Yuchi Gong laughed loudly and said," Alright, just based on your claim that you're the reincarnation of a Demon God, it suits this old man's taste. Kid, after His Majesty orders someone to crown you, we'll have a good spar after court. Don't worry, this old man likes you and won't be ruthless."”
Yan Jue secretly pouted. He would definitely beat this black coal ball to a pulp later.
Li Er coughed to express his embarrassment. He was not going to get involved in the secret language between the two officials. He wanted to be a wise ruler and could not reconcile.
After coughing, Li Er said," Yan Jue, you offered your suturing skills to minimize the casualties of our Tang soldiers. You also offered your salt-making strategy to the country. Are you satisfied with my gift as a Marquis?"”
"I don't ask for a reward for serving the Great Tang." Yan Jue cupped his hands.”
Li Er was very pleased that he could say this. He nodded and said,"I can distinguish right from wrong. Merits are merits, and faults are faults. Rewarding merits and punishing faults is the foundation of the Great Tang. It's a little late today.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Er paused for a moment and chuckled."Yan Jue, you have the strength of the Four Symbols, and you are an unparalleled warrior. You must be incomparably brave in battle. I want to see your martial arts.”
"Your Majesty's request, this lowly subject will definitely satisfy it.”In his heart, Yan Jue curled his lips. If he didn't believe it, then he didn't believe it. He said it in such a dignified manner, but no one dared to expose him. He was too f * cking hypocritical.
"Haha." Foolish Yuchi laughed." Brat, His Majesty has requested it. Why don't we have a three-round battle outside the palace gates?"”
Li Er's mouth twitched. It was another three rounds of battle. Can't you change your habit of looking down on others? If he could really last three rounds without losing, wouldn't that be a slap to his face?
All the courtiers agreed. Li Er rode to the mountain pool. More than ten people and dozens of palace guards came to the mountain pool.
The mountain pool was located inside Taiji Palace. After leaving Taiji Palace, it took half an incense stick of time to reach the mountain pool. The mountain pool covered an area of 100 acres and was surrounded by pavilions. The image of the royal family was undoubtedly displayed.
The surrounding area was empty. Not to mention two people, even if a thousand people fought here, they would not feel congested.
In a pavilion near the mountain pool, a few guards and palace maids were surrounding a young girl who was about thirteen or fourteen years old. This young girl had picturesque features and appeared slightly weak. Her brows were filled with the air of a scholar.
Hearing the noise nearby, the girl said to a maid,""Xiao Tao, go and take a look at who's making a ruckus here.”
Xiao Tao ran out of the pavilion and was immediately scared out of her wits. She quickly ran over and said,"Princess, it's His Majesty. His Majesty brought a few ministers here to play.”
Li Liyuan's hand trembled, and the ink in her hand tilted. She looked a little excited and said in a trembling voice,"You saw it clearly? Is it really father?"
Li Liyuan was fourteen years old and was the eldest daughter of Li Shimin. She was one year older than Li Chengqian, but her birth mother was unknown and her mother's status was not very noble. She was only granted the title of Princess Xiangcheng in the second year of Zhenguan.
Due to her poor family background, Li Er rarely noticed her. Li Er had almost forgotten about her daughter. Since she was sensible, Li Liyuan had been studying calligraphy and painting hard. Now that she had some achievements, she did this just to attract Li Shimin's attention and gain some fatherly love.
Of course, there was nothing wrong with doing so. Which child would not want to have more contact with their father? In this deep palace courtyard, there were countless cold palaces. The chances of encountering them were also very slim. She, who had lost her mother since she was young, had led a miserable life.
She came here every day to practice calligraphy and painting because she wanted to attract Li Er's attention. Today, she was lucky enough to be in close contact with Li Er. Li Liyuan did not want to let go of this opportunity.
Yan Jue placed his Overlord Spear on the ground and said,""Your Majesty, can I borrow the halberd of the palace guard?”
The courtiers were puzzled. Li Er also asked in confusion,"Don't you have a weapon in your hand? Why do you need to borrow a blade?"
Yan Jue said shyly," Your Majesty, my weapon is too heavy. I'm afraid that I might accidentally hurt General Yuchi. Your Majesty will punish me."”
Li Er was stunned, the civil officials were stunned, and Foolish Yuchi said angrily,""Yan Jue, you brat, you've gone too far. Just now, this old man praised you for being very eloquent. In less than the time for an incense stick to burn, you've revealed your true colors and are extremely arrogant.”
Li Er said," Jingde, calm down. Guard, bring Marquis Yan's weapon for me to observe. I want to see how heavy this weapon is. If it doesn't exceed 30 catties, I will punish him."”
A guard volunteered to run over. He bent down to pick up the Overlord Halberd, but he couldn't do so. Not only was his face flushed red with embarrassment, but he also felt a little embarrassed.
One had to know that in ancient times, 16 taels of silver was one jin. This 128 jin weight had already exceeded 200 jin. It would be strange if he could lift it.
The guard refused to believe it. His face turned red as he shouted and grabbed the halberd. He staggered two steps forward, but the weight of more than 200 pounds hurt his shoulders. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. The Overlord Halberd fell to the ground with a dull clang.
Li Er kicked the guard two meters away and said hatefully,""Get lost, useless thing. You can't even pick up a weapon.”
Li Er went into the battle himself. He raised his arms forcefully, and his face instantly turned red. He was so embarrassed that he flew into a rage out of humiliation. His shoulders shook, and he lifted the Overlord Halberd. However, after hesitating for five seconds, he decided to put it down.
His eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Yan Jue and said in surprise,"Marquis Yan, I have a whole new level of respect for you. How did you manage to wield such a heavy weapon? Also, which horse can carry the weight of you and your weapon?”
The few officials were shocked. Zhangsun Wuji was also a general. He came to the front of the Overlord Halberd with a serious frown and lifted it with force. The Overlord Halberd was in his hand.
"So heavy." Zhangsun Wuji's face turned red. He turned around and glanced at Yan Jue with a shocked expression.
The civil officials looked at each other. Yan Jue explained,"Your Majesty, my mount is called Dusk Stallion, the same name as Xiang Yu's mount. It is the king of wild horses tamed in Xiangxi. It can travel thousands of miles a day without feeling tired.”
Li Er nodded and was slightly surprised." What is this? I want to see it."”
Yan Jue said to the guard," Take me to the Imperial Steed Bureau. The Dark Stallion is hot-tempered. I'm afraid it won't work if you send someone to fetch it. Your Majesty, it seems that I have to make a trip personally."”
"Yes."
After Yan Jue left, Foolish Yuchi curled his lips and said,""It's just a weapon. What weight can it have?”
He didn't believe it and walked over. He grabbed the Overlord Halberd and lifted it up. Although it was lifted up, Foolish Yuchi's expression was particularly interesting.
It wasn't just exciting. If it wasn't for the fact that his skin was too dark, he would have looked like a chameleon. Foolish Yuchi was so shocked that a huge wave surged in his heart, and his calves and stomach began to tremble.
"My goodness, what a heavy weapon.”
Foolish Yuchi was terrified, his intestines turning green with regret.
