Chapter 139 The Three Princes
"Bi Jian?"
Ashinami's words suddenly stunned Li Shimin. This Turkic princess, who was fifteen years old, actually wanted to use a sword competition to choose her own wish-full husband? If this happens to an ordinary family, it is naturally nothing. A princess will do whatever you want to do. But in front of her, the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin asked Ashinami to choose one of the three princes, which was already a great gift and gave enough face to the Turks. Now, Ashinami was about to use a sword, and Li Shimin hesitated.
The sword has no eyes, no matter who hurts, he, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, will be in a dilemma. But Asanami mentioned it in public, and the historian was beside him. If he refuses, the face of the Tang Dynasty court will be gone.
Seeing Li Shimin's solemn expression and wanting to speak, the fourth prince Li Tai suddenly walked up to Li Shimin and bowed: "Don't worry, my father, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Although I do not have the sword skills of the adopted son of Hejian County, I can still use a few moves with the third princess to show the heroic spirit of my Li family. As for victory or defeat, it is a common military service, and my son doesn't care."
Li Tai is ten years old and has a slightly fat figure. He looks very simple and charming. But as a prince, he is wearing a crown and a jade pendant and a gold belt. He has a very good temperament and is eye-catching. In addition, Li Tai speaks gently and is polite. As soon as he says, Li Shimin's expression immediately feels much more relaxed.
Seeing this, the third prince Li Ke immediately walked up and said, "The father was once the General Tiance who rode a horse to kill the enemy. His martial arts skills were great and powerful. As the son of the father, we are not that weak person? The third princess just wanted to see the skills of my Tang Dynasty man, and my sons were willing to fight with him."
Seeing that both sons were aggressive and took the initiative to ask for the fight, Li Shimin was immediately happy. The only prince present was Li Chengqian and did not speak. The prince of the East Palace wanted to speak but stopped several times, and wanted to go forward, but looked at Li Shimin's back and dared not move, which was extremely conflicted. Li Shimin seemed to have deliberately ignored him, and his eyes were always moving between Li Tai and Li Ke.
"Since both princes are eager to try, that's fine. Ke'er, you are the brother, so let's do it first. But the sword has no eyes, so don't hurt the third princess until the pilot."
"Thank you for your advice."
Li Ke received the emperor's order and soon went to the palace not far away to change into military uniforms. Although he was young, he was holding a golden sword and light armor, which was very heroic. Seeing this, Ashinami did not speak, and smiled and stood up from his seat with a sword. The Turkic dress was lighter than that of the Han people. Ashinami obviously had no intention of changing clothes, and was very confident.
"Please, please, the third princess."
Facing Ashinami, Li Ke was not panicked at all, as if he was sure to win. Seeing that he was talking to him about some gentlemanly etiquette, Ashinami sneered and rushed forward with his sword. The Turkic princess's body was extremely agile, dancing in a fox fur like snow under the moon, blurring everyone's eyes. Li Ke almost instantly lost Ashinami's trace, with countless shadows from all directions, and it was impossible to tell which one was the real body.
Bang!
Li Ke waved a sword and felt that his arm was shocked by a force, which made him so painful that he couldn't even hold the hilt of the sword. But looking forward, he was just a phantom, not a real person. This shocked and confused him. The feeling he had just now clearly touched Ashinami's sword, but the other party seemed to have never appeared before, flashing everywhere in front of him.
"What a powerful body movement, her speed is at least ten times that of a normal person running. And it blends with the sword body, almost inseparable from each other."
In Lu Xin's eyes, Ashina Nanami did not disappear, nor could she be cloned. However, her speed was so fast that Li Ke could not see clearly. But strangely, Ashina Nanami never intended to attack, and I don't know what to do. Li Ke was so troubled by the dense shadows in front of him that he gradually lost his patience. He shouted loudly, swung his sword everywhere, but they were all killed in the air.
"Why didn't the third princess show up to fight me in a dignified battle?"
Li Ke couldn't catch the opponent's shadow for a long time, but he consumed nearly half of his physical strength, and his expression was irritable. When the roar fell, Ahnami's giggle sounded in his ears. The next second, a little cold light hit the back of Li Ke's head.
"The third prince's sword, I don't even know where the nano is. How can I protect me in the future?"
"Hmph, is the third princess competing for swords or magic? But the soldiers are never tired of cheating and do not talk about methods on the battlefield. Li Ke loses and is willing to give up the disadvantage."
"Hehehe, the third prince is elegant and elegant, Nami admires it."
The two young men praised each other. Although they were against their will, the scene was over. Seeing that Li Ke was defeated, Li Shimin only frowned and said nothing. Then, Li Tai, who had been there for a long time, walked into the venue with a faint smile. Ashinami glanced at him, but immediately shook her head, as if she had expressed her feelings.
Li Tai saw that the beauty in front of him seemed to look down on him, and his eyes became slightly cold, but then he returned to normal. After seeing Ashinami's attack, he did not perform any gentlemanly rituals like Li Ke. Instead, he stabbed the sword in his hand into the mud. The ten-year-old prince was extremely strong. The sword body was rolled up all over the ground, and with him as the center, it instantly blurred the five-step realm in a circle. What's even more amazing is that the dust rolled up by Li Tai with his sword flew firmly around it, and no dust fell on the tables of the court officials. Even Lu Xin was deeply surprised by this method.
"What a heavy sword, is this fourth prince born with great power?"
"No, this is a unique move by the Li royal family. It is said to be a gunshot created by Li Shimin when he was young. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin used this move several times on the battlefield, forcibly attacking the enemy camp, and was elusive. This child was only ten years old and could integrate the gunshots into the swordsmanship, and was extremely talented. This move is similar to the moves that the Turkic princess had just used."
Li Chunfeng spoke softly, but he could not hide the appreciation in his tone. While the master and apprentice were talking, Li Shimin on the dragon throne was also shocked and stood up suddenly. It was obviously the first time this Emperor of the Tang Dynasty saw Li Tai performing his sword technique, and he was both surprised and happy.
"Tai'er, the changes in the world are yellow and yellow, and the eyes are fascinating. But as long as you don't close your mind, you can see everything clearly. The essence of this move is to confuse the eyes of all beings and do your own way."
Li Shimin spoke instructing Li Tai, which made the court officials cheer. When Ashinami heard this, she frowned and shouted softly, and rushed into the dust. Then, a golden sound of two swords colliding became more and more urgent and louder. In the end, the dust around the two became increasingly huge and thicker.
Boom!
After about three minutes, a huge dust storm suddenly exploded, and countless dust scattered and almost fell into everyone's wine glasses. The courtiers still kept forgetting the battle situation when they were panicked. They wiped the dust on their faces and immediately opened their eyes to see Li Tai half-kneeling on the ground, looking exhausted. And Ashinami was still standing with his sword, but his breathing was rapid and some sweat appeared on his forehead.
"The third princess has good sword skills, I lost."
Li Tai took several deep breaths before slowly getting up from the ground, but directly admitted defeat. When the court officials heard this, they all turned pale and sighed a pity. Then, Li Tai walked to Li Shimin to apologize. Instead of blaming the blame, Li Shimin laughed and praised him. Although he lost the competition, he was in a good mood.
"The third princess is worthy of being the moonlight on the grassland. As expected, the swordsmanship is excellent. My princes have all lost. I wonder how the third princess will make a decision?"
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was wrong, but the two princes were defeated. There was still one person in Nani's eyes."
Seeing Li Shimin's question, Ashinami shook her head and looked at Li Chengqian. Compared to Li Ke and Li Tai, Ashinami's gaze at Li Chengqian was obviously much gentler, and even had a charming taste. But as soon as she said that, not only Li Shimin's face suddenly changed, but the court officials below also started to curse.
"Bold, the prince of the Eastern Palace, how noble, how can he use a sword and a gun with you?"
"Your Majesty, Ashinami relies on how old he is to bully my Tang Dynasty prince in this way, and he is vicious and asks you to take a clear look."
"The crown prince is my crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. How can I dance with a woman? The Turkic princess must not agree to this request."
The court officials at the banquet were in a mess in an instant, but Ashinami seemed to be unable to hear anything, so she smiled and stared at Li Chengqian. After a long time, Li Shimin took a quick photo of the Dragon Case and shouted: "What's the point of noisy? You guys don't have to say much, just fight among the juniors. Whether to compare or not depends on them.
What you mean. Chengqian, come here."
"Father."
"You have been weak since childhood. Since I made you the prince, you have always been studying in the East Palace to nourish your energy and never touch the swords, guns and sticks. The third princess competed with you for swordsmanship. What do you think?"
"Return to my father. In the past two years of my life in the Eastern Palace, Lord Taibao taught me martial arts every day. Although he was the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, I am also a man of my Li family. I should take my father as an example, and I can govern the country with literature and kill the enemy with martial arts. Therefore, I practice martial arts day and night, and I dare not be negligent for a moment. The third princess of the Turks appointed me to compete with me. How could I be afraid of my eldest son of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Chengqian bowed slightly, his voice full of energy and he talked freely. The more Li Shimin listened, the ugly his face became. However, Ashinami below had a light in his eyes, as if he had seen his sweetheart.
"Master, I suddenly felt something was wrong. Was this Turkic princess here to get married or to humiliate the Tang Dynasty?"
"Well? My disciple reminds you to be a teacher, and I will tell you the good or bad luck."
