Liang Yuanjin, the commander of the 100,000 Praetorian Guards in Kyoto and the little prince of the Su Palace, finally returned to Kyoto safe and sound from the hands of the enemy.

Su Wangfu.

Not long after Liang Yuanjin returned to the house, King Su and Princess Su didn't have time to greet him, and King Jing Yang Xuanao came to look for him.

Liang Yuanjin had no choice but to invite Yang Xuanao to his study to talk.

Yang Xuanao came to Liang Yuanjin for nothing more than to be the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

Yang Xuanao thought that King Su had told Liang Yuanjin about his competition for an official position in the court, so he didn't drag his feet or shy away from anything, and said, "Commander Liang, your father must have told you, right?" ”

Liang Yuanjin was confused when he heard this, and he didn't know what to do, and said blankly: "My father? What did he tell me? ”

"Didn't he tell you?" Yang Xuanao was a little stunned.

"Tell me what?" Liang Yuanjin smiled, "I just returned home with my front foot, and you heard the news from your back foot, and I didn't even have time to take a sip of tea!" ”

When Yang Xuanao heard this, he suddenly realized and smiled: "So that's the case, no wonder." ”

Liang Yuanjin smiled and asked, "What is King Jing talking about?" “

Yang Xuanao's expression was serious, without thinking, and he went straight to the point: "You have suffered a defeat this time, above the court, this king once threatened in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty that you are not worthy of continuing to serve as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and this king wants to replace him." ”

It's not that Yang Xuanao doesn't speak through his brain and says this kind of thing to stimulate Liang Yuanjin, but because he knows that Liang Yuanjin is a person who thinks he is a righteous man and a gentleman, so he said this in a bright and upright way, and he didn't want to hide it in front of him.

Anyway, in the end, things always have to be explained clearly, that's what happened.

Liang Yuanjin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "When will King Jing be good for this official position?" ”

Yang Xuan avoided answering arrogantly, and said with a gloomy face: "The emperor is also dissatisfied with you because of your defeat this time, and he also wants to remove you, originally your official position is within easy reach of the king, but unexpectedly, the third princess came forward to speak for you, she proposed that the two of us decide the position of commander of the Praetorian Guard, and the emperor also agreed, this is the way it is, do you understand?" ”

Liang Yuanjin is not a fool, Yang Xuanao said it so thoroughly, how could he not understand?

It's just that why Yang Xuanao came to tell him this in person, he was a little confused.

Seeing that Liang Yuanjin didn't speak, Yang Xuanao asked, "Do you understand?" ”

Liang Yuanjin responded calmly and kept a smile: "I understand, I just don't know, why did King Jing come to tell me this in person?" ”

Yang Xuanao's face sank: "Let me ask you, do you hate me?" I want you to tell the truth! ”

Without thinking about it, Liang Yuanjin immediately said solemnly: "I can only say that King Jing is a very ambitious person, as a courtier, who doesn't want to make contributions to the court?" Hate, that's not going to be talked about. ”

"Since you have said so, then this king will tell the truth!" Yang Xuanao was serious, staring at Liang Yuanjin with straight eyes, "As you said, this king is an ambitious person, but this king is only ambitious, but he has no chance, so, this competition, I hope you can give this king a chance, to be honest, with you, this king really has no certainty that he will win." ”

"What does King Jing mean, do you want me to let you?" Liang Yuanjin already understood the meaning of Yang Xuanao's words.

Yang Xuan nodded solemnly.

Liang Yuanjin had a gloomy face and did not speak.

"This king's words have been explained, and he has taken his leave!" As soon as Yang Xuanao finished speaking, he didn't hesitate, got up and left.

This is Yang Xuanao's cleverness, he understands that the decision on this matter is in Liang Yuanjin's hands.

Therefore, he can only persuade him with good words, if he forces Liang Yuanjin urgently, maybe as soon as he gets angry, this matter will be blown up.

In the face of Yang Xuanao's commitment, Liang Yuanjin really began to make difficulties.

What boy doesn't have big ambitions?

There is nothing wrong with Yang Xuanao's approach.

To let it or not to let it?

He was undecided.

Liang Yuanjin will have such a mentality, which shows that Yang Xuanao's method of seeking each other is correct, and the results have been half achieved.

Liang Yuanjin thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't make up his mind, and was about to get up to talk to his father, King Su.

I saw that Princess Qingtian was already coming......

"Sister Qingtian is here, why don't you send someone ......first," Liang Yuanjin stepped forward to greet Princess Qingtian.

Princess Qingtian interrupted him: "You have suffered, how are you?" They didn't do anything to you, did they? ”

Liang Yuanjin smiled: "Okay! Not even a hair is missing, come, what's the matter with Sister Qingtian, sit down and talk slowly. ”

"I'm relieved to hear you say that." Princess Qingtian sat down as she said.

Liang Yuanjin sat down next to Princess Qingtian, and said dejectedly: "I'm really useless!" ”

Princess Qingtian bluffed her face and said: "Are you useful, let's not talk about it for the time being, my brother told me that if I don't obey you, you have to salute first and then soldier or something, isn't it?" ”

Liang Yuanjin hurriedly explained: "It was just my momentary disgusting words, I didn't mean to, Sister Qingtian, you know my heart for you." ”

"I don't blame you, and my brother doesn't blame you." Princess Qingtian smiled, but immediately sank her face again, "I'll tell you something, King Jing Yang Xuan is proud of him......"

Liang Yuanjin took over and said: "I already know about this matter, he wants to fight for my official position, thank you for standing up for me." ”

Princess Qingtian stared at him and said with concern: "It seems that your father has already told you, what are you going to do?" ”

"How do I do that?" Liang Yuanjin didn't understand what Princess Qingtian meant.

Princess Qing Tian explained, "I mean, do you still want to continue to be the commander of this Praetorian Guard? ”

Liang Yuanjin hesitated and did not reply.

"After a defeat, you are discouraged?" Princess Qingtian was a little angry.

Liang Yuanjin opened his mouth and said: "According to Sister Qingtian's meaning, do you want me to defeat King Jing and continue to be the commander of the Praetorian Guard?" ”

Princess Qingtian thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "For me, and for your father, don't let us down!" ”

Liang Yuanjin smiled bitterly.

"Father Emperor has already ordered someone to draft a decree, and the decree is to inform you and King Jing to compete in the Praetorian Guard barracks at noon tomorrow, you should prepare well!" Princess Qingtian dropped her words and got up to leave.

Liang Yuanjin frowned, his face full of sadness.

King Su entered the room and asked him, "What did Yang Xuanao and the third princess say to you?" Dad told you that Yang Xuan was proud of him......"

"I know everything, I know what to do, Dad, don't worry!" Without waiting for King Su to finish speaking, Liang Yuanjin resolutely got up and left.

……

It was midday.

Praetorian Guard barracks.

On the round stone ring, Liang Yuanjin, who was holding a spear, and Yang Xuanao, who was holding a big knife, stood majestically.

Above the ring, sat Cui Congwu, the secretary of the military department, and Princess Qingtian, and Lianxiang waited behind Princess Qingtian.

Under the ring, there were dense generals of the Praetorian Guard.

The time has come, and it's time to start the competition!

Cui Congwu shouted in a deep voice: "The time has come!" The joust begins! ”

Yang Xuanao stared at Liang Yuanjin: "How is it?" Now can you tell me your decision? ”

Liang Yuanjin smiled indifferently: "Resign yourself to fate!" ”

Resigned?

What does this mean?

Yang Xuanao frowned and said angrily, "Have you decided?" ”

"Come on!" Liang Yuanjin raised the spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear pointed directly at Yang Xuanao.

"!" Facing Liang Yuanjin's attitude, Yang Xuanao couldn't help but scold secretly, his face was full of anger, the big knife in his hand was slanted, and he stared at Liang Yuanjin with a fierce light.

Cui Congwu urged loudly: "Hurry up!" ”

"Yikes!" Yang Xuanao roared and rushed straight towards Liang Yuanjin, when he was about to get close to Liang Yuanjin, he totoed a little, jumped in the air, and the big knife in his hand plummeted, slashing Liang Yuanjin's head.

Liang Yuanjin was not in a hurry, did not move, and raised the spear horizontally with both hands.

"Dang!"

The sound of swords and guns striking resounded in the sky.

Yang Xuanao took advantage of the situation to land, and the big knife slashed at Liang Yuanjin's body.

Because Yang Xuanao's knife technique was fast and fierce, Liang Yuanjin could only resist with a long spear diagonally.

The two of them attacked and retreated, and their steps hurried, and soon, Liang Yuanjin had been forced to the edge of the ring by Yang Xuanao.

Cui Congwu smiled.

He was thinking: King Jing still has two hits!

Princess Qingtian frowned.

She was thinking: Why does Liang Yuanjin only defend and not attack?

In the ring, the big knife in Yang Xuanao's hand was pressing the spear in Liang Yuanjin's hand hard, trying to force him out of the ring.

Liang Yuanjin resisted to the death, and Yang Xuanao failed for a while.

Yang Xuan lowered his voice and said to him, "You won't let me? ”

Liang Yuanjin also lowered his voice and replied: "Originally, I planned to let you, but now, I have changed my mind!" ”

"Why?"

"Because the anger in your heart is too heavy!"

"I'm too angry?"

"You know it yourself!"

"Now it seems that there is no difference between you and whether you give in or not."

"I don't think so!"

"Yikes!" Liang Yuanjin roared and pushed hard, Yang Xuanao actually took a few steps backwards, almost unsteady on his feet.

The generals of the Praetorian Guard were thinking: In the end, it is still Commander Liang who is powerful!

Liang Yuanjin finally began to attack, only to see his spear come out, piercing Yang Xuanao's heart.

Yang Xuan was startled, and hurriedly erected a knife to protect it.

"Dang!"

The spear stabbed the broadsword.

The spear in Liang Yuanjin's hand took advantage of the momentum and slashed upward, and the tip of the spear slashed towards Yang Xuanao's throat and chin.

Yang Xuanao was shocked and frightened, and in a hurry, he actually abandoned the knife and retreated.

Liang Yuanjin was full of energy and made rapid progress.

Yang Xuanao's footsteps were unsteady, and the tip of Liang Yuanjin's spear was about to reach his throat.

Liang Yuanjin advanced step by step, and Yang Xuanao retreated step by step to avoid.

"Boom!"

Yang Xuanao stepped on the air, and the person retreated under the ring.

The winner is decided!

"Good!"

Among the generals of the Praetorian Guard, I don't know who took the lead in shouting.

"Good!"

A deafening cheer rang out from under the ring.

Yang Xuanao stood up from the ground and looked at Liang Yuanjin in the ring with a dead face, his grim and cold eyes revealing a thick murderous aura.

His eyebrows shook suddenly, and the murderous intent in his heart suddenly rose, he must not let Liang Yuanjin go!
