Man Tanghong

Chapter 403 Competing Skills (Another [-]-word Chapter)
Li Yuanji knew what Ling Jing wanted to say, but he kept a gloomy face and said nothing.

Ling Jing must want to say that Kan Leng is desperate.

Because anyone with a discerning eye could see that Kan Leng was desperate.

It's just that for some unknown reason, Ling Jing just kept saying 'this, this, this', but didn't say it out loud.

It may be due to his status as a colleague, and he does not want to lose Kan Leng's prestige; it may also be that he does not want to draw conclusions prematurely due to the lack of results.

Li Yuanji was a little regretful that he had said something dead together just now, otherwise he would be able to admit defeat for Kan Leng now.

The reason why Kan Leng was fighting desperately with Yu Chigong was partly because he wanted to win for him, and partly because he said on the high platform just now that he would not admit defeat.

It was all for him anyway, not for himself at all.

Li Yuanji once again complained in his heart that Kan Leng is stubborn, and then gave Ren Gui a look.

He had already said that if he would not admit defeat for his subordinates, then he would not be able to renege on his promise in public, so he could only let Ren Gui speak.

Ren Gui is old and has become the third in command of Daxingtai in Hebei Province, so she is qualified to disobey his will and admit defeat for Kan Leng under such circumstances.

As for letting him watch Kan Leng go all out for a useless gasp, that's simply impossible.

Fighting for breath in this kind of occasion will not affect anything at all.

It will only embarrass Yuchi Gong, and it will only make Li Shimin look bad.

Other than that, there is no benefit.

Maybe he will have feud with Yu Chigong, maybe he will be remembered by Li Shimin.

So it doesn't matter if you don't argue with this tone, and there is no need to fight with your life.

Li Yuanji was not a person with a particularly good face, and he didn't care much about his illusory face.

If he could let Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin give up fighting and start to live in harmony by giving up his face, he would not hesitate to give up his face.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing is impossible to happen.

He also didn't need the people under his command to fight with their lives just to save him face.

Not only him, most of the people in the future who have invaded the society for a long time would not be able to trade their lives for the sake of face.

It's not that the vast majority of people in later generations don't care about face, but the vast majority of people in later generations know better that fate is more important than face.

Seeing Li Yuanji's eyes, Ren Gui was stunned for a moment, then understood Li Yuanji's meaning in an instant, and immediately said with a smile: "I think General Yuchi won this match, why don't we just let it go and continue the competition. I'm afraid I'm going to lose my temper."

Speaking of this, Ren Gui looked specifically at Li Shimin and said, "Your Highness doesn't want to lose your temper even if you want to come, doesn't you?"

Li Shimin's eyes lingered on Ren Gui for a while, then took another look at Li Yuanji, and then said cheerfully: "Guan Gong's words are right, I will tell Jingde to stop."

In Li Shimin's view, Yu Chigong had beaten Kan Leng badly enough, and had taken advantage of it enough.

If the fight continued, Kan Leng would be seriously injured ninety-nine percent of the time.

Really can't fight anymore.

Immediately, Li Shimin will order someone to tell Yu Chigong to stop.

Kan Leng, who was competing in the arena, seemed to feel that the people on the high platform had surrendered for him, so he roared, completely gave up his defense, and at the cost of being seriously injured by Yu Chigong, he carried a knife to attack Yu Chigong .

Under the shopping regardless of the cost, he successfully opened a big gap in Yu Chigong's body.

He was also broken by Yu Chigong's Tie Guduo and passed out.

Seeing this, Li Shimin stared straight at his eyes and said, "A real warrior."

It is also a dying struggle, Du Ruhui is shameful if he is still dying when Ling Jing has already kept his hand, and Kan Leng is a warrior if he goes shopping when Yu Chigong has not kept his hand.

Li Shimin, as a commander, as a general on horseback, as a fan of famous generals, naturally prefers warriors.

So without hesitation, I praised it.

Li Yuanji was bleeding in his heart, and subconsciously looked at Xie Shufang and the others, hoping that Xie Shufang and the others would not be as stupid as Kan Leng, but after seeing Xie Shufang and the others' gazes became firm and heavy, the blood dripping from his heart more.

Obviously, Kan Leng's bloody fight to the death gave them a 'good start'.

If they can't hold on and admit defeat afterwards, or if they work hard, then Kan Leng's blood will be shed in vain.

Therefore, when they face the 'challenge' later, they will definitely cheer up 120,000 points and treat it with the same attitude as Kan Leng.

But he couldn't persuade him on this occasion.

Because when Yu Chigong competed with Kan Leng, it belonged to the above and below, and Kan Leng was on the weak side in all aspects. It is also known that Kan Leng cannot be Yu Chigong's opponent.

So when he persuaded Kan Leng, no one would think it was wrong if he even said that it would boost other people's ambitions and destroy his prestige, and no one would think that he was cowardly.

But when Xie Shufang and others went out to compete, he couldn't say such things, and he couldn't say them.

Because Xie Shufang and the others are not weak in every aspect, no matter whether it is against any of Li Shimin's subordinates, they will not be on the weak side, so he can't say words to Xie Shufang and the others to boost other people's ambitions and destroy their own prestige.

Otherwise, it will definitely be considered cowardly.

It will also bear the name of Xie Shufang and others, which will make Xie Shufang and others feel dissatisfied.

He didn't care about face, nor did he care about the tone.

But Xie Shufang and others don't necessarily care.

So he could only look at Ling Jing, hoping that Ling Jing would say a few words for him.

After Ling Jing felt his gaze, he immediately understood what he meant.

It's just that Ling Jing responded with a wry smile and didn't speak.

Obviously, Ling Jing also knew that Xie Shufang and the others would feel dissatisfied if such words were spoken out, and they were unwilling to offend others.

"I'll do it next time!"

After Li Yuanji looked away from Ling Jing and ordered someone to carry Ling Jing back to Jiulongtan Mountain for treatment, Xie Shufang didn't wait for Li Shimin to open his mouth again, he stood up resolutely and volunteered.

Faced with this kind of person who took the initiative to come to the door for a beating, Li Shimin naturally smiled, and readily agreed to Xie Shufang's request.

He also greeted him and asked who would accompany Xie Shufang.

For an instant.

Among the generals of Tiance Mansion, those who hold the title of Duke of the Kingdom, almost all stood up.

Li Shimin ordered Qin Qiong's general almost without hesitation, and asked Qin Qiong to accompany Xie Shufang.

Qin Qiong was nearly a round older than Xie Shufang, his martial arts were superior to Xie Shufang's, and his methods were more sophisticated than Xie Shufang's. It was almost impossible for Xie Shufang to defeat Qin Qiong.

If it takes more than ten years, Xie Shufang can beat Qin Qiong.

After all, more than ten years later, Qin Qiong's peak period has passed, and Xie Shufang's peak period has come.

Regardless of Qin Qiong's serious illness, Qin Qiong can't beat Xie Shufang.

It's not that Qin Qiong's martial arts will not increase with age, but that the generals will decline when they get older. Even if the martial arts and methods are higher and more sophisticated, their physical strength is not enough to support them to compete with the generals in their prime.

This is why the general is afraid of being late.

It's not that the generals are afraid of old age, but that they are afraid of old age. Their eyesight, experience, martial arts, and means have all reached the peak, but their physical strength can't support them to rule the roost on the battlefield.

Kong has a whole body of ability, but he can't use it, and the kind of suffering and loneliness that he can't use is what the generals fear most.

It's a pity that this competition cannot be postponed to more than ten years later, so Xie Shufang can only face Qin Qiong who is at his peak.

So Xie Shufang is doomed to lose.

The only thing he can fight for is to inflict more injuries on Qin Qiong and save more face before losing.

Neither Xie Shufang nor Qin Qiong were procrastinators. After deciding on the competition, they decisively walked to the arena with their weapons in hand and started the competition directly.

Xie Shufang used the gun, while Qin Qiong took a spear.

After a simple trial, the desperate competition began.

Qin Qiong seemed to know that Xie Shufang would fight with his life like Kan Leng, so after the test, he started to work hard without hesitation.

Qin Qiong fully demonstrated what it means to be a lion fighting a rabbit and you have to go all out.

The reason why Li Shimin asked Qin Qiong to compete with Xie Shufang was probably due to Qin Qiong's characteristic of going all out in the face of any opponent.

Li Shimin didn't want Qin Qiong and Xie Shufang to fight as badly as Yu Chigong and Kan Leng, but hoped that Qin Qiong could crush his opponents.

Facts have proved that Li Shimin's choice was correct. Qin Qiong did defeat Xie Shufang in a devastating manner, but the ending should be different from what Li Shimin thought.

Xie Shufang finally made a hole in Qin Qiong's body, not a small hole.

Although he has more holes in his body.

Li Yuanji's heart was bleeding again, and after sending someone to stop Xie Shufang's bleeding, he quickly sent Xie Shufang back to Jiulongtan Mountain for treatment.

Afterwards, with blood dripping from his heart, Li Yuanji sent his subordinates back to Jiulongtan Mountain one by one.

When the competition is completely over.

Apart from Ling Jing's unexpected win, Ren Gui also managed to win a trick when facing Qu Tutong.

Almost all the rest were lost.

The worst loser was Quan Xu. He faced Li Junxian first, and then drew with Li Junxian.

Then he took the initiative to ask for another fight, and faced Zhang Liang.

That Zhang Liang who had adopted [-] adopted sons in history was beheaded by Li Shimin for the crime of treason.

Zhang Liang poked six holes in his body.

There was a hole right next to the vitals and almost killed him instantly.

……

evening.

After Li Yuanji declined Li Shimin's invitation to a banquet, he hurried back to Jiulongtan Mountain, and when he arrived at Chang'an Xinglu, where a group of Xinglin masters temporarily stayed, he saw a lot of mummies.

Kan Leng, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanshu, etc. were almost all wrapped in gauze, and the most tightly wrapped one was Quan Xu, who was the most injured.

Li Yuanji opened his mouth, wanting to reproach him, but swallowed the words again.

In the end, not only did he not say a word of reproach, but he also encouraged him with a serious face: "Although you lost more than you won today, you showed the blood and vigor of my family.

After you recover from your injuries, I will definitely host a banquet to entertain you, and there will be many rewards.

Let's recuperate here. "

Kan Leng and Xie Shufang, who were able to speak, even declined one or two.

After all, although Li Yuanji praised them, if they didn't win, they didn't win. If they didn't win Li Yuanji's face, they didn't win Li Yuanji's face.

They were really ashamed to take Li Yuanji's reward.

Regardless of their refusals, Li Yuanji insisted on finalizing the matter, and then walked away. When he reached the gate of the thatched cottage, he suddenly said, "From now on, Kan Leng, you can serve as a deputy under Ziwei."

Kan Ling is a bit too straightforward.

If you want to be useful, you must re-tune it.

It's just that Li Yuanji doesn't have that much leisure time, so he can only hand over Kan Leng to Ren Gui's subordinates for Ren Gui's training.

I hope he can follow Ren Guixue's tact and stop being so straightforward.

Although Xie Shufang is also upright, but his uprightness is in the right place, he is only upright in terms of rules and legal principles, unlike Kan Leng, his whole body is full of uprightness, and there is no flexibility at all.

So it is necessary to train, to train deeply.

A mentor like Ren Gui who can train three celebrities and famous generals in history is undoubtedly the best candidate to train Kan Leng.

Li Yuanji walked out of Chang'an Xinglu's thatched hut where a group of apricot grove masters temporarily stayed, walked towards the twilight, and sighed a long while walking towards the courtyard of the jingshe.

Ren Gui who was following heard Li Yuanji's sigh and couldn't help but said, "Your Highness is not happy?"

Li Yuanji said in a bad mood: "There are only a few useful people under my hands, and now they are all disabled. Can I be happy?"

Ren Gui stroked her long beard and suddenly smiled, "Don't your Highness think this is a good thing?"

Li Yuanji was taken aback, and looked at Ren Gui in astonishment.

Where is it? !
Ren Gui explained with a smile: "Didn't Your Highness see that today's show was specially created by His Highness King Qin?"

Li Yuanji nodded, of course he saw this, and he saw it when Li Shimin summoned all the generals of Tiance Mansion to Nanyuan Hunting Ground.

Li Shimin wanted to find fault and avenge his previous beating in front of the Tai Chi Hall.

But is this a good thing?

Ren Gui continued with a smile: "Your Highness thinks, why does His Highness King Qin do this? Is it just to show his prestige in front of His Highness, is it just to prove that his generals are better than His Highness's generals?"

Li Yuanji understood the meaning of Ren Gui's words in an instant.

Li Shimin was still worried about him, even if he had put down his guard against him, he still wanted to maim all the people under him, so that he could not participate in the battle between him and Li Jiancheng in a short time.

Li Shimin did this to ensure nothing goes wrong.

It is also to concentrate all thoughts and strength to deal with Li Jiancheng.

"If what I expected is correct, His Highness the King of Qin should soon attack His Highness the Crown Prince, and the methods should be more ruthless than ever. If His Highness wants to do something, he should make some preparations as soon as possible."

Seeing that Li Yuanji was silent, Ren Gui knew that Li Yuanji understood what he said, so she expressed her guess on her own.

Li Yuanji frowned subconsciously, secretly startled.

There is a high probability that Ren Gui's guess is true.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Li Shimin didn't leave any room in the previous competition.

Logically speaking, when Li Shimin's people got more money, they had to give up two or three games anyway, so that everyone's faces would look better.

He and Li Shimin are not life and death enemies yet, if Li Shimin has no other intentions, it is impossible to leave no room for him.

But Li Shimin did not leave any room, which shows that Li Shimin has other thoughts.

And Li Shimin's thoughts are likely to be what Ren Gui guessed.

He has always relied too much on history, always subconsciously connecting the struggle between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng with everything that happened in history.

So much so that after discovering that Li Shimin's visitor was not kind, he didn't think about it at all.

Now he was reminded by Ren Gui that he found out.

Things have already deviated from the rules of history. Many things that should and will happen in history have not happened now. Many things that will happen in a few years in history are already happening now, or have happened.

So he can no longer rely on what has happened in history to measure the struggle between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.

He must re-understand and re-examine the struggle between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.

Li Yuanji thought of this, and said deeply: "From what you said, it is really possible. What do you think my second brother will do?"

Ren Gui was stunned, and smiled wryly: "This minister can't say for sure. After all, His Royal Highness King Qin will not tell the minister about his plans. However, judging from what His Royal Highness King Qin has done today and the way he behaved in the past, His Royal Highness King Qin has There are two possible approaches."

Li Yuanji questioned: "The two aspects?"

Ren Gui pondered and said: "One of them should be the female family members in the palace. His Royal Highness uses the female family members in the palace to plot against His Highness King Qin, and His Highness King Qin will also use the female family members in the palace to plot His Highness the Prince. human body.

The second should be soldiers and horses. This is where His Highness the Crown Prince is weak and where His Royal Highness King Qin is strong.

What His Royal Highness Qin Wang did in the Nanyuan hunting ground today also confirmed this point. "

Speaking of this, Ren Gui specifically looked at Li Yuanji, and said: "If His Highness King Qin does not start with soldiers and horses, there is no need to seriously injure Kan Leng and the others, let alone leave His Highness with no leeway.

His Royal Highness King Qin did this because he wanted to start with soldiers and horses, but he was afraid that His Highness would suddenly lead troops out to disrupt the situation? "

After listening to Ren Gui's words, Li Yuanji nodded deeply, and sighed sincerely, "My elder brother is definitely blind if he doesn't reuse you."

Ren Gui could easily see Li Shimin's intentions, and also use this to easily analyze the direction of Li Shimin's attack.

With the help of Ren Gui, even if they can't win against Li Shimin, they won't lose too badly.

It is not unreasonable for Li Jiancheng to lose this kind of talent instead of using a group of relatives who are not top-notch.

Ren Gui bowed down and said humbly: "Your Highness is serious. If His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't use ministers highly, it must be because he feels that the ministers are not capable enough."

Li Yuanji took a deep look at Ren Gui.

He felt that Ren Guiming was being humble on the surface, but he was actually mocking Li Jiancheng.
