In addition to the imperial city, there are several school grounds in Datang, and there is also one close to Qingxifang, which is a training place for the Jinling defenders in addition to the forbidden army. Yang Lian wanted to compete with Li Hongji, so naturally he would not be in the imperial city, so he chose to be in Qingxifang.

Fortunately, Yanwang's Mansion is not far from Qingxifang, and it doesn't take a stick of incense to arrive. Zeng Yiling and Yang Lian were riding the same horse, and Zeng Yiling was a little uncomfortable. After all, she was from a famous family, and being ridden on the same war horse with Yang Lian on such an occasion made her quite uncomfortable. Yang Lian was behind her, and a slight wheezing sound came, cutting across the ends of her hair and jade neck, and there was a feeling of numbness.

"Don't care, don't let Li Hongji see the flaws." Yang Lian said in a low voice.

"Hmph." Zeng Yiling snorted coldly, thinking that when the matter is over here, sooner or later I want you to look good.

Yang Lian urged the war horse, and after arriving at the school ground, he turned over and dismounted, and Lin Renzhao, Chen Tie and others rushed up to protect Zeng Yiling.

"If you are like this, I'm afraid you will give Li Hongji more handles." Yang Lian shook his head, feeling that Lin Renzhao had done a little bit of Meng Lang.

"What's the big deal if you lose this official?" Chen Tie laughed.

Lin Renzhao said: "Yang Jiedu, you don't have to worry, if I resign from my official position, it will also be a good thing." ”

Zeng Yiling asked strangely: "Is it a good thing to lose the tube?" ”

Lin Renzhao smiled slightly, but did not answer.

Li Hongji got off his horse, glanced at Yang Lian, his face was as cold as ice, handed the reins to Zhu Lingyun, and quickly entered the school grounds. This school field is an open school field, covering an extremely wide area, with the entry of Li Hongji, Yang Lian and others, many people have also flocked to see a good show.

Li Hongji pulled out a long knife from his war horse, the blade was shining, reflecting his eyes, cold and sharp, as if he would eat people.

"King Yan, you have to be careful." Zhu Lingyun said that he had fought with Yang Lian, knew that Yang Lian had great strength, and was worried that King Yan was not an opponent.

"Yang Lian, what are you afraid of? I'm going to kill him! Li Hongji said, with a ruthless face.

"King Yan, are you going to kill him?" Zhu Lingyun lost his voice and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Although Yang Lian is a thorn in his side, no matter what, he is an official of the imperial court, and now as a second-grade festival envoy, his official position is not small, how can he kill him casually?

"What, you're scared?" Li Hongji pursed his lips and smiled, with a look of disdain, and said, "Killing him is like killing a dog." ”

Zhu Lingyun hesitated for a moment and said, "No matter what, King Yan should be careful." ”

"I don't need to say it, I know what he's up to. But this time, he was injured in Xuzhou, and he must not have recovered so quickly, and now is the best time to kill him, and I can't let it go. Li Hongji said, looking at Yang Lian.

Feeling Li Hongji's killing intent, Yang Lian also looked at him, his eyes were sharp, and he didn't show weakness at all.

"You have to be careful, Li Hongji is not a good person." Zeng Yiling reminded Yang Lian.

"Thanks for the reminder." Yang Lian smiled and pulled out a long knife made of fine iron from behind the war horse.

"You should also note that he is the eldest son of the Son of Heaven after all, and if you kill him or injure him, you will inevitably be punished. But he is different, he killed you, and the Son of Heaven punished him at most, and he was still his Yan King. Zeng Yiling said again.

"Don't worry, I'm prepared." Yang Lian said, took another package from the back of the horse's buttocks, and carried it in his hand.

"Yang Jiedu, be careful." Lin Renzhao said.

Yang Lian nodded at him and walked over. At this time, Li Hongji had already gone to the school field, with a leisurely and complacent look.

"Why, before you die, you still want to be sorry for me?" Li Hongji scoffed.

"What, jealousy?" Yang Lian sneered.

"Joke, this king is a dignified Yan King, what are you jealous of?" Li Hongji sneered.

Yang Lian smiled and said: "As a dignified Yan King, there are not a few women around him, and he is with a rough man like Zhu Lingyun in one day, does Yan Wang have a habit of dragon and yang, and it is good to break his sleeves?" ”

"You!" Li Hongji was about to be angry, and suddenly felt that before the battle, he must not be angry, but to maintain a calm state of mind, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and just snorted coldly.

Yang Lian laughed and said, "King Yan, since you have made a bet with Ben General, you naturally need to make a life and death contract. ”

"A contract of life and death?" Li Hongji frowned.

"Yes, you are the dignified King Yan, the eldest son of the Son of Heaven, you will only be a second-class official, where do you dare to compete with King Yan? If one accidentally injured King Yan, and King Yan took the opportunity to suppress and retaliate in the future, who would he go to complain to? Yang Lian smiled and opened the package, and there was pen and ink inside.

"It turns out that he came prepared." Li Hongji thought in his heart.

At this time, the official in charge of the school came over in a hurry, saw Li Hongji, hurriedly bowed his hand, and said: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Yan, I don't know that His Royal Highness King Yan has a noble cadre here?" ”

"Get out of here!" Li Hongji was very unhappy.

Yang Lian smiled and said, "This brother, King Yan wants to compete with the general, so he uses the school field for use." ”

The official glanced at Yang Lian, a little strange, but he already knew the matter, so he stopped talking, and said that King Yan looked fierce and vicious, which made him palpitate, and he smiled and said, "Please, King Yan, please." With that, he hurriedly retreated, and found the soldiers who were guarding the school yard and asked them to maintain order.

Yang Lian spread out the paper, polished the ink, and said: "Actually, it's simple, you take a look first, there is no opinion, King Yan signed the name." As he spoke, he handed the contract of life and death to Li Hongji.

Li Hongji took a look at it, the content had been written, it was nothing more than this competition, no matter who was injured or even killed, he could not be held accountable. The contract of life and death, about that. Li Hongji thought about it, took the brush, added the content of the discussion just now, and at the end, he signed the name, stamped the seal of King Yan, and added a finger print.

Seeing that he was so decisive, Yang Lian thought that Li Hongji felt that he had a chance to win, so he did not hesitate. took the contract and looked at it, Yang Lian also signed it decisively and pressed his fingerprints.

"Good!" Yang Lian smiled and put away the two contracts, one for Lin Renzhao and the other for Zhu Lingyun to show fairness.

"Come on!" When Li Hongji saw that the matter was done, he immediately put his horse away, holding a long knife in his hand, looking impatient.

"Come on, it's like going to a kiln. It will be a competition with you, and it doesn't need to be so ambiguous. Yang Lian said, slowly pulled out the long knife, and then took out a white handkerchief from his waist and carefully wiped the knife surface.

"Don't waste time." Li Hongji frowned, thinking that Yang Lian really talked a lot.

"What's the hurry, like a chick." Yang Lian muttered, although his voice was not loud, Li Hongji heard it very clearly.

The corners of Li Hongji's mouth twitched, and he longed to fight in his heart, eager to kill Yang Lian. The signing of the contract of life and death just now greatly increased his confidence, and at this time he had only one thought in his heart, that is, to kill Yang Lian.

Yang Lian wiped the knife surface unhurriedly, raised it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and after squinting his eyes and looking at it, he walked a few steps, stood more than ten steps away from Li Hongji, and stood steadily.

"Yang Lian, suffer death!" Li Hongji shouted, and he was about to pounce.

Yang Lian said: "Wait. ”

Li Hongji frowned and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"If the hem of the pants is loose, it will affect the performance." Yang Lian smiled, squatted down, and slowly tied his trousers carefully, and then stood up.

"Alright, come on!" Yang Lian said with a smile.

"Humph!" Li Hongji snorted coldly, clenched the long knife, stepped forward, and killed the past.

At this time, the school was already crowded with people, and when they saw the two fighting, they immediately shouted excitedly, no matter what time it was, there were many people watching the excitement.

Zeng Yiling stared at the school field, how powerful Li Hongji is, she naturally knows that Yang Lian is afraid that he will not be able to really exert his strength.

Lin Renzhao saw that she was worried, and said, "Don't worry, Yang Jiedu must be fine." ”

While speaking, Li Hongji had already rushed to Yang Lian quickly, raising his knife and slashing. Li Hongji was born in the army, and he opened and closed when he fought, but he didn't have much know-how, and this knife was slashed, with the sound of the wind, resounding in the eardrums of the two.

Yang Lian saw that this knife was strong and heavy, and knew that Li Hongji had used a lot of strength, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he also used enough strength to raise his knife to meet him.

"Bell!" With a sound of Jin Ge, the two blades intersected, and the equally sharp blades collided violently, sparks splashed everywhere, and the blades were also cut out of a gap.

Yang Lian's palm sank, only to feel that the tiger's mouth was numb, and a strong force came, and immediately stood firmly with his legs, his waist sank down, slightly unloading the impact, and then his arm was raised forward, and he counterattacked without showing weakness.

Li Hongji also had numb arms, he used enough strength for this knife, and originally thought that he could chop the long knife in Yang Lian's hand away, but what he didn't expect was that Yang Lian actually withstood his knife. Could it be that he was not injured in Xuzhou? Or rather, he was injured, but he recovered quickly? These thoughts flashed through Li Hongji's heart.

When Li Hongji was surprised, Yang Lian would not be idle at all, after he put away the knife, he took a deep breath, shouted, and the long knife in his hand began to counterattack, slashing towards Li Hongji's head.

Under the loud cheers, Li Hongji took a step back and also raised his knife to greet him.

"Bell, bell!" On the field, the two of them fought hard, you come and go, just a moment, more than a dozen moves passed, and the two still did not distinguish the winner.

Lin Renzhao frowned and said, "It seems that Li Hongji's strength is extraordinary. ”

Chen Tie was a little worried, and said, "It seems that Yang Jiedu has met an opponent." ”

Zeng Yiling carefully observed the situation on the school field, and the two were evenly matched for a moment, and neither of them had the upper hand. However, she felt that Yang Lian seemed to have reservations.

On the side, Zhu Lingyun laughed, in his opinion, it was King Yan who occupied the upper point, after all, during this time, although King Yan did not take too much advantage, King Yan was actively attacking, Yang Lian was mainly defending most of the time, and did not take the initiative to attack. In other words, in other words, Yang Lian is actually at a disadvantage.

Everyone has their own different thoughts, but the two people on the school field obviously don't have extra time to think, the two are in the game of life and death, Li Hongji attacked very fiercely during this time, and the knife did not leave Yang Lian's vital point, Yang Lian did not fight directly with him, most of the time, it was mainly to dodge, because he could see that Li Hongji was the one who bit the gold and used up the three-plate axe, that is, when he was exhausted, it was when Li Hongji was helpless.

Of course, saying that Li Hongji only has Cheng Biting Jin's three-plate axe does not mean that he can only make three swords, but that his long-lasting combat ability is not strong, and he has been attacking fiercely, which must be very physically exhausting.

Sure enough, after the two fought a stick of incense, Li Hongji's attack gradually slowed down, and his breathing could be heard gradually becoming short, Yang Lian remained silent, waiting for an opportunity. At the same time, Yang Lian also slowed down, and his breathing deliberately became short.

Li Hongji saw that he couldn't attack for a long time, and he also felt that he was a little too supportive, during this time he consumed a lot of physical strength, which made him sweat on his forehead, and when he was about to think about slowing down and attacking again, he heard Yang Lian's breathing also become short.

"He can't hold on." Li Hongji thought so in his heart, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. It seems that Yang Lian is nothing more than that. Li Hongji felt that Yang Lian was about to be unable to resist his attack, so his confidence immediately increased, and he puffed up seven miles, clenched the long knife, and a knife was as fast as a knife, and he wanted to solve Yang Lian in the shortest possible time.

However, Yang Lian seemed to have begun to move slowly, and his breathing was also rapid, as if he couldn't resist it, but no matter how Li Hongji attacked, he never took Yang Lian.

A large amount of sweat fell on Li Hongji's forehead, his physical strength had begun to be overdrawn, his arms had begun to be a little numb and sore due to long-term exertion, in the interval of the battle, Li Hongji could feel that his strength was disappearing quickly, he understood that there was not much time left for him, and he had to solve Yang Lian as soon as possible.

But at this time, Yang Lian had already seen Li Hongji's weakness, because Li Hongji's attack was getting slower and slower, and when the weapons intersected, the strength transmitted was also greatly weakened, which meant that Li Hongji was no longer good.

At this time, at least half an hour of fighting, Yang Lian felt that it was time to end, so he immediately sneered, clenched the long knife with both hands, used enough strength, took the initiative to attack, and killed Li Hongji.

Yang Lian's sudden uncharacteristic attack made Li Hongji raise his vigilance, seeing that this knife was coming quickly and fiercely, it was too late to hide, Li Hongji had to muster up his strength and fight hard with Yang Lian.

"Bell!" With a crisp sound, the blades of the two intersected, Li Hongji only felt a pain in the tiger's mouth, and then his arm was numb, and his fingers didn't seem to obey the call. In a daze, the long knife in his hand had already flown out, and fell obliquely beside Zhu Lingyun, shocking him into a cold sweat, and he almost died inexplicably.

Without waiting for Li Hongji to react, Yang Lian took a quick step and kicked on Li Hongji's lower abdomen.

"Kick and stare at it!" Li Hongji couldn't bear this force, retreated backwards, and suddenly fell to the ground, his head hit the hard ground, the pain made him dizzy, and tears jumped out irrepressibly at this moment, splashing on the ground.

Yang Lian saw Li Hongji fall to the ground, sneered, and walked up quickly, with a finger of the long knife, less than half a foot away from Li Hongji's head.

"King Yan, you lost!" Yang Lian said almost word by word, and his language was full of ruthlessness. (To be continued.) )
