Seven hundred and fortieth eight chapters before the court competition
Wang Yang, Lu Luo, and his style at that time were frivolous and frivolous.
Er Cao's body and name are both destroyed, and the flow of rivers will not be destroyed forever.
——Excerpt from "Drama as Six Quatrains" by Du Fu
…
The Beiya Forbidden Army sent Liang Chongyi, the sharp archer of Zuo Yulin Army, to fight.
Liang Chongyi, a native of Anding Wushi (now Jingchuan County, PL City, Gansu Province), was not only superb in archery, but also extremely powerful. During the martial arts examination, Liang Chongyi straightened the iron hook with his hands in front of the examiner, and then rolled it back
In its original state, it became famous in one fell swoop.
Liang Chongyi was silent and did not speak much. He walked proudly to the front of the palace, paid a military salute to Su Zong, and then stood in the center of the venue.
Li Xiang and Liang Chongyi saluted each other.
According to palace rules, except for the imperial guards on duty in front of the palace, civil and military officials are not allowed to bring weapons into the palace, so the two of them have to wait for the weapons to be delivered by their attendants.
Everyone in the hall was whispering and guessing who would win and who would lose.
Fujiwara Rika raised her eyebrows and challenged Bai Fu: "General Bai, if I challenge you later, do you dare to fight?"
Bai Fu had a thought in his mind and was about to speak when the supervisor in the palace loudly said: "The weapons have arrived!"
The hall fell silent again. The two guards gave their weapons to Li Xiang and Liang Chongyi respectively. After much anticipation, the traditional "Tingbi" of the Li and Tang royal family finally began.
Li Xiang and Liang Chongyi took over the weapons, saluted Su Zong at the same time, and then separated.
Li Xiang held the scabbard with his left hand and raised it straight in front of him, pulled out the long sword from the sheath, and made a "clang" sound, taking the lead.
Li Xiang's feet were slightly apart, as tall as a pine tree, which immediately aroused a burst of cheers, adding to his majesty.
Li Xiang's sword is named "Jiu Ge Xing", which means "Singing over wine, what's the difference in life!" It is said to be Cao Cao's favorite sword in his later years.
The blade of the sword is slender and flexible, with dark dark lines showing during quenching. If it rains or snows, the sword will be swung with great momentum, showing the astonishing power of using the sword as a gun.
As soon as the long sword was unsheathed, the sword's blade flickered and circulated under the bright lights of the hall, like a spiritual alien artifact.
It was indeed a sword used by the royal family, and everyone praised it for its good quality.
Liang Chongyi's weapons were a pair of wrought copper, four-edged gold maces, four feet long and heavy, which could not be wielded by those who were not strong enough. Their lethality was astonishing, and they could crush the enemy to death even through armor.
Liang Chongyi has a bronze complexion, deep-set eye sockets, and prominent eyebrows. His whole figure looks like cast iron. Holding a long mace in his hand, he stretched out his posture and stood up with an aura that was as motionless as a mountain and towering over the mountains.
Everyone secretly praised him, what a great general.
Everyone in the hall, from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to the courtiers and guests, all felt the critical situation before a battle between masters. Everyone stopped breathing and watched intently.
"Ding!" Li Xiang flicked his fingertips on the edge of the sword, making a sound like a dragon's roar, which was still condensing. Then his waist straightened, and his whole figure suddenly grew taller, taking on the aura of looking down at the world.
This change came suddenly and unexpectedly. Liang Chongyi was the first to bear the brunt of it, and he felt the opponent's unparalleled momentum roaring towards him. If he didn't take action, he would be immediately forced to a disadvantage.
Liang Chongyi shouted loudly, and spun his mace towards Li Xiang like a tornado. With his left mace protecting his face, he used his right mace to make a big flat flower and cut Li Xiang's neck horizontally.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiang was in mid-air, and the sword pointed directly at Liang Chongyi's right wrist. As the saying goes, "A good attacker must defend when attacking the enemy." Although he was in the air, the sword was accurate and fast, and the attack and defense could change in an instant.
Liang Chongyi hurriedly withdrew his hand, swooped down with his mace, turned backwards, and stabbed Li Xiang's left foot. Li Xiang feinted with his left foot, and kicked Liang Chongyi's right wrist with his right foot. Liang Chongyi spun around to avoid the attack.
Liang Chongyi had always been conceited. After making two moves, he was forced to take two steps back and stared at the opponent, shocked and angry.
Li Xiang drew his sword again, and the sword pointed directly at Liang Chongyi's right cheek.
Liang Chongyi has practiced mace skills for more than ten years, and his mind and mace have become one, and his moves are deeply rooted. When the enemy's sword stabs here, Liang Chongyi instinctively turns his left mace to protect himself, and draws horizontally with his right mace, making the two blades look like wind and thunder intersecting.
Li Xiang's voice was like thunder, and he shouted: "I'll capture you if you don't surrender!"
After saying that, the long sword was raised high and struck the head.
Liang Chongyi returned the mace and swept across, turning with the mace, pressing the mace on his left hand against the mace on his right hand, trying to block horizontally.
Li Xiang suddenly changed direction, turned his spear into a spear, and accelerated his thrust through the gap between his maces.
Liang Chongyi took three steps back to avoid this fatal sword. His back was covered with sweat and he was very embarrassed.
Li Xiang didn't wait for Liang Chongyi to recover and drew his sword again.
The long sword flashed, and Liang Chongyi saw sword shadows on the front, back, left and right. His whole body was wrapped in a vast sword aura, and he felt a chill all over his body, as if there was a black dragon swimming around.
Liang Chongyi shouted violently and became really angry. He no longer cared about the other party's royal status and used his special skills.
Liang Chongyi spun around and walked quickly. He made a circle with his left mace and stabbed Li Xiang's lower body. His right mace struck Li Xiang's left shoulder quickly.
Liang Chongyi attacked to the left. The force of his bronze mace was heavy and fierce. Li Xiang had no choice but to retreat and was unable to counterattack. He leaned to one side and seemed about to fall. He took a step forward with his left leg and drew a ray of light with his right sword, stabbing the enemy's throat.
, this sword is really swift and unparalleled.
Liang Chongyi's movement was so fast that he did not lose his sword moves. He leaned away to avoid the sword and continued to pursue Li Xiang's left shoulder with his right mace. Everyone watching the battle saw it clearly and couldn't help shouting in unison.
In the shadow of the sword, Li Xiang's left foot flew up and kicked the opponent's right hip. Liang Chongyi ducked to the left, and the attack was slightly slower.
Before Li Xiang's left foot landed, he kicked his right foot into the air, and the chain of missing legs was as fast as the other, and it was continuous.
Liang Chongyi never expected that a swordsman could have such leg skills, so he hurriedly retreated.
As soon as Li Xiang raised his right foot, his left foot flew out, and his kick was like lightning. Liang Chongyi avoided the long sword, but failed to avoid the kick. He was kicked hard on his right thigh, staggered, and almost fell.

Liang Chongyi's foot was relatively stable, and he immediately stood still.
Seeing Li Xiang's sword coming again, Liang Chongyi hurriedly guarded it with his maces and jumped up.
Li Xiang's swordsmanship is known for its speed. At this moment, he used fast to defeat slow, like heavy rain.
The two of them moved like rabbits and falcons, and stars jumped around. After several changes, the onlookers were dazzled.
Liang Chongyi finally escaped from the screen of Li Xiang's sword, and was just about to recover from his shock. Just as he was about to charge forward and fight again, he heard several women scoffing and laughing.
I saw Suzong frowning, Li Xiang half-smiling but not smiling, and the onlookers had different expressions...
Liang Chongyi was startled. A gust of night wind blew and the candle swayed. Liang Chongyi suddenly felt chilled. When he looked at himself, he was shocked. It turned out that his clothes had been cut into pieces by Li Xiang's sword, and they were all in pieces.
…
In the following several competitions, generals such as the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road, the Jiedushi of Huainan West Road, and the Jiedushi of Shannan East Road participated in the battle, and each had a victory or defeat.
The last competition of the imperial banquet is the grand finale of the whole night banquet. Because this round of battle is a duel between princes.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would randomly draw lots from the adult princes, and the two princes who won the lottery could send their warriors to compete on their behalf.
…
The eunuch Li Fuguo handed the lottery tube to Suzong, and Suzong shook the lottery tube gently.
"Hua Hua Hua..."
"Crack!"
Two long ivory sticks with the prince's name on them were shaken out of the stick tube and fell on the dragon eucalyptus.
With everyone watching, Li Fuguo read out the names of the two sides in a draconian voice.
"This round, the East Palace will face off against the Yue Palace!"
As soon as Li Fuguo's words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Courtiers, you look at me and I look at you, conveying messages with your eyes.
The entire banquet hall suddenly fell into silence from the bustle of people. Only the musicians in the Liyuan did not understand the meaning, shaking their heads, playing and singing.
"Crack!", one of the strings broke, and the whole place was silent.
