Next came the riding and shooting performances, both of which were wonderful and pleasing to the eye. It was evident that Zhao Ba had put a lot of effort into training his sons.
Xiang Shao secretly lamented that it was a pity. If Zhao had not produced a foolish king like Xiaocheng, he would have been able to do a lot.
Ji Yanran leaned close to his ear and said cordially: "I can no longer care about you. I will stick with you from now on."
Xiang Shaolong was startled and said: "Is it too fast? Look at that Lord Long Yang is staring at us."
Ji Yanran said with a smile: "He is not suspicious of us, but jealous of Yanran. Everyone knows that the guy who is neither male nor female loves rough men like Mr. Dong the most. If you say more swear words to him, he will be excited."
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Let Dong pursue you for two or three days longer, otherwise you will be taken care of by men in just two or three days. This will really damage the reputation of a talented and beautiful woman."
Ji Yanran said angrily: "You can do whatever you say, but I want you to stay with me every night."
Xiang Shaolong said happily: "Dong is just asking for it."
The drums beat suddenly and non-stop, and the warriors in the hotel returned to the mats opposite the stand and sat down. Only Zhao Ba stood in the center.
Everyone stopped talking and looked at the owner of the Samurai Lodge.
The sound of drums suddenly stopped.
Zhao Ba raised his voice and said: "It is a great honor for our museum to invite Mr. Li Yuan, a world-famous swordsman master, to come and teach the masters today. I hope Mr. Li Yuan will not hesitate to teach you."
Guo Zong chuckled and added: "This time is all about discussion, please stop here. I don't want to see the shocking scene of broken bones and broken flesh."
He had the deepest friendship with Zhao Ba, so he naturally saw that Zhao Ba was really angry at Li Yuan's arrogance, so he relied on his status to give advice to everyone on both sides.
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Guo. I'm just playing in a game mood. Besides, there are four beauties here. Don't worry, Mr. Guo."
When he said this, everyone in the hotel looked angry. You must know that martial arts was very popular in this era, and everyone regarded martial arts and sword fighting as a sacred event of great reputation. However, he said that it was just a game and did not treat each other as a game.
The opponent sees it.
Zhao Mu put his head over to inquire about Ji Yanran's thoughts and said, "Does Miss Ji think Mr. Li Yuan's words are too much?"
Han Chuang on the other side groaned: "Mr. Li is too crazy."
Ji Yanran smiled and said, "But he does have extraordinary abilities, and it's not just about talking nonsense."
The two of them didn't expect that she would still help Li Yuan speak after openly showing her kindness to the horse idiot, and they were speechless for a moment.
However, Xiang Shaolong thought that Ji Yanran was independent-minded and would not change his opinion for anyone, so unless he could outsmart Li Yuan with his sword and spear, he, Xiang Shaolong, would never be as good as Li Yuan in her heart.
For this reason, this beautiful woman who has strict demands on her husband will eventually become a regret.
While he was thinking about it, the first teacher of the hotel had already stepped out, bowed his hands to Li Yuan and said, "Little man Dai Feng, please give me some advice from Mr. Li."
Li Yuan looked Dai Feng up and down, and said calmly: "Dongluzi, come down and play with brother Dai Feng."
The crowd roared, but Li Yuan only sent his men to challenge him, indicating that Dai Feng was not qualified to challenge him yet.
Everyone in the hotel, from Zhao Ba on down, looked angry.
Zhao Mu whispered beside Xiang Shaolong: "Oops, if Dai Fengruo loses, Zhao Ba may lose his temper and challenge Li Yuan himself."
Ji Yanran said next to Xiang Shaolong's ear: "Dong Luzi and Lou Wuxin are the most famous swordsmen under Li Yuan, and they are very famous in Chu State."
Le Cheng, who was behind, came up and said, "I have also heard of this Dongluzi. It is said that he was born in the Chu Mo guild. He traveled around the country, looking for teachers and friends, and I didn't expect that he became a member of Li Yuan."
At this time, a man in his twenties who was as tall and thin as iron, with a pale face and no beard, came down from the seats in Li Yuan, came to Dai Feng, and said gently and politely: "Brother Dai, please give me advice."
After Dai Feng saluted, Zi Youzi brought wooden swords and put on armor for the two of them, protecting the vital points of the head, face, chest, ribs, and lower body, so as to prevent the ruthless sword from causing harm to the body. However, this can only be done with mercy.
It works under certain circumstances. For sword masters, even a wooden sword can still have great lethality, and even armor can't stop it.
The two swords struck each other in the air first, testing the strength of each other's arms, then stepped back and assumed a stance.
The drums suddenly sounded and then stopped.
Everyone held their breath and watched intently.
Dai Feng took a fighting step, tentatively moving towards his opponent, and waved the wooden sword powerfully, quite powerfully.
On the contrary, Dong Luzi stood with his sword in hand, motionless as a mountain, just looking at Dai Feng coldly.
Dai Feng took two steps back, suddenly let out a loud shout, and rushed forward with lightning, the sword blade flicked into the air, and he quickly smashed it, making a whistling sound that broke through the air, which was unstoppable.
Han Chuang and others all cheered and cheered for him, and the people at the Samurai Hall even cheered loudly. On the contrary, everyone on Li Yuan's side had sneers on their faces, looking confident.
At this time, Zhao Zhi, who was sitting on the other side of Li Yuan, couldn't help but regret it. She was attracted by Li Yuan's eloquent conversation, and more importantly, she was attracted by Li Yuan's rich conversation, but more importantly, she was from the hotel after all.
People naturally don't want their own side to lose, but they sit next to Li Yuan and feel embarrassed to shout for support. This is extremely contradictory.
Li Yuan obviously understood what she was thinking. While everyone's eyes were on the field, he quietly reached out, held the catkins she placed on her lap, and whispered softly next to her ear: "For the sake of the lady, Li Yuan
I will never harm anyone in your establishment.”
Zhao Zhijiao's body trembled, her mind was blurred, and she allowed him to take hold of her delicate hands.
Zhao Ya noticed the strange situation between the two of them, walked over and said slightly: "Mr. Li, you are so thoughtful."
Li Yuan leaned against the red and green trees, feeling happy in her heart. She smiled and said, "Don't you love Li Yuan's suave style?"
Zhao Ya rolled her eyes at him, sat up straight, her heart filled with Dong Kuang's unparalleled heroic spirit, and couldn't help but sigh. She secretly wondered why she didn't take it seriously when she saw Li Yuan fooling around with other beauties.
Just seeing Ji Yanran sitting next to Dong Kuang made her feel uncomfortable?
With a sound of "Du", Dongluzi's horizontal sword was resolved, and at the same time he stepped sideways to avoid Dai Feng's second sword.
Zhao Mu, Han Chuang, Le Cheng, etc. are all great swordsmen. At a glance, you can tell that this Dongluzi is not only as strong as Dai Feng, but also very clever in strategy. He deliberately does not fight head-on, so as to defeat Dai Feng.
Vigor.
Sure enough, Dongluzi went on the defensive and kept moving under the opponent's continuous attacks. On the surface, Dai Feng seemed to have the upper hand, but in fact, Dongluzi had no danger and was just waiting for a good opportunity to counterattack.
There were shouts of encouragement from all over the place, cheering for Dai Feng.
Zhao Zhi suddenly woke up and wanted to pull his jade hand away, but Li Yuan held on tightly, with the back of his palm still attached to her thigh, his lips touching her ear and saying, "Does Miss Zhi hate Li?"
Zhao Zhisheng felt guilty for betraying Xiang Shaolong and Dong Kuang, lowered his pretty face and said, "Will others see it?"
Li Yuan said proudly: "As a real man, there is no need to worry about other people's gossip. As long as the lady doesn't dislike Li Yuan, Li can take on anything."
This man was good at rhetoric and knew how to please women. Even Ji Yanran almost fell in love with him. Zhao Zhi had little experience in men and women and was angry at Dong Kuang's ruthlessness. For a moment, his heart was in confusion and he allowed him to be frivolous.
Li Yuan also knew that this was a public occasion and should not be overdone. He secretly thought that he would take her back to the hotel later so he could enjoy the meal. Therefore, he did not make any further frivolous remarks.
Guo Xiuer, who was next to Zhao Zhi, had been paying attention to Li Yuan. When she saw him flirting with Zhao Zhi, her pretty face changed color and she was unhappy in her heart.
The guarding between men and women during the Warring States Period was far from the strictness promoted by Confucianism after the Han Dynasty, but it was not etiquette for men and women to have sex in public, and Guo Xiuer couldn't help but have a lower impression of Li Yuan.
At this moment, Xiang Shaolong's heart moved and he looked towards Li Yuan. It happened that Li Yuan also looked towards him. Even though he was more than ten seats away, Xiang Shaolong could still clearly see Li Yuan holding Zhao Zhi's catkins and couldn't help but
His eyes flashed sharply, and he was furious.
Li Yuan was very proud when he saw this, smiled and nodded.
Zhao Zhi followed Li Yuan's gaze and came into contact with Xiang Shaolong's eyes. He suddenly thought of Xiang Shaolong and his heart trembled. He jerked his hand and escaped from Li Yuan's clutches.
Of course, Li Yuan didn't know about the complicated emotional relationship between him and Xiang Shaolong. He thought she was just embarrassed, so he stroked her plump thighs twice with his backhand, then sat up, ignored Xiang Shaolong, and continued to watch the battle.
Xiang Shaolong's face was livid, and he turned his attention to the battle situation on the field. Anger welled up in his heart, and he had the intention of challenging Li Yuan for the second time.
Ji Yanran saw everything in her eyes and whispered: "Don't act out of anger. If you hurt Li Yuan, it will be a small loss but a big loss."
These few words were like adding fuel to the fire. Xiang Shaolong barely suppressed his anger. After being silent for a while, he said to Zhao Mu: "Can you send someone to summon one of my generals?"
Zhao Mu understood it as soon as he heard it. After asking Qing who it was that he was summoning, he ordered someone to go.
At this time, Dai Feng fired at least more than forty swords, but he still couldn't do anything to Dongluzi, and even the cheers for encouragement gradually weakened.
Knowing that the opportunity had come, Dongluzi smiled up to the sky, switched from defense to attack, held up his wooden sword and rushed into the opponent's sword circle, using delicate and exquisite swordsmanship, breaking every move at once, and the sword circle was very small.
The rough and heroic route that Dai Feng took and the sword technique of opening and closing the sword were even more powerful.
Zhao Mu and others certainly sighed, and even Zhao Ba, who had absolute confidence in Dai Feng, couldn't help but frown.
Zhao Zhi, who was sitting next to Li Yuan, saw that his side was in danger and sobered up completely. He secretly blamed himself for being so indifferent to the enemy and taking advantage of Li Yuan. He was really ashamed of his master. But leaving at this time was too obvious.
A moment of dilemma.
The two men fought fiercely for a few more moves on the field, but Dai Feng lost his previous majesty and retreated in defeat.
Dong Luzi shouted loudly, his sword flashed, he spotted the opponent's flaw, broke through the opponent's sword net, and struck Dai Feng's chest.
Dai Feng was so shocked that he couldn't return his sword in time and leaned back suddenly, barely avoiding the sharp sword.
Who knows that Dong Luzi won't let anyone take advantage of him, so he flew up with a kick and put it under the opponent's lower abdomen. If it weren't for his armor, this kick would definitely teach Dai Feng that he couldn't be a man, but it also made him feel better. The pain made him scream.
, the long sword fell from his hand, he stumbled to the ground, and pressed his hands on the vital parts.
No one expected that Dong Luzi, who seemed so gentle and delicate, could be so ruthless when he had the upper hand. They were all stunned. For a moment, the whole place was so quiet that the sound of a needle drop could be heard, except for Dai Feng's moans.
Zhao Ba's expression changed and he stood up and shouted to the left and right: "Why don't you help the teacher in to see and treat the injury?"
At that moment, someone rushed out to help Dai Feng away.
Dongluzi, without any trace of shame, proudly saluted both parties, handed over his wooden sword, and went back to the banquet.
Zhao Zhi had always been friendly with Dai Feng, so he no longer cared about Li Yuan. After giving him a fierce look, he chased after Dai Feng who was being helped away.
Li Yuan didn't take Zhao Zhi to heart at all, and said with a smile: "In a martial arts competition, casualties are inevitable. If the owner is afraid of another accident, why don't we just give up. I will be my little host tonight. How about I apologize?"
This time, even Ji Yanran couldn't stand it and cursed: "Li Yuan, you are too crazy."
Zhao Ba's giant copper bell-like eyes were gleaming fiercely, showing that he was really angry. Xiang Shaolong was really afraid that he might be in danger himself, so he pushed Han Chuang.
Han Chuang understood and made a gesture to his men behind who were preparing to fight.
The swordsman named Fu Jianyin jumped off the stage and shouted loudly: "Fu Jianyin, please give me some advice from Mr. Li Yuan."
The entire audience was silent, waiting to see if Li Yuan would take action personally.
Fu Jianyin is not tall, but he is strong and solid. He has several criss-cross sword scars on his face, which looks a bit scary, but it is also the ironclad proof that he has experienced hundreds of battles.
Li Yuan pretended not to take the world seriously, lazily leaning half of his body on the small table beside him, and said casually: "If you don't care, just go and learn from Gao Ming."
Everyone had already predicted that he would not take action, so they were not surprised.
The tough and strong man named Lou Wuxin walked down the stage slowly, saluted slightly, and then stood proudly. After taking the wooden sword, he waved away the man who wanted to put on the armor and said: "It's not like going to the battlefield.
What is this stupid thing doing?
Fu Jianyin saw this and shouted: "Brother Lou doesn't wear armor, so Fu Mou is exempted."
At this time, Long Yangjun came to the back of Xiang Shaolong and Ji Yanran, and said in a low voice: "Are there people crazier than the Chu people in the world? I have never seen them so arrogant against the Qin people. Yanran
Will my sister end up?"
Ji Yanran sighed: "Yanran is also very unconvinced. She just thinks that she can't beat Li Yuan. There is nothing she can do."
Longyang Junling snorted, said nothing, and returned to his seat. He thought to himself that his swordsmanship was similar to Ji Yanran's, and if this beauty was not as good as Li Yuan, it would be difficult for him to please him. At the same time, he made up his mind not to let the chosen Jiao Xu go into battle.
So as not to invite defeat and humiliation.
Zhao Mu sighed and said to Guo Kai and Le Cheng behind him: "If Fu Jianyin is defeated, we can only rely on Luo Xiang to save our face. Otherwise, we will have to let the owner of the museum take action, but I really don't want to see that situation."
Appear."
Guo Kaidao: "Li Yuan is the best swordsman in Chu State. Those below are already so powerful, so one can imagine his swordsmanship."
Everyone felt helpless for a moment.
Although Zhao Mu is a first-class swordsman, his status is not suitable because it can easily lead to discord between the two countries.
Fortunately, Li Yuan does not have a palace official, otherwise he would not be able to fight with others casually without the king's order.
The two people on the field shouted loudly at the same time and attacked each other violently. They saw Lou Wuxin moving his sword like the wind, opening and closing it wide and wide. The sword energy was like a mountain, so fierce and powerful that almost as soon as the handover was made, Fu Jianyin was trapped.
In a situation of being beaten.
At this moment, Xiang Shaolong caught a glimpse of Teng Yi riding a horse to the entrance, reached out and pushed Han Chuang and said: "Quickly end this competition."
Han Chuang's face was troubled because Fu Jianyin was pretending to be someone from Zhao. If he said so, wouldn't it be clear that Fu Jianyin was his.
People on both sides were watching the battle calmly, without raising their voices to encourage them as before, and the atmosphere was as tense as a full string.
Just at Han Chuang's hesitation, the outcome was decided.
Fu Jianyin was defeated and couldn't hold on anymore. After a slight delay, Lou Wuxin swiped his sword on his shoulder. There was a sound of bones breaking. With a miserable groan, Fu Jianyin fell away. When he got up, his face was dripping with pain. Linghan.
Lou Wuxin laughed and said, "I accept the concession."
Xiang Shaolong gestured to Teng Yi, who was coming down from his horse. The latter understood and shouted from a distance: "Long Shan, the little man, is a general of Dong Kuang's family. This dear friend is very familiar to me. I wonder if he is willing to teach me."
At this time, no one had time to pay attention to how Fu Jianyin was being helped away, nor did they notice that Zhao Zhi returned to the venue, sat down at the table next to his fellow disciples, and looked at the uninvited man.
Lou Wuxin looked at Teng Yi disdainfully, and said calmly: If you want to do something, you must use a real sword to show your true skills." Teng Yi laughed and said: "Why not, but Mr. Li had better send another one first. It’s only fair that I fight with you after I have exhausted some energy.”
Zhao Mu sighed: "Are your generals idiots, who don't know how to check even if they have an advantage?"
Ji Yanran smiled and said: "As he has his master, he has his servant. This is the true hero."
Zhao Mu couldn't help but smile awkwardly, secretly blaming himself for showing that he was not a hero.
Li Yuan was also afraid that Lou Wuxin had not regained his temper, so when he saw that Xiang Shaolong didn't make any reaction, he said happily: "He is indeed a good man." With a gesture, another big man with a bronze face behind him took the order and went to fight.
Xiang Shaolong asked Ji Yanran, "Who is this person?"
Amid everyone's expectations, Ji Yanran shook her head blankly.
The man came to Teng Yi and said calmly: "I don't like using fake swords either, what do you think?" Teng Yi said calmly: "Brother, what is your surname?"
The man was so calm that he said: "I am just a nobody."
Everyone was moved when they heard this.
Of course Xiang Shaolong didn't know who he was, so he turned his questioning eyes to Ji Yanran for advice.
Ji Yanran said solemnly: "He was originally a famous swordsman from the Qin State. Because he killed someone to protect the Chu State, he unexpectedly joined Li Yuan's family. This shows how powerful Li Yuan's power in the Chu State has grown. No wonder he is so arrogant." Crazy.”
Han Chuang and others became worried about Teng Yi again.
"Qiang"
Yan Fu drew out the shining sword, took two steps back, pointed at Teng Yi and shouted, "You still don't want to draw your sword?"
Teng Yimu was expressionless, a pair of giant eyes shot out a cold light, and said slowly: "The sword will be unsheathed by itself when the time comes."
Yanfu was furious, shouted wildly, and attacked with his sword.
For a moment, the cold light was strong and dazzling.
No one could have imagined that a sparring contest among powerful men would turn into a life-or-death duel with real swords and guns.
