At noon on the second day, Li Bin finished his practice and pushed the door out.

Finding that the disciple Yun Shi was sitting outside the door, when he heard the master come out, Yun Shi got up and said, "Master, the King of Chu came to you in the morning and said that there was an emergency. I said that the master was practicing in retreat, and the king of Chu said that he would wait until the master finished practicing, and he went to the living room to wait. I'm afraid that someone will disturb Master's practice, so I've been guarding here. After Yunshi finished speaking, he scratched his head with his hand and smiled cutely.

Li Bin patted his beloved apprentice's arm and went straight to the living room, Li Bin pondered: "Qi Xing, the king of Chu, personally mobilized the people to find him, something must have happened, I hope things are not so bad." ”

As soon as Li Bin entered with his front foot, Qi Xing, the king of Chu, greeted him, held Li Bin's hand and said: "Brother Li, at today's Hajj Conference of the Envoys of All Nations, King Jin and his right-hand man Hua Qingke made a big ugly appearance in front of his father. ”

"What's the situation?"

"It's a long story, let's sit down and talk." Qi Xing motioned for Li Bin to sit down and speak.

"At today's Hajj conference, the Turkic mission deliberately found fault and provoked, saying that it would try to throw pearls with Daqi."

"Throwing beads?"

"Well, it's just to put a small cylinder ten feet away, and the opening of the cylinder is about the size of the mouth of the teacup we are tasting. The two people who throw the pearls each take ten pearls the size of grapes as a throw, and whoever throws the most pearls last wins. ”

Li Bin smiled and said: "Since the Turks are intent on provocation, they must have come prepared, and Daqi can not accept it." ”

"But the bad thing is that the Turks are openly flaunting their might in front of the embassies of various countries, and Daqi has always regarded itself as a great country and a great power. If you don't take on this challenge of the Turks, it will be a matter that will greatly damage the prestige and face of the country.

What's more, the relationship between the Turks and the Great Qi has always been not harmonious, and there are many small and medium-sized countries around the Great Qi and the Turks, if they see that the Great Qi is provoked by the Turks in public and dare not fight back, the consequences are not just as simple as losing the pearl competition, those who are still waiting and watching between the two major countries of Great Qi and the Turks, and the wavering small and medium-sized countries are estimated to see that the Great Qi is openly provoked and humiliated by the Turkic mission and are helpless, what will they say after returning home?

Diplomacy is no trivial matter, and if these countries fall to the side of the Turks together, the military strength of the Great Qi and the Turks, which is still fairly balanced, may be reversed and changed, and the surrounding diplomatic situation will become more and more unfavorable to the Great Qi. Without the constraints of these countries, when the Turks start a war with the Great Qi again, they will no longer have any scruples, and the Turks will concentrate all their elite troops to move south. ”

After listening to Qi Xing's analysis, Li Bin smiled and said in his heart: "It's another death to save face and suffer crimes, in order to support the image of a great country, Daqi secretly doesn't know how many dumb losses he has suffered." ”

"Brother Li, you say, isn't the Turkic Mission's calculation of this provocation very insidious?" Now, Qi Xing has relied on Li Bin very much, and cares about and values Li Bin's opinions and attitudes.

Li Bin said: "Then take the challenge of the Turks to throw pearls, the one next to King Jin is called Huaqing, and his martial arts are good." Also, Ye Zhenren, the national teacher of Great Qi, is the number one master of the Kyushu martial arts list, with his old man's town, can the Turks still be rampant? ”

"The Turks just expected that Ye Zhenren would make a move, so the rules they proposed for the bead throwing competition were that each side would have three people, and the winner would be determined by the three battles. It's a pity that Ye Zhenren has been practicing in retreat for a month, and he has not yet left the customs. And Huaqing, who was held by everyone with high hopes before the competition, lost again, and now the Turks must be celebrating the victory of the Zhuzhu competition in advance in their hearts. Qi Xing said with some frustration.

Li Bin said: "It seems that the martial arts of the Songshan faction are lacking in fingering, otherwise with Huaqing's understanding and qualifications, even the Turks would not be able to win." ”

King Qi Xing of Chu was puzzled and asked, "Why is Brother Li so sure?" ”

"I have come into contact with a lot of masters of the Songshan faction, and their swordsmanship and palm skills are good, but I have never seen anyone from the Songshan faction who has profound fingering attainments. From His Royal Highness's description, it can be seen that the key to this bead throwing competition is in the hands, especially in the strength and accuracy of the fingers. Li Bin directly broke the key point of the Turkic bead throwing trick.

"Since Brother Li is so confident, he must be sure of winning the competition, it seems that I am worthwhile." Qi Xing, the king of Chu, rekindled hope in his heart.

"There is no definite saying about the world, I can only say do my best."

"Between our brothers, Brother Li, don't hide it, I don't know what you can do. Let's go, come with me, my father should be in a hurry. Qi Xing immediately got up, took Li Bin's hand and rushed out the door.

Li Bin walked to the door and suddenly asked, "Wait, didn't Your Highness say that the rules of the Turkic competition are three people each, and there are three competitions?" Huaqing has one game, and there are two more, right? ”

Qi Xing, the king of Chu, responded: "Well, Huaqing lost one game, and there are two games left." ”

Li Bin said with a smile: "I was in a hurry and almost made a mistake, Your Highness, wait a minute, I'll come when I go." ”

As soon as the words fell, the person had disappeared, Qi Xing was surprised, fortunately, he had already seen Li Bin's martial arts, except for being surprised that Li Bin's brother had made great progress in martial arts in just a few days, he didn't have too many other ideas.

After only a minute or two of delay, Li Bin led his disciple Yunshi back.

The bead throwing competition is a great opportunity for the cloud lion with superb fingering to display what he has learned.

The three of them galloped towards the Great Qi Palace. Entering the imperial city, along the way, the king of Chu held high the Longxing sword given by the emperor, and all the Yu Linwei who set up a card check dared to ask more, and could only watch Li Bin and the three of them gallop by.

Riding a horse in the imperial city is really refreshing. The palace maids, eunuchs, and officials who met on the road all stopped in amazement to look at the three people who were galloping on their horses.

On weekdays, let alone riding a horse like Li Bin, even if you speak loudly and noisily, you will be reprimanded. Riding a horse in the imperial city without the emperor's permission is a great crime of arrogance.

When passing by a palace, Li Bin glanced at it in a hurry, saw that the palace was wrapped in plain white silk and white silk, and asked with some curiosity: "What's wrong in this palace?" ”

"The palace here is the residence of the prince's biological mother, Hui Guifei, today is the death day of Hui Guifei, at this time of year, my father and emperor have to go inside to remember Hui Guifei."

"Oh, I see."

The king of Chu led Li Bin's master and apprentice all the way to the location of the Hajj Conference, the Great Qi Liming Palace.

Liming Hall is the palace of the Emperor of Daqi to receive foreign missions, the hall is wide and bright, and the decoration and scenery are also very distinctive, in addition to the cultural characteristics and styles of Daqi, it also draws on the excellent art and culture of various countries.

"Father, the people who participated in the pearl throwing competition on our side have been brought by the sons." The king of Chu knelt down and replied.

"The grass people have seen the emperor." Li Bin bowed down and hugged his fists to perform the martial arts salute, and his disciple Yunshi knelt on the ground like the king of Chu to salute.

At this time, hundreds of pairs of eyes in the hall looked at each other, and they didn't know what Li Bin came from, but they didn't kneel when they saw the emperor.
