Chapter 14: Challenges

Ah Yue is light, not a person who likes to compete with people, on weekdays, the Moonlight clan walks around in the desert, and they also have a good relationship with the government, but now I see that this prince and that general are very difficult Shen Yi, obviously came to save people, but he was treated rudely like a prisoner, and he also had a temper, but he didn't want to greet the prince, so he stood straight in place, still not speaking or moving.

The king of Guanbei has long been unaccustomed to seeing this moonlight clan haunted the desert, and he is proud and proud, and he is overly respected by the locals, and as soon as he smiles, he is about to attack.

Shen Yi saw that his face changed, and that Ah Yue's face was not good, and without waiting for the king of Guanbei to speak, he preemptively said: "Lord Qiqi, my subordinates came this time, and I have something urgent to tell you." ”

King Guanbei's gaze turned away from Ah Yue, looked at Shen Yi, and said, "Oh? Shen Huwei finally figured it out, is he going to hand over the witness of Li Lilong's case to this king? This king has already said that those who know the times ......."

Shen Yi said: "Human evidence is the key to solving the case, Qingtian Mansion will never be handed over to someone who has nothing to do with the case, and please understand." The subordinates came here for another matter. ”

King Guanbei's face was gloomy, he looked at Shen Yi and sneered, and said, "It seems that the people of Qingtian Mansion are very stubborn, and if they don't eat more lessons, I'm afraid they won't be able to grow." ”

Shen Yi ignored his threats and said bluntly: "Lord Wang, there will be a sandstorm in this desert, just in the past two days, please quickly raise troops to enter Qiongta Town to take refuge." ”

The King of Guanbei looked up to the sky and laughed, staring at Shen Yi's eyes as if they were bursting into flames, and said: "Okay, you Shen Yi, you didn't listen to this king's orders, and you actually dared to ask this king to hide from some sandstorm!" He glanced at Ah Yue coldly, and said to Shen Yi again: "Of course, your sandstorm is so powerful that it comes from the evil words of the high priest of the Moonlight Clan?"

Shen Yi did not avoid his gaze and said, "The Moonlight clan has been in this desert for three generations, and they are quite experienced in identifying celestial phenomena, so please consider it carefully." ”

The King of Guanbei shouted: "You know that this Moonlight Clan has been passed down for three generations, do you know how many years this king has been stationed at the border pass?"

"Thirty years. Shen Yi said.

"Thirty-four years, this king has been stationed at the border since he was eighteen years old, and now it is thirty-four years. In the past 30 years, this king has experienced thousands of battles, killed countless enemies, and shed rivers of blood, crisscrossing the desert wasteland, and has never met an opponent, whether it is a brave soldier of the foreign race, or a sandstorm disaster, he has always been the defeated general of this king. You ask General Wen, has the king's iron cavalry ever flinched from the battle, and did he learn from the women and children to avoid some wind and sand?"

Wen Feng's chest straightened, the mustache on his lips turned up, and he shouted loudly: "Back to the prince, our iron cavalry only knows how to kill the enemy and bleed, but we never know how to run away and dodge." He suddenly smiled, then turned his head to Shen Yi and said: "The prince and our iron cavalry are tough guys who are not afraid of death and can endure hardships. Lord Shen is so worried, I am afraid that it is because Lord Shen grew up in the gentle land of the south of the Yangtze River, and he went in and out of the bustling Kyoto Imperial Palace, at most, he followed Lord Yuwen to judge the village women and village Han to fight angrily, and took care of the small fights of chickens and dogs, and rarely saw the wind and sand and blood rain, and now he suddenly heard about a big sandstorm, so he was naturally so frightened that he just wanted to dodge. ”

After Wen Feng finished speaking, he and the king of Guanbei raised their heads and laughed together, very proud.

"You ......" Ah Yue's face turned red with anger, her lips trembled, and she wanted to sneer at each other.

Shen Yi waved his hand at her, signaling her not to speak.

Ah Yue had no choice but to remain silent, looking at Shen Yi, but she was very puzzled, she didn't understand why he was willing to be ridiculed, and he insisted on helping these people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Shen Yi said calmly: "Lord, this matter is by no means child's play, the personal safety of the prince, as well as the safety of the Iron Cavalry, is not just a matter of the prince alone, but about the safety of the border and the country." Please think about it, if the prince has an accident and the defenders of the Guanbei West Road have an accident, won't the Western Xia and Daliao countries, which have been eyeing the great rivers and mountains of our Central Plains, benefit? Won't they take this opportunity to invade our Central Plains? And won't the people of the border passes and the people of the Central Plains experience the suffering of war and displacement? Prince, please do not affect the overall situation of the country with your own joy and anger. ”

Ah Yue listened to Shen Yi's words, looked at him deeply, and thought: "You are saying this to the prince, in fact, you yourself do this, thinking about the overall situation of the country and the people everywhere, regardless of personal honor and disgrace." ”

King Guanbei couldn't laugh anymore, glared at Shen Yi, tilted his head, and said coldly: "What's the matter?

Shen Yi's eyes were bright, his expression was firm, and he said: "My subordinates don't dare, and I ask the prince to focus on the overall situation." ”

King Guanbei snorted heavily and looked at Wen Feng.

Wen Feng understood and said: "Lord Shen's words are really high-sounding, but they are also too understated and empty. I think that soldiers such as us only know how to win by force and convince people, but they will not be clever and tricky. ”

Shen Yi sighed in his heart, but looked at him and smiled, and said, "Then I don't know what General Wen wants?"

"I didn't think about anything, I heard that Lord Shen was born in the rivers and lakes, a Xiaolong sword, invincible opponents all over the world, the young general has also practiced martial arts since childhood, and the tip of the gun has picked the heads of countless enemies, today I want to ask Lord Shen to teach two tricks, so that we can see whether Lord Shen has the real ability to verify the righteousness of the country and the people in addition to a sharp mouth. ”

Shen Yi saw that the king of Guanbei and his subordinates were proud of their achievements and their eyes were not inferior, and he knew that if he could not suppress their arrogance today, he was afraid that the three thousand army would be buried in this desert, so he said angrily: "Since General Wen has this elegant intention, Shen Yi is not talented, so he can only accompany him, and ask General Wen's subordinates to show mercy." ”

Shen Yi said politely, King Guanbei and Wen Feng glanced at each other, they all thought that he was afraid in his heart, and he didn't dare not fight, but he wanted to leave a way out for himself, and he had already shown weakness before he made a move, and he couldn't help but become more and more proud.

King Guanbei stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, they are all cheerful people, so let's go to the sand dunes outside to compete and decide the winner." ”

The officers and men of the battalion had already heard the news of the contest and were very excited. On one side of the contest is a general who has made outstanding achievements in battle and terrified the enemy, and on the other side is a Jiangnan hero with a far-reaching reputation and unparalleled swordsmanship.

The king of Guanbei himself was looking forward to this contest, and naturally understood the mood of his soldiers, so he ordered the iron cavalry to withdraw for an hour to watch the contest. He turned back to Shen Yi and smiled: "Shen Guard, for the sake of this competition, this king is allowed to take a leave of absence, you must use your real skills, otherwise many people will be disappointed." He laughed.

Ah Yue didn't like this Guanbei King and Wen Feng, but she cared more about Shen Yi, and leaned closer and whispered, "Shen ...... Brother Shen, your injury?" she suddenly changed her name, and she had never shown concern for a man so obviously, and when she finished speaking, her face turned crimson with shame.

Her delicate countenance reflected the bright morning sun, and it was incomprehensibly gorgeous.

Shen Yi was touched by her concerned tone, looked at her in particular, smiled slightly, and said, "It's okay, thank you." I'm sorry, I'm going to let you suffer with it. ”

Ah Yue couldn't stand his blazing gaze, hurriedly lowered her head, and muttered, "You...... Be careful. After a while, she quietly looked up at Shen Yi again, and felt that his face was extremely pale, and his right arm was still stiff and inconvenient, and she couldn't help but worry.

Shen Yi himself also felt that his internal strength was vain, the wound was painful, and his right arm trembled uncontrollably with a little force. But once he held the dragon, his whole body seemed to be infused with a powerful force, and his hands no longer trembled at all, as firm as a rock. He walked up to the sand dunes step by step and stood opposite Wen Feng.

Wen Feng held the gun in both hands, and his face was originally full of disdainful smiles, but when he saw that Shen Yi's pale and thin face was covered with a layer of light, his eyes were firm and his pace was steady, he couldn't laugh a little.

Shen Yi's right hand slowly grasped the hilt of the sword, the blade of the sword had not yet been unsheathed, but his person had changed, becoming like a famous sword through the ages, sharp and radiant, making people dare not force their eyes.

Wen Feng's palms broke out in a cold sweat for no reason, and the muscles in his body tightened, but his fighting spirit was very high, knowing that he had encountered the biggest opponent in his life, and he no longer dared to have a trace of contempt and arrogance.

The officers and soldiers who were watching the battle also felt the compelling momentum on Shen Yi's body, and the king of Guanbei sighed lightly, looked at Shen Yi intently, and thought: "This Jiangnan hero is really a Jiangnan hero, and this demeanor alone surpasses ordinary people." ”

Ah Yue had another thought, she was worried in every way, and when she saw Shen Yi so intimidating, she was slightly relieved. She looked at the straight and straight figure on the sand dunes without blinking, but there was a sudden tingling pain in her heart, and there was indescribable sweetness in the pain, and before she knew it, tears had welled up in her eyes, blurring everything. In the haze of tears, the strong figure seemed to be clearer. At that moment, the feelings in her heart were so strong and complicated that she almost couldn't help crying on the ground. She never thought that loving someone would be so painful and at the same time so happy.
