Chongzhen deliberately arranged this competition, the purpose was to try the prince's martial arts, and also to see if Li Yan's skills matched the rumors.

As for the prisoners of the thieves, they are nearing the end of their disposal, killing some of them, warning some of them, and mainly raising the value of some of the thieves.

just waited for the end to sell with Li Zicheng at a price.

And this Li Gongzi is naturally Li Zicheng's spokesperson.

Li Yan's martial arts cultivation, Chongzhen and one of them can be seen, it is the 5th layer of the refining realm, which is about the same level as the prince.

Chongzhen's planning this time can be described as killing many birds with one stone.

At this time, the figures of the two turned around, and the two swords were stirred together.

The sword light flickered, the cold wind suddenly rose, and the sound of gold and iron resonating was endless.

Of course, these Ming generals hope that the prince can win, and it will be over after three strikes and five divisions.

Wang Chengen also secretly ordered Jinyiwei's crossbow arrows to quietly aim at Li Yan. Han Yin and Yang Wanli were secretly prepared, and they must not let the prince suffer.

Although the emperor has a decree in advance, it is not allowed to do it without permission.

But they were able to take precautions.

If this is in the palace, under the emperor's nose, let the prince have an accident, and those of them who are slaves and courtiers will only have a dead end.

Wang Chengen is in the palace, he knows Chongzhen well, and knows that his most typical thing is that he likes to settle accounts after the autumn, whether he says it or not, whether he says it or not.

It was the first time that these soldiers and thieves of the Ming army had seen such a scene, and it was rare for these two to fight each other.

In particular, the civil and military officers of the Ming Dynasty were intently watched, and they were amazed, and many people still whispered about it.

"The prince is so powerful."

"Only fifteen years old, with such skills, he deserves to be the Prince of Daming!"

"I've never seen the prince show his martial arts before."

"It is said to be the emperor's own handbook."

"Can I never see the emperor use bow and horse martial arts before?"

"There must be martial arts secrets in the palace, and the princes have also practiced them, but they usually hide them deeply."

"Yes, yes, God bless me."

"But this Li Gongzi is not good at stubble."

"That's natural, the twenty-two generals under King Chuang are the most powerful, and I heard that Li Gongzi is among the best." ……

Seeing the two fighting, Chongzhen's face was calm, the prince's martial arts were passed down by Chongzhen himself, and of course he knew it well.

Chongzhen saw that Li Yan's swordsmanship was brilliant.

Take the strengths of the two families, one is the Shaolin sword, the other is the Wudang sword, which has both the essence of Shaolin kung fu and the elegance of Wudang swordsmanship.

When it is used to the wonderful place, the figure is flickering, and the sword light is dazzling.

The two fought for more than a dozen times, and Li Yan was taken aback, it was Chongzhen's blessing that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man had such martial arts.

Forget it, you can't dwell on this, what are you doing in the palace by yourself, you haven't talked about business yet.

Li Yan was sober-minded, and he attacked a few swords with a brush, and the prince was forced to retreat step by step, parrying and fighting, and had no power to fight back.

Zhu Cihong felt that his current ability was not ambiguous, but in front of Li Yan, why did he feel a little stretched?

At this moment, Li Yan suddenly put away his sword and clenched his fists, "The prince's martial arts are really outstanding, and I admire him."

Zhu Cihong's face flushed, obviously he was at a disadvantage, but the opponent was polite and humble, he felt a little uncomfortable, so many people watched, it was too embarrassing, and it was too disappointing for his father.

Looking at Li Yan again, he said politely, but there was a trace of disdain between his eyebrows.

"Li Gongzi is slow, he is more willing to bow down than the prince of Jianben, let's go a few times right away, and then learn the mastery of Gongzi."

When Zhu Cihong said this, he turned around and shouted, "Prepare the horse and get the halberd!"

Soon, a military general brought his white dragon horse and single-edged halberd.

Zhu Cihong had a halberd in his hand and flew on the horse.

Li Yan saw that this was not over, and someone also led his horse over, he still took a sword, and his legs fell lightly on the horse's back.

The officers and men of the Ming army, including these prisoners, retreated one after another, opening the scene for the two.

"Look at the halberd!" Zhu Cihong broke off and urged the horse to shake the halberd and take Li Yan directly.

Li Yan turned around and sat down on his horse, and after dodging the halberd, he swung his sword and slashed the prince's head.

The two horses circled and killed in one place.

Li Yan still uses his original swordsmanship, as well as the strengths of Shaolin Sword and Wudang Sword, but this time the prince obviously showed his ability.

He is good at wielding halberds, and his ability to do it immediately is better than his ability to step down.

This is exactly the opposite of Li Yan.

Li Yan was born in a family of eunuchs, and his father served as the governor of Shandong. Although his family later fell into the middle of the road, he was also one of the top squires in the local area.

Li Yan has been smart since he was a child, reading and writing, practicing literature and martial arts, and everything is outstanding, which is also an authentic child of someone else's family!

His father saw that his son was a piece of material, of course, he had to be trained well, and it was best to train him to be an all-rounder. In addition to learning literature, he also taught him martial arts with many martial arts teachers.

These martial arts teachers are relatively miscellaneous, including Shaolin, Wudang, and other sects.

No matter which school it is, Li Yan learns from them seriously, so his martial arts are more miscellaneous, but taking the strengths of each school, coupled with his own comprehension and innovation, he has become a family of his own after a long time.

And he has been dealing with people in the rivers and lakes for a long time, coupled with his generosity and boldness by nature, the chivalrous style has been formed, before joining Li Zicheng Group, Li Yan is the famous Li Gongzi.

In view of these experiences in the rivers and lakes, Li Yan's martial arts tend to be cultivated step by step, and it is not his strong point to cross the horse to conquer and kill.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong used his sixty-four road overlord halberd, the horse was fast and the halberd sank, and after more than 20 rounds, Li Yan couldn't parry.

Li Yan was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that this Daming prince's swordsmanship was average, and he really had two strokes across the horse, no wonder Liu Fangliang and Ma Shiyao would lose the battle, there are really masters in the Daming Palace!

Not to mention that others are just this Ming prince, maybe King Chuang will come in person or Liu Zongmin will be able to catch him, but he can't do it himself.
