Chapter Twenty-Seven: Fighting the Prince
Chapter Twenty-Seven: Fighting the Prince
The next day, Zongzheng's Third Emperor Uncle invited him to breakfast with Nasha and Fan Yingying.
The third prince said to Zongzheng,
"Today, my eldest brother Zong Zhengxian will definitely let the eight heavenly marshals of Shu compete with you in the name of martial arts, so that you will be injured and take the opportunity to kill you. ”
Nasha listened, stopped the chopsticks in her hand,
"Eight Heavenly Marshals?"
The third prince glanced at Nasha and continued to say to Zongzheng.
"That's right! We have eight marshals in Shu, Wen Taowu is incomparable,
That year, I assisted my nephew in attacking the entire territory of the Jin Kingdom, and it was not my god who descended to earth.
At that time, he had already brought Lu Fengxian, Tai Shici, Zhao Zilong, and Dian Wei.
The four of them are my best friends.
And Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Ma Chao swore to follow the prince to the death.
With the strength of eight people, he leads an army of 800,000 people, and can compete with you and Wanyan Thunderbolt, Yelu Zhongyi, Lian Po, and Xiahou Min's million-strong army, and he has a slight upper hand.
So even if you take so many countries and defeat the Qin army of millions, my eldest brother Zong Zhengxian is still dissatisfied with you. ”
"It seems that Shu will not be an enemy in the future, regardless of blood relationship or comprehensive strength of the country, it will be difficult to be an enemy, I really hope that the future emperor will be the third uncle, so that peace will last forever." ”
Zong Zheng knew that his third uncle, Zong Zhengchen, was not a man of his word, otherwise Kun would have taken Shu a long time ago.
"Third Emperor Uncle, I remember that you didn't call Zong Zhengchen at the beginning?" Nasha put down the bowl in her hand and looked at Zong Zhengchen.
"The past is grand, why mention it again. Zong Zhengchen picked up the dishes and chopsticks, began to eat, and gave Zong Zheng, Nasha, and Fan Yingying vegetables respectively.
"Yesterday, I have sent Yan Thunderbolt to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Xiang clan in the old land of Chu State, and Yelu Zhongyi led 200,000 troops to attack the Zhao clan of Zhao and Han in the old land of Liu Guanzhang.
The old Di Tian clan of Qi State has been cleaned up by Wang Zixi's bandits, and when I fight for the Zong government today, I will go to clean up one hundred and eight generals in Qi City of the Song State, Wagang Mountain, the old land of the Tang State, and a group of remnants of Yelu in the old land of the Jin State. "Zong Zheng asked Nasha to take him back to Bai Yi City, the national capital, last night to deal with these matters.
"Do you still know that you have internal worries? I thought that my nephew of Zongzheng was proud of his achievements and looked down on these small rebel forces, but many large countries were overthrown by the rebel forces of the small spark that was ignored.
Niece and daughter-in-law, the power of Mongolia in the north of your Jin Kingdom is becoming stronger and stronger, and each soldier is one enemy and ten, which is extremely terrifying, and you should be careful when you hear that you are going south to attack your Jin Kingdom.
You can't be distracted by the luck of this government, and you can't ignore the major affairs of your country.
The battle of Chang'an in the Qin State has cost the people and money, and the vitality has been greatly damaged, and there have been uprisings in many places, especially the female general Qin Xue, who is about to take one-third of the territory of the Qin State.
You can be prepared for a big battle.
The southern Turks of the Zongzheng Empire were ambitious, and when they took the small countries in the south, they would definitely go north and form a flank attack with the Mongols to attack the Jin State and the Zongzheng Empire. ”
Zong Zhengchen placed his hands on his knees.
"Third Emperor Uncle, you may not know that my nephew is already a demigod at this time, and a mere mortal general can't help me. ”
Zongzheng put down the dishes and chopsticks and wiped the grease stains from the corners of his mouth.
"You are also called a demigod? The real god relies on his own infinite divine power, and you rely on increasing the temperature of existing objects to increase their temperature and ignite, and you are still far away.
Nasha just didn't want to hurt your self-esteem and didn't point it out.
Any god who protects the country can use you as a plaything. ”
Zong Zhengchen watched Nasha and Fan Yingying finish eating, and motioned to his subordinates to remove the leftovers from the table.
"Then let's go! Your Emperor Bozong is still waiting for you to get out of trouble. ”
Zong Zhengchen got up and motioned for Zong Zheng and the three of them to go to the banquet site.
"Didn't you just have a meal, and you still went to the banquet?" Fan Yingying felt a little different.
"At the banquet, how can we eat together as a family alone, the banquet is just a formality. It's not a place to eat a full meal. Zong Zhengchen turned his head and said to Fan Yingying.
The four of them came to the banquet, and the civil and military officials of Shu were already sitting in their respective seats.
Zongzheng and they sat near the emperor of Shu in the center.
"I heard that my nephew has a surname and no name, why don't you choose a name for Zong Zhengxian's nephew as my grandfather's father?
After all, he is a descendant of the emperor of Shu, and he has a surname but no name, isn't it ridiculous and generous. The eldest prince Zong Zhengxian walked to the red carpet in the middle of the banquet and bowed to the emperor of Shu.
"No need! I'm a dignified emperor of the Zongzheng Empire, and it's been almost twenty years, and I suddenly add a name, and I don't feel very comfortable. I think that's good, the emperor is too worried. Thank you. ”
Zong Zheng walked up to Zong Zhengxian and said to him.
"Dare to ask the emperor's grandfather, in order to save his fifth brother's son, the third emperor's uncle attacked the city and plundered the land and expanded the territory, is there anything wrong?"
Zong Zheng bowed to the Emperor of Shu and squinted at Zong Zhengxian.
The emperor of Shu frowned, worried for a while, and replied: "There is nothing wrong with the third prince saving his virtuous nephew, but the country is a country, relatives are relatives, and they have traveled thousands of miles, and not an inch of territory belongs to Shu, so it is really difficult to explain to the subjects of Shu." ”
"That is, my father is magnanimous, but he only revoked the third brother as the crown prince, and he did not blame him, is there nothing wrong?"
Zong Zhengxian took the opportunity to echo.
"That great emperor, do you know why the Tang Kingdom destroyed the country?" Zong Zheng walked up to Zong Zhengxian and looked around at him.
"That's because you made something out of nothing, wanted to add sin, and satisfied your ambitions, so you attacked the Tang Kingdom. "Zong Zheng is idle and does not show weakness.
"Colluding with Qin, deceiving me, saying that they have captured my imperial sister Lu Yue, and want the Jin State to exchange the city, I helped the Tang State solve the locust plague, and I was kind to the Tang State, but they attacked the Zongzheng Empire, how can this be explained?
If it weren't for the fact that the five princes of the Tang Kingdom, who had a deep friendship with my late father, Emperor Zongzhenghan, and helped me build the country and expand the territory when I was the first to build the country, I would have taken the Tang Kingdom a long time ago, and let them survive for so long?
Attacking the Tang Kingdom, or after the Tang Kingdom killed the five princes, I kept the Tang Kingdom before, and I had already given them enough face. ”
Zong Zheng raised his right hand and pointed his index finger to the sky, very emotional.
"Then Shu is your hometown, and Shu helped you take a large part of the territory of Jin when you founded the country, shouldn't you be grateful?"
Zong Zheng thought that it was a good time to take the opportunity to ask Zong Zheng for territory and cities.
Zong Zheng looked at the civil and military officials of Shu on the left and right, and their eyes were like torches, looking at Zong Zheng.
"What should you do if your father-killer is your uncle?"
"Born in the emperor's family, how can he be connected by blood, naturally it is a righteous annihilation of relatives and revenge for his father!" Zong Zhengxian put his hands behind his waist.
"In that case, then why do you have to hang on to the reason of blood, let me be grateful, you killed my father Emperor Zong Zhenghan, you are close to me, I am the enemy!" Zong Zheng's right hand grabbed Zong Zhengxian's throat.
A spear stabbed at Zongzheng, who hurriedly dodged and withdrew his right hand.
Nasha, Fan Yingying, and Zong Zhengchen immediately got up and stood up.
Zong Zheng looked at the other end of the spear, a strong man with a face like black charcoal and a beard.
"You are Zhang Fei, one of the Eight Heavenly Commanders, and this is your Eight Snake Spear?" Zong Zheng looked at the strong man in front of him in armor.
"There is no zhangba, but there are still eight feet, take your head, just like probing for a bag!" Zhang Fei took the snake spear beside him.
Then three people walked behind Zong Zhengxian, namely Huang Zhong and Wei Yan who were holding a big knife, and Ma Chao who was holding a spear.
"Xiansun, your father is also my son, there is a misunderstanding here, don't be impulsive!" The Emperor of Shu got up and waved his right hand to Zong Zheng.
"Grandpa Huang, I just listened to some gossip, no wind and no waves, but since it is a banquet, then I will compete with the four heavenly marshals to help the fun!" Zong Zheng turned around and bowed to the Emperor of Shu.
"That's good!Then you can come one by one!" the Emperor of Shu sat back in his chair.
"Let's go together, I'll just do it with my bare hands!" Zong Zheng turned back again, his eyes full of murderous energy.
Zong Zhengxian hurriedly returned to his seat.
Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Ma Chao raised their weapons and rushed towards Zongzheng.
Zong Zheng quickly dodged, and after several fights, he jumped into the air, kicked Huang Zhong and Wei Yan with both feet, and clenched his hands into fists and smashed at Zhang Fei and Ma Chao respectively, the four of them were shocked by Zong Zheng and took a few steps back, almost fell, Zong Zheng fell to the ground, and looked around at the four of them.
I thought in my heart: Any one of the four people is on a par with Wanyan Thunderbolt and Yelu Zhongyi in force.
I heard that Lu Fengxian, Tai Shici, Zhao Zilong, and Dian Wei are all above these four people, and it is indeed difficult to suppress them easily with their bare hands.
At this time, Zong Zheng saw this, thinking that it would be difficult for Zhang Fei and the four of them to kill Zong Zheng, but the four heavenly marshals were defeated, and it was rumored that it would insult the name of Shu State.
After all, Zong Zheng once easily killed the top ten generals of Zhao State by himself.
Then he stood up and clapped his hands,
"The virtuous nephew is good at martial arts! The four heavenly marshals should step aside! Duanmu Yu, the god of our country's protector, has long admired the virtuous nephew, why don't you let him learn from the virtuous nephew, how about the point?"
Zong Zheng is worried about using peace reasons to end this contest, if he fights with the god of protection, even if he loses, it is excusable.
If Duanmu Jue killed the killer, there were also Nasha and Fan Yingying present, and they could be stopped in time, so they responded.
"Xiansun, that's a god, can you grasp it?" The Emperor of Shu had not yet seen Zong Zhengxian's intentions and persuaded Zong Zheng.
"Try it and find out!" Zong Zheng gave Nasha and Fan Yingying a look after speaking.
Fan Yingying turned her head and thought: Borrowing a knife to kill someone, can I still save you?
Nasha nodded.
Zhang Fei and the four also returned to their seats.
A figure loomed in front of Zong Zheng, and after a while, he found that it was a handsome man with an extremely white complexion.
The man opened the fan in his hand and fanned it.
Zong Zhengchen asked Nasha, who was standing next to him.
"Niece-in-law, have you heard of this Duanmu Yu?"
Nasha stared at Duanmu Yu for a long time and replied,
"This divine power should be above the god of Qin State's protector, if Zongzheng's life is in danger, I can also save him, he may be injured. ”
"Let's start, Emperor Xiao'er of the Zongzheng Empire!" Duanmu Yu looked at Zongzheng with a wicked smile.
Zongzheng folded his hands and placed them on his chest, reciting a mantra.
Zong Zhengxian's clothes instantly caught fire, which frightened Zong Zhengxian, and he got up and slapped the flames left and right.
Zhang Fei beside him was very anxious, and hurriedly picked up the wine jar and poured it towards Zong Zhengxian, and the fire instantly rushed to Zong Zhengxian's hair.
Duanmu Yu covered his mouth and nose with a fan, laughed evilly, and gently fanned Zong Zhengxian, and the fire on Zong Zhengxian's body was extinguished.
The angry Zong Zhengxian kicked over the table under his feet, and everyone looked at Zong Zhengxian and laughed.
"I don't want to live, what are you laughing at!" Zong Zhengxian roared angrily at the civil and military officials.
Zong Zheng knew that Zong Zheng had passed through the fire just now, and coupled with the fact that he had no place to be ashamed at the moment, it was a good time for him to have no psychological defense.
"Uncle Emperor, you killed Zong Zhenghan, why didn't you cut down the grass and eradicate the roots at that time?"
"You deserve to kill him! You'll have to die in a while!" Zong Zheng said in a hurry, and said without hesitation.
"So, you admit to killing my father?" Zong Zheng crossed his arms and looked at Zong Zhengxian.
After listening to this, Zong Zheng felt that he had said the wrong thing, and found that his father was looking at him.
"I mean that someone else deserved to kill him, and I didn't kill him!
"Presumptuous! As the crown prince, the future emperor of Shu, what should it mean that your younger brother was killed!" The emperor of Shu trembled with anger, stood up and pointed at Zong Zhengxian.
"The child knows it's wrong, the child is going to change his clothes!" Zong Zhengxian said and left in embarrassment.
"Xiao'er, you've had enough of the pranks, let's get started!" Duanmu Yu said to Zongzheng with a fan.
"Look at yourself!" Zong Zheng replied Duanmu Yu.
Seeing that his clothes were also on fire, he shook his body unhurriedly, the flames disappeared, and the burned clothes returned to their original state.
"Are there any other tricks?" Duanmu Yu looked at Zong Zheng with disdain.
Zong Zheng was surprised: If Meng Duan had beaten me half to death, Duanmu Yu should have beaten himself to death, otherwise what was his purpose in this competition?
"I'm afraid you won't survive today, forget it, you admit defeat and save yourself some face as a god of protecting the country!"
"Is Zong Zheng crazy, do you want to anger Duanmu Yu?" Fan Yingying was dumbfounded.
"Provoked?haha, only mortals can be so narrow-minded, you should have a killer weapon, but you may not have beaten me, so you said that, come on! Let me see what the killer weapon of the demigod and half-human Zongzheng is?"
Duanmu Yu is obviously the one who has gone through the big scene.
"Yan Lu, God sacrifices to the underworld!" As Zong Zheng roared all his life, a huge red-haired wild boar appeared under Zong Zheng's crotch, ten feet high.
Everyone present was shocked.
"When did this idiot reach my rank?" Nasha looked up, looking at Somasa in the sky.
"Does this guy have two hits? God sacrifices to the underworld! Fan Yingying also raised her head and looked at Zong Zheng.
Duanmu Yu closed the fan and said to himself,
"It seems a little tricky, but it can still be handled, haha!"
High in the sky, Somasa looked at himself sitting on the back of the red boar, and knew that it was stronger than the last time he summoned it to crash into the air.
"What nonsense! In this way, the entire civil and military officials present will die in the fight!" Fan Yingying stomped her feet angrily.
"Fengluo, isolate the space!" As Duanmu Yu's gestures continued to change, a kind of space was formed, and others were outside the space.
"Isolate the space, if Zongzheng's life is in danger, how can I rescue him quickly!" Nasha stomped her foot in a hurry.
"Let me show you the new moves I have recently learned! Yan Lu, Flame Burning Love!" As Zong Zheng closed his eyes, his gesture pointed at Duanmu Yu,
The red-haired wild boar opened its mouth, and a dragon-like flame rushed towards Duanmu Yu in its mouth.
Duanmu Yu opened the fan, and a fan, "Fengluo, light slash dragon!"
Nineteen fan bones flew out of the light and slashed towards the fire dragon, splitting into nineteen flames, and slowly extinguished the flames.
Duanmu Yu flew in front of Zongzheng,
"Do you know that mortals stealing immortal power is a death sentence, and the emperor stealing immortal power is a death sentence, and the country is razed to the ground?"
"So what? Then you can kill me for Gui Zhanhua!" At this time, Zongzheng was already exhausted.
"Kill you, your little ability is all a false shelf, it's okay to deal with mortals, you can't even beat Mengxuan!"
In his words, Duanmu Yu had a somewhat contemptuous tone.
"Then what do you mean?" Zong Zheng looked at Duanmu Yu.
"I can apply to accept you as an apprentice, and in the future, you can learn immortal power openly. Duanmu Yu was still fanning his fan.
"The competition is not over yet, the villain died from talking too much, don't you know?" Zong Zheng took out the immortal cultivation book from his arms, and turned to the immortal art that he had just learned half of last time.
"What is that? At this time, reading is to defeat me with knowledge?" Duanmu Yu smiled slightly.
Zong Zheng ignored Duanmu Yu, closed the book, put it in his arms, and closed his eyes.
Say the mantra and shout,
"Thunder, bind the thunder!"
Duanmu Yu was puzzled, and said in his mouth,
"I haven't beaten you either, is this brain stimulated by something? What are you doing? It's good if you can learn a few tricks of Yan Spirit's immortal power, but you have to ascend to the sky in one step, and you can't learn thunder spirit?"
Zong Zheng opened his eyes, saw that Duanmu Yu was safe and sound, and scratched his head,
Look at the red-haired boar below, there is no trick in the mouth.
"That's right, that's right. ”
"Alas, I still want to take you as an apprentice, your brain is not good, forget it, give you a kick, you can lose!"
Duanmu Yu raised his right foot and used all his immortal power to kick at Zongzheng's face.
"I'll go! I can't kick my head into scum!" Fan Yingying's eyes widened, thinking that if Zongzheng died like this, he could go back to the temple to make an errand.
Zong Zheng closed his eyes and shouted again,
"Thunder, bind the thunder!"
Nasha turned into light and smashed through Duanmu Yu's isolation space with force, just arriving in the space.
Seeing that Duanmu Yu's toes were only an inch away from Zongzheng, he stopped.
Duanmu Yu felt that he couldn't move.
Five rays of light appeared in the sky above the isolation space and smashed on him, and Duanmu Yu smashed heavily on the forehead of the red-haired wild boar.
The red-haired boar is gone.
Zongzheng also fell.
Nasha quickly caught Zongzheng and landed on the ground, next to Duanmu Yu.
"Idiot, idiot, are you alright? Wake up! Wake up!" Nasha kept shaking Somasa's body.
"He's fine, it's just that his immortal strength and physical strength are overdrawn, and he faints, so it's okay to delay for a few days. It's me who has something. Duanmu Yu staggered to his feet.
"It's good that he doesn't have enough fairy power, otherwise I would have been killed by him!"
Duanmu Yu sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, placed his hands on his two knees, and after a while, stood up.
"I'm going to get him back, he's like this, I'm dead with one finger, there's no point!"
Duanmu Yu looked at the retraction of the isolation space and bowed to the Emperor of Shu.
"Your Majesty, your virtuous grandson should not be a pro, his psychology is not like that of our world, no one can have two kinds of immortal power in a false frame, both are one kind of immortal power to reach their own psychological limit, in order to open another kind of immortal power!"
At this time, Zong Zheng changed his clothes, took Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and dozens of soldiers, and pointed at Zong Zheng in Nasha's arms with a sharp blade.
"Die!" Zong Zhengxian raised his big knife and slashed at Zong Zheng's throat.
