Volume 1 The First Involvement in the Warring States Period Chapter 051 Sword Contest in Front of the Emperor

Lu Yu had the opportunity to see the king of a country in Wei.

This King of Wei was about forty years old, his face was full, but he was slightly pale with excessive wine, his body was fat, the crown was long and curved on his head, dozens of strings of pearls and jade strung with red threads hung down from the top to his forehead, and the royal robe was still mainly red, with stars, sun and moon and dragon patterns on it, showing his identity as a king.

The King of Wei had a single seat, and his concubines were scattered among the three seats behind him, one of whom was a teenage boy, and Lu Yu thought to himself that it was probably the crown prince of Wei.

After the palace ladies poured wine for the guests present, the King of Wei raised his glass and said: "Since the ancestors of the Great Wei Dynasty created hegemony and founded the country, they have been ahead of the princes of various countries in all aspects; Today's Great Wei is a gift from God and the ancestors, and all the ministers here have also contributed a lot. Come, a glass of toast to the public! ”

Everyone stood and shouted together, raising their glasses to King Wei and raising their heads to drink.

Lu Yu secretly thought that this was the style of the king.

After the king of Wei motioned for everyone to sit down and eat the dishes, he said, "Play music." ”

The musicians on both sides rang the chimes again. When the sheng music sounded, I saw dozens of graceful singers floating in, all wearing translucent red gowns, combing swallowtail-shaped buns, like fairies descending to earth, dancing figures looming in the translucent gowns, teaching people to look fascinated.

Ximen Hou said in Lu Yu's ear: "Brother Lu, don't think that this is the beauty of the country, the Yan girl who will appear later is even more itchy." ”

Lu Yu was disdainful, looking at Ximen Hou's appearance, as if he was waiting for the competition with the Yan people to win, and he didn't care about it at all. However, beauty is indeed invigorating for men, and eye-catching is also a way to live forever.

After the song, all the singers retreated, and everyone was still unsatisfied, indulging in the snow peak jade legs just now.

King Wei said again: "Where are the envoys of the Yan Kingdom? ”

The four people in the front and back seats below Long Yangjun stood at the same time and shouted: "King Wei Wanfu!" ”

Lu Yu looked over and saw that the two people in front were wearing blue dark clothes and were thin, while the two people in the back were wearing samurai uniforms, and they couldn't see their appearance clearly because of the distance.

King Wei said: "Yan Wang Xi Paier and others borrowed troops from my Great Wei, where is the sincerity?" ”

One of them in front clapped his palms, and saw nearly a hundred beautiful women walking through the door, slowly walking into the main hall. Compared with the group of singers just now, the clothes of these nearly 100 beauties are more open, and in addition to the translucent gowns, all of them are hot, which makes people reverie, and sure enough, as Ximen Hou said, the beauty of this Yan girl is indeed not on the same level as the singer just now.

The envoys of the Yan Kingdom clapped their hands again, and the beauties danced with the ringing of the chime. But compared to modern dance, similar to hot pole dancing and the like, these beautiful women's dances are not enough to be called hot; However, in the Warring States period 2,000 years ago, Lile was only in the court, and it was a product of the royal family, and the common people could not enjoy such a beautiful scenery at all. Obviously, these beauties have undergone strict training, their dancing posture is unified, and they have constantly strengthened the amplitude of twisting their waists in some movements, so that the slender jade legs are exposed as much as possible, and the twin peaks like the bright moon are about to come out in the beating.

For a while, as long as there were men in the hall, their eyes were about to fall with the beating of the Yan Nu, if it were not for the music, the sound of the men's saliva and heartbeat would definitely compose a new melody.

When all the guests were intoxicated by the graceful posture of this group of swallow girls, they suddenly heard two very incongruous applause, and the dancing of the girls stopped when they heard it, and Ying Ying retreated. All the guests were forced to return to reality from the milk forest and beautiful legs, and in addition to the dissatisfaction on every face, many people's eyes still stayed at the temple gate in the direction of those swallow girls retreating, as if they would reappear from there at any time.

I only heard King Wei say: "These Yan girls are indeed the best in the world." Then he said to the envoy of the Yan Kingdom: "Quickly pass the warriors sent by your king to the palace, so that this king can see how powerful the warriors of the Yan Kingdom are." ”

The envoys of the Yan State said that ten warriors walked into the main hall with their heads held high. At a glance, these ten people knew that after some selection, all of them were burly and tiger-backed. Because there was a rule that no weapons were allowed to enter the temple, so all ten people walked empty-handed.

After arriving at the center of the temple, the ten people stood with their chests straight, and their faces were all very proud. When the envoy of the Yan State high-fived again, the ten people knelt down on one knee and asked the King of Wei to say goodbye.

Although I don't know if the swordsmanship of these ten samurai is powerful, judging from their consistent steps and movements, they look like soldiers more than samurai.

The envoy of Yan State said: "In addition to the hundred singers and ten swordsmen, in order to show sincerity, the king of my family specially ordered the villain to present ten boxes of thousand-year-old ginseng and ten night pearls of the Beihai Sea to King Wei, and asked King Wei to accept it with a smile." ”

The other man next to him held two brocade boxes in his hands, bowed his waist and knelt down in the center of the temple. At the signal of King Wei, the two eunuchs slowly walked to the center of the hall, and after inspecting the contents of the box, they held the brocade box to the king's seat and knelt down and held it high.

King Wei just glanced at it, and then motioned to the eunuch to put away the person's participation in the Night Pearl, and seemed unmoved. Then he said: "I am a great Wei Wuhua Tianbao, and there are not a few beautiful swordsmen, just a few ginseng and a few night pearls seem to be not enough to show the sincerity of your king." ”

The envoy of Yan State said: "If the King of Wei is willing to borrow 100,000 elite soldiers, my Yan State will immediately offer a city, and the villain is more willing to stay in Wei as a hostage to show his sincerity." ”

Xin Lingjun sneered and said, "King Yan's wishful thinking is really loud, but are you Tianshan a tiger made of paper?" ”

The envoy of Yan said: "Reply to Ling Jun: No matter how powerful Tian Dan is, he is still a mortal, as long as he is a mortal, he must have weaknesses to find." As long as its weaknesses are overcome, I am afraid that it will not become a thing in the bag. ”

King Wei smiled: "The tone is really big. What's your name? ”

The envoy of the Yan Kingdom replied respectfully: "The villain is a drama scale." ”

When Lu Yu heard this name, he immediately felt a little familiar. Sure enough, I heard King Wei say again: "Who are you?" ”

The drama scales said: "It's my father." ”

Lu Yu suddenly realized, it turned out that it was because of this drama Xin Naiyan, a famous general of the Yan Kingdom, who was originally from the Zhao State, and became a general after the Dune Palace changed. It is precisely because of the drama that the national strength of Yan Kingdom has gradually become stronger.

Yan Guo once defeated the Qi State in only six months, and won more than 70 cities of the Qi State, and the drama was indispensable. The reason why Lu Yu felt familiar when the envoy of the Yan Kingdom reported his name just now was precisely because he had read an article or information about the Yan Kingdom somewhere.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh secretly, whether the people he met in this era were all historical celebrities or had something to do with them casually.

King Wei said: "No wonder you are full of confidence, you don't seem to put Qi Guo in your eyes, it turns out that you are the son of Ju Xin." But whether his real ability can be compared to him is another matter. ”

After that, his eyes looked around the main hall for a week, and finally fell on the scales of the drama, and Zhengse said: "After discussing with the widows and the people, it was decided to borrow troops from the Yan State, and our army will fully assist the Yan Army. ”

The four of them were overjoyed, and they knelt down to thank him. Then all the guests also knelt down and shouted: "The king is wise! ”

When Lu Yu knelt down with everyone, he already hated this kind of etiquette of kneeling and chanting at every turn, and he had to kneel several times when he had a meal, thinking that it would be nice if it was replaced by applause.

King Wei said: "Everyone in the world today says that in today's world, the essence of swordsmanship is none other than Qilu, and my Great Wei Longyang Jun is also famous. When he said this, his eyes stopped on Long Yangjun, and he saw Long Yangjun throw a "flattering look" at King Wei in public, which made Lu Yu feel pimples all over his body.

Although the relationship between Long Yangjun and King An Yi is not a secret, perhaps the same-sex atmosphere is not an uncommon thing in this era, but in this public eye, openly "showing affection" is a disgusting behavior in his opinion.

King Wei continued: "Although I don't boast of being the first in the world like the Qi people, the widows don't think that my Great Wei swordsmen are inferior. The widow has a proposal, my Great Wei will send swordsmen to learn swordsmanship with you ten warriors, what do you think? ”

All the guests were waiting for this moment to come, and of course they applauded in unison.

The atmosphere began to be lively again.

Sure enough, King Wei immediately shouted: "Where is Jiaolongxia Lu Yu?" ”

Lu Yu is also thinking that this moment has finally come, and he doesn't know if he will easily win the jackpot as he imagined. At that moment, he hurriedly stood up and walked to the hall to kneel and salute, and responded in a loud voice: "Villain Lu Yu, meet the king." ”

King Wei said: "You are involved in the matter of the son-in-law, and you should be questioned, but Princess Mingji and Xinlingjun are both vouching for you, so the widow will believe it." He added, "You single-handedly resisted three hundred bandits, so that Princess Mingji returned to Wei safely, and there was a lot of reward for this matter." ”

Lu Yu thanked King Wei loudly.

King Wei said again: "The name of Jiaolongxia is now known to everyone, which makes the widow very curious, and he has always wanted to see if you are as powerful as the legend. The widow now announces, tonight's sword competition in front of the emperor, the first match will be played by you against the swordsman of Yan Kingdom, do you have any objections? ”

Lu Yu replied in a confident voice: "The king has a life, and the villain will do his best to never disappoint the king." ”

King Wei nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! If you win the contest, the widow will reward you again. After that, he said to the drama scales: "The swordsmen of the Yan Kingdom are up to you to decide the order of play." ”

The drama scale arched his hand and said: "King Wei, although the villain has only arrived in Daliang for three days, he has also heard about the deeds of Jiaolongxia, and it is said that his swordsmanship is very powerful. The traditional one-on-one sword competition believes that King Wei and all the adults present are used to it, so the villain proposed that if the King of Wei is favorable, it is better for the villain to choose two out of ten swordsmen to fight against Jiaolongxia, so I believe that it will be more exciting, and it can also open the eyes of everyone present. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the guests present were immediately in an uproar. Lu Yu secretly scolded in his heart that this drama scale was so shameless, and he knew his own business, and the chance of winning one-on-one might be relatively large, if it was one against two, he might be difficult to parry with limited swordsmanship and lack of experience in the match. When he looked up at Xinlingjun, he saw that he nodded to himself secretly, and couldn't help but greet his ancestors for several generations in his heart.
