Li Yuanji knew what Ling Jing wanted to say, but he remained silent with a gloomy face.
Ling Jing must have wanted to say that Kan Leng was trying his best.
Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that Kan Leng is trying his best.
But for some unknown reason, Ling Jing just kept saying "this, this, this" without saying anything.
It may be that due to his status as a colleague, he does not want to lose Kan Leng's prestige; it may also be due to the fact that the results have not yet appeared, and he does not want to draw premature conclusions.
Li Yuanji regretted a little bit that we had just talked to death together, otherwise he would have given up on Kan Leng's behalf now.
The reason why Kan Leng was fighting Yu Chigong was partly because he wanted to win for him, and partly because he had just said on the high platform that he would not admit defeat.
It's all for him anyway, not for himself at all.
Li Yuanji once again complained in his heart that Kan Leng was stubborn, and then glanced at Ren Gui.
He had already said that he would not admit defeat for his subordinates, so there was no way he could break his promise in public, so he could only let Ren Gui speak.
Ren Gui had seniority and had become the third-in-command of Daxingtai in Hebei Province. She was qualified to disobey him and admit defeat for Kan Leng in this situation.
As for letting him watch Kan Leng fight for a piece of useless energy, that was simply impossible.
Just arguing in this situation won't affect anything at all.
It will only bring shame to Yuchi Gong and make Li Shimin look ugly.
Other than that, there is no benefit.
Maybe he will become enemies with Yuchi Gong, and maybe he will be remembered by Li Shimin.
So it’s okay to say that you don’t want to fight, and there is no need to fight with your life.
Li Yuanji is not a particularly face-saving person, nor does he care much about the illusory face.
If he could give up face so that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin could give up fighting and start living in harmony, he would give up face without hesitation.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing is impossible to happen.
He doesn't need his subordinates to risk their lives just to win face for him.
Not only him, but most of the people in later generations who have been raped in society for a long time will not be able to risk their lives just to save face.
It’s not that the vast majority of people in future generations don’t care about face, but that the vast majority of people in future generations know better that life is more important than face.
Ren Gui saw Li Yuanji's eyes and was stunned for a moment. In an instant, he understood what Li Yuanji meant. He immediately laughed and said: "I think General Yuchi won this battle, so why not just let it go and continue the competition.
I’m afraid I’m going to lose my harmony.”
Speaking of this, Ren Gui looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Highness doesn't want to lose your kindness, right?"
Li Shimin's eyes lingered on Ren Gui for a while, then glanced at Li Yuanji, and then said happily: "Guan Gong's words are right, I will tell Jingde to stop."
In Li Shimin's view, Yuchi Gong's general Kan Leng had been beaten badly enough and had taken enough advantage.
If the fight continues, 99% of Kan Leng will be seriously injured.
It really can't be fought anymore.
Immediately, Li Shimin was about to order someone to tell Yuchi Gong to stop.
Kan Leng, who was competing in the competition arena, seemed to feel that the people on the high platform were admitting defeat for him, so he roared, completely gave up his defense, and at the cost of being seriously injured by Yu Chi Gong, he attacked Yu Chi Gong with a knife.
attack.
Regardless of the cost, he successfully opened a large gap in Yuchi Gong's body.
He also had his hand broken off by Yuchi Gong's Iron Bone Flower and was knocked unconscious.
When Li Shimin saw this, he stared straight in the eyes and said, "He is a real warrior."
It was also a desperate struggle. If Du Ruhui persisted even though Ling Jing had already held back his hand, that would be a shame. If Kan Leng fought hard even though Yu Chigong didn't hold back, that would be a fierce warrior.
As a commander-in-chief, as a general on horseback, and as a collector of famous generals, Li Shimin naturally preferred men.
So I praised him without any hesitation.
Li Yuanji's heart was bleeding, and he subconsciously looked at Xie Shufang and others, hoping that Xie Shufang and others would not be as stupid as Kan Leng, but when he saw that Xie Shufang and others' eyes became firm and heavy, his heart started to bleed.
More.
Obviously, Kan Leng's bloody fight to the death gave them a 'good start'.
If they then give up because they can't hold on any longer, or if they try to slow down their efforts, then Kan Leng's blood will be in vain.
So when they face the 'challenge' later, they will definitely be energetic and treat it with the same attitude as Kan Leng.
But he couldn't persuade me on this occasion.
Because when Yuchi Gong approached Kan Leng for a test, it was above and below, and Kan Leng was on the weak side in every aspect. It was also known to everyone that Kan Leng could not be Yu Chigong's opponent.
Therefore, no one would think it was wrong if he tried to persuade Kan Leng, even if he tried to boost others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige, and no one would think he was cowardly.
But when Xie Shufang and others went out to compete, he couldn't say such things and couldn't say them.
Because Xie Shufang and others are not weak in all aspects, no matter they face anyone under Li Shimin, they will not be on the weak side, so he cannot say anything to Xie Shufang and others that boosts others' ambitions and destroys his own prestige.
Otherwise, you will definitely be considered a coward.
It will also ruin the reputation of Xie Shufang and others, making Xie Shufang and others feel dissatisfied.
He doesn't care about face, nor does he care about his tone.
But Xie Shufang and others may not care.
So he could only look at Ling Jing, hoping that Ling Jing would say a few words for him.
After Ling Jing felt his gaze, he immediately understood what he meant.
However, Ling Jing responded with a wry smile and did not speak.
Obviously, Ling Jing also knew that Xie Shufang and others would be dissatisfied if he said such words and did not want to offend others.
"I'll do the next one!"
After Li Yuanji withdrew his gaze from Ling Jing and ordered people to carry Ling Jing back to Jiulongtan Mountain for treatment, Xie Shufang did not wait for Li Shimin to speak again and stood up decisively to ask for help.
When Li Shimin faced this kind of person who came to his door to beat him, he naturally smiled and happily agreed to Xie Shufang's request.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He also said hello and asked who would like to accompany Xie Shufang.
A moment.
Almost all the generals in Tiance Mansion who held the title of Duke stood up.
Li Shimin almost without hesitation ordered Qin Qiong's general and asked Qin Qiong to accompany Xie Shufang.
Qin Qiong is nearly a round older than Xie Shufang, his martial arts skills are superior to Xie Shufang's, and his methods are more sophisticated than Xie Shufang's. It is almost impossible for Xie Shufang to defeat Qin Qiong.
If more than ten years pass, Xie Shufang can beat Qin Qiong.
After all, more than ten years later, Qin Qiong's peak period has passed, and Xie Shufang's peak period has arrived.
Regardless of the fact that Qin Qiong was seriously ill, Qin Qiong could not beat Xie Shufang.
This is not to say that Qin Qiong's martial arts skills will not increase with age, but the condition of generals will decline as they get older. Even if their martial arts skills are higher and more sophisticated, their physical strength is not enough to support them to compete with generals in their prime.
This is why the general is afraid of being late.
It's not that generals are afraid of old age, it's that they are afraid that when they get old, their eyesight, experience, martial arts, and means have all reached the stage of transformation, but their physical strength cannot support them to dominate the battlefield anymore.
The suffering and loneliness of having a talent but not being able to use it, or being able to use it, are what generals fear the most.
Unfortunately, there is no way to postpone this competition until more than ten years later, so Xie Shufang can only face Qin Qiong who is at his peak.
So Uncle Xie is destined to lose.
The only thing that can be achieved is to inflict a little more injury on Qin Qiong and save a little more face before defeat.
Neither Xie Shufang nor Qin Qiong were procrastinators. After deciding to compete, they decisively walked to the arena with their weapons and started competing directly.
Xie Shufang used the spear, while Qin Qiong took a spear.
After a simple test, the life-threatening competition began.
Qin Qiong seemed to know that Xie Shufang would risk his life just like Kan Leng, so after the test, he started to fight without hesitation.
Qin Qiong fully demonstrated what it means to fight a lion against a rabbit and you have to go all out.
The reason why Li Shimin asked Qin Qiong to compete with Xie Shufang was probably because of Qin Qiong's ability to go all out against any opponent.
Li Shimin didn't want Qin Qiong and Xie Shufang to fight as badly as Yuchi Gong and Kan Leng again, but hoped that Qin Qiong could ravage his opponent with overwhelming force.
Facts have proved that Li Shimin's choice was right. Qin Qiong did defeat Xie Shufang in an overwhelming manner, but the outcome was different from what Li Shimin thought.
Xie Shufang finally dug a hole in Qin Qiong's body, a big hole.
Although he has more holes in his body.
Li Yuanji's heart was bleeding again. After sending someone to stop Xie Shufang's bleeding, he quickly sent Xie Shufang back to Jiulongtan Mountain for treatment.
Then, with blood dripping from his heart, Li Yuanji sent his men back to Jiulongtan Mountain one by one.
When the competition is completely over.
In addition to Ling Jing's unexpected victory, Ren Gui also used a trick to win when facing Qu Tutong.
Almost all the rest were lost.
The worst loser was Quan Xu. He faced Li Junxian first and was tied with Li Junxian.
Then he took the initiative to ask for another fight and faced Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang, who had five hundred adopted sons in history, was beheaded by Li Shimin for treason.
Zhang Liang poked six holes in his body.
There was a hole right next to the vital part, and he almost died on the spot.
…
evening.
After Li Yuanji declined Li Shimin's invitation to a banquet, he hurried back to Jiulongtan Mountain. When he arrived at the thatched cottage where a group of apricot forest masters from Chang'an Xinglu had temporarily settled, he saw a large number of mumaiyin.
Kan Leng, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanshu, etc. were almost all wrapped in gauze. The one who was wrapped the most tightly was Quan Xu, who was the most seriously injured.
Li Yuanji opened his mouth, wanting to say something reproachful, but he swallowed it back when the words reached his lips.
In the end, not only did he not say any words of blame, but he also encouraged him with a serious look on his face: "Although you lost more than you won today, you still showed the blood and spirit of my family.
After you recover from your injuries, I will definitely host a banquet in honor of you and reward you heavily.
Just stay here and recuperate."
Kan Leng and Xie Shufang, the only ones who could speak, declined a few words.
After all, although Li Yuanji praised them, if they didn't win, they didn't win. If they didn't win face for Li Yuanji, they just didn't win face for Li Yuanji.
They really don't have the nerve to take Li Yuanji's reward.
Li Yuanji ignored their refusal and insisted on settling the matter, and then walked away. When he reached the door of the thatched cottage, he suddenly said, "Kan Leng, you can serve as a deputy under Ziwei from now on."
Kan Leng is a bit too straight.
If you want it to be of great use, you must retrain it.
It's just that Li Yuanji didn't have that much free time, so he could only hand Kan Leng over to Ren Gui for training.
I hope he can follow Ren Gui's example and become more diplomatic and stop being so upright.
Although Xie Shufang is also upright, his uprightness is in the right place. He is only upright in rules and legal principles, unlike Kan Leng, who is full of uprightness and has no flexibility at all.
So we need to train, train deeply.
Ren Gui, a mentor who can train three famous generals who are famous in history, is undoubtedly the best candidate to train Kan Leng.
Li Yuanji walked out of the thatched cottage where the apricot masters from Chang'an Xinglu had temporarily settled, and walked towards the courtyard of the Jingshe in the dusk, sighing deeply.
Ren Gui, who was following him, heard Li Yuanji sigh and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness is unhappy?"
Li Yuanji said angrily: "I only have a few useful people under my command, and now they are all disabled. How can I be happy?"
Ren Gui stroked his long beard and suddenly smiled, "Don't you think, Your Highness, this is a good thing?"
Li Yuanji was stunned and looked at Ren Gui in astonishment.
What’s better?!
Ren Gui smiled and explained: "Didn't His Highness see that today's incident was specially created by His Highness King Qin?"
Li Yuanji nodded, of course he could see this, and he saw it when Li Shimin summoned all the generals of Tiance Mansion to Nanyuan Hunting Ground.
Li Shimin wanted to find trouble and take revenge for being beaten in front of the Tai Chi Hall.
But is this a good thing?
Ren Gui continued with a smile: "Your Highness, why does His Highness King Qin do this? Is it just to show prestige in front of His Highness? Is it just to prove that his generals are stronger than those of His Highness?"
Li Yuanji understood the meaning of Ren Gui's words in an instant.
Li Shimin still didn't trust him. Even though he had lowered his guard against him, he still wanted to cripple all his men so that he would not be able to participate in the fight between him and Li Jiancheng in a short period of time.
Li Shimin did this to ensure nothing went wrong.
It was also to concentrate all the thoughts and strength to deal with Li Jiancheng.
"If what I have predicted is correct, His Highness the King of Qin should soon take action against His Highness the Crown Prince, and his methods should be unprecedentedly ruthless. If His Highness wants to do something, he should make some preparations as soon as possible."
Seeing that Li Yuanji was silent, Ren Gui knew that Li Yuanji understood what he said, so he went on to tell his guess.
Li Yuanji frowned subconsciously, feeling secretly shocked.
Ren Gui's guess has a high chance of being true.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Li Shimin left no room at all in the previous competition.
Logically speaking, when Li Shimin's people win more chips, they have to give up two or three games, so that everyone's faces look better.
He and Li Shimin are not life-and-death enemies yet. If Li Shimin had no other thoughts, he would not leave any room.
But Li Shimin really didn't leave any room, which shows that Li Shimin had other ideas.
Li Shimin's thoughts are probably what Ren Gui guessed.
He has always relied too much on history, and always subconsciously connects the struggle between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng with everything that has happened in history.
So much so that after discovering that Li Shimin came with bad intentions, he didn't think about it at all.
Now after being reminded by Ren Gui, he discovered it.
Things have long departed from the rules of history. Many things that should have happened or would have happened in history have not happened now. Many things that would only happen in a few years in history are already happening now, or have happened before.
So he can no longer rely on everything that happened in history to measure the struggle between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.
He must re-understand and re-examine the struggle between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.
Li Yuanji thought of this and said deeply: "Listening to what you said, it is really possible. What do you think my second brother will do?"
Ren Gui was stunned and said with a wry smile: "I can't say for sure. After all, His Highness King Qin's plans will not be told to me. But judging from what His Highness King Qin did today and his past behavior, His Highness King Qin has
We may start from two aspects.”
Li Yuanji asked: "What two aspects?"
Ren Gui pondered and said: "One of them should be the female scrolls in the palace. His Highness the Prince uses the female scrolls in the palace to plot against His Highness King Qin, and His Highness the King of Qin will also use the female scrolls in the palace to plot His Highness the Crown Prince. This is called treating others as they are.
He also heals his body.
The second one should be soldiers and horses. This is where His Highness the Crown Prince is weak, and where His Highness the King of Qin is strong. It is impossible for His Highness the King of Qin not to understand the principle of using strengths to avoid weaknesses and using long strengths to attack weaknesses.
And what His Highness King Qin did today at the Nanyuan Hunting Ground also confirms this point."
Speaking of this, Ren Gui specifically looked at Li Yuanji and said: "If His Highness the King of Qin did not start with soldiers and horses, there would be no need to seriously injure Kan Leng and others, and there would be no need to leave His Highness no room at all.
Isn't it because His Highness King Qin did this because he wanted to start with soldiers and horses, but was afraid that His Highness would suddenly lead his troops out to disrupt the situation?"
After listening to Ren Gui's words, Li Yuanji nodded in agreement and sighed sincerely, "My elder brother is definitely blind if he doesn't reuse you."
Ren Gui could easily see Li Shimin's intentions, and could easily analyze the direction of Li Shimin's action.
With Ren Gui's help, even if he can't win against Li Shimin, he won't lose too badly.
It is not unreasonable for Li Jiancheng to fail if he does not use this kind of talent, but instead uses a group of relatives who are not outstanding in ability.
Ren Gui bowed and said humbly: "Your Highness has spoken harshly. If His Highness the Crown Prince does not reuse me, it must be because he feels that I am not capable enough."
Li Yuanji took a deep look at Ren Gui.
He felt that Ren Guiming was being modest on the surface, but in fact he was insinuating Li Jiancheng.
