Chapter 325: A natural kendo master
Chapter 325: A natural kendo master
"Qi Bai, they are deliberately provoking you." Tang Yuhuai frowned and reminded.
"I know." Chu Xi said that she knew, but still responded to his request with a smile and said by the way.
"Since you can make a request, then I can as well. If I win, your people will have to withdraw from Xi'an and not attack again."
"How about it, Xiao Yang, do you agree?"
Xiao Yang Taiyuanjun's mouth twitched.
What the hell is Xiao Yang called?
The deputy general was worried that Xiao Yang Taiyuan would agree in a fit of anger, so he quickly reminded him, "Your Highness, you can't agree to this. We have already promised His Majesty before we came out that we must take Xi'an City in this battle!"
A huge army of 50,000 people went to the battlefield, but in the end they returned home without accomplishing anything. Wouldn't that make them a laughing stock to the whole world?
Xiao Yang Taiyuan's face was solemn. How could he not know the pros and cons of this? It was just that this... young man was so irritating. Every word he said was retorted by him and he didn't get any advantage.
I wanted to test the character and ability of this prince, but now that I have found out nothing, am I going to back off?
Chu Xi's eyes were calm, "What? Are you scared?"
These four simple words are clearly a conspiracy.
After all, little Yang Taiyuan was born into a royal family, and his pride was no less than Zhou Yichen. In fact, because there were very few royal heirs in Japan, he was almost praised to the sky.
Although his father was a prince and not the Emperor, the Emperor's sons were either dead or sick. Many people in Japan speculated that the only heir, the Crown Prince, was sickly and it was not known whether he could live to see adulthood.
Maybe the throne will eventually be passed to little Yang Taiyuan.
For this reason, Xiao Yang Taiyuan also thought so and was therefore extremely arrogant.
Besides, he was confident in his kendo. His swordsmanship had surpassed those of the masters who taught him kendo in the country. His master said that he had reached the ninth level of kendo and ordinary people were no match for him.
Before he went to the battle, he had heard of the reputation of this loyal and brave prince of the Marquisate. He was young and promising, and was both wise and brave before he even reached adulthood.
He is better than the old marquis back then and has an extraordinary talent for swordsmanship.
His sword skills make it impossible for others to deal with him. In another ten years or so, I am afraid that even his martial arts skills will be among the top in the Central Plains and he can be compared with those old seniors who are in their sixties.
It is a good thing to be arrogant, as it can motivate people to make progress.
But being too arrogant is a double-edged sword that hurts others as well as yourself.
Having heard so much praise for Chu Jiang from others, he felt that it might be exaggerated, so he refused to accept it and thought that since he was a few years older than Chu Jiang, he must be better than him.
It is you who should be famous throughout the world!
However, as a mere son of a marquis, whether he can inherit the marquisate is another matter. How can he be qualified to become famous?
Chu Xi saw the dissatisfaction in the eyes of the prince's son, but did not point it out, just smiled calmly.
She doesn't care whether she hits him or not.
Xiao Yang Taiyuan couldn't stand seeing Chu Xi look like that, as if he was afraid of him.
The pride in his heart prompted him to agree without thinking, "Okay, let's compete, who is afraid of who."
As soon as the deputy general next to him was about to say something to stop him, Xiao Yang Taiyuan had already agreed, making it difficult for him to dissuade him.
All he could do was to remind her, "Master, you are a noble man, you must not act arrogantly."
Once someone gets injured, those who fail to stop it in time will definitely be punished by the prince.
Tang Yuhuai frowned, "Are you really going to fight him?"
Chu Xi, "Nothing, just a competition."
Tang Yuhuai was not worried that Qi Bai would lose, but he simply felt that this man who claimed to be the son of the Japanese prince was unpleasant to the eye. He was too arrogant, as if everyone else was an ant in his eyes and not worth mentioning.
"The Japanese are always treacherous and cunning, and they go back on their words. Even if they win, they may not follow the rules of the bet."
Chu Xi curled her lips, "It's okay. If he doesn't do it, I will make sure that his reputation of not keeping his promise will spread throughout the world."
Then it won’t be you who will be infamous.
When Tang Yuhuai heard this, he knew that Qi Bai had already thought of a countermeasure, and couldn't help but smile, "Yes, I was worrying about nothing. With your intelligence and wit, you will definitely not suffer any loss."
Xiao Yang Taiyuan couldn't stand seeing Chu Xi's calm expression and confident look, so without waiting for them to finish speaking, he drew his sword and flew off his horse, slashing straight towards Chu Xi.
This short knife technique is somewhat restrained and not as flexible as a sword.
All of his moves were mainly based on chopping. Xiao Yang Taiyuan, who had extraordinary arm strength, obviously knew where his advantages lay, so he launched attacks again and again.
Chu Xi dodged lightly. Although she did not launch an active attack, from her dodging movements each time, it could be seen that no matter how frequent Xiao Yang Taiyuan's attacks were, she was able to handle them with ease.
Tang Yuhuai was entangled by other Japanese soldiers and had no time to continue watching their fight.
Chu Xi countered every move with ease. Xiao Yang Taiyuan used almost 100% of his strength, but she was able to avoid it easily.
"How come the grandson of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is such a coward who only knows how to hide?" Little Yang Taiyuan sneered at Chu Xi without stopping his hands.
"It turns out that the dignified Prince of a County also likes to be a gossiper." Chu Xi was not angry at his words, and fought back with ease.
Xiao Yang Taiyuan's face turned cold, "..." As expected, in front of Chu Jiang, he could never get any advantage.
He moved his hands more and more vigorously, attacking again and again, and his chopping movements seemed as if he was going to split open mountains and rivers.
Chu Xi dodged sideways.
Since we cannot compare in terms of arm strength, just avoid the opponent and use your strengths to attack his weaknesses.
Chu Xi's sword moves are light, effortless, and unpredictable.
Even if Xiao Yang Taiyuan can withstand one, two, seven or eight moves, he will always get tired.
The highest level of swordsmanship is to attack with incredible speed, making it impossible to defend against.
Obviously, Xiao Yang Taiyuan is a very arrogant person, and the easiest mistake a person of this kind makes is to underestimate his opponents.
Remember that people who seem easy to deal with can often catch people by surprise.
Chu Xi is actually a woman who has been disguised as a man for many years. Even though he has extraordinary martial arts skills, most people would never associate him with a woman.
Most men in the Central Plains are more handsome than women. In Xiao Yang Taiyuan's eyes, Chu Xi is a man who looks like a woman, with a slender figure, and it seems that he can't withstand his sword at all.
However, the reality was beyond his expectations. Although Chu Xi was a teenager, he had a slender figure and even weaker arms, as if they could be broken with a little force.
But when such a person makes a move, it is a quick move that he cannot resist.
Her sword seemed to be everywhere, left and right, front and back, and above everything else. Her moves were incredibly fast, so fast that he felt overwhelmed.
When even responding becomes extremely difficult, let alone taking the initiative.
The Japanese deputy general who was watching the battle from behind frowned and clenched the reins tightly. "Your Highness is good in everything except that he is too proud and refuses to bow his head."
Since he was a child, people around him praised him for his extraordinary talent and said he was a natural kendo master.
As time goes by, he can no longer tolerate any words of disobedience.
We must remember that there are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people.
