Sima Yan heard in the court that Sima Shun and Mao Lingfeng went out of the city together every day and returned to the city together, and couldn't help laughing. Suddenly, his heart moved, "Well, if I don't give him a favor between the two of them, by the way, let's see if the two fight, whether the prince is stronger or the general is stronger." In the future, the husband sings with the woman, or the woman sings with the husband. Thinking of this, with a stroke of the pen, a holy order was sent to the Guogong Mansion in the evening.

Sima Shun and Mao Lingfeng had just returned to the mansion, and they hadn't had time to sit down. I heard the chamberlain shouting, "The decree has arrived." Hurriedly dressed and knelt on the ground. The chief manager Li An read aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said that the emperor ordered the prince of Wushun and General Feifeng to personally lead 5,000 elites to carry out a confrontation drill in Zhongshan tomorrow, and they must go all out and not deliberately release water." Tomorrow I will personally supervise it, and violators will be severely punished. After listening to the eunuch reading out, he finished reading. Take the decree. The two looked at each other, what did the emperor want to do. Watching the two of them fight still has another meaning.

So the family sat in the living room and discussed for a long time, but they couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts. Since the emperor is here in person, let's fight with real knives and guns! So the two of them thought together. couldn't help but smile at each other, Mao Lingfeng smiled and said: "The emperor has a decree, tomorrow the two of us will have a competition, see how the prince's martial arts are, I won't let you then!" ”

Sima Shun raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, tomorrow I will do my best to compare, let me see the real ability of the general." If you lose, just ignore me. ”

Mao Lingfeng laughed, "If I have real skills, I am convinced." At that time, the prince will not be able to afford to lose. ”

Sima Shun smiled: "Feng'er, if you can win me, it will all depend on Feng'er in the future, don't dare to disobey." ”

"Really." Mao Lingfeng asked.

"Well, it's true. There is no lie. ”

"Okay, that's a deal. See you tomorrow. ”

"See you tomorrow." Sima Shun resigned and returned home. Mao Lingfeng got up to send him off.

The next day, the two of them left the city early, each returned to the camp and ordered 5,000 elites, and rushed to the foot of Zhongshan Mountain. Just finished the queue. Sima Yan arrived with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. The two stepped forward and bowed: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live." ”

Sima Yan waved his hand: "No courtesy, flat body." ”

Sima Shun was puzzled and asked: "The emperor wants us to draw men and horses to carry out a real confrontation drill, what does this mean?" ”

Sima Yan smiled: "I have my own opinions, in short, I am not allowed to deliberately release water." Both will have to give it their all. Otherwise, the heavy responsibility will not be spared. The two looked at each other, their faces full of doubt, but they didn't dare to ask again.

Sima Yan ordered people to plant a dragon flag on the top of the mountain and hang a holy decree. After the arrangement, I chose a place on the top of the mountain to sit down and watch. At the sound of an order, the two sides set out in unison. Both sides are elites, although it is a drill, not to be seriously injured and disabled, but also blood, soon both sides are spotted with blood. The two sides are in a stalemate. No one could get a step closer to the Dragon Banner.

Seeing the situation at the scene, Mao Lingfeng couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for the almost annihilation of the Feifeng Battalion, it would not be like this today. The figure flashed, and he personally went up the mountain to pounce on the dragon flag.

Sima Shun saw it, not to be far behind, and shouted: "Feng'er go slowly." "Hurry up and stop. The two met ten feet away from the Dragon Banner. Long Yuan and Feng Ming came out of their sheaths together, two rays of light rose, and the two figures flew left and right, tightly entangled together.

As soon as the two fought, they were secretly frightened, Sima Shun watched Mao Lingfeng's moves be more dignified, ruthless, old, and more flexible than five years ago on the school field. I can't help but admire in my heart, this girl, five years of fighting, has made great progress in martial arts, compared with five years ago, it is simply a difference. In terms of this move alone, it is really difficult for me to beat her by one and a half moves.

Mao Lingfeng looked at Sima Shun's moves, and couldn't help but wonder secretly, how could this swordsmanship look a little plausible with himself. But I haven't heard the master say that in addition to the senior brother and the second senior brother, there are also apprentices. How could this sword technique be so similar. The more I fight, the more confused I become. lost his mind and was almost stabbed by Sima Shun, and hurriedly cleaned up his mood. Concentrate on coping.

Sima Shun looked at her with doubts on his face, and smiled secretly in his heart. It seems that this girl has seen that something is wrong. The long sword pointed at him, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Feng'er, what's the matter, you can't win me!" It's better to give up sooner. ”

Mao Lingfeng twisted his eyebrows, "Who is your master, and why is it somewhat similar to my swordsmanship." ”

Sima Shun smiled: "I'll tell you later, I'll talk about winning now." After saying that, the two fought together again. After a long time, Mao Lingfeng's physical strength was a little unbearable, and he suffered a heavy blow last time, although it had been more than a year, after all, he had hurt his vitality. The physical strength is not as good as before.

After an hour, Mao Lingfeng was already drenched in sweat, and a slight panting sound came faintly. Sima Shun watched as the woman's head was sweating and her breath was short. Knowing that she is physically exhausted. There was a sigh in my heart. deliberately exposed a flaw, Mao Lingfeng saw that his left rib was exposed, and he was slightly stunned, and did not take advantage of the void. but pretended not to be seen. Still attacking from the front.

Sima Shun knew at a glance that she was unwilling to attack her weaknesses and wanted to fight openly, but in fact, because Sima Shun lost her left arm, the left defense was weak.

If Mao Lingfeng is eager to win, he will focus on Sima Shun's left. I'm afraid that Sima Shun has also been injured and defeated, Mao Lingfeng didn't see it, but she didn't want to do it, she wanted to win above board, and lose openly and honestly.

Of course, all this was unknown to the ministers of civil and military affairs in the stands. Watching the two of them sword qi and fighting together, they didn't know the winner after an hour. Wen Chen still couldn't see anything. The generals were secretly frightened. I thought in my heart that I could block a few moves against them, but the more I looked at it, the more I admired, it turned out that the last school competition, people didn't do their best, and they left a backup move. If it weren't for the fact that his physical strength was not as good as that of a man, I am afraid that King Wushun would lose sooner or later.

Sima Yan also saw this, after all, he must also have martial arts and have been on the battlefield. A pair of eyes stared at the two of them tightly, and their hearts were full of joy. was finally able to force out their real martial arts, and he couldn't estimate that Mao Lingfeng didn't go all out on the school field at that time. After five years of battlefield training, martial arts are very different from before. No wonder all his soldiers are convinced.

The native soldiers on both sides of the field also stopped fighting, and stood there fixedly looking at the two delicate figures on the top of the mountain. No one went to snatch the dragon banner and the holy decree.

Suddenly, I only listened, and with an oops, the two figures parted violently. I saw Mao Lingfeng holding his stomach and bowing down. Sima Shun was taken aback, thinking that he had hurt her by mistake. threw away Long Yuan, and hurriedly hugged her and asked, "What's the matter, Feng'er, is it that injured?" ”

Mao Lingfeng's face was flushed, and he pushed him away and said, "It's okay, I'm not injured, I'm sick." After speaking, he took out a pill and swallowed it. The four of them had already stepped forward to help Mao Lingfeng and asked, "Miss, but I'm not feeling well." ”

Mao Lingfeng nodded. Sima Shun was confused when he looked at it from the side, and asked repeatedly: "What's the matter, it's uncomfortable there, let me take a look." ”

Mao Lingfeng blushed with shame, gave him a blank look, ignored him, didn't want the dragon flag, turned around and left.

Sima Shun was willing to let her go, and as soon as he picked her up, he refused to let go no matter how hard she struggled. Said gently: "You are not feeling well, I will send you home." ”

Mao Lingfeng was ashamed and anxious, struggling hard, but his strength was a little weak, and when he saw that he couldn't break free, he just lay in his ear and begged: "Let go, the emperor and the soldiers are watching!" Don't worry, I'm fine.

"Really, it's fine." Sima Shun's face was full of worry. Mao Lingfeng nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I used too much force today, just take a rest." Let me go down and return to the emperor to return to the house. ”

"yes, okay." Sima Shun said but didn't let go of her, and hurried all the way to Sima Yan. Only then did he put her down gently. Mao Lingfeng stood up straight and was about to kneel.

Sima Yan waved his hand to stop and asked, "Why is this the Qing family?" ”

Mao Lingfeng bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, it was the minister's excessive exertion today, which caused an old illness, and the minister was willing to admit defeat, and the minister retired first." ”

"Don't regret it, admit defeat today." Sima Yan asked.

"I don't regret it." Mao Lingfeng said.

"Okay, seal Mao Lingfeng as the Marquis of Jingbian, the deputy marshal of the national soldiers and horses, and Sima Shun as the generalissimo to command the three armies." Sima Yan shouted his message.

Deputy Marshal, Mao Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that it was for this reason that he would let himself compete with Sima Shun, and he was not allowed to release water. After Sima Shun and Mao Lingfeng thanked the emperor, they hurried back to the mansion, and Chen was startled when he saw his daughter's pale face. Zhiqin had already instructed Yahuan to make hot water, and Zhishu and Zhihua helped Mao Lingfeng back to Lingxiang Pavilion. Just after dealing with the stop, Mao Lingfeng lay on the bed and rested.

Sima Shun hurriedly finished handling the affairs and broke in with a big fire. Seeing that Mao Lingfeng wanted to get up, he hurriedly pressed her.

Sima Shun sat on the edge of the bed and saw that her face was still not good, and wondered: "Feng'er, what's wrong with you, why does it hurt so badly." Why don't I ask a doctor to come and have a look. ”

"Don't." Mao Lingfeng hurriedly stopped. Hold his hand. ”

"Then you tell me, it's uncomfortable." Sima Shun looked at her with burning eyes.

Mao Lingfeng saw that he was persistent, and he looked like he broke the casserole and asked to the end. blushed and twisted for a long time before leaning on her ear and whispering: "I've come to Kwai Shui, it's like this every time, and it's okay after that." Don't worry. ”

Although Sima Shun has not had contact with other women, at this age, of course, he also knows that women will have such a few days a month. Looking at Mao Lingfeng's pained pale little face, beads of sweat were spreading. Gently took the Jinpa to wipe her sweat. asked, "Why does it hurt like this, doesn't it mean that Aoi Water doesn't hurt?" ”

Mao Lingfeng was silent, she didn't know how to answer, recalling that humiliating and painful night, tears flashed in Qiu Shui's bright eyes, rolling down.

As soon as Sima Shun saw Mao Lingfeng's appearance, he knew that he had touched her sadness. couldn't help but be at a loss, and said continuously: "Feng'er doesn't want to say, I don't ask, it's all my fault, I shouldn't ask this." After speaking, he hurriedly wiped away the tears on the woman's face. Hold her to your chest and gently stroke her back.

Mao Lingfeng's voice choked, "It's not about the prince, it's my own decision, I don't regret the choice that night." Even if I had to re-elect now, I would still make that choice. I can only blame me for not knowing people clearly, which leads to bitter fruit. After speaking, he raised his head and said, "The prince wants to know the reason, then I will tell you." ”

"Feng'er, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, I won't ask in the future." Sima Shun looked distressedly at the pear blossom with rain face of the woman in his arms.

"No, I'll tell you, I'll tell you all." Mao Lingfeng wiped away his tears, calmed down, and slowly told what happened on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year in Shicheng. At the end, he said: "The first time I saw him, I looked a little strange, I didn't want to keep him in the barracks, but later I saw him in the barracks. Unexpectedly, in the battle of Shicheng, I used a secret method to forcibly improve my internal strength. His internal organs were severely damaged, and he came to see him twice a day, but he never found any clues. But he didn't know that his mind was so dirty, and he secretly provoked the two of them to ask Zhishu and Zhihua to go out. I'm left alone at home. Subjected to his calculations. Fortunately, my sister gave me a silver bracelet to save it. But she fell into the root of the disease, and it was difficult to get pregnant for life. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd be dead a long time ago. After speaking, his face was gloomy.

Sima Shun looked at the woman's gloomy expression, and his heart ached, he could imagine how painful it was to soak in cold water all night at the time of this cold winter wax moon with a weak body and an injured body. Even strong men find it difficult to persevere.
