"Hey, the emperor's face is probably uglier than my horse's hooves right now."
A heroic young man stood in the study, holding a short halberd in his hand and gently spinning it while mocking in a low voice.
"Huo Li, be careful what you say!"
Li Yuanya, the master of Yanbao Castle, shouted in a deep voice.
"Father, why are you nervous? It's just a talk at home. I know the rules and won't spread it everywhere."
Li Huoli disagreed. As the young master of Yanbao, he was good at martial arts, but his reputation in the world was not great because he joined the Jizhou frontier army early to fight. It was rumored that he had a good relationship with the Minister of the Ministry of War and the son of General Gu Jiantang.
.
Compared with his youthful frivolity, Li Yuanya, the master of Yanbao Castle, is much calmer and more cautious: "Even at home, you can't talk casually! Zhao Gou is known to be all-pervasive, how do you know that there are no ears behind the walls? Don't forget that our family was able to
What a price it pays to continue!”
His words silenced Li Huoli.
Although he was still young at the time, as a direct descendant of the family, he naturally understood a little bit about it afterwards.
When Hong Jia was running north, people in the world only noticed the group of Central Plains scholars who rushed to Beimang, as well as Li Yishan, Nalan Youci, Yuan Benxi and other top counselors who tacitly jointly planned this big event.
But as a family based on the border of Jizhou, the Li family's deepest memory of that incident was that the Jizhou Han family, their loyal in-laws for generations, was executed by the imperial court for collaborating with the enemy and treason.
The root cause is that they failed to stop the group of scholars who fled all the way from the south of the Central Plains into Beimang.
Zhao Bing, the king of Yanla, did not stop, and Xu Xiao, the king of Northern Liang, did not stop them, but the court could not touch them. However, the Han family was different. They were all wiped out after being angered by the court.
At that time, the Li family and the Han family were still related by marriage. In order to avoid being harmed by Chi Yu, the old fort master Li Chulin, who had not yet vacated the position of family head for Li Yuanya at that time, was very ruthless. Not only did he have the younger couple tied up to go to Ji
At the execution ground in Zhouzhou City, even their young children were not spared. The last two children who were supposed to have the surname Li were thrown to the ground together with their parents.
If you want to talk about whether there is any guilt in your heart, there is definitely some, but the old head of the family's decision-making has helped the Li family continue to this day, and the younger generation naturally cannot control him, so this guilt mixed with grievance turned into dissatisfaction with the court.
But despite being dissatisfied, they still had to keep moving closer to the court to please the court, which shows the complexity of human nature.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."
Li Huoli is not a fool. He is just young and energetic, and feels humiliated by the fact that his family was forced to betray one of his own. To be honest, if the Han family were still around, there would be no way that the Li family in Yanbao would be where they are today.
He became the local emperor of Jizhou.
"This time the Beimang army is attacking, it's a good time for me to make some achievements. Maybe I can become a general by then!"
He joined the army when he was fifteen or sixteen, and now he is nearly in his prime. He already commands thousands of elite men, and he can be called a young general. This is because Liaodong has rarely seen wars.
Therefore, when it comes to Chi Yao's move to divert trouble to the east, he is not only not as panicked as most people, but is eager to try it, seeing it as an opportunity for him to reach the sky in one step!
"Jizhou is adjacent to Juzizhou in Beimang. Murong Baoding, who holds the festival order in Juzizhou, is not only a veteran in killing, but also a great martial arts master. You must not take it lightly. You must follow General Gu's arrangements in everything. Do you understand?"
Li Yuanya, who had experienced more than his eldest son who was born a calf and was not afraid of tigers, never dared to underestimate Beimang's cavalry.
Since the two Liao defense lines were established, they have not actually faced a real all-out attack from Beimang. Even though they have the title of a frontier army, the actual combat experience of the soldiers is really worrying. This time, even if General Gu Jiantang personally
I'm afraid the situation won't be easy either.
…
…
Big people have the worries of big people, but small people also have fun.
The past six months or so have been a paradise on earth for the vast majority of ordinary melon-eaters.
In Goulan, wine shops, and tea shops, there are customers everywhere who are eating like pigs with their cheeks bulging and their faces full of juice.
Without him, everything Chi Yao has done since his debut has been a major event that can be widely spread in the world and last forever.
But just when everyone was still talking about his deeds of transcending ten thousand ghosts, slaying the heavenly master with his sword, and frightening off the Guangling cavalry, another bombshell exploded.
Chi Yao Beimang and his party actually killed Tuoba Bodhisattva!
Who is Tuoba Bodhisattva?
Although he is not included in the martial arts review, that is because the martial review is officially reviewed by Liyang, and people from Beimang are no longer included in the selection.
But for Jianghu people, especially those living on the northern border, the reputation of Beimang Military God is much more intimidating than any martial arts master.
How could such a peerless man be killed?
Or was it done by us Liyang people?
After confirming the news, everyone immediately celebrated. At this moment, all the talk about the differences between good and evil, and the incompatibility of black and white were thrown into the gutter.
In the face of the great righteousness of the two countries, if anyone dares to criticize Chi Yao and call him a devil at this time, he will first be beaten by the righteous people around him.
They wish they could have a few more demons like this. Then they could join forces and go to Beimang Palace to kill all the empresses, the emperors, and the generals. How great would it be?
Therefore, when there was news from the imperial court that the martial arts review was to be rearranged, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Those who admire, those who hate, and even those who are indifferent want to see where Chi Yao, who has done such great things, ranks.
With Zhao Dun's signal, this time the martial arts review was very refreshing.
Generally speaking, the changes are not big. Wang Mingyin, who is ranked No. 1 in the world, finally got rid of this embarrassing position and was removed from the list. Wang Xianzhi, who was ranked second but actually ranked first, is untouchable, but Deng Tai'a, who was originally third, is unbeatable.
At first, everyone moved one step back because someone airborne behind Wang Xianzhi.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The second best in the world, the Demon Lord Chi Yao!
Some people are dissatisfied with this name, but it fits most people's mental positioning.
After all, he personally killed the number one person in Beimang and his record was unparalleled. However, he did not fight against the currently recognized number one in the world, so his ranking second only to Wang Xianzhi is more reasonable.
However, since Zhao Dun wanted to cause trouble, how could he let Chi Yao go so easily?
This is what he wrote in his review:
He entered Beimang alone and fought for thousands of miles. He successively killed the bronze man holding the plate in Qi Jian Yue Mansion, Jian Qi Jin of Jian Mansion, Huang Qing, Gengluozi Hong Jingyan, Princess Fen Xiaonian, Zhongjia Zhongliang, Spider Web's Chief Assassin Yijie Liu, etc.
man, and finally captured and killed Tuoba Bodhisattva, a warrior in the land of immortals.
Killing more than half of the first-level masters in Beimang by yourself, the loss is more than 100,000 cavalry?
Afterwards, he retreated calmly and completely under the heavy siege of the Bi control army in Xihezhou who held the command of command Helian Wuwei.
Coupled with his previous record in Zhulu Mountain.
It can be said that the demonic energy spreads across thirty thousand miles, and the light of a sword chills nineteen states.
Such a terrifying record was unprecedented and unprecedented. Even if the other masters of Wu Ping had a cumulative record, they could not compare to Chi Yao alone.
Therefore, it is temporarily ranked second.
…
…
"interesting."
Nowadays, the streets and alleys are full of discussions about the rankings of the New Wushu Review, and Chi Yao has naturally heard about it.
The ranking of No. 2 in the world did not surprise him, but the additional comments that followed made him laugh out loud.
“You’re really going to any lengths just to keep the flames high!”
He shook his head. He had obviously never used a sword, but his comment about "a sword's light is cold" was clearly meant to stimulate the new sword god Deng Tai'a, who was originally ranked second. He also said that Beimang's battle damage exceeded ten
Wan Qi was obviously stepping on the Wu Family Sword Tomb where Nine Swords defeated Wan Qi.
If others don’t know about Deng Tai’a’s origins, how can the Liyang royal family still be ignorant?
Nine swords defeating ten thousand cavalry is the most impressive achievement of the Wu family's sword tomb. Even if Deng Tai'a does not have a good relationship with the Wu's sword tomb, how can he remain indifferent when his ancestor's achievements are belittled?
As for the one whose record is better than all the martial arts reviewers put together, this is even more unabashedly provocative.
Although the facts are indeed similar, even if Wang Xianzhi penetrated the Dongyue Royal City and killed almost all the masters of Dongyue Sword Pool, the quality cannot be compared with Chi Yao's trip to Beimang.
But even if it is the truth, it does not necessarily have to be told. It should be openly told in the martial arts review. What will other people in the martial arts review think?
Oh, everyone was supposed to be in the martial arts review to earn face, but in the end, my dear, it became a stepping stone for others, and it was just one of the stepping stones. Who can tolerate this?
Chi Yao's guess was accurate.
As soon as this list came out, the world was in an uproar.
In fact, except for a small number of die-hard sword-wielding fans and the remnants of Western Chu who admired Cao Changqing, there was not much disagreement about Chi Yao's ranking second to Wang Xianzhi.
But the key point is that his subsequent comments are really outrageous, and almost stepped on the rest of the nine martial arts critics.
Among those nine people were super popular masters like Wang Xianzhi, Deng Tai'a, and Cao Changqing. So soon, the controversy surrounding the New Wushu Criticism resounded in the streets. Teahouses and restaurants could be seen shouting or even yelling at each other because of disputes over rankings.
The charlatans who fight with each other.
"That's too abominable, sir! Let's go to Liaodong?"
A young man dressed as a bookboy led an old donkey and said to the middle-aged man next to him with an indignant look.
The middle-aged man had an ordinary appearance, except that the corners of his mouth were habitually raised, making him look like he was always smiling. Along with this, his face, which was not very outstanding, also became softer and gentler. He was holding a branch that he picked from nowhere.
peach blossoms, gently twirling his fingers, looking up at the boy's bitter face, smiling and joking: "Why, aren't you willing to go over there and eat sand?"
Hearing his master's teasing, the book boy stared at first, and then said angrily: "This is for your face, master! Didn't you listen to what they are saying now? It's not enough that that guy took your place, he obviously
Without a sword, how can one sword light up the nineteen states..."
"hehe……"
Looking at the young man's aggrieved look, Deng Tai'a smiled and said, "Face is earned by oneself, not given by others. The comments are not wrong. Compared with his achievements, those of mine in the past are indeed not good.
Countertop. But..."
The peach blossom branch in his hand paused suddenly, "There is nothing wrong with going to Liang Liao. What I, Deng Tai'a, practice is killing people with swordsmanship. The Beimang army is coming, and there are hundreds of thousands of good heads. It's a pity that I don't need to sharpen my sword."
Already."
"Great!"
Seeing that the master had regained his energy, the boy immediately cheered, "The martial arts review said that Chi Yao killed as many as one hundred thousand cavalrymen. Master, you should set a small target this time and kill two hundred thousand to show them who it is."
Better results!"
"You..."
Deng Tai'a shook his head and ignored the little book boy's nonsense. He pulled the donkey and turned to the north.
…
…
A similar situation also occurred in Emperor Wu City.
Unlike Deng Tai'a who lived alone and had only one attendant, the sword boy Sanlu, Wang Xianzhi, who was invincible for a period of time in Emperor Wu's city, had countless die-hard fans under his command.
Among them, there were those who admired him and came to be his disciples, and there were also martial slaves who came to challenge him and were defeated and sincerely surrendered to his service.
In the past, most of these martial slaves were responsible for filtering challengers on Wang Xianzhi's behalf. Only after defeating six martial slaves in a row could one be truly qualified to face Wang Xianzhi.
As the saying goes, there are three ranks of officials in front of the prime minister.
Although these people have the word "slave" in their names, they are actually quite capable. In the past, they were all masters in the world. Now that they have joined Wang Xianzhi's sect, their temperaments have become even better.
"Hmph, Emperor Liyang is really unreliable. Nowadays, cats and dogs can be on the martial arts review, and he still dares to give such comments. It's really..."
"The master ignores such clowns, but we slaves cannot ignore them."
"But we cannot leave the city without permission from the master."
"It's not that you can't leave the city, it's that you can't leave the city alone."
"Huh? You mean?"
"Haha, Master has always looked down on the barbarians in Beimang, even Tuoba Bodhisattva. But with his name being so despised, how can Emperor Wu City remain indifferent? As the saying goes, if the master has something to do, the disciple will do his duty..."
"wonderful!"
Wang Xianzhi has been in the Emperor Wu City for a long time and has met countless heroes, but he only accepted four direct disciples.
It just so happened that at this moment, someone was discussing this matter on the top floor of the Jiebing Building in Emperor Wu City.
"Master, let us go this time."
Lou Huang looked sincerely at the burly old man in linen clothes and linen shoes standing at the window overlooking the city.
"You guys? Although that northern barbarian will be left behind by me for the rest of his life, his martial arts cultivation at this time is almost the same as mine thirty years ago."
Wang Xianzhi has been sitting in Emperor Wu City for a period of time. Even thirty years ago, he was already invincible in the world.
"Of course it's not to compete with that demon lord."
The eldest disciple Yu Groom smiled gently, "Well, it's not that I don't compete with him, I don't compete with him directly. Didn't the martial arts review say that his record is comparable to a hundred thousand iron hoofs? It just so happens that there are many of them in Liangliao now, and a few of us can't.
Let’s go and brush up on our record, our Emperor City can’t be too far behind others, right?”
"Oh? Hahahahaha——"
After hearing what the two apprentices said, Wang Xianzhi couldn't help laughing loudly, "Okay! You can go ahead! If you meet Chi Yao, give me a message."
"Master, please speak."
"Just say that I will wait for him in Emperor Wu City."
