Chapter 169 Uninvited guests
When he heard Li Bin's tone, he knew that Li Bin would not give up Zhu Yu and Ju Jing, the two powerful generals, the five princes and the people from various generals, could not help but show a hint of gloom on his face.
King Zhao Yu of Jin smiled bitterly and said, "The Marquis of Zhennan immediately sent all four strong generals, Fan Kuai, Long Ji, Yuwen Chengdu, and Gao Chong, to participate in the competition, and it was simply not leaving a way out for other teams!"
King Zhao Zhi of Song nodded and said, "What the second brother said is very much. Among so many teams, there may be no one who can be Fan Kuai, Long Jian, Yuwen Chengdu, Gao Chong, and two disciples of Tianxing Pavilion, Zhu Yu and Ju Jing, there is no need to rely on other teams."
Li Bin said with a smile: "The groupings of each round of competition will be drawn in lots. Maybe Fan Kuai and Long Jia will meet in advance, so everyone still has a chance."
Just the day after Li Bin and his group arrived at Tianxing Pavilion, the day before Tianxing Pavilion held its dedication ceremony, an uninvited guest also came to Tianxing Pavilion.
Outside the mountain gate of Tianxing Pavilion, a blond and blue-eyed middle-aged man clasped his fists and said to Han Yu, the leader of Tianxing Pavilion: "Dear Master of Tianxing Pavilion, we are disciples of the Holy Sword Sect of the Tuz Empire. We have traveled thousands of miles to the Great Yan Empire to ask for advice from Tianxing Pavilion, which is known as the first sect of the Great Yan Empire."
Behind this blonde and blue-eyed middle-aged man, there are more than a dozen equally blonde and blue-eyed Tuzzi people.
The Tuz Empire is located in the west of the Great Yan Empire, and is separated from the Great Yan Empire by several small countries. It is one of the overlords of the Western countries.
The people in the Tuz Empire were basically blonde and blue-eyed, which was very obvious different from the Yan people with black hair and black eyes.
The Tuzi Empire was very vast, and the territory of the Dayan Empire has now added Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Junzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture, which is not as good as the Tuzi Empire in area.
Even if Li Bin could help the Great Yan Empire conquer all the ethnic groups of the Eastern Man, and make the territory of the Great Yan Empire plus an Eastern Mansion Protectorate, the area is still slightly smaller than that of the Tuz Empire, which shows how vast the territory of the Tuz Empire is.
However, a considerable part of the land in the Tuzzi Empire is desert, which also makes the population of the Tuzzi Empire still have a considerable gap compared to the Dayan Empire.
Now, including the 40 million population of Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Junzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture, the population of the entire Dayan Empire has reached nearly 180 million. If the Zhennan Army can conquer more than 30 million people of the Dongman race, the population of the Dayan Empire will exceed 200 million, while the Tuz Empire currently has only about 60 million people.
The Holy Sword Sect is the largest sect in the Tuzzi Empire. Its status is in the Tuzzi Empire, and it is comparable to the Tianxing Pavilion in the Dayan Empire.
Han Yu, the leader of Tianxing Pavilion, said to the middle-aged strong man indifferently: "I have also heard of the name of the Holy Sword Sect of the Tuz Empire. I didn't expect that the disciples of the Holy Sword Sect will come to visit my Tianxing Pavilion today. I can't talk about my Tianxing Pavilion. If the Holy Sword Sect wants to discuss with my Tianxing Pavilion, my Tianxing Pavilion is willing to accompany you."
At this time, the five princes and the fourteen generals also came to the outside of the mountain gate of Tianxing Pavilion.
As soon as Han Yu, the leader of Tianxing Pavilion, the prince Zhao Chang frowned and asked, "You Tuz people come to my Dayan just to ask for advice from Tianxing Pavilion?"
Han Yu immediately interrupted and introduced: "This is the prince of my Dayan."
When the middle-aged strong man heard Han Yu's introduction, he hurriedly bowed to the prince Zhao Chang again, and then said, "Dear Prince, our disciples from the Holy Sword Sect came to the Great Yan Empire with the mission of our Tuzzi Empire. After entering the capital road of your country, we disciples from the Holy Sword Sect separated from the mission and rushed to Tianxing Pavilion to ask for advice from the first sect of the Great Yan Empire. The mission of our Tuzzi Empire should have arrived at the capital of your country at this time."
When the five princes and the fourteen generals heard that the Tuz Empire had sent a delegation to the Great Yan Empire, they all showed surprise.
You should know that the relationship between the Great Yan Empire and the Tuz Empire was not good. More than two hundred years ago, for a vassal state of the Great Yan Empire, Wenli Kingdom, a large-scale war broke out between the Great Yan Empire and the Tuz Empire.
Wenli Kingdom was a small country sandwiched between the Great Yan Empire and the Tuz Empire. Its territory was not large and its population was about one million. At the beginning of the establishment of the Great Yan Empire, Wenli Kingdom was frightened by the military front of the Great Yan Empire and became a vassal state of the Great Yan Empire.
More than two hundred years ago, the emperor in power of the Tuz Empire had always hoped to expand the territory of the Tuz Empire to the east, so he took the initiative to provoke a war with Wenli Kingdom, hoping to annex the Wenli Kingdom, and use this to test the reality of the Great Yan Empire.
After receiving the request for help from Wen Li Kingdom, the Dayan Empire hastily sent only 20,000 troops from Yuzhou Guard and 20,000 troops from Yuzhou Prefecture.
However, the Great Yan Empire had a total of twenty-four vassal states to the west, including Wenli. Although the Great Yan Empire only sent 40,000 troops, it ordered the other twenty-three vassal states to gather more than 500,000 troops.
In the last 40,000 Yan troops, 60,000 Wenli troops and 500,000 other vassal states coalition forces defeated the 450,000 troops of the Tuz Empire within the territory of Wenli Kingdom, and beheaded more than 250,000 in one battle, forcing the Tuz Empire to surrender to the Dayan Empire and promised never to invade any vassal state of the Dayan Empire.
After that war, the Tuz Empire kept its promise and had not invaded any vassal state west of the Great Yan Empire for more than two hundred years. However, the Tuz Empire also had a feud with the Great Yan Empire because of that war. The Tuz Empire and the Great Yan Empire had no connection with the Great Yan Empire for more than two hundred years.
The Tuz Empire delegation, which came to Yong'an City this time, was the first time the Tuz Empire sent an envoy to the territory of Dayan in more than two hundred years.
The prince Zhao Chang immediately asked again: "I wonder why the Tuz Empire sent an envoy to my Dayan site this time?"
The middle-aged strong man hesitated for a moment and said, "This is actually no secret..."
It turned out that the Tuz Empire's mission came to the Dayan Empire this time to form an alliance with the Dayan Empire.
Further west of the Tuz Empire, a country called the Roland Empire has risen rapidly in the past century. The reason why the Roland Empire can rise is through continuous external expansion.
In nearly a hundred, the Roland Empire has annexed hundreds of countries of all sizes through force expansion. Now the territory of the Roland Empire has even surpassed the Tuz Empire. The population of the Roland Empire is twice that of the Tuz Empire, reaching 130 million.
Now there is a territory border between the Roland Empire and the Tuz Empire. Although the Roland Empire has not yet made any move to invade the Tuz Empire, facing the extremely powerful Roland Empire, the monarchs and ministers of the Tuz Empire were always worried, so they sent a delegation to the Dayan Empire, hoping to form a military alliance with the Dayan Empire.
The middle-aged and strong man's name is Mukhtar, and he is the left guardian of the Holy Sword Sect of the Tuz Empire.
Although the Tuz Empire was forced to seek alliance with the Great Yan Empire due to the threat of the Roland Empire, the monarchs and ministers of the Tuz Empire were always resentful of the disastrous defeat more than two hundred years ago.
While sending an envoy, the emperor of the Tuz Empire asked the Holy Sword Sect to select a group of masters and rushed to the territory of the Dayan Empire with the mission. The intention was to challenge the Tianxing Pavilion, the first sect of the Dayan Empire, and to make some face for the Tuz Empire from the Tianxing Pavilion.
The martial arts practitioners in Western countries are called knights, and their strengths range from low to high, and are divided into Green Knights, Yellow Knights, Blue Knights, Purple Knights and Red Knights.
In fact, these five levels of knights correspond to Mingjin warriors, hidden martial artists, transformed martial artists, master warriors and grand master warriors, but the two sides have different names.
In addition, Western countries call the vital energy cultivated in the body of those who practice martial arts, Dou Qi, and vital energy and Dou Qi are essentially the same.
This time, Mukhtar, the left guardian of the Holy Sword Sect of the Tuz Empire, brought a total of sixteen disciples of the Holy Sword Sect, including thirteen of them were purple-light knights. Although the remaining three people did not cultivate fighting spirit in their bodies, they were all born with divine power and were more powerful than ordinary purple-light knights. Mukhtar, the left guardian of the Holy Sword Sect, was also a purple-light knight.
After introducing the Tuz Empire's mission hopes to form an alliance with the Great Yan Empire, Mukhtar asked Han Yu, the leader of Tianxing Pavilion: "Dear Master of Tianxing Pavilion, when can we discuss with the disciples of Tianxing Pavilion?"
Han Yu pondered for a moment and said, "It's a coincidence that tomorrow will be the launch ceremony of my Tianxing Pavilion every five years. However, since the disciples of the Holy Sword Sect have come from afar, my Tianxing Pavilion cannot disappoint you. I think it's better to choose a day than to meet the day. Today, let the disciples of both sides compete?"
When Mukhtar, the left guardian of the Holy Sword Sect, heard it, he immediately said happily: "That's great. Thank you, Lord Sect for your accomplishment!"
Han Yu then turned his head and whispered to the manager Song Yan: "Call the eleven disciples who will leave tomorrow, including Zhu Yu and Ju Jing, to the martial arts training ground, and let them put on armor and bring weapons. Since they come to the door, our Tianxing Pavilion must treat them well."
Before the Tianxing Pavilion competed with the disciples of the Holy Sword Sect, Li Bin came to Han Yu, "Sect Master Han, this Holy Sword Sect from Tuz Kingdom is not good. If you want, the generals under my command can also represent the Tianxing Pavilion to fight."
Han Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Marquis Zhennan, I am not a pedantic person. This competition is not only related to the reputation of our Tianxing Pavilion, but also to the face of my Dayan. If necessary, I will speak to Marquis Zhennan."
The preparations for this competition were soon completed. Both sides did not set any rules for this competition. However, Han Yu and Mukhtar both hoped that the disciples of both sides could reach the point and not hurt each other's lives as much as possible.
Han Yu first sent Zhu Yu, and a disciple named Dimusad was sent from the Holy Sword Sect. He was one of the three Holy Sword Sect disciples who had not cultivated fighting spirit in their bodies. Dimusad's weapon was a two-handed sword, weighing 240 kilograms.
All the disciples of the Holy Sword Sect, including the left guardian Mukhtar, have weapons all with a two-handed sword, but the weight of the two-handed sword is different.
"Tianxing Pavilion, Zhu Yu!"
"Holy Sword Gate, Dimusad!"
After the two met each other, they immediately started fighting.
Although Dimusad was born with divine power, it was even worse than Zhu Yu in terms of power. The two fought for more than 30 moves, and blood was already flowing from the corner of Dimusad's mouth. He was shocked by Zhu Yu's pair of black iron axes weighing 540 kilograms.
Seeing this, Mukhtar, the left guardian of the Holy Sword Sect, hurriedly stopped, and then said to Han Yu, the leader of the Tianxing Pavilion in shock: "Sect Master Han, is this disciple of the Tianxing Pavilion named Zhu Yu, the Red Mirror Knight? The Red Mirror Knight is equivalent to a great master warrior of the Great Yan Empire."
Han Yu smiled slightly, "Zhu Yu is just stronger. His physique is not suitable for practicing the Yuanqi technique. He only relies on his brute force. How can he be a great master warrior!"
Mukhtar sighed: "This is not an ordinary strength. Although Dimusad is not suitable for practicing Douqi Kung Fu, Dimusad is born with divine power and has a much stronger strength than ordinary Purple Knights."
After hearing Mukhtar's call for a stop, Zhu Yu and Dimusad took a few steps back and did not continue to fight.
Dimusad held the sword tip of the sword with both hands, held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his left hand, then nodded to Zhu Yu and said, "You are very powerful, I can't beat you, I lost this competition."
The Yan dialect spoken by Dimusad was also very strange, but everyone could understand what Dimusad meant.
Zhu Yu then said carelessly: "It's already great that you can fight me hard for more than 30 moves and never defeat me. If you have the chance, we will have a chance to compete with each other."
Then Zhu Yu shouted to the disciples of the Holy Sword Sect: "Who else is willing to come up and practice with me?"
Although the sixteen disciples of the Divine Sword Sect brought by the left guardian Mukhtar all possess the strength of the Purple Knight, that is, the strength of the Grandmaster Warrior, were worse than Zhu Yu.
After Dimusad, three more disciples from the Divine Sword Sect came on stage. As a result, none of the three disciples of the Divine Sword Sect could resist Zhu Yu's thirty moves and were defeated one after another.
Next, Ju Jing took the field to replace Zhu Yu and lost three disciples of the Divine Sword Sect in a row.
Finally, Mukhtar, the left guardian of the Holy Sword Sect, said to Han Yu, the leader of the Tianxing Pavilion with a respectful look on his face: "Sect Master Han, what we lost in the Divine Sword Sect is convinced. Tianxing Pavilion is worthy of being the first sect of the Great Yan Empire, and the Great Yan Empire is worthy of being the most powerful country in the world. It turns out that many powerful generals emerge. I hope that our disciples of the Divine Sword Sect and the disciples of the Tianxing Pavilion can fight side by side on the battlefield against the Roland Empire in the future."
Although the Holy Sword Sect took the initiative to challenge this time, all the disciples of the Holy Sword Sect are very skilled in martial arts. Even if the competition is defeated, no one will be angry. This greatly increases Han Yu's favor for the people of the Holy Sword Sect. "Mukhtar Protector, tomorrow is the new launch ceremony of my Tianxing Pavilion. I hope that the Mukhtar Protector and all the disciples of the Holy Sword Sect can participate in the tomorrow's launch ceremony of our Tianxing Pavilion."
