Just when Liu Yu and Fu Zhu were both amused by Guo Jia, the captain of the Luan Feng Guard on duty, Wu Yuan, who was admitted to Liu Yu's room after Zou Zhiruo, reported outside the door: "Husband, Guangluxun Kong Rong asks to see." ”

What could Kong Rong, who is in charge of the gate of the palace guard, come to me so late? Liu Yu thought about it while asking Wu Yuan to bring Kong Rong in.

After a while, Kong Rong walked in with a panicked expression, and when he saw Liu Yu, he knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The minister is derelict in his duties, please give the prime minister!" ”

Originally, Kong Rong called Liu Yu "lord", but because he is now one of the nine qing, in order not to let people gossip, he changed the title of Liu Yu to "Xiangye", not only him, but all the subordinates Liu Yu who are qualified to stand in the court have asked them to change their titles.

"Get up quickly, tell me what you have derelict in your duties, so that I can be sentenced and convicted!" Liu Yu said jokingly.

Kong Rong didn't get up, just raised his head to look at Liu Yu and said: "The minister was loved by the prime minister and awarded the post of Guangluxun, and he should have been conscientious and strict to protect the palace ban, but he didn't expect that the minister was ineffective, and he let the thieves sneak into the palace, the minister was derelict in his duties, and he lived up to the high expectations of the minister, and the minister was guilty......"

Liu Yuli sat down and helped him up, and said gently: "What did the thieves steal?" ”

Kong Rong shook his head and replied, "The thief didn't steal anything from the palace, but he left a book outside the Wende Palace. ”

Entering the palace to keep a book? Is it a spoof of "so-and-so came here for a visit", or is there also an outstanding character in this era like Chu Liuxiang's "I came by moonlight and borrowed a thing"?

Liu Yuxing rushed into the palace with Guo Jia and Fu Zhu under the leadership of Kong Rong, and also saw the row of words engraved on the wall of Wende Palace. The words are big, but not many, only sixteen - the night of the full moon. The top of the imperial city, in the name of the sword, fight with you!

###########################################################

"Yu'er, who left that sentence without a beginning or an end, and who did you write it for?" Liu Yu hugged his beloved wife's soft delicate body and asked puzzledly.

Liu Yu bit Liu Yu's chest, and then glanced at Liu Yu again. said coquettishly: "Husband, you already have a number in your heart, why do you still come to ask people?!" ”

Liu Yu smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Isn't it a little uncertain for me!" Do you also think that it is Wang Yue who enters the palace to keep books? ”

Liu Yu sighed. said: "Today, I am afraid that the only ones who can come and go freely in the palace today are a few old immortals who are in the heavenly rank and the three great masters of the earth rank, and the one who can say the words 'in the name of the sword' can only be the 'sword saint' Wang Yue among the three great grandmasters!" ”

"Then why did he come to me, was it to cooperate with Cao Cao's military campaign?"

"I'm afraid that's the way it is! As long as the husband is injured in the competition, he is even ...... The morale of our army will be in chaos, and Cao Cao and other princes' armies will take advantage of the weakness...... So. Husband, don't go to the battle, okay? ”

Liu Yu kissed Liu Yu lightly on the forehead. relieved: "Don't worry, even if your husband can't win, he won't lose!" I really want to see the strength of the grandmaster-level figures at the top of the ground level! ”

Liu Yu saw that Liu Yu's demeanor was firm, so he didn't persuade much, and asked another question: "Then can we go to the scene to watch the battle at that time?" ”

"Why not? I just ordered that no idle people should be allowed to approach, how could I include you! But when the time comes, you have to be 100,000 careful, don't let the sword qi scatter and get injured by mistake, otherwise I will die of heartache! ”

"Got it!"

……………………

Today is the full moon night of the fifteenth. Liu Yu and the others went to the palace early in the morning, saying that they wanted to arrange the scene. And Liu Yu temporarily hugged the Buddha's feet in the practice room. When the moon was approaching mid-sky, Liu Yu changed into a samurai uniform carefully designed by Cai Yan for Liu Yu, and took the Yitian Sword and swept towards the palace.

flew to the top of Wende Palace, Wang Yue hadn't come yet, Liu Yu had to lie on the tile boringly and watch the moon. To put it bluntly, Liu Yu didn't take this competition too seriously, but remembered the peerless battle of "Forbidden City, Flying Immortals Outside the Sky" with a playful mentality.

Liu Yu couldn't understand why peerless masters like to run to high places to compete. Not to mention that the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Snow was chosen on the roof of the palace hall, and even the sword discussion meeting held by the five unique powers of the East Evil and West Poison Southern Emperor and Northern Beggars was also set at the top of Huashan, could it be said that the master should match the high ground?

The moonlight was bleak and cold on Liu Yu's body, and Liu Yu's mood gradually became no longer quiet. Could it be that "on the night of the full moon, the top of the imperial city, in the name of the sword, fight with you" is just a prank; or that Wang Yue, who invited the battle, broke the appointment for some reason; Or "fifteen moons and sixteen rounds", he came a day early; Or rather......

Just as Liu Yu was thinking wildly, Liu Yu's voice echoed throughout the palace: "Husband, where are you?" Come to the Stargazing Observatory! ”

Liu Yu got up as soon as he slipped up, first yelled "I'll come" in the direction of the stargazing platform, and then galloped away. On the way, Liu Yu met Liu Yu, who came to pick him up, and as soon as she saw Liu Yu, she complained: "Husband, where have you been, why are you here now?" ”

Liu Yu vomited bitterness and said: "I don't know what that Wang Yue did, I didn't see him coming when the cold wind blew on the top of Wende Hall for more than an hour." By the way, what are you doing at the observatory, and do you have any interesting celestial features? I can't stay longer, if Wang Yue comes and can't find me, it won't be good! ”

Liu Yu looked at Liu Yu with a strange expression and said, "Wang Yue arrived early, he has been waiting for you for two hours like us!" ”

Liu Yu was taken aback and said, "How is it possible, I didn't see him at all!" ”

Liu Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "Husband, of course you can't see Wang Yue on the top of Wende Palace, but people are waiting for you at the stargazing platform!" ”

"Why is he waiting for me at the observatory?" Liu Yu said with a little doubt, and then said in disbelief: "Could it be that the real place of the competition is not the top of the Wende Palace, but the stargazing platform?" ”

Liu Xuan finally laughed out loud, and she laughed. On the other hand, he said: "I also want to ask why you ran to the top of the Wende Hall and waited for someone, don't you know that the tallest building in the palace is the stargazing platform?" ”

Liu Yu almost wanted to die of shame, martial arts misleading! At this moment, Liu Yu really had a little hatred for Wang Yue. You said that you invited people to compete in martial arts, why didn't you make your words clear, and you wouldn't die if you wrote a few more words! It's good now, I actually lost such a big person, and I will see if I don't beat you up when I compete later!

Ascending the stargazing platform of more than 1,000 square meters, Liu Yu saw Wang Yue looking up at the moon with his back to Liu Yu, and the majestic back revealed a little elegance and a little loneliness. Liu Yu left Liu Yu and walked to the side, and Liu Yu glanced in the direction. All the eyes saw were stunning, and it was Cai Yan and Ren Hongchang who beckoned to Liu Yu, and they actually put a few tables on this stargazing platform. It was also filled with wine and fruits.

Looking at their smiling and dismissive appearances, Liu Yu was greatly dissatisfied. Just as Liu Yu was about to go over and tell them to be careful, Wang Yue spoke, "You're here." ”

"Yes. I'm coming. ”

"You shouldn't have come!"

"Why?"

"You should know. There must be someone between us today who is going to fall. ”

"I know, but that's definitely not me!"

"You're confident."

Just as Liu Yu was about to continue to talk to the back of Wang Yue's head in this ancient dragon tone, a burst of laughter came from the direction of his women. Liu Yu's face suddenly turned pale, and he deeply felt the helplessness of "good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles". At this time, Wang Yue slowly turned around again, looked at Liu Yu with cold eyes, and said coolly: "What are they laughing at?" ”

Liu Yu immediately erupted and roared, "Brother Wang." Can we not talk nonsense? I wonder why you, with your transcendent identity, would you listen to Cao Cao's words and come to me to duel? ”

Wang Yue sighed. began to look up at the night sky again, and Liu Yu had no choice but to look at his chin speechlessly. After a while, he still maintained this posture, but Liu Yu couldn't help it, and said loudly: "If Brother Wang, you have anything unspeakable, forget it, brother, ask something else!" ”

Wang Yue sighed again, shook his head, and said with a sad expression: "This matter has been hidden in my heart for a long, long time, but now it doesn't hurt to tell Master Hou." ”

Seeing his expression, Liu Yu couldn't help but become interested, and urged: "Little brother listens." ”

Wang Yue showed a look of reminiscence, and said in a somewhat bleak tone: "The biological mother of the emperor today is actually my sister who is seventeen years younger than me. ”

Liu Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and asked, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"Yan Xianci died early, and I was obsessed with martial arts, so I entrusted my eight-year-old little sister to my brother Wang Yun, who was an official in Beijing, to raise on my behalf, and I visited all over the world to test my martial arts. After about 14 years, I went to see my little sister with the title of 'Sword Saint', but my brother told me that my little sister had been hired into the palace by the emperor. So I entered the palace overnight, but I saw my little sister lying in the arms of the emperor with poison in her body. In a fit of rage, I was about to kill the Emperor, but my little sister, who recognized me, stopped me and begged me to protect her husband and her son, who was only two years old at the time. ”

"Brother, can't you force out the poison in Sister Ling's body with your Xuanxuan skills?" Liu Yu asked suspiciously.

Wang Yue shook his head and sighed: "If I had done it two hours earlier, but at that time, the poison had already soaked into my little sister's five intestines, and I could only extend her life by three days if I tried my best." ”

Liu Yu suddenly remembered what He Lingsi said to Liu Yu, so he asked Wang Yue for confirmation: "Then brother, do you know who caused the poison on Ling Mei's body?" ”

Wang Yue said with an angry face: "Of course I know!" The poison was in the pastry, although the pastry was given to the little sister by the queen, but it was the Empress Dowager Dong's mother-in-law who poisoned it! ”

It turns out that what He Lingsi said is true, and I have always misunderstood her...... Thinking of the face he had given to He Lingsi in the past few years, Liu Yu felt guilty and determined to treat her better in the future.

"Since you know that it was the Empress Dowager Dong's poison, why didn't you seek revenge on her, brother? Don't tell me you care about her Queen Mother! ”

Wang Yue sighed and said helplessly: "Although I don't care about the identity of the Queen Mother, my little sister cares!" She said that she didn't want me to be charged with killing the mother of the country because of her, and forced me to swear that I would never take revenge on the Empress Dowager Dong. Alas......"

Liu Yu lamented with him for a while, and then asked, "Then brother, did you come to invite me to fight in order to keep your nephew's throne?" ”

Wang Yue nodded and said, "Actually, I don't want to be an enemy of you, Master Hou. But what you've done has seriously threatened Xie'er, so I have to make this decision. Tonight we are not a point-and-end competition, but a never-ending life-and-death duel. So Hou Ye must go all out. ”

Liu Yu said to him solemnly: "I know, let's start!" ”

In an instant, the elegant, lonely aura on Wang Yue's body was gone, replaced by Wei Ling and sharp. He slowly pulled out the sword on his back, and said coldly: "The sword name is Qingyu, follow me for thirty years, and defeat all the masters in the world." ”

Liu Xuan and the others, who sensed the change, stopped laughing. They all put their concerned and worried eyes on Liu Yu. Liu Yu first gave them a reassuring smile, then lazily pulled out the Yitian Sword, looked at Wang Yue and said, "The name of the sword is Yitian." I've been with me for eight years, and I've crossed over 10,000 souls under the sword, I hope you won't be one of them, brother. ”

Wang Yue nodded at Liu Yu, Liu Yu knew what he meant. He wanted Liu Yu to make the first move. Liu Yu didn't make much excuses. As soon as he shook the Heavenly Sword, he attacked Wang Yue. Wang Yue's footsteps moved slightly, and the Qingyu Sword in his hand also slashed towards Liu Yu.

The clash between the two swords did not come out of the sound of gold and iron, because the force coming from the Qingyu Sword was not resistant but traction, and words such as "Tai Chi", "Dou Zhuan Xing Shift", "Qiankun Great Shift" and so on immediately appeared in Liu Yu's mind. Under the slight slackness of his mind, Liu Yu's figure was deflected by the strange force, and there was also a flaw in the sword momentum.

With Wang Yue's eyesight and martial arts cultivation, of course, this opportunity would not be passed in vain, only to see the Qingyu sword turn into a green rainbow and point at Liu Yu's flaw, and immediately completely disperse Liu Yu's sword momentum. Wang Yue, who was unforgiving, swung his sword again in the silent exclamation of Liu Yu's daughters. A sword stabbed Liu Yu in the throat.

If Liu Yu, who had just met Wang Yue, he would definitely not be able to avoid this sword. But now Liu Yu has stepped into the heavenly step with one foot, and he is better than Wang Yue in terms of skill and experience. Only twisted his waist slightly, and Liu Yu dodged this seemingly fatal sword.

Wang Yue, who missed the sword, did not hesitate to slash the Qingyu sword, and it seemed that he wanted to cut Liu Yu in half. Liu Yu didn't think about it and used the Yitian Sword to carry the Qingyu Sword, and this time the sword was no longer a traction force, but a huge shock like the top of Mount Tai.

Liu Yu was a little surprised by Wang Yue's control of strength, and the idea of seeing his strength arose in his heart, so he didn't let go of the counterattack, and just let him do it. As a result, in the eyes of Liu Yu and other spectators, the situation on the field fell into a state of "glue", Wang Yue could not break Liu Yu's defense, and Liu Yu could not organize an effective attack.

Just as Liu Yu was growing his knowledge, Wang Yue suddenly accepted it. Liu Yu looked at him in amazement, only to find that the sky in the east had already lit up. Wang Yue nodded to Liu Yu with a complicated expression, and said, "Master Hou, we don't have to fight, the duel is canceled!" ”

Raising his eyebrows, Liu Yu asked, "Why?" ”

Wang Yue put the sword back into its sheath and turned to look at the sky again, but this time not at the moon but at sunrise. Liu Yu waited patiently for a while, and then heard his somewhat distant voice: "I didn't expect that Hou Ye already had the strength of the ground rank at a young age, although you are slightly inferior to me, but if you continue to fight, it will only maintain the undefeated situation just now." And I always feel that Master Hou, you still have hole cards, if you really entangle, I'm afraid that I will suffer in the end......"

It seems that this Wang Yue's spiritual sense is also extraordinary......

Just when Liu Yu was about to sigh, Wang Yue let out a long sigh, and he still said to Liu Yu with the back of his head: "Wang Yue is leaving, Hou Ye take care." After speaking, Liu Yu floated away without waiting for Liu Yu to speak.

As soon as Wang Yue left, Liu Yu and the others surrounded him, and they comforted Liu Yu with gossip. Liu Yu let them check their bodies for themselves, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, baby, your husband is not injured at all, but he feels a little tired." ”

As soon as they heard this, Liu Yu and the others hugged Liu Yu and came to the side of the table. Liu Yu let Liu Yu half lie in her warm and plump arms, and stretched out her slender jade fingers to massage Liu Yu's temples. Cai Yan and Ren Hongchang sat on both sides and gently pinched Liu Yu's arms, Zou Zhiruo and Fan Lihua sat at Liu Yu's feet and gently beat Liu Yu's legs, and Wu Yuan gently fed Liu Yu wine, water and fruits. At this time, the rising sun on the horizon also jumped out of the clouds, sprinkling a warm red light on Liu Yu and his lovers. It's quite a scene......

Before Liu Yu could find a suitable adjective, a rush of footsteps interrupted his thoughts. Look up. What caught his eye was He Lingsi's tearful eyes and his pretty face full of panic.

He Lingsi's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Yu, and the surprise and relieved look contained in it made Liu Yu couldn't help but be moved. She trotted towards Liu Yu, ignoring Liu Yu's salute. He only looked straight at Liu Yu and asked softly, "You, are you okay?!" ”

Liu Yu looked at her bloodshot eyes, and remembered the ugly face she had given her before due to a misunderstanding, and couldn't help but say softly: "I'm fine!" How did you get here, sister-in-law? ”

After listening to Liu Yu's words, He Lingsi's somewhat haggard jade face turned red at first. Then it turned pale. She said with a lonely expression: "I learned that you are going to compete with Wang Yue, the original commander of the palace guards, and I am a little worried, so I will take a look." ”

Liu Yu twisted Liu Yu fiercely where He Lingsi couldn't reach. Then he asked, "Sister Lingsi, didn't you go back to the palace to rest all night?" ”

He Lingsi's face turned slightly red, and he whispered: "I'm worried about you, I know that Wang Yue's swordsmanship has reached its peak, and he has singled out a hundred master guards without defeat. I would have liked to come up and have a look. But I remembered that you said that people who don't understand martial arts are easily affected by the strength exuded by the masters. I was afraid that I would become a burden to you when I came up, so I sat in the Star Pavilion next to me for the night. When it was almost dawn, I found that Commander Wang Yue jumped off the stargazing platform alone and left the palace, but after waiting for a while, I didn't see you coming down. I'm afraid, I'm afraid you'll get hurt, so I ran up! ”

Cai Yan suddenly laughed and said, "I'm afraid that Sister Lingsi, it's not us who are afraid of being hurt, but someone else!" After speaking, he glanced at Liu Yu.

He Lingsi was flushed by Cai Yan's words, and immediately started to fight with her, but Liu Yu did not persuade him. Because Liu Yu was enduring the vinegar that Liu Yu put on his waist.

##########################################################

On the sixth day after the competition, Zhao Yun, Huang Xu and Tai Shici, who received Liu Yu's warrant, returned to Luoyang with 5,000 elite horsemen on a detour and state.

"Master. Did you send us back to fight? As soon as I saw Liu Yu, I shouted like this, who else could there be besides Huang Xu.

"You really guessed right this time, I want you to follow Fu Zhi to Hanoi County to guard against Yuan Shao."

After listening to Liu Yu's words, not only the reckless Huang Xu and the bold Tai Shici showed elated expressions, but even Zhao Yun, who had always been calm and steady, became excited. This made Liu Yu a little strange, and couldn't help asking: "Why are you so happy when you hear about the war, haven't you fought enough in Youzhou?" ”

Huang Xu glanced at Liu Yu resentfully, and said, "It's not because of you, Master!" Almost all the alien forces bordering us know that Master, you are the reincarnation of the Great Demon King of Hani, and now the alien races are very well-behaved, and there has never been a matter of robbing the people of the Great Han again. In the past few years in Youzhou, we can only suppress horse thieves, and we have not encountered a tough battle. Of course I will be happy to be able to fight with Yuan Shaojun now, apprentice, I really can't wait to fight with the famous 'Hebei Two Tigers' in the north! ”

Liu Yu couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Zhao Yun and Tai Shici's conscientious looks, and after chatting with them for a while, Liu Yu suddenly asked Zhao Yundao: "You are not young, and it is time to start a family." Do you have a favorite woman, tell Master, Master is the master for you! ”

Zhao Yun's handsome face turned red all at once, and he was speechless in the strange laughter of Huang Xu and Tai Shici.

Liu Yu deliberately said with a straight face: "What's the matter, what's so embarrassing!" You don't have any family now, Master, as your elder, of course you have to worry about your life's affairs, tell Master who your crush is, otherwise Master will mess up the mandarin duck spectrum! ”

Zhao Yun's lips moved, but he didn't make a sound, he didn't expect this fearless general on the battlefield to be so shy when he talked about it. Liu Yu sighed at him, and then set his eyes on the big-mouthed Huang Xu.

Huang Xu lived up to Liu Yu's strange smile and said: "Tell the master, in fact, the senior brother has already made a private agreement with Tang Xing, the daughter of the current Yingchuan Taishou Tang Long, for life. Just when the senior brother was preparing to show the master, the war in Youzhou happened, so the senior brother said goodbye to his lover, rode a horse and followed the master to Youzhou to quell the chaos, and this was a whole three years! ”

No wonder Tang Xing's little girl is eighteen years old and still refuses to marry, and her feelings are waiting for my apprentice. Dizzy, I used to think that she was in love with me when I saw her running to my house, but who knows...... Wait, Tang Xing should have been fifteen years old three years ago, but I didn't expect Zhao Yun to have a slight lo-li tendency! (To be continued.) )
