Chapter 424

Looking at Diao Chan's beautiful face and graceful figure, Liu Bian felt a burst of heat.

As one of the four famous beauties in history, Diao Chan's beauty naturally didn't need to be mentioned.

Coupled with the fact that she had cultivated martial arts techniques, she had reached the Postnatal Fourth Heaven realm during this period.

She herself carried a temperament of a mother of the world, looking even more dignified.

"Chan'er is here, and even prepared ginseng soup for me; I am truly moved!"

Liu Bian took Diao Chan into his arms, took the ginseng soup and drank it in one gulp, and said to Diao Chan.

"Your Majesty~"

Seeing Liu Bian's actions, Diao Chan was also shy and buried her head in Liu Bian's arms.

With Diao Chan's beautiful jade in his arms, Liu Bian felt a burst of heat in his heart; immediately, his large hands, unknowingly, were already wandering on Diao Chan's tempting high mounds.

"Your Majesty~"

Feeling Liu Bian's mischievous hands, Diao Chan immediately gave a coquettish shout.

This shout completely aroused Liu Bian's bestiality; he picked Diao Chan up by the waist and walked quickly toward the dragon bed in the back.

The next moment, a strange sound rang out in this sacred and solemn Imperial Study... (Brainstorm the rest yourself!)

Soon, the ten days Liu Bian spoke of passed in a flash; today was the day of the military competition Liu Bian spoke of.

Here, the remaining four legion commanders would be selected; the military generals of the Great Han Empire had already arrived early at the military camp drill ground outside Luoyang City.

"Zilong, with your strength, should you have a place among the four major legion commanders today?"

At this time, in the crowd below the drill ground, Wei Yan, who was with Zhao Yun, asked Zhao Yun, who was wearing white armor, in a low voice.

"It's hard to say; after all, we have cultivated for too short a time; even with the Spirit Stones provided by His Majesty, I have only just broken through to the Postnatal Third Heaven realm."

"I heard that these generals had already broken through to the Postnatal Realm long ago."

"Now that so much time has passed, their strength must be even more unfathomable!"

After hearing Wei Yan's words, Zhao Yun's handsome face also became solemn.

To tell the truth, he didn't have the certainty of victory for today's martial arts competition.

If he were given more time, he would be confident that he wouldn't be weaker than anyone.

"That's true; we cultivated too late; by the way, I don't know what realm you have cultivated to now, General Hansheng?"

Regarding Zhao Yun's words, Wei Yan nodded after hearing them, and then asked Huang Zhong on the side.

"Because the cultivation time is too short, I have also just broken through to the Postnatal Third Heaven realm; the cultivation speed is still too slow, and the cultivation time is too short!"

At this time, Huang Zhong on the side also said with regret.

"What, you broke through to Postnatal Third Heaven in such a short time, and you still complain that the cultivation is too slow; I have only just broken through to Postnatal Second Heaven!"

Seeing Huang Zhong's words, Wei Yan looked at him in disbelief.

Listen, is that human language?

They had only cultivated for more than ten days; he himself relied on the opportunity of successful cultivation techniques to break through to Postnatal First Heaven in one fell swoop.

Then, with the help of Spirit Stones, he was able to break through to Postnatal Second Heaven in such a short time.

And Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's own strength was already stronger than his, but being able to break through to Postnatal Third Heaven fully demonstrated their powerful talent.

With such speed, Huang Zhong was still dissatisfied, complaining that the cultivation was too slow; how was he, a Postnatal Second Heaven, supposed to live!

"You say, which four generals will win the four major legion commanders this time?"

At this time, many soldiers in the army were also gathered in groups of three or five to discuss with each other.

"I think General Guan Yu should have a chance; his third brother General Zhang Fei should also be able to; I don't know about General Ma Chao, but seeing him often spar with these two, he should also have a chance."

"I think General Ma Chao should also be able to..."

For a time, everyone started talking about the generals they supported, and the atmosphere at the scene instantly rose.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Just as everyone was discussing, Liu Bian's figure appeared on the high platform of the drill ground.

Liu Bian was wearing a purple-gold dragon robe, standing majestically on the high platform, scanning everyone below with sharp eyes.

Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng immediately shouted to the soldiers with his sharp voice.

In an instant, the entire drill ground became quiet; everyone knelt on the ground neatly and shouted in unison:

"Pay respects to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live ten thousand years!"

That deafening sound rang out as if it were going to pierce the sky.

Liu Bian looked at the Great Han soldiers kneeling and saluting below, and an infinite heroic spirit arose in his heart.

Seeing him come to the front of the high platform, stretching out his hands and lifting them slightly, the Innate True Qi in his dantian circulated, and he said slowly:

"My soldiers of the Great Han Empire, rise!"

Although Liu Bian's voice was not loud, it clearly rang in the ears of every soldier.

"Thank Your Majesty!"

After everyone stood up, they all looked at Liu Bian with fiery eyes.

"I suppose you all know why I appeared here today!"

After everyone stood up, Liu Bian said to everyone with a majestic voice.

"That's right, today is the day of the military competition I set; the final four winners, I will personally confer them as commanders of the remaining four major Divine Beast Legions of our Great Han Empire."

"The Divine Beast Legions will be the main legions of our Great Han Empire from now on, so their commanders must also be the strongest martial generals of our Great Han Empire to serve."

"The referees for this martial arts competition will be served by the commander of the Shenwu Legion, General Lü Bu, and the commander of the Xuanwu Legion, General Zhang Liao."

As Liu Bian's voice fell, Lü Bu and Zhang Liao, standing under the high platform, immediately boarded the high platform.

After the two boarded the platform, they first cupped their hands and saluted Liu Bian respectfully, then looked at the crowd under the platform, with Lü Bu taking the lead and saying:

"Everyone, thanks to His Majesty's trust, this military competition will be served by General Zhang Liao and myself as referees."

As Lü Bu and Zhang Liao boarded the platform, Liu Bian waved his hand at the crowd and said majestically:

"Without further ado, I look forward to your performance; next, I announce that the military competition officially begins!"

After successfully raising everyone's emotions, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction and returned to the high platform, to the seat prepared for him.

Seeing Liu Bian announce the start, Zhang Liao and Lü Bu looked at each other, nodded to each other, and saw Lü Bu wave his hand, a table appeared, with several lottery buckets on it.

"For the sake of fairness, this competition will be conducted by drawing lots for two-on-two duels."

"The winner will enter the next round of duels, the loser will be eliminated, until the final four are decided."

"Now, please come to the platform to draw lots!"

After Lü Bu introduced the competition rules, he shouted loudly to the participants below.
