Xin Lingjun smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "It's not that I haven't sent someone to assassinate An Li in the past ten years, but every time I go, everyone disappears into the palace, even the swordsman who is close to Wei Mu's level. And according to my observation, An Li did not mobilize a large number of guards at that time, so it means that King Wei must have a master close to Wei Mu's strength, and there must be more than one. ”

Xinlingjun didn't say that An Li had a master of the level of Cao Qiudao, it was basically impossible, and no one at the level of Cao Qiudao was reluctant to hide it, so he was offered to be a mascot.

Li Chong secretly calculated and said: "You don't have to worry about the master, relatively speaking, I am better at killing people than martial arts, especially killing ordinary people." As long as you can find an opportunity to get close to Anli, if you don't, it will be very troublesome to enter the palace, and you need a large number of people to contain the palace guards. Although the king should be internal in the palace, I think the king's internal ability is very limited, isn't it? ”

This is nonsense, if Xinlingjun's internal should have the ability to click An Li early, Xinlingjun's internal should also be able to ventilate the news and fish in troubled waters.

Xin Lingjun smiled slightly, and said: "What Mr. Li said is very true, but now there is a good opportunity, Cao Qiudao wants to challenge Mr. Li, then I can publicize this matter to everyone who knows, the first swordsman of Wei and the first swordsman of Qi must participate in the duel of Wei Wang Anli!" Otherwise, my soldiers of Great Wei would have an opinion on An Li, but I don't know how sure Mr. Li is about dealing with Cao Qiudao. ”

Li Chong took a sip of wine lightly and said in an extremely confident tone: "Your Excellency only needs to consider An Li's problem. ”

"Hahaha......" Xin Lingjun laughed with extreme confidence. Li Chong looked funny in his heart, don't look at the current Xinling Jun's high-spirited appearance, all in control, but the result of this guy is not very good. It is not clear how Li Chong died in Xinlingjun, but one thing Li Chong is sure of is that Xinlingjun failed to win the throne in the end, which means that Xinlingjun has not been able to fight against King Wei Anli in the end.

For a man of great talent and who has already shown extraordinary ability, it is a sad story to not be able to defeat a mediocre talent.

In the next few days, Daliang was extremely lively, and the masters and magnates of various countries poured into the city like a tide to watch Li Chong and Cao Qiudao compete in swords, and even under the deliberate participation of some people, Li Chong and Cao Qiudao had to compromise and put the venue for the sword competition at the main gate of the Daliang Palace. If it weren't for these people to add fuel to the fire, Li Chong and Cao Qiudao would prefer to find a secluded and uninhabited place to compete with the sword, because Li Chong did not regard the sword competition with Cao Qiudao as a life-and-death battle, and Cao Qiudao chose to purely want to duel with Li Chong, intending to improve his swordsmanship.

In fact, even Li Chong, the initiator, was puzzled by everyone's enthusiasm, Cao Qiudao is the number one master in the world, but the number one master in the world seems to be a little too appealing. In fact, Li Chong was a little brainwashed by the history books of China, and the names left in the history books of China were all great writers, poets, lyricists or something, and there were almost no martial arts masters.

But before the Tang Dynasty, the situation was not like this, before the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese nation was brave and good at fighting, one could fight several different races, and even the literati practiced martial arts, for example, the great poet Li Bai was a master of swordsmanship, and before the Tang Dynasty, it was an era of fierce martial arts. However, after the Tang Dynasty, it was over, and China began to advocate the style of extravagance, Confucianism was dominant, and the warriors were brutally suppressed by the literati, and the sad result was needless to say, indirectly or directly led to the first time that China was ruled by a foreign race, and the whole territory fell.

In this era, China's admiration for poetry and poetry has become perverted, and there are even cases of killing people for a poem, such as writing that the flowers are similar every year, and the unlucky children are different every year. Although the admiration of swordsmanship during the Warring States period did not reach the level of literature admired by later generations, it was not far behind.

During the Warring States period, it was more important to be able to fight than to be able to speak.

Now that the sword competition between Li Chong and Cao Qiudao has been opened, there are many nobles and commoners who are betting on it, and even Ji Yanran has put all his property on Li Chong, ready to make a good profit.

Cao Qiudao and Li Chong were not people who dragged mud and water, and soon the two sides agreed on a time to compete with the sword, and three days later, in the early morning, the south gate of the palace, that is, the Suzaku Gate, had a showdown. In fact, Li Chong would prefer to fight with Cao Qiudao on the roof of the palace and have a pirated decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City, but it is a pity that even if Wei Wang Anli agrees with Cao Qiudao, he will not agree, Cao Qiudao will not work lightly, can he still build a ladder up and down the wall of the palace.

The summer day came very early, and it was already bright just after Yin, and the Suzaku Gate of the Daliang Palace began to be lively. Some of the chamberlains came out of the palace and began to carefully clean the ground at the city gate, so meticulous that the larger stones were packed up, while the guards in armor drove piles on the ground, and then connected the wooden stakes with red silk in turn, and it was obvious that the middle of the red silk was a reserved battlefield.

There are also some people busy in the city tower directly above the Suzaku Gate, in addition to cleaning and scrubbing the ground, there is also a pitch-black table case in the city tower, behind the table case is set up a silk woven Luo cover, look at the pattern on the Luo cover to see that this is the seat of Wei Wang Anli, the only seat.

The field was quickly cleaned up, and within a quarter of an hour the attendants had returned to the palace, but the palace guards did not leave, and surrounded the battlefield with a guard every few steps.

After the first batch of people to watch the battle arrived, these people were basically the generals of the Wei State, and they were very tacitly divided into two teams to sit in the east and west, vacating the position facing the city gate. The generals of the military were followed by the magnates of the Wei State, and these people sat down in groups of three or five, each talking to each other. The next to be present are the powerful swordsmen of various countries, and the positions of these people are behind the Wei military, and they are trying to make a gesture that we are passing by to see the excitement and will not be involved, which is why they leave the position closest to the battlefield to the military.

The south was the most chaotic, and the rest of the spectators were all concentrated in this direction, from the dignitaries to the peddlers and pawns, and hundreds of guards worked hard to maintain a passage.

When the hour was approaching, in a low sound of musical instruments, An Li, the king of Wei, finally appeared, An Li was dressed in black, with a rusty mountain pattern and a green crown. Under the service of the waiter, An Li knelt down, and the two guards with swords stood quietly, one on the left and one on the right, and the waiter who was waiting for An Li to sit down suddenly changed a fan in his hand, and it fanned silently.

Waving at the crowd under the city wall, Anli squinted her eyes as if she was asleep.
