Chapter 47 The infighting in Loei

After walking a few steps, he suddenly glanced back at Li Qing, opened his mouth to speak, but did not make a sound. With a silent sigh, he strode out the door.

It wasn't until Lu Ming walked away that Li Qing stood up hatefully, grabbed a vase next to him, and slammed it against the wall. "Bang" accompanied by the sound of the vase cracking, it was actually a scream. Li Qing turned around and saw Yue'er standing at the door pretty, her face pale with fear, her small mouth slightly open, and her eyes looking at her in panic. When she looked again, she found that the fragments of the vase had fallen to the ground at her feet. Inadvertently just now, I almost smashed her.

glanced at Yue'er, although Li Qing was extremely angry in his heart, he couldn't be angry with this childhood sweetheart. He sat down in his chair, rubbed his brow, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" Seeing that Yue'er didn't answer, he added: "Why don't you call someone to report when you come in?" What about the University of Li? ”

Yue'er looked at him with tears in her eyes, looking aggrieved. This appearance made him inexplicably irritated again. "Li Da, come here!" He shouted. A sturdy young man immediately ran over and fell to his knees.

"Aunt Yue is here, why don't you report it first?" Li Qing asked coldly, and the muscles on his face twitched a few times. Li Da has been by his side for many years and knows his expression very well. He secretly complained in his heart, and he did not break it down. He knelt down on his knees, fell to the ground, and said, "The villain knows his mistake, please punish the general." ”

Yue'er bit her lower lip and looked at this sub-picture without saying a word. Li Qing is still gentle with her, where is she going, and when will she report it? Now that he is doing this, isn't he deliberately targeting himself? She was angry and ashamed. Suddenly, with a "wow", he covered his face and rushed out.

Seeing her rush out, Li Qing couldn't know why, and he didn't feel anything in his heart. He said lightly: "Get up, there will be a next time, and you will receive the punishment yourself." Li Qing replied respectfully: "Yes, General." I saw that he had his eyes closed tightly, and he looked extremely tired. He slowly retreated.

Yue'er rushed to the pavilion in the garden, leaned on the jade railing and cried. Hearing her cry, a delicate female voice came: "Yo, isn't this Sister Yue?" How can you cry here? ”

Yue'er didn't look up, she cried to herself, and the voice sounded again: "Yo, I remembered." Sister Yue shouldn't be at the general's place, eating a closed door, right? I mean, you're just an aunt, but fortunately, you should be a little measured, right? The general's study, did you come and go at will? The voice was full of schadenfreude.

Yue'er raised her head and looked at the person, only to see that it was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman, with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup, and the powder on her face was very thick. It was Cuihua, one of Li Qing's concubines.

Seeing such a woman from a Qinglou, she actually showed her face here. Yue'er was furious, stretched out her hand and grabbed her, and shouted loudly: "You bitch, you dare to talk about me? Cuihua didn't expect her to start beating people without saying a word. Panicked and took a step back. Unexpectedly, the group was too long, and he accidentally stepped on it and fell to the ground fiercely.

The place where I fell was exactly where the stairs between the pavilion and the ground were located. At that moment, her body rolled, and her bones fell to the ground. It's covered in sludge.

Yue'er looked at this scene in a daze, she didn't expect that before she could do it, this Cuihua would fall so badly. I couldn't help but be very happy, and I laughed out loud.

Cuihua struggled on the ground a few times, and finally sat up. She couldn't help but blush as she looked at her muddy spots. Hearing Yue'er's laughter again, his face was even more pale with hatred. Glaring at Yue'er heavily, she looked at her maids. Seeing that they were standing far away, they didn't even come to help, so he pointed at them hatefully and scolded: "Good you wild hoof! The master fell, and he didn't come to help him, so bold. ”

Annoyed and ashamed, she reached out and pinched the back of the hand of one of the maids who was helping her. It hurt so much that she screamed and couldn't get rid of her hatred, and she kicked her foot again. only heard the sound of "plopping", and the maid accidentally fell into the pool.

The maid was frightened and frightened, and cried out, "Help, ah——,pounce, help me!" Seeing her turn into a chicken, Yue'er leaned back with a smile.

The maid was terrified to the extreme, waving her hands wildly, crying and screaming, alarming the people of the courtyard. When she finally got up, she realized that the water was only knee-deep.

At this time, Cuihua had been supported by the other maids and slowly stood up. Although she was annoyed with her personal maid, now that she saw Yue'er smiling so happily, she was even more angry. Gritting her teeth hatefully, she suddenly rushed over and pushed Yue'er, who was laughing backwards, towards the edge of the pool. I only heard a "bang", and Yue'er fell into the water.

"Help, save me!" Yue'er's laughter suddenly turned into a cry for help, her face was blue and white, and she was extremely panicked. The place where she fell into the water was in the pool. The water was quite deep. She pounced a few times, and the more she struggled in the water, the deeper she sank. She shouted, "Help, Brother Li, help me!" As soon as he said a few words, his body sank.

Just as he was about to speak again, a stream of water rushed into his stomach. She had a lot of skirts on her body, and when she was wet with water, it was even heavier. It looks like he's about to sink into the water. Cuihua, who was standing on the shore and was in her hands, first scolded: "Okay, weren't you very proud just now?" Now you know that you are scared? Sister Yue'er, don't shout when you call your husband, your brother Li doesn't have the heart to pay attention to you now. ”

As she spoke, she chuckled triumphantly. After laughing for a while, I saw that the moon was sinking more and more, but it didn't float again. I can't help but panic. At the moment, he shouted: "Come on, someone has fallen into the water!" ”

Her screams finally woke up a few of the guards. The next young guard jumped into the water and scooped Yue'er up.

After Yue'er scooped it up, her face was pale and her breath was gone, and she seemed to be hopeless. It wasn't until the guard slapped her on the back a few times, causing her to spit out a few mouthfuls of water, that she began to cry.

Hearing her cry, the frightened maid and maid came up to her. They also knew that their master valued this aunt very much, and now that she had fallen into the water, in case there was a good or bad thing, and they would never be able to please those who watched the excitement.

Chapter Forty-Eight: The Challenge of Terror

The soldiers in the general's mansion were in chaos, and He Ying didn't know it. After she married the fourth prince Zhou Yan, she happily drove to Deyue Tower together.

Deyue Tower, but the world's most famous place. This is not a restaurant, but a manor. In this manor, countless people come here every year. The reason is that here you can see the competition between the most famous beauties of the Six Kingdoms and the most famous swordsmen.

All in all, this place is a place dedicated to those beautiful heroes to compete.

"Brother Yu, don't you know, this Deyue Tower, there will be several competitions every month. Seeing that your body is too weak, my heroism is greatly insufficient. I deliberately took you there to stay there for a while, and get a good dip in your blood. Zhou Yan said proudly while explaining to He Ying.

When He Ying heard this, she secretly complained. She thought it was the location of an opera house, but she didn't expect that it also served as a gladiatorial arena. The bloody fight, she really couldn't be interested.

Obviously, in Zhou Yan's eyes, her lack of interest is a big mistake. Men are self-respecting, where can they be like a girl? He patted He Ying's shoulder heavily, He Ying cried out in pain with cracked teeth, and hurriedly rode his horse out of the way. Zhou Yan said again: "Brother, don't blame the ruthlessness of being an elder brother, if you don't train you to be a man who stands up to the sky, my brother will be in vain!" ”

He Ying smiled bitterly, and thought to herself: I just hope that this brother is not too dedicated.

Deyue Tower is not far away, and after walking for less than a quarter of an hour, it appeared in front of him. He Ying had heard of this mysterious manor for a long time. Now that I take a closer look, I really have an extraordinary atmosphere. It's a house made entirely of stone. The large marble blocks are piled up to resemble the gates of the city wall, which are extraordinary.

There were a few swordsmen guarding the door, and when they saw a group of people coming, they didn't say a word. and put his sword on the line. It wasn't until Zhou showed proof that they nodded and let go.

As soon as you enter the gate, there are five or six large houses made of stone. There is a kind of grandeur in simplicity. He Ying, who is used to seeing wooden houses, couldn't help but be dizzy when she first saw these big houses.

A gravel path leads to a huge marble building in the middle. The trail is lined with woods, but unlike any other place. The trees here have obvious artificial traces. The trees are separated by a few meters, and many of the trunks have the marks of being cut by swords.

When a few people came to the gate, they heard the sound of weapons clashing from inside. Zhou Yan and the others didn't stop, and strode in. When he entered, He Ying found that it was already crowded inside.

The men sat on two sides. There are two swordsmen in the middle.

Zhou Yan and the others strode towards the left side. He Ying saw that these people were dressed almost the same as Zhou Yan and others, and at first glance they were the princes and nobles of the Zhou Kingdom. The one sitting in the middle was surrounded by seven or eight swordsmen. The man's face was somewhat similar to Zhou Yan, and he was about twenty-four or five years old. As soon as Zhou Yan came in, he strode towards him.

Walking up to him, He Ying heard him shout, "Third brother." Only then did I know that the young man should be the third prince of the Zhou State and Liu Shu's sweetheart.

The third prince glanced back at his younger brother, nodded, and said, "Here, sit down." After saying that, he turned his head to look at the middle of the field.

After Zhou Yan said a few words to his brother, he strode back to Zhou Yuan and He Ying. The third prince's eyes glanced at a few people, and then he didn't pay much attention.

Sitting on the other side, the dress temperament is completely different from this side. Their clothes are all placket on the right side. And the hair is not like the Zhou people, all combed back and tied up. Their hair likes to be draped at the back and tied with a crown on top. Admittedly, it looks a little more ethereal.

Sitting in the center of the right head was a young man with a pale face and a grim look in his eyes. The facial features are delicate. Behind him, there were also seven or eight swordsmen. There was a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old swordsman, standing on his right side, with a proud expression and a relatively masculine facial features.

Seeing He Ying staring over there, Zhou Yan said softly in her ear: "That's a Qi person." Sitting in the middle was Qi Gongzili. He was the second son of Emperor Qi and was most liked by his father. Did you see the young man to his right? That person was Gongzili's chief swordsman, and he was a first-class master. ”

It is customary here to talk about the prince and the king, and they all call him a son. Sometimes it is called separately, such as the prince is the prince, and the prince is the prince's.

He Ying nodded, facing the son's gaze. The moment he saw He Ying, his eyes showed incomparable amazement, and then, a smile swept up at the corner of his mouth, and the predatory smile like a wolf made He Ying very uncomfortable. Even if she opened her eyes, He Ying still clearly felt that Gongzi was staring at her, and his eyes were extremely hot, completely staring at her.

He Ying was very annoyed by him, and she opened her eyes with great anger in her heart, seeing that her gaze was still like a shadow. She turned around and walked to the side of the stone wall. There were a lot of weapons on the stone wall, and she took a look at them one by one.

After watching it for a while, the competition on the field seemed to be over. He Ying took off a sword on the stone wall, looked left and right in his hand, and glanced at the field from time to time.

She knew that Childe's gaze was still not a little away, but in her mind, she just ignored him.

In this place, suddenly a voice said loudly: "In the passage of the people of the lower Qi country, I am willing to compete with that son!" As these words fell, a sword was thrown into the field with a "ding" sound.

He Ying didn't care at first, but then felt that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong. I couldn't help but look up. But I saw that everyone was looking at him with burning eyes. And the chief swordsman standing next to Gongzili pointed his finger straight at him.

I? He Ying finally remembered what had happened, and his face turned pale: that chief swordsman, he actually challenged himself!

Her face almost turned snow-white, and the child's gaze was even more proud and determined. At this time, Zhou Yan strode towards her, and he looked nervous.

When He Ying saw him, she stammered to him in a low voice, "Big brother, I can't!" ”

Zhou Yan shook his head, and said word by word in He Ying's almost desperate eyes: "You still have a sword in your hand!" The rules of Deyue Tower are: Everyone here can ask for battle from someone with a sword in their hand! ”

Chapter 49: The Gambling Contract

He Ying's lips trembled, and Zhou Yan said helplessly: "This is too unexpected, only blame me, I didn't explain this to you." Originally, if you brought a retainer, you could also have a retainer go out on your behalf. But you're single. ”

He Ying struggled and asked, "Brother, your retainers, can't you lend me it?" Zhou Yan smiled bitterly: "My retainers, everyone here knows it." In front of a swordsman, it is shameful to resort to deceit in order to escape. I'm afraid that if you do this, even if you don't die, junior brother, all the swordsmen in the world will scramble to clean you up. ”

Seeing that He Ying was so scared, Zhou Yan patted her on the shoulder and said arrogantly: "It's nothing, little brother." It's a big deal! Eighteen years you are a good man again. Little brother, straighten your back, even if you want to die, don't let people look down on you. ”

He wasn't ruthless. In this era, you can cut off your head as a gift, and human life is not worth anything! But dignity is incomparably important. There was once a favorite concubine of a powerful man, and when she saw a swordsman under her husband, she walked a little down. I couldn't help but laugh a little. He was beheaded by the powerful man and given to the swordsman. This is the so-called way of taking a scholar!

Seeing that the matter had come to this, He Ying really straightened her back, she took the sword well and took a deep breath. I thought: Fortunately, I have also learned swordsmanship for so long, and it is not that I have the strength to fight.

She waited for her mood to stabilize a little, and then strode towards the field.

That paragraph stood and waited for He Ying, until she stopped opposite her, and then bowed slightly. After bowing to the two sides again, the paragraph said loudly: "Everyone, the swordsman of the Qi State is leaving the country," Speaking of this, he looked at He Ying, and He Ying said: "He Yu." The paragraph continues: "Challenge He Yu, who has left the country." This sword has a sword, and the villain dares to ask that if the villain accidentally wins He Yu Gongzi, then He Yu Gongzi will be willing to be my master's slave from now on! ”

He Ying and everyone in the audience knew why he was challenging He Ying in that paragraph. But it turned out that Gongzili took a fancy to He Ying and wanted to take the opportunity to take her as a twin!

Zhou Yan Zhou Yuan was even more angry, but he couldn't refute it. Because it is a matter of course to make a bet in a challenge. Even if it's a little excessive, no one can say anything. However, everyone, including the three princes, turned their attention to He Ying.

They saw that He Ying was young, but her physical appearance was extremely graceful, her face was like a jade carving, and her temperament was like a flowing cloud.

Such a stunning color is also a rare treasure in the Six Kingdoms, and it is no wonder that the son is tempted. If it were me, most of them would be tempted. At this time, many people have secretly regretted that they were a step late.

He Yingqi is extremely angry, and now, she is not afraid. Since she came to this world, she has been afraid all day long, and in the end, her life is still difficult to protect. It's better to work as you please. At that moment, she snorted coldly, and said coldly to the obsessive eyes of Shang Gongzi: "Okay, but there are also requirements below!" ”

She looked straight at Childe, looked at the long sword on his waist, this sword was extremely simple in appearance, and from the time she came in until now, the childe had been on the hilt of the sword, and when she occasionally looked back, she was also concerned and careful. It must be a treasure.

said in a cold voice: "Once you win in the next, the son will leave this sword, and you will have to give it to the next, this is the first." As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar at the scene. Everyone knows that Gongzili's sword is the treasure of the Qi country, and it is the Tancheng sword that the Qi people regard as an artifact.

Gongzili listened to her request, his face turned pale, and he thought again: What if she asks? Looking at her gait and expression, she knew that this young man was not a swordsman, how could such a person win. At that moment, he said loudly: "Okay, I promise you." ”

Childe can think of what everyone can think of. At that moment, the crowd was in an uproar for a few moments, and then immediately stopped talking.

He Ying said coldly: "Second, if the son leaves the meson in his hand, if he wins in the next, he will also return to the bottom." Three, if you win in the next place, the son has to come up with 50,000 gold! ”

These two requirements of hers are not simple for Gongzi Li. The meson in his hand is a family heirloom of his ancestors, although he doesn't know what it is used for, but it is also something that cannot be easily given up in the ancestral words. And the reason why He Ying proposed it was not because he attached great importance to this meson. Instead, she felt that there was an aura that she was extremely familiar with in this little thing.

As for 50,000 gold, it is not a small amount. The two countries have diplomatic relations here, and the money given to each other is only 120,000 gold at most. The best swordsman can cut off his head as a gift for a few thousand gold.

Therefore, as soon as He Ying's request was made, Gongzili's face became very difficult to look at. However, he is bound to win He Ying. Seeing He Ying's anticipation now, Shui Lingling's eyes looked at him tightly, as if he was waiting for him to give up this challenge.

He Ying really thought so, and now she was looking at Gongzi Li with a nervous face. I hope that my lion's big mouth can make the son retreat.

Unexpectedly, she was a little tender after all, and her mind was so clear on her face that she couldn't see where Childe was away. At that moment, he laughed, his eyes were clouded, and he replied categorically: "Okay! ”

As soon as this good word came out, He Ying had no point of recovery. She closed her eyes and suppressed her anxiety and panic. Recite the "Lying Moon Exercise" silently, and slowly reach the point where the heart is as calm as water and as clear as the wind. After a while, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she almost had saliva coming out when she saw Gongzi.

He Ying took half a step back, pointed his sword forward, looked at the passage fixedly, and said in a deep voice, "Okay." ”

As she spoke, the paragraph also took two steps back, bowed slightly, and looked at He Ying fixedly. The atmosphere became tense.

Just in the expectation of everyone, a middle-aged man stood up. He glanced at everyone with both eyes, raised his voice and shouted: "Qi State Swordsman Passage, challenge Zhou State He Yu." If the paragraph wins, He Yu will be the slave of the son, and he will not violate the will of the master for life. He Yusheng, then the son left the sword in his hand Tancheng, and the son in his hand. and 50,000 gold. After the challenge, the bet is executed immediately. ”

With that, he raised the long sword in his hand. In the quiet anticipation of everyone, in an atmosphere where the tension can be heard in a heartbeat. He shouted coldly, "Enlightenment—"

Chapter 50: The Duel

With his shout, Duan pointed his sword upward, and then slowly pointed sideways, after doing this ceremonial action, his eyes were staring at He Ying tightly, and the tip of the sword in his hand pointed down at the ground.

He Ying also did the same as the gourd, and the tip of the sword was downward. For some reason, once she was there, her heart was as calm as water. Everyone around seems to be gone. In front of her, there was only the person in front of the paragraph, and the sword in his hand.

It's a strange feeling, it seems to be so pure, and it seems like time has stopped flowing. He Ying completely entered a silent world.

At this moment, he is no longer fearless in his heart. She stared at the passage silently, the sword in her hand motionless.

It wasn't until this moment that the passage was secretly surprised. He never expected that the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy in front of him would actually make himself feel the master realm where the wind can't blow and the thunder just makes a gesture.

She was clearly standing there, but she was like wind and water, unshaped, and people couldn't feel flaws, let alone attack from nowhere.

At this time, everyone on the field also noticed He Ying's abnormality, Gongzili's face became ugly, and then he thought: This He Yu is amazing, his age is there. Besides, Paragraph is the most powerful swordsman under his command. The competition on the field, fighting for one's life at every turn, is not the bloodshed that an inexperienced hairy young man can experience. Thinking of this, his mood was relieved again.

The four princes and others, after seeing He Ying's performance, finally showed a smile on their faces. In their opinion, He Ying's gesture alone has a fight with this paragraph.

The two confronted each other for a while, and the paragraph's body slowly leaned forward, his eyes like wolves, and the killing intent suddenly appeared. However, He Ying, who was standing opposite him, was still as quiet as water and as light as the wind, and he didn't seem to sense his murderous intent at all.

Seeing her reaction, the paragraph was secretly surprised. You must know that many times on weekdays, he relied on this bloody battlefield killing machine to pull the other party to move. If you move, you will lose the opportunity. I didn't expect this He Yu to be really not simple.

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself: Okay! Interesting, I like it!

With this smile, the long sword in his hand slowly pointed forward towards He Ying. Suddenly, he shouted loudly, and the thunder of the sword pierced He Ying's eyes as fast as lightning.

This time, the rabbit rose and fell, and almost in the blink of an eye, he was in front of He Ying. And at this time, He Ying didn't even mention the sword!

In the small exclamation of the crowd. In He Ying's mind, there was a sudden boom, like thunder. Then, she clearly felt that the sword of the paragraph was slowly pointing at her eyes. And this is just his false move, his real killer move is the kick in his abdomen.

At the same time, at this moment, He Ying also felt that he didn't want to kill himself. I just want to hurt myself so that I can guess from my master.

This lightning and flint matter flashed in He Ying's mind. Just as the sword stabbed into his eyes, He Ying suddenly took a small step to the left. He stopped and looked at the passage with a smile.

Passage is a first-class swordsman, and his movements are known for their speed. The people next to him didn't see his move at all, they only felt a sword wind with thunder, and it hit He Ying like lightning, and it was about to stab He Yingshi. He Ying took a step carelessly, causing the sword to fall into the air suddenly!

Another small exclamation came out. Everybody was there thinking that if I did it, I would have a good chance of winning. The more I thought about it, the paler I became.

In the original paragraph, in order to make a big face drop in front of Gongzi Li, he used his proud kung fu with his hand: Thundercloud Flashing Sword! This thundercloud lightning sword is extremely fast, and it is very famous in the rivers and lakes. Among the opponents that the paragraph has encountered, except for He Ying, there are only four or five people who have enjoyed the courtesy of letting him use this trick as soon as he enters the field.

However, what he never expected was that He Ying easily dodged. Even with it, the flying cloud kick that let him go down next also kicked into the air!

The move was short, almost a matter of seconds. A few seconds later, the paragraph stood solemnly in He Ying's original position. But He Ying walked five steps to his left and looked at him calmly.

"Good! Sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager! The paragraph looked up to the sky and laughed. After laughing, his face froze, and with a flick of his sword, dozens of lights and shadows seemed to stab at He Ying's chest slowly.

He Ying only felt that she was very calm, she had never been so calm. Standing here, seeing his heavenly maiden scattered flowers, all the same movements of her eyes suddenly slowed down. Among the dozens of lights and shadows, the small hole between the turns of the sword tip was visible to her at a glance.

Then, with a flick of her hand, the sword in her hand shot out like a flying needle, stabbing into the hole with speed and ease that was almost invisible to the naked eye. I could only hear the sound of "ding" weapons striking each other. The paragraph only felt a strong force rush from the sword into his chest. He was frustrated in one breath and took three steps backwards before he stabilized himself. On the other hand, it is inevitably blue and white.

Finally stood firm, and he saw that He Ying was still the same idle cloud and wild crane, and he was very relaxed and did look at himself. On the extremely handsome face, there is a calmness and calmness that only a grandmaster can have, and he is confident!

This time, it was a big surprise. The first move, although the paragraph did not hurt He Ying. But he didn't suffer any losses. This time was different. The first-class swordsman who was famous in the Six Kingdoms was actually beaten back a few steps by a young boy in full view of everyone, and even his complexion changed. This is no joke.

Childe stood up violently. He stared at the passage viciously. If Gu Nian hadn't been present now, he would have scolded a long time ago. And the four princes and others were surprised and delighted. Only the third prince, after looking at He Ying for a moment, turned his head sideways and asked softly to a middle-aged man next to him, "This little brother, it seems to be a little familiar?" ”

The middle-aged man whispered in his ear: "This He Yu should be He Ying, the last wife of General Li Qing!" I don't know what method she used, but she actually married a brother with the fourth prince just now. Third prince, what do you think of this? ”

The third prince looked at He Ying for a while, a smile slowly pulled out of the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Don't say it, pass on my order and block this news with all your might." ”

The middle-aged man answered softly, and then looked intently at the field.
