Xiao Lian's invitation to fight was not a casual remark. On the day of the emperor's funeral, during the 27 days of the national funeral, the war on the front line became more and more stale.

30,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty descended from Deng County and took Xiangyang directly. Xiao Zijing led the An army to defend Xiangyang. Xiao Ziqing originally guarded Xiakou to confront Eastern Yuzhou of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but he didn't want the Northern Wei Dynasty to send a surprise army across the river to raid Sizhou. Sizhou faces Huaishui, behind is Anlu, left is Xiangyang, right is Xiakou. Wu Yong, the general who defended the city, was turned against by the Northern Wei Dynasty and opened the city to meet the enemy.

The fall of Sizhou is equivalent to breaking the Huaishui line, and suddenly the front line is passive. After Sizhou is Anlu, if Anlu is lost, the Northern Wei army will go down the Yangtze River and will soon be able to reach Jiankang. Although the Northern Wei Dynasty was not good at water warfare, Shou County had been surrounded by heavy troops from the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Xiao Zhaoxiu, who was originally in Nanyu Prefecture, rushed to aid Shou County, but for a while he couldn't divide his troops to aid Yingzhou and Yongzhou. Xiao Zijing and Xiao Ziqing had no choice but to surround Sizhou.

Xiao Yuanda's situation in Southern Qinzhou was not much better. He confronted Northern Liangzhou, Xiao Yuanda went to war several times with the intention of taking Northern Liangzhou, but the Northern Wei army was very cunning, Xiao Yuanda went out of the city seven times, and they all retreated to Northern Liangzhou as soon as they fought. Xiao Yuanda seemed to be slashing on cotton with a knife, so he was not depressed.

After Shen Wenji escaped from Stone Town, it was like a hidden danger was buried around Jiankang, Xiao Zhaoye sent Zhou Panlong to guard Stone City, and Zhou Fengshu guarded Nanruyin. Zhou Panlong's father and son were originally fierce generals who killed the enemy on the battlefield, but Xiao Zijing, Xiao Ziqing, Xiao Yuanda and others were all restrained and could not defend back, so Zhou Panlong and his son could only guard the last checkpoint outside Jiankang City.

There is another reason, although Xiao Zhaoye did not say it explicitly, He Jingying knew that Xiao Zhaoye did not believe in these princes, even if Xiao Ziqing was an imperial uncle who had always stood in his camp, Xiao Zhaoye did not believe it.

All of a sudden, there was no more unscrupulous general available.

Originally, the ministers of the court and the central government scoffed at the fact that a monk was the general of Long Xiang, until Xiao Lian issued a letter of war to Xiao Chen, and the government and the opposition were shaken.

A monk actually provoked the leader of the Yulin Dynasty!

Xiao Chen was also very inexplicable when he received the war letter. The war book even stated: "Friendship first, competition second." ”

Such straightforward words were written by a monk? Moreover, he and this monk have only met once in the city tower, where did the friendship come from.

However, Xiao Chen still responded, and the person who dared to challenge him was the first.

The competition is held on the school grounds. The emperor and queen have arrived. The ministers and soldiers who came to admire the school were even more tight.

Xiao Chen was still wearing the clothes of his Yulin Eunuch, wearing soft armor. Xiao Lian wore a black power suit, which made his figure appear more and more straight, with broad shoulders, and thin upper body lines smoothly tightened into the narrow waist, and when the clothes behind him were attached to his body, he could see the well-defined muscles on his back. A pair of glass-colored pupils with sword eyebrows into the sideburns, when he is not smiling, there is a coldness in his pure eyes, and when he laughs, he raises the corners of his mouth again, so unserious.

At least in the hearts of all the female viewers present, Xiao Chen lost this fight before he could fight.

The minds of several little palace maids completely deviated from the competition to the side. Just looking at Xiao Lian from a distance, he blushed, but he was afraid of being discovered by others, his eyes were dodgy, and his heart was not complicated.

Xiao Chen also saw that Xiao Lian was a practitioner, and said in a deep voice: "Master Huaiying, you should at least wear soft armor and have no eyes on your sword." ”

In the stands, He Jingying also frowned slightly. Xiao Lian just wanted to earn some fame before he went on the expedition, so that he would not be looked down upon. But who did he pick badly, he actually picked Xiao Chen? Even if he picks ten people to fight with him at the same time on the school field, it is better than picking one Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen's position as leader was not obtained by sloping his beard and beating horses.

Xiao Lian saw He Jingying's frowning from a distance, raised his head and smiled at He Jingying, and blinked.

He Jingying: "......"

He Jingying suddenly had the illusion that a peacock had opened the screen in front of her.

Let alone......

He Jingying didn't dare to look at Xiao Zhaoye beside her. The flower peacock said on the school field that the screen will be opened, is Xiao Zhaoye blind?

Xiao Lian said seriously to Xiao Chen: "The poor monk doesn't look down on Commander Xiao, it's just that the poor monk is used to dressing lightly, and if he wears soft armor, it will get in the way." ”

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, let's stop at it." ”

Xiao Lian's long legs stretched half a step, with one hand behind his back, and the sword in the other hand pointed obliquely at the ground: "Commander Xiao, please." ”

Xiao Chen was also unambiguous, and the sword came out with the sound, stabbing straight into his chest. Xiao Lian took a half-step back on tiptoe, and the horizontal sword was sharp, and Xiao Chen's second sword had already stabbed out.

"Commander Xiao is very skilled!"

"You're not bad either!"

Between the two of them, four or five moves have passed. Xiao Chen's kung fu is pure and Xiao Lian is fast and fast, Xiao Lian is not lagging behind, although Xiao Chen is attacking, Xiao Lian is defending, but every sword Xiao Lian is receiving steadily.

Xiao Chen sighed secretly in his heart: "I underestimated it before when I was young to have such kung fu." ”

Just thinking about it, Xiao Lian found a flaw, Xiao Lian took a big step and came with a sword. The sound of breaking the sky sounded, Xiao Chen took three steps back, and had no choice but to forcibly take Xiao Lian's sword with a horizontal sword in his chest, only to feel that the tiger's mouth was numb, his arm shook heavily, and the sword in his hand almost flew out of his hand.

Xiao Lian's body was flexible, leaning forward to press Xiao Chen's body lightly, and he retreated half a step like a ghost, and suddenly the long sword circled, and from top to bottom he slashed out a sword obliquely towards Xiao Chen's left arm.

Xiao Chen originally held the sword in his right hand in a blocking posture, Xiao Lian didn't have time to stop him, so he had to stagger half a step to the right, and only stabilized his body with the sword on the ground. Xiao Lian's sword brushed past Xiao Chen's left arm. Xiao Chen knew that this move was made by Xiao Lian to let him, otherwise as long as the sword deviated by one inch, his shoulder would have been pierced by the sword at this time.

He Jingying stood on the stage, her eyes fell on Xiao Lian and she couldn't take her eyes off. Xiao Lian was already one of the best masters when he used Xiao Zhaoye's body before, but after all, it was not his own body, and both strength and muscles were discounted. The current Xiao Lian is no longer the same as before.

Xiao Chen's sword sank three inches into the ground, and he didn't draw his sword, allowing the sword to stick to the ground. He was interested, dropped his sword and stood in front of him: "Come again!" ”

"Good!" Xiao Lian said briskly.

Xiao Lian shook his sword to the ground and slashed out with his palm. Xiao Chen gave way to the left, and with a flick of his right hand, Xiao Lian's strength was removed. Xiao Lian's palm seemed to be glued to Xiao Chen's arm, and the palm wrapped around Xiao Chen's arm, taking Xiao Chen out with Xiao Chen's strength.

Xiao Chen's lower plate was extremely stable, and he quickly stood firm, turned around and slapped Xiao Lian's wrist with his backpalm, and his right palm sank suddenly, pressing Xiao Lian's wrist down. Xiao Lian's right arm is horizontal, and Xiao Chen's wrist is glued. Suddenly, Xiao Lian's right arm flipped over, and he grabbed Xiao Chen's wrist with a tiger-shaped claw with his backhand. As soon as Xiao Chen's hand was released, Xiao Lian pulled out his left hand and struck him on the crook of his arm.

Xiao Chen let go and retreated sharply, and Xiao Lian's long legs swept over. Xiao Lian kicked Xiao Chen's arm alternately with his feet, and Xiao Chen retreated again and again, unexpectedly unstable. Xiao Lian's figure was extremely fast, and his figure flashed behind Xiao Chen, reaching out to support Xiao Chen's shoulder, Xiao Lian stood firm and did not fall.

Xiao Lian smiled and bowed his hand to Xiao Chen: "Commander Xiao will accept it." ”

Xiao Chen approvingly: "Bow to the wind." ”

"Won!"

The crowd erupted in applause. This fight was wonderful, and everyone was also impressed by Xiao Lian.

The corners of He Jingying's mouth rose, Xiao Lian won, and she was naturally happy in her heart.

Although Xiao Zhaoye's face is not very good-looking, Xiao Lian is undoubtedly telling everyone that there is one more fierce general in Daqi, which can restore morale.

Xiao Zhaoye said loudly: "Okay! General Long Xiang is really heroic! Xu Longju, reward! ”

Xiao Lian half-knelt in the school field: "The minister does not ask the emperor for reward, but only asks the emperor to let the minister go into battle to kill the enemy, repel the northern dog, and return my Daqi rivers and mountains!" ”

The surrounding people were also stirred up by Xiao Lian's words, and they all said: "Repel the Northern Dog!" Give me back the rivers and mountains! ”

"Fight off the northern dogs! Give me back the rivers and mountains! ”

He Jingying stood on the stage, and a layer of fog gradually appeared in her eyes. The sudden appearance of such a man's blood in the palace made He Jingying's already cold blood have some temperature.

"Okay, when General Long Xiang returns triumphantly, I will reward them together! I will give you 30,000 soldiers and horses, and order you to gallop to the aid of Anlu and take back Sizhou! ”

Xiao Lian said loudly: "General Mo is commanded!" ”
