Chapter 13: The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix
In the palace of the king of Zhennan, Wu Zichong and his third sons Wu Rui, Wu Xu, Wu Gong and the queen were discussing in the lobby.
Take a look...... Look at it, I want to fly before my wings grow, how can it make sense...... I was so angry that I refused to be rewarded for such a big achievement, and went to the top of the snowy mountain, and my parents and brothers didn't want it...... Wu Zichong said.
Queen Lu Ying looked at it, and said in the letter: Father, mother and three brothers are above, Zhao'er met Zhu Guozhi and worshiped him as a teacher, intending to cultivate the thirteen swords of life, and now he has been married by His Majesty, and when the swordsmanship is achieved, he will fight with Zhu Qiqi to fight the sword world.........
After the child went to the top of the snow-capped mountain to settle down, he returned to Zhennanguo to visit his father, mother and three brothers.
If there is a great chaos today, the vitality of the Great Xia Dynasty is greatly damaged, and it is difficult to recover within 20 years, His Majesty has issued an order to revoke the three major vassal kings of Qi, Qin and Hu, and the king of the opposite sex surnamed Wangzhong, the king of Guanzhong and the king of Zhenbei colluded with Liu Jin and Liu An to make a rebellion. Soon, Chen Cheng, the commander of the Guanzhong garrison, and Zhang Kang, the commander of the Pingxi army, were secretly preparing for war, and these two kings were about to be removed. The state of Chu has been annexed by the state of Wu, and at present, the rebels of the state of Wu are huge, but they are all chaotic ministers and thieves, and the rabble is expected to be destroyed soon. At that time, the world is peaceful, and the vassal king only has three families: the king of Zhennan, the king of Zhenxi and the king of Zhendong.
Queen Lu Li said: Zhao'er has been lazy since he was a child, and he is free, so let him go, with Zhang Zhongyuan, Li Guohai and eighteen warriors by his side, you can rest assured.
Wu Rui looked at the letter and said: The fourth brother is resourceful and far-sighted, and the worries in the letter must be guarded against, so my father should take countermeasures as soon as possible.
Wu Gong continued: It is said that Liu An fled from King Xikang, changed his name to Mu'an, fell into the grass on Hengduan Mountain in Xikang, gathered thousands of people, and called himself the god of Hengduan Mountain. Qian Jiongan also fled north, with the strength of his martial arts, I thought he would dominate the rivers and lakes and be the enemy of the fourth brother's top of the snow-capped mountain. Xu Da robbed more than 6 million yuan of money and grain from the treasury and went to the people, and he didn't know where to go.
Wu Zichong said: According to the established plan, enrich the country and secure the people, and raise 100,000 standing troops in case of emergency. Gong'er martial arts are strong, you can leave Zhennan and buy a place to the north to start a sect, if his Wu family is in trouble, he can also be used as a place for the descendants of the Wu family.
Wu Zhao, Zhu Qiqi and others continued to walk north, and suddenly conveyed the beautiful sound of the piano. There is a beautiful woman who will never forget it. I don't see it for a day, and I think like crazy. The phoenix soars, seeking the phoenix from all over the world. Helpless beauty, not on the east wall. The piano will be used as a substitute for the language, and the conversation will be heartfelt. When I see Xu Xi one day, I am hesitant. I am willing to match virtue and join hands. I shall not fly away, and I shall be destroyed. The phoenix returns to his hometown and travels all over the world to seek his phoenix. When I haven't met anything, I don't know what to do! There are beautiful ladies in the boudoir, and the room is poisonous to my intestines. What is the fate of the neck for the mandarin ducks, and the beards and cheeks soar together! The phoenix and the phoenix are from me, and they have to be entrusted with the tail as a concubine.
Friendship and harmony, who knows each other in the middle and night? The wings are flying high, and I don't feel that I think about the remaining sorrow.
Zuo Wuji turned around and said: Princess, it's a phoenix, coming from the bank of the Xihua River.
Wu Zhao said: Sister Qiqi, Wuji, let's go and have a look, so Wu Zhao, Zhu Qiqi, Zuo Wuji, Zhang Zhongyuan, and Li Guohai went on horseback.
You are walking too slowly, I am late for you to leave, but I am a day earlier than you have arrived, Wang Fang said.
It turned out to be you, I didn't expect you to not only look like a fairy, but also to be so beautiful, so to speak, Miss Wang is waiting for us here, Wu Zhao said.
Wang Fang said: You said yes, my uncle said, the fourth prince is a person who can be trusted, I see that you are both civil and military, and you are still handsome, but you are not tall, but you are only fifteen years old, and you should grow longer, so I have the idea of going to the top of the snow mountain with you, you will not refuse.
I have to refuse, he is already my fiancé, although I don't like him like you, but His Majesty and my grandfather have personally designated it, and I have accepted my fate, so I don't allow you to go to the top of the snowy mountain with me, what do you think? Zhu Qiqi said.
Wu Zhao said: Sister Qiqi's martial arts are world-famous, outstanding in literature, beautiful as a fairy, although my Wu Zhao is a small martial arts at the moment, I just want to be a small landlord or a sword in my life, it seems that I still can't enter the eyes of Sister Qiqi, it is my Wu Zhao's wishful thinking.
Zuo Wuji said: As far as your martial arts are concerned, you still want to fight the sword rivers and lakes, even if the master of the door personally teaches you, you can't beat half of the Seven Seven Palaces, so it's better to be a small landlord with peace of mind.
Wu Zhao said: It seems that I have to look in the mirror and look at myself a few catties and taels, so let's do it: I will talk to my ancestor later, and I will not go to the top of the snow mountain first, Zhongyuan, Guohai, do you say to go or not?
Zhang Zhongyuan said: Where the fourth prince goes, we will go.
Zhu Qiqi said: To tell the truth, I, Zhu Qiqi, already have a favorite person, although His Majesty and my grandfather have personally designated the matter of the two of us, I will not dare to disobey, but although you get my person, you can't get my heart.
Wu Zhao said: Okay, I have been naughty since I was a child, unreasonable, but I am not a scoundrel, I will fulfill you, my 100,000 acres of fertile land on the top of the snow mountain, I will give it to the snow mountain faction.
After a while, Zhu Guozhi and others arrived, and everyone greeted each other.
Wu Zhao said: Master, the apprentice has some things to deal with, so don't go to the top of the snowy mountain first, you take care of your body. After speaking, Wu Zhao instructed Li Guohai to send two thousand-year-old ginseng sticks and said: These two thousand-year-old ginseng sticks were given by Mr. Wang Mingyang to the king of Zhaoguo Medicine.
Zhu Guozhi saw that Wu Zhao's face was not good, and he left suddenly, thinking that it was because of his granddaughter Zhu Qiqi, but it was inconvenient to say, he looked at Wu Zhao and said: The old man accepted it, and he will come to see the old man often in the future, I am waiting for you on the top of the snow mountain, and he said it like a fish in his throat.
Wu Zhao said: The disciple obeyed the order, so he left with Zhang Zhongyuan, Li Guohai and eighteen warriors and walked north.
Wang Fang chased after him and said: Wu Zhao, you take me away, I quarreled with my uncle, and there is nowhere to go. Okay, let's go, Wu Zhao said weakly.
Wu Zhao said as he walked: The falling flowers intentionally follow the flowing water, and the flowing water has no intention of falling in love with the falling flowers. I would have lit the moon with my heart, but the bright moon shone on the ditch. The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king. The past is broken, and the poet is a gentleman, and he doesn't know.
Wang Fang replied: If you want to win Wu Langgu, you should flick the strings by mistake from time to time, don't give up on yourself, with me, in addition to not knowing martial arts, I can't compare to that Zhu Qiqi.
Li Guohai comforted: Fourth prince, if you lose a small grass, you will gain the entire grassland, and it is better to get ahead as soon as possible, and compare with Zhu Qiqi's wishful and good monarch.
Brother Li is right, my uncle said that you have the posture of a dragon and a phoenix, you have to be sure, if so, I will allow you to have three wives and four concubines. After Wang Fang finished speaking, everyone laughed.
Okay, let's rest for a while in the grove in front of us, Wu Zhao said:
Wang Fang, how about you play a song, Wu Zhao said, so Wang Fang played the piano sound, Wu Zhao drew his sword and danced, Wang Fangtan sang: According to Si Song, I want to hide the gentleman's composition. Because of the green mountains and green waters, the eternal is always new, and those who know the interest of mountains and rivers during the period are only fishing and wood. The mud road is crowned, and the fame is open, and it is traced in the deep mountains and poor valleys, and the sound is buried in the huge waves. The Son of Heaven can't be a minister, and the princes can't be friends, so it's a Jinlan contract, a companion to talk, a number of chaos, a discussion of the rise and fall, a thousand years of gains and losses, all paid in the fishing wood talk and laughter. Looking back at the red dust, worrying and ridiculing, the infant scales, the weaving, and the people who are guilty of the dilemma of the court captain and the emperor are in the depths of the sky. But this song is quite clueless, and there are few questions and answers, Yu Te is right, and Fu Zhigu is the operator.
Wonderful...... Wonderful...... Wonderful, I see that the fourth prince and Miss Wang are in harmony with heaven and earth, and they are also a natural pair, Li Guohai said.
After singing the song, Zhang Zhongyuan said: I don't know what the prince plans and what he wants, why don't we go back to Zhennan.
That's what I mean, I haven't seen my mother for nearly four months since I entered Beijing with my father from Zhennan on the 10th day of February, so let's go back.
The fourth prince, can't go back, otherwise there will be a big disaster, Wang Fang said: A few days before the little woman left Beijing, Huang Chen, the director of Qintianjian, colluded with Liu Jin, Liu An, etc., and was captured by His Majesty, and was put on death row for beheading. All His Majesty combined with the recent performance of the four princes, convinced of Huang Chen's words, has secretly sent Liang Dazhong, the king of Shun County, to lead an army of 100,000 troops to garrison Nanyang City. At the same time, His Majesty set up the Jinyi Guard, and installed eyeliner in the princes and ministers, the emperor's relatives and the provinces, states, counties and vassal states, especially His Majesty thinks that the four princes are very clever and have the talent to help the Great Xia generals. If you go to Zhennan Kingdom, then Your Majesty is worried that the prince's talents can help King Zhennan set off a terrifying wave, so he will send Jinyi Wei to secretly get rid of the four princes. Therefore, if the fourth prince returns to Zhennanguo, what he said in front of His Majesty that day is the crime of bullying the king, and Zhennanguo will have a great disaster, and the fourth prince will be secretly killed. I was entrusted by my uncle to report the news, and I hope that the fourth prince will adopt it.
Li Guohai said: It's a good trick to kill people with a knife, it seems that we can't go back, so we can only wander the rivers and lakes.
Wu Zhao said: Thank you Gonggong Li and Miss Wang for giving up their lives to tell you, Wu Zhao will never forget until he dies.
Why don't we go north, where the sky is high and the clouds are light, the climate is cold, and the forces of the rivers and lakes are rarely touched, but we can live in seclusion here, Li Guohai said.
Wu Zhao said: When a husband should stand in the world, be bright and upright, and achieve a career, he will die vigorously, how can he live in the world. We went north and settled on Yunfu Mountain, three hundred miles away from the top of the snow-capped mountain, where there were few court officials and the power of the rivers and lakes was weak. The north is bitterly cold, and the reason is that the same child Wu Zhao went to set off immediately, and if he is not willing to give Qian Qianguan, you can go home.
Zhang Zhongyuan and Li Guohai swore to the sky that they were willing to follow Wu Zhao to the death and never give up, and the eighteen warriors Yang Guang, Wang Ping, Zhao Yun, Ma Zhong, Xuchang, Wei Chen, Liu Peng, Li Bin, Huang Zhong, Chen Xiong, Wang Pin, Wang Ning, Li Gan, Lu Lin, Wu Jun, Wang Hai, Chen Ping, and Ma Han swore to the sky that they were willing to swear allegiance to the four princes Wu Zhao.
Wu Zhao said loudly: It is enough for me Wu Zhao to have you with me in this life, and if I die in time, it will not be in vain in this life, let's go.
And me, the little woman is willing to follow the fourth prince for the rest of her life, and go to the soup and fire, and she will not give up, Wang Fang said.
Miss Wang, the bitter cold in the north, the girl's small family jasper, how can the body of a daughter suffer, you better go back to Beijing, don't take risks with me, Wu Zhao said.
Wang Fang said: My uncle often said that Wu Gongzi understands righteousness and is open-minded, and will make great achievements in the future.
The fourth prince, since Miss Wang has love, let's go together, with me Zhang Zhongyuan and eighteen warriors, the fourth prince and Miss Wang are worry-free, Zhang Zhongyuan said.
Okay, in fact, I'm happy to walk with the beauty, since God wants to push the big beauty of Miss Wang to my side, then I'm not welcome, but you don't call me the fourth prince, call me the lord.
Yes, my lord, I will remember.
On the top of the snowy mountain, grandpa was sullen all the way, thinking about Wu Zhao'er, right?
Yes, Wu Zhao is young and understands righteousness, but it's a pity.
Grandpa, the grandson already has a heart, you know, why you like Wu Zhao'er this time.
Alas......, I think Wu Zhao is a person who can be trusted, he will not look away, this person will do something, you can stay with him, and you will be happy for life.
Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, grandpa does not have to worry about grandchildren, you should take a thousand years of ginseng, take care of your body, prepare for the martial arts competition on August 15, and let the reputation of the Snow Mountain faction resounding here.
Well, the old man thinks so too, you go back and rest, let the old man be quiet.
Okay, Grandpa, you can rest early, too.
………………………………
Patriarch, are you so biased? I have made great contributions to Black Wind Village, why don't you keep the promise to marry my daughter to me?
Ulab, don't you know how you got your own credit, in order to inherit the position of the owner of the Black Wind Village, you colluded with An Cha Village and designed to kill my only son, you are so ruthless, I want to kill you, the owner of the Black Wind Village, Ada, said.
Ulabhu said: Hahaha, you want to kill me, don't ask them, do they agree? Everyone listened to the order, and the old village owner Ada went out hunting and unfortunately fell into the river and died. The old village owner has a saying that those who have made great contributions can marry Anan, the daughter of the old village owner. I Ulabu has made great contributions to the Black Wind Village, and should marry the daughter of the old village owner, Anan, because the old village owner of Ada has no children, the current old village owner's son-in-law Urabu inherits the position of the head of the Black Wind Village.
Congratulations to the owner of Ulabu Village...... Congratulations to the owner of Ulabu Village...... More than a dozen warriors under Urab said loudly.
Ulab, you don't have to die well, and the old man won't forgive you for being a ghost, Ada Zhai Lord said angrily.
Ulab, you don't want to die well, Anan scolded, so he burst into tears.
Ulabbu said: My little beauty, I can't die well, but I will let you live happily later, come to someone, tie up the wife of the owner of the village, Anan, and secretly send people to the village, if you don't give in, I will let the brothers take turns to destroy you. Kill the old village owner and throw him into Nanshan Lake to feed the fish.
Yes, I waited only for the orders of the lord of the Wulabu village, and more than ten guards responded.
Hahaha...... Hahaha...... a group of villains, aren't they afraid of being punished by God, so rebellious.
Who are you? Someone, kill him for me. So the two guards stepped forward and raised their knives to cut at the person, but they didn't even think that the person would look at it, and with one kick, the two guards were kicked dozens of meters away, and they lost their lives at that time.
At this moment, Urab drew his scimitar and led everyone to slash at the unknown person. The man also drew his sword, a skillful sword, and repelled the crowd with three blows and two blows, and cut off one of Urabu's hands, kicking two of them away, and killing three of them.
Ulabu said: The strong man spares his life, I am the owner of the Black Wind Village, Ulab, with thousands of warriors, 200,000 acres of fertile land in the village, and 50,000 mulberry trees. If you don't dislike it, I ask you to be a guard, how about a thousand moons?
The unknown person laughed and said: Such a traitorous villain, I am not rare about your stinky money, so I tied up Urabu.
An unknown person stepped forward and said: The old man is fine, I won't kill this villain, you can deal with it, and say goodbye.
A Nan said loudly: The strong man, please stay, please ask the name of the strong man, the little woman must be thanked.
Ada said: Send the Buddha to the west, help people to the end, since my father and daughter have a relationship with the strong man, I will bother the strong man to help me, send my father and daughter back to the village, and at the same time I will also repay the strong man.
An unknown person said: In Xia Li Guang, a person from the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, this time he wandered the rivers and lakes and passed by Heifeng Village. Who are the two of you?
This is my father Ada, the owner of the Black Wind Village, the little girl Anan, and her brother Ajiang were designed to be killed, so the little girl is now the only daughter in the family. This traitorous villain is my father's subordinate, and my father treats him well, but I didn't expect him to collude with An Chazhai to design and kill my brother Ajiang, who just wanted to kill my father, force me to submit, and seize the position of the owner of Heifeng Village, Anan said.
Ada saw that Li Guang was strong in martial arts, dignified in appearance, and extraordinary in appearance, so he opened his mouth and said: I have met a strong man now, and I hope that the strong man will stay, help me eradicate the treacherous, revitalize the Black Wind Village, and resist Ancha Village, and my father and daughter will be grateful.
Li Guang thought for a while and said: Okay, then I will stay in Heifeng Village for a few days, I still have two brothers and twenty-eight attendants who come here after a pillar of incense, the two of you will wait for a while, I will send the two back to the village to rest.
