low at all. The cunning island people are not easy to deal with, not to mention that they will definitely not compete openly. If they are not dealt with carefully, they may capsize in the gutter.
"Zhao Fei, what do you think of those island warriors?"
"Your Highness, the three samurai are all masters who have been famous for a long time, especially Miyamoto Hanzo, who is a descendant of the island country's martial god and is very difficult to deal with."
"Zhao Fei, this Miyamoto Hanzo should be the opponent of the King of Yan. You don't have to pay attention to the situation of these two other people..."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the rest are Yagyu Zaemon and Ito Tohoewe..."
"What are they?"
"Yaoyu Zaemon is from the Yagyu family, a famous kendo artist in the island country. He seems to be the nephew of the head of the Yagyu family..."
"That's called Ito."
"This is a ninja, who belongs to the Ninja King level in the Iga sect."
"Zhao Fei, don't pay attention to this Yagyu Zaemon. You have to worry about it being the hidden weapon of this ninja."
Zhu Yunwen asked Zhao Fei to call Ito Shibuwei's hidden weapon. After all, this guy is very big against Zhao Fei. As for Li Lu's chance of playing, he is very slim. Even if he is against Yagyu Saemon, it is not a problem with Li Lu's skills.
Although Li Lu's kung fu has not reached the level of the King of Yan, he is only one step behind. This means that he has a chance of winning against anyone, let alone the weakest Yagyu Zuoemon. Zhu Yunwen must be sure that as long as Li Lu goes all out, it will not be a problem to kill Yagyu Zuoemon.
The King of Yan was also actively preparing for the battle. He even studied the martial arts skills of these opponents to see if these opponents had any famous skills.
"Mr. Wu, is this Miyamoto Hanzo really as powerful as the legendary one?"
"His Highness of the King of Yan, Miyamoto Hanzo is the leader of the young generation of the island country. Since his debut, he has gone through more than 900 battles and has not yet lost a hundred families. That's not to mention that he is very likely to become the war god of the island country like his ancestors."
"Martial God? This is simply a joke. I should write about what an unpaid defeat."
King Yan smiled and asked, "What is this guy's unique skill?"
"His unique skill is called the Illusion Sword. It is said that he will definitely see blood when he is unsheathed."
"Phantom Sword?"
When the King of Yan heard this name, his hands began to itch. This was the attack of the King of Yan's martial arts disease. I don't know why the King of Yan was already a little too anxious. He wanted to compete with the martial god of this island country as soon as possible.
