Chapter 458: The Imperial Driver Arrives in Person
Shao Ziqing shook his head: "I have long wanted to have a happy competition with you to see if my Heavenly Gang is powerful, or Brother Mu Bai's mastery is better?" ”
Chu Mubai pursed his lips, the two said goodbye, but they met each other in arms, and it was a matter of life and death, which made him uncomfortable.
"I will do my best, and I believe that Shao Xiang will not show mercy."
Shao Ziqing arched his hand at him, and a thousand words were all vividly expressed in silence.
"Shoot! I am the master, Shao Xiang is the guest, not to mention that you are unarmed, please first! ”
Shao Ziqing hid all the energy in the palm of his hand: "Brother Mu Bai is so upright no matter when. ”
As soon as the words fell, a thick Hun Tiangang Qi was already approaching in the direction of Chu Mubai.
The crowd that gathered around to watch the excitement was unwilling to miss such a good opportunity, but just retreated a few feet, avoiding the surging murderous aura of the two, and vacated a space in front of them.
Chu Mubai is good at using spears on the battlefield, and today he is close to each other, and the master is against the enemy, but he has carefully selected a heavy Xuantie long sword.
He knew that Hun Tiangangqi was powerful, so he didn't dare to take it hard, shook his long sword, let out a clear dragon groan, and pulled up the sword wind, which was like a bamboo, breaking through the external barrier of Gangqi.
Shao Ziqing's heavenly aura immediately wrapped his long sword, and he was about to grab the sword empty-handed.
The entire hilt of the sword became hot, like a red soldering iron, and the long sword almost came out of his hand. Chu Mubai was taken aback in his heart, and only then did he really taste the power of Hun Tiangang. Hurriedly sinking the long sword, the long rainbow pierced the sun, and the fierce sword wind swept away the heavenly qi that followed like a shadow. The two internal forces were intertwined, rising from the ground, and a whirlwind several feet high.
"Let's go!"
Chu Mubai was afraid of hurting the innocent, so he scolded, and Shao Ziqing and the two flew up and stood on the whirlwind where the internal forces gathered.
The crowd at the city gate only felt that it was dark, flying sand and stones, and they couldn't even see the scene in front of them clearly. Listening to the scolding above the head, the sound of "bang" and the master's moves, dazzling, dazzling and thrilling.
I can't tell who is Shao Ziqing and who is Chu Mubai. The intertwined figures of the two were like spinning tops at a rapid pace.
Not to mention the winner and loser, who has the upper hand?
This battle, from the morning light to the rising sun, has been fighting until the sun is in the middle of the sky, and the sun is hanging high.
The two of them jumped and moved, in mid-air, on the city wall, and the fight was inseparable.
This battle was so earth-shattering that in the following decades, it became the talk of these spectators and showing off.
They exaggerated about the fierce sword wind when the two were fighting, sweeping everyone's faces, like a knife cutting fire. The sturdy bricks of the city walls were cut off and turned into powder in mid-air, disappearing with the wind without a trace.
Later, the smoke and dust billowed out, the horse's hooves were scorching, and in the muffled sound of rolling thunder, the smoke and sand were annihilated, revealing the whereabouts of thousands of troops and horses.
A woman dressed in a white shirt galloped from a distance. The white clothes rose with the cool breeze of the border pass, fluttering on the back of the bumpy horse, like a cloud from the border pass.
Obviously, there is no wealth and compulsion surrounded by Zhu Huancui, there is no heroic female general murderous spirit, and even, she takes the lead, and she does not have the dignity of the stars holding the moon, but she can attract everyone's attention from the surging killing like stormy waves to her, and even for a long time, she has been watching her ride her horse and whip, gallop to the city gate, stop the reins, and take a long breath.
Behind her was full of smoke and sand, thousands of troops and horses stopped not far behind her, only a red horse crossed the horizontal line, walked behind her, and sneered at her slightly: "What are you doing in such a hurry, I have already said that your brother will never lose to Shao Ziqing." ”
The woman gasped slightly, and there were beads of sweat hanging on the tip of her nose: "The master has made a move, and in a moment, it is life and death, how can you not be in a hurry?" ”
The man behind him was dressed in a purple brocade robe, perfectly outlining a broad and majestic figure, and when his thick eyebrows were stretched or slightly frowned, the cold or proud momentum in his eyes was thrilling.
He slowly raised his hand, then lowered it heavily, with a force like a thousand pounds.
The cavalry behind him dispersed in an orderly manner, surrounding the two people who were engrossed in the competition, and there was a solemn shout of killing, which shook the sky.
The woman raised her eyes, looked at Chu Mubai and Shao Ziqing who were fighting in mid-air, and finally raised her voice and said: "Shao Xiang, stop it!" ”
Just a few words are worth a thousand words.
The fight in the field slowly eased up, and the two gradually regained their strength, and finally withdrew from the circle.
Shao Ziqing turned to face her, his black and red face couldn't hide the clarity and brightness in his eyes.
He smiled slowly, facing thousands of troops, his face did not change, as if he was exchanging feelings with the woman after saying goodbye: "You are here?" ”
The woman nodded: "I think that in the whole world, there may be no one who can invite Shao Xiang back, so I came in person." ”
Shao Ziqing's gaze slowly swept over Mo Guhan's face, and he smiled bitterly: "Being able to work with the emperor to drive the expedition in person, Shao Mou has such a big face, he is simply flattered." ”
Everyone in the audience gasped, no wonder the man in purple was arrogant and contemptuous of everything, and it turned out that he was the king of a country in charge of the world!
The Son of Heaven is favored and unparalleled in the world, so there is no doubt that this woman in white clothes is the queen's mother Chu Yuehua.
Finally, someone was the first to react and fell to the ground, and the rest of the people also knelt on the ground in unison, and the mountain shouted long live, and the sound shook the sky.
Mo Guhan raised his hand, domineering Lingyun: "No courtesy." ”
Everyone stood up, bowing their heads and standing respectfully, not daring to look up.
Mo Guhan also slightly hooked the corners of his lips and faced Shao Ziqing: "When I invited Shao Xiang out of the mountain, I looked at the thatched house, and today Shao Xiang is leaving my Chang'an, how can I not send him off in person?" ”
Shao Ziqing turned his head and looked at the avenue leading to Xiliang outside the gate, and then turned around: "Send each other?" Is the emperor willing to let the tiger return to the mountain? ”
Mo Guhan was silent for a moment: "To be honest, until now, I haven't made a final decision on how to treat Lord Shao Xiang. ”
Shao Ziqing said softly: "You and I have words first, the three chapters of the law, when one day, I am tired of the court, you have to let me go into hiding." One day, I make a terrible mistake, and you will let me live. Today, in front of the people of the world, the emperor will not break his word. ”
Mo Gu bowed his head: "Although, you concealed your identity at that time and entered my Chang'an court as a minister, which was a bad intention, but because of your hard work for my Chang'an over the years, I will not take your life, and I will not break your word and get fat." ”
"The emperor is planning to detain Ziqing in Chang'an and never be able to return to Xiliang, right?" Shao Ziqing smiled slightly, fearless.
Mo Guhan was silent, obviously with this intention.
Yuehua opened his mouth and said: "This is not the place to speak, Shao Xiang, please move, the grievances between you and me should always be explained clearly." ”
Shao Ziqing stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes flickered, and he smiled softly at Yuehua, rippling thousands of spring water, and warming the steep border pass: "Some words, for Ziqing, are also like a fish in the throat, not vomiting and unhappy." ”
Chu Mubai "choked", put away his long sword, and arched his hand at Shao Ziqing, giving him enough respect: "Lord Shao Xiang, please." ”
Shao Ziqing has been surrounded by thousands of troops and horses, and has become a prisoner of Chang'an, but he still holds his head high, as if he is strolling in a leisurely court, and his eyebrows and eyes are full of spirit.
The gates of the city, slowly closing behind him, cut off the way to the west.
The caravans were unfazed, whispering and speculating on the momentum of the situation, trying to piece together the hidden story behind the matter.
In the barracks, Shao Ziqing has changed back to his original outfit, dressed in white fluttering, and the dust is spotless. Rumo's long hair is not combed or tied, draped on the broad shoulders, between the dragons and tigers, the snow clothes and wide sleeves, like a fairy descending.
He bowed his head and walked into the military tent, which was filled with the smell of wine, and the banquet had been prepared.
Mo Guhan and Yuehua sat cross-legged opposite each other, raising their hands at him.
Shao Ziqing lifted the hem of his clothes, sat down opposite, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.
"Very full of gold liquid, a foot of white jade dust in the atrium, or Chang'an's wine is good, the entrance is soft, the aftertaste is long, and it makes people give birth to thousands of children. Unlike our Xiliang spirits, the wine is sad, and the sunset on the yellow sand only turns into pride, without the slightest affection. ”
Mo Guhan filled him with wine with his own hands: "People say that 'the moon is the hometown of Ming', even if he has walked through thousands of mountains and rivers, splendid mountains and rivers, he is always not as nostalgic as his homeland, Shao Xiang seems to be the opposite." ”
Shao Ziqing bowed: "When I came out of Xiliang, I never thought of going back at all. ”
"Do you want to rely on your own strength to lay down a splendid river and mountain in my Chang'an?"
"Not bad." Shao Ziqing frankly confessed to his plot to enter the court.
"I changed my name and surname, settled in Chang'an, traveled around, and in just two years, I was already famous, sought after by the world, and won the attention of the emperor. With my own strength, I subdued the Blood Hall and used it for my use, and the power quickly spread all over Chang'an, and it was not much more than a moment. These are all preparations for entering the court. ”
"I was thirsty for talent, so I went there and asked Shao Xiang to come out of the mountain as a minister. If you have the intention to usurp the throne, why should you help me? ”
Mo Guhan raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it all with Shao Ziqing, as if what the two of them were talking about was not this shocking conspiracy, nor the grievances of life and death, but just the insignificant holiday past between the two old friends.
Shao Ziqing seemed to unintentionally play with the empty wine glass in his hand: "At that time, you were controlled by the Chang family, and you couldn't show your hands and feet, I thought that you were just a chess piece in the hands of the Chang family, a puppet, I could use your strength to compete with the Chang family and the Empress Dowager, as long as I could bring down the Chang family, defeat you, and change hands without much effort." Therefore, I have always spared no effort in governing Chang'an. ”
