"Come, accompany me to the small lake in the backyard, and let the cool breeze dissipate the alcohol!" Li Daozong put a hand on Qin Mubai's shoulder and said with a smile.
"I'll accompany you." Qin Mubai and Li Daozong walked out of the room and went to the backyard. On the way, Li Daozong stopped two servants and told them to go and do some things. Then they arrived at the small lake.
A small lake with a radius of only a few miles, but it looks very far away at a glance. The color of the autumn water and the long sky is not inferior to that of some famous lakes and rivers. In fact, a person’s personality can also be seen from the layout of his home. Li Daozong's mansion does not look luxurious at all, but it exudes a vigorous and heroic atmosphere unique to the military. Just talking about this small lake, if it were an ordinary wealthy family, they would have to add some small buildings in the center of the lake with corridors and corridors, and put some beautifully decorated cruise ships for entertainment. In the small lake owned by Li Daozong, there is only a small fishing boat with a black roof, which is customary in southern water towns, and is specially used for his fishing.
The two of them stood by the lake and chatted for a few words before the two servants came. One of them was followed by Chen Yan, and the other was holding two long boxes, which they didn't know what they were.
"Yan'er, come here." Li Daozong waved to Chen Yan with a smile. In fact, he is only about forty years old, and Chen Yan's loyalty seems a bit young. But every move he made showed a paternal affection, and there was nothing artificial about it.
In Li Daozong's own words, he is indeed a real person. He doesn't have any excessive airs, nor does he have too many twists and turns. Although he is also very smart, he treats people with sincerity first, and people always feel that there is no sense of distance from him as imagined.
"Why did the prince call me here?" Chen Yan bowed to Li Daozong first, then casually glanced at Qin Mubai beside him and smiled slightly.
"You two come here." Li Daozong called Qin Mubai and Chen Yan to his side, took two long wooden boxes from the servant's hands, and said to them, "My king has a special hobby for weapons throughout his military life. These During the years of marching and fighting, I never stopped collecting magical swords. Here are swords and swords, which I got when I conquered Luoyang. They were treasures of the former Sui royal family. I see you two using swords and swords. Use the sword to give them to you."
"Since it is the prince's beloved thing, how dare we take it away with a sword?" Qin Mubai and Chen Yan said together.
"I'm not busy. I didn't say I would give it to you for free." Li Daozong smiled mysteriously, first opened a box and took out a weapon wrapped in silk. After unfolding it, he suddenly pulled out the handle, a cold light raging amidst the roar of the dragon. It turned out to be a long sword with a blow and broken hair.
"The name of this sword is the 'Guiyi Sword', which emphasizes the word 'righteousness'." After that, Li Daozong pulled out the sword again and said, "This sword is called the 'Qing Sword'. As the name suggests, it is specially designed for Cut off the thread of love. In fact, friendship is often difficult to achieve. Who can achieve unparalleled friendship? Qin Mubai, Chen Yan, I think you two are passionate people and have great loyalty, so this is a pair. One sword and one sword are given to you respectively. But I have a condition. You must defeat me separately before you are qualified to take the sword. Qin Mubai, if you use the sword, I will use the sword. Chen Yan, if you use the sword, I will use the sword. . Do you dare to give it a try?”
"It turns out that the prince is a master of both swords and swords. It's really admirable!" Qin Mubai couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Whether you use a knife or a sword, it all depends on your mind. On the battlefield, anything can be used as a weapon to kill the enemy and protect yourself." Li Daozong said with a smile, "Actually, I have never seriously learned any sword skills. I can't explain why when discussing martial arts with others, but as soon as I go to the battlefield or start a battle, I will devote myself to it, whether it is a sword or a spear or a halberd, it is just like my arms. Any fixed moves, but the key is to use them freely to defeat the enemy. This is my martial arts method, do you hear it clearly?"
"Your Majesty is so courageous. When competing with others, you must first know your way." Chen Yan raised her eyebrows and raised her fists, "Then I won't be polite. Please grant me a sword from your Majesty!"
"Catch the sword!" Li Daozong threw the sword over with a wave of his hand.
Chen Yanqingxiao soared into the air, like a hawk swooping down on top. Her martial arts are light, fast, and dexterous. This leap and pressure were completed in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water. Catching the sword in mid-air, he instantly produced a sword flower and stabbed it towards Li Daozong's head.
"Well done!" Li Daozong roared, neither retreating nor dodging, he waved his arm wildly like sweeping an army, and the long sword drew a column of brilliance like a divine dragon waving its tail, and blocked Chen Chen heavily. On the edge of Yan's sword.
"Bang!" There was a sharp sound, and sparks shot out!
Chen Yan twisted over and fell to the ground, frowning and looking at Li Daozong solemnly.
Qin Mubai's eyes were opened. Offense and defense were two completely different ways of playing. One is light and dexterous and the moves are extremely sophisticated, while the other is opening and closing with great power. In comparison, it was Li Daozong's fierce tiger sweep that completely overwhelmed Chen Yan's spiritual strike.
One force can defeat hundreds of skills. Li Daozong's martial arts has nothing fancy, but it is quite practical. Just like his personality, he is as wise as a fool and has a heavy sword but no sharp edge!
"Your Majesty, you have done a good job, I have no choice but to admit defeat!" After just one move, Chen Yan cupped her fists with both hands, and then handed over the sword, "I can't accept this sword."
"Yan'er, are you worried that my shoulder injury is not healed and you won't exert force?" Li Daozhong chuckled, "I can tell at a glance how good your martial arts are. Don't say I'm alone, I'm afraid it will be more If we go to Qin Mubai, we can't say that we can definitely defeat you if we work together. Please accept the sword!"
Chen Yan smiled to herself and said nothing more. She bowed her hands and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
"The Sword of Love has been buried in my house for nearly twenty years, and today it finally has its owner." Li Daozong smiled, "Yan'er, you are a cold-hearted person on the outside and hot on the inside. If you can cut off love with a sword, don’t be burdened by the mistakes you made. What happened to Zhu Chengwen may be a regret in my life, but I don’t want you to live in this shadow forever.”
Chen Yan nodded silently and stood aside with the sword in hand without saying a word.
"It's your turn, Qin Mubai." Li Daozong laughed, "I'll borrow Yan'er's sword and use it to fight with your sword."
"Your Majesty, it's better not to." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "On the one hand, I will definitely not be able to defeat the prince who has experienced hundreds of battles, and on the other hand, the king is injured, and I can't take advantage of others' danger."
"Come on, why bother talking!" Li Daozong threw the sword in his hand to Qin Mubai without saying a word, then took Chen Yan's sword. With a dexterous flick of his wrist, he drew a sword flower and set up a rear sight. He smiled and said, "I have been working with weapons all my life, but I am not proficient in any of them, but I can play with them a few times. When it comes to swordsmanship, Your Majesty is the best. Most of my only sword moves are I learned it from him. Come and give it a try!”
Qin Mubai held the knife and smiled bitterly in his heart: My sword skills are actually bad enough, that is to say, my marksmanship is just okay under the strong training of my father and Cheng Zhijie. Li Daozong has been on the battlefield for most of his life. He is a fierce tiger walking over the dead bodies. How can I be his opponent? —Well, just think of it as opening my eyes to the fact that every mountain is as high as a mountain, or it can encourage me to practice martial arts diligently in the future!
"Your Majesty, look at the knife!"
Roaring loudly and sharply, spring thunder burst from his tongue, and Qin Mu's white sword swooped in like a tiger. This sword is powerful, domineering and ferocious, and incorporates many of the secrets of the Qin family's Tai Chi gun skills into it.
"Weird move!" Li Daozong frowned and did not dare to raise his eyebrows. He flashed his tiger body and stabbed diagonally with his sword, neutralizing Qin Mubai's strength when his sword power was gradually weakening. Before the move was exhausted, the sword in his hand was like a smart water snake, twisting its body and raising it towards Qin Mubai's shoulder.
Chen Yan, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help being surprised: Just now I saw the prince wielding a sword, with great strength in vertical and horizontal strokes; he immediately changed the sword, but it was also extremely dexterous and swift... He is really a master of swordsmanship, a genius in martial arts!
In the flash of lightning, Qin Mubai's heart tightened, and he hurriedly drew the sword and took half a step back. Just when the tip of the sword was about to pierce his shoulder, the blade was raised in time.
"Dang-chi" followed two sounds. Li Daozong's sword tip actually pierced Qin Mubai's blade. It made a crisp sound like a dragonfly touching water and slid out for half a minute, and then quickly drew the sword back. Three swords and flowers pierced Qin Mubai's face.
"It is indeed no match for him!"
Qin Mubai already understood in his heart that it would be useless to continue fighting. So he quickly drew his sword and slashed to neutralize his attack, then jumped back and said, "Stop! My lord, I am indeed no match for you!"
"Your Majesty is good at swordsmanship." Chen Yan said from behind Qin Mubai, "Qin Mubai is right, he is indeed no match for you. Qin Mubai's kung fu is not good at swords, but fists and kicks. Maybe he will be good at kung fu soon. Not bad either.”
"Since you are a general, you should strive for excellence in martial arts. There is no harm in it." Li Daozong nodded with a smile and said, "Qin Mubai, you have excellent qualifications. What you lack is hard training. Given time, you will be able to go far. Better than me. Take the knife first and go back and practice hard."
"No, if you lose, you lose. If there are rules, you should abide by them." Qin Mubai said with a smile and cupped his hands, "If one day I can really defeat the prince, it will not be too late to take away the sword."
"What a spirit, it suits my taste!" Li Daozong laughed heartily, "You are very similar to Shu Bao in this aspect. Back then, if he encountered an evenly matched opponent, he would have to defeat him before he could feel at ease. This is what a warrior should deserve. Character. As you wish, I will keep the sword in a high cabinet for you. When will you be able to defeat me, come and get the sword at any time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"We have an agreement!"
Chen Yan smiled slightly behind the two of them and said to herself: These two men really have the same mind, I didn't make a mistake...
