Ma Xiang once fought against Chang Xian in the ring in Danjiang Town. At that time, Chang Xian was not Ma Xiang's opponent at all. Tianxiang said: "Ma Shaoxia, you have also defeated Chang Xian. Are you sure you can defeat this Khitan?"
Ma Xiang thought for a moment and said: "Miss Tianxiang, to be honest, I'm not sure either. Chang Xian's martial arts is not bad. He didn't underestimate the enemy just now, but he is really not as good as him."
Xing'er sighed and said, "This Chang Xian's martial arts skills are too poor. He was defeated so quickly that I failed to see the true strength of this Khitan man."
Xu Zhitang quickly comforted him: "Junior sister, don't be in a hurry. As soon as he goes back, someone will come again tomorrow. We will go back today, and there shouldn't be anyone here again today."
Feiyun also said: "Xu Shaoxia is right, let's go back." Everyone left the competition site and returned to the backyard of the palace.
Xu Zhitang suddenly said to Feiyun: "Shaoxia Lin, with the Kungfu that Yelu Xingkong showed today, if I go up, I can at least remain undefeated. I am not sure whether I can win. Shaoxia Lin's martial arts is better than mine, you What do you think?"
Feiyun thought for a while and said: "This person's kung fu is good, but it's really unpredictable. It seems to me that he hasn't used all his kung fu yet. Let's continue to see."
Xu Zhitang smiled and said: "If you go up, I guess he will only surrender."
Feiyun also smiled and said: "You praise me too much, I have no interest in competing. The princess and the princess are both arrogant and domineering, so it would be nice to let her go to our north to suffer the cold!"
But Tianxiang interjected: "Brother Yun, it seems that you still hate them for offending you!"
Feiyun did not deny it and said: "Of course I will not forget these. These two women from the royal family are hard to like!"
Xu Zhitang continued: "Young Master Lin, if you don't mind, how about practicing a few moves with me today? If you can give me some pointers by the way, I would be very grateful!"
Feiyun said: "Xu Shaoxia is the proud disciple of Senior Dongfang. I am not qualified to give you advice. But I can compete with you. This is fine! Your swordsmanship has many unique features, and I want to see it. Let's go to the garden. , practice swordsmanship with you." The two of them came to the garden together. When the others saw the two going to sword practice, they did not follow them and went to the living room.
After Feiyun and the two arrived in the back garden, Xu Zhitang said, "Let's practice boxing first, okay?"
Feiyun nodded and said, "Of course I will listen to you."
Xu Zhitang struck with a palm before Feiyun could finish speaking. Feiyun stretched out his hand to block it, and struck out with his right palm. Xu Zhitang waved his hand to stop him, and the two started fighting back and forth. Feiyun has fought against both Xu Zhitang and Xing'er. Xu Zhitang and Xing'er are both disciples of the Yandang Sect, so naturally they are no strangers to his boxing techniques.
The two have been sparring for more than an hour and have benefited a lot from boxing to swordsmanship. After all, Xu Zhitang's master is Dongfang Zhenyu, one of the five masters, and Feiyun's master is also Nanyue Sanren Lin Yue, one of the five masters. At this moment, Liangchen walked in and asked the two to stop.
Xu Zhitang asked: "Miss Liangchen, what's the matter?"
Liangchen said quickly: "The princess ordered a banquet and invited everyone to have a meal."
Xu Zhitang understood what Princess Wei meant, and she used this method to remind herself. It was inconvenient for Princess Wei to directly urge him to get into the ring as soon as possible and defeat the Khitans. After all, although Xu Zhitang agreed to go to the ring, he did not make any requests to Li Xian and Princess Wei.
Xu Zhitang smiled slightly and said, "I know, let's come." Feiyun and Xu Zhitang immediately followed Liangchen to the side hall to dine with everyone.
In the evening, Feiyun, Tianxiang, Liangchen and Meijing returned to the room, and Meijing said: "I didn't expect that Khitan man to have some real skills. That Chang Xian was defeated so quickly. It's a pity that I was not there at the time, otherwise he would have been Go meet him."
Feiyun smiled slightly and said: "Third sister, are your hands itchy? Why don't we go and have a look tomorrow and learn about the Khitan's martial arts methods."
Tianxiang said quickly: "Brother Yun is right, there is no harm in getting more familiar with them. Besides, we rarely have the opportunity to see the martial arts of these northern barbarians!"
Liangchen smiled and said: "Then let's all have a good rest tonight, and we will go together tomorrow." Everyone talked and had a rest.
Early the next morning, Feiyun, Xu Zhitang and Tianxiang came to the ring with Liangchen, Meijing, Xing'er and Luo Sitang. Since Chang Xian was defeated yesterday, many people knew that their martial arts skills were not as good as Chang Xian's, so no one took the field for a while.
When everyone was feeling bored, suddenly a group of people came in from outside the venue. When everyone looked at it, it was Lu Zheng who they hadn't seen for many days. It turns out that Lu Zheng, Lu Zhi and Qin Yang followed Huang Yuxian and others. They tried to intercept Li Xian last time, but were defeated by Feiyun and others.
Huang Yuxian and Xiao Yan refused to give up and followed Feiyun and others secretly. Huang Yuxian originally planned to attack Feiyun and the others after leaving Danjiang Town. But they unexpectedly discovered that Xu Zhitang, Wang Hai, Xia Feng, Duan Qing and others were all with Feiyun.
When Qin Yang was fighting in Danjiang Town, Huang Yuxian and Xiao Yan were both in the audience. They naturally know the martial arts of Wang Hai, Duan Qing and Xu Zhitang. Huang Yuxian knew that she had no chance of winning against Feiyun, Ximenshan and others, and with these people, they were even less of a match.
Huang Yuxian had no choice but to give up his plan to kidnap Li Xian and prepare to return to Lingnan. But Xiao Yan wants to go to Luoyang to look for opportunities to assassinate Wu Zetian. Lu Zheng took the opportunity to persuade Huang Yuxian and promised that he would ask Mrs. Lu to assist Xiao Yan.
Huang Yuxian couldn't resist Xiao Yan and had to agree. Huang Yuxian and Xiao Yan took everyone and followed Lu Zheng into Luoyang and met Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu was so happy that she arranged for them to live in the Lu family's old house.
Lu Zheng tried his best to persuade Xiao Yan and Huang Yuxian to come to Luoyang, naturally because he wanted to change his image in Xiao Yan's heart. But no matter how he behaved, Xiao Yan didn't take him seriously at all and still ignored him.
Lu Zheng was naturally depressed and often went out to play. When Lu Zheng heard about the beating that day, he thought that Princess Changping was also a beauty. Lu Zheng thought again and decided to compete.
Lu Zheng came near the ring and jumped onto the ring. Xiao Zhen was injured yesterday, so today it is Xiao Lei who defends the competition.
When Xiao Lei saw Lu Zheng coming up, he bowed his hands and said, "It turns out he is the famous young master of the Lu family in the capital. I am polite to you."
Lu Zheng said proudly: "You're welcome, Lu is here to learn some tricks." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately punched him.
Xiao Lei waved his hand to block it, and then struck with his right palm. Lu Zheng did not dodge, and waved his left palm to meet him. The two palms touched and there was a snap. Xiao Lei was knocked back several steps, but Lu Zheng did not move at all. Obviously Lu Zheng's skill far surpassed Xiao Lei's.
Lu Zheng immediately waved his palms and attacked one after another, intending to defeat the opponent as soon as possible. He didn't want to get entangled with Xiao Lei and wanted to save his strength to deal with Yelv Xingkong. Lu Zheng punched and kicked, each move faster than the next.
Xiao Lei was clearly no match. After more than ten moves, he was unable to dodge and was hit by Lu Zheng's palm. Xiao Lei flew backwards and landed about ten feet away. He quickly stood up and was about to pounce, but Yelv Xingkong stopped him.
Yelv Xingkong walked slowly to the ring and asked Xiao Lei to step back. He then bowed to Lu Zheng and said, "Master Lu is worthy of being a Shaolin disciple, and his martial arts skills are indeed extraordinary. It is a great honor to see a masterful move today."
Lu Zheng returned the gift with a carefree gesture, and said, "The prince thanks you for your praise. Please give me some advice."
Yelu Xingkong said: "I have heard for a long time that Master Lu is a master of the Shaolin stick technique. I wonder if I, the prince, can learn a thing or two about it?"
Of course Lu Zheng's martial arts is not as good as Feiyun, Xu Zhitang and others, nor is he as good as Tianxiang and Xiao Yan. But his stick skills are authentic from Shaolin and rarely matched by anyone in Luoyang. Yelv Xingkong challenged him face to face, which shows that he has great self-confidence.
In fact, when Yelv Xingkong came to the Central Plains this time, asking for marriage was just an excuse. The purpose of his trip was to find out the truth about the Zhou Dynasty. Princess Changping proposed a challenge, and he agreed without hesitation. Firstly, Yelu Xingkong had strong confidence in his martial arts, and secondly, he also wanted to use this opportunity to get to know heroes from all walks of life in the Central Plains and prepare for the future.
When Lu Zheng saw his opponent bluntly challenging his favorite Shaolin stick technique, he naturally would not refuse, so he shouted to the audience: "Here comes the stick."
The servant in the audience immediately threw the iron rod, and Lu Zheng caught it with both hands. He turned around and saw Yelv Xingkong standing with an iron rod in his hand. Lu Zheng said no more, rushed forward and hit him with his stick. Yelv Xingkong waved his stick to meet him. The two sticks collided with each other, and they both took a few steps back. It was obvious that their skills were equal.
The two of them were going back and forth in the ring, two iron rods intertwined, making a shadow of the sticks. They fought for more than thirty rounds and were inseparable for a while. Seeing that Lu Zheng had not yet gained the upper hand, Lu Zheng became a little impatient and stepped up his offensive. Yelu Xingkong seemed to be confident, not impatient, calm and calm, and dealt with everything casually.
Feiyun looked at it for a while and said, "It seems that Lu Zheng is about to lose."
Although Feiyun knew that Lu Zheng was related to Huang Yuxian and others, he had also done things that were detrimental to Li Xian. But he believed that Lu was Wu Zetian's enemy, just like Xu Zhitang and others. Feiyun had always respected Wu Zetian's enemies and naturally would not report on Lu Zheng.
Tianxiang said: "What Brother Yun said is that he acted too hastily and is indeed no match for Yelv Xingkong." As the two of them talked, the situation in the ring changed drastically. Yelv Xingkong suddenly changed his moves and his stick technique, switching from defense to attack.
Lu Zheng accidentally hit his left arm with a stick from Yelv Xingkong. Lu Zheng's iron rod almost fell to the ground and he hurriedly retreated in pain.
Yelv Xingkong didn't chase him, he just stood there and bowed his hands and said, "I accept."
Lu Zheng's face was livid, he cupped his hands, and without saying a word, he jumped down and hurried away with his servants.
There was a sudden silence in the arena. Unexpectedly, even the famous Shaolin disciple Lu Zheng was defeated by Yelu Xingkong. Princess Changping and Li Guoer, who were watching the battle, were naturally shocked when they saw this.
Li Guoer said to Princess Changping: "Sister Princess, what should we do? It seems that no one can beat this person. Do we really want to marry to Khitan?"
Changping was not sure that he could defeat Yelu Xingkong, so he said coldly: "It seems that if no one comes out yet, we will have to do this. Sister Guo'er, do you have any ideas?"
Li Guoer said angrily: "What can I do? It's all your fault. It has nothing to do with me, but you deliberately harmed me! If I am forced to marry this person, I will never forgive you in my life!"
Princess Changping sneered and said, "If the princess has any objections, she can report to the emperor and declare that she does not want to marry a Khitan!"
