What Li Sanlang said when he left, Gao Jian truthfully brought it back to Princess Taiping. "Bang" was the sound of a tea cup breaking to the ground, Princess Taiping trembled with anger, she had never suffered today's humiliation since she was a child, and she was so embarrassed by a yellow-haired boy in her early twenties, in addition to anger, more of her arrogant self-esteem was trampled on. Under the anger of Taiping, Gao Jian no longer dared to say more, and stood aside quietly, except for Li Sanlang and Li Ke, he was the only witness to today's events, Li Sanlang and Li Ke had no way to deal with Princess Taiping at the moment, but this Gao Jian was very likely to become the object of Taiping's venting, and he would become a scapegoat as long as he was careless.

After a long time, Taiping's mood calmed down a little, and he looked at Gao Jian and said sharply, "Why are you so incompetent? Li Sanlang has a master like Li Ke next to him, but why is there such a wreck around this palace? What had been planned for a long time disappeared in an instant! ”

As soon as Taiping said this, Gao Jian dared to contradict him, and quickly knelt on the ground, crying and said: "The princess forgives her sins, it is Gao Jian's incompetence!" But Gao Jian's loyalty to the princess is evident from the sun and the moon! Gao Jian's words were nothing more than an attempt to divert Taiping's attention by expressing his loyalty.

But how could Gao Jian's trick not be known, and continued to say angrily: "What's the use of you just being loyal? In the end, it's not as good as others' three punches and two kicks! ”

Gao Jian knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't dare to defend more, and whispered: "Don't worry, princess, fortunately, there is still tomorrow... ”

Gao Jian didn't say that it was okay, but this statement ignited Taiping's anger again in an instant: "What do you know? If it is done today, it will be the work of one person in this palace, but tomorrow it will be done, then you need to share the world with others, don't you know about this matter? Taiping paused, and continued: "Besides, you have heard it today, and Li Ke has already suspected the matter of Keduo to the head of this palace, do you think this matter can be succeeded so easily?" ”

Gao Jian wanted to comfort Taiping, but he didn't expect it to make him even more angry, and he didn't dare to say more for a while, so he just slammed his head on the ground and couldn't cry. Seeing this, Taiping also relented for a while, so his tone softened, and said: "That's it, it's not all your fault for this matter!" Fang Cairu found out that Li Ke was eavesdropping outside, which can be regarded as meritorious, otherwise the plan will be known to others, and it will be a catastrophe! As soon as Taiping said this, Gao Jian actually cried even more, and Taiping said impatiently: "Calm down, this palace has already said that you are not to blame!" ”

Taiping said this, Gao Jian's heart finally let go of his throat, so he put away his crying and slowly stood up. Taiping continued: "What are you still standing here for? Don't hurry up and prepare for tonight and tomorrow! If there is a bad pool, this palace will never spare you! ”

Gao Jian hurriedly wiped a handful of tears, bowed down, and replied, "Oh! Then he cautiously retreated.

It is said that Li Sanlang took everyone back to the Yulin Army camp, and as soon as he entered the general's tent, several generals and dozens of rescued people immediately knelt on the ground, crying and said: "The two benevolent fathers save each other, we are toothless and unforgettable, please accept our worship!" ”

Seeing this, Li Sanlang and the others hurriedly helped up the kneeling people and said: "With a show of hands, everyone is safe, and the two of us dare not take credit!" ”

Huan Yanfan slowly got up and said: "The two great virtues, I remember it in my heart, if he can use it in the future, I will not give up!" After saying that, he wanted to kneel down again, but Li Sanlang hurriedly grabbed him and helped him up.

Jinghui continued: "I don't thank you for your kindness, and so does I, Jinghui, if you need it, you have no words! ”

After the two of them spoke, all the generals also echoed together, and the words of thanks continued, Li Sanlang immediately walked to the middle of the crowd, bowed to everyone, and said: "Everyone, Li Sanlang is here to thank you!" My dynasty has always ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness, and today's Taiping princess did such a thing, which is indeed despicable, and the two of us are just seeing unevenness on the road and doing the right thing for heaven, I hope you don't thank you again, otherwise Li Sanlang can't afford it today! ”

Li Sanlang is modest and modest, and his achievements are not arrogant, and his words are even more admired by the soldiers, and Li Ke is happy for him in his eyes; Li Sanlang looked at the sky outside the tent, it was almost the time of the unitary, so he said: "Everyone, go and change your clothes and freshen up, the time of unitary is coming, we will be ordered to enter the palace together to watch the ceremony and the martial decision, if it is too late, Your Majesty will be to blame!" ”

The crowd looked at each other and shouted, "Whoa! And he withdrew from the tent. After Li Sanlang saw everyone leaving, he asked Li Ke in a low voice: "Is Pei Min sure about today's martial arts?" ”

Li Ke nodded lightly and replied: "Pei Min is the top master in the world, I expect that he should be worry-free!" ”

Li Sanlang asked, and he had confidence in his heart, so he said: "Then there is work!" Thou shalt go ahead and inform the prince of today's events, and I will be there with you later!" Li Ke arched his hand and replied, "Oh! Then he withdrew from the tent and went straight to the palace.

At the right time, Li Ke rushed to the palace, Pei Min, Yuewa, and Xiao Taibai were already waiting outside the palace gate, and when they saw Li Ke, they greeted him, and Li Ke saluted Pei Min and said: "This time there is Brother Lao Pei!" ”

Pei Min smiled indifferently, waved his hand, and replied, "Brother Li, what are you talking about?" You must be so polite between you and me? In fact, Pei is also willing to participate in this competition. ”

When Pei Min said this, Li Ke couldn't help but be a little surprised, and replied suspiciously: "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Pei Min smiled again and said: "I am tired of competing with Brother Li all day long, and this time I can finally play tricks with masters from all walks of life!" Pei Min said, the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the palace gate together.

Li Ke took out the token of Long Ansi and handed it to the guards for inspection, the guards looked at Li Ke, then at Pei Min, and suddenly looked at Pei Min with a happy face and asked, "Could it be that you are the sword saint who was canonized at the Royal Racecourse that day?" Pei Min thought that this guard must have been present that day, and Pei Min was a little embarrassed when he said this, so he could only smile and nodded.

The guards confirmed Pei Min's identity, and said with some excitement: "The Sword Saint participates, it must be the championship, and I hope to win glory for our dynasty!" After that, without waiting for Pei Min to reply, he hurriedly waved his hand and let go; Pei Min and Li Ke glanced at each other, smiled at each other, and entered the palace.

The ring of the martial arts is set up outside the fairy hall, it is square, the ring is placed on the red carpet, the ring is about one person high, the sides around are about five zhang long, about two zhang away from the ring, there are stands on three sides, the stands on each side are about ten layers, the ring is equipped with a high platform, on the dragon chair, there are several eunuchs and palace maids standing behind the dragon chair, holding a pu fan, Li Ke and others arrived, although there is still a moment of time from the official start, but the stands are already full, far from the costumes, the people who watch the ceremony should be the princes and nobles and the envoys of the various domains, for a time the people are boiling!

Behind the ring on each side, a column of forbidden troops stood neatly, holding swords, solemn expressions, holding high banners, and a mighty atmosphere. Pei Min said with a smile on his face: "The momentum is really huge, but I don't know what the opponent is!" ”

Li Ke's heart is not as easy as Pei Min's, if it is a competition with a clear gun and a sword, Li Ke believes that no one in the world will be able to defeat Pei Min, but what he is worried about is Keduo, whether there will be any conspiracy in this martial arts, he can't help but secretly sweat for Pei Min, so he said to Pei Min: "Brother Pei, you must be cautious in this competition, I am worried that Keduo is cheating!" ”

Pei Min smiled indifferently and replied, "Brother Li, don't worry, Pei knows it." ”

While the two were talking, they only heard the eunuch shouting: "The prince, the prince, the king, here!" The two turned their heads to look, only to see more than ten people surrounding the prince and the Xiang Dynasty, the two of them were gorgeously dressed and magnificent, and the prince followed behind the two eunuchs who led the way, full of confidence and excellent spirits. The prince saw Li Ke and Pei Min, and hurriedly signaled everyone to stop, Li Ke, Pei Min and others stepped forward to salute, and the prince asked with a smile on his face: "Pei Daxia, are you ready!" ”

Pei Min replied: "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Prince, Pei Mou is ready, and he will go all out to live up to his mission!" ”

The prince nodded in satisfaction, and let the few of them follow the group, continuing to walk towards the ring. The prince's seat was arranged on the side of the dragon chair, the seat of the prince was next to the prince, and Li Ke and others were arranged to sit behind the prince.

After seeing the prince seated, Li Ke stepped forward to salute and bowed his head and whispered to the prince about today's events. After saying that, the prince immediately patted the desk in front of him, laughed and said, "Well done!" The king on the side didn't know what was going on, and looked at the prince with a puzzled face, and the prince smiled and said, "Brother Wang, you have a great son!" After that, the prince attached himself to Li Dan's ear and explained the matter in general, and when King Xiang heard it, he unconsciously showed joy.

Soon after, Wu Sansi and Princess Taiping also arrived successively, Princess Taiping seemed to have calmed down, but the arrogance on her face had decreased a lot, and the previous events seemed to have a great impact on it. Before leaving, Taiping glanced at Li Ke, and there was a lot of resentment in his eyes, Li Ke pretended not to see it, and he didn't move.

At this moment, thunderous cheers suddenly broke out at the entrance of the ring, and the prince and others thought that His Majesty had arrived, but when they looked closely, it was Li Sanlang who arrived with all the generals and their families. After the last time he struck a bow, Li Sanlang had established a very high prestige in the army, although today's incident has not yet spread, but the soldiers of the forbidden army and the Yulin Army saw Huan Yanfan and Jinghui respectfully following behind Li Sanlang, and they also saw the clues, and they couldn't help but see Li Sanlang as if they were heroes, constantly cheering and cheering; Li Sanlang seemed modest, and bowed all the way forward, Li Dan saw this in his eyes and was happy in his heart, but Wu Sansi and Taiping on the other side saw this scene, and their faces became blue for a while.

Li Sanlang sat down behind the prince after greeting the prince, Li Dan, Taiping, and Wu Sansi in turn, and the officers, soldiers and their families followed.

Seeing that the scheduled time for a military duel was approaching, everyone was looking forward to it.
