The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain
545. I have a method
As for Bai Gui's swordsmanship... Wu Shiluo could tell that Bai Gui's swordsmanship was not weak, otherwise it would not have been possible to interrupt the duel between Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin with the scabbard.
But compared to the reward of killing Juluhou's son, this risk is still worth taking.
"Li'er, you're confused, get out of here."
Zhao Mu's face changed slightly and he scolded.
Even though he was arrogant and domineering, Zhao Li was his only heir. If anything happened to Zhao Li, it would be enough to make him regret it for the rest of his life. If he had known earlier, he would not have allowed Lian Jin to teach him how to practice swordsmanship.
"Father, I have my own place to make the decision. Although Xiang Shaolong is brave, his skills are still slightly inferior to those of Master Lian. Furthermore, Xiang Shaolong and Master Lian have been fighting for a long time and are tired. I will recharge my batteries. Victory can be won without force."
Bai Gui considered his words and replied to Zhao Mu in a deep voice.
Victory without force!
When Julu Hou Zhao Mu heard this, he was a little eager to give it a try, but considering that Zhao Li was his only son, he still felt that something was wrong.
It's just a fight.
If you really lose your only son, then the gain outweighs the loss.
"Li'er, please step back and stop messing around."
There was anger on Zhao Mu's face, and he turned to King Zhao and said: "I have no way to teach my son, which makes the king laugh. Li'er is just confused for a moment and cannot take it seriously. Please don't agree to it."
"What did the Marquis say?" Wu Shiluo sneered, trying to regain his position, "In front of the King, Mr. Li first interfered with the sword fight between the two, and then said that the substitute master would come on... Could it be that the Marquis thought that the King Is it something you can tease at will?"
"What about the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
He was an old man, and with some words and words, Bai Gui's situation became precarious in an instant.
If he goes on stage, he might not be as good as others and be killed by Xiang Shaolong.
Not playing, this is the crime of deceiving the king. Even if King Zhao does not want to punish him severely, but it involves the dignity of the king, he will not be easily spared...
"What Chief Wu said makes sense."
King Zhao stroked his beard under his chin. After speaking, he saw Zhao Mu, the Julu Hou, standing up in a hurry, and waved his hand to ask Zhao Mu to calm down. He muttered again and said: "Zhao Li is different from Lian Jin. He is a gentleman of our Zhao Kingdom. Xiang Shaolong, you must remember not to hurt him."
No matter how powerful Lian Jin is, he is still a member of the Wei Kingdom and an outsider. But Zhao Li was different. Once Zhao Li made any mistake, it would be difficult for him to explain it to Zhao Mu.
"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding of your love for your son."
Zhao Mu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to wait.
He could tell that Xiang Shaolong hated Lian Jin deeply. If he followed common sense, Xiang Shaolong would definitely not show mercy to Bai Gui. But if Xiang Shaolong dares to hurt Bai Gui even a hair, then he will not be able to spare Xiang Shaolong, and neither will King Zhao.
"Xiang Shaolong, do you understand the king's order?"
Wu Shiluo held up the wine glass with one hand and covered his face with his wide sleeve with the other hand. After drinking the wine, he narrowed his eyes and moved his lips slightly, as if he said two words.
However, only Xiang Shaolong could see where he was.
Shuer…….
Shu'er was the maid given to Xiang Shaolong by Tao Fang, but was later killed by Lian Jin.
This is where Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin’s enemies lie.
Wu Shiluo's intention was to anger Xiang Shaolong. Xiang Shaolong, with the power of an ordinary man, cannot affect the overall situation, but if Xiang Shaolong can be used as a chess piece to kill Juluhou's son, it will be a great deal.
Xiang Shaolong nodded, sheathed his sword and stood in the palace, looking at Bai Gui coldly.
"Master Li, I will not show mercy later."
he whispered.
The two were competing with each other with swords, standing very close to each other. Therefore, what he said could not reach the ears of the guests present, only Bai Gui could hear it.
"Brother Xiang, please."
Bai Gui was not annoyed, and had a gentle look on his face. He didn't look like he was here to compete with each other, but rather as if he was here for fun. He didn't seem to take the sword competition to his heart at all.
The next moment, the ceremony bell rang.
Xiang Shaolong struck first. He took half a step forward and raised his sword to slash at Bai Gui's face. The sword was extremely fast, and there was a rustling sound piercing the air. At the same time, he used his free left hand to bend his elbow and prepare for a sword attack, and then supplemented it with Muay Thai fighting skills, hoping to knock Bai Gui down within one or two moves.
However, right now.
The next moment, Bai Gui suddenly grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and then pulled out the bronze sword with lightning speed. He drew his sword so fast that he couldn't even see his shadow.
"Ahem..."
Xiang Shaolong's forward thrust was stopped by him. He looked at the long sword hanging on his neck with an extremely ugly expression. It was impossible for this sword to reach his neck, at least at this angle, speed, and time.
But this sword was definitely coming across.
The cold sword edge pierced his neck, secreting a trace of blood. The sword was not stained with blood, and blood dripped down the tip of Wei Shoe's sword onto the floor.
With one move, victory or defeat is determined.
The guests present in the main hall were all stunned. They never expected that this fight would end in such a funny scene. Xiang Shaolong, who was able to defeat Lian Jin, was unable to withstand even one move from Bai Gui's sword.
Even though Xiang Shaolong may have been exhausted in the previous fight, he would not have been defeated in one move.
In addition, Lian Jin is Bai Gui's swordsmanship teacher. Lian Jin is not as good as Xiang Shaolong. No matter how talented this disciple is, he cannot win so easily.
"Brother Xiang is good at swordsmanship, but he is still inferior to me."
Bai Gui sheathed his sword with a calm expression.
He did not kill Xiang Shaolong.
It's not because Xiang Shaolong is a "good guy". He does not have such compassion easily. But Xiang Shaolong is a time traveler from Hong Kong Island, and Xiang Shaolong has the time and space coordinates of the future world in his body. Even if he killed his father Zhao Mu, he would not kill Xiang Shaolong at this moment...
"Li'er, your swordsmanship is...so powerful."
Juluhou Zhao Mu was a little dumbfounded and said this after a while.
Although Zhao Li had a foundation in swordsmanship and was not weak in the past, it would be extremely difficult for him to believe that he was better than Lian Jin and Xiang Shaolong in swordsmanship. But such a strange scene happened before his eyes, and he couldn't help but not believe it.
"Master Lian's teachings are very good."
Bai Gui cupped his hands and praised Lian Jin.
Lian Jin, who was seriously injured, was recuperating in the presence of others. Hearing Bai Gui's words, he was startled for a moment, and then he remembered the Qi training technique he gave Bai Gui. Only this Qi training technique can explain this.
The strength of a master swordsman is not only reflected in the exquisiteness of his sword moves, but also in his physical strength. For example, Xiang Shaolong's body is stronger than that of Lian Jin, so even if Lian Jin's moves were exquisite, he could not stop Xiang Shaolong's repeated attacks. He was helplessly exposed and almost killed by Xiang Shaolong's sword in the chest. die.
Bai Gui's body does not look like the body of a swordsman.
The sword move used... wasn't necessarily subtle, just an ordinary sword-drawing move. Then only the Qi training technique he taught yesterday can explain all of this.
Zhao Mu looked confused. When Lian Jin saw this, he whispered a few words in secret.
"So that's it..."
Zhao Mu laughed a few times. He raised his hands and said to King Zhao: "Your Majesty, Zhao Li has been asking Lian Jin for swordsmanship these days. He has long been superior to the master. It's just that Zhao Li is a gentleman, not a swordsman. Therefore, I have never shown my true ability, but when I saw Lian Jin defeated this time, I was so anxious that I had no choice but to show off my superb swordsmanship."
"Li'er, I really gave you a surprise."
"Among the other countries, Young Master Hongying is outstanding in swordsmanship, but I, the man from Zhao Kingdom, am not bad either."
"Lian Jin and Xiang Shaolong had a bet before. As long as whoever wins, the king will give him a hand in marriage. Now my son wins. I don't know, the king..."
He first explained the unexpected scene, and then changed the topic to the bet.
He had also heard about the Qi training techniques that Lian Jin talked about. It's just that ordinary Qi training will never allow swordsmanship to reach such a level. But King Zhao is not a sharp-eyed person, and he can't tell the truth from the lies, so he just excuses it with reasons.
"It is indeed a blessing for our country, Zhao Li, to have such ability."
"I don't know...Zhao Li, do you want to marry a noble daughter of the He family?"
King Zhao nodded, smiled, and expressed satisfaction.
Even though Bai Gui was quite invincible, Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin were from another country, and Bai Gui was a descendant of the Zhao country whom he had watched grow up. Zhao Li can win, even if he wins by luck, it is better than either Lian Jin or Xiang Shaolong winning.
Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, glanced at Wu Tingfang.
This beauty is what he covets.
But he didn't want to snatch the reward of his only son. If Lian Jin wins, he will still be strong enough to make Lian Jin like this. But if Bai Gui wins, he will not interfere too much either emotionally or rationally.
To be honest, at his current status, there is no shortage of women.
"Any woman?"
Bai Gui raised his eyebrows and asked King Zhao.
This was also the intention when he stepped down to save Lian Jin and compete with Xiang Shaolong at the same time.
Zhao Mu, the Julu Hou, seems to be extremely powerful, but in fact he is in great danger. If he wants to fight for the throne and unlock the secret of He's Bi, he must start from somewhere else.
Since ancient times, marriage has been one of the easiest ways to increase strength.
King Zhao let out a light sigh. The words had already been spoken and he didn't want to lose face. He nodded and said: "As long as she is an unmarried noble girl, she is welcome."
"Is it okay, princess?"
Bai Gui asked back.
If you want to get married, your interests must be maximized. Ordinary women cannot increase the strength of Juluhou Mansion. Only the daughter of King Zhao is possible.
Seeing this, Juluhou Zhao Mu's eyes lit up.
He slapped his thigh and wondered why he hadn't thought of this. Wu Tingfang is nothing, King Zhao's daughter is the most valuable. With the princess, the power of the Hou Mansion will surely rise to a higher level in the future.
"You have no joke."
King Zhao frowned and gritted his teeth.
If it were Zhao Li before, he would be nothing more than a playboy. He will not give up the princess, but now Zhao Li, who defeated Xiang Shaolong with one sword, is obviously the leading talent of Zhao country. Even though he is reluctant to give up his daughter, he will not regret it too much.
Secondly, since he has already said his word, it is hard to refuse.
Of course, if either Lian Jin or Xiang Shaolong wins and is so bold, he will definitely not let them have an easy time...
"Princess Qian is the one whom Li admires deeply. May your Majesty make her come true."
Bai Gui was thinking about the Tian family's deeds on behalf of Qi. Since he married the princess, he must marry the princess. Among the direct princesses, only Zhao Qian has reached the right age, otherwise she would not be allowed to marry the Wei Kingdom and become the crown prince and concubine of the Wei Kingdom.
"Qian'er?"
King Zhao hesitated, "Can you choose another person, Qian'er... I want to betroth her to the prince of Wei."
When a prince marries a daughter, it is naturally impossible for him to marry a concubine to an equal prince, she must be a legitimate princess. If Zhao Qian is betrothed to Bai Gui, it will be difficult for the Wei State to deal with it.
Bai Gui glanced at Zhao Mu, and then stepped forward to argue: "Why does your Majesty want to marry with Wei? Why? It's just that Wei still has enough power to interfere in the war between Zhao and Yan. But...please, Your Majesty Let’s take a look at Qin and Chu today. Qin and Chu have been married for generations. Lord Wu An fought in the battle of Yanling and dug up the tomb of King Chu, but he never showed any mercy..."
"How can the affairs of a country be determined by the wives of princes?"
"Please ask me, the king, to think twice."
His words are organized and sonorous.
After the words fell, all the civil and military officials present could not help but nod, agreeing with these words.
If the marriage was effective, Qin Chu would not become a feud.
"Your Majesty, what Li'er said may have some shortcomings, but it is still a way to help the country." Zhao Mu was surprised, when did his son become so insightful, but he didn't think too much about it, thinking that Bai Gui had enlightened him. Now that Bai Gui wants to marry the princess, how can his father hold him back?
In the past, he wanted King Zhao to agree to betroth the princess to Zhao Li, but Zhao Li was mediocre and incompetent, so King Zhao declined. Now that Bai Gui has shown such ability, King Zhao may not necessarily disagree with this matter.
"Qian'er, what do you think?"
King Zhao hesitated and asked what Zhao Qian meant.
It's not that he doesn't know what Bai Gui means. In fact, he understands it too. It's just a legitimate princess, which is really insignificant compared to the safety of a country. Moreover, sending the legitimate princess to a foreign country is also to be the wife of a prince, so she will not suffer any grievances and there is nothing she cannot do.
But now that Bai Gui is asking for marriage, what he says is reasonable, and he can't break his promise. He could only leave the choice to Zhao Qian. If Zhao Qian disagreed, he would find excuses to shirk it.
"My son is willing..."
Zhao Qian glanced at Bai Gui, who was talkative and elegant, and she suddenly felt a little admired in her heart. Zhao Li's skin is followed by Juluhou Zhao Mu, both of whom are outstanding talents. Plus, with this talent, how could he not make the girl fall in love with him.
In addition, she is unwilling to marry in another country. Compared with other gentlemen, Zhao Li stands out as a good husband.
"That's all, that's all, I'm old and it's hard to interfere with the young people's affairs, so I decided to let it go."
King Zhao shook his head and sighed.
But after he finished speaking, he asked again: "Zhao Li, you said that the State of Wei would not change its national policy because Zhao State marries a princess. So when Zhao State is attacking Yan, how can we prevent Wei State from invading our Zhao State's border? "
Marriage is the next best thing.
So..., what's a better strategy?
This is what King Zhao and the ministers want to know. Everyone looked at Bai Gui, wanting to see what the son of Juluhou could say.
Bai Gui smiled upon hearing this. With his knowledge, it was not difficult to come up with a suitable method. "Has your Majesty ever heard of Su Qin and Gongsun Yan's technique of combining vertical and horizontal lines, and Fan Ju's technique of distant communication and close attack?"
"This type of diplomacy is nothing more than balancing the situation, using our strength to attack the other's weakness."
"I have a way..."
