Chapter 011: The Holy Maiden of Troubled Times (10) Wonderful People
Zhao Xinglan spent the first cold night in Yan Country in Shen Siju.
Today, Emperor Yan held a palace banquet to welcome the holy daughter, and did not invite Zhao Xinglan, the second prince of Zhao Guolai. And as soon as Zhao Xinglan, who was a proton, arrived in Yan Kingdom, he was dragged to watch a man-bear fight, and the one who fought with the bear was a powerless woman who was specially bought from Zhao Guo.
The meaning of contempt and humiliation could not be more obvious.
To achieve great things, there will always be sacrifices. It is already a success to exchange the sacrifice of a few people for the peace of more people, and even the people of the world. Zhao Xinglan thought he was clear enough.
On the battlefield, he did not shoot arrows in vain, pierced through Yang in 100 steps, and also met in close arms, hand-to-hand combat, and could be regarded as killing countless enemies, and he never felt guilty about being soft-hearted.
He could be seen that when the giant bear flew out of the Colosseum, he almost collapsed. Because this was the first time that he had seen the unarmed people of his country about to die in front of his eyes, and he could only pretend that nothing had happened, and even be interested.
After shouting "stop", in just a few seconds, he thought a lot.
First, among the fierce beasts, the black bear is the most difficult to deal with, the fur is thick and slippery, even if it is holding a sword, it has to fight for a long time. He failed to carry a weapon, and rushed into the arena to save people, and he had no good chance of winning.
The second is that before Zhao Guo decided to let him be a proton, he had already announced to the public that he had been seriously injured in a war, his muscles and veins were damaged, and his kung fu was lost. If he strikes, he is exposed.
The coat of waste wood is torn, and Yan Guo will not give him life. He is fearless of life and death, but in this way, the confrontation and balance between Yan and Zhao will inevitably be broken, if the two countries go to war, although Yan will also have a lot of damage, but the defeat of Zhao is almost a certainty.
At that time, with the brutality of Emperor Yan, nine times out of ten the city will be slaughtered.
Whether to save these women with impulse and enthusiasm regardless of the consequences, or to endure for the sake of the overall situation and the people of the country, the answer becomes clear.
Weak countries have no diplomacy, and now they can only forbear.
He sat down with a smile and began to watch the battle "with great interest".
Fortunately, one of those women was able to resist the wind. not only subdued the black bear and saved everyone's lives, but also was respected as a saint by Emperor Yan.
If the news that Yan Guo got the Holy Maiden spread, I am afraid that Zhao Guo's situation will be even more difficult.
Zhao Xinglan looked at the bright moon in the night sky, thinking that there was an opportunity to explore the reality of this woman.
-
As Zhao Xinglan expected, the rumor that the holy woman went down to the Yan Kingdom soon spread throughout the Central Plains.
The Holy Maiden has the power to resist the wind, and can subdue the beasts with the wind and lift huge things...... Unstoppable. She went to Zhao State first, and was disappointed in Zhao Guosheng, so she went to Yan Kingdom, and was very satisfied, and happily decided to stay and protect Yan Kingdom.
- This is the most mainstream version, from the hand of Sima Youxiang. While boasting about his country, he did not forget to trample on his opponent Zhao Guo. Emperor Yan was quite satisfied.
Not long after the news spread, several small countries immediately sent envoys to visit Yan State, proposing to make peace, cede the city, and even submit to the country.
Emperor Yan Longyan Dayue worked harder to be courteous to Bolan.
It's a pity that Bolan is still faint and doesn't mince words about him. There was only one request that was made, and that was to close the Colosseum.
The people of Yan advocate force, they are bloodthirsty, and fighting beasts is a traditional entertainment that has been passed down among the nobles for many years, but Emperor Yan agreed without blinking his eyes, and finally got a little smile from Bolan.
Fortunately, although the Colosseum is closed, Zhao Xinglan, the proton of Zhao Guo, is a wonderful person, he is good at writing scripts, and he is also very good at composing beautiful sounds.
He took the initiative to invite Ying and set up a troupe, and he could set up a big drama every few days, which made the relatives and nobles of the Yan Kingdom feel very novel and interesting.
Emperor Yan saw that Zhao Xinglan was trying to please the nobles in the palace all day long, and knew that he had lost all his skills, and now he was a waste person who couldn't lift heavy things, and his suspicion gradually faded.
On this day, Bolan was pulling Ah Zhen to fly a kite in the imperial garden, when she suddenly heard the conversation of a man and a woman among the flowers in the distance. She didn't want to pay attention to it, but her heart was inexplicably trembling with bursts of hot warmth, causing her to involuntarily follow the voice and walk over.
A tall young figure wearing a gorgeous pink palace dress was pulling the sleeve of the man in front of him, and said in a crisp voice: "Brother Xinglan, your painting skills are so good, can you go to my palace in a while and make a portrait for me?" ”
The man is still a head taller than her, still wearing a white robe, he is long and jade, his eyebrows and eyes are handsome and picturesque, half-hidden in the flowers, the light is scorching, he is really like a fairy.
It was Zhao Xinglan, the second prince of Zhao State. I only heard him readily agree: "It's an honor." It's just that the princess is so beautiful, and she is only afraid of clumsiness, and it is difficult to depict one or two. ”
There was a sense of grace in the clear and pine voice, which coaxed the princess to immediately smile brightly, and happily pulled him away.
This person is really like a fish in water in Yan Kingdom. Bolan shook her head and walked away with the kite. She can already confirm that every time she sees Zhao Xinglan, her heart will inexplicably surge.
As for why, she couldn't figure it out. Bolan looked up at the sky with a helpless expression.
It didn't take long for the second princess to quietly spread throughout the palaces because of the quarrel between Zhao Guo's proton and Emperor Yan.
It turned out that the second princess was the woman in pink who invited Zhao Xinglan to paint that day, and she was very happy with Zhao Xinglan, so she went to Emperor Yangyan to give marriage.
Emperor Yan did not allow it. In Emperor Yan's plan, after a few years of Yan Guo's cultivation and recuperation, he would sweep away the Zhao State, how could he promise the pearl in his palm to the proton who was about to die.
The second princess was quite favored by Emperor Yan, and she was used to being willful, how could she give up, and after grinding for a long time, she saw that Emperor Yan resolutely refused to agree, so she angrily threatened: "If you don't promise Xinglan to me as a concubine, I will never marry for the rest of my life!" Otherwise, father, you can give me random instructions on family affairs, after getting married, I will raise Brother Xinglan in the princess's mansion, and I don't dare to say anything about the horse! ”
Emperor Yan was so angry that his beard was crooked, and he ordered the second princess to be grounded for half a month. Beat Zhao Xinglan again.
A little palace maid recounted the princess's words vividly, and the rest of the people gathered around Bolan and listened with relish.
Bolan thought to herself, this princess of Yan Kingdom is quite strong! And the palace people are also very gossipy, and the privacy of the emperor and princess also dares to pass on, are they not afraid of losing their heads?
"Of course not!" The little palace maid smiled and said, "In normal times, if you borrow ten dares from the slave maid, the slave and maid will not dare to say a word." But today's incident is that the second princess instructed the slaves and maids to spread the word to everyone in the palace, and the bigger the formation, the better! She said that she was showing her heart to the second prince of Zhao Guo, and she was also putting pressure on His Majesty. ”
Bolan laughed, these two princesses are really interesting and cunning.
Today's gossip of the palace maids also reminded Bolan of the awakening, and she instructed: "The affairs of Mingyue Palace, no matter how big or small, should not be passed on. ”
The little palace maids were busy nodding their heads like chickens pecking rice, with a loyal and reliable face.
But on the second day, the news of a "beauty spring" in Mingyue Palace quietly spread to Zhong Cui Palace.
