Li Yuanji and Yuchi Gong intersected. Just between the lightning, Li Yuanji stabbed out three spears like lightning, intending to attack instead of defending and prevent Yuchi Gong from seizing the spear.

Fa Yuchi Gong's seemingly thick body had incredible flexibility. He twisted strangely for a few times and actually avoided Li Yuanji's first two spears. When the last spear came, he suddenly screamed, spread his arms and clamped the spear under his left arm. Then he grabbed the spear with both hands and twisted it.

"Let go!" With Yuchi Gong's roar, Li Yuanji wanted to compete with the other party, but he didn't expect that a force that could not be refused was heard from the horse spear, which made him unable to hold his hands anymore. Then he felt a pain in his palm and the horse spear was taken over. When he opened his palm, he found that the skin on his palm had been worn off.

Later martial arts novels often have the ability to seize the sword with empty hands, but in reality, it takes great risks to grab the weapon from the enemy with empty hands. What's more, Yuchi Gong still seizes the spear between two horses and flashes, which requires extraordinary courage and martial arts. He is probably the only one who dares to do this in the entire Tang Dynasty.

"Okay!" Li Shimin, who was beating the drum, saw that Yuchi Gong lived up to expectations and showed his magical skills of seizing the spear again. He couldn't help but roar excitedly, and at the same time he tried hard to beat the war drum several times to express his excitement.

At this time, Li Jiancheng immediately stopped beating the drum, went out to check Li Yuanji's injuries, and called the doctor to apply medicine to him, and then he said to Li Shimin: "Second brother, your subordinates are worthy of being a powerful general. You have won this bet. I think the guests have almost arrived. Let's start a banquet now!"

When Li Jiancheng talked about the guests, he glanced at Li Xiu, whether intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, he not only invited Li Xiu, but also invited other people, such as Ma Ye and some people around him, who were all guests he invited, but he just looked at Li Xiu.

"Oh no!" Li Xiu shouted inwardly and immediately wanted to hide behind Mr. Ma. Unfortunately, Li Shimin's eyes also followed him at this time and saw him in the crowd. As a result, Li Shimin's face, which was quite excited, quickly became gloomy. The eyes of Li Xiu were also a little annoyed. It was probably that his good mood was destroyed by Li Xiu.

Facing the annoyed Li Shimin, Li Xiu could only smile at him with a shameless face. He felt a little guilty when he said that. After all, Li Shimin took the initiative to recruit him again and again, but he refused them all. Now, as soon as Li Jiancheng invited him, he came here. I guess no matter how generous the people are, they will be angry.

Seeing that Li Xiu had a face to smile at him, Li Shimin became even more angry. He snorted coldly and turned his head to stop looking at him. He was not upset, so as not to get confused by Li Xiu.

As the master, Li Jiancheng had time to greet the guests. Those who could be invited by him were either powerful people in the court or famous scholars in Chang'an City. Li Xiu was an exception. However, when Li Jiancheng saw him, he smiled very kindly: "It is better to see him than to see him at first sight. I have heard from my third sister that Li Zhengwei was young and promising. Today, he really deserves his reputation!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince praised him. I am just a vain person with no virtue or talent. You can't praise him like this!" Li Xiu actually liked to hear others praise him, but at this time he smiled bitterly. Didn't you see that Li Shimin's face turned black when he heard Li Jiancheng's praise for him. I guess the more Li Jiancheng praised him, the more angry Li Shimin would be.

"Brother, is he the Li Xiu who saved his third sister?" At this moment, the heroic Li Yuanji also came over and said, "The skin was peeled off from his palm. At this time, the doctor put medicine on his medicine and wrapped it in gauze. It is estimated that it will be fine in a few days."

"I have seen Your Highness the King of Qi, and I am Li Xiu!" Li Xiu also hurriedly saluted. Seeing Li Yuanji's bravery, he did not dare to look at His Highness the King of Qi with his original old eyes.

"No need to be polite. I want to thank you for saving my third sister. I will give you a few cups later!" Li Yuanji was not as arrogant as the legendary one, and he spoke very politely, but he had a bit of arrogance in his expression. After all, as a prince, he was young and extremely powerful, and he was inevitably a bit of arrogance. Only those who were stronger than him would get his sincere respect.

Next, Li Jiancheng encouraged Li Xiu a few more words and then invited him into the hall. Then all the guests were arranged to their respective seats. The higher the status, the closer they would naturally be to Li Jiancheng. Although Li Xiu was valued by Li Jiancheng, he could not compare with those powerful scholars after all, so his seat was arranged very far behind. He didn't care about this. It would be better to sit in the back, at least he could avoid Li Shimin's murderous gaze.

Li Xiu had just sat down, but what he didn't expect was that Ma Master suddenly came over, then pulled him to the front, and asked him to sit with him. Ma Master came on behalf of Princess Pingyang, so his seat was very forward, with Li Yuanji next to him, and Li Shimin opposite him. As soon as he sat down, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, especially Li Shimin, whose eyes were shot at him like a knife.

"Uncle Ma, I'd better go back. Sitting here is too eye-catching!" Li Xiu also felt uncomfortable all over at this time, mainly because Li Shimin gave him a strong sense of oppression, and he didn't care much about the eyes of other people.

"If you don't want to be in a dilemma in the future, just sit honestly and remember to cooperate with me later!" Mr. Ma whispered at this time, and then sat there as usual, as if it was normal to pull Li Xiu beside him and sit down.

Li Shimin, who was opposite, saw Li Xiu sitting opposite him. He became more and more angry as he looked at him. Finally, he couldn't help but say: "General Ma, brother has his own schedule to arrange guests. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to pull Li Li to sit in front like this?"

As soon as Li Shimin said, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. The guests present also looked at Li Xiu. Many people had heard of Li Xiu's name, and some even knew that Li Shimin had recruited him before, so at this time they wanted to see how Li Xiu responded to Li Shimin's questioning?

Although Li Xiu's move was a bit rude, it was a guest invited by Li Jiancheng after all, and he wanted to use the matter of recruiting Li Xiu to attack Li Shimin's reputation. So before Ma Ye could speak, Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "The second brother is a little serious. This time it is just a private banquet for me, so I don't have to be too harsh on etiquette. In addition, I have heard that General Ma and Li are friends, so I can enjoy sitting together at the banquet more!"

Li Jiancheng's words were obviously biased towards Li Xiu. This was not because he valued Li Xiu, but because he wanted to use this to attack Li Shimin. What the enemy hated was what we like, and Li Jiancheng also deeply understood the essence of this sentence.

However, just as Li Jiancheng finished speaking, Ma Ye suddenly stood up and saluted Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin separately. Then he smiled and said, "The two high men don't know. In fact, the reason why the last general brought Li Jianwei here was mainly because Li Jianwei had just accepted the appointment of the princess and is now serving as the female deputies' consultant priest, responsible for internal and external etiquette and reception of guests. This time the princess was injured and could not come, so it was actually Li Jijiu who actually represented the princess!"

"Uh?" Li Xiu was the first to be stunned when he agreed to be the sacrificial sacrificial sect for the Detachment of Women?

After a brief silence, the guests in the hall also began to discuss heatedly. You should know that Princess Pingyang has a special identity. Although she is a woman, she enjoys the same treatment as the King of Qin and can open a government office. However, Princess Pingyang is a low-key person. Except for commanding the Women's Detachment during the war, she does not participate in government affairs at all at other times, and there is no government office. Therefore, positions such as Chief Shi, Sima, and Jijiu in the Women's Detachment are all empty. Only when needed will Ma Sanbao and other generals of the Women's Detachment become guest stars. However, she did not expect that today, a young man was appointed as Jijiu for the first time.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were both stunned when they heard Ma Master’s words. After being stunned for a moment, Li Shimin suddenly laughed and sat down. His eyes looked at Li Xiu and Ma Master were much softer. Li Jiancheng looked at Li Xiu and Ma Master with complicated eyes for a while, and finally laughed and said with a forced smile: "So that's it, I'm a little negligent!"

After Li Jiancheng said that, he sat down and never looked at Li Xiu again. Li Shimin kept drinking with a smile. As for Li Yuanji next to him, he looked at Li Xiu in surprise for a while. He couldn't figure out what was special about Li Xiu, and he actually made the third sister break the example for him?

Feeling Li Yuanji's strange gaze and everyone in the hall also looked at him curiously, Li Xiu was also a little restless. He asked Ma again softly: "Uncle Ma, what's going on? Why don't I know that the princess appointed me to sacrificial wine?"

"Of course you don't know, because this was decided by the princess before I came. Don't you want to be recruited by the prince and the King of Qin? The only way is to make you a member of the Detachment of Women. Although there are some differences within our Detachment of Women, the prince and the King of Qin have had a tacit understanding in order to show respect for the princess and will never take the initiative to poach the corner of the Detachment of Women, unless you take the initiative to surrender to one of them!" Ma Ye explained in a low voice.

In fact, he had also thought about recruiting Li Xiu to join the Detachment of Women before, but Li Xiu had a special status and was valued by Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, so this matter must be approved by the princess.

"So that's it, but why didn't the princess say to me in advance?" Li Xiu said deliberately with a dissatisfied expression at this time.

"What, you kid don't want it?" Mr. Ma glared at this time.

"No, I just want to ask how much the salary of the priest is. I won't do it if I give it less!" Li Xiu said with a look of beating. Princess Pingyang did not hesitate to compete with two brothers for him, and this favor was a bit too big.
