But at this moment, the people of Nanzhao Kingdom seemed to be used to it, and even felt that Princess Yongping was meddling a little.
Li Xiang and Su Dingfang looked at each other. Both of them didn't know what kind of country this was. It was really a big country with all kinds of strange things. But since the people here didn't take it seriously, we should take it even less seriously. Su Dingfang originally wanted to fight for Li Xiang, but Li Xiang stopped him with his eyes. When it is time to show our strength, we will never be stingy with this opportunity.
"Don't worry, Princess. Lord Duan and I are relatives, so nothing will go wrong."
Princess Yongping nodded gratefully after hearing Li Xiang's words. What she feared most was that this kind of private competition might very likely turn into a dispute between the two countries, especially when the other party was the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. Now after hearing Li Xiang's words, Princess Yongping felt relieved.
You are already dissatisfied with your man because he is not considerate at all. Look at the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. In terms of status, he is many times higher than you. He can think of explaining to you, but you don't even have an explanation.
Princess Yongping looked helplessly at her younger sister in the distance. They were born of the same parents, but their fates were so different. If she could marry to Chang'an, she would find such a considerate young man, who would be much better than the man next to her. Since she married Duan Hai, she had been worrying about Duan Hai's temper for countless days, but she couldn't even get a word of goodness from him.
For safety reasons, various weapons were not used in the end. This was also the order of the King of Nanzhao. He wanted Li Xiang to know that there were also powerful people in Nanzhao. This was also his idea.
Although the Nanzhao Kingdom admired the Tang Dynasty, it did not mean that everything had to be put first by the Tang Dynasty. There was nothing wrong with having some opposing voices or a thorn in the side. Although this was not arranged in advance, the King of Nanzhao also felt that it was acceptable for such a temporary situation to occur.
Prince Zhennan squinted his eyes and watched all this.
The relationship between the royal family and Li Xiang is getting better and better, which is not a good sign. During this period, he has been thinking about establishing contact with Li Xiang, but Li Xiang is slippery, like a loach. He took everything he should take, but did not even give him a chance to meet privately.
Su Dingfang and others had nothing to worry about Li Xiang's ability. They had known Li Xiang's ability for a long time. The guy in front of them had the combat power of 20 people at most, which was equivalent to being able to tie with Li Xiang half a year ago. If Li Xiang wanted to beat him now, it would only take a cup of tea at most.
Duan Hai is relatively large in size and punches with great force, so Li Xiang kept dodging at the beginning. This guy has good attack power. If he is hit by him, 30% of his combat effectiveness will be gone immediately.
However, Li Xiang soon realized that the opponent was purely practicing external force. After persisting for a period of time, he would soon be unable to hold on. Only a cup of tea had passed, and this guy's fist was not as powerful as before.
If it were any other occasion, these young people present would probably cheer, because on the surface, Li Xiang was beaten back step by step by Duan Hai and had no power to fight back at all, but the Prince of Zhennan and some old people frowned.
On the surface, it seemed that Li Xiang was losing ground, but in fact, his retreat was in an orderly manner and it could not be called a defeat at all. Moreover, Duan Hai was already out of breath, while Li Xiang's face was not red and he was not out of breath. It was obvious that he had not yet shown his true ability. The two were simply not on the same level.
After a few more rounds, Duan Hai's attack had dropped by nearly half. He began to get anxious at this moment. He had already swung out three axes, but unfortunately he still couldn't hurt Li Xiang at all. Instead, he himself could not hold on any longer.
"ah……"
Duan Hai suddenly threw a powerful punch. Li Xiang knew that the opportunity had come. In order to make such a man fail, he had to defeat him with his strongest move. After this move, Duan Hai probably didn't have the strength to continue attacking.
The two men exchanged punches on the stage. Anyone who was close could feel that the punch was quite powerful.
Duan Hai couldn't stand steadily at all and retreated five or six steps. Li Xiang didn't stand still either, but pretended to retreat two or three steps. However, his body did not fluctuate. After Duan Hai retreated five or six steps, he sat down on the ground.
Li Xiang's acting skills are still good, making people feel that he has used up all his strength. However, Princess Yongping saw it very clearly. Although Princess Yongping did not understand martial arts, she saw that there was not a drop of sweat on Li Xiang's forehead, which means that he was saving face for her husband.
"Stop, stop. This punch hurts. What kind of boxing skills do you usually use? My fist against yours is like hitting a rock."
Before Duan Hai could speak, Li Xiang waved his hand first. Duan Hai was best at this powerful punch. Normally, if others praised him, they probably wouldn't praise him enough. He wanted to continue fighting, but when he saw Li Xiang rubbing his fists, Duan Hai smiled.
"To be honest, Your Highness, I haven't mastered anything except my fist. I've broken countless sandbags with my punches."
Duan Hai stood up embarrassedly, feeling very satisfied in his heart. Although he had just been defeated, he did not fight to the end after all, which meant that he still had a certain amount of strength. Moreover, it was Li Xiang who stopped the fight. The opponent also praised his iron fist. Whether it was face or substance, he got it. Princess Yongping and high-ranking officials of Nanzhao Kingdom next to him also breathed a sigh of relief. This was a very good result.
Prince Zhennan and a group of old men also gave thumbs up in their hearts. Who couldn't see the situation just now? It was obvious that Duan Hai was no match for Li Xiang, but Li Xiang did not bully the weak. Instead, he adopted this kind of method to end the situation, which was considered to be very considerate of Duan Hai.
"No wonder your punch is so powerful. If there was a tiger in front of you, I think you could kill it with this punch. Then I'll be the loser. After the banquet, I'll have General Su take you to pick 10 horses."
What Li Xiang said was true. Duan Hai's iron fist was indeed powerful, but it wasn't powerful enough to defeat Li Xiang. Now that Li Xiang had conceded defeat, he had won the hearts of those around him. They all understood what was going on and admired Li Xiang's character. After all, he was the heir to the Celestial Empire...
