Chapter Ninety-One: The Lord of the King
The demon immediately came out of the door, his face very ugly.
"What's going on?" Fu Yanqing hurriedly said: "My wife is fine, I heard that the voice became stronger, it should be that the elixir has taken effect." Do you want to kill me quickly?"
"It's scary to have a baby...... the demon looked panicked, and now he knows that it is so difficult for women.
Suddenly, a baby's cry came through the door. The stone in everyone's hearts was lowered. The elixir was so powerful that he actually ate the elixir and gave birth to the child.
After a while, Wen Po went out with her swaddling clothes in her arms, and said excitedly: "Congratulations to Wei Guogong, you are a daughter, and the mother and son are safe." ”
Hearing that the mother and son were safe, Fu Yanqing's face finally showed joy. immediately looked back at Zong Xin, at this time Zong Xin was holding the demon, because of the blow, his eyes were a little dull.
Fu Yanqing took over her daughter and was full of joy, it was indeed not easy to have a child, and Fu Yanqing knew this very well, because he was already the father of six children. The lady is old, and when she was pregnant, a doctor said that this baby was not easy, and she didn't expect it to be so difficult.
Fu Yanqing came to Zong Xin's side and bowed deeply: "Thank you, master, for saving my family's two lives." ”
"Good, good...... It is the child who is deeply blessed, and the poor monk was born as soon as she arrived. Zong Xin was also sweating, and the child was finally born safely.
"It seems that everything is providential...... The old man still has something to trouble Master Zongxin, this child is difficult to be born, I am afraid it will not be easy to support. Just like the master said, you just arrived at her today and was born to greet her, which means that you have a relationship with the little girl, please accept the master as a registered disciple, and you don't have to worry if you have the blessing of a high monk. "Fu Yanqing is not superstitious, but it is necessary to have a good relationship with Zongxin. And it is also a blessing for a girl to be able to accept Zongxin as a disciple.
Zong Xin said: "Well, I will recognize this apprentice." As for the legal name, it is not necessary, after all, it is a girl. ”
"What the master said, the old man will definitely think carefully. Fu Yanqing had changed his words, but he still didn't dare to take such a big risk.
"Thank you, Duke Wei. "Zongxin gave up a ginseng seed in exchange for Fu Yanqing's trust, and he also saved two lives, but it is not a loss. It's just that I didn't expect ginseng seeds to have such a good effect, so it's right to leave them, otherwise you can eat them all on the same day.
"Quickly take Master Zongxin to the wing room to rest, so that you can serve for a good life, if you neglect to peel your skin. After Fu Yanqing instructed, he carried the child into the delivery room, and the sky was not early, so that the child could not be outside all the time.
................................................
Zhao Kuangyin and Zong Xin and his party came directly to the king valve after separation, and they were surprised to see the king valve for the first time, the king valve was not in Cangzhou City, but at the end of Taihang Mountain west of Cangzhou.
Coming to the king, this is simply a small city, the small city is built on the back of the mountain, the whole city is owned by the king, and you can see an iron shop every few steps. At the foot of the hill you can see two huge fortresses, from which the sound of striking iron is constantly heard.
Zhao Kuangyin hadn't walked a few steps before someone immediately stepped forward to ask.
"Where did you come from?"
"Zhao Valve, Zhao Kuangyin, begged to see Wang Benkun, the owner of the King Valve. ”
"Wait a minute. ”
Hearing that it was Zhao Valve's people, several soldiers had a much better attitude, and immediately took Zhao Kuangyin to the valve, and someone took the first step to report the matter. Because Zhao Valve is famous, and he is a big customer of Wang Valve, of course his attitude should be good.
Halfway through, I saw a team of people out of the fort to greet him, the leader looked to be in his 40s, this person was Wang Huanzhong, the son of the lord, Zhao Kuangyin had met a few times before. He was followed by a young man, who seemed to be about two or three years younger than Zhao Kuangyin, but his heroic spirit was extraordinary.
Zhao Kuangyin immediately dismounted and arched his hand: "Uncle Wang, we have met." ”
"Sure enough, it's Yuen Long, I haven't grown up for a few years, this is a dog. Wang Huanzhong pushed his son forward.
"Second brother Zhao, junior brother Wang Xianqi, two-character Zhongbao, please take care of it in the future. ”
The relationship between Zhao Valve and Wang Valve is not deep, but Zhao Valve also has 100,000 male soldiers, and it is inevitable to come here to talk about some business. The two families know each other and respect each other, but they don't get close.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "It's polite~ Uncle Wang, I don't know where the owner is now, the little nephew brought the best wine to his old man." ”
"Waiting inside, I heard that Zhao Valve's second son is coming, and immediately sent us out to greet us, please inside. ”
A group of people hugged Zhao Kuangyin and walked inside, the huge fortresses on the left and right sides of the king valve were eye-catching, and the main house was built on the mountain, which was magnificent. I have never seen a house like this, as if it is embedded in the mountain wall, surrounded by water on the left and backed by the mountain on the right. If you camp troops here, you are not afraid of a sneak attack.
Entering the gate of the palace, it seemed much quieter inside, but the sound of striking iron on the left and right sides was still endless. The king's people are good blacksmiths, and they like this sound.
At this time, there was an old man sitting in the garden, and Zhao Kuangyin recognized at a glance that this was Wang Benkun, the owner of the royal valve. It's not the first time we've met, I've seen it twice before when I was in Zhao Valve, this old man hasn't aged at all, although his hair is as white as snow, there are almost no wrinkles on his face, and his body is full and has not shrunk or become fat.
Zhao Kuangyin secretly admired, Wang Benkun's skills have improved a lot, and it seems that it should be okay to live past the age of 100.
"The junior Zhao Kuangyin saw the valve owner. ”
Wang Benkun squinted at it, frowned and said: "When you came to see the old man, you only brought a jar of wine?" ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "The valve master will know after a sip, the last jar of superb wine in the world, if Lei Hong smells the aroma of wine, I am afraid that he dares to use the throne of King Kaiyu to exchange this cup." ”
"It's not a small breath, take it out and taste it. Wang Benkun poured the wine in his cup to the side and put the empty cup on the stone table. Zhao Kuangyin opened the altar and poured wine, and poured a glass of amber wine.
Wang Benkun picked up the cup and sniffed it, and his face suddenly changed. The people around him suddenly took out their weapons, thinking that the wine was poisonous and smelled by the valve owner.
"Put all the guys away, and with the old man's skills, even if it is poisonous wine, you can't drink it. This wine ......" Wang Benkun gritted his teeth and said: "Where did you get the wine?" The strong aura scared me, it was really a superb wine, and the old man was reluctant to drink it. ”
Since the valve owner asked, the juniors didn't dare not say it. The origin of this wine is a bit tortuous...... "Zhao Kuangyin added oil and vinegar to the trip to Xinzhou, and finally how to fight the snake king, and found a huge ginseng tree under the snake throne. Even Wang Benkun doubted whether this was true or false, but there was wine to prove that it was at least eighty percent true.
Wang Benkun took the wine glass and drank it all, and then let out a long breath and said: "Good wine, really good wine." But it's a bit exaggerated, Lei Hong didn't dare to exchange the throne of King Kaiyu for this cup, but a jar of words...... That kid really knows how to change, but not necessarily. Taste it, all of you, for this wine is good for your strength. ”
Wang Benkun looked at his children and grandchildren, and Zhao Kuangyin immediately poured wine for them. After a glass of wine, I felt a heat wave in my abdomen rushing straight to the dantian, and my whole body was surging, and the speed of true qi was unprecedented. Although the improvement is not much, it is indeed good for internal strength.
I always thought that Zhao Valve's people were slamming the door, but I didn't expect this Zhao Kuangyin to be quite generous. Although there is not much wine in this jar, it is placed in front of the martial arts master, and it will not be changed.
"Good things, the old man accepted it. Wang Benkun said with a smile: "Zhao Valve's people have always been unprofitable, so they can just open their mouths if they want anything." ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "The younger generation wants to ask the lord for one thing, tomorrow after the spring ploughing, the Khitan will definitely wave the army south, and then the king will not come out, and wait for the Khitan army to break through Cangzhou and continue to go south, and then send troops to recapture Cangzhou City." ”
"Eh~~ What does this mean?" Wang Benkun asked: "The old man knows that you have a close personal relationship with Master Zongxin, but Master Zongxin's plan to eliminate the Khitan was known by Yelu Zhen, the king of Shenwu, and he must tell Yelu Deguang that he believes that Yelu Deguang will not go south easily in recent years." ”
"The valve master didn't know, originally Master Zongxin was only fifty percent sure, but after seeing the Shenwu King, he was completely sure. It is not difficult to say that this matter is not difficult, Master Zongxin deliberately made this matter known to the world, everyone thought that the Khitan would not go south next year, and Yelu Deguang naturally knew about it. Since everyone in the world thinks that Yerod Light will not go south, he must be lax in defense, and Yerod Light's confidence has greatly increased. ”
Zhao Kuangyin's words reminded Wang Benkun that he was right...... Originally, I wanted to transfer some people to work to refine the blade, but now I think about it is too dangerous. Everyone in the world knows that this is a trap of Zongxin, and Yelu Deguang will never jump into the trap, but if he thinks otherwise, Yelu Deguang can kill unexpectedly.
Waiting for the Khitan army to come to the city and then recall the troops, it is too late. The soldiers are fast, Yelu Deguang will immediately attack the city and take Cangzhou first, Cangzhou will break the Khitan army and Pingchuan, attack Germany and Jizhou first, and then take Handan to confront Kaifeng. As long as he rests for a while, Yelu Deguang will be able to take Kaifeng directly, and when the time comes, the Central Plains will be fixed, and the world will be owned by the Khitan.
The key to everything is in Cangzhou, and I believe that the same is true of Fu Yanqing, the Duke of Wei, he would never have imagined that Yelude would send his army south in the bright future, and he would definitely send people to repair bridges and pave roads, and constantly improve his five-shaped formation.
"Good, good, Master Zongxin is worthy of being a high-ranking monk, and he is really resourceful. Wang Benkun admired: "It's just ...... What does it mean for me to shut myself up?"
"Everything is done according to the plan, cut off the back road of the Khitan army, and come to close the door and beat the dogs. Although the Khitan army is domineering, as long as the back road is cut off, the army's morale will be chaotic, and several large armies will be taken together, and then Yelude will die at that time. Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile.
Wang Benkun pondered carefully, and then nodded: "The risk is not small, but it is worth taking this risk." The old man is not a bone-eater, and he likes such bold ideas. If the Khitan can grow wheat, the Central Plains will be broken soon, and its spirit must be reduced before then. Before agreeing, the old man still has a question, in addition to the king, how many people have agreed to this plan?"
"In addition to the Wang Valve, there are naturally Zhao Valve, Song Valve, Guo Wei and Master Zongxin have a very good personal relationship, so they are naturally involved, and His Majesty now also knows about this matter, and there is also Zhang Ying, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu. This time he came to Cangzhou to persuade Tianxiong to make the Duke of Wei Fu Yanqing and the royal lord. ”
Wang Benkun nodded and said: "It's enough, if there are two more envoys from Hezhong and Hexi, it will be nine out of ten." ”
"There is still more than half a year to go, Master Zongxin will definitely be able to persuade the envoy of Hexi Jiedu to fold Jiashi, as for the envoy of Hezhong Jiedu, who was originally Li Shouzhen, but was broken down by Master Zongxin, His Majesty will definitely send a cronie to succeed him. ”
"Well, my lord agreed. Next year, if Yelu Deguang starts an army to march south, the king will not send a single soldier and defend Taihang Mountain, and Yelu Deguang will not dare to fight for a long time. Until the army continues to move south, our royal lord must raise troops to recapture Cangzhou. ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "At that time, there were also Song Valve Zhao Valve and Tianwei Guogong Fu Yanqing attacking the city together to ensure that none of them were missed. The news of Cangzhou's attack will not easily reach Yelude's ears. ”
"As long as Jerod Guang is alone, several armies will surround him, and then he will be dead. As for Cangzhou, it is just to cut off its back road and block its reinforcements. Wang Benkun said: "When the time comes, we and Fu Yanqing will have a few tough battles." After the Khitan learned that Cangzhou was captured, they would definitely be annoyed and angry, and desperately attack Cangzhou. ”
"Oh~~ I see. I said that how could Zongxin let the three major valves add Fu Yanqing to seize Cangzhou, it turned out that the real purpose was not to seize Cangzhou, and to defend it after taking it. ”
Zhao Kuangyin only understood this plan now, and he always felt that it was a bit of a waste for Zong Xin to gather too many troops in Cangzhou, and the three major valves plus Wei Guogong could naturally take Cangzhou lightly. If you want to defend the city, you have to look at Fu Yanqing.
The two chatted happily, but Wang Huanzhong and Wang Xianqi around them were going crazy. I could hardly believe what I had heard, were they really planning how to take Yelu Deguang's life? It was not easy to kill Yelu Deguang, not to mention that he also had Yelu Zhen, the king of Shenwu, by his side.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Lord Valve, Master Zongxin asked the junior to ask for him, how high is the martial arts of Shenwu King Yelu?"
"It's hard to say...... Anyway, today, the only person who can win Yeluzhen is to step towards the sun. Even your grandfather Zhao Jing or the old man can't guarantee that they can win him. Wang Benkun said: "Yelu Zhen Jiuyang Burning Heaven Recipe believes that you have already understood, Step Xiangyang Life is very peculiar, Jiuyang Burning Heaven Recipe has little effect on him, plus martial arts attainments are the first in the world, you can win steadily without losing." As for the others...... It's hard to say. ”
"What if it's two to one?"
"That's no problem, there are still three or two nails in the broken ship, and the internal strength of a few of our old bones is not bad, so there is no problem in running away from him. Although Wang Benkun didn't want to admit it, Yeluzhen's martial arts were indeed extremely high, and he was not very old. The Nine Yang Burning Heaven Technique has an outstanding effect, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close.
Zhao Kuangyin wiped his sweat, fortunately, that Yelu Hong's life is not good, and his name is not good, he is only a third-rate character after practicing this kind of magnificent skill, otherwise he would have been forcibly brought back to Khitan by him a few months ago.
"The younger generation still wants to ask a few more words, who are the people with the highest martial arts today?"
Wang Benkun said: "That's a lot, but the first place in the old man's heart is still the leader of the Martial Arts League, Bu Xiangyang, and then the Shenwu King Yeluzhen, and the third night of the Son of Heaven Lei Hong." In fact, Lei Hong's skills may not be as good as that of the old man and Zhao Jing, but he is slightly better than Song Yan. The most important thing is that all three of them are very young in the eyes of the old man. ”
Indeed, Bu Xiangyang is the youngest and has just reached 40, Lei Hong is slightly older but only in his 40s, and Yeluzhen, the king of Shenwu, is less than 50, and they are indeed young in the face of Zhao Jing and Wang Benkun.
However, the real ranking is still Bu Xiangyang, Ye Luzhen, Zhao Jing, Wang Benkun is difficult to distinguish, and Lei Hong can only rank fourth. There are also Song Yan, Duguhuang, Guo Wei, Fu Yanqing...... There are so many masters in the world that Zhao Kuangyin feels small. Originally, I thought that my skills were not bad, but when I think about it, I am far inferior to these top masters.
"Hahahaha~" Wang Benkun suddenly smiled: "Are you thinking about the world's masters? That's not what you're worried about, what you should be most worried about now is your brother Zhao Kuangji." Zhao Kuangji is a talent, but that's all, you are different. Now that Zhao Kuangyi is young, the only person who can compete with him for the position of lord is you, you have a very good personal relationship with Master Zongxin, and your skills are improving rapidly, Zhao Kuangji will not be invisible. Besides, Master Zongxin's matter of dividing the chicken has spread all over the world, and it is not certain who should be in charge of your Zhao valve in the end. ”
Wang Benkun knows Zhao Valve's people too well, Zhao Kuangyin had a serious illness when he was a child, and it was the time to practice martial arts to lay the foundation, and his martial arts were mediocre when he grew up. And now his skills are not bad, I believe it has a lot to do with Master Zongxin, and he even offered this superb wine with both hands, I believe that this kid has not drunk less......
If Zhao Kuangyin has been ordinary, there is no contradiction between the two brothers. However, Zhao Kuangyin's reputation and personal friendship with Master Zongxin are well known to the world, and Zhao Kuangji will not be weak-minded? Judging from Zhao Kuangyin's current skills, he is not his opponent, but it is difficult to guarantee that Zhao Kuangyin will have a breakthrough in a few years.
"Thank you seniors for your concern, Master Zongxin has already expected this matter. Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "That unserious monk, why do you want everyone to share the chicken?"
"Well shared, well shared~ Hahahaha. Wang Benkun said: "Half of the reason why the old man agreed to this matter is because I heard that Master Zongxin divided the chickens. The old man is willing to give Master Zongxin and you this face, I believe that many people have also got the news, the so-called benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, in the old man's opinion, Master Zongxin and you have his own reasons. ”
Zhao Kuangyin had already felt this matter, although Zongxin's unserious monk messed around all day long, what he said was never wrong. Since Guo Wei will be the emperor, he will also pass the throne to Chai Rong...... and then the surname Zhao won the world, but the surname of the world was Song......
There is also a reason why Zhao Kuangyin is cranky, since he is surnamed Zhao who wins the world, why is Master Zongxin always by his side? Could it be that the person who really wins the world is himself?
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Since this matter has been negotiated, the younger generation still has something to do, so I will leave." Some things have been reminded by the seniors, and the juniors still want to ask Zongxin in person. ”
"You really haven't asked? Okay, go back and ask, and see what Master Zongxin has to say. ”
Zhao Kuangyin said goodbye and immediately left the prince and rushed to Cangzhou. It was just speculation before, but the more I cared after being reminded, I really wanted to go back to Zongxin immediately and ask if the person who won the world in the end was himself.
