Chapter 780
Qu He believed that Zhang Xiuxiu must understand his intentions and would definitely reject his request for battle! The matter was clear: If he went out to fight a decisive battle with Xu Sheng, he would definitely be defeated, and if he was defeated, the morale of the Imperial Forest Army would surely plummet! In that case, if Xu Ling took the opportunity to order an attack on the imperial palace, it would be a question whether the imperial palace could be defended! As long as Zhang Xiuxiu rejected his request to fight, with him there, Xu Ling would not want to attack the imperial palace! After a long time, the army guarding the southern city would go north, and Xu Ling would definitely be defeated!
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiuxiu said this: "General Qu is loyal and brave to the country, and he is a model for the world! Go, I wish you a victory and success!"
Hearing Zhang Xiuxiu say this, Qu He was stunned - that's not how the script was written, right? If he Qu He went down to face Xu Sheng, it was likely that he would never return!
Hearing that Zhang Xiuxiu had approved Qu He's request, the officers and men of the Imperial Forest Army present were all thunderous with joy, and some even shouted: "General Qu is mighty!" Qu He's heart was even more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis! However, at this moment, Qu He was already on the bow and had no choice but to send it! Otherwise, he would not be able to be a man for the rest of his life, and he would also have a reputation of "resisting and disobeying orders"!
Although he was bitter to the extreme, Qu He still pretended to be angry and bullfighting, and said loudly: "Your Majesty the Empress rest assured, Weichen swears to fight to the death with the traitor, although he will die without regrets!" When he said these words to Zhang Xiuxiu, Qu He deliberately said two words of "death", and bit the word "death" very hard, he did this to remind Zhang Xiuxiu again: When he goes, it is a meat bun and a dog, and there is no return! I hope that Zhang Xiuxiu can stop him!
As a monk, and the highest-ranking monk on the Twin Cities Continent - the spiritual root has reached the ninth level, Qu He is not a person who is afraid of death, and he knows the truth of "my generation of monks, why not be afraid of a war". However, Qu He was opposed to making senseless sacrifices! Moreover, Qu He knew that if he went and died under the palace gate, it would bring a devastating blow to the morale of the Imperial Forest Army! If Xu Ling took the opportunity to attack the palace, the palace might fall. On the contrary, if he didn't go out to fight Xu Sheng and only defend and not attack, the palace would not fall!
It's a pity that Zhang Xiuxiu was originally young and had no experience, so she was pushed to the position of the city lord of the original Nancheng Kingdom by Yan Yan, and then, Zhang Xiuxiu almost passively became Her Majesty the Empress of the newly established Twin Cities Empire. All this is almost involuntary for Zhang Xiuxiu. Zhang Xiuxiu had already secretly made up her mind in her heart: If the worst result happened, that is, the palace would be breached, and she would kill Xu Ling immediately and never be the queen of Xu Ling! If Yan Yan didn't take it, she would die alone and never marry any man! Because in Zhang Xiuxiu's heart, no man can compare with Yan Yan at all!
Although she heard Qu He say the word "death" twice, Zhang Xiuxiu did not hear Qu He's voice, but she said movingly: "General Qu, your loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth! Even if you die heroically, you will shine with the sun and the moon!" When she said these words, Zhang Xiuxiu's pretty face was solemn.
Qu He sighed secretly in his heart, what else could he say when things got to this point? He could only shout: "Your Majesty the Empress, I'm going!" After speaking, he jumped down from the palace gate.
Seeing Qu He bravely jumping down from the palace gate, the Imperial Forest Army present once again burst into thunderous applause! In their hearts, Qu He is an invincible god! As long as Qu He goes down, he will definitely win and succeed immediately! As for Xu Sheng, he is just a clown who jumped out of a corner, and he will definitely not be able to withstand the blow of General Qu.
In the process of the fall of the Qu River, there is no room for manoeuvre, it is said that at this time, if Xu Sheng takes the opportunity to make a move, he will be able to take advantage of the first move! Anyone who plays Go knows that it is very important to keep the first move, because if you keep the first move, you will grasp the initiative and always maintain the offensive.
However, what is surprising is that in the process of Quhe's fall, Xu Sheng did not look at Quhe at all, nor did he take the initiative to attack! Until Quhe fell to the ground, at this time, it was the so-called "unstable foothold"; if Xu Sheng took the opportunity to attack, it would be equivalent to "taking advantage of the enemy's half-crossing and attacking him," and he would still be able to gain the advantage of being the first move! However, what also surprised everyone was that Xu Sheng did not take the opportunity to attack Quhe, but put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, looking up at the sky at 45 degrees, looking like he could not be beaten.
Seeing Xu Sheng like this, most people think that Xu Sheng is arrogant and arrogant, but he is just a frog at the bottom of a well with no real skills. However, Luo Ning, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, was secretly frightened, he remembered the saying that "the master of art is bold", which shows that Xu Sheng has sufficient self-confidence! Not long ago, Luo Ning shot at Xu Ling with an arrow, but was taken by Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng immediately threw the arrow at Luo Ning, Luo Ning used the mace in his hand to meet the arrow thrown by Xu Sheng, as a result, Luo Ning's tiger mouth shook violently, until now, there is still a faint pain. It can be said that no one is more incapable of Xu Sheng's combat power than Luo Ning! Seeing Qu He jump off the palace gate and accept Xu Sheng's challenge, Luo Ning couldn't help but sweat for Qu He in his heart! Because Luo Ning knew Qu He's martial arts very well.
When Qu He stood still, Xu Sheng still put his hands behind his back and said, "Good boy, have guts!" In terms of age, Xu Sheng is not much older than Qu He, but when he speaks, he looks old-fashioned, and he regards himself as an elder.
This time, Quhe jumped down, because he had the heart of death, and naturally brought weapons. Quhe's weapon is a machete!
Seeing Qu He raise the machete, Xu Sheng said lightly: "Let you make three moves! Within three moves, I won't fight back!" Hearing Xu Shengzhi say, Xu Ling immediately shouted: "Uncle, why do you let him? At the moment of life and death, you must not be merciful to the enemy!" Although Xu Ling is Xu Sheng's biological son, he has been passed under his uncle's name since he was a child, so Xu Ling is used to calling Xu Sheng "uncle". Seeing Xu Sheng so entrusted, Xu Ling was really anxious! Because Xu Ling pinned all his hopes on Xu Sheng! If Xu Sheng defeated Quhe, then the morale of the Imperial Forest Army would be low, and if he only attacked, he would probably break through the palace, sit on the throne, and occupy Zhang Xiuxiu. Xu Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought that Her Majesty, who was beautiful and majestic in the past, would become his little woman! However, Xu Ling also knew that once Xu Sheng was defeated by Quhe, the morale of the Imperial Forest Army would soar, and it would be impossible for him to storm the palace at all! After a long time, his army might be scattered! In that case, not only would he not be able to become the emperor, but it would also be difficult to save his life! Therefore, for Xu Ling, going further is that wealth is unlimited, and taking a step back, it is an abyss, and there is no place to bury him. Moreover, advancing and retreating all depend on whether Xu Sheng can defeat Quhe! In this case, Xu Sheng still has to put on a score and pretend to compare, how can he not make Xu Ling tremble?
Qu He did not give in, he knew that the moment of life and death was not the time to be humble! Moreover, his victory or defeat was not only related to his personal life and death, honor and disgrace, but also related to the survival of the newly established Twin Cities Empire!
Qu He took a deep breath and said, "Xu Sheng, you go to die!" The machete slashed at Xu Sheng's head!
Quhe's move has a name called "splitting a mountain with force," which describes that this knife can cut a mountain in half! Of course, with the skill of Quhe's ninth-level spiritual root, it is impossible to cut a mountain in half with a single sword, not even a small mountain. However, this does not negate the power of Quhe's sword! When Quhe's knife was cut down, the surrounding air changed greatly, and the clothes of the nearby rebel soldiers were blown by the wind of Quhe's sword.
Suddenly, the Imperial Forest Army, including Zhang Xiuxiu, who was standing on the palace gate and watching, couldn't help but applaud! They all secretly said in their hearts: "Fortunately, General Qu cut it down and it was Xu Sheng and not me!"
Since Xu Sheng said that he wanted to make Qu He three moves, "let three moves" was within three moves, Xu Sheng couldn't fight back, he could only dodge. And Quhe's knife has no room and is magnificent.
For Qu He's menacing sword, Xu Sheng did not move. It seems that he didn't take Quhe's knife to heart!
As the saying goes, "the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry", Xu Sheng did not take Qu He's knife to heart, but Xu Ling was anxious! Because once Qu He slashed his father Xu Sheng, he would smash his emperor dream!
Qu He's knife was castrated like thunder, and in an instant, it was only three feet away from Xu Sheng!
At this time, Xu Sheng suddenly moved! Xu Sheng's movement was like wind and electricity, almost to the extreme, everyone just felt that their eyes were flowering, and when they looked at it again, Xu Sheng was already by Quhe's side, and Quhe's move "splitting the mountain" was hollow!
Qu He cut the air with one move, but he was not discouraged, and his second move, "Wind and Clouds", came out with the trend. This trick "wind and clouds" and the first move "force splitting the mountain" are connected very naturally, like flowing clouds and water. Moreover, after Xu Sheng dodged the first move, this move, according to common sense, should be difficult to dodge!
Zhang Xiuxiu and the others who were on the palace gate, and Xu Ling and the others who were fighting outside the palace gate, although they belonged to two hostile camps, at this moment, their hearts were tense!
Looking at Xu Sheng again, it seemed that he was standing still, but when Quhe's big knife slashed over, Xu Sheng's body suddenly disappeared into the air, and everyone's eyes were a flower again!
Quhe shouted, the third move was split with all his might, this move has a name, called "the river is rushing", only to see countless knife lights, just like countless water drops, jumping, flashing! Moreover, this move of Quhe "the river is rushing", and the previous move "wind and clouds", is also very natural, giving people a seamless feeling!
When Qu He went all out to cut this trick "big river rushing", almost everyone who watched the battle thought that Xu Sheng could not win this time, and he would definitely be cut by Qu He's move "big river rushing"! Because Qu He's move "big river rushing" covered a very wide range, giving people the feeling that Xu Sheng had no way to retreat and nowhere to escape!
However, just when everyone thought that Xu Sheng would definitely be cut down, Xu Sheng's figure suddenly floated again! Everyone's eyes flickered, Xu Sheng's figure disappeared in place, and Quhe's seemingly inevitable "big river flow" naturally failed!
Xu Sheng appeared on the side of Qu He and shouted: "The three moves have passed, take the move!" With the sound, Xu Sheng's fist struck at Qu He's head! When Xu Sheng struck down this punch, the sound of wind and thunder around him was loud, making people feel a kind of pressure! And after Qu He cut out the third move, "The River Flows", the trick was too old, and it was impossible to dodge Xu Sheng's punch at all! Qu He had no choice but to raise his big knife and resist Xu Sheng's fist! Qu He's move is completely out of order, because Xu Sheng's punch is not only powerful, but also extremely fast, so that Qu He has no chance to dodge at all!
Xu Sheng's fist slammed into Quhe's machete.
Boom! The sound was earth-shattering, alarming the crowd watching the battle. At this moment, the people watching the battle were naturally divided into two factions, two factions of people, and two completely different moods.
First of all, Zhang Xiuxiu and the others, who were watching the battle above the palace gate, saw that Qu He did not cut down Xu Sheng between the three moves, and Zhang Xiuxiu and the others all gasped! You must know that once Quhe loses to Xu Sheng, then the morale of the Imperial Forest Army will definitely suffer a heavy blow! In this case, if Xu Ling orders to attack the palace again, whether the Imperial Forest Army can stop it will really have to be a question mark!
As far as Zhang Xiuxiu was concerned, once Quhe lost to Xu Sheng, it would really be a huge nightmare! In that case, the palace would probably fall! However, Zhang Xiuxiu had already made up her mind: she would rather die than endure humiliation and live to be the queen of Xu Ling! No matter what kind of woman she is, as long as she is a woman with a little dignity, she will not do this! Not to mention that Zhang Xiuxiu has always been a very proud woman since she was born! Zhang Xiuxiu's pride comes from two aspects, one is her background, she was born to be a noble princess. The second aspect of Zhang Xiuxiu's pride is her beauty, since she was sensible, she has been listening to people boasting about her beauty. When she grew up, she became the first beauty of the original Nancheng Kingdom.
