In less than half a stick of incense, Liu Ling has already fallen behind, and if she goes on like this, she will lose this competition sooner or later.

Liu Ling could only sell a flaw immediately, Liang Zhou really quickly saw the opportunity, raised his wrist, and the sword in his hand quickly followed, Liu Ling on this side reached out to hold the sword and blocked, and the two famous swords in the world collided head-on, but the sword in Liu Ling's hand broke in response, and the sword body was broken into many pieces and fell to the ground, fortunately, Liu Ling was surprised to instinctively stagger the pace, and reluctantly dodged the sword in Liang Zhou's hand.

However, the swordsmanship in Liang Zhou's hand still reacted one step faster after all. Soon came back to his senses and came sideways with his sword, Liu Ling had no way to retreat, so he could only take the risk of stabbing with the half-truncated sword in his hand with his backhand.

The envoys from the southern frontier on that side quickly stood up with a frown, looking at the competition in front of me, it seemed that I was worried about their warrior.

Liang Zhou's sword was already pointed at Liu Ling's neck, but at the same time, the broken sword in Liu Ling's hand was less than an inch away from his face, as long as Liang Zhou took another step forward, he would definitely die.

That's a draw.

Ning Yu looked at the tense atmosphere in the ring, and quickly stood up and said to Xiao Ce:

"According to the minister's view, in terms of the result, the two samurai in the competition are on par, and this game should be considered a draw."

Liu Ling took Liang Zhou's sword empty-handed, and now his left hand was bleeding in an instant, dyeing his entire sleeve red, dripping to the ground, even if it was a draw, the price he paid was very large.

The ministers on the side were almost stunned on the ground, except for Ning Yu, they didn't know what to think for a while.

Xiao Ce quickly spoke: "Imperial Doctor Xuan is here." ”

Xiao Ce also frowned and looked at Liu Ling, who was still standing in the ring, with some anxiety in his tone.

Liang Zhou let go of the sword in his hand first, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and he glanced at the young man in front of him, and there seemed to be a bit of appreciation in his eyes:

"Your swordsmanship is not bad, the tricks used to resolve my swordsmanship just now were just learned, although a little rusty, but your master taught you very well, and you learned quickly, but it's a pity that your left hand shouldn't be able to use a sword from now on."

For those who practice martial arts, it is equivalent to a wasted hand.

Liu Ling's left arm trembled slightly because of the injury on his left hand, and his face turned blue and white due to excessive blood loss, but he still tried to make himself look calm and said to the person in front of him:

"I'm just a nameless little foot in Da Zhou, if I can use one of my hands to exchange this competition with Your Excellency for a draw, and don't embarrass us Da Zhou, then for me, this written test is very cost-effective."

Liu Ling said in a sincere tone: "Before I came to power, my master told me that she said that Your Excellency's swordsmanship is superb, and it is very likely that he is the most powerful swordsman in the entire Southern Xinjiang and even the Central Plains. ”

When Liang Zhou heard him say these words, the look in his eyes couldn't help but move.

Li Hanning wanted to stand up and walk over to take a look at Liu Ling's injury, but now in front of the envoys of other countries, with her current status, she could only sit in the seat first, but fortunately, the imperial doctor had already rushed over.

Liu Ling's left hand was seriously injured, almost visible to the naked eye, Liu Ling first followed Li Hanning to fight in the south and the north, and then followed Lu Changfeng, who had always been in the barracks, and his left arm originally had an adult old injury, and after this time, I am afraid that even if it is treated, he will no longer be able to hold a sword.

Liang Zhou's eyes showed a strange look, but he admired the courage of the young man in front of him a little, in fact, before he went to Da Zhou, he also thought about himself, the opponent might be Lu Changfeng or Li Hanning, but at the moment this unknown young man is eye-catching, Liang Zhou looked at Xiao Ce who was sitting high and said:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I have been competing with people for more than 20 years now, and today I am still a draw with others, this time I have really gained insight from the envoy Da Zhou, a little boy is still like this, it seems that your Da Zhou is indeed the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Xiao Ce was a little worried about Liu Ling's injury, in addition to being Li Hanning's apprentice, he was also a rare general in their Great Zhou, Xiao Ce frowned at the moment, and looked at Liang Zhou from a distance and said:

"I think Your Excellency has overdone it."

The southern Xinjiang warrior in front of him finally walked slowly, and returned to the side of the southern Xinjiang envoy standing behind him, the competition just now was dangerous, but fortunately, it was a draw, no loss or win, the envoy, all the time, the hanging heart finally let go, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Because the imperial physician of the Great Zhou wanted to give Liu Ling and deal with the injuries on his hands, he pushed them to the side hall together, and the guards guarding outside the main hall quickly came up to clean up the bloodstained places just now, and the state banquet for the envoys of southern Xinjiang was still in accordance with the established process, as if nothing had happened just now.

Li Hanning and Lu Changfeng each found a reason to quit, and they came to the side hall to visit Liu Ling.

As soon as Li Hanning entered the side hall, he heard Liu Ling shouting in pain:

"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts."

"Lord Liu Ling, but it hurts? Weichen and others try to be lighter, and please bear with me a little. ”

The imperial doctor in the hall was bandaging the wound and wrapping gauze, Liu Ling was covered in cold sweat in pain, and gasped straight out.

Lu Changfeng said to Liu Ling: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also worried about your injury, but you are in the main hall right now, and you can't come out for the time being, let me see how you are." ”

Liu Ling heard Lu Changfeng's voice and reluctantly tried to smile:

"Master, General Lu, you don't have to worry, everything is fine except for some pain, my injuries are not serious, speaking of which, after today, I will be famous in the Central Plains, and speaking of which, I am still the first person who can draw with Liang Zhou in swordsmanship."

Lu Changfeng sighed, glanced at Li Hanning, who was standing on the side, with a frown on his face, and knew that he was also a distressed apprentice:

"There are many people in this hall today who would like you to lose safely."

It's the same with Xiao Ce's side.

Liu Ling raised her head, looked at Lu Changfeng calmly and asked:

"It's a matter of a draw, and this contest is about the face of the two countries, so why lose?"

Naturally, he has a point. He couldn't let his master go up to take risks, and at that time, except for the people he knew, no one else in the palace had no intention of competing with Liang Zhou.

Right now, it's a teenage kid of him, and while he is injured, he doesn't forget to comfort Lu Changfeng and Li Hanning in front of him:

"Master, General Lu, don't worry, such a rare opportunity to make contributions is naturally fought for by everyone, and it is not easy for me to grab it."

But Lu Changfeng and Li Hanning both understood in their hearts that this was an opportunity to make contributions, and it was clearly a hot potato. The civil and military generals above the main hall are all extremely smart, and they all know in their hearts that this contempt can neither be lost, but it is impossible to win Liang Zhou unscathed.

Li Hanning glanced at the Imperial Doctor and asked, "How is the injury on his hand?" ”

The imperial doctor finally finished bandaging here, and then wrote a prescription:

"Lord Liu Ling recently needs to change the medicine once a day every three days, and after the wound scabs over, there is no need to wrap it in gauze again, and it will take about half a month."

Li Hanning nodded and said, "This trip is really a doctor Lao." ”

Here, Liu Ling just got up from the chair, and just instinctively wanted to close her hand and shake it, but found that raising her hand caused a heart-rending pain, and immediately stopped.

The imperial physician noticed this: "Lord Liu Ling has been resting these days, and the minister and the other imperial doctors must try their best to make the adult recover as before." ”

But the injuries on their hands are very clear to themselves, and the people who practice martial arts also understand in their hearts that the injuries are like this, where can they talk about the four words of recovery as before.

Liu Ling glanced at the hand that was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and then at the forehead full of cold sweat in front of him, close at hand:

"In the future, there will be Dr. Lao."

"Lord Liu Ling, this is sent by the samurai who competed with the Lord just now."

Someone opened the curtain and walked in, Li Hanning looked up, it was Xiao Ce's imperial guard, and after the guard came in, he saw that Lu Changfeng and Li Hanning were there, and greeted him again:

"General Lu, General Li, when the demonstrator brought this medicine over just now, he said that it was quite effective in treating external injuries, and told me to let me give this medicine to Lord Liu Ling."

Liu Ling said: "Then please convey my gratitude to the warrior just now." ”

He took the white jade bottle.

Lu Changfeng, who was on the side, waited for the guards to leave before he spoke:

"Won't you check it?"

Li Hanning, who was standing on the side, shook his head and said, "The medicine that Liang Zhou sent over at this time will not be a problem. ”

At this point, she still trusts Liang Zhou, after all, she has fought with him on the river bank in southern Xinjiang before, Liang Zhou is one of the few righteous gentlemen in southern Xinjiang, he was in the ring just now, and he did not hesitate to appreciate the young man in front of him, Li Hanning could also see that he probably didn't want Liu Ling's left hand to be abolished because of this competition.

It would be nice if such a person was not an enemy.

Li Hanning was thinking so in his heart, and when he walked over, he saw the palace guards open the curtain and walked in, and Xiao Ce followed him tightly in a prince's regular clothes.

The imperial physician and the guards guarding the hall immediately knelt down respectfully when they saw the comer:

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"No courtesy."

The guard who came in just now waved his hand at Taiyi and the other guards on the side, and they all relied on the air to push down, and soon there were only a few people left in the side hall who they were getting along with.
