Chapter 142: The King's Style, Kill Chen Yuyun
Feng Qiwu is a rare natural treasure in the world, comparable to Qilin Blood, Dragon Blood Grass and the like. Even in the ghost market, it is difficult to find such a thing. However, in Li Zhaowen's hands, it seems to be worthless and he threw it to Li Guanyi casually.

Li Guanyi took the Feng Qiwu, which could cure the poison that his aunt had contracted.

This thing is extremely precious, and the meaning it represents is particularly important to Li Guanyi. He can't say a nice response like he usually does. He just strokes this simple and elegant spiritual object with his palm and then says, "Thank you."

Li Zhaowen closed his folding fan and said jokingly:
"Brother, why are you so obsessed with these things?"

"You can return me a pot of wine someday."

Li Guanyi said: "Even if I could give you all the finest wine in the world, it would still be hard to repay you for your kindness."

"Hey, hey, hey, shut up, shut up."

Li Zhaowen folded her folding fan and touched Li Guanyi's lips with it. She seemed slightly angry, her eyebrows raised, and said:
"Saying yes is too much."

"If you say something like a favor, I will turn around and leave, and pretend that I don't have a brother like you!"

"How dare you say that!"

Seeing Li Guan nod, Li Zhaowen smiled and put away his folding fan:

"But, if you want to repay me, I won't refuse, right?"

"I was originally going to say that if you and I ever meet in battle, you should retreat thirty miles."

"But I thought about it. You and I can't be enemies."

"Such a reward is too petty."

"Then let's change it to this."

Li Zhaowen thought for a moment and smiled, "I have always been bold and I like heroes the most."

"Li Guanyi, if you want to repay me, then become the best hero in the world. If that happens, even if you and I never meet again, I will feel extremely happy."

"While you were conquering the world, I was just a small friend of yours."

"There are many heroes in the world, but who can have eyes like mine?"

“I can’t help but feel happy when I think about this kind of thing.”

Li Zhaowen smiled.

Li Guan nodded and carefully put away the Feng Qiwu. He was only thinking about where old man Siming had gone. He wanted to find the old man immediately, put down everything here, and ride back to Guanyi City to heal his aunt's injuries.

However, he restrained the impulse and invited Li Zhaowen to sit down. Then he went to get some wine and made some simple and quick side dishes. He and Li Zhaowen drank together in the courtyard. Li Zhaowen drank and said with a smile, "It tastes good."

Compared with the wine I drank in Changfeng Tower before, it tastes better.

After three rounds of drinks, Li Zhaowen fell into her old habit again. She unconsciously started talking about the world's situation from the perspective of love and romance, and she couldn't stop talking from the beginning. She was very excited and said:

"The grand festival of Chen State is only a few days away from today. The competition will start tomorrow. There are too many participants, so we need to select 16 people to fight in pairs. In fact, with Yu Wenhua, Ge Shuyin, and Xu Huiyang, most of the warriors know that they have no way of winning the final title."

"There is already a rumor going around that this title is meant for the three of them."

"Some people also say that Xu Huiyang is the grandson of the Sword Saint and a famous young swordsman in the martial arts world. However, he came to the palace and became a good friend of the Crown Prince. I think he has something he desires, and this title was prepared for him. It is said that there is something fishy going on."

"But there are still a lot of warriors participating in this competition."

"Brother, do you know why?"

Li Guanyi thought for a moment and replied, "Nations."

Li Zhaowen clapped his hands and smiled, "Yes, the princes of various countries are here, this is an opportunity."

"Even if you can't make it to the end of this fight, you can still show off your martial arts skills to the fullest. This is like handing over visiting cards to the kings, princes and generals."

"This world is so big, it's hard to have such an opportunity in decades."

"Even if these young warriors themselves are unwilling to go up, their fathers will point out this opportunity. What do you think, Brother Li?" Li Zhaowen meant that he hoped Li Guanyi could also show his talent in front of the kings and princes of the world and step onto the world's stage from then on.

She said, "Good winds rely on external forces. At the beginning, it is not a problem to rely on external forces."

Li Guanyi thought of the library cabinet that extremely attracted Black Turtle.

And the eldest princess Chen Qingyan.

He understood Li Zhaowen's secret hint and simply said, "Just do your best."

Li Zhaowen smiled slightly and said, "Then I will wait and see."

"I only hope that your talent and martial arts can be displayed to the world, so that people in the world can know that my eyes will never make mistakes. When you win a great victory, I will host a banquet to entertain you, and I will have gifts for you at that time."

Li Guanyi: "What is it?"

Li Zhaowen opened his folding fan, covering his lips, revealing only a pair of phoenix eyes, and smiled:
"You'll know then."

"With your personality, haha, you should like it."

She habitually uses a folded fan to tap her forehead.

He knocked once, then remembered that he had just touched the boy's lips.

Li Zhaowen paused.

Then he put down his folding fan without changing his expression. He clenched his right hand into a fist and clasped his knees.

Touched his eyebrows.

Soon after, she no longer mentioned the matter and just chatted about many things in the world. An hour later, she said goodbye. Li Guanyi sent Li Zhaowen away and returned to the house. Looking at Feng Qiwu, even though Li Guanyi's temperament had been tempered over the past ten years, he still felt dazed.

He laughed silently and brushed his hand over the object.

Li Guanyi felt completely relieved. He closed his eyes and whispered:

"Very good……"

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief now that my aunt is safe.

On the second day, as expected, there were many warriors participating in the preliminary test. Li Guanyi saw young faces wearing different armors coming here. In the distance of the huge martial arts stage, there was the emperor's carriage. Li Guanyi looked at it from afar with a solemn expression.

Even during the initial examination, when the emperor only came to watch for a while, he still decorated the palace with great luxury. His imperial robes were painted with the sun, moon, stars, and planets, and his leather caps were made of lacquered gauze. He also made yellow banners with 36,000 men, as well as chariots, carriages, and the empress's procession, and the ceremonial robes of all officials, all of which were magnificent.

Luxurious and gorgeous, like a god in heaven.

Li Guanyi heard a huge voice of approval.
There were even common people who proudly told the people of the Western Regions that the emperor of the Central Plains was so majestic and majestic that it was impossible for barbarians like you to imagine it. Li Guanyi looked over and saw that the clothes of the common people were not luxurious, and you could even see the stitches of the patches.

But he was still proud of Emperor Chen's majestic carriage.

Li Guanyi was wearing armor and carrying a weapon. He appeared holding a halberd.

Li Guanyi actually had a feeling that during the initial test, although there were many dignitaries, most of them, and even their wives, were not paying attention to the warriors competing in the competition, even though these warriors regarded this competition as their own opportunity.

In fact, the nobles only regarded the competition as a casual program like sword dancing, and the important thing was the communication with other nobles. However, Li Guanyi also saw that the counselors and officials of various military groups were staring at the competition arena seriously.

A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

The martial arts skills of young military officers are also an important criterion.

The warriors in this world wear heavy armor, which can really affect the situation in small-scale battles and greatly affect morale. Li Guanyi saw the fights in other places. Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying both nodded at him, and their expressions were relaxed.

The nobles above said theirs.

The warriors below fought their own.

Li Guanyi took a look at the battle situation and found that just as what people said, the strongest ones were indeed Yu Wenhua, Geshu Yin and Xu Huiyang. The three of them ended the battle in just a few moves. Xu Huiyang didn't even draw his sword and defeated those warriors with a gentle smile.

The same is true for Chen Yuyun.

Li Guanyi saw that Chen Yuyun’s fighting was equally quick and efficient.

Often a fight can be won with just one punch or one kick.

Moreover, he decided which weapon to use based on the weapon used by his opponent. If his opponent used a sword, he would use a sword; if his opponent used a gun, he would use a gun. He used the weapon that his opponent was best at to defeat his opponent head-on and domineeringly.

Those who were defeated were all pale and dispirited.

Soon it was Li Guanyi's turn. The young man thought about it and recalled what Li Zhaowen said yesterday. Yu Wenhua, Geshu Yin, Xu Huiyang, and Chen Yuyun were all like Li Zhaowen, demonstrating their talents and martial arts in this world.

Think again about Chen Yuyun's dominance, who can defeat you head-on in the area where you are best.

The Emperor Chen came in his magnificent carriage to personally watch the first test.

Li Guanyi understood that this was Emperor Chen building momentum for his son.

Li Guanyi picked up the unsharpened sword, and then put on the armor for the competition. Ye Buyi and others bumped fists with him to encourage him, while the others, Yu Wenhua, Xu Huiyang, and Geshu Yin also looked here.

Suddenly, there was a shout.

"Li Guanyi!"

The young man who stepped onto the stage paused, raised his head and looked over. In the place where the dignitaries were, a girl with a bun, a flower on her forehead, and pearls and jade in her hair was waving at him. Her almond eyes were bright and her smile was as beautiful as a flower. Among those ladies who were covered in powder and rich and noble, her eyes were like amber. She said loudly:
"Gotta win!"

Such an encouraging voice is unique.

Here, warriors are fighting for their own future; the legion is looking for new young military officers; the dignitaries are building relationships, and the emperor is building momentum for his son. Only one person is shouting loudly, "You have to win, Li Guanyi."

The place where the wives of the dignitaries were suddenly quiet.

The ladies looked at the laughing girl over there, they seemed to remember something, sighed, and smiled kindly. Li Guanyi looked in the direction of the eldest lady, he sighed, and the young man stretched out his hand and clenched his fist in the direction of the eldest lady.

Then he put down his sword.

The long sword is sheathed.

He stretched out his hand, grasped the most difficult halberd to learn next to him, raised this unopened sharp weapon for the competition, shook it casually, and the halberd broke through the air, making a sharp whistle. Then he held the halberd in one hand, held it diagonally, and stepped onto the martial arts stage.

The opponent's face turned paler and paler.

???

The eldest lady encouraged Li Guanyi and looked at the young man holding the spear over there.

And on the high ground, Chen Qingyan, with his snow-white temples, looked at the two of them quietly. For some reason, he suddenly felt dazed, as if he saw his past self and that man. Time is always like this. In a trance, he would see his former self in the next generation.

The young man opposite Li Guanyi is the second son of a fourth-rank military officer of the imperial court. His name is Xiang Guangtao and he is dedicated to martial arts.

But when he saw that his opponent was Li Guanyi, the expression on his face turned pale.

When he saw Li Guanyi put down his sword and picked up his halberd.

When the girl who looked like his childhood sweetheart cheered him on, the young warrior's face lost all color, but he gritted his teeth and stood there, holding the spear in his hand, saying, "Join the military, please!"

Li Guanyi said: "I am just a ninth-rank guard now."

Xiang Guangtao said: "But in our eyes, you are still the military officer..."

He stabbed out with all his strength, but Li Guanyi shook the halberd in his palm and directly pushed the spear down. At this time, as long as Li Guanyi took a step forward, the halberd would brush against the handle of the spear and sweep upwards, directly taking the weapon down.

Xiang Guangtao's face turned pale, but the next moment, Li Guanyi simply retracted his halberd.

Li Guan placed his halberd against the ground, then raised his left hand and stretched it forward, saying:

"Come."

Xiang Guangtao was slightly startled, but then he understood what Li Guanyi meant. He knew that the young man was giving him a chance to show what he had learned. With gratitude in his eyes, he said, "Thank you for joining the army..."

Then he stepped forward and displayed his martial arts.

Li Guanyi did not win quickly. He just held the halberd and fought with Xiang Guangtao. Then, he guided Xiang Guangtao's spear just as General Xue guided himself, allowing him to display all his martial arts. For a while, the halberd and the spear collided continuously.

Xiang Guangtao just felt that he was almost surpassing the past, and suddenly he let out a long roar.

Thousands of gun shadows gathered together and one gun shot out.

Li Guanyi swung his halberd and cut off the spear, causing Xiang Guangtao's palm to go numb.

Stumbled back.

Then he looked up and saw a hand reaching out. Li Guan, who was wearing dark blue armor and holding a halberd in one hand, smiled and said, "Thank you."

Xiang Guangtao was pleased and convinced, and said, "...Thank you for your guidance, General."

He saw his father heaved a sigh of relief, and saw a legionary strategist nod to him. He felt a trance-like sense that he had finally made it. Then, he saw Li Guanyi walking away. He clasped his fists towards the young man's back and bowed deeply.

Zhou Liuying said: "Strange, Boss, you didn't win well today."

Ye Buyi said: "...It seems so. He should have his intentions."

Li Zhaowen was stunned, then he clapped his hands and sighed, saying: "I suggested that you show your talent to the princes, but you actually did the opposite. Amazing, amazing. Others showed their talents to the princes, but you showed your ability to these young military officers."

"Fair and upright."

“Hahaha, awesome.”

Only a few people noticed Li Guanyi's actions.

Pojun's mouth corners raised, pressed down, and then raised again.

I can't control it at all.

This is the power of a king, grand and upright, it can win their hearts!
The emperor watched the battles. He saw his son winning happily, and felt that he had done a good job in training him. So he said to the divine general Yuwen Lie who was sitting next to him, "General Yuwen, do you think there is anyone in this competition who is worthy of your attention?"

Yuwen Lie said: "The grandson of the Sword Saint does have his grandfather's style, but he is still a swordsman master in the martial arts world, not a general. Ge Shuyin has extraordinary spirit, but he is quite old and silent, so he can only be a general who maintains the status quo, but it is difficult for him to become a first-class general."

The emperor casually said, "My clan has a brother's son, what do you think?"

Yuwen Lie glanced at Chen Yuyun who had defeated his opponent and said, "A disciple of Yu Jin Bing Ge."

"The means are very good, with bloody courage and martial arts skills."

"It is the caliber of a king."

The emperor laughed: "It seems that the boy is quite capable, but not as good as General Yuwen's nephew."

Yuwen Lie said: "Hua'er has martial arts skills and courage, but at best he is just a fierce general."

"I can't be a general who can command a large army."

The emperor asked curiously, "So, does General Yuwen know that he has such talent?"

Yuwen Lie shook his head and said, "It's hard to find a talented general." But after the emperor left, the prince of Ying asked Yuwen Lie the same question. Yuwen Lie remained silent. He pointed at Li Guanyi who was fighting with his opponent and said, "This person."

The Crown Prince of Ying was surprised.

Yuwen Lie said slowly, "He is giving all the young military officers the opportunity to show their talents. With such people, the winners will not be arrogant, and the losers will be convinced and even thank him. The best strategy is to attack the enemy's mind, and the best strategy is to attack his heart."

"Ten years from now, these young military attachés will remember what happened today."

"Chen Yuyun is a skilled martial artist, but he is too violent; Hua'er and Geshu Yin are only capable of charging into battle."

Prince Ying asked, "What about him?"

Yuwen Lie said decisively: "What a handsome guy!"

"My nephew will command the troops, and he will command the generals."

"Your Highness, if you are willing, you can invite him. If he is willing to come to Ying State, I am willing to take off my armor and apologize for what happened before. In front of the civil and military officials and heroes of the world, Yuwen Lie will bear the thorns and plead guilty to him. He is a great talent and deserves this."

The Fifth Divine General of the World readily gave this answer, and then added, when the prince was surprised, "But if he refuses, Your Highness, please kill him."

"He will be your great enemy in the future."

Prince Ying was surprised, nodded slowly, and said:
"Then I do have to meet him."

Li Guanyi won another battle, and suddenly his movements paused. He felt a great malice, and slowly raised his weapon. He glanced over, and with the Qi-gazing technique activated, he saw Yu Wenhua raising his weapon towards him, with a defiant smile on his face, but mostly with a desire to fight.

Geshu Yin nodded kindly because Li Guanyi had just treated the Iron Buddha Captain in the same manner.

Xu Huiyang smiled and nodded like a wanderer.

Chen Yuyun greeted with a smile.

Li Guanyi saw that behind Yu Wenhua was a burning desire to fight and open hostility.

Geshu Yin was only joining the war for official business. Xu Huiyang was curious, but behind Chen Yuyun, there was something blood-red mixed with ink, and that kind of malice and hostility, even beyond murderous intent, the malice that wanted to torture and humiliate Li Guanyi to death was almost pouring out.

Chen Yuyun had a gentle and sincere smile on his face and said, "Great."

Li Guanyi lowered his eyes and made a decision.

After today's battle, Pojun found Li Guanyi and enthusiastically praised the young man's victory. Li Guanyi said, "I have something I want to trouble you with, sir."

Po Jun praised: "You took advantage of the Chen State Grand Festival to show your kindness to the young military officer. This is a kingly move. If you have any problem, please tell me and I will definitely help you solve it!"

Li Guanyi: "I want to kill someone."

"Please sir, tell me how to kill him myself without implicating me."

Po Jun was stunned: "Who?"

Li Guanyi said: "Chen Yuyun."

Then he said something that made Pojun's pupils shrink slightly.

"Emperor Chen's illegitimate son."
