Feiyun had forgotten that when he fought with Xu Zhitang, he mostly used weapons and did not fight with bare hands. Although the two of them did not use weapons for the first time, they just compared their internal strength, and Xu Zhitang took the initiative to retreat.
But Yelv Xingkong was very fierce and lacked enough flexibility. But after all, he has strong inner strength, and he can be matched for a while.
Feiyun said to Tianxiang, Liangchen and others: "You can take the opportunity to learn about the palm skills of Yelv Xingkong and Xu Shaoxia. Their palm skills are indeed very good."
Tianxiang said: "Brother Yun is absolutely right, but it's a pity that I have never heard of what Yelv Xingkong said about borrowing magical power just now? Brother Yun, do you know?"
Liangchen hurriedly asked: "Sister Tianxiang, what is the magical skill of doujiali? The name of this kung fu is quite nice."
Feiyun said: "I don't know the specifics. I heard that this is a very powerful kung fu, similar to the traction magic skill of Pei Shouyi and others last time. It is said that once this kung fu is used, there will be few opponents in the world. But Since most people who practice this Kung Fu have been killed, no one knows the details. When we go back, ask Grandpa, maybe he can tell us."
Liangchen said: "Is it that powerful? I don't really believe it."
Feiyun said softly: "Second sister, don't underestimate Xu Shaoxia. Their master is Dongfang Yijian. I fought with him several times and didn't get any advantage. You see, he didn't use any of his family's special skills, so he could easily fight with him." Yelv Xingkong's draw is already very extraordinary. You know how good Yelv Xingkong's skills are."
Feiyun signaled Liangchen not to talk anymore, after all, Xing'er and Luo Sitang were not far away. Fortunately, both of them were staring at the ring and didn't care what Feiyun and others said.
While they were talking, nearly a hundred moves were exchanged back and forth on the stage. As time went by, Yelu Xingkong kept using strong palm techniques, but he could not quickly defeat the enemy, and his internal strength was greatly depleted.
But Xu Zhitang was able to do it with ease and was neither impatient nor impetuous, which showed that his skill was far more profound than Yelu Xingkong's. If he wanted to win at this time, he only had to intensify his attack. Yelv Xingkong would not dare to take the initiative and lose the opportunity, thus having to admit defeat.
But Xu Zhitang didn't seem to want to embarrass Yelv Xingkong too much, so he didn't attack violently, but just kept pestering him, trying to force Yelv Xingkong to admit defeat.
After fighting for a while, Yelv Xingkong couldn't help but feel a little impatient. If he continued to exert himself like this, his internal strength would become even weaker, and he would have no choice but to admit defeat.
Yelu Xingkong then changed his palm technique to a powerful and fast one, hoping to defeat Xu Zhitang within a few moves. But he saw the shadow of Yelv Xingkong's palm flying, covering Xu Zhitang.
Xu Zhitang was not afraid and sped up his movements, calmly neutralizing all of Yelv Xingkong's wild attacks. Suddenly, Xu Zhitang slapped Yelv Xingkong with a powerful palm, and a strong palm force surged out and headed towards Yelv Xing.
Yelv Xingkong didn't expect that the opponent suddenly changed his moves and his strength increased greatly. He was unable to dodge and was hit on the shoulder by Xu Zhitang's palm. Yelv Xingkong was immediately knocked backwards by more than a foot and fell to the ground.
Xu Zhitang originally wanted to force Yelv Xingkong to admit defeat, but Yelv Xingkong persisted and refused to admit defeat. Xu Zhitang had no choice but to raise his internal strength to 190% and give high-fives. Even if Yelv Xingkong didn't lose his power, he still couldn't resist it.
At this time, Yelv Xingkong's internal strength was seriously insufficient, and he was easily knocked away by Xu Zhitang. Fortunately, Xu Zhitang took his identity into consideration and did not use all his strength, otherwise Yelv Xingkong would have been seriously injured at least.
Yelv Xingkong immediately jumped up, walked slowly to Xu Zhitang, bowed and saluted, and said: "Xu Shaoxia is indeed worthy of his reputation. No wonder the Yandang Sect is famous all over the world, so I admit defeat. I also want to thank Shaoxia for showing mercy and not using all his strength."
Xu Zhitang said quickly: "The prince is too humble, and I tried my best to win one and a half moves by luck. We can compete again if we have the opportunity in the future."
Yelv Xingkong was overjoyed when he heard that Xu Zhitang wanted to make friends with him. Yelv Xingkong then turned around and said loudly to the audience: "I am not good at academics. I am defeated by Xu Shaoxia. I am convinced. This is the end of the arena."
Princess Changping and Li Guoer finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. The two princesses stood up and walked to the stage and said to Xu Zhitang: "Thank you so much, Mr. Xu, please come with us to see the emperor."
Although Xu Zhitang had heard Feiyun talk about Princess Changping, he had never seen her. Xu Zhitang didn't know that Princess Changping was actually from the Wu family. He thought that Princess Changping must be Wu Zetian's daughter and naturally a princess of the Li Tang royal family.
Xu Zhitang hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said: "Common man Xu Zhitang pays homage to the princess and the princess."
Princess Changping said: "It doesn't have to be like this, it's important for us to go see the emperor." Xu Zhitang couldn't refuse at this time, so he had to agree and follow the princess towards the palace.
Liangchen looked at Xu Zhitang's retreating back and said, "Brother, Xu Shaoxia does have a lot of potential, and he may become a good helper to the empress in the future!"
Feiyun didn't react for a moment, so he asked in confusion: "Liangchen, where did you start talking about this?"
Liangchen said: "Xu Shaoxia will definitely become the eagle dog of the government in the future, isn't he Wu Zetian's helper?"
After hearing this, Xing'er said very unhappy: "Miss Liangchen, my senior brother will never sacrifice his life for Wu Zetian. You also know the reason!"
Feiyun thought of Xu Zhitang's life experience and the hatred between Xu Zhitang and Wu Zetian, and said: "Second sister, Miss Xing'er's words are right. We should believe Xu Shaoxia and stop saying these words. Miss Xing'er, don't mind me either!" I'm just talking nonsense, please forgive me!"
Liangchen saw that Xing'er was a little unhappy, and after hearing Feiyun's words, he quickly expressed his apology to Xing'er. Xing'er knew that Liangchen was speaking openly, so she said she wouldn't take it to heart. Feiyun led everyone out of the ring and returned to the palace.
Besides, Xu Zhitang followed Princess Changping to the Jinluan Palace. After everyone paid homage to Wu Zetian, the princess reported Xu Zhitang's defeat of Yelv Xingkong to Wu Zetian in detail.
Although Wu Zetian had heard Xu Zhitang's name before, she didn't think of it for a moment. She first asked Yelu Xingkong: "Prince Yelu, do you have anything else to say?"
Yelu Xingkong said cheerfully: "I am willing to admit defeat. We Khitan men naturally keep their word. Since I failed in the arena, I will naturally give up the proposal of marriage. Your country is full of talents and heroes. I admire you."
Seeing that Yelu Xingkong was quite sensible, Wu Zetian said: "Of course our country is rich in talents. I hope that when you return to your country, you will convey my greetings to the leader of your country. I hope that the two countries can coexist peacefully and avoid war."
Yelv Xingkong naturally agreed. Anyway, it didn't matter what he said, and he was happy to lose the favor.
Yelv Xingkong said to Xu Zhitang: "I hope that Master Murong will come to the Northeast when he is free. I will do my best to welcome you as a landlord."
Xu Zhitang said quickly: "If there is an opportunity in the future, I should pay you a visit." After Yelv Xingkong said this, he said goodbye to Wu Zetian and left the palace immediately.
After Yelv Xingkong and others left the hall, Wu Zetian said to Xu Zhitang: "Xu Shaoxia defeated Beihu this time and promoted my power in the Zhou Dynasty. I don't know what reward Xu Shaoxia hopes to get. If you have any ideas, you can just put them forward."
Xu Zhitang said: "The ordinary people just borrowed the power of the Emperor's dragon to win by luck and did not dare to take credit. As for rewards, everything is left up to the Emperor."
Xu Zhitang had already heard from Zhang Jianzhi that Wu Zetian intended to return the throne to the Li family, so his hatred for Wu Zetian naturally diminished.
Seeing Xu Zhitang's humility, Wu Zetian admired him greatly, and said: "I have something to say beforehand. If someone can defeat the Khitans, he should be a high-ranking official. He will be able to ride on a fine horse, be granted a title, be rewarded, and be given a good relationship. I am the emperor, so I have no joke. .I will now appoint you as the deputy commander of the Royal Guards and part-time deputy commander of the palace guards. If you have merit in the future, you will be rewarded. As for the marriage, look at these two, one is my grandniece Princess Changping, and the other is my granddaughter Jun. Lord. Who do you like?"
Wu Zetian paused for a moment. She originally hoped that if a young man defeated Yelv Xingkong, he could be recruited as his consort. When she saw that Xu Zhitang was about the same age as Princess Changping, she proposed marriage on a whim. Xu Zhitang already had Xing'er in his heart, so naturally he didn't want to.
Besides, Xu Zhitang didn't want to marry a royal princess. In that case, his every move would be monitored, he would have no freedom at all, and naturally he would not be able to travel around the world. Xu Zhitang then knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness. However, Wei Chen's family has already arranged a marriage, and he must not dare to get another marriage from the Emperor. The Emperor will take back the marriage grant."
After hearing this, Wu Zetian felt helpless and could only express regret. She couldn't ask Xu Zhitang to repent and marry another man. However, her affection for Xu Zhitang increased a bit.
Of course, Wu Zetian was still wary of Xu Zhitang. The appointments she gave to Xu Zhitang were all deputy positions without much real power. The commander-in-chief of the imperial army is his most trusted Wuwei, while the commander of the palace guards is Princess Changping.
Xu Zhitang thanked Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian said: "A group of gangsters appeared in the Jianghu before and committed crimes repeatedly. Aiqing comes from the Jianghu, I wonder if there is a way to capture these people?"
Xu Zhitang naturally knew very well. He understood who Wu Zetian was talking about, so he said: "Wei Chen rarely travels around the world recently, so he doesn't understand this matter. However, Wei Chen obeys the orders of the emperor and the princess. If these people dare to show themselves, Wei Chen will I will definitely capture him alive and hand him over to the emperor for punishment."
Wu Zetian said with great joy: "From now on, the safety of the palace will depend on the Qing family. The Qing family and the princess are jointly responsible. If you have any questions, please ask the princess for advice. With my dear wife guarding the palace, I can rest easy."
Wu Zetian originally wanted Li Xian to recruit Feiyun into the palace, but now that she saw Xu Zhitang's martial arts skills, she changed her mind. From Feiyun's consistent attitude, she could tell that this person was somewhat difficult to control.
Xu Zhitang said: "Thank you for your trust, your Majesty. I will do my best and die." Wu Zetian nodded and ordered to arrange a royal banquet.
Besides, after Feiyun and others returned, Qingxiang had been depressed and seemed to have something on her mind. Feiyun then asked: "Miss Qingxiang, are you really feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Qingxiang sighed and shook her head. Liangchen observed their words and asked, "Sister Qingxiang, are you thinking about revenge?" Qingxiang glanced at Feiyun and Liangchen, lowered her head and said nothing. Only then did Feiyun understand why Qingxiang was unhappy.
Qingxiang came to the capital just to take revenge on Wu Qisi and Princess Changping. However, under the persuasion of Li Xian and Xia Feng, Qingxiang did not take any risks for the time being. But now a long time has passed, and his brother Ma Xiang has also come to the capital, so Qingxiang is naturally eager to try it. But after seeing Princess Changping's martial arts today, Qingxiang was hit hard.
Although Xia Feng comforted her and said that she and Princess Changping were equally matched. But Qingxiang knew that she was no match. What's more, there are many experts in the palace, and she almost fell into the hands of the princess last time. But Wu Qisi followed Wu Sansi in the palace all day long. If you want to kill him, you can only enter the palace. At this moment, when Liangchen asked, he didn't know how to answer, so he bowed his head and remained silent.
Seeing this, Liangchen knew that he had guessed her thoughts, so he said to Feiyun: "How about we help her and go to the palace to kill Wu Qisi? So that Qingxiang will not always worry about this and worry about it."
Feiyun didn't have a good impression of Wu Qisi in the first place, but because of Li Xian's relationship, he didn't want to be a direct enemy of the court, so he kept discouraging Qingxiang. Seeing Qingxiang's sad face at this moment, I couldn't help but feel distressed. In addition, Wu Qisi himself was not a good person, so he said: "If Miss Qingxiang really wants to take revenge as soon as possible, then she might as well give it a try."
When Qingxiang heard Feiyun's agreement, she was overjoyed and said, "If eldest brother agrees, let's go to Brother Biao and discuss it together!" Feiyun nodded in agreement. So several people left Zhang Ze's house and came to Desheng Building. When Wang De saw that it was Liu Shui, Feiyun and others, he quickly invited them to the back hall to talk. Wang De said: "Is there any big deal when you guys come together?" Feiyun said: "There is indeed something important, and I want to discuss it with you." Wang De said: "We are a family, so if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt. "
Feiyun said: "Liangchen, please tell me first." Wang De said: "Miss Liangchen, what is it?" Liangchen said: "We know the purpose of you and Sister Yu coming to the capital, so we want to help you go to the palace. Assassination of Wang Jien. I wonder what you think?" Wang De said: "Do you still have to ask? Of course we can't ask for it. As long as we can get revenge, we can do anything. It's just that there are many masters in the palace, and you have a close relationship with His Royal Highness. . I don’t want you to offend the prince and your aunt because of our affairs.”
Feiyun said: "This is nothing. Wu Qisi has done many evil things and should get the retribution he deserves. My aunt herself is also from Chengdu, and she also has relatives who were killed by Wu Qisi. Besides, she came from a humble background and hated the officials who oppressed the people. I believe that even if she knew, she would not blame us." Qingxiang, Liangchen, and Meimei knew Li Xian better and knew that Feiyun was telling the truth. With Liu E's personality, she would not blame Liu Shui for Wang Jien.
Wang De said: "In this case, how should we act?" Liangchen said: "We have to divide our troops into two groups, one to burn the grain depot and the other to assassinate the palace. This will definitely distract their attention." Wang De said: "But our manpower is limited, so if we spread it out like this, there will be very few people to assassinate."
