Man Tanghong

Chapter 399
Not long after Li Shimin's order was conveyed, Cao Dan arrived.

Cao Dan was wearing a light red military uniform with a martial crown on his head. He was not tall, but he was very strong. With a trace of white hair on his temples, he looked old.

Speaking of which, Li Yuanji and Cao Dan are also somewhat destined.

Cao Dan is Dou Yu's uncle, and Li Yuanji is Dou Yu's "adoptive father".

Rounding up is tantamount to relatives.

But this was the first time Li Yuanji saw Cao Dan.

So I couldn't help but take a closer look.

There is nothing special, and it gives people a feeling that strangers should not get close.

Even facing Ling Jing, an old friend from the past, he was neither salty nor salty.

It was only when facing Li Shimin that he showed a little respect.

After Li Shimin ordered Cao Dan to catch up with Ling Jing, he said to Li Yuanji with a smile: "How about it, do you want to find another old friend for you to catch up with?"

Li Yuanji shook his head and refused without hesitation.

In a short period of time, he has no interest in reminiscing about the past with those old people under Li Shimin.

Li Shimin is now at the most critical time, everyone looks like a 'troublemaker', he managed to weaken Li Shimin's defense against him.

In case he catches up with the old people under Li Shimin's hands, they insist on following him.

Then Li Shimin had to guard against him again.

Therefore, at this time, he couldn't provoke Li Shimin.

Seeing Li Yuanji shaking his head, Li Shimin continued with a smile, "Since you don't want to reminisce about the past, how about we just start practicing skills?"

Li Yuanji curled his lips indistinctly.

When fighting in groups, just talk about fighting in groups, and talk about skill exercises.

Don't you think it's hypocritical?

Li Yuanji murmured in his heart, but still agreed: "Then let's start."

Li Shimin laughed and greeted: "Go and tell Jingde and Zhijie to stop making trouble and start a formal contest. Then ask everyone, who wants to be the first to play."

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, before the messenger left, Fang Xuanling got up without hesitation and said, "Let me be the first to go on stage."

Li Shimin's eyes were full of brilliance, and he praised without hesitation: "Well, well, Xuanling, although you are a civil servant, you still have your spirit. Very well, I will be the first to play."

Fang Xuanling bowed, took the sword from the entourage holding the sword behind him, and resolutely rushed to the center of the arena.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing who was still having an awkward chat with Cao Dan, and mourned for Ling Jing in his heart.

He originally thought that this was a contest between generals and generals, so he brought Ling Jing without asking.

Unexpectedly, Wen Chen also ended up.

Moreover, he is also the most important civil servant under Li Shimin's hands.

If this is the case, Ling Jing will inevitably go to the arena.

After all, even the thin and frail Fang Xuanling was gone, and he still took the lead. Ling Jing, who was a circle stronger than Fang Xuanling, had no room for refusal.

After Fang Xuanling walked to the middle of the arena, he stood with his sword in his hand, and said loudly: "Which colleague is willing to join hands with me?"

"I come!"

A civic official who Li Yuanji had no impression of, striding into the arena with a Tang saber in his hand.

"It's Dai Zhou. He has some martial arts skills. I'm afraid Xuanling will suffer."

Li Shimin said with emotion that he knew the identity of the civil servant.

Li Yuanji's mouth twitched when he heard the word 'Dai Zhou'.

There are so many talents under Li Shimin's hands.

Anyone who walks out with an unremarkable appearance is a famous minister with great reputation in history.

Li Yuanji was so sour that his teeth were about to fall out.

"Brother Xuanling, please!"

"Brother Xuanyin, please!"

Dai Zhou was nearly six years older than Fang Xuanling, so Fang Xuanling called him brother.

Although Dai Zhou's status under Li Shimin's hands is not as high as Fang Xuanling's, but in the same field, one doesn't pay attention to status, and Fang Xuanling can't use his status to suppress others.

One is that he is not this kind of person.

The second is that this occasion is not suitable.

"Shh!"

Fang Xuanling probably knew that there was a gap between himself and Dai Zhou, so he stretched out his sword and grabbed the upper hand.

Dai Zhou was not polite either, and greeted him with a knife.

After blocking Fang Xuanling's attack, Tang Dao unsheathed and attacked Fang Xuanling all at once.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already decided the outcome.

In Li Shimin's mouth, Dai Zhou, who was more skilled than Fang Xuanling in martial arts, actually lost? !

Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin, and really wanted to ask Li Shimin, "Did Dai Zhou release the water?"

But when Li Shimin announced the reward to Fang Xuanling with a happy face, he realized that this kind of ending might not have been caused by Dai Zhou, but had been arranged long ago.

Otherwise, Li Shimin would never be so elated.

From Li Shimin's eyes, it is impossible not to see something strange about Fang Xuanling Sheng.

With Li Shimin's personality, it is impossible for the people under him to play tricks on him under his nose.

So this was obviously arranged long ago, and Li Shimin knew about it.

If Li Yuanji guessed correctly, this match should be a friendly match, and the next match will be serious, and Li Shimin's people will definitely invite his people to end the next match.

"Who's coming next?"

After Li Shimin rewarded Fang Xuanling's party with the precious jade used to engrave the seal, he greeted enthusiastically.

Du Ruhui stood up slowly, glanced enviously at Fang Xuanling, and cupped his hands to Li Shimin, "Brother Xuanling left the stage first and got a seal, I am quite envious.

The next game will be by the minister. "

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, looked at Qu Tutong and the others and joked, "What's wrong with you, how did Xuanling and the others take the lead? Could it be that you can't compete with Xuanling and the others?
Or do you think your martial arts are not as good as Xuan Ling and others? "

Qu Tutong and the others were ashamed.

Qin Qiong coughed and said, "Then leave this match to the minister."

Li Shimin took a deep look at Qin Qiong, and said with concern: "You have been in poor health recently, so you don't have to end today. Let Keming do this one.

After all, Keming had already volunteered. "

Having said that, he looked at Qu Tutong and the others and said, "The next match will be up to you."

Qu Tutong and others all bowed and agreed.

After Qu Tutong and others agreed, Du Ruhui bowed his hands to Li Shimin with a smile and said, "I don't want to wait for others to play like Brother Xuanling. I hope that Your Highness will allow me to take the initiative to choose opponents."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "You are trying to pick someone who is not as good as you, you have bad intentions."

Du Ru smiled darkly and said nothing.

Li Shimin glared at Du Ruhui pretending to be dissatisfied, and then said angrily: "It seems that you are really greedy for the Fang Baoyin in Xuanling's hand, so let you get your wish once."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin waved his sleeves grandly, and said boldly: "You can choose your opponent yourself, but you are not allowed to bully the weak."

Du Ru nodded with a dark smile, and looked at Ling Jing who was having an awkward chat with Cao Dan.

Li Yuanji originally thought that Ling Jing would lose his composure, and was trying to find a way to help Ling Jing out of the siege.

But unexpectedly, after feeling Du Ruhui's gaze, Ling Jing stood up without fear, looked at Du Ruhui with a smile, and said, "It seems that Du Zhonglang has taken a fancy to me. Then I will accompany Du Zhonglang." Just once."

Du Ruhui previously served as a military counselor in Li Shimin's residence, and was promoted to be a Zhonglang not long ago.

So Ling Jing called Du Ruhui Du Zhonglang.

When Du Ruhui heard Ling Jing's words, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and Li Shimin and the others also had a flash of astonishment in their eyes.

But Du Ruhui quickly came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "It seems that Ling Changshi has something to rely on. Since Ling Changshi took the initiative to stand up, then I will not choose others.

Just ask Ling Changshi to come with me. "

Ling Jing was not polite, walked out of the desk, saluted Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, and followed Du Ruhui to the arena.

When he walked to the sidelines, he took a large gun from the weapons rack.

Du Ruhui also took a treasured sword from the weapon rack.

And enter in tandem.

After Ling Jing walked to the center of the arena, he first stretched his muscles and bones, stroked his beard, and then suddenly swung the big gun in his hand, shaking out a gunshot.

Du Ruhui's eyes widened in an instant, and his whole body trembled.

Li Shimin and others also sat up suddenly, looking at Ling Jing in disbelief.

There is a saying that once an expert makes a move, he will know if there is one.

Although Ling Jing just shook a gun flower casually, but this gun flower was enough for most people present to see the depth of Ling Jing's "skill".

The guns that Ling Jing shakes are not complicated, and there is no element of showing off skills at all. Anyone who is familiar with big guns can shake the same guns, but the shaking is as steady as Ling Jing. Seven or eight years of hard training can't do it at all.

The vast majority of people present are experts and know the key to practicing guns.

The key to gun practice is two words, steady and accurate.

Stability means holding the gun steadily and holding the gun steadily.

Accuracy is the accuracy of the gun and the accuracy of the stabbing.

Ling Jing holds the gun very steadily, and can easily control the vibration on the gun when shaking the gun flower.

It can be seen that Ling Jing's spear skills are extremely high.

As for whether it is accurate or not, we can only continue to look down.

But everyone present knew that Du Ruhui had hit the iron plate.

Everyone present also knew that Du Ruhui wanted to pinch Ling Jing as a soft persimmon at first, but they didn't expect that in the end, it seemed that Ling Jing pinched Du Ruhui instead.

After staring at Ling Jing in disbelief for a while, Li Shimin withdrew his gaze, looked at Li Yuanji, and said meaningfully: "Yuanji, I didn't expect the people under your command to hide very deeply."

Li Yuanji opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.

He also just found out that Ling Jing has such a skill.

It's not that Ling Jing hides it very deeply, it's already hidden in the eyes of the sea in the myth.

If Du Ruhui didn't treat Ling Jing like a persimmon and insisted on embarrassing Ling Jing in public, Ling Jing would probably continue to hide, maybe for a lifetime.

Gou Ri's really deserves to be a strategist, dark enough and sinister enough.

This move is definitely prepared for Yin people.

"Shh..."

Just when Li Yuanji was thinking wildly, Du Ruhui, who was riding a tiger, pulled a sword flower and took the lead in attacking.

Ling Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, flicked the big gun, and pulled it out with the sound of breaking wind.

Two thoughts flashed through Du Ruhui's mind.

Hide... or go up to exchange injuries?
