Chapter 66: Persuasion
The blue phoenix was still on the offensive, and Chen Mu was no longer defensive, but launched a fierce attack.
After a few hard fights, Chen Mu found that although the steel fork of the Blue Phoenix was rough in workmanship, the material was very good. Chen Mu also had a sword in his hand, and neither of them took advantage of the weapons on both sides.
Therefore, if Chen Mu wants to win, there are only two ways, one is to rely on physical strength, after all, men's physical strength is stronger than women's.
The second is the moves.
Chen Mu is doing just that.
Blue Phoenix's moves were ferocious, and Chen Mu consciously caused the weapon to slash, so Blue Phoenix unconsciously used more and more force.
Suddenly, Chen Mu made a false move, and the blue phoenix used too much force, and he lost his balance in one fell swoop.
Chen Mu saw that the opportunity had come, and quickly kicked out a kick that hit the joint of the blue phoenix's arm. The blue phoenix let out a cry of pain, and the steel fork in his right hand fell to the ground.
Then Chen Mu raised his long sword again and took the empty door in front of the blue phoenix's chest, and the blue phoenix could only use the steel fork in his left hand to resist, and at the same time retreated backwards to unload the force.
Chen Mu was unforgiving, took another step forward, pressed his sword against the steel fork, and pushed forward, and the blue phoenix lost its balance.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Mu shouted, and threw his sword to the side, the sword and the steel fork were entangled, and flew to the side.
In the next moment, Chen Mu's hand had already grabbed the blue phoenix's arm, and with a grappling move, he pressed the blue phoenix to the ground.
The audience was silent.
The Great Xia Army reacted first, raising their arms together and cheering. And the people of the Fulan tribe couldn't believe that their invincible leader, the Blue Phoenix, had been defeated.
And being pressed to the ground, there is no room for resistance.
Chen Mu pressed for a while, and when he saw that Blue Phoenix had given up resistance, he let her go.
Blue Phoenix got up, looked at Chen Mu with a look of adoration, stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Mu and said, "Strong! ”
Chen Mu smiled slightly, and was about to call Li Su over and pass the word to the two, but saw the blue phoenix pick up the two steel forks and kneel down on one knee to present them to Chen Mu.
Chen Mu took a look at it, thinking that it should be some kind of ritual to admit defeat, so he reached out and took it.
At this time, the people of the Fulan tribe suddenly let out a burst of cheers, as if it was a holiday.
Chen Mu felt that something was wrong, why were they so happy when they lost? Looking at the blue phoenix's face flushed with excitement, he felt that something was wrong.
At this time, Li Su walked over, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for tying the knot in Dongyue." ”
Only then did Chen Mu react, "What? Was that what she was proposing? ”
Li Su said with a smile: "Yes, this is the custom of Dongyue, if the loser in the duel offers a weapon, it means a marriage proposal, and the winner accepts the weapon, which is equivalent to accepting the other party's love." ”
Li Su looked at Chen Mu's reaction, frowned again and said, "Doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know?" I think you had a pretty good time when you received your weapon just now. ”
Chen Mu smiled bitterly, he just saw a similar plot in his previous life, so he took it easily, who knew it would be a marriage proposal.
"I thought I was accepting surrender."
Li Su: "Oh, if it's a duel between two men, it does mean surrender, but if the loser is a woman, you have to add the meaning of marriage proposal." ”
Chen Mu: "There are still such rules? Are there many female warriors in East Vietnam? ”
Li Su pointed at the army of the Fulan tribe, "Look over there." ”
Chen Mu turned his head to look, and sure enough, he found a lot of female warriors, so they mixed with male warriors.
Looks like there really is such a rule.
"In that case, then I'll reluctantly marry him."
This blue phoenix doesn't look very old, and it doesn't mean that Chen Mu has been wronged.
Li Su smiled again: "That's really good, the Fulan tribe has solved it so perfectly, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bring troops into the city." ”
Chen Mu nodded, walked towards the blue phoenix, and pulled her up. The people of the Foran tribe cheered again.
Chen Mu thought to herself, fortunately she couldn't understand what she said just now, otherwise she would have to die of anger.
Li Su stepped forward to say a few words to the blue phoenix again, and then Chen Mu led the troops into the city.
There was no ceremony for the Dongyue people to get married, but they invited the generals and officials of both sides to drink a meal in the main hall, and Chen Mu and Lan Phoenix were considered two people.
However, of course, the Dongyue people also have a tradition of entering cave houses.
In the cave room, Chen Mu and Blue Phoenix didn't talk much, and they didn't have to speak.
The next day, Chen Mu took care of the Blue Phoenix for a day.
On the third day, the two sat down with the generals and officials, and Li Su translated and began talks.
There was no problem with the alliance, but Chen Mu asked, "Can Blue Phoenix continue to serve as the leader of the clan?" ”
Li Su nodded and said: "Yes, in the culture of Dongyue, the married parties do not have to live together, and it is common for them to live separately after giving birth to children. ”
"When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns to Great Xia in the future, the Blue Phoenix can also stay and become the leader of the Fulan tribe."
Chen Mu was overjoyed, "That's good!" ”
Chen Mu didn't want Blue Phoenix to be the leader of the Fulan clan. Instead, let the Blue Phoenix stay and manage the East Vietnam region.
Unlike Nanban, Persia, and grassland, the landscape and landform of Dongyue are very close to that of Bactria so that Chen Mu plans to directly incorporate it into the territory of Bactria as the sixth region in addition to the Central Plains, Dongyuan, Xishan, Beiqiu, and Southern Xinjiang.
East Vietnam region.
However, the administration will be different from that of Great Xia itself. Chen Mu's idea was to make the Dongyue region a special zone, and then transition little by little.
Slowly, it became the same place as the Five Districts of Great Xia.
This requires a "mentor", and Li Su is the best candidate for the instructor.
Of course, Chen Mu has only subdued the seven tribes of the Mountain God Sect now, and in the southeast, there are still eight tribes that believe in the sea god, waiting for Chen Mu to conquer.
Next, Chen Mu began to arrange the dispatch of troops.
In the end, it was decided to send out 3,500 invincible flying troops, 1,500 Wudang flying troops, and 10,000 Great Xia reserve troops.
There were 5,000 people from the Fulan tribe and 10,000 from the other tribes.
Add up to 30,000 troops, choose a day to go on an expedition to defeat the Poseidon faction.
The route of Great Xia was led by Chen Mu, and the route of Dongyue was led by Blue Phoenix, plus Li Su's translator.
The army first reached a tribe near the sea to the east, the Haikang tribe.
When he arrived at the periphery of the Haikang tribe, Chen Mu did not rush to attack, but worked with Blue Phoenix and the others to study the next action.
Chen Mu: "Which of you knows the strength of the Seagod Sect, how many soldiers they have, and what is the ability of the generals?" ”
Everyone talked nonsense, but they didn't know the point, and finally it was the blue phoenix who said:
"I know that the strength of the eight major tribes of the Seagod Sect is at least 20,000. It should be led by the Golden Knife General of the Sea Blue Clan. ”
"This Golden Sword General has led troops to attack the tribes of the Mountain God Sect many times, and has also suppressed other tribes of the Sea God Sect."
