Early in the morning, Lang Jiangfu

When the prince entered the mansion, he saw Li Qiang, who was practicing the sword, and applauded: "Brother Li Qiang, your sword flying skills are getting better and better. ”

Since the Dragon Sword was refined, Li Qiang immediately asked the national teacher Yuan Tiangang for the art of sword flying, and when it came to the Qi Imperial Sword and the sword body could leave the ground, Li Qiang began to practice by himself in Lang Jiangfu.

The quality of the Dragon Sword that was refined by Blacksmith Feng before was much better than expected, not only was it light and sharp, but there was no obstacle for True Qi to enter the sword, and even the national teacher Yuan Tiangang praised it.

The prince has also come often in the past few days, and he has watched Li Qiang progress little by little, starting from the flying sword barely leaving the ground, to now being able to fly slowly three feet above the ground.

In fact, this result is not good, the sword part, Li Qiang's master has not taught, so the progress is not much faster than those who are new to the Dao.

But every time the prince saw Li Qiang's progress, he would still encourage and praise him.

Li Qiang said with a gloomy expression: "Hey, it's still not good, now it's all the strength of the sword, and the speed is not much faster than a snail." ”

Li Qiang has always been honest, what he said is not much faster than a snail, but it is not a metaphor, just a description of the facts.

If you really put a snail on the ground at this time to compete with Li Qiang, but if you put a snail that runs faster, under Li Qiang's sword, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose. If you don't look closely, there will definitely be many people who think that Li Qiang is performing in the air.

This is also Li Qiang's profound deeds, if you want to change to someone else, it is much more difficult to stay in the air than to fly.

"Haha, take your time, don't rush. Based on the strong cultivation of the Li Qiang brothers, we will definitely make rapid progress in the future!"

While relieved, the prince took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Qiang: "I have something to do with you today, this is a list submitted by the Ministry of Rites. ”

"Holding a competition?" Li Qiang took the paper and looked at it, there was a list of about fifty or sixty people: "There is still my name on this book?"

The crown prince nodded and explained: "This time, the five clans of Shandong joined forces to enter Beijing to demonstrate to my Li Tang royal family. This adventurer in Beijing is the most powerful of Brother Li Qiang, and Brother Li Qiang is from the Li family in Longxi, so I helped Brother Li Qiang also register. ”

Demonstration to the Imperial Family?

Seeing that Li Qiang was puzzled, the prince explained.

Now in the Tang Dynasty, the family of gate lords has high prestige and status.

There were seven of the most noble first-class wealthy families in the world.

That is, Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li, Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, and Taiyuan Wang. Among them, the Li family and the Cui family each have two county wangs, so they are called five surnames and seven wangs.

But in fact, the Li family in Longxi is the county of the Li Tang royal family, and the Li family of Zhao County is a branch of the Li Tang royal family.

The remaining five families are the real families, and any one of them has a strong strength against the royal family.

Last year, Tang Emperor Li Shimin ordered the compilation of the "Clan Chronicles" to be completed, and the prime minister Gao Shilian actually made Cui Min of the Shandong Shi clan the first class, and the Li clan in Longxi, where the emperor was located, was still in the Shandong clan, and the Tang Emperor Li Shimin angrily asked the prime minister to re-publish it.

The Shandong clan was rebellious, and after hearing about it, there were quite a few complaints.

This time, the Boling Cui clan, the Qinghe Cui clan, the Fanyang Lu clan, the Xingyang Zheng clan, and the Taiyuan Wang clan joined forces to enter Beijing, although in the name of the adventurer competition, in fact, there was a purpose to demonstrate to the Li Tang royal family.

The royal family didn't want to lose face in this matter.

Datang is left in the east and right in the west. Li Qiang was born in Liangshan, Longyouping, and his surname is Li, and his strength is second to none among the adventurers in Beijing, so he is naturally the most suitable candidate.

After listening to the prince, Li Qiang knew that in this prosperous Tang Dynasty, there are so many particulars about origin and surname.

Looking back now, it seems like that was really the case. After the last Liangyi Palace, after he was named Lang Jiang, there were many officials in Beijing who came to pay a visit, but basically they were all surnamed Li, or from the imperial examination, and none of them came from the Cui, Lu, Zheng, and Wang families.

"When will the competition be held, what is the origin of the other side, is it a clan disciple or a person from the rivers and lakes, a martial artist or a cultivator?" Li Qiang threw out a lot of questions in a row, wanting to know more about the situation of his opponent.

He rarely fights people, and this time he was going to be in the ring, so he was naturally a little nervous. Since these families are huge, and they provoked this competition, they should have come prepared. Especially the prince's sentence: Let the adventurers of the world compete.

The word "world" is so big, even the master has said that there are many people in the world who are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

"Brother Li Qiang, don't worry, I'll answer one by one. Seeing this, the prince replied with a smile: "The competition is set for three days later, and on the opposite side are the people from the rivers and lakes who are looking for several major families, and I heard that they are all the adventurer disciples of the Dragon Tiger Mountain and Maoshan factions who have recently entered the mountain gate, and they are naturally all practicing Taoism. However, the longest time to learn the Tao is only two months, so naturally it will not be the opponent of the Li Qiang brothers. ”

The Longhushan and Maoshan factions both boast of being upright, and their names are scary, and their strength must be good.

However, the participants in the competition this time are all adventurers, and "Dream" has only been available for two months, and the longest time to learn the Tao is no more than two months. If this is the case, no matter how talented you are, you shouldn't be much stronger.

When Li Qiang heard the prince say this, he was relieved.

Seeing Li Qiang's expression relaxed, the prince gave him another dose of reassurance: "Don't worry, in this competition, the Tang Dynasty Mansion under the command of Lao Guo Gongcheng Biting Jin also picked two or three people among the adventurer disciples who earned, and fought side by side with Li Qiang's brothers." ”

"In that case, it couldn't be better. When Li Qiang heard that there were still people going with him, he suddenly had a feeling of "I'm not alone", and he felt a little more sure in his heart.

Lu Guogongcheng's martial arts of biting gold, Li Qiang couldn't be clearer. Although the thirty-six axes of Tiangang and the pharaoh general will only make the first three moves, these three moves are enough to sweep away thousands of armies. After mastering it, not to mention ordinary martial artists, even if they really come to Longhu Mountain's personal disciples, they may not be able to parry.

"Then you practice Edgeworth, and I'll take you to the arena in three days. Remember to save some physical strength, don't practice too much, and then you will run out of strength in the ring. In this game, although it was not in front of the two armies, the sword and sword shadow, but it could not be lost and lost royal face. The prince was afraid that Li Qiang did not realize the importance of this competition, and uncharacteristically repeated admonitions.

Seeing that the prince was serious, Li Qiang agreed: "Don't worry, prince, I will go all out." ”

The crown prince nodded, he was still very confident in Li Qiang's cultivation.

Although the minister of Jingzhong heard the national teacher say in the Liangyi Palace, Li Qiang's cultivation was only one step away from becoming an immortal. But the prince is a comrade-in-arms who has fought side by side with Li Qiang, and he has seen Li Qiang's performance before the battle.

The words have been brought, and the prince is about to be busy with his own business, and as soon as he walked to the door of Lang Jiang's mansion, he suddenly remembered something. I saw the prince clapping his hands violently, turned back to Li Qiang and shouted: "I almost forgot to tell you, you hurry up and get ready, my imperial sister is also on her way here, and she should be there soon." ”

The crown prince Li Chengqian's royal sister is naturally the princess Li Mingda of Jinyang.
