my days with tyrants

The next day, Duke Liang and Ambassador Yang competed in martial arts.

Outside Chengtian Gate.

A newly built arena was impressively placed in the middle of the royal road south of Wulong Bridge.

Of course, this was authorized by His Majesty the Emperor.

Because His Majesty the Emperor requires all the garrison troops in the capital to watch except for those on duty, which requires a lot of space. There are 10,000+ people, so many people are crowded in the small school field, one can't get out of the way, and the other can't see clearly behind.

This is a tournament.

What can you see clearly from a distance of several hundred meters on a level ground?
Modern stadiums are all terraces.

But it's different here.

The city tower, the surrounding city walls, and the roofs of the thousand-step corridors on both sides can be used as stands.

So at this moment, except for the Chengtian Gate tower, the other city walls are full of spectators, including the left and right Chang'an Gate towers, which are also occupied by those civil and military officials, and even the Chengtian Gate tower is also full of spectators.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Amidst the shouts of "Long Live the Mountain", His Majesty the Emperor inherited the Tianmen Gate.

Standing on the tower of Chengtianmen, Zhu Yuanzhang is wearing a red dragon robe of twelve groups, wearing a winged crown on his head, and carrying the sun and the moon on his left and right shoulders. Although he already has a white beard, he still looks good. At least he should not die this year I have to say that those officials were disappointed every time they saw him...

Why is he still alive?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the crowds of people below with satisfaction.

"Where's Yang Feng, hasn't he come yet?"

He said.

"Your Majesty, this guy is really arrogant, dare to let His Majesty wait for him!"

Sapphire standing on the ring smiled.

At this time, he was still wearing the suit, which was of course armor. Although it was a martial arts competition, at least his torso had to be protected.

Besides, Yang Feng also wears bulletproof vests.

There is nothing unfair about this issue, but Lan Yu is really unfair. After all, his fish-scale armor cannot be compared with Yang Feng's body armor. At this time, the generals of the Ming army are used to fish-scale armor, but the armor is square. The scale-like covering is fixed on the inner leather. As for the protection ability, the key depends on the quality of the armor...

There is a huge difference between carburized forged steel sheets and ordinary wrought iron sheets.

As soon as he said this, Li Liang hurried to Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed his head and said a few words.

His Majesty the Emperor smiled slightly.

"Open Hongwumen for him!"

He said.

"Open Hongwu Gate!"

Li Liang shouted quickly.

Following his shout, a side door of the Hongwu Gate in the south slowly opened, the middle door must not be opened, that is for the emperor, and it is only used for the emperor's important ceremonies, such as going to sacrifice to heaven, he usually does not leave the house .And as the city gate opened, there was rhythmic drumming outside, and then a little girl appeared with a stick in her hand, still wearing a standard little top and white skirt.As her stick went up and down, the drums behind her beat obviously in rhythm with her, and several little girls with drums hanging on their chests walked out while beating the drums, followed by the brass trumpets, drums and trumpets Resounded through Chengtianmen.

Behind it is of course Yang Feng's carriage.

There is nothing to say about this, after all, he has been riding in this carriage recently.

but……

"What the hell is this?"

Lan Yu looked behind Yang Feng in astonishment.

Behind him is a team of little yellow monsters.

It is certain that those little girls are wearing specially sewn coats. This kind of little monster is round and has rabbit ears, and there are red spots on both sides of the cheeks. The tips of the ears are black. There are eyes and mouths on the face. He has short legs, and he sways neatly from side to side as he walks.

Also raised his hands and waved.

Like a group of waddling little yellow ducks.

Their swing followed the rhythm of the drums and horns in front of them. The latter was obviously a piece of music, although it should have been practiced hastily and not very neatly.

But still very rhythmic.

But there is actually another person between them and Yang Feng's carriage, a long-legged girl wearing the same skirt, facing them, and constantly directing them with gestures, even if he doesn't look at the face, His Majesty the Emperor holding a telescope just looks at the height, I also know that it is my daughter.The daughter in a big summer dress made His Majesty the emperor feel depressed, but fortunately his daughter didn't wear half socks to show her legs like those little white skirts, and she wore a pair of white trousers under the skirt, even though the trousers were thinner, It's all attached to the legs.

Such a strange team is still very long, because it is in two columns, so the little yellow ducks are stretching, like a yellow caterpillar wriggling on the royal road...

"Your Majesty, this guy is blatantly overstepping the rules."

Sapphire shouted.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him silently...

I'm not blind, of course I saw him overstepping the limit, but what can I do?And when you shout so loudly, do you think I haven't lost enough face?
"Your Majesty, I don't think it counts. There are many kinds of yellow, and the yellow that His Majesty forbids the people to use is not counted as this kind of yellow."

Li Liang next to him said very sensiblely.

"Yes, this yellow color is not banned."

"This is not presumption."

……

A group of ministers quickly agreed.

"Forget it, no matter what kind of yellow it is, even other colors that are banned are all abolished. It's nothing more than ordinary clothes. People can wear them if they want!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

……

The ministers said quickly.

Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled lightly.

If he can't help it, it is estimated that Yang Feng will change his color one day. This little villain is deliberately teasing him. The repeal of the ban made him lose his acting stage.

After all, Lao Zhu didn't really care about these color restrictions. In fact, the color restrictions including yellow were only released a few years ago.

It should be influenced by Confucian scholars.

Just like Liu Bang formulated various court systems under the influence of Confucian scholars, and then he realized the joy of being a king.

Confucian scholars also taught Zhu Yuanzhang to be clear about the dignity of the imperial power and the differences in levels, so that he could feel the joy of being a king, but he didn’t really care about it, otherwise it would have been many years before he started to ban these things. There were no such rules in the early Ming Dynasty, and many of the bans were made by Hongwu Appeared at the end.And now that Yang Feng has seized this one that can anger him, don't give him a chance. You just want to show your arrogance by wearing prohibited colors, so I'll let you go and everyone will wear whatever you want.

How arrogant are you?

Then everyone watched as the yellow caterpillar moved forward.

The drums sounded rhythmically.

Soon they stopped in front of the arena, and then the little princess commanded the little yellow duck behind...

pikachu.

But the soldiers and civilians of Ming Dynasty didn't know what Pikachu was, so they automatically regarded it as a little yellow duck.

A little yellow duck with bunny ears.

Under the command of the princess, a total of one hundred little yellow ducks quickly completed the formation, forming five horizontal lines in front of the ring, and then took out the colored thread and waved it, dancing while waving.In this way, amid the cheers of the cheerleaders, the door of the carriage opened, and Ambassador Yang walked out with a smile. Of course, he still had a full set of combat equipment, except that the rifle he was carrying was already equipped with a bayonet.

"Yang Feng, the envoy of the Great Xia Kingdom, has met His Majesty the Emperor of Ming!"

He saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

"Excuse me, today the envoy is competing with the Duke of Liang, and I have the same view as the soldiers and the people."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, since there is a martial arts competition, casualties may be unavoidable."

Yang Feng said.

"How about signing a life and death certificate with your Excellency?"

Sapphire sneered on the stage.

Yang Feng looked at Zhu Yuanzhang...

"It's just a martial arts competition, and it's only a matter of time. Duke Liang is an important minister of our Ming Dynasty, and the envoy is an envoy from a friendly country. I don't want to see any damage, and there is no need for life and death certificates."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

What else can he do?

Did he say that you can die alone?
Everyone is watching, he wants to behave like a holy lord.

Of course, it would be better to not sign the certificate of life and death. For example, if Lan Yu killed Yang Feng, he would kill the envoy of the friendly country.Yang Feng killed Lan Yu, it is impossible to arrest him and punish him, but fortunately, he can solve this trouble for His Majesty the Emperor, after all, he really wants to kill this guy now.

Especially after Lan Yu brought the [-] righteous sons into Beijing, his impulse became even stronger.

"According to the order."

Yang Feng said.

Then he walked onto the ring with a rifle in his hand amidst the cheers of the cheerleaders, and looked at Sapphire opposite.

"Ambassador Yang, if you don't bully others, I will use this knife to compete with you."

The latter said while holding a relatively long two-handed knife.

Yang Feng took his bayonet-mounted rifle and took a photo with him...

"Duke Liang is particular about it!"

He said.

About the same length.

After all, the automatic rifle in his hand is not designed for stabbing. It is incomparable with the 1.7-meter rifles with bayonets in World War II. In fact, modern rifles are as short as possible, and the bayonet is also a multifunctional saber. It looks like a World War II rifle without a bayonet length.

In this era, cold weapons are all about length, and any kind of long weapon on the battlefield is longer than him.

But Lan Yu really carried a two-foot spear, so there was no need to compete in this martial arts competition.

But the whip and mace are short.

The whip mace in actual combat is his rifle without the length of the bayonet, and Sapphire is obviously at a disadvantage, after all, there is no need for armor penetration in this kind of competition.

That is to say, this kind of military long knife is similar to his rifle with bayonet, and it has to be the short side of the long knife. The really long two-handed long knife is longer than his rifle with bayonet.

After comparing the length, Yang Feng stepped back.

"How about two wins in three games?"

he asked, holding his rifle.

"Can!"

Sapphire long knife pointed and said.

"Wait a minute!"

cried the little princess.

Then she held a sign for the first game, and suddenly ran to the front of the ring, and at the same time, Zhang Ying, who was caught, was beating the gong...

"start!"

cried the little princess.

Yang Feng stepped forward with a rifle in his hand, almost at the same time Lanyu stabbed straight with both hands, the swords and guns intersected and the long knife swung away, Yang Feng took a step forward and stabbed, Lanyu turned sideways to dodge urgently, bumped Yang Feng with his shoulder, the two collided at the same time Retreat, return to their respective starting points, and stare at each other with weapons in hand.

Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages. Sapphire's advantage is the addition of arms, so the attack distance is still longer than that of Yang Feng.

Yang Feng's advantage is that he holds a gun with both hands, and his attack strength is greater than that of Sapphire who holds a knife handle with both hands.

Even if he didn't rely on his own strange strength, under normal circumstances he could still swing Sapphire's knife and stab at close quarters, but Sapphire's experience in cold weapon combat is too rich and his reaction speed is extremely fast, it is not easy for him to succeed.As for chopping Yang Feng with a knife, don't talk about it, the speed of swinging a knife can never catch up with the speed of stabbing, and the result of raising the knife to chop is that your knife has not fallen yet, and the bayonet has already been stuck.

Sapphire actually chose the wrong weapon.

The knife is at a disadvantage against the bayonet.

It is more cost-effective for him to get a short spear of the same length than a knife.

Yang Feng suddenly rushed forward again and stabbed out at a very fast speed.

Sapphire flipped the bayonet on the long knife in her hand.

But Yang Feng stabbed forward one after another in a very short interval, Lan Yu blocked the bayonet and retreated step by step.

But at the same time, the distance keeps getting closer.

And every time he blocked it, it also expanded Sapphire's frontal gap.

Yang Feng suddenly roared, jumped up and stabbed his shoulder straight in the air, pushed the sapphire knife handle away, but the bayonet still brushed past his shoulder, and the two collided again.Immediately after Lan Yu roared, she pushed Yang Feng away with all her strength, and at the same time she strode back to create a distance, holding the knife in both hands to sweep, Yang Feng retreated to dodge, Lan Yu took a step forward, still sweeping with the long knife in her hand, Yang Feng continued to dodge, He moves on.After retreating three steps in a row, Yang Feng finally stabilized. The rifle in his hand suddenly blocked Lan Yu's knife, and then he stepped forward, and the butt of the gun slipped across Lan Yu's chest.

The latter backed away abruptly.

Yang Feng continued to smash the gun butt, Lan Yu continued to retreat, and he continued to smash.

Hit it three times in a row.

The steady sapphire hilt hit his chest hard, but was blocked by the bulletproof plate, and at the same time Yang Feng's gun stock continued to hit his chest, without stopping for a moment, without even thinking about switching the rifle to replace the bayonet.

In fact, he had no chance to do so.

He couldn't give Sapphire any chance to breathe.

Whenever there is a distance, it is Sapphire's counterattack, and his gun butt keeps falling on Sapphire's chest at very short intervals.

The latter kept retreating.

At last it was empty.

"In the first round, Yang Feng wins!"

The little princess holding the sign shouted happily.

Lan Yu, who fell into the ring, stood up immediately, and looked angrily at Yang Feng who was overlooking him. Because Yang Feng controlled his strength, he was not injured. A fall at this height can last a long time against his skinning is not worth mentioning.

This guy is as strong as a brown bear, so he doesn't care about this little damage.

"Mr. Liang, do you want me to go down and help you?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"No need, someone is not old enough to need help."

Sapphire sneered.

But he still had to slow down, so Yizi hurriedly put him in the top chair at the back, Duke Liang sat down in the top chair, and threw the knife to Yizi...

"Change a gun and cut it to be as long as him."

He said.

He also understands that using a knife is at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, he didn't say that he couldn't change it. He could change to another weapon, as long as it wasn't longer than Yang Feng's.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was obviously very old on the tower, watched indifferently.

"Look carefully. In the future, the Shenji Battalion will also need to replace new firearms and add thorns. These are all methods of using thorns. Ambassador Yang is a real way to kill the enemy. Although it is nothing fancy, it is very important. All the most useful."

he said slowly.

"According to the order!"

The generals and soldiers around hurriedly shouted.
