Morning sun, morning breeze.

The army that went east to Mount Tai to seal Zen has been drawn from Luoyang City, and the marching team scene is quite huge, very spectacular.

I led Wang Long, Ben Niu, Dog Baby, and Yang Jian, riding on horses, walking on both sides of Tang Xuanzong's dragon chariot, and there were nine inner masters walking in front and behind the dragon chariot.

The army traveled all the way, and at noon, they came to the vicinity of Shaoshan Town, and the army rested in place and buried the pot to cook.

Tang Xuanzong came out of the dragon chariot, and Gao Lishi hurriedly stepped forward to support Tang Xuanzong and assist Tang Xuanzong to walk down the dragon chariot.

When I saw Tang Xuanzong walk out, I immediately greeted him and said, "Your Majesty, the army has arrived in Shaoshan Town."

Tang Xuanzong: Jiang Aiqing, at this pace, will you be able to reach Mount Tai before August 15?

Me: Back to the emperor, I can definitely get there.

Tang Xuanzong: That's good.

After Tang Xuanzong said this, he raised his head and looked around, and after a while, he said: The scenery of this Shaoshan town is not bad!

Me: Your Majesty, Shaoshan Town is located in the west corner of the Songshan Mountains, only a dozen miles away from the Shaolin Temple.

Tang Xuanzong said "oh" and said: When I have free time, I will also go to Shaolin Temple to have a look.

Me: This is a great blessing for Shaolin Temple! In addition, the Shaolin Temple presided over the true master and the first master of the Dharma - one - this - read - novel {y}{b}{d}{u} courtyard without a phase, are the monks of this dynasty, the emperor can also go to the two masters to learn about literature and art.

Tang Xuanzong: Jiang Aiqing, after the completion of the Taishan Zen sealing this time, when I returned to Chang'an City, I went to Shaolin Temple by the way.

Me: Yes.

After the army had eaten lunch, it continued along the official road and marched eastward.

When I left Shaoshan Town, my heart immediately became nervous, as if I had formed a conditioned reflex, and as soon as I arrived at this place, my body automatically adjusted to a state of high tension.

However, I'm not at all worried about the sneak attack of the people from the Bowl of Porridge Sect right now. On the contrary, I want them to attack the army, so that I can destroy them and not have to think about how to deal with them every day.

At this moment, I only felt a gust of wind blowing, blowing my face and ears were faintly painful, and I couldn't help but sigh: What a strong wind!

Wang Long: Brother Jiang, this wind is a bit strange, it's July weather, but this wind is like the cold wind of the wax moon, blowing people with pain in their faces and ears, this is extremely unreasonable, there must be something strange about this wind?

Everyone present felt very confused, and when they were at a loss, they heard Yang Jian muttering: What a strong sword qi.

When I heard this, I was shocked.

Surprised: This is the first time since I met Yang Jian that he has spoken more than one word;

Second surprise: If this is sword qi, then it means that there is a master nearby, and I can't tell whether he is friend or foe, which brings a great threat to Tang Xuanzong's safety.

Me: Brother Jian, protect the emperor's safety.

Suddenly, I saw a cold light flashing in the sky, and a bolt of lightning slashed directly at the dragon.

The speed of this lightning bolt is ten times faster than the speed of my wind, and it is not an exaggeration to say a hundred times.

It wasn't until the moment when the lightning was very close to the dragon chariot that I could see clearly that it was originally a man and a sword, but it was as if the human sword had become one.

Seeing this scene, I reacted, this is to assassinate Tang Xuanzong!

I just wanted to shout for help, but before I could speak, a lightning bolt flashed next to the dragon chariot, and it flew towards the lightning flying from the sky.

It was too late, but it was fast, as soon as the two lightning bolts touched, they only heard the sound of "Zheng", and the two lightning bolts immediately separated, and they saw the two hanging in the air.

I immediately shouted: Escort.

Eighteen masters of the Great Inner Dynasty could not drain the water around the dragon chariot, and Ge Shuhan also brought all the soldiers to surround it, and wrapped Tang Xuanzong's dragon chariot like a zongzi, and wrapped it up in groups.

I was stunned, looked up at the two people hanging in the air, and realized that the assassin was actually Sima Tu, the number one swordsman of the Southern Zhao Kingdom.

This is the first time I have seen Yang Jian out of the sword, in my mind, I admit that he is a master, but I did not expect him to be such a master.

I made up my mind and thought to myself: this is a duel between two of the world's best masters, and it must be a good show that cannot be missed.

But seeing Yang Jian's sword, the sword body is one foot and seven inches long, and the hilt is three inches long.

This is a giant sword, and the whole sword looks cold and murderous.

See also Sima Tu's sword, the sword body is one foot and one inch long, and the hilt is one inch long.

This is a sword that looks very delicate, although it is delicate, but it is also cold and murderous.

The two of them hung in the air, staring at each other, and the leaves around them began to sound without wind, obviously they were competing for internal strength.

Finally, Yang Jian took the lead in taking out the sword, and he stabbed directly at Sima Tu with a sword.

However, I couldn't tell where his sword was stabbing at Sima Tu; It can even be said that his sword can't stab any part of Sima Tu, and it seems that all parts of Sima Tu can be stabbed.

Between the lightning and flint, I saw Sima Tu walking with the sword, instantly reaching the realm of human and sword integration, and resolving Yang Jian's fatal move.

I was really dumbfounded, and thought to myself: this is really cooler than watching a movie in the cinema, if this Sima Tu was not an assassin, I really want to give them some applause.

Me: Brother Long, who do you think are the peerless swordsmen of today?

Wang Long: According to Mr. Tianji's "Jianghu Swordsman Ranking", the first swordsman in Jiangnan is Liu Changfeng, followed by Kunlun Sword Saint He Bisheng, Qi Xianzhuang Hua Speechless, Lingnan Sword Sect Lin Zhengdao, and Meishan Old Man Feng Mingzi.

As soon as I heard this, I thought to myself: My master is so superb in swordsmanship, I should have known that I should really beg his old man to teach me two more tricks, so I don't have to rely on others to help me get ahead.

Me: I've heard of it.

Wang Long: Kunlun Sword Saint He Bisheng and Meishan Old Man Feng Mingzi have withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, judging from the current situation, if Yang Jian and Sima Tu are willing to participate in the ranking, then these two can replace He Bisheng and Feng Mingzi.

Me: Brother Long, this Kunlun Sword Saint's apprentice Qin Youwei is really bad, he can't even keep his master's ranking.

After saying this, Wang Lung and I both laughed, laughing and laughing, and felt that I didn't seem to have the capital to make fun of him, and I couldn't keep my master's ranking?

I looked at Yang Jian and Sima Tu again, but seeing that the swordsmanship of these two should be between the two of them, every move of Yang Jian was unexpected, but every move of Sima Tu was as fast as lightning.

Therefore, the fight is quite intense.

Me: Brother Long, this Gongsun Auntie is really a genius, her sword moves are really weird!

Wang Long: Indeed, according to legend, Zhang Xu, the grass saint of this dynasty, did not write very well in his original handwriting; However, by chance, Zhang Xu watched Gongsun Auntie's sword dance, and realized the essence of cursive writing, and since then the writing has been unpredictable, and a generation of people has been achieved; There is also a painting saint Wu Daozi of this dynasty, who also saw Gongsun Auntie dancing with a sword by chance, from which he realized the essence of painting.

As soon as I heard Wang Lung's words, I thought: This Gongsun aunt is really amazing, she danced a sword casually, and she actually taught such two characters who have been passed down for thousands of years, which is really amazing.

Me: Brother Long, according to what you say, I really want to meet this Aunt Gongsun.

Wang Long: Whether you can meet Aunt Gongsun depends on whether Brother Jiang has this fate.

But at this time, whether I have the fate to meet Aunt Gongsun is not my main concern.

At this moment, my main concern is this duel, who will win?

Of course, I hope that Yang Jian wins; Otherwise, everyone present would not be able to stop Sima Tu from assassinating Tang Xuanzong.

I turned over and dismounted, and said to Tang Xuanzong in the dragon chariot: Your Majesty, the assassin is about to be defeated, please don't worry about it.

Tang Xuanzong: Jiang Aiqing, I believe in your ability very much, I am painting in it, do you want to come and enjoy it?

As soon as I heard Tang Xuanzong say this, I immediately felt very down-to-earth in my heart, and said: Thank you for the emperor's trust, the last general will take down the assassin first, and then come to appreciate the emperor's masterpiece.

Tang Xuanzong: Who are the assassins?

I: I am Sima Tu, the first swordsman of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Tang Xuanzong: Nanzhao Kingdom, Nanzhao Kingdom has surrendered to our dynasty for more than ten years, do you want to rebel again?

As soon as I heard Tang Xuanzong's words, I immediately recalled the scene when Sima Tu came out of Shangguan Ming's mansion, and thought: It is very likely that Nanzhao State did not accept the rule of our dynasty and planned to raise troops to resist, so they wanted to kill the emperor with heart-devouring Gu poison, so as to cause civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, so they took the opportunity to fight back, but they didn't want to fail with poison, so they simply sent the first swordsman to assassinate the emperor, so as to achieve the goal of civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, they would raise troops to resist.

Thinking of this, it seems that the conspiracy about Nanzhao has been revealed.

Me: Back to the emperor, Nanzhao is indeed disobedient, and I am afraid that it will start another war against our dynasty.

Tang Xuanzong: If I can tame him once, I can tame him a second time, and if Nanzhao really dares to resist, this time I will let the whole country disappear.

Me: I will obey the order.

I continued to watch the duel between Yang Jian and Sima Tu, but I saw that these two were still evenly matched, attacking and defending each other.

At this moment, I only heard Yang Jian shout softly, and a sword in the oblique stab pierced Sima Tu's heart, this move was extremely secretive, and he was about to stab Sima Tu's heart.

However, Sima Tu's speed was too fast, and his swordsmanship had also been practiced to the realm of the unity of human and sword.

Therefore, Sima Tu saw that this sword was about to stab his heart, not only did he not retreat to dodge this move, but instead caught up with the move, and stabbed Yang Jian's throat directly with a sword in his hand.

In the midst of this lightning and flint, I thought the two of them would die together; No, just in the blink of an eye, the two of them all landed.

But seeing the two of them standing on the ground with their backs to each other, more than ten meters apart, the sword in their right hand was downward, and their left hand was naturally drooping, and they were holding a rag in their hands, as if they had been torn off each other's sleeves.

I only heard Sima Tu laugh out loud and said: I didn't expect that in addition to Liu Changfeng, there was such a young master in the Central Plains, and I would meet again.

As soon as Sima Tu finished speaking, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight like lightning.

I saw that Sima Tu had already walked away, so I came to Yang Jian's side and said, "Brother Jian, are you okay?"

Yang Jian put the rag in his left hand into his breast pocket, and replied with his standard murderous eyes, saying that he was fine.

I think that when these two masters face off, the victory or defeat is often in the millimeter, when they stop each other, it should be a feeling of heroes cherishing heroes, otherwise, Yang Jian would not have collected the rags on Sima Tu's sleeves into his pocket.

I saw that Yang Jian was fine, so I hurriedly ran to Tang Xuanzong's dragon chariot and said: Your Majesty, the assassin's light skills are too high, let him run away.

Tang Xuanzong: Even if he runs, he won't be able to turn the sky alone, and then it's important to hurry.

Me: I will obey the order.

I walked over to Goshuhan.

Me: General, gather the soldiers and continue on your way.

Goshuhan: Yes.

The army was assembled at once and continued to march towards Mount Tai.

I was right away, and I kept thinking back to the picture of Yang Jian and Sima Tu fighting just now, and I wanted to understand some of the true meaning of swordsmanship, and maybe I could become everyone.

However, I haven't forgotten my big thing, that is, to pay attention to the raid of the Bowl of Porridge Sect, the current situation has not only not become simpler, but more complicated, that is, not only has a bowl of Porridge Sect want Tang Xuanzong's life, but there is also a Nanzhao Kingdom eyeing the side, so the burden on my shoulders is getting heavier and heavier.

However, at this moment, I feel very lucky; Because, I'm not fighting alone.
