As for Bai Gui's swordsmanship... Although Wu Shiluo can see that Bai Gui's swordsmanship is not weak, otherwise it would not be possible to use the scabbard.
.....
Interrupt the fight between Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin.
But compared to the reward of killing Julu Hou's son, this risk is still worth taking.
"Li'er, you are confused, get out of here."
Zhao Mu's face changed slightly and he scolded.
Even though he was arrogant and domineering, Zhao Li was his only heir. If Zhao Li had any shortcomings, it would be enough to make him regret it for the rest of his life. If he had known it, he would not have let Lian Jin teach him how to practice swordsmanship.
"Father, I have my own place to make the decision. Although Xiang Shaolong is brave, his skills are still slightly inferior to Master Lian. Furthermore, Xiang Shaolong and Master Lian have been fighting for a long time, and his body is exhausted. I will recharge my batteries.
Victory can be won without force.'
Bai Gui considered his words and replied to Zhao Mu in a deep voice.
Victory without force!
When Julu Hou Zhao Mu heard this, he was a little eager to give it a try, but considering that Zhao Li was his only son, he felt that it was inappropriate to start a competition.
If you really lose your only son, then the gain outweighs the loss.
"Li'er, please step aside and stop messing around.
There was anger on Zhao Mu's face, and he turned to King Zhao and said: "I have no way of teaching my son, which makes the king laugh. Li'er was just confused for a moment, and he didn't take it seriously. Please don't agree to it."
"What did the Marquis say?" Wu Shiluo sneered, trying to regain his position, "In front of the king, Mr. Li first interfered with the sword fight between the two, and then said that the substitute master would come on... Could it be that the Marquis thought that
Is the king someone you can tease at will?'
"What about the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
He was an old man, and with a few words of encouragement, Bai Gui's situation instantly became precarious.
If he goes on stage, he may not be as good as others and be killed by Xiang Shaolong.
Not playing, this is the crime of deceiving the king. Even if King Zhao does not want to punish him severely, he will not let him go easily when it comes to the dignity of the king. "What Chief Wu said is reasonable.'
King Zhao stroked his beard under his chin. After speaking, he saw Julu Hou Zhao Mu getting up in a hurry, and waved his hand to ask Zhao Mu to calm down. He muttered again: "Zhao Li is different from Lian Jin
, this is Xiang Shaolong, the gentleman of Zhao Kingdom, you must remember not to hurt him."
No matter how powerful Lian Jin was, he was still a member of the Wei Kingdom and an outsider. But Zhao Li was different. Once Zhao Li made any mistake, he would have difficulty explaining it to Zhao Mu.
"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding of your love for your son."
Zhao Mu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to wait.
He could see that Xiang Shaolong hated Lian Jin to the core. If he followed common sense, Xiang Shaolong would definitely not show mercy to Bai Gui. But as long as Xiang Shaolong dared to hurt Bai Gui even a hair, he would not say that he would forgive him.
If Xiang Shaolong cannot be spared, King Zhao cannot spare Xiang Shaolong.
"Xiang Shaolong, do you understand the king's order?'
Wu Shiluo held up the wine glass with one hand and covered his face with his wide sleeve with the other hand. After drinking the wine, he narrowed his eyes and moved his lips slightly, as if he said two words.
However, only Xiang Shaolong can see where he is.
Shuer
Shu'er was a maid given to Xiang Shaolong by Tao Fang, but was later killed by Lian Jin.
This is where Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin’s enemies are.
Wu Shiluo's intention was to anger Xiang Shaolong. One Xiang Shaolong, with the strength of an ordinary man, could not affect the overall situation, but if Xiang Shaolong could be used as a chess piece to kill Julu Hou's son, it would be a great deal.
Xiang Shaolong nodded, sheathed his sword and stood in the palace, looking at Bai Gui coldly.
"Master Li, I will not show mercy later."
He whispered.
The two were fighting swords and standing very close. Therefore, his words could not reach the ears of the guests present. Only Bai Gui could hear. "Brother Xiang, please invite me."
Bai Gui was not annoyed, and his expression was gentle. He didn't look like he was here to compete with swords, but rather as if he was here for fun. He didn't seem to take the sword competition to his heart at all.
The next moment, the ceremony bell rang.
Xiang Shaolong struck first. He took half a step forward and raised his sword to slash at Bai Gui's face. The sword was very fast, and there was a rustling sound in the air. At the same time, his free left hand bent his elbow to prepare for a strike.
If the sword is not enough, and supplemented with Muay Thai fighting skills, Bai Gui will be knocked down within one or two moves.
However, right now.
The next moment, Bai Gui suddenly grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and then pulled out the bronze sword with lightning speed. He pulled out the sword so fast that he couldn't even see his shadow.
"Ahem
Xiang Shaolong's forward thrust was stopped by him. He looked at the long sword hanging on his neck with an extremely ugly expression. There was no way this sword could reach his neck, at least at this angle.
, speed and time, it is simply impossible.
But this sword was definitely coming across.
The cold sword edge pierced his neck, exuding a trace of blood. The sword was not stained with blood, and blood dripped down the tip of the micro-shoe onto the floor.
With one move, victory or defeat is determined.
The guests present in the main hall were all stunned. They never expected that this fight would end in such a funny scene. Xiang Shaolong, who was able to defeat Lian Jin, actually fell under Bai Gui's sword with just one move.
Didn't even make it through.
Even though Xiang Shaolong may have been exhausted in the previous fight, he would not have been defeated in one move.
In addition, Lian Jin is Bai Gui's swordsmanship teacher. Lian Jin is not as good as Xiang Shaolong. No matter how talented this disciple is, he cannot win so easily.
"Brother Xiang is good at swordsmanship, but he's still a little behind me.
Bai Gui sheathed his sword and looked calm.
He didn't kill Xiang Shaolong.
It's not because Xiang Shaolong is a "good guy". He doesn't have such compassion easily. It's because Xiang Shaolong is a time traveler from Hong Kong Island, and Xiang Shaolong has the time and space coordinates of the future world in his body. Even if he is
Even if he killed his father Zhao Mu, he would not kill Xiang Shaolong at this moment.
"Li'er, your swordsmanship is...so powerful.'
Julu Hou Zhao Mu was a little dumbfounded and said this after a while.
Although Zhao Li had a foundation in swordsmanship and was not weak in the past, it would be hard for him to believe that he was better than Lian Jin and Xiang Shaolong in swordsmanship. But such a strange scene happened in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but not believe it.
"Master Lian's teachings are very good."
Bai Gui cupped his hands and praised Lian Jin.
Lian Jin, who was seriously injured, was recuperating in the audience. Hearing Bai Gui's words, he was startled for a moment, and then he remembered the qi training technique he gave Bai Gui. Only this qi training technique could explain this.
The strength of a master of swordsmanship is not only reflected in the exquisiteness of his sword moves, but also in his physical strength. For example, Xiang Shaolong's body is stronger than that of Lian Jin, so even if Lian Jin's moves are exquisite, he cannot stop Xiang Shaolong's repeated attacks.
, he had no choice but to show his defeat, and was almost killed by Xiang Shaolong who stabbed him in the chest with a sword.
Bai Gui's body does not look like that of a swordsman.
The sword move used... was not necessarily exquisite, it was just an ordinary sword-drawing technique. Then only the Qi training technique he taught yesterday could explain all of this.
Zhao Mu looked confused. When Lian Jin saw this, he uttered a few secret words.
"So that's how it is
Zhao Mu laughed a few times. He raised his hands and said to King Zhao: "Your Majesty, Zhao Li has been asking Lian Jin for swordsmanship these days. He has long been superior to his master. It's just that Zhao Li is a gentleman, not a swordsman. Therefore,
I have never shown my true ability. Seeing Lian Jin's defeat this time, I was so anxious that I had no choice but to show off my superb swordsmanship."
"Li'er, I really gave you a surprise.
"Among the other countries, Young Master Hongying is outstanding in swordsmanship, but I, the man from Zhao Kingdom, am not bad either."
"Lian Jin and Xiang Shaolong had a bet before. As long as whoever wins, the king will give him a hand in marriage. Now it's my son who wins. I don't know about the king.
He first explained the unexpected scene, then changed the subject and talked about the bet.
He had also heard about the qi training skills that Lian Jin mentioned. However, ordinary qi training skills would never allow swordsmanship to reach such a level. But King Zhao was not a sharp-eyed person and could not tell the truth from the lies. He reasoned
Just prevarication.
"It is indeed a blessing for our country, Zhao Li, to have such ability.'
"I don't know...Zhao Li, whose daughter do you want to marry?'
King Zhao nodded, smiled, and expressed satisfaction.
Even though Bai Gui was somewhat incapable of winning, Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin were from another country, and Bai Gui was a descendant of the Zhao Kingdom whom he had watched grow up. If Zhao Li could win, even if it was by luck, it would be better than Lian Jin.
Either Jin or Xiang Shaolong wins.
Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, glanced at Wu Tingfang.
This beauty is what he covets.
It's just that he doesn't want to snatch the reward of his only son. If Lian Jin wins, he can still be strong enough to make Lian Jin do this. But if Bai Gui wins, he won't interfere too much either emotionally or rationally.
To be honest, at his current status, there is no shortage of women.
"Any woman?"
Bai Gui raised his eyebrows and asked King Zhao.
He went down to save Lian Jin and competed with Xiang Shaolong at the same time, which was also his intention.
Zhao Mu, the Julu Hou, seems to be extremely powerful, but in fact he is in great danger. If he wants to fight for the throne and unlock the secret of He's Bi, he must start from somewhere else.
Since ancient times, marriage has been one of the easiest ways to increase strength.
King Zhao let out a light sigh. The words had already been spoken and he didn't want to lose face. He nodded and said: "As long as she is an unmarried noble girl, she is welcome."
"Is it okay, princess?"
Bai Gui asked back.
If you want to get married, the benefits must be maximized. Ordinary women cannot increase the strength of the Julu House. Only the princess of King Zhao can.
When Zhao Mu, the Julu Hou, saw this, his eyes lit up.
He slapped his thigh and secretly wondered why he hadn't thought of this. Wu Tingfang was nothing, King Zhao's daughter was the most valuable. With the princess, the power of the Hou Mansion would surely rise to a higher level in the future.
"You have no joke.
King Zhao frowned and gritted his teeth and said,
If the Zhao Li in the past was just a playboy, he would not give up the princess, but now Zhao Li, who defeated Xiang Shaolong with one sword, is obviously the outstanding talent of the Zhao country, and promised a princess, even though he was a little reluctant to part with it, he still couldn't bear it.
I won't regret it too much.
Secondly, since he has already said his word, it is hard to refuse.
Of course, if either Lian Jin or Xiang Shaolong wins and is so bold, he will definitely not let them have an easy time.
"Princess Qian is the one whom Li admires deeply, and I hope your Majesty will make her come true.
What Bai Gui was thinking about was the Tian family's act on behalf of Qi. Since he married the princess, he must marry the princess. Among the princesses, only Zhao Qian was of the right age, otherwise she would not have been allowed to marry the Wei Kingdom and become the crown prince of the Wei Kingdom.
The concubine is here.
"Qian'er?'
King Zhao hesitated, "Can you choose another person, Qing'er... I want to betroth him to the prince of Wei."
When a prince marries a daughter, it is naturally impossible for the princes to marry a concubine. She must be a legitimate princess. If Zhao Qian is betrothed to Bai Gui, it will be difficult for the Wei State to deal with it.
Bai Gui glanced at Zhao Mu, and then stepped forward to argue: "Why does the king want to marry the Wei State? Why? It's just that the Wei State still has the power to interfere in the war between Zhao and Yan. But... please
Your Majesty, let’s take a look at the two countries of Qin and Chu today. Qin and Chu have been married for generations. Lord Wu’an started the battle at Yanling and dug up the tomb of King Chu, but he never showed any mercy...
"How can the affairs of a country be determined by the wives of princes?'
"Please ask me, the king, to think twice.'
His words are organized and sonorous.
After the words fell, all the civil and military officials present couldn't help but nodded and agreed with these words.
If the marriage was effective, Qin and Chu would not become feuding people.
"Your Majesty, what Li'er said may have some shortcomings, but it is still a way of seeking the country." Zhao Mu was surprised, when did his son become so insightful, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought that Bai Gui had enlightened. Now
Bai Gui wants to marry the princess, so how can his father hold him back?
In the past, he wanted King Zhao to agree to betroth the princess to Zhao Li, but Zhao Li was mediocre and incompetent, so he was rejected by King Zhao. Now that Bai Gui has shown such ability, King Zhao may not necessarily disagree with this matter.
"Qian'er, what do you think?'
King Zhao hesitated and asked Zhao Qian what she meant.
It's not that he doesn't know what Bai Gui means. In fact, he understands it too. It's just that a legitimate princess is insignificant compared to the safety of a country. Besides, sending a legitimate princess to a foreign country is also a prince's wife.
I won't suffer any grievances, and there is nothing I can't do.
But now that Bai Gui is asking for marriage, what he said is reasonable, and he can't break his promise. He can only leave the choice to Zhao Qian. If Zhao Qian doesn't agree, he will find excuses to shirk it.
"My son is willing
Zhao Qian took a look at Bai Gui, who was so elegant and elegant, and she felt a little admiration in her heart. Zhao Li and Julu Hou Zhao Mu are all talented people. With such talents, how could they not let the girl do it?
Enthusiastic.
In addition, she was unwilling to marry in another country. Compared with other gentlemen, Zhao Li stood out as a good husband.
"That's all, that's all, I am old and it's hard to interfere with the young people's affairs, so I decided to let it go.'
King Zhao shook his head and sighed.
But after he finished speaking, he asked again: "Zhao Li, you said that the Wei State would not change its national policy because Zhao State marries a princess. So when Zhao State is attacking Yan, how can we prevent Wei State from invading our Zhao State's border?
"
Marriage is the next best thing.
So..., what's a better strategy?
This is what King Zhao and the ministers want to know. Everyone looked at Bai Gui to see what the son of Juluhou could say.
Bai Gui smiled upon hearing this. With his knowledge, it was not difficult to come up with a suitable method. "Have your Majesty ever heard of Su Qin and Gongsun Yan's art of combining vertical and horizontal lines, and Fan Ju's art of distant friendship and close attack?'
"This type of diplomacy is nothing more than striking a balance, using our strength to attack the other's weakness.'
