Chapter 11: The girl wants to compete

When Lu Guanju returned home, he wanted to find his father Lu Yiping, wanting to tell him that he had seen that strange boy in the city, and he was actually with Xiao Feizi of Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion.

In fact, she didn't know her father's guess about the origin of the kid, but the assassination happened after she bought his bear skin, and she didn't see the kid on the way back.

The woman's instinct told her that this kid was quirky.

It's just that she doesn't know that Zhou Bochang and they have become suspicious of Yuan Xi, but because of the characters behind Yuan Xi and the fact that the other party has no malicious intentions, it is not appropriate to investigate too much.

It is advisable to wait and see what happens.

Lu Guanju didn't see his father, and Lu Yiping had already gone to Ziyang City with his guards.

Her heart became a little restless again, and after thinking about it, she decided to go to the Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion the next day to find out.

Early in the morning, he asked someone to invite Brother Zhou and Second Brother Wu to explain the situation, and then went to the Yunde Martial Arts Hall with the two.

Since the young lady wanted to check it, the two of them felt that it would be okay to go and have a look, it just so happened that they had a good relationship with the Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion, and since the young man appeared on the street with the young hall master, they might be able to find out something.

When they arrived at the martial arts hall, the three of them wanted to spread the word, but they just heard Cheng right and wrong talking, so they walked in directly.

Cheng only felt that his mind was dizzy, the world was spinning, and he only hated himself for being happy for a while.

At this time, where is there any facelessness, he can't run away, he has to step forward to greet the guests, and try to squeeze out a smile, he said flatteringly,

"It's Sister Guan Guan who is here, why do you have time to come to my martial arts hall today? It's Uncle Lu who won't let you stay in the camp, but then again, Sister Guan Guan won't let you shave her eyebrows, and with you in the camp, Uncle Lu's prestige will let you grab half of it. ”

Lu Guanju looked at the right and wrong that was more ugly than crying, and "hummed",

"Don't get close to me, what's the matter? I can't come to your martial arts hall?"

"Sister Guan Guan, where are you talking about this, what is your family and my family, just by virtue of my father's friendship with Uncle Lu, are you still the same as your own family here?"

Not only did the disciples look at their own young hall master like that, but even the three brothers Kong Lixiang felt that they didn't see it, but Yuan Xi heard this, but he thought that Cheng Right and Wrong seemed to have a very good relationship with this "very fragrant" woman.

When he heard that sentence, Yuan Xi guessed in his heart whether the two had a marriage contract.

Yuan Xi only felt strange in his heart, and he couldn't say it.

"I heard you say just now that you want a hand to come?" Lu Guanju put his hands behind his back and said lightly,

"Come on, you can give me some pointers and see if my sister's palm technique has regressed?"

Seeing Lu Guanju's posture, he panicked, the shoulders that had been slapped twice, and the buttocks that had been kicked seemed to be faintly painful, and the hero didn't eat the loss in front of him, he hurriedly said,

"My good sister, Sister Guan Guan, you heard it wrong, what I said is that even if I get the true inheritance of my father, if I practice for a few more years, I have to let you let me have a hand. Then he turned back and winked at his disciples,

"You say, did I say that just now? You can't lie, this is the only daughter of our General Lu, if you want to go to the army to get a bite to eat in the future, then you have to tell the truth!"

The word "to tell the truth" is emphatically spoken.

When the disciples heard that it was the female devil who came, they didn't dare to say anything one by one, but they felt in their hearts that this legendary female devil was strangely good-looking.

The sparse answer made Cheng's face look like a bitter melon.

When Lu Guanju heard this, he sneered,

"Why, can't the disciples of your martial arts hall have enough to eat? I don't even have the strength to speak, if that's the case, I'll tell my father, and I'll go to that martial arts hall more in the future." ”

Hearing Lu Guanju mention the Jin Wei Martial Arts Hall, Cheng Cheng was back in strength, and turned around and shouted,

"Haven't you eaten enough? ...... with a girl" Before the word "we" came out, there was a cold snort in his ears, which made Cheng Shifei suffocate himself.

"Where did that mean?"

Speaking of this, Cheng Shifei suddenly came to his senses, and then he remembered that there was still Brother Yuan by his side, so he hurried to Yuan Xi and introduced to Lu Guanju,

"Sister Guan Guan, this handsome and dashing, suave young man is the new chair martial artist of our martial arts hall, my eldest brother Yuan Xi, but he is very powerful!"

In the spirit of sharing difficulties, he came by the way,

"If you fight him, Sister Guan Guan, it's not me who blows my big brother Yuan, he can really give you a hand. ”

When Lu Guanju heard this, his eyebrows frowned, his apricot eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence,

"Yo, the poor boy has changed his clothes and become a merry young man, and that girl is going to ask for advice!"

Zhou and Wu, who followed Lu Guanju, came in and nodded with Kong Xianglong, and they had already seen Yuan Xi standing with his hands in his hands.

What a young grandmaster.

Wu Zhong asked the eldest brother in a low voice,

"Big brother, can you do it? Miss won't suffer, right?"

Zhou Bochang replied in a low voice,

"I don't know, but if you lose, Miss won't suffer, after all, Miss is a Miss!"

Lu Guanju had the tip of her ears, and when she heard that her own people were destroying her own prestige, a competitive spirit rose in her heart, she turned to Yuan Xi, clasped her fists, and then said coldly,

"Please also ask Yuan Shaoxia to give advice!"

This Yuan Xi was worried, complaining in his heart, why did he push himself out? Isn't it you two who are in love?

Master said that martial artists can learn from each other, and it is also a way of communication between people, but there are two things to remember,

One is that there is no grudge between the two,

The second is to point to the end.

Master said that there is no such thing as a life-and-death competition, and if there is, it means that someone wants to find a high-sounding excuse for committing murder in the name of competition.

Master said, young man, you can be high-spirited, but don't be rash.

Looking at this angry girl again, he thinks it's so cute.

For some reason, he suddenly turned around and asked Cheng Cheng first,

"Don't you two have a marriage contract, and how can I do it?"

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Lu Yiping rushed to Ziyang City.

In the study room of the Shu King's Mansion, Lu Yiping saw Fan Jingtian, the king of Shu, who was practicing calligraphy.

Fan Jingtian is not confused in recent years, not tall, and thin.

After Lu Yi saluted, he opened his mouth,

"Yiping, I'm in such a hurry, but what's going on in Pingnan City?"

"Your Majesty, the last general is coming, and I really have something important to report to you, I don't know what the situation is in Liangcheng now?"

Putting the pen aside, the King of Shu wiped his hands and said,

"The current situation is quite optimistic, our two armies are stationed there, and Liangzhou does not dare to easily send troops, that is, you come and go to make a small fuss. However, this king is also curious, this Liangzhou is the one who should not cause trouble, why does he Shangguan Qingyun remember that dragon chair is here? Whether it is my Bazhou or that Yongzhou, it is not something he can eat, even if he has the support of Tubo? It's a pity that the two armies are facing each other now, otherwise I really have to ask him, whether his head was caught by the door, and he also supported Sima Zhengde to take the throne, didn't he see that Liangzhou was the most non-threatening to Naluoyue City, and the first king sent the free prince to him. ”

When Lu Yiping heard this, his heart was slightly relieved, and he arched his hand and asked,

"Dare to ask the king, how is Jingzhou over there?"

Hearing Lu Yiping ask, the King of Shu was stunned,

"Jingzhou?King Jiangling's side is still an ally, and it is still the same as my Bazhou, so let's wait and see what happens!"

The King of Shu walked out of the bookcase, came to Lu Yiping, and asked,

"You came this time, but it has something to do with Jingzhou?"

Lu Yiping nodded and said in a deep voice,

"That's true, a few days ago, the little girl was intercepted and killed in the territory of Pingnan City, and the other party intended to capture the little girl alive, but fortunately, the other party's action failed, and the person who did it fled to Jingzhou. ”

The King of Shu frowned, and asked with concern first,

"Is my niece hurt?"

Lu Yiping's heart moved slightly, and he hurriedly replied,

"Xie Wang is worried, the little girl is fine, but the gang of thieves is not weak, and they fled directly after the mission failed, and when I sent people to Yunshang City, they had already left the border of Bazhou. ”

After a pause, Lu Yiping continued,

"The little girl has no enemies, and the incident happened within the scope of Pingnan City, I think that the gang of thieves came to me, maybe they want to use the little girl as a threat to open an opening from Pingnan City, with the intention of being unfavorable to Bazhou, so I hurried here to see if you got any news here. ”

Fan Jingtian thought for a moment and slowly spoke,

"Judging from the news from the spies in Jingzhou, it is unlikely that Jingzhou will send troops to us, and now the states dare not take action easily, in case they are taken advantage of by other states. Fighting a war is the most expensive and food-consuming, since that incident, everyone understands the thoughts of the princes and kings of various states, except for Shangguan Qingyun, who is not bright-headed, who is not accumulating money and storing grain, fighting hard and fighting around, the money is gone, the grain is eaten up, and there are fewer people, what can be fought for?"

He paced in the room, then walked up to Lu Yiping, whispered slightly, and Lu Yiping bowed to his ear.

"You are all people around me, this king does not hide from you, this world, fighting back and forth, it is not interesting, I am the king of Bazhou, first of all, this king must first ensure that the people of Bazhou live and work in peace and contentment, as for this world, who has the final say, then who can know?"

Lu Yiping's heart tightened, and he half-knelt and saluted,

"The king's heart is for all the people, it is the blessing of the people of my Bazhou, his subordinates have no ability, they have a loyal heart, the king has an order, and the end will be determined to die. ”

Fan Jingtian grabbed Lu Yiping's arm,

"Yiping, what are you doing here? Your loyalty to the king is visible, and your ability is not to be said, and the matter you just said is also a big thing, so you can talk to me for a few games first, and I will send someone to invite Wei Shuai, let's discuss it together, how about it?"

When Lu Yiping heard this, he was going to play chess with the King of Shu again, and his head was big, but it was not easy to push back, so he had to respond hard.

Lu Yiping's level of chess is indeed not very high, and every time he goes to the City Lord's Mansion to talk with the City Lord Dong Shixian, he will be disgusted by him.

Speaking of which, Lu Yiping begged Dong Shixian to accompany him, mainly to improve his chess strength.

This King of Shu is a veritable stinky chess basket, with Lu Yiping's level, he can't lose beautifully, and he often accidentally wins a few pieces.

Chess skills also depend on talent, they are half a catty to eight taels, Lu Yiping is slightly higher, and these are the reasons why he is reluctant to play chess with the King of Shu.

No one wants to lose in chess, let alone let others let them go.

Especially the one in a high position.

Lu Yiping pondered and hesitated, the king of Shu frowned, and reminded him,

"Yiping, are you improving or regressing in chess? You used to play chess without such ink, we are both masters who fall like flying, if you want to play something, I will give you my pair of baby walnuts when you turn around, and the chess pieces don't have to be played, hurry up, and when Lao Wei comes, we can't finish this game of chess." ”

When Lu Yiping heard this, he hurriedly saluted first,

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The King of Shu saw it, didn't this delay things even more, and hurriedly waved his hand,

"Gotcha, gotta gotcha, hurry up, it's really detrimental to the reputation of the two of us as 'one breath of flying clouds'. ”

Lu Yiping was in that position that he had been optimistic about for a long time.

A breath of flying clouds originated from the first time the two played chess.

At that time, the king of Shu wanted to play chess, but the others were hesitant one by one, and they did not dare to teach the chess skills of the king of Shu.

And Lu Yiping, who had just been promoted to the general of Pingnan City, saw that the opportunity was not coming, his chess skills were poor, and he was just able to please the king of Shu.

So he volunteered,

"The last general is willing to talk to the king for a game!"

didn't guess first, the king of Shu asked Lu Yiping to hold the sunspot first.

Lu Yiping's twist is on the plate, and the king of Shu follows the drop, which you have come and gone with more than a dozen hands, and each time the fall is completed in one breath.

The king of Shu laughed and called Lu Yiping a confidant, but others really can't do it, they raised their sons for a long time, and finally lost a son and a half.

The others were secretly muttering, wanting to lose to the King of Shu, and let him win not so easily, so why don't you think about it for a while.

Unexpectedly, in the first game, Lu Yiping actually won the king of Shu and a half.

Lu Yiping was also stunned. The king of Shu didn't think so, he was addicted and wanted to play another game.

At that time, the king of Shu pointed to others and said, look, this is the master.

In the second game, Lu Yiping was lucky and lost three and a half sons.

When he wanted to see it and accept it, the king of Shu waved his hand and won two out of three games.

In the third game, he basically didn't think about it, and quickly fell down, it can be seen that he is like this, and the King of Shu is not to be outdone.

The king of Shu said while playing, it is still a flat chess skill, on par with this king, we can be described as "a breath of flying clouds".

The other ministers looked at their noses and noses, and their noses looked at their hearts, and they muttered in their hearts,

Two stinky chess dads.

At the end of the third game, Lu Yiping was about to collapse, and dense beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he actually won the son of the king of Shu again.

The king of Shu is very generous, and said with a smile, Yiping's chess skills are really good, if it weren't for the king's negligence, maybe the king won.

It was also Lu Yiping's brain that turned fast, and quickly said,

"Wang, it was me who took the lead in two games and took the lead, and I still lagged behind Wang Shangzi in these three games combined, speaking of which, Wang Shang won. ”

When the king of Shu heard this, he laughed,

"It seems to make sense to hear you say this, but this king loses and loses, but it's a pity that you are stationed in Pingnan City, otherwise you can talk to this king from time to time for a few games. ”

So every time he came to the mansion of the King of Shu, Lu Yiping would be pulled by the King of Shu to accompany him for a good time.

This chess is not easy to play, either everyone is happy, or they are all ......

Fortunately, the king of Shu has good chess skills, and if he loses chess, he will make up for it when he drinks, but this king of Shu is also an interesting person, and he has to go into battle himself when he pours wine.

Lu Yiping has a characteristic of drinking, he blushes when he drinks alcohol, so every time the King of Shu comes back from making up for it, he is very happy, and his face is red when he drinks to Lao Lu, and he is about to vomit.

In fact, in the Shu Palace, Lu Yiping has never had a good time drinking.

Due to Lu Yiping's delay, he didn't finish a game of chess, and Wei Tiangang came.

After Wei Tiangang gave the king of Shu a salute, Lu Yiping saluted his boss, and then said to the king of Shu,

"Your Majesty, I'm sure I'll lose this game, my mind isn't here today, I can't play my level, otherwise, let's get here, right?"

When the king of Shu saw that this chess could not be played, he put aside the chess pieces.

"I can also see that you are really not in good shape today!"

Then motioned for Wei Tiangang to sit down.

"Wei Shuai, Yiping came because something happened in Pingnan City, let him talk to you. ”

Wei Tiangang has just passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, with a burly figure, sword eyebrows, and beautiful hair.

After listening to Lu Yiping's recounting of Lu Guanju's assassination, Wei Tiangang was not in a hurry to speak.

After pondering for a moment, he took a sip of tea and spoke,

"Your Majesty, this thing is strange, if it was done by Jingzhou, then we can speculate that they have two intentions, one is to use this as a threat, to find a breakthrough from General Lu, or to rebel or coerce, but I think even if they succeed, with General Lu's person, the possibility of success is extremely small, and the other point is that it is deliberate, so that we have a gap in General Lu's heart, so that we can reverse, but General Lu also said that the gang of thieves fled to Jingzhou, but their whereabouts were not hidden too much, no matter what they pretended, we can know that Jingzhou did it。 That's where the weirdness comes in. ”

Wei Tiangang glanced at Lu Yiping, saw that his face was calm, and continued,

"Therefore, targeting General Lu is just the first plan of his plan, perhaps this plan is just a blindfold, and more importantly, it is more important for us to be suspicious of Jingzhou as an ally, so as to break our alliance with Jingzhou. ”

Hearing what Wei Tiangang said, the King of Shu nodded,

"Wei Shuai is right, this possibility is very high, maybe it was the people in Yangzhou who colluded with Jingzhou to have such an assassination incident, if the niece of the world is arrested, then Yiping will be very passive here. ”

Walked up to Lu Yiping, pressed Lu Yiping, who wanted to get up, patted his shoulder, and continued,

"If they can't coerce them, they may use murder to provoke Yiping, and Yiping will inevitably hate Jingzhou at that time. ”

Turning his head to look at Lu Yiping, he continued,

"Yiping, this matter, whether it is successful or not, is to draw our attention to Jingzhou, so that we can't sit idly by, we have the Xiliang army in the west, and it is not appropriate to act rashly now, if you say, this matter is deliberately done by Jingzhou, test our attitude, if we just can't do it, then it will be very passive. ”

When Wei Tiangang and Lu Yiping heard this, it was true, Wei Tiangang asked,

"Dare to ask the king, how should we deal with it?"

The King of Shu sighed for a few breaths, and then said,

"Wei Shuai, a few days ago, several city lords reported to me that the city districts are peaceful and the treasury is full, not to mention anything else, with our current grain and grass reserves, it is enough to support my current five-way army for three years, Wei Shuai, get ready, I think this world, I'm afraid it's not too peaceful." ”

Wei Tiangang got up and bowed and clenched his fists,

"Rest assured, I promise, I am a good son in Bazhou, and there is no one who eats military pay for nothing. ”

The King of Shu nodded and looked at Lu Yiping,

"Yiping, I'll first write a letter to King Jiangling, asking for an explanation about the assassination of his niece in Jingzhou, and see how Jingzhou reacts. ”

Lu Yiping remembered something and asked,

"Your Majesty, what is the attitude of my master's Qingyun Sect?"

The King of Shu smiled,

"Several major sects should have passed the gas, there is a unified agreement, that is, to ensure the safety of the princes and kings of each state, and must not assassinate the princes and kings of other states in order to cause war, you don't know, now in my palace, there are two masters of the Qingyun Sect, you also know, there are not many real masters of the major sects, each sect is not more than a hand, the reason why the existence of the sect was allowed before the dynasty was not because of the output of the sect to the warrior? There can only be so many descendants left in this sect, like you and your senior brother Feng Yuan, although they are descendants and have learned real skills, don't they still have to hold important positions in the army? This is the meaning of the existence of the sect. No matter how powerful the master's martial arts are, it doesn't take much to send hundreds of iron horsemen to surround the mountain, can't it still be wiped out?"

Lu Yiping saw that the king of Shu was thirsty, so he quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to the king of Shu.

After the king of Shu drank half of it, he continued,

"Before the Great Jin Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, it was also an era of many sects, and some sects could even influence the princes of a state. Later, the Great Jin Dynasty was established, and the Nine Great Dynasties contributed a lot, and now the ancestors of our vassal kings, including Sima Chonghuo, the founder of the Great Jin Dynasty, have a lot to do with these sects. ”

The king of Shu suddenly lowered his voice and said to the two,

"Do you know why the Qingyun Sect sent someone to protect me?"

He looked at the two of them who were a little nervous, and said,

"Don't worry, no one will assassinate me!"
