The atmosphere in the hall was very condensed, Chen Gong and Sang Ying stood opposite each other, both of them put their hands on the hilt of the knife, but neither of them continued to make the next move. Both sides are accumulating momentum, and both sides dare not act rashly until they know the true strength of the other party, both of them are veterans of a hundred battles, and they know very well what kind of situation they will be in if they are taken advantage of by the other party.

Time passed one by one, but neither of them moved.

But even so, the people in the hall did not feel very boring, but more nervous, everyone clearly felt the slightest murderous aura mixed with the air, and they were sure that as long as the two of them drew their knives, one of them would inevitably bleed when the knife was collected.

"Ambassador An, can Sang Ying win?" Princess Gesang didn't know martial arts, so she asked nervously. Princess Gesang's performance made An Lai think that she was worried that Sang Ying would be sent to the East Palace after she lost, and An Lai said with a guilty face, "Your Highness, don't worry, Sang Ying will not lose." ”

Now he can only comfort Gesang, otherwise what else can he say? No matter how smooth his previous mission to the Tang Dynasty was, no matter how powerful he was in Tubo and how high his prestige was, if Sang Ying lost this time, he would give the princess to the East Palace, and he would definitely become a sinner in Tubo when he returned to Tubo.

"Oh." Princess Gesang replied in a low voice, and stopped talking.

An Lai thought that the princess was worried about the battle situation on the field, and when he saw that Princess Gesang didn't speak, he didn't take the initiative to ask her again. In fact, Princess Gesang didn't speak, but secretly prayed in her heart, praying that Sang Ying could be defeated at Chen Gong's hands, so that she could enter the East Palace smoothly.

And she cheered for Sang Xiong just now, just to provoke Sang Xiong's murderous nature, so she felt that it would be better if Sang Ying was stabbed by Chen Gong, who called Sang Ying Lu Dongzan's henchman, and she could use Chen Gong's hand to get rid of her brother's enemy's henchmen, she felt that there was nothing more cost-effective than such a deal.

Ay! The most poisonous woman's heart!

Confucius said that only villains and women are difficult to raise.

These two sentences are really appropriate for Princess Gesang.

"Can Hong'er Chen Gong win?" Empress Wu also asked Li Hong.

Chen Gong is the general of the guards selected by Gaozong to Li Hong, Chen Gong's strength Gaozong is very clear, Chen Gong is Li Hong's personal guard general, and Li Hong is also clear about Chen Gong's strength, but the Empress Wu is not clear about Chen Gong's strength, so he asked Li Hong. Because Chen Gong won the Sang Bear, Princess Gesang successfully entered the East Palace, and she was able to successfully carry out her undercover plan.

"Please rest assured, Chen Gong is at least seventy percent sure that he killed Sang Ying." Li Hong said confidently.

Just saying that Chen Gong and Sang Ying's strength are equal, Sang Ying may not be Chen Gong's opponent, now Chen Gong has an embroidered spring knife in his hand, how can Chen Gong with a sharp weapon in his hand be compared to Sang Ying?

Seeing that Li Hong was so sure, Empress Wu glanced at Gaozong again, and saw that his eyes were clear, without a trace of worry, thinking that Chen Gong was selected by Gaozong to Li Hong's side, Empress Wu was relieved, and no longer asked anything, but moved her gaze to the main hall.

The ministers in the hall also guessed in their hearts whether Chen Gong could win Sang Ying. Many of them are Wenchen, they only look at the body and momentum, in terms of Chen Gong and Sang Ying's body, the Sang Ying with a wide waist and shoulders is more powerful than the thin Chen Gong, and then in terms of body shape, the tall and mighty Sang Ying is more imposing than the medium-sized Chen Gong.

Therefore, they not only expected this to be a wonderful competition in their hearts, but also hoped that Chen Gong would not lose.

"Qiang-" Suddenly, just when everyone couldn't bear the killing atmosphere in the main hall, Sang Ying pulled out the scimitar at his waist and pounced on Chen Gong fiercely. His figure was tall, and he had already killed Chen Gong in front of him with one step.

"-Qiang!" Chen Gong drew his knife at the same time, when he did not advance, but chose to retreat, he saw Sang Ying forcing in front of him, and when the scimitar slashed at him, his body was exposed backwards, and he retreated six steps in one breath, which dodged Sang Ying's powerful knife.

Sang Ying missed with a knife, bullied himself again, and slashed at Chen Gong with another knife. Chen Gong's body flew back again, and this time he only took three steps back to dodge Sang Ying's knife.

From the beginning of Sang Ying to the present, only two knives were made, and Chen Gong was forced to take nine steps back, so the ministers in the hall were very worried, is Chen Gong so scummy? This is obviously a rhythm of weak strength!

Chen Gong's retreat was so obvious, and he was so powerless at the beginning, which made the Empress Wu on the side also worried, and couldn't help but glance at Gaozong and Li Hong, and saw that the two were indifferent to this, so she breathed a sigh of relief again.

He really couldn't help but worry, because Princess Gesang's entry into the East Palace was too important to her.

She didn't pay much attention to Li Hong's words before, so from today onwards, she couldn't help but take her son seriously.

Because from Li Hong's methods of dealing with An Lai today, she can see that her son is not simple.

Maybe An Lai and the ministers in the hall can't see it, but she can see that all this today seems to be An Lai's initiative to find fault, but in fact, Li Hong is really planning, he is playing An Lai, this is a way for him to humiliate An Lai...

can play the Tibetan ambassador An Lai and the deputy envoy Sang Ying like monkeys, and it also makes people feel that Tubo is oppressing people with power and the prince is just forcing the fight back, which is indeed not only a strategy can be done, but also has to have excellent psychological quality, to put it bluntly, it is necessary to shoot when it is time to shoot, and it is not soft to be ruthless...

"Bell-bell-bell-" Just when Empress Wu was thinking like this, Chen Gong, who made everyone worry, suddenly moved, and saw him stabbing straight with a long knife, and his body rushed forward, rushing towards Sang Ying like a sharp arrow.

Sang Ying's body is taller than Chen Gong, and his steps are naturally much fuller than Chen Gong.

Chen Gong rushed at him so fast that he didn't react until the tip of the embroidered spring knife touched his chest. Sang Ying's body flew back, and at the same time, the scimitar in his hand waved, slashing at Chen Gong one by one, he took eleven steps back, and the scimitar in his hand was seen eleven times, which blocked Chen Gong's stab, and his body was able to stand firm.

"Ahh

The ministers in the hall exclaimed, they were still worried about whether Chen Gong could defeat Sang Ying one second, and the next second they saw that Chen Gong was just a stab, and he almost ended Sang Ying's life, how could such a dramatic scene not surprise them incredibly.

"It's amazing—"

Empress Wu couldn't help but admire. After seeing Chen Gong's strength, Empress Wu found out that Gaozong unknowingly arranged this master to be a guard by Li Hong's side, and at this moment she found that she still underestimated her husband, who was very important to him, her husband was still not ambiguous at all!

"This-" An Lai saw this scene, and was so shocked that he was about to fall, Sang Ying is not a fierce general in Tubo, but his strength is not low, otherwise how could he enter Lu Dongzan's eyes and be Lu Dongzan's confidant general.

But compared with Chen Gong, the difference in strength between the two is so big.

This, this is better than a fart!

At this moment, An Lai had the urge to stop the competition and let Sang Ying admit defeat. Because he vaguely felt that if he continued to compare, Sang Ying would not end up so easily. But such thoughts only disappeared from his mind for a moment. If Sang Ying loses, he will lose Princess Gesang to Li Hong, how can he explain to the people of Tubo in this way?

"Is that all there is to it? Come again—" Chen Gong sneered. I saw him raise his knife again, and he stepped out and slashed at Sang Ying.

Sang Ying was frightened by Chen Gong's stab just now, and now he still has palpitations, seeing Chen Gong slashing at him again, he hurriedly raised his knife to block it. Hearing the sound of "bell", the scimitar in Sang Ying's hand broke into two, and Chen Gong's knife continued to slash at his shoulder.

"Poof—"

I heard the sound of the blade penetrating into the bone, and then I saw Sang Ying's shoulder burst into blood, and Chen Gong slashed Sang Ying's left shoulder with a knife. Because Sang Ying took a step back again the moment Chen Gong's blade stepped into his shoulder muscle, he managed to dodge Chen Gong's knife and save his arm.

However, with this step of withdrawal, he was forced to the edge of the main hall by Chen Gong-

"The knife is broken—" someone exclaimed, "Chen Gong's long knife is really sharp—"

"Chen Gong's knife looks very weird, why is it so sharp, what is it forged from?"

"Is this the saber that the prince gave to Chen Gong?"

When the ministers in the hall saw this scene, they did not discuss whether Chen Gong won Sang Ying, but moved their eyes to the war knife in Chen Gong's hand. With just one knife, it cut off Sang Ying's scimitar, which shows the sharpness of this war knife and its hardness.

When many generals saw this scene, their eyes showed envy, how good it would be if they could get such a sword, if they had such a knife, they would be able to save their lives at least several times on the battlefield!

"Hey—"

An Lai's face was as dead as ashes when he saw this scene, and now he could see that what he was thinking about was whether Sang Ying could win, but whether Sang Ying could walk down completely.

"Huh-" Princess Gesang exclaimed in surprise when she saw Chen Gong's war knife cut Sang Ying's scimitar. She didn't exclaim how sharp Chen Gong's war knife was, but she thought that she had just seen the same war knife on Li Hong's body. A war knife is sharp to this extent, it will not be an ordinary iron casting, it is already good to be able to produce one, and now Li Hong still has one, which makes her curious, is there more than one such war knife in Datang?

"This knife is so sharp?" Gaozong also exclaimed, and hurriedly asked Li Hong, "Hong'er, what kind of knife did Chen Gong use?" ”

"Father, this is an embroidered spring knife designed by his son." Li Hong said, then took the other embroidered spring knife on his waist, handed it to Gaozong and said, "This kind of knife is not only conducive to horse warfare and chopping, but also suitable for killing without fighting, which is very suitable for our Tang Dynasty soldiers to use." ”

How to make the embroidered spring knife mass-produced and make the embroidered spring knife become the standard weapon of the Tang Dynasty is a problem that Li Hong has been considering. He didn't mention this matter to Gaozong before, because he was afraid that if he rashly proposed it, not only would he not get Gaozong's support, but he might also be opposed by the ministers. Now Chen Gong has made the embroidered spring knife famous, and Gaozong and the generals in the main hall have seen the sharpness of the embroidered spring knife. At this time, he proposed to mass-produce embroidered spring knives and let him replace the standard weapons in the Tang army, and it is estimated that not only will he not be opposed, but he will also get everyone's power support.
