Chapter Twelve The First Brave General

  Li Changguo and the big fellow were like two male leopards fighting over a female leopard, staring at each other without blinking.

  Danger!

  Extremely dangerous!

  Kang De, who followed Li Changguo out, subconsciously reacted that this place was too dangerous and he couldn't help but want to escape far away. He quickly retreated, standing three zhang away, his eyes wide with fear, sizing up the two of them, but he didn't understand what was going on.

  These two people had never met before, why did they draw their swords and bows as soon as they met, and start a fierce battle at the slightest touch?

  Just as he was bewildered, Li Changguo and the big fellow simultaneously lifted their right feet, took a step forward, and stamped heavily on the ground.

  Bang!

  Two large feet stomped on the ground, producing a shocking sound, as if a giant hammer was pounding the ground. The ground could not withstand the weight and shook violently.

  The two men stretched out their right hands and grasped each other tightly, with bulging veins on their arms like earthworms.

  "Hah!"

  The two men let out a loud roar, their deep voices like thunder, their presence awe-inspiring, shaking people's eardrums.

  "Ah!"

  A burst of heart-pounding joint friction sounds came, and the eyes of the two people shot out a fierce light, as if it were the scorching sun in the ninth heaven, exceptionally bright.

  At this moment, the air solidified, and there were only two people competing.

  "Hoo-hoo!"

  The breathing of the two men became more and more urgent, their faces flushed like they were drunk on wine. The tightly clasped hands underwent a change, Li Changguo's right hand slowly encroaching on the big man's territory, slowly pressing the big man's right hand down.

  "Get up!"

  The big Han gritted his teeth and let out a low growl, like an injured leopard.

  His originally steady right hand began to tremble, with bulging veins that seemed about to burst. The veins on his neck and forehead were like squirming earthworms, very frightening.

  A pair of eyeballs bulged out, as if they were about to fall off.

  Li Changguo was no better off, with bulging veins on his arms, neck and forehead like the gnarled branches of an old tree. His eyeballs were congested, protruding from their sockets.

  No matter how hard the Great Han tried, they couldn't turn things around and were eventually suppressed by Li Changguo.

  "I lost!"

  Dahan conceded defeat, Li Changguo retracted his strength, and the two men gazed at each other, discovering a look of admiration and excitement in each other's eyes, suddenly feeling a sense of mutual appreciation.

  "Li Changguo!"

  "Li Siye!"

  Two people spoke at the same time to introduce themselves, and as soon as they spoke, they found that they had spoken at the same time, with a deep sense of tacit understanding, exchanging a smile, everything was understood without words.

  Li Siye?

  So it was this fierce man!

  Li Changguo was indeed somewhat unexpected, sizing up Li Siye, and the more he looked at him, the more pleasing to his eyes, a strong sense of familiarity arose.

  Li Siye was a famous Mo Dao general of the Tang Dynasty, eight feet tall, with infinite strength, and superhuman power. He was skilled in using Mo Dao, according to historical records "When Li Siye wielded his knife, both men and horses were cut to pieces". The brush strokes are like axe chops, although only a few words, but they are vividly portrayed the heroic spirit of Li Siye who dominated thousands of armies.

  Due to his bravery in battle, he was always at the forefront of the charge and was praised as a "Divine General", widely admired by people.

  "No wonder it's so hard to deal with!" Li Changguo also did his best, and only then was he able to defeat Li Siye. His admiration for Li Siye grew even more.

  At the same time, Li Siye was also sizing up Li Changguo, and after taking a good look at him, he couldn't help but praise him highly, his favorable impression of him greatly increasing. "Let's go! Let's go drinking!"

  "Good!"

  Li Changguo's response was brief and to the point, consisting of just one word.

  Li Siye grasped Li Changgui's hand, about to leave, when one of Gao Xianzhi's personal guards hastily approached and said: "General Li, the Vice Commander wants you to go quickly, he is waiting for you to discuss military strategy."

  "No time! I'm going to drink!" Li Siye's response made Li Changguo extremely surprised, and he couldn't help but take a good look at Li Siye.

  Li Siye was the Colonel of the Anxi Protectorate and a favorite general of Gao Xianzhi, but had not yet been promoted to deputy commander. Logically, when Gao Xianzhi consulted with him on military matters, he should have unconditionally carried out orders. Unexpectedly, however, he flatly refused.

  Just reject it if you want to reject it, and then find an excuse for drinking. Is there a more rotten excuse than this in the world?

  "Y...". Qīn Wèi was stunned for a moment, and it took him half a day to react. He hadn't misheard, and his face changed color involuntarily. He hesitated for a moment before reminding him, "Li Xiaowei, this is misleading the military, this is a serious crime!"

  Drinking is not urgent, it can be done another day! Li Changguo wanted to have a good drink with heroes like Li Siye, but he knew the military situation was critical and couldn't afford to delay, so he persuaded him with kind words.

  "It's nothing!" Li Siye waved his hand generously and rushed to the imperial guard, saying: "Go tell Vice Commander that I, Li Changguo, and Brother Li are competing in strength. I lost! If we don't drink now, when will we?"

  Having said that, he didn't care about the reactions of his guards and grasped Li Changguo's hand, quickly walking away.

  Kang De followed Li Changguo and Li Siye for a few steps before realizing that they were heroes among heroes, and it was not suitable for him to appear as a low-ranking official. He stopped and walked away on his own.

  Qin Wei gazed at Li Siye's back, shook his head helplessly, and returned to the military headquarters to report to Gao Xianzhi.

  As soon as he entered the military headquarters, Gao Xianzhi raised an eyebrow and asked: "Where is Shi Ye? Why hasn't he come?"

  Qin Wei hesitated for a moment and carefully said: "Report to Deputy Commander, Li Xiaowei has gone out drinking."

  "Drinking?" A surprised voice rang out, and Gao Xianzhi, Bian Lingcheng, and Duan Xiushi were all shocked.

  Gao Xianzhi and others were waiting for Li Siye to discuss military affairs, but he went drinking instead. This was a serious disregard for military discipline, who wouldn't be annoyed? Gao Xianzhi's face immediately fell, and Duan Xiushi's expression also didn't look good. Duan Xiushi worried about Li Siye.

  "Deputy Commander Li has a message for you!" The Imperial Guard's head dropped, his face pale with fear.

  "Speak!"

  Gao Xianzhi said only one word, like a thunderclap on the ground, which scared the imperial guard so much that he hastily explained: "Commander Li said that he had competed with Li Changguo in strength and lost to him, so he went to drink."

  "Really?"

  Gao Xianzhi's voice was high-pitched and sharp to the ear, he suddenly stood up, his neck stretched long, staring fiercely at the Imperial Guard.

  Not only was Gao Xianzhi shocked, but also Bian Lingcheng and Duan Xiushi stretched their necks to take a look. Their necks were as long as those of giraffes, and they all had disbelieving expressions in their eyes.

  "A thousand truths, ten thousand certainties!" This imperial guard said this when he went to look for Li Siye and saw him competing with Li Changgui in a test of strength.

  "Haha!"

  Gao Xianzhi looked up at the sky and burst out laughing, extremely delighted, as if he had just won a great victory.

  "Cock-a-doodle-doo!"

  Bian Lingcheng was also laughing, but his voice was very sharp and fine, sounding like a duck quacking, with a smile on his face.

  "Haha!"

  Duan Xiushi's hanging heart finally fell.

  "Xī yè ah Xī yè, your strength is boundless, your power surpasses that of ordinary men, no one can be your match, not even the great general himself. You are the number one brave general of Anxi Protectorate! Who would have thought that you were defeated by Li Changguo? Now, the title of number one brave general has been taken over!" Gao Xianzhi laughed with extreme delight.

  In terms of strength, martial arts and bravery, although the Anxi Protectorate had many hidden dragons and sleeping tigers, with fierce generals as numerous as clouds, there was not a single person who could surpass Li Siye. Li Siye was absolutely the number one fierce general of the Anxi Protectorate.

  No one had expected that this title would actually be the end of Li Changguo.

  "Bring wine!" Gao Xianzhi waved his right hand and said with great fanfare: "Li Changguo's bravery is actually above that of Shi Ye, if I were to recruit him as a personal guard, it would be a waste of talent! Haha!"

  "Anxi can get such a brave general, one cup is not enough?" Bian Lingcheng had objections.

  "The supervisor is right, we should drink three big cups!" Gao Xianzhi laughed with great joy.

  Is there anything more delightful for Commander Gao Xianzhi than having a brave general like Li Changguo?
