Chapter 494: A dilemma between love and righteousness since ancient times

"Mother!" Nalan Shu suddenly became anxious.

"Kuluotu, come back. ”

Nalan Tuo waved his hand to stop Queen Nalan Clan's actions, and frowned: "You think I don't want to, if I take him down now." What do these onlookers think of my Nalan clan? If others are fine, but Xiao Cheng is my eldest disciple, if he really takes Shang Zhengyu, then how can the people not suspect that this is a play that our Nalan clan is playing for Xiao Cheng? At that time, the reputation of my royal family will be damaged, this is a big thing!"

"Then why didn't you directly stop Shang Zhengyu from participating in the first place!" Queen Nalan was also anxious, she who had obeyed Nalan Tuo's words in the past faced her husband for the first time, because it involved Nalan Shu and her only daughter, and she couldn't control it so much in a hurry!

"Grandma, don't ...... it"

"And you, there's no room for you to talk here!"

Queen Nalan was already a little angry, but Nalan Tuo was not too excited, and still looked thoughtful.

At this moment, it is impossible to stop halfway through the competition, otherwise it will greatly damage the credibility of the people of the royal family, but Shang Zhengyu's successive victories have made Nalan Tuo have no full confidence in Xiao Cheng, if Shang Zhengyu wins again, will he really marry his daughter to Shang Zhengyu?

At this time, an official suddenly ran up to the ring with a dozen in his arms, and suddenly Luo Tu didn't care that Narantuo and the queen were by his side, and directly spread these folds on the ground and looked at them one by one, and it didn't take long for his face to show joy, and he immediately took a few of them and walked quickly to Narantou.

"Look at this, Your Majesty. If it weren't for my expectations, this Shang Zhengyu, as a messenger of the Great Wei Dynasty, should have come to my Xueyun Kingdom to beg us to send troops to attack the rear release of the Heavenly Khan, so as to ease the defensive pressure of Yunzhou, we can be so ......"

Suddenly Luo Tu whispered in Nalan Tuo's ear, Nalan Shu still wanted to eavesdrop secretly, but Nalan Tuo had already prepared to spread his internal strength all over his body, and he couldn't wear any sound out of his body, so Nalan Shu could only be anxious but had no other way.

"That's very good. ”

Nalan Tuo smiled slightly, and returned his gaze to the competition platform, at this time, Shang Zhengyu also happened to finish pranayama, and slowly got up, but looking at his hesitant appearance, it seemed that he was considering something.

Xiao Cheng stepped forward with his fists clenched: "Brother Shang is ready, then let's start." ”

"Wait. ”

Shang Zhengyu seemed to have made a decision, he took a deep breath, turned around to face Nalan Tuo, Queen Nalan and Nalan Shu in the ring, knelt down on one knee respectfully but extremely solemnly, bowed his head and said: "Respected king, Shang Zhengyu may not be able to continue to participate in the competition with Xiao Cheng, and please atone for your sins." ”

"Why is that?"

"It's time to come to the last moment, how can you retreat!"

"How can there be such a reason!"

......

Just now Shang Zhengyu defeated the favorites Charhan and Altay in a row, and was about to enter, why did it stop abruptly?

The lingering in the field is unusually harsh.

However, Shang Zhengyu has made up his mind and has not changed.

Nalan Shu was suddenly anxious, but Nalan Tuo had already taken precautions, and a row of guards suddenly blocked in front of Nalan Shu.

"Take Her Royal Highness the princess back to the palace. ”

A majestic imperial aura emanated from Naranto's body, and what he said was a holy decree, and no one could disobey it.

Although Nalan Shu was full of reluctance, Nalan Tuo instantly sealed the three big points around him, making her unable to speak and her body unable to move. He could only leave the arena surrounded by palace maids and guards. Nalan Shu's tears flowed all over her chest, but she was helpless.

The changes in watching the ring also fell into the eyes of others, and the original noise was suddenly quiet, but there were a lot more whispers.

"Shang Zhengyu, you surprised me. Narantuo's words were extremely exquisite, whether this accident meant that he had trekked through mountains and rivers to come to Cloud City, or whether it meant that he had defeated the two top masters of Xueyun Country in a row, or that he had the opportunity to ascend to the sky at this moment but took the initiative to stop.

Shang Zhengyu bowed his head: "Please also ask the king to forgive your sins, if you don't follow the rules, Shang Zhengyu can also admit defeat." ”

"Shang Zhengyu, be cautious in your words and deeds! In this martial arts arena, there is no such thing as admitting defeat before you make a move!"

It was none other than Xiao Cheng who spoke. If Shang Zhengyu admits defeat at this moment, then what is the victory he has won, how can he convince the public!

The surrounding spectators also discussed it, and everyone thought that Shang Zhengyu might have their own concerns, but they never thought that Shang Zhengyu would admit defeat directly!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop, and someone would take the initiative to give it up!?

Nalan Tuo's voice was like a bell, his voice soared into the sky, and the entire Yunxiao City could hear his holy will: "Shang Zhengyu, Xiao Cheng is right, on the martial arts platform of our Xueyun Country, unless your skills are not as good as others, you must not admit defeat, if you do not do your best to deliberately lose, it will be an insult to my Xueyun Kingdom! From the moment you board this martial arts platform, you can only move forward, this is the rule of my Xueyun Country, you understand!"

"But Shang Zhengyu ...... Can't win. Shang Zhengyu pondered again and again, but still shook his head.

Empress Nalan admired Shang Zhengyu's performance, and she sat peacefully in her seat, waiting for Nalan Tuo to decide.

Nalan Tuo got up, looked around, listened to the whispers around him, cleared his throat, and his voice suddenly spread throughout the audience: "Don't speculate a lot, the reason why Shang Zhengyu can't compete with Xiao Cheng is because he is a native of the Central Plains, and he already has a family, so it is impossible to marry my daughter Nalan Shu, but so." ”

One sentence suddenly caused an uproar around him, and the people who were still speculating suddenly realized, but some people with a clear mind immediately reflected that if Shang Zhengyu really wanted to participate, he would go directly to the stage at the beginning, instead of being forced to come to the stage under the words of Her Royal Highness the princess, thinking about it like this, it is not difficult to understand Shang Zhengyu's behavior at the moment.

"But what Xiao Cheng said is also right, the martial arts arena of my Snow Cloud Country is extremely sacred, and you can't set this precedent just because of your special situation. In this case, we might as well exchange the final prize, if Xiao Cheng wins, he will naturally be able to win and marry the princess. If you win

Well, then I'll promise you a condition that's not too much. ”

Nalan Tuo looked at Shang Zhengyu meaningfully, and said with a smile: "I know what you have traveled thousands of miles to represent the Great Wei Kingdom to envoy my Xueyun Kingdom for, if you win, I will promise you, how." ”

It was like a sudden thunderbolt from the sky, which immediately made Shang Zhengyu's whole person stunned.

If you let the ministers in Great Wei discuss it for fifteen or sixteen days, and then report to the Son of Heaven to wait for the imperial approval, it will not be possible to do it for a month before and after, but Nalan Tuo has decided so?

This is not a game, this is a war of tens of thousands of people!

"Shang Zhengyu, doing your best is the greatest respect for my Snow Cloud Country Martial Dao. ”

After Nalan Tuo said this, he sat back on the throne, and Queen Nalan smiled slightly, it seemed that there was finally a satisfactory solution.

"Brother Shang, please!"

Although Xiao Cheng didn't fully understand what the meaning of what the king said, what he needed to do now was to go all out to win!

Shang Zhengyu also woke up from the original shock, and clenched his hands into fists: No matter what, he must win this victory! The brothers who are far away in Yunzhou are still waiting for him to go back with the victory!

"Brother Xiao, please. ”

Shang Zhengyu's heart is like a stone, this one, he wants to win it desperately!

............

The Xuantie heavy sword was inserted upside down on the edge of the martial arts arena, and Jade Duo also fell to the bottom of the field, but the scimitar used by Xiao Cheng also collapsed from it under the huge force and was thrown aside by Xiao Cheng.

Shang Zhengyu and Xiao Cheng have been fighting for hundreds of rounds, but they still don't know whether they win or lose, Shang Zhengyu was punched in the back, and the clothes on his upper body suddenly exploded directly under the fist wind, revealing half of his body's strong muscles.

Xiao Cheng was not far behind, he was slapped by Shang Zhengyu twice, and some blood was already oozing from the corners of his mouth, but the battle intent in his eyes was even higher than before, like a burning torch.

Xiao Cheng has been waiting for this day for I don't know how many years, when he was six years old, he had already secretly felt feelings for Nalan Shu when he first saw her, but Xiao Cheng has been silently burying these in his heart, as a big brother-like guardian of his own sister.

originally thought that this life would be like this, but when he went to the Central Plains to pick up Nalan Shu, he saw the complicated and incomprehensible eyes when Nalan Shu looked at Shang Zhengyu when he left.

There's an attachment in it that I've never seen before.

Going around and around, in Xiao Cheng's opinion, this is fate, so that he and Shang Zhengyu met on this competition platform.

This time, Xiao Cheng will take out all his strength, defeat Shang Zhengyu in a dignified manner, and win Nalan Shu!
