"Qingyan, I'm sorry, can you please stop practicing today and go to the temple to pray for blessings?"

Chen Yugui bowed respectfully to Liu Qingyan, who came over for training early in the morning.

Liu Qingyan was a little puzzled. General Chen was different today. His hair was neatly combed, and he didn't have the reluctance on his face before. His expression was quite calm, and he actually knew how to salute.

"General Chen, there's going to be a martial arts competition soon. If you don't practice martial arts well, there's no point in going to the temple to cram in."

General Chen smiled and said,

"If I can give you ten moves, can you leave me here and move around freely today?"

Liu Qingyan was slightly shocked. Normally, Chen Yugui couldn't even take five moves.

"When...of course."

General Chen drew his sword without saying a word.

"Liu Weiwei, look at the sword!"

The two of them fought together. General Chen changed his usual unsteady pace and was tired of dealing with it. Instead, he walked lightly and drew his sword quickly, with great power.

After ten moves, it was hard to tell the winner between the two, and Liu Qingyan even felt that he was hiding his strength.

"Chengyi! I'll take my leave now!"

General Chen sheathed his sword, saluted, and turned away.

Liu Qingyan looked at General Chen's back and became even more puzzled. How could his martial arts improve so much overnight?

……

……

"The martial arts competition is scheduled to be held in the east wing of the outer city in seven days.

On the first day, military generals from various countries competed in archery, lance, and weight-bearing, and the ten warriors with the best results were selected.

On the second day, these ten warriors were divided into five groups and competed one-on-one in the ring. The one who knocked down his opponent or knocked down the ring was the winner, and five were eliminated.

On the third day, the remaining five warriors will fight in the ring to determine the champion, second and third place. The champion will be awarded the title of No. [-] Warrior to Xiaoyong, and His Majesty will present the award in person. If the warrior is from his own country, he will be given an official position and promotion, and if he is a warrior from another country, he will be given an official position and promotion. Rewards include gold, silver, jewelry, cloth, livestock, etc. Do you understand? "

At the banquet, Bai Yu reported the competition process to the warrior representatives of Liao and Xixia.

Originally, only the Liao Kingdom applied to participate, but after hearing about it, the Xixia Kingdom, not to be outdone, also applied to participate in the competition.

Both countries have recruited more than 20 highly qualified warriors to participate.

So the simple domestic competition has now become the Three Kingdoms Competition.

The relationship between these three countries is very delicate.

Xixia, Kang and Liao all had border conflicts. Xixia was unable to defeat Kang, and Kang was defeated by the Liao army.

Therefore, the Liao State relied on its rich army and strong horses, and was the most arrogant. It always wanted to invade Kang State and Xixia.

In order to protect itself, Xixia formed an alliance with Kang State, which restricted the Liao State.

The situation temporarily eased, and the three countries signed a peace treaty.

Xixia paid tribute to Kang State every year and festival, and Kang State paid tribute to Liao State every year to ensure peace on the border.

This banquet was specially held to discuss the martial arts competition. Attendees were Su Mu, the national military general representative, Jia Qing, the first martial arts champion, Yelu Lie and his son Yelu Qi, the Liao warrior representative, Tuoba Jun, the Xixia warrior representative, As well as Bai Yu, the commander of the Imperial City Division who hosted the competition, he was accompanied by three princes from his country.

Yelulie was tall and burly. According to legend, wherever his cavalry went, he was invincible and made people frightened. His son Yeluqi was equally mighty.

After taking two bites of the best lamb shank, Yelulie stood up from the banquet.

"My general doesn't strike lightly or lightly. If I accidentally kill someone, I won't be held responsible!"

"This……"

Bai Yu hesitated for a moment and said.

“It’s better to order as much as possible!”

Yelulie laughed.

"Then what kind of competition is this? Are all the warriors of Kang State so precious about their lives?"

Li Sihe said in his sleeves,

"The martial arts community in the Central Plains is not as rude as you. In order not to hurt the friendship between countries, it is better not to kill anyone."

Yeluqi also smiled and said,

"Father, I think they are cowards!"

The prince was not convinced, stood up and said,

"I, the prince, applied to my father to make a declaration of life and death before the competition. I am afraid that he will do something."

Tuoba Jun from the Xixia Kingdom slapped the table,

"This is so bold! Let's have a good competition, no matter the casualties."

Everyone was discussing with great interest, but Li Yunxi looked like he was staying out of it. He crossed his long legs, propped his chin, and played with the wine glass in his hand, as if he was worried.

Li Si said to him, "Fifth brother, you must ask the Ministry of Industry to build the competition arena. My father is coming in person."

Li Yunxi smiled slightly,

"The second brother is promoting his younger brother. Although my father has asked me to take charge of the Ministry of Industry temporarily, I don't know how to build a house. Others are doing it. It would be good if I can arrange the song and dance performances at that time."

Li Si sneered and said,

"Fifth brother is really humble."

At this moment, Yeluqi suddenly covered one temple and frowned tightly.

Yelulie said with concern,

"Son, you have a headache again?!"
