Chapter 65: Worrying for the King
Shang Ximing's sword pointed at Yang Chuan again, although he thought that the person's name was Zhanzhao.
The knife in Yang Chuan's hand also moved with the wind, and in just a few seconds, the two had already exchanged more than a dozen moves, and the sound of Jin Ge colliding was endless. Yang Chuan's knife technique is sharp and furious, which is the ultimate embodiment of strength; Shang Ximing's swordsmanship is sharp and maneuverable, which is a wonderful proof of speed. The two of them showed their own magical powers, and the air around them was killed, and no one dared to approach.
The two of them had a good time, but the battlefield next to them was not so anxious. The guards of the palace gradually defeated the people of the Golden Phoenix Pavilion with the advantage of numbers, even Zhou Yu, who was standing on the opposite bank, could see that the people of the Golden Phoenix Pavilion had fallen into a big disadvantage, and now they could only see who was superior in Shang Ximing and Yang Chuan.
Less than a quarter of an hour passed, and the people of the Golden Phoenix Pavilion were either dead or wounded, and there was no one left who could fight except Shang Ximing. These people are also hard-boned, either killing themselves on the spot, or planting themselves headlong into the ravine, but they didn't leave a single living hole.
Now, the center of the world is focused on the duel between Yang and Shang. After fighting for so long, the consumption of physical strength is naturally huge, and the speed of the two of them finally slowed down, so that Zhou Yu could barely see the moves of the two of them.
But in fact, there is still a certain gap between the state of the two. Although Yang Chuan's overall movements were a little slower, the offensive was still fierce; And Shang Ximing's defense is a little stretched, he was originally a combination of offense and defense, and now he has put all his energy on defense.
Yang Chuan's knife fell again and again, Shang Ximing tried his best to block it again and again, and after dozens of moves, Shang Ximing couldn't keep up with Yang Chuan's movements. Finally, Yang Chuan found an opportunity and slashed at Shang Ximing's chest, and Shang Ximing's body flew out immediately.
The battle is over, Yang Chuan wins!
Seeing that there was no danger, Zhou Yu asked a guard to take him across the ravine and return to this side.
Shang Ximing lay on the ground, covered the wound on his chest with a painful face, looked at Yang Chuan and said, "You can defeat me early tomorrow, why do you have to wait until the end to make a move?" ”
"I have heard that Jin Lingyue has an exclusive secret that can improve people's internal strength in a short period of time, but there are some side effects. I thought you would, and I still wanted to see and understand, but I didn't think that your strength would end here, which really disappointed me. Yang Chuan regained his usual dead fish face.
"I'm not as good as you, I admit it. But in front of the Cabinet Master, you are just an ant. Shang Ximing's aura had weakened, but he seemed extremely calm at the moment, as if death was not so terrible for him. Then, he came up with a nonsensical sentence: "I advise you to think about yourself and leave a way out for yourself, King Yu is not as good as King Xiang and King Jin in the capital!" ”
"Shut up!" Yang Chuan immediately interrupted him.
"Hahahaha......" Shang Ximing laughed for a while, and then kissed his neck with his sword, and blood splattered on the spot.
Yang Chuan took a deep breath and instructed, "Throw the bodies of these thieves into the ditch and feed the wolves!" ”
"Wait!" Zhou Yu shouted loudly.
"What's wrong?" Yang Chuan looked back at him.
"These people have taken something as important as mine, and they must be found!" Zhou Yu said anxiously.
Yang Chuan was helpless, so he had to wait for him to search for the corpses.
After almost a quarter of an hour, Yang Chuan watched Zhou Yu put one ingot of silver after another into his arms, and couldn't help it, and asked, "What did they take from you?" ”
"Don't worry, you'll be fine right away...... Got it! Zhou Yu took the two silver ingots of fifty taels in his hands and said excitedly.
Yang Chuan: "......"
I've seen people who are greedy for money, but I've never seen people who are so greedy for money! He searched the money of the dead people, how thick is this man's skin?
Zhou Yu doesn't think so, in the online games he played in his previous life, the monster he fought would explode gold coins and drop equipment, and Zhou Yu's favorite thing was to pick up leaks. That is, others blamed him for picking up money, and now there is a live-action version of the ......
In addition to the silver, Zhou Yu also took away Shang Ximing's sword, which can be compared to the sword used by the royal guard, although there is still a gap between the sword he forged himself, but it should be able to sell for a good price!
Even the sun couldn't stand Zhou Yu's outrageous behavior, and hid directly behind the clouds. The steep mountain forest finally came to an end, and Chen Jin and his men and horses were waiting for their return here.
Seeing Zhou Yu return safely, Chen Jin felt as if there were tears in his eyes, and hurriedly rushed forward to give him a big hug, and then he covered his chest in pain......
"Damn, what do you have in your arms?!" Chen Jin touched his chest that was painful, and said with tears in his eyes, this time there are really tears......
"Some small money......" Zhou Yu touched his head and said with some embarrassment.
Then Chen Jin began to fiercely criticize his wealth obsession, and went from outside the city to Shangzhou City, until Zhou Yu finally agreed to divide the few hundred taels of silver in half, and he refused to give up.
"Here I want to explain, I am not coveting your hundreds of taels of silver, this is a manifestation of friendship, I rushed all the way to Shangzhou for you, as a reward, you should also show it, these silver will be your expression!" Chen Jin was satisfied with the money in his arms.
Zhou Yu looked at Chen Jin for a long time before he spit out a sentence: "Old Chen, you have changed ......"
But no matter what, Zhou Yu finally came back safely. Chen Jin also immediately flew a pigeon to pass a letter to Luozhou, asking them to quickly tell Zhou Yu's family the good news.
In the case of Shangzhou Jinfeng Pavilion, Wu Changzhong had a headache, if he reported the truth, he would be demoted at least and lose his official position at worst. So he could only go to the king of Yu to ask for mercy, hoping to treat this incident as an ordinary rescue operation.
Chen Jin is also a good prince who is empathetic, and immediately agreed to Wu Changzhong's request. But at the same time, he also told him to rectify and educate well, and be good at shepherding the people.
When he finished talking to Wu Changzhong about business, when he returned to his residence, he found that Zhou Yu was missing again, so frightened that he thought that Zhou Yu was tied up again, and only after listening to the guards did he know that Zhou Yu was so hungry that he ran out to find food.
When he returned from drinking and eating, he was ready to set up his carriage and horses, and he was going to leave for Luozhou the next day.
At night, the bright moon hung high, the bamboo and cypress reflected the water, the two walked in the atrium, and Chen Jin told him about the situation of Zhou Yu's family.
"Neither Satsuki nor Shui Ling have ever experienced such a thing, and it is reasonable to be a little flustered. My eldest brother has always trusted me, and he probably didn't think something was wrong with me at first, as I guessed. However, this distress reminded me that learning martial arts cannot be postponed again and again, and once I have a good master, I will start practicing immediately! Zhou Yu first responded to Chen Jin's words, and then began to ask him some esoteric questions.
"If one day, you return to the capital, will you return to Luozhou again?"
"Whether I stay in the capital, or where I should stay, is the final decision of my father and the emperor, I never think about it, because it's useless to think about it." Chen Jin replied.
"If you had to choose, would you prefer to stay in the capital or Luozhou?"
Chen Jin thought for a long time before replying: "It should be the capital, although Luozhou is my fiefdom, but it is closer to my father and mother in the capital." ”
Zhou Yu listened to his answer and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll help you then!" ”
Chen Jin looked at Zhou Yu from top to bottom, and said very suspiciously: "You? ”
"What's wrong with me?" Zhou Yu looked at himself and made sure that there were no ink spots on his clothes, and he was dressed decently.
"I'll admit, you do have some magical abilities, but I'm afraid this kind of thing is not something you can meddle in."
"Yes, let's talk about this kind of thing later......" Zhou Yu didn't dwell too much on this topic, everything was still a wild goose shadow in the clouds, far away in the sky, it must be too early now.
The night is getting cooler, and people go to bed. The clouds that stood in front of the full moon gradually dispersed, once again presenting a flawless white jade disk.
After the last night in Shangzhou, Zhou Yu and his entourage set off back to Luozhou.
With Chen Jin's identity, there was nothing unpeaceful along the way, and everyone returned to Luozhou smoothly.
Chen Jin also knew that the second daughter was anxious, so he sent Zhou Yu home first, and then left quietly.
The moment they saw Zhou Yu, Feng Yue and He Shuiling all put down the things in their hands, and pounced on them, occupying Zhou Yu's left and right shoulders respectively, and the fear and worry of so many days were finally released at this moment.
The longing turned into tears, and quietly wet the shoulders of the beautiful woman.
Zhou Yu calmed down for a while, and the emotions of the two girls calmed down a little. But the person who wanted to hug Zhou Yu was not finished, Shui Er then pounced, Feng Yue and He Shuiling were getting thinner and thinner these days, and the atmosphere at home was also extremely depressing, since Zhou Yu saw her, it was the only time this situation occurred, the grievances in her heart can be imagined, and she also cried in Zhou Yu's arms.
The next one is Li Erniu, Zhou Yu's disappearance made him suffer a great punishment and live like a year.
"Master, you're back, will Juxian Mansion be able to resume business tomorrow?" Li Erniu, who served as Zhou Yu's assistant in his spare time, already knew Zhou Yu's habits better.
"Of course, how much less do we have to make for one less day? You immediately notify you, tomorrow not only will Juxian Lou resume business, but Juewei Fang will also officially open! Zhou Yu commanded.
"Okay!" Li Erniu left happily.
As for Feng Liang, he originally planned to hug Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu somehow always felt a little embarrassed, so he handed him the silver he had scavenged, and used it instead of hugging......
The people are almost hugged, and there are horses!
After being away for so many days, Zhou Yu also missed his foal very much. The spirituality of chasing the wind lies in the fact that he and Zhou Yu are almost heart-to-heart, and when Zhou Yu is in danger, he is restless and warns; When Zhou Yu returned, he had a premonition, and his appetite increased greatly, and he ate all the alfalfa that the child had prepared for him, so that Zhou Yu had to feed it on the spot.
In short, the whole house fell into a sea of joy because of Zhou Yu's return.
……
The capital, the imperial study.
"Recently, there have been frequent changes on the border in the south of the Yangtze River, and Wei Chongshan, the guard of Shannan Province, has been ordered to strictly prevent the attack of the Qianguo!" Emperor Wen looked at the Tang newspaper presented at the border, frowned and said.
"Your Majesty, there is often friction between the two countries, but it is difficult for a life-and-death war to occur, besides, a few days ago, the ordnance bureaus in various places just issued a brand-new weapon armor shield, our civil army is in full swing, how dare the Qianguo provoke at will?" Huang Youzhen, the secretary of the military department, said.
"Yes, thanks to Jin'er for finding Wu'an's iron mine, it has solved the urgent need of my Wenguo army!" Emperor Wen twisted his beard lightly and said with relief.
"His Royal Highness King Yu can be described as the sage king of the world, this is the luck of His Majesty, the luck of Wenguo!" Huang Youzhen worships the first way.
As soon as he talked about Wu'an Iron Mine, Emperor Wen remembered the incident that made him very annoyed.
"Huang Aiqing, you go down first!"
"The minister retired." Huang Youzhen left the imperial study.
"Lin Chun, what's the recent movement on King Lian's side?" Emperor Wen's expression suddenly became serious.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's still the same as usual, nothing special, it's just that I often meet with Liu Xiang recently, saying that it's to discuss the disaster relief in Hebei Province." Lin Chun replied.
"How can it be!" Emperor Wen slapped the table and said angrily: "Is this emperor of Wen Guo me or him Chen Yi, the disaster relief should be handled by the household department, what does it matter to him Chen Yi?" ”
"Your Majesty is angry, a few days ago, Wang Xiang inspected Longyou Road, and Liu Xiang acted as the agent of the household department, and King Lian said that he wanted to donate money from the palace for disaster relief to solve the difficulties of the treasury."
"He really knows how to worry about me!" Emperor Wen sneered.
