Chapter 61: Competition
On the afternoon of the third day, the two guards outside the valley came with good news, saying that the two young masters of Chijiang and Chiyu had captured two monks from Fanyin Temple.
Cao Xiaoyang learned from the maid's mouth that Chi Jiang and Chi Yu were the two generals under the Witch King, of which Chi Jiang was the son of the Witch King, that is, Chi Xiaoyue's elder brother, and Chi Yu was the adopted son of the Witch King.
They said that the Fanyin Temple is a temple dedicated to the study of exorcism Buddhism, the monks in it are perennial enemies of the Worm Valley, and have killed a lot of Gu Miao people with the surname Chi, this time the two young masters caught the two monks, one of the thirteen monks of the Fanyin Temple, which is a great joy for them.
At this time, Cao Xiaoyang also followed the Miao people in the valley to greet the triumph of the two young masters, and Cao Xiaoyang found that this Chijiang and Chiyu were two young people of the same age as him, although they were dressed a little strangely, but they both looked heroic.
The two monks they brought back were an old man and a young monk, the old one had a snow-white beard, and the younger one looked no more than ten years old, and the two of them were stained with blood on their snow-white clothes, and it seemed that they were both seriously injured.
At this time, the Witch King also came to meet his two sons outside the valley, and after seeing the Witch King, Chi Jiang hurriedly went over to salute, and then began to tell the Witch King how he had captured the two monks.
And after the Chi Yu saluted the Witch King, he came to Chi Xiaoyue's side for the first time, and then took out a box and handed it to her.
Chi Xiaoyue took the box and opened it, only to see that it was a crystal necklace inside.
"Xiaoyue, I took the time to buy it for you, do you like it?"
Chi Xiaoyue smiled and nodded. "I like it, thank you, Brother Chi Yu. ”
As he spoke, he grabbed Cao Xiaoyang's hand and said to Chi Yu: "Brother Chi Yu, let me introduce to you, this is my fiancé, his name is Cao Xiaoyang." ”
This Chi Yu was originally full of smiles, but when he heard the word "fiancé", his face suddenly changed.
"Fiancé?"
Chi Xiaoyue said with a smile: "Yes, we will get married in ten days." ”
Chi Yu frowned, and said coldly: "Did Daddy agree to this?"
"Of course, Daddy even gave him Tai Sui wine to drink. ”
Immediately afterwards, Chi Yu glanced at Cao Xiaoyang in a daze, stopped talking, turned around and walked into the Worm Valley alone.
At this time, Cao Xiaoyang was very puzzled and asked Chi Xiaoyue: "What's wrong with your brother, I feel that he seems to hate me very much." ”
"Don't think about it, Brother Chi Yu is usually such a person, and he doesn't like to talk very much. I've found my own Ruyi Langjun now, it's too late for him to be happy for me, how can he hate you. ”
That being said, Cao Xiaoyang later learned that this Chi Yu, as the adopted son of the Witch King, had a love for Chi Xiaoyue since he was a child, and even asked the Witch King to marry Chi Xiaoyue as his wife after he became an adult.
But at that time, Chi Xiaoyue was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the Witch King temporarily rejected Chi Yu because she was too young, but promised him that as long as he was loyal to the Worm Valley and made more meritorious contributions, he would definitely marry her to him when he became an adult.
Since then, Chi Yu has been loyal to the Witch King all these years, and he has even worked harder than the Witch King's own son when performing tasks, and he has indeed made a lot of contributions to the Worm Valley over the years, so that the Witch King can fulfill the promise of the year.
Now seeing that Chi Xiaoyue is about to become an adult, but at this time, a fiancé Cao Xiaoyang suddenly appeared, and this Chi Yu's feelings can be imagined.
That night, the celebration banquet was held normally, the Miao girl sang and danced, the people at the table ate meat and drank wine, and there was a scene of joy everywhere, except for Chi Yu who sat alone in the corner and drank stuffy wine.
His eyes looked at Cao Xiaoyang and Chi Xiaoyue from time to time, only to see Chi Xiaoyue keep putting vegetables into Cao Xiaoyang's bowl, Cao Xiaoyang couldn't get used to drinking the wine here, so she poured out the small bowl and fed him a little bit, saying that she wanted to help him practice the amount of wine a little bit.
After staring at the two of them for a long time, Chi Yu finally couldn't stand it anymore, he slammed the table, and the originally joyful atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
Chi Yu slowly stood up from the table, and Chi Jiang took his hand.
"What are you going to do?"
Chi Jiang thought that he was going to be drunk too much, there is a rule in this worm valley, that is, you can drink too much wine, and if you are drunk, you will go to sleep honestly, if you dare to use the strength of alcohol to go crazy, you will be severely punished.
Because such a thing happened in Miao Jiang in ancient times, it was said that at that time, a vassal king of Miao Jiang personally held a celebration banquet for the great agitated army in the palace in order to reward the triumphant army, and the agitated army drank a lot of wine at the banquet, and then put forward a request to cheer up the king's sword dance.
In normal times, it was absolutely forbidden to dance with swords in the palace, but that night the king gave extra permission to the sword dance of the Agitation army.
Later, the Agitated army took advantage of the sword dance to suddenly attack the king and kill him, and then because he held the power of the army, he directly launched a coup d'état and seized the throne.
In fact, the agitated army wanted to seek power and usurp the throne in a premeditated manner, but after seizing the throne, in order to protect his reputation, he said that the previous killing of the king was his drunken mistake, and as for his acceptance of the throne, it was because the king had no children under his knees.
In fact, the vassal king had dozens of sons, but they were all killed overnight, and the common people fully understood that this great agitation army was a usurpation, but the emperor said so, and the common people naturally did not dare to do more.
And the vassal king is actually the ancestor of the Chi clan, and it is precisely because of the usurpation of the Great Agitation Army that the Chi clan has declined little by little in the Miao Jiang region.
Therefore, there is a rule in the valley of worms, and anyone who acts while drunk will be recognized as his intention, which means that if you are rude to the witch king after drinking, that is really rude, and will not forgive you because you are drunk.
And because of the existence of this emotion, the consequences of making trouble after drinking are even more serious than when you are sober.
So far, no one at the Witch King's wine table has dared to slap the table and stand up, Chi Jiang and Chi Yu have always had a good relationship, so at this moment, when he saw Chi Yu make an out-of-character move, he would nervously stop him.
But it seemed to be too late at this time, and the eyes of everyone at the wine table, including the Witch King, were on him, and at this time, Chi Jiang hurriedly got up and ran to the Witch King to apologize.
"Father, he has drunk a little too much, and I ask you to forgive me. ”
The Witch King frowned, perhaps remembering that they had done a great job today, so he didn't intend to bother with him.
"If you drink too much, go back to rest quickly. ”
"Yes. ”
So Chi Jiang hurriedly pulled Chi Yu and planned to leave, but Chi Yu stood there stunned and didn't plan to leave, and then stared at Cao Xiaoyang with a very vicious gaze, and said: "I heard that my father has found a virtuous son-in-law for Xiao Yue, I think that since he can be worthy of Xiao Yue's sister, this brother must be very simple, and he should be a great hero." It just so happens that I like to make friends with such heroes the most, and they all say that if you don't fight, you won't know each other, so I want to learn from this brother, everyone should be okay, right?"
Cao Xiaoyang was eating the contents of the bowl in a big gulp, and when he heard this, he was suddenly a little confused.
"Fight with me?"
Chi Yu forced a smile and nodded. "That's right. ”
Chi Xiaoyue grew up with Chi Yu since she was a child, and she knows his strength very well, and she has also learned about Cao Xiaoyang's skills before, and knows that if these two people fight, Cao Xiaoyang is completely like an egg hitting a stone, and there is absolutely no possibility of winning.
In Chi Xiaoyue's eyes, Chi Yu is her brother who loves her, so she is not worried that he will hurt her fiancé, but she is still afraid that Cao Xiaoyang will lose face after losing, after all, she will be his wife soon, and she must think about her husband's face, so at this time she took the lead in getting up and rejecting Chi Yu.
"Brother Chi Yu, everyone will be a family in the future, I think there is really no need to learn. ”
