Chapter 17: Provocation in front of the temple

The next day, in the Zhaoyang Palace, the emperor led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet the envoys of Dayan.

Wei Qian stepped forward to present the handwritten letter of Emperor Dayan, and also presented the gift slip he brought.

The emperor Longyan was happy, and the queen and the prince set up a banquet to entertain the envoys.

After three rounds of drinking, Hedu raised his wine glass and faced Ye Nian: "This meeting with General Ye is indispensable, Hedu respects General Ye a glass!" ”

Ye Nian looked at Hedu, and only learned yesterday that he was the brother of the enemy deputy general He Zhe whom she killed in the battle of Wushiling!

This person was afraid that he was making things difficult, Ye Nian picked up the wine glass and signaled to Hedu: "General Hedu is polite, please!" After speaking, he drank the wine in the cup.

Wei Qian smiled and praised: "General Ye's women don't let her eyebrows, she is so courageous!" ”

Hedu put down the cup and said with a smile: "Ben will be very curious, I have heard that the women of Great Wei are as gentle as water, which is pitiful, can anyone like General Ye be willing to marry?" ”

The emperor's face changed, and there was silence in the hall, and everyone could hear the mockery in Hedu's tone.

"Ordinary people don't dare, and they don't deserve it!" Xiao Siyu's voice was cold.

The meaning of maintenance in his words was too obvious, and several people, including the emperor, frowned slightly, but their thoughts were different.

Dugu Sheng didn't intend to say anything to stop Hedu, he raised his head slightly and looked at Ye Nian opposite in an uncertain sense.

"General Hedu doesn't know, General Ye Xiao married three years ago, but unfortunately he didn't have the heart of the king, and he divorced a few days ago!"

As soon as Shen Bingwen's words came out, the envoys of Dayan were stunned.

Dugu Sheng felt a little pity in his heart.

At this time, I only heard the fifth prince Xiao Jin sneer, and said: "General Hedu doesn't know even more, if it weren't for Prime Minister Shen trying his best to stuff his daughter into the past to be a concubine, how could the young couple be separated?" ”

Shen Bingwen was surprised, why did these five princes always have trouble with him, and said with some annoyance: "The little girl and Lord Zhao are in love, how can the five princes talk nonsense!" ”

"The two are happy, that is, they are willing to be concubines, but the daughter of the prime minister can really let go of her body."

"You're .....!."

The emperor scolded angrily: "Presumptuous! What a system to be in front of the envoys! After speaking, he glared at Shen Bingwen fiercely.

As a prime minister, squeezing out meritorious generals in front of foreign envoys really doesn't matter how important it is!

Hedu looked happy, and pretended to greet him: "Hedu has no intention of mentioning General Ye's sadness, General Ye doesn't mind, right?" ”

Dugu Sheng also raised his glass to Ye Nian at this time: "General Hedu has no intention, please don't take General Ye to heart, this palace respects General Ye with a cup." ”

Ye Nian's body didn't move, he just smiled and raised his eyes to look at him: "This general is the guard of the post house, you can't drink too much, the prince forgive me!" ”

Dugu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and put down the wine glass held in the air with some embarrassment.

Seeing that she was so arrogant and didn't give the prince face, Hedu became more and more presumptuous with his wine: "Your Majesty, are you Dawei useless?" The guard of the post house was actually handed over to a woman, did he want to humiliate and look down on me Dayan? ”

The emperor was already very displeased at this time, if it weren't for the two countries intersecting and not beheading, he really wanted to cut this Hedu!

Ye Zhao was also extremely angry, if he wasn't afraid of affecting the diplomatic relations between the two countries, he would have wanted to step forward and beat this Hedu to death!

Ye Nianben didn't bother to deal with him, but this Hedu was really looking for death, and he was just about to speak, but he didn't expect to hear Zhao Mocheng's voice.

"This official heard that in the previous battle of Wushiling, General Ye Nian killed a deputy general of the enemy army in two moves, this person's name is He Zhe, and General Hedu is acquainted?"

Seeing that Hedu's face changed, Zhao Mocheng snorted coldly and said: "I, Dawei, are heroes based on military merits, only skills are inferior to others, and there is no distinction between men and women!" General Hedu wants to take revenge for personal gain, but he will only be quick to speak, and he is not afraid of making people laugh! ”

Hedu was annoyed and angry, stood up and stepped forward, and bowed to the emperor: "Since General Ye Nian is so brave, Hedu wants to be taught and taught, please ask the emperor for permission!" ”

The emperor hesitated a little, this Hedu is a fierce general of Dayan, if Ye Nian is allowed to fight, he is afraid that it will be more than lucky!

But this Hedu is so arrogant, if he refuses, what is the face of Da Wei!

"Father, what do you want! Say yes! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on the queen's side.

Ye Nian raised his eyes with some doubts, but he didn't recognize this person!

The emperor's face sank, and he scolded in a low voice: "Don't be presumptuous!" ”

The man stuck out his tongue and grimaced!

There are only five princes in the palace, and Ye Nian, the little prince sitting next to the queen, has never seen it, and the behavior of this little prince is too much. ...!

Dugu Sheng was also dissatisfied with Hedu's arrogance at this time, he had seen Ye Nian's skills with his own eyes, I was afraid that Hedu would not be able to bargain, and it would be Dayan's face that he would lose at that time!

His face was gloomy, and he shouted in a low voice: "General Hedu, don't be rude when you drink too much!" ”

Hedu turned a deaf ear, and had some obscene provocations against Ye Nian: "The divorced woman, I'm afraid that no one will want to marry in the future, if General Ye is willing to learn from the general, even if you lose, I won't dislike you for marrying someone, how about taking you back to be a concubine?" ”

Ye Zhao was furious and scolded: "Shameless, presumptuous! ”

Ye Nian was a little distressed when he saw his father angry: This Hedu is bent on looking for death, so there is no need to get used to him!

But the emperor looked at it frequently, and the warning in his eyes made it clear that she was not allowed to come out and embarrass Dawei......

"Can you bear this kind of humiliation, Ye Nian? If you're afraid, just say it, don't embarrass me Dawei! ”

It's the little prince who speaks again!

The emperor glanced at the little prince with a dark face, and the queen was so frightened that he hurriedly pressed the restless elbow who didn't know where to turn!

"A dignified seven-foot man, what kind of ability is it to bully a woman! General Hedu! Liang Tian wants to be taught! ”

The first to step forward was actually Liang Tian, the commander of the Royal Forest Army!

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, "This is Liang Tian, the commander of our Imperial Forest Army, General Hedu is willing to give advice?" ”

Hedu sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

"Since General Ye doesn't dare to fight, then there is Lao Liang in charge!"

The emperor led a group of people to move to the Guanghua Palace.

Guanghua Hall is a place for princes to study and practice martial arts, and the center of the huge martial arts arena outside the main hall is a circular ring, and the left and right sides are full of weapon racks.

Liang Tian and Hedu stood on the stage at this time, and everyone in the audience had their own thoughts, stretching their necks and looking at the two people on the stage without turning their eyes.

Ye Nian's face was slightly gloomy, in the three years of Longyu Pass, his father led his troops to fight with this Hedu several times, although this person lacked strategy, he was extremely brave, and he couldn't help but worry a little that Liang Tian was not his opponent.

"General Ye Xiao thinks that Commander Liang has a chance of winning?"

Ye Nian was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw when the fifth prince Xiao Jin sat next to her, leaning on the armrest with one hand and staring at her with a wicked smile.

Although these five princes are gentlemen, they can be regarded as helping themselves twice, Ye Nian smiled at him: "The five princes might as well have more confidence in Commander Liang!" ”

Xiao Jin chuckled twice, this woman is really interesting, she is obviously the one who has no confidence in Liang Tian, and she teases herself in turn.

On the stage, Liang Tian held a spear and clenched his fist towards Hedu: "Offended!" He stepped forward with his leg and stabbed towards Hedu.

Hedu didn't move, and with a swing of his hammer he blocked the spear that stabbed him.

Liang Tian's footwork is flexible, taking the lead, spear piercing, stabbing, pointing, plucking, dancing quickly, Hedu is a little tired of coping, and after a while, Liang Tian found a flaw and 'thorned' to break the brocade clothes on Hedu's shoulders.

Liang Tian didn't dare to hurt the envoy, and ruined the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so he collected the spear when he was there.

But when Na Hedu stopped his hand, he suddenly exerted his strength, took a step forward with his left leg, and smashed the door of Liang Tianmian with a hammer with both hands!

Liang Tian dodged in shock, and then he suddenly got close to him with a false move, and smashed out another hammer in an instant!

The disadvantage of the spear is especially obvious when it is close to you!

In the struggle with Hedu, Liang Tianheng's spear blocked two hammers, and when Hedu's third hammer was smashed out, the wooden gun barrel was overwhelmed and snapped, and Liang Tian was instantly knocked down and knelt on one knee!

Na Hedu didn't intend to stop, he raised the hammer in his right hand and smashed it again, and the Great Wei Qunchen was shocked when he saw it, this hammer went down, how could Liang Tian still have his life!

Liang Tian didn't expect this Hedu to kill at this time, and he was a little unwilling in his heart, how could he die at the hands of the enemy generals in this hall!

Hedu's eyes were full of killing intent, and seeing that the hammer was about to fall on Liang Tian's head, a small copper hammer suddenly flew and smashed on the sledgehammer in his hand.

Annoyed, he looked in the direction where the hammer was flying.

Ye Nian was sitting closest to the weapon rack, and when he saw that Liang Tian was invincible, he made a move.

She flew into the ring and looked at Hedu in a cold voice: "Compete in martial arts, just point to the end, General Hedu's murderous intent is too heavy!" ”

Hedu snorted coldly: "In the ring, if your skills are not as good as others, you will die and die!" Hum! actually sneak attacked, sure enough, women and villains are the most difficult to raise! ”

Ye Nian stepped forward to help Liang Tian up, and saw that blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he was already injured internally, so he said, "Commander Liang is careless!" ”

Liang Tian saw that she saved herself, and she also maintained his face in her words, and he was very grateful.

Ye Nian walked to the weapon rack and took out a sky-breaking hammer and looked at Hedu: "Coincidentally, this general also likes to use a hammer, and wants to ask General Hedu for advice!" ”

Except for Xiao Siyu, the other princes were a little shocked in their eyes, this sky-breaking hammer weighed about 100 catties, and it was the heaviest weapon in this Guanghua Palace, how could this Ye Nian hold it so easily!

Hedu looked at the sky-breaking hammer in Ye Nian's hand, he was a little surprised, and he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy in his heart, so he waved the double hammer and attacked Ye Nian first.

Ye Nian dodged a few times and easily dodged, Hedu saw that she had been dodging and did not attack, he was a little annoyed, and after a few rounds, he roared and picked up the double hammer and smashed it towards Ye Nian with all his might.

Ye Nian sneered, his eyes turned cold, he turned around to avoid it, and smashed it behind Hedu with the Sky Breaking Hammer in his hand!

After a loud bang, Hedu turned around and raised the double hammer to block Ye Nian's smash, he gritted his teeth, his arms trembled a little, and his heart was horrified: This woman's strength is above him!

Ye Nian raised his arm and instantly hammered again, Hedu's legs couldn't support him and he knelt on the ground, and there was some fishy heat in his throat.

Ye Nian took away the killing intent in his eyes, the strength in his hand loosened, and the third hammer smashed down slightly, Hedu couldn't resist it, the sky-breaking hammer hit him on the shoulder, and the spikes on the hammer head pierced into the flesh and blood flowed like an infusion!

Hedu spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Dugu Sheng stood up suddenly, his face was shocked, and he shouted: "General Hedu! ”

"Well done!" The naughty little prince dangled his legs, clapped his hands and shouted happily, so frightened that the queen covered his mouth.

The emperor and the courtiers had not yet recovered from the shock, and Dayan's fierce general was unexpectedly knocked to the ground by Ye Nian with three hammers like a whack-a-mole, so simple and rude!

Ye Zhao's face was full of pride, and he didn't care about Hedu's life or death, it was not a pity to dare to humiliate his daughter's death, it was a big deal that the peace talks broke down, and he would take Ah Nian to lead the troops to live in Longyu Pass for the rest of his life!

Xiao Siyu helped his forehead a little helplessly, what is this woman not good at, how can she like to play with a hammer, she has no beauty at all!

But when I looked up at her standing on the stage confidently and openly, I felt that her body was full of radiance, and everything in her eyes had lost its color, and she was the only one left!

Dugu Sheng looked at the emperor with anger on his face: "If you hurt General Hedu's life, this prince will never give up!" ”

The emperor came back to his senses and hurriedly ordered the inner attendant to pass on the imperial doctor.

Ye Nian looked indifferent, glanced at Dugu Sheng and said: "The prince doesn't have to worry, although General Hedu said that life and death in the ring are fateful, but my Great Wei State of etiquette, I am a guest in every country, and I will never hurt his life." It's just that General Hedu should be given a long insight, what is it called to sit in a well and watch the sky. ”

Ye Nian's words were reasonable, neither humble nor arrogant, and he gave the emperor a face, if it weren't for the fact that Nahedu still looked like life and death were unknown, the emperor would laugh out loud with joy!

The imperial physician hurriedly came, carefully examined Hedu's injuries, and then said: "Your Majesty, General Hedu's shoulder did not hurt the bones, but the wound of this skin wound was a little deep, although the bleeding did not stop, but it was fine. Xu suffered some internal injuries before he fell unconscious! ”

In fact, this Hedu was not unconscious, but he felt too embarrassed so he pretended to faint.

In order to appease Prince Yan, the emperor gave many precious medicinal materials to Hedu to recuperate. Dugu Sheng felt humiliated and had no intention of staying any longer, and soon carried Hedu back to the post house under the escort of Niu Ben.

As soon as this Dayan's people left, the joy on the emperor's face was no longer hidden: "Ye Nian, this battle has raised the prestige of our country and won beautifully!" Say, "What reward do you want?" ”

Ye Nian bowed his head and bowed: "The last general's matter, don't dare to take credit!" ”

The emperor laughed and said, "The gold and jade are too vulgar, not worthy of my little general Ye, let me think about it!" ”

The corners of Ye Nian's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt helpless: I'm just a layman, the gold and jade are very good!

The Yellow Emperor pondered for a moment, got up and walked in front of Ye Nian, and took out a short knife from his sleeve, the scabbard was entwined, and the dragon's eyes were embellished with rubies.

"This knife was given by the first emperor, named Longyuan, which can blow a sharp blade and sharpen iron like clay! I have worn it since the time of the crown prince, and today I give it to Aiqing. Seeing the knife is like seeing me! ”

After speaking, he took Ye Nian's hand and put Long Yuan in her hand.

Ye Nian didn't want it very much, she didn't like to use this kind of short weapon, and it was so valuable, she had to bother to take care of it, it was very troublesome!

But looking at the emperor's expression that could not be refused, he finally reluctantly accepted it and knelt down to thank him.

Although several princes were dissatisfied, they did not dare to speak up.

"Father! How can you give Long Yuan to her? The little prince jumped up, his face full of disbelief!

"I shouldn't have relented and brought you here today! Queen, take the seventh away quickly! ”

"The concubine obeys!"

Old Seven? Could it be that this is the famous Seven Princesses?

The queen pulled the seventh princess, who was dressed as a man and pouted, to leave.

The seventh princess, Xiao Shuyue, stopped in front of Ye Nian.

Her chin was slightly raised, and her face was full of arrogance: "Hey, are you willing to be the master of this palace?" ”

"I don't want to."

Ye Nian refused without hesitation.

Xiao Shuyue was so surprised that her face turned red with anger, but she was dragged down by the queen before she could scold!

Zhao Mocheng kept looking at Ye Nian on the stage, with mixed feelings in his heart...... After knowing her for six years, he didn't know she was so capable!

She practiced martial arts diligently, and every time she returned to the general's mansion from the academy, she would always see her sweating under the pear blossom tree, dancing with a spear or playing with a sword.

I've never heard her shout that I'm tired, I've suffered losses in the barracks countless times, I'm covered in bruises, and I can smile and say that I don't feel bitter when I do what I like......

Do you like it?

She once said that when she was a child, she sat on the steps at the gate every day and waited for her father to come home, and after thinking about it for a long time, she thought that only by practicing martial arts could she be by her father's side from morning to night......

Zhao Mocheng drank the stuffy wine, his heart was bitter, there were many things he had forgotten, why did he clearly recall them one by one after he left after the separation?
