When the distance between the two is locked at eight feet, the ending is already doomed. After Li Shimin used the straight knife, he really brought out the characteristics of the Phantom Electric Heavenly Knife. Each knife was as swift as lightning and lightning, like a dream! much faster than when I used the iron shovel before.

In the eyes of outsiders, they can only see pieces of sword light remnants, as well as a series of weapon explosions, some people hear it, some people feel that it is four, and some people distinguish that it is eight, but none of them think that it is more than ten sounds.

And when Li Shimin's knife shadow converged, he withdrew a pair of straight knives behind him. The sleeves of the Ashinash bowl have been cut off, and there is also an extra blood mark on the wrists of the two hands.

And the face of this Turkic spy was also as earth-colored as blue.

"Lucky to win a move, conceded!"

Li Shimin threw the double knives in his hand to an embroidered guard standing next to him again, and then hugged his fist at Ashinash: "Now that the victory and defeat have been divided, please ask Your Highness the Special Service, don't say anything more about the Central Plains characters from now on." I have a lot of resources and talents, and I don't know how many people are beautiful. As far as I know, there are now several people who can keep pace with Li, or even win, and it is by no means that His Royal Highness the Special Service can underestimate them. ”

But Ashinash still couldn't come back to his senses, and he was still stunned to look at the blood marks on his hands.

And the ministers and many noble children who participated in the night banquet in the Zhenguan Hall resumed laughter after a period of silence.

"It's really beautiful! It's really worthy of Li Yitong, Li Crouching Tiger-"

"It was said that ten moves could win, but no one survived eight rounds!"

"Haha! It's ridiculous that these steppe barbarians, even if they have resorted to such a shameful scoundrel. It's still so embarrassing to lose. ”

"These barbarians of the steppe are like this, they behave like wild beasts, how do they know what the way of being a human being?"

"He is worthy of being a descendant of the martial arts Li family, and he is one of the top generals in the Eight Pillars Country. Finally give me Kansai and win back face!"

"Even the last words are joyful, which can be described as polite, courteous, and happy!"

Yu Juluo, who was at the table, also laughed, and withdrew his gaze from Li Shimin: "This kid has a good mind, like a child." ”

Zhou Fashang knew this, and the reason why he only praised Li Shimin's scheming and did not mention the latter's martial arts. It was because of this battle that this son won by a calculation that was superior to the Turkic princes, rather than relying on martial arts.

But he was quite appreciative, and drank a glass of wine in his hand: "Wouldn't it be nice to have a successor to my generation?"

In the distance of their lower seats, Wang Shichong had a calm expression, and still locked his eyes on the heroic and upright young man in the hall.

His eyes were full of inquiry and curiosity. Many people here may not have seen the end of this battle until now, but he Wang Shichong is undoubtedly not among them.

"Uncle Wang, didn't you say that Li Shimin was already doomed?

Su Yi was full of resentment, staring at the Jiangdu palace eunuch beside him: "What's going on?"

Wang Shichong secretly said in his heart that this was indeed the case, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is indeed my eyes, but I have lost my eyes, but the time for you to place your bet is before Wang Mou said those words." ”

This sentence did not make Su Yi calm his anger, but his resentment was even more intense. Wang Shichong couldn't help but secretly curse a little 'bastard' in his heart, but immediately after, he continued to excuse himself: "What's more, I also said before that if he can master the true meaning of martial arts, then he is still sure that he can defeat the enemy within ten moves." ”

"Martial arts true meaning?"

Su Yi's expression moved slightly, and he looked at the field with some suspicion: "You said that he used the true intent of martial arts just now?"

After all, he was born in a big family, and although his martial arts talent was not very good, he had seen many great masters who had mastered the true meaning, and he was confident that he could still distinguish it.

But Li Shimin just now did not show any signs of using the true intent of martial arts.

Of course, if this one really uses it, it can relieve his depressed mood a little.

"Never!"

Wang Shichong shook his head slightly: "But why is your Phantom Electric Heavenly Knife so strong and domineering? If I'm not mistaken, he must have mastered some kind of sword intent related to thunder in order to have such attainments in this sword technique,"

Speaking of this, he seemed to see through the thoughts in Su Yi's heart again, and continued to add: "It's just that I am going to disappoint you." Most of this person's martial arts true meaning is not obtained from others, but from self-realization. As for whether his true intentions were made quickly, or whether he had already mastered them, I don't know—"

Just as Wang Shichong and Su Yi were talking, Ashinash finally came back to his senses, and then looked at Li Shimin with a strange look.

"How do you know that I am going to use this method of fighting for my life?"

It wasn't until after losing that he figured out that the reason why the other party chose a pair of six-foot straight knives was precisely to prevent him from taking risks and resorting to rogue means.

"Guess!"

Li Shimin responded with a smile: "If the opponent is replaced by the Khan of Qibi, I will definitely not dare to do this." But when I read the records of His Royal Highness the secret service and people before, I know that His Highness is very gambling and has a flexible mind. A battle that can be won in a hundred moves, but it is necessary to take risks, and only use ten moves, just like today,"

He didn't mention a word, although he can be proud of his temperament and behavior like Ashinash, but in the martial arts, he will inevitably lose his sharpness, and it will be difficult to really achieve great achievements in the future.

However, the other party is not related to him, and the Turks and the Great Sui have also begun to deviate from Germany, so it is impossible for him to point out the opponent's defects in martial arts.

And even if he says it, the other party may not appreciate it, but may be annoyed and angry.

"I see!

After Ashinash Bobi praised lightly, he bowed deeply to the Son of Heaven and Empress Xiao above the throne: "This time it is indeed the foreign minister's ignorance and arrogance, today Fang Zhi's father Khan is true, and the Central Plains is indeed outstanding and heroic." ”

"Really?"

Seeing this, Yang Guang couldn't help laughing: "But the secret service is so condescending, it's really hard to be convinced." ”

"The ministers speak from the bottom of their hearts, and every word is the truth!"

Ashinash's expression was sincere: "I have won consecutive battles before, so I thought to myself, if the Great Sui Heavenly Son is full of embroidered pillows, then His Majesty's name of Heavenly Khan is not worthy of the name." But now I know that it makes sense that Your Majesty can take care of the power of the four seas and make all the clans bow down to them. The reason why the foreign ministers were able to win streaks was because the people under your command who were really capable did not disdain to deal with the foreign ministers,"

Li Shimin, who was next to him, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and looked at this person with amazing eyes. One thought is that this guy knelt so fast that he didn't hesitate at all, could this be his intention? The other thought was that the level of this secret service was really high, and his attainments were far superior to that of Li Shimin.

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he really smiled, and his eyes were full of joy. Even Empress Xiao next to her was slightly raised.

At this time, Ashinash Bobi bowed deeply to His Royal Highness Empress Xiao: "I was not inferior at the banquet of Xiao Shilang before, and the foreign ministers have been deeply disturbed for more than a month. The minister was willing to offer ten pieces of pure white mink skins and three pieces of white bear skins as reparations. I also ask Her Royal Highness the Queen to forgive the foreign ministers for their rudeness. ”

"Well, it's good if you have this heart. ”

Empress Xiao couldn't help but shake her head and laugh, at this time she had clearly seen what kind of person the Turkic prince below was, and she needed to deal with such a lazy person?

She then got up again and raised her glass to the ministers: "Here the important ministers gather, the sages gather, it is not the place where the palace should live, please feel free!"

So everyone in this hall got up one after another and bowed to Empress Xiao: "We send off Your Highness! I wish Your Highness a long life and always accompany the Holy King!"

※ ※ ※ ※

At the end of the banquet that day, Li Shimin was about to return to his own courtyard, but before he could walk out of the gate of the palace, he was stopped by Yang Ying, who was excited.

However, this little princess didn't have time to say a word to Li Shimin, and the embroidered ambassador Wang Chonggu also carried a Ming Huang holy decree and followed closely behind.

This one didn't speak, but stared at Li Shimin up and down for a long time. After that, he sighed softly: "When the old slave was in Liaodong, he had already heard of Li Erlang's reputation, and when I saw it today, I knew that it was indeed a young man." ”

Li Shimin was already waiting half-bowed, and when he heard this, he hurriedly returned modestly: "My father-in-law has a good reputation, and the boy is young and shallow, immoral and incompetent, how dare he be called a hero?"

"When he was nearly fifteen years old, he had mastered the true meaning of martial arts, and his art of war was outstanding. Li Erlang, if you can't afford to be this young hero, who else in this world can afford it?"

Wang Chonggu shook his head slightly, and then said with a little dissatisfaction: "In today's battle, Erlang, you can clearly understand the true meaning of martial arts and win easily." Why do you want to do all those tricks?"

"I just feel like I'm not going to win!"

Li Shimin didn't think about it, and replied with a wry smile: "After all, this is a quick achievement of the last general by external forces, and it cannot be regarded as his own ability." Therefore, I feel that it is unfair to defeat the enemy with the true intention of martial arts. ”

Wang Chonggu remained silent and continued to ask: "Since you feel that victory is not martial, why do you want to use external forces to comprehend the true meaning of martial arts?"

"The matter involves the national body, and it is related to the face of His Highness and the Son of Heaven, and the general cannot be careless. ”

Li Shimin's expression was slightly awe-inspiring: "Although the minister is sure to control the enemy, he does not dare to be careless. I thought that with the true intention of martial arts, even if the battle situation was not as I expected, it would be able to turn things around. ”

"That's the way to go—"

He then held up the Ming Huang Holy Decree in his hand high: "Thousands of cattle are ready, Chongwen Pavilion is waiting for Li Shimin, kneel down and listen to the decree!"
