Chapter 21: The Lion's Roar, the Poisonous Channeling Palace

Tang Ning didn't expect Helan Yushi to be like this in a hurry, and his body staggered to dodge Helan Yushi's first move, but he was almost cut by her, and his sleeve was broken. In the second move, Tang Ning drew his sword and fought against her.

When Tang Ning was just now, although he made a ruthless move, he was not ruthless. But now seeing that Helan Yushi didn't shed tears when she didn't see the coffin, she began to make ruthless moves, so that she would inevitably suffer some flesh wounds.

When a line was made on his sleeve, Helan Yushi realized how wrong it was to challenge Tang Ning.

However, Tang Ning didn't give Helan Yushi any respite, and his move was much faster, and Helan Yushi hastily resisted, and he didn't even have a chance to admit defeat. could only let Tang Ning cut scars on her body, and the clothes covered by her body were also cut into rags.

A sword picked off the crown belt on Helan Yushi's head, and Tang Ning drove the sword to Helan Yushi's neck.

"Princess Rongdi, you, can you admit defeat?" Tang Ning's words were extremely domineering, and the sword blade had already stabbed into Helan Yushi's neck slightly, if she continued to toss, Tang Ning didn't mind drawing a line on it.

"I, I...... Lost. The touch of her neck made Helan Yushi sober up a lot, although the current embarrassment made her ashamed, but for the sake of her life, she still admitted defeat.

"That'll be fine." Tang Ning said three words, then put away his sword and returned to his original position.

After the two sides divided the winners and losers, Rong Di's envoy's face was not very good-looking, and he saw that the clothes covered by Helan Yushi were very torn, although there were still several layers of clothes inside, and he couldn't see anything, but his face was very unsightly.

Rong Di's envoy untied his clothes and put them on Helan Yushi, let people take her down, walked to the middle of the main hall, saluted like the emperor of Northern Qi, and said in an apologetic tone, "The little princess has been in love with King Li of your country for a long time, and this time I came to make peace, Rong Di wanted to marry Northern Qi for a hundred years, and then sent half of Rong Di's territory as a dowry for the little princess. ”

Many people in the main hall took a breath when they heard the words of Rong Di's envoy.

Half of the territory, although Rong Di has few people, the territory is vast, and the large grassland is even more vast, if the Northern Qi can have that half......

"When I came to His Majesty, I ordered me to bring a gift to Northern Qi. Specify that Concubine Tang of King Li's Mansion accept it. This is a treasure of my state, and I hope that Concubine Tang will accept it with a smile. ”

Rong Di's envoy said very sincerely, but before Tang Ning could react, he waved his hand and asked people to carry in a large cage covered with a black cloth. The oppression that emanates faintly from the cage makes one wonder what exactly is inside.

"Bow." Rong Di's messenger waved his hand again, and a person next to the cage tore off the black cloth, revealing the yellow lion that had been majestic.

"This is a sacred relic of our state, please open the cage in person, embrace the holy lion, and completely present the last part of the ceremony." The messenger spoke, and someone handed Tang Ning a key.

Tang Ning didn't take it immediately, but let the squire stand in front of him with the key.

The atmosphere was somewhat deadlocked.

Tangning glanced at the lion with disdain in his eyes. How could she not understand the meaning of the envoy of Rong Di, in order to avenge Rong Di's Helan Yushi, the messenger actually wanted to kill her with a lion.

Lion fighting?

Tang Ning's eyes rolled, she was not afraid of the challenge, she was just thinking about whether it was worth it.

"Haha." At this moment, an abrupt laugh broke the silence of the hall.

Tang Ning looked at Ouyang Xu, who suddenly stood up, and frowned.

Everyone looked at the so-called lion sent by Rongdi's envoy, and they all knew that he was just for revenge. Because it is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, no one dares to take the initiative to speak for Tangning.

Although many people wanted to take the case, no one dared to joke with their lives when the emperor did not speak.

At this moment, Ouyang Xun, who was dressed in white, laughed a few times, fanned his brocade fan, and got up with a smile and waved towards Rong Di's envoy.

"I was talking to Your Majesty about the Rongdi Lion today, and I didn't expect your country to send one. I've wanted to raise a lion for a long time, and I don't know if I can be interested in it today. ”

Ouyang Xun walked to the cage where the lion was locked as she spoke, and she observed the male lion in the cage up close, as if she was very interested in the prey inside.

"I'm afraid to disappoint Your Excellency, I will name Your Majesty to give this holy relic to Concubine Tang, and ask Concubine Tang to accept it." The messenger's words were also very resolute, and he had to let Tang Ning accept it.

"As far as I know, this Rongdi lion will never recognize a woman as the master." Ouyang patted the cage with a brocade fan, and there was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his eyes.

"Ouyang Gongzi's words are wrong, the little princess of my state has always been accompanied by a lion, and if Concubine Tang can defeat the princess, she can naturally make the lion recognize the master."

"Tell me about the golden lion that Princess Helan Yushi often carries by her side. If I'm not mistaken. The lion was taken away from the lioness who had just given birth to a lion cub when she was five years old. Now the one in the cage seems to have passed the age of confession......"

Ouyang Xun spoke, his voice was very good, but it gave people a strong sense of oppression.

"I bowed to Your Majesty's mother, and I subdued a full-grown lion and made him confess to the Lord. Ouyang Gongzi said this, did he think that Concubine Tang's ability was too poor, and if she failed, she would lose the face of Northern Qi? ”

The envoy's tone of voice was very aggressive, and the normally kind face of the Northern Qi Emperor showed a hint of fierceness.

Dare to be so unreasonable and brainless in the palace of the emperor of another country, this envoy really doesn't want to live!

Tang Ning had slain countless beasts when he was an agent, and although his physical condition was not as good as before, there was no problem in killing a lion. However, seeing that Ouyang Xun could stand up and defend himself at this time, he couldn't help but smile at her.

Ouyang Xun saw Tang Ning smiling, and replied to her with a smile.

Whether it is Rong Di or the Northern Qi Emperor, it is not in Li Zhan's eyes. But seeing Tang Ning and Ouyang Xun's eyebrows, he was furious, the woman who had already labeled him dared to do so in public.

Really...... Is it tolerable or unbearable!

If it weren't for the sake of the overall situation, Li Zhan really wanted to go crazy.

It wasn't until a guard hurriedly came back from outside the hall and said something in Li Zhan's ear that Li Zhan vented the anger in his heart.

Li Zhan was furious, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes, and the wine glass in his hand moved, only to hear the sound of steel breaking, followed by a lion's roar.

As the glass fell, a purple stream of blood flowed from the lion's head.

"Ahh Everyone looked at the purple blood, and their hearts tightened.

Purple blood?

It turned out that the lion had been fed poison.

If you accidentally get touched by the lion, the result will be ......

Everyone turned their eyes to Tang Ning again, and there was some sympathy in their eyes.

If Tang Ning rashly came to the duel, he would be touched by a lion a little...... A life.

When the messenger saw that the lion's affair had been revealed, a hint of panic flashed in his heart, and then he calmed down again.

"Helan Longteng, the eldest prince of Xirong, after the war last year, I saw it today, and I didn't expect that the prince could send his sister and relatives under the name of a messenger, and also send such a valuable poison to the king's concubine. If the king's guess is correct, the lion has been carefully fed with poisonous snakes for at least three years. Unexpectedly, three years ago, the eldest prince took such a fancy to this king! ”

Li Zhan bit the word "eldest prince" very hard, his tone was domineering with anger, the eldest prince whose identity was revealed stood in place and took a step back, Helan Longteng grabbed the things in his hand, as if he was thinking of making up his mind.

"What are the eldest princes waiting for, is it not to want these people. Someone, bring the traitors from the forbidden army! Li Zhan waved his hand, and several tortured people with blood all over their bodies were brought up.

"Li Zhan, ...... you" Seeing the dozen or so people, Holland Longteng's face immediately changed, and at this time, the things in his hands also fell on the main hall.

"If the eldest prince is waiting for news from these people, then there is no need." Li Zhan waved his hand, and the people in his hands were signaled, and they immediately slaughtered those people.

Li Zhan has always been bloody and violent, and the children of the family present saw the rolling down of several heads and the blood gushing out, and some of them couldn't stand it and fainted with fright. The Northern Qi Emperor on the throne looked at this little son with an inexplicable expression.

"Haha, since this king is here, will there be no other preparations." Thinking of the rustling outside, the Dutch dragon was bound to laugh out loud.

At this time, a piece of poison suddenly crawled at the door of the main hall. In addition to the doorway, there are also other places.

One of the guards standing in the doorway was bitten and immediately foamed at the mouth and died.

"Escort, escort!" With the shout of a little eunuch, the secret guards hidden in everyone came out and properly protected the Northern Qi Emperor in the middle.

"Ah, viper!"

"There are scorpions!"

"Help, ah, damn bugs."

In the face of the attack of poisonous insects, many people were in chaos.

However, some people also found that there seemed to be no poisonous insects around the three princes.

So, a lot of people ran away.

Because he knew that he was not afraid of poisonous insects, the most calm in the entire hall was Tang Ning. She sat in her place, looking like Mount Tai had collapsed in front of her and her color remained unchanged.

"Xiao Ning'er is not afraid, Brother Ouyang will always be by your side." At this time, Ouyang Xun, who seemed to be very afraid of poisonous insects, hid beside Tang Ning and said in a very cool tone.

"This lion is weird!" Tang Ning looked at the grumpy lion in the cage, and the inquiring meaning in his eyes deepened.

"Let the lion out, and maybe you can destroy the poison." Tang Ning glanced at Ouyang Xun, and said, "Open the Lion Gate, and you can make meritorious contributions." ”

Tang Ning looked at Ouyang Xun, and his words were a little funny.

Ouyang Xun's face and her maintenance of Tang Ning made her think of Qin Shaoyang, but Qin Shaoyang was a tough guy, he had never stood in front of Tang Ning, and he would not have so many worries and powerlessness like Ouyang Xun.

"The meritorious service should be left to King Li, the emperor has not been pleasing to him recently." After Ouyang Xun finished speaking, his body seemed to lean towards Tang Ning unintentionally.

But just as Ouyang Xun was about to lean into Tang Ning, Li Zhan took Tang Ning into his arms and walked towards the cage with her.

At this time, the main hall had been divided into two camps, and since half of the main hall could not climb the poison, on top of it, a group of people began to fight.

"Li Zhan!" Suddenly picked up, Tang Ning put his hand on Li Zhan's neck in a stressful manner and made a gesture of self-preservation.
