The Flower Of War
Chapter 34: Waiting for the Weak Lion Child
"Daughter, be prepared, Emperor Wang gave the order for you to replace the position of Crown Prince in this match."
Yiu paused for a moment - still digesting Chichi's words - with a face that did not change at all, "Where did Prince Xiao Ce go? Did something happen in the palace?"
"Just a little palace business should be the responsibility of Prince Xiao Ce so His Imperial Majesty appointed the Princess to replace His Highness Prince Xiao Ce."
Change the position of the hand to be in front of the lips. Yiu again asked, "Why isn't Prince Huang the only one to replace him? Why should I?"
"I heard that Prince Huang has not practiced swords for a long time so afraid that his sword skills are not as strong as they used to be." Yiu's bead turned to glance towards Prince Huang who was opposite the tower.
The two beads met each other with the gaze of Prince Huang who raised his eyebrows while casually feeding the food in his chopsticks into his mouth without understanding the intent of Yiu's gaze which became increasingly cold as ice plus a sharp glint of hers.
Yiu knew that this was only the subterfuge of Prince Huang so that Yiu could take part in a sword match with him who sat back and ate the dishes served on his desk quietly. You're Greedy!!
And it was only a day before their departure that Prince Huang was training with him in the training field. How could it be said to have not practiced swords for so long?!
And the reason why Emperor Wang agreed was definitely because he wanted to see the sword talent of Yiu due to the sweet words that Prince Huang threw at him, Tsk tsk really wanted to trouble Yiu alone!
Sizzling softly, "What a sneak!"
"I'm sorry, but what did you say princess?" Yiu forgets that Chichi is still nearby.
"No, well I'll fight. Prepare a sword for me!"
"Okay, Princess." Chichi walked back and went to prepare the sword for Yiu to use to compete with Yiu who again poured a glass of tea in his cup then sipped it slowly.
The match had already started with the opening match between Prince Wu Xiao of Zhang Wu Kingdom and Prince Lin Ru who was the youngest Prince of Hua Lin Kingdom.
The rules of the game this time are quite easy that only when the sword is already at the opponent's vital points such as the neck, chest, or other locking movements, such as, then if the opponent has gone out of the arena line then the match will be considered over.
Yiu knew a bit of Wu Xiao's sword technique because he had fought with him in the forest of the Qiu Wang royal region when they were both in disguise and also during the festival in Zhang Wu Kingdom. And also their sword technique is quite the same that attacks first.
Prince Wu Xiao moved forward making a vertical movement that Prince Lin Ru was fending off, for a few seconds there was no other movement but then Prince Wu Xiao took a step back and turned around making a deceptive movement and trying to slash and stab the chest of Prince Lin Ru making him have to retreat a few steps due to the impact the attack.
Prince Wu Xiao continued to make attacking moves and instead Prince Lin Ru kept fending off the attack and occasionally turned around to attack yet he looked quite busy fending off Prince Wu Xiao's attacks rather than replying to his attacks.
That crazy man is not an easy opponent for you, Prince Lin Ru. ... Happy fighting!
Yiu who watched the course of the match continued to see how prince Wu Xiao attacked and the way that Prince Lin Ru who was fending off that incredible attack meticulously.
Prince Lin Ru continued to retreat as a result of Prince Wu Xiao's attack, Yiu knew very well that Prince Lin Ru looked so nervous when facing Prince Wu Xiao that not being able to think clearly to attack Prince Wu Xiao all he could do was to continue to dodge and fend off as hard as he could he could.
Actually, the sword technique belonging to Prince Lin Ru is not bad, if it is bad how can he survive the attack of Prince Wu Xiao who is quite energetic and sometimes deceives the eye.
As a result of being too nervous and continuing to retreat to avoid the attack of Prince Wu Xiao finally Prince Wu Xiao who won the match easily with Prince Lin Ru who was in a desperate position then came out of the arena and declared defeated.
Yiu sat with his left hand propping up his chin and his right hand tapped quietly at the table in front of him while observing the course of the match without distracting him from the arena.
Match after match continued between the Princes but in the annual match between the five great kingdoms only three kingdoms sent their crown prince in this match, the Hua Lin Kingdom, the Prince Lin Yang, LiYui Feng Kingdom is Prince Feng Pei and Qiu Wang Kingdom is Prince Xiao Ce but Prince Xiao Ce has to resign because of palace problems so only two kingdoms remain.
Because of the current law, a Crown Prince is not required to be good at fighting but must be superior in the field of strategy and state affairs.
"Next is the fight between Prince Ming ZiChen of Ming Guang Kingdom against Princess Wang YingMei of Qiu Wang Kingdom."
Feeling called, Yui immediately got up from her seat and immediately descended the stairs near the fighting area.
There is already a Chichi standing near the arena carrying a dark red-gloved sword with carvings like a black river flowing branching looks very charming and brave.
Chichi handed the sword to Yiu with both hands and swiftly pulled Yiu out of the sheath, the sword looks shiny with ancient Chinese letter engraving on the iron and the tip of the sword is very thin and sharp.
The sword looks quite large but is actually very light when lifted and swung in the air. It fits Yiu's taste perfectly!
"Your sword, Princess, this sword is a special gift from His Majesty the Emperor specifically for the Princess."
It seems like everyone in the palace who used to belittle you has now turned to admire you, Princess Ying. Congrats! your status is now sky high and no one will underestimate you anymore in the palace, I have fulfilled your request, Princess Ying.
Yiu nodded briefly and walked into the fighting arena together with Prince Ming ZiChen who had also just entered the arena from another door.
Prince Ming ZiChen who wore dark blue clothes with white dragon embroidery on both his shoulders, a dark blue bead that was as clear as night dew, a firm, handsome face line with shoulders as firm as a board and a height that almost matches the height of Prince Huang. His lifespan was only a few months at odds with Princess Ying, but it already looked like a talented young swordsman under the scorching sun.
The two beads of Yiu falconry with beads belonging to Prince Ming ZiChen long enough with a position ready to attack between two fighters.
The sound of a gong sounded shortly afterwards which was a sign of the start of the fight.
Prince Ming ZiChen charged forward as he swung his sword to begin the fight.
Yiu swiftly repelled the sword belonging to Prince Ming ZiChen and threw it towards the left then slashed it in the area around the abdomen making Prince Ming ZiChen take a few steps back.
Yiu immediately approached and again swung his sword faster and full of power but was successfully repelled by Pangerang Ming ZiChen.
Yiu spun around with a sword challenging the sky and once again performed a feint and slash movement towards the stomach yet alas, his movements were read by Prince Ming ZiChen even though it was a little late and resulted in a thin scratching of the left arm of Prince Ming ZiChen.
Touching his wound, Prince Ming ZiChen was seen losing his self-control and charging quite brutally towards Yiu.
Yiu smirked, nice rat has already entered the trap time to have fun!
With a slight smirk on the corner of his face, Yiu only did a stalk after stalk casually face the sword of Prince Ming ZiChen without looking overwhelmed in the slightest.
About one incense stick of burning was only spent by Yiu by fending off the attacks from Prince Ming ZiChen without any intention of retaliating in the slightest making some royal nobles start to throw at each other new topics of conversation about the fight this time around.
Emperor Feng Lan and Emperor Wang also had a chance to stop the fight because they suspected Yiu was exhausted so they could only fend off the attack without any intention of retaliating at all.
On the sidelines of the fight, Prince Ming ZiChen sneered as he continued to charge towards Yiu. "Why don't you fight back? Are you scared, huh?! Well Princess just accept your defeat I still have the heart to not hurt a woman!"
Yiu remained silent - not answering the questions and scorn from Prince Ming ZiChen - constantly focused on fending off the nimble attacks from Prince Ming's sword ZiChen.
Feeling Prince Ming ZiChen's attack begin to weaken, the, Yiu with his final stroke then spun three times and slashed seven times nonstop with some trickery that left Prince Ming ZiChen speechless like a statue afterwards.
"Aahh so this is your strategy Ying? Hmm too!" Prince Huang, who had been enjoying the game while eating a plate of meat on his desk, said slowly and nodded his head a little before returning to eating his smoked meat dish.
"How does the Prince still want to say I'm afraid of you?" Yiu let out his smirk with the position of his sword that did not shift from the white neck of Prince Ming ZiChen.
Many of the swordsmen nodded in understanding of the tactics used by Yiu this time, which Yiu used to call "Tactics of retreat waiting for the weakness of the lion cubs" which means finding or fishing for weaknesses from lion cubs whose emotions tend to be easily ignited.
With Yiu scratching the young Ming Prince ZiChen's arm with a volatile emotion made him climb up and attack Yiu brutally and with all his might but his strength would be drained faster depleted if spent with uncontrolled emotions makes the opponent easily counterattack when he sees signs of weakening target attacks without the need to bother spending extra energy to paralyze his attacks.
"The match this time was won by Princess Wang YingMei of Qiu Wang Kingdom who advanced to the next round against Prince Wu Xiao of Zhang Wu Kingdom"
Yiu lowered his sword and stepped out of the arena quietly muttering.
Huh that crazy guy again ....
