Chapter 45: Trying the Sword
With Zhao Zhe came to the lobby, at this time in the hall was sitting a person with a crown and a Bo belt, who seemed to be fifty or sixty years old, white-faced and beardless, and looked dignified, thinking that this person was Zhao Zhong, the head of the permanent servants, but no matter how you look at it, in addition to having no beard, this person definitely looks like a well-educated Confucian, with an excellent demeanor, and there is no imagination that the ministers are quite obscene, and it seems that people's words may not be credible.
"My grandson has seen my grandfather, and this is the Liu Yi I mentioned to you!" Zhao Hai strode forward and knelt down first, said respectfully, and only got up to introduce Liu Yi after Zhao Zhong waved his hand.
"Liu Yi and Liu Langsheng in the lower upper party, I have seen Lord Zhao." Liu Yi also stepped forward to give a deep salute, and said solemnly, in addition to his good appearance and demeanor, Zhao Zhong in front of him also has an indescribable momentum, which is naturally formed by being in a high position for many years, which makes it difficult to predict his joy and anger.
"Excuse me, you are Liu Yi? Back then, the miscellaneous family and your grandfather Liu Yu also had several faces, I heard that you were against hundreds of bandits in Yushan, not only saved Kuang Yin's life, but also saved Lord Cai's beloved daughter, martial arts and extraordinary, today I saw it, and it was really Yu Xuanang. Zhao Zhong showed a slight appreciative smile, but as soon as he spoke, his voice was shrill and thin, and he was very unaccustomed to listening.
"The adults praised it falsely, the villain just has a few strengths, and he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and the last time he shot was only to provoke righteous indignation." Liu Yi replied respectfully, although Zhao Zhong said that he knew his grandfather, he knew that Liu Yu had always looked down on these eunuchs, and it was estimated that he would not have a very good relationship.
"Hehe, I see that Zhang Chengshou said in the recommendation letter that you asked for medicine for your mother and went to the cliff, so filial piety is not easy." Zhao Zhongyan said, Zhang Yang is Liu Yi's promoter of filial piety, naturally indispensable for him, men act in filial piety first, Liu Yi treats his mother, and he naturally writes about the matter of going to Yushan to collect medicine, and this kind of mother's filial piety is a virtue in itself.
"Lord Zhang has always taken good care of the villain, there are many good words, the villain has never read any books since he was a child, and only filial piety is the foundation of his life, which is justified, how dare he be praised by Lord Zhao for this." Liu Yi said modestly, and mentioning Zhang Yang appropriately also shows that he is by no means a person who has forgotten his roots.
"Okay, the favorite of the miscellaneous family in his life is the young hero, but hearing is false, seeing is believing, Langsheng, you can come and go freely in the bandits, you must be strong in martial arts, I don't know if you can demonstrate it." Zhao Zhong praised it and then spoke, at this time, his eyes were also firmly fixed on Liu Yi, his power has increased greatly in recent years, and his eyes are extremely divine, faintly revealing majesty.
"Since this is the case, it is also the villain's wish to be able to show his strengths in front of adults, but I don't know how adults want to show me?" Liu Yi met Zhao Zhong's gaze without fear and said loudly.
"Miscellaneous people don't know martial arts, this is my personal guard Zhao Kang, his swordsmanship is quite high, the emperor Wang Yue also praised him for being extraordinary, so he asked Zhao Kang to try Lang Sheng's skills, of course, it is to the point, how about it?" As soon as Zhao Zhong spoke, Zhao Kang on the side took a step forward slightly, this person was in his thirties, with a resolute face, a slender figure, and he looked extremely strong in black.
"But according to the orders of the adults, Liu Yi does everything." Liu Yi said lightly, ignoring Zhao Kang's electric gaze, when he entered the lobby, he had already paid attention to this person, just looking at his standing posture straight like a javelin, he knew that he was extraordinary, and he was a little similar to Zhao Yun, at this time he heard the name of Wang Yue was even more slightly shocked, and some wild histories in later generations portrayed this person as the number one swordsman in the world, and now it seems that there is indeed a thing, and he can praise this Zhao Kang is definitely extraordinary, but although Liu Yi will not underestimate the enemy and will not think too highly of the other party, you must know that it is Gan Xingba and Zhao Zilong who usually learn from him.
"Good, let's go to school." Zhao Kang saw that Liu Yi was still calm and calm under his gaze, and his heart immediately became cautious, and he said in a deep voice, it was like gold.
"No need, it's getting late at this time, why let Lord Zhao move, why don't you and I have a discussion between this hall, I see that Brother Zhao's temperament is condensed, it must be an extraordinary swordsmanship, I think you can send and receive it at will, although it is narrow here, it is enough for you and me to fight." Liu Yi said with a smile, although the words were polite and polite, the confidence in the connotation was obvious.
Zhao Zhong immediately became interested when he heard this, he and Zhang Rang were naturally not incompetent people who could dominate the world, and they had been carefully cultivating their strength in recent years, but unfortunately they were crippled after all, although most of the officials were afraid of their authority and bent to cater to them, but they were very disdainful in their hearts, which Zhao Zhong knew but it was difficult to change, so a young handsome man like Liu Yi who had recently raised filial piety was their main target, otherwise Zhao Hai would not have made a special trip to see Liu Yi if he asked him.
Zhao Kang's strength He knows very well, some banquets on weekdays have not tasted defeat than the sword, and he has also protected Zhao Zhong's safety many times, and he has been ruthless, and the long sword must be returned when it is out of the sheath, and he originally wanted him to take the test, this Liu Yi can support thirty or forty is already extraordinary, but this person doesn't care about his words, if he doesn't pretend to be a gesture, he really has a stunt, at this time he believed a little more in what Zhao Hai said, and also gave Zhao Kang a look of doing his best.
"What kind of blade does Brother Liu use, just choose." Zhao Kang came to the field calmly, someone had already cleaned the hall and gave him a wooden sword, Zhao Kang held the sword in his hand, his momentum skyrocketed again, staring at Liu Yi and said coldly, the closer he got closer, the more he knew that the young man in front of him was extraordinary, this was the intuition of a martial artist, but it could not affect his self-confidence at all, it was trained with countless lives, and meeting such an opponent would only make him more excited.
"Hey~ In front of Lord Zhao, how dare you move your sword? If this is not the case, Brother Zhao attacked me with all his strength, and only dodged with his body. Liu Yi smiled calmly, this is not his trust, his body is his strongest link, he practices with Zhao Yun on weekdays, with Zilong's marksmanship, he can also dodge eighteen shots purely by his body, no matter how powerful Zhao Kang in front of him is, he can't compare to Changshan Zhao Zilong, right? Therefore, he is full of confidence, but others don't know what he thinks, Zhao Zhong is still silent, but Zhao Hai and Zhao Zhe are surprised, this Liu Yi is too arrogant.
"Okay, look at the sword." As soon as the words fell, Zhao Kang had already made a move, he did not have any turmoil because of Liu Yi's seemingly contemptuous approach, as a top swordsman, his mind had long been as calm as iron, this behavior could only make him more cautious, the lion fought the rabbit with all his strength, after greeting, Zhao Kang attacked with all his strength, and this wooden sword was faintly in his hand There was a faint sound of wind and thunder.
Seeing the momentum of the wooden sword, Liu Yi secretly praised Zhao Kang's swordsmanship in his heart, and then moved to the side to slide and dodge a blow to the chest, Zhao Kang seemed to have expected his footsteps, the sword body turned horizontally, changed the stab to sweep, the wooden sword was like a shadow, Liu Yi's body flashed back, and the sword wind passed by the waist, originally this sword he could dodge with the method of vertical crossing, but when he saw the other party's shot, he put away this thought, although the air is fancy and beautiful, but it has also lost its agility, Zhao Kang's swordsmanship is so clever, he can't take risks.
Zhao Kang is like a maggot on the tarsal bone rubbing his body again, the wooden sword shakes out a heavy light and shadow to envelop Liu Yi's body, the sword wind in the hall for a while, only to see two figures through flowers and trees in the place of Zhang Xu Fangyuan, see everyone dazzled, wait for the two figures to stand still, Zhao Kang's extremely swift sword directly took Liu Yi's face, and at this time it was the time when the other party's old power had declined, and the new force had not been born, the timing was so wonderful that Zhao Hai exclaimed, seeing that Liu Yi was going to be injured under this sword.
