Chapter 31: A Trip to the Snow Mountains (3)
Li Yan wanted to break into the prince's mansion, but along the way, he found that something was wrong.
Many samurai passed by him, and they were also heading for the Prince's Palace. Li Yan couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that my whereabouts were leaked by that guy, and these people couldn't arrest me in advance?
But when I think about it, I can't help but laugh dumbly. If they want to arrest people, they will do it on the street, so why do they have to do it in the palace?
However, the closer you are to the palace, the more you will practice. Li Zhan felt more and more strange, so he stopped a warrior and asked, "This eldest brother, dare to ask what day it is, why are so many people going to Prince Zag's mansion?"
When the man saw that he was armed with a single sword, he said, "Hurry up, you won't be ranked if it's too late!"
Li Yan asked, "What kind of martial arts are you competing?"
The man snorted: "Of course, the competition for the selection of the first warrior of the White Tiger Fan!" The winner will be crowned with the position of the commander of the five grades, and at the same time, he can also make a wish to the prince, as long as he doesn't go too far, he will not allow anything. ”
He looked at Li Yan and snorted again: "But you Han people are out of play!"
Li Yan asked, "Why do you say that? Isn't it true that Han people are not allowed to participate in the competition?"
The man shook his head: "It's not, it's just that you Han people are my opponents of the White Tiger Fanjian?"
Li Yan was secretly happy in his heart, and thought: If I can win the game openly, I don't have to go through the trouble of stealing things. I just need a thousand-year-old snow lotus, and I won't do it, just give it back to the prince.
Thinking of this, his feet quickened, and in a moment he came to the gate of the palace. I only heard the noise of people, and it was really a market. Opposite the gate of the palace, a huge ring was built, and there were many guards next to it, and the guards were heavily guarded. There were hundreds of samurai, in a long line, signing up in front of a tent.
Li Yan finally recorded his name, received the number shirt, and waited on the side. The rules of the tournament are fairly simple: the contestants bring their own blades and fight in the ring. The winner advances to the next round, and the loser leaves, with no complaints.
In addition to not using hidden weapons or feeding poison on the blade, you can use any martial arts of any family and faction, and you can use whatever is convenient.
Although there is a clause in the rules that "after one party admits defeat, the other side must not chase and fight", but the sword and gun have no eyes, and in just half an hour, two people were seriously injured, and one of them died.
Li Yan thought to himself, my knife is too powerful, if the edge is exposed, it will definitely hurt people. Why don't I fight people with just the scabbard, so that I can be safe.
At this time, I only heard the deacon singing loudly: "Red No. 117 Li Remnant, make a single knife, enter from the east, and Black No. 9, Kariz, make a copper hammer, enter from the west!"
Everyone at the bottom immediately talked about it, and the Han people came to fight, and this was the first one. They couldn't help but wonder who dared to challenge the White Tiger Athlete.
As soon as Li Remnant Fang appeared on the stage, everyone couldn't stop laughing.
Someone said, "What kind of great hero I should be, but I turned out to be a disabled person! I'm afraid this person didn't come to die, right?"
Another said: "Karize is a famous warrior of the Vulture Tribe, and this hammer will definitely be able to smash the Han lamb flat!"
Li Zhan looked at the opposite side, and saw a black and strong warrior with his temples bulging high, and he really didn't look like an idle person.
Hearing only a gong, Karize danced the copper hammer like a windmill, and rushed up as if flying. Li Yan took a deep breath, tried his best to control his strength, and shook the single knife. only heard a soft snap, and Karize flew out of the ring with a hammer and fell unconscious.
Before everyone could see what was going on, the game was over. They looked at each other and asked, "What's the end of the fight?"
Not only were the audience dumbfounded, but even the layoffs who decided to win or lose didn't see it clearly. But that's what the competition is all about, the one who stands wins, and the one who lies down loses. So he judged loudly: "Red Fang One Hundred and Seventeen, Li Remnant Victory with a Single Sword!"
Everyone in the audience was in an uproar, but Li Yan was secretly frightened on the stage. Although he only uses the scabbard, the power is still too great, and if he encounters someone with weak bones, he is really afraid of beating people out.
So after thinking about it, he suddenly had an idea to come up with a good solution. The scabbard is heavy, but the handle is light, and it is much safer to hit with the hilt, and it will definitely not happen to anything serious if it is pushed up.
The second game soon began, and I saw a double fight on the opposite side. He thought that Li Yan knew how to demons, so he drenched his head with black dog blood in advance and burned several spells.
Li Yan patiently watched him finish the performance, so he followed the plan and lightly bumped it with the handle of the knife. The man flew off the stage with a whoosh, only to cry out "oops".
This one was naturally won by Li Yan again.
Slowly, there were already seven or eight people fighting against Li Yan, but seeing him fly out with a shake of the hilt, it was like a trick. It should never take more than three numbers.
It wasn't until the ninth game that the opponent took the stage and saluted him, snapped his tassel and left.
It's a towel. Li Yan triumphantly reached the finals all the way.
At this time, the audience applauded and applauded him. Called: "Central Plains boy!
Li Yan shyly waved to everyone, thinking that he would be able to ask for medicine after the last one. At this time, I suddenly saw a woman jumping up from the stage, shaking the knife in her hand and saying: "Central Plains boy, you make a knife, I also use a knife, how about we come to compare who is more powerful?"
Li Yanqi said: "This young lady, are you also here to fight for the title of the first warrior of the White Tiger Fan?"
The girl said, "I don't fight for anything, I just come to play." ”
Without waiting for Li Yan to agree, he slashed with a knife. Li Yan stepped back on tiptoe, moved his body out of Zhangxu, and landed steadily like a big bird.
Everyone only said what kind of spell he could do. But the hand he showed was genuine kung fu. The crowd couldn't help but cheer.
The girl pointed with a knife: "What, you look down on me?"
Li Yan observed the girl carefully. I saw that she was eighteen or nineteen years old, and her skin was slightly dark. High nose and deep eyes, pretty face. A pair of bright eyes with three points of innocence and seven points of arrogance and unreasonableness. She is adorned with silver all over her body, and she is obviously not the daughter of an ordinary family.
Someone shouted, "Look, it's Princess Silver Bell!"
Everyone seemed to have put a drop of water in a hot oil pot and exploded with an uproar.
It turned out that Princess Yinling was the daughter of Prince Zag and was very famous among the White Tigers. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and at the age of fifteen, she stabbed several bandits in the battle to quell the rebellion in Azure Lake.
In addition, she is a first-class beauty from the perspective of Fanbang people, so she is regarded as a pearl in the palm of her hand by the prince.
Over the years, the people who have proposed marriage have broken the threshold of the palace, but none of them can enter her eyes.
Prince Zag once recruited young talents from the prince's and minister's family to go on a blind date, but they were all pushed out after she ridiculed him. She once said to her father: Daddy, I am a female eagle flying in the sky, and I should be accompanied by a real male eagle. How can you introduce the crow and sparrow to me every once in a while?
When the prince heard this, he laughed, and the blind date was done.
