Chapter 215

"Li Rui, wins!"

The three words fell clearly into everyone's ears.

The divine dragon dissipated.

But the soldiers watching were still immersed in the shocking scene just now, unable to extricate themselves.

"Dragon!"

I believe that scene just now will make them unforgettable for a lifetime.

Who told the dragon's image in the hearts of the world to be too sacred.

Cao Wei looked at Li Rui.

With his level of vision, he could actually see that Li Rui had taken a shortcut.

He knew Li Rui carried the dragon form.

But Li Rui's great victory today was not key to the suppression of the Qi form, but a comprehensive and meticulous layout.

It is estimated that from the beginning, Li Rui had already investigated Qi Ze's background, as well as the situation of his martial arts and weapons.

The Anning Guard has all this information; it just depends on how you use it.

So he used a heavy blade from the beginning, using the sharpness of the blade to suppress Qi Ze.

Qi Ze had an arrogant temper and insisted on competing with Li Rui in weapons.

Using one's own shortcomings to attack another's strengths.

The outcome can be imagined.

Then he got angry and opened his big move directly.

That was exactly what Li Rui wanted; if Qi Ze had competed in internal or external skills, he might have been wary, but he chose Li Rui's most domineering dragon form.

Of all the forms in the world, there are really not many that are higher in grade than the dragon form.

At least the crane form is not.

So losing became inevitable.

To put it bluntly, Qi Ze was held firmly in Li Rui's hands.

It seemed to have twists and turns, but it was actually as stable as an old dog.

Of course, the premise of these calculations must be that Li Rui is also strong enough.

The strength Li Rui displayed today also far exceeded Cao Wei's expectations.

"Not bad."

Jiang Linxian spoke first.

Then Ning Zhongtian's laughter sounded: "I admit defeat, I admit defeat, my big brother is peerless in the world!"

Li Rui stood quietly in place, motionless.

In others' eyes, it seemed like he was showing the demeanor of a grandmaster.

Actually, he was reviewing the battle.

"Hmm, about seventy percent."

This battle used about seventy percent of his strength.

"Can't be more, it's already the limit."

Any more, and I'm afraid I would only be able to open the immortal form, which is my trump card that cannot be shown to outsiders; perhaps I would have to add the Hidden Blade, and if I count the Hidden Blade, I must add the Blade-Nurturing Style...

"It's okay."

Li Rui put a smile back on his face.

He said to Qi Ze, who was helped up by Cao Wei: "I concede."

Qi Ze's eyes were complex, but he could afford to lose; he cupped his hands for the first time and said: "I concede."

Following these words.

Li Rui's position as Trade Captain was considered stable.

Qi Ze didn't say anything.

He knew.

If Li Rui hadn't withdrawn seventy percent of his strength at the end just now, he wouldn't be just a bit disheveled; lying down for three months wouldn't be a problem.

Nothing to say, just that his skills were inferior to others.

He came from the Duke's mansion with high spirits and wouldn't do the lowly thing of not admitting defeat after losing.

After speaking.

He also felt he had no face to continue staying, said a word to Cao Wei, and turned to leave.

This scene in the eyes of the soldiers of the Anning Guard... was fleeing in defeat.

"Captain Li is mighty!"

I don't know which broken gong throat shouted first.

In short.

It was like the first sound of a firecracker, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the martial arts field.

Fortunately, Li Rui didn't sink into the sound of "Captain Li."

But I have to admit.

This feeling is indeed extremely good.

Jiang Linxian also walked over at this time.

To be honest, he was really worried just now; after all, it concerned the Emperor, and if it were really botched, he certainly wouldn't feel good either.

Although he arranged Ning Zhongtian as a backup, it wasn't hard to see from Qi Ze's performance just now that this person had hidden his strength, and even if Ning Zhongtian went on stage, he might not necessarily be his match.

Battle is never just about comparing strength on paper; the outcome is hard to predict.

Li Rui being able to win wiped out the variables completely.

He smiled and said: "Li Laoge, I owe you a favor."

These words fell into Ning Zhongtian's ears.

He was so envious he was drooling acid.

There is a saying in Qinghe:

"Gold and silver are small matters, favors are big matters."

That is Jiang Linxian's favor, which in a sense is more valuable than fourteen great merits.

He didn't even go on stage at all.

Naturally, he didn't have this good fortune.

And he considered himself that even if he went on stage, he really might not be Qi Ze's match.

Li Rui was also overjoyed and bowed: "Many thanks, Chief Jiang."

Jiang Linxian only felt that Li Rui was a brilliant move he had made.

He laughed loudly, a rare sight, and left gracefully.

Everything had settled, and staying any longer would be useless.

Cao Wei also left with his three subordinates.

Very quickly, Li Rui was surrounded by soldiers watching the fun.

The army has always respected the strong; before, Li Rui convinced people with virtue and was respected on the surface, but now he convinced people with force, and they treated Li Rui as an idol from the bottom of their hearts.

Don't think about it, playing with a dragon is the ultimate dream of a man!

Although there are few people in the world who carry the dragon form, there are some, but there are really not many who can practice the dragon form to the point of releasing true Qi.

At least in the Anning Guard, Li Rui is the only one.

"Officer Li, release the dragon again to let the brothers see and learn."

"So handsome!"

"Do one, do one."

Looking at the crowd booing.

Li Rui just smiled slightly, and just when everyone thought they wouldn't see the big dragon today.

The next moment.

The divine dragon appeared again.

Drunken Immortal Tower.

"Li Laoge, you really don't show your true colors; I didn't expect you to be so strong!"

Wei Ming looked at Li Rui. Besides him, Ning Zhongtian, Ge Hong, and Tan Hu were all there.

Li Rui's events yesterday had spread throughout the Anning Guard.

Today was a celebration banquet specially held for Li Rui.

"Just some small tricks."

Li Rui was still the same as always.

He didn't distance himself from his previous friends just because he was promoted.

Small tricks?

Wei Ming wouldn't think so.

Based on his understanding of Li Rui, everything must have been prepared long ago.

As long as there wasn't a ten-percent certainty, Li Rui would choose to admit defeat rather than go on stage.

The few looked at Li Rui, all showing envious eyes.

Sixth-Rank Captain.

=9+Shu_ba

I'm afraid they won't have this opportunity in their lifetime.

Among them, Wei Ming and Ge Hong felt it the most deeply.

When they met Li Rui, Li Rui was still their subordinate, then step by step became a colleague, and now it's good, he has directly become their superior.

This change is truly sigh-inducing.

"Li Laoge, you wouldn't still be hiding moves, would you?"

Wei Ming suddenly had a thought.

Li Rui scolded with a smile: "Do you really think I'm one of those geniuses? If I, an old man, had that ability, would I still need to play the grandson for so long?"

Wei Ming nodded.

That makes sense.

According to Jiang Linxian's previous statement, Li Rui was valued when he was a horse groom for the Zhu family, then taught martial arts, and continued to be an undercover agent in Qinghe.

Li Rui's talent definitely wouldn't be very good, and he must have started practicing martial arts at least at fifty or sixty.

If he were truly a natural genius, why would Jiang Linxian let a genius be a horse groom all the time?

Being able to defeat the genius Qi Ze from the Duke of Wei's mansion must have certainly used all his strength.

Ge Hong spoke at this time: "Come, let's toast Li Laoge together."

Li Rui was promoted.

And the official position is Trade Captain.

The status is extremely special.

Unlike a Garrison Commander, the Trade Captain mainly assists in managing the trade between the two countries.

The trade between the two countries is a major event that His Majesty the Emperor personally watches.

Li Rui becoming Trade Captain, the power will definitely not be small.

Ning Zhongtian said: "Wait for the Ministry of Personnel's document to come down, and we'll get drunk for three days and three nights!"

"Chief Ning's words are reasonable."

Because of Qi Ze's interference, Li Rui's appointment document is still with the Ministry of Personnel.

Waiting to go through the process again.

However, Li Rui has already defeated Qi Ze, so there shouldn't be any more surprises.

Just as they were drinking and chatting.

A burst of noise suddenly sounded downstairs.

"Die, die, such a big tiger!"

"This is... a demonic beast!"

"Good heavens, how dare that person ride a demonic beast."

Exclamations continued.

Li Rui and the others heard this and turned their heads to look downstairs together.

Just see.

On the wide streets of Qinghe New City, a group of people with strange clothing, wearing animal skins, with burly bodies, and strange and weird patterns painted on their faces; these were things the people of the Yu Kingdom had never seen before.

What was even more shocking were the mounts under those people.

Not an ox, not a horse, not a donkey.

But a demonic beast.

"Green-haired white-tailed tiger, nine-horned silver lizard, purple-light spider..."

Li Rui upstairs recognized the origin of these demonic beasts at a glance.

Each one had demonic energy soaring to the sky.

Most ordinary Qinghe people hadn't even seen a demonic beast in their entire lives and looked at the team on the street like they were monsters.

Ning Zhongtian looked, his eyes narrowing slightly:

"They are Wu Kingdom people."

"I heard that the Wu Kingdom sent a team of envoys to check the place where the Trade Office is to be established; it should be them."

"Logically speaking, they should arrive tomorrow; why are they early?"

Wei Ming and Ge Hong and the others found it novel.

Although Qinghe is very close to the Southern Frontier.

It doesn't mean they are familiar with the Southern Frontier.

It can even be said that the vast majority of officials and commoners in Yunzhou know very little about the Southern Frontier.

Who told the Wu Kingdom to have been in a closed state before.

The borders between the two countries have a large number of troops guarding them.

Except for some smugglers with connections, others have no chance to come into contact.

These soldiers of the Annan Army are the same, at most taking a look from afar when patrolling.

On the streets of Qinghe.

The Wu Kingdom's envoy group slowly drove toward the County Office.

A young girl with healthy wheat-colored skin and two cute tiger teeth rode a saber-toothed black tiger in the middle of the team, her strong calves powerfully clamping the black tiger's belly.

She looked east and west.

She felt everything she saw was novel.

"Hey, Yu Kingdom people are so perverted, why is the bean curd sweet."

She just wanted to ask how to buy bean curd.

She was stopped by a burly strong man behind her:

"Xiaotang, follow the rules, have you forgotten the Great Wizard's instructions?"

"Oh."

The young girl named Xiaotang said oh.

She was about to turn her head and continue looking around.

Suddenly she felt a gaze cast from above.

She raised her small head.

Then her gaze collided in the air with an old man on the towering wooden building.

Instantly.

She only felt like falling into an ice cellar, as if being stared at by a beast god, her body swayed, and she almost fell off the saber-toothed black tiger.

Fortunately, the strong man behind her reacted fast enough.

Only then did he grab her.

"Xiaotang, what's wrong?"

The young girl's face turned pale, and it took a long time for her to barely squeeze out a smile.

"No... nothing."

Lowering her head, shrinking her body, she didn't dare to look in that direction again, muttering in her heart:

"The Great Wizard is right, Yu Kingdom people are all monsters."

Her heart was thumping wildly:

"Too scary, Yu Kingdom people are too scary."
