Challenge!
The door opened, Su Liang walked out, and Chen Yun smelled an alluring aroma. Google search reading
He didn't see clearly what Su Liang was holding in his hand, "General Su is eating supper?"
Su Liang walked out quickly, "Yeah."
"I heard from General Lin that General Su is a great cook." Chen Yun caught up.
Su Liang did not continue the topic. After finishing the meat pie in his hand, he wiped his hands with a towel and asked Chen Yun, "Do you know how strong Wei Yao's son is?"
Chen Yun nodded, "Liangguo began to imitate the imperial examination of Ganguo to select talents a few years ago. They also hold it every three years, and the strongest warrior selected is not called the champion, but the first warrior. Wei Yao's eldest son Wei Hao was the first warrior selected by Liangguo last year. It is said that he is very powerful."
Su Liang thought, the names of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are stomachache, stomach medicine, and stomach good? Very logical.
After leaving the general's mansion, the two of them got on their horses and headed towards the north gate.
After Ning Jing finished his supper, he sent the dishes to the kitchen, cleaned them up with the light of the fire in the stove, and boiled a large pot of hot water, just like at home.
Then Ning Jing returned to Su Liang's room, changed his clothes, and left quietly.
...
After three years, the army of Liang State was at the gate of the city again.
As soon as they left Nanfeng City, Xing Ji received news from the spies and asked the army in the city to prepare for war.
However, because Su Liang was not in the barracks, she had no soldiers under her command, and no one was in charge of her. Xing Ji was busy with deployment, and Lin Bojun was assigned an important task, so they didn't have time to send someone to call Su Liang.
When Su Liang heard the horn, Xing Ji was already standing on the city wall.
The horn was not to assemble the army, but to remind the people that there might be a war, so they should pay attention to safety and stay indoors.
Wei Yao brought 20,000 elite soldiers, and the army of Xuanbei City, including Xing Ji, thought that the war would start tonight.
Especially Xing Ji, guessing that maybe because he became the chief general, the Wei family of Liang State could not hold back and came to seek revenge.
But the result was surprising.
Because it was sandwiched between Liang State and Yan State, Gan State has always pursued the strategy of "I will not move unless the enemy moves", and generally will not take the initiative to provoke a war.
When Xing Ji heard Wei Yao's request, he did not refuse, nor did he agree on the spot, but sent Chen Yun to invite Su Liang.
As for the competition with Wei Hao, the first warrior of Liang State, the bet was a city and 100,000 stones of grain. If Xing Ji was young, he would definitely go without saying anything.
But now the party involved in this bet is Su Liang. Xing Ji intends to listen to her opinion.
Although Su Liang is the top martial arts champion of Gan State this year, she has a condition that she is the strongest among those who participate in the martial arts examination under the age of 35.
During the day, Su Liang tied with Chen Yun, who did not participate in the martial arts examination.
Whether she can defeat Wei Hao, Xing Ji has no idea.
The key is that if they lose the war, it is not just about 100,000 dan of grain, but also about the face of Gan State, and the responsibility is heavy.
"General Xing, is your Gan State's Su champion afraid and dare not come?" Wei Yao shouted while riding on a tall horse.
There was a burst of laughter from the army of Liang State.
Wei Hao said loudly, "If your little girl who became the champion of martial arts dare not come, it doesn't matter, General Xing will admit defeat for her!"
Although Wei Yao came with a posture of negotiation, he used provocation in his words.
Liang State is short of food, and they are here to "rob" tonight. The proposed bet is just to achieve the goal in a labor-saving way. If the several countries want to go to war, they can rob openly.
The Liang State, living in the cold northern land, has always advocated the use of force, and the men are physically strong. In terms of the average combat power of a single soldier, it is stronger than that of Gan State and Yan State.
In a war, no matter which side starts the fight first, they always have to find a legitimate reason for themselves. It is best to force the other side to strike first, and then fight back, which is naturally reasonable.
The people all yearn for peace and tranquility.
And the spectators often do not condemn the provocateurs, even if they are forced to do so, but as long as they strike first, they are wrong.
Xing Ji knew the intentions of the Wei family father and son very well, and ignored them.
"General Su is here!"
Xing Ji turned around and saw Su Liang climbed up the tower, followed by Chen Yun.
"You are here." Xing Ji turned around and walked over, and did not let Su Liang go to the front to be seen by the Wei family father and son.
"Do you want to fight?" Su Liang asked.
Xing Ji sighed slightly, "It depends on you. If you don't want to fight, let them go."
Su Liang knew that Xing Ji was sincere. If she said she would not go, she really could not go, and Xing Ji would help her block all the troubles.
But if that was the case, she would not come.
"Since the general has no objection, let's fight!" Su Liang said straightforwardly, "How old is Wei Hao?"
Xing Ji was stunned for a moment.
Chen Yun quickly said, "Twenty-six."
Su Liang said calmly, "He is a twenty-six-year-old strong man, and he lost to me, a sixteen-year-old girl. It's not glorious if he beats me."
Xing Ji was a little puzzled. Su Liang never wanted to be treated specially because she was a woman and young, and it was rare to hear her say that.
"I heard someone shouting that I was a young girl who became the champion of martial arts." Su Liang said.
Xing Ji nodded, "It was Wei Hao."
"That's it. He said it himself, and it's true. In short, whether I win or lose, I will not let the country of Gan lose face." Su Liang said seriously.
Xing Ji looked relieved, "I believe you."
Chen Yun said, "Otherwise, let me go first? Just say that Wei Hao is not worthy of fighting against the martial champion of my country, and pass me first. Even if I lose, General Su can take this opportunity to look at him." The number of paths is more certain.”
"No need." Su Liang refused without hesitation, "They won't agree."
After saying this, Su Liang walked to the crenel, looked at the dark army of Liang Kingdom below, and said loudly, "Who wants to fight with me, the general?"
Xing Ji suddenly felt like laughing.
The Qianguo army, which was originally on fire because of Liang Guo's provocation, instantly felt much more comfortable when they heard Su Liang's bold and confident words.
Wei Yao, Wei Hao and his son, as well as the Liang soldiers and generals, all raised their heads and looked at Su Liang.
The moonlight was bright, but it was far away, and they couldn't see clearly Su Liang's appearance and expression.
Wei Yao said loudly, "But Su Zhuangyuan?"
Su Liang responded, "My general's surname is Su, and my given name is Liang. I am from the Liang Kingdom. If I was born in the Liang Kingdom, would it be a taboo for me to have this name?"
Both parties were stunned. Unexpectedly, Su Liang went against common sense and actually took the initiative to chat with Wei Yao. The opening topic was very unique...
Wei Yao laughed loudly, "It will indeed be a taboo. But General Su was born in the Qian Kingdom, but with this name, maybe he is destined to be from our Liang Kingdom in the future!"
Xing Ji snorted, it was really a dream.
Su Liang also smiled, "But my name is taboo in the Liang Kingdom. If I have to behead my head, I can't change my name. Then, I can only fight to the death with the Liang Kingdom. My name is destined to be in conflict with the Liang Kingdom. It’s also a great fate, is this what General Wei said?”
When he heard the words "life or death", Xing Ji's mouth twitched, and he felt that Su Liang was too good at chatting.
Even Liang Guobing felt that Su Liang was too arrogant!
The army of the Qian Kingdom felt that every word Su Liang said made sense and was so beautiful!
Wei Hao was obviously angry, "A yellow-haired girl dares to compare with my country of Great Liang. You really don't know how high the world is! If you have the seeds, let's practice!"
"What kind are you talking about? Do you have one?" Su Liang asked.
A burst of laughter broke out from Qian Guo's side.
Su Liang continued, "General Wei challenged me, a yellow-haired girl, in front of the army of Liang Kingdom. It really gave me face. But for the sake of fairness, you Liang Kingdom must send a girl of the same age as me to fight, otherwise General Wei He’s ten years older than me, and his face won’t be bright when he wins!”
Su Liang's voice, confident and domineering, contained a hint of innocence and simplicity, which made both the Wei family and his son change their expressions.
"You are the number one warrior in the Qian Kingdom, and I am the number one warrior in the Liang Kingdom. Do you dare not compete with me?" Wei Hao asked coldly.
"Why don't you dare? I'm just afraid that General Wei will lose and be embarrassed to see others." Su Liang chuckled.
The fight hasn't started yet, so we don't know who will win and who will lose, but Su Liang's talkative skills completely defeated the Wei family's father and son.
"Stop talking nonsense! If you want to fight, come down!" Wei Hao raised his long knife and pointed it at Su Liang, "After talking so much, I think you are scared!"
"Come right away." Su Liang's voice was very calm, "But the two Wei generals can take the initiative to bet a city of Liang Kingdom. This shows that they have a high status in Liang Kingdom. I am very envious. Unfortunately, I am only a fourth-grade general. , I can’t afford to use the food and fodder of the Qianguo army to play with you.”
Wei Yao's face darkened, Su Liang's words were full of knives, but they did not make their own decisions, so they did not feel guilty, "General Xing can make the decision. In the final analysis, General Su still dare not fight!"
"Oh, that's true. But our general's original intention is to let you go back to where you came from. If you want to fight, then fight, if you want to negotiate, just have a good talk. He doesn't like these mean-spirited things. It's me who insists on fighting. Yes, I am responsible for my actions. Don't you just want food? It's simple. If I lose, I will give you one hundred thousand stones of food." Su Liang said loudly.
Wei Hao blurted out, "What a loud tone!"
Su Liang smiled and said, "I can't help it. You don't understand me. My fiancé has a lot of money and he wants to give it to me. He can't even spend all the flowers. It's annoying. It doesn't hurt to give you a little."
This sounds like sending a beggar away...
Chen Yun raised his head and said, "General Su is really..." He didn't know how to describe it.
In short, Liang Guo provoked and Su Liang responded. Originally, the initiative was in the hands of the Wei family and his son, but now the situation has become quite strange.
"Okay, just follow what you said!" Wei Yao shouted. He realized that if he continued to pull the strings, it would be even more detrimental to them, and he was unwilling to give up his original plan even though he was here.
The Wei family father and son were very confident in the martial arts competition and did not intend to play any tricks. According to what Xing Ji said, the Liang State army retreated, and the Qian State army came out with 20,000 soldiers. The two sides faced off, and the open space in the middle became a competition ground.
"General, I would like to protect General Su!" Chen Yun said to Xing Ji.
Xing Ji nodded, "Go and keep an eye on it, be careful of the other party trying to trick you." He had the archers ready to take action immediately if there was any movement in Liang Kingdom.
Su Liang and Wei Hao walked out of the two armies.
Su Liang is not short among women, but compared with the muscular Wei Hao, she looks particularly thin and petite.
Wei Hao brought a long sword, and Su Liang brought a Luoying sword. The swordsmanship she learned from Ningjing had almost never been used outside before, because Ningjing said the heat was still far behind. The two had practiced martial arts at home. Su Liang would practice this swordsmanship every time, and Ningjing would train with her, putting pressure on her.
Today is an important competition. It's not that Su Liang can't afford 100,000 shi of food, but she doesn't want to lose.
No one gave orders, and after the two men showed their weapons at the same time, the battle began.
Soon, the armies on both sides began to cheer for their own people.
The sound waves rise and fall one after another.
Su Liang didn't care about those things, he only focused on the sword in his hand and the opponent's knife.
The swords collided, the cold light flashed, and the two black shadows moved in the moonlight at a very fast speed.
Liangguo's first warrior is indeed not empty. Wei Hao is very strong, and his strength is simply suppressive to Su Liang.
After several attempts, Su Liang began to avoid his edge, using faster speed and more flexible swordsmanship to deal with Wei Hao.
Xing Ji stood on the high tower and looked down. He felt that Su Liang was a warrior who became stronger when facing strong opponents. He still had great potential. After being stimulated, the height he could reach was immeasurable.
Chen Yun, who was watching the battle, felt the same way. He said to Lin Bojun who came to his side, "If I fight with General Su again tomorrow, I'm afraid I will lose."
Chen Yun actually heard that Su Liang was proficient in many weapons, but he saw it tonight. Compared to the double swords that tied with Chen Yun during the day, he felt that Su Liang's swordsmanship tonight was more exquisite and powerful.
Lin Bojun didn't say anything, just watched intently. He was not worried about winning or losing at this time, but was afraid that Su Liang would be injured. Swords have no eyes, and if Wei Hao's sword hits someone, it will be either dead or seriously injured.
Wei Yao's face was not good, because whether it was before the competition or the competition that was currently underway, it was worse than they had planned.
Wei Hao had no rivals among the younger generation of Liangguo. Before they came, they learned about Su Liang's participation in the martial arts examination. They all thought that she could get the martial arts champion because there were no powerful people in the martial arts examination in Ganguo this year, and she could defeat Mu Ya because Mu Ya was overrated.
In fact, the martial arts examination was not exciting enough at the end, and Su Liang did not really show her strength.
But tonight, Wei Yao realized that this little girl who was chosen by them as a stepping stone was too difficult to deal with!
Half an hour later, the outcome was unpredictable.
Su Liang has been on the defensive more often since the beginning. Wei Hao can't hit her, and has to be on guard against her sudden tricky attacks.
As time goes by, Wei Hao's physical strength consumption is much greater than Su Liang, and gradually his moves are not as fierce as at the beginning.
After Wei Yao discovered Su Liang's intention, he couldn't help but remind Wei Hao to fight quickly!
As a result, Wei Hao was anxious, but Su Liang was more stable. He used a few more sharp flower swords, which were dazzling, and Wei Hao was forced to retreat three steps.
"General Su, hit him!" A soldier couldn't help shouting.
Amid the shouts, Su Liang turned from defense to offense, with sword light raging and coldness surging, pressing Wei Hao step by step!
Not long after, Wei Hao lost his footing and fell to the ground. Su Liang took advantage of the situation and put the sword on his neck!
