Lu Yu had the opportunity to see the king of a country in Wei. The King of Wei was about forty years old, his face was full, but he was slightly pale with excessive wine, his figure was slightly fat, the crown was long and curved on his head, dozens of strings of pearls and jade threaded with red threads hung down from the top to his forehead, and the royal robe was still mainly red, with stars, sun, 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 milk 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. And because of the drama, the national strength of Yan 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, and Zhengse said: "After discussing with the widows and the Aiqing, 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.

King Wei laughed and said, "Okay! But Lu Yu has merit in protecting Princess Mingji, and the widow has not rewarded him well, so the competition should be stopped at the point and must not hurt him. ”

The drama scale said again: "King Wei: My warriors of the Yan Kingdom have always only practiced the art of killing, if it is limited to the point to the point, I am afraid it will be difficult to perform swordsmanship, and the weapon has no eyes, the villain dares to ask the King of Wei to allow them to play freely." ”

This remark shocked everyone again. Lu Yu looked at the drama scales, and greeted his ancestors for more than ten generations in his heart, he had never seen this person, let alone offended him, why did this person seem to put himself to death again and again?

Wei Mingji finally couldn't help but shout: "Bold scales! Didn't you hear the king say don't hurt Lu Yu? has repeatedly and brazenly increased the requirements, why don't you just say that Lu Yu will play against you alone Ten Samurai? ”

The drama scale wanted to reply, but Lu Yu took the first step and said: "Please give the king an order, the villain will not disappoint the king." "I thought that with the seven swords taught by Guiguzi, plus my own mind from two thousand years later, would it be worse than the two ancient people?

King Wei laughed when he heard this, and said, "Okay! Today, let the Yan people open their eyes and teach their warriors to know that my Great Wei swordsman is not in vain! After that, he said to the drama scales: "Don't you choose a samurai yet?" ”

The drama scales called: "Mu Chuan, Mu He listen to the order!" ”

I saw two tall warriors among the ten warriors of the Yan Kingdom, and said loudly: "The villain is here!" ”

The drama scale said again: "The two of you will appear and learn the swordsmanship of Jiaolongxia!" ”

The two of them said in unison: "Command!" ”

Lu Yu saw that these two people were half a head taller than him, and they were even bigger than him in terms of body size, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and green tendons on his arms. That drama scale selected these two people to fight against him, presumably with the confidence to defeat Lu Yu. However, body size may also be a disadvantage, and it may not be as flexible as its smaller self.

King Wei stood up and said, "Give the sword!" After the eunuch handed the sword to Mu Chuan, Mu He, and Lu Yu, he announced loudly: "The widow announces, the competition begins!" ”

In fact, the only advantage Lu Yu took was the broken sword in his hand. The weapons are used skillfully, and the odds of victory have undoubtedly increased in the battle. And the two Yan warriors used the swords given by the King of Wei, even if the two were sword masters, it was impossible to use them easily from the beginning.

Since the beginning of the banquet, Long Yangjun has never opened his mouth, but a pair of eyes fall on Lu Yu from time to time.

The two of them had already put on a posture of fighting, looking like they were going to swallow Lu Yu.

Lu Yu stood facing the two of them, and did not immediately draw his sword, but secretly adjusted his breathing rhythm, and the "Spirit Turtle Sword" was already gaining momentum.

Mu Chuan and Mu He shouted at the same time, and they all raised their swords to attack Lu Yu.

Lu Yu saw that the two of them seemed to be attacking his left and right shoulders, but the sword in Mu He's hand was slightly slanted down by half an inch compared to Mu Chuan, and it was very likely that he was attacking his middle lane. Sure enough, the closer the two of them got to themselves, the greater the deviation of the two sword directions. Between the lightning and flint, Lu Yu pulled out the broken sword, his feet bent down slightly, and the scabbard of his left hand sank. Just as Lu Yu finished these few actions like lightning, the sound of the blades intersecting sounded almost simultaneously with everyone's exclamations. Lu Yu's drawn sword drew a half-arc in front of his chest, just blocking the sword that attacked his right shoulder, while the sinking scabbard impartially blocked Mu He's sword attacking his lower plate. Na Muhe obviously didn't expect that Lu Yu not only estimated his sword path, but also resisted with his scabbard, and suddenly his movements stopped slightly. Lu Yu struck while the iron was hot, and swung his sword with his right hand to unload Mu Chuan's sword strength, and at the same time pressed Mu He's sword and smashed his body into his arms.

Mu Chuan felt that the power used on the sword was like a mud cow entering the sea, and he involuntarily stepped forward.

Mu He was even more embarrassed, Lu Yu's moves had never been seen before, and the sword in his hand was pressed by him with a scabbard, so he had to retreat violently.

Lu Yu quickly "gifted" a kick to Mu Chuan's buttocks, stabbed his body suddenly, turned his upper body back to the right at the same time, and threw the scabbard in his hand towards Mu He at the eye level, and the lower body was also adjusted at this time, and the broken army sword stabbed at Mu He.

"Bell!" Mu He, who was in a fixed position, used his sword to swing away the scabbard thrown by Lu Yu, and the broken army sword had already arrived in front of him. There was no way to avoid it, Mu He could only raise his sword and swing Lu Yu's sword again.

Lu Yu pulled a sword flower along with the force that was swept away by him, and when he wanted to stab it again, there was a sound of wind breaking in the back of his head.

It all happens almost in the blink of an eye. Lu Yu didn't expect Mu Chuan to attack him again so quickly, although the kick in his ass was not strong, but he was able to stop the body rushing forward in such a short period of time, and turned around and stabbed Lu Yu, which shows that this person's reaction is also very fast. In the exclamation of the guests again, Lu Yu turned sideways, and his face was almost against Mu Chuan's stabbing sword. And of course, he didn't let go of this opportunity to get close, and his left hand quickly turned into a palm and went to Mu Chuan's chin. At this time, Mu He's sword had also arrived in front of Lu Yu.

I saw that the broken sword in Lu Yu's hand skyrocketed, the sword was as flexible as a bead in his hand, each sword was connected to the next sword, without any gap, in the eyes of the guests, Lu Yu was like a god descending to earth, and it seemed to have endless sword moves, this is the "turning round sword". And there were a few swords mixed with the sword path of the "Fu Xiong Sword", and for a while, it turned into an attack, which made the sword in Mu He's hand suddenly disobedient, completely pulled by Lu Yu's sword path, and he couldn't take advantage of it at all.

Mu Chuan was caught off guard by Lu Yutuo in the jaw, although he did not fall, but this palm also made him dizzy. After staggering back a few steps, when he came back to his senses, Lu Yu and Mu He were already in a mess. I only heard him scream, and stabbed Lu Yu to the right side.

The tacit understanding between these two is not high, and there is a gap between the swordsmanship of either of them compared to Jing Jie and Ximen Hou. But the two of them combined, I'm afraid Jing Jie and Ximen Hou will also be difficult to parry. Lu Yu first took advantage of the weapon, plus the swordsmanship taught by Guiguzi, how could it be that ordinary swordsmen could fight? In the battle, Lu Yu found that Mu Chuan's swordsmanship was a little worse than Mu He's, so in the sword to sword exchange, at least seven of the ten swords were against Mu He, and he tried to solve Mu He quickly, while the remaining three swords against Mu Chuan were fictitious and changeable, making Mu Chuan unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

In the battle and retreat, Mu He had done his best to receive dozens of swords from Lu Yu, and the tiger's mouth with the sword was already numb because of blocking Lu Yu's killing moves, seeing that the long sword in Lu Yu's hand suddenly swept over, and the attack was his throat, and he was busy erecting his sword to resist it. Unexpectedly, the broken army in Lu Yu's hand suddenly turned and became an oblique pick. Rao is Muhe reacted quickly enough to hurriedly retreat in shock, but the tip of Lu Yu's sword still cut off a small handful of hair on his forehead.

Lu Yuxin screamed a pity, if he was faster, he would definitely leave an indelible mark on his forehead. But Mu Chuan didn't allow him to think about it anymore, and the tip of the sword had already reached within one step behind Lu Yu. There was not enough time to turn around to block the sword, and his body hurriedly fell to the left front, and at the same time, his right foot was sharply raised, and the lightning kicked out backwards and upwards. This kick just hit Mu Chuan's elbow, and with Mu Chuan's shout, the sword in his hand was also taken out of his hand due to the powerful paralyzing sensation coming from his arm.

"Bell!" Mu Chuan's sword fell to the ground, and the loud applause of all the guests also sounded at the same time.

Lu Yu didn't allow him to have a chance to breathe again, and when his right foot landed, the broken sword in his hand had already stabbed Mu Chuan's throat like a ghost.

"Big brother!" Mu He shouted behind Lu Yu, and he didn't need to look back, he knew that he had already raised his sword to attack. If Lu Yu stabbed Mu Chuan in the throat with a sword, it would be difficult to turn around and deal with Mu He in such a short distance. But if you turn back, you will lose the opportunity to solve Mu Chuan.

As soon as the blade of the sword turned, Lu Yu suddenly retracted his sword and rushed forward, hitting Mu Chuan's ribs with the hilt of the sword, in order to save his life, the other party had to subconsciously raise his other hand to block the sword stabbed by Lu Yu in the panic, but he didn't expect Lu Yu to change his moves, only to feel a sharp pain coming from under his ribs, "wow" spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell backwards again and again, and was knocked to the ground by Lu Yu's blow.

Including Mu He, everyone present didn't expect Lu Yu to do this.

And Lu Yu appeared in front of Mu He like a ghost. The other party's sword path hesitated slightly, and Lu Yu had already discovered at least three flaws he had exposed. The sword light flashed, and Mu He's eyes suddenly turned white. When he came back to his senses, the sound of his clothes tearing from under his right armpit came to his ears. I don't know when Lu Yu is behind him. Everyone present could see that Lu Yu's body was as fast as a ghost, after hitting Mu Chuan with the hilt of the sword, he used Mu Chuan's body as a point of borrowing, and bounced out like a spirit monkey, and quickly pulled a sword flower on the way to Mu He, and reflected it in Mu He's eyes with the light of the lamp with the help of the sword surface, and finally curled his whole body and avoided under the sword stabbed by Mu He.
