Chapter 245: Forcing the Palace
In September, there was a sudden cold winter, and the sheep wind blew in the dry land. The sky condenses, and the earth whispers. The three streets and six markets are closed, and there are no lights when the sun sets. The fire goes out, and the stove is dizzy. Suddenly, a pillar of blue light rose, and the broken clouds were covered with fish scales. The smoke of gunpowder is gone, and who wins or loses. This miscellaneous sentence that has been widely circulated in the community is exactly what the people described that day's finals. Since the forbidden army blocked all the intersections around the Central Martial Arts Dojo, although these ordinary people could feel the oppression of that strong aura from the outside, they could not know the specific situation inside.
It is said that when the wind disappeared and the dust and smoke ended, the internal ruins of the martial arts dojo were completely broken, and it looked empty and solemn. And the most extensive and huge central platform was cleanly cut into a concave round pit in front of the audience!
Everyone was so shocked that they forgot to talk, and searched for the figures of the two teenagers at the bottom of the round pit. I saw that Ma Yun was lying on the ground and was already unconscious, while Yang Rui was reluctantly sitting beside him, panting heavily, looking exhausted.
The fake Tudan fell from mid-air, stretched out his hand and touched Ma Yun's hand, seeing that his pulse was still there, he asked Yang Rui in a low voice: "Kill?" Yang Rui had not yet eased his breath at this time, and said in his heart: "This Ma Yun's martial arts are weird, and it is very likely that he belongs to that organization like the Phantom Ice King." It's just that Mu Shanshan and Gong Qing'er both treat him as a younger brother, so don't take advantage of others. He glanced at Ma Yun and shook his head slightly. Fake Tudan coughed knowingly, didn't say anything more, walked to the young man's side, raised his right hand high, and shouted loudly to the audience: "Ma Yun fainted and lost, and the champion of the finals is Yang Rui of the Yang family!"
When the audience heard thisββ! the audience suddenly burst into cheers! This duel shocked the earth and wept ghosts and gods. It really made the audience who were good at martial arts too addicted. And that dangerous final blow was so majestic that many people still feel shocked when they think about it many years later.
"That's good!It's really a good boy in my Wuyue Kingdom!" "Hey! Sure enough, a hero is a teenager!" "I entered the Three Immortal Realms at the age of fifteen, and my Wuyue Kingdom finally has a young genius!" ...... In the martial arts hall, accompanied by cheers, there were countless voices of admiration. And the fake Tudan took the opportunity to whisper to the young man again: "Later, little brother, you have to cooperate again, there are two big snakes that have not yet come out of the hole." β
The boy nodded, letting the fake Tudan clamp himself. To be honest, that move of the Xuanwu Sutra was a god-level combat skill, and it was still a little reluctant in terms of his current cultivation. It was used in the outside world very differently from when he practiced in Qimen Dunjia. Most of the spiritual power consumed in the Qimen Array was consumed. In the outside world, it consumes a huge amount of body and vitality at the same time. It's just that his current spiritual power and vitality cultivation are not at the same level at all. Therefore, the Xuanwu Sutra, which could be reused in the Qimen Array, only used one shot here to make him exhausted. Fortunately, this move knocked Ma Yun unconscious, otherwise he really had to admit defeat.
In the stands of the Yang family, Yang Ye sat upright. Old tears welled up. Not to mention how excited I was. For so many years. He is the only one in the Yang family, who firmly believes that this child has abilities that are different from ordinary people. Every year, in the clan meeting, I don't know how many elders and family members raise objections to his approach, and even some are suspicious and discuss behind his back, but he bears it alone. Today's war. This precious grandson really didn't let his hard work go to waste!
It's just that this battle-hardened veteran observed the situation in the field in detail, and clenched the steel gun in his hand while being happy. A pair of sharp eyes did not leave the big hand of the young man in the fake Tudan, and the whole body leaned forward slightly, like a crossbow with an arrow, ready to rush into the high platform at any time. Yang Ye secretly said in his heart: "If it is not bad as expected, these thieves who want to capture the king will definitely take action before King Lu proposes a reward." And as a means of suppressing the Yang family, Ruier will bear the brunt of the danger. At that time, even if I fight for my life, I have to keep Rui'er safe first!"
As Yang Ye expected. Wu Feng, the head of the martial arts family over there, was eager to go down and kill this Yang Rui with his own hands at this moment. The championship that originally looked like it was easy to get was taken away by this kid who didn't pay attention to it before. What's more, the Yang family already has military power on the border, and with this reward, its power will be pressed on the head of the martial family in an instant!
Wu Feng clenched his hands and thought in his heart: "The Yang family will definitely not support the change of the throne of the king, and we have to do it before the news spreads." Fortunately, Tudan had already blocked the entire martial arts dojo before. As a last resort, I can only kill all those who disagree!" Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw the herald of the forbidden army come from the background and bowed down and said, "Lord Wu! General Tudan asked the last general to come and report. The arrangements you made for him have all been put in place, and he is just waiting for the signal from the adult!" Wu Feng thought that he had come just in time, and grabbed the herald's hand and said, "Do you know what we are going to do next?" The herald nodded hurriedly and said, "Your Excellency, General Tudan has already passed the message to the generals. And no matter who sits on the throne, we will only listen to the general's orders!" Wu Feng said: "Okay! Then you will pass the order! Wait for me to throw the cup as a signal, and your forbidden army will take all the lords of the country first according to the plan." When the time comes, those who are willing to submit will stay, and those who do not want will be killed!" The herald was about to turn around and leave when he heard the words, but was stopped by Wu Feng and said, "Slow!" The herald said: "What else does Lord Wu have to order?" Wu Feng looked at the young man in the scene and said in a deep voice: "The people of the Yang family and the Jiang family don't need to stay, just kill them." I'm going to make an example!" and let the herald go. Turning his head to meet the fake Tudan's gaze, the two quickly exchanged glances and turned away.
Knock knock! knock! Wooββ! then the loud war drums and the long trumpets suddenly sounded again, and all the cheers in the stadium were drowned out at once. King Lu took Princess Lingyi, accompanied by Qizhi and Mu Shanshan, to the front of the royal stand. After the drums and cheers stopped, King Lu smiled and said to the audience: "The events of this year's Family Championship have all ended, everyone has worked hard! In this event, many brave young warriors have emerged. This is the embodiment of the progress of the national strength of the Wuyue Kingdom, and it is also the blessing of all the people! While watching the battle, this king really got a lot of inspiration in martial arts. I hope you will also learn a lot. After a pause, he said, "Well, according to convention." Next, all the warriors who enter the top 10 will be rewarded. However, due to the destruction of the martial arts dojo, for the sake of everyone's safety, it has been decided to reschedule the ceremony to tomorrow in the palace! For the palace is unable to receive all the people present, this king is here to say sorry!"
For King Lu's explanation, the audience present naturally felt a little regretful. Because the rewards and appointments of heroes after each competition have always been a hot topic on the streets. However, when the excitement passed, everyone also discovered that the entire martial arts hall building was still collapsing in many places because of the strong collision before. Indeed, in such an environment. It is not possible to watch the consecration ceremony with peace of mind.
But just as many families were preparing to retreat from the stands. Suddenly, a loud voice said, "Everyone leave slowly!" Everyone followed the prestige, but saw that Wu Feng, the head of the martial family, had walked to the royal stand at some point. Wu Feng said to King Lu with a voice that could be heard by the whole audience, holding a wine glass: "I think some words should be made clear before letting everyone leave!"
The perch guarding King Lu's side could not be distinguished, and he stepped forward to block the middle. Drawing his sword and saying to the comer, "Wu Feng, you are deceiving the king!" and turned to the surrounding guards and said angrily: "Who let this irrelevant person come up?
However, there were dozens of forbidden soldiers in the royal stand. But no one stepped forward. Let that Wu Feng stand calmly with the wine glass in his hand. Such a delicate situation caused the audience to stop and look up at the royal stands. I don't know what Wu Feng wants to say to King Lu?
"Are you going to rebel!?" Qi Zhi shouted, raising his sword and wanting to stab Wu Feng. But he was pressed down by King Lu, who came up from his side. Lu Wanglong's eyes narrowed, stared at Wu Feng and asked, "What do you have to say?" Wu Feng ignored King Lu and said with a one-way smile: "Qi Guard, your words are a little hurtful." I'm just here to toast, but you say I'm going to do the opposite. Why? Is there really someone in this martial arts dojo who wants to rebel?"
Qi Zhi, Xiao Long and the others knew that someone wanted to capture the king in the competition and set up another position, and after searching for a long time, they didn't expect the thief to be beside them, and they couldn't help but say angrily: "Villain! You dare to say that you are not!?" Wu Feng smiled: "Yes and no." He turned around and said to King Lu again: "Lu Fangzong." Today's Wuyue Kingdom, I'm afraid it's not what your royal family says. β
King Lu looked at Wu Feng, suddenly sighed and said, "Wu Feng." Are you still holding a grudge against that?" Wu Feng said solemnly: "You executed my son just because the frontier was lost, and my beloved concubine died sadly. I won't take you from the country, but I will make you ruined!" King Lu said: "That's all because I did too much when I first ascended the throne, but after that, I have given you a lot of rights to compensate the martial family." Besides, the crime is not as good as the people, and such infighting between you and me will only deplete the vitality of the Wuyue Kingdom and allow foreign countries to take advantage of the situation. Let's stop!" Wu Feng smiled: "As long as you don't fight, you won't hurt your vitality." I said I wouldn't take you away. He suddenly turned to the audience and said: "My Wuyue Kingdom has been established by force for 300 years! However, the royal family is incompetent, seeking peace externally and being gentle internally, resulting in a decline in its military force. This is evidenced by the fact that none of the royal family has made it to the finals in these family competitions! With such a weak royal family leading us, it is only a matter of time before the Wuyue Kingdom is annexed by its neighbors! According to the law of the country, if no one from the royal family can win the championship this time, they must hand over the military power of the Tiger Fu, and even the right to deploy the 100,000 forbidden troops will have to be shared with others. I don't think King Lu wants to escape this reality, right?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. In this way, the royal family does seem to be hiding something. And because of the focus on the schedule itself, no one really thought about this problem before. It's just that the Lu family dynasty has ruled the Wuyue Kingdom for three hundred years, and if you want to say that he is not worthy of that position, no one dares to accept this. There was a lot of talk in the martial arts arena, and they didn't know how to deal with this situation.
Wu Feng had expected that everyone would have this reaction, and suddenly raised his glass and saluted Jing Shao, who had been sitting beside him: "The Jing family, as the in-laws of the royal family, has always worked hard and is willing to be a vassal. In fact, everyone should be able to see it. For so many years, it was the Jing clan that supported the aura of the royal family! Not only did the warriors of the Jing clan occupy the top 10 in the previous tournaments, but even this one was the Jing clan paving the way for the royal family! If there is anyone in this country who can take on the throne, I think it is none other than Jing Shao!"
As soon as Wu Feng's words came out, he immediately attracted a lot of echoes, and everyone whispered: "Hey! yes! Then Wu Feng is indeed reasonable, wasn't Jing Shao deliberately letting Princess Lingyi before?" "Hey! It's not true! It's a pity that the princess is not angry and failed to break into the final finals." "Well, I think this royal family can't do it without the support of the Jing clan. "The country of Wuyue is established by force, and it is indeed inappropriate if there is no strong king to support it......
Jing Shao listened to everyone's discussion in his seat, and when he was silent, he got up and thanked the audience: "How can I, Jing Shao, be so virtuous, make you look up to you so highly." The Jing clan has always been the help of the Lu family, and I would never dare to take this throne. β
That Wu Feng took advantage of the situation and took a step forward and said, "This is none other than Jing Shao!"
I only heard that some people in the surrounding stands began to shout: "Yes! It must be Jing Shao!" "The Jing family and the royal family are originally one family. The royal family is incompetent, so naturally the Jing clan will be on top!" "Jing Shao should take on this heavy responsibility......
"Wow! Don't be gullible in your words!"
At this time, only a loud shout was heard, which overshadowed the discussion of the audience. Everyone looked at it closely, and it turned out to be Yang Ye, the head of the Yang family! I saw him single-handedly rush away from the guards, jumped onto the royal stands, pointed at Wu Feng, and said: "You villain! Don't talk nonsense here! King Lu has been benevolent and healthy all these years, and he doesn't know how much benefit he has brought to the common people! The current Wuyue country is rich and the people are strong. This is evidenced by the fact that many young heroes have emerged in this competition! Although the royal family's strength has declined somewhat because of this, as long as there are people who support him, he is a good king! My Yang family is willing to follow such a virtuous lord to the death! Who wants to move King Lu today? Hmph, unless you step over the old man!"
"And me!" I heard a loud shout again, and saw that the Linjiang Xianjiang elder also came to the front of the stage and stood side by side with Yang Ye. King Lu looked at the two of them and said happily: "Old general, Jiang Aiqing, you are here!" Jiang Lao said: "Although I like freedom, I also know that the survival of the country is the responsibility of the husband. If someone wants to subvert the Wuyue Kingdom, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. Yang Ye smiled and said: "Jiang Yunfeng, I didn't think you would come to the capital to join in the fun!" Jiang Lao said: "I was taken care of by your good grandson, but I will talk about this later." β
At this time, Jing Shao came over from his seat and saluted Yang Ye and Jiang Lao: "The juniors have seen the old general and Jiang seniors. Wuyue Country can have two supports, naturally no one dares to subvert it. Then Yang Ye shouted: "Don't give me this set! I already saw that you have a ghost in your heart! The battle between you and the princess wants to capture the past, and I have not used this trick on the battlefield back then." Knowing that he is a junior, he can retreat lightly now!" Jing Shao didn't expect this veteran to be so difficult to deal with, as soon as he came up, he touched his nose and retreated to Wu Feng's side with a frown.
Wu Feng looked at the two of them and smiled disdainfully: "What can you do with your Yang family and a declining Jiang family?" I'm not afraid to tell you that this martial arts dojo today is already under our control, and those who know each other will be arrested obediently!"
"In addition to the Yang family and the Jiang family, there is also my Zhou family!" At this time, everyone's eyes widened, but they saw that it was the dissolute Zhou family's son, Zhou Qiao, who slowly walked from his seat to Princess Lingyi's side! Jing Shao couldn't help but say angrily: "Zhou Qiao! Aren't you always at odds with Lingyi? Why don't you help me but help her?" Zhou Qiao waved his hand and smiled: "Those are just petty fights, how can it be better than you colluding with outsiders to seek our country's affairs? Our Zhou family is a businessman, and we just hope for a peaceful country." Jing Shao said with a gloomy face when he heard this: "Did you hear it outside the Yutian Pavilion that day?" Zhou Qiao spread his hands and said, "I happened to hear some." β
Seeing this, King Nalu seemed to have made a decision in his heart, and stepped forward and said to Wu Feng, "Wu Feng." No matter what enmity we have had with us, this matter is about the safety of the whole country, and I am afraid that you will not be able to do so today. β
Wu Feng suddenly laughed when he heard this: "Okay, well, so it can't be talked about? Taiping Country? Hmph, I'm afraid that this matter can't be left to you!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and slammed the cup on the ground! After all, I don't know how turbulent the political situation is, and listen to the next breakdown. (To be continued......)
