Chapter 117: Lingyun Zhao Xu: A chess contest against an opponent

The unruly county lord Huanyu fell in love with Zhao Xu's Hetian Jade Ruyi, and saw that the imperial brother refused to part with love, so he came up with an idea in his eyes, asking Ling Yun and Zhao Xu to decide the whereabouts of this jade Ruyi through a martial arts competition.

Zhao Xu readily agreed; Ling Yun was not happy, "Hey, what are you guys calling this?" You two brothers and sisters, you just gave the matter a word, and you haven't asked me if I agree or not? ”

Huanyu had autumn waves in her eyes, and smiled charmingly at Ling Yun: "Now that the arrow is ready to be sent, of course you will agree, right?" ”

Ling Yun Qingyuan's distant eyes narrowed, and he said with a calm face: "Who said that!" You and I are newlyweds now, a joy and harmony, if you get a sword and a sword, what kind of system? Besides, no one knows that Brother Zhao is a famous general in the world, and his martial arts are invincible; Now that you are asking me to compete with Brother Zhao, isn't this deliberately making me ugly? ”

Huanyu Mei's eyes were full of radiance, and she bent her eyebrows and smiled lightly: "What? Why is he so unconfident in himself, and he was defeated before he fought? ”

Ling Yun's slightly frowning sword eyebrows were cold and indifferent, he turned his face and didn't speak.

Huanyu leaned forward intently, and her weak and boneless delicate body was softly attached to Ling Yun's body; Then she climbed with both hands, ambiguously hugged Ling Yun's neck, and whispered with a bit of coquettishness: "Junma, you promise me this time, I really like that jade Ruyi, you just make a move for me, please......"

She exhaled like an orchid, and her pretty face almost touched Ling Yun's face.

Zhao Xu laughed on the side, making Ling Yun a little red-faced, and said helplessly: "Alas! I'm so scared of you. Well, I promise you, you let go first. He really didn't want to let this indecent gesture continue and make people laugh.

Huanyu slowly let go of his hand with a smile like "the conspiracy succeeded", and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

Zhao Xu smiled heartily: "Sure enough, it's a hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass!" A hero like his sister-in-law had no choice but to lose in front of the beauty scheme! ”

Ling Yunjun blushed and said, "Let Brother Zhao laugh." ”

Zhao Xu turned his eyes and said, "Why did my sister-in-law say this?" Looking at my sister-in-law and my sister-in-law, I am loving and loving, but the foolish brother is going to die of envy and jealousy! ”

Ling Yun's face flushed when Zhao Xu said, and he said, "Brother Zhao-"

Zhao Xu took two steps forward, walked up to Ling Yun, put his face to his ear, and said with a bit of ridicule: "Sister-in-law, you may not know that my sister was arrogant and domineering before she got married, and she was rude and willful, and anyone who saw her would retreat; But now in front of your sister-in-law, you are so gentle and considerate, delicate and cute, and the foolish brother really admires your infinite charm! What kind of clever wife control does my sister-in-law have, the foolish brother has to ask for advice! ”

Ling Yun couldn't smile bitterly at what Zhao Xu said, "Brother Zhao is going to make fun of the little brother again......"

Seeing Ling Yun and Zhao Xu whispering for a long time, Huanyu couldn't help but be curious: "Alas, what are you two muttering about?" ”

Zhao Xu smiled: "It's nothing, I'm discussing how to compete." As he spoke, he ordered his attendant to take two long swords and handed one of them to Ling Yun.

Ling Yun sighed lightly, retracted his embarrassed emotions for a moment, and returned to his original calm and clear expression.

He took the long sword and arched his hand: "So you and I will point to the end, Brother Zhao is a guest from afar, Brother Zhao will invite you first." ”

Zhao Xu said: "Then the foolish brother is welcome. ”

With that, both of them flashed off their robes and walked onto the empty lawn.

When the people in the house heard that Ling Yun and Zhao Xu were going to compete in martial arts, they all rushed to watch, and no one wanted to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to feast their eyes.

But seeing the two of them tossing and turning, the sword was flying, and the fight was indistinguishable, and it was dazzling to watch.

Lingyun brocade clothes and jade clothes, fluttering clothes, sharp swords, free and easy body, like pear blossoms flying in action; Zhao Xu is dressed in white, with a vigorous posture, profound moves, elegant movements, and snow.

Everyone who watched the two-man joust was lucky enough to feel that it was really a shocking and unattainable visual treat.

Huanyu watched stupidly from the side, her gaze never left Ling Yun's side. Looking at her husband's chic and elegant posture and superb swordsmanship, her heart was so excited that she was about to get drunk. In the excitement, I couldn't help but chant a famous poem of my predecessors:

"A dance of swords moves in all directions, the viewer is depressed like a mountain, and the heaven and earth are low for a long time. It is like shooting nine sunsets, and it is as delicate as a group of emperors and dragons. Come like thunder to restrain anger, and let it be like the river and sea condensing the light. ……”

More than 50 rounds have passed in the blink of an eye. After the fight, the swordsmanship of the two had yin and yang, both rigid and soft. When making a move, one is light and the other is quick; When the fight reached the critical point, a person's long sword opened and closed, and the momentum was majestic; One person retreated, and a little cold star appeared on the tip of the sword.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu's sword turned around, and the "sunset of the long river", its momentum was like lightning, and it went straight to Lingyun's upper three roads; Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, because at this time, no one would have thought that Zhao Xu would suddenly change his sword path and make such a dangerous move, which caught people off guard.

Ling Yun was slightly stunned when he saw this, and with a style of "Snow Hugging Blue Pass", the tip of the sword took advantage of the situation, and slid up against the tip of Zhao Xu's sword, and made a shadow on Zhao Xu's chest, but Zhao Xu's hand was quick, and he hurriedly made a "cloud across Qinling", blocking Ling Yun's sharp sword edge, and the swords of the two were mixed together, stagnant, and stalemate together.

The two fought to a draw.

At this time, Ling Yun withdrew his long sword first, and arched his hand at Zhao Xu: "Brother Zhao is really superb in martial arts and has profound attainments, and the little brother is heartbroken. ”

Zhao Xu also laughed, "People say that Ling Tong's swordsmanship is exquisite and his character is first-class, and the foolish brother finally understood it today." Brother Fool can make a friend like Ling Commander today, how fortunate is it? ”

Ling Yun smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhao has won the prize." ”

As he spoke, their hands clasped tightly together; Their eyes stared at each other, and there was a feeling of sympathy for each other and hatred of each other......

The moonlight is like water, gently pouring on the gardenia branches in front of Baiyun Xuan; The evening breeze blows, the wind shifts, and everything in front of the shadow is as if in a vague and ethereal dream.

In the Jin Pavilion, Huan Yuyu held the fragrant gills in her hand, frowned slightly, and sat sullenly.

Ling Yun slowly approached her and said, "What's wrong?" Not satisfied with the result of today's joust? ”

Huanyu sighed lightly, "Actually, if there is such an ending today, everyone should be happy, but - my Hetian Yu Ruyi ......" She looked depressed.

Ling Yun pinched Huanyu's nose and said with a bit of disgust: "With an identity like you, gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, what else is missing, why bother worrying about a jade Ruyi?" What a money junkie! ”

Huanyu shouted, "Heh, what do you know? Do you know the origin of that jade Ruyi? How can it be compared to those yellow and white vulgar things? ”

Ling Yun said curiously: "Oh, I would like to hear about it." ”

Huanyu breathed a sigh of relief, and through the shimmering candlelight, she told a story about a long-sealed past.

That was thirty years ago. At that time, the first emperor Zhao had just passed the year of his establishment and ascended the throne, and the situation between the DPRK and China was not stable, and there were Khitan and Western Xia in the north. This year, Li Yuanji, the envoy of Western Xia, came to pay tribute to the court, and brought a delicate and crystal clear jade Ruyi.

This jade Ruyi is made of Hetian jade, which is rare in the world, and the best jade quality coupled with the flawless carving of skilled craftsmen can be said to be ingenious, the treasure of the world.

What's even more peculiar is that in addition to the effects of softening muscles and strengthening bones, benefiting blood and brightening the eyes, this jade can also get rid of all kinds of obscure and vicious gas. According to Li Yuanji's words: If anyone is lucky enough to wear it, he can live a long life, drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, and be healthy and healthy for a lifetime......

Ling Yun smiled: "Does this Jade Ruyi really have such an effect? ”

Huanyu sighed: "This is not important, what matters is the following remarks of the Western Xia envoy. He said that their Western Xia soldiers were strong and strong, and their masters were like clouds, and everyone wanted to get rare treasures in this world.

Now he has brought the three great warriors of Western Xia, and if anyone in the Great Song Dynasty can defeat these three warriors, Yu Ruyi can only offer them, otherwise, they will have to bring the treasure back the way it came. Because they can't put the treasure in a place where they don't think they have any sense of security. ”

Ling Yun raised his eyebrows, "How can this be reasonable, isn't this provoking me to have no one in the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Huanyu's smart apricot eyes flashed, glanced at Ling Yun, and said with a bit of teasing: "Yes, how good it would be if you were born thirty years earlier!" When the time comes, you will definitely stand up and defeat those arrogant and domineering Western Xia warriors, and fight for my Great Song Dynasty to get this breath back, rightβ€”but where were you at that time? ……”

Ling Yun heard that Huanyu's words were wrong, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said with a momentum: "Okay, are you making fun of me?" Huanyu dodged with a smile, and the two of them giggled and made a mess.

It took a moment for the two of them to calm down; Ling Yun asked again.

Huanyu said: "The next thing is very simple, there is really one person in the court who stepped forward and won three battles in a row, beating those Western Xia warriors who showed off their martial arts to the ground, and they were defeated - guess who this person is?" ”

"Who?"

Huanyu raised her face and said proudly: "My imperial brother Zhao Xu's father, my uncle Zhao Rui, the prince of Guangling!" ”

Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "At that time, the prince of Guangling was young and vigorous, and his martial arts were strong, so it was expected that he would defeat these people. ”

Huanyu said: "Even now, my uncle is also old and strong, and his majesty has not diminished!" ”

Ling Yun nodded approvingly, and asked again, "What happened later?" ”

Huanyu said: "Later, the emperor gave this Hetian jade Ruyi to his uncle as a reward; Now my uncle has handed over the jade Ruyi to my imperial brother Zhao Xu for safekeeping. ”

Ling Yun nodded and said, "I understand." It's no wonder that Brother Zhao is reluctant to give you the jade Ruyi - how can the things given by the emperor be sent casually? ”

Huanyu pouted and said: "So what, since the emperor gave things to his uncle, and his uncle gave them to his brother, it is the emperor's brother's thing, and he can make the decision if he leaves it, why can't he give it to others?" ”

Ling Yun glanced at her helplessly, and sighed lightly: "You, you are really willful!" ”

Huanyu's bright eyes turned, and he said thoughtfully: "I think your martial arts should be better than my imperial brother, why didn't you defeat him?" If I defeat him, that jade ruyi will be mine-from the truth, didn't you do your best at that time? ”

A smile of unknown meaning flashed in Ling Yun's star-like eyes, and he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but didn't say anything.
