Chen Shu was deeply impressed by the Heavenly Demon Skill used by Wang Baobao that day, and he really wanted to learn it again. At that time, I suffered a loss unexpectedly, but now that I am prepared, I should not suffer that kind of loss again.

Everyone walked out of the gate of Jinquan Palace and came to the square outside the palace. Chen Shu was about to step forward, Li Qiushui beckoned, called him over, and said in a low voice: "Just use this opportunity to practice, you are only allowed to use the Folding Plum Hands and Six Yang Palms that Senior Sister taught you." ”

Chen Shu was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and said, "I'm afraid you don't know, this Mongolian's 'Heavenly Demon Skill' is very powerful. ”

Li Qiushui sneered: "How could I not know? No matter how powerful the Heavenly Demon Skill is, it also depends on who uses it. How strong can this hairy boy be?"

Chen Shu said speechlessly: "He's older than me, right?"

Li Qiushui patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Aren't you the same generation as my teacher?"

Chen Shu shook his head, and after thinking about it, he could also try it, but at this moment, Li Qinglu came over quietly, and said with a peculiar expression: "Hey, the fiercest tigress in your family asked someone to send you a message, asking you to delay this duel, the longer the better." ”

Chen Shu was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood that what she said was naturally Huang Rong. This time they also informed Huang Rong when they entered the palace, and he hurriedly turned his head to look around, but he didn't see her person.

He thought about it for a while, suddenly understood, nodded, and explained to Li Qiushui the plan he had made with Huang Rong to delay and wait for help.

Li Qiushui nodded slightly and said, "If that's the case, it's true that you can use this duel to delay time." Otherwise, the Mongols turned their faces so quickly, and the Jin people were very likely to move troops immediately. Hey, that little girl from the Huang family is much smarter than you. ”

Chen Shu groaned: "Then how can I tell this Hülegü so that he can agree to postpone the duel?"

Li Qiushui thought for a while and said, "This is not difficult, just make things bigger." ”

Chen Shu was stunned, Li Qiushui had already gotten up and walked over to Hülegu, and said with a calm face: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, since you want to duel, let's make a bet, do you dare?"

Hülegü said coldly: "What are you betting on?"

Li Qiushui said lightly: "You also said just now, if you are defeated, your country will not take revenge." But there is no basis for words, let's make an agreement. This battle represents your two countries respectively, if the prince wins, my Western Xia will immediately surrender to your country, and forever be a state. If we win, how about your country not to send troops to us for three years?"

Everyone around was shocked when they heard this, and Xu Liegu's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said coldly: "Can you be the master? You are not the emperor of Western Xia, are you?"

Li Qiushui sneered and said, "Since I said this, there will naturally be the emperor's seal will to rely on." Prince, do you dare?"

Hülegü was provoked by her and shouted, "What's ......?"

Batu suddenly raised his hand, restrained the words he rushed out, stared at Li Qiushui and said: "Your Royal Highness the Concubine, my fifth brother is not known for his personal martial arts, but just for a moment, you suddenly put forward such a powerful condition, I'm afraid it's a bit deceitful, right?"

Li Qiushui sneered: "Could it be that my boy is known for his martial arts? Looking at his weak and delicate appearance, the prince still asks him for battle, is this a heroic act?"

Chen Shu's appearance does look a little delicate, he looks like he is just a weak young man, and he does look much weaker compared to the fierce and tall Hülegü.

Batu laughed and mocked: "Why should the concubine bully each other? This Han hero who is a Han hero in the array of ten thousand armies, is it really that we are so ignorant?"

Li Qiushui couldn't help but be stunned, and then secretly wondered, since they knew Chen Shu's identity, why did they challenge him?

His face was impassive, and he said indifferently: "What does the eldest prince mean? ”

Batu slowly turned a few steps with his hand, Huo Ran turned around, and sneered: "Now that your Western Xia Kingdom is already in danger of national exhaustion, trapped in a lonely city by the Jin people, and you dare to oppose my Mongolia?

Suddenly, his voice was violent, and many Western Xia officials next to him suddenly lost their color and were uneasy. Li Qiushui's face did not change, and said with a smile: "Why should the prince bluff? This palace is very timid, and it is not good to be scared out of what three long and two short." There is a saying among the Han people, which is called 'the husband cannot take away his ambition'. This sentence can be used on my Western Xia Kingdom, although we are a small country and in a difficult situation, we still have the power to die and the net is broken, and the jade is burned. Do not bend your knees and beg for mercy from your country. If you are angry, prince, please return to China and send a large army to pacify my Western Xia, and I will not leave you in trouble today. ”

When she said this, everyone looked at each other, never expecting her to be so tough. Chen Shu and Li Qinglu glanced at each other, but they were both confused.

Batu and Li Qiushui looked at each other for a while, suddenly sneered, and said loudly: "We won't bully people too much, since you put forward the conditions for a decisive battle, I also put forward my conditions." First of all, we will choose the candidates for our decisive battle. If your country is defeated, the princess of Yinchuan will be my fifth brother's female slave, and Xingqing will be incorporated into our Mongolian country, and there will be no more Xixia country; if we are defeated, we will not send troops to your country within a year!"

Everyone listened to it and thought to themselves that this condition was too unfair, right? This was obviously deliberately raised to not want to fight this one.

I didn't want Li Qiushui to say without hesitation: "Okay, that's it!"

Suddenly, everyone was shocked, and Batu himself was unexpected, and he was stunned and said: "There is no basis for what you say!"

Li Qiushui waved his hand and said, "Ye Maohua, draft a national deed!"

The ministers were discolored, and Helian Tieshu strode forward and shouted, "Concubine! This matter is so important that it is related to the survival of the country, how can it be decided by you alone?"

Li Qiushui turned his head to look at him and said coldly, "What does General Helian want to say?"

Helian Tieshu looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and shouted loudly: "Of course, major state affairs must be agreed between the emperor and the ministers! No matter how powerful the concubine is, how can she be so chaotic!"

Many of his henchmen among the ministers echoed each other, and the crowd was surging for a while. Batu and Hülegü glanced at each other and watched coldly.

Li Qiushui said indifferently: "What does General Helian mean is to accuse the palace of causing trouble in the government?"

Helian Tieshu raised his head and said, "The minister doesn't dare!" but his expression clearly meant this.

Li Qiushui sneered and shouted: "Now the imperial court is full of rice buckets! The army is defeated like a mountain, the situation is so critical, and the palace has not come out to clean up the mess, isn't this country falling into the hands of your General Helian?"

Helian Tieshu was taken aback when he heard it, he was also forced by Li Qiushui to come out. Otherwise, if he really wants to make that gambling battle established, he will also be empty. At this time, when Li Qiushui said this, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "The concubine said this, the ministers dare not accept it!"

Li Qiushui ignored him, waved his hand, and shouted: "Give me a divine martial guard, surround Yipintang, but if there is a resistance, they will all be killed on the spot! Helian Tieshu intends to rebel, and he will be removed from all his posts and handed over to the Third Division for investigation!"

Helian Tieshu's face turned pale for a while, he took a step back, and said in a lost voice, "You...... You dare!" Li Qiushui was what he had always feared the most, but he didn't expect her to do it like this.

The ministers were stunned, who would have expected that a state banquet would lead to such a big turmoil? Chen Shu suddenly understood in his heart, Li Qiushui must have planned to get rid of Helian Tieshu and remove this big obstacle for himself and Li Qinglu, but he didn't expect him to jump out by himself. Her thunderous means are of course extremely ferocious, and the biggest reliance is undoubtedly the divine guard.

The Shenwu Army of Western Xia, like the Grain God Cavalry of the Jin State, the Blood River Army, and the Golden Banner Army of the Qing State, were all trained by the secret method of military training that Genghis Khan summoned when he went south. In the battle of Xiangyang that year, Western Xia was the forerunner of Zhuhu, and most of the Shenwu army was lost. Some of them were lost in the previous Jinxia War, and the last remaining thousands of people were stationed in Xingqing Capital, which was directly commanded by the royal family and was known as the Shenwu Guard. After the death of the previous emperor of Western Xia, this Shenwu guard was mastered by Li Qiushui, which is why she can be so powerful.

Helian Tieshu looked around in a panic, and when he was about to resist, he saw that more than a dozen armor thieves had rushed forward and pushed him to the ground, and his entourage fled in a hurry. An expressionless middle-aged man stepped forward and said loudly: "Minister Li Yanzhao, I was ordered to investigate Helian Tieshu's crime of rebellion, fortunately I didn't disgrace my life, please concubine Shengxuan!"

Li Qiushui waved his hand and said, "Read!"

Chen Shu looked at it next to him and secretly admired, Jiang was still old and spicy, Li Qiushui didn't know when he laid the net, he and Li Qinglu didn't notice it at all, this kind of method was really worth asking him for.

In a moment, however, the situation was completely under control. That Li Yanzhao read out Helian Tieshu's crimes, all of which are ironclad evidence. The ministers knelt on the ground in panic, and many of Helian Tieshu's henchmen were cleared out and taken down one by one.

Batu was also very impressed, and stepped forward and said, "Concubine, are we still counting the gambling war now?"

Li Qiushui smiled slightly and said, "Of course." The time of the decisive battle will be determined by our side, after a month, how about the Tianbao Peak in the south of Xingqing City?"

Badu nodded, and the two sides didn't say much, Ye Maohua drafted a contract, and Li Qiushui asked people to go back to the palace to bring the national seal to cover it.

After the Mongolian group withdrew, Chen Shu stepped forward and sighed with a complicated expression: "Do you have such confidence in me?"

Li Qiushui glanced back at him and said with a smile: "Don't you kid have any confidence in yourself? ”

Chen Shu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "That's not what I said, the key is that I don't know who Mongolia will send out." In this world, there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, in case there is a mistake, wouldn't it be ......"

Li Qiushui shook his head and said: "Manly man, how can you be so timid? When you were killing Ao in Qingjing, didn't you also have no way out to fight against the water? Besides, Mongolia will send the national teacher at most, King Jinlun, so that the old demon Temujin will personally come to fight with you. ”

She smiled again and said meaningfully: "If Temujin really made his own move, then naturally you wouldn't need to do it, and I don't believe that my master would sit idly by." ”

Chen Shu was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed: "It's just that I feel that such a big matter is too rash to decide." ”

Li Qiushui said lightly: "What is rash? Why do you think that you have to plan and then act on major matters, and you can only decide after thinking for a long time? Making decisions on the spot is the most necessary quality of a superior person, boy, you still have to learn more." Take this battle as an example, it looks like we are at a loss, but in fact we have taken a big advantage. The Jin soldiers were stationed outside, and the Western Xia was in danger of losing the country at any time, so because of this gambling war, it dragged on for a month in vain. ”

Chen Shu nodded, but saw that her face was a little tired, and remembered that she only had half of her strength left, which must have an impact on her body, and hurriedly said, "You go back and rest first." ”

He sighed again: "If you knew this, you really shouldn't have passed on your skills to the two of them at this time." ”

Li Qiushui shook his head and said lightly: "Even if we knew that this was the case, we would still do it." After all, my senior sister and I are already this age, and everything will depend on you young people in the future, understand? If you always want to rely on us old guys, you kid don't have to think about it, take a few girls and run away to live a happy life. ”

The three of them went out of the palace all the way, and Chen Shu admired Li Qiushui's political skills very much, and humbly asked her for advice. Li Qiushui said: "Regarding the matter of Helian Tieshu, I have already arranged it for half a year, and I can take him down at any time, but it is not that it is rising today." However, this is also one of the necessary means for those in power, planning and preparing in advance, and then using tactics to provoke incidents, and suddenly launching, so that others are deterred by this thunderous means, and they are naturally frightened. In fact, I've just lived a little longer, seen more, and learned a little more. It's just that your kid's personality is too upright and not suitable for this industry. ”

Chen Shu smiled: "That's not necessarily, the younger generation is not the kind of pedantic person." ”

Li Qiushui pointed at him and said with a smile: "But you don't need to use conspiracy methods yourself, many people around you can do it for you." For example, the little girl surnamed Ren, and the little girl of the Huang family are also very good. ”

Before Chen Shu could answer, a voice next to him said, "Okay, as an elder, are you talking bad about juniors behind your back?"

With a squeak, a pitch-black car stopped beside several people, and Huang Rong came out, pouting and looking dissatisfied.

Li Qiushui said with a smile: "Look at this girl, isn't she born to do bad things? I don't know how long she has been listening to us secretly." ”

Huang Rong chirped: "How dare I follow you masters! It's just a coincidence!"

Several people got into the car, and Chen Shu saw that the car was given by Feng Asan, and it was sitting flat and stable, very comfortable. The interior has undergone a lot of changes, but it is somewhat similar to the car she was in when she first met Wang Yuyan, but it is much more spacious. He touched it, pulled out a small drawer, and sure enough, he pulled out a few things to eat.

Huang Rong bluffed him and said, "You dare to touch that cat's food, be careful that she scratches your face!"

Li Qinglu was not angry when she heard this, and glared: "Hey, why are you talking bad about my cousin?"

Huang Rong was stunned for a moment, spread her hands and said, "Ah, I forgot that you are her cousin." Hmph, I'm sorry, she's been bullied by me! )
