Volume 1 Chapter 20 The Pre-War Gamble
Under the ring, those nobles exchanged ears, but few people talked about the result of this battle, after all, even if Xu Xiang's martial arts were not lost, he was by no means Mu Jun's opponent.
On the contrary, it is more about Jiang Shenyu, as the first beauty in the East China Sea, what kind of person will he marry in the future has become a topic of conversation after dinner.
"Alas, in fact, the second prince and the princess of Chu can be regarded as a good match, but these two princes are unlucky, and their own countries have been captured by Northern Mongolia. Otherwise, how can there be so many things? ”
"It's not a pity for Xu Changsha to die, it's just a pity for the princess."
"No way, who called Beimeng so strong!"
While everyone was chatting enthusiastically, a commotion broke out among the onlookers.
Everyone looked over there, and a path split out among the civilians, and a group of people came from that side.
The man at the head was dressed in a sky-blue brocade robe, and held in his hand an arm-thick, eight- or nine-inch stick, wrapped in a white cloth and resting it on his shoulder.
"He is Xu Changsha?" Mu Jun stared at the person in charge with a pair of eyes, and he didn't know who he was asking.
"Changsha, why are you here?" The moment Jiang Shenyu saw Xu Xiang, his heart was full of despair.
"The timing was just right!" Xu Xiang walked to the canopy directly below the ring, "You guys will enjoy it." ”
"Changsha!" Jiang Shenyu walked up to him, "What are you doing here?" Why not go? ”
"How can I watch you go and kiss?" Xu Xiang said gently, these words came from his sincerity, from the moment Jiang Shenyu saved him regardless of his own life, he felt that he was no longer a lonely person when he came to this world, and he had his own concerns.
In his previous life, his parents died early, and he depended on his grandfather for his life. After his grandfather passed away, he entrusted him to his comrades-in-arms, which is why he enlisted in the army.
In his life, except for his grandfather, he only got comrades in the army. These comrades-in-arms are their relatives, friends, and brothers who trust each other in life and death.
He has never been in contact with the relationship between men and women, and naturally there is no way to treat Jiang Shenyu as a wife, but at least he also treats her as a comrade-in-arms who shares life and death, and it is impossible to watch her fall into the jackal's den of Beimeng.
"But...... Even if you come, it won't help, my father has already ordered me to go to Beimeng and kiss. Jiang Shenyu's eyes moistened.
"It's okay, I'm here." Xu Xiang held her little hand, looking at her emaciated appearance, and a touch of distress rose in his heart.
The moment Xu Xiang held her hand, the tears in his eyes could no longer be held back, and they flowed down in an uproar.
"Xu Changsha, are you finished? For the sake of you being the one who is about to die, this prince specially brought the princess over so that you can see you for the last time. Seeing Xu Xiang and the two holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes, a trace of impatience rose in Mu Jun's heart.
"So, I want to thank His Royal Highness the Third Prince?" Xu Xiang turned his head to look at Mu Jun and said with a sneer.
"Thank you for that! If you're ready, we'll go to the ring and send you on your way as soon as possible, so that the princess will break her mind sooner! Mu Jun stretched his waist and said casually.
"Don't worry! His Royal Highness the Third Prince, I heard that the people of Northern Mongolia are brave and good at fighting, presumably His Royal Highness also has a unique skill, right? ”
"It's okay, Prince Ben hits you ten with one hand, it's no different from drinking a cup of tea." Mu Jun said with a proud face.
"In that case, can Your Highness bet something with me?"
"Bet on what?" Mu Jun sneered, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said leisurely: "Why should I bet with you?" ”
"Aren't you afraid of me, a waste with broken meridians?" Xu Xiang's tone was full of mockery.
"Scared?" Mu Jun snorted coldly, "If you want to use the radical method, then this prince congratulates you, you have succeeded!" ”
"Say? What do you want to bet on? After a pause, Mu Jun said with interest.
"It's very simple, you and I each have three moves, and after three moves, whoever is still standing in the ring will win." Xu Xiang replied.
"What about the bets?"
"If you lose, please get out of Linzi, sink the fish and kiss, and stop it! At the same time, the elite of Northern Mongolia on the border of the East China Sea must retreat thirty miles, and they will not be able to move troops to the East China Sea within a year! ”
Mu Jun pondered and nodded slowly, "Yes." But what if you lose? Your life is not enough! What can you come up with? ”
Beimeng has the intention of using a knife against the East China Sea, but it is definitely not now, at least a year later. The war of Chu is still ongoing, and the south has been unable to attack the city for a long time, and if the Chu state is not completely taken, the forces of Northern Mongolia are not enough to start a war with the East China Sea. The reason why the Jinjia Army was mobilized to the border of the East China Sea was only a sense of deterrence.
As for Jiang Shenyu's affinity, it was just to force Xu Xiang to show up.
Therefore, he can completely decide what Xu Xiang mentioned.
"Can Your Highness come with your ears?" Xu Xiang did not directly say his bet.
Mu Jun stood up and walked up to Xu Xiang. The latter leaned into his ear and whispered something, even if the people around him pricked up their ears, they didn't hear what Xu Xiang said.
With a few simple words, Mu Jun's face first showed a burst of joy, but then returned to normal.
"How does Prince Ben know that what you say is true or false? Even if it's true, what if you regret it afterwards? Mu Jun looked at Xu Xiang and asked indifferently.
"Then will Your Highness agree or not?" Xu Xiang did not explain.
As soon as Xu Xiang said this, the eyes of everyone present looked at Mu Jun, and while they were curious about what Xu Xiang said to him, they also wanted to see Mu Jun's reaction.
"Of course! You don't have to worry too much about whether I can deliver on what I say. After all......"
Xu Xiang paused, and then said leisurely, "You're doomed!" ”
A wave of anger rose in Mu Jun's heart, and a person who had lost all his martial arts actually said unashamedly that he was bound to lose.
"Good!" The expression on Mu Jun's face was very hideous, "If you can't cash it in, I'm going to make your life worse than death!" ”
"Come on!" Xu Xiang turned around, carried the wooden stick, and walked towards the ring with a relaxed face.
"Changsha ......" Jiang Shenyu took his hand and shook his head slowly, with a hint of dissuasion in his eyes, Xu Xiang's martial arts were lost, how could he be Mu Jun's opponent.
"Don't worry, Shenyu." Xu Xiang winked at her, gave her a charming smile, and strode towards the ring.
"It's time to start! It's time to get started! ”
The crowd stopped talking to each other and looked to the ring.
"Damn! Xu Yi, this kid, why is he in such a high ring? Xu Xiang muttered, first raised his right leg and put it on the ring, then rolled up and climbed into the ring.
Unlike his embarrassment, Mu Jun jumped lightly and landed on the ring in an extremely graceful posture, looking at the funny Xu Xiang, with a sneer in his eyes.
"Haha...... Is this to laugh at me so that I can inherit my pregnant daughter-in-law? ”
"Just you? Wang Mazi, you also have a daughter-in-law? ”
"That's not it, I got married a year ago, and I came to Linzi to work to subsidize my family, and I haven't been home for a whole year in order to earn some money! Last month, I received a letter from my hometown saying that my daughter-in-law was pregnant! ”
"Admire!"
"Wang Mazi, you are amazing!"
"The second prince of Chu State, at this level, also dares to challenge the third prince of Northern Mongolia?"
"I bet that Xu Changsha will be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth with one move! Who bets with me? ”
"Shhhh A fool bets on you! Xu Changsha is sure to lose, the key is to see what this waste prince will be beaten into! ”
"That's it? I really don't know where Xu Changsha got the courage to set up a challenge! ”
The stark contrast between the two in the ring made the crowd laugh.
"Hey...... Sacrifice ugliness, sacrifice ugliness! Xu Xiang stood up and smiled awkwardly.
"Are you ready to take a beating?" There was a hint of playfulness in Mu Jun's eyes.
"Third Highness, where's your weapon?" Xu Xiang shook the wooden stick in his hand and asked.
"Weapons? Do you need a weapon to deal with? The burning stick in your hand is a weapon? Ha ha... Hahaha... Xu Changsha, this prince will give you a chance to choose a weapon to take advantage of! Mu Jun sneered, he is a dignified eight-fold master, and he has to take a weapon to deal with a waste who has lost his martial arts, so he shouldn't be laughed out of his big teeth.
"You said you don't want weapons, don't say it's unfair if you lose!" Xu Xiang said and began to tear the white cloth wrapped in the wooden stick.
"Don't talk nonsense, pick me up first!" Mu Jun sneered, his whole body jumped up, and kicked directly at Xu Xiang.
"Volley legs! Mu Jun is really ruthless! Seeing this scene, Jiang Fu in the audience sighed and said, Mu Jun's volley leg is the family technique of the Mu family, which is extremely domineering, not to mention Xu Xiang, even if it is himself, he has to be careful in the face of the volley leg, once he is hit, the damage caused by speed and strength to the body can be described as extremely great.
"Changsha ......" Jiang Shenyu looked at the ring very worriedly, how could Xu Xiang resist? She stepped away, ready to rush forward.
However, the general surnamed Ling, who was following Mu Jun, stopped him, "Your Royal Highness Princess! The two sides of the ring are fighting, please don't interfere! ”
was stopped by him like this, she was too late to save Xu Xiang, and Mu Jun's leg had already kicked over.
Xu Xiang couldn't react to the speed of his volley legs, only to hear a muffled sound, this kick hit Xu Xiang's heart, Xu Xiang only felt a burst of blood surging, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. He also took a few steps back, and then rolled over, dodging Mu Jun's chain of attacks.
Xu Xiang, who turned over, knelt on one knee, and the white cloth wrapped in wooden sticks had all been torn off.
He gently lifted the wooden stick and aimed it at Mu Jun, who was rushing towards him, closed his left eye, and took a deep breath.
"Bang!" I only heard a loud noise, and a flame erupted from the front end of the wooden stick in Xu Xiang's hand, Mu Jun felt a sharp sound of breaking wind, his body froze, and there was a crisp sound of "ding", and the top of his head seemed to be hit by a powerful force.
The hosta tied to his hair was shattered into powder, the headband lost the fixation of the hosta and fell on the ring, and Mu Jun's hair was scattered on his face, looking embarrassed.
