Chapter 359 Everyone has his own destiny
With limited vision and his throat locked, Zhao Baopeng is in danger!
Fortunately, years of hard training were no joke. At the moment when the tip of the knife touched his waist and abdomen, Zhao Baopeng let out a low roar, gave up struggling at his neck, and punched Chai Bin's spine.
Chai Bin reacted very quickly, knowing that if this punch landed on him, he would most likely be crippled.
He immediately released his strength and turned a few times in the air, but because the distance was too close, he was still hit hard by Zhao Baopeng.
Chai Bin was half-kneeling on the ground. Because he dodged in time, the punch did not hit his spine, but a bone in his lower back seemed to be dislocated. The slightest movement caused him to sweat profusely in pain.
Zhao Baopeng was not much better off. His neck was bruised purple from the wounds he had sustained. That was not all. The knife wound on his waist and abdomen was bleeding continuously, dripping all over the floor.
"it is good!!!"
There was constant cheering from the audience, and many people said it was a great pleasure.
Blood can always make people excited and passionate. Emperor Qianwu also stood up at this moment, looked coldly at the two young men in the audience, and clapped his hands slowly.
Zhao Xueqing's eyes turned red, and she tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand to prevent herself from making a sound.
Before everyone could react, the next moment, Zhao Baopeng came forward with a sword in hand. The dark-skinned boy had sword-like brows and bright eyes, and he looked tough and silent.
Chai Bin's pupils shrank slightly and he dodged.
Neither of them was in good condition, but the difference was that Zhao Baopeng was like a madman who would fight to the death and would not stop until he was dead.
Chai Bin didn't even get a chance to catch his breath and was forced to take the attack.
Just doing this makes it look a little embarrassing.
Before long, both of them were covered in blood. Chai Bin had suffered several losses, and now he was also a little bloody.
The swords collided again, but this time, Chai Bin's sword was knocked away.
Chai Bin's eyes were gloomy. He used one arm to block Zhao Baopeng's sword, and with the other hand he made a fist and hit him in the chest. But when the fist was about to fall, he suddenly changed the fist into a palm, and there appeared a short knife in his palm, which stabbed straight into Zhao Baopeng's heart.
"Baopeng!" Mrs. Zhao said urgently.
Mr. Zhao's face also turned pale and his chest was shaking.
Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were deep. The Chai family's actions were indeed a bit sinister, but it was undeniable that there was a toughness in their sinisterness.
Such people will ignore the consequences and do whatever it takes to gain power!
When they are friends with you, they will stand by you through thick and thin. When their interests go against yours, they will stab you in the back without hesitation.
I’m afraid that Jiang Yanhu was deceived by Chai Zhi’s behavior back then.
Zhao Baopeng's expression remained unchanged. He pierced Chai Bin's arm with one sword and quickly moved with his other hand to hold Chai Bin's wrist.
The tip of the knife sank into the gap in the armor, but Chai Bin still persisted.
Zhao Baopeng kicked the wound on his leg, and then turned the blade of the dagger towards Chai Bin's neck.
Chai Bin knelt on one knee, his eyes wide open, and he used all his strength to compete with Zhao Baopeng.
Unfortunately, although Zhao Baopeng is not as experienced as him, he has his own way.
In the stalemate, the tip of the knife approached Chai Bin's eyes little by little. Zhao Baopeng's shadow and cold light were reflected in those fierce eyes.
Chai Bin's breathing became heavier and the strength in his hands became lighter.
Seeing that the tip of the knife was about to pierce his eyes, Chai Bin showed no intention of bowing his head and admitting defeat, and the hearts of the people below the stage were hanging in the balance.
Shen Shuyi frowned slightly. Obviously, although Chai Bin was defeated, he did not forget to set a trap for Zhao Baopeng.
At this time, if Baopeng stopped, he would inevitably be branded as soft-hearted.
After what happened to Zhao Baokun and Huo Xuan, if he stopped again, he would probably receive the same evaluation.
But if he didn't stop, it would be tantamount to slapping the face of the Third Prince and Concubine Rou. After all, everyone knew that Chai Bin and Princess Anle were granted marriage. Even if the injury was on the face, it would be tantamount to slapping the face of the emperor.
The atmosphere inside and outside the venue was extremely solemn for a moment. Chai Zhi stood aside and stared at the movements in the venue. Seeing that his son's life was hanging by a thread, his expression was also solemn.
The next moment, Zhao Baopeng raised his knee and hit Chai Bin's jaw hard, causing Chai Bin to spit out blood immediately.
Immediately afterwards, a cold light flashed, and the dagger brushed past Chai Bin's neck, leaving a blood mark of neither deep nor shallow!
"Zhao Baopeng wins!" the guard announced loudly.
Chai Bin fell to the ground and someone immediately came forward to help him up.
Shen Shuyi curled her lips and was in a good mood. Although Zhao Baopeng was not as smart as Zhao Baokun, he was never stupid.
The knife cut his throat, leaving a long scar, but the force was well controlled and only cut the flesh, without endangering Chai Bin's life.
But because of these last two moves, Chai Bin was no longer able to fight back.
No matter from which angle, he achieved the ultimate. He was both courageous and brave, and at the same time, he showed mercy to Chai Bin.
There was an immediate burst of sighs from the audience. Obviously, the unexpected victory of Qingyuan Marquis Mansion had caused many people to lose money.
Jinzhu and Jiangpo made an appointment with Zhao Xueqing to go and collect the silver happily, feeling refreshed.
Chai Bin was full of anger, but he was willing to give in to someone who was stronger than him.
It just damaged his own and the Chai family's reputation, which made him feel depressed.
Emperor Qianwu's eyes fell on Zhao Baopeng, who was covered in blood, and he said in a deep voice: "You are brave and commendable, not bad!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Baopeng expressed his gratitude.
"reward!"
As Emperor Qianwu finished speaking, his personal eunuch Wang Xi said loudly: "Reward the captain of the Longxiang Army, Zhao Baopeng, with a thousand taels of gold, a Haoyue bow, a hundred pieces of brocade, and a gold and jade screen..."
The rewards are similar to those of previous years, except for some minor differences, which are almost the same as before.
After the reward was given, Emperor Qianwu said no more. Mr. Zhao and Zhao Dehai could not hide their disappointment.
No matter how much Bao Kun and Bao Peng risk their lives, what does it matter?
If you can't win the emperor's favor, all your efforts will be in vain.
Apparently, the people around them also thought so and there was constant discussion.
"It seems that the Zhao family will never be able to rise to prominence. It's a pity to lose two such good descendants."
"The preservation of the Qingyuan Marquisate is already a great favor from the Emperor. It is inappropriate to ask for more."
"It's a pity that the Marquis' Mansion has been dormant for many years. Now it has made a big splash. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."
"It's hard to predict the future, all we can say is that everyone has their own destiny..."
"If I had known that I would have bet on Zhao Baopeng to win, I would have been grinning from ear to ear about the profit."
"If it weren't for the fact that the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion was in a weak position, I would really like to find a marriage for my daughter."
"..."
Zhao Baopeng walked off the field in silence, and because of his serious injuries, he walked very slowly.
There was no expression on his face, but Shen Shuyi knew him too well, so she could still see his loss and depression.
Shen Shuyi did not watch the rest of the competition. He watched the young man go straight to the distant halfway point of the mountain and sit on the ground.
Shen Shuyi walked to his side and whispered, "Are you feeling sad?"
