Chapter 187: Winning Li Shui in a Sword Test
General Li Tong's two grandsons, Li Shui and Li Tu, were testing their sword skills, and the two of them were practicing swordsmanship back and forth, Mo Xingyao looked at the appearance of the two of them practicing swords, and felt that it was boring, so he turned around and walked to the corner of the front yard, admiring the strange potted plants in the corner, competing to bloom flowers.
After Li Shui and Li Tu competed for three rounds, Li Shui still had the upper hand, Li Shui put away his long sword and hugged Li Tu, next to him, the civil and military officials, the princes and nobles of the sons and brothers hugged their fists and congratulated Li Shui, "Major General Li Shui, it's really powerful, in these short three rounds, you can see that Major General Li Shui's skills cannot be underestimated, this long sword looks really good, the silver light is shining, and it is a good sword at a glance." ”
"Your vision is not bad, this sword, but my grandfather ordered the best swordsmith in Chang'an City to build it for me, and it took more than a month to build it, and the iron was sharpened like clay, and it was extremely sharp."
"Such a good sword, I heard that the young general of General Mo's Mansion was not born yet, and the emperor gave him a Xingyue Sword, and I really haven't seen the demeanor of the Xingyue Sword, hey, today's princess's gift, is the young general of General Mo's Mansion here?", "Young General Mo, isn't he just standing there, you see, the person standing in the corner is." ”
Li Shui heard the whispers of these boys, and then looked at Mo Xingyao, who was standing in the corner with his back to him, since he was eight years old, the emperor gave a banquet in the Taihe Palace, entered the palace, and ate at a table, but he hadn't seen him for many years.
Li Shui saw that the rest of the sons and buddies came forward to congratulate him and slap him, but Mo Xingyao stood in the corner with his hands behind his back, ignoring the appearance of things outside the window, he always looked like this, and it made people angry when he saw it, looking at the sword on his waist, it was the Xingyue Sword specially given by the emperor, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to attack the Xingyue Sword.
Mo Xingyao turned his head, grabbed Li Shui's wrist and pushed him out fiercely, Li Shui was pushed by Mo Xingyao, and took a few steps back, and when he finally stood still, Li Shui looked carefully at Mo Xingyao who turned around.
I saw that he was wearing a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair and inlaid treasures on his head, his eyebrows were tied to the two dragons to grab pearls and gold to wipe his forehead, he was wearing a two-color gold hundred butterflies and big red arrow sleeves, and he was tied with a multicolored silk knot and a long spike palace silk, and he was covered with a stone blue flower eight regiments of wreath forging spike gowns.
Wearing the blue satin foundation boots, the face is like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the color is like the flower of spring dawn, the temples are like a knife, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, the face is like peach petals, the eyes are like autumn waves, a good jade tree in the wind, the sword eyebrows are starry, and the young general Mo heard the admiration of the rest of the sons and sisters for Mo Xingyao, Li Shui was even more angry, this Mo Xingyao, why did he rob him of the scenery everywhere, just like when he was eight years old, because he was sitting on the table, the princess didn't even look at herself.
"Major General Mo, since I was eight years old, I haven't seen you for many years, I'm really lucky." Li Shui hugged his fist at Mo Xingyao, pretending to greet him, Mo Xingyao looked at Li Shui carefully, and just heard the crowd call him Major General Li, could it be that this is General Li Tong's grandson, Li Shui, I have always heard that the two grandsons of General Li Tong are neither big nor small, and there are no rules, and this is true when I saw it today.
Suddenly attacked him, wanting to take the sword on his waist, this is not a rule that should be had, but thinking about it in front of everyone, he took the initiative to greet him, he can't be petty, thinking that Mo Xingyao also hugged Li Shui, "I have heard the name of Major General Li for a long time, Major General Li Shui, I haven't seen you for so many years, and now you are used to drinking mare's milk." ”
When Li Shui heard Mo Xingyao's words, a trace of anger surged up on his face, but in less than a second, he changed his smile again, "Let General Mo make fun of me, this mare's milk, I am still the same as when I was a child, I am still not used to drinking, but now it is better, and it is not as good as when I was a child, I have to spit it out after taking a sip." ”
Li Shui felt that Mo Xingyao's words were completely making fun of him drinking mare's milk when he was a child, he was ignorant at that time, and he immediately squirted out of his mouth after taking the first sip of mare's milk at the banquet, and the princess frowned at him frequently, this general, marching and fighting, eating and lodging, there is no dry food and hot tea to eat and drink, and when he is thirsty, he will lie directly under the horse and drink fresh mare's milk, if a general can't drink mare's milk, it means that this general is still a little lacking in blood.
Frost Butterfly saw that Li Shui actually took the initiative to provoke Mo Xingyao, thinking that this matter would definitely not give up easily, she had also heard of Li Shui's arrogance in the palace, Frost Butterfly hurriedly raised her little feet and ran towards the princess's Taiming Palace, and she had to tell the princess the news quickly.
Frost Butterfly ran to the Taiming Palace breathlessly, pushed open the palace door, Tang Yini saw the panting Frost Butterfly, and hurriedly reprimanded slightly, "Frost Butterfly, you see that you don't understand the rules more and more, you are so panicked in the palace, you have to chew the root of your tongue when you are seen by others, what's the matter, Brother Yao is not in the front yard, what happened outside, let you come to see me with such an anxious look?"
Frostdie hurriedly closed the door of the house, walked to the princess, patted her chest, stabilized her breath and said, "Princess, something is wrong, Brother Yao is in the front yard." Tang Yini was overjoyed when she heard Frost Butterfly's words, and then tapped Frost Butterfly's forehead with her finger, "Brother Yao is in the front yard, why is it a big deal, look at your mouth, it's really underbeating." ”
"Princess, I haven't finished talking yet, that Li Shui is also there, I saw him suddenly attack the Xingyue Sword of Major General Mo, he must have bad intentions." Tang Yini heard Frost Butterfly say this, and hurriedly asked again, "Did you let Li Shui get the Xingyue Sword, what happened later, you can tell me quickly!" ”
"Princess, fortunately, Major General Mo was alert, grabbed Li Shui's wrist and threw him away, and then I hurriedly ran back, I thought about telling the princess about it, and then I didn't know what happened." Frostbutterfly saw that the princess got up after hearing her words, and was about to go out, so she hurriedly stopped the princess.
"Princess, what are you doing, you must not go to the front yard, if the princess is still a child, it doesn't matter, today is the princess's gift, from today on, the princess has become a real woman, but you must not break into those men's pile, and the princess is delicate, how can she go to the front yard to see those ordinary people."
Frost Butterfly stood in front of the princess, and persuaded the princess only to blame herself for talking too much, if this matter was known by the queen, she might be scolded by the cane, and now she must stop the princess, this princess broke into the front yard, what kind of system can it become.
"Frost Butterfly, you are bold now, you dare to stop this princess." Tang Yini pushed the frost butterfly away, the frost butterfly looked up, and hurriedly grabbed the princess again, "Princess, the slave maid suddenly remembered, the second floor of the Yunyu Palace, the small hall of the Taihe Palace, standing on it, just can see the front yard of the entire Taihe Hall without dead ends, the front yard is downstairs in the Yunyu Palace, or the princess moves to the Yunyu Palace?"
The princess looked at Frost Butterfly, thinking that what she said was not reasonable, she had just finished today, and ran to the front yard full of men, even if there were all kinds of reasons, it was not what she should do, she lifted her skirt, and walked to the Cloud Feather Palace, and so climbed to the second floor, sure enough, as Frost Butterfly said, downstairs is the front yard, Frost Butterfly hurriedly pulled over the beauty couch, pushed open the carved window, Tang Yini sat on the beauty couch, and watched what happened in the front yard from top to bottom.
Brother Yao hadn't seen him for many years, he had grown so tall all of a sudden, he was standing among the many men, Tang Yini recognized him with a face, his figure was tall and slender, and his aura was lofty, as soon as she saw Brother Yao's face, she couldn't help but plop and speed up her beating.
"Major General Mo, I heard that you are strong in martial arts, and your swordsmanship is also superb, riding horses and archery, and you are proficient in everything, but you really have to be an example for me and others, this star and moon sword rewarded by the emperor is exquisite when you look at it, but we have never seen the appearance of the star and moon sword drawn out, can we let us ordinary people open our eyes today, let us see this star and moon sword."
Mo Xingyao heard Li Shui say this, carefully considered his words, saw that he said sincerely, and some of the sons and brothers next to him also coaxed there, thinking that it would not hurt to pull it out and let them see it, and he was quite cautious in handling things in the palace, because if he was not careful, he would become a talking handle, and it didn't matter if he was reduced to a talking handle, the various forces in the court were fighting cross-fighting, and on the surface it looked calm, but secretly it was extremely cruel.
Mo Xingyao pulled out the Xingyue Sword from the scabbard, only to see a flash of cold light, the sword body was dark iron and thin, with a faint cold light, it was extremely sharp when it looked at, it was really a good sword, everyone looked at this Xingyue Sword, and began to talk again, it was really a good sword given by the emperor, so compared to it, Li Shui's sword made by the best craftsman in Chang'an City could not be worth mentioning at all.
"Since it's such a good sword, let's try it." Li Shui heard those sons and buddies talking there, and he was already unhappy, the Xingyue Sword was extremely thin visible to the naked eye, the thinner the sword, the sharper, in such a comparison, the sword in his hand was indeed much thicker.
Li Shui took out the long sword from the scabbard with lightning speed, and stabbed it at Mo Xingyao, everyone saw Li Shui draw the sword, and they all dodged to the side to watch, this sword has no eyes, but don't hurt yourself.
Seeing this, the princess Tang Yini hurriedly stood up from the beauty couch, and snorted softly in her mouth, this Li Shui is really bold, he is really a person who is stealing and playing tricks, and when Brother Yao is not paying attention, he stabbed the sword over, Tang Yini clenched his little fists and looked at Brother Yao below nervously.
Mo Xingyao saw Li Shui's long sword stabbing at him, and hurriedly dodged, picking up the Xingyue Sword, the sword was like a white snake spitting letters, hissing through the wind, and like a dragon shuttling, walking in all directions, sometimes light as a swallow, pointing the sword up, sometimes suddenly like lightning, and the fallen leaves collapsed. It is really a silver light in the courtyard, and thousands of miles have swallowed the blood of the Huns.
The silver sword danced wildly, Mo Xingyao and Li Shui mixed together, everyone only heard the sound of fighting, but they didn't see how to fight, the speed of the two people was extremely fast, amazing, Tang Yini nervously looked at the two people flying up and down, just wanted Mo Xingyao to quickly defeat Li Shui to end this competition.
Although she has confidence in Brother Yao, she is also afraid that Brother Yao will be injured, Li Shui's swordsmanship will be fatal at a glance, but Brother Yao's swordsmanship has been dodging in a roundabout way, presumably Brother Yao doesn't want to entangle with Li Shui.
Mo Xingyao has been blocking the grid with a horizontal sword, seeing that Li Shui not only did not stop, but the swordsmanship became more and more fierce, where is this competition, this is completely like in the battlefield, the sword takes people's lives, Mo Xingyao saw that he had detoured so many times, Li Shui was worried, and the sword move was slightly suffocated.
Li Shui's swordsmanship was originally to win quickly, more than 100 quick attacks failed to work, the sharpness of the swordsmanship was inevitably frustrated, and then the heart was differentiated, the power of the sword was greatly reduced, Mo Xingyao seized the moment when Li Shui's breathing was aggravated, knowing that he couldn't hold his breath anymore, so he turned to attack, grabbed the moment when Li Shui stabbed over, turned around, and after cutting the sleeve of Li Shui's right arm, he turned sharply behind him and put the Xingyue Sword across Li Shui's neck.
Li Shui's neck felt the coldness of the Xingyue Sword, he stood there and didn't dare to move, he lost, if he was on the battlefield, he had already been sealed by a sword, and he died with blood, and the boys standing next to him rarely saw such a wonderful competition, and when they saw that Major General Mo had won, they applauded.
