Gao Lishi ran up the stairs with a long and short step: "Here are the prepared Liangpi!"
"Your Majesty, Prince Ning, the Liangpi is ready. Please use it slowly."
The maid next to the two took the initiative to step forward and carry the chessboard aside. Gao Lishi personally brought the plate and handed the chopsticks to the two.
"Come, Prince Ning, try this cold skin recipe offered by the people. How does it taste?"
Without hesitation, the emperor picked one up with a pair of chopsticks and put it into his mouth. His mouth immediately felt extremely smooth. The aroma of garlic and condiments made it even more delicious. However, the thing was too slippery and juice splashed when he sucked it into his mouth.
.
When King Ning saw the emperor eating like this, he also picked up one with chopsticks, put it into his mouth and chewed it. He nodded and said: "It is indeed the best taste in the world, especially in this summer, it tastes even more delicious and refreshing.
It makes you feel refreshed and relaxed.”
Li Longji put down his chopsticks, and Gao Lishi handed him a silk scarf and wiped his mouth.
"Yes, it suits my heart very well. Please call this strange folk person who makes cool skin."
"Here."
Gao Lishi stomped downstairs, and after a while he led Li Siye up the stairs. Li Siye took a deep breath, bowed and crossed his hands in salute: "Come on... I am here to see your majesty."
Li Longji glanced at Li Siye, with a slightly surprised expression on his face. In the emperor's mind, folk cooks and craftsmen either had dull faces or sharp mouths and monkey cheeks, and could not have such a square face. What he saw in front of him was that
Li Siye has the face of a military general, with clear edges and corners, and a tall and strong body, which is very suitable for serving as the halberd commander of the royal guard of honor. If he put on Mingguang armor, held a sharp sword in both hands and stood in front of the palace gate of Hanyuan Palace, he would be
A majestic warrior figurine.
The emperor stroked his long beard with satisfaction and nodded: "Both I and Prince Ning have eaten the Liangpi you made. It is very delicious. I would like to ask you why a dignified man of seven feet wants to hang out in the West Market and still make these things.
…”
He pointed at the empty plate and didn't know what to say. After all, he just ate something so delicious, so he couldn't just put down his chopsticks and say it was a cheap act.
Of course Li Siye understood what the emperor meant. He raised his head and crossed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am just hanging out in the West City as a temporary expedient. I have learned a little bit about boxing, kicking, and spear since I was a child. I just hope that one day I can use this body."
Use martial arts to serve the Tang Dynasty."
"Do you know how to use martial arts?" Li Longji said with great interest: "Show me your fists and kicks."
"Your Majesty, I am learning fighting skills, and you need an opponent to show your power."
"Okay, I'll choose an opponent for you."
The emperor waved to the guard standing at the door of the building: "Weining, come here."
The guard named Wei Ning was wearing a crimson crotch-less robe, with a gold-plated belt around his waist. He strode forward and crossed his arms at Li Longji: "Your Majesty."
Li Longji pointed at Wei Ning and said: "This is Wei Ning, my Qian Niu Guards general. If you can beat him in fists and kicks, I will give you a big reward."
Wei Ning turned his head and glanced at Li Siye, curling his lips to cover up his contempt.
He faced the emperor and crossed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it is not convenient to open the building inside the building. Can this brother and I compete outside."
"That's right!"
Li Longji was in high spirits and agreed to Weining's request with a wave of his hand.
Li Siye and Weining went downstairs one after another and came to the open space in front of Chengyun Building. To his surprise, the prince and the chief minister of the Nei Lv Mansion were also in front of the building, but they did not go in to see Li Longji. In addition, they also
There were three officials, I don't know if they were from the Prince's Mansion. Yang Hui arrived soon. He stood far away, deliberately not looking at Luo Changsheng who was kneeling on the ground in a very embarrassed state, which made it look like there was no silver in this place.
Li Siye deliberately ignored these people and only gave the prince a cross-hand salute from a distance. He walked to the center of the venue, pulled up the front of the robe that was missing his hips and tied it around his waist, and gave Wei Ning a warrior's fist hug opposite him.
present.
Wei Ning returned the salute and said with a smile: "Master Li, please show mercy."
What he was thinking about was to defeat Li Siye within five moves.
Li Siye clenched his fist, with his left fist in front in an offensive posture, his right fist behind in a defensive posture, and his legs slightly arched.
Wei Ning stood up straight with his arms folded across his chest, seemingly ready.
Li Longji and Prince Ning Li Xian also went down to the first floor and stood on the steps of the building to watch the competition between the two.
Li Siye suddenly charged forward, and Wei Ning kicked out in a defensive stance, but Li Siye suddenly stopped, causing his kick to miss the mark.
Li Siye took the initiative and struck with a straight fist. Wei Ning blocked it with his elbow and kicked out his knee. Fortunately, Li Siye was prepared and retreated half a body. However, Wei Ning also changed quickly, and quickly changed from a knee strike to
After kicking forward, Li Siye quickly took two steps back. Wei Ning caught up with him, either hitting him with fists or flying kicks. This fierce attack forced Li Siye to retreat continuously.
Although Li Siye retreated with ease, he admired this man in his heart. He was really overconfident just now, thinking that the highest level of warriors in the Tang Dynasty was Zha Qile.
Wei Ning opened and closed, giving Li Siye a chance to get close. He suddenly leaned forward with his shoulder and bumped into Weining's chest. The opponent raised his knee and hit hard. Li Siye suddenly retreated and hit a standard shot.
Although his right uppercut only hit Weining's cheek, it was enough to frighten him.
Wei Ning was calm on the surface, but he was furious in his heart, and his attacks became more fierce. Li Siye dodged left and right, caught the opportunity, stepped forward and punched, and then quickly retreated to a safe distance.
Li Longji stood on top and shook his head. Li Siye's style of play was indeed not good-looking and could not be used for personal performances, but in a single fight, he controlled the rhythm of the competition. As a young king of Linzi, he also liked the military very much.
We can also see some skills in fighting, and we can vaguely feel that Li Siye is about to defeat Wei Ning.
Wei Ning, who was anxious in his heart, finally calmed down his impetuous mood and understood that he could not defeat Li Siye in such a rush for success. He carefully analyzed the pros and cons of the two. Li Siye seemed to be better because of his flexible body, the ability to move forward and back quickly, and his quick eyesight and quick hands to make quick judgments.
To expose his flaw. To deal with such a person, he could only choose to attack at close range, using his knees and elbows combined with sumo wrestling techniques to restrain him.
For this reason, Wei Ning did not hesitate to resist Li Siye's punch with his chest, took the opportunity to wrap his arms around his shoulders, and kneed his chest. Li Siye kept holding his knees, and quickly made a fist with his other hand, using only a few inches
punches erupt from a distance.
Wei Ning's chest shook, and his eyes widened in surprise. He didn't understand why Li Siye's punch was so powerful at such a close distance. There was only one question in his mind at the moment, how did he practice it.
Li Siye punched three times in a row with an inch of strength, and escaped from Weining's control. He did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him, and Weining did not fight back. The arrogant Qian Niuwei took the initiative to turn around and cross his arms to report to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, the general has lost."
Li Longji stroked his beard and nodded with a smile: "Actually, I have seen it a long time ago. In terms of fists and kicks, you are indeed no match for Li Siye."
