Chapter 39: Mountains and rivers are the tables

Zhu Yuanzhang watched coldly, and said in his heart: Although Lan Yu is unruly, he is loyal to the crown prince Zhu Biao, and he deliberately killed him today, as if he intended to contribute to Biao'er. I wanted to say something to stop Lan Yu from continuing to compete, but when I looked up at the smile on Zhu Di's face and staring at Lan Yu coldly on the side, Zhu Quan suddenly changed my mind and said: Di'er is very deep in the city, and Quan Er is a rebellious son who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and letting Lan Yu kill these two boys today may not be a good thing for Biao'er. recalled Zhu Biao's weakness, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. When you make up your mind, you will no longer stop the competition.

Zhu Quan saw that Lanyu's martial arts were superb, and knew that Sima Chao was definitely not his opponent when he fought alone, and he didn't want to fall for Zhu Di's plan to sow discord, so he was about to admit defeat, but saw Sima Chao kneeling on one knee and said, "Your Highness, villain... Before he finished speaking, he heard Jing Jun beside him suddenly say in a deep voice: "The villain is willing to receive General Lan's teachings." After that, he knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, came to the weapon rack, stretched out his hand to pick up the spear, walked to the side of a war horse, and turned over. It looks like he wants to fight alone with Lan Yu.

Zhu Quan had never seen Jing Jun's skills on the horse, so he couldn't help frowning, secretly worried, and asked Sima Chao beside him in a low voice, "Is he successful?" ”

Sima Chao hesitated and said in a low voice: "Big brother, his martial arts are far above me, but he is still slightly inferior to this blue jade." ”

Zhu Quan said quietly: "Take the bow and arrow, if Jing Jun is worried about his life, shoot the bastard surnamed Lan." My father wants to blame, and I will bear it. ”

Sima Chao heard him say this, his heart was overjoyed, his left hand held a bow, but his right hand quietly pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver, and made up his mind that if the righteous brother was in crisis, he would shoot and release the arrow. He has been regarded as a confidant by His Royal Highness King Ning for the past two days, and he deeply feels the grace of encounter, only to know that his martial arts are at most similar to Zhang Yu, but he does not look at humiliation, and would rather die under Lan Yu in a single fight, and fight to the death. He had already risked his life, and at this time, seeing His Royal Highness King Ning say this, his heart was even more grateful, and he looked at the two people in the field without an instant, and when Jing Jun was in danger, he was going to release the arrow, and it was a big deal to cut off the head of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Di watched coldly, with joy in his heart, and his heart was full of hope, hoping that Sima Chao would wait for the next arrow to shoot Lan Yu and remove this confidant from him.

Jing Jun competed with Lan Yu this time, but it was not out of recklessness, he knew that if it was a battlefield fight, the two sides would naturally not care about the means. But at this time, Lan Yu gave Zhu Yuanzhang a strict order not to use bows and arrows, so he could only test his spear skills with himself, speaking of which he took a big advantage, at this time he was coldly holding a spear, and he didn't move, but his hands arched towards Lan Yu who was twenty steps away, and said loudly: "The villain's status is low, so I ask the general to give advice." He didn't gallop towards the other party, but stayed put.

Seeing that the other party did not move, Lan Yu said in his heart that I am the governor of the second grade of the official residence, and I can't just stare at this little soldier in the palace in front of everyone, right? Thinking of this, his legs were clamped, and the red horse galloped towards Jing Jun. When he ran in front of him, his wrist shook, and the red tassels on the spear shook up three bowls of spear flowers, confusing the enemy's eyes, and then the "brush" shot stabbed the opponent's ribs obliquely.

Jing Jun was not moved by his temptation, he saw the opportunity with both hands, the spear swept to the right, and with a "ding" sound, the sparks splashed slightly, and the tips of the two spears hit each other, and the spear of Lan Yu had already swung away. Immediately after that, his hands were reversed, but the shaft of the spear was used as a stick, and he swept towards Lan Yu's head, and in the blink of an eye, it was a counterattack to attack.

When the two horses were staggered, Lan Yu turned his back, dodged the opponent's sweep, and after galloping out for dozens of steps, he turned back, but saw that Jing Jun was still again, just waiting for his horse to attack. couldn't help but be angry, and said in his heart: If it is a battlefield fight, how can there be such an opportunity to give you a leisurely static brake? I shot you to death with an arrow. Although he thought so in his heart, he had no choice but to jump on the horse and shoot again.

Zhu Quan saw Jing Jun's seemingly clumsy and ingenious method, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and said secretly: It seems that the martial arts competition on this horse also has to use his brain, Jing Jun's mount is far inferior to Lan Yu's red horse divine horse, if he is hedged against him, he is afraid that after a few rounds, he will suffer after the horsepower is exhausted. At this time, he did not move at all, but he resolved the disadvantage of his mount.

Although Jing Jun's marksmanship is still not as good as Lan Yu, it is only slightly inferior. The two exchanged more than 20 moves, but Lan Yu still couldn't help him. Jing Jun suddenly thought in his heart at this time: Don't be too ostentatious today, if I can make a draw with Lan Yu, it may not be a good thing for His Highness. Thinking of this, he deliberately stabbed his strength with his old strength.

Lan Yu has fought countless people on the battlefield, has rich experience, how can the opponent hide such obvious flaws from him, his body is slightly sideways, and he let go of the opponent's spear under his ribs, and then let go of the spear with his right hand, and clamped it downward, tightly clamping the opponent's gun, and then carrying the gun with one hand in his left hand, and running towards Jing Jun fiercely.

Jing Jun was helpless, his face showed a look of horror, and he flashed violently, but his body shook and fell off the horse, rolled sideways, and when he got up, he was already disgraced and embarrassed, and said loudly to Lan Yu: "The villain admits defeat, thank you General Lan for your kindness." ”

Although Lan Yu is bent on taking Jing Jun's life today, he will kill the sharp spirit of His Royal Highness King Ning. But in front of the eyes of these many people, he could no longer kill a palace guard who had already admitted defeat, so he had to withdraw the spear and said coldly: "If you don't make a move, you can't be merciful." The last general has no mercy to talk about, and it is all your own ability to save your life today. Saying this, he had already turned over and dismounted and came to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Quan saw that although Jing Jun was quite embarrassed to lose, he was finally not injured, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Sima Chao saw that his brother-in-law was defeated, but he sighed.

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Yan Wang Zhu Di sighed lightly, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang called Jing Jun, looked directly at him, not for a moment, and said lightly: "As a palace guard, you can fight with Lan Yu for twenty rounds, which is already commendable." Speaking of this, his tone was cold, and he continued: "Why did you fall off the horse just now?" ”

Jing Jun knelt on the ground, but he showed an expression of extreme shame, and said: "The villain has never experienced a battlefield battle, and when General Lan made a move, his momentum was extremely amazing, as if he wanted to take the villain's life." The small one panicked for a while, and it was to fall off the horse. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved, turned his head to Lan Yu and smiled: "Your kid and your brother-in-law often look like spring, they are both masters who don't want to die when they get on the horse, today is a competition in martial arts, but they are desperate." Speaking of which, I ordered my entourage to reward Lan Yu, Jing Jun, Sima Chao and Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng under Zhu Di. The four of them fell to their knees and received the emperor's reward.

Zhu Quan smiled ashamedly at this time: "Erchen is incompetent, and he has already lost a mess today." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "In the future, your two brothers will be closer and proficient in the martial arts of bow and horse battle formations, which is a good thing." Tomorrow morning, the court will meet, and you two brothers will come too. After speaking, he got on the horse and led the Jinyi guard and drove back to the palace.

Lan Yu also sued Zhu Di and Zhu Quan, got on the horse and walked away.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, smiled at Zhu Quan and said, "Brother Quan, go back to the house with me, how about we have lunch with the two brothers?" ”

Zhu Quan knew that Zhu Di's invitation was not just for a meal, so he immediately agreed with a smile, led Jing Jun and Sima Chao to follow Zhu Di out of the school military field, all the way to Yanwang's mansion.

However, it was said that after Jing Kun left Zhu Quan, he walked slowly in a small car, came to the bank of the Qinhuai River, got out of the car, strolled up a hill, and came to a small pavilion.

At this time, an old monk sitting in the pavilion in a moon-white monk's robe and a pair of triangular eyes was his friend Dao Yan.

Seeing him approaching, Dao Yan stood up, smiled and said, "Brother Jing, the old man has been treating you for a long time, and you have to be free today, how about talking about a game?" Speaking of this, he pointed to the chessboard that had already been set up on the bluestone table in the pavilion.

Jing Kun looked around, but saw a person lying leisurely on the railing, with a Fan Yang hat covered on his face, seeing that the figure was Qin Zhuofeng, and there was no one around the pavilion, he sneered and flicked his sleeves, and said: "The two of us have similar chess skills, and we are tired of playing for decades, how about comparing some other doorways?" ”

Hearing him say this, Dao Yan said lightly: "I don't know what Brother Jing wants to compare?" ”

Qin Zhuofeng reached out to take the hat at this time, sat up, and said with a smile: "Why don't you come up with a way for the two of you?" As he spoke, he jumped up, pointed to the chessboard and said with a smile: "Aren't you both conceited that you have the talent of Wang Zuozhi?" Why don't you two assist King Yan separately, King Ning went to seize the throne of the prince Zhu Biao, and how about fighting with Zhu Yuanzhang? ”

When Jing Kun heard him say this, he couldn't help but stroke his palms and laugh, and said, "Mountains and rivers are stalks, and all living beings are chess pieces. Brother Qin's words are exactly what I want. ”

Dao Yan learned that Zhu Quan was pretending to be Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, a few days ago, thinking that it was just to rescue Xu Ying. After pondering for a moment, a pair of triangular eyes shot a strange light, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness King Ning has made up his mind?" Do you really want to compete with His Royal Highness King Yan? Although he knew that Zhu Quan's identity was fake, at this time, he was calling His Royal Highness King Ning, indicating that he would not expose Zhu Quan's fake identity and play a fair game with Jing Kun.
