Volume 2 Wei State Chapter 029 The Sword of Longyang
"Good!" After Long Yangjun shouted, the guests present applauded again.
If Lu Yu is heavy-handed, Mu Chuan and Mu He will have at least one blood-spattered hall. But because Mu He saw Mu Chuan shouting "big brother" at the moment of life and death just now, Lu Yu, who had just reunited with his brother, had a hidden heart. If that sword ends Mu Chuan, Mu He will fight hard with himself, and his current physical strength is not suitable for entangled with Mu He for a long time; In addition, Lu Yu and the two of them have no grudges and no grudges, and people who are not used to killing people make it impossible for him to solve these two people ruthlessly; Moreover, the King of Wei did not explicitly order himself to kill them, these ten warriors were originally given to the King of Wei by the Yan Kingdom as a gift, if they could spare their lives, they would be able to retreat with their whole body, and they would be able to show their "brilliant swordsmanship", and maybe the King of Wei would look at him differently.
Another reason is that Lu Yu's sword practice days are still shallow, less than one percent of Guiguzi.
As the person concerned, how could Mu Chuan and Muhe not know that Lu Yu showed mercy to them?
When Lu Yu turned around, Mu He also turned around at the same time and nodded to Lu Yu to show his gratitude. At this time, Mu Chuan also stood up from the ground.
"Bell!" Mu He threw away the sword in his hand and knelt down with a "plop" in front of King Wei, and Mu Chuan also knelt down when he saw the situation. Mu Hedao: "Jiaolongxia really lives up to his reputation, Yan people Mu Chuan and Mu He's skills are not as good as others, and they are convinced!" ”
King Wei had a slight displeasure on his face, but he heard Ling Jun get up and say: "Lu Yu convinces people with sword virtue, which is enough to prove that my Great Wei's enlightened and non-barbaric land can be compared, and this sword competition is really exciting!" ”
As soon as Xin Lingjun's words fell, Long Yangjun said: "It is indeed wonderful, the soldiers won the competition without blood, and Lu Yu is really good at swordsmanship." More importantly, it is a great joy to win the hearts of the people, and it is indeed a great joy for Dawei to get this talent. ”
Xin Lingjun, Ximen Hou, and Lu Yu all looked at Long Yangjun together, obviously all three of them wondered why he agreed with what Xin Lingjun said.
A few people on the other side of the drama didn't have a good face, Lu Yu won not only Mu Chuan and Mu He, but in fact, it showed him the outstanding sword virtue and mind of the swordsman of the Wei State, and Xin Lingjun indirectly accused the Yan people of being barbarians, which was a great shame for anyone.
King Wei's face finally broke through the haze, and he laughed and said: "The widow also thinks that this competition is very exciting, and the two Aiqing rarely have the same opinion, good, good, good!" He shouted three times in a row, raised his glass and said to everyone: "The widow announced that in the first competition, my Great Wei won with one enemy and two enemies, and Zhong Aiqing drank a cup of him!" ”
The guests cheered in unison and raised their glasses.
King Wei said to Lu Yu again: "Lu Yu, you really live up to your reputation, not only did your swordsmanship not disappoint the widow, but your extraordinary mind made the widow even more admired." Whatever reward you want, open your mouth, and the widow will fulfill you. ”
Lu Yu was about to speak, but he only believed Lingjun and said, "King Qiqi: The younger brother has a proposal. ”
King Wei looked at Xinlingjun and said, "Xinlingjun, please speak." ”
Xinling Jun said: "Princess Mingji went to Handan in Zhao eight days later, Lu Yu's swordsmanship is outstanding, and the younger brother suggested that Lu Yu should escort him all the way, and then add the official position after returning to China, I don't know what the king wants?" ”
King Wei smiled: "Okay, this is a very good discussion." He looked at Lu Yu again and said, "Lu Yu listens to the order!" ”
Lu Yu thought to himself that Xinling Jun really did not lose his trust, and when he heard King Wei calling him, he hurriedly knelt down and said loudly: "The villain is here!" ”
King Wei Zhengse said: "The widow now temporarily appoints you as Zuo Zhonglang, and gives you a hundred taels of gold, and you will choose one of the hundred Yan girls as a reward." Eight days later, escort Princess Mingji to Handan, and when you return to Wei, the widow will reward you again. ”
Lu Yu hurriedly shouted thanks. Back in the middle of the banquet, Xin Lingjun happily patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "Lu Yu, you did a very good job, this result is even more exciting than killing them." ”
Ximen Hou said even more excitedly: "Brother Lu's swordsmanship is really powerful, several times suddenly changed his moves, such changes and ease of sending and receiving, the younger brother really admires it." ”
Lu Yu smiled and said to him: "Brother Ximen, I am smiling, in fact, the swordsmanship of these two Yan Kingdom warriors is not very good, and the swordsmanship of the younger brother is still lacking in fire, so he needs to practice diligently in the future." ”
Even Na Zhu Hai turned around and said, "Brother Lu's sword path is flexible and unpredictable, and if you encounter an enemy like you, it will be a very headache." ”
Lu Yu was busy and modest. This Zhu Hai is not familiar with himself, so far it is only the second time he has met, this gentleman does not seem to be good at talking, and it is not very consistent with the historical information that Lu Yu has seen, I don't know if the descendants exaggerate this person, or he does not take him Lu Yu as such a thing at all.
At this time, King Wei's voice sounded again: "In the second competition, who will you send to play?" ”
The drama scale was about to reply, and one of the Yan people dressed as a warrior behind him said a few words in his ear, only to see him frown and think for a while, and immediately said to King Wei: "Back to King Wei, this one will be fought by the villain's attendants." ”
The man was six feet tall, and as soon as he stood up, he faced King Wei and said, "Villain Batu, I implore the king to ask for permission to fight with Jiaolongxia." ”
Lu Yu almost didn't squirt out of his mouth with a sip of wine. It's really a big tree, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong.
King Wei said unhappily: "Bold! The first competition has been single-handedly defeated by Lu Yu against the two warriors of your Yan Kingdom, and now your Yan people are shameless, not only have many requirements, but also take advantage of the danger of others, are you not afraid that the widow will withdraw the order to borrow troops? ”
The drama scale hurriedly got up and explained: "King Wei is angry! Batu Nai saw Jiaolongxia's superb swordsmanship, and his heart was itchy, so he wanted to learn swordsmanship with him very much, and he had no other intentions, so he asked King Wei to investigate. ”
King Wei and King Xinling "snorted" in unison.
At this time, Long Yangjun suddenly spoke: "If this competition is not this one, this jun will accompany you." After saying that, he stood up, walked to the center of the hall with light steps, and said softly to King Wei: "The king, please order." ”
King Wei frowned and looked at him, as if he was a little "helpless", and told Long Yangjun to be careful, and then said: "In the second competition, my first swordsman of Great Wei, Long Yangjun, will fight against Ba..." ”
Everyone present immediately burst into laughter, and even Lu Yu was amused by King Wei.
Batu was humiliated in public, but because the other party was the king of a country in Wei, he had to suppress the anger in his heart and replied respectfully: "Villain Batu." ”
King Wei Zhengse said: "Batu, you can learn swordsmanship with Long Yangjun, I don't know how many years you have been cultivating, you have to learn it seriously!" Then he faced the heart of the temple and said in a loud voice: "The widow announces that the second competition will start now!" ”
Long Yangjun stood in the center of the hall like a statue, his eyes were closed, and he held the unsheathed sword behind his back in both hands, although he didn't make any movements, but it made people feel that there was an indestructible momentum, invisibly like a god descending from heaven, and that momentum had completely suppressed Nabatu.
Everyone present seemed to hold their breath, and it was as quiet as the sound of pins falling. Lu Yu was also moved, and it was this kind of momentum that he was not ready for. If you can give the opponent a sense of intimidation in the battle, make the opponent timid, or win half of the battle before the battle. Long Yangjun is indeed a real master. If Lu Yu fights against him, I am afraid that he will also be affected by his aura and play abnormally. This kind of momentum is completely different from his usual sissy, it seems that he has completely changed into another person, Long Yangjun at this time, full of manliness, no wonder he is deeply favored by King Wei, and the concubines do not have this kind of treatment.
Looking at Nabatu again, he couldn't hold his breath anymore, and his reflective forehead proved that he was sweating. I saw that the sword that he was originally pointing at slowly raised slowly, and with a shout, he attacked Long Yangjun.
Ten steps, nine steps, eight steps, Long Yangjun still closed his eyes in place. Everyone's hearts also tensed as the distance between Batu and Long Yangjun shortened. When there were only four or five steps left, Batu swung the sword in his hand, pulled a sword flower, bent his left foot forward, and stabbed the first sword. It seems to be a lunge straight stab, unremarkable, but the action is a little different, and it is quite fast. Seeing that the tip of the sword went straight to Long Yangjun's chest, he suddenly heard a "bell", and Long Yangjun's left hand actually flicked his fingers at the tip of the sword stabbed by Batu, and the sword had already deviated from the direction. Batu seemed to have expected this, and actually drew a semicircle diagonally down the strength of the sword, and then provoked it again by Long Yangjun's ribs. At this time, Long Yangjun had not yet opened his eyes, but as if he had seen it, when Batu's sword came, Long Yangjun had already turned around, and turned his back to him later.
"Khooth!" It turned out that the sword in Long Yangjun's hand was still standing behind his back, and this one turned around, and Batu's diagonal sword just hit his scabbard. I saw that Long Yangjun moved back under his feet, and Nabatu actually took a few steps back. Batu screamed violently, and stabbed three swords at the same time, stabbing Long Yang's throat, armpits, and waist respectively, but Long Yangjun was always one step ahead of the sword he stabbed, and still swung his sword away with his scabbard. In the blink of an eye, Batu has already used more than a dozen swords, starting from the first sword, Batu's swordsmanship has become unpredictable from mediocre to unpredictable, and the speed has also accelerated, compared to Mu Chuan and Mu He, Batu's swordsmanship is obviously more than one level higher, but he has not forced Long Yangjun's sword out of the sheath, which shows that Long Yangjun's swordsmanship is profound.
Lu Yu secretly thought that he was fortunate that he didn't have the opportunity to fight with Long Yangjun, otherwise he would definitely suffer under him.
Ximen Hou said in his ear: "Little brother bet that when Long Yangjun draws his sword, this Batu will definitely be defeated immediately." ”
Lu Yu also felt that what he said made sense, and at most, Batu's swordsmanship could only be tied with Ximen Hou and Jing Jie. When he thought of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh secretly, in his heart, he had already regarded himself as a master. In fact, with the current swordsmanship, it can indeed defeat Ximen Hou or Jing Jie, but it may also have to pay a little price.
At this time, the sword in Batu's hand had already used various sword moves such as pointing, stabbing, collapsing, picking, and wiping, and the front and back added up to nearly a hundred swords, and the sword in Long Yangjun's hand was not only unsheathed, but also did not even open half of his eyes! Every time Batu attacked with a sword, Long Yangjun either blocked it with his scabbard or dodged it, and it seemed that his whole body was full of eyes, making Batu completely unable to take advantage.
Batu's speed has begun to slow down, at first he changed from slow to fast, and gradually became more anxious under the momentum of Long Yang Jun, so he accelerated his speed to force Long Yang Jun to take out the sword, the more anxious, the more uncoordinated his luck is, in this kind of mentality and speed, it is intensifying the consumption of his physical strength, this is a taboo in swordsmanship, once the physical strength is exhausted, the next can only be slaughtered. Long Yangjun is like a cat and mouse, no matter how Batu's sword moves change, they are all in his grasp. Finally, when there were nearly two hundred swords, Long Yangjun saw the opportunity, slapped a palm on Batu's wrist, turned around elegantly, and the long sword in his hand was finally unsheathed, and in an instant, the white light flashed, and the sword was as flexible as long on Long Yangjun's arm, and everyone present widened their eyes, and they forgot to cheer for a while. When everyone wanted to see clearly with wide eyes, he put his sword back into the sheath and stood facing the King of Wei.
A sword fell to the ground, and it was Batuu's sword.
Batu remained where he was, his face as dead as ashes.
All the guests burst into cheers.
Batu's clothes were torn in six places, all of which were fatal. But Long Yangjun only cut his clothes, and did not kill him.
Lu Yu's heart was also extremely shocked, this was undoubtedly the fastest and most powerful swordsmanship Lu Yu had ever seen, except for Guiguzi and Zhang Wu.
King Wei happily poured himself two glasses of wine, got down from the chairman and handed one of them to Long Yangjun, and said, "Aiqing really lives up to the name of 'the first swordsman of Great Wei'!" He raised his glass and said to everyone: "Come, Zhong Aiqing has another drink!" ”
From Bin Qihu, Long Yangjun's superb swordsmanship is the pride of all Wei people, and it is also the pride of King Anqi. Although it is known all over the world that he is the male favorite of King An Li, and he still does not shy away from suspicion in front of the public, it can be seen from the enthusiastic reaction of the guests at the scene that the Wei people are still martial and are not affected by Long Yangjun's sexual orientation.
Xinlingjun snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "It is said that Ximen Leopard's swordsmanship was several times more clever back then, and he once defeated nearly a hundred swordsmen with the strength of one person, and in the end he was still able to retreat without a little sword wound, compared to what Long Yangjun is." ”
Ximen Hou was in awe and said: "It's a pity that the swordsmanship of the ancestors has not been handed down, and the villain has only learned less than twenty percent of the swordsmanship, otherwise how can he get the prestige of Longyang Jun." ”
Lu Yu thought to himself that this Ximen Hou had such a powerful ancestor, but I don't know if it is as powerful as Xinling Jun said, wouldn't it be more clever than Guiguzi's swordsmanship?
At this time, in Lu Yu's heart, he thought that Guiguzi should be the "Sword Saint" of this era, although even the King of Wei admitted that Qilu's swordsmanship was powerful, but he had not seen it for a day, Lu Yu still couldn't imagine that anyone's swordsmanship could surpass Guiguzi, wouldn't it be a god.
I only heard that Zhu Hai said: "The name of Ximen Leopard is far more than its swordsmanship. If it weren't for Ximen Jun, I am afraid that the world would continue to suffer from the vicious custom of Hebo marrying a wife. ”
Lu Yu knew that "He Bo marrying a wife" was a vulgar in ancient times, probably because people at that time were afraid of unknown things in the rivers and lakes, and superstitious that there were scattered immortals such as ghosts and gods. In ancient times, sorcerers were a legitimate profession, and there was a sorcerer who suggested that beautiful women should be offered to the gods as wives on a regular basis in order to keep one safe, so the ancients had to endure the pain and hand over their hard-working daughters to sorcerers as sacrifices. Over time, many families were reluctant to let their daughters suffer such a catastrophe, but did not dare to disobey the orders of the shaman, so people continued to move to other places, and as a result, many villages near the water became less and less inhabited, and became more desolate. Listening to what Zhu Hai said just now, I didn't expect the reputation of Ximen Hou's ancestors to be so good.
Two more competitions followed, Ximen Hou defeated the Yan warrior with one hundred and forty-seven swords, and Jing Jie, who also defeated another Yan warrior with one hundred and forty-seven swords. In terms of swordsmanship, Ximen Hou and Jing Jie seem to be on par, although they both defeated the warriors of the Yan Kingdom, but they are no longer as exciting as Lu Yu in the first game and Long Yangjun in the second game. Rao was so, because the Wei people won all the four competitions, which made all the guests cheer and added to the climax atmosphere of the audience. King Wei is even more delighted, and rewarded Ximen Hou and Jing Jie with gold, silver and jewelry beauties.
Xinlingjun is also very happy, Lu Yu as his "person", not only won glory for him, but also was named Zuo Zhonglang by the King of Wei, in his opinion, as long as he agreed to Lu Yu's request, property, beauty, officials, there must be a kind of Lu Yu liked, as long as he can take it for his own use, maybe he can shake or even give up the idea of looking for Zhang Wu. And if there is one more person of his own in the palace, the struggle with Long Yangjun will have an extra chance of winning.
There is no doubt that Lu Yu's status and reputation in Daliang have jumped again tonight, and with Xinlingjun's status in Wei today, no one dares to offend him like Jing Jie did before.
Lu Yu was actually in a very awkward position, originally he came to Daliang to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhang Wu and others through the relationship of Xinlingjun, but in fact, he had made a serious mistake when he found Xinlingjun, Xinlingjun also promised on the surface that he would not force him to serve himself, but Xiao Zhengwen's matter made Lu Yu owe him a favor, so he had to promise him to attend this banquet, defeat the Yanren warriors, and show his power to Longyangjun. And it was precisely because of this that Lu Yu felt that he could no longer get involved in the struggle between Xinlingjun and Longyangjun by himself.
Everyone present thinks that he is Xinlingjun's person, in this era, loyalty is a very important virtue for a person, Xinlingjun only needs to grasp this, if Lu Yu leaves without permission, it will be equivalent to betrayal, Xinlingjun can launch a hunt and kill order against him, with his status, it is enough to make Lu Yu as sad as a rat crossing the street.
At this point, no one cared about the ten warriors of the Yan Kingdom anymore, and the drama scale became unpopular, as if there was no Yan Ren at the banquet. Everyone was fascinated by the singing and dancing, but Lu Yu had no intention of appreciating it, and kept thinking about whether to go to Zuilanfang after the banquet to make an appointment. He had a gut feeling that Yu'er was not going to deal with him, but more like she was going to reveal some secrets to him. The secret passage in the private room exuded a powerful magic power, which attracted Lu Yu to can't help but want to explore.
Ximen Hou poured wine into Lu Yu's wine glass and said with a smile: "If the junior brother is not mistaken, Brother Lu must be thinking about the Yu'er girl in Zuilanfang." ”
Lu Yu smiled bitterly, Ximen Hou saw it very accurately in this regard, but of course he only guessed half right.
Ximen Hou said again: "Those Yan girls just now have a seductive figure, but if Brother Lu goes to answer the appointment tonight, wouldn't he want to make the Yan girls rewarded by the king stay alone in the empty room?" ”
Lu Yu said with a smile: "Brother Simon, don't make fun of the little brother, how can people be separated?" After a while, the banquet is over, and Brother Simon has to be bothered to choose on behalf of the younger brother. ”
Ximen was surprised: "Brother Lu really doesn't choose it himself?" ”
Lu Yu patted Ximen Hou's shoulder and said, "Of course, junior brother believes in Brother Ximen's vision. ”
At the end of the banquet, many dignitaries and nobles came to congratulate Xinlingjun and catch a glimpse of this dragon man. Obviously, at this banquet, Lu Yu gained fame and fortune, and the discerning people knew at a glance that it was Xinlingjun's political means secretly, and these people who came to congratulate either supported Xinlingjun in the first place, or took the opportunity to stammer. Although everyone knows that Long Yangjun is the popular man of King Wei, it will only take a few years for people to grow old, and when the next King of Wei succeeds to the throne, it is likely to be the time when Long Yangjun's power will decline.
Ximen Hou appeared very active, and took the initiative to communicate with these nobles from time to time.
At this time, the people surrounding Xinlingjun suddenly moved to both sides, and it turned out that the princess had arrived. Wei Mingji was dressed in a gorgeous dress and combed a Lingyun bun, which was full of jewels from head to toe, very gorgeous, and the two palace maids were immediately dwarfed by it.
Then they saluted the princess and resigned one after another.
Wei Mingji said coquettishly: "Congratulations to Jun Shang and General Lu. ”
Xinlingjun laughed and said, "You should congratulate General Lu, why do you congratulate Benjun?" ”
Wei Mingji said softly again: "The king has such a fierce general, of course it is worth congratulating." ”
Xin Lingjun was extremely proud, turned his head to Lu Yu and said: "General Lu, the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, since the king has entrusted you with the task of escorting the princess in eight days, then you will do your best to protect the princess, and you will not allow the slightest difference." ”
