Chapter 18: Fight It Off
Xie Tong and others entered the palace with Tian Gonggong, this is the first time they have entered the palace in their lifetimes, the scale of this palace makes the brothers breathtaking, this area is not known how many times larger than the palaces in Yangzhou and Chengdu, it is a courtyard and pavilion, the long passage corridor is almost endless, looking at the golden glazed tiles, Huo Zixin sighed, "The palace is the palace, it is really different from ordinary people's houses!"
Father-in-law Tian scolded, "Go your way, what nonsense, boy, don't say that your father-in-law didn't warn you, in this palace, it's best to talk less and do more, otherwise you won't know what's going on if you lose your head."
Huo Zixin didn't think so, he didn't say it, but he scolded Father-in-law Tian in his heart I don't know how many times.
The saint entertained the VIPs in the Imperial Garden, and before entering the Imperial Garden, Xie Tong and the others were searched all over before they were allowed in.
There is a large open space in front of the imperial garden, where Tang Xizong set up a banquet to entertain the envoys of Room Wei.
Before he got closer, Gonggong Tian said in a loud voice, "Enlighten the saint, bring it to the martial arts contest today."
Xie Tong and the others knelt more than ten feet away from their seats, shouting, "Long live my emperor, long live!"
Tang Xizong's voice came from afar, "Calm down!"
Xie Tong and the others stood up, he looked around, the imperial garden was very large, surrounded by trees, and all kinds of rockeries were placed, although it was a rockery, but it was also vivid, very realistic, there was an inland river in front of the clearing, the river surface was not wide, I thought it was for the purpose of appreciating the imperial garden, two rows of guards stood along the river with weapons in hand, and Tang Xizong also arranged a lot of Praetorian Guards, he clearly saw that Li Zeyuan was on duty behind the saint.
There were many people at the table, and there were Taiwei Sima Xuan, Song Wenyuan, and Sun Chengli, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Doctor Hong Ru, Sima Xiangru, and even Sima Jinyu and Hong Shan are among them, on the other hand, the envoys of Murwei, Shi Jingjiao is the chief, and the others are some important figures of the Murwei clan.
Xie Tong's gaze kept looking at Hong Shan. But Hong Shan didn't seem to be in a good mood, she never looked up, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
Shi Jingjiao looked at him unscrupulously, and the two looked at each other for a moment.
Huo Zixin said in a low voice, "This kid actually dares to come to Chang'an, aren't you afraid that the Holy Lord will know that he has taken refuge in Huangchao?"
Lao Lai said, "Since he is here, there must be his magic weapon, let's not make trouble!"
Huo Zixin said unhappily, "They drink wine and eat meat over there, we are standing here stupidly, it's so unfair!"
At this very moment. I only heard Shi Jingjiao say in a loud voice, "Thank you Your Majesty for the dinner, we can taste such a delicious meal, it is really worth the trip."
Tang Xizong said, "Where, where! The little khan ate happily, and I felt relieved." ”
Shi Jingjiao continued, "Your Majesty, I don't know which warriors were selected to fight today?"
Tang Xizong was slightly embarrassed, a few days ago, the Tang warriors lost six battles and six defeats, even the master Mu Zong of the Great Interior, Zhen Yuanzi of the Taiwei Mansion, and Song Wendong of Sichuan Shu. All of them were defeated, and today Lord Taiwei recommended Xie Tong and the others. I didn't know if I could save face, he smiled and said, "I have sent a good hand today, these people are all young talents who exterminated the Yellow Nest, Xuan Xie Tong and others entered!"
Shi Jingjiao let out an "oh" and said, "It turned out to be the heroes of the Southern Expedition, and I heard that several people were invincible on the battlefield. It's a real warrior, well, I'm feasting my eyes today. He said loudly, "Brother Murong Kui, this first game will be up to you!"
Xie Tong was about to be the first to appear, but Yi Wuxing suddenly stopped him. He said, "I'd better come! We are old enemies! We have had some grudges."
Xie Tong and the others are no longer reluctant, they know Yi Wu's character very well, he is not the kind of person who covets fame, but he is very serious about some things.
Yi Wudaunt and Murong Kui stepped into the arena at the same time.
The military attache said loudly, "Meet friends with force, point to the end, don't hurt people, both sides can use weapons."
Yi Wu's double knife had already been sent up, and he hugged his fist and said, "I am Yi Wudaugh", and then there was no follow-up.
Murong Kui sneered, "It turned out to be Yi Wudaunt, who was crisscrossing the grassland, and he actually went to the Southern Dynasty to be a guard, it's really ridiculous!" He deliberately said these words in Turkic language, so as to deliberately provoke Yi Wudaunt.
Yi Wuxing replied in Chinese with a straight voice, "Rather than acting as a lackey of Zhongli, I, Yi Wuxing, would rather come to the Southern Dynasty to ask for food than eat Zhongli's to live!"
"You", Murong Kui's seven orifices were smoking, and he said, "What a good pair of sharp teeth, since you left the grassland, I have created a set of knife techniques, called the Chopping Yi Knife Method, I don't know if Brother Yi has improved his knife skills in the past few years in the Central Plains."
The conversation between the two reached the ears of everyone, and as long as they were not fools, they could smell the strong smell of gunpowder, and the two seemed to be extremely familiar with each other, and it seemed that there was something out of the ordinary.
Yi Wuxing didn't make a sound, but slowly pulled out his double knives, holding one in each hand, and the blade pointed at Murong Kui.
As soon as the fearless knife came out of the sheath, he was immediately judged as if he were two people, usually he was gentle and smiling, and when the two knives were held in his hands, the ferocity inadvertently revealed made people feel that this was a real killer.
Murong Kui's eyes showed a fierce light, he saw that Yi Wudaunt had no intention of attacking first, he was secretly happy in his heart, he raised his scimitar and slashed at it diagonally, this knife was already full of true qi, and the strength was very strong, the purpose was to fight hard with Yi Wudaunt. A few years ago in Mobei, he was defeated by Yi Fearless double knife, after defeat, he was unwilling to admit defeat, he had specialized in Yi fearless knife technique, Yi Fearless double knife pay attention to fast, accurate, ruthless, poof, give people a full sense of oppression, is a knife as fast as a knife, double knives together, do not give the opponent breathing space at all. Murong Kui was defeated in the first battle, and he had no chance. After a period of research, he finally figured out the weakness of the fast knife, that is, it has more speed and less strength, and it is easy to be injured by masters with strong internal strength. Therefore, he used his true qi like a knife to create this slashing knife technique.
Yi Wudaunt saw that Murong Kui's knife was not fast or slow, he had already guessed his intentions, Yi Wudaugh's knife technique was known for its speed, but his internal strength was also strong, in order to completely defeat this great enemy, he deliberately did not take his knife hard, but turned his body sideways, making Murong Kui's scimitar slash into the air.
Murong Kui saw that Yi Wuxing didn't dare to take it hard, and he firmly believed in the power of this knife technique, he withdrew his scimitar, infused his true qi again, and used a move to split Huashan, from top to bottom, in a vain attempt to split Yi Wudaunt from the middle with a knife, this knife was full of true qi, carrying a wisp of wind, and went straight to Yi Wuxing.
Yi Wuxing felt the powerful true qi contained in this scimitar, which was more domineering than the knife just now, and said in his heart, Murong Kui has indeed grown a little in the desert in the past few years, at least this internal force is much stronger.
However, in Yi Wuxing's opinion, this knife was too slow, and without waiting for the scimitar to get close, Yi Wuxing squatted violently, and then rushed out, with two knives coming out, one knife facing Murong Kui's scimitar, making the knife directly cut towards Murong Kui's lower abdomen, and the speed was extremely fast. If Murong Kui doesn't move, the two are very likely to be injured at the same time.
Everyone who watched the contest was silent, in the past two days, both sides sent their own samurai to compete, and the imperial side lost face, but there were rarely such bloody scenes, the two sides were real swords and guns, not like they were competing, but like fighting for their lives!
Murong Kui hesitated, after a few years of cultivation, his sword skills and true qi grew rapidly, he thought that he could easily defeat Yi Wuxing, but this move to fight for his life made him not know what to do, if he didn't withdraw his true qi, it was likely that Yi Wuxing would be split in half with a single knife, but Yi Wuxing's long knife might also cut his lower abdomen, he thought about it, and finally swung the knife to save himself, so as to avoid the situation of losing both with Yi Wuxing.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Yi Wuxing's mouth, in his opinion, the real sword technique originated from the battlefield, between killing and being killed, rather than a trick of fist embroidery performance, although Murong Kui has made great progress, but in the understanding of the knife way, he is always inferior to him, so he showed this smile.
Yi Wudaunt didn't wait for the old man, hurriedly withdrew the double knife, there should be a right-handed knife to slash directly, directly find the route of Murong Kui's swing of the knife, without giving him any time to react, and slashed it fiercely.
Murong Kui was overjoyed when he saw Yi Fearless fighting, he was worried that Yi Fearless's change of tactics was too fast, and he couldn't capture his path, seeing him raise his knife and fight hard, how could he be displeased, he also poured the true qi of his whole body, trying to hurt Yi Fearless with one move, and no matter how bad it was, he would be forced to retreat.
Just listened to the sound, two treasure knives made of stainless steel collided in one place, making a crisp sound, and then the true qi infused by the two of them hit one place, Murong Kui intuitively came from the knife with a strong force, such a strong internal force, he couldn't believe that Yi Wuxing's true qi was so pure, it was much higher than him, he was directly stunned on the spot, the scimitar couldn't stand the fluctuation of the true qi, and directly took off his hand and flew towards his neck, everyone exclaimed, shouldn't this scimitar cut off his head.
Yi Wudao's reaction was extremely fast, his long knife was lightning forward, accurately picking the scimitar, and the scimitar directly passed over the top of Murong Kui's head, and after a few times, it fell to the ground.
The audience erupted in strong cheers, this is the first victory of the Tang Dynasty Wang Chao since the competition between the two countries, and it was so easy to win, Tang Xizong also clapped his palms happily, and said, "The good warrior recommended by the Taiwei is not bad, it is worthy of praise!"
It took Murong Kui a while to react, he looked at the scimitar behind him, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he was defeated again, and faster than before.
Yi Wudang had no time to take care of the situation outside the court, he put away his double knives and said coldly, "Accept." After that, he ignored Murong Kui, who was stunned, and left directly.
Murong Kui picked up the treasure knife in frustration, and retreated without a look.
Shi Jingjiao laughed and said, "Your Majesty, this person is from the desert, and he is not a warrior of the empire!"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Xizong's face became unnatural, but the other party's words were true, Yi Wuxing was indeed from Mobei.
I only heard a voice stand out from the crowd and said, "Your Majesty, the last general Xie Tong is willing to face the heroes of the Wei clan!" (To be continued.) )
