Chapter 52 [Chu Palace Storm] (I)
I didn't make any dodging movements at all, and my gaze was like an ancient well, and I couldn't find any fear in it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info My calm was obviously beyond Ji Ting's expectations, the bronze sword that was about to come to my chest suddenly froze for a moment, and then continued to stab at my chest, and it was this moment of hesitation that I had completely grasped. My body suddenly shifted sideways, staggering Ji Ting's sword edge, and my right hand reached out like lightning, grabbing his wrist with unmistakable accuracy. With a strong pull in my arms, his knees were already pressed against Ji Ting's lower abdomen.
This series of movements is not the Yue Nu swordsmanship taught by Qingqing, but the hand-to-hand combat skills that I brought from modern society. After practicing the Yue Nu Sword, after many actual battles of life and death, my strain has already made a substantial leap, and the opponent I faced was Ji Ting, a mediocre player who was not very clever.
With Ji Ting's muffled snort, I snatched the bronze sword with my hand and threw it aside, I didn't want to give the Chu people a chance to frame me for carrying a sharp weapon and intending to assassinate.
Ji Ting covered his lower abdomen and looked at me with a pale face, he was defeated by me in one move in front of everyone, and the weapon in his hand was also taken away by me, which is tantamount to a great shame for a samurai. Ji Ting still wanted to rush towards me, but was grabbed by Zining.
Several warriors of the Chu State approached me at the same time, and I sneered: "The Chu State is really a big country with a large population, do you want to rely on more to win?" ”
Zi Ning said calmly: "Stand down, let me ask General Lu for two tricks." He walked forward slowly, a suffocating pressure coming over me from all sides.
Ji and Yue wanted to speak, but they were stopped by my gaze, and what they said in the situation in front of them seemed to have no effect on the bad situation.
Zining's gaze fell on the bronze sword on the ground: "Please!" He slowly drew the bronze sword from his waist.
I nodded, although Zining was not friendly to me, he seemed to be more reasonable than other Chu people, and he was okay on the whole.
I leaned over to pick up the bronze sword, Ji Ting's eyes looked at me with resentment, and the hatred of this narrow-minded villain for me was obvious.
The tip of the bronze sword in Zi Ning's hand was downward, and he arched his hand towards me with both hands holding the hilt, his calm gaze instantly became sharp, and the powerful momentum suddenly pressed towards my body.
I smiled and said, "General Zining is much better than that Xiao Cavalry Guard!" The calm words angered Ji Ting again, but Zining couldn't help but be moved, and under his strong pressure, I still talked and laughed.
Zi Ning raised the bronze sword with both hands and slashed down at me, in the face of his powerful attack, I had already made sufficient psychological preparations, as an envoy of the Yue Kingdom, I must not lose half a step to him in terms of momentum, so I must adopt a hard-hitting style of play, and I must give up the lightness and elegance of the Yue Nu sword.
I condensed the strength of my whole body, and I also held the sword with both hands and went towards Zi Ning with all my strength, the two swords collided in the void, making a deafening metal impact, my and Zi Ning's bodies shook slightly, and the eyes that met each other showed appreciation, Zi Ning deserved to be a first-class swordsman in Chu State, and his strength was much higher than Ji Ting.
At the moment when the two swords were deadlocked, Zi Ning whispered in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "Brother Lu, let's leave......"
I was shocked in my heart, and I could see some kind of indescribable complex taste in his gaze, could it be that Zi Ning couldn't help himself, he didn't want to attack me, the blades of the two swords rubbed, bursting out a few sparks, and our muscles trembled with the friction, but we couldn't find any killing intent in each other's eyes.
There was infinite concern in her beautiful eyes, and her lips had completely lost their blood, if I had any mistakes in this battle, I believe she would not have lived alone in this world.
Zi Ning and I have been fighting for dozens of rounds with a tacit understanding, Zi Ning's swordsmanship is among the best among the younger generation of Chu State, seeing the win-win fight between him and me, those people, including Ji Ting, gradually put away their contempt and contempt for me.
Youqi, who had been silent for a long time, saw that he had been fighting for a long time, and finally spoke: "The envoy of the Yue Kingdom dares to be rude to this palace, take him down for me, put him in prison, and wait for his fate!" ”
This old bitch is clearly encouraging those Chu State warriors to rush up and take me down with all the outnumbered, which is really despicable to the extreme.
Zi Ning's eyes showed a look of helplessness, and he pursed his lips, it seems that his position has always been on Youji's side.
Ji Ting led the samurai to surround me.
Ji and Yue angrily reprimanded: "Queen, after you are a country, you actually did such a thing behind the back of the king, do you really want to provoke a dispute between the two countries?" ”
You Qi sneered: "Now I'm afraid it's not your turn to teach me a lesson, the king is now seriously ill, since you took out the king to press me, it shows that you are sincere to the king, since this is the case, I will fulfill you!" ”
At this time, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the palace gate: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ”
Everyone was shocked, and Youqi's face instantly showed a look of panic.
The reason why I asked Mi Yong to enter the Chu Palace with Sima Ziqi to treat King Chu Zhao was to investigate the actual condition of King Chu Zhao, and secondly, to wait for the opportunity to approach the Queen Mother and inform her of the dilemma that our party is facing now.
The palace door was wide open, and with the support of a group of palace maids, Meng Ying, the Empress Dowager of Chu, walked into Luyang Palace with an indifferent face.
I quietly looked at this famous Qin Guoqi woman in the annals of history, but saw that this glamorous beauty, now she is old and red, more than a year old, like clouds and sideburns have been gray, only a pair of phoenix eyes are still clear, from which you can see a little bit of her demeanor back then, but the girl next to her attracted my attention, the girl is slender, black hair is like a cloud, the complexion is as delicate as milk, the beautiful eyes are like two clear springs, the bridge of the nose is high, the cherry lips are full, and there is an indescribable luxury in the expression. I think it's also a certain princess of Chu State.
You Qi was obviously quite in awe of the Empress Dowager of Chu, her pretty face showed a look of panic, and her head also lowered slightly, and she said softly: "See the queen mother's ......"
Meng Ying snorted coldly, his eyes looked around at the Chu State warriors around him, and finally landed on Ji Ting's face, and he scolded angrily: "What to do? When is this your own home? Who let you in with swords? ”
Ji Ting's face turned pale with fright, and he fell to the ground on his knees: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins!" ”
Meng Ying said coldly: "I'm just an old lady who is dying, how can I have the ability to punish your crimes!" This sentence clearly accuses Ji Ting of guilt.
Youqi hurriedly spoke: "You don't hurry up and retreat!" ”
That Ji Ting dared to stand up with her words, and fled outside Luyang Palace with a group of subordinates, and Zi Ning also turned around after saluting Meng Ying.
Empress Dowager Chu Meng Ying came to the front of the seventh princess Ji and Yue, Ji and Yue knelt down to her obediently, wanting to salute, but Meng Ying held her wrist, sighed softly and said: "Child, I have wronged you......"
Hearing her say this, Ji and Yue's eyes couldn't help but turn red, since we entered Chu, we have been treated rudely by the Chu people, and we have not heard a warm word until now.
I secretly put my mind at ease, faintly felt something strange, subconsciously looked up, and met the curious eyes of the girl next to the Empress Dowager of Chu, she obviously didn't expect that my secret observation of me would be caught by me, her pretty face immediately turned red, her eyes looked to the side, I was secretly funny in my heart, I didn't expect me to be so feminine.
Meng Ying said coldly to Youqi: "My son is seriously ill, but you are doing some boring things here, do you still have him in your heart?" ”
"Queen Mother, you know that you are wrong, I will go over." You Ji didn't dare to entangle any longer, and hurriedly left with his own people.
Ji and Yue said softly: "Queen Mother, what is the condition of the king?" "This is not only Ji and Yue, but also the thing that I and everyone from Yue are most concerned about.
Meng Ying sighed softly: "You will know these things soon." Her gaze turned to me and said, "You are the marriage envoy of the Yue Kingdom?" ”
I nodded and said respectfully: "The little tortoise sees the Queen Mother!" He knelt down according to the etiquette.
Meng Ying waved his hand and said, "Get up, there is a warrior like you in the Yue Kingdom, no wonder the national strength will recover so quickly!" ”
I stood up.
Meng Ying said: "Because of my prince's illness, I am upset, and I can't take care of many things, so I let you guests receive such a cold reception, all of this is our fault, I will apologize to King Yue when you go back." ”
It is indeed commendable to be able to say these words in her capacity, which is equivalent to an apology between countries, with her words, I think that in the future, King Goujian will not be held accountable, I said respectfully: "The Queen Mother is polite." ”
Meng Ying said: "After this marriage, the relationship between Yue and Chu will go further, and the friendship between Chu and Yue will never change. ”
These words are polite words for communication between countries, of course I won't believe it, and I won't take it seriously if I think of Meng Ying, in my impression, in the end, the Yue State was still destroyed by the Chu State, of course, this is many years later.
I said respectfully: "After I go back, I will definitely tell the queen mother what she said to the king." ”
"I'm sorry for you!" Although Meng Ying is the empress dowager of Chu State, her speech and demeanor are much gentler than Youqi, after all, she has experienced countless ups and downs in her life, and her mind and vision are not comparable to ordinary women.
Meng Ying turned to the girl beside him and said, "Win mercy, you accompany the Seventh Princess to Ningshou Palace to rest." ”
I looked at Ji and Yue with some reluctance, since Meng Ying appeared, Ji and Yue never looked at me again, nodded slightly, put their arms on the crook of Qi Yan's arm, and Ying Lian stepped forward to hold Ji and Yue's other arm.
Yingluo wanted to follow, but Meng Ying's calm gaze quickly swept over her pretty face, revealing a look of surprise: "Are you from the Ba tribe?" ”
Yingluo was slightly stunned, and stood there at a loss for a while, not knowing how to answer.
I secretly screamed in my heart, how could I be so confused, forget Yingluo's identity, she is a Ba girl, in the eyes of the Chu people, her status is low, I took her to the palace of the king of Chu, will this behavior be regarded as some kind of disrespect?
Ji and Yue said in time: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, she is the Ba girl I rescued on the way, I saw that her parents were dead and lonely, so I took her by my side as my handmaiden." ”
Meng Ying smiled with a slight disgust: "You kid, you are really kind-hearted. She frowned slightly and said, "However, with her status, it is still not suitable to stay in the palace." ”
I hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, I will take her away." ”
Yingluo's beautiful eyes were full of tears, as if she couldn't bear to leave Hi and Yue, she was always serving by her side these days, and the relationship between the two became more and more profound, thinking that the parting was imminent, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Meng Ying sighed softly and said, "Win mercy, you still send General Lu out of the palace, and the matter of receiving him is directly handed over to Pu Zixuan." ”
After I said goodbye to the Empress Dowager Meng Ying, I walked out of Luyang Palace with Yingluo and Yinglian, the sky was cloudy, my heart was also full of melancholy, and I couldn't help but turn around and look in the direction of Luyang Palace, but I saw that Ji and Yue had already walked to the east of Chu Palace with Meng Ying, she was talking to Meng Ying, her eyes never glanced at me, and I wanted to compare, she was more able to control her feelings.
A pleasant voice came to mind behind me, "What? Or are you reassured by the princess? ”
I turned around, my eyes fell on the intoxicating pretty face like a begonia, and said with a slight smile: "What happened after coming to Chu State really makes me not feel at ease. ”
Ying Lian couldn't help laughing, and she said softly, "You're really funny. ”
This time it was my turn to be surprised: "I don't think I have seen you before......"
Ying Lian nodded slightly: "That's nature!" ”
I searched in my mind little by little for my impression of her, which princess of Chu was she, was she the daughter of King Chu Zhao or his sister-in-law? No, King Chu Zhao should have been surnamed Xiong, but her name was Ying Lian, I suddenly thought that Meng Ying was the sister of Qin Aigong, and should also be surnamed Ying, could it be that this beauty in front of me was not a Chu person at all but a princess of Qin State, Meng Ying's maiden relative? Thinking of this, I boldly speculated: "It turns out that you are not a Chu person either!" ”
Ying Lian was slightly stunned, seeing her reaction, I had already confirmed my speculation, and continued: "Miss Ying Lian is a Qin person! ”
There was a hint of appreciation in Ying Lian's beautiful eyes, and she nodded lightly and said, "General Lu is really a different character. ”
I laughed, and after knowing that she was not the princess of Chu State, the fear in my heart naturally decreased a lot, and I walked side by side with her outside the palace.
