Chapter 140: Competition

The vassal kingdom is a nomadic people, has always been good at riding and archery, the prince and princess have grown up on the back of cattle and horses since childhood, all of them are brave and good at fighting, except for the royal family and ministers in the palace, the other people have no fixed housing location, basically all of them are home.

Before the vassal king ascended the throne, he had visited the Qing Kingdom with the old king of the previous generation of vassal kingdoms, Shin Naruhito, and at the time of that visit, he witnessed the generations of the people here in the Qing Kingdom, and witnessed the life of the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren.

This made Xinguang have many ideas, and he longed for the people of his vassal kingdom to be the same, no longer have to eat and sleep, no longer have to live in the four seas, and can have a stable life.

Since then, he was determined to learn the Qing system, until he ascended the throne as a new generation of kings, he was even more strict, since his accession to the throne, more and more stable people, the people of the feudal state also increased at a visible rate, young and strong young men and girls more and more, young men into the military camp of the feudal state, girls herding cattle and horses, life is not comfortable.

This is also regarded as the development of the feudal kingdom, and later after ascending the throne, the prince Xinsong and the princess Xinyun were born and raised, Xinguang Xinsong was twelve years old Xinyun was seven years old, and brought the two of them to the Qing Kingdom together, that year, Xinsong Xinyun and the prince and princess mingled.

On that day, Xinsong Xinyun followed the princess of the Qing Kingdom to the academy and learned something they had never learned in their lives in the vassal kingdom.

That time, the door to the new world of Xinsong and Xinyun was completely opened, and the new light that was watching from the side was also very surprised.

On that day, he saw the wisdom and wisdom between Qi and the emperor and princess, and some of the questions raised by the master he didn't know, but those princes and princesses could answer them instantly, and Xinsong Xinyun stood on the side, quite cowardly.

But Xinguang didn't care, he thought that the prince of the Qing Kingdom was weak, and he was not as strong as the prince of their domain, so on the proving ground, Xinguang proposed to let Xinsong compete with the prince, but fortunately, Xinsong also understood his heart and stood up immediately.

At that time, Xinguang thought that no matter how smart the prince of Emperor Qihe was, he would not be as brave as his crown prince Xinsong.

At that time, Xinsong was twelve years old, growing up in the grassland all day, a muscular body at a young age, tall and brave, and a strong body, Xinsong was a young hero, the whole person's eyes were sharp, and his expression was like an eagle.

At that time, Xinsong stood on the proving ground, with his chin held high towards the prince of the Qing Kingdom, and there was contempt in his eyes: "Who wants to come and compete with me?" ”

The children on the grassland rely on martial arts to talk about heroes, so they do not pay attention to cultural education.

At that time, many princes were standing on the side, and they did not come forward for a long time, the crown prince Lu Yunchen had not yet ascended the throne that year, he was just hiding in his mother's palace, a poor baby who was not welcomed, this important occasion, all the princes followed their mothers, and Lu Yunchen's mother was beaten into the cold palace, so naturally there was no chance to come.

At that time, there was only Lu Yunchen who was the same age as Xinsong, however, at that time, no one would have thought of letting him play, nor would they ask him to participate, and everyone automatically blocked the existence of this prince at that time.

The eldest prince's martial arts are strong, but compared to Xinsong, the age difference is too big, and the third prince is a scholar and weak, so it is even more impossible, so because of this competition, therefore, the Qing Kingdom is in a dilemma.

At that time, Xinguang looked at this scene, and he was very proud, he was proud that Emperor Qi He had so many sons present, but he was not as powerful as one of his sons, he even endured the pride in his heart and said a cool word:

"That's it, this prince grew up in the grassland since he was a child, walking with wolves, and his courage and strategy can be called the first among the young people of the grassland, Your Majesty of the Qing Kingdom, there is no need to compete in this written test, after all, if you win, Xinsong is also a victory, there is really no need to compete."

It was such a sentence as Xinguang, Lu Qingze, who had been standing on the side and was not noticeable at all, stood up at this time.

He saluted Emperor Qi He, at a young age, with a wisdom different from this age in his eyes, he only heard him say: "Father, the son asks to go to war." ”

At that time, Lu Qingze was only ten years old, not as tall as Xinsong's chin, and he looked soft and weak, at that time, Queen Wan wore light-colored clothes for him all day long, in the words of Queen Wan, children should have the appearance of children, therefore, Queen Wan deliberately did not dress Lu Qingze as Emperor Qi and Emperor Qi back then.

Therefore, it is even more scholarly, and when you look at it, you will not feel that this Lu Qingze is a person who knows kung fu.

At that time, Xinguang looked at such a small person and stood up, and suddenly felt that there was no one to send in the Qing Kingdom, so he could only send a little hairy boy out to fight, and he said in an indifferent tone at the time: "Your Majesty of the Qing Kingdom, there is no need for this competition to continue." ”

However, Lu Qingze, who looked like a little lamb waiting to be slaughtered, spoke up next time at this time: "Father, the son asks to go to war." "At a young age, there was unmistakable firmness in his tone.

Emperor Qi He was overjoyed, he understood the ability of his fourth son, so Emperor Qi He did not hesitate at all, and opened his mouth: "Okay, fourth, you will compete with Prince Xinsong, remember, don't hurt each other." ”

"Yes~" Lu Qingze bowed.

As soon as these words came out, he laughed at Xinguang, he looked at the white and tender scholar boy in front of him, who was not as tall as his son, and asked: "Fourth prince, take the liberty of asking, how old are you?" ”

"Back to the vassal king, I am ten years old." Lu Qingze spoke again.

"Aren't you joking? Wait a minute, what if Xinsong hurts you? Your Majesty of the Qing Kingdom, for the safety of the four princes, you better find a prince of the same age as Xinsong to come over, this is a difference of two years, Xinsong is not light or heavy, and if you are a little ruthless, it will be terrible. Although Xinguang was very proud of his son Xinsong, he also understood that for the sake of peace between the Qing Kingdom and the vassal state, neither side could be seriously injured, especially the Qing State.

There are too many places where their vassal kingdom needs to rely on the Qing state, and if the friendly exchanges between the two countries are cut off because of this trivial matter, it will be more than worth the loss.

Therefore, New Light is opposed to the competition between these two young people.

The Qing Kingdom was able to send a prince who was so young and so weak to come out to fight, which shows that the Qing Kingdom really does not pay attention to the cultivation of martial arts, which also left a mind for the new light at that time.

If it is a war and competition in the future, this Qing country will not be able to play the vassal country, however, his idea is just his own speculation after all.

"Please don't worry about the vassal king, father, if the son is injured halfway, it is the creation of the son, the son just wants to compete with Xinsong today, and please ask the father to give the son this chance."

Lu Qingze actually disdained the vassal kingdom in his heart, and Lu Qingze originally disdained to make a move, but he was too arrogant to look at that Xinsong's eyes, so he decided to kill his sharp spirit.

Let him know what it means that there is a heaven outside the sky and there are people outside the people.

Therefore, Lu Qingze made up his mind to compete with this Xinsong.

Xinguang originally wanted to say something, but was blocked by Emperor Qi He's mouth: "Then in that case, fourth, you go to the competition, you don't have to worry about the vassal king, the competition between the children, it doesn't matter if you get a little injured, it won't affect the friendly exchanges between our two countries." ”

As soon as these words came out, New Light stopped talking, after all, the words were so clear, there was no need for him to stop him.

New Light thought to himself, but if he loses face, don't regret it.

Immediately afterwards, I only heard Emperor Qi He continue: "Fourth, you should start lightly later, but don't hurt Xinsong." ”

Lu Qingze nodded: "Yes, the son-in-law obeys the order, please rest assured that the son-in-law will definitely pay attention to the strength." ”

Emperor Qi He looked at Lu Qingze's heroic appearance, and his heart became more and more satisfied.

Xinguang felt that this Emperor Qi He really wanted to save face and suffer the crime, these four princes were so young and Xinsong, how could they hurt Xinsong? Xinsong was on the grassland, but he could beat a martial arts practitioner who was five years older than him.

So, Xinguang also began to instruct Xinsong: "Xinsong, you must also pay attention to some strength later, and don't hurt the four princes." ”

Xinsong nodded: "Father, because Erchen has practiced martial arts for two more years, Erchen feels that he is fighting against the four princes, and he is not victorious, and Erchen is willing to compete with the four princes with only one hand." ”

But Lu Qingze refused without hesitation, only to hear Lu Qingze say coldly: "No need, just go all out, even if I lose, I have to lose frankly, not to mention, I will win." ”

When he said this, he had the bravery of Emperor Qi He back then, and his whole body exuded an indescribable charm, as if he was not the same person as the weak fourth prince before.

The new light was also stunned for a while, why would a boy who was only ten years old be so domineering?

When Xinguang came back to his senses, Emperor Qi He spoke again: "As my son, Prince Xinsong, you don't have to be humble and go all out." ”

So, the prince of the Qing Kingdom and the prince of the vassal kingdom began to compete, at first Xinsong was actually contemptuous, and when he came on the field, Xinsong also said to Lu Qingze: "If you can't beat it later, just admit defeat, I won't show mercy." ”

Lu Qingze only sneered: "If you agree, I will give it to you." ”

When the two stood still face to face, Lu Qingze said: "Let's start, please advise more." ”

Xinguang clasped his hands in front of his chest, and couldn't stop it, he waited for Lu Qingze to be beaten down by Xinsong.

However, the next moment, it was on that proving ground, and in less than two rounds, Xinguang watched Xinsong being beaten down by Lu Qingze, who was still the fourth prince at the time.

Not to mention standing up, Xinsong can't break free.

The new light was dumbfounded.

He turned his head and looked at Emperor Qi He, who was sitting behind him and was enjoying tea very leisurely, dumbfounded.

Later, Xinsong was not convinced, and Lu Qingze accompanied him to rematch two more games, however, these two games were lost as usual, and even, in the next two rounds, he was beaten down almost instantly.

The new light was convinced.

It was from that time that Xinguang was determined to train Xinsong to be a young man like the fourth prince Lu Qingze, and that day, Xinsong, who also won from time to time, lost the battle for the first time, or in a person who was two years younger than himself.

Xinsong secretly had a thought in his heart that day, and he would definitely win over Lu Qingze in the future.

Now, 10 years have passed since the last youth meeting.

In ten years, Prince Xinsong became the prince of the vassal state, Lu Qingze became His Royal Highness King Yunqing, and Princess Xinyun has also grown up.

To be honest, Lu Qingze and Lu Yanshao were still a little curious about what Xinsong Xinyun had become, and the crown prince Lu Yunchen was completely unfamiliar with Xinsong Xinyun of the vassal country.

When the envoys of the vassal kingdom came into everyone's eyes, Lu Qingze ordered the city gate to be opened to welcome the vassal envoy into Beijing.

A few days ago, Prince Xinsong, who had disappeared without a trace and could not be found, once again rode a tall horse and appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Princess Xinyun retreated into the carriage again, and couldn't see her true face, the convoy of nearly fifty people entered Beijing to see the gifts of Emperor Qi He, and carried ten boxes, which were what they were, no one knew.

With the mighty entry of the mission into Beijing, everyone saw the true face of Prince Xinsong, his hair was tied into many small braids, and his head was tied behind his head, revealing a smooth forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes were a little different from their Qing people, they were light colors, the bridge of the nose was a gutter nose, the eyes were sharp, the face was full of shrewdness, sharp edges and corners, prominent cheekbones, and a pair of attractive ears were particularly swaggering.

The dress is the most distinctive riding costume for their nomads, and the Qing costume is different from the Qing costume, the Qing country clothes have wide and long sleeves, the skirt is scattered, and the skirt fabric is mainly silk brocade, which is soft and comfortable to fit the body, and the whole body is quite temperamental.

The costumes of the vassal kingdom are short and concise, the sleeves are appropriately cut, the fabric is mainly hard linen, endurance, close-fitting, infinitely highlighting the characteristics of the figure, and it seems to be flamboyant, which also reflects the saying that they are a nation on horseback.

When the envoy led by Prince Nisho entered the city gate, the ministers and the people standing on both sides of the city gate began to shout in unison:

"Welcome the vassal mission to Beijing."

The vassal kingdom waved his hands around him in thanks.

In the end, the crown prince Xinsong raised his hand, and the vassal envoys behind him all stopped, and the prince of Xinsong froze in front of the three princes, Lu Qingze, Lu Yan, Shao, and Lu Yunchen.

"Xinsong, do you still know this king?" Lu Qingze looked at Xinsong's appearance and took the lead to speak.

Xinsong looked at the man in front of him, dressed in a luxurious prince's court clothes, with a tall posture and graceful demeanor, and the whole person's appearance was peerless, Xinsong was stunned, "Are you?" ”

Lu Qingze looked at Xinsong with a look that he couldn't remember, and Lu Qingze suddenly felt happy in his heart, "Ten years ago, you competed with this king in the trial ground, do you remember?" ”
