Chapter Fifty-Eight: Hand-to-hand Combat

Gao Lishi dragged a long tone and ran upstairs in small steps: "Cool skin ready!" ”

"Your Majesty, King Ning, the cool skin has been prepared, please use it slowly."

The maid beside the two took the initiative to step forward and carried the chessboard aside, and Gao Lishi personally served the plate and handed the two of them a chopstick.

"Come, King Ning, try the cold skin recipe offered by the people, how does it taste."

The Emperor took it upon himself to pick one up with a spoon and put it into his mouth, and immediately felt that it was extremely cool and slippery, and the smell of garlic and condiments made it even more delicious, but it was so slippery that juice splashed in his mouth.

When King Ning saw the emperor eating like this, he also picked up one with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it, nodded and said: "Sure enough, it is the best taste in the world, especially in this season of summer, it tastes even more delicious and refreshing, refreshing and refreshing." ”

Li Longji put down his chopsticks, and Gao Lishi handed him a silk scarf and wiped his mouth.

"Yes, it's very satisfying, call this folk strange man who makes cool skins."

"Whoa."

Gao Lishi pedaled downstairs, and after a while, he led Li Siye upstairs. Li Siye took a deep breath and bowed to the cross-handed: "Grass...... Wechen see Your Majesty. ”

Li Longji glanced at Li Siye, with a slightly surprised expression on his face. In the emperor's mind, folk cooks, craftsmen and craftsmen are either full of wooden faces or sharp-beaked monkey gills, and it is impossible to have such a square face. The Li Siye in front of him is completely the face of a military general, with sharp edges and corners, and a tall and strong body, which is very suitable for serving as the halberd chief of the royal honor guard. If he put on the bright light armor and stood in front of the palace gate of the Hanyuan Hall with both hands with a sharp sword, he would be a majestic warrior figurine.

The emperor stroked his long beard with satisfaction and nodded: "The Liangpi you made has been eaten by King Ning and Ning, it is very delicious, I want to ask you, why is the dignified seven-foot man, why do you want to mix around in the West Market, and still do these ......"

He pointed to the empty plate and didn't know what to say, after all, he had just eaten such a delicious meal, and he couldn't put down his chopsticks and said that it was a cheap business.

Of course, Li Siye understood what the emperor meant, raised his head and crossed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's wandering in the West Market is just a temporary expedient measure. ”

"Do you know how to fight?" Li Longji said with interest: "Show me how to punch and kick." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister learns martial arts, and he needs an opponent to be able to show his power."

"Okay, I'll pick you an opponent."

The emperor beckoned to the guards standing at the door of the building: "Wei Ning, come here." ”

The guard, Wei Ning, who was wearing a scarlet robe with a gold-inlaid belt around his waist, strode forward and crossed his hand towards Li Longji: "Your Majesty." ”

Li Longji pointed at Wei Ning and said: "This is my Qianniu Wei Zhonglang General Wei Ning, if you can compare to him in fists and feet, I will have another reward." ”

Wei Ning turned his head to look at Li Siye, pursed the corners of his mouth, and concealed his contempt well.

He crossed his hands towards the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it is inconvenient to open the building, can I go outside to compete with this heir brother." ”

"Accurate!"

Li Longji was in high spirits, and with a slight wave of his hand, he agreed to Wei Ning's request.

Li Siye and Wei Ning went downstairs one after the other and came to the open space in front of Chengyun Tower. To his surprise, the prince was also in front of the building with the long history of the Inner Mansion, but he didn't go in to meet Li Longji, and there were three other officials, I don't know if it was from the Prince's Mansion. Soon Yang Wei also arrived, he stood far away, deliberately not looking at Luo Changsheng, who was kneeling on the ground and was very embarrassed, but seemed to have no silver three hundred taels here.

Li Siye deliberately didn't look at these people, only made a cross hand salute to the prince from a distance, walked to the center of the field, pulled up the front hem of the missing robe and tied it around his waist, and gave a martial fist salute to Wei Ning opposite.

Wei Ning returned the salute and said with a smile: "Li Zhuangshi, please be merciful." ”

What he wanted in his heart was to defeat Li Siye within five moves.

Li Siye clenched his fists, his left fist in front of him in an offensive stance, his right fist in a defensive stance in the back, and his legs bowed slightly.

Wei Ning stood up straight, clasping his hands on his chest, as if he had made a decision.

Li Longji and Ning Wang Li Xian also went down to the first floor and stood on the steps of the building to watch the competition between the two.

Li Siye rushed forward suddenly, Wei Ning kicked a volley in a defensive stance, but Li Siye stopped abruptly, making his kick in the air.

Li Siye took the lead and punched straight punches, Wei Ning blocked with his elbow, and his knee slammed out. Li Siye was fortunate to be on guard and retreated half a body, but Wei Ning's change was also very fast, and he quickly changed from a knee collision to a forward kick, Li Siye quickly took two steps back, Wei Ning chased after him, or smashed his fist, or kicked with flying feet, this sharp offensive forced Li Siye to retreat again and again.

Although Li Siye retreated with ease, he also admired this person very much in his heart, just now he was indeed a little arrogant, thinking that the highest martial artist in the Tang Dynasty was also the level of Zaqilie.

Wei Ning opened and closed widely, giving Li Siye a chance to get close, he suddenly leaned up on his shoulders and hit Wei Ning's chest, the other party raised his knee and slammed it, Li Siye suddenly retreated, and came with a standard right hook, although it only hit Wei Ning's cheek, but it was enough to make him frightened.

Wei Ning had no waves on the surface, but there was anger in his heart, and the offensive in his hand was even more fierce. Li Siye dodged left and right, caught the empty space and poked forward sharply, and then quickly withdrew from a safe distance.

Li Longji stood on it and shook his head, Li Siye's playing style is really not good-looking, and it can't be used for individual performances, but in a solo fight, he controls the rhythm of this competition. As the king of Linzi when he was young, he also liked the fighting in the army very much, and he could also see some ways, and faintly felt that Li Siye was about to defeat Wei Ning.

Wei Ning, who was anxious in his heart, finally pressed his impetuous mood slightly, understanding that he couldn't defeat Li Siye in such a hurry, he carefully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the two, Li Siye seemed to be better than flexible in his body, able to advance and retreat quickly, and quick eyes and hands to quickly judge his flaws. To deal with such a person, he can only choose to fight in close quarters, using knees and elbows combined with sumo wrestling to restrain him.

For this reason, Wei Ning did not hesitate to resist Li Siye's punch with his chest, took the opportunity to wrap his shoulders with both hands, and slammed his knees towards his chest. Li Siye kept his knee down, and his other hand quickly clenched into a fist, and he exploded into a punch just a few inches away.

Wei Ning's chest shook, and his eyes widened in surprise, not understanding why Li Siye's fist strength could still be very powerful at such a close distance. There was only one question in his heart at the moment, how did he practice.

Li Siye threw three punches in a row with his strength, getting out of Wei Ning's control, he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and Wei Ning did not fight back. This arrogant Qianniuwei took the initiative to turn around and report to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the last general has lost." ”

Li Longji nodded and smiled: "Actually, I have long seen that in terms of fists and feet, you are indeed not Li Siye's opponent." ”
