Chapter 22 Xitai Martial Arts

Zhang Hao said loudly: "Your Highness's newly recognized county lord is out of the cabinet, such a big event, why don't you invite four officials?" Don't you look down on us? ”

Zhu Di didn't seem surprised. He stood up and glanced back at Concubine Xu. The intelligent Concubine Xu understood and also stood up. Zhu Di took Concubine Xu's hand, calmly walked to the front of the stage, looked at the four court officials, and said loudly:

"A few adults, this is called lonely and self-ashamed. Xiao Wang originally had the intention to invite the four adults to the banquet, but the marriage of his daughter was really a family matter, although it was a big deal in Lonely, it was not a matter related to the court society, and he was really afraid that several adults would be busy with official business and would not want to give me this face, so he didn't send an invitation. I would also like to ask for your forgiveness. ”

He turned around and said to Shen Ruoyu:

"Ruoxiao, you've come to meet the four adults. Qiu'er don't move. ”

Shen Ruoyu walked over, and after saluting, Zhang Xin said:

"I have heard that Yibin Lang is strong in martial arts and has a good demeanor, and he is really a talent."

Xie Gui said: "Yi Binlang is very familiar? ”

Zhu Di smiled: "That's nature; He was present when the four adults first met with Lone. ”

Jing Qing, who rarely spoke, smiled at this time: "His Royal Highness King Yan has such a master by his side, it is really like a tiger with wings." Now that they have become a family again, Yi Binlang must be even more loyal to His Royal Highness. ”

Zhu Di heard his voice, and smiled unconcernedly: "Of course, Xiao Wang's whole family must be loyal to the Son of Heaven." ”

Xie Gui said: "Your Highness, the four of us broke in in a hurry, and we had time to prepare congratulatory gifts in the future, and the last general only brought a few of his generals, and the last general temporarily thought that it would be better to let them play martial arts for His Highness, Niangniang, the county lord and the Yibin Lang, I don't know if His Highness agreed to let them sacrifice ugly?" ”

Zhu Di happily agreed: "Okay, of course it's great." I have heard for a long time that Lord Xie has countless elite soldiers, many good generals, such a good intention, and such a generous gift, Xiao Wang is just feasting his eyes with the princess, the county lord and the guest of honor, how can he not be unreasonable. Please start here, my lord, Lone can't wait to open his eyes. ”

He ordered the acrobatic artists on the stage to stand down, and ordered someone to bring four chairs to the four adults, invite them to sit down, and then take Concubine Xu and Shen Ruoyu back to their seats and sit down.

Two generals under Xie Gui jumped on the stage, one wielding a big sword and the other holding a spear, performing martial arts in a ping pong.

Zhu Di watched carefully with interest and applauded from time to time. The whole royal army in the audience watched silently at the martial arts on the stage. Several generals under Zhu Di gradually became a little angry. Xie Gui's intention was self-evident, it was nothing more than to take this opportunity to show off the martial arts of his generals, show the strength of his army, let King Yan understand that he was capable of suppressing the rebellion of the local vassal kings, and let His Royal Highness King Yan be honest.

After a while, two more generals jumped up, replaced the two just now, and continued to perform martial arts. Shen Ruoyu carefully watched these people come and go, and felt that their martial arts were just mediocre, but several people obviously thought that their level was good, and they all had arrogant and disdainful expressions on their faces, and they didn't salute King Yan and Princess Yan when they went on and off the stage. He saw Xie Gui and Zhang Hao constantly glancing at King Yan proudly. Around Xitai, a group of generals under Zhu Di, including the soldiers below, became more and more angry. Zhu Di didn't seem to feel anything, and still watched the martial arts with a smile, and seemed to be getting happier and happier.

Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore. With a flash of golden light, a long lance suddenly rose in the air, broke through the flying snowflakes, and advanced into the middle of the two generals who were performing martial arts on the stage, separating the two. Everyone was taken aback, but they saw Tan Yuan standing straight on the stage, with a long lance horizontally, blushing his face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which was always red, and said in a rough voice:

"The big day of the county lord and the guest of honor, I also asked Tan Yuan to help the prince and the mother."

With that, his arm shook, and the long lance stabbed at the military general on the left like lightning. The speed was so fast, before the general could react, the lance was already up to his waist. Tan Yuan laughed, and with a slight turn of the lance, he picked off a piece of iron on the man's armor and shouted:

"Look at it!"

Before he could finish speaking, the lance raised the door again. The military general flashed instinctively, stumbled slightly, Tan Yuan turned his wrist and smashed the spear in his hand, and before everyone had time to blink, the long lance had already stepped back, and the other military general who was about to sneak attack from behind was put on a fight.

The troops under King Yan who were watching in the audience applauded in unison; Zhu Di frowned slightly, and only a few people such as Concubine Xu, Shen Ruoxiao, Yuan Hui, Yao Biao and Dao Yan noticed it.

The military commander who broke his gun stepped down in disgrace. The military general who fell got up angrily, and the two generals who had just gone down for the first time jumped on the stage in anger, and the three of them attacked Tan Yuan together. Tan Yuan was not afraid, and responded to their attacks with contempt, appearing at ease. Soon, the three of them showed that they were not able to support themselves, and they were obviously not Tan Yuan's opponents together, and they only had the ability to parry, and they had no power to fight back. At this moment, a person jumped on the stage, jumped into the battle circle, separated the two parties, and hugged Zhu Di with his fist:

"The last general made a time, General Tan's lance is haunted, the last general sees him having fun, he can't help but itch in his heart, and he also wants to have a hand with General Tan, I don't know if His Royal Highness is gracious?"

It was Zhang Xin, who made the request, who was dressed in a Confucian scarf and Confucian uniform. Zhu Di paused slightly, and said happily:

"Lord Zhang has this Yaxing, which is also a blessing for Xiao Wang, and he can't ask for it."

Zhang Xin took out his portable sword, hugged his fist to Tan Yuan, who was draped all over his body, and said, "General Tan, please advise." ”

Tan Yuan didn't answer, and the long lance swept over; Zhang Xin jumped up lightly, bypassed the lance like a snake with a sword, and stabbed straight at Tan Yuan's wrist bone. Tan Yuan was slightly stunned, his forearm sank, and he raised the sword in the air, and then it became entangled, and it was difficult to separate for a while.

Zhu Di secretly smiled in the seat. Zhang Xin's martial arts are obviously not at the same level as the four generals just now, his skills are clean and light, his internal skills are not shallow, and he is on an equal footing with Tan Yuan, who is powerful and agile. Xie Gui's self-defeating show off of martial arts turned into a competition between the palace and the court, and Shen Ruoyu only felt that this wedding was becoming more and more exciting.

The two sides fought for a while, but it was still difficult to see the difference, but the agile and refined Zhu Neng jumped on the stage at this time, stopped Tan Yuan with a sword, and said with a smile:

"General Tan can't play alone to the end, you take a breath first, let's all have a good time." Thousands of households can make times, and after hearing the famous name of Lord Zhang for a long time, he will learn the martial arts of adults. ”

Previously, Zhu Neng and Yao Biao had brought a lot of good supplements to visit Zhang Xin's house and visited Zhang Xin's old mother. Obviously, Zhang Xin had a good impression of this, and when he saw Zhu Neng, he smiled modestly:

"General Zhu is polite and merciful."

He drew his sword politely; Zhu gave him a sword, calmly struck, and the sword went straight to Zhang Xin's throat. Zhang Xin was familiar with it, but Zhu Neng's sword blade reversed at the same time and stabbed towards the coercion. Zhang Xinting blocked it with his sword, and said in admiration:

"General Zhu is good at swordsmanship!"

The two swords are shining, and the two martial arts generals, one is wearing armor, the other is wearing a soft scarf and soft clothes, but their skills are obviously similar. Zhu Neng's calm and decisiveness, Zhang Xin's calm and introverted, the two of them have a tacit understanding and love each other like brothers from the same family. There was silence in the square, and a pin drop could be heard; Even the guards on the Duanli Gate Tower and the entire Nangong wall watched the competition on the Xitai with fascination, and the flagpoles all over the field stood still, only snowflakes fluttered; Everyone's hearts were full of nervousness.

Zhu Di observed Zhang Xin quietly, his skills, and every expression he had were seen by King Yan without omission, and he remembered it in his heart without leaving a trace.

The two of them fought for a long time, and it was difficult to distinguish between them; Qiu Fu, who couldn't hold back for a long time, finally jumped on the stage with a knife and shouted:

"General Zhu, it's time for me to make Qiu Fu, right?"

Zhu Neng stopped his sword, looked at Zhang Xin, who was sweating profusely like himself, and said with a smile:

"Agreed, Master Zhang."

Zhang Xin also saluted: "General Zhu's martial arts are strong, Zhang Xin is ashamed of himself." ”

"Come on, come on, compare with me Qiu Fu," Qiu Fu shouted, and he was about to make a move. Zhu Neng stopped him and said with a smile:

"General Qiu, this is not fair, Lord Zhang has already compared with General Tan and me, and then you have a trick with a well-fed person with enough strength, aren't you bent on taking advantage of others."

Zhu Di smiled approvingly. Qiu Fu was stunned and said:

"What then? Have you had so much fun that you have rested, so that I and the rest of the brothers can watch you be merry from below, itching to death, and not giving us a chance to play? ”

Zhu Neng looked at King Yan and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I don't think it's better to go down like this, let Lord Zhang go down to rest, and the last general and General Qiu continue to play, what does Your Highness think?" ”

Zhu Di smiled: "Good idea! Lonely Lao has long wanted to see a few of you learn from each other, so you're welcome, come one by one. Chen Qi, Zhang Wu, and you, all of them have to be on today, and don't want to leave any of them behind. Especially you, Shimei, you can't be less, I'm waiting to see you. ”

Zhang Xin walked off the stage, Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu looked at each other and smiled, and the two of Yan Wang's powerful generals were more powerful than martial arts. The whole audience and the soldiers on the tower were excited, and they kept cheering for both sides below.

Xie Gui and Zhang Hao's faces were not ugly. Originally, they wanted to show off their strength and give King Yan a little color, but they unexpectedly greatly underestimated the strength of the other party, and in the end they were taught a lesson by the other party. Now, the limelight of the whole scene has completely shifted to King Yan's side, and the generals competing on the stage have changed from their own side and the other party to people who are completely on the other side, and King Yan is showing off his superb martial arts to them, and there are so many generals around King Yan, each of them is a first-class level. Originally, he wanted to achieve the purpose of deterrence, but at this moment, King Yan just remained silent, and without even giving a word of instruction to his subordinates, he had completely reversed the situation, but instead formed a deterrent to himself. Zhang Hao and Xie Gui were extremely angry and unhappy in their hearts, but they couldn't show it, so they had to continue to watch the competition on the stage sullenly.

Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu competed for a while, then they were replaced by Chen Qi and continued to fight. Under the stage, the soldiers are already excited at the moment, just like the atmosphere on the martial arts training ground on weekdays, the left, middle and right guards are divided into three camps, each shouting and cheering for their leader, and each guard is divided into many small camps, each cheering for the thousands and hundreds of households above them, even the soldiers on the city tower are not to be outdone to join in, the entire Duanlimen Square is waving flags, shouting bursts, and it is very lively.

Shen Ruoyu sat on the stage, and was also deeply infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and couldn't help but admire King Yan more and more, admired every outstanding general under him, and admired everyone on the stage. He looked at Nangong Qiu, the unlucky Qiu'er was itchy listening to the excitement outside, but he didn't dare to lift the hijab to look, and he was sitting on pins and needles on the side. He reached over the table, took her little hand tightly in his hand, shook it, and stuffed two pieces of candy into it.

Seeing that almost all the generals had come to power, the soldiers below began to unite at this moment and shouted in unison:

"General Zhang and Lord Luo! General Zhang and Lord Luo! ——”

Zhang Yu and Luo Yang heard the call to themselves and looked at King Yan at the same time. Zhu Di smiled and said:

"Shimei, Luo Yang, Lone has been looking forward to the two of you for a long time. Let's go. Don't play with me. ”

The two of them walked to the center of the Hidai. Zhang Yu smiled:

"Lord Luo is in his prime, I have to ask you to let me have some old bones."

Luo Yang drew his sword, but threw it at his feet, and said with a smile:

"General Zhang is humble, and the juniors will ask you to take care of me."

Zhang Yu smiled, also threw his sword at his feet, and then pulled his steps, raised his hand, and slashed at Luo Yang's chest with one palm.

As sharp as lightning, as powerful as a giant axe; Luo Yang calmly stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhang Yu's wrist accurately, and spun it outward, Zhang Yu turned over and jumped quickly, the two fingers of his left hand went to Luo Yang's heart, but the hammer-like fist of his right hand swung from his left flank. Luo Yang was familiar with the road, and with his body lightly on one side, he pulled Zhang Yu's left hand to block his right fist. Zhang Yu laughed, Luo Yang couldn't help laughing, the two of them separated, looked at each other and laughed, and in a blink of an eye, they were entangled together, fists and palms resisted, and it was difficult to separate.

Shen Ruoyu looked at the competition between the two, and only felt that it was unprecedentedly enjoyable. The friendship duel between the two palace masters is exciting, and it is even better than the performance. The soldiers and civilians in the square watched with wide eyes as the two men fought each other, cheering again and again; The soldiers on the city tower were also in a hurry, and the drums were bursting, as if they were celebrating a festival.

After a long time, when the two of them were obviously tired, Zhu Di smiled:

"Alright, alright, let's rest."

The two people stopped, admired each other's martial arts, and thanked each other for their humility, both of which were sincere. Zhu Di smiled:

"All of them are extraordinary, all of them are martial gods, and they are all generals. You really make my heart flutter. What do you think, four adults? ”

Zhang Yu and Xie Gui replied coldly: "Your Highness's subordinates are indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." ”

Zhang Xin said sincerely: "There is a sky outside the sky; The last general is an eye-opener today. ”

Jing Qing also sighed: "Yes; His Royal Highness's elites are gathered, and if they can all be loyal to the Son of Heaven wholeheartedly, it will be a great blessing for me to be a great blessing for the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "That's nature; These people will definitely be the pillars of the Ming Dynasty in the future. I can assure the Son of Heaven. ”

Seeing that Zhang Yu and Luo Yang were about to go back to each other, I don't know who in the crowd suddenly shouted:

"Yi Bing Lang! ——”

As if an order was given, immediately all the soldiers and people shouted excitedly, even more excited than they had just shouted Zhang Yu and Luo Yang:

"Yi Bing Lang! Yi Bing Lang! ——”

Shen Ruoyu was slightly taken aback; He had expected that he would definitely be doomed in the end, and he would inevitably show his face, but the call to flood the entire square and even the entire Beiping still made him a little overwhelmed. Flags waved on the towers, and he saw the soldiers shouting for him to play as if they were cheering for victory. He glanced at King Yan in horror.

Zhu Di was looking at him and said with a smile:

"Listen, if you don't, this is the voice of your subjects. It's your turn. ”

Shen Ruoyu stood up, a little panicked. He said:

"Butβ€”to whom should I challenge? Lord Luo and General Zhang were already very tired. ”

Zhang Yu and Luo Yang laughed in unison: "Of course it's not us, we've already compared, not your opponent." ”

Qiu Fu shouted: "I'll come, I'll come!" I've rested. ”

He jumped on stage.

"Lord Yibinlang, General Zhang and Lord Luo are not your opponents, and I, Qiu Fu, are naturally even more defeated, but it is also a great blessing in life to see your martial arts. You're laughing. ”

Shen Ruoyu said in a panic: "General Qiu has been raised." Please also ask the general for advice. ”

Qiu Fu shouted, and his broad palm slashed towards him. The number one tiger general under King Yan, who was second only to Zhang Yu, was naturally not to be underestimated, Shen Ruoyu avoided the palm wind, raised his arm lightly, pressed down his right arm, and grabbed it towards his throat. Qiu Fu deftly sideways without any pause.

Shen Ruoyu secretly applauded while slowing down. As Yi Binlang, today's protagonist, he must win, even if it is for the sake of the face of King Yan and the bride; But he can't hurt Qiu Fu's face, after all, he is a general, and he is also the face of King Yan. He's got to find a way to win little by little.

However, Qiu Fu was obviously calculating, and after a few moves, he already felt that Shen Ruoxiao's strength was unfathomable, and suddenly his flaws were exposed. Shen Ruoyu didn't know why, so he punched it, but it hit Qiu Fu. He was shocked and immediately withdrew; Qiu Fu laughed and sat on the ground.

"Qiu Fu lost, Qiu Fu lost!" He shouted, "Where am I Yi Binlang's opponent, but I have gained insight and lost decently!" It's not in vain that I live in vain. ”

He got up, jumped off the stage happily, grabbed Zhu Neng and shouted:

"It's up to you, it's up to you, you go up and study."

Shen Ruoyu was still looking at Qiu Fu blankly, not understanding why he suddenly pretended to lose to him and jumped off the stage. Zhu Neng jumped on the wedding platform and smiled respectfully and quietly:

"Zhu Neng asks for advice with a shy face, please appreciate your face."

He swung his fist, but when his chest was bent, he turned into a palm wind and slashed towards his throat. This change was very fast, and a group of generals in the audience didn't see it very clearly. Shen Ruoyu sighed in admiration, but did not avoid it, but reached out two fingers and lightly tapped Zhu Neng's elbow. With just that, Zhu Neng's arm went limp and sank. He was slightly stunned, jumped back, withdrew, looked at Shen Ruoliao, and bowed his head respectfully and said:

"The great talent is the martial god; Zhu Neng's five-body throw to the ground, which is unattainable. Master Xie showed mercy. ”

After saying that, he jumped off the wedding platform.

Shen Ruoyu was dumbfounded. At that point, he was light and light, knowing that this was a winning blow, for fear that the strength would be too heavy and hurt Zhu Neng, but Zhu Neng noticed that he intended to give in. General Zhu's martial arts are also excellent, in Shen Ruoyu's opinion, it should be above Qiu Fu, how can he be the same as Qiu Fu, just after a quick move, he automatically withdrew?

The next person to come to the stage was Chen Qi, after two moves, Shen Ruoyu just found out that he was strong in martial arts, probably on par with Zhu Neng, but Chen Qi was also willing to bow down early, jumped down, and pushed Tan Yuan up.

At this moment, Shen Ruoyu had already guessed the reason, and the soldiers and people watching the martial arts in the square and on the city tower also saw the clues. Yi Binlang deliberately made concessions, and several generals were even more so. After all, today, Yi Binlang is the protagonist, and he must not steal the limelight from Yi Binlang. No matter how high his martial arts are, he can't withstand so many people taking turns tossing, and he is exhausted, and the cave room is boring at night.

The angry Tan Yuan also understands this truth, the opponent is the son-in-law of the prince, and he doesn't care about his own win or loss, like the brothers who have already demonstrated before, two moves are enough for him to understand Shen Ruoyu's hidden power, and then retreat in the face of difficulties, admit defeat calmly like a hero, hug his fists and thank Yi Binlang, and then stepped down with a smile.

Shen Ruoyu was a little helpless. He is not the head of the army, and even if he is, it is not his turn to teach these outstanding generals a lesson, and send them away with two moves for each point. The kindness of these generals made him feel that he was not very kind and a little embarrassed.

Seeing that the generals under King Yan had fought with Yi Binlang one by one, Zhu Di smiled and said:

"Ruo Liao, tired, right? Come back and rest. At night, you have to go to the cave room to save some effort. ”

King Yan also made jokes about him in public. Shen Ruoyu's face flushed. He wiped the snow that had melted on his face, and was about to walk back, when suddenly, among the noisy people in the audience, a voice shouted:

"Wait! I'm here to do two tricks with you! ”

A white figure soared into the air, jumped through the heavy snow, jumped over the crowd, and landed steadily on the wedding platform.
