Liu Hongji had brought a total of 20 people, and Li Rui took less than five minutes to finish them all. This was because he had wasted two minutes on Liu Hongji. This guy had some skills.
Li Xiu Ning didn't have any reaction when Li Rui was fighting twenty people by himself. She just watched the fun leisurely from the side. She was now confident in her man.
Li Rui tore off a piece of cloth from Liu Hongji's body and carefully wiped the blood between his fingers. He slowly walked back, smiled at Li Xiu Ning, jumped onto the Black Cloud Leopard, and left.
Liu Hongji's men were lying on the ground, gasping for air. However, they were all superficial wounds.
A tall and muscular man had a nosebleed. He tore up countless pieces of cloth to barely block it, causing blood to flow everywhere.
"General Liu, didn't you say that his kung fu wasn't that good? How can you fight so well?" The brawny man's words were a little leaky. It seemed that at least two of his teeth had fallen out.
"How would I know what happened?”Liu Hongji rubbed his loose back teeth, and his body couldn't help but tremble. The fierce battle just now had left a deep impression on him. No, it was more accurate to say that it was not a fierce fight, but a one-sided beating. He was indeed a little puzzled. He had seen Li Rui's skills before. Although he could fight, he was not much better than him. How could his combat strength increase exponentially after not seeing him for a few days?
After Liu Hongji finished speaking, he led his defeated subordinates back on their horses. He planned to complain to Li Yuan.
However, when Liu Hongji returned to Huaiyuan Town, he received the news that Li Yuan had decided to marry Li Xiu Ning to Li Rui. Liu Hongji was so angry that he kicked the stone lion in front of the Tang Public House. He immediately let out a wail and covered his foot in pain.
Li Yuan announced that he was going to marry Li Xiu Ning to Li Rui, but at the same time, he also said that they would only get married after Li Rui became a general. This made Li Xiu Ning very happy. As long as her father agreed, it would be fine. As for the matter of Li Rui becoming a general, she believed that it would definitely be realized soon.
Li Rui didn't say anything about Li Yuan's actions. In fact, he didn't think about marrying Li Xiu Ning directly. From the change in Li Yuan's attitude towards him, it could be seen that the most important thing was to improve his strength. When your strength reached a certain level, others would have to think of ways to accommodate you. Therefore, Li Rui's current focus was still on how to improve his own strength.
The improvement of strength did not only refer to the improvement of one's martial arts, but also included having one's own army. He was now looking forward to Emperor Yang Guang rushing to the front line.
In Li Rui's anticipation, the Great Sui Dynasty's Eastern Expedition Army finally arrived at the eastern shore of the Liao River. The army was more than eighty miles long, and the dust raised by the hooves of the horses covered the sky.
After setting up camps around Huaiyuan Town, they sent elite cavalry to protect the official road, and dispatched strong people to pave the road with yellow soil and clean the trees on both sides of the road with clean water. After packing up, the imperial carriage began to enter the city.
In order to prevent the assassins from attacking, the emperor's six armies guarded both sides of the imperial chariot tightly. The onlookers could only see the shadow of the imperial chariot and nothing else.
The entrance ceremony lasted for several hours before it ended. Yang Guang entered the palace and ordered the eunuch to announce the decree, summoning all the civil and military officials and foreigners to the palace to discuss the matter of crossing the Liao Dynasty.
"This is what an emperor should do! However, it was no wonder that it took them several months to reach this place.”Li Rui led his warhorse and slowly walked towards the newly opened military camp outside the city. The barracks of the grain guards in the city were taken over by the internal army, including the houses and all the grain and baggage inside. The grain guards could only be stationed outside the city.
"Today, we finally see the emperor! Staying in this godforsaken place for half a year was not in vain!”Lieutenant Li Yan said emotionally. His official rank was slightly higher than everyone else, so he stood closer to the Emperor's carriage and had more chances to see Yang Guang than others.
"What does His Majesty look like?" Lu Huaji, Wu Shi Yao, Zheng Chong, Wang Ba, and the others immediately surrounded him and asked.
" This... this..." Li Yan suddenly stuttered," How should I put it? In short, it was very dignified. Just a glance would make people's hearts jump!”
"Our Great Commandant Li was too nervous and didn't see His Majesty at all.”Cui Jianren came over and said disdainfully," If I were standing so close to the front, I would definitely straighten my back. If I was scanned by Wansui's dual-pupils, I might even level up five or six!”
"As if you're not nervous." Li Yan ignored the mockery and boasted," When Wansui's gaze swept over me from afar, I felt as if I was seen by him. My heart immediately warmed up, and I felt that the pain of the past six months was all worth it!”
Li Rui stood at the side, listening to everyone's conversation with a smile and not making a sound. To be honest, Yang Guang's extravagance when he entered the city today indeed shocked him. How could the leaders of the future generations have such a grand show? Wu Shi Ling and the others were envious of Li Yan standing at the front, but Li Rui thought of the two sentences that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had said back then-A real man should be like this-he could replace him!
