The life of a martial arts escort from Longmen

Chapter 162 In the Forbidden City, a martial arts competition.

In front of the Forbidden City.

The red walls and golden tiles are dazzling under the rising sun.

Teams of imperial guards in golden armor patrolled outside the city wall, lined up neatly, and their powerful spirit radiated from the inside out.

It can be seen that they are a team against the elite.

As soon as Li Nan approached, he was stopped by a general guarding the gate.

"who?"

The general looked serious and looked at Li Nan with a pair of tiger eyes. Li Nan paused and took out the invitation card from his arms.

The general took the invitation and flipped through it a bit.

Nodding his head, he waved to the surrounding guards.

"Xiao Wu, take him to Chengtiantai, there are already many warriors there."

Xiao Wu of the imperial army immediately came out, and the armor on his body made the sound of colliding.

"Impossible to take orders."

The general nodded, returned the invitation to Li Nan, and then slowly said: "Young man, the Forbidden City is no different than outside, so you should not run around, so you can understand."

Li Nan took the invitation smoothly, with a smile on his face, and replied: "Don't worry, I'm just here for the martial arts competition."

Take a step towards this city within a city.

Xiao Wu, the imperial guard leading the way, led the way silently without saying a word.

Entering an alleyway, at a glance, there is no end in sight.

Several eunuchs and court ladies were sweeping the snow.

Li Nan remained expressionless and followed Xiao Wu.

However, his noble and handsome face and strange attire made them observe secretly from time to time.

Some court ladies waited until Li Nan and the two walked away, and started whispering one after another.

"This man is also a person who came to the martial arts competition, he looks so handsome!"

"Why do you still have ideas, little girl?"

"No, don't talk nonsense."

"You guys, what are you talking about when you're not working?" Suddenly a shrill, sinister voice sounded from several court ladies.

It immediately made them feel cold all over.

"Management."

"Management."

……

Li Nan didn't know that someone was punished for discussing him.

"This young hero is here."

As he spoke, Xiao Wu pointed to a huge square in front of him.

It was already noon at this time, and a few temporary wooden sheds were built near the wall.

Scattered knights were sitting in the wooden shed, drinking wine or tea.

"Yo, there's another newcomer here? Which one of you will go up and try?"

"Why can't you go up by yourself?"

"Nangong Liuyun, what do you mean? Are you looking for a fight?"

Nangong Liuyun's slender eyes looked at Huo Tianshi, who had just spoken, with disdain in his eyes.

"Don't quarrel, isn't this a joke for the people in the palace?"

Zhou Tuyu was dressed in purple cotton clothes, with a cotton hat inlaid with gemstones on his head.

With a seven-star long sword on his waist, Mimi smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes clearly.

Li Nan's face was still as frosty and expressionless.

At this moment, he suddenly saw Zhou Tuyu greeting him, and was taken aback for a moment.

"We meet again." Zhou Tuyu smiled with a friendly smile.

"um, yes."

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Li Nan nodded and answered.

Li Nan could clearly feel that the atmosphere was not right, but he didn't say much.

He found a place for himself and sat down.

Also use the system to view their information.

After all, no matter what, they might do one tonight.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

[Zhou Tuyu: A descendant of the Great Zhou royal family, his martial arts and political level are extremely high. 】

【Luck: nobleman】

[Huo Tianshi: One of the owners of Tsingyi Building, proficient in assassination]

【Air Luck: Pillars】

[Nangong Liuyun: The daughter of the current head of the Nangong family, she is extremely talented. 】

【Air Luck: Pillars】

Li Nan raised his eyes, circled around, and began to drink.

As time went by, from time to time warriors would be brought over by the imperial guards outside.

As the evening approached, about thirty people gathered in the wooden shed under the Chengtiantai.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Some people are eyeing Li Nan who is white and clean, maybe they have the intention of standing up.

"Hey boy, you are not ashamed to stand in such a big position by yourself? Hurry up and let me drive, or I will cut you."

Li Nan frowned at the big man with his voice open and his chest open in front of him.

Pointing to the empty space in front of you, he said coldly, "Aren't there places around you? Why did you find me? Do you think... my fist is not as hard as yours?"

As he spoke, Li Nan's cold and ruthless eyes stared at the big man who spoke.

Lin Dali was startled by Li Nan's cold eyes.Involuntarily took two steps back.

Then maybe feeling annoyed, he took two steps forward and looked condescendingly at Li Nan who was sitting drinking tea.

"call……"

The tea was delivered to Li Nan's stomach unhurriedly, and he didn't seem to care about the strong man at all.

Seeing Li Nan's appearance of treating himself like air, the strong man was furious, stretched out his hand and slapped Li Nan's face.

The powerful force caused a sonic boom, creating a puff of smoke out of thin air.

boom--

Li Nan stretched out his left arm, and calmly grabbed the arm of the strong man in front of him.

"Why, do you want to do it now?"

The brawny man was startled, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him who looked like a young man would have such great strength.

thump...

clap la la la-

Suddenly, the sound of running water resounded in Li Nan's body, and Li Nan's strength increased again.

A water snake came from the snow on the rooftop outside and landed on Li Nan's arm.

A big hand made of water flowed towards the immobile strong man in front of him.

"What kind of martial arts did this person use to enter the grandmaster realm? Do you know, he is so powerful."

"It's a bit like the palm of the waves, but it doesn't look like it, and the sense of power is much weaker."

"That's also very strong. The person caught by the palm is a ruthless person with a master of external skills. Even so, he was easily taken down by him."

……

There were bursts of discussions from time to time, and the expressions of the warriors looked at Li Nan began to be strange.

"Don't come out to fool around if you don't have the ability, so as not to say that I bully others, get out."

Li Nan threw the strong man out of the wooden shed, and with the sunset, the snow fell from the sky to the world again.

The brawny man blushed, he had no intention of going back, and followed a guard soldier out of the city in desperation.

The setting sun is like blood, and the sun is setting.

The touch of red between the sky and the earth puts a layer of chill on the glorious Forbidden City.

On the east side, a round moon like a jade plate hangs in the sky in a blur.

Li Nan faced the setting sun, his face was flushed red.

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

At this moment, Li Nan suddenly saw two familiar people walking through the snow and facing the light.

"Jing Qi? Green Orange?"

Li Nan was puzzled, but he also took it for granted.

The strength of their two families is not small, and it is easy to get two invitations.

"Qingcheng, look! Brother Nan is there."

Bai Jingqi is not only good at lightness kungfu, but also has good eyesight, and he can see Li Nan from a long distance away.

Lu Qingcheng also had a bit of joy on her face.

The old man reunited, couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Li Nan stood up and waved at the two with a smile on his face.

The warriors in the wooden shed were surprised, looking at Li Nan and the two people outside in the snowy night with inexplicable eyes.

It can be seen that the residual power of Li Nan's attack just now is still there.

Low voices of discussion slowly sounded.

"Hey, speaking of it, does anyone know which family this fierce man belongs to, with such strong martial arts?"

"Who knows? The Ming Dynasty has such a vast territory, and there are countless talents in a state."

"That's right, but it's also good, it's fun to have more talents."

"Why, Young Master Shen is bound to win?"

Lu Qingcheng and Lu Qingcheng's hair room was covered with snow, and they looked a bit downcast.

"Brother Nan, I still don't believe the person in charge said you've come, but I didn't expect you to really come." Bai Jingqi rubbed the back of his head foolishly, and laughed.

Li Nan led the two of them to sit on the table he just had, and poured them a bowl of wine.

"Keep out the cold, don't freeze your body."

"Hey, my body is strong and invincible, okay?"

Li Nan heard the words, cast doubtful eyes on Lu Qingcheng and asked with a smile: "How is Jingqi's body like yesterday?"

"It's pretty good! It's not a problem to travel a hundred miles in one breath."

Lu Qingcheng's honest answer made Li Nan feel that she was indeed a simple child.

"By the way, Brother Nan, have you seen the white-clothed sword god Ximen Chuuxue?"

Bai Jingqi's eyes are full of stars, similar to those star-chasing girls Li Nan met in his previous life.

But Li Nan really didn't see the Sword God Ximen Chuuxue.

After all, the city within the city, the Forbidden City covers a vast area, and there is not only one gate.

Maybe people came from other city gates, which is also very normal.

"It's a pity, I didn't see him, I still want to learn how to dress from him!" Bai Jingqi said with regret.

Li Nan immediately froze in place, looking at Bai Jingqi who was full of pity, his mouth opened and closed for a while, but he still didn't say a word.

I'm sorry, Jingqi, I misunderstood that you have an idol, it was my misunderstanding of you.

Bai Jingqi's character is self-contradictory, strange, low self-esteem and self-confidence with a little narcissism, it's hard to say.

"By the way, Brother Nan, how long have you been here? Didn't you say you were going to compete in martial arts? I haven't fought with anyone normally for a long time."

Ever since Lu Qingcheng arrived, she had been sizing up the people around her, with a fighting spirit all over her body.

Just as Li Nan was about to speak, he suddenly frowned and looked at the person coming in the snowy night outside.

The man in the lead was dressed in a brocade robe, luxuriously dressed, with a feminine demeanor.

There is a pair of Danfeng eyes similar to Li Nan, but more noble.

"It's sunset, come with me." Yuhuatian said lightly.

The voice is cold, not like the voice of the world.

When Yuhuatian appeared, everyone in the wooden shed was in a commotion.

Some people who came earlier stayed in the wooden shed, and they had already had resentment.

Thinking about how these people go out on weekdays, which time is it not to mobilize the crowd?Not the stars holding the moon?

Naturally, he doesn't like being left here by the court like this.

After seeing no one move for a long time, Yu Huatian stood there and turned around slightly, only to see his cold eyes.

"The imperial court does not force it, you voluntarily."

Yuhuatian's cold words did not take them seriously.

Go straight to Chengtiantai.

Since Yu Huatian took charge of the West Factory, he has held a high position and authority, and he interrogated many long-established masters on weekdays.

Naturally, they look down on this group of quacks.

It can even be said that a year ago, the two factories and one guard in the imperial court were vaguely opposed to the sects in the world.

That is to say, since the beginning of this year, there have been too many demons making troubles, and the court cannot manage them.

Just turn a blind eye to those sects entrenched on the top of the mountains, and turn a blind eye.

The invitation this time has this meaning, which represents the beginning of repairing the old by the imperial court and the rivers and lakes.

But after all, the imperial court has just changed its mind, and its words are still conscious of being superior to others.

The snowflakes in the sky began to grow larger together with the wind after entering the night.

In the end, the group of warriors still followed Yuhuatian.

Many of them traveled thousands of miles to the capital just to watch the Sword God and Sword Immortal fight.

Naturally, he will not affect himself because of some trivial matters.

Yuhuatian at the front is extremely powerful, and Piaoxue is not close to him.

a long time.

Bonfires were lit on the pillars surrounding the raised rooftop platform in front.

In the snowy night, the fire is even more menacing.

The sky and the earth are bright.

Yuhuatian and his group stood on the spot and did not move.

At this time, the elderly father-in-law next to Yuhuatian slowly came out and said loudly:

"Young heroes!
Some of you come here to compete in martial arts, while others come here purely to appreciate the collision of swordsmanship.

But since I chose to attend this event, let me tell you something.

For martial arts competitions, the ring system will be used on the Chengtiantai, and the winning ring master will not only have the opportunity to fight against the Sword God and Sword Immortal, but will also be rewarded by His Majesty Shengming.

And if you come to appreciate the style of the sword, we will lead you there when the last winner appears. "

Hearing the elderly man in front of him finish his speech slowly, the field fell into silence.

Everyone knows the principle of shooting the top bird with a gun, and naturally no one wants to be that top bird.

until……

Lu Qingcheng jumped up in one step, and walked to the center of Chengtiantai on the snow.

"Under Lu Qingcheng, I don't know which young hero is willing to enlighten me."

Lu Qingcheng had a smile on her face, her voice was crisp and clear, and she looked like a little girl.

offstage.

Seeing that Lu Qingcheng looked familiar, several of them immediately began to recall where they had seen her.

When most people saw Lu Qingcheng coming on the stage, they immediately started to make a fuss.

The main reason is that Lu Qingcheng is small, cute, and has a crisp voice.

Anyone who sees it will not think that such a cute little loli has any powerful martial arts.

such a pity……

Backfired.

"Ahem, everyone, that scumbag Luo Chi is making a fool of himself."

The tall and simple-looking, burly men rubbed their necks in embarrassment.

Then he came to the ring with a spear in hand.

Bai Jingqi panicked when he saw Luo Chi's fine iron spear.

He said loudly, "Can I still bring weapons to the ring?"

The father-in-law had no intention of answering. It seemed that his mission was over as long as he said those words.

Yu Huatian, who didn't say much, replied loudly: "As long as one person stays in the ring for a bowl of tea time, he will win, no matter what means, but... such a festive day, it's best to order it before it's too late."

In the end, it may be because today is a holiday, and it is not appropriate to see blood.

That's why I said so.

When Bai Jingqi raised a question just now.

On the stage, Luo Chi, who was showing two strong arms, was somewhat embarrassed.

However, after Lu Qingcheng's official invitation to the battle, he also became serious.

"Little girl, be careful."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a loud shout.

"kill!!!"

With his roar, a bloody smell from the battlefield spread throughout the Chengtiantai.

Li Nan was surprised, a little bit surprised.

Is this man a soldier?Besides the elite Forbidden Army, does the Ming Dynasty have such brave soldiers?

It can be seen that the first impression is profound.

"A hundred deaths without regret!"

"kill!!!"

With a bloody storm, Luo Chi used his most familiar military combat techniques.

Open and close, domineering and unparalleled.

On the other side, there seemed to be surging waves in Lu Qingcheng's body.

Crashing waves appeared beside her out of thin air.

As far as the naked eye could see, half of the arena was under Lu Qingcheng's rule.

Snowflakes fell beside her, and every time, they were also swept by the churning waves around her.

Luo Chi's body was red, and the astonishingly large evil spirit on his body condensed into a general wielding a spear behind him, and behind the general were veterans with somewhat illusory figures.

Generals die in a hundred battles, and strong men return for ten years!
The figures behind Luo Chi kept overlapping and merged into his body.

Finally, after the general and Luo Chi merged into one body, red flames suddenly appeared all over Luo Chi's body.

He was full of fighting spirit, and the snowflakes fell on him, making a chi-chi sound.

"Little girl, you are strong, but... I am stronger!"

The voice just fell.

A little Hanmang arrived first, and then the gun shot out like a dragon.

Just as Lu Qingcheng wanted to say that she was not a little girl, but a heroine, she felt her face turned cold.

Goosebumps all over his body instantly popped up.

A dazzling spear light appeared in front of his eyes, which made people want to block their eyes.

However, Lu Qingcheng didn't retreat but moved closer, and the big hand wrapped by the waves expended a lot of effort to slap the gun head crookedly.

The body missed the gun light in one step.

Before he confiscated the gun, his palm with a huge stream of water touched the barrel of the fine iron spear.

"Put... hands..."

sudden.

Lu Qingcheng roared loudly, the veins on her arms were exposed, and two water dragons appeared on her hands.

Looks like a female high school bully.

The two water dragons quickly spread to the refined iron spear.

Taking advantage of his profound martial arts, he raised Luo Chi and the entire spear.

Luo Chi, who has always boasted of his natural strength, was amazed.

But he didn't mean to admit defeat.

With a flick of the end of the gun with his right arm, a strange force from the spear was transmitted to Lu Qingcheng's hand.

And it seems to be continuous like ocean waves, and that strange force is getting stronger and stronger.

Lu Qingcheng was overjoyed.

What their [Shocking Palm] is best at is protracted combat, and it gets stronger as you go to the back.

Like ocean waves, each wave is stronger than the last.

But all of this is based on the premise that her arms can withstand that huge force.

Otherwise, it's all nonsense.

However, since Lu Qingcheng broke through to become a master, her martial arts have improved rapidly, and her speed of improvement is terrifying.

A bit of what her sister Lu Qingning meant back then.

Both of them grabbed the barrel of the gun and stood still.

Start to compete in internal strength and the depth of your own martial arts.

Bai Jingqi suddenly regretted coming to the Forbidden City, he was afraid that Lu Qingcheng would be injured.

Somehow, he always wants to throw out a few hidden weapons to affect the situation of the battle...

Li Nan said that he was addicted, this kind of feeling for Gang is really cool.

Finally someone in the audience recognized Lu Qingcheng.

Exclaimed: "The woman on the ring is using the authentic Jingtao palm, and she should be one of Guo Juxia's two granddaughters based on her age."

"Guo Juxia? That martial arts myth Guo Juxia?"

"Yes Yes!"

"Sure enough, the door is out of the tiger girl!"

"I don't know if Miss Lu is married. I fell in love with her at first sight today. I want to pursue her."

Suddenly, a handsome young man dressed in expensive clothes expressed his admiration for Lu Qingcheng.

Bai Jingqi's ears are very sensitive, and he listened to everyone in the audience talking.

Immediately, a pair of deep, gloomy eyes looked at the person who spoke just now.

damn thing!Young master, I didn't bring my gun today, otherwise I would have killed you on the spot! ! !
Ding Yuantu felt a chill behind his back, and his body was not quite right.

I thought it was because I was pursuing style today, and I didn't wear enough clothes, so I didn't take it to heart.

He successfully ignored Bai Jingqi's eyes.

bang——

A loud bang.

The man Luo Chi was sent flying by Lu Qingcheng, like a kite with a broken string.

Several people who were familiar with him immediately used Qinggong to pick him up.

"Little girl, good martial arts, Luo Chi is convinced, and I will fight again when I have a chance."

Luo Chi adjusted his breath slightly, then faced the ring, respectfully surrendering.

But judging from the fact that his face kept alternating between red and white, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

This injury is not light.

Also.

The competition of internal strength is the most dangerous, and it is easy to die from exhaustion.

That is to say, they are young, and their bones can withstand such hardships. If it were those who were older and who were approaching the limit of their life span, they would be so tough.

No matter whether you win or lose, you will never escape death.

Seeing Lu Qingcheng in surprisingly good condition, Bai Jingqi also breathed a sigh of relief.

on the ring.

Lu Qingcheng's palms were red and trembling slightly. Luo Chi's martial arts was only slightly weaker than hers.

It's not about crushing the game, so it's not easy.

Because of the characteristics of the exercises, Lu Qingcheng has never lacked internal strength.

But these palms and meridians are flawed.

Under the arena, everyone looked at Lu Qingcheng who was smiling all over her face, not sure about her condition.

In the distance, Yuhuatian, who was in charge of the overall situation, and the old man looked at each other.

They all nodded, and seemed quite satisfied with Lu Qingcheng's performance.

After a while, no one came to the ring.

However, Yuhuatian didn't intend to stop. He was confident that someone would continue to challenge him.

really.

Just as the half-stick of incense was about to burn out, a tall woman with nimble footwork flew onto the ring.

It can be seen that she is taking a light and fast path.

Although in the end Lu Qingcheng caught her mistake and slapped her off the ring.

But he also began to breathe heavily.

Seeing Lu Qingcheng showing fatigue, everyone in the audience had different thoughts.

In the end, Lu Qingcheng still lost in external skills, and her physical strength was weak, so she got off the ring by herself.

And now there is still a woman in the arena.

Nangong Liuyun.

The weapon she uses is the same as Li Nan's memory of the little dragon girl's white ribbon.

There are two silver balls with thorns attached to the top.

If it is hit, the average person really can't stand it.

Li Nan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a long black sword appeared in his hand.

He's ready to move his muscles.

……

……

Capital, Lu Mansion.

Lu Sanjin looked in the direction of the Forbidden City from afar, and didn't know that he was looking at Li Nan and the others.

I was still looking at the empress dowager who lived deep in the harem.

Suddenly, a homing pigeon flew in from outside.

Lu Sanjin was not interested at first, but by coincidence, as if on purpose, the letter fell by Lu Sanjin's side.

Hesitate again and again.

It's still open.

After a while.

Lu Sanjin was sweating profusely...

[Letter: Chasing and killing order: Li Nan, the bodyguard of the Longmen Bodyguard Agency, possesses the magical treasure dragon and phoenix cold coffin...]
