Li Xian's two brothers, Li Hong and Li Xian, aroused Wu Zetian's suspicion because of the Wu family's slander behind their backs. Not only did Li Hong and Li Xian lose their positions as princes, they also lost their lives.
Li Xian was in no mood to chat with Princess Changping, so he hurriedly said goodbye and returned to the palace. Li Xian returned to his mansion with a frown on his face and a heavy heart.
Seeing this, Princess Wei quickly asked him what happened. Li Xian did not dare to hide it and told Princess Wei the matter. Princess Wei was shocked. Li Guoer was her and Li Xian's most beloved daughter. What's more, Li Guo'er is only fourteen years old now, how could Princess Wei be willing to marry her off to a foreigner?
Princess Wei blamed Li Xian for not objecting, but Li Xian said that Wu Zetian had agreed to Princess Changping's proposal, and it would not help even if she disagreed.
Princess Wei knew that Li Xian was cowardly and incompetent, so she had to find a way on her own. Suddenly she thought that Ximen Shan and others were highly skilled in martial arts, so she asked Li Xian to ask Ximen Shan and others for help. If people like Ximen Mountain are willing to take action, there should be no problem in defeating the Khitans.
When Li Xian heard this, he felt that Princess Wei's words were reasonable. With Ximen Shan's martial arts, he can naturally defeat Yelv Xingkong, so that his daughter will not have to marry far away. Li Xian quickly came to see Ximen Mountain with Princess Wei.
After everyone listened, the incident happened so suddenly that no one answered for a while. Seeing this, Princess Wei sighed deliberately and said, "If you are not willing to help, we have nothing to say. It is really a shame and a great shame to just let the Khitans laugh at the fact that there is no one in the Central Plains!"
Ximenshan and Feiyun naturally knew that Princess Wei was using a provoking method, but they still did not say anything. They really didn't like Li Guo'er and Princess Changping, so naturally they were unwilling to take action for them.
Xu Zhitang couldn't listen anymore and said immediately: "Princess, don't worry, I don't know how capable a Khitan boy is. We will go up and defeat him when the time comes."
Princess Wei was overjoyed, but pretended to be concerned and said: "Don't underestimate it. It is said that Yelu Xingkong and his two guards are both highly skilled in martial arts."
Now that Xu Zhitang expressed his stance, Xing'er continued: "Prince and Princess, don't worry. Even if we three brothers and sisters can't win, aren't there still Senior Ximen, Shaoxia Lin and other heroes? I don't believe that person can be invincible. Senior Ximen , Young Master Lin, what do you think?"
Ximen Shan was helpless. As one of the top five masters in the world, he could not show weakness when being questioned face to face, so he said: "Miss Xing'er, what you said makes sense. Let's go and see the situation tomorrow before making a decision. Anyway, You have ten days, don’t worry.”
Feiyun had no choice but to say: "Grandpa is right. There are many martial arts masters in the Central Plains. Maybe someone will defeat the Khitans in less than ten days? Grandpa, you don't need to worry about this matter. We juniors can just handle it."
Seeing Feiyun say this, Li Xian and Princess Wei had no choice but to express their gratitude to everyone. Seeing that it was almost midnight, they immediately asked everyone to rest early, and they returned to the backyard.
The next day Wu Zetian's imperial list was posted, causing a sensation in the capital. Two famous beauties in the capital were to marry a foreign barbarian at the same time. Naturally, the men who practiced martial arts in the capital were filled with indignation and were gearing up for a fight. Many people in the world are naturally excited when they see high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
When the day of the ring arrived, Princess Changping specially brought Li Guo'er to the ring. Li Xian did not dare to stop him, so he could only let Li Guo'er follow Princess Changping and leave the palace.
The two beauties stood side by side on the ring, and the audience immediately cheered. How could ordinary people see the true faces of the two beauties from the palace? But when they saw them now, they were indeed as beautiful as flowers, beautiful and fragrant, graceful and graceful, making everyone salivate.
Princess Changping naturally wanted to use their different peerless beauty to attract experts to compete. She knows very well that there are many masters in the capital, and it is inevitable that there will be people who want to be like a dragon or a phoenix, or people who are greedy for beauty.
Princess Changping said to the audience: "If someone can defeat Prince Yelu of Khitan, I will marry him. At the same time, I will be granted the title of a marquis and a general, and I will live a wealthy life."
Princess Changping obviously wanted to use this method to recruit a man with strong martial arts skills as her husband. When the people in the audience heard this, they burst into cheers. The princess immediately announced the start of the beating, and she and Li Guo'er sat aside to watch. Her two maids, who are as close as clouds and as gentle as rain, are standing behind her, and the other two maids, who are exquisite and clever, are standing behind Li Guo'er.
Yelv Xingkong came to the stage with two guards and said to the audience: "On the order of the Emperor Zhou, we will compete for ten days. But I have something to say first. This time, I just want to marry the princess as a good friend of the Qin and Jin Dynasties. I have no ill intentions. I hope that the Zhongyuan Wulin will succeed in this matter. However, if anyone really wants to compete with this prince, they must first defeat my two guards, Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhen."
Although Feiyun was not interested in this matter, Tianxiang, Liangchen and beautiful scenery were very interested. In addition, other people were making noises and pestering Feiyun, insisting that Feiyun take them out to see them.
What's more, Xu Zhitang has already agreed to Princess Wei, so he naturally wants to go to the ring to compete with Yelu Xingkong. Feiyun didn't want Xu Zhitang and the others to be dissatisfied with him, so he had no choice but to come to the ring with everyone.
After Yelv Xingkong finished speaking, he and Xiao Lei stepped aside and sat down, leaving Xiao Zhen alone on the stage, waiting for others to come up and challenge. After a while, a strong man jumped on the stage and fought with Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen's martial arts skills were quite extraordinary. In just a few moves, he severely injured the strong man with one palm strike. Because it was mentioned in the previous announcement that you can go into the ring with bare hands or weapons, and you are responsible for your life and death.
Xiao Zhen obviously wanted to establish his authority through battle, so he was ruthless, but it was hard for others to say anything. After that, four more people came up one after another. As a result, two people were slightly injured and two people were seriously injured and retreated.
This was Yelu Zhen's explanation. He was afraid of arousing the anger of the martial arts community in the Central Plains, so he only allowed Xiao Zhen to hurt people, but not his life. Otherwise, the gap between those people's martial arts and Xiao Zhen's was too great, and it would be difficult for them to survive. As a result, no one would dare to challenge him at will. The first day passed like this, and Feiyun and others quickly returned.
Feiyun and others returned to the palace, and Princess Wei had heard Li Guoer talk about the arena. She hurriedly came to ask Xu Zhitang why he didn't get into the ring. Xu Zhitang told her that he would observe it for a day or two first, so that she didn't have to worry, as he would get into the ring at the right time. Princess Wei did not dare to offend Xu Zhitang when she asked for help, so she had to leave in anger.
As soon as Princess Wei left, Liangchen suddenly said: "I think there is a lot to do about this matter."
Tianxiang said quickly: "Second sister, have you discovered anything special?"
Liangchen said seriously: "Normally, when the Khitans ask for marriage, Wu Zetian can agree if she wants to, or refuse directly if she doesn't want to. After all, the Zhou Dynasty is extremely powerful now, and not even a mere Khitan can compare to it. But why does he want to set up this arena? Isn't it unnecessary?" Besides, she also said that she would marry two peerless beauties together to Na Yelv Xingkong. I think Wu Zetian is deliberately irritating the martial arts community in the Central Plains and has ulterior motives!"
Feiyun naturally knew that Wu Zetian was thoughtful and resourceful, so he said: "Second sister's words make sense. We might as well act according to the situation and observe it for a few days before we speak!"
Early the next morning, Feiyun and others went straight to the ring. When we got to the ring, we saw that there were still huge crowds of people. Feiyun and others found an inconspicuous corner and stood to watch. Soon, I saw several people challenge each other, but they all lost.
Luo Sitang watched a few fights and said to Xu Zhitang: "Brother, I should be confident in dealing with these two people. But no one can force Yelv Xingkong out, which is a problem. How about I go up first and fight for you? Junior sister exploring the way?"
But Xu Zhitang shook his head and said: "Sitang, no need for now, it's only the second day. I guess many people have the same idea as us, waiting for others to explore the way. Let's just wait patiently, why worry." Luo Sidang didn't Say more.
Feiyun looked at the edge of the ring and saw that Princess Changping was still pulling Li Guoer over, and the two were sitting side by side. It seems that the princess intends to use their beauty to attract more martial arts people to challenge on stage.
Feiyun and others watched for three consecutive days, but still no master came on stage. Xia Feng and Wang Hai lost interest and refused to continue watching the competition. Even Liangchen was not interested.
Liangchen said to Feiyun: "Brother, we'd better practice at home. You go with Xu Shaoxia. When you come back, just give us a brief talk." Feiyun saw that they were already bored with the arena, so naturally promise.
On the fourth day, Feiyun, Tianxiang and Xu Zhitang continued to watch. Still no one defeated Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhen and forced Yelv Xingkong to take action.
Xing'er finally couldn't help it and said, "Brother, why don't I go up and force that Yelv Xingkong out."
Xu Zhitang was about to speak when he saw Chang Xian from Sihai Escort leap onto the ring. It turns out that Chang Xian has always coveted the beauty of Princess Changping and intended to get his hands on it.
But Princess Changping's eyes are so high, how could she pay attention to the young master of a mere escort agency? What's more, when Princess Changping knew that Chang Xian's martial arts was mediocre, she naturally looked down upon him very much.
The two met several times at Wu Sansi's palace. Although Chang Xian tried his best to behave, Princess Changping thought Chang Xian was trying to flatter her, so she was even more disgusted with him and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
When Feiyun saw it, he quickly said: "Miss Xing'er, the recruiter is here, please take a look at it with peace of mind before talking."
When Myolie saw that it was Chang Xian, she remembered that in Danjiang Town that day, Chang Xian seemed to have low martial arts skills.
Xing'er then said: "This Chang Xian's martial arts is mediocre, he shouldn't be able to force Yelv Xingkong out."
As soon as Chang Xian entered the ring, the audience burst into cheers. After all, Chang Xian is the son of Chang Xian, the famous Sihai Escort Bureau in Beijing, and many people know him. Of course, many people cheered, all for Chang Qing’s sake. Chang Qing's martial arts is considered to be among the best in the capital.
When Xiao Lei saw Chang Xian coming up, he said, "I didn't expect that the dignified young escort leader would also be interested in such a thing!"
Chang Xian said coldly: "You misunderstood, I just don't want Princess Changping to marry a barbarian country, and I can't stand your arrogant attitude!"
Xiao Lei said angrily: "We Khitan people are no better than you Nanbarbarians."
Chang Xian showed his disdain and said: "Your place is a foreign land, how can it compare with the prosperity of our Central Plains."
Xiao Lei suddenly became furious and shouted: "No need to show off your words, please take action."
Chang Xian didn't say a few words of humility, and immediately punched Xiao Zhen directly. Xiao Zhen made a move with his left hand and shot with a palm of his right hand. The two became entangled.
After more than ten moves, Chang Xian jumped up and kicked Xiao Zhen from top to bottom. Xiao Zhen dodged to avoid it, but he didn't expect Chang Xian to perform a series of three kicks in the air. Xiao Zhen barely forced the second leg away, but failed to avoid the third kick and was immediately kicked in the shoulder.
Xiao Zhen fell to the ground. He struggled for a long time before he could stand up. He had suffered internal injuries. But Xiao Zhen still wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Yelv Xingkong.
Yelv Xingkong came out personally and asked Xiao Zhen to go down and treat his injuries. Yelu Xingkong walked up to Chang Xian and said, "Young escort leader is worthy of being a queen from a famous family and has great martial arts skills. In less than twenty moves, young escort leader defeated my bodyguard, which is very impressive."
Chang looked triumphant and said: "You're welcome, Prince. Please teach me."
Yelu Xingkong said: "I have heard for a long time that the Chang family's marksmanship is the best in the world, and today the Japanese prince wants to see it. It's just that there is a rule that after defeating my guards, you can rest for a day, and I will learn the world-famous marksmanship tomorrow. Chang family gun. What do you think?"
Chang Xian said carelessly: "There's no need for tomorrow, just today. Since you want to see the Gao family's marksmanship, let's have a test of weapons."
Chang Xian waved to the audience, and a servant threw a spear, and the spear flew towards Chang Xian. Chang Xian stretched out his hand and held the spear in his hand. Yelv Xingkong also held a big sword in his hand. The two stood opposite each other and bowed to each other.
Chang Xian aimed his spear directly at Huanglong and stabbed him away. Yelv Xingkong waved his sword to get rid of it, and then slashed Huashan with his backhand. The two of them went back and forth and fought each other.
Feiyun saw that Yelv Xingkong's sword skills were proficient and there were no flaws. After more than twenty moves, it was obvious that Chang Xian had insufficient internal strength and was gradually losing ground.
However, Yelv Xingkong became more and more courageous as he fought, which showed that he had strong internal strength. No wonder he was able to dominate the Khitan, and he was indeed a first-rate master.
While Feiyun and others were watching, Yelu Xingkong suddenly jumped up and slashed with his sword in the air, often raising his gun to stop them. But he didn't expect that Yelu Xingkong had used up all his internal strength, often showing no strength, and was unable to block the big sword.
The broadsword comes down with the momentum, often showing great fright, and can only duck and avoid it. Yelv Xingkong took the initiative and then swept across with his sword. Chang Xian could only jump up. Yelv Xingkong released the sword with his right hand and struck Chang Xian's lower body with a palm.
He often appeared in the air and could not avoid Yelu Xingkong's palm. Yelv Xingkong hit Chang Xian's left leg with a palm. Chang Xian endured the pain, turned over and retreated to the ground.
Yelv Xingkong stopped, obviously not wanting to kill everyone. If he continues to attack at this moment, Chang Xian will definitely be unable to resist.
Yelv Xingkong bowed his hands and said, "The Chang family's gun is really extraordinary. I accept it!" "
Chang Xian's left leg was in great pain at the moment. Although he was not injured, he could no longer fight, so he had to say: "Prince Yelu is worthy of being a Khitan master. I will admit defeat."
Chang Xian cupped his hands, turned around and jumped off the ring. There was a sudden silence in the audience. Naturally, no one expected that Chang Xian would be defeated so quickly.
Xing'er secretly muttered: "It's really an embroidered pillow, not worth much use."
Feiyun said hurriedly: "Miss Xing'er, don't underestimate it. This Yelv Xingkong seems to be really difficult to deal with. But Chang Xian also underestimated the enemy, and he was defeated so quickly. If he calmly faced the enemy, with the exquisiteness of his Chang family spear, It should last a little longer.”
