Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 308 Tempting Each Other (3)

For those who practice martial arts, it is common to challenge and be challenged. In the early years, when Li Xian's martial arts skills were not yet mastered, he did not miss many challenges. Not only the generals in his family were tossed by Li Xian That's enough, even the generals of the sixteen guards were often pulled over by Li Xian, and later, even if Li Xian's martial arts had become great, he was often invited to fight, such as Jiang Ye and other younger soldiers The generals were all proud of defeating Li Xian, but unfortunately, no one could do it. After Li Xian fought against Tuyuhun, his reputation for bravery spread all over the world, and no one dared to speak boldly in front of Li Xian. Of course, Li Xian Xian's growing power in the court is also one of the important reasons why everyone dare not be presumptuous. As a result, it is difficult for Li Xian to find a target that can be practiced quickly. Now that Li Wen is going to challenge himself, Li Xian It was really itchy, but Li Xian didn't express his opinion in a hurry, and he didn't look at Li Wen, who was eager to try. Instead, he looked at Li Chong, who was obviously the person in charge, with great interest, as if waiting for him to make an explanation .

Li Xian didn't open his mouth, Li Xian was so happy to watch the excitement, he looked at Li Chong with a half-smile, his face full of amusement, this way, Li Chong will suffer, you know, Li Xian brothers are not ordinary People, but the two most powerful princes today, it can be said that the next prince must come from one of these two. Although Li Chong is born with tenacity, it is difficult for these two to treat him like this. Some sons were shy, but he didn't dare to disobey his father's explanation. No matter what, he still had to find out Li Xian's bottom line. Whether it was martial arts or his attitude on the matter of establishing a reserve, Li Chong had to give it to him. It is only necessary to come up with a plausible answer, moreover, Li Chong has always boasted of his superior martial arts skills, this time he came to Luoyang, he originally had the intention of being superior to Li Xianyi, so he refused to let it go.

"Third brother, stop messing around. His Royal Highness is such an honorable status that I can challenge him. Hurry up and apologize to His Royal Highness!"

Li Chong is obviously a ruthless person. After making up his mind, he immediately reprimanded Li Wen pretending to be angry, but in his words, he ran on Li Xian with a gun and a stick, making it clear that he wanted to spy on Li Xian Let's see if Li Xian is really as unstoppable as rumored.

"Brother Yingwang, please forgive me. I really shouldn't have offended you. If there is any offense, please forgive me."

Li Wen obviously heard the meaning of Li Chong's words, and immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Li Xian, cupped his hands and apologized, but the sour taste in these words was strong enough, as if in To say that Li Xian is just timid and dare not fight, is like using his status to suppress others.

Hehe, these two bastards are playing a big show, and they really don't give up until they reach the Yellow River, well, don't give me some lessons, I really don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes!Hearing that Li Chong and Li Wen were talking nonsense there, Li Xian was secretly amused. To be honest, this scene was just a test of each other. I want to know what these guys who came to the court to disrupt the situation are capable of. In view of this, Li Xian did not hesitate to teach the other party a profound lesson. Left and right are nothing more than competitions. Li Xian has done a lot of work earlier. How can you really take it to heart.

"Brother Wen doesn't need to be like this, my brother, it's not offensive to play a few hands, left and right are just for fun, since Brother Wen has this intention, I should accompany you as a brother, well, I don't know what Brother Wen is good at Weapons, horse fighting or foot fighting?" Li Xian raised his hand with a smile, indicating that Li Wen should not be too polite, and asked indifferently.

"If you go back to Brother Yingwang, my younger brother also likes swordsmanship. It involves both horse fighting and foot combat. I also ask Brother Yingwang to enlighten me."

Hearing that Li Xian agreed to his challenge, Li Wen immediately became excited. It was not because he expected to defeat Li Xian for real, but because he wanted to fight Li Xian a few more times to invite his brother. After laying the groundwork for the battle against Li Xian, he quickly stood up in the hall and replied loudly.

"Oh? It turns out that Brother Wen also likes swordsmanship. That's a coincidence. Brother Wen also often plays with knives, but his skills are average, so I can't talk about giving advice. It's enough for my brothers to learn from each other. That's good. Brother Wei sits still, Brother Wen just attacks with a knife, if brother Wei leaves his position, Brother Wen will win." Li Xian only looked at Li Wen's walking posture, and he knew that his skills were average. , the saber technique is good but limited, so I don't care about it. This seems to be polite, but in fact he gave a condition with contempt. Immediately, no matter how ugly Li Wen's face is, he clapped his hands and stopped drinking. He said in a loud voice: "Come on, put on the horizontal knife!"

"promise!"

Now that Li Xian had given the order, the guards who were waiting in the hall did not dare to be negligent, and hastily complied with the promise, and one of the guards walked up the hall with two sheathed horizontal knives in their hands. .

"Brother Wen, please."

Li Xian waved his hand, signaling the guard who brought the knives to the hall to bring two knives to Li Wen, asking him to choose one first.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!"

Li Wen is also a proud and arrogant person. Being underestimated by Li Xian, his complexion turned black with anger. At this opportunity to test Li Xian's reality, he involuntarily cast his eyes on Li Chong, who was also ashen-faced. After seeing Li Chong nodded heavily, he took a deep breath, didn't make a choice, and casually took a handful of them. With the scabbard knife, he held both hands, bowed to Li Xian, and gritted his teeth.

"Brother Wen, you don't have to be polite, just go ahead and attack."

Li Xian stretched out his hand to take the sheathed knife handed over by the guard, and did not pull the knife out of the sheath, but held the handle of the knife with his right hand, smiled slightly, made a "please" gesture with his left hand, and said calmly.

"So, forgive me for being presumptuous, brother Yingwang, please be careful!"

Seeing Li Xian being so arrogant, Li Wen was so angry that he couldn't help it. He gritted his teeth, pulled out the horizontal knife, shook the knife casually, and rushed towards Li Xian who was sitting in the chairman's seat with a brisk step. With a wave of his hand, the light of the saber flashed, and he made a move of "Strength Slashing Huashan", and slashed down on Li Xian's head. The place of mercy.

The sword is the overlord of the army, and what it emphasizes is bravery and courage. Li Wen's angry strikes are full of momentum, and the sword is also fast. Although the moves are simple, there is a faint sound of wind and thunder. It looks majestic, like There was unstoppable violence, and Li Xian, who was sitting not far from Li Xian, couldn't help but his jaw almost dropped from the shock, but in Li Xian's eyes, the knife was impetuous, and the sharp It's just over, but there's no room for maneuver. In addition, the strides are too big, the lower body is flimsy, and the whole one is top-heavy. It's no exaggeration to say that there are flaws everywhere. If it's a life-and-death confrontation, Li Xian only needs to kill him with a single blow. But beheading Li Wen on the spot, even if Li Xian just sits upright and uses the knife, the result will not change in the slightest. Of course, this is just a sparring session. Li Xian will not kill, but he will be defeated Li Wen, however, did not have the slightest difficulty at all.

"Let go!"

Facing Li Wen's swift stabbing knife, Li Xian did not dodge. He just let out a calm expression, raised his hand, and swung the scabbard knife out. The speed was not too fast, but the angle was It was extremely tricky, and it happened to intercept Li Wen's slashing wrist. If Li Wen himself sent his wrist to Li Xian's knife with all his strength, but when Li Wen cried out in pain, his wrist went numb, and the knife in his hand He couldn't hold it any longer, and dropped his hand to the few blows in front of Li Xian, but seeing Li Xian's empty left hand lightly scooped it up, the horizontal knife hadn't hit a few blows, and Li Xian was already holding it in his hand.

"Okay, wonderful, the seventh brother really deserves the title of sword god!"

Li Xian had already defeated Li Wen with one move, and when this miraculous sword skill came out, the whole room was amazed, and everyone was shocked, but Li Xian, who didn't know much about martial arts, was the first to come back to his senses, and he didn't care how much Li Chong brothers were doing. How ugly this face is, he laughed and called out.

"It doesn't count, I'm not ready, come again, come again!"

Li Wen was originally ashamed and angry, but when Li Xian smiled like this, he couldn't hold back his face immediately, stomped his feet angrily, and acted recklessly.

Doesn't that count?Hehe, with you like this, it's useless to have ten or eight!Li Xian had already tested Li Wen's falsehood with one knife, and he didn't care about his attitude of becoming angry from embarrassment. He turned the knife in his left hand with a smile, pointed the hilt at Li Wen, and said with a relaxed expression: "It's okay, brother Wen just come back when he's ready."

"Okay, come on!"

Li Wen didn't think too much about it, he was focused on turning his face back, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he had already received the knife in his hand, and he was about to fight again, but Li Chong, who was sitting by the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped his face with a livid face. A few children stopped drinking and said: "Enough, don't you think it's embarrassing? Don't back down!"

"Ah, I... yes!"

Li Wen was glad to have a chance to turn the situation around, and when Li Chong yelled at him like this, his face immediately turned red, but he didn't dare to disobey Li Chong's order, so he could only back away with a bitter face.

"His Royal Highness, you are laughing at my younger brother's rudeness. It's getting late, and I will leave without disturbing His Royal Highness's rest."

Li Chong originally wanted to measure Li Xian's ability by himself, but he felt that he was not absolutely sure, so he dared not act rashly, so he said haha, got up and said goodbye.

"It doesn't matter, they are all my brothers, it doesn't matter if they are playing around. Brother Wang rarely comes to my younger brother's house, and he has to go after dinner. Although alcohol is not allowed during the national funeral, the meal must be eaten after all."

Li Xian still wanted to find out more about the truth, so he didn't intend to let Li Chong and the others leave just like that, so he stood up with a smile, and very politely asked to stay.

"That's... that's fine, then I'll talk about His Highness."

Although Li Chong's probing purpose of coming this time has been partially achieved, he didn't want to leave in such a disgruntled manner. Facing Li Xian's graciousness to persuade him to stay, Li Chong only hesitated for a moment, and then readily agreed. The game of trial and error obviously still has to be played.
