Li Yuanji and Yu Chigong were staggered, and between this lightning and fire, Li Yuanji stabbed out three lances like lightning, intending to replace defense with offense and prevent Yu Chigong from seizing the lance.

Fa this Wei Chi Gong's seemingly stout body has incredible flexibility, and he twisted a few times to avoid Li Yuanji's first two lances, and when the last lance stabbed, he suddenly screamed, opened his arm and clamped the horse lance under his left arm, and then grabbed the horse lance with both hands and twisted suddenly.

"Let it go!" With Wei Chigong's loud roar, Li Yuanji originally wanted to compete with the other party, but he didn't expect a force that could not be refused from the horse lance, so that he could no longer hold his hands, and then the palm of his hand was snatched away as soon as the palm hurt, and when he opened his palm, he found that the skin of the palm of his hand had been worn off.

In the martial arts novels of later generations, there is often the kung fu of snatching the white blade with empty hands, but in reality, if you want to snatch the weapon from the enemy's hands with your bare hands, you need to take a great risk, not to mention that Yu Chigong still snatches the lance between the two horses and flints, and it requires extraordinary courage and martial arts, and I am afraid that only he dares to do this in the entire Tang Dynasty.

"Good!" Li Shimin, who was playing the drum, saw that Wei Chigong lived up to expectations and once again showed his skill of seizing the lance, and he couldn't help yelling excitedly, and at the same time struggling to beat the war drum a few times again to express his excitement.

Li Jiancheng immediately stopped beating the drum at this time, personally went down to check Li Yuanji's injury, and called the doctor to give him medicine, and then said aloud to Li Shimin: "Second brother, your subordinates are worthy of being fierce generals, you won this gambling battle, I see that the guests have almost arrived, let's have a banquet now!" ”

When Li Jiancheng talked about guests, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, his eyes actually swept Li Xiu's side, in fact, he not only invited Li Xiu, but also invited other people, such as Ma Ye and some people around him, who were all guests he invited, but he glanced at Li Xiu.

"Oops!" Li Xiu screamed secretly at the moment, and immediately wanted to hide behind Ma Ye, but unfortunately at this time, Li Shimin's eyes also followed, and he saw him in the crowd at once, only to see that Li Shimin's originally excited face quickly became gloomy, and there was also a little annoyance in his eyes when he looked at Li Xiu, and it was estimated that his good mood was all ruined by Li Xiu.

Facing the annoyed Li Shimin, Li Xiu could only smile at him cheekily, he was really a little guilty when he said it, after all, Li Shimin took the initiative to recruit him again and again, but he refused all of them, and now as soon as Li Jiancheng invited him, he came running over, and this kind of differential treatment is estimated to be angry no matter how generous people are.

Seeing that Li Xiu still had a face to smile at him, this made Li Shimin even more angry, and turned his head away from him with a cold snort, out of sight and out of mind, so as not to disturb his mood because of Li Xiu.

Li Jiancheng is the master, only then does he have time to greet the invited guests, and the people who can be invited by him are either powerful people in the court, or famous Confucian celebrities in Chang'an City, Li Xiu is an exception, but when Li Jiancheng saw him, he smiled very kindly: "It's better to see than to hear, I have long heard the third sister say that Captain Li is young and promising, and today I see it really deserves its reputation!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has praised it falsely, he is just a layman with no virtue and no talent, and he deserves such praise from His Royal Highness!" Li Xiu actually likes to listen to others praise himself, but at this time he smiled bitterly, you don't see that Li Shimin's face was already black when he heard Li Jiancheng's praise of him, it is estimated that the more Li Jiancheng praises him, the more angry Li Shimin will be.

"Big brother, is he the Li Xiu who saved the third sister?" At this moment, the heroic Li Yuanji also came over at this time and said, the skin on his palm was peeled, and he was drugged by the doctor at this time, and wrapped in gauze, it is estimated that it will be fine in a few days.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and it's Li Xiu below!" Li Xiu also hurriedly saluted, seeing Li Yuanji's bravery, he didn't dare to look at His Royal Highness the King of Qi with his old eyes at this time.

"Don't be polite, I still have to thank you for saving the third sister, wait for this king to give you a few cups!" Li Yuanji is not as arrogant as the legend, and he speaks very politely, but his expression is a little arrogant, after all, as a prince, he is young and powerful, and he will inevitably have a little arrogance, and only those who are stronger than him will be sincerely respected.

Then Li Jiancheng encouraged Li Xiu a few more words, and then invited him to enter the main hall, and then all the guests were arranged to their respective seats, the higher the status, the closer they were to Li Jiancheng, and although Li Xiu was valued by Li Jiancheng, after all, he could not be compared with those powerful Confucians, so his seat was arranged very far back, and he didn't care about it, it was good to sit in the back, at least he could avoid Li Shimin's murderous gaze.

Li Xiu just sat down, what he didn't expect was that Ma Ye suddenly came over, and then pulled him to the front, and asked him to sit with him, Ma Ye came on behalf of Princess Pingyang, so his seat was very forward, next to Li Yuanji, opposite was Li Shimin, as soon as he sat down, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, especially Li Shimin, whose eyes were like knives "whooshing" towards him.

"Uncle Ma, I'd better go back, it's too eye-catching to sit here!" Li Xiu also felt uncomfortable at this time, mainly because Li Shimin's sense of oppression was too strong, but he didn't care much about other people's eyes.

"If you don't want to be in a dilemma in the future, just sit down honestly for me, and remember to cooperate with me later!" Ma Ye said in a low voice at this time, and then sat there with a normal face, as if it was normal to pull Li Xiu to his side and sit down.

Li Shimin, who was on the other side, saw Li Xiu sitting opposite him, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and finally couldn't help but say: "General Ma, the eldest brother arranges for the guests to have their own sittings, is it a little inappropriate for you to pull Captain Li to sit in front of him like this?" ”

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the guests present also set their eyes on Li Xiu, many people had heard of Li Xiu's name, and some people even knew that Li Shimin had recruited him before, so at this time, they also wanted to see how Li Xiu would deal with Li Xiu's cross-examination?

Although Li Xiu's move was a bit rude, after all, he was a guest invited by Li Jiancheng, and he also wanted to hit Li Shimin's reputation by recruiting Li Xiu, so before Ma Ye could speak, he saw Li Jiancheng and said with a smile: "The second brother is a bit serious, this time it is just a private banquet for my brother, so I don't need to be too harsh on etiquette, and I have long heard that General Ma and Captain Li are close friends, and it is more enjoyable to sit together at the banquet!" ”

Li Jiancheng's words are obviously biased towards Li Xiu, not because he attaches importance to Li Xiu, but because he wants to use this to hit Li Shimin, what the enemy hates is what we like, and Li Jiancheng also understands the essence of this sentence.

However, as soon as Li Jiancheng's words fell, I saw that Ma Ye suddenly stood up at this time, and then saluted Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin respectively, and then said with a smile: "The two highnesses don't know, in fact, the reason why the last general brought Captain Li here is mainly because Captain Li has just accepted the appointment of the princess, and now he is serving as the counselor of the women's army, responsible for internal and external etiquette and receiving guests. ”

"Huh?" Hearing Ma Ye's words, Li Xiu was the first to be stunned, when did he agree to be the sacrificial wine of the Women's Army?

After a short silence, the guests in the hall also began to discuss passionately, you must know that Princess Pingyang has a special identity, although she is a woman, but she enjoys the same treatment as King Qin, she can open a mansion and build a government, but Princess Pingyang is low-key, except for commanding the women's army during the war, she does not participate in government affairs at all at other times, let alone open a mansion and build a government, so the positions such as Changshi, Sima, and sacrificial wine in the women's army are all empty, and only when needed, Ma Sanbao and other generals of the women's army make a cameo. But I didn't expect that today I would appoint an unprecedented young man to serve as a sacrificial wine.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were all stunned when they heard Ma Ye's words, among which Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, suddenly laughed and sat down, and looked at Li Xiu with a much softer gaze, while Li Jiancheng looked at Li Xiu and Ma Ye with complicated eyes for a long time, and finally forced a laugh and said: "I see, but I was a little negligent!" ”

Li Jiancheng also sat down after speaking, and didn't look at Li Xiu again, Li Shimin kept drinking with a smile, as for Li Yuanji next to him, he also looked at Li Xiu in surprise for a while at this time, and he couldn't understand what was so special about this Li Xiu, and let the third sister make an exception for him?

Feeling Li Yuanji's strange gaze, and everyone in the hall was also looking at him curiously, this made Li Xiu also a little restless, and asked Ma Ye softly again at the moment: "Uncle Ma, what is going on, why didn't I know that the princess appointed me to make the sacrificial wine?" ”

"Of course you don't know, because this is what the princess decided before I came, don't you want to be recruited by the prince and King Qin, the only way is to make you a member of the women's army, although our women's army is also a little divided, but the prince and the king of Qin in order to show respect for the princess, the two have a tacit understanding, and they will never take the initiative to dig the corners of the women's army, unless you take the initiative to take refuge in one of them!" Ma Ye explained in a low voice.

In fact, he had also thought about recruiting Li Xiu into the Women's Army before, but Li Xiu had a special identity and was valued by Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, so this matter must be approved by the princess.

"I see, but why didn't the princess tell me beforehand?" Li Xiu deliberately made a dissatisfied expression at this time.

"What, you kid don't want to?" Ma Ye said with a glaring at this time.

"No, I just want to ask how much the sacrificial wine is, and I won't do it if I don't give it!" Li Xiu said with a whimsical expression, Princess Pingyang did not hesitate to rob people with her two brothers for him, and this favor was a bit big.
