Meng Tian replied sincerely: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is too humble. Without your support back then, Meng Tian would not be where he is today. General Wang has always been grateful for His Highness's kindness."
Xiang Shaolong said: "You are all rare talents. Without me, I can't bury you. Don't worry, I will withdraw if I can't defeat you this time. I won't risk my life for the sake of the false reputation of 'the best in the world'" None. The late king gave me a gold medal back then, which was a heavy burden for me. If I hadn't been the prime minister of Qin, I would have been challenged by others over the years. If I really lost, it would be easy. "
In the end, Meng Tian couldn't defeat Xiang Shaolong, so he had to send a fully armed Qiannu battalion, led by him personally, to hold down the battle for Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong was riding his red rabbit horse, holding a Fangtian painted halberd. His long black hair was tied behind his head, and his temples were frosted.
Xiang Shaolong does not have a long beard, and the short beard around his lips has been carefully trimmed. There is a hint of elegance in his prowess, and he does not look like a sixty-year-old man, but seems to be in his forties. This horse is no longer the BMW he rode back then, but a descendant of that horse. He has always been partial to fiery red war horses.
Xiang Shaolong didn't wear any armor, only a black warrior uniform and black leather boots. The armor is too heavy and affects flexibility. He was old and physically weak. Although his defense was reduced, he had no intention of fighting Xiang Yu to the end. If he felt that it was not possible, he would retreat in time.
Seeing Xiang Shaolong coming to the general's formation, the Chu army was surprised. Why did he go into battle without wearing armor?
Xiang Yu recognized Xiang Shaolong at a glance. Although he only met him once when he was young, he left a deep impression on him.
Xiang Yu rode his horse to the front of the battle, looked at Xiang Shaolong, clasped his fists and said, "I didn't expect His Highness the King of Jin to take action in person. His Highness has been known to be invincible for more than thirty years. Since he has become a civil servant, why bother to come to the battlefield to fight again? He is not afraid of not being able to fight in the evening." Bao, did you lose the morale of the Qin army?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "They are all just false names. I have never gained any benefit from these false names. If they are gone, they will be gone. I practice martial arts firstly for survival and secondly for love. I am going to fight today just for the sake of meeting." The hunting heart is happy, I don’t care about the victory or defeat. The military power of our Great Qin Dynasty depends on thousands of brave soldiers. General Meng swept across the Western Regions and shocked the world. It seems that duels like this are not favored by the commander-in-chief. , you and I are just reckless men."
Xiang Yu is the spiritual pillar of the Chu army. He inspires the Chu army with the image of the invincible god of war. At this time, Xiang Shaolong described him as brave as an ordinary man. How could he give up and shouted: "Stop talking as fast as you can, and come to fight!"
Xiang Shaolong picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd and was about to start a battle. Suddenly, an angry shout came from behind Xiang Yu: "Wait a minute!" Then a war horse came, and a man immediately sat upright.
When Xiang Shaolong saw it, he smiled and said, "Brother Guan, you're fine!" It was Guan Zhongxie.
Guan Zhongxie is about the same age as Xiang Shaolong, with gray beard and hair. He looks a little older than Xiang Shaolong, but he is full of energy and a little more fierce than Xiang Shaolong.
Guan Zhongxie said: "I didn't expect that we would still have the day to meet. I have wanted to fight you for more than thirty years, and today I finally got this opportunity."
Xiang Shaolong nodded and said: "Yes, as long as you are still in our Great Qin, you will never be qualified to challenge me. Although this group of rebels is insignificant in my eyes, they can give you the courage to talk to me as an equal."
Guan Zhongxie remembered that he had been submissive in front of Xiang Shaolong, and suddenly felt ashamed and angry, and his anger became fierce in his heart. He said angrily: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had to hide for so many years. Today I want to be ashamed."
Xiang Shaolong said: "It was Lu Buwei who made you unable to get ahead. He did not know how to advance or retreat, and brought his own destruction, which caused you harm. However, your surrender to Lu Buwei was a gamble in itself, but you were not lucky and lost. Can you If you leave your life behind, you should be grateful for the emperor's grace. Isn't it good to live a peaceful life? You have to do something like this to destroy the nine tribes."
Guan Zhongxie said: "You have to sit in a high official position, ride a horse, and you are famous all over the world. Of course it is easy for you to speak. Why should I remain anonymous? Why should I be half shorter in front of you?"
Xiang Shaolong sighed secretly, it was human nature to want to become famous, and to control evil talents and martial arts, they were the best choices. Being implicated by Lu Buwei, it was considered that he had not recognized his talent, so he really couldn't blame him for anything.
Xiang Shaolong said: "Then you really have to thank this disciple of yours. It was him who finally made you stand up in front of me. Back then, I saw that he was not a thing in the pool, and I had the intention to give him a future. Now I see Come on, I underestimated him."
Then he looked at Xiang Yu and asked, "Which one of you will come first?"
Although Guan Zhongxie is the master, in the army, Xiang Yu is the king and he is the minister, and they cannot exceed the etiquette.
He asked Xiang Yu for instructions: "Your Majesty, please give this opportunity to me."
Although Xiang Yu is arrogant, he still respects this master. In order to start a rebellion, the master led many disciples to join his account, which added a lot of strength to him. He also knew that there was a lot of quarrel between his master and Xiang Shaolong, and he had always been convinced of his master's martial arts. Although he was not young, his martial arts skills were still the same as before. He did not dare to say that he would win if he was against him. He said: "General, be careful!" After saying that, he retreated and gave up his position as the main station.
Xiang Shaolong said: "It seems that I suppressed you very hard back then, which made you deeply resentful. As you are, you are still not qualified to fight me, although you think you can. I am here for Xiang Yu. , regardless of his identity or martial arts. However, I still decided to give you a chance to let you understand that you were right not to challenge me back then. That was not cowardice, but wisdom. "
Guan Zhongxie was furious, and Xiang Yu quickly said from behind: "General, calm down, he wants to anger you."
Guan Zhongxie suddenly woke up, but he was still furious, mainly because he had been too suppressed in front of Xiang Shaolong and he was eager to fight.
He barely suppressed his anger, controlled his emotions, and said: "Xiang Shaolong, don't say more, come on!"
Xiang Shaolong saw that his anger didn't seem to be too intense, so he smiled slightly and said: "Since you are the one challenging me, then let me choose how to compete, right now? Dismount? If you win, I will give the former king I’ll give you the gold medal I gave you. I didn’t bring it with me on this expedition, but I keep my word. If you win, I’ll go back to Xianyang to get it.” In his tone, he always placed his position very high, looking down at the supervisor. Bewitched.
Guan Zhongxie stopped answering, urged his horse, drew his gun, and headed straight for Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong opened Fang Tian's painted halberd, and the two of them hit each other.
Although Guan Zhongxie's martial arts is indeed strong, horse fighting is not his strong point. Compared with Wang Jian back then, he is far inferior. In addition, Xiang Shaolong's mount Shenjun is already weak in less than fifty moves. Relying on the strength and flexibility of his body, he could barely hold on.
Xiang Shaolong got excited and danced his halberd. The tigers and tigers were in the wind. The two horses climbed up by mistake and the horses circled. Xiang Shaolong knocked off Guan Zhongxie's helmet with his halberd. The thorn of the halberd hit Guan Zhongxie's throat. Throat, but did not go any further.
After subduing Guan Zhongxie, Xiang Shaolong just smiled, took back Fang Tian's painted halberd, and said: "You're too far behind in your kung fu right now, why don't you try harder with each step?"
Guan Zhongxie had already closed his eyes and waited for death, but he didn't expect that Xiang Shaolong didn't kill him. He breathed a sigh of relief, but he also felt extremely humiliated. Then I thought about it, I was never a general on horseback, and I had never even fought a serious horse battle. I really used my own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths.
Even if you lose, you will lose, and it is useless to just focus on shame. Swordsmanship is my strength.
Guan Zhongxie took off his armor, put on a light warrior uniform, and took out a long sword.
Xiang Shaolong also took out his sword. Xueyin Kuangdao was broken during the decisive battle with Cao Qiudao. After returning, he spent half a year using the meteorite iron gifted by King Zhuang Xiang to carefully build another magical weapon as it was.
The blade has the words "Listen to the spring rain in the small building all night" written in large seal script, written by Li Si.
Li Si also didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. Xiang Shaolong didn't explain it and couldn't explain it, but Li Si also saw Xiang Shaolong's persistence in this sentence and wrote it extremely seriously.
Xiang Shaolong sometimes lamented that Li Si was talented, but unfortunately he was not broad-minded and greedy for power. Just these few words can make this knife a treasure passed down from generation to generation.
Guan Zhongxie is holding a sword, and his aura is particularly sharp. He is a true swordsman. With a sword in hand, his confidence and demeanor are completely different from before.
Xiang Shaolong holds the sword in his hand, but his momentum is restrained, which is different from the sharp and sharp look back then.
In front of the two armies, the officers and soldiers of the three armies were all looking at these two peerless swordsmen.
What Guan Zhongxie has been most afraid of these years is actually Xiang Shaolong's identity.
Since slashing Cao Qiudao with his sword and being awarded a gold medal by the late king, Xiang Shaolong's reputation has reached its peak. Guan Zhongxie would never dare to underestimate Xiang Shaolong's martial arts, but if he was not in phase, Guan Zhongxie would still challenge him.
Today, the two sides are in hostile camps, and he can finally put aside the shackles of his identity and initiate the duel that was thirty years late.
Xiang Shaolong's two-handed swordsmanship is extremely proficient. He was invincible back then and was known to the whole world.
Guan Zhongxie had already studied Xiang Shaolong's sword skills and knew that holding a sword with one hand would be too disadvantageous. He lengthened the hilt of the sword, made it heavier, and painstakingly created a set of two-handed sword techniques just to restrain Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong also saw that Guan Zhongxie's sword was different, as if it was specially made for him, and smiled: "It seems that you are well prepared for this battle, don't let me down!"
Guan Zhongxie's blood boiled. Looking at Xiang Shaolong, he could no longer suppress his restless heart. After waiting for many years, he finally got what he wanted. He stopped talking and swung his sword to attack.
Xiang Shaolong drew his sword smoothly and slashed Guan Zhongxie diagonally. The evil sword in Guan Zhong holds the blade hard. The two were very close in age, height, and arm strength, so they were evenly matched.
Xiang Shaolong's sword skills are simple and crude, while Guan Zhong's evil sword skills are sharp, strange and exquisite.
Both of them kept their spirits up and refused to give in. They were going back and forth, fighting fiercely together.
