Chapter 104: The Wine Banquet in the Palace with a Thin Waist

Zhan Wuxian and his wife returned to the shore and collected the sword dragon, but there was not a single drop of water stuck to the two of them. Zhan Wuxian handed over the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword to Wu Zixu, and instructed: "This sword is extremely powerful, if you don't meet a top master, you can completely deal with it with this sword, and then you encounter ordinary soldiers, or even corpse beasts, you don't have to panic, calm down, silently recite the sword technique, and the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword will wish you to escape." This sword is noble, and you must not lose her again. ”

Wu Zixu said: "What the eldest brother said is that Zixu wrote it down. I don't know the sword trick that my eldest brother said, so please teach me my eldest brother. ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "The Seven Star Longyuan Sword Recipe is difficult to say, easy to say, a total of seven seven forty-nine tricks, as long as you understand it thoroughly and understand it thoroughly, a person like you who has no foundation needs someone to explain it to you." But it's important to save your father and brother now, I don't have time to teach you, you just stay in Yunmengze, and let Li'er explain the seven-star sword trick to you" Zhan Wuxian said this, wanting Mo Wuya to stay in Yunmengze.

Since King Chuping ascended the throne, he has widely invited martial arts masters, led by Fei Wuji, to exclude dissidents internally, and to dominate the world externally. Zhan Wuxian knew that when he went to Yingdu, King Chuping would probably not let go of Wu Hao's father and son easily, and there would definitely be a dispute at that time, and there would be a big battle. Mo Wuya will definitely not be at ease, and will secretly go to Yingdu, if Zhan Wuxian encounters any danger, he will help. Zhan Wuxian also knew that if he really had to fight with King Chu Ping's subordinates, he would definitely be more auspicious and dangerous, so he had to find a way to keep Mo Wuya in Yunmengze and keep her away from the land of right and wrong. Although Mo Wuya had promised to teach the Red Sword Technique in Yunmengze, Zhan Wuxian was still not at ease, so he asked Mo Wuya to teach Wu Zixu the Seven Star Sword Technique, so that she would have no time to rush to Yingdu.

Wu Zixu opened his mouth and wanted to say that he would go with Zhan Wuxian, but he thought: In Yingdu, the master of King Chu is like a cloud, and Fei Wuji has practiced peerless martial arts, although he has the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, but the Seven-Star Sword Technique is not yet, if he encounters danger, he will become a burden to Zhan Wuxian, and he can't take care of what to do. If Zhan Wuxian can save his father and brother, if he can't save it, and he dies because of it, who can avenge our Wu family. Therefore, Wu Zixu opened his mouth several times and didn't say anything.

And Mo Wuya already understood Zhan Wuxian's intentions, and he didn't say anything more.

Zhan Wuxian said goodbye to everyone and was about to leave, and found that the Chu soldier was following behind Mo Wuya and Wu Zixu, and he didn't dare to move forward. Zhan Wuxian said to him: "I have already let you go back, why haven't you left yet?" The soldier knelt down and said: "The villain's name is Qu Xi, he once followed Mr. in Caicheng to fight against the corpse beast pawn, and he has admired Mr. for a long time, and he has long wanted to take refuge with Mr. and follow Mr. sooner or later." It's a pity that after Cai Cheng broke the enemy, he didn't know where Mr. went, but I didn't expect to see Mr. here today, please don't drive me away. ”

Zhan Wuxian smiled helplessly, looked at Mo Wuya and Zhan Chi, and said in his heart: I am leaving, Li'er will take Chi'er alone, it must be very hard, and I want Wu Zixu to be born in a rich family, and he has to practice the seven-star sword technique, and he will also take care of himself, and some things of life need to be taken care of. Seeing that Qu Xi is an old and down-to-earth person, it is not impossible to leave him to take care of Li'er's mother and son, if Qu Xi is willing, Li'er can also teach him some swordsmanship. So he said to Mo Wuya: "What do you think you should do, Ya'er?" Mo Wuya and Zhan Wuxian sympathized with each other, as if they had already seen what he was thinking, so they said: "Then leave him, but you have to come back early so that you can teach him some swordsmanship, I don't have time." Zhan Wuxian said: "Then listen to you." ”

Qu Xi heard that he could stay, and hurriedly thanked Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya. Zhan Wuxian explained a few more words, and was about to use the escape technique to set off, Mo Wuya came over and said, "I'll send you off before leaving." Zhan Wuxian saw Mo Wuya with tears in his eyes and looked at him with affection, so he agreed, and the two walked out side by side.

Mo Wuya said as he walked: "Shirt, you don't know how to go, I'm always restless and panicked, I have some ominous premonitions...... Zhan Wuxian comforted her: "Ya'er, it's okay, this is not the first time we've separated, I'll be fine." I'm going to Yingdu, I'll act when I see the opportunity, be careful everywhere, I won't force me, I'm the one who defeated the son and the enemy, and I still have the Mo Evil Sword, there are few people in the world who can hurt me, and the two seniors of the cadre Mo Ye will also bless me, you can rest assured. ”

Mo Wuya looked at Zhan Wuxian affectionately, tidied up his collar for him, combed his hair with his fingers, and nodded reluctantly.

Zhan Wuxian came to Yingdu, and the scene in the city has not changed much from three years ago, but the people are different. When he came to the gate of Wufu, the gate was locked, scarred, the leaves in front of the door were scattered, dashing and desolate, and the wall was already full of weeds, swaying left and right with the wind. There were a few strange-looking people walking or stopping around Wu Mansion, staring at the sparse people passing by Wu Mansion.

Zhan Wuxian watched from a distance, and said in his heart: The years are in a hurry, things are not people, and they are changing so fast. After the original Cai Gongxiong abandoned his illness and ascended to the throne, it was only three years before there were so many accidents in the Chu State. The prince was on the border, the king married the Qin girl, the Wu clan was wiped out, and Zixu fled. "Alas!" Zhan Wuxian sighed, sometimes he really wanted to do a big job, come to a good time, not to see the king of Chu, directly break into the prison and rob the prison, and rescue the Wu father and son. But he also thinks about it, because he understands that there are some things that cannot be taken lightly.

Zhan Wuxian turned around and walked towards the Slender Waist Palace, no one knew him on the road, and even a big man bumped into him, and he was scolded by the big man. This reminded him of Cai Cheng, what a big gap this is, maybe this is what he wants, a martial arts master is hidden in the rivers and lakes and no one knows him, it is also a very comfortable and relaxing thing.

Unknowingly, when he arrived at the gate of the Slender Waist Palace, Zhan Wuxian announced his name and said that he wanted to see the King of Chu. The guards guarding the gate saw that Zhan Wushirt was dressed plainly, with a sword on his back, dressed in rivers and lakes, not a minister, and didn't even look at him, and said, "Zhan Wuxian? Who is Zhan Wuxian, I haven't heard of it. Let me tell you, no one shall enter the palace without the summons of the king. Hurry up, hurry up, the king has no time to see you. Zhan Wuxian suppressed his anger and said: "You just need to talk to the king, say that Zhan Wuxian wants to see him, and the king will meet me." A guard said: "What kind of exhibition, who do you think you are, if you don't leave, I'm not polite to you." "Zhan Wuxian can't bear it, a janitor is so arrogant, and those meat eaters don't know what to do. He was about to get angry, when he suddenly heard someone behind him: "When did the junior brother arrive in Yingdu, why didn't you go to me?" Zhan Wuxian saw that it was Fei Wuji who came from behind, and found that he didn't speak like Fei Wuji before.

Zhan Wuxian said: "Senior brother came just in time, I wanted to see the king, but this soldier stopped me from entering." Fei Wuji said: "With the credit of my junior brother, you can go wherever you want in the entire Chu country, why bother with this janitor." Fei Wuji said to the guard again: "You are so bold, do you know who this is?" He is the benefactor of our king, you are so rude, you don't want to live? Seeing that it was Fei Wuji, the guard hurriedly knelt down and said, "The villain has no eyes, I don't know that this is Dr. Fei's junior brother." Accompanied by Dr. Fei, there is no need to inform the king, and the palace can enter and exit freely. ”

"I'll spare you this time, and give me a little smarter in the future." Fei Wuji said to Zhan Wuxian again: "These people don't have to pay attention to him, let's go to see the king together." ”

"But?" The guard said, "His sword? The guard pointed to the sword on his shirt.

Fei Wuji pulled out the Chengying Sword violently and said, "Is it that I can't carry the sword either?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." The guards looked at the dark red Shadow Sword, their faces turned pale with fright, and they retreated step by step. I don't know how many people this sword killed, but one of his brothers was killed by the Chengying Sword for saying the wrong thing.

Fei Wuji returned the sword to the sheath and said, "Be smart in the future." ”

The guard did not dare to speak again.

The two of them said as they walked: "The king also mentioned you yesterday, saying that the three-year sword casting date is approaching, I don't know how the sword is cast, and he also said that I will go to Yunmengze to visit you and my junior sister." ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "The sword has been cast, but it's a pity that the two predecessors of Mo Xie are the cadres?" ”

Fei Wuji said: "What's wrong with the two seniors?" ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "In order to forge a sword, the two seniors burned the corpse in the sword casting furnace. ”

"It's a shame." Fei Wuji said: "There is another thing I remind you that the king is very concerned about the matter of forging swords, and once told me privately that he wanted a good sword. ”

"I came here this time for two things, one is to give the king a sword, which is the Xuantie Sword forged in Yunmengze, and the other is for Wu Hao's father and son, does Senior Brother know about this?"

Fei Wuji had already guessed when he heard Zhan Wuxian say this, Wu Zixu went to Yunmengze to find Zhan Wuxian and asked him to save Wu's father and son. As soon as Zhan Wuxian arrived in Yingdu, he was detected by the scouts and quickly reported to the King of Chu and Fei Wuji, who had already guessed the purpose of Zhan Wuxian's visit.

Fei Wuji smiled slightly: "Of course I know, I heard that Wu Hao colluded with the prince to plot rebellion, and he was sent to death row by the king." ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "Senior brother, do you believe it? ”

"Of course I don't believe it." Fei Wuji said: "The king's ascension to the throne is the destiny of heaven, and it is not up to anyone to get it." But it is a fact that the prince secretly had a tryst with his wife and fled to the military mansion. But I think this may be a misunderstanding, I have been persuading the king to release the Wu father and son in the past few days, and the king has agreed. ”

"Really?" That being said, Zhan Wuxian was a little skeptical.

"Seriously, we can ask the king face to face." Fei Wuji said: "The king is a little upset these days, when you see the king, you will first present the sword, and then talk about the Wu family's father and son." ”

Zhan Wuxian didn't speak, and when he heard Fei Wuji say this, he felt a little sad in his heart. How did the rangers ever flatter the powerful?

As soon as the two of them came to the Slender Waist Palace, before they could report, King Chuping had already greeted him with a smile on his face. "Hahaha, Mr. Zhan, you are here, the widow misses you so much." As he spoke, he took Zhan Wuxian's hand and said, "Come on, come on, come in." And he commanded that wine should be served. King Chuping asked: "After three years, the widow really misses you, tell the widow, how are you doing in Yunmengze, is the sword forging still smooth?" ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "Thank you for your concern, the sword has been cast." After speaking, he pulled the Mo Evil Sword out of the scabbard, and saw a ray of light shoot out, illuminating the palace. The sword body is elegant and slender, and there is a looming dragon pattern on it that seems to be swimming.

The King of Chu exclaimed: "Good sword, good sword." Does this sword have a name? ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "In order to commemorate Mo Xie's predecessors, this sword is called Mo Xie Sword. ”

Fei Wuji looked at Mo Evil Sword for a while, and was surprised and a little envious and jealous. Fei Wuji said in his heart: I went through all the hardships to win the Chengying Sword, and after all odds I got the Divine Fire Order to practice the Southern Spiritual Fire Technique, I didn't expect Zhan Wuxian to cast such a good sword, and it was even better than the Chengying Sword, he always pressed me. No, I must overtake him, defeat him, I can't let him have this sword, no, it's a double sword. So Fei Wuji said: "This sword is brilliant and prosperous, and you are really a good sword." The king's sword is called Mo Xie, and if I guess correctly, there should be another sword called the Ganjiang Sword. ”

Zhan Wuxian was taken aback, and said in his heart: How did he know? I've never told anyone about the sword. Zhan Wuxian suddenly thought that when he came to the Slender Waist Palace, he had told Fei Wuji that he had cast double swords in Yunmengze, and this time he brought a Mo Evil Sword with him. With Fei Wuji's cleverness, he would definitely guess another one named Ganjiang Sword. So Zhan Wuxian said: "Exactly, there are two swords cast in the Flying Stone Outside the Sky, one is a cadre, and the other is Mo Xie." ”

"And where's the sword?" Fei Wuji asked.

"The sword is still in Yunmengze Ya'er's hands, I didn't bring it, if you want to see it, you can go back to Yunmengze with me."

"No need." Fei Wuji smiled treacherously: "However, the cadre and the Mo Evil Sword are forged by the flying stones from the sky given by the king, I think, should these double swords be owned by the Chu State and owned by the king, what do you say, junior brother?" ”

Zhan Wuxian was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Fei Wuji to say this, and his heart was as painful as a knife.

Seeing where the two froze, King Chu Ping smiled and said, "The widow is very good at swords, what kind of sword did Mr. Zhan just say?" The cadre Mo Evil Sword, well, is indeed a good sword, but Mr. Zhan also works very hard to forge a sword, and the widow and Mr. Zhan are like brothers, and they will not win people's love. Can Mr. Zhan lend the Mo Evil Sword to the widow for a few days? ”

Zhan Wuxian came to save Wu Hao's father and son this time, and he also vaguely felt that what Wu Zixu said was true, and the murder of Wu Hao's father and son was related to Fei Wuji. Zhan Wuxian thought again, if you can save people without using force, you can't use force, if you give the Mo Evil Sword to the King of Chu and you can save Wu Hao's father and son, it would be the best. For the trust of friends, I will not hesitate to cut my love. So Zhan Wuxian said: "Since the king likes the Mo Evil Sword, he is willing to give this sword to the king." But there's one thing I want to ask the king. ”

"What's the matter, Mr. Tell me directly, and be polite to me." King Chu Ping said with a smile.

Zhan Wuxian said: "I'm here for the matter of Wu Hao's father and son, I heard that they were wronged, can the king first find out this matter before making a final decision." ”

King Chuping laughed: "No need to check. Even if Mr. doesn't come, the widow plans to release Wu Hao's father and son, and will also give them an official rank. The widow has found out that the prince and Wu Hao did not form a party to usurp the throne and murder the widow, which is all the slander of some snobs, and the widow has already disposed of them. Then King Chuping asked Fei Wuji again: "Mr. Fei, did you say that?" ”

"What the king said is very true." Fei Wuji Dao.

Things went so smoothly that Zhan Wuxian was a little unconvinced: "Is this true? ”

King Chu Ping said: "Sir doesn't believe in widows? I can immediately send someone to pick up Wu Hao and his son together with my husband. ”

"Jun has no jokes, what the king said is right, I can testify that this matter is a misunderstanding, and the king has sent someone to the Song Kingdom to pick up the prince back to Yingdu." The person who spoke was Ying Yi, the wife of the King of Chu, and I saw that she was graceful and luxurious, with heavy makeup, and she completely lost her heroic appearance when she was in Caicheng. Ying Yi and Zhan Wuxian bowed and said: "My relationship with the crown prince Mr. Zhan must also be clear, and there is no need to talk about the past. I have never seen Prince Jian since I got married to the king, and that night Prince Jian suddenly came to me, saying that he was working very hard in the city father, and asked me to intercede in front of the king and transfer him from the city father back to Yingdu. Who knew that the king had just arrived, and the prince Jian was afraid that the lonely men and widows would not be able to explain things clearly, so he hurriedly fled. And the king thought that the prince had committed misdeeds, so he sent someone to chase him, and I was at a loss at the time. Think about it, the king is the prince's own father, how could he be willing to kill his own son. After this incident, I have made it clear to the king, and the king also released his suspicions with the prince, and also promised the prince to return to Yingdu, and this matter has nothing to do with Wu Hao. King Chu Ping said: "Sir, you can trust the widow." Come on, let's drink first, and then Mr. Fei accompanied the release of Wu Hao and his son, announcing that the world is innocent of Wu Hao's family. ”

When Zhan Wuxian heard this, he gradually felt that what King Chuping said was true, and he regretted that he should not doubt King Chuping and Fei Wuji, and when he saw the good wine in front of him, the narrow sense of anger in his heart surged, and he picked up the wine and drank it all, and said: "Wu Xian is reckless, I was rude to the king just now, and I ask the king to forgive me." ”

"Sir is outside, sir is outside. Haha......" King Chuping said with a smile: "Come, Madame pours wine for Mr. Zhan." ”

Zhan Wuxian took down the Mo Evil Sword, and said, "Wu Xian is willing to give the Mo Evil Sword to the king." ”

King Chuping smiled again and said: "The Mo Evil Sword was forged by Mr. after all kinds of difficulties, how can the widow be embarrassed to take love?" "Even so, King Chu Ping still went to pick up the Mo Evil Sword with both hands.

Fei Wuji then said: "Senior brother is sincere, the king still accepts it." At this time, King Chu Ping had already caught Mo Xie's sword and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Mr. Zhan." ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "Can the king release Wu Hao and his son now?" ”

"Of course." King Chuping didn't think twice: "Mr. Fei, you accompany Mr. Zhan to the prison." After saying that, he glanced at Ying Yi again. Ying Yi immediately said: "Mr. Zhan finally came to the Slender Waist Palace, why did the king entertain with this kind of bad wine, I think Mr. Zhan saved the king more than once when he was in Caicheng, and the king should take out the best wine to entertain Mr. Zhan." ”

"Madame said yes, but this wine is already the best wine in Chu State." Chu Ping Wang Road.

"The king is forgetful, do you still remember that when I married to the Chu State, I brought ten jars of good Qin wine, I heard that it was brewed by Mu Gong back then, and it was used to entertain the world's talents who went to Qin. The ten jars of wine have not been opened yet, why don't you use Qin wine today and invite Mr. Zhan to drink a jue? King Chuping immediately said: "Okay, the ten jars of Qin wine have always wanted to taste it, but Mrs. just didn't allow it, and now Mrs. is willing to cut her love, that's the best." Fei Wuji catered and said: "I also have this intention, thank you Madame for the wine." ”

Zhan Wuxian said: The king of Chu has promised to release the people, and it will not be in the way if he drinks another jue. What's more, Qin Guomi wine is famous all over the world, and I have long wanted to taste it. So he said: "Okay, then drink another Jue Qin wine." ”

Not long after, Ying Yi came out with a mutton fat jade pot in his hand, poured wine for King Chuping, Zhan Wuxian, and Fei Wuji respectively, and poured her a jue for herself. Everyone tasted a small sip slowly, but felt that the wine was fragrant, strong and mellow, and then drank it all, it was full of fragrant aroma, and the aftertaste was endless. Qin wine is strong, revealing the courage of the Qin people; The fragrance of Qin wine is beautiful, and the posture of the Qin girl is beautiful.

Unconsciously, several people drank a jar of Qin wine.

King Chuping began to feel a little dizzy, and said, "The widow is not strong enough to drink, so Doctor Fei, you will accompany Mr. Zhan to the prison." Then Ying Yi helped King Chuping back to the harem.
