Chapter 7: The Enemy Meets Each Other
Ten years later, in the forty-second year of the Dawei Dynasty, the battle of the warriors was about to begin, and people from all walks of life gathered in Ruian City.
It is the sunset and the sun is enchanting, fifteen miles outside the city of Ruian, a flat boat floats on the Seser River.
There was a woman in white on the boat, standing silently in the afterglow of the sunset, facing the lonely river.
Mother, it's been ten years, and Qi'er has come back to see you. Did you sleep well at the bottom of the river?
Mother, don't worry, Qi'er will avenge you.
The woman mourned by the water, and silently recited the meaning of missing her deceased mother in her heart. She is Jiang Qi, who was brought into Eagle Eagle Mountain by the Hidden Country Master ten years ago.
The fishing boat on the river sailed over, and the fisherman on the boat looked back at Jiang Qi curiously. I wondered what this woman was doing. Why don't you see the boat? How can there be a boat drifting with the waves?
How did he know that people were sailing with their own strength, and they didn't need to use oars.
In the distance, a majestic building boat sailed over, and several small building boats guarding it were more than ten feet behind. On the main building ship, in addition to the seven princes favored by Emperor Qingli and the son of the noble concubine, Zhao En, the king of Liyang, there are also Xiao Xuan, the king of Qi with a different surname, Xiao Zhaoyi, the second son of the king of Qi, and Xiao Zhaoyun, the lord of Yishui County.
This year, the country of Qi has been flooded for thousands of miles. The king of Liyang inspected the disaster on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and worked together with the king of Qi to manage it properly, and finally ensured the safety of one party. coincided with the three-year Hajj period, and the King of Qi took the initiative to write to Emperor Qingli, and was allowed to enter Beijing with the King of Liyang, just in time to observe the ten-year martial arts decision.
Xiao Zhaoyi was once named the "Prosperous Gentleman" by Emperor Qingli Yukou, and one of the purposes of this trip to Ruian was to participate in the decision of the warriors, in order to make a name for himself in the martial dynasty.
It is said that this warrior's decision can be regarded as a benefit for meritorious families, in-service generals, and official eunuchs, because only people from these families can participate, and ordinary people and talented people in the rivers and lakes are not eligible to participate.
The boat was getting closer and closer to Ruian City, and the heroic King Qi frowned, rubbing a jade unicorn and falling into deep thought.
King Liyang is good at observing words and feelings, and he is aware of the strangeness of King Qi, so he is smart not to explore. will soon arrive in Ruian City, King Qi is worried about his father's summons, after all, it was rumored that King Qi had bad intentions in the country back then, and it was only empirical.
Now that I think about it, no matter whether the rumors of rebellion are true or not, King Qi should not be underestimated.
After all, eighteen years ago, Xiao Xuan had no chance of being crowned King of Qi, and if it weren't for his eldest brother, Xiao Han, the former King of Qi who had only been in the throne for two years, suddenly died violently, and had no heirs after his death, Xiao Xuan would not have become the King of Qi at all.
It is strange to say that the plague of bandits and rangers in the feudal state of Qi was serious, but after the king of Qi ascended the throne, he calmed down the troubles one by one, and under his governance, the strength of Qi ranked first among the powerful vassal states, so strong that it even caused his father to kill him. Maybe this person really has a talent for governing the world.
Fortunately, ten years ago, in order to dispel his father's doubts, Xiao Xuan took the initiative to send his son Xiao Zhaoxian to Beijing as a proton.
The king of Liyang turned his gaze to the outside of the building boat and enjoyed the scenery. The autumn colors on the river are very good, and Jiang Qi, who is lonely and dressed in white, also broke into his eyes.
The eyes of the county lord of Yishui followed the king of Liyang.
"Your Highness, Your Highness......"
Xiao Zhaoyun called shyly and timidly, but he couldn't recall the interested gaze of King Liyang. It's a pity that such a focused gaze is not at her.
Xiao Zhaoyun noticed the woman on the river.
"Brother, look at the woman in white, what is she looking at......" Gathering up the arrogance and arrogance of the past, the innocent and charming side face of the county lord of Yishui is still attracting the attention of the king of Liyang.
"Where's the man?" Xiao Zhaoyi turned around, his eyes froze, what a beautiful woman in autumn.
Xiao Zhaoyun saw that his reaction was amazing, and he was not happy, pursed his lips, and muttered: "Vulgar powder, what's so good." ”
She is seventeen years old, the daughter of the king of Qi, and this time she entered Beijing with her father and brother. Although His Majesty did not say it explicitly, she guessed that His Majesty was probably going to marry her, and as for the candidate, of course it was......
She glanced at the king of Liyang, but found that the other party, like her brother, was looking at the woman on the river intently.
But the woman who was watched stood on top of the boat under the gaze of everyone, motionless, not even a look.
Jiang Qi in the eyes of King Liyang, dressed in white, with a lonely back, only staring at the river in front of him in a daze. The autumn wind blew her falling black hair, and her fluttering clothes set off a bit of fluttering. But her body exuded a coldness, more bleak than the autumn wind, and the empty rejection was thousands of miles away.
"Interesting! Traveling with internal strength, this woman's origin is not simple. ”
Hearing King Liyang praise the strange woman, Xiao Zhaoyun flattened his mouth in displeasure. She was so angry that she threw out a few walnuts, but she didn't hit the woman, but she disturbed the calm of the river, and the water surface was like a rabbit that had eaten pain, and it was pushed out in a circle.
"Hey, that bold girl, the county lord is here, get out of the way......"
Her heart was full of contempt for the woman on the river, and she thought that the other party was a lowly person who intended to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and was pretentious.
Her mother, Princess Qi Liang, was born in the family of the Marquis of the Xian clan, and has always hated people who came from a mediocre background but vainly tried to climb power and wealth, and show off their style. Obviously, the woman on the river was classified by her in this stream.
On the flat boat, Jiang Qi, who was silently mourning her mother but was disturbed by an uninvited guest, finally threw a glance at everyone, and with just one glance, she could see all the people on the boat.
This casual glance frightened the king of Liyang, why was her eyes like dry water, empty and dead? It is clear that Shaohua is moving, why is the heart old? His interest in Jiang Qi continued unabated.
"What school does the girl come from? But come to Ryan to watch the warrior's decision? He leaned over the railing and asked.
The more the King of Liyang expressed his curiosity, the more unhappy Xiao Zhaoyun felt in his heart.
"What do you see, when you see the king of Liyang and the lord of this county, you don't bow down and bow down!"
The coquettish snort is a naked provocation. Xiao Zhaoyun showed the nobility and superiority brought to her by her family background.
Some people, with just one glance, become enemies. What's more, they are still old acquaintances.
Jiang Qi was silent like a shadow, and he didn't say a word. She was so proud that she didn't bother to argue with Xiao Zhaoyun.
Xiao Zhaoyi, who was watching from the sidelines, relied on his life experience and the intuition of a martial arts practitioner to feel that this woman was not easy to mess with.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, the fire in Xiao Zhaoyun's heart rose up, and he was too lazy to hide his brutal temper.
"What a bold man, what about the county lord asking you, are you deaf or dumb? Don't have a long tongue? ”
Jiang Qi still ignored her, completely contemptuous.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhaoyi motioned for his sister to stop. With a sense of superiority, he apologized to Jiang Qi without much sincerity: "The sister is innocent, it's not that she has the intention to offend, don't think it's strange to the girl." But the girl's delay in replying is she despising me and waiting? ”
The nobleman of the Gaomen is a peerless and handsome man who apologizes, if an ordinary woman listens to Xiao Zhaoyi's words, I am afraid that she will already blush. How will she react?
The King of Liyang played with a walnut leisurely, indulging in a smile with an unknown meaning, he wanted to see if the woman was really indifferent or fake reserved.
The weak girl on the lonely boat stood calmly on the flat boat, confronting the vast and majestic building boat, forming a huge contrast.
From a visual point of view, the small boat and the building boat are no different from the gap between the grasshopper and the big tree. But in terms of momentum, this boat and one person will not lose half a cent.
Jiang Qifang's lips opened slightly, opened and closed gently, and spit out a word: "Get out!" ”
Everyone on the building boat was shocked. If there is wind and thunder on the flat ground, the invisible power will spread, and the waves will rise on the river.
This woman has deep internal strength and can shake water waves. When did this person come into existence on the rivers and lakes?
There are people from the Taoist Qi Alliance in the Liyang Wang's family as guests, and they still have a little respect for the people in the world, so don't mess with it or don't mess with it.
"Girl, this king has no malicious intentions, if the girl has no intention of talking, it will be treated as this king is rude to disturb, please forgive me."
He showed weakness, but Xiao Zhaoyi was unwilling. He didn't come to Ruian City for several years, and this time he came to Ruian City with great ambition to make a name for himself, and he was scared by a woman before he entered the city.
"Girl, although the people of the rivers and lakes are informal, they still want to be respected and humbled......"
"Get out!"
With the exit of the second word "roll", the waves of the river exploded, Jiang Qi moved his palm, and with a flick, the internal force of Qianjun was sent out.
Before the king of Liyang and the others came back to their senses, they found that between these breaths, after the word was spit out, the woman's body exuded an unstoppable thick internal force, like a thousand pounds of wind, rolling up a storm on the Seser River, and in an instant, the huge waves were monstrous, and the gale was blowing. The rolling waves formed a wall of water and smashed into the building they were on, the hull of which was tossed and swayed in the wind and waves.
"If you dare to assassinate the royal family, you deserve death!" In the roaring waves, it couldn't hide the frightened and threatening voice of the Yishui County Lord.
Stupid! It was still the autumn level of the river, and in the blink of an eye, there were waves in the Pinghu Lake, no matter how stupid the king of Liyang was, he knew that this woman was not a general, how could she be coerced in a few words!
"Who are you? If you dare to be so presumptuous, don't blame this king for correcting the law on the spot. "The majesty of the King of Qi is a few points stronger than that of the Yishui County Lord.
However, all these threats were in vain for Jiang Qi. She couldn't retract her internal strength, and the river was still rising and lapping against the boat.
"Your Highness, Your Highness...... County Lord, County Lord...... Help......" The ship was in a wail, everyone was in horror and clung to what could save their lives, and under the terrible waves, manpower could do nothing.
"Father, be careful!" Xiao Zhaoyi pulled the county lord of Yishui with one hand and supported the king with the other.
"Take it for this king!" In the chaos, King Qi gave orders.
More than a dozen guards drew their swords and rushed towards the woman in the river, but before they could get close, they were hit by the air, fell into the water one after another, and were swallowed by the river in a blink of an eye.
The king of Qi was angry, this woman had a bad temper, and if she didn't agree with her, she dared to commit a crime regardless of respect and humility. It's the other way around! No matter how rampant you are in the rivers and lakes, shouldn't you bow your head obediently when you see the royal dignitaries?
"Stop, don't stop, I don't mind working with women." Xiao Zhaoyi continued to move out of his world-famous nickname.
Jiang Qi ignored it at all, and continued to set off a river of waves, and the invisible internal force guided the huge waves to continue to smash into the building boat, the hull of the ship capsized even more, and the ship was full of screams, and it wouldn't be long before the ship was about to sink.
The small building ship behind was also affected, it was bumped and unshaped, and it was too busy to take care of itself, where was the spare strength to rush to the accident center to rescue the main building ship? The people on the main ship had to flee for their lives without a head or a brain, but there was no way to escape, and there were not a few people who fell into the water.
Xiao Zhaoyi, who thinks highly of himself, protects his father and sister, and is angry that he can't spare his hands to clean up the woman in white.
The king of Liyang didn't care to stare at Jiang Qi, he turned over and swayed with the hull of the boat, and when he finally fixed his feet with internal force, he looked back and glared angrily, only to find that the white-clothed man had left, and there was only an empty boat left on the river.
Looking further away, he saw that the sunset was fascinated by the peaks, and in the gorgeous background of rouge toning, a beautiful back was like a cloud and crane flying, and from his sight, it was ethereal and far away.
This woman, he remembered.
