However, Jiujiu did not appreciate the King's rare pity.
Jiujiu knew that today would not be peaceful, so when she came, she wore clothes that made it easier for her to move around. Her hair was also in a style that made it easier for her to move around. When she stood in the martial arts arena, she formed a sharp contrast with the tower-like warrior opposite her. No matter who it was, no one would think that a little girl like Jiujiu would win.
The King wanted to speak again, but Xiao Lang gave the King a look, telling him not to speak again.
From the beginning until now, as long as Jiujiu was around, he had not completed anything that went smoothly.
Back then, it was because of Jiujiu's existence that the originally arrogant and lascivious Emperor became diligent and loved the people. Originally, when the Eldest Prince was about to get his hands on her, Jiujiu appeared and directly sent Jiujiu to the Eldest Prince. Then, the Third Prince raised by Jiujiu became the Crown Prince. At this moment, Jiujiu wanted to stand out and compete with the warrior to disrupt his plans.
There was a path to heaven, but you refused to take it. There was no door to hell, but you insisted on entering it.
Since Jiujiu wanted to compete with the warrior, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
Since Jiujiu was going to die anyway, there was no time like the present. Today was the day.
The King wanted to continue, but since Xiao Lang had already nodded, he could only nod in agreement.
After Jiujiu and the warrior bowed to each other, they started to fight.
The warriors of the grasslands were famous for being able to fight against a hundred people alone. Because they grew up eating meat, they were much stronger than the people of the inland in terms of strength and other aspects. Therefore, when he stood out to compete, he did not take the people who came to compete with him seriously at all. At this moment, the person who was competing with him was Jiujiu who looked delicate and soft, so he did not take Jiujiu seriously at all.
Because he thought that Jiujiu was easy to deal with, the samurai directly reached out and tried to grab Jiujiu's arm like an eagle grabbing a chick to lift Jiujiu up.
However, before he could even touch Jiujiu's arm, Jiujiu slipped out like a small fish. Before the warrior could regain his senses, he was kicked out of the stage by Jiujiu.
Jiujiu patted the non-existent dust off her hands and curled her lips into a bright smile. She looked at the King and said in a sarcastic tone, "The warriors of the grasslands indeed live up to their reputation."
Jiujiu's words were well-deserved, but her eyes were full of ridicule. She was obviously mocking him.
Although the samurai who went on stage this time was not the most powerful, he could still be ranked among the top in the grasslands. Yet, he was kicked out of the stage by Jiujiu as soon as he appeared. The King's face was also very hot. He no longer cared about showing mercy to the fairer sex and directly sent the most powerful samurai in the grasslands, Ahma, into the arena.
The previous samurai was as strong as a metal tower, then Ahma was a bigger metal tower. Furthermore, there was an obvious cold glint in his eyes. He was obviously a vicious and merciless person.
Because he knew that Jiujiu was powerful, Ahma did not underestimate his opponent like the previous samurai. Instead, he tested each other before making his move.
For a moment, Ahma and Jiujiu were entangled in a fight. As the time dragged on, both the King and Xiao Lang's expressions turned ugly.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Jiujiu was petite and was almost caught by Ahma several times. However, this was in the eyes of laymen. In the eyes of true experts, Ahma was not a match for Jiujiu at all. The reason why the two of them fought until now was completely because Jiujiu was teasing Ahma.
The most powerful person in the grasslands was actually unable to defeat a concubine in the Emperor's harem. This was simply too embarrassing. The King only felt that his face was burning fiercely.
When Xiao Lang saw Jiujiu's skills again, he was even more shocked. Even if it was him, he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat Jiujiu.
When Xiao Lang saw that Jiujiu was about to knock Ahma off the stage, he simply smashed the wine cup and prepared to take down the Emperor first.
Smashing the wine cup was a signal that Xiao Lang and his subordinates had set. As long as he smashed the wine cup, they would rush up and take the Emperor hostage.
However, even after Xiao Lang smashed the wine cup for a long time, the banquet was still quiet. No one came in.
With a plop, Ahma was kicked to the ground heavily by Jiujiu. This competition was over, and Xiao Lang also knew that he was also finished.
For this palace coup, he had planned countless times. It was absolutely impossible for a situation where no one came in after he smashed the wine cup. If this situation happened, it could only mean that his people were all under someone's control.
Jiujiu looked at the wine cup that Xiao Lang had smashed on the ground. She raised her hand and casually wiped the sweat on her forehead. She chuckled and said: "General, are you very disappointed?"
"This humble subject does not understand what Your Highness is talking about."
"A straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. General, do you know what I'm talking about?" Jiujiu walked in front of Xiao Lang and looked at Xiao Lang's face that seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. She smiled faintly and said in a voice that only she and Xiao Lang could hear: "I told you back then that those who schemed against me would all die. General, not only did you dare to scheme against me, you even dared to lay a hand on my son. Do you think I will let you off?"
As soon as Jiujiu finished speaking, the Third Prince walked in with the First Prince.
The First Prince, who was usually high-spirited, was now dragged in like a drowning dog and casually thrown to the ground.
When the Third Prince saw the situation in the banquet, he knelt on one knee and said: "This son came late to save Your Majesty. I hope Imperial Father will forgive me."
"My son has done a meritorious deed by saving Your Majesty. What crime is there?" The Emperor stood up and helped the Third Prince up. Then, he looked at the First Prince who was thrown to the ground by the Third Prince and Xiao Lang who was still standing at the same spot and said: "Take them down."
With the Emperor's order, the First Prince and Xiao Lang were both taken down.
As for the King, before he could make a move, he was invited to the relay station and placed under house arrest.
The officials who came to attend the banquet were also at a loss. They only knew what had happened the next day.
It turned out that the First Prince and Xiao Lang had colluded with the barbarian king to force the Emperor to abdicate, but they were not discovered by the Third Prince in advance. After discussing it with the Emperor, the Third Prince decided to beat them at their own game and catch them like a turtle in a jar.
In the past, when Xiao Lang was mentioned, everyone would say that he was young and promising. Now, when Xiao Lang was mentioned, everyone would spit and scold him for having wild ambitions.
The Emperor treated the Xiao family so well, but the Xiao family was not satisfied at all. Instead, they even wanted to force the First Prince to abdicate. They were really ingrates.
As for the King, seeing that it had ended before he could even start, the Emperor said that he would not stoop to his level and directly let him go. When the King arrived at the grasslands, the Emperor said that the King's collusion with the First Prince to force the Emperor to abdicate had broken his heart. There would not be any trade between the two countries.
The King had come to the Chen Nation for trade between the two countries. However, he was harmed by his own greed later on. As a result, he did not get what he wanted and instead lost what he had already obtained. He went for wool and came home shorn.
