Villain: Who said I came here to break off the engagement?

But there are exceptions. For example, the eldest prince has shallow virtues, mediocre abilities, and indulges in pleasure all day long. The emperor thinks that he is not up to the task and will pass the throne to other princes to avoid a tyrant who will ruin the country.

But it is rumored that the crown prince of the Dawu Dynasty is not an ordinary person. He is quite resourceful and has close contacts with many civil and military officials, and many people support him.

In this case, it is almost impossible for the second prince to compete for the position of crown prince.

Unless the eldest prince commits an unforgivable crime, which makes the emperor disgusted and makes the civil and military officials who support him alienated, there may be a glimmer of hope, otherwise it is impossible.

Li Guanhai continued to pick up dishes and eat by himself.

Xun Yang did not stay for long. After chatting with Yu Yinian and others for a while, he left.

After the door was closed, the head of the Bing family asked, "Hey, what do you think the second prince came to us for?"

Yu Yinian smiled and said, "He didn't just come to us, he must have also visited the houses in Yuzhou and Yunzhou. As for his intention, think about the current situation in the court, don't you understand?"

"To win over?" The head of the Bing family was not stupid, and he immediately thought of the key to the problem.

"That's right." Yu Yinian nodded.

The head of the Zongheng family was an old man. He raised his head and took a sip of wine, saying, "Our Qijue Sect is a place to train talents for the court. We have trained imperial doctors, generals, imperial tutors, chief assistants, six ministers, the director of the Imperial College, and Hanlin Academy scholars. Even the current old prince of the Baiwang Mansion has been a disciple of the Qijue Sect."

"Although the second prince has supporters in the court, he cannot compare with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It is not surprising that he would come to win over the future pillars of the country of our Qijue Sect."

After dinner, they rested for a while, and everyone left the high building and returned to the martial arts field.

The commander of the imperial army, You Jing, announced the start of the competition. Li Guanhai wanted to digest the food in his stomach, but his name appeared in the first round.

His opponent was a disciple of the Yuzhou Music Family, a woman, and one of Shen Yuyu's beauties, named Fan Tong.

Seeing this name, Li Guanhai couldn't help but think of the homophonic pun in his mind. Fan Tong, this name is really bad.

Walking into the arena, Li Guanhai looked at the beautiful woman in palace clothes, curious about what musical instrument she could play.

After Fan Tong stood still, she bowed and saluted: "Fan Tong, a disciple of the Yuzhou Qijuemen Music Family, please teach me."

Li Guanhai also introduced himself, and the competition officially began.

Fan Tong flipped her white hands, and a guqin appeared. She sat back, the guqin was horizontal in front of her, and her two white hands plucked the strings.

Clang clang——

The dull music sounded suddenly, and several thin light blades like cicada wings suddenly shot out like a swimming dragon.

Is this a test?

Li Guanhai raised his lips slightly, and when the blade of light slashed in front of him, he pushed the sword jaw with his right thumb, and drew the sword out of the sheath with his left hand.

Dangdangdang--

Several iron-like sounds burst out, and Li Guanhai's feet took root, and his white shirt was blown by the scattered energy.

Fan Tong had a rough idea of ​​this fight, and she bent her ten fingers slightly, grabbed the strings and plucked them fiercely.

Zhengzheng--

A harsh sound like the corner of an iron table dragging on the ground sounded, and invisible sound waves surrounded from all directions, impacting Li Guanhai's eardrums and nerves. He covered his ears, his expression painful, and his mind was in a trance.

"Oops!"

A group of Jiangzhou Qijuemen disciples secretly said that it was not good.

"Good opportunity!"

Fan Tong was delighted, and she gathered strength with one hand and plucked it, and the music condensed into a huge light green vertical blade of light and slashed it, and the ground was cut with a wrist-thick crack wherever it passed.

But at this moment, Li Guanhai, who was originally covering his ears in a trance, took a step to the left, turned sideways, and actually dodged the huge light blade.

He stepped on the ground with his toes, approached Fan Tong with his sword, and the air made a sharp sound.

Fan Tong was startled, and her ten fingers clasped the strings of the zither, and a circle of light shield spread out.

The sword pierced the light shield and was isolated outside. Before Fan Tong could fight back, the light shield shattered, and the cold sword stabbed straight at her.

"This man is so strong!"

Fan Tong gritted her teeth, and green light appeared in her palm, and a jade flute appeared.

Ding——

The sword and the flute collided, and Fan Tong's arm trembled, her tiger's mouth was numb, and she almost couldn't hold the jade flute.

She was even more shocked in her heart. This seemingly light sword actually contained such a powerful power.

However, she was not panicked, and plucked the guqin with her other hand, plucking a few light blades to force it back.

But it was not that simple. Li Guanhai shook his wrist, and the sword flashed. A sword net was interwoven in front of him, crushing the blade.

A cold light slipped out from the dazzling sword net and went straight to the opponent's heart.

Fan Tong raised the jade flute and hit the sword tip.

Crack--

Half of the jade flute broke, a splash of blood splashed, and a blood mark appeared on the back of her white hand.

Fan Tong knew that she would lose if she continued to be entangled like this. She hugged the guqin and tried to jump back with the soles of her feet. Suddenly, she felt a chill on her neck. When she looked down, a shining long sword was already on her neck.

"I lost." Fan Tong's beautiful face showed a little bitterness.

Li Guanhai raised the sword blade, and the cold sword body was close to the opponent's white neck, and he deliberately rubbed it back and forth twice.

Fan Tong's delicate body trembled and looked up.

Li Guanhai took back his sword first, bowed and smiled, "Thank you."

Fan Tong pursed her red lips and turned around and left.

Li Guanhai also returned to his own formation, and naturally he was greeted with several thumbs up.

"Wow, Senior Brother Zhao, when did your swordsmanship become so powerful!"

"Too strong, he defeated his opponent without even using Confucian magic. I heard that Fan Tong was pretty good in the Yuzhou Qijue Sect, but I didn't expect him to be defeated like this."

Li Guanhai sat back in his seat, picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Just lucky."

He also wanted to be a lucky guy.

On the other side, Fan Tong returned to the Yuzhou Qijue Sect formation.

Shen Yuyu glanced at her, and then his eyes fell on the white back of her hand that was still bleeding, and asked: "Are you okay?"

"Skin injury." Fan Tong shook her head, took out the hemostatic medicine and applied it to the wound, saying: "That person is very strong, if you meet him, you must not be careless."

As she said, she raised her white hand and touched the place where Li Guanhai rubbed with his sword.

Wei Lan, who seemed to be a woman of luck, held one of Shen Yuyu's beauties in one hand, glanced at the Jiangzhou square formation, and smiled: "It doesn't matter, I will take action."

In another stand, Bai Mu, the prince of Bai Wangfu, stood up and came to Xun Huaixin, the Marquis of Xiaoyao, and greeted him first, then looked at Qin Shu, "Miss, why don't you see Brother Li?"

Qin Shu took out a pen and paper, thought for a long time and wrote: "He didn't come."

"Is he sick?" Bai Mu asked.

Qin Shu nodded.

"I see, that's a pity, the Seven Absolute Sect Competition is held every seven years, Brother Li doesn't have this blessing." Bai Mu sighed, and then said: "Okay, then I will visit you when I am free."

After that, he turned and left.

Qin Shu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little guilty, and didn't know if his answer would cause trouble to Li Guanhai.
