Before the imperial city, there was silence, and only the whimpering of the cold wind on the snow flakes, the sound of snow falling on the ice of the moat, and the sound of people's own breathing.

These big men looked at Ning Que, and they frowned at random, seeming to be very puzzled on the day General Xiahou left Beijing, what Mr. Thirteen Academy wanted to do.

The complex look and sleepy huò are actually cover-ups.

They all knew that rumor, knowing that the military had investigated Ning Que ’s connection with those murder cases, so they could guess his origin, but from summer to autumn and then to the winter, Changan City has been calm for a long time, all over the world He thought that when Ning Que had given up, he really appeared.

In a silence, everyone looked alert and looked at Ning Que with hidden anxiety. Wenyuange University scholar Zeng Jing in the crowd, looking at Sang Sang beside Ning Que, looked worried.

Prince Li Peiyan took a step forward slowly, watching Ning Que angrily said, "What do you want to do?"

General Xu Shi looked at Ning Que with a blank expression and said, "If you want to assassinate me Datang Wang Tang in the face of Manchu Civil War, I will admire your courage and stupidity."

Heavy snow continued to fall towards the Imperial City.

Ning Que brushed away some thick snow on his shoulders and said, "Even if I have this courage, I will not be stupid to such a degree, but since I am here, I always have to do something."

Xu Shi said lightly, "What can you do with Tang Lu in front?"

This change in front of the imperial city of Méndòng shocked Yu Linjun and Ouchi Shii. The **** leader who had previously sent Xiahou to export had already ran to the palace with the fastest speed, wanting to inform the emperor of the news here His Majesty.

Many members of the imperial court came from around the square, walked behind the adults, opened umbrellas, and shielded the adults from the wind and snow. Before the Zhu wall, many huās with different faces were opened.

Ning Que's **** umbrella has been closed, and Sang Sauna is in his hands. The master and servant are standing in the wind and snow calmly, watching the more and more umbrellas in front of them.

The yīn shadow of the umbrella enveloped the cheeks of the adults, so they could no longer see the emotions on their faces, nor could they see what they were thinking in their eyes.

Ning Que looked at Xu Shiping and said, "Tang Law first, this is the iron law of the Academy. As a disciple of the Academy and a student of the Confucius, of course I will abide by it. It seems really ridiculous to the extreme. "

Xu Shi frowned slightly, and said, "So many elders in the court stood in the snow and talked to you. Is it because you want to listen to your grievances?"

Ning Que did not pay any attention to the leader of the Datang military, turned to look at Xiahou, said: "Many people are guessing what I will do, I believe you have been guessing, in fact, from the day I decided to kill you, I I'm guessing what I will do. "

Indeed, the most important figures of the Datang Empire in front of the imperial city have been speculating on what Ning Que would do. Even if he was seen at this time, he did not know what he was going to do.

The cold wind, cold snow, and the Zhu wall gradually became cold. Ning Que looked at Xiahou seriously and said, "It wasn't until autumn that I finally understood what I should do."

"I want to challenge you."

...

...

His voice was not very clear in the whispering and whimpering wind and snow, but the content of this sentence clearly penetrated the wind and snow and passed into everyone's ears.

The voice gradually disappeared on the wall of Zhu Sè Palace. A thin piece of paper floated out of Ning Que ’s sleeves, ignoring the heavy snow falling from the sky, and slowly and straightly floated to Xiahou ’s body and the imperial city. No matter how strong the wind is, no matter how heavy the snow is, it seems to have no effect on this thin paper.

Xiahou looked silently at Ning Que not far away, and looked at the face that seemed to be held by countless threads, slowly floating over the white paper, and his face shrouded in the shadow of the umbrella, without any emotion.

He raised his right hand and grabbed the thin paper floating to him.

That is a challenge document.

...

...

Starting from Ning Que's words to challenge Xiahou, the imperial city became quieter and silent, and even the sound of the wind and snow seemed to disappear, and everyone's ears were hearing the words he said. , All eyes are on the thin paper that is moving slowly and firmly in the wind and snow.

Ning Que wants to challenge General Xiahou? Everyone thought they had heard it wrong, because in their view, it was something that would never happen.

The people in the court of course knew that Ning Que was a close disciple of Confucius, and he also learned a skill of Taoism from Master Yan Se. After less than two years of monastic practice, he was already a strong man of dòng Profound Realm.

Dòng Xuan Shang Realm, in the eyes of mortals in the world, is already close to a first-class figure of a fairy. However, decades ago, General Xiahou was already the pinnacle of martial arts and one of the most powerful men in the world. What is Ning Que lacking, and what are the qualifications to challenge Xiahou?

It's like a huā going to challenge a forest, a praying mantis going to challenge a carriage, a jī egg going to challenge a stone mountain, and a beggar going to challenge a great majesty.

General Xu Shi thought silently in his heart that Ning Que was probably really crazy by Bī. If not, how could he do such a crazy thing?

The expression on the face of His Royal Highness Prince Li Peiyan was a little stiff, but in an instant he became milder again. He felt that he probably guessed Ning Que's idea.

——The feud of killing the father is not common, and it is impossible to violate the will of the academy and the law of the Tang Dynasty. Then come to challenge Xiahou, even if you lose, it is still a treat.

People in front of the imperial city, after being shocked, came up with ideas in these two directions. If Ning Que was not mad, then he challenged General Xiahou, and he just sought the comfort of God.

Looking at Ning Que, who was bathed in snow and wind, and looking at his calm expression, the big guys didn't think he was really crazy, so he thought that there wouldn't be too **** things happening next.

It is impossible for Ning Que to defeat General Xiahou. Even if General Xiahou wins in this duel, thinking of the Academy and the Master, it is impossible to really kill the thirteen.

Yes, this should be the case.

However, the following pictures directly destroyed all their imagination and expectations.

Ning Que took a small knife from Sang Sang, pierced his left palm with the blade, and then began to move. The blade moved slowly on the palm, and the sharp blade slowly cut out a long mouth, and the blood began The slightly white ròu skin that oozed out was instantly stained red.

There was a cry of exclamation in front of the imperial city, and the sound of inhaling air. People watched the blade cutting slowly in his palm, as if feeling the sharp blade was cutting his body, and it was extremely painful.

Ning Que was not affected by these exclamations. The expression on his face was calm and very focused. It seemed that instead of cutting his own palm, he wanted to engrave a huā in his palm.

"Ning Que! Are you crazy!"

Wen Yuange Bachelor Zeng Jing could no longer keep silent, walked out of the crowd with anxiety, and watched Sang Sang shouted loudly, "You haven't stopped him yet!"

Sang Sang lowered his head and looked at the boots stepping on the snow.

The face of His Royal Highness suddenly became very pale, and the snow brows of General Xu Shi suddenly fell, as if it was difficult to bear the load. All the faces in front of the Imperial City were shocked.

Only Xiahou remained expressionless and silent. He watched Ning Que cut his palm calmly and attentively. The two iron eyebrows in the yīn shadow slowly picked up.

What shocked everyone in the field, and even felt unbelievable, is not the pain that Ning lack of self-cutting may bring, but the meaning of his action.

The Tang people are still martial arts, and their love is simple and direct. When they don't agree with each other, they often use fists to face each other. Duel has become the most common scenery in Chang'an City. On the night of chūn days two years ago, Ning Que and Sang Sang returned from Weicheng to Chang'an, and saw a duel on the street that night.

At the time, he explained to the little shìnv beside him that the rule of the Changan City duel is to cut the sleeve to represent the challenge, and that is called a live game, as long as the winner is divided, if the challenger cuts everything in his left palm , It means that this duel is a dead end.

At this time, in the imperial blizzard, Ning Que slowly cut the palm of his left hand, which represented his challenge to Xiahou today. It was not the comfort of the gods that people had previously thought, but a must. The dead end of life and death.

Although the civil and military officials present were respected and impossible to face challenges, they all lived in Chang'an City. After all, they would not know this very famous rule.

So they were shocked and even pale.

Today's challenge, in their view, of course, General Xiahou will certainly win, but if it is really a dead end, if Ning Que is dead, as a disciple of his master, he will still bring great power to the Tang Dynasty. The shock of terror.

Li Peiyan stared at Ning Que with a pale face, and said, "You intend to use your life to exchange for the anger of the dean? Is it worth it? And how can the dean be used by you?"

The blade had cut the root of the palm, Ning Que stopped moving, and raised his head, the expression on his face was still so calm, it seemed that the pain in the palm had no effect on him.

He looked at the highness of the prince and said, "What does this matter have to do with it? Could you be afraid that I will challenge you next time?"

Xu Shi looked at him with a blank expression and said, "The duel of life and death situation requires the approval of the government. I can tell you that throughout the Tang Dynasty, no one dared to approve this duel."

"When the Dao stone monk came to challenge me, it was approved by the military department. When Liu Yiqing challenged me, it was also approved by the military department. I challenge General Xiahou today. Does the military department not approve?"

Ning Que looked at him and asked seriously, "Do I still have a face in the military?"

Xu Shi frowned slightly and stopped talking.

Ning Que looked at everyone in front of the Imperial City and said, "You all say that Tang Law is the first. Well, I will challenge Tang Law's rules. I want to know who can stop me?"

Then he looked at Xiahou and said, "Unless you don't accept it."

Xia Hou slowly whispered the thin challenge book between his fingers. The expression on his face was a little weird. He looked at him and said, "Your choice is indeed beyond my expectations."

Ning Que said: "I have never taken the usual path."

Xia Hou flicked the thin paper in his hand and said: "I saw this paper slow in the wind and snow before, and I know that you have a high degree of sharpness in your mental ability. It is a pity that your snowy mountains and seas are not knowable. ~ The cào control of the world's vitality is extremely bad, even worse than the dòng profound realm you should have now. Such a bad you actually wants to cross the border to challenge this general. I can only say that you are on a dead end. "

Ning Que looked at him and said, "I don't have any other way to go, so I have to take this way. As for whether it's a dead end, I always have to walk to the end to know."

Xiahou said: "For you, challenging me head-on is the worst choice."

Ning Que said: "Since it is the only choice, then it is the best choice."

...

...

(Ning lacks this choice, which was decided when I opened the book, that is, the night after he and Sang Sang entered Chang'an City, the later text has been determined. It is really the only choice, the best choice, but he is not It ’s not a cool concept like the courage of an individual, it ’s just the determination after careful thought. After reporting here, there is still some time to kill Xiahou. This thing is just the bone. I have something else to write. Those are ròu, very important, and I still have it today.)
