Above the court.

The envoys of the Jin State walked through the path formed by the retreat of the officials on both sides, with a pair of eyes with some rebelliousness and fierceness, looking directly at the emperor on the dragon chair, bowing slightly, and saluting the emperor, "The four princes of the Jin State, Hongchou, Jin Yi, see Emperor Da Chen." ”

Judging from his appearance, Jin Guozheng Hongchou is a typical grassland person, with braids unique to Jin Guo, high eyebrows and big eyes, burly body, and his demeanor and actions reveal strength that cannot be ignored.

Of course, he can't be ignored, he is the "killing general" who killed 90,000 soldiers of Chen State in World War I! ”

After seeing these two people, a proud smile appeared on the emperor's face, "Fanguo envoy, when you see me, why don't you kneel down and pay respects?" ”

"In my country, I also have the right not to kneel when I see the emperor." Hongchou smiled casually, "No matter which country's emperor, it's the same for me. ”

"Presumptuous!" The emperor stretched out his hand and patted the imperial case, and his face had already sunk.

"The emperor is angry." Lin Shuai raised his eyebrows lightly, "The fourth prince is here, is it a courtship, or a provocation?" ”

"Of course it's a courtship." Hongchou was even more disdainful than him, "It's just that your emperor is so rude, only slaves will kneel when they see their masters, if you force people too much, it's a big deal for us to go." ”

"Your Majesty, you can't let them go." Father-in-law Fan reminded in a low voice, "If they are allowed to leave like this, what will be my face of Da Chen." ”

The emperor had to swallow this breath and turn his energy back to dealing with Hongchou, "Hongchou, you ......"

"Wait." A shrill but steady voice came from behind the curtain, overshadowing the emperor's voice.

The Queen Mother lifted the curtain, "Hongchou, are you so presumptuous in front of your father?" You don't want to deceive the mourning family, you don't have the right not to kneel at all, why, if you kneel to your emperor, you can't kneel to our country? ”

At this moment, the hall was silent, and Hongchou raised the corners of his mouth slightly because of the obvious rift between the queen mother and the emperor, "The lesson of the queen mother is that Xiao Wang is tired all the way, and it is inevitable that he will be a little confused." ”

After that, he smiled modestly and knelt in front of the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old." ”

The courtiers also knelt down together: "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”

"Flat."

The emperor's eyebrows jumped, and his right hand clenched on the table, all of which were all in full view.

Hongchou stood up and looked at the emperor's face, "Hongchou is lonely and unheard, I only know that Chen Guo has the queen mother, I don't know that there is an emperor, when I saw it today, I thought I could open my eyes, but I was really disappointed." ”

Even some people in the city couldn't stand his deliberate agitation, not to mention that the emperor was young and vigorous, and his face immediately turned red.

"This king has long heard that the four princes are lonely and unheard." King Qi said coldly: "When I see it today, it really lives up to its name." ”

Hong Chou smiled indifferently, and locked his eyes on His Royal Highness King Qi: "Thank you His Royal Highness King Qi for meeting today, I have long heard that His Royal Highness King Qi is wise and brave, even more powerful than your brother, and has the ability to replace him, if there is such a day, this king will definitely support His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

The emperor couldn't hold back any longer, he was angry, and said loudly: "I can only talk about heroes, what kind of hero, if you have the ability, don't just use your tongue to benefit, how about we compete!" ”

It's just a competition, Hongchou won't make a move in person, most likely he will let the golden wings around him come and deal with him, but it's not so difficult, and there is still a lot of certainty in winning him.

Lin Shuai said: "Our Dachen customs are different from your country, we like to speak with strength, we don't like empty talk, especially men don't like to be verbose like a woman, the fourth prince, I think you still follow the customs, say a few words, how about saving some effort to learn?" ”

Hongchou's gaze swept over them, and he suddenly laughed out loud and said: "The kung fu king of the second marshal of the Lin family has been taught, there is nothing unusual, there are many opportunities to see on the battlefield, so there is no need to rush at the moment." ”

"Do you dare! Don't dare to say it early. The emperor said angrily, "Don't talk about these things." ”

"Dare, why don't you dare?" Hongchou's eyes suddenly turned cold, "But this competition, it has to be interesting, our Jin country, every woman will ride a horse and shoot arrows, on the battlefield, so our Jin country will be invincible, and you will be defeated and retreated, unlike the men of your country, like women, they will only hide in the house and embroider, I think any woman in the Jin country can beat the men of your country." ”

There was an uproar.

If Jin Guo sent a woman, Chen Guo said that he couldn't send a man, and if he lost, he would be embarrassed.

And winning a little girl is not necessarily a glorious thing.

"Is there any man in your country who wants to fight with a little girl and earn a good reputation for bullying the weak?" A bright smile rippled on Hongchou's face, but there was no smile in his eyes.

He just recognized that there was no woman in Chen Guo who practiced martial arts, no matter whether she won or lost, it was not good.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and the people were afraid to answer.

The emperor suddenly said loudly: "We, Chen Guo, have always been pitiful and cherished jade, but we are not without heroines, I have long said that you are lonely and unheard, and today I will let you open your eyes." ”

As soon as the emperor's words fell, General Chu and Shen Yi sighed in their hearts.

Ruojun her, but in order to save Concubine Liu, she cut her arm, used her own blood as a medicine, and after absorbing a full cup of blood, she immediately became weak and couldn't stand steadily.

If you insist on fighting, the wound will definitely crack open in the process of the competition, and you will be at a disadvantage, if you lose, you will not be laughed at by Chen Guo.

The emperor's eyes were shining, and his burning gaze fell on General Chu, "General Chu Minggang, can you be in the mansion?" ”

General Chu met the emperor's expectant gaze, slowly took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Little girl, she ...... She is infected with a cold today, and she is recuperating in the house, so I am afraid that she will not be able to fight. ”

He would rather Chen Guo bear the infamy of not daring to fight, and would rather Chu Ruojun be ridiculed for losing the chain at a critical moment in her majesty on weekdays, and he would not let her lose in front of so many people.

If he had to fight on his own, he would never give up, but that was his only daughter, and he couldn't push her into this fire pit.

Hongchou was a little surprised when he heard that they still had women heroes in Chen Guo, and wanted to see it, but at this moment, seeing that Chu Minggang had the intention of retreating, his heart settled down, and he sneered: "Your country, is there really not even a woman who can handle it?" ”

The competition has always been to the point, will not give the opponent major damage, accept this challenge is not a very dangerous thing, at most is to lose, face and reputation damage, but do not accept the opponent's challenge, that reputation may be damaged more.

Everyone's eyes were focused on General Chu, and they were already talking in a whisper.

The Queen Mother stared at her fixedly for a while, her tone was serious, with a meaning that could not be refused: "The mourning family saw that she was alive and well on weekdays, how could she be infected with the wind chill at the critical moment, it was just a wind chill, it didn't matter." ”

As soon as General Chu opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the Queen Mother, passing on the will of the mourning family and letting the Chu family enter the palace quickly! ”

Her voice is not high, but it carries the majesty of a human king.

This will was transmitted very quickly, and it didn't take long for Chu Ruojun to appear in front of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu with a confused face, she looked pale and indeed a little haggard.

Chu Ruojun looked around, isn't it Yuanhe on the first seat?

That nine-clawed golden dragon, that golden dragon chair, how can you not be mistaken, he is actually the emperor?

Although she was puzzled in her heart, she did not delay the salute, and after the ceremony, the Queen Mother looked at her expressionlessly, her voice was gentle, and the majesty in her words was not reduced, and said: "Chu family, the mourning family summoned you because the envoy of the Jin Kingdom intended to ask you for advice, I don't know if you should fight?" ”

Only then did Chu Ruojun turn sideways and glance at the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, his eyes fluttered.

These two people again, who had just been taught a few days ago, reappeared today.

"Fourth prince, the little girl is indeed injured, can you prepare first and make an appointment another day?" General Chu asked Wen Yan.

Hongchoi categorically refused: "No." ”

"Why?"

"I've only been on your mission for a few days, and if Ling Yan keeps getting sick, I'm afraid I won't be able to compete until I'm gone."

"What does the fourth prince mean is that he must compete here and now?"

"Not bad!"

General Chu gritted his teeth, but he had nothing to say.

However, Chu Ruojun's expression was as usual, and she said expressionlessly: "Teach at any time." ”

As soon as the words fell, Hongchou smiled faintly, and the woman he brought appeared behind him, and said not much: "Miss Chu, please." ”

"Please." The two stood opposite each other and bowed slightly to each other.

At this time, everyone stepped back, giving up a large open space, staring intently at the two girls who were fighting.

After a moment of silence, Chu Ruojun pressed the hilt of the sword and was about to jump out, but saw the man turn around suddenly, pull out a long sword from his waist, and stab at her.

The speed of this sword is really as sharp as lightning, fortunately, Chu Ruojun has already prepared, hurriedly dodged to the side, and then swung out a sword.

The man stabbed the air with a sword, and the three swords in a row stabbed out again, and the move was fierce, where is this competition, it is obviously a duel.

Before a few moves, the clothes on Chu Ruojun's arms had been torn.

Her forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat, and she felt that the wound had ruptured, and a warm liquid was slowly seeping out.

Hongchou said in his heart: It turns out that General Chu is not a lie, and it is not a prevarication that he does not dare to fight.

Her eyes are still proud, but her body and speed are not comparable to those when they met on the road a few days ago.

The man's originally expressionless face contained a little smile, raised his thin eyebrows, and smiled softly: "It seems that you are not very good." ”

Chu Ruojun stared at her and was silent and did not answer.

The man's face turned, and suddenly, his right hand moved back like lightning, and he slashed the sword head and face.

Chu Ruojun was taken aback: "It can still be used like this." The footsteps followed.

While Chu Ruojun was surprised, the long sword carried this dull and dull death light and slashed towards Chu Ruojun's neck.
