Chapter 154 [Imperial Competition]

Liao Long and Wu Yingyuan sat side by side in a very important seat below King Zhao, and next to him were Tao Fang and Wu Yanwei, and in the middle of the school were Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin, who each held their own swords.

"The two of them are not only competing in front of this king today, but also competing for beauty and ladies, for the sake of fairness, this king has found Cao Qiudao, who is recognized as the first sword saint in the world, as the verdict and witness of today's competition" Looking at Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin, King Zhao nodded and said with satisfaction.

As soon as King Zhao's words fell, Cao Qiudao stood up directly from the action, and said in a thick tone: "The competition begins!" ”

Seeing that after the referee announced the start of the competition, Lian Jin picked up his sword with a smile and turned to look at Xiang Shaolong, who had no feeling of competition at all, but Xiang Shaolong was different, only to see him slowly turn around and look at Lian Jin with a serious face, just when the two were about to distance themselves and prepare to fight, a team of murderous people came to the school field.

Just as they approached the school field, the soldiers who were originally running suddenly stopped, and then stood aside, leaving only a mighty military general and two guards to continue to ride forward, and then the three dismounted at the same time, only this military general held a helmet in one hand and walked towards the school with the sword at his waist.

"Ahh General Li Mu? When he saw the face of the person who came, King Zhao suddenly exclaimed with a look of surprise and some worry, and then hurriedly got up from his seat and stepped forward to greet him, and then Zhao Mu, Wu Yingyuan and other important people all got up and followed behind King Zhao to greet General Li Mu.

"The last general Li Mu, see the king" After coming to King Zhao, Li Mu saluted him very respectfully.

Seeing Li Mu saluting to himself, King Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said with a concerned face: "General Li, don't be polite, it's been a long time, you seem to have cleared a lot" For Li Mu, who has been guarding the border pass and resisting the Huns, King Zhao's attitude towards him can be described as unusual.

Seeing Li Mu come back suddenly, Zhao Mu's expression was a little strange and said, "General Li suddenly returned to the palace, is there an emergency at the border gate?" ”

"Humph! Juluhou, don't worry, Li has resisted the Xiongnu in the border pass for more than ten years, and now everything is comforted at the border pass, so I came back to Handan to visit my relatives by the way" Li Mu snorted coldly, and said without giving Zhao Mu a good face.

Hearing Li Mu's words, the corners of Zhao Mu's mouth raised slightly: "The border defense is with General Lao Li, I hope General Li will pay more attention."

Looking at Zhao Mu with a scrutinizing expression, Li Mu tilted his head and said disdainfully: "You are also very worried about the affairs of the DPRK and China, I think you should do your part."

"Ben Hou has his own share, General Li doesn't have to worry about it, but General Li should be careful at the border pass," Zhao Mu responded with a sneer, while Liao Long listened to the conversation between the two on the side, and thought a little puzzled, "The smell of gunpowder when these two people talk is very strong, don't they deal with each other?" ”

After learning that Li Mu's sudden return to Handan was not due to the urgency of the border pass, but just that he was homesick and came back to visit relatives, King Zhao took a breath and then invited him to watch the competition between Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin.

"This sword contest is to decide who belongs to the beauty, it can be said to be a gratifying thing, and it will also be a good story in the future, in the next proposal of two, stop at the point, you can avoid injury and anger, and you can also avoid hurting people's lives" Cao Qiudao, who was interrupted by the emergency, said a few more words after Li Mu and everyone sat down again, and was interrupted again when he was about to announce the start of the competition again.

Zhao Mu, who had just sat down and tasted a sip of wine with a smile on his face, was immediately unhappy when he heard Cao Qiudao's words: "King, all competitions are done with all their might, and they fight with all their might, it is really difficult to stop at the point" Zhao Mu had planned to let Lian Jin kill Xiang Shaolong in the martial arts competition, if the point was stopped, then his plan would be invalidated.

"Well, what Julu Hou said is very true" Hearing Zhao Mu's words, King Zhao nodded in agreement.

"I'm curious, you're not a swordsman, how do you know that they can't do it when they compete, all those who are strong in martial arts must be able to retract and release their strength freely, and Shaolong and Lian Jin are also strong in martial arts, how can they not do this, besides, both of them are rare talents, does Lord Hou want to watch Zhao Guo lose one of them?" Liao Long held the wine glass and said without raising his head.

As soon as Zhao Mu heard Liao Long's words, he immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "It's ~~" again~~"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Mu was directly interrupted by King Zhao's outstretched hand: "Hey~~ What Liao Shaoxia said is not unreasonable, Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin are rare talents in our country, and any loss is the loss of my Zhao country, two warriors, today's fair contest, I decided to stop at the point, so as not to be injured and angry"

"The joust begins!" After King Zhao finished speaking, Cao Qiudao immediately began to announce the start of the competition.

Now that King Zhao has spoken, Zhao Mu has lost his plan to kill Xiang Shaolong in the bright light, and after secretly glancing at Lian Jin, Zhao Mu looked at Liao Long with murderous intent, and Liao Long, who was aware of this murderous aura, actually raised a glass and smiled at Zhao Mu, seeing this scene, which made Zhao Mu make a cruel decision in his heart.

Since Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin had distanced themselves this time, as soon as Cao Qiudao announced the start of the competition, Lian Jin pulled the sword scabbard and threw it aside, and then played a cool sword flower and made a handsome POES holding the sword with both hands waiting for Xiang Shaolong's action.

Xiang Shaolong's face was expressionless, his face was sallow, his lips were a little pale, and he took the wooden sword behind his back to his chest, and also pulled out a sword flower, but the visual effect was not as cool and handsome as that of Lian Jin.

After seeing that Xiang Shaolong was also ready, Lian Jin didn't say a word, and ran directly to Xiang Shaolong and swung his sword and slashed at his neck, the speed was so fast that people could only see a sword shadow, and before anyone could react, the wooden sword in Xiang Shaolong's hand didn't know when it had resisted Lian Jin's iron sword.

After blocking Lian Jin's slash, Shaolong and Lian Jin were in a stalemate for almost two seconds, Lian Jin suddenly pushed Xiang Shaolong's chest with both hands to resolve the stalemate between the two, and then kept changing his posture to control the sword to chop Xiang Shaolong without breaking, leaving him not even a little free opportunity.

Although Lian Jin's dense attack speed has been suppressing Xiang Shaolong and has no chance to fight back, but Lian Jin has no way to break through Xiang Shaolong's defense, Mozi's defensive ability is not ordinary, a seemingly weak wooden sword in Xiang Shaolong's hand changed angles one after another to defend against this Lian Jin's attack, and every time it seemed dangerous, it would block the attack from a tricky lower level.

And when Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin were competing, Liao Long in the stands frowned a little.
