Chapter 70, the Song envoy came to Chu

After Xiong Ran enshrined Miao Miao as a son-in-law, and then experienced the horse race in the racecourse, Yingdu finally ushered in a short period of tranquility, and even Zhai Zhuang, the little overlord of Yingdu, who had always been restless, did not come out to harm Yingdu.

Behind the tranquility, a new round of storm is naturally brewing, and the reckless idiot from Pakistan and the little overlord Zhai Zhuang of Yingdu will usher in the peak battle of the younger generation.

Xiong Ran has been building momentum for Jiang Jue, and even Yingdu rumored that the winning side will be worshiped by Xiong Ran as a general.

Not only Yingdu, but even not just Chu State, the news that the two young generals are about to compete in Yingdu has spread, and those who have good deeds naturally rushed to hear the news.

A full month after the horse race at the Royal Racecourse, Ren Chen basically recovered and personally visited Jiang Jue at Miao Sheng's mansion. He and Jiang Jue have no grievances, and even some admire this young general, but he is an idiot.

"Little general, the king means that you will have to compete with Zhai Zhuang in three days, no matter whether you win or lose, the king will naturally give marriage to the little general," said the little general, "Of course, the little general will try to win, so it will look better." ”

Jiang Jue asked Yu Chen suspiciously: "What kind of competition?" Who is Zhai Zhuang? ”

He didn't know how to answer, and this idiot was sometimes ridiculous, so he had to take his leave.

Zhai Zhuang has never appeared in Yingdu, as if he has completely disappeared. After those noble sons of Yingdu tried it, they found that Zhai Zhuang was no longer rampant in Yingdu, so they started a carnival again.

Miao Sheng's mansion was cold and clear, and almost no one came except for the occasional Mu'er conveying Xiong Ran's meaning. However, Jiang Jue knew that there were no less than 100 Xiong Ran Eagle Dogs hidden within a mile radius of Miao Sheng's Mansion, and they were all second-grade masters with good strength but poor reputation.

"Those people are the Praetorian Guards," Miao Sheng said, "they are a bunch of crazy people who only obey Xiong Ran's orders." ”

The Lu family, who pretended to be Jiang Jue's mother, didn't come much, and he came in a hurry once in a while. Jiang Jue either locked himself in the house to read books and etiquette, or practiced swords in the courtyard. As for how to escape from Yingdu, he has no eyebrows at all, even if Miao Sheng swears that he will do his best to protect Jiang Jue from the city, he can only say sorry now.

So the time came to the day of the battle, and early in the morning, Xiong Ran sent someone to lead Jiang Jue, Miao Sheng and Miao Miao to the martial arts field.

The martial arts field is in the outer city, covering a huge area, and it is the place where the Yingdu guards are stationed on weekdays, and today it is specially vacated for the two to compete, after all, there are too many spectators from all directions, and only the martial arts field can accommodate it.

Jiang Jue entered the arena with Du Ruo's sword, he looked at the excited heads in the martial arts field and suddenly felt a little sad, feeling like a hairless dog in a cage.

Zhai Zhuang, who hadn't appeared for a long time, came out with the overlord gun, his eyes were like torches, and there was a strong war intent in his eyes. He had waited too long for this battle.

Jiang Jue knew that he couldn't get rid of the fate of being controlled by Xiong Ran no matter what, and Miao Sheng's entrustment made him change his mind, and in this battle, he was only allowed to win but not lose.

He was in charge of the martial arts competition, and when he saw that all the people who were supposed to come had come, and the two young generals had also entered, he asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to start?"

"Don't worry," Xiong Ran said, "there are still distinguished guests on the way." ”

Jiang Jue stood on the west side of the martial arts field with a sword, and Zhai Zhuang stood on the east side of the martial arts field with a gun, and the two were separated by more than a hundred steps.

He had to wait patiently, he was a little curious about what other distinguished guests? After all, the nobles of Yingdu and the merchants and scholars who could come from the Chu State all came.

At the north gate of Yingdu, Zou Gu came by car, accompanied by a muse.

Zou Gu looked at the majestic Yingdu and said: "Only Yingdu can compare with Luoyi, and only Chu can compare with Song State."

The muse didn't say a word, this was the first time he came to the Chu State.

"There is no one in the Chu State who can compete with General Miao." Zou Gu said with a smile.

"Mr. Zou, I can't break through the defense of the man, "he can take Jiang Hou dozens of moves without losing the wind, I can't do it." I'm going to be inferior to him. ”

"General Miao is modest again," said Zou Gu, "and young people should be high-spirited, always cold and somewhat impersonal. ”

The Song envoys entered the Yingdu, one was the Great Song Dynasty Situ, Luoyi Xuegong Sacrificial Wine, the first saint in the world, Confucianism and the two saints Zou Gu, and the other was the third of the Great Song Dynasty hundred generals, the son of the martial saint Miao Ku, and the muse of the descendant of Jianling.

"Master Mu, Mr. Zou is not just here to see this competition." Xiong Ran said with a smile.

"Your Majesty knows." Muer said with a solemn face. Back then, he was ashamed of himself when he talked to Zou Gu in Luoyi School Palace, but now Yingdu is his home field, and he wants to talk to Zou Gu again.

Ren Chen was shocked, it turned out that Xiong Ran was waiting for Zou Gu.

Xiong Ran said to Borchen again: "The muse who has become famous over the years is also here, you should recognize it, can you be sure?"

He replied confidently, "No one under the Martial Saint can defeat me."

He is not empty-mouthed, what he is best at is the way of defense, although the attack is lacking, but the defense is indeed impenetrable, not to say that it is the muse, that is, the muse's old father Miao is resurrected, and he dares to ensure that he will not fall behind in a hundred moves.

Li Chen only said that no one under the martial saint could defeat him, and there was no guarantee that he could win, the answer was decent, Xiong Ran did not speak, the state of Chu lacked a martial saint who could sit in the army and shock the world.

Not long after, someone led the Song envoy to come, Xiong Ran led Qiaoyu, Muer, Miao Sheng and Ren Chen to greet each other in person, after all, there was a good marriage between Chu and Song.

"Mr. Zou came from afar, please forgive me for missing the welcome." Xiong Ran said.

Zou Gu arched his hand and said: "The king of Chu has all the opportunities, Gu is an idler, where do you need to greet him."

Xiong Ran looked at the muse behind Zou Gu and asked, "Presumably this is the famous muse general." ”

The muse nodded, and Zou Gu replied: "Please forgive the king of Chu, the muse has always been like this, even in front of the king of Song." ”

"Let's get started." Xiong Ran commanded.

Zou Gu said: "Wait, my junior brother is behind, don't worry." If the king of Chu finds it boring, he can let the muse dance the sword to add to the fun. ”

The muse glanced at the man deeply, then jumped off the martial arts field and said to Jiang Jue: "It's interesting, the idiot was able to come this far. ”

Jiang Jue looked at the muse in front of him seriously, the first time they met was in the Taoli School in the west of the fang, whether the muse was holding the sword that looked like a sharp sword and a broadsword, and a sword split the peach and plum stone with a sword or as Junyi said, a sword flew to split the peach and plum stone Jiang Jue couldn't remember clearly, but it was true that the peach and plum stone was split in half, and the muse's swordsmanship was treacherous and domineering.

After getting Xiong Ran's permission, he jumped into the martial arts field to stand opposite to the muse, one was ranked in the four expeditions and four towns of the Chu State, and the other was ranked third among the hundred generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

Jiang Jue whispered: "General Borage, I am optimistic about you. ”

After saying that, Jiang Jue withdrew from the martial arts, since this was a dispute between Song and Chu, he had to retreat, after all, this was not his chessboard.

On one side, Zhai Zhuang's face was gloomy, obviously it was his own famous battle, but the two of Muse and Borcan stole the limelight, he carried a gun and left the martial arts field without saying a word, and his mind was naturally only known to him.

"Apprentice, do you remember to be a teacher?" Zou Gu beckoned Jiang Jue over.

Jiang Jue and Zou Gu looked at each other, how could he not remember this Mr. Zou who taught him the art of vertical and horizontal, how could he forget Mr. Zou who gave him a thin horse, and how could he dare not remember what Junyi said about going to the Luoyi School Palace on the other side of the mountain to discuss with the sage?

"Hello Mr. Zou," Jiang Jue replied loudly, "Mr. Zou can confiscate me as a vain." ”

Xiong Ran looked at Jiang Jue again, how could he have the slightest idiot. He couldn't help but think of the last time he went to Miao Sheng's mansion, he saw Jiang Jue reading scriptures.

Zou Gu smiled: "I teach you the truth, and you also call me sir, how can you not be my apprentice?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Dali Mission has arrived." Someone came to report.

"It's rare for Gu and his junior brother to get together today," Zou Gu said, "I'll go with Jue to greet him." ”

Xiong Ran agreed to Zou Gu's request, and Muse and Borchen were naturally not in a hurry to fight, after all, the spectators had not yet arrived.

"I didn't expect this bait to be so tempting and interesting," Xiong Ran asked, "Mushi, how long does Jiang Hou have to travel?" ”

Xiong Ran is like a seasoned angler, after hanging the bait and throwing the rod, he waited for two months without hurry, and finally waited for the big fish, and there was more than one. I thought that he would be satisfied if he could catch one bait in his hand, but who knew that this bait that was not favored gave him a surprise.

"I received the news early in the morning, I was fifty miles away from Yingdu last night, and it must be soon." Mul replied.

"Master Mu, Lone won the bet again," Xiong Ran said with a smile, "He's not just not an idiot, he's also a good person." ”

Xiong Ran is like a calculating gambler, nine out of ten bets are lost, and the losses are all small money, as long as he wins, he will be full of money.

"The king is wise, but his subordinates have lost their eyes." Muer arched his hand and said.

"The carpenter is too modest, this time the carpenter deliberately gambled and lost, Lone naturally knows in his heart, whoever you are in the apprentice's picture mentions, Lone will naturally count." Xiong Ran said.

Mul secretly rejoiced in his heart, sometimes regression is a win, such as now.

"What does the carpenter think of the chances of the retain?" Xiong Ran looked at the two people in the field and asked, "It's better to make another bet with the wood master, just bet on the chances of the two of them, and the wood master chooses first." ”

"General Borage has the courage of ten thousand people, and he naturally wins." Mul said.

"How has the Muse been doing in recent years?" Xiong Ran asked.

"Four of the 18 Houthi warriors died at his hands, and they fought against the Houthi king Weixiu again, but they were still defeated. Although he was only the third in the Great Song Dynasty, he was undoubtedly the first person under the martial saint to stand alone in the Song Kingdom. Mul said.

"Master Mu, this is deliberately letting Lone win," Xiong Ran said, "Lone bet that the two of them are tied." ”

Muer's heart is bitter, horses have stumbled, and people have missed. Although he had already said it according to Xiong Ran's wishes, this time he made a mistake, and he should have bet on Muse's victory. How could he not know the strength of the retainer? Although the record is not impressive, it will only lose and not die, as long as it is not, it is not a loss.
