Chapter 765, Duel Arena

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Why are you telling me this news?" ”

Nozomi Saga's eyes showed a look of fanaticism, and he said: "Our family wants to become a Ming person, so we want to make meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty and Your Majesty." Then he asked worriedly, "Does Your Majesty not believe my words?" ”

Yang Peng smiled slightly and said, "Miss Saga, I am surprised by this change of yours." But I think what you're saying should be true. Since your family has heard this information for the Ming Detectives, they can naturally become the people of the Ming Dynasty. Not only that, but if it is confirmed that this information you said is true, I will also instruct the cabinet to grant you the title of Zuo He family. Nozomi Saga was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then he pleaded: "The grass people have another reluctant request. ”

Yang Peng nodded, "Say it." ”

Nozomi Saga said: "The grass people and their families are still stranded in Kyoto, and the grass people are looking forward to moving to Daming day and night, but they can't do it with the ability of the grass people's family. The grass people prayed for His Majesty's grace to be able to send a navy to take the grass people and their family out of Kyoto. After speaking, he looked at Yang Peng with a look of hope.

Yang Peng smiled slightly and said, "If it is confirmed that the information you said is true, I will order the navy to go to Kyoto." ”

Saga Nozomi was both happy and worried, and asked, "But I wonder how long it will take for Your Majesty to be able to confirm it?" Yang Peng said: "It shouldn't be long, before the end of this year." Nozomi Saga bowed and said, "The grass people are looking forward to His Majesty's heavenly grace in Kyoto. Yang Peng nodded and said, "It's rare for you to come here, just stay in Bianliang for a few days." A few days later, I will send you to Hangzhou to sail back to the Wa Kingdom. Of course, if you don't want to go back to the Japanese country, I will order someone to arrange your food and lodging. Nozomi Saga said: "The grass people have returned to the country to wait for the good news of Your Majesty." Yang Peng nodded, and ordered a flying phoenix female guard to take Saga Xiyu to the inn to rest. Saga Nozomi bowed to Yang Peng and followed the Feifeng female guard down.

After Saga Xiyou left, Jiang Li couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, don't we all know the information that the widow said, and the widow doesn't seem to know as much as we do!" Why did His Majesty promise to reward her with such useless information? ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "Others come all the way to tell the whistle, you can't let her not get any benefits." Besides, this matter can be regarded as a benchmark for all Japanese people, that is, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty! Glancing at Jiang Li, "Although I think that force is the most effective way to solve the problem, sometimes it is necessary to cooperate by other means." In this way, the best results can be achieved. ”

Jiang Li said with a smile: "Your Majesty has put two paths in front of the Japanese people, one is the dead way to fight against destruction, and the other is the living way to surrender and prosper." Yang Peng hugged Jiang Li over, kissed her red lips, and said with a smile: "That's what it means!" Jiang Li looked at Yang Peng with affection, looking emotional. Yang Peng couldn't help but move his index finger and said with a wicked smile: "Have you thought about it again?" Jiang Li didn't speak, and buried Zhentou into Yang Peng's arms, which was self-evident.

Yang Peng picked up Jiang Li, and Jiang Li chuckled. At this moment, a female guard's loud voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang Xiang Zhang asks to see you!" ”

Yang Peng said depressedly: "This guy always comes to spoil me!" Jiang Li said anxiously with a red face: "Your Majesty, put me down, let people see how bad it is!" Yang Peng put Jiang Li down, and then slapped her on the buttocks, and Jiang Li exclaimed. Yang Peng smiled and raised his voice outside: "Let him come in!" ”

Immediately, I saw the figure at the door swaying, and Zhang Xiang, who was dressed in a black official robe, bowed in and walked in, and said, "The minister greets Your Majesty, and you meet your mother." ”

Yang Peng said angrily: "Zhang Xiang, you come here every time it's really a coincidence!" Say, what's the matter? ”

Zhang Xiang said: "Just now, the old man of the Jia Sima clan, a big merchant in the city, came to find Weichen and told Weichen something. ”

Yang Peng's heart moved, and he only listened to Zuo Mou continue: "He said that one of the generals in our Yanyun Army participated in the martial arts competition held by their Sima family and won the final victory. But this person repented of his marriage in public, and Mrs. Sima found Weichen and wanted to complain to the cabinet. The minister thought that although this matter was not big, after all, it was an incident that happened in the public, and the impact was not small, and it involved the generals in our army, so the minister specially came to report to His Majesty and asked His Majesty to show it. ”

Yang Peng said: "Don't bother, I have been involved in this matter from beginning to end." ”

Zhang Xiang was surprised, and then asked in disbelief: "Could it be that Your Majesty participated in the Sima family's competition to recruit relatives?" ”

Yang Peng shook his head and said, "That's not true." Zhang Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If it weren't for Your Majesty, then this matter would be easy to handle." ”

Yang Peng smiled: "If I fight in the ring, will this matter be difficult?" ”

Zhang Xiang peeked at Yang Peng and said, "Your Majesty once taught us that if a country wants to prosper forever, it must implement the concept of governing the country according to law. All men are equal before the law, even His Majesty. However, His Majesty founded the Ming Dynasty in a hundred battles, covered the world, and admired the world, if His Majesty is dealt with according to law, I am afraid, I am afraid that it will make the people of the world dissatisfied. ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "The more this is the case, the more it can reflect the majesty of the law, and there is nothing to scruple about!" Just let everyone in the world know that I, the emperor who created the dynasty and covered the world, is not as big as the law, and if someone breaks the law in the future, I am afraid it will not be an easy thing! Zhang Xiang sighed and said: "Your Majesty is not only extremely wise, but also this mind is comparable to the sky!" ”

Yang Peng laughed, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm also very comfortable after the sycophant shooting, let's get down to business." Jiang Li couldn't help but smile.

Zhang Xiang replied and said, "Since Your Majesty is present, you must know who the beater is?" ”

Yang Peng nodded.

"Your Majesty, please."

Yang Peng said: "I want to ask you first, if this person is a woman and doesn't know a man, and doesn't know that the ring is a martial arts competition, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Xiang was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Could it be, is it Ye Yu Niangniang, she ......" Yang Peng's side is not only a woman, but also does not know words, and is bold and reckless, there is a Ye Yu Guanyin, there will be no second person, so Zhang Xiang naturally thought of this Khitan concubine.

Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "It's her." ”

Zhang Xiang smiled bitterly: "Niangniang, she is really ,......" He wanted to say that Niangniang was really too cranky, but he felt that this was too rude, so he didn't say it. Then he thought: "If this is the case, this matter can only be said to be a misunderstanding, and there is no talk of breaking the contract at all!" ”

Yang Peng said: "Afterwards, I told Guanyin the truth, and she felt very regretful, so she went back to apologize to the people of the Sima family." ”

Zhang Xiang was furious, "Since Niangniang has already condescended to apologize to the people of the Sima family, what is there to dissatisfaction with the people of the Sima family, and they actually ran to Weichen to come to Luo!" Then he hugged his fist at Yang Peng and said: "This matter will definitely be handled properly!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and said: "The Sima family doesn't know the identity of me and Guanyin, you can handle it depending on the situation." "Yes!" Zhang Xiang promised and retreated.

When Zhang Xiang left, Jiang Li couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Your Majesty, Sister Guanyin actually went to participate in someone else's young lady's competition to recruit relatives?" Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "This thing is too interesting!" ”

Mrs. Sima returned to the mansion in despair. The third master hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Dad, what did Master Zhang say?" ”

Mrs. Sima frowned, and said in a panic: "We may have stabbed the big basket!" ......" The third master was taken aback and asked puzzledly, "What does Dad mean by this?" Master Sima glanced at the third master, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Do you know who that rabbit, no, is that boy dressed as a man?" The third master shook his head, looking very nervous. Mrs. Sima said: "She, she turned out to be one of His Majesty's four noble concubines!" The third master's face turned pale, "She, she, she ......," and then thought of another thing, and his expression became even more panicked, "That, that, the man with extraordinary aura beside her, isn't it, isn't it ......?" ”

Master Sima nodded and said, "You guessed right, it's really His Majesty the Emperor of our Ming Dynasty!" The third master only felt that the world was spinning, and he almost fainted on the spot, and said in infinite panic: "We actually went to sue them, then, wouldn't that greatly offend Your Majesty and Ye Yu Niangniang?!" Master Sima said depressedly: "Who said it wasn't! Alas, I didn't expect things to turn out like this! We have to find a way to make amends to Your Majesty and Niangniang! ”

The third old man said: "Your Majesty said that the country is governed by law, and it has always been done like this, it should, it shouldn't be because of this matter, right?" ”

Master Sima glared at him, "You're so stupid! How can such a thing be added to the royal family, what we are offending now is the royal family, and it is not an ordinary person, you are still thinking, it is really stupid! "The third master is submissive. Master Sima frowned and said, "Our Sima family is considered to have fallen into blood mold, it seems that we must amplify the blood to survive this crisis!" ”

The third master's heart jumped, "What does Dad mean?" ”

Master Sima sighed and said, "What else can it mean, it's just to break the fortune and avoid disasters." Our Sima family is good at home, and even if we take out half of the family wealth, it is much better than the average rich family! The third master exclaimed in surprise: "Dad wants to take out half of the family wealth to atone for his sins?" Master Sima nodded and said, "Now there is only this way!" Then he said depressedly: "I originally wanted to catch a golden beetle, but I didn't expect that stealing chickens would not make rice!" Alas! ”

When night fell, Saga Nozomi stood by the window of the guest house, looking at the night view of Bianliang outside the window, only to see bright lights and sparks, more dazzling than the stars in the sky; Under the reflection of the lights, the streets and alleys are full of shadows and bustling, although it is already night, it is still as lively as the day; The pavilions stretch endlessly, and you can't see the end at a glance. Nozomi Saga has never seen such a prosperous metropolis, and his eyes are full of amazement, and he only feels that this place is like heaven and earth, and the prosperity is endless. She couldn't help but think back to the scene of Kyoto, she originally thought that Kyoto was a rare prosperous city in the world, but at this moment, she felt that compared to Bianliang, Kyoto was like a beggar's nest, and there was a lowly atmosphere everywhere.

Saga Xiyu only felt that his decision was too right, if he wanted to live a good life in the future, he could only come to Bianliang to be a Ming person, and if he wanted the family to really get rid of the crisis and become an enviable family, he could only come to Bianliang.

The cronies next to her exclaimed, "It's really prosperous here!" Miss, the scene here is to tell the people in my hometown, and they probably can't believe it! Who can believe that there really is a place like a fairyland! Nozomi Saga smiled slightly and said to the maid, "Let's go for a walk in the streets." The maid's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously.

Nozomi Saga was ready to leave. But the maid said hurriedly: "Miss, wait a minute! Nozomi Saga stopped, looked at the maid puzzled, and asked, "Do you have any questions?" The maid looked at her clothes, and then pointed to the kimono of Saga Xiyu, and said, "Miss, if we dress like this, I'm afraid we will be looked down upon!" Nozomi Saga frowned and nodded, and said embarrassedly: "But we don't have Hanfu." Then he said to the maid, "Go and ask the servants here." The maid answered, and hurriedly went down.

A moment later, the maid led a maid from the inn to Nozomi Saga. The maid bowed slightly and asked, "Guest summons, I don't know what to command?" ”

Nozomi Saga took out a piece of silver and handed it to the maid. The maid was taken aback, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "We can't collect money." If the guest tells us, we will do it. ”

Nozomi Saga smiled and said, "I'm going to ask you to buy us something, we are not familiar with this place, so we have to trouble you." ”

When the maid heard about this, she reached out and took the silver ingot, and asked, "I wonder what the guest wants me to buy on my behalf?" Saga Xiyu said: "I want to ask you to buy a few sets of Han girl's costumes for our master and maid." The maid smiled and said, "This matter is easy to do, I will come when I go." Saga Nozomi bowed and said, "Thank you." So the maid took the silver ingots and departed. Nozomi Saga and his maid waited in the room.

It wasn't long before the maid returned with a large bag. Nozomi Saga and the maid hurriedly greeted him. The maid opened the large package, revealing many dresses, and said, "These on the left are made of satin, and the ones on the right are slightly worse, suitable for the maid." Then he figured out some broken silver and handed it to Saga Nozomi, saying, "There is still this silver left, please accept it." ”

Saga Nozomi pushed her hand back and said, "You helped us, I have to thank you, please accept this piece of silver." The maid couldn't help but be moved, but her face was embarrassed, and she said, "This is not good." If anyone found out, I would have been fired. Saga Xiyu hurriedly said: "This is my gratitude to you, I will never say it, please accept it." The maid withdrew her palm and smiled, "Then there will be more guests!" Nozomi Saga smiled and said, "I have a small matter that I want your help with." I've never worn these hanfus, can you help me? The maid immediately said, "No problem, I'll help the guest." Immediately, Saga Xiyu and the maid changed into the clothes of a Han girl with the help of this inn maid, and in an instant, a team of Dongying lords and maids became the daughters of the Han family.

The two maids left the inn in Hanfu and wandered the streets. Looking at the prosperous night market, the two masters and maidservants only felt dazzled, and their eyes couldn't see it, and countless novel things constantly aroused their excitement. It may be a bit inappropriate to say this, but the two of them really look like hillbillies entering the city.

Suddenly, the noisy crowd in front attracted the attention of the master and maid, and they hurriedly ran over with the flow of people. A large group of people were found crowded at the gate of a courtyard, scrambling to buy tickets to enter the courtyard. The two servants didn't know what they were doing, so Saga Nozomi asked a man next to him, "Childe, what are you doing here?" When the man saw that it was a very beautiful and delicate woman who asked him, he immediately gushed out, "This is the dueling arena!" There's a dueling match going on inside! It's two warriors wearing armor and using weapons to duel! ……”

The two of them showed a look of horror, and Nozomi Saga couldn't help but say, "There is such a competition?!" The man smiled, "Miss's accent is a little weird, it shouldn't be us Han, no wonder I don't know." What's so strange about this, dueling arenas like this are everywhere in our Yanyun country. Nozomi Saga asked urgently, "Are they all forced?" The man was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "No one is forced, all are voluntary!" Some are for money, and some are for improving their martial arts! In short, the duelists who enter the dueling arena are all voluntary! If someone persecutes, it will be illegal, and if it is found out, it will be dealt with as murder fraud, which is a big crime to lose his head, who dares to defy the law! ”

The maid goddess said to Nozomi Saga in fear: "Miss, we, let's not look at this!" ”

Saga Xiyu was also a little scared, but he felt that this was a good opportunity to fully understand Daming, so he said, "No, we want to go and see!" The man laughed and said, "Miss's courage is really not small! I've never seen a girl dare to enter the arena to watch a match! Nozomi Saga snorted, led the maidservant to the ticket office, and said loudly: "Two tickets!" ”

The middle-aged man who sold tickets saw that it was an extraordinary-looking young lady who led the maidservant girl to buy tickets, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled: "Miss, are you in the wrong place?" Immediately, someone in the crowd laughed loudly: "Little lady, this is not a place to sing big dramas, don't scare you, let's go!" The crowd burst into laughter.

Nozomi Saga blushed and said to the middle-aged man who sold the ticket: "I know this is a dueling arena, I'm here to see the game!" The middle-aged man smiled, "This is really rare!" As he spoke, he had torn off two tickets in his hand, handed them to Saga Xiyu, and said, "This is a VIP ticket, a total of five taels of silver." Saga Nozomi glanced at the maidservant, who immediately took out an ingot of five taels of silver and handed it to the middle-aged man, and took the two tickets.

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "This duel match, you can also bet, do you want to bet?" Nozomi Saga was very curious and asked, "What is the bet?" How to place a bet? The middle-aged man explained what a bet was, and Saga Xiyu was very excited, thinking that this kind of thing was really exciting, and immediately said, "I want to bet." Everyone laughed, and one of them said loudly: "Whose young lady is this, so wild!" Another person smiled and said, "Miss gambling money, I've never seen it before!" ”

The middle-aged man glared and said, "This is called boldness, do you understand?" It's like a red jade lady, a beautiful girl! One person immediately scolded: "I put your mother, damn, I actually pulled the heads of several mothers, and I am not afraid that the wind will flash your tongue!" The middle-aged man no longer paid attention to those idlers, handed a booklet to Saga Westward Tour, and said with a smile: "This is a brief introduction to the various situations of the two sides of the duel tonight, and the young lady can place bets according to her own judgment after reading it." To place a bet, it must be before the start of the tournament. If you want to place a bet, you can find the maids who can be found everywhere in the venue, and they will take you to the place where you bet. Now there is still half an hour before the start of the competition, and the young lady can wait to enter the venue for a while, or she can enter the competition first. If there is any emergency, you can summon the black-clothed guards inside. Saga took the pamphlet and led the maidservant into the gate.

After entering the gate, he saw the red-dressed maids and black-clothed guards standing on either side. Nozomi Saga asked a maid in a red dress, "Where is the VIP room?" As he spoke, he handed over his ticket. After seeing it, the maid in the red dress led the two towards the huge wooden building in front of them. It is a unique circular wooden building, similar to a modern stadium, with a competition venue in the center and spectator seats around it. The auditorium is divided into three floors, the lower two floors are the general audience area, and the top floor is the VIP area. The VIP area is divided into many compartments, which are relatively independent and private. One of the booths is the VIP area of the two main servants of Nozomi Saga.

The maid in the red dress led the two of them to the cubicle, and said with a smile: "This is the private room for the two of you, you can stay until the end of the game." Refreshments will be served later, and it's free. However, if you need other food, you will have to pay extra. ”

Nozomi Saga said, "I want to place a bet." The maid in the red dress smiled and said, "If the young lady wants to place a bet, you can order someone to bring money with me." Saga Nozomi said, "Please wait a minute, I want to see the introduction of the two of them before placing a bet." The maid in the red dress smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for Miss here, please don't miss too long." ”

Nozomi Saga opened the booklet and read it. There is not a lot of content, and according to the introduction, it seems that both sides of the duel are very powerful, and it is impossible to tell who is likely to win. Nozomi Saga couldn't help but be embarrassed. Nozomi Saga had never participated in this kind of betting activity, so naturally he didn't understand that this kind of pamphlet distributed by the organizers was a panacea at all, and had no value, and to judge which side of the duel would win, he had to obtain additional information.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
