At the end of the hour, on the main road of Chang'an City, the mighty royal honor guard, like a long dragon, marched towards the east of the city in the sound of gongs and drums. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe people of the Tang Dynasty on both sides of the honor guard knelt on the ground, shouting in their mouths, 'Long live my emperor, long live, long live!' The passionate cries rose higher and higher. The old people who have experienced the **** corruption of the Sui Dynasty understand how this peaceful and prosperous era came about. It was this king who brought the hope of survival and the dawn of prosperity to the people of the Tang Dynasty. Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has made every effort to implement benevolent government and develop people's livelihood and agriculture. After several years of development, although everyone in Datang cannot be said to be rich, at least there will be no starvation to death. This was the greatest satisfaction for the people of that era! So when Li Shimin appeared, the people of Chang'an City were boiling! This is the highest recognition of a king, and it comes from the most sincere worship of the people.

However, when the people of Chang'an City knelt down and cheered, there were some barbarian people standing straight in the crowd, which was particularly conspicuous and eye-catching. When the two rows of civil and military officials followed behind the emperor saw this, they all looked at him angrily. Cheng Biting Jin was even more grinning, if it weren't for Li Jing's eyes warning, people who were familiar with Cheng Biting Jin's personality would have no doubt that Cheng Biting Jin would rush out and kill all these people who dared to challenge the majesty of the royal family!

Behind the royal guard of honor were orderly followed by representatives of envoys from various states. Among them, the teams of the major martial arts sects are also mixed in.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, looked through the tulle at the streets on both sides of the street to welcome, full of enthusiasm, and his eyes revealed the simplicity and worship of the people of the Tang Dynasty. "This is my people of the Tang Dynasty, what a simple group of people!" All this beauty, I will protect with the blood of the enemy. Every time I think of the countless innocent souls who died tragically under the enemy's butcher's knife at the border pass, they are all fresh lives! Since your wolf nature has not changed, you dare to peep into the land of my Datang and kill my Datang people indiscriminately. Then don't blame me.... The blood debt needs ten times the blood of my Datang to taste!

Led by the royal honor guard, a group of people came to the competition venue. According to the prescribed route, Li Shimin got out of the car and drove nearly 100 meters away from the martial arts arena. For the rest of the road, you need to walk. Due to the limited space, the Ministry of Rites kept the guard of honor in place. Nearly 100 heavily armed Imperial Forest Army opened the way, and the generals automatically divided into two columns to follow Li Shimin on both sides, and walked towards the martial arts arena.

After entering the arena, the Imperial Forest Army quickly dispersed, surrounding the high platform left for the emperor to watch. Li Shimin accompanied the crown prince Li Chengqian, the third prince Li Ke, the fourth prince Li Tai, the military god Li Jing, the left prime minister Sun Wuji, the right minister Du Ruhui, the left Xiaowei general Su Dingfang, the hussar general Cheng Yanjin, the imperial historian Yang Su, the Zhongshu Ling Fang Xuanling, the right servant of Shangshu Gao Shilian and other more than ten important ministers of the court ascended the high platform. The rest of the entourage had to find a seat to watch.

By the time Li Shimin and others sat down, the Western Turkic Khanate, Gaochang, Liuzhao, Tuyuhun, Murowei, Khitan, Dashi, Goguryeo, Silla, Dongying and other countries had already found their own areas to sit down.

On the other side, Shaolin Temple, Wutai Mountain, Shenlong Sect, Tianzhu (Buddhism), Huajian School, Emei School, Tingyuxuan, Valley of the Wicked, and many other first- and second-rate forces have all appeared.

Outside the arena, he was surrounded by tens of thousands of people.

After Li Shimin's nod, Li Jing came to a small platform in front of the high platform and stood on a platform nearly six meters high. Li Jing can clearly take in everything around him.

When everyone saw Li Jing coming to the stage, soon the noisy crowd gradually quieted down. Everyone quietly watched this famous Tang No. 1 military god inside and outside the Central Plains! Li Jing looked around, in order to let people farther away hear him, Li Jing had to use his internal force, "First of all, on behalf of me, the Tang Emperor, thank you for coming!" Looking at the quiet surroundings, "In the next martial arts conference, as you can see, there are three martial arts platforms. On the first day, these three platforms will be played at the same time, and the winner will move on to the next round. When the number of winners is greater than 60, the lottery will be drawn again to choose the matchup. Until the top 60 rookies are selected, they will enter the competition for the top 30 tomorrow. Before the end of the competition, any loser can choose one person from the winner to compete, and the final winner will be selected, and each person will only have one chance to choose in each round, so take advantage of it. ”

After saying the rules of the competition in one breath, Li Jing looked around again, "Who else has any questions that can be raised!" ”

As soon as Li Jing's words fell, a burly man asked, "When it comes to duels, how can you decide the winner?" ”

Li Jing glanced at him and replied loudly: "The victory or defeat is based on one person flying out of the ring, or one person falling to the ground or shouting to admit defeat." ”

"Can I kill someone?"

Li Jing looked at the burly man, "Those who practice martial arts should value harmony and kill..." Without waiting for Li Jing to finish speaking, the burly man interjected.

forcibly suppressed the anger that was already churning in his heart, "As long as you don't mean to hurt people, you are not to blame for the past." ”

Sensing that his goal had been achieved, the burly man was silent.

"Isn't that person the great general of Tuyuhun, King Taimo?" In the crowd, there was a merchant who was often active in Tuyuhun, pointed to the burly man and whispered.

Ordinary people don't know much about this Tuyuhun general, but many martial arts people who often walk around the rivers and lakes are shocked in their hearts. Although I have never seen this person, there are rumors on the rivers and lakes that this person is already a master at the peak of the second-rate Martial King Realm. And this person is famous not for his strength, but for his murderous character. It is said that this man regarded killing as a pleasure, so a house was built in the backyard of the general's palace to hold prisoners of war. Every day, this man would be caught in a prisoner of war camp and tortured to death with his own hands. Ten years is like a day, and the person who died at his hands is definitely a terrifying number! Knowing this person's murderous name, they couldn't help but shudder.

"Amitabha, the poor monk thinks that what General Li said is right. Those who practice martial arts should value harmony, and stop at the point. Why should it hurt lives? ”

King Taimo glanced at Guangzhi with disdain, "You old bald donkey full of compassion, how can you not die on the battlefield?" If you are worried that your subordinates have lost their lives innocently, then hurry back to your Shaolin Temple to cultivate your Buddha! ”

"Amitabha, good, good. It's the poor monk who has too much to say! Guangzhi recited a Buddha name, sat cross-legged, and kept silent. No one understood, at the moment when Guangzhi sat down cross-legged, a little monk behind him nodded faintly and said, "Amitabha!" ”

In the direction of Wutai Mountain, an old monk wearing a big red robe whispered: "You have to spare people and spare people, just leave a way for yourself." ”

In the Tianzhu area, a lama answered: "The road was won by yourself, not given to you by others." As an authentic Buddhism, I would like to say: there are thousands of roads, and you can become a Buddha by taking the road of Shiva (the god of destruction in India)! ”

Hearing what the lama said, the old monk in the big red robe shook his head speechlessly, and didn't seem to intend to argue.

Li Jing stopped everyone from arguing about this issue any longer, and said a decisive word: "In the competition, casualties are inevitable. Until one side shouts defeat or flies out of the ring, otherwise the competition continues until the winner is decided. ”

"What's the problem?"

In the Dongying area, a Dongying person said in very awkward Chinese: "Please explain the reward of the final winner!" ”

Hearing the words of the Dongying people, the surroundings fell silent again. It seems that this is also what everyone cares about and is curious about. The reward for the victor will only be known in advance by the envoys of various countries and sects. For most people, no one has heard that there is a reward for the winner. At this time, most people are thinking about the same question, isn't this martial arts conference to compete for the title of the top ten sons?

Hearing this, Li Jing took a deep breath, "The final winner will not only get the title of the first prince, but also a copy of the local martial arts treasure book sent by my Tang royal family." And, the emperor will marry the person who won the first place, and marry Princess Ankang to him! In the end, I, Datang, will fulfill a promise made by the first son! ”

Even if they had already received the news before, but hearing this reward with their own ears again, the major forces couldn't help but stir in their hearts. Forget the false name of the first son, needless to say, the preciousness of the local martial arts book, no one will dislike his skills. Secondly, if you can marry Princess Ankang, this is a direct marriage with the Tang royal family! Even countries hostile to Datang were thrilled when they heard this reward. As long as you can get Princess Ankang, this is an extra talisman! Who in the world doesn't know that Li Shimin loves this Princess Ankang the most? As for the last one within my reach. This is even more significant, although there has been a strong emphasis on what we can do. But there are really not many things that can make a Datang out of his reach! It depends on how to maximize this requirement for him!

The major forces were shocked when they heard the news, not to mention the ordinary people! At this moment, as long as you are not stupid, you have already understood that this martial arts conference is far from being as simple as it seems. At this moment, even just the most ordinary civilians have already understood that we Datang can't afford to lose this martial arts conference! As long as you lose, the price is too great!

Just when everyone was still immersed in this generous reward, a lazy voice sounded from the area of the big food, "I didn't expect the dignified Datang to be so stingy." Just took out this reward, and I want to send everyone away? Or do you Datang know that you have no hope of winning at all, so you have to be so 'stingy'? ”

"Bold!" "Presumptuous!"

"Where did the madman come from, he dared to speak wildly, look at me Cheng biting gold..."

"Give me back!"

Cheng Yanjin looked at Li Jing angrily, "Senior Brother Li, why don't you let me kill this madman!" ”

Su Dingfang stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Biting Jin, and shook his head gently, "Listen to General Li, don't be impatient!" ”

Li Jing looked down at the civil and military officials who had to be angry below, and said sharply: "All of them are for me to go back and sit down!" ”

Ignoring Cheng Biting Jin, who was gritting his teeth, Li Jing looked at the old man who was talking wildly, "You are the Heavenly Master of the Great Food Country, Zhang Tianwei, right?" ”

"It's down there!"

"Okay, since you said that I am stingy, then tell me, what kind of reward does my Datang need to come up with in order to show my Datang's atmosphere?"

Zhang Tianshi is an old man with white hair and beard, a wrinkled face, small eyes, a black and white celestial master uniform of the Great Food Country, and a floating dust in his hand. People who don't know think that this is an old Taoist priest in which Taoist temple.

Hearing Li Jing's words, Zhang Tianshi's originally small eyes narrowed again, and he said in a tone that he was thinking about Datang, "It is worthy of being the first military god of Datang, it is really refreshing!" To show the atmosphere of Datang, a great country, is very simple. Ceded a province of land as the winner....""You dream that you bastard, my old Cheng can't bear it, Su Dingfang, you let me go, see if I don't slaughter this old miscellaneous hair!" ”

At this moment, not to mention Cheng Biting Jin, even Li Jing, who has excellent cultivation, almost couldn't help but shoot this person to death directly! Whether it is the people of Chang'an, the martial arts people, and even some sects around them, they all looked at Zhang Tianshi's ugly old face in disbelief, is this possible?

If it weren't for the fact that he knew that this person was Zhang Tianshi, who was the famous Great Food Country, Li Jing would have immediately asked the Imperial Forest Army to pull this person out and cut him down.

Taking a deep breath, Li Jing looked directly at Zhang Tianshi, "Don't you think this is impossible?" ”

Zhang Tianshi couldn't deny it, "Then to put it another way, today I will make a bet with your Datang." If I win in the end, your court will not only fulfill the previous promise, but also cede a province of land to me for the Great Food! On the contrary, if my inferior loses and you Datang wins, then I am willing to apologize to you in front of everyone, what do you think? "It's too much of a deception!" Li Shimin, who had not spoken, suddenly stood up, pointed at Zhang Tianshi, and said angrily: "You want to change my dignity for a single apology, who gave you confidence?" You're more than a fanatic! "And what about my life?" As if he was not talking about his own life, Zhang Tianshi added lightly.

"You!"

"I want the life of this old dog!"

"Lin Yi, you're crazy!"
