Chapter 144
Just when the capital was in full swing to prepare for the Spring Festival celebration, far away in the northwest of Luoyang, outside the Mianchi Pass, the two armies of the north and south also successfully merged. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Northern Army was well-disciplined and well-equipped, and during the formation, the war drums were endless, murderous, and the monarch was very powerful.
On the other hand, the Yugoslav army was disorganized, and some of them even leaned on their mounts and pretended to sleep, as if they did not pay attention to this exercise at all.
Seeing all this, the generals of the Northern Army couldn't help but be furious. No matter how bad the Yang family's governance is, it will not be like this, and the only explanation is:
"What is this, looking down on us?"
"The Yang family is too deceitful!"
All the generals are angry, it is true that their Jinyang Army is a new army, but the members are all from the Eastern Army led by Sima Shimin when he fought against Gumeng, even if it is not as good as the Xiangyue dragoon who faced the main force of Gumeng, but they are a complete formation, you Xiangyue still have new soldiers, and you can look down on people if you are famous?
"Shut up. ”
The young man standing in the Chinese army shouted, and everyone was suddenly silent, looking at their own commander in awe.
Beihai Qin Qiong, the first fierce general under the second prince!
In terms of age, he is two years older than Yang Yu, so he failed to show himself in the Yingjie Competition, but his popularity is definitely not lower than that of several other young talents.
Undefeated in 2,000 simulated battles with veterans in various provinces, more than 100 challengers in a row, the hottest candidate for various advertising endorsements, and the record holder of the strongest power record for a single skill below the eighth order...... It can be said that Qin Qiong is the symbol of their Jinyang army.
"The man hasn't moved yet. ”
Everyone looked at Qin Qiong's gaze, and in the scattered center of the Jiangling Army, there was only one person who was always as majestic as a mountain, like a flag.
It was Yang Yu.
I saw that his face was frosty, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle falcon when he looked at the sky. Everyone suddenly felt a chill running straight to their backs, after all, Yang Yu is the strongest young generation today, the first person under the eight kings of the Great Song Dynasty.
Yang Yu's True Dragon Nine Swords, each sword had a plural form, but no opponent had ever been able to force him to use all his strength. Even Mo Chimei, who was on the same level as Qin Qiong, was defeated when Yang Yu used his third form, and during the Xiangyue defensive battle, Yang Yu had used more than five forms with the same sword. It was only because no one had time to observe it carefully during the war that Yang Yu's true dragon sword form became a mystery.
But for young people who aspire to become strong or famous in the world, Yang Yu is an insurmountable mountain pressing on their heads!
At this time, I saw Qin Qiong ahead of the generals and came to the front of the Jiangling army formation to show favor to Yang Yu.
Qin Qiong, who would shout that if he was born a hundred years earlier, he would compete with Guan Yunchang, of course, would not be afraid of Yang Yu's prestige. But the purpose of this military exercise is to establish a good relationship with the Yang family, although he is known for his bravery, but he is by no means a brainless person. Since the second prince has entrusted such a heavy responsibility, he will not ignore the overall situation because of a momentary battle of will.
"Thank you. ”
The one who answered Qin Qiong was the blonde woman beside Yang Yu, the woman had a gorgeous appearance, a graceful figure, and a mature and charming temperament.
This woman with a graceful figure is the human form of Yang Yu's golden dragon, named Alice, who is rumored to have a violent personality, is rumored to be gentle and dignified, and is rumored to be as naughty and cunning as a little devil...... Anyway, in Qin Qiong's eyes, this was a strange and moody female dragon.
Hearing Alice's thanks, Qin Qiong didn't react, his eyes were always staring at Yang Yu, sensing his gaze, Yang Yu turned his head and said coldly, "What's wrong?"
Qin Qiong had heard that Yang Yu was as indifferent as a sword saint, and he couldn't react when he talked to him for a long time, and he always looked absent-minded.
But Qin Qiong has carefully investigated Yang Yu, and in the early years, when he pacified the world with the Sword Saint, Yang Yu acted flamboyantly and recklessly, and his edge was exposed. It was after the Xiangyue Defensive Battle that the impression he gave everyone gradually changed to mature and steady, and even a little careless.
However, once Yang Yu entered the battle state, he was full of fighting spirit, domineering and exposed, and he was like two people in peacetime. So Qin Qiong came to a conclusion that after Yang Yu's strength and reputation reached the peak, he no longer took the world in his eyes.
It's still the same sentence, now we have to focus on the overall situation, Qin Qiong told himself...... Fart!
"His Royal Highness Yang Yu, before the exercise begins, please fight with me!"
"I see. ”
Yang Yu didn't refuse, he had long known that the arrogant Qin Qiong would not let go of this opportunity, and he also understood that his reaction was indeed a little annoying.
However, there is no way, as a human-dragon hybrid, Yang Yu's body is far superior to ordinary people, but the qi and blood required are also stronger than ordinary people, and now he has limited energy, and he really can't deal with everything with full strength.
"Brother Yu, why don't I deal with him. Alice whispered.
"It's okay, I haven't moved in a long time. Yang Yu smiled lightly, and the corners of his mouth revealed a trace of imperceptible tiredness.
In front of outsiders, Alice didn't show a worried look, so she had to persuade with words: "Please don't force it, this guy is just about the same as Mo Chimei, and it can be solved with the second form." ”
"I've got my own measure. ”
Although he was dissatisfied with the royal family's decision to arrange the union of the Yang family and the second prince, out of respect for his opponent, he decided to move a little more seriously.
Until just now, the Jiangling army, which was still noisy and chaotic, calmed down for a moment, and was infected by this strange atmosphere, and the Jinyang army in the north also suddenly quieted down, and the soldiers beating the drums even forgot the movements in their hands.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the sword that Yang Yu slowly pulled out.
It was a bronze sword. The body of the sword is covered with simple inscriptions, giving people a thick sense of history, like a ravine-like carving staggered and connected, and the words seem to contain the sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers. The seemingly chaotic text patterns, if you glance from the hilt to the tip of the sword, it seems that there is a real dragon flying in it, the first glance is blurry, the more you look at it, the more real it is, and even the ears even sound bursts of dragon roars, as if the next moment will pounce from it, so as to soar for nine days, turning the clouds and rain.
I don't know why, in addition to awe, everyone has an inexplicable feeling in their hearts, as if only this sword can prove that they have existed, and how much their own sadness, sweat, laughter, and sorrow have also been precipitated in it, and it will be passed on forever.
"Is this the True Dragon Sword?"
In the end, he was still the strongest in the Jinyang army, Qin Qiong was the first to come back from his trance, and at the same time, he ignited a raging battle spirit in his heart, as well as an infinitely expanding ambition-
Defeat him and claim this sword to prove yourself!
"That's right. As he spoke, Yang Yu unfolded a simulated enchantment used for military exercises.
……
The next day, Sima Di sent someone to invite Xinlan into the palace, but she decisively refused.
"Your Highness Xinlan, isn't this very good?" The old internal official who came to inform him was not surprised at all, but still reminded him gently. Although His Majesty doesn't care about the willfulness of the Yang family, the royal family and hundreds of officials don't have this strength. After all, this little thing has to disobey the king's order, so that others think of your Yang family.
"Please return to Your Majesty, and let me go after the Heroic Contest. Xinlan insisted.
The old internal official had no choice but to go back, but fortunately, Sima Di was only temporary, and seeing that Xinlan refused to come, he forgot it.
In the afternoon, Juggernaut also returned to the Imperial City, but he immediately locked himself in his room and did not see anyone. Xiuning was helpless, and she didn't dare to invite Xinlan into the palace, so she had to visit her in person. Since it was a story about the Sword Master, Yan Ya was a little excited to join in and listen, unlike the sluggish Xiuning, she quickly realized that Xinlan's focus was on talking about Pharmacist Li. However, Yan Ya also wanted to know more about Pharmacist Li's story, so she didn't say much.
As for Liu Tian, at the invitation of Sima Shimin, he swaggered to the banquet, and went there for several days in a row, acting in such a high-profile manner that he wished that others would know.
It's a pity that Sima Shimin didn't know Liu Tian's true identity, and only thought that he was in a very happy mood with the support of the country's warriors.
Chinese New Year's Eve is just around the corner, and the Spring Festival celebration is grandly opened.
The celebration was held in a temporary floating square, so all the people in the city could watch it live, and the Beijing Radio would broadcast it to various channels across the country, so that the people of the Great Song Dynasty could enjoy the event together.
At this moment, the entire capital is shrouded in a noisy and lively atmosphere, but in the East Palace, Xiaozhi is dead.
After a series of performances, he will go on stage to announce his name to the whole Song Zimin, but he has not yet thought about it.
To be precise, the names that came up with them were not in line with the emperor's grandfather's wishes.
It was difficult for Xiaozhi to come up with a random name, but the imperial grandfather asked him to explain why he came up with this, and asked him why he thought this name was suitable for the emperor's grandson, and Xiaozhi immediately knelt down.
He really wanted to shout: "It's just a name, why make it so difficult for him!"
In fact, although it is the tradition of the Great Song royal family to name the prince at the age of twelve, the requirements in the past were not so strict, and a good name can be mixed up, even if Sima Di himself is the same.
It all started with the name of a certain prince.
People-oriented, for the benefit of the world.
Dominate all the people, and create immortal achievements.
It has been admired by all the people.
……
That's right, Sima Shimin, who was only 12 years old, actually spoke of forty-two kinds of names, each of which was extremely suitable for his status as a prince. And the number forty-two also happened to be Sima Di's age at that time. In order to flatter his father, Sima Shimin tried his best!
But if it's just at this level, people will quickly forget about it. But at the end of last year, under the deliberate promotion of Sima Shimin, this matter was once again known to the world, combined with his contributions over the years, this time it was ****.
People praised Sima Shimin's talent, and faintly agreed in their hearts that he was the most suitable candidate to inherit the unification. In this case, if Xiaozhi, the name given by the imperial grandson, is far inferior to him, the tendency of the people's will can be imagined.
Xiaozhi knows very well that his second emperor uncle, or from the name, it can be seen that he uses public opinion as a means to encompass everything in the world, and the position of emperor is just a small hurdle for him to reach his goal.
But Xiaozhi had no choice, and the imperial grandfather also saw Sima Shimin's plan, so he insisted that he not lose to the second emperor uncle in naming, but how could this be done!
Inexplicably, Xiao Zhi thought of that crazy woman, if it was her, she should be able to help herself, right? But Xiao Zhi immediately shook his head, not to mention that the crazy woman was a hostile princess of the Yang family, and more importantly, she was really annoying, reading minds, beating people, and preaching...... Who does she think she is......
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhi's nose was sour, and the appearance of his deceased mother appeared in his mind, damn it, how could he associate that evil woman with her mother...... But other people's mothers seem to be like this, right?
Xiaozhi has watched a lot of film and television dramas and books, and probably understands what kind of character his mother is, that evil woman is the more fierce type of mother, he really can't understand how this kind of person can be a mother, but there are still people who like this kind of mother very much...... Sure enough, dramas and fairy tales are all deceptive, and he must be sick in his brain when looking for reality in virtual stories.
"Your Highness, the time has come!"
The inner official's scream pulled Xiao Zhi back to reality, and his body began to stiffen, and under the leadership of the inner official, he went to the floating square like going to the execution ground.
In the center of the rostrum, the imperial grandfather looked at him sternly with a tense face, and at the same time, there were countless eyes around him, some looking forward to it and wanting to see the joke...... But none of this has anything to do with him.
Xiaozhi found that at this moment, all he really cared about was the thoughts of the imperial grandfather, although the imperial grandfather was always very strict with him, but it was more of a kind of care, and he had always longed and needed this kind of care.
After that day, he kept thinking about why he didn't want to give up the position of imperial grandson?
At this moment, he finally understood.
Because of the emperor's grandfather's expectations, he can always insist. Because he wanted to respond to that expectation, he didn't give up. Because he didn't want to disappoint the people who cared for him, he kept struggling.
Tears welled up at once, but it was too late to say anything, and after choking for a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and uttered the disappointing words.
"I ...... Not ready. ”
