Volume 1 Chapter 28 Dare to Make a Bet?

  "Say, how was this corridor spear made?" Chu Han held the corridor spear in his hand, although the bamboo was straight and hard, but to reach the degree of being as hard as iron and usable as a weapon was not an easy task.

  Xu Wuyan smiled, "It's not simple!" The origin of this corridor still has to be attributed to Xu Wuyan's understanding of the deeds of national heroes. Originally, it was just treated as an interesting story, and unexpectedly, it could actually be used. However, this method of turning bamboo into a corridor is... Xu Wuyan walked up to Chu Hanchen and detailedly told him the manufacturing process of the corridor;

  Chu Hanche's expression on his face became more and more surprised and unbelievable as Xu Wuyan spoke, "Is that all?" Chu Hanche asked with a skeptical look at Xu Wuyan who had just finished speaking.

  Xu Wuyan nodded affirmatively, "Prince Wang, how about we make a bet?" Xu Wuyan raised an eyebrow, looking at Chu Han with a profound meaning.

  "What's the bet?"

  "Divide the Wangfu Guards in two, you come to use the 'Squashing Tactic', I'll respond with battle, three days later we'll meet here again and see who's superior, the loser will do one thing for the winner?" Xu Wuyan knew from Zhu Mo that besides the problem of weapons, the Squashing Tactic used by the Lingzhou army was also quite unusual. Although Zhu Mo didn't explain it in detail, Xu Wuyan roughly understood how to break through their tactics.

  "Good!" Chu Hanche was stimulated by the fearless expression on Xu Wuyan's face, and his fighting spirit was ignited. Such a small woman dared to challenge him so boldly, if he didn't accept the challenge, wouldn't it be too humiliating? "Chi Wei! Assemble the Wangfu Imperial Guard, gather at the training grounds in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!" Chu Hanche ordered his personal bodyguard.

  "Yes! Your Highness!" Chi Wang immediately took orders and went to handle it.

  Chu Hanchen looked at Xu Wuyan, who was standing alone by the weapon rack, admiring the weapons. Her slender figure and delicate posture, combined with her lack of martial arts training since childhood, made it hard to believe that she was now challenging him. "Wuyan! You've changed!" Chu Hanchen exclaimed as he walked up to her.

  Xu Wuyan turned around and looked at Chu Hanchen, why was there no memory of such a calm and godly man in Xu Wuyan's memory? "Yes! I am no longer the Xu Wuyan who grew up with you!" Living on with this body, Xu Wuyan always had a sense of guilt.

  "Ah! You're no longer that little girl who used to tug on my sleeve and cry!" But to Chu Han Che, Xu Wu Yan's words had a different meaning. For five years, there was no news of Xu Wu Yan, and in those five years, Xu Wu Yan's experiences did not include Chu Han Che's existence. It was inevitable that Xu Wu Yan felt somewhat estranged from himself!

  Every time Chu Hanchen inadvertently reveals that kind of tender affection when talking to Xu Wuyan, it will bring up a surge of inexplicable emotion in Xu Wuyan's heart, even though he is very clear that this tenderness is not directed at himself.

  "Your Majesty! This time, I'm going to take a chance and make you do something for me! What I want you to do will be very difficult, have you really thought it through?" Xu Wuyan didn't want to occupy someone else's body and accept love that belonged to someone else against his will. He was willing to risk everything for the freedom of this day and the imperial court.

  Chu Han Che looked at Xu Wu Yan, for a moment there was no word, then the corner of his mouth twitched, and a deep smile emerged, "Wu Yan, are you provoking me? Don't worry! I won't lose to my own queen!"

  "But you are no longer the King of Jing of Tianhe Dynasty, Chu Hanchen, but a defeated general!" Xu Wuyan's smile was crystal clear yet inscrutable, making Chu Hanchen feel an overwhelming force that he could not resist.

  "Your Highness! The Imperial Guard has arrived!" During the time Chu Han was stunned, Chi Wei led eighty elite soldiers from the Wang Fu Imperial Guard to appear on the training grounds.

  Chu Han Che looked at the neat and tidy Imperial Guard and nodded, saying in a cold voice: "Shen er, you come first, how will you choose?"

  Xu Wuyan nodded and looked at the Wangfu guards, who were all very robust and naturally had nothing to pick on. Xu Wuyan pointed to half of the guards closer to himself: "Just these will do!"

  "The Imperial Guard, listen to the order! From this moment on, the Imperial Guard who was jumped out by the Princess will only obey the orders of the Princess! The Princess's command is like the King's own command!" Chu Han gave a loud order, and the Imperial Guard on the training ground immediately divided into two teams.

  "From this moment on, you will be led by the princess, and I will command you! Three days later, we will conduct tactical exercises here! The winning side will be heavily rewarded by me and the princess!" Chu Han's voice was not loud but had a power that could not be disobeyed.

  Chu Hanche glanced at Xu Wuyan and smiled, then looked at Chi Wei standing beside him. "Chi Wei, follow the princess and take orders! The others will gather with me in Beiyuan!" Chu Hanche's implication was to leave the training ground to Xu Wuyan for practice.

  After Chu Han left with half of the Imperial Guards, Xu Wuyan looked at the remaining Imperial Guards and saw a hint of disappointment on their faces. He thought that they must have felt that following him would not give them any chance of winning, which was why they were so disheartened.

  Xu Wuyan glanced at Chi Wei and then at the somewhat disheartened Imperial Guards, "Give you half a day to settle the matters of the impact drill for the next three days! Wait quietly for the orders of the Red Guard!"

  As soon as Xu Wuyan's voice fell, the expressions on the faces of many forbidden army guards became even more inexplicable. The king, being a leading military elite, immediately led his troops to practice, while this queen was good enough to give half a day's time to hand over her affairs!

  Even if there are doubts in my heart, I dare not disobey the king's orders. Since this future queen wants so many people to accompany her, as a subordinate, I can only obey.

  Watching the elite of the forty imperial guards disperse in confusion, Chi Wang couldn't understand Xu's silent behavior, but could only stand by and wait. "Your Highness, what should we do next?"

  Xu Wuyan glanced at Chi Wei and smiled, "Chi Wei, the power of this corridor sword, I'm sure you've seen it just now! I want you to lead them in making a hundred corridor swords. I want to see them tomorrow, how is that?"

  Chi Yan looked at the bamboo in Xu Wuyan's hand, and only then did he realize the power of this corridor. Chi Yan didn't have any doubts, it seemed that this princess wasn't playing games, "Yes! But the method of this corridor is unknown to me!"

  "No rush! Red belt, have you accompanied King Wang in every battle he has led?"

  "Followed closely behind, not leaving Your Highness's side for a single step!"

  "This time Lingzhou's great war is imminent, are you also following?"

  "Your subordinate has clashed with Wang Ye several times in close combat and hand-to-hand fighting, but I don't know what doubts the princess has?"

  Xu Wuyan smiled and said, "Alright! Red Guard, tell me in detail about the tactics of the battle."

  Chi Yan looked at Xǔ Wú Yán, whose expression was as usual without any emotional fluctuations. In his heart, a inexplicable feeling surged up, "Yes! Princess! I will definitely report everything truthfully!" Chi Yan dared not think more and respectfully replied. This princess really has some thoughts...
