Chapter Seventy-Four: The Danger of Xiangyang (1)
Gongsun Zhi and Qiu Qianqi went from lovers who love each other to enemies with deep grievances, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand and distinguish between right and wrong.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them died together today, and the grievances and entanglements can be regarded as a happy ending, which is a good ending.
But for Gongsun Lucao, the loss of his parents, the only relatives in the world, at the same time, such a blow is really difficult to describe in words.
She was originally a weak and affectionate person with a very soft heart, no matter how much her father treated her, she never blamed him for the slightest. Even though her mother Qiu Qianqi has never met her for more than ten years and has never given her maternal love, she still regards her as her closest relative.
However, the world is unpredictable, and she saw that the only parents in the world were both killed in front of her. This sudden pain, where could she bear, in the moment of seeing the tragic situation, she just wailed loudly, and then passed out.
At the same time, the people in the valley also sighed one after another, their faces were sad, and most of the servants in the valley were the descendants left over from the migration valley of the ancestors of Gongsun Zhi in the early years.
Few of these people have ever been out of the valley, so most of them have a simple temperament, and they are loyal to the valley owner and his wife.
"Valley Lord, Master Mother!" Fan Yiweng, who was standing on the side, walked in quickly, grabbed the bodies of the two of them, and tears flowed down his face.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yang had to sigh and carry the unconscious Gongsun Lucao to the room to rest.
After mourning for half a day, the people of the Quan Desperate Valley decorated the bodies of Gongsun Zhi and Qiu Qianqi that night, and waited for the unconscious Gongsun Lucao to wake up, and after seeking her opinion as the future valley master, they arranged the funeral of the two.
With the help of Zhang Yang's luck, Gongsun Lucao woke up the next morning.
After she nodded and agreed, she specially ordered the people in the valley to bury Gongsun Zhi and Qiu Qianqi separately, so as not to have a restless fight underground. I only hope that the two of them will not become husband and wife in the next life.
On the day of the funeral, with the consent of Gongsun Lucao, the people of the valley were all released by Zhou Botong, Yang Guo, Wan Yanping, Ye Luyan and others who were under house arrest in various ways.
and ordered someone to give the antidote to the poisoned Yang Guo to remove the residual poison from his body.
It is worth mentioning that Wan Yanping's daughter has a deep affection for Yang Guo, and in order to save Yang Guo, she would rather commit herself to marrying Gongsun Zhi. And Yang Guo is obviously not a stupid person, not a wood who is ignorant of feelings, and after knowing that Xiaolongnu has married Zhang Yang, he was originally discouraged. But when he met a woman like Wan Yanping who would rather defend him with her life, where could his heart be as solid as a rock?
As the saying goes, men chase women in the mountains, and women chase men in the veils. Under Wan Yanping's surging emotions, Yang Guo's heart was slowly softened.
After the two reunited, Yang Guo and Wan Yanping were already in love, like glue, like lovers.
On this day, on top of a clearing about ten zhang long and wide in the Valley of Despair. Zhang Yang, Huang Rong, and Guo Fu are all there, and one of them has white hair, a ruddy complexion, and even wrinkles on his face. But it's obviously an old man's man.
This person is, of course, the famous Zhou Botong.
"Zhang Yang, how about we compete again today, I have already thought of a way to restrain your Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. Yesterday, when we were competing, I accidentally lost to you with a move and a half. I'm going to get this field back today. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep at night. Zhou Botong said with bulging cheeks like a child.
When Zhang Yang saw this, he couldn't help crying and laughing. It's really difficult to meet such a martial idiot and childlike old man.
After Zhou Botong was released yesterday, he learned from others that he was strong in martial arts, and he immediately became interested, and he wanted to compete with him.
Zhang Yang used the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra by fighting left and right, coupled with deep internal force, and this combination naturally beat Zhou Botong by half a point.
But this old naughty boy was not convinced, and he wanted to get back to the field here today, he seemed to be quite confident in today's competition, and found Huang Rong and Guo Fu in advance to be witnesses.
"Zhou Botong, where is your martial arts better than Brother Zhang, and you asked me and my mother to come and see. I don't think you're embarrassed enough, and if you lose later, just get into the cracks! Zhou Botong often corresponded with the Guo family, and Guo Fuzhi was more familiar with him, so he was not afraid of him at all.
Of course, Guo Fu said this for a purpose. It's just because she knows that Zhou Botong is strong in martial arts, and he is more reckless than his father Guo Jing. was afraid that Zhang Yang would lose to him later, so he found an excuse and deliberately stimulated Zhou Botong, hoping that he would be confused before the competition.
"You...... You little girl, how do you know how powerful my Zhou Botong is, I will definitely let you see it later. Zhou Botong retorted with a flushed face.
"Fu'er, don't talk nonsense, just watch the competition quietly." Huang Rong was extremely smart, and when she saw her daughter's thoughts, she whispered to her.
Since seeing Zhang Yang cast the Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending on that day, although Huang Rong heard him say the source of martial arts, he was still very entangled and confused in his heart.
She has always been arrogant, and naturally she doesn't want her flamboyant palm skills to be compared with her husband's palm skills. As long as she has the opportunity, she also wants to see if his palm is different from Guo Jing's, or even if there are any defects.
Now that Zhou Botong has appeared, only a peerless master like him can force Zhang Yang to use the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending and even defeat him. So she didn't want Zhang Yang to win, but wanted him to show the shortcomings of his palm.
"Well, old urchin, I promise you. But before the competition, we have to make an agreement. That is, after this competition, no matter whether we win or lose, we will no longer compete, are you willing? Zhang Yang smiled bitterly.
"How can this work, I finally found an opponent like you, if I can't compare with you, who will I compare?" Zhou Botong said anxiously.
"You can't find other things to do, so why bother with competing with people. And I have my own things to do, but I can't compete with you every day, if you don't agree. Today's scene, I won't compare with you. Zhang Yang said with a roll of his eyes.
"Okay, that's just better than today. It's a big deal, after the competition, I went to the Mongolian military camp to play. Zhou Botong originally had a little regret on his face, but when he talked about the back, he seemed to think of something funny, and immediately smiled.
"Then it's decided, let's do it!" Zhang Yang smiled. Stand with your hands in your hands.
In the face of the five-level characters, Zhang Yang didn't dare to be careless, as long as there was a negligence, he might be caught by the other party, resulting in losing the competition.
Zhou Botong smiled, his figure flashed, and it seemed to jump inadvertently, but it contained quite exquisite footwork.
As soon as he got close, he used the left and right fighting techniques to use his peerless Empty Ming Fist. For a moment, I only heard the sound of the surrounding air, and the momentum was quite amazing.
Zhang Yang was afraid that he would really be able to come up with a way to deal with the Jade Maiden's Heart Sutra today, so he didn't use a sword at all, and when he came with a boxing punch, he immediately swung his steps, and a powerful palm was in the past, which was one of the eighteen palms of the dragon.
When the two fought, they only heard the sound of a metal clash in the field. The flowers and plants that were close to the surrounding area collapsed and fell to the ground one after another under the majestic palm wind and fist wind.
Today's competition between the two is strong against strong, and they fight with strength, so the momentum of both sides is extremely amazing.
After fighting more than 20 moves. The ground was full of smoke and dust, the wind was loud, and the two of them couldn't be seen clearly in the place where they were fighting.
They are all masters of martial arts, and it will definitely be difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser within dozens of moves. With the passage of time, I don't know how many moves I have played, and even Guo Fu, who was standing by and watching the battle, felt that her legs and feet were a little sore.
"It's a lot of ash. I don't know how they compare in it. Mother, this old naughty boy won't hurt Brother Zhang without knowing the severity, right? Guo Fu looked at her mother beside her with a worried expression.
"How do I know, your martial arts are weak, retreat away first, don't be injured by them." Huang Rong looked at the field without blinking, but helplessly, there was too much smoke and dust in the field, and she couldn't see the situation inside at all.
"Old naughty boy, you are a martial arts competition, but you can't be heavy-handed and hurt people." Guo Fu didn't listen, and shouted inside with his throat pulled.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a strange cry from the room, because the sound was obviously caused by pain, neither like a flamboyant nor an old urchin, so I don't know who was hurt.
"Brother Zhang, are you okay?" Guo Fu exhaled anxiously.
When she exclaimed, the old urchin's voice came out: "Don't compare, don't compare, you're still powerful, I can't beat you." I didn't think that you were young, in addition to the Jade Maiden's Heart Sutra, you would actually descend the dragon eighteen palms. With the purity of your current set of palms, I'm afraid that Guo Jing's stupid boy is no more than you. If I continue to compare, I'm afraid I'll lose too. ”
"But then again, you kid is too rebellious, my senior brother Wang Chongyang is at your age, and his martial arts are definitely far inferior to yours, are you a monster?"
At this time, the dust had gradually dissipated, and in the haze of smoke, I saw the old urchin curiously circling around Zhang Yang and looking like an animal visiting a zoo.
He was just competing with the internal force, and the meridians were slightly shaken, and there was not much damage, so he was still fierce.
"Zhou Botong, did you really lose just now?" When Huang Rong heard this, she was extremely moved.
If he can't beat Zhang Yang, then his husband Guo Jing's martial arts may be as good as the old urchin just said, not as good as the young man in front of him!
You must know that martial arts pay attention to gradual progress, cycle by cycle, and daily diligent practice in order to reach the advanced realm, but at Zhang Yang's age, it is too sensational to be able to reach such a peak realm, and Huang Rong can't help but be surprised.
"Brother Zhang won, haha, I said a long time ago, old urchin, you are not as good as him." Guo Fu smiled happily, what could be happier than her husband's limelight?
"If you lose, you lose, what's the big deal. I'm going to the Mongolian military camp, and it's much more fun to steal the king's flag there than to compete here. Zhou Botong looked unconvinced.
Huang Rong heard this, but smiled noncommittally: "Old naughty boy, now that the Mongolian Han has died, and the Mongolian army led by Kublai Khan has slowly withdrawn, do you think you can still see people when you go to the Mongolian military camp now?" ”
"Huang Rong girl, you guessed wrong, the last time I went to the Mongolian army, I heard what Kublai Khan said that they were going to come back and attack Xiangyang City. So now go to the Mongolian barracks, they will definitely be there. The old urchin said confidently.
"What did you just say, the Mongolian army wants to return and attack Xiangyang City, is this true?" Huang Rong asked nervously.
This matter is related to the safety of the world, even if she has always been unfazed, she is quite nervous when she hears this. (To be continued......)
