Chapter Ninety-Seven: Ambush

King Zhao alone took the dragon seat, looked around at the ministers, and said with a long smile:

"I started with martial arts, famous generals, after the founding of the country, it is not a person with military merits, not to be knighted, if there is no such martial spirit, my country has long been wiped out, and now there is a sword god like Huang Juzi, and it is a great joy to increase my great Zhao Shangwu's style!"

Everyone said yes together, and the heart said that you are the king, so naturally what do you say!

King Zhao looked proud, his eyes fell on Lian Jin, remembering that his man, that is, Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, told him that Lian Jin was going to compete with Xiang Shaolong in front of the palace, and said happily: "You are Lian Jin, I didn't expect that Xiaoxiao Weiguo would have a fairly powerful swordsman." ”

Lian Jin hurriedly walked to the front of the banquet, knelt down and kowtowed: "The courtier only has Da Zhao in his heart now, as long as the king gives an order, the courtier will never frown." ”

This Lian Jin was originally a swordsman who was attached to the Wu family, but now sitting next to Zhao Mu, obviously changed the court and took refuge in Juluhou.

The head of the Wu family, Wu Shilu, snorted coldly when he was drinking, obviously despising this former guest of his family.

King Zhao didn't know if he was influenced by Zhao Mu, and his attitude towards Lian Jin was also very kind, and he said happily: "The widow employs people on the basis of meritocracy, as long as Lian Jin is loyal to me, the widow will never treat you lightly." ”

Lian Jin was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed loudly.

When the words fell, I only heard King Zhao shouting: "Where is Xiang Shaolong?" ”

Xiang Shaolong smiled slightly, and walked out as promised, knelt down opposite Lian Jin, and said in a loud voice, "Xiang Shaolong sees my king." ”

King Zhao couldn't help but light up when he saw Xiang Shaolong's sturdy figure, and said, "With the strength of one person, you outwitted 800 horse thieves, and you are loyal and courageous, for the sake of your colleagues, regardless of your own stay to resist the enemy, and promote my great Zhao prestige, and the widow admires you very much." ”

Xiang Shaolong hurriedly expressed humility and gratitude, but secretly laughed in his heart that things were getting bigger and bigger.

King Zhao smiled with satisfaction, and at the same time looked at Lian Jin and Xiang Shaolong and said: "Both of them are dragons among people, since you have made an appointment to compete in the palace sword, and there is the sword god Huang Juzi Zhuyu in front of you, the widow will grant the request of the two of you, let's start!" ”

Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin should be in unison.

Zhao Mu saw that Xiang Shaolong's face was pale and bloodless, thinking that he had successfully designed the frame, and immediately proposed that the winner should be rewarded, and the winner would choose one of the unmarried women present as a partner, that is, the so-called beauty and hero!

King Zhao also thought that his man must have taken a fancy to Wu Tingfang of the Wu family, and he was afraid that others would misunderstand him and be afraid of the Wu family, so he agreed to come down.

As soon as the dragon opened, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and everyone's attention returned to the two people in the field.

Huang Shaohong didn't look at it, he just let go of eating and drinking, he was not the kind of second goods who participated in the banquet and didn't eat enough, and wanted to go back to the next noodles, no matter what others thought of him, he was worthy of his stomach first.

As for the battle between Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin, in Huang Shaohong's opinion, the result was already doomed.

Xiang Shaolong's goods were originally pretending to be weak to pit Lian Jin, and his strength was much higher than in the original book, not only learned the three major killing moves in Mozi's addendum in advance, but also received the order of his generation of 'grandmasters', if he didn't win, what would he do alive, find a piece of tofu and kill him.

Sure enough, the ending was as Huang Shaohong expected, Xiang Shaolong first showed weakness to the enemy, and then quickly used the three major killing moves supplemented by Mozi, a wooden sword smashed Lian Jin's sternum, directly bursting his heart, and there was no reason to be spared.

After Xiang Shaolong's victory, he made it clear to King Zhao in the court, and it was agreed that the winner could choose unmarried women, and he wanted to choose Wu Tingfang.

Of course, King Zhao couldn't return to what he had said, not only announced the marriage of Xiang Shaolong and Wu Tingfang, but also as a winning reward for the competition in front of the palace, and canonized Xiang Shaolong as the chief lieutenant in front of the palace.

Huang Shaohong's eyes moved, this official position is somewhat interesting, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was the position of the commander of the imperial guards and the head of the internal guards.

He was thinking about the benefits that this position could bring to them, Wu Tingfang, who was given a marriage, was crying with joy, and Zhao Ya, who betrayed Xiang Shaolong, was happy and sad, happy that her lover was not dead, and sad that the person she chose was not her.

And with the framing of the matter, I am afraid that the two will be strangers in the future.

Zhao Mu, who originally thought that the victory was in hand, froze on his face with a smile, turned his head and glared at Zhao Ya fiercely, but now he didn't know that the problem would definitely appear on Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya flashed her eyes and didn't dare to look at him at all.

Zhao Mu got up with a gloomy face and retired to King Xiaocheng on the grounds of physical discomfort.

King Zhao also seemed to know that his man's plan was frustrated and he was in a bad mood, so he nodded and let him out of the palace.

Without Zhao Mu, the banquet continued for a while, and after watching the singing and dancing for a while, King Zhao also got up to return to the harem with the concubines, even if the banquet was over, everyone in the hall got up to send off the king.

Who would have expected that King Xiaocheng walked a few steps, and suddenly turned his head to Huang Shaohong and asked, "Huang Juzi, now that the banquet is over, I wonder if the divine beast has returned?" ”

Huang Shaohong didn't expect him to remember this incident, and said with a smile: "That beast is playing Zhenghuan, wait for me to call it, after saying that, put two fingers to his lips, blew a loud whistle, and saw an ink-colored male lion appear in front of him out of thin air."

King Zhao looked at the joy, and praised again and again: "Good, good, the appearance of the divine beast in my Zhao country is a sign of prosperity, and the widow wants to build the 'dragon palace' for this divine beast, so Huang Juzi, your sword god, sits in the 'dragon palace' to teach the way of the sword, and when the time comes, Qi has a Jixia School Palace, and our Zhao country has a 'dragon palace' It is really wonderful!" ”

After saying this, he left, and the ministers sent it away, Huang Shaohong is so depressed!

What is this broken name, if you read it whitely, you will hear it as 'deaf womb', and if you misinterpret the meaning, it will become 'dragon...... of the womb'! Whichever one it is, it sounds like a curse,

I don't know what the hell is King Zhao's famous talent, it's better to call it 'what palace' directly, the nameless and nameless ones are better than this 'dragon palace'!

As soon as King Zhao left, the guests also said goodbye to each other and left one after another.

Xiang Shaolong asked Wu Tingfang and the people of the Wu family to go first, and he walked with Huang Shaohong.

Wu Yingyuan knew that the two had something to say, so he asked the future son-in-law to go back earlier, and then returned to the Wu family with the reluctant Wu Tingfang and Wu Shilu.

Xiang Shaolong was in the carriage when he came, so he invited Huang Shaohong to go with him.

After the two got into the car, the more than 30 ink scholars who came with Huang Shaohong followed behind the car by themselves, and when the carriage left the palace, Xiang Shaolong sincerely thanked him:

"Thank you eldest brother for giving me those three swordsmanship and carefully dialing it, otherwise I would definitely not be as easy as I am today."

Huang Shaohong waved his hand: "Brother, you don't have to mind, in this era, you and I are the closest, who else can I help if I don't help you!" ”

Xiang Shaolong's face showed gratitude, but with Huang Shaohong's words, it was not easy to say words of thanks again, and instead said excitedly: "Big brother, how do you practice your swordsmanship, how can you be so clever, I'm afraid that the swordsmen of this era are not your enemies!" ”

Huang Shaohong shook his head and said seriously: "My swordsmanship is the Dharma swordsmanship of Southern Shaolin in later generations, which is nothing in later generations, but the swordsmanship of this era was born from the battle array, and it is indeed inferior to the swordsmanship of fighting alone in later generations, but if the battle array is not as good as the swordsmanship of this era!" ”

Xiang Shaolong smiled when he heard this: "That's okay, at least no one will be your opponent if you fight alone!" ”

Huang Shaohong shook his head again: "This is not necessarily, it is said that there are many masters in this era, I heard that there is a swordsman named Zhao Jianzhai It is said that swordsmanship is only under the sword saint Cao Qiudao, and the swordsmanship of these two people pays great attention to the change of moves, and their disciples also have outstanding swordsmen, all of whom cannot be underestimated!" ”

Xiang Shaolong smiled nonchalantly: "Can these people compare to your eldest brother?" ”

Huang Shaohong laughed at himself when he heard this: "My body has not reached its peak yet, let alone Cao Qiudao, even his disciples may not be able to deal with it!" ”

Seeing Xiang Shaolong's shocked look, Huang Shaohong gave him a burst of chestnuts, and the words changed: "Don't we have guns, let's collapse one by one!" ”

Xiang Shaolong then remembered that he was eating with a gun, he scratched his head, and an excited expression suddenly appeared on his face: "By the way, big brother, your lion is placed in the subspace, this pet is really popular, it seems that your dragon group has a lot of good things!" ”

Huang Shaohong smiled slightly, noncommittal, and said in his heart that this product can be replenished, so he doesn't have to bother himself.

Xiang Shaolong said again: "I didn't expect that people in this era don't know lions, and I really believe in the words of your divine beast......

Immediately, he suddenly thought that if it was an ordinary lion, how could it disappear out of thin air and reappear, and just as he was about to ask, he heard Huang Shaohong say angrily:

"They want to know everything, how can we cheat and eat and drink in this era!" At this moment, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted softly:

"Stop!"

Xiang Shaolong saw that his face was wrong, so he hurriedly ordered the coachman to stop the car, lifted the curtain, looked out, and asked at the same time, "What's wrong with the eldest brother?" ”

Huang Shaohong also looked out vigilantly through the curtain of the car, and said in his mouth: "There is an ambush, have you noticed that this street is too quiet!" ”

In fact, how can this thing have this vigilance, it is completely his hunter's passive skill of searching for humanoid monsters, showing that not far ahead, there are dense red dots on the left and right of the long street, that is, humanoid creatures, but they can be seen at a glance, but there is no one!

The coachman turned around and smiled: "This lord is a little careful, the curfew in the city has already begun at this hour, who dares to go to the street at this time!" ”

Saying that, he was about to continue to catch the car, Huang Shaohong said coldly: "If you want to die, go by yourself, don't bother us!" ”

The coachman was from the Wu family, and he didn't have much interest in Huang Shaohong, so if he wanted to say more, he heard Xiang Shaolong say angrily: "Shut up!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, before he could tell the ink men behind the carriage to be careful, he heard a 'kill' sound in the distance, and then on the eaves on both sides of the street, hundreds of archers appeared, shooting at the carriage and those ink men in which the two were riding.

Huang Shaohong had already pulled Xiang Shaolong closer to the carriage, crawled in the carriage, and then pulled out a big dog from the void to block the two of them.

I only heard the sound of 'aggressiveness' and the sound of screaming outside the car, and in a moment's effort, the coachman, the carriage and the inkers who followed Huang Shaohong all became hedgehogs, as the focus of care, there were many powerful arrows, shooting through the carport and into the carriage, but they were all blocked by the big dog.

The dog glanced at his master resentfully, then burped, waiting for the next time he was resurrected by his master and reused.

After a few rounds of shooting, the archers threw their bows and arrows, jumped down from the house, drew their swords and surrounded the carriage, and at both ends of the street, hundreds of black-scarfed and masked swordsmen rushed out, all of whom were killed by the carriage.
