Chapter 154: History of the Spring and Autumn War (3)

The strange halberd approached him silently. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Suddenly.

The halberd slashed, and there was a terrible sound of breaking the air. But Xiao Wuji's imaginary splattering of flesh and blood did not happen, and the black-armored man turned around with a sword, and directly cut off the halberd head. Xiao Wuji, whose martial arts attainments had advanced by leaps and bounds, could naturally see clearly that the strength and technique of the halberd warrior were by no means ordinary, let alone those ordinary halberders could compare with it. His calculation of angle and speed is not bad, if the black-robed man is a little slower, even if it takes one hundredth of a breath, the halberd head will undoubtedly be pierced on the top of the black-armored man's head, and then the brain will splash and the flesh and blood will blur, so there is no need to say more.

But the black-armored man did.

Not only did he do it, but there was not even the slightest hint of surprise or horror on his face, as if it was just a trivial matter as ordinary as eating. Xiao Wuji thought that his ability was already extremely high in the world, not to mention that no one could be defeated, few people could be defeated, Xiao Wuji still had the confidence to say it. But in front of them, the two of them simply separated the winner and loser, and Xiao Wuji was shocked into a cold sweat.

That halberd should be not much different from his own realm.

The black-armored man...... How terrifying is it?

After shaving off the halberd's head, the black-armored man did not rush to return fire, but turned his horse's head and began to look at the assassin.

"You are the first Assassin to get even an inch closer to my skull. Report the name, and don't kill the nameless. ”

The halberd threw away the broken halberd in his hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "I have no name. ”

"Then you get out, but from now on you will have a name, called the one who takes the halberd, if there is a next time, Lone will kill you."

The halberd didn't say a word, turned around and left.

The black-armored man suddenly laughed and said, "Don't hide it, is it possible that the people who want to kill the orphan are all the nameless rats?" ”

"Who do you say are the rats?"

Xiao Wuji was horrified, because the above sentence came from Xiao Furong's mouth. Xiao Furong angrily walked up to the tall black horse with shiny coat, pointed to the nose of the black-armored man and said loudly: "Let me tell you, my eldest brother is a famous master in the world, how did he become a nameless rat in your mouth, but you, what are you doing, report your name?" ”

The black-armored man was just about to make a move, Xiao Wuji rushed out, saying that he was rushing, but in fact, he was close to flying, a few feet away, after Xiao Wuji jumped, his feet no longer touched the ground, and a small sword stabbed the black-armored man's throat.

The black-armored man smiled contemptuously.

He didn't resist the sword, but directly pinched the blade of the little sword with his fingers, as if with a slight pull, he taught the little sword to get out of Xiao Wuji's hand.

Xiao Wuji enlightened fifteen days, he was able to sneak into the palace of the king of Chu, and directly rescued his sister, and his body and means had reached the peak, and he had hurriedly flicked his fingers for several years, Xiao Wuji's ability had improved much more than at that time, but in the face of this person, he had a deep sense of powerlessness for the first time, and even some fear.

He volleyed sideways to prevent the black-armored man from continuing to attack, and then landed on the ground, protecting his sister.

Xiao Furong also seemed to find that the person in front of her was not idle, and began to regret her previous impulsiveness.

"Big Brother...... This person...... Isn't it amazing? ”

“……”

Xiao Wuji was silent.

The black-armored man smiled and said, "When you wait to kill Gu here, you don't even know who Gu is?" Interestingly, how much money did your employer pay to teach you to get a good head? ”

"It's a misunderstanding, we just followed the halberd to get here."

"So, you're here to escort you? Anyway, what benefits do you want? ”

Xiao Furong couldn't get angry, and spoke again: "Why are you like this?" Every sentence is said to be lonely, and the people who come are either to kill you or to ask for rewards, do you think you are the Qin Emperor Yunhuan? It's a shame! ”

As if he had heard some ridiculous joke, the black-armored man laughed so hard that he almost fell off his horse. Xiao Wuji originally wanted to take this opportunity to take his sister to escape, or take the opportunity to attack his vital point, but remembering the unfathomable and incomprehensible strength of the black armor man before, even with Xiao Wuji's current realm, Xiao Wuji did not act rashly, and his sister's seemingly abrupt interrogation was actually not ignorant of the world, but wanted to leave an impression that the other party was ignorant of the world, and then explain this matter, so that he would not be familiar with the two of them.

Although this disaster was caused by his sister, it seems that it was caused by his sister now. Thinking of the joke my sister said just now...... Isn't this man......

The man laughed, as Xiao Wuji expected, and said loudly: "If you don't change your name and don't change your surname, it's Di Yunhuan." Don't you really want a reward? ”

Xiao Furong said with a smile: "How can you be helpless, although our brother and sister are just reckless and helpless, they also know how not to be fed." ”

"Forget it, this place is a battlefield where the two countries are fighting, and it is very dangerous, so you should retreat as soon as possible."

Xiao Wuji was like being amnestied, and he dragged his sister back, but the black-armored man who called himself Emperor Yunhuan said abruptly: "Wait." ”

"What else does the king ask me?"

Xiao Wuji's tone was very respectful.

"Your sister just said that you can't accept it without merit, so can you accept it if you have merit?"

Xiao Furong laughed and said, "Of course! Of course! She said, tugging at her brother's arm. Xiao Wuji immediately understood his sister's intentions - Fang Cai was just retreating, and after guessing the identity of that person, it was natural to ask for some benefits, but if it was too straightforward and despicable, it made him feel bad, even if there was any benefit, it would be insignificant. Moreover, the merits of receiving will definitely not last long, if they can find an errand under this person, then the embarrassment of their brother and sister can be solved for a long time.

Di Yunhuan pointed at Xiao Wuji and said, "Although your body style is not as good as when you were ten years old, you can be regarded as the top among those Jianghu people. If you want to make a contribution, it must not be difficult for you. Lonely here, there are also some merits that can be set up for you. ”

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Shouchun City, have you ever been there?"

"I've been."

"Do you know where the palace is?"

Xiao Wuji was silent for a moment and said, "I know." ”

"Rely on your body to sneak into the Chu Palace and take the head of the King of Chu to Lone, can you do it?"

Before Xiao Wuji could speak, Xiao Furong suddenly said, "This, it's too difficult, right?" ”

Xiao Wuji originally wanted to say that of course it was okay. Five years ago, he rescued his sister in the Chu Palace, and he already had experience, and he was clear about the layout of the Chu Palace, and this matter was not very difficult for him.

Di Yunhuan said: "This is afraid? ”

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I told the king in advance, and it may not be possible."

"Hahaha, Lone understands. One hundred taels of gold, how? ”

"Chu, the big country of Jianghuai, only a hundred taels of gold, is too little."

"Five thousand taels of gold, forty thousand taels of silver, how?"

Xiao Furong still shook her head.

"I'm afraid that I have a life to earn, but I don't have a life to spend."

Di Yunhuan snorted coldly: "Don't go too far." ”

Xiao Furong said: "If my eldest brother can make this contribution, I will ask the king to give my eldest brother a chance to make meritorious service again." You don't want gold, silver, and wealth. ”

"Okay, Lone promises you! Now, I would like to ask you to sign up. ”

……

On the way out of Xiao Wuji and Xiao Furong, Xiao Wuji asked, "Sister, why do you say that this is difficult?" When I rescued you back then, I didn't think it was that difficult, saving people turned into killing, it should be simpler. ”

Xiao Furong pinched her brother's face, as if she was coquettish and said angrily: "Big brother, when were you stunned?" He is the king of Qin, and what you want to kill is the king of Chu, if you say that you can easily enter the Chu Palace, then can't you also easily enter the Qin Palace? ”

"King Qin's ability is much higher than your eldest brother, will he be afraid of this?"

"Big brother is really stunned! You are not as capable as him now, what will you do in the future? You can't beat him face to face, what if he falls asleep? There is always a time for people to relax! Big brother, after the deed is done, you must pretend to be seriously injured and die! ”

This was the first time he had noticed that his sister's heart was quite lively.

In other words, girls tend to mature earlier than boys in reality. Xiao Wuji suddenly became a little sad, feeling that his sister didn't seem to be the same sister as before, and he was a little relieved that his sister had grown up, and she was no longer the stupid girl who cried and cried at every turn and didn't have an opinion on anything.

"Learn the art of literature and martial arts, and sell it to the emperor's family. A companion is like a tiger, big brother must be careful. ”

Xiao Wuji couldn't help but shed tears, and suddenly turned his head and bowed deeply to his sister.

"Big brother, what are you doing, hurry up, hurry up!"

"Big brother remembers, you said that you like a peaceful life."

Xiao Furong held her brother's arm and said softly: "Big brother, I thought about it later, can the eldest husband have no ambitions?" Meritorious service, I'm afraid that's what the eldest brother really wants, how can the younger sister delay the eldest brother's good future? As long as you can be by the side of the eldest brother, even if you are displaced, it is also with the eldest brother, which is enough. Alas, big brother, don't cry, it's like me before! Shame on you! ”

Xiao Wuji burst into tears and laughed.

Shouchun City, the palace of the king of Chu.

Five years.

For the king of Chu, it seems like fifty years. In terms of national strength, the state of Chu is actually not much worse than the state of Qin, and even stronger. The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and there were countless famous ministers in the world, although they lost the Song Mingchen who crowned the world, but the rest may not be much worse than the Song Mingchen. Moreover, the state of Chu is vast and rich, twice as large as the state of Qin, although the population is sparse, it is still a little more than the state of Qin. Soldiers are good soldiers and horses are good horses, chariots, halberds and crossbows are all finely worked, and they are much stronger than those shoddy swords of the Qin State.

Why, after only five years of fierce battles, the capital of Chu was besieged and the land was lost?

People's hearts are scattered!

In terms of guilt, in fact, it is still in the king of Chu himself. If it weren't for his depressed mentality due to the loss of talent, so that he indulged in pleasure and used wine to kill his sorrows, Song Mingchen would not have left him. The whole country will not deviate from morality.

The only thing that made him happy was that there were still loyal ministers.

Xiong Ping is such a loyal minister.

It's a pity that yesterday came the news that after writing the long resignation of "Tianwen", he hanged himself at home. Thinking of the past, he ignored his anger, spoke bluntly, and even got angry in the face of himself, at that time he even wanted to kill him directly, but now that he is dead, King Chu recalled that he felt a little warm. Xiong Ping, it's true that the widow has lost you!

There are a few more, but like Xiong Ping, they all committed suicide one after another.

Recently, the Qin army has been recuperating, probably planning to accumulate strength and attack Shouchun in one fell swoop.

The King of Chu called in a low voice, "Wu'er." ”

"The son is here."

The King of Chu raised his eyes suddenly, only to know that he was really in the hall, standing silently all the time. His talent is far inferior to himself back then, and he was even denounced as a mediocre person by some people, but he is determined to be firm, although his qualifications are mediocre, over the years, he has been slowly improving his views on literature, art and martial arts, as well as his views on governing the country, and now, it has been a little bit like this, and the king of Chu even feels that he is more suitable to be a king than himself, once, when he thought of this, the king of Chu would even have a little murderous intent, and now, suddenly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, he suddenly said: "Wu'er, don't call yourself a son anymore." ”

The middle-aged man with strong eyebrows and a tall figure fulfilled his father's wish and said softly, "The child is here." ”

"Come over here."

The middle-aged man walked to his father and asked with some concern, "Father...... Father, but is he ill? Erchen ...... Then go and call the royal doctor! ”

"My illness can't be solved by medicine stones, so I don't need it. You just have to come here. ”

When the middle-aged man walked to his side and bowed his head, the king of Chu suddenly left the throne and pointed to the throne and said, "Wu'er, do you want to sit down?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "The child doesn't dare." ”

"I don't ask you if you dare, just ask if you want to."

"The child doesn't want to."

This answer is as firm as iron, and the words are sonorous.

The King of Chu was dumbfounded and surprised: "What did you say? ”

The middle-aged man repeated those four words again.

"If you want to, I'll give it to you right away!"

"The child really doesn't want to, father! Can't you see it, this Da Chu, I'm afraid it's really going to end! ”

"Who gives you permission to say such frustrating things?"

The middle-aged man suddenly roared: "No one is allowed!" The child just wants to say! The child is actually very jealous, jealous of his father's good talent, and jealous of Xiong Ping, he is not only talented, but has been working hard, but the child is most jealous of Di Yunhuan! Not only is his talent rare in the world, but he has also worked extremely hard since he was a child, which is simply terrible in the eyes of children! If there is such a person in the world, sooner or later the world will be his! Father, the child said a heart-wrenching word, you have insisted on the throne all these years, but in fact, your heart has long been no longer on this throne! ”

He said that Di Yunhuan is extremely talented, and he works hard to make people afraid, which is true. When the princes were in alliance, he once saw that when the other princes were watching the beauties dancing to relieve their boredom, he was actually reading a book, and he was still reading the profound and obscure ancient books. Such a book, others feel a headache when they look at it, but he is still laughing when he looks at it. It is said that every time the King of Qin learns literature and art, he stays up all night, and the next day he goes to court as usual, and every time he learns martial arts, he still stays all night, and the next day he goes to court normally. There are even more exaggerated rumors that he doesn't even need to sleep, he doesn't need to rest, such a person is indeed invincible.

What he said later was also true. It's true that I love power, and it's true that I hate power. What he yearns for most in his heart is when he was the prince, traveling with friends, reciting poems, and enjoying elegance together. After becoming the queen of Chu, he was obsessed with power, but what he dreamed of in his dreams was still those elegant things in the old days.

"Father! Father! The middle-aged man continued: "The distance between the husband is extremely large, and he can't change it. At this point, he Emperor Yunhuan wanted the Chu State, so he gave the Chu State to him. Our father and son will protect their lives and be a public servant, it is better than when the city is broken, and the heads are separated! (To be continued.) )
