48, a complete rupture
The queen mother of the Cuizhu Kingdom used means to cause the scholar king and the beast king to turn against each other, and completely broke up, the beast king found out that the scholar king wanted to get involved with the queen mother, take away his love, and was extremely angry, after the scholar king touched the queen mother's bed, he was caught by the beast king, the beast king took his big knife, rushed out of the queen mother's bed, and wanted to fight with the scholar king, the beast king's shouting woke up the soldiers who were sleeping in the barracks, The Beast King quickly caught up with the Scholar King, who was hiding in despair, and when the Beast King raised his broadsword and was about to slash at the Scholar King, Ye Changfei, who had been awakened and realized that the situation was not good, hurriedly rushed up and blocked the blade that the Beast King was about to cut down with his sword. The scholar king, who had dodged the blow, hurriedly got out of the crack, rushed into the camp of the master Hongyang Lao Dao practice, and asked the master for help, Hongyang Lao Dao didn't know the reason at all, only knew that his beloved disciple was being attacked by the Beast King, and Hongyang Lao Dao knew the fierceness and violence of the Beast King. I felt that only by using the strange rhythm played by my guqin could I subdue him. Hongyang Lao Dao immediately took his guqin and walked out, and found that Ye Changfei and the Beast King were fighting fiercely in the night, seeing that Ye Changfei was gradually at a disadvantage, the Beast King was fierce, and wanted to kill people, Hongyang Lao Dao immediately spread out his guqin and began to play, the sound of the piano was slow to urgent, the song was exciting, and slowly the Beast King calmed down, and finally dropped the weapon in his hand, and like last time, he fell asleep on the side.
In order to avoid a head-on conflict with the King of Beasts, King Scholar decided to stay with Ye Changfei and Master Hongyang Lao Dao to stick to the river valley that night, and he led a group of followers to the capital overnight, planning to return to China first to hide for a while.
The king of the beast was disturbed by the sound of the old harp, after waking up from a sound sleep, the sky was already bright, the king of the beast was still the queen mother, he hurriedly rushed into the queen mother's room, the queen mother found that the king of the beast was coming, and immediately began to cry sadly, he confided in the king of the beast, he was so insulted by the king of the scholars, only to die to prove his innocence, saying that he had no face to live in the world. The simple-minded beast king immediately became extremely irritable again, and promised his sweetheart that he would take off the head of the scholar king and present it to the queen mother, in order to avenge the scholar king's disrespect for the queen mother.
After the Beast King found out that the Scholar King had left the river valley first, he felt that he was being used by the Scholar King for such a long time to fight in this river valley, and immediately decided to take the soldiers of his kingdom to protect the Queen Mother and return to his kingdom. In order to show his heroism, the King of the Beasts promised the Queen Mother that he would not have another grand wedding with the Queen Mother after obtaining the title of Scholar King.
The angry beast king rushed across the river valley, climbed over Yunmeng Mountain, and entered the border of Niu Ling, without any hindrance, almost rampage, and led his troops to the gate of the capital of Niu Ling, shouting that the scholar king should hurry out of the city gate and come to die. The scholar king has returned to the palace, feeling that he has been disgraced, after the beast king's hype outside the city gate, the whole kingdom has known that the scholar king is fighting with the beast king for a woman and turned against him, and the very unseemly news he created has almost become the talk of the people of the kingdom after dinner. The sister of the Beast King is the queen of Niu Lingguo, he knows that his brother is rude, in order to take care of the overall situation of the alliance between the two countries, the sister of the Beast King decided to go out of the city alone to persuade the Beast King. When the beast king waited for his sister to arrive, he immediately sent troops to send him back to his kingdom, and the beast king wanted his sister to cut off all relations with the scholar king from now on. Although this Queen Niu Ling was a little reluctant, she had no choice but to stay in the palace of the Linshi Kingdom and wait for the situation to change.
The scholar king felt that the current situation was very bad, the king of the beasts led his troops to guard the gate of his capital, and vowed not to give up until he reached his goal, he knew that if this matter could not be properly handled as soon as possible, the Miao Wen Prime Minister of the Cuizhu Kingdom would seize the opportunity to counterattack, and when the time came, he would be attacked before and after, even if he had the help of the master, it would be difficult to deal with it. According to the current situation, if you fight hard with the Beast King, you will end up with more gains than you lose, and the way to resolve this crisis is to create a crisis for the Beast King in other places, so that he has to withdraw from it, otherwise the situation will get worse.
At this time, the scholar king decided to send someone to the river valley to invite Ye Changfei back, and then asked Ye Changfei not to return to the capital directly, but to make trouble in the capital of the Linshi Kingdom in the name of taking back the queen, so that the beast king would definitely return immediately for the safety of his kingdom. The scholar king thinks that the only suitable candidate is his royal sister Princess Yuping. He asked Princess Yuping to go out of the city, under the pretext that she was going to visit the queen in Linshi Kingdom, and she could only get out of the encirclement of the beast king.
After Princess Yuping received the order, it didn't take much trouble to get the consent of the Beast King and went out of the city gate, because the Beast King and Princess Yuping have always had a friendly relationship, and Princess Yuping is a female person, and she is going to visit the sister of the Beast King, and the Beast King will not suspect that she will do something unfavorable. The King of Violent Beasts also felt that when Princess Yuping arrived in his kingdom, he had another chess piece in his hand to blackmail the scholar king.
Princess Yuping was not a weak woman, after he walked out of the capital, he immediately rode straight to the river valley, and after seeing Ye Chang Fei, he ordered Hongyang Lao Dao to take care of the safety of the river valley first, and then with Ye Chang Fei with a team stationed in the river valley, went straight to the capital of Linshi Kingdom.
The soldiers were very fast, Ye Changfei and Princess Yuping soon arrived at the capital of Linshi Kingdom, and Ye Changfei organized soldiers to surround the capital of Linshi Country according to the intention of King Shusheng. The defense of the capital of the Linshi Kingdom was empty, because the main forces were taken away by the Beast King, and the ministers of the kingdom immediately sent people to rush out of the defense circle to release a message to the Beast King. Ye Changfei did not stop the people who wanted to go out to report the news, because their intention was to let the Beast King know about the crisis, and then give up the attack on Niu Ling Kingdom and return to their own country.
After the king of the beast got the news that the king of the scholar sent people to besiege his capital, he was so angry that he felt that the king of the scholar was indeed hateful, in order not to let his kingdom be destroyed by the king of the scholar, the king of the beast led the generals, abandoned the siege of Niu Lingguo, and rushed to his country non-stop.
In order to avoid a head-on conflict with the Beast King, Ye Changfei immediately retreated the encircled army, made a detour to avoid the Beast King, and then stationed his troops at the junction of the two countries to prevent the Beast King from coming to Niu Ling Kingdom again to cause trouble for the Scholar King.
When he was about to reverse and attack Niu Lingguo again, he found that Ye Changfei had occupied a favorable position at the junction of the two countries, forming a barrier to him. The Beast King had to return to the kingdom's capital, ready to wait for another battle.
After the beast king returned to the palace, he still showed great respect for the queen mother of the Cuizhu Kingdom, who was very infatuated with him, because he promised the queen mother of the Cuizhu country to take off the head of the scholar king before marrying the queen mother, the queen mother was in the palace of the beast king, in order to achieve the purpose of protecting herself, she deliberately pretended to be sick, the queen mother said to the beast king that she was frightened that night when the scholar king rashly entered to attack her, the queen mother in order to cause the beast king to have greater hatred for the scholar king, crying and crying in the palace all day long, saying that if the scholar king was not punished, his condition would not improve. The King of the Beasts was extremely anxious, comforting the Queen Mother every day and letting his sister accompany her all day. The sister of the beast king was a simple woman, and the queen mother added salt and vinegar to her to amplify the ugly behavior of the scholar king, and the woman gradually felt that she also hated the scholar king very much.
The scholar king knew that staying in the palace was not a long-term strategy, and now although he defeated the Cuizhu Kingdom in the river valley and captured the river valley of his dreams, he inadvertently caused a break with the beast king who was allied with him, and he felt that the only way now was to return to the river valley again as soon as possible, and work with his master to arrange the later defense of the river valley that had just arrived, and then make a break between himself and the beast king. The scholar king decided to keep Ye Changfei at the border between the two countries, in case the beast king suddenly rushed into the river valley and ruined his strategic plans. Then he himself led his troops back to the river valley.
What made King Shusheng wonder was that Prime Minister Miao Wen of Cuizhu Kingdom had not moved since he was defeated and returned to the capital, and he felt that this was unreasonable no matter what he said, and according to Prime Minister Miao's consistent principles, he could not admit defeat, maybe he was planning a bigger counterattack. In order to accurately grasp the dynamics of Cuizhu Kingdom, he secretly assigned Du Yang, who was familiar with the road, to Yecheng to investigate the situation. After completing the last task, Du Yang was rewarded by the scholar king, so that he married the charming young woman Yujuan of the shop, and finally became a family with his intended person, Du Yang was very grateful to the scholar king, and came to Yecheng after receiving the order, and it didn't take much effort Du Yang found out the accurate news of Cuizhu Kingdom. It turned out that after Prime Minister Miao Wen was defeated and his lover in the valley was taken away again, he was seriously ill in bed and could not serve as a director.
Due to Miao Wen's serious illness on the side of Cuizhu Kingdom, there was no threat, and the scholar king decided to let the Ye Chang Fei, who was defending the beast king, evacuate, and he wanted to introduce the beast king into the river valley, and then pack him up and obey him.
