"Since the prince is so generous, don't hide it. Go ahead and pick up your saber and prove your prowess. Gain your honor and fortune. ”

"No."

Yun Xiao waved his hand, and the iron guard crossed his hand and sang a promise. He walked to the carriage and picked up his own saber, although the sabers were all made in unison. However, the sledgehammer does not guarantee complete uniformity, especially the curvature of the blade. The distance between the journeyman and the apprentice was so great that the sledgehammer had to be a lot of examples. Despite this, handmade products are still subject to tolerances.

The iron guard stood opposite Gai Nie with his saber and drew his saber with a "swish". The polished saber reflected a dazzling cold light in the sunlight, so shaking that Gai Nie hurriedly blocked his eyes with his hands.

The servants of the King of Jiujiang all let out a burst of exclamation, and the iron swords of this era were all dark pieces of iron. As long as the blades on both sides are sharpened, the white color of the metal will be revealed. However, after a period of oxidation, it will turn black if it is not polished. Only the Yun family will polish the blade as if it were a fart of the pants.

Gai Nie's eyes narrowed, and it was a strange blade. With a little more caution in his heart, he slowly drew the long sword in his sheath. Gai Nie's long sword is very long, a full four feet long, and the iron sword built in this era can only be made three feet long because of the craftsmanship. Therefore, there is a saying that the three-foot sword blade is Gai Nie's long sword that the king of Jiujiang spent a lot of money to hire a famous sword-casting master in Jiangnan to build it. The sword is more than a foot longer than the others, which gives him a big advantage in the sword competition.

When the guard saw Gai Nie's sword, a smile appeared on his lips under his visor. The saber is not afraid of the sword. The longer your sword, the better. casually threw the lacquered wood scabbard to Dai Yu, holding the handle of the saber with both hands, a pair of eyes under the mask stared straight at Gai Nie. It's like a falcon in the sky staring at its prey.

Gai Nie still uses the usual starting style of Jiangnan swordsmen, holding the scabbard in one hand and the long sword in the other. The body is hunched over, like a leopard that chooses to devour people.

The Iron Guard raised his saber high above his head and rushed over with a howl. Dark armor, hideous visor and sparkling saber. Startled, Gai Nie's mind was in a trance, and the speed of the iron guard was quite fast. Gai Nie saw the opportunity and stabbed it with a decisive sword. He wanted to rely on the advantage of the long sword and first stab the gap in the opponent's armor, so that he could win quickly.

But the iron guard did not dodge or dodge, and the shiny saber in his hand slashed down with the wind. Gagnie was shocked. You must know that the other party is wearing armor. Moreover, the armor of the Yun family is notoriously strong. Gai Nie was also not sure that he could pierce the armor with a single sword. But this saber really slashed to the top of the head, even if his own sword penetrated the armor. His own head will also be split in half, and the best result will be a lose-lose situation.

It is more likely that his longsword was slipped away by his armor and his head was cut in half. After all, the reputation of the Yun family's armor is still very strong. The generals of Chang'an couldn't get one in their dreams.

Gai Nie hurriedly drew his sword back. Block. Dai Yu showed a satisfied smile. Gai Nie's iron sword was already a cut longer than someone else's. After all, it is still rare for a guy with excellent arm strength, and in order to reduce the weight of the entire sword, the width of the sword body has been reduced.

A sword of this width. Even if you resurrect Ou Yezi, it is useless to invite Mo Ye back. One is bound to be cut into two pieces by a saber, and the only thing to see is how big a piece is chopped off.

With a "choking", Gai Nie's long sword broke in two. The remnants of the saber did not disappear and slashed straight at the top of Gai Nie's head, and the heart of the King of Jiujiang was pinched. After all, this Gai Nie is the number one master under him, Liu Ji is very fond of it, and now he is going to die in front of him. Let Liu Ji not worry.

But the powerful saber stopped on top of Gai Nie's head, and a trace of blood flowed down Gai Nie's hairline. In the end, without Dai Yu's kung fu, the domineering sword qi still hurt Gai Nie.

Gai Nie raised his head and glanced at the shiny blade, his eyes stained red from the blood. The whole world was hideous in his eyes, a piece of blood red.

Defeated like this? Gai Nie was not willing to accept the fact of defeat, "Ah" Gai Nie shouted and stabbed the remnant sword in his hand towards the Iron Guard. The long sword that had lost its sharp edge was slid away by the sturdy Yun family armor, and the iron guard turned the blade and slashed at Gai Nie's neck with the back of the knife. If he used a blade this time, Gai Nie would definitely end up in a different place.

However, this time he used the back of the knife, and under the heavy blow, Gai Nie's body fell softly. It turned out that he was beaten and fainted.

Liu Ji's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and Yu Yunxiao's squeeze had to pay a thousand gold. I thought that the Yun family would not be so powerful that he could just pull out a soldier and compare it to the number one master under him. But the facts are in front of him, and the number one master under his command was subdued with only one move. If it weren't for the mercy of others, he would be facing a corpse with a separate body.

"Don't thank you for the reward, your kid has made a fortune. You will win a thousand gold at once, and you will have to entertain your brothers in the evening. Hahaha. Yun Xiao looked at Tie Wei with satisfaction, and did not forget to tease Liu Ji.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." This iron guard is also well-behaved, and he salutes Liu Ji with his crossed hands. made Liu Ji angry.

"Come on, go back to Chang'an and get a thousand gold and send it."

In front of so many people, it is impossible to repay the debt. Liu Ji had to grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and ordered his subordinates to withdraw the money.

"Slow, Lord Wang, you can't bear to be so wasteful. If we compare again, it's better for your subordinates to pick random people. A thousand gold for a game, what do you think. ”

This old guy is a little too arrogant today, and Yun Xiao plans to dig the pit a little deeper. If you don't pit today, your old boy vomits blood, even if your buddy hasn't killed anyone.

Liu Ji's eyes rolled, maybe it was just an accident just now. Gai Nie happened to only pick the most powerful one in this team, it was impossible for the Yun family to raise hundreds of such powerful people. If this group of people is so powerful, Liu Qi will leave them near Chang'an with peace of mind?

After thinking about it, Liu Ji agreed to continue the competition, but he lost more and more miserably. Because the level of these guys is also uneven, some of Liu Ji's guards who have mastered the strength well can still ensure that they leave the field without injury. encountered a bad grasp of strength, and the guard was more unlucky and was cut off by a villager Yong. If Dai Yu hadn't stopped him quickly, I'm afraid this guy would have mechanically cut off his head directly. No way, thousands of times of training have become a habit.

Liu Ji is like a gambler who has lost a red eye, constantly sending his guards up. Punches, kicks, swordsmanship, and even wrestling. Xiahou Ang can't stop it no matter how much he stops it, and if he continues like this, it seems that he will have to sell the palace.

After a whole set, Liu Ji already owed the Yun family as much as 9,000 gold.

"Lord Wang, why don't you play anymore?"

Yun Xiao looked at the angry Liu Ji and said with a smile.

"Boy, what if the Lone King gave you the 9,000 gold. The lonely king increased Yueyang's tax rate to four out of ten, and the wool always came out of the sheep. Hahaha. ”

It seems that this old boy doesn't want to be good, Yun Xiao decided to threaten him.

"Lord Wang, these people are actually retired from the army. There are 2,000 people on the school field over there who are being trained in the same way as them. Ben Hou planned to send them all back to their hometowns, and most of their relatives were in Yueyang. They are bound to return to Yueyang as well, and four out of ten of you will be drawn on their heads. I wonder what kind of officials the prince will send to collect their taxes?

There are a lot of these guys who are good at flying the eaves and walls, and they are angered to be careful that your officials sleep with their heads and don't get up with their heads. ”

"What, you dare to openly incite the murder of officials to rebel?"

Liu Ji's eyes widened in disbelief, hundreds of such people were still veterans. And the Yun family still has two thousand people training, which means that he is not short of these hundreds of people now. Once they were sent back to Yueyang, the consequences would be unimaginable. That Zhang Shisan's subordinates are limited, and they can't compete with themselves. But with these hundreds of people, it is different, they are worth thousands of recruited soldiers.

Even their own guards are like chopping melons and vegetables in front of them, not to mention those grassroots officials. That's not how much you go to and how much you die, and as for the taxes, I'm afraid you won't get any of them back.

If you force these people to rebel, it will really stab the hornet's nest. If they hide in Dongting Lake, I am afraid that they will be a hundred times more powerful than Shi Hu. Liu Ji began to regret why he handed over Yueyang to the Yun family to settle Xiangyong's family, it seemed that this kid was holding back from the beginning. I want to get a piece out of my fiefdom.

"The prince still admits it, and the tax rate of one out of ten is stronger than not. Once these tiger and wolf people are really released back to Jiangnan, I don't know how big a mess it will be. Maybe as long as Yun Xiao gave an order, they would even have the courage to enter the palace. ”

Xiahou Ying pulled Liu Ji, the king of Jiujiang, aside and kindly comforted him.

"The lonely king wants to go to His Majesty Xià to sue him, accusing him of secretly hiding armor and intending to rebel."

Liu Ji gritted his teeth and said.

"Lord Wang, how far is it from Chang'an City. There are a lot of princes and princesses here, and even the prince is in Lintong. Yu Linwei was directly stationed with 2,000 people. Do you still think that His Majesty doesn't know how many soldiers he raised? I'm afraid that His Majesty has already been able to watch the fire, and Yunhou has raised so many soldiers with the tacit approval of His Majesty. The prince admits it, this kid doesn't want to talk to him.

If he really stuffs all the retired soldiers into Yueyang every year, then I'm afraid you won't be able to draw one out of ten in the future. Yueyang will become a country within a country in Jiujiang. And His Majesty will only criticize the prince for your incompetence, and will not blame the Marquis of Lintong for half a point. Please also ask the prince to think twice. ”

Xiahou Ying helplessly comforted his own prince, this time he made Yun Xiaokeng miserable, and he couldn't say anything to let these killings return to Yueyang. (To be continued......)
