After He Yuanjun and Li Chouxin walked out of the main hall, they walked on the straight road. After passing the straight road, they could clear the imperial city.
"Brother Chou Xin, I'm really glad and congratulations. It seems that I was right about the old man." He Yuanjun said to Li Chou Xin.
Li Chouxin also smiled and replied: "Thanks to Brother He for recommending all this. Without Brother He, there would be no Chouxin today."
"It's nothing. I'm just doing it as a favor. A person like Brother Chouxin can naturally stand out even if he's not old. After all, it's gold, and it can shine wherever it goes."
Hearing He Yuanjun's compliments, Li Chouxin said: "Brother He, I think you and I should stop complimenting each other. If we continue to do this, the ministers next to us will not be happy. Let's leave quickly. Chouxin is still waiting. I'm going to drink at Brother He's house."
He Yuanjun looked at the ministers beside him, and indeed everyone cast displeased looks at him and Li Chouxin, so he said: "Don't pay attention to them, these people are like this, they are stubborn and stubborn, and they are not good people. But what Brother Chouxin said is right, so let’s leave quickly.”
Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats on the long straight road. The sound was only heard by one horse, and there were also the sounds of some armors clashing and the sound of neat running steps. The sounds were getting closer and closer, and seemed to be heading towards Li Chouxin and others.
Everyone looked back behind them, and saw a man wearing a black gold tiger guard, riding on a horse, a bright helmet with black feathers on his head, and holding a long spear in his hand, heading towards the crowd. Behind him were the palace guards. Look. In this case, the identity of the visitor should not be simple.
Seeing this, everyone dispersed and lined up on both sides, discussing among themselves.
"What is the commander of the Forbidden Army doing here?"
"This General Gao is really brave. I think there is no one else who can ride a horse in this imperial city."
"Look, General Gao seems to have come with bad intentions!"
While everyone was discussing, the men on horseback and the imperial guards had already arrived in front of them.
"Are you Li Chouxin? Are you always here before the emperor?"
The man on the horse looked arrogant and asked Li Chouxin with disdain.
Before Li Chouxin could answer, He Yuanjun said: "General Gao Yu suddenly came here, what do you want to say?"
Seeing He Yuanjun's reply, the man whom He Yuanjun called General Gao Yu said, "Mr. He is here, how dare Gao to see me? It's just that I heard that the most wanted criminal in the imperial court suddenly became a permanent presence in the imperial court. I was curious and came to have a look." That’s all.”
Seeing Gao Yu say this, the ministers who were watching the excitement naturally knew it well. Gao Yu said he came to see Li Chouxin's style, but in fact he came to cause trouble, because Gao Yu also had a surname of Gao and was inextricably linked to Gao Bishan. The relationship is self-evident.
He Yuanjun also turned to Li Chouxin and said: "This Gao Yu is the commander of the imperial army. Since his surname is Gao, Brother Chouxin must have guessed something. This commander Gao is Gao Bishan's nephew. He is what he is today because of Gao Bishan's favor. status, don’t underestimate him because of nepotism. The spear in Gao Yu’s hand is really capable. However, since the political disagreement with Gao Bishan, there has been less contact, but as the saying goes, the broken bones are still connected. , since you, Pei Chen and others killed Gao Bishan, I think Gao Yu will come to cause some trouble."
Li Chouxin smiled at He Yuanjun and said, "If I, Li Chouxin, am that timid and fearful person, I believe that Brother He will also be intolerable to me. Don't worry, Chouxin can handle it on my own."
Li Chouxin then said to Gao Yu: "It's really hard for General Gao to bother General Gao to make a special trip. General Chouxin doesn't have to worry about such a small person like Chouxin. If General is fine, Chouxin will leave now."
Li Chouxin thought that she was also the permanent one who had just been canonized by the emperor. Although she had no real power, she was still personally conferred by the emperor. Even if she thought about it, Gao Yu would not dare to embarrass herself in the imperial city.
But Gao Yu didn't seem to care, and said to Li Chouxin: "I have already heard that Li Chang is talented in literature, but I also heard that Li Chang is also very good in swordsmanship. I wonder if I, Gao, can also let me Does anyone know anything about it?”
Others were surprised when they heard this.
"Does Commander Gao want to make things difficult for Li Chou within this palace wall? Isn't this too presumptuous?"
"What's the point? Back then, when Gao Bishan wasn't dead, it wasn't a big deal for Gao Yu to kill someone in the imperial city. Besides, at this time, he probably just wanted to teach Li Chou a lesson, and no one would be killed."
But Li Chouxin said: "Chouxin is just a rudimentary skill, and I don't dare to do anything in front of Commander Gao. I'll just take a look at it, so let's leave it at that. Commander Gao has heavy official duties, and Chouxin doesn't dare to delay."
"Li Chouxin, don't do this. Don't think that His Majesty will give up just after personally appointing you as Commander-in-Chief. You must know that the defense within the palace wall is all decided by me. Don't even think about refusing today. Besides, you deserve to be punished." It's only because of the emperor's favor that you can be exempted from the responsibility of committing murder in the street. Don't be shameless." Gao Yu said impatiently.
Li Chouxin looked at Gao Yu's appearance and understood Gao Yu's temperament. It seemed that he couldn't hide from what happened today, so he asked, "In that case, I wonder how Commander Gao wants to test Chouxin?"
Gao Yu didn't hide it, and said: "Since we are comparing skills, let's compete with this commander. However, this competition will inevitably cause damage. If this is the case, please be patient with Li Changzai." After Gao Yu finished speaking, a wicked smile showed on his lips.
Li Chou knew very well that Gao Yu was not easy to fool, but if he allowed Gao Yu to bully him today, he would definitely not be able to survive in Kyoto in the future, so he had no choice but to agree.
Gao Yu secretly rejoiced in his heart, thinking that he must make Li Chou remember this today. After all, this Kyoto was not a land of rivers and lakes, and it was absolutely impossible to do as he pleased.
Gao Yu then dismounted his horse, holding a spear and getting ready.
A minister on the side said at this time: "The spear in Commander Gao's hand is called Shuofeng. His Shuofeng spear technique is considered top-notch even among the strongest men in the world. Before Commander Gao entered the palace, he was famous in the world, and now he has to use it." This gun is used to deal with Li Chou Xin. It seems that Li Chou Xin will never get a good deal and will probably have to lie down and leave the imperial city."
Li Chouxin also listened to these words, and Gao Yu was even more proud after hearing this.
He Yuanjun was also nervous at this time, worried that Li Chouxin would suffer a loss in the imperial city. He tried to stop it but it was ineffective. A bad old man was powerless.
Li Chouxin looked at Gao Yu with a fierce look on his face, but he was calm and said, "Then please show mercy to Commander Gao."
Gao Yu thought that he must make Li Chouxin pay the price. Even if he could not take his life, he would either die or be maimed and leave a breath. So he said: "That is natural. I also ask Li Changzai to choose a weapon to avoid Others say that this commander is taking advantage of you."
Li Chouxin looked at Gao Yu and the Shuofeng gun in his hand, and could basically conclude that Gao Yu was also a rare master, but for him, he was still far from the best, so he looked at the corner next to him and saw the man cleaning on the side. The palace man came forward to grab a long broom in his hand, broke off a twig, and said to Gao Yu: "Commander Gao, the weapons in this palace are not used to it, so use this twig as a sword to compete with the commander!" "
Seeing this situation, Gao Yu's face turned red and he was furious, and said: "Li Changzai seems to think too little of Gao. In this case, don't blame Gao for being careless later."
Li Chou was not afraid at all, but he did not show any aura of victory. He stood opposite Gao Yu with a twig in hand and said, "Please give me some advice, Commander Gao."
After Li Chouxin finished speaking, Gao Yu came forward with the Shuofeng Spear. Every move carried ten or twenty years of skill. The spear technique was exquisite. The strong wind was rising between each thrust, and the power was overwhelming.
Li Chouxin just dodged and did not make any moves. The onlookers were amazed and worried about Li Chouxin.
"Commander Gao's marksmanship is indeed exquisite. This power is so powerful that it is difficult for Li Chou to resist. He doesn't even have a chance to take action."
"That's right. Look at Li Chouxin only dodging and not being able to take the next move."
He Yuanjun was sweating profusely when he saw this, and was worried about Li Chou.
However, although Li Chouxin dodged, he dealt with it calmly. Li Chouxin seemed to be able to predict in advance where Gao Yu's spear would hit, and dodged safely. Except for the people on the field, they couldn't see why, but Gao Yu, who was attacking with a spear, He knew in his heart that Li Chou was just checking his strength, and he hadn't really exerted his strength yet.
But it was too late to stop now, it would only make others laugh, so I could only bite the bullet now, but I really underestimated Li Chouxin.
Gao Yu had no choice but to resort to a move called "Dragon". He saw a long spear coming out, like a dragon. The momentum around him suddenly surged with amazing power. People watching the battle couldn't open their eyes. After feeling the momentum, they all thought that Li Chouxin was going to do it. Disaster.
Seeing this, Li Chouxin remembered the Yunxu sword technique that he had learned in his early years. Ever since he learned the sword moves of Chang Geng Sword Immortal, this Yunxu sword technique had been forgotten by him. To say that this Yunxu sword technique was also The extremely sharp and exquisite sword moves were so inappropriate.
Li Chouxin began to draw his sword. The thin branch in his hand was like a long sword. The shadow of the sword suddenly appeared, and he actually blocked Gao Yu's attack. However, Li Chouxin also realized that although Yunxu's sword technique could resist Gao Yu, But it can only be equally divided.
In an instant, the two of them each took a few steps back, and it was considered a tie.
"What! He actually blocked it!"
The ministers next to him were stunned and in disbelief.
At this time, Li Chouxin put away the twigs and said: "Commander Gao, I think it's hard for you and me to tell the difference today, so let's just do it here."
Although Gao Yu already knew that Li Chou's heart was not simple, he still refused to let it go easily and said: "This is the time to rise. Since you and I are not determined, let's fight again."
Li Chouxin shook his head and said, "Commander Gao, let's stop here. If we continue, it may not be a good thing for you or me."
After saying that, Li Chouxin put down the twig in his hand, turned around and walked towards He Yuanjun.
At this time, the angry Gao Yu suddenly picked up his spear and flew towards Li Chouxin. This scene shocked everyone around him. This was not a competition, this was clearly to take Li Chouxin's life!
When He Yuanjun saw this, he quickly shouted: "Brother Qianxin, be careful behind you!"
How could Li Chouxin not know that according to Gao Yu's character, giving up now would not be Gao Yu's arrogance.
And what Li Chou is waiting for is this opportunity. Only when Gao Yu sneaks up on him can he take action to defeat the enemy. Even if Gao Yu is hurt at this time, he is bringing humiliation upon himself, and no one can blame him. .
Li Chouxin smiled at He Yuanjun, and He Yuanjun looked at him in a daze, not knowing why.
Seeing that the spear was about to stab Li Chouxin, Li Chouxin jumped up and pointed at the twigs on the ground.
The twig flew into Li Chouxin's hand as if it had become conscious. Li Chouxin jumped into the air, dodged Gao Yu's shot, and said to Gao Yu, "Why did Commander Gao do this sneak attack? In that case, Chouxin is offended." ”
Gao Yu didn't care what Li Chouxin said at this time and continued to move towards Li Chouxin with his gun.
Li Chouxin no longer hesitated and swung a move towards Gao Yu, who was running towards him. It was that sword that came from the sun. The powerful sword intent flashed brightly and fell from the sky, only heading towards Gao Yu. Gao Yu faced him with a gun. Use the tip of the spear to face the sword intent that is coming.
At the moment of contact, Gao Yu suddenly realized that he was so fragile under this sword intent. After the powerful collision, the spear broke, and the sword intent was not gone, and it went towards Gao Yu. With a scream, Gao Yu He was knocked back two to three feet and lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment, vomiting blood and unable to get up.
Seeing this, the imperial guards under Gao Yu didn't bother to help Gao Yu up, but instead attacked Li Chouxin.
Li Chouxin struck out with his sword again, but this sword did not hit the attacking imperial army, but hit the ground, blocking them.
The onlookers were horrified, what kind of terrifying power this was, it was simply horrifying. Looking at Gao Yu who fell to the ground, he still hadn't gotten up yet. Everyone's eyes widened, even He Yuanjun was amazed.
Seeing that Li Chouxin had not hurt him, the imperial guards continued to attack Li Chouxin.
"Stop! This is simply outrageous. There is no place for you to fight and fight privately within the palace walls."
Hearing the familiar voice, the Imperial Guards stopped their movements and looked behind them.
The person who came was none other than Eunuch Zheng, who was in front of the emperor. Seeing that it was Eunuch Zheng who was coming, the originally chaotic scene immediately calmed down and everyone looked towards Eunuch Zheng.
"Commander Gao, why are you so embarrassed?"
Eunuch Zheng stood next to Gao Yu, but at this time Gao Yu was still lying on the ground and could not get up. Seeing that it was Eunuch Zheng, it was still very difficult to get up despite all the effort, so he simply lay on the ground and said: "Eunuch Zheng, this is what happened. Li Chouxin, please Eunuch Zheng, please punish me severely."
But Eunuch Zheng said angrily: "Commander Gao, our family is not so comatose yet. We don't want to say more about the reason. Since you have been injured, just go home and recuperate for a few days. Your Majesty, our family will stay there for you." I will speak for you, so don’t embarrass yourself here.”
Hearing Eunuch Zheng's words, Gao Yu didn't say anything more, signaled the two Forbidden Army guards to come over and help him up, gave Li Chouxin a vicious look, and then left in embarrassment.
Eunuch Zheng walked up to Li Chouxin and said, "I didn't expect Li Changzai to be so capable. He could subdue even the commander of the imperial army with one move. He is indeed a talent from our dynasty!"
"Eunuch Zheng, I'm sorry. I was only worried about self-defense. I didn't want to hurt the commander, but I just couldn't contain myself because of my impatience. I ask Eunuch Zheng to take a closer look."
After Li Chouxin finished speaking, she looked at Eunuch Zheng.
At this time He Yuanjun also said: "Eunuch Zheng, what Brother Chou Xin said is true. It was indeed Commander Gao who made a sneak attack just now. It was Chou Xin who retaliated that hurt Commander Gao. All the adults present witnessed this with their own eyes."
However, no one spoke for Li Chouxin.
Eunuch Zheng smiled and said: "Li Changzai, there is no need to be alarmed. Our family is fully aware of this matter, and His Majesty is also aware of it. It was His Majesty who sent the old slave here just to stop this fight. Your Majesty will take care of the rest." Holy Judgment."
After listening to Eunuch Zheng's words, it was just as he thought. In any case, he was not to blame for this matter. If Gao Yu hadn't vowed to die, he wouldn't have ended up like this. So Li Chouxin said to Eunuch Zheng: "Eunuch Zheng, I have saved Chouxin. I will definitely keep this feeling in my heart."
When Eunuch Zheng heard what Li Chouxin said, he was very happy: "Very good, very good, but this matter is within our family's responsibility. Your Majesty, our family will help Li Changzai explain. Li Changzai's demeanor. I will naturally inform His Majesty."
Seeing Eunuch Zheng's attitude toward Li Chouxin, everyone changed their previous silence and told Eunuch Zheng what had just happened.
Eunuch Zheng looked displeased at the noise and said loudly: "Our family is naturally aware of the matter. Since there is nothing to do now, let's all leave!"
Under the authority of Eunuch Zheng, the ministers dispersed one after another, leaving only Li Chouxin, He Yuanjun and Eunuch Zheng.
Seeing that there was no one around, Eunuch Zheng said to Li Changxin: "Li Changzai is outstanding in both literary and martial arts. Your Majesty has always cherished talents. Li Changzai has a bright future!"
After listening to Eunuch Zheng's words, Li Chouxin walked up to Eunuch Zheng, secretly took out a hundred-tael silver note, put it in Eunuch Zheng's hand, and said, "Eunuch Zheng will remember this sentiment carefully, and he will rely on Eunuch Zheng from now on."
Eunuch Zheng quickly picked up the banknote, his face was full of joy, and he said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I just hope that Chang will be prosperous in the future, just remember to treat our family to a drink."
Li Chouxin replied: "That's natural. I will be very worried and grateful in the future. Your Majesty will have your father-in-law here."
Eunuch Zheng smiled and said nothing, nodded, very satisfied with Li Chou, and then said: "That's it for today. You two adults should leave the palace as soon as possible and go back and have a good rest. Our family will consider this matter."
So Li Chouxin and He Yuanjun said goodbye and left.
Along the way, He Yuanjun not only marveled at Li Chouxin's abilities, but also became curious about Li Chouxin's personality.
"I didn't expect that Brother Chou Xin, who has just entered the officialdom, would be able to get involved with someone like Eunuch Zheng. It's really extraordinary!"
Li Chouxin smiled at He Yuanjun and said, "Chouxin doesn't like to act like this either. It's just that the officialdom is dangerous, so it's good to have one more person to take care of him. Just let him go. It won't do any harm to you anyway."
"Brother Zhou Xin can see clearly that the old man is old after all, hahaha."
The two of them walked out of the palace while talking and laughing, and the conversation turned from officialdom to drinking later. They talked happily about what kind of wine they would drink later.
