The 12th (14th day of the first lunar month)

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised, it was inconceivable to bow to four enemies and ten before, and at this time the competition actually proposed to take one enemy ten, whether this is really the strength of this far, or the mouth is crazy, for a time the royal horse farm whispered constantly.

The female emperor broke the silence and couldn't help asking, "Are you alone?" "In the eyes of the female emperor, this person has never met, there is no way to judge the geometry of martial arts, if the competition is lost, then the previous bow is wonderful and in vain, the world will only remember the winning side, as for how to win is second. Maybe at this moment, it seems more certain to transfer a few people from the prince's account and send Chen Xuanli to fight together, which is more certain than one against ten, but after thinking about it, if this person can really fight ten with one, wouldn't it be more glorious to win, but can he really hope for the face of the Heavenly Empire on the person who invited Ying? The female emperor had doubts in her heart and couldn't help but ask.

Pei Min said loudly with confidence: "It's enough to be in the next person!" ”

Even though he said this, the female emperor couldn't help but ask again with some concern: "Are you sure?" The stakes are high! ”

Pei Min arched his hands and replied again: "I should do my best to live up to my mission!" ”

Li Sanlang naturally didn't know the bottom of his heart, he looked at Li Ke, hoping to get an answer from him, after all, this person was his friend, and he knew best; Li Ke saw Li Sanlang looking at him, so he nodded slightly, and whispered: "Please rest assured Li Sicheng!" After getting Li Ke's approval, Li Sanlang was immediately full of confidence, arched his hands, and said loudly: "Please allow Your Majesty to fight for the country!" ”

The Tibetan envoys were overjoyed to see such an opportunity, so they didn't wait for the female emperor to speak, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since they are so sure, they ask for one enemy and ten, and hope for permission!" But I have a word first, this is their own petition, if they lose, no wonder I! ”

Everyone said that this is the part, the female emperor can no longer refuse, and Li Sanlang has already opened his mouth to ask for war, so she should be completely sure, thinking of this, she said slowly: "Since this is the case, then I will allow the war!" ”

Seeing that the female emperor agreed, the Tibetan envoy was secretly proud in his heart, arched his hands, gave a salute, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" With that, he hurriedly signaled the ten people to quickly prepare for battle.

Li Sanlang was still a little uneasy in his heart, he walked up to Pei Min's side and whispered: "Sir, you must be careful, all the kingdoms of this domain are here, you must protect the face of the Heavenly Dynasty." ”

Pei Min smiled faintly and said, "Li Sicheng, please be relieved, Pei knows it." ”

Li Sanlang then asked: "What kind of weapon does Mr. make, I will prepare it quickly." ”

Pei Min looked around, picked up a broken branch from the side, and said, "Just make it." ”

Li Sanlang was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Sir, don't play with children's play, the other party is all armed with weapons, how can a broken branch match it?" ”

Without waiting for Pei Min to answer, Li Ke whispered: "Li Sicheng, don't worry, my old friend has outstanding martial arts, and he can handle it." ”

Although Li Ke said this, Li Sanlang couldn't help but be worried, but no matter how much persuasion he expected, it was useless, so he had to say: "Then there is Mr. Lao." ”

Pei Min smiled slightly, no longer spoken, and walked into the bow field with a branch in his hand, and the ten people in Tubo had already put on armor, holding swords, standing in the field, ready to fight at any time, but seeing Pei Min holding a branch to come to the competition, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, this move was too contemptuous, and he ten people wanted to hack it to death at the beginning.

Everyone in the stands also saw this scene, and they couldn't help but be shocked by Pei Min's behavior, and the Tibetan envoy finally couldn't sit still, and shouted loudly: "You are too arrogant, if you make a mistake, you will take the blame!" ”

Zhang Changzong stood on the high platform and said loudly: "Today's competition, the two sides have reached the point, and the time is a stick of incense, and the incense is placed!" As soon as he finished speaking, the forbidden army on the sidelines sounded a huge cheer, and everyone couldn't wait for this competition, especially the ten people on the Tubo field, at this moment, they couldn't wait to start dismantling the people in front of them immediately; Pei Min always smiled, not showing a trace of fear.

On the high platform, Zhang Changzong waved the flag, and the duel began! The ten people in Tubo were suddenly like wild horses on the loose, and they swarmed up and attacked Pei Min, but Pei Min did not move at all, seeing that the swords of the ten people were close at hand, Pei Min's body was low, and he suddenly lifted the branch and swept forward, and the branch accurately hit the hands of these people with knives, and the sword fell to the ground with a sound, Pei Min did not hesitate at all, jumped up and kicked directly in the chest, the force was huge, the person flew backwards in the air, and knocked over several people who followed him closely. As soon as Pei Min landed, he jumped forward with another arrow, and waved the branch in the air with the branch in his hand, which happened to hit the throats of several other people, and several people suddenly felt suffocated, covered their necks and fell to the ground; Several people were about to struggle to get up after being kicked before, but Pei Min hit a tree branch in the air with his backhand, which also hit several people in the throat, and several people fell to the ground again. In an instant, none of the ten Tubo people got up again, only lay on the ground and convulsed, because the wound was in the throat, and even the screams could not be made. Pei Min glanced around, threw the branch in his hand, and said, "Accept!" ”

There was a dead silence at the scene, all this happened too suddenly, the little eunuch who was in charge of burning incense just now didn't even have time to leave Tongding, this one-to-ten competition was actually over.

Everyone's eyes widened, they couldn't believe what happened in front of them just now, there are such profound people in the world, especially Li Sanlang, he was just shocked by Li Ke's martial arts a few days ago, he thought that Li Ke was invincible in the world, but there was another person in front of him, and martial arts were by no means under Li Ke; He secretly sighed in his heart that there were so many strange people in this world.

Finally, there was a burst of applause from the high platform of the Son of Heaven, and the person who clapped his hands was Zhang Changzong! This applause broke the dead silence of the scene, and everyone finally recovered from the shock just now, and the stands finally let out the cheers and praises of the tsunami again. The female emperor secretly wondered in her heart, the person in front of her was really a god!

After a long time, the boiling sound finally subsided, and the female emperor asked the Tibetan envoys: "Can you take this competition?" ”

The Tibetan envoy was also shocked by Pei Min's martial arts, and was speechless for a while. Wu Jiang said loudly: "Can you wait for an to be unconvinced? Fortunately, I had to use the branches of the tree to test, and if I had used the sword, I guess those ten people would have died! ”

When Wu Jiang said this, Tubo finally came back to his senses and replied in a trembling voice: "I... We are all here! ”

As soon as the Tibetan envoy finished speaking, the forbidden army shouted "Long live!" Win! This victory can be described as a big victory, far exceeding expectations, the female emperor can be said to be overjoyed, Pei Min returned to the high platform of the Son of Heaven to resume his life, the female emperor raised her hands, and the audience was suddenly quiet.

The female emperor looked at Pei Min happily and asked, "Who is your surname?" Under whom? ”

Pei Min replied: "The villain Pei Min has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and he knows himself without a teacher!" ”

The female emperor laughed loudly: "Heaven is a talent, no teacher can still be like this, I am today you are... ”

Pei Min hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the villain has something to report!" ”

The female emperor was interrupted before she finished speaking, and she felt a little unhappy in her heart, and said, "What's the matter? ”

Pei Min replied: "The villain is a man in the mountains and wilderness, lazy and lazy, ignorant of the world, I am afraid that I will be disappointed, please take back the reward!" ”

Pei Min said this, since the female emperor was deeply surprised, since ancient times, the marquis and the general are all the world's best to ask, and now the public reward is actually refused. At this moment, in addition to the expected, the female emperor was more angry in her heart, isn't this a clear protest?

Pei Min's refusal to seal it was something Li Ke could predict, but it was inconvenient for him to speak for him at the moment, even if he said it, it was frivolous and useless. But for the crown prince and Li Sanlang, it was a deep surprise, it stands to reason that taking the initiative to ask for help, isn't it for the sake of making meritorious contributions? The prince knows the temperament of the female emperor, this is a public reward, if he refuses, it is tantamount to burying a disaster, and there will be difficulties in the future, and even because Li Sanlang's relationship will endanger himself, seeing that the female emperor has not yet spoken, he hurriedly said loudly: "Pei Min, Your Majesty has rewarded you with supreme glory, why do you refuse?" Don't be thankful yet! ”

Pei Min is smart and knows the consequences of refusing to be sealed, but how could his belief be changed so easily, so he said: "Your Majesty, the prince's great grace, it's not that Pei doesn't know how to lift, it's really a villain who is lazy and embarrassed!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was even more solemn for a while, Pei Min paused and continued: "But please Your Majesty, the prince is relieved, those who practice martial arts, should know the righteousness of protecting the family and defending the country, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, it is like the people in distress, the court calls, Pei Mou will give up his life and forget death, and go to help." ”

No matter how Pei Min justified himself, this refusal to reward was indeed a fact, and the female emperor was very angry in her heart, but it was just inconvenient to vent. Finally, Zhang Cambodia on the side opened his mouth to unravel: "Okay! Good! Good! The great man of chivalry, protect the family and defend the country! There is indeed a chivalrous style! Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, although Pei Daxia does not want to enter the court as an official, he has the responsibility to defend the land, and this heart can be sincere! Let it be fulfilled as he wishes, lest the world disagree in vain, and it will be difficult for us strongmen! Just reward him with something else. ”

Zhang Cambodia's words were given to the female emperor under the steps, and the female emperor also knew that it was not appropriate to entangle too much at this moment, so as not to lose her majesty in front of everyone, especially Wan Fan, and the future would be long, but she could make plans afterwards, so she eased her tone and said: "I am also a reasonable person, since everyone has their own ambitions, I don't force it, but today's work is obvious to all, so according to Zhang Ge's opinion, what reward should I make?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Cambodia to speak, Pei Min preemptively said: "People in the rivers and lakes are addicted to alcohol, so please ask Your Majesty to give Pei some good bars." ”

Hearing Pei Min say this, the female emperor finally showed a little smile on her face again, and said: "If you are really temperamental, then give you a hundred jars of wine!" ”

Pei Min said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”

Zhang Cambodia said again: "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, only the hundred altars of imperial wine may not be enough to show today's merits, and the old minister has another suggestion." ”

"Oh? Zhang Ge is old, but it doesn't hurt to say! ”

"The old minister has heard that this walking river and lake must have a name to be able to stand prestigious! Today, Pei Daxia can defeat ten people in Tubo with a branch, presumably the swordsmanship is superb, outstanding and outstanding, so the old minister specially asked the royal decree to crown him as the "Sword Saint" to show his merits! Whoever mentions his name in the future will be able to remember the events of today, so as to promote the prestige of our country and spread it to all generations. ”

The word "Sword Saint" is not heavy, according to the usual female emperor will not want to do it, but today's female emperor was almost moved by Zhang Cambodia's last words, she just wants the world to remember today's events, whenever the "Sword Saint" is mentioned, the world will submit to the national prestige of the Celestial Empire. Thinking of this, the female emperor said loudly: "Pei Min has superb swordsmanship and excellent martial arts, I want to crown Pei Min as the "Sword Saint" in front of the princes and nobles, civil and military courtiers and envoys of the ten thousand domains today, but are you not convinced?" If you are not convinced, you can come forward to try it at this moment! ”

This Pei Min's martial arts are in the eyes of everyone, how can anyone dare to humiliate themselves at this moment, so they all shouted in unison: "We are obedient!" Seeing this, Pei Min hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this title makes the villain panic!" Hopefully... ”

This time, it was the female emperor who interrupted Pei Min's words and said: "I have asked everyone, and no one is dissatisfied, so you don't have to shirk it, this matter has been decided!" ”

Pei Min knew that the female emperor was iron-hearted this time, and if she prevaricated again, she would definitely commit a big taboo, so she stopped making a sound.

The female emperor said loudly: "I give Pei Min the title of "Sword Saint" today! May he be chivalrous and righteous in the future to protect the people of my Great Zhou! ”

Pei Min was helpless in his heart, knelt down and said loudly: "Pei Mou has the order, thank your majesty!" ”

In a piece of "Pei Min! Juggernaut! After the cheers, the female emperor said again: "Today's event is over, I am deeply pleased, and the brave man will be rewarded in the future!" Drive back to the palace. After that, the entire royal horse farm left the field in an orderly manner under the leadership of the female emperor.

At this moment, the sun is about to set, and the time is approaching.
