Chapter 12: The World
Blood flowed down his left cheek, and the smell of blood in the night was particularly strong, Wu Sihu was calmer, he didn't have time to care, there were still a few wounds on his body, but they didn't affect his actions too much. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although there is an injury on his body at the moment, the price of this injury Wu Sihu feels that it is too worthwhile.
The remnant wolf He calmed the qi machine and locked on Wu Sihu but did not make a move, but the remaining four companions who besieged Wu Sihu fell two more with swords and one with a spear. Another round of attacks hinted by Fang Cai He Zhen, and several people did not take advantage of the slightest, but caused their own side to suffer even more damage.
Wu Sihu squatted on the ground with his left leg, maintaining the proper height of his body, he didn't want to be an obvious target for the archers in the house. He Zhen's expression was a little calm, he didn't want a few of his companions to die, it was really surprising that Wu Sihu's skills were fast, obviously he had room just now. Even if Wu Sihu was unexpected, he still hadn't taken Wu Sihu's current state into account. He naturally disdained to join forces with people to attack, not to mention that although these people were his companions, they were all under Yu Jiangshui's subordinates. He naturally knew what the consequences would be if he let Wu Sihu run away, so he took the first step.
The chilling killing machine is rising again, just now under the lock of his own qi machine, Wu Sihu can also kill his three companions, so that He Zhen will not keep it this time.
Wu Sihu only felt a chill all over his body, and a cold murderous aura poured down from his left shoulder, and at the same time enveloped his entire body, and the lightning-like murderous aura made Wu Sihu feel like he couldn't dodge for the first time. He Zhen's figure was infinitely enlarged in front of his eyes, and Wu Sihu knew that he had encountered the strongest opponent in his life. Wu Sihu didn't dodge, and there was no way to dodge, almost instinctively handed out the two spears and put them on his chest, and the lightning-like contact made a crisp sound.
With a knife, just a knife, Wu Sihu was shocked by He Zhen's sword, and even rolled out of the street with a spear. A stream of blood spurted out from his chest and throat, and Wu Sihu only felt that his hands were sore and weak, and the meridians of his body were numb. Since he personally got the guidance of the sick tiger Yang Jiong, Wu Sihu has failed so badly for the first time, and it seems to be deeply injured, and now in the Jianghu people, the external kung fu like Wu Sihu is already very good, but in the inner master of this level of He Zhen, it seems to be a little vulnerable.
He Zhen didn't continue to attack, and stood there looking at Wu Sihu coldly. He knew that as long as he made another move, Wu Sihu would definitely die, and his hoarse voice sounded again: "Ask you again, cooperate with me to give you a chance." "He didn't want Wu Sihu's life right away, according to his previous style, where would he talk so much nonsense with Wu Sihu, if it wasn't for someone telling him to leave Wu Sihu useful when he came, he wouldn't have given Wu Sihu the slightest chance. Because although Wu Sihu's skills are not very high, he can feel that Wu Sihu is by no means a weak hand, if his internal strength breaks through, his skills will be a terrible opponent.
Wu Sihu knew that he had no way to defeat He Zhen, and suddenly felt a little sad in his heart, yes, it was indeed sad! He remembered that he had been taught in the Wu family since he was a child, and he had almost no way to repay the kindness that the Wu family gave him, so he desperately went to serve the Wu family. Later, because Wu Yanrou was taught by Yang Jiong, he and several brothers who served Wu Yanrou could follow Wu Yanrou together and work hard to learn from Yang Jiong. And because he and several other brothers were smart, they were guided by Yang Jiong, and Yang Jiong was in charge of Jinweizhi and was fortunate to follow Jinweizhi.
Yang Jiong once said in front of Wu Yanrou that he and Wu Da and Wu Qi would have great achievements in the future, but they needed continuous efforts and great opportunities. He never knew what this chance was, so he had to practice hard. He has always worked hard to improve himself, and he is now a top-notch player in Jinweizhi, but he can't even make a move in the hands of He Zhen, what is this?
What a master! Wu Sihu naturally knew that Yang Jiong was, but he usually looked like a scholar, and he didn't do much in front of everyone at all, even if he pointed out, it was just a guide in skills, so Wu Sihu had eyesight now, but he hadn't really seen him do it with a master like Yang Jiong.
Now it's this He Zhen, this kind of compelling momentum, this kind of ghostly body! This is the master at his fingertips, and he himself is like a deadly weapon. That momentum makes the opponent feel a sense of frustrated powerlessness, which is the pressure caused by a domineering internal force.
Wu Sihu was fortunate to be able to learn Tiger Lion Jin with Yang Jiong, even if he was talented and smart, perhaps because of his late learning age, he usually went smoothly after being instructed to get started, but since then the progress has been very slow. After more than ten years of unremitting practice, Wu Sihu has not yet broken through the fifth layer of tiger and lion strength, and has not yet broken through the fifth layer of tiger and lion strength. So even though he has reached the extreme of his external kung fu and has the help of Tiger Lion Jin, he is still too far away from the real internal master.
Even though he has been in the industry for many years, Tiger Lion's strength makes him much faster and stronger than ordinary people, but compared with the real internal masters, the gap is naturally revealed. Yang Jiong's tiger and lion strength that he cultivated is very famous in the world, Yang Jiong crisscrossed the rivers and lakes many years ago, and in just more than ten years, he broke through the first-class master's emphasis on the cultivation of moves, and reached the realm of returning to the truth of all things in heaven and earth. Since then, he has truly become a top master on the celebrity art list who does not ask for foreign things, and the tiger and lion energy he taught must be the world's best art and art.
Blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth, Wu Sihu suddenly felt a feeling of relief in his chest, looking at He Zhen's contemptuous eyes, he couldn't help but think of Yang Jiong's expectations. Wu Sihu suddenly felt that his dantian was hot, and then his whole body was sore, and he only felt that the meridians of his limbs and hundreds of bones suddenly twitched, and the severe pain made him can't help but let out a wild howl.
The original faint meridians seemed to have been blown up, and they expanded rapidly from the inner dantian outward along the eight veins of the Qi meridian and the hundreds of limbs. The heart-piercing pain made Wu Sihu tremble, and he desperately remembered the short spear he held tightly in his right hand, but the sharp pain of pulling and twitching made him plunge the short spear into the ground halfway, but the person had no strength.
He Zhen looked at Wu Sihu's tragic situation at this time, and naturally didn't know what had happened, but he knew that Wu Sihu must be uncomfortable now. If he knew that the meridians of Wu Sihu's body were undergoing earth-shaking changes, and under his own heavy blow, he actually allowed Wu Sihu to break through the cultivation that had not progressed for a long time and enter the fifth layer realm of Tiger Lion Jin, it was conceivable that he would definitely vomit more blood than Wu Sihu at this time.
Wu Sihu suddenly stood up, his face was still twitching under the clean moonlight, and it was mixed with stains of blood, and it suddenly made people feel awe-inspired. He faintly exuded a strong fighting spirit, and it seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, this is an indomitable fighting power. His eyes were full of determination and affirmation, staring at He Zhen motionlessly, he slowly raised the short spear in his right hand and pointed it at He Zhen, although his hand was still trembling. Then he made a surprising move, only to see his left toe slammed hard, and the person rushed towards He Zhen like an arrow from the string. Sky! Is he crazy to dare to attack He Zhen, who is much stronger than him, and he took the initiative to attack with heavy injuries.
Wu Sihu knew better than anyone that at this time, the surging true qi in his body was rapidly flowing through the eight veins of the Qi meridians of his body, although he had just been hit hard, he felt that he had never felt like he was full of combat power at this moment, so he chose to make a move. And he also knew that the moment he just fell to the ground, the archers in the shops on both sides subconsciously relaxed, which was captured by the keen senses that he had cultivated for many years, and at this moment he seemed to be able to feel the state and expression of these archers with his eyes closed.
Suppressing the surprise brought by the strengthening of his keen sense of the surrounding environment, he knew that if he wanted to survive, he had to get out of the deadly encirclement, and the best way not to be attacked by the archers was to attack the opponent himself. And in the face of He Zhen, who was much stronger than himself, he could actually feel the frequency of his breathing and the feeling of his heartbeat, Wu Sihu had a feeling of confidence that he could give it a go for the first time.
Surprisingly, Emperor Liu Sheng has not yet come out. Wang Yu, who is also a bachelor's student, first came out with the holy decree. re-relayed the afternoon's will, to the effect that the emperor said a lot of modest words about his lack of government, and said that he was not in good health, and for the sake of the eternal inheritance of his ancestors, he elected King Wei as the crown prince in the heavenly carrier. This is something that everyone expected, but it is just a formality.
At the same time, a shocking thing was promulgated, that is, the edict let the prince supervise the country, and at the same time ordered King Qi, Lu Ying, Lu Qiongxian, and Li Yu to assist them, and at the same time went to Changhua Palace three days later to worship their ancestors. Liu Sheng almost made a decision, that is, no one even stood up for Lu Ying's and a few other people, and others didn't dare to do anything, who would be idle and joke about their heads.
When the people in the hall were shocked to digest the unexpected news, Liu Sheng, accompanied by three or four ladies, Shi Shiran came out and sat on the highest dragon chair to accept everyone's gifts.
Liu Sheng's spirit seemed to be good, but his eyes obviously couldn't hide his haggard look. Many courtiers in the hall who followed him to forge ahead back then, seeing the consequences of his indulging in wine in the past few years, are now emptied, and they have almost often not gone to court in the past year, and everyone can't help but feel at a loss in their hearts.
What made Liu Jixing a little big was that he actually saw Ma Pearl again. The table of Mrs. Jade Ma Min and Mrs. Ya Lu Ya was placed on the right step of the same level as King Qi, and Ma Pearl was sitting next to Mrs. Yu, looking at herself with affection, her eyes were full of grievances, which made Liu Jixing quite speechless and unable to do so.
But what made Liu Jixing happy and surprised was that the frangipani also came, but she was standing behind Mrs. Ya. Thinking of the ** with this girl, Liu Jixing smiled a little. There is also a Mrs. Yuan that Liu Jixing is not very familiar with, she actually led an attendant very close to Emperor Liu Sheng.
Liu Jixing is not familiar with this lady, but it is said that she is also favored by Liu Sheng, after Mrs. Jade Ma Min is favored, she is not publicistic or competent, and she usually lives with those concubines, and only comes out when Emperor Liu Sheng summons her. Liu Jixing hadn't seen her a few times in his memory, and he didn't expect that this time he would be crowned the crown prince, and she would actually come out.
Liu Jixing didn't expect it himself, just because he didn't pay attention to it, and later almost because of this Mrs. Yuan, there was a big problem. Of course, Liu Jixing looked at this fat lady at this moment, and he was not interested in taking a second look at it at all.
And another Mrs. Fang, Pan Yulian, sat on the lower steps of Liu Jixing's side, she was the biological mother of the newly canonized Gui King Liu Xuanxing, and the daughter of the famous general Pan Chongche. The Wei Wang in Liu Jixing's mind is not very interested in her, one is that she is always aimed at herself in the palace because of her son, and the other is that she is the kind of plump beauty in Liu Jixing's era, and there is still a lot of gap between the aesthetics of Wei Wang's era, and Wei Wang usually scolds her behind her back. And she was obviously not right about this Wei Wang Wei who was competing for favor with her son, and at this time she also brought a so-called round-faced and beautiful palace maid behind her.
There are no complicated etiquette in the Tang Dynasty, and it may be that the etiquette is lost after living in a remote place, but Liu Jixing still listened to Guang Luqing and Honglu come out politely, and Qing chirped for nearly half an hour to distort Liwen's sentences.
When Liu Jixing's patience was about to run out, it was finally time for the high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty to routinely salute and congratulate Liu Sheng, and then to congratulate themselves, and then finally the remaining officials above the fifth rank and below the fourth rank collectively made contributions. It was the last turn of Emperor Liu Sheng, and he naturally lifted his triumphant Wang Ba's spirit, waved his hand and announced that the whole country was celebrating, and the hall finally opened.
Singing and dancing were celebrated, and after three rounds of wine, the envoys of the various countries in the palace of Xingwang came to congratulate the emperor.
These may have been arranged, and Liu Jixing couldn't understand it, so he sat in his position and watched, listening to Xiao Yue introduce and explain these relationships from time to time, as well as the impact of these things on his future life, which really opened Liu Jixing's eyes.
The first person to come to present Liu Sheng was Qiao Kuangyu, the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty in Xingwangfu. Liu Jixing looked at the demeanor of this Southern Tang Dynasty official who was about forty years old, and couldn't help but feel good in his heart. Xiao Yue seemed to see Liu Jixing's feelings, sat aside and poured cold water, and said softly: "This person is the third brother of Qiao Kuangshun, a scholar in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it is said that he is also the head of the free faction in the world, and the guest of the East China Sea fairy Geng Xiansheng!" You see that he is personable and extraordinary, but in Xingwangfu, he has worn a lot of small shoes for you big men and caused a lot of trouble! ”
Liu Jixing didn't squeak, and he didn't say anything about smiling at her. In the original history, the Southern Tang Dynasty was not frightened by the army of Later Zhou Chai Rong until next year, and since then it has been reluctantly downgraded to a vassal state of Later Zhou to survive. However, because the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty has always ranked first among the ten kingdoms, and has always regarded itself as the leader among these separatist forces, it was later defeated by the Later Zhou that it frightened the neighboring Hou Shu and the Southern Han into not daring to act. At this time, the envoys of other countries are still relatively popular in various places, Liu Jixing thinks that it is he Qiao Kuangyu who is talking nonsense in Xingwangfu, and there is really no way for ordinary people to take him.
But Liu Jixing definitely didn't want to wait for death in his heart, and he only had one year to calculate according to the time of the Later Zhou expedition to the Southern Tang Dynasty. How to convince Liu Sheng, a cheap father, to make a difference in this year's time, maybe he can take advantage of Nantang to get a piece of the pie next year.
Of course, if you count Zhao Kuangyin's southern expedition on behalf of Zhou Lisong, there are still four years to go, as long as you prepare well, if you can't defeat the powerful army of Hou Zhou or Song at that time, you should have no problem sailing to Hainan or Ryukyu, thinking of this, I can't help but feel relaxed.
This Qiao Kuangyu's voice was loud and spoke the official language of the common scene in all countries, first the representative of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing, who was neither humble nor arrogant, congratulated the new crown prince of the Han Dynasty, and then went through the history of friendly exchanges between the two countries, hoping to continue to maintain economic and trade exchanges between the two countries, and of course, he also lightly hoped that the disputes between the two countries in the territory of Chu could be stopped and the state of friendly territory could be maintained.
After listening to Qiao Kuangyu's congratulations, Liu Sheng sat there and couldn't see any expression on his face, and motioned to Gong Chengshu, the eunuch, to give Qiao Kuangyu wine. He first looked at Liu Jixing here, and then looked at Lu Ying.
Lu Ying stroked his beard without squeaking but nodded, but he also looked at Liu Jixing's side. Liu Jixing doesn't know much about the current real situation of the world's dynamics, and he is still in the tutoring under the rich knowledge of Xia Qinghou and Xiao Yue, so it is naturally inconvenient to talk too much and show his feet, not to mention that in reality, as the king of Wei, he is still young, and he has just recovered from a serious illness! Liu Sheng was a pig and a tiger in his contact in the past two days, so he had to pretend to be stupid.
Lu Ying saw Liu Jixing looking at him politely with a smile and nodding silently. He groaned for a while, then slowly stood up, arched his hand towards Qiao Kuangyu and said: "Lord Qiao, your country and my Han Dynasty are one of the closest neighbors, first of all, thank you for your gratitude to my Han Dynasty!" Of course, Huainan, Jiangnan, and Lingnan have always been closely linked, but since Huangchao raised the Tang Dynasty, the world has been in turmoil for decades. The ancestors of both you and I can open a state and establish a country, all because they understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, but my Han Dynasty has been prosperous since Emperor Gaozu, and the people are united. Today, the Han Dynasty is the richest country in the world. Your country has always had a lot of soldiers and generals are widely known as the leaders of all countries, but for some reason they have been defeated by the invasion of the Zhou State again and again, and now the land of Jiangbei must be in danger, and the border has been fighting for many years, the old man thinks that your country must be unbearable! Take this great opportunity to make a suggestion to your country, you and I will form more alliances! He spoke slowly, and Qiao Kuangyu's face changed suddenly.
But Lu Ying didn't wait for Qiao Kuangyu to speak, so he turned his mouth and continued: "I think that my Han Dynasty has always been friendly and subject states, connecting Dali in the west, Xiangshu in the middle, Quanzhang in the east, and the vast South China Sea in the outside, the wind and rain in the country are smooth, the materials are abundant, and the treasury and jewels are countless, but my lord pities the people and doesn't want to kill more, so he has not tried to go north so far." If your country wants to continue to maintain friendship, our Han Dynasty will definitely support your country even more, develop the economy of more than ten states in Yannan, and trade exchanges within our Han Dynasty. As for those so-called territorial disputes, it is good for you and me to maintain the status quo, and presumably there will be no bad disputes between your Excellency! The old man thought that the lord of your country is indeed a person with a heart, and the new prince of our country is happy all over the world, so he asked Lord Qiao to convey our Majesty's greetings and thanks to your lord, it is said that now the Zhou country is plotting your country's Jiangbei, our Majesty and the whole country are in a period of great joy, and will try their best to restrain some bad small frictions on the border with your country, to avoid your country being distracted, of course, if your country needs help, the old man thinks that according to my Majesty's character, he will definitely agree to help! But there is no trivial matter in the country, and I hope that your lord will also express his sincerity! ”
People are old and fine, Lu Yingsi said it slowly, but in fact, it was all scenes. Liu Sheng sat on it and listened to it but was very happy, what Lu Ying said was actually a naked threat, you Nantang was attacked by the Zhou State, and our Han didn't take advantage of the fire to rob you to save face. It's really good that Lu Ying doesn't have to worry about anything, he took a sip of the wine in the cup proudly, and looked at Qiao Kuangyu below.
This Qiao Kuangyu also has a few years of experience in Xingwangfu, knowing Lu Ying's weight in the Han Dynasty now, he is not angry and there is no need to be angry, he greeted the women of the Lu family in his heart, laughed and raised his glass to Lu Ying: "Lord Lu is the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty, what he said is very reasonable, today is the day of great joy for His Majesty and His Royal Highness and the Great Han Kingdom, Qiao does not mention state affairs, only blessings, only blessings to His Royal Highness!" He raised his head and drank a full cup, and Gong Chengshu on the side immediately filled it again.
Liu Sheng laughed and didn't say much, got up and toasted, and the hall was full of blessings for a while.
This Qiao Kuangyu has just begun, and it seems that he has a sharp edge in the open and secret fighting, his face is flat, and Yang Jian, the envoy of Dali, raised his glass.
"This Yang Jian is a member of the Yang family, one of the four great heroes of the founding of Dali, who has been erudite and proficient in Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism since he was a child, and is said to be a registered disciple of Dong Jialuo, the king of peacocks!" Xiao Yue is worthy of being Miaoxin Wenji's erudition and proficiency, sitting on Liu Jixing's side and whispering, he immediately told Yang Jian's true identity.
"I heard that the Yang family and the Gao family in Dali have been in retreat for the past ten years because Dong Jialuo has not been able to come out, and they have joined forces to attack the prestige and power of the Dong family and the Zhao family of another family in Dali, this Yang Jian is the person sent by the Gao and Yang families to win over your father, and when you were treating in Luofu Mountain before, they promised to marry a princess of the Dali Kingdom to your younger brother King Gui!" She looked at Liu Jixing with a smile in her words, and glanced at Mrs. Fang on the table next to her. To her surprise, seeing that Liu Jixing didn't care, she couldn't help but smile.
This Yang Jian's temperament is not below Qiao Kuangyu, and he is more comfortable than Qiao Kuangyu, but what surprised Liu Jixing was that after he said a kind word, Lu Ying did not come out to stab him, and Liu Sheng also gave a lot of gifts to the lord and queen of Dali. After listening to Xiao Yue's explanation, Liu Jixing learned that the queen of the current lord of Dali was said to be Liu Sheng's niece.
When it was the turn of the envoy of Shu to come up, it turned out to be a Taoist priest. This made Liu Jixing feel a little inexplicable, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and when he looked at Xiao Yue, he couldn't help but smile proudly: "The power of the Dao Gate is really great!"
Xiao Yue didn't mind Liu Jixing's hint, and said in a low voice: "This person's name Song Xing has nothing to do with my master, he is the descendant of Mr. Guangcheng's lineage, Zhang Daozi's apprentice of Zhang Suqing, but this person is more famous in the Yangtze River Basin, and together with his three fellow disciples, he is called the Four Friends of Pengzhou on the rivers and lakes, and his swordsmanship is quite beautiful!" The lord of Shu has always admired Zhang Daozi, and it is expected that he can be called to come to Xingwangfu as an envoy, and it is certain that the other three of the four friends of Pengzhou must also follow, this person has a good reputation, you can contact him more in the future, and by the way, you can learn about some of the situations in Shu! ”
Liu Jixing couldn't help but remember it carefully, and said with a smile: "Is this your idea or Mr. Xia's meaning!" Xiao Yue glared at Liu Jixing with both eyes, but Liu Jixing couldn't help but feel that the room was full of brilliance, thinking that the beauty was so beautiful when he was angry, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "I understand!" Xiao Yue and Liu Jixing have not been in contact for a long time, and they thought that he was not very old, and he never took Liu Jixing's words seriously. But every time I saw Liu Jixing's demeanor, it didn't seem to be fake, which made Xiao Yuefang's heart a little touched, and she couldn't help but squeak.
Imagine what girl doesn't like to be said to be beautiful, but since she was a child, only some people say that she is smart, but no one has said that she is beautiful. It's like in Liu Jixing's era, if you praise Shen Dianxia for being beautiful, isn't it the same as slapping someone's face? But Xiao Yue saw and felt Liu Jixing's sincerity from Liu Jixing's eyes, and she couldn't help but be defeated by this ridiculous little prince.
Just watched this person come up one after another to drink and bless, and after basically the envoys from all over the world came up for a while, Wu Huaien came out again and said a word of thanks for Liu Sheng. Then Gong Chengshu passed the word to continue to give gifts, and it was the turn of those businessmen from all over the world who had identity and capital to do business in Xingwangfu.
