"No, it's a lifetime of invincible, two trees into a stun, a solo dance, and enjoy all the loneliness in life."

Mu Ruoying and Chu Lingran sat in the hall, Chu Lingran was in the top position, sitting in the forefront, and should have sat in the first column, but he had always been easy-going and respectful, so that those old ministers who were in high positions but did nothing sat in the third column and respectfully saluted all the ministers who came and went, without raising the shelf of their own heroes, and regarded themselves as juniors, so they were not humble.

Mu Ruoying propped her head and lowered her eyes, not looking at Chu Lingran, the two had not looked at each other since they sat in this hall, and they were not like ordinary official ladies, their eyes were on Chu Lingran's beautiful and handsome face. Mu Ruoying repeatedly thought about Chu Lingran's sad smile when he thought about the sentence "Two trees become stunned, and one person dances alone", he looked at the moonlight, as if he had seen all the joys and sorrows in the world. You have tasted all the grief before you can judge your life like this.

Chu Lingran was dealing with those old ministers and talked endlessly about how he led the army to fight a bloody road when he was on the battlefield with the first emperor, and all the words complimented the young man's promising officialdom. Chu Lingran listened to those words that he had long been tired of, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at the woman who was dressed in red, with low eyebrows and pride.

"Oh? Is it? I think it's nothing, born to be destined to be a person, loneliness is sometimes not a good thing, I'm afraid because I was not lonely when I was born, and then I tasted the sweetness, but God made a joke with you, so that you can taste the sweetness so that you can better appreciate the bitterness of life. ”

Chu Lingran recalled that the woman's solitary habitat under the eaves porch had a stronger despair than him, and a temperament that was colder than the moonlight. He originally thought that Mu Ruoying would be bullied in the mansion at most, so that she would not be burdened with such heavy pain, but now it seems that this woman has made him feel a little more pity and curiosity, what kind of sixteen years have made her as desperate as this bloodthirsty person on the battlefield.

Mu Ruoying may have felt the gaze of not looking at herself, or just wanted to look at Chu Lingran's eyebrows, Mu Ruoying raised her lowered eyes, met the equally bottomless gaze, and found that Chu Lingran was also looking at herself. Mu Ruoying felt an unprecedented exploration, as if she was about to see through herself, so she dodged Chu Lingran's gaze, her face had a vague flush, and she didn't look like the previous one, she was pretty and beautiful. Mu Ruoying thought to herself, she was so invincible, this peach blossom was drunk and her cheeks turned red when she smelled it?

Chu Lingran seemed to notice Mu Ruoying's changes, and was stunned for a moment before he suddenly laughed, and his clear and cheerful laughter attracted the guests to look at Chu Lingran one after another, wanting to find out, what caused him to be so happy about this elegant and graceful general?

"Why, general?"

Several old ministers who had interacted with him thought that they had said some ridiculous tactics that had provoked the young general to make such a mockery, so they couldn't help but put up the old man's shelf and wanted a reasonable explanation.

"Sir, don't get me wrong, it's just that Chu occasionally looked out the window and kept a brown cat, dragging his fat body up the tree, but was blown to the ground by a casual spring breeze, which made Chu rude to this point, this cat that danced with his teeth and scratched it, but it is not cute, hahahahaha."

Mu Ruoying had a clear feeling, Chu Lingran looked at herself and said the absurd but mocking joke. lowered her head even lower, how could Mu Ruoying not understand that the cat was talking about herself? It's just that under Chu Lingran's nice and handsome voice, even the "stupid cat" made Mu Ruoying feel worthy of pity, and Mu Ruoying decided from the bottom of her heart that Chu Lingran was mocking herself.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the fifth year of our country, and the glory still exists, and when the time comes, I hope to celebrate with the people, and it is a great feast, and the people of the whole country can enjoy the prosperity of the world under my governance."

Unconsciously, the banquet has kicked off, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are secretly in their hearts, everyone understands the purpose of the emperor's celebration, the so-called let the people understand the prosperity of the country, Mu Ruoying thought, the only thing the people can understand is that the emperor who sits on the dragon chair and does not know the suffering of the people, how extravagant it is. But they don't know that the emperor's strategy is deeper in that he wants to show off what the current dynasty is like other countries, although it has experienced disintegration, now it is prosperous and peaceful, and the country is strong. And while he was jealous of Mu Jinghong's power, he tested Chu Lingran's military power and loyalty. Now it seems that the current emperor is not mediocre, but for the sake of the cold dragon chair and the supreme power, he can sacrifice the people of the world to accompany him.

Mu Ruoying sneered, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military affairs have their own hearts, Mu Jinghong will never submit to the new emperor like this, although Chu Lingran has not expressed anything now, but the real terrible thing should be his strategy and bravery, as for the forces of the new dynasty and the old dynasty, no one can say whose heart belongs to whom after the change, it is just another battlefield without blood.

"My Emperor is Mighty"

"Slow, Yingguo is late, I hope the emperor will forgive you."

Just as everyone stood up and was about to raise their glasses and start singing, dancing and feasting, there was an arrogant interruption from another country in front of the hall. Although it is impossible to find out the rudeness in the words, a small country that has been established as a country for less than ten years in the far south, before coming, the envoy walked in front of the emperor, did not bow at all, and looked up at the emperor without saying a word. The atmosphere has been somewhat solidified here, the reason why Yingguo can be so rude is also because the frontier is not peaceful, if the two countries really fight, not to mention the lives of the people in the frontier, then the small tribes that are pacified will also rise up, and the He dynasty must not be attacked by the enemy. There is no second Chu Lingran in a country, who can chase the Central Plains, and when he heard his name thousands of miles away, he raised his flag and withdrew his troops.

"I was originally an envoy of Yingguo, why didn't I kneel to my country's son of heaven.

Mu Jinghong took the lead in speaking, in fact, he should not care whether the new emperor's face is swept away or not, but in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, such a stalemate will refute the face of the Central Plains power, Mu Jinghong's tone is quite not angry and arrogant*. When the rest of the ministers heard Mu Jinghong's remarks, they also echoed with peace of mind.

"Yes, a small country is so rude."

"Even if it is a country that has been converted, let it prostrate and prostrate three times and bow nine times."

Some of the old ministers were excited, so they stood up and accused. The whole hall was a lot more lively because of the uninvited guest of Yingguo, not as good as the old-fashioned etiquette when the celebration did not start just now, only Mu Ruoying and Chu Lingran looked at the envoy of Yingguo who stood proudly in front of the emperor with great interest, waiting for his next sentence.

"Don't be dry, although Yingguo is a small country of fish and rice, it has always admired the martial arts of the Central Plains, and I have heard that the Central Plains people are shrewd and calculating. Yingguo brought two questions as a gift, if so many capable courtiers in the court today answered, I will go back to Zhou to tell the people of Yingguo, the He dynasty can come out one after another. ”

The voice of the envoys of Yingguo is not loud, but it is firm and powerful, filling the entire court, which means that if the question he gave is not answered today, then the whole country of Yingguo will know that the Central Plains is a place full of cowards and fools, and they will not express any intention of submission. The whole dynasty knew that it was in a dilemma at this time, and in the spirit of a great power*, if there was no war, I am afraid that the world would be a little more difficult to hear than if it lost today.

"Let's try. All Aiqing can give it a try, if you can answer, I will be rewarded."

The emperor opened this mouth first, and everyone had to reluctantly agree. Knowing that the other party was prepared, he is just passive now. And the emperor said that he would be rewarded heavily, but the second half of the sentence should not be answered, which is a big crime of losing the face of a big country.

"Well, it really has the majesty of a great country, and it is not afraid of any challenge. The first question is the duel of strength, there is a strong man in my country, who has been burly and huge since he was a child, and his strength is unparalleled, and on the battlefield, he can tear people apart alive. I've heard that the generals of your country are also brave, why don't you come out and compare? ”

"This question is simple, we have General Chu. How can you lose? General Chu was without a sword on the battlefield, but he made the enemy fearful. ”

"Hahaha, we will definitely win this question, so let's not let the envoy of Yingguo lose face.

The emperor listened to the courtiers' echo, and the dragon heart was happy, and quickly agreed to the military agreement of the envoy of Yingguo, and the sons and wives of the courtiers of the whole palace moved to the martial arts field to see the so-called strong men of Yingguo. Mu Ruoying looked at Chu Lingran's expression, from the arrival of the messenger to the present, she has been pushed to the forefront, without the slightest fluctuation, calm as an audience who is out of the way. Maybe he was confident to the extreme, but what Mu Ruoying was thinking in his heart was that who in this world didn't know that there was a Chu Lingran in the Central Plains, if he was not completely prepared, who would come to ask for his life?

Mu Ruoying was worried about the huge figure not far away, how could the man be described as burly and huge? He was born like a freak, and the height of the weeping willow was strangely high, and his muscles stood in front of everyone's eyes like a firewood bear. Mu Ruoying felt that he could throw Chu Lingran from the palace to the outside of the capital. Chu Lingran looked at the burly and huge strong man, still without the slightest sense of panic, but a few more times, maybe this is a general's thirst for an opponent.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were so frightened that they couldn't say a word, they looked at Chu Lingran only to the waist of the strong man, fighting like this, Chu Lingran also automatically asked Ying not to wear a weapon, it seemed that the victory or defeat was established, even if it was the king of Yama on the battlefield, who could compete with a giant bear?

"Please advise."

Chu Lingran jumped onto the fighting platform in one step, gentle and polite, like a scholar, he didn't have the slightest worry about his victory, just looked at the opponent quietly, his eyes were firm, just like the reputation won on horseback thousands of times, Chu Lingran never cared if he won or lost, he only knew that he had never lost.

"I'm really afraid that I'll hurt such a good-looking handsome face, you see, the ladies in the audience are all looking at you and showing reluctance?"

The provocation in the strong man's tone, the greasy tone of his voice and the rogue look in his eyes looking at the family shows in the capital really made people feel sick. Mu Ruoying didn't show any nostalgia for Chu Lingran, she just looked at the Douwu platform, waiting for the victory, but when the monster's eyes stopped on her, she still felt the disgust in her heart.

"Oh, I thought that the Central Plains woman was just like that, nothing fun. Now it seems that the red-clothed one is worth playing with. Emperor, if I win, I want her. ”

The monster pointed at Mu Ruoying in the audience, and the greed in his eyes seemed to see through Mu Ruoying's clothes, but after all, it was the second miss of the Mu family, how could she be treated as a plaything and bet. The old ministers in the audience were all angry, and they contradicted Mu Jinghong's thin face, and even the emperor frowned, but he didn't say anything.

Mu Jingfei heard the monster's interest in Mu Ruoying, thinking that Chu Lingran would definitely lose in this competition, and if she could still gamble on Mu Ruoying, she could vent the hatred in her heart. He stood up and saluted like the emperor and the envoy of Yingguo, and his tone was tactful and reluctant.

"Your Majesty, by all means. My Mu family has been the country for generations, although it is not too much to make any sacrifices for the face of the He dynasty, but for Ruoying's sake, spare her. ”

Others may sound like a good sister who has a fake sister and disregards the family's face, but only Mu Ruoying knows that it is Mu Jingfei's revenge on herself, if she does not allow this bet at this moment, the reputation of the three generations of Mu Mansion will be written off with the past, how can her father be willing, if she wants to stand on her own in the future, how can she deal with herself?

Mu Ruoying sneered and said nothing, and glanced at Chu Lingran, who was also looking at himself at this moment, and his scheming suddenly became a little more determined. That man, will definitely win.

"Although Ruoying is a daughter, there is no hesitation when my Mu family dedicates herself to the country, if I retire today, Ruoying will not be able to be the name of Mu, Ruoying is willing to be a bargaining chip. I am a great country, chasing thousands of miles of enemies, and accepting the worship of all peoples, will I be afraid of a challenge? ”

No one thought that Mu Ruoying would say such a thing, thinking that she would definitely kneel and cry and beg the emperor not to take her as a bet, besides, this is still a bet that will definitely lose?

"What a good daughter, Mu Xiang, raised a good daughter."

The emperor is happy that he doesn't have to be in a dilemma, Mu Ruoying's words also preserved his last majesty, even if he lost the game in the end, outsiders would not blame and abuse him. Mu Ruoying really solved a thorny problem for him.

The competition began, and the monster pounced on Chu Lingran violently, hoping to crush Chu Lingran to the ground, and solved the battle with a few punches, but unfortunately Chu Lingran just jumped easily, and crossed over the top of the strong man's head, and poked his two fingers at the five joints of the back of the strong man's neck. The strong man seemed to be paralyzed with his hands, unable to exert his strength, and his hands pendulum on his body as if they were dislocated, but he did not feel a trace of pain. He screamed frantically and rushed towards Chu Lingran faster, Chu Lingran dodged sideways, slipped out of the gap in the monster's shoulder, and pressed another acupuncture point on the four inches of the shoulder vertebrae. I saw that as soon as the man wanted to turn his head and rush towards Chu Lingran, he fell straight down on the fighting platform, and only the one left on Zhou's body could barely move, and the roar filled the entire fighting martial arts arena. Everyone thought that Chu Lingran would stop if he won, and walked down the martial arts arena to receive the merit, but he squatted down, looked at the woman who had never doubted that he would lose from his martial arts to now, and said in a very small ruthless voice: "You are wrong, you shouldn't use her as a bargaining chip." ”

Before the strong man could react to what was going on, Chu Lingran pierced his throat with a finger, and immediately blood splattered, and the audience was full of uproar.

Chu Lingran got out of the martial arts arena, and should have asked the emperor for instructions along the other side, but he looked at Mu Ruoying first, and in front of everyone, he said a soft voice in Mu Ruoying's ear, but he teased Mu Ruoying's heart.

"You deserve him, it's not worth it. What you want to promise should also be a hero in the world, right? ”
