The heavens are kings, starting with Qing Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 55 Siege
On the edge of the ring, Li Chengqian watched this scene calmly and silently.

In fact, with his status, he can completely decide the position of guard commander.

But there will definitely be people in the East Palace who will be convinced.

Therefore, he set up this competition in order to establish the prestige of the shocking salamander in the East Palace.

Then the reason why Xie Bi'an has the title of the fastest sword in Kyoto is also because of his reputation of fighting with each sword.

As long as the startled salamander wins the final victory in this competition and becomes the commander of the guards, then it seems logical to take over the position of commander of the left guard.

After that, you can gradually start to intervene and adjust this army that belongs exclusively to the East Palace.

Most of the time, the role of the military is beyond the reach of individuals.

Si Gu Jian claims that one person guards one city, but it is only through the joint efforts of dozens of ninth ranks under his command that he can truly affect the success or failure of a small war.

If hundreds of thousands of troops were to crush them, Si Gu Jian would block them with his head?
Of course, it might not be possible for Si Gu Jian to confront head-on, but as long as the great master does not love to fight, no one can stop him if he wants to leave.

And once the grand master escaped, it would be a nightmare for countless high-level officials in the Qing Kingdom.

No high-level military or political officer would want a grand master to stare at him secretly.

High-level fear, so many soldiers are useless.

This is the reason why the great master can sit in a country's terror deterrent power.

That's why no one ever thought of destroying such a palm-sized Dongyi.

The war between Northern Qi and Nanqing has never been fought in the direction of destroying the country.

Even if Nanqing's military strength is invincible in the world.

But as long as the great master is around for a day, no one will dare to easily destroy either Dongyi or Beiqi.

The reason why Emperor Qing knew this, he would not hesitate to endure it for decades, but also figured out how to get rid of Si Gu Jian and Ku He.

Of course, all of this was based on the premise that Qing had a sufficiently strong army.

A sufficiently strong army is the basis for Emperor Qing's ambition to unify the world.

Although there are only about 2000 people in the Six Commands of the East Palace, most of them are the children of rich officials and eunuchs. Even the soldiers at the bottom can basically be regarded as Yunwen Yunwu.

Otherwise, there is no qualification to join the East Palace at all.

Maybe many of them are not high enough to be low enough, but as long as they are selected and rectified, after specific training, they can become a qualified mid-level general in the future, at least it should be easy to be a small banner officer with a hundred people.

In this way, once it takes off, it can easily control an army of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Moreover, with the snare in hand, the state of the East Palace, which is leaking everywhere, should also change.

Next, he planned to use a year to manage the East Palace well, not to mention that the water would not get in, but at least it would form an iron plate.

After all, no matter how much he stirs up wind and rain outside, the East Palace is his current real foundation.

But other than that, he was actually somewhat curious about the specific strength of the startled salamander.

In the middle of the arena, under the ferocious and killing breath of the startled salamander, Hu Yong couldn't help swallowing, and pulled out the dagger beside him quite solemnly.

He had a premonition that he might only have one chance to move, so he must do his best for this move.

Holding the cold knife in his hand made him a little more stable.

Without saying any more nonsense, he took a stride, and the short knife in his hand turned into a strange light, and went straight to the white neck of the startled salamander.

Seeing this, the eyes of those who were on the sidelines from the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace all brightened.

They have known each other for many years, so they naturally know Hu Yong's level. In their opinion, Hu Yong's knife is done in one go, smoothly, and his strength is concentrated. for a while.

Meng Huai was also shocked. Although he was also a seventh rank, he usually didn't pay much attention to Hu Yong, the deputy commander of the right commander.

But right now Hu Yong's saber actually made him feel a bit invincible, it's really hard to calm down.

Of course, he was also a little curious, how would this woman of unknown origin respond to Hu Yong's super-level attack?

The startled salamander's response was very simple, she just stood there calmly, and the moment Hu Yong approached, she drew her sword, and a crimson sword light appeared like a rainbow.

With a soft cry, the short knife in Hu Yong's hand flew up high. The hand holding the knife was dripping with blood and trembling constantly, but his whole body froze in place, not daring to move a single bit rashly.

Because a hair-blowing and hair-cutting sword lay across his neck, and it even penetrated into the flesh a little, and blood gushed out.

He clearly felt that as long as the sword went one inch deeper, it would directly cut his throat.

Even though he knew that this was a competition and that no one would die, but when he saw the indifferent and cold eyes of the startled salamander, he couldn't firmly believe in his own judgment.

At this moment, he only felt that he had never been closer to death than now.

He held his breath subconsciously, and the violent heartbeat seemed to shake his brain.

Until the next moment, after he felt the cold long sword across his neck leave, he finally couldn't help breathing heavily.

There is a feeling of being alive again suddenly.

At this time, the startled salamander had put the sword into its sheath, and then calmly said: "You lost."

Hearing the cold voice in his ears, Hu Yong's expression could not help but a bit of bitterness, and he was about to say something, but with a swish, his short knife that was knocked into the air suddenly fell from a high place, less than three inches away from him. He was so startled that half of the blade directly sank into the bluestone ground, and he couldn't speak any more words.

With a wry smile, he suddenly pulled out the dagger with his still intact palm, and walked towards the stage weakly.

He lost, a crushing failure, and there was nothing to refute.

Off the court, all the six leaders of the Eastern Palace, including Meng Huai, were full of disbelief and shock.

They thought that the person the prince recruited might be very strong, but they never thought that they would be so strong.

In just an instant, he defeated Hu Yong of the seventh rank neatly.

Especially the sword just now still makes their hearts throbbing.

Izumo also had bright eyes, and said in his heart, what a strong sister.

In the future, if the prince has such a person to protect him, she will feel much more at ease.

At this moment, almost all the people in the Six Commands of the Eastern Palace fell silent.

Because they have vaguely guessed the strength of the startling salamander.

Nine products!

This made them feel bitter.

There are not many such masters in the entire Qing Kingdom.

Fighting alone, their chances of winning are almost close to nothing.

So, after looking at each other, they stepped out one after another.

A moment later, except for Hu Yong who had already been defeated, all the people from the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace who came here today had already entered the martial arts arena, and they surrounded the startled salamanders in the center in a seemingly well-organized formation.

Since it was impossible to fight alone, they naturally had to fight side by side.

As for being shameless or not, it's all about winning first.
