Chapter 13: The Court Competition

Gongzi Cheng said a few words, and the entire Zhao Palace was filled with traces of open and secret battles. Li Dui just wanted to open his mouth and relieve the siege for Junshang. Fei Yi glanced at him and persuaded him not to interfere. Li Dui understood and was silent. Everyone in the hall is also quietly waiting for the scale of this victory, which side will be leaning. Is it a young new king, or a son who is under one person and above ten thousand.

They are waiting for the victor to come and reveal the answer.

Tu Yi panted like a cow, unable to suppress the anger in his heart, stretched out his thick palm, and slapped it on several cases. The fine wine placed on several tables also overflowed with the force he exerted. Tu Yi's eyes spewed flames, and his voice was quite dissatisfied, "I'm here to ask for a few tricks." ”

A fleeting smile appeared at the corner of Gongzicheng's mouth, the corners of his lips rose, and he said in his heart: "A reckless man is a reckless man." ”

Zhao Bao saw that the situation was suddenly out of control, and Tu Yi, as the captain, wanted to teach Sima Wang a lesson in person. No matter which side wins, there will always be one side that can't hold its face. According to the current situation, the person who lost face will definitely be the new king.

Zhao Bao must not let such a thing happen, and came forward to reconcile at the moment, "Tu Duwei's swordsmanship is superb, and he is already well known. There is no need to compare this competition. ”

Zhao Bao's words not only failed to calm the anger in Tu Duwei's heart, but instead stimulated the fighting spirit in the other party's heart. Tu Yi thought that Xiangbang's words were a contempt for him, and said dissatisfied: "No matter how high or low, it is inevitable that there will be gossip." I will not be able to convince the public in the future. ”

Childe Cheng secretly thrusted, "As the so-called, heroes come out of teenagers." Tu Duwei lost to the doll in front of him, and he will humiliate your name. This competition is not comparable. ”

Childe hides a knife in his smile, and he has a force behind him. How could Zhao Bao not understand the true purpose of the other party. In order to resolve this meaningless battle, Zhao Bao's tone was filled with a tough momentum, "Da Sikou, what do you mean." ”

"If Tu Duwei wins, it will make people think that he bullied a child and lost his identity. If Tu Duwei loses, his reputation will be ruined" Gongzi Cheng, his face was calm, his hands were spread, and he expressed his helplessness, "I am thinking about Tu Duwei's hard-won reputation. Tu Duwei, give up! ”

Zhao Bao scolded: "You..."

Gongzi Cheng cut off, "Xiangbang, you also think that Tu Duwei is not this young man's opponent. ”

"I didn't mean that." Zhao Bao originally wanted to resolve the court battle with the strength of one person. Who knows, a few words from Gongzi Cheng pushed him into the trap. Today's Zhao Bao is also in a dilemma, and scolded in his heart: "Cunning fox." ”

Tu Duwei was originally angry in his heart, and Gongzicheng's verbal instigation further stimulated his desire to win. Tu Yi suddenly got up, walked into the hall, and faced the Sima Wang clan, sending out a battle, "Please advise." ”

Faced with an uncontrollable situation. Zhao Bao is the best person to adjust, but he was also forced into the corner by Gongzicheng. Although Feiyi, Li Dui, and Gongsun Fu know how to deal with it. However, this is an internal matter of the Zhao family, born as a foreigner, not only is he soft-spoken, but he will also make enemies on all sides. Everyone chose not to speak, holding the wine bottle and tasting it quietly.

Gongzi Cheng, lest the world be too peaceful, and constantly fanned the fire.

Zhao Yong once heard his father say that Tu Yi's arm strength is outstanding, his ability to lift thousands of catties, and he is brave and invincible. His swordsmanship is superb, and there are few opponents in the palace. However, he lacks resourcefulness and is too impatient. Fortunately, Tu Yi is very loyal. Therefore, Zhao Yu appointed him as the palace guard envoy and governor, controlled the guards, and was responsible for the security of the palace.

The most terrible thing about human beings is the lack of self-knowledge. Tu Yi became a palace guard envoy and concurrently served as a captain, and he was also conscientious and rarely complained. But he is stubborn, and once he is serious, a few cows will not be able to pull it back. At this moment, everyone's eyes are staring at the king. In the face of this situation, what means will Xinjun use to resolve this open and secret battle.

Zhao Yong chose to take the order of the monarch and scolded Tu Yi. It will definitely hurt the face of this captain, and it will also make the hearts of the generals and soldiers of the country cold. If Tu Duwei is allowed to compete with Sima Wang, the Wang clan will undoubtedly lose, and his reputation will also be humiliated. After thinking about it again and again, Zhao Yong pinned his hopes on Sima Wang's general knowledge and chose to retreat despite the difficulties.

Zhao Yong opened his mouth and said, "Sima Wang." ”

Sima Wangzu said: "Yes." ”

Zhao Yong saw that he had no intention of giving up, and his eyes fell on Tu Duwei, "Tu Duwei, his arm strength is thousands, and he is brave." His swordsmanship is very superb. Are you willing to compete with him? ”

Tu Yi saw Xinjun touting himself like this, and his face suddenly showed arrogance. Sima Wangzu understood that this was a secret reminder by the monarch that Tu Duwei was superb in swordsmanship and persuaded him to take the initiative to give up admitting defeat. However, Sima Wang's family shoulders the heavy responsibility of reviving the family's reputation, and with a youthful heart, he can easily let go. Even if he loses his life, he can't let the family's reputation suffer. Sima Wang also wanted to know the results of these three years of hard swordsmanship.

Sima Wangzu responded: "To be able to compete with a master like Tu Duwei, I lost, and I was very happy." ”

Zhao Yong saw that Sima Wangzu didn't understand his intentions, so he pinched a cold sweat and leaned forward, "You really want to compete with Tu Duwei." ”

Sima Wang's eyes, his attitude was resolute, and he had no intention of retreating.

Zhao Yong was secretly anxious, a few drops of cold sweat slipped on his forehead, and he said hurriedly: "You have defeated the guards, and you have also proved your strength." If you don't compete with Tu Duwei, the deputy Duwei is still yours. ”

Zhao Yong's intentions couldn't be clearer. However, Sima Wang's clan had his own thoughts, and said abruptly: "I have a word, whether the king is willing to listen to it." ”

Zhao Yong saw that he didn't open his mind, how could he listen to it, and twisted his brows. Sima Wang, Zhengse said: "Qi is hungry, Qian Ao is on the road for food, and he is waiting for the hungry to eat." There are hungry people who come rashly under their covers. Mo Ao served food on the left and drank on the right, saying: 'Wow! Come and eat. He raised his eyes and said, "Give only the food that comes from the mouth, so that you will also!" So he thanked him, and died without eating. ”

Zhao Yongxin said: "This is what you want to express to me?" ”

Tu Duwei thought that Sima Wang's clan was a child of anointing, but because he was close to the king, he was given the deputy captain. In his life, he looked down on this kind of villain the most. Listening to Sima Wang's words, he still has a little bit of male backbone, and he also has a good impression of the young man in front of him.

Zhao Yong saw that he had made up his mind, and it was not easy to protect him too much. What he can do is to exert invisible pressure on Tu Yi, "Tu Duwei, the Wang clan and the widow are like brothers. You can compete, just click until you get there. Thou shalt not hurt him. ”

When Tu Duwei heard this, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to disobey the orders issued by the king. He clasped his hands into fists and said loudly, "Oh." ”

Sima Wang's clan strode to his opponent and arched his hand: "Tu Duwei, please advise." ”

Tu Yi broke a sentence, "Take out your real skills, I want to see if the people I trained are really useless." ”

Tu Yi was tall and mighty, and his body was strong. Sima Wang's clan stood with him, and suddenly showed a disadvantage. However, his courage to do what he knew he couldn't do made Tu Yi greatly appreciate the courage of the opponent in front of him. Sima Wang's clan was young and vigorous, and as soon as the gentleman's gift was finished, he drew his sword and pointed forward, rushing towards Tu Yi. The long sword approached, Tu Yi raised his sword to resist, and easily defused the opponent's attack.

Just after one move, Tu Yi saw that his opponent was too weak, and his eyes showed disdain. Inevitably, some people will say that he bullies the younger generations in the future. Tu Yi decided to give the other party three moves. Sima Wang, stabbing several swords in a row, took a quick attack. Tu Yi was careless for a moment and almost lost the battle. He was secretly shocked in his heart, "This little doll has some ability." ”

Tu Yi's eyebrows tightened, his sword qi was frosty, and Sima Wangzu saw that he was serious, and took three steps back, distancing himself from his opponent. Tu Yi chased after him, and the long sword slashed down. The opponent shot too fast, and the Sima Wang clan didn't have time to react, so he could only raise his sword to block. The two swords intersected, unleashing dazzling sparks. Tu Yi was so powerful that he shook the mouth of the Sima Wang clan.

"Good" In the hall, there was a round of applause.

This applause is a kind of humiliation for Tu Yi. In order to show his true strength, Tu Yi dealt a heavy blow to the Sima Wang clan. The other party made a sharp move, and the Sima Wang clan had no power to fight back.

"Be careful", Mu Jian saw Sima Wang's clan, and he fell to the bottom in an instant, and almost cried out, but he immediately closed his mouth. Zhao Yong's face also became serious, and his heart was even more nervous. On the contrary, Gongzi Cheng applauded thunderously and said, "Wonderful." ”

The breeze came slowly, and the candles in the hall flickered. The two swords intersected, making a sound of firelight. Everyone held their breath and watched the competition. Zhao Yong knew Tu Yi's methods, thought about Sima Wang, and prayed: "Wangclan, don't get hurt!" ”

In the face of a powerful and powerful opponent, Sima Wang's face was fearless, and while concentrating on dealing with it, looking for the flaws exposed by the opponent, he was thinking about how to deal with it. Sima Wangzu understands that he can't reverse his disadvantage with a passive defense.

This competition ended with the sword of the Sima Wang clan being snatched away and Tu Yi's long sword falling to the ground. Faced with such a result, Zhao Yong's face was overjoyed when he saw it. Childe Cheng closed his eyes and let out a lament. Others, not forgetting to give applause for this competition.

Tu Yi looked at the long sword he had snatched in his hand, and the sword body was engraved with the word Sima. He looked carefully at the young man in front of him, and his eyes showed very complicated emotions, and he asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?" Just now, my strength is a little off, and you're dead. ”

Sima Wangzu said with a smile: "There is no joy in life, and there is no fear in death." Being able to die under the sword of Tu Duwei is not in vain to travel in the next life. ”

"The competition between the two is quite exciting." Zhao Yong said with a smile: "Wang clan, I don't thank Captain Tu's subordinates for their mercy. ”

Sima Wangzu arched his hand and said, "Thank you to Tu Duwei." ”

Tu Duwei, pick up his long sword. Sima Wang also retrieved his long sword and returned to his seat.

Zhao Yong raised the wine bottle and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please." ”

The ministers raised the bottle together and replied, "Your Majesty, please." ”

As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy. Once people are happy, they will not be able to control their mouths. In this competition, Sima Wangzu gave him a long face, and Zhao Yong was very happy, so he drank a few more glasses.

After the ministers left, Zhao Yong took Sima Wang's hand and went to the inner hall.

"Slow down, gentleman. Be careful, touch. Mu Jian saw that Jun Shang's gait was unsteady, and reached out to help, "Jun Shang, you are drunk." ”

Zhao Yong, brushing away the other party's outstretched hand, said drunkly: "The widow is not drunk, not drunk." As he spoke, he went the other way. Sima Wangzu saw that Jun Shang had taken the wrong path, and hurriedly said: "Junshang, this is the way back to the inner hall." ”

Zhao Yong's body staggered and looked at the road, "Look at it, I don't know the way back." ”

"Wang, you're too long for me. I, rejoice, rejoice today. Uncle's face is too green. This old fox is always against me. No matter what I did, he wasn't satisfied. Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhao Yong stopped and said to him, "You, unhappy?" ”

Sima Wangzu smiled and said, "I'm happy." ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "I'm happy too?" ”

Settle down Zhao Yong.

Mu Jian said to Sima Wangzu: "Wangclan, you have also seen tonight's banquet, there are many people who bully the king." Jun Shang is very happy on the surface, but in his heart, he doesn't know how much pain and pain he hides. I haven't seen him smile since he left. Your Majesty, it's too bitter. Mu Jian sighed and continued: "Your Majesty, that immature heart bears the courage and audacity that should not be his age. My heart hurts to watch. Really afraid of him? Can't hold on. ”

Sima Wangzu looked at Zhao Yong, who was sleeping peacefully, and patted Mu Jian's shoulder, "For the ideal in my heart, I believe that no matter how hard and tired you are, your lord will hold on." ”
