Wu Batu was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and he even wanted to cry. He has never been so aggrieved since he was a child, and he wanted to vent his anger when he was angry, but people didn't even give him a chance.

Winning or losing is at this moment, the rules are the rules, no matter how Wu Batu roars, Zhang Ruming still returned to his seat like a winner. Although the Great Xia side lost one game first, those who knew that the balance of victory was in favor of the Great Xia side. Especially the bright moon of Tantai, there were even tears of excitement in her eyes.

Li Jianshan appeared for the second time, and in the face of a tall and strong opponent, Li Jianshan made a few tentative moves. The opponent is practicing kung fu all over his body, and this kind of striking is simply tickling. In the disdainful eyes of his opponent, Li Jianshan suddenly changed his moves, and the vicious methods of the Investigation Department immediately appeared on him. kicked his crotch and cut his neck into his eyes, knocking the Moro guards to the ground in a few clicks.

Li Jianshan glanced at Duan Lang demonstratively, it means that it depends on you. The corners of Duan Lang's mouth curved into an arc, but his eyes looked at the bright moon of the platform. Although the gambling agreement between the two sides cannot be said to be true, under the witness of Tai Hongshi, at least Wu Batu can return empty-handed.

Wu Batu's whole person seemed to be sluggish, he only had the dead bald head on the other side in his eyes, and he had long since stopped paying attention to the gambling contract. Wu Batu came to Beiming this time, it was not for the beauty of Princess Mingyue, as the crown prince, there is no shortage of stunning women around Wu Batu. Although the Moro Kingdom was strong, it was also subject to the two-front attack of Western Vietnam and Northern Ming. This time, the prince came to propose marriage, but also to temporarily appease the Northern Ming, so that the Moro Kingdom could free up troops to attack Western Yue. As for whether he can marry Tangtai Mingyue, it doesn't matter to Wu Batu at all. His purpose was to make Beiming feel that the Moro Kingdom was courting it.

Duan Lang stood in the arena, facing the tall and broad Moro Kingdom guards, he had the feeling of facing a big bear back then. There is no suspense in this battle, the other party is not a master of the Moro Kingdom, and in the face of Duan Lang, who has been fighting in the mountains and forests for more than ten years, he doesn't even have a chance to sneak attack. What's more, after Zhou Guangji's special training, Duan Lang practiced diligently every day and didn't dare to slack off. Because Duan Lang knew that even if there was a little more strength between life and death, a fingertip speed faster than the other party, it would be possible to crawl back from the gate of hell.

After three competitions, there was no cheer or applause, and everyone's eyes looked at Wu Batu in a daze.

Although Yutai Hongshi was happy in his heart, he still showed a little embarrassment on his face, and said, "The third game has passed, Your Highness Wu Batu, you have lost." ”

Wu Batu was slightly stunned, as if he had woken up from his sluggishness. After the shouting and cursing just now, Wu Batu also calmed down a lot. But in his calm eyes, he was full of vicious murderous aura.

"Lord of the Taiwan Kingdom, I am willing to lose the bet, although I failed to marry Princess Mingyue as I wished, but my intention to marry the Moro Kingdom has arrived. In order to show the sincerity of our Moro country, this prince can promise to reduce the garrison on the border, leaving only 20,000 soldiers and horses to maintain, you see. ”

Yutai Hongshi was slightly stunned, his eyes suddenly flashed brightly, and Tangtai Hongshi stood up and said with a smile, "This is very good, the emperor will also give an order to stay with the same troops to maintain the stability of the border." Let him go over if he was unhappy just now, come on, come on, the emperor and you will have a few drinks today. ”

Wu Batu sneered, "There's no need to drink bitterly, this prince is in poor health and has taken his leave." ”

Wu Batu's face was gloomy, he glanced at the two embarrassed guards, turned around and walked out. After taking a few steps, Wu Batu stopped and looked at Zhang Ruming.

"The envoy of Great Xia, between us, this is just the beginning." A sentence came out of his teeth.

Zhang Ruming pursed his lips, "Get out, don't be embarrassed here." ”

"Okay, you wait for me."

Wu Batu gritted his teeth and walked out. Yutai Hongshi didn't stop him, and he didn't say anything more. He knew that Wu Batu and this Great Xia envoy had formed a mortal enmity. Even if he, the lord of the country, wants to make peace, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it.

A farce has come to an end, if it is said that it is a fight between civilians that does not matter, but the identity of the people involved is special, and a bad one will make the three kingdoms hostile, and even cause war. The officials of Beiming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, the biggest gainer of this farce is Beiming. Especially the last few words of Wu Batu, let all the hanging hearts go back. These big men are really worried that the fire at the city gate will affect the pond fish, and Great Xia has provoked the Moro Kingdom, and it must be them Beiming who will suffer.

As soon as Wu Batu left, the atmosphere in the Imperial Garden suddenly became lively. A big stone also fell in his heart, Mingyue was his most beloved daughter, and Tai Hongshi himself didn't want to agree to marry. It's just that this problem involves too much of a wide range, and for the sake of the overall situation of the entire Beiming Dynasty, Tai Hongshi had to agree. Unexpectedly, this Great Xia envoy's seemingly crazy style actually solved a very difficult problem for Beiming.

Yutai Hongshi was in a good mood, stood up and raised the wine glass in his hand, glanced at everyone gently, and finally fell on Zhang Ruming.

"Shangguan envoy, this glass of wine is a tribute to you. If it weren't for the righteous insistence of the Shangguan envoys, my Northern Ming and Great Xia would not have the peace they have today. Tonight's gambling game seems to be a personal grudge between you and Wu Batu, but it actually solves a big problem for me Beiming. Come, dry this glass of wine, and the door of Beiming will always be open for you. ”

Zhang Ruming, Duan Lang and others stood up one after another, and Zhang Ruming replied, "The lord of Yutai does not have to be polite, the peace of Yushanguan is also the benevolence of the lord of the country and His Majesty of my family, which is really the luck of all the people." I don't dare to be greedy for merit, if I really have merit, it is also Princess Mingyue and my brother Duan Lang who have contributed the most. If it weren't for the two of them, the flames of war would have been ignited long ago. This first glass of wine is still a tribute to two meritorious people. ”

Yutai Hongshi was slightly stunned, and looked at Duan Lang, but he didn't expect that this chief of the guard would actually be commensurate with the Shangguan Xuanwu brothers. The verbal battle between Zhang Ruming and Wu Batu just now has already shown his special status in Great Xia, and it seems that everyone in this small team is not simple.

Yutai Hongshi smiled heartily, "Okay, then the emperor will respond to the proposal of the Shangguan envoy, and this glass of wine will be for my Xiao Mingyue and Commander Duan, everyone will make this cup." ”

Yutai Mingyue's eyebrows lingered, looking at Duan Lang's majestic posture, he raised his glass slightly, and drank it all in one heart. Removed the haze in his heart, and a rare smile appeared on Mingyue's face.

The banquet lasted very late, and Yutai Hongshi was drunk while being happy, and was helped back to the harem. The Beiming officials also pushed the cups and changed the lamps with Zhang Ruming and others, fighting the amount of wine. Li Jianshan was a little overwhelmed, but found that at some point, Duan Lang had disappeared.

In the pavilion in the depths of the Imperial Garden, Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue stood side by side, looking at the sea of flowers blown by the breeze. With a hint of wine, her face was rosy and a little shy.

Duan Lang looked around and said softly, "Mingyue, this is the Imperial Garden, you brought me here without fear of being seen?" ”

Yutai Mingyue smiled, "Just because it's an imperial garden, I'm not afraid." Brother Duan, thank you for untying my knot. Otherwise, Mingyue really doesn't know what it will look like in the future. ”

Duan Lang said with a smile, "Breaking someone's marriage will be retributed, besides, if you can't marry in the future, don't blame me." ”

"Even if I am an old girl, I don't want to marry someone I don't like against my will. The children of Beiming have always dared to love and hate when riding horses and shooting, but when it comes to me, they can't help themselves. Sometimes, Mingyue really wants to give up this princess status and go to the tribe to be a heroic female knight. I can shed my blood for my tribe, or I can give up everything to wander the world for the sake of my beloved. The bright moon looked into the distance resentfully.

Duan Lang also said with emotion, "You are right, the temple is not a comfortable place. When I was in the mountains and forests, the first thing I thought about was how to survive. My dad said that only by living can you continue the thoughts in your heart. In order to live better, I was forced to face all kinds of beasts since I was a child. After walking out of the mountains, I also envied the comfortable life of those wealthy families. But when you actually enter it, you find that it is just another forest. The beasts above the temples are more dangerous, and their way of eating people is more cruel than that of the mountains and forests. ”

Tantai Mingyue looked up at Duan Lang's wild and charming face, and suddenly asked, "Brother Duan, have you ever thought about what will happen in the future?" Whether to continue to be an official, or to live a happy life in seclusion in the mountains and forests. ”

Duan Lang was slightly stunned, his face showed a trace of helplessness, his road was still very long, and the Duan family had to claim compensation for his blood feud. Even if he didn't remember what his biological parents and grandfather looked like, since he had the Duan family's blood, he had the obligation to resist this responsibility. Otherwise, the spirit of the parents in heaven will not agree.

"Mingyue, I didn't think about this, and I didn't dare to hope for that kind of comfortable life. There are some things that Uncle Seven knows, and I have to accomplish something. Regardless of the outcome, it's my fate. Maybe one day I'll be gone, and I hope you can remember having a friend like me. ”

"Brother Duan, don't let you say that, Cangsheng Heaven will bless you with peace and sound." Yutai Mingyue said seriously.

Duan Lang smiled slightly, "Life and death are fate, and I am no exception, it's just that I hope that when that day comes, I have no regrets in my heart." ”

"You won't, Mingyue will pray for you every day, and wish Brother Duan immortality."

"Silly girl, how can there be no fault in this world~."

Before Duan Lang's word 'death' could be spoken, he was pressed to his mouth by the jade hand of Tangtai Mingyue, "Don't say this word." ”

Duan Lang was stunned for a moment, reached out to hold the delicate wrist of Tangtai Mingyue, and smelled the faint fragrance coming from his hand, Duan Lang couldn't help but bite it gently.

"Ah~!" Yutai Mingyue's body stiffened, and she quickly withdrew her arm. Tai Mingyue's heart was pounding, and her eyes didn't dare to look at Duan Lang anymore.

"Duan~ Brother Duan, it's not too early, let's hurry over." Tantai Mingyue's face was dizzy, and she was careful that her liver was about to pop out.

Duan Lang was also embarrassed and a little at a loss, he was a rookie in this regard, and he thought that he was scared of Mingyue, so he hummed twice and hurriedly walked out.

At the end of the banquet, Zhang Ruming and Li Jianshan were carried to the car by everyone. The two of them vomited all the way, and they shouted that they wanted to fight with others. After settling the two wine halos, Duan Lang immediately summoned everyone over.

Duan Lang informed the matter and arranged, "Xusheng, you and Zhiliang are working hard, you must be on guard in the past two days." Don't look at this is the capital of Beiming Kingdom, we can only rely on our own people in terms of safety. After suffering such a great humiliation, Wu Batu will definitely not give up. ”

"Don't worry, Commander, just now I saw that the front yard has been equipped with additional guards, and all of our people have withdrawn to the inner courtyard. They don't have many people in the Moro country, and that guy really dares to mess around, and he promises that he won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

"Okay, I'll adjust Shangguan's bedroom later. Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and if you offend people, we have to be prepared. ”

Duan Lang finished arranging and personally arranged several important sentry posts. After surveying the inside and out, I returned to the bedroom with confidence.

In the post house of Moro Kingdom, Wu Batu didn't know how many tea cups were broken. Today's shame is worse than the smashing of a few blood bags on his head. This is not only his own business, but also the entire royal family of Moro Country.

Vubatu's anger continued as a man in a robe walked in. Seeing Wu Batu, the man knelt down and saluted.

"Zarhan sees His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what His Highness has to call urgently, what do you order?"

Vubatu stood up, "Zarhan, get up. The bastard who attacked Prince Ben has been found, so get your men all assembled and on standby. ”

"What? Your Highness has found the murderer? Where the man is, Zarhan will bring people to arrest him, and His Highness will kill him with his own hands. Zarhan stood up and said.

Zar Khan, as the fourth-grade sword guard of the Moro Kingdom, was also the commander of the guards who secretly entered the Northern Ming Dynasty this time. Wu Batu went to chase the deer park and didn't greet them at all. When Zarhan later learned that the crown prince had been attacked, he was also scared into a cold sweat.

"Zarhan, the bastard who attacked the crown prince, is simply an envoy of the Great Xia Kingdom. Tonight in the Imperial Garden, that bastard almost didn't piss off Prince Ben. Give me the order that no matter what the cost, you must behead that bastard. ”

Zarhan was shocked in his heart, "The envoy of Great Xia? Are you sure, Your Highness? ”

"Lao Tzu can recognize his bones after picking his skin, that bastard not only sneaked up on Prince Ben, but also almost ruined the great affairs of my Moro country." Wu Batu angrily told the matter of the Imperial Garden.

When Zarhan heard this, anger also rose in his heart. This humiliation is not just a personal grudge, it has already involved the faces of both countries.

"Your Highness, Xianglu City is the capital of the Northern Ming Kingdom, and there are only about thirty people under it, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do it here. Once the Beiming patrol guards are alarmed, not only will they startle the snakes, but they are likely to expose us. Zarhan said calmly.

"I don't care, if he doesn't die, you can come and see him."

Zarhan clenched his fists, "Your Highness, rest assured, such a great humiliation must be repaid with blood." It's just that this place is not the Moro Kingdom after all, and the subordinates feel that it is not too late to wait for them to leave Xianglu City. If the envoys of Great Xia want to return, they must take the Gutun Road when they leave Xianglu City. It is more than 50 miles away from Xianglu City, and the road is lined with hills, which is very suitable for ambush. ”

Wu Batu was stunned, thought for a while and said, "You are right, Lao Tzu was almost carried away by anger. The status of the Great Xia envoys is not ordinary, and the Northern Ming will definitely focus on protection. In addition, that bastard's status in Great Xia doesn't seem to be low, and killing him is likely to cause Great Xia's wrath. Zarhan, take all my retinue with you, and your Highness will only have four guards. His Royal Highness Ming Japan leaves first, you people, you must kill those bastards in Great Xia. ”

"Your Highness, no, your safety is paramount, and your subordinates are enough to take them down. Besides, your retinue is on the bright side, and reducing your retinue will definitely arouse their suspicion. ”

Wu Batu thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Zarhan, what you brought are your father's personal attendants, don't insult the dignity of my Moro country." If you let the people of Bactria go, you will not return to Moro alive. ”

"No! The subordinates swore to kill the big summer Xiaoxiao, and His Royal Highness could rest assured. Zarhan said with his fists clenched.

Wu Batu let out a long breath, and his mentality gradually calmed down. Don't look at the fact that there are only about thirty people in Zarhan, he knows that these are all internal guard masters carefully selected by his father. Moro is not afraid that Beiming will openly turn his face, but he is worried that someone will secretly do it. So in the event of an accident, these people can completely protect Wu Batu from Beiming. Vubatu trusted them, let alone set up an ambush in secret.

A day later, the prince of Moro, Wu Batu, was the first to leave Xianglu City. Wu Batu's movements affect many people, whether it is Duan Lang and others, or the lord of the Northern Ming Dynasty, they are all paying attention to Wu Batu. Especially the seventh uncle, Han Feng, was instructed by the Ming Moon of Tantai to keep a close eye on Wu Batu. Seeing Wu Batu leave Xianglu City according to the route of travel, Han Feng immediately sent secret agents to follow them all the way to prevent them from changing halfway.

Wu Batu's departure made Duan Lang's nervous heart relax slightly. He is not afraid, but he is always remembered, and he is always worried about negligence.

Two days later, the peace alliance between Great Xia and Northern Ming agreed on all the provisions. The covenant was made in duplicate, and Shangguan Xuanwu stamped the seal of the Qin Cha on behalf of Great Xia. However, this pact must be returned to Kyoto and officially stamped with a jade seal before it can take effect. The role of the envoys was to approve the provisions of the covenant on behalf of Bactria This will not change.

The prince of the Moro Kingdom, Yutai Tassel, took the civil and military officials to personally escort the envoy team out of the city gate. Looking at the mighty send-off procession, Duan Lang was a little lost. Since the farewell of the Imperial Garden that night, he has not seen the bright moon of the Tai Tai again. In the past few days, because he was worried about Zhang Ruming's safety, Duan Lang followed him every step of the way, and he didn't have time to go to Uncle Seventh to ask about the situation. Duan Lang thought that Tangtai Mingyue would come to see them off, but he was disappointed, there was no figure of Tangtai Mingyue in Beiming's send-off procession.

"Brother Duan, don't look at it, she is a princess, we should help too, after all, the identities are different." Li Jianshan looked at the absent-minded Duan Lang and comforted.

"Brother Li, I really miss her a little." Duan Lang said unabashedly.

"Alas~! I advise you to forget about it, and think it's a dream. ”

Duan Lang smiled bitterly, "I've never felt this way before, forget it, I don't want to." ”

After Duan Lang finished speaking, a dozen horses ran forward, and he suddenly found that there was an indelible figure in his heart. Especially when Tai Mingyue didn't come to say goodbye, Duan Lang's heart was very sour.

Next to the Gutun Road leading from the Northern Ming Dynasty to Great Xia, Zarhan stood on a sand dune on horseback. They have received news that the envoys of Great Xia have returned today, and the hidden power of the Moro Kingdom has been lurking here early.

A fast horse rushed towards this side, and Zarhan was wearing Beiming's battle robe, looking at it coldly.

The war horse came to Zarhan's side, and the man on the horse dismounted and reported, "Lord Qiqi, the chariots and horses of Great Xia are less than fifteen miles away from here. ”

"How many of them are there?"

"There was only one car and more than a dozen people escorting it. In addition, behind the Great Xia procession, there was a chariot and horse caravan. ”

"Caravans? Which font size? "Zarhan does not miss a single suspicious place.

"It is the name of the West Yue Kingdom. However, this is the main road to Great Xia, and it is normal to have caravans. ”

"Western Vietnamese? Hum! Kill them all! Let's get back and wait. ”

When Zarhan had given his order, the spy answered, mounted his horse and ran behind a mound.

Behind the mound, more than thirty big men were sitting or standing, each exuding a killing intent on their bodies. These elites of the Moro Nation have been battle-hardened, and the blood on their hands has made them cold and ruthless.

Daxia's carriages and horses were moving slowly, and Liu Xusheng and the others could see that the commander was in a bad mood, and no one in the team spoke. However, Li Jianshan and Zhang Ruming exchanged ears, and the two of them got on and off the horse, laughing dirtily from time to time.

Duan Lang walked at the front of the team, looking at the vast world, Duan Lang's mood gradually calmed down. Li Jianshan is right, they are noble princesses, or they can only maintain a longing for each other. Duan Lang knew that he still had a lot of things to do, so he could only treasure this miss for the time being.

The convoy quickly entered Gutun Road, and looking at the rolling mounds on both sides, Duan Lang suddenly thought of the big bear. It's been almost a year since I left Fengluan Mountain, and I don't know if Big Bear is okay now.

Suddenly, Duan Lang's ears moved, and his eyes looked at a mound on the right. Duan Lang heard the sound of the weapon being withdrawn, and even he smelled a trace of old blood.

"Be careful, there's an ambush!"

As soon as Duan Lang's words fell, a sharp arrow shot at Zhang Ruming, who was sticking out of the window and looking at the mountain scenery.

(Tomorrow Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and good luck.) The past two days have been busy, and it was sent relatively late, if there are any mistakes in the plot, please forgive me. ）
