Chapter Seventy-Nine: Contesting Divorce
326
In the blink of an eye, it has been two days since Hokyo was breached.
In the past two days, only the people of the capital have suffered.
In the name of purging the remnants of the traitorous ministers, the Najon soldiers searched from house to house, but they robbed property, raped women, and did all kinds of evil.
The old lord even moved into the palace, as if he was going to live for a long time, and he had no intention of retreating.
Shen Hou regretted it, but he was helpless.
I had to put away the body of King Youwang first, and then mourn after the matter was settled.
Fortunately, Lord Narong was praised and did not embarrass Long Zixi and others.
Shen Hou temporarily stationed his soldiers in Lishan, and everyone was roosting in the palace.
Long Zixi saw that the queen was grieving for the death of King You, and he persuaded him for a long time.
The "Five Elements" found the corpse of Tuyutian, and they couldn't help crying, and they didn't need to be buried.
But he said that Shen Hou was very worried when he saw that Narong's soldiers did not retreat.
There was no accounting office, but the old lord sent someone to send a letter, asking Shen Hou to enter the city, saying that he wanted to discuss the withdrawal of the army.
Shen Hou was first happy, and then worried.
Xin said: "The soldiers of Narong have emptied the treasury, and robbed countless beauties of property among the people, and if they retreat, they will retreat, what are they discussing?" I'm afraid that there will be some trickery again. ”
Hesitant and unsure how to respond.
Folding Tiger Road:
"According to the lower officials, the wolf of the Narong people is ambitious, treacherous and cunning, and there will be no good meeting, so it is better for the lord not to go."
After discussing for a long time, everyone felt that it was more auspicious to go, and advised Shen to wait.
Shen Hou said:
"The widow has an appointment with him. If you don't go, but the widow has a different heart, won't the Rong people take the opportunity to make trouble? ”
Long Zixi thought for a while and said:
"I don't know anything about the country. But I only know that the eldest husband stands up to the sky, where are I afraid of him? Why don't you go to the meeting and see what he means? Just take extra precautions! ”
Shen Hou nodded:
"What the Zixi brothers said is exactly what the widow meant. It's just that the widow thinks that the Rong army is large, and the widow will bring more men and horses, and he is afraid that it will not be their opponent. How is it good to be born like this? ”
Fang Sange said:
"Why don't we go with us, and bring some warriors with us. If there is really a change, you will fight to the death with them! ”
Sacrifice Qiong shook her head:
"As Hou Ye said, if the Rong people have the intention to cause harm, it is not enough to bring as many people as they want. Only a surprise win may be safe. ”
Longzi West Road:
That's exactly what it means. It's better to go with the next person to accompany the master, and then see the opportunity to act. ”
Everyone thought it was too risky at first.
But after thinking about it, only with Long Zixi's peerless martial arts can he win by surprise, so he agreed.
Shen Hou saw that Long Zixi was full of confidence, and he was also ambitious:
"Okay, let's just meet him for a while!
"It's just that I also asked General Zhehu to bring five hundred soldiers to meet outside the city.
"The other generals strictly guard Lishan to prevent changes!"
327
After the arrangement was made, Long Zixi tightened his clothes, put a long sword on his back, and accompanied Shen Hou into Hojing City.
There were already military officials at the city gate to pick him up, and Long Zixi recognized it, but it was Nagruba.
After greeting Shen Hou, Gruba led the two straight to the palace.
Along the way, seeing that the city was still scarred by fire, and there was blood everywhere, Na Shen couldn't help but shake his head and sigh in love.
When I arrived at the gate of the palace, the old lord had already greeted him.
Seeing that there were only two people, Shen Hou and Long Zixi, the old Rong Lord was obviously surprised, but then laughed loudly, took Shen Hou's hand and entered the main hall together.
As soon as the officials were already seated, they got up to salute, and Shen Hou and Long Zixi finished their salutes and sat down on the left.
Long Zixi looked at the curtains in the corridors around him, and only sneered in his heart.
The old lord laughed again:
"Hahaha, Master Hou, the old man will help you get rid of the traitors and destroy the faint king, are you satisfied?"
Shen Hou Zheng Se Dao:
"The old lord worked tirelessly, came to the appointment, and helped the widow to achieve today's work, this grace is unforgettable.
"It's just that if you are a minister and cause the king to die, how can you be complacent?"
The old lord smiled:
"It's not that the old man looks down on you and other Han people.
"It's hypocrisy that is the worst.
"In short, it is a rebellion against the king of You, it is a crime not to kill him, and it is a crime to kill him, so why be ashamed?
"Besides, don't you Han people have a saying, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and don't do anything, but it's good that King Youwang is dead.
"Otherwise, I'm afraid that the new monarch will not be able to sit firmly in his position, yes or no?
"Haha!"
Shen Hou sighed and said:
"In any case, the old lord emptied the treasury and obtained countless treasures from the people, and he did all the things that the widow promised.
But he didn't dare to worry about the future affairs of Lao Rong.
"Today, when we discuss the withdrawal of the army, we are doing exactly what we have agreed.
"I just don't know when the old lord is going to withdraw from the army?"
The old lord laughed:
"No hurry, no hurry! Shen Hou is here, how can he not drink a few glasses?
"Don't say it, the wine of the Han people is more fragrant than ours, so the old man will borrow flowers to offer Buddha!"
When he had finished speaking, he ordered the wine to be watched, and someone waited for him to bring it up.
Long Zixi didn't dare to drink more, only took a sip, and put down the wine glass.
The old Rong Lord looked at Long Zixi and suddenly said:
"This is the strong man of that day?"
Long Zixi hugged his fist:
"It's down there!"
Lao Rong looked at Long Zixi, nodded and said:
"I heard that you are the first warrior of the Zhou Dynasty, and you killed five wolf mastiffs by one person, but is there such a thing?"
Long Zixi thought that he didn't have to be modest today, it was better to show his majesty and make them jealous. Smile at the moment:
"The first warrior does not dare to call himself down.
"Killing the five dogs is a real thing.
"Another thing, I have also fought with Prince Po Ding and his master the immortals of the Western Regions, I don't know what Prince Po Ding thinks?"
Na Ding had already been convinced by Long Zixi's heart, and said at the moment:
"Not bad. Neither Master nor I are opponents of the Dragon Hero.
"Father, according to Erchen, in the world, there is no one who can win the dragon hero alone!"
Before he could say a word, he heard a person next to him shout:
"The prince only increases the prestige of others like this and destroys his own ambition!"
When everyone looked at it, it was full and fast.
It turned out that Naman Yesu was not only strong in martial arts, but also powerful, and even Prince Ding was inferior to him, and he rarely met opponents since his debut.
More than ten years ago, he had a fight with Long Zixi, he was hit by Long Zixi, but because Long Zixi was ill at the time, his hands were weak, and he did not hurt him at all.
Although he also knew that Long Zixi was sick at that time, he always thought:
Even if you are sick, how can you have no strength at all?
I'm afraid that Long Zixi is famous, and he may not have that real talent.
Therefore, when I heard what Long Zixi and Xiao Ding said today, I was not convinced.
The old Rong lord smiled at Long Zixi:
"Do you dare to compete with him?"
Longzi West Road:
"This general wants to compete in martial arts, and he is not allowed to do so. But ......"
Naman also got up from his seat:
"What is it more than a penbi?"
Long Zixi smiled:
"I heard that your state has some colorful heads, why don't we also have some excitement and make a trick?"
The old lord laughed:
"Not bad! Let's do the lottery. I just don't know what Long Zhuangshi likes to gamble on? ”
Longzi West Road:
"Beauty and money are not rare. Why don't you gamble on the retirement of the army? ”
The old man's face changed when he heard this, and he snorted:
"How can the affairs of the state be child's play?"
Long Zixi sneered:
"That's not going to compare. I'm afraid that if I lose, I can only retreat, right? If the old Rong lord has no intention of withdrawing from the army, then it's just that! ”
The old lord was obviously a little angry, but suddenly laughed again:
"Shen Hou, you are a strong man, you are really powerful, and you never forget to retreat. In that case, the old man might as well tell you the truth. Cheers to it! ”
Everyone had another drink, and Shen Hou had to accompany him.
The old lord put the cup down and said:
"The old man was also ready to retire. It's just that after my boy saw the queen's face again, he remembered the events of the past, and couldn't help but think again. The old man invited Shen Hou to come today to discuss this matter. ”
When Shen Bo and Long Zixi heard this, they guessed eight or nine.
328
Sure enough, the old lord continued:
"Now that the king of you is dead, and the queen is at the age of being like a wolf and a tiger, why not marry the prince of my family, and the two families will be married forever? What's more, there was also a martial arts competition to recruit relatives back then. If this matter is successful, the old man will immediately retire from the army, not to mention, and there will be a heavy courtesy! ”
It turns out that the customs of the Najon people are the most casual in the section of chastity ethics, and it is common for children to marry their father's wife and their younger brothers and concubines.
I don't care if it's my first marriage.
Therefore, although the crown prince also has a number of concubines, they don't like it very much, and they still think about the princess of the year for so many years.
When I saw that day, although the queen was not young and had given birth to a child, she was still pretty, and there was a mature and attractive beauty, so she had lovesickness again.
On that day in Lishan, because King Youwang had not died at that time, it was inconvenient to mention this matter.
Later, when he saw that the king was dead, he remembered this matter again.
repeatedly persuaded his father to promise that as long as he got the queen, he would retire.
Shen Hou pondered for a moment and replied:
"Judging from the current situation, the next step is to ascend the throne, and the queen is the queen of the king. How can a son of heaven marry a queen mother? If the prince does not give up, wouldn't it be better for the widow to look for young beauties for you? ”
Ryuko Nishiya said:
"On that day in Lishan, the king had already agreed, and only took praise. Now that he regrets it, doesn't it make the world laugh? ”
The old Rong Lord sighed:
"That Bao Xi is indeed a unique beauty! It's a pity that I only served the old man for one night......"
Long Zixi was surprised:
"She, what's wrong with her?"
The old lord just shook his head.
Full speed interface:
"Hmph, this slut is so glorious and rich but refuses to enjoy it, and hangs himself the next day!"
Long Zixi heard that Bao Xi committed suicide, and his heart ached.
But he didn't know whether it was true or not, and his face was puzzled.
Seeing this, Prince Xiaoding walked up to Long Zixi, took out a small package from his arms and handed it to Long Zixi:
"It's true, it's true that she committed suicide. There's also a letter she sent to you, and now you've taken it. ”
Long Zixi took the small bag, and wanted to open it immediately, but he also thought that he would accompany Shen Hou to come for the affairs of the country today, and he could not abolish the public for personal reasons.
put away the small package at the moment, endured the grief and said:
"Well, death is death. Does Prince Ding have to marry a princess? ”
Badin Road:
"I was infatuated with the queen, and there was no intention of playing. If you can get the queen to marry, you will treat her sincerely and never lose it! ”
Long Zixi had an idea:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you and I had a competition as princesses back then, why don't you come to the competition now? If you win, you will marry the queen to the crown prince, and if you lose, the matter will be stopped. How is it? ”
Then he turned around and asked Shen Hou:
"Master Hou, I have this discussion without asking for instructions, I don't know if it's okay?"
Applicants are not allowed to apply:
"This is the right thing to do!"
Long Zixi said again:
"It's not boasting, the prince is not playing the opponent. You can send a full general, or any person, if you feel unsure, you can go on three or five together! ”
Speaking of which, the Rong people present are all displeased.
This is clearly because Long Zixi has flattened the Rong warriors.
Man Yesu shouted loudly:
"It's so deceitful! It's me and you one-on-one! ”
Prince Ding hurriedly persuaded him and walked over to discuss with the old lord.
After a long while, Prince Bading said to Shen Hou and Long Zixi:
"I followed Long Daxia's proposal. It's just one thing, only gambling on marrying or not marrying the queen, but the matter of retiring from the army should be discussed separately. How is it? ”
Shen Hou and Long Zixi exchanged glances, and they knew that they both had the same thoughts.
In today's situation, only winning is the same.
So Shen Hou nodded.
How do you say that the old lord and the young man decided such a major matter by gambling?
But the Rong people are aggressive by nature and refuse to admit defeat, even between themselves, they also gamble at every turn, and even use their wives and concubines as their heads.
In addition, Du Zhiman is also fast and powerful, and he may not lose to Long Zixi.
At the moment, the two decided to only compare fists and feet, except that they are not allowed to use hidden weapons, there are no other restrictions, and one party shall admit defeat.
Everyone drank a few more glasses, and they all went to the flat outside the palace to watch him compete.
329
The two didn't talk much, and after a few tests of each other, they fought together.
As soon as they fought, Long Zixi knew that this full speed was not only powerful, but also extremely martial arts.
Long Zixi thought while fighting, only by consuming his physical strength first, discovering his weaknesses, and then winning against him.
So, he didn't fight him hard, but just exerted his light skills, left and right, front and back, and fought everywhere.
It must be known that the light skill of full and fast is much worse than that of Long Zixi.
Long Zixi's light work is the best in the world, how can it be in vain?
In the blink of an eye, the two fought for forty or fifty times.
The Rong people saw that Man was quick to attack and defend less, and they were all overjoyed, and several guards even shouted for Manye.
Full and fast, but the heart is anxious.
After fighting for a long time, he never really hit Long Zixi, but Long Zixi didn't make him feel too hard, so he thought that Long Zixi was just a light skill, and there was no hard work, so he stepped up his attack, and he couldn't wait to knock Long Zixi to the ground with one punch.
Long Zixi and he wrestled for a few more rounds, and finally found that Man Yesu was the general in the end, and his kung fu was unstable, and he was quite orderly at the beginning, and he was a little chaotic when he was fighting.
Without hesitation, he turned around and turned behind him.
Before he could fully turn around, his body suddenly lay flat, his legs were inserted between his legs, and he slammed his legs to the sides.
Long Zixi turned over and stood up, and slammed his ears with both fists from behind.
Full of surprise, both fists on the shelf.
Who knew that Long Zixi's fists sank, and he arrived under his armpits early, and he quickly parried before he was full, and his fists turned into fingers and pointed on the acupoints under his armpits.
That acupuncture point communicates with the breath, and once it is lit, the breath is immediately unsmooth.
Full also froze quickly, unable to move.
Long Zixi smiled slightly, said yes, and then stretched out his palms and brushed under his armpits, unlocking the acupoints for him.
The prince is a master, and he can see it very clearly, and it is clear that he has already lost when he is full.
Who knew that just when Long Zixi unlocked the acupoint for Man Yesu, Man Yesu suddenly turned around and hit Long Zixi with an elbow.
Long Zixi was furious, and turned his body to the front of him.
At this time, if you use the double wind to fill your ears again, you will be seriously injured if you don't die quickly, but how can Long Zixi do this?
The bluff threatened to hit him in both ears, and when he raised his arms to parry, his hands slid down, and then to his armpits, and he was caught again.
Full and fast raised his fists again, and he couldn't move.
Long Zixi didn't rush to solve his acupoints this time, but drank softly:
"General Man Yesu, are you ready?"
Naman also shouted angrily:
"What kind of magic are you? Lao Tzu is not convinced! ”
But Prince Badin came up, grabbed Long Zixi's hand, and said quickly to Manye:
"The general should not be stiff, if you lose, you will lose, it is just that the prince and the queen have no chance."
The old Rong lord laughed, and even praised Long Zixi as really powerful, and said:
"In this case, the queen's business is stopped."
But it was quite displeasing between his eyebrows.
Seeing this, Shen Hou hurriedly said:
"Alright. The prince has no need to worry. The widow said that he would never break his promise to choose the best beauty for the prince! ”
Long Zixi went over and quickly solved the acupoint for Manye.
Man was also full of shame and finally convinced.
The old lord asked everyone to go back and eat and sprinkle again.
Shen Hou clenched his fists and said:
"It's too late today, the widow will leave, and the widow will arrange it another day, and then discuss the matter of retreating!"
The old lord showed a fierce light on his face and was silent.
Seeing this, Long Zixi's heart was horizontal and said:
"I won General Man Yesu just now, I'm afraid there are still those who are not completely convinced, so it's better to show another hand in Xia to help Lao Rong's lord."
After finishing speaking, everyone saw Long Zixi suddenly turn around and float back to the house with both feet.
Another leap, with his feet like flying, he pointed all the way to the curtain under the corridor around him.
At last he pulled the curtain vigorously, and the curtain had already fallen, revealing thirty or fifty warriors behind the curtain, holding steel knives, standing still, motionless, looking at everyone in horror.
But in the blink of an eye, they were all pointed out by Long Zixi.
In fact, Long Zixi had already discovered that there was a knife and axe hand hidden behind him, so he wanted to do it endlessly, so it was better to show his magic skills again, so that the Rong people would be completely convinced.
Needless to say, Long Zixi's martial arts are strong, but it is also because those warriors have a curtain to cover them and are not prepared, so no one was spared.
Rao is so, and this time it also surprised the Rong people.
The old Rong lord laughed loudly.
He originally wanted Shen Hou and Long Zixi to go back to the house to eat and drink, and arrested the two of them on the pretext of breaking glasses.
But after this, seeing that Long Zixi was indeed strong in martial arts, it was really difficult to deal with, but he was afraid that once he started to make a move, it would be unfavorable to him, so he waved his hand:
"Long Daxia is indeed a miracle. Well, then it's not far away! ”
Shen Hou and Long Zi went out of Haojing in the west, and they had already broken the tiger to lead the troops and rushed back to Lishan overnight.
