When he thought of Zhu Quan, the king of Ning in the Ming Dynasty, Tuo Yu's mind recalled the tragic situation of his own people in the past being shot by Zhu Quan's fierce and ruthless black-armored cavalry, and faintly heard the dying cries of those bloody clansmen in his ears, and came the words that Zhu Quan said when he stood in front of him with a bloody sword: blood for blood, tooth for tooth, we are just treating others in the way of others.

"If there is no King Ning in the world, King Shunning will no longer be an insult." Tuo Yu's heart was surging with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

In the Ning Wangfu of Daning City, Zhu Quan looked at Xu Ying, who was lying on the bed not far away with beautiful eyebrows, and the corners of her forehead were slightly sweating, knowing that she was enduring the prenatal pains, and she couldn't help but sit restless under the care, pacing back and forth in the room, with pity in her chest, excitement, nervousness, and joy. It turned out that Xu Ying was pregnant in October, and she was in pain in her abdomen today, and she might be going to give birth today, but her concern made Zhu Quan lose her former composure and be at a loss.

After all, Xu Ying has been practicing martial arts with her master Qin Zhuofeng since she was a child, and her physique and will are far from being comparable to that of ordinary weak women, and when she saw Zhu Quan wandering around the room like a headless fly, she immediately forced her abdomen and laughed bitterly: "You are turning around like this, I am very dizzy when I see it." ”

Zhu Quan stretched out his hand and snatched the sweat towel that the maid had scooped up from the hot water basin and wrenched it, sat on the edge of the bed while wiping the sweat beads on Xu Ying's cheeks, and said with a smile: "It's good to faint, if you faint, it won't be so painful." ” ”“

Xu Ying heard Zhu Quan's incoherent words in a hurry, couldn't help but glance at him, raised his hand and punched him hard, and was about to speak, but he heard Ma Sanbao's voice outside the bedroom: "Your Royal Highness, Old Man Feng has something important to come to see and is waiting in the living room." ”

Zhu Quan heard that Feng Tieling had something to see, so he reluctantly comforted Xu Ying, and walked out of the room towards the front hall.

Xu Ying saw Zhu Quan's back go away, Fang suddenly felt empty in her heart, and the pain in her abdomen was even more joyful, afraid, excited, and all kinds of emotions were entangled, and she secretly prayed that God would bless her and give birth to a son. Although she is an open-minded woman on weekdays, she is facing the major life events of being a mother, and what she thinks in her heart is not exempt from vulgarity.

In the living room, Qin Zhuofeng, who was dressed in black, looked at his sibling brother Feng Tieling in armor and Fang Jinsong in a one-armed green shirt with a smile, and said with a smile: "Look at this situation, my apprentice Ying'er is going to give birth today, you two came just in time, so you don't have to let Sanbao go to summon, and I will drink in the palace tonight before leaving." ”

Fang Jinsong, the head of the "Shadowless Sword", heard that Zhu Quan was going to be his father in the next two days, and he was also happy, turned his head to look at Qin Zhuofeng's back color, and said in a deep voice: "The brother who patrolled the city just now reported that he vaguely saw Tuoyu, the master of the Oirat tribe, entering the city mixed with nomadic men, and he didn't know where to go at this time. After I learned about this, I was afraid that this Tartar with strong martial arts would have other plans lurking in the city, so I came to inform him, hoping that His Royal Highness would strengthen the vigilance in the palace to prevent accidents. "It turns out that not only are the four gates of Daning City garrisoned by the black-armored cavalry under the command of Feng Tieling, but there are also teams of soldiers patrolling the city day and night to prevent the men of those nomadic tribes from committing murder. Today, when Feng Tieling's subordinates led a hundred households to patrol, they accidentally found the figure of the Oirat master Tuoyu who was fighting fiercely with Qin Zhuofeng and Fang Jinsong in the Blue Jade Army in the past.

Qin Zhuofeng couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, and was about to speak, but he saw Zhu Quan in a python robe walking quickly, entered the back of the room and sat on the main seat, and asked in a deep voice: "Even though Tuo Yu is strong in martial arts, he is only one person, but what this king is worried about is that although Wara is now subduing my Daming, after all, it is not my race, and his heart will be different, so he is afraid that you and other barbarians will come with an army and sneak attack." He knew very well that the Desert Flying Eagle suddenly appeared in Daning, and he couldn't help but be vigilant.

Feng Tieling's eyes were the generals under Zhu Quan's command, and when he heard this, he stood up, bowed slightly, and said: "After the last general heard the news, he has already dispatched several teams of scouts in the army to explore the radius of dozens of miles outside Daning City and the beacon tower of Xiangtai Mountain, in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack. "The beacon tower on the top of Xiangtai Mountain has the role of warning of the wolf smoke of the enemy, although the mountain road is rugged and steep, and the non-army can sneak attack quietly, but it is difficult to help a master of martial arts like Tuoyu. Feng Tieling is a veteran general who has been in battle for a long time, and after hearing that his brothers have reported the enemy's traces, he has already made a decisive arrangement, so as not to be caught off guard by the enemy.

Zhu Quan heard that Feng Tieling had already made arrangements, so he bowed his head slightly and relaxed slightly.

About half an hour later, several generals such as the commander-in-chief Yang Ling, the commander of Tongzhi Jingjun, and the commander of the thrifty affairs Sima Chao had already rushed to the palace on the orders of Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, and sat solemnly on one side in turn.

Zhu Quan glanced at everyone and then ordered in a deep voice: "You will immediately return to the camp to rectify the army and horses, Jing Jun and Sima Chao will lead 30,000 foot soldiers into the city to garrison, and Yang Ling will lead 20,000 cavalry to garrison outside the city. "30,000 foot soldiers originally belonged to the Liaodong Governor Ma Yun, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that Ma Yun was not a descendant of the Lanyu Army, but in the past, he followed Lanyu to guard Liaodong for a long time, and in order to prevent accidents, he had ordered the military department to transfer Ma Yun to lead another 20,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Qingzhou, and Zhu Quan's henchman Jingjun, Sima Chao took over the 30,000 former Liaodong Army foot soldiers. Zhu Quan knew very well that the reason why Lan Yu was able to surprise attack Gyeongju and wipe out the Golden Horde army in the past was that he was taken by surprise and did not hit the enemy by surprise. At present, from the nomadic tribes who came to Daning to trade, it is known that the power of Warat has expanded today, and the number of troops is at least 80,000, which is not the same as the Oirat clan in the past, so he did not dare to take any chances, and immediately issued a military order to prevent Tuoyu and his henchmen from making trouble in the city, and to respond to the surprise attack of the Warat army.

At dusk, Zhu Quan got Feng Tieling's subordinate soldiers to report that the beacon tower of Xiangtai Mountain was safe and sound, and the scouts from all over the city did not find any trace of the enemy within a radius of dozens of miles outside Daning City. Thinking like this in his heart, he immediately pressed the idea of staying in the bedroom to accompany Xu Ying, and instructed Ma Sanbao to set up a table of wine banquets in the garden where the bedroom was located, and invited the three of them, Qin Zhuofeng, Feng Tieling, and Fang Jinsong, to wait for Xu Ying's childbirth and the upcoming strong enemy.

The night was deep, the moon was in the sky, Tuoyu jumped high and low, avoiding several teams of Ming soldiers and horses patrolling the city at night, and quietly came towards Ning Wangfu.

Daning is located in Liaodong, is the first line of prevention of the north of the town, the city at night completely curfew, no one is allowed to move around at will, the quiet long street is pitch black, only the two lanterns at the entrance of the Ning Wang's Mansion sway with the wind in the night.

Tuo Yu Yao saw that the gate of Ning Wangfu was open, and he didn't see a guard of the palace guards, his heart couldn't help but sink, and after thinking for a while, he no longer hid his figure, Shi Shiran walked towards the gate of the palace.

Zhu Quan, as the prince and the commander of all the Ming troops in Daning, must be heavily guarded in the palace on weekdays, how can the gate be opened like this, as if it were a void? Such a strange situation can only show that they have been prepared for a long time, just waiting for themselves to fall into the net. Since Tuo Yu made up his mind to assassinate Zhu Quan, he had already put life and death out of the way, and seeing that the other party was obviously on guard, he still paced without changing his face and stepped into the palace.

The palace was brightly lit everywhere, but there was no one quietly, neither the guards guarded, nor a subordinate maid, Tuoyu still walked slowly, leisurely walking along the lights, passing through several courtyards, and came to the back garden of the palace.

Seeing that a few zhang away from the courtyard in the middle of the open ground next to the table of the eight immortals, sitting Ning Wang Zhu Quan, Qin Zhuofeng, Fang Jinsong, Feng Tieling, the four of them were coldly scanning themselves, Tuo Yu was also not afraid, slowly paced to the table, silently took the wine jug and poured himself a full glass of wine, and drank it all with his head.

Zhu Quan saw that this master of the Oirat tribe with superb martial arts finally arrived, and suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart, looked at Tuo Yu's eyes with a cold and solemn face, and the cold light in his eyes, and said lightly: "This king has something to do at home tonight, and he doesn't want anyone to bleed and die in this palace tonight, so he intends to let you retreat in ...... difficulty."

"Don't want someone to bleed tonight? When you kill my Oirath, you don't blink. After Tuo Yu drank the spirits, he heard Zhu Quan's words again, and recalled the clan knights who were ruthlessly shot by Zhu Quan's black-armored cavalry in the past, and couldn't help but be angry.

Zhu Quan couldn't help but sigh slightly when he heard this, it turned out that he had been rewarded by the army, and there was no trace of the Wara army around Daning, knowing that Tuoyu was hidden and hidden, and the number must not be much, so he deliberately sent all the guards and subordinates of the palace away, and only arranged dozens of strong martial artists in the Fengtieling army in the garden to hide and hide, in case of accidents.

Feng Tieling saw a strong enemy enter the urn, and immediately whistled. The figures in the wide and quiet garden swayed, and a group of men with swords had already walked out, standing silently around, surrounding Tuyu. Although this Tartar came to the meeting alone, his bearing was compelling, after all, he was a barbarian, and he didn't need to pay attention to the rules of the martial arts of the rivers and lakes.

Qin Zhuofeng reached out and took the three-foot long sword on the table, stood up, and said loudly: "Since this person has such courage, he came alone, and watched the old brother fight him to the death. He had fought with Tuo Yu twice in the past, and he knew that the opponent's martial arts were extremely strong, if Feng Tieling's brothers besieged him, he was afraid that he would inevitably be killed and injured, and he was also a character with eyes above the top on weekdays, and when he saw the other party coming in a high-sounding manner, he immediately made up his mind to fight alone with the master of this Oirat tribe tonight.

When the godbrother under Feng Tieling heard Qin Zhuofeng's words, he slowly retreated.

Although Zhu Quan was taught martial arts swordsmanship by Qin Zhuofeng on weekdays, he had never witnessed his master meet the enemy with a sword, and today he saw him pacing forward with a long sword in his hand, knowing that today's battle must be a dragon and tiger fight, extremely dangerous, and he did not feel a trace of cold sweat in his palm.

Tuo Yu stretched out his hand and pulled out a pair of crescent-like scimitars, holding a blade in each hand, looking at Qin Zhuofeng standing far away, the bright and cold moonlight reflected on the blade of the scimitar, reflecting a shimmering cold light. I saw that when he waved his hand suddenly, the scimitar in his left hand spun rapidly and flew out, dazzling under the moonlight, like a snowy disc flying through the air, and then the knife walked with him in a vertical way, and the scimitar in his right hand slashed diagonally towards Qin Zhuofeng.

Qin Zhuofeng stood quietly with Changyuan Zhuyue in his hand, seeing that the other party actually made two moves, and flew out of his hand like a huge hidden weapon, and immediately shook the long sword with his right hand, and swung it down with the momentum of splitting Huashan, with the sound of cracking, the scabbard flew out like an arrow shot by a strong bow and crossbow, and the sword light like a match when the body met it swayed, facing the scimitar of the opponent's right hand.

With a soft "click", the scabbard was twisted into two pieces by the rapidly rotating and flying scimitar, and flew diagonally. The momentum of the scimitar's rotation ate this blow mixed with Qin Zhuofeng's internal force, and it also flew away diagonally. Almost at the same time, the blades and blades were staggered, and in the flash of sparks, the two figures staggered, and it was already a move.

Tuo Yu is nicknamed the Desert Flying Eagle, and his light skills are naturally extremely exquisite, and when his toes hit the ground, his body jumped out obliquely like a reed, and when he reached out, he actually grabbed the scimitar that was smashed open by Qin Zhuofeng with a scabbard before it landed. As soon as the scimitar was in his hand, his body turned sharply and there was a sound of ding, and he couldn't hear the sound and distinguish it, and he separated Qin Zhuofeng with his left-handed scimitar, and the shape floated like a ghost, like a sword like an arrow. The scimitar in his right hand slashed down diagonally like a cloud, heading straight to the top of Qin Zhuofeng's head and slashing it.

When Qin Zhuofeng turned his head to dodge the opponent's scimitar, there was a light sound in his ears, and he had to fight forward with his left hand before he could dodge.

There was a sound of "pop" in the ears of the spectators, but they saw that Qin Zhuofeng's left palm had already struck Tuo Yu's right palm fiercely.

When Qin Zhuofeng slapped his palm, he suddenly felt that the other party felt that the opponent's palm was like a turbulent whirlpool, firmly absorbing his left palm, and the internal force was surging, like the Yangtze River rushing and impacting, unstoppable, and he had no choice but to resist with strong internal force, and the long sword in his right hand blocked the opponent's left scimitar with two fierce slashes.

It turned out that Tuoyu had fought with Qin Zhuofeng twice in the past, and he knew the strengths and weaknesses of each other, and knew that although the other party had the experience of fighting with the master's life, it was far beyond his reach, but he was more than ten years older than himself after all, and he was not as young and strong as himself, so the right-handed scimitar was a false move, and he deliberately threw away the right-handed scimitar, forcing the other party to have no choice but to fight against his own internal force. Such a contest of internal strength, the same dangerous situation, although they are also helpless for a while, but it is undoubtedly the most beneficial to themselves in the prime of life.
