The sound of drums is a sign that the hunting event will begin soon. The hunting event this time was smaller than the hunting that Ziyan had seen before.
Ziyan was shocked as two people advanced to the center of the field. He blinked his eyes several times to make sure what he saw was true.
' What is my husband and Arthur doing in the middle of the field. ' Inner ziyan.
Without Ziyan knowing, before the event began. Wang yi talked with Sima shao to open the hunting event with a small duel. As a reason, he revealed that his bodyguards were hoping to compete with Sima rui. Unsuspecting, Sima shao agreed just like that. After all, he was convinced that his son could not lose.
And here at last, Sima rui faced Arthur.The two men held their respective swords. There was no sense of tension that the two men felt. What they feel is the encouragement to quickly finish the game with a victory.
" remember! If you lose. You have to part with Gaia. " Said Arthur.
" You better focus on winning the game. I don't want you to cry regretting your defeat. " Ejek Sima rui's.
" Stop talking. We better start the game. " Disconnect Arthur.
" absolutely. And I'll make sure you lose less than ten moves. " Sima rui said then walked backwards giving the two a distance.
Both put horses. Arthur who had been getting sword training in the duke's residence since childhood was sure that his abilities would not lose to Sima rui.
The fight began. Arthur immediately went to attack Sima rui. The sword he was swinging right in front of the man who was his enemy. But easily Arthur's attack can be held. Sima rui snapped his sword making Arthur retreat a few steps back. Arthur, who was shocked to get such a powerful push, could only withstand the rate of thrust by thrusting the sword into the ground. He did not expect Sima rui to have such great power.
Just the first step, actually Arthur can see the difference in their strength. But he still denied and chose to continue the match.
Arthur again makes an attacking move, but again the attack can be easily tackled by Sima rui. Failing to attack through the front, Arthur rotates and attacks from behind. Arthur's sword slash almost hit Sima rui's neck. But quickly Sima rui lowered his head and managed to dodge and then he gave a kick to Arthur's stomach. Made the blue-eyed man's body crash. Sima rui without waiting for his enemy to rise, immediately darted and pointed his sword right at Arthur's neck.
Arthur, who was still knocked down, was stunned as soon as he felt the cold iron scratch his neck slightly. Only then did Arthur feel a slight pain that signaled his neck was injured. Sima rui's speed in moving made Arthur who received Sima rui's kick did not have time to react.
The feeling of being defeated so easily by Sima rui made Arthur feel like a loser. From the beginning, he was so confident that he could defeat him. But in reality, he made himself look like a joke. The match was not more than five minutes and he had to admit a big difference in their ability.
A landslide victory for Sima Rui. All the spectators cheered in joy at their prince's victory. Sima Shao who was watching from the stands also gave applause for the success of his son. Different from wang yi who stared at his friend's pity. He knew the result would end like this. But as promised, he would let Arthur try. He knew after this that Arthur would realize that there was nothing better than Sima rui for Gaia.
Ziyan stared in admiration at her husband. I'd like ziyan to yell 'Look at that my husband. That handsome, rich and strong man is my husband. ' But he could not have done that stupid thing or people would have looked at him strangely.
" Wakeup. " Sima rui reached out his hand to help Arthur who was still sitting on the ground. Although he did not like arthur, but sima rui always competed with sportsmanship. He respected Arthur as his opponent. Know that Arthur is a warrior, so he fights with all his might without diminishing his strength.
Arthur grabbed sima rui's hand. " Thank you for taking the fight seriously. I admit my defeat. As a knight I will keep my word. I'll stay away from Gaia. " Say Arthur with a quivering voice.
It was not easy for him to say such a painful thing. He loved Gaia so much. Fifteen years is not a short time for him to let go of the woman he loves and step back. There are many things he has done and sacrificed for the woman of his heart. What he did without Gaia's knowledge.
Arthur took Sima Rui's hand and hugged the man. " Please take care of him. " Lirih Arthur said it. His hand patted Sima rui on the back as a blessing that he could finally give, albeit with a heavy heart.
Sima Rui invited Arthur to shake hands. Arthur who understood the meaning of Sima rui's hand immediately shook the hand of the man who a few minutes ago became his enemy.
" I'll look after him. He is my world. " Sima rui said seriously.
The fight ended with Sima Rui's agreement with Arthur. But what they do not know, on the tree not far from there. There were a pair of eyes that kept watching them.
" According to the rumors, you're quite a powerful prince rui. I wish I could fight with you. " Seringai xumu looked at Sima rui. His blood churned when he saw Sima rui fighting. Awakening the cruel side of xumu.
Ziyan immediately met Sima rui as soon as the man returned to the tent.
" You okay? are you hurt? " said ziyan worried about scanning her husband's entire body
" He can't hurt me. Don'worry. " Sima rui calmed his wife who looked riled up.
" It still is. That fight worried me. "
" Do you doubt my abilities? " Tanya Sima rui's.
" I'm not worried because I doubt your abilities. But because your opponent is Arthur. Even though it looks ordinary. But his ability is quite great. I'm afraid you're hurt. " Enhanced ziyan.
" But unfortunately your worries are not proven. " Sima rui then stroked the top of ziyan's head. " You're pregnant, don't worry too much. I don't want those negative feelings to affect our child. "
Ziyan nodded in response.
The hunt has finally begun.
Not many people attended the event. And for this time the participants are free to hunt any animal. As soon as the sound of the drums echoed. All the participants immediately rode horses into the forest.
" Hey, come here. Sit with me. " Ziyan patted the bench next to her that was empty.
Chufeng complied and sat down next to his cousin's brother. Chufeng came for Yelu. As Yelu's fiancee, he will receive the results of the man who is good at trading.
" Congratulations on her pregnancy, sister. "
" Thank you. How is everyone in the Mo residence? "
" We're all good. Even your uncles and aunts are so happy when they hear about your pregnancy. " Light Chufeng.
Ziyan had not been able to meet his parents. Understandably, Arthur's troubles yesterday kept him busy. Not to mention his job as a time-consuming zi boss. And now it's her pregnancy that starts making her sick every morning.
" I'm sorry I haven't been able to visit there. Please convey my regrets to them. "
" absolutely. We all know that my brother is busy. Uncle has also lately looked very busy. " Chufeng report.
" What's going on? was there a problem. "ziyan's forehead shriveled at Chufeng's statement.
" Sister don't worry. Uncle was only busy because of the construction of a village east of the capital that was hit by a landslide last week. It looks like the damage from the landslide was quite severe "
Hearing the father's work is quite a lot, making Ziyan quite sad because it can not help.
" Don't be sad. Brother's help yesterday has helped uncle a lot. " Chufeng said when he saw the sad face of ziyan.
Ziyan did send some food and medicine, while Sima rui deployed dozens of his soldiers as additional reinforcements. Back because of his busyness, he could not jump directly to help the father.
Ziyan was grateful that Chufeng's attitude had not changed at all since he knew about ziyan's other identity as zi's boss. And that makes the relationship of the two does not change.
Inside the forest, Sima rui saw a huge tiger. He wanted to make a blanket of tiger skin for his son. Sima rui's arrow was aiming at the tiger. As soon as it was locked, he immediately slid his arrow and,
Jem!
Stabbing right in the heart of a tiger.
Sima rui gushed down from his horse about to pick up the body of the tiger that had been sprawled. Suddenly, a rock shot towards him. Sima rui dodged. He could see the hollow trunk of the tree because of the stone. If he was a little too late to avoid it could be his head will be hollow.
Sima Rui heard the sound of footsteps. He turned his head and saw a man with a smiling face walking towards him.
" Who are you? " Tanya Sima rui looked at the man.
" I'm Xumu. Let's go fight. " Xumu immediately said his goal, which was to invite Sima rui to a duel.
" I'm not interested in fighting you. " Sima rui ignored xumu and again walked up to his hunting tiger.
" Your wife turned out to be very light. She weighed like a feather when I carried her. I doubt whether the prince's residence is food-strapped until your wife is so thin. " Xumu fishing rod. He remembered when he held the tiny body of Ziyan.
Sima rui's steps instantly came to a halt, his gaze piercing directly at xumu. He did not care about the insults for his residence. The main point of his anger was how dare the man touch his wife.
After hearing his wife called, Sima rui's memories drifted back when she and Sima Dan made an ambush. Ziyan said that there was another Sujin colleague named Xumu who had not been found.
" So you're xumu, the man who kidnapped my wife. " Sima rui's cold face seemed to be able to make the ambient temperature drop to freezing point.
Xumu's smile still adorned his face. But when the question was thrown out, the smile finally turned into a cold face.
" Your wife almost sold it. The price is not too high. " Hina xumu's.
Sima Rui sets boundaries that no one should ever cross. And that's his wife. Whoever dares to cross that line, Sima Rui does not hesitate to destroy it. Therefore, the fate of xumu was already in Sima rui's head. And death will be the gift that he gives the man.
After looking at each other in a gripping tension as if reading each other's minds. The two without any cue instantly moved forward simultaneously. Two swords clashed against each other. Replying to each other's kicks and punches. Both movements are equally strong. Even both their power and speed were balanced.
This time Sima rui did a kick along with his sword that held back the xumu sabetage. So powerful was Sima rui's kick that xumu took a few steps back. If it was someone else, it would have drifted far away.
The two walked around, locking each other with their respective gazes. Observe every opponent's move.
" Not bad. I finally found a balanced opponent. " sniffles xumu. His blood grew increasingly turbulent impatiently wanting to immediately defeat the man in front of him right now.
