Volume 1 Chang'an Chapter 83 The Banquet (3)
Unlike the people of the Central Plains, Li Keyong doesn't know what it means to swallow his anger, in his past years, he has never needed to swallow his anger, when he followed Li Guochang to guard Yin Mountain in his early years, and when he participated in the pacification of Pang Xun's rebellion, the men in the army have always been direct, if they don't accept it, they will fight, whoever wins is the master, not to mention that he is still a Shatuo person, and he has fierce and aggressive blood in his bones.
Fortunately, Li Keyong is not an ordinary person, the purpose of his trip to Chang'an is very clear, and he knows that the overall situation is important, so he did not go away angrily in court, Rao is Wu Hongshan's attitude is so weak that it is ambiguous, and Li Keyong does not shout much, and although he has a straight temperament, he also has the nature of not admitting defeat in his bones, so although he has lost face at the moment, even if it is to fight for breath, he does not plan to retreat, but thinks about how to overwhelm Li Ye and get back to the field.
"His Royal Highness King Su Wen'an is a handsome member of the clan, and his cultivation talent is outstanding, can you ask for advice or two?"
After calming down, Li Ke restrained his anger and challenged Li Ye.
This request can be described as rude, and everyone present can see that Li Keyong has suffered a loss in front of Li Ye and lost face, so this request seems to be revengeful, if under ordinary circumstances, Li Keyong made such a request, then it has lost etiquette, even if Li Ye ignores him, it is nothing.
But the current situation is different, because the officials in the hall are all from Wei Baoheng and Wu Hongshan, and they don't want to see Li Keyong being overwhelmed by Li Ye, which will affect the marriage between Li Keyong and Wu You, so they didn't question it out loud, and they also talked about it, and kept fanning the flames.
"I have long heard that General Li is the most courageous general of the Zhenwu Army, he is already a fifth-level Qi practitioner at a young age, and he is a Junyan who is expected to step into the real realm, such a character, let alone in the north, that is, looking at the whole world, he is a real genius!"
Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War took the lead in speaking up, "And General Li is the border of the country, and he also participated in the pacification of the Pang Xun Rebellion, he is a battle-hardened person, His Royal Highness King An was only crowned this year, General Li challenged His Highness, I'm afraid that there is a suspicion of bullying, right?"
What he said seemed to be saying that it was inappropriate for Li Ke to use this move, but in fact, he was raising Li Keyong everywhere, but he was waving the flag for Li Keyong, and there was a meaning of implicitly belittling Li Ye: Li Keyong is very strong, you are too weak.
As soon as he said this, someone immediately understood his intentions, and immediately answered: "What does Shilang mean by this, could it be that he underestimates His Royal Highness King An? Shilang doesn't know that His Royal Highness King An has achieved the first place in the assessment of Niushou Mountain? Moreover, His Royal Highness is still the successor of Yuan Tianshi, and now the people in Chang'an City say that His Royal Highness King An is the first day of Chang'an!"
Li Kerang pursed his lips: "Is King An so powerful?" I just don't know, this first day of Chang'an City, compared to the first day of Zhenwu Army, who is stronger." ”
"The Zhenwu Army is an elite border army, and General Li is also a fierce general on the battlefield, how can His Highness compare with General Li?"
"That's not right, Chang'an is a Beijing teacher, Chang'an is the first day of the world, how can he lose to others?"
Everyone was gossiping, looking like they were divided into two groups to argue, but in fact, they were fanning the flames, so that Li Ye had no room to retreat.
Li Ye took everyone's expressions in his eyes, laughed in his heart, and of course he watched the fire from the other side of the river to everyone's thoughts, and he didn't care, but turned around and asked Wu Hongshan: "What do you think of the horse?"
Wu Hongshan coughed twice and said, "Well...... It is also common for young people to learn from each other, and we all know that His Highness is both wise and brave, but I have never seen His Highness make a move, and I want to see His Highness's demeanor. ”
The identity of Prince Li Ye has always made Wu Hongshan very passive, but speaking of Wu Hongshan is still Li Ye's elder, so when he says "young people learn from each other", it is very logical, and there is a faint sense of pleasure in regaining the initiative.
"Father, how long has it been since Brother Ye has been practicing qi, how can he ......" Wu You was immediately unhappy, and wanted to speak out to dissuade him.
"Shut up! Don't retreat yet?!" Wu Hongshan was really angry this time, and he scolded him violently.
Just because Wu You was too partial to Li Ye, Li Keyong was in a delicate situation, Li Keyong looked at him with a look in his eyes, but he was already full of anger, if this family business was really yellow, Wu Hongshan would not have the strong reinforcement of Zhenwu Army, and he would not be able to make a difference with Wei Baoheng.
Wu You was so angry that he stomped his feet, faintly angry and violent.
Li Ye motioned to Wu You not to be impatient, looked at Li Keyong, and said lightly: "Since General Li sent out the invitation, Gu has no intention of saving your face, even so, Gu is willing to learn a thing or two from you, but ...... What is a color head?"
"Your Highness has the final say. ”
Li Keyong saw that Li Ye actually agreed, and he was secretly happy.
He knows his strength in his own heart, within the age of thirty, looking at the whole world, there are few masters of the fifth level of Qi training, otherwise he would not be called the first genius of the dynasty, and he has been on the battlefield for a long time, has rich experience in the enemy, and his combat power is far above the strength on paper, so he is not worried that he will not be able to defeat Li Ye at all.
In his opinion, as long as Li Ye agrees to learn, he has already lost.
Li Ye smiled unabatedly: "I heard that General Li came to Chang'an this time, and he has the intention of asking the lord of Lijun to marry him?"
As soon as he said this, everyone gasped, obviously expecting what Li Ye was going to ask.
Li Ke looked at Li Ye with a positive color: "What does Your Highness mean by this?"
Li Ye smiled: "Unfortunately, Lone has admired Lord Li for a long time. ”
Speaking of this, he arched his hand towards Wu Hongshan: "Don Ma Mo should feel lonely and rude, it is really the lord of Lijun who is the daughter of the sky, and non-heroes can't match it, if General Li loses today, I don't think it's okay not to mention this matter." ”
When Wu You heard Li Ye's words, her delicate body shook, and she was almost unsteady on her feet, she was almost carried away by happiness, she and Li Ye were childhood sweethearts, but this was the first time Li Ye said this, and he said it so directly.
Wu Hongshan's face changed: "Your Highness, this ......"
Li Ye didn't wait for Wu Hongshan to agree, and looked straight at Li Keyong: "What does General Li think?"
Li Ke's eyes sank slightly, he came to Chang'an for this matter, and the marriage is related to the future of Zhenwu Army, which is very important, Li Ye takes this matter as a bet, and he also has to weigh one or two.
Li Ye saw Li Keyong's hesitation, so he smiled and said: "It is said that General Li is expected to build a foundation, but he is a heroic man who is not born, and he is invincible in the battlefield battles, why, is it necessary to be timid before the battle now?"
"Okay, so-and-so agreed!" Li Keyong didn't think much about it, and responded in one gulp.
It's not that he was provoked by Li Ye, but he didn't think that Li Ye could win him at all.
A pampered prince, why win him?
If Li Keyong didn't even have this confidence, he wouldn't be a peerless general. Cowardice before fighting on the battlefield, that's not his style.
"Yes, General, please. ”
After a while, everyone came to the courtyard from the hall and gathered in the corridors around them, while Li Ye and Li Keyong were already standing in the courtyard.
Li Kerang smiled at this time: "I thought that today's humiliation on the long street would be in vain, but I didn't expect that this King An was asking for hardships and daring to do it with my eldest brother!
The left attendant of the military department stood beside Li Kerang, and said with a smile when he heard this: "What is General Li's strength, we know very well, this battle is to be won, for him, it can be said that it is effortless." A few years ago, when the Pang Xun Rebellion was quelled, a certain army went to war, and at that time, General Li rushed into the chaos of the army, like entering the heroic posture of no one, but a certain has always remembered it clearly. ”
"Although King An has obtained the inheritance of Yuan Tianshi, it has only been a long time since he stepped into the door of cultivation, and he has no chance of winning this battle, I really don't know why he has to accept General Li's challenge. ”
"It's not for the sake of face, you and I know a thing or two about the relationship between King An and Lord Li, in the face of General Li's challenge, King An naturally can't admit it, but he doesn't know that he died to save face before, and it will only be more embarrassing later. ”
"In the end, he is young and vigorous, and he is unstable!"
The sound of discussion came into his ears, which made Li Keyong very useful, but he did not show arrogance, but just calmly said to Li Ye: "Your Highness, please." ”
The more indifferent he is, the more sure he is.
Li Ye glanced at Wu You and Shangguan Chengcheng on the sidelines, showed a smile that reassured the two of them, and then said to Li Keyong: "Li Ya is a guest from afar, so there is no need to be humble." ”
"Okay!" Li Ke didn't use ink, he immediately exhaled, and his figure quickly disappeared in place, and in an instant, he arrived in front of Li Ye and punched Li Ye straight to the door.
His punch seems to be unremarkable, just a way to open and close in the army, but in fact, it is cultivated to his part, and any shot contains a variety of changes, just the fist style driven by the fist makes the surrounding air distort, and it is obvious that the momentum is heavy.
Li Keyong is a person in the army, and he doesn't like to drag mud and water, so he used seven or eight points of cultivation to ensure that Li Ye could not dodge, and could only fight hard with him, and at the same time, he was ready to directly overwhelm the opponent with the power of cultivation, obviously to give Li Ye a dismount, so that Li Ye knew how powerful he was.
Li Ye's body did not move at all, and he had no intention of trying to dodge at all, so he directly met him with a punch.
Seeing that Li Ye was so supportive, Li Ke was happy in his heart, and secretly thought that he was really reckless, and you were going to suffer this time.
The two fists slammed together, without any fancy, and the aura collided between the fists, blocking a circle of water-like waves, blowing the long hair of the two of them backwards.
Li Ye's face did not change, but Li Keyong's face was tight, and the huge force that came out of his fist made his fist numb for a while, and his arm couldn't help trembling, and he was almost about to be shocked back, it was obvious that Li Ye's cultivation power was even stronger than him!
Li Ye didn't move at all, but Li Keyong took a step back, his heart was shocked, and he secretly said How is this possible?
When the people on the side of the courtyard saw this scene, they couldn't help but exclaim, everyone is a monk, and they can naturally see that Li Ye has the absolute upper hand in this hard fight.
Hearing the exclamation, Li Keyong's face sank, he wanted to give Li Ye a dismount, but he was shocked back by the other party, and he ate a horse wei, the taste can be imagined.
"General Li Ya, can you not do your best against the enemy in battle?" Li Ye asked lightly, he said this easily, but when he heard it in Li Keyong's ears, it was full of ridicule, which was particularly harsh.
"Come again!" Li Keyong restrained his thoughts of underestimating Li Ye, and no longer dared to have any reservations, mobilized all his cultivation strength, deceived himself for the second time, and punched Li Ye one after another.
