Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 196

“See that row of weapons over there? Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. There are many capable people in my army. Any one of them can use these weapons.” King Hanhai continued.

"King Hanhai brought us to visit the military camp to broaden our horizons. Now that we are talking about weapons, why don't you pick out a few people to practice using these weapons so that we can appreciate the style of your country's army and soldiers." Siyu knew that King Hanhai was showing off, so it would be better to do him a favor and give him this opportunity. We can also use this opportunity to test the strength of the Bohai army.

"The beautiful princess has spoken, so how can we not obey? Your Highness, Princess, please take a seat. I will make the arrangements right away."

This Hanhai King has a sweet mouth, Siyu thought.

After everyone took their seats, the first person came on stage to practice with the first weapon - the spear.

Then several more soldiers came on stage and practiced using weapons such as knives, swords, axes, and hatchets in turn.

During the drill, the King of Hanhai was all smiles and looked very pleased with himself. In order to save face for the King of Hanhai and avoid causing trouble, the King of Chen gave him symbolic praise after each drill.

His actions made Siyu laugh, thinking that our usually aloof and elegant Prince Chen would actually praise and agree with others. Even Su Xunxian, who had known him for more than ten years, felt that the Prince Chen was very different today. He wanted to laugh but couldn't, and it was really uncomfortable.

Just when everyone thought the drill was over and they could leave, King Hanhai suddenly proposed to compete with the people from China.

"I have long heard that the Chinese soldiers are brave and good at fighting. They were extremely brave in the battle with Tuhun. I have long wanted to see them. Today I finally have the chance. Your Highness, why don't you ask your men to compete with my men? This will open our eyes."

"Please excuse my embarrassment, King Hanhai. I only brought a small team with me on this trip, just to protect the delegation. They are incomparable to the elite soldiers and generals in the army."

"Your Highness is too modest. Your Highness holds a high position of power in China. This time, you are the head of the delegation. The princess is also accompanying you. The guards must be taken seriously. How can you use mediocre people? Your Majesty will definitely select smart and capable people to take the responsibility of guarding the delegation."

Since King Hanhai had said so much, King Chen could no longer refuse.

"In order to avoid damaging the harmony between the two countries, how about each side sending one person to spar with each other and stop at a certain point?"

"Very good."

Afterwards, each side sent out one person to start the competition. After the boxing and kicking competition, King Hanhai still felt that it was not enough, so he wanted to compete in weapons. After the weapons competition, he wanted to compete in archery, with different moves, round after round. On the surface, it seemed that they were trying to compare skills with each other, but in fact, they wanted to test our strength.

After several rounds of competition, both sides won and lost, but King Hanhai was still not satisfied and wanted to compete again.

"That's enough." The King of Chen shouted, shocking everyone. "Let's stop here today. They are all tired after competing for such a long time. If they continue, they won't be able to control the strength of their hands well, and there might be casualties."

"Your Highness is right. Stop, the competition ends here. Your Highness and the princess must be tired. I will send someone to take you back to the inn to rest."

"No need." At this time, Prince Chen was a little angry. He no longer paid attention to Prince Hanhai and left the military camp with Siyu, Su Xunxian and others.

"Your Highness Prince Chen, take care. I won't see you off."

In the carriage on the way back to the posthouse.

"This King of the Vast Sea really has ulterior motives. He uses the name of competition to carry out investigations, and he is also arrogant." Siyu couldn't help but complain.

"He wants to give us a warning. Although our delegation is VIP guests, we are also on their territory. He wants to warn us not to cause trouble." Beitang Mo Ran explained.

"Maybe there will be many more things like this in the future." Su Xunxian said.

"Just deal with it as it happens, and try not to cause trouble. After all, this is someone else's territory."
