Volume 1 The First Involvement in the Warring States Chapter 054 Becoming famous in one fell swoop
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." ”
Lu Yu hurriedly said: "Of course. The villain must do his best to protect the princess. He originally wanted to say more about escorting the princess back and forth safely, thinking that as long as he stepped out of the beam, he would never return to the Wei Kingdom, so why exaggerate here. Maybe it's too exaggerated, but it will arouse the suspicion of Shinling-kun. His current situation is passive step by step, and he must be cautious in what he says and does, otherwise if there is a mistake, not only will he not be able to leave, but Xiao Zhengwen may also be affected by himself.
Wei Mingji gave Lu Yu a wink, didn't say more, and drove back.
This one wink, it really didn't come at the right time. As early as when he left Chen County, Lu Yu had already noticed the "unusual relationship" between Wei Mingji and Ximen Hou, and before that, he had "personally witnessed" that this woman maintained a physical relationship with Chunshenjun Huang Xie and Li Yuan. Perhaps, to some extent, Wei Mingji has different wants with these men who have affairs with her, and the men treat her as a plaything in the palm of their hands, and she may "exchange" some useful secrets with these people in the flesh. Although Xinlingjun was her uncle, because he was suspicious of the King of Wei, Wei Mingji specially let Ximen Hou get close to him and even have a relationship with him, so as to grasp Xinlingjun's information through Ximen Hou. And it is impossible for Ximen Hou not to know the debauchery of this princess of Wei, with his cleverness, he must also want to use her relationship to create his career. As for whether he will "betray" Xinlingjun, or it depends on how much benefit Wei Mingji can bring him.
None of this is impossible.
And her "hints" to Lu Yu, her motives are not detailed enough for the time being. But this has already aroused Ximen Hou's jealousy, every time Ximen Hou is always present, and Wei Mingji seems to deliberately "show goodwill" to Lu Yu in front of him, which makes Lu Yu very headache. Not to mention the feeling between men and women, it is absolutely impossible for Lu Yu to sleep with this slut, and the impression is not ordinarily bad. Every time she "shows goodwill" to him, she is challenging Ximen Hou's limit, jealousy will produce hostility, maybe one day the sword in Ximen Hou's hand will be aimed at Lu Yu.
I hope that the next eight days will be safe, as long as I survive these few days, maybe I will never have a chance to meet again in the future.
Lu Yu seized the opportunity, explained the reason to Xin Lingjun, and prepared to go to Zuilanfang.
Xinling Jun was surprised: "Lu Yu, you have only been in Daliang for a few days, and you have made that Yu'er moved?" ”
Lu Yu heard him say this with a hint of jealousy, and secretly wondered if Xinlingjun had also thought about Yu'er, so he smiled embarrassedly: "It's still unknown whether you have moved your heart, maybe it's just an ordinary celebration banquet." ”
Xinlingjun said: "It's an unknown number, but everything should be focused on business, this gentleman has something to inform you during the eclipse tomorrow, Lu Yu, you must not be nostalgic for the land of fireworks, and leave the business behind." ”
Lu Yu knew that he was going to fulfill his previous promise to himself, so he replied: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, Lu Yu has a sense of proportion in his heart and will never miss the right thing." ”
Xinlingjun said expressionlessly: "That's the best." Then he and Zhu Hai turned around and left.
