Chapter 1259: 23 Things About the Fake Emperor and the Powerful Officials
Shi Li looked at Yuan Chizhi steadily.
He stopped talking, and just stared at her without blinking, his eyes dark and deep.
After watching it for a long time, I have a special feeling.
It was as if we had crossed time and space, and were no longer in this world, but in other times and spaces, where we had looked at each other like this before.
Shi Li subconsciously clenched his hands in his sleeves and smiled, "Since you are so interested, come here and give me the sword."
The palace servant quickly presented two long swords, one to Yuan Chizhi and the other to the second prince of the Northern Kingdom.
The second prince took the sword and swung it twice lightly, laughing more arrogantly.
"Such a light sword... How boring!"
Although he said this, he also knew that Shi Li would not change his sword again, so he walked neatly into the empty field, not taking Yuan Chizhi, who was dressed as a civil official, seriously at all.
"If the sword is blind later, don't blame me..."
"It's okay, they are all unsharpened swords." Yuan Chizhi was gentle and polite, but interrupted him directly.
The second prince simply sneered, and the next second he stabbed Yuan Chizhi with his sword.
Shi Li, like everyone else present, focused her gaze and attention on the two of them.
She knew very well that since Yuan Chizhi asked her for the sword, he would definitely not be at a disadvantage.
But amidst the flashing of swords, his fingers could not relax for a long time, and his heart was even more nervous. The only thing he could do was not to show his joy at all, and even to calmly pick up the glass and drink lightly.
Seeing how calm he was, the ministers gradually put down their nervous minds.
As the wine flowed, the second prince was defeated step by step, while Yuan Chizhi was at ease, as if he had really become a martial artist to liven up the banquet.
The emperor and his ministers in the room trampled on his pride and face without saying a word.
The second prince became more and more angry. He did not hold any chance for his men, but he could not gain any benefit from Yuan Chizhi. He changed his mind and took advantage of the sword's tip being deflected by Yuan Chizhi to raise his sword and swing it at Shi Li.
He was still some distance away from Shi Li, and indeed had no intention of assassinating him. He just felt that he had been humiliated. If he could scare Shi Li into losing his composure, then his face would be restored.
Who knew that Shi Li just watched him coming with sword raised, unmoved at all.
The second prince became furious and walked closer and closer.
Then, another unsharpened sword hit his face hard. The cold weight was like a slap in the face, and the pain was piercing.
Without waiting for him to react, Yuan Chizhi's sword moved down again and blocked his neck directly, making him dare not move another step.
Although the sword was not sharpened, the force was enough to cut his neck.
The second prince felt the murderous intent released from the sword, and was frozen in place as if frozen, with the hairs on his body standing on end.
"Swords have no eyes, don't mind it, Prince." After fighting for such a long time, Yuan Chizhi's face did not turn red and he was not out of breath. He spoke as if he was teasing a child, and his words were gentle and polite.
If the Second Prince had not seen the strong warning and murderous intent in his eyes.
"You... who are you?" The second prince just remembered at this time and asked his opponent's identity and name.
Yuan Chizhi slowly lowered the sword, without any unnecessary movements throughout the process.
"Yuan Chizhi."
When the second prince heard it, his pupils tightened instantly and cold sweat slowly flowed down his forehead.
He never expected that the terrifying young man in front of him was the man who had captured three armies in the north and forced his father to surrender.
He is so young!
"Prince, your sword dance is indeed very exciting. I give you this glass of wine."
Shi Li was sitting at the top, and seeing that the time was almost right, he simply raised his glass and signaled the Second Prince from a distance.
This action made the second prince feel completely ashamed.
He looks like a clown.
The second prince lowered his head, gritted his teeth and thanked the emperor for his grace, then returned to his seat dejectedly.
Yuan Chi took two steps back, handed the long sword he had just used back to the palace maid, and bowed to Shi Li in a very standard manner.
When they raised their heads, their eyes met again.
Shi Li finally couldn't help but frowned worriedly.
At the same moment, Yuan Chizhi smiled broadly.
