Chapter 45: The Second Year of Tianbao

Dean Chen didn't talk about the theft of the marrow washing pool, and he didn't even mention Du Fu's name, but just chatted with Yu Lang about the interesting things that happened in the Moon Washing Academy, and he was often amused by some not-so-interesting things, without the demeanor of a peerless master.

The two chatted until the sun was setting west, and Dean Chen was still unsatisfied with sending off the guests.

"That's going to let me go?" Yu Lang was confused, he thought that Dean Chen would inevitably ask about Zhendishi when he came to find him, and thought that he was just a means of attacking the heart, but he never expected that it was really just gossip.

Dean Chen smiled: "I chatted with you this time, first, I want to know more about you as a person. Second, in fact, he did Du Zimei a small favor, and at this time he should have already gotten on the boat leaving Yangzhou. He is a human being who looks noisy, but he loves to be sad and sad, and he can't see parting, and he doesn't want you to send this journey. ”

Yu Lang's heart sank suddenly, he didn't expect Du Fu to leave so suddenly, and he didn't even leave a chance to say goodbye to himself.

——————————————————————————————————————————

The cold came and the summer passed, and three years passed in a flash.

A lot of things happened in the past three years, at the end of the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, the local officials offered auspicious rui, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji thought that his life has been done, so he took advantage of the situation to change the name of the year to Tianbao, the word Tianbao is taken from Wang Bo's "Tengwang Pavilion Preface" "Wuhua Tianbao, outstanding people" sentence.

On the first day of the first month of the first year of Tianbao, Xuanzong came to the Qinzheng Building, and was congratulated by the envoys of the small countries of the Quartet and the subjects of Chang'an, and granted amnesty to the world. In that year, in order to resist the invasion of the surrounding small barbarian countries that had not returned to Shun, the imperial court successively set up ten sections and economic envoys in various parts of Yanbian, recruited troops to the border, and the power of the generals of the border defense towns increased, and the situation of external weight and internal light intensified.

Li Linfu's family was dominant in the court, jealous of the meritocracy and exclusion of dissidents, and even in order to prevent someone from "going out of the prime minister" to threaten his status, he promoted a large number of illiterate foreign generals and suppressed Han generals. The world said that Li Linfu "has honey in his mouth and a sword in his belly".

In the first year of Tianbao, Yangzhou was changed to Guangling County by Xuanzong, but it only changed the title on the official plan, whether it is a local resident or a merchant or a tourist, it still loves to call Yangzhou City.

The second year of Tianbao, spring.

On this day, Yangzhou City is quite lively, there was originally a group of Tubo people, it is said that the big disciple of the Tubo National Teacher, Qili Dongzan, led a group of younger brothers to pick up the masters of the young generation of the Tang Dynasty, all the way to the east has defeated the Tang Dynasty famous family, more than 70 young heroes of the Gaomen faction, went to Yangzhou City, heard that the strong hand of the Moon Washing Academy in the city is like a cloud, so he came to challenge.

At this time, the Emperor Fu Weiming was leading the troops to fight with the Tubo rebels on the front line, and the Tang army had the upper hand, and even a few months ago, Langzhi, the son of Tubo Zampu, was picked off the horse by the Tang army's vanguard cavalry general, Wang Rare, and his morale was greatly defeated. This group of people came to Datang at this time to challenge everywhere, just to increase the prestige of their country.

The one sent by the Xiyue Academy to fight was Xie Zhiqian, the youngest son of the Xie family, who was eighteen years old, and cultivated to swim in the sea realm, and shook the south of the Yangtze River with the Xie family's Guanyun sword in one hand.

Xie Xianzun deliberately set up a ring in the south of the city, and issued an obituary saying that all young people under the age of 30 in Yangzhou City who defeated Qili Dongzan would be rewarded with 100 taels of gold. This is very confident in his nephew, and it is expected that when his nephew defeats Kili Dongzan, he will not only make a name for the country, but also his bounty will be a circle from the left pocket to the right pocket.

Unexpectedly, Kili Dongzan just glanced at Xie Zhiqian and extinguished his interest in fighting with him, and only sent one of his junior disciples, Zhuobra, to fight.

Xie Xianzun didn't understand the matter of cultivation, thinking that the other party was disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty, and he was about to attack on the spot, or the master mentioned it from the side: "This Qili Dongzan is a cultivation that breaks the peak of the void, and it is only one step away from the first realm of the upper three realms, Wuxuan, after all, the little boy is still young, and at this time, he only has the cultivation of the sea realm, which is a big realm worse than Qili Dongzan, and he is ...... The other party sent Zhuobra, whose strength was comparable to that of the little boy, to fight, but it was actually to give me a face. ”

Xie Xianzun restrained his anger at this time, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, his nephew has been an outstanding figure in the Xie family for decades, and he is even a big realm worse than this Qili Dongzan, it seems that this bounty cannot be sent.

Many people of the Tang Dynasty around the ring cheered for Xie Zhiqian.

"Look at the Tubo man Zhuo Bula's big shoulders and round waist, his strength must be not small, can Xie Gongzi fight with a weak appearance?"

"Hugh has to talk nonsense, the competition is not chopping wood, what is the matter with stupid strength? Xie Zhiqian is an outstanding disciple of the Moon Washing Academy, and if he can't fight that Qili Dongzan, if he can't even clean up this minion soldier, how can I have face in the Tang Dynasty? ”

The spectators were full of discussions, each expressing their own opinions, and they were inconsistent.

Kili Dongzan sat on a chair for a long time and sipped tea slowly, as if he didn't care about the outcome of the fight.

Xie Zhiqian, who was in the ring, held the hilt of his sword upside down and saluted Zhuobra, but Zhuobra just smirked and didn't know how to return the salute.

The two were separated by ten paces, each showing his sword.

Chobra's blades were a pair of nine-ring broadswords, which looked extremely heavy.

In Xie Zhiqian's hand is the family heirloom sword-Cloud Breaking Sword.

The thirty-six Cloud Viewing Sword Technique was combined with the Cloud Breaking Sword, and it was so dazzling that even the ordinary people who didn't know martial arts couldn't help but applaud.

Zhuobra people are tall and big, a pair of big knives are also extremely heavy, but the pace is not sluggish at all, the knife turns with the sword, the person follows the knife, and takes each sword of Xie Zhiqian one by one.

Xie Zhiqian suddenly picked up his speed, and the last eighteenth sword move changed his light and elegant style, opening and closing bravely and diligently, and each sword was stabbed on Zhuobra's left shoulder.

Kili Dongzan couldn't help but secretly praise this young man's good eyesight, and through the temptation of the first eighteen sword moves, he saw that the left shoulder position was Zhuobra's weakness.

Zobra was suddenly downtrodden and forced to be completely on the defensive.

Xie Zhiqian's airtight sword momentum pressed Zhuobra's maneuvering space smaller and smaller, and he saw that Zhuobra was about to be forced out of the ring.

Zhuo Bra suddenly stepped on the stone slab under his feet, and provoked several stones to shoot out as a hidden weapon, forcing Xie Zhiqian to take two steps back. Zhuo Bula took advantage of the situation to release his sword qi and no longer fought with Xie Zhiqian, wanting to defeat Xie Zhiqian based on the majestic internal breath in the sea of qi.

Xie Zhiqian did not show weakness, and poured his inner breath into the sword body, firmly pulling Zhuobra's knife. This trick was learned from Nan Jiyun, but the Cloud Breaking Sword was more than a step inferior to the Venerable Sword of Juque and other swords, and its power was not the same.

Zobra felt like his knife was stuck in a quagmire, and his internal breath was rapidly depleted in the endless grappling. Seeing that he was about to lose, Zhuobra roared, abandoned his double knife, and hit Xie Zhiqian with both fists in the chest.

Xie Zhiqian didn't expect Zhuobra's hand, so he was not in a hurry for a while, and his middle fist fell into the ring. These two punches were extremely heavy, and Xie Zhiqian spat out a mouthful of blood when he landed.

"Good!" There were only a few Tubo people who applauded sporadically, and the people of Datang were silent.

Zhuobra arrogantly patrolled the Quartet in the ring: "Moon Washing Academy, that's it; Datang martial arts, but that's it! ”

The Datang side could only respond with embarrassing silence, even though there was anger in his heart, but there was no sword in his hand to resist the enemy.

"You can wait for the barbarians, and abandoning the knife in my Datang means admitting defeat. Xiao Xie thought that you would show mercy when you admit defeat, but you took advantage of the weakness and acted despicably. A handsome young man in a moon-white robe stepped out of the crowd.

Xie Zhiqian shouted in surprise: "Brother Lang, didn't you go out to practice?" ”

Yu Lang smiled at Xie Zhiqian: "That Lingnan No. 1 knife is really too vegetable, and I gave it seconds, so we came back early." ”

Zhuobra jumped like thunder: "Who are you to dare to call me a barbarian?" Do you have the courage to fight? ”

Moments later, Chobra flew out of the ring upside down.

The onlookers cheered.

Yu Lang turned around and got out of the ring disdainfully: "Tubo martial arts, bullshit." ”

"Who is Your Excellency? Can I register my name? Kili Dongzan got up and asked.

Yu Lang smiled faintly: "Washing Moon Academy, Yu Lang, Yu Ziyou." ”

The girls in the audience screamed and lost their voices.

Xie Xianzun on the high platform shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This demon king of the mixed world is back again." ”
