Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 425 Absolute Strength (5)

Dissatisfied?Then hit until you are satisfied!Li Xian is such a shrewd person, he can already see the strangeness behind Tuoba Shanye's flickering eyes at a glance, he is just forbearing, he just wants to show his weakness to find out Li Xian's cards, and try to find a countermeasure from it But, Li Xian didn't care about it at all. Since the other party wants to show weakness, then it's fine to make him weak. As far as Li Xian is concerned, it's really not a difficult thing to do. thing.

"You have two ways to go. One is to defeat Gu, and the other is to act according to Gu's instructions, fully integrate into our Tang Dynasty, and become a citizen of Tang Dynasty. You can choose your own path, and Gu will never force you!" Li Xian smiled and gave the answer confidently.

Defeat Li Xian?It's easy to say, but if you want to do it, it's like ascending to the sky. Let alone Li Xian's powerful generals, and Li Xian himself has the reputation of being the god of war in the army. It was enough to make Tuoba Shanye think twice, but it was obviously not a situation he was willing to accept if Tuoba Shanye unconditionally obeyed Li Xian's orders. The twenty or so tribes can reach an agreement on this. In other words, Tuoba Mountain and the Wild do not want to go on these two roads. The problem is that, judging by Li Xian's tone, there is obviously no room for negotiation. How should we deal with this situation? The situation became an insurmountable hurdle in front of Tuoba Shanye.

"Your Highness clearly learned that even though a certain class is worthless, they are unwilling to give up on themselves. What is meant by defeat, please tell Your Highness clearly."

Tuoba Shanye has been in poverty since he was a child, but he is eager to learn by nature. He once studied Chinese for several years with a down-and-out businessman who was exiled in the tribe. He is very well-versed in poetry and books, but he is a rare "literate person" among the Hexi tribes. He has arrogance in his heart. Even in the face of a strong man like Li Xian, he would not give up easily. After thinking about it for a while , finally decided to try the possibility of the first way.

"It's very simple. You can choose to lead the more than [-] people outside the pass to raise the flag of rebellion, and see how the solitary can defeat you and others. You can also choose to challenge the solitary with your own bravery. But there are some people who can win against the solitary. In the previous battle The sin of the time can be written off, and you can do whatever you want, let alone a Hezhou racecourse, even if you want the governor of Hexi led by Gu, you can also choose to play with Gu on the sand table, if you can win Guogu, everything is the same as above, of course, you can also choose all three, and there is nothing wrong with being accompanied by one alone."

Li Xian's words are extremely confident, even conceited, but they are definitely not groundless arrogance. This is a trend, a trend that looks down on the world. There is enough background to say such rhetoric.

"The grassroots are ignorant, and they really don't know what sand table deduction is. Please tell your highness clearly."

Tuoba Shanye has never been a person who is easily subdued. Facing Li Xian's strength, not only did he not panic, but he was aroused with a strong desire to win. However, he did not rush to make a decision, but cautiously He asked a question.

"Have you seen the things over there? That's the sand table. As for the deduction, it's also simple. You and I each hold a small flag to replace the troops, and we can compete on the sand table. If you don't understand, you can do it later." Let's practice first."

Hearing that Tuoba Shanye really wanted to rise up and resist as he expected, Li Xian couldn't help laughing, raised his hand, pointed to the sand table on the left corner, and explained calmly.

"Your Highness is a dragon-like figure. The grass people have always admired him, and they dare not be enemies with His Highness. However, the ranch is the foundation of us, and there is no room for loss. The grass people can only boldly ask His Highness for advice. Please, Your Highness, Haihan. .”

Only then did Tuoba Shanye notice the large sand table placed in the corner of the wall, but he didn't look at it carefully, but lowered his head and meditated for a while, and finally raised his head suddenly, staring at Li Xian issued a declaration of challenge with a solemn expression.

"It's okay, Gu said, you can try as much as you want."

Li Xian accepted Tuoba Shanye's challenge by nodding his head indifferently, with a very relaxed expression.

"I've heard for a long time that His Highness is a master of the Dao of the Sword, and Cao Min is also a master of swordsmanship. Although he is not very good at it, he can barely see through it. Cao Min would like to ask His Highness about the mystery of the sword technique first."

At the beginning, the battle between Li Xian and Ming Chongyan's East Palace was earth-shattering. Although there were not many spectators, it had a great impact. In just half a year, it spread to the whole world. As the business traveler mentioned, he secretly thought about competing with Li Xian, but Li Xiangui is the prince, so how can he be easily approached by a mediocre man? However, this euphemistically puts forward the request to compete with the sword first.

"can."

Tuoba Shanye plays an extremely important role in Li Xian's grand plan, and this is the reason why Li Xian would rather go to great lengths to subdue him. Because of this, Li Xian will not object to his competition of sword skills Asked, he agreed with a smile, and then clapped his hands, and saw Liu Ziming walking in from the outside.

"Ziming, go get two horizontal knives."

Li Xian didn't talk nonsense, and confessed directly.

"promise!"

Hearing what Li Xian said, Liu Ziming's eyes immediately fell on Tuoba Shanye, but he didn't ask much about the details, but respectfully agreed, and hurried out of the city gate, holding two hands without counting breaths. Turned the sheathed horizontal knife back.

"I wonder if brother Tuoba can get used to the standard horizontal knife in this army?"

Li Xian didn't rush to reach out to receive the knife that Liu Ziming presented, but asked Tuoba Shanye with a smile.

"It can still be used."

According to the "Laws of the Tang Dynasty", horizontal knives are controlled weapons and are forbidden to be owned by the people, but in fact they cannot be banned at all. Not only the folks of the Tang Dynasty, but also the dignitaries on the grassland can manage to get such knives. Ba Shanye is no exception, the knife he usually uses is a horizontal knife, so he will not object to using a horizontal knife to compete at this time.

"That's good, Brother Tuoba, just choose it first."

Li Xian waved his hands and signaled Tuoba Shanye to choose the knife first.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Tuoba Shanye bowed his body, thanked him humbly, and then, without further politeness, reached out and took a knife from Liu Ziming's hand, gently drew the knife out of its sheath, and pointed like a sword, on the back of the blade After wiping it back and forth, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good knife!"

The knives are naturally good knives. These two knives are the knives used by the royal guards of the British Palace. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a precious sword, but anyone who can see such a horizontal sword will be shocked by it. Li Xian has long been used to this, and at this moment, seeing Tuoba Shanye fondly playing with the sword in his hand Hengdao, Li Xian just smiled lightly, did not urge him, until Tuoba Shanye raised his head, then got up, took the knife in Liu Ziming's hand, did not draw it out of its sheath in a hurry, and walked away When he arrived in the hall, he waved the scabbard knife and made a "please" gesture to Tuoba Shanye who was coming.

"excuse me!"

Tuoba Shanye held his sword in his chest, bowed his hands in salute, and immediately opened his posture, and lowered his body with one foot forward and one foot behind, his whole body was like a drawn bow, ready to strike violently at any time .

"You're welcome, but if Xiao Er can force Gu to take a step back, you've won, please!"

As the saying goes, an expert will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move. Li Xian only saw Tuoba Shanye's airs, and he had a general understanding of his attainments in the Dao of the sword. How to take it to heart, this smiled, and put the conditions for his victory at the widest point.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

The sword is the master of the army, but everyone who uses the sword has an indomitable spirit, and Tuoba Shanye is also the same. Hearing what Li Xian said, he immediately became annoyed, and felt that he was underestimated. Thinking about gains and losses again, with a clear whistle, and with a shake of his arm, the saber was slashed out obliquely, the speed of the saber was faster than lightning, and in just a flash, it broke through the distance of less than three feet between the two sides. The blade's edge was less than half a foot away from Li Xian's waist, and it was so powerful that it was about to split Li Xian in half.

"Not bad, but the speed is a bit slow."

Tuoba Shanye's sharp knife was fierce, but Li Xian didn't care about it at all. He still had time to comment, but his hand was not slow at all. Knocking, it hit the knife surface of the attacking knife with incomparable accuracy, but after hearing the crisp sound of "choking", Tuoba Shanye's knife momentum was interrupted, not only that, but a burst of vigor Dali suddenly rushed straight at Tuoba Shanye's wrist along the edge of the blade, and his wrist was numb from the shock, and he almost couldn't hold the handle of the knife. He was so shocked, he didn't care much, and hurriedly jumped to the side with the force of the counter-shock He drove away, turned several times in a row, and finally managed to escape the attack of huge force.

"Your Highness is wise, the grassroots are really hard to come by just in case, but for the sake of the lives and deaths of all ethnic groups, the grassroots dare not back down, and they will take the grassroots knife again!"

Although Tuoba Shanye's previous saber was made out of anger, he didn't try his best. He just wanted to test Li Xian's bottom line, but he didn't expect that Li Xian could break it so easily. The arrogance dissipated immediately, but he never wanted to admit defeat, so he took a deep breath, calmed down, swiped the horizontal knife, and said solemnly.

"It's okay, brother Tuoba just use his best to make moves."

Although there was only one move in the fight, Li Xian was sure of Tuoba Shanye's ability, and he didn't care about taking another blow, so he swung the scabbard knife and replied calmly.

"kill!"

Tuoba Shanye didn't show any more politeness, he shook his arm, and with a loud roar, he followed the knife and slashed three times in an instant. Amidst the violent howling of the knife, the three sword lights rushed towards Li Xian in the shape of a character In the past, before the saber arrived, the saber intent had locked Li Xian's figure to death. This move was significantly stronger than the previous one. Even if it was as strong as Li Xian, his pupils could not help but shrink because of it.
