Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Truth of the Year
The battle is over, but the final outcome is still undecided. No one knows if there will be a big war, what does Duan Yanqing think, can he give up the throne?
Pan Dao's eyes looked at Duan Yanqing, took a step back slightly to make way for the venue, and he didn't say a word. Duan Yanqing stepped forward with a cane, his vicious eyes swept towards everyone, the fierce crutches shook and inserted into the ground, and he said hoarsely in ventriloquism, "Duan Zhengming, I lost this time, but it is impossible for me to give up the throne." The glory that belongs to me must be returned, and you dare to fight me. ”
Duan Zhengming looked at his firm confidence, and couldn't help but be deeply admired, he had to fight when he was injured like this, and he had the courage of a disciple of the Duan family, "Why don't you dare, if you want to fight, I will accompany you." He met him with his sword.
Pan Dao's face changed slightly, he was a little worried, but it was obviously him who was too worried, and Duan Yanqing also knew about his situation, stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Duan Zhengming, I won't accept you if you win me now." So let's fight here in three months, and if I lose, I will no longer compete with you for the throne. ”
Duan Zhengchun said anxiously, "Brother Huang, this Yanqing is scheming, don't fall for him." It is better to take this opportunity to send a signal to attract the four major guards to come and kill them all. ”
Duan Zhengming was a little moved, but he hadn't decided yet. Pan Dao made him give up this idea, "Emperor Baoding, you don't have to want to wipe us out, I believe that as long as you are bent on running, your soldiers can't stop it at all, once you tear your face, it will be a national war between Western Xia and Dali." Of course, if you choose to fight a fair battle with Duan Yanqing, then I will guarantee your oath of covenant. ”
Duan Zhengchun retorted disdainfully, "Why are you?"
Pan Dao took out a token from his body, which was the military talisman of the general of the Xixia Yipintang and the second grade, the senior brother of the Xingzhu faction and the right to act as the head of the sect. Don't look at Murong Fu's alias Li Yanzong, who is mixed up in Yipintang, but his level is still lower than Pan Dao, the reason is very simple, when Pan Dao recommends him, he must only be lower than his own level. And his origin is unknown. No matter how great his merits are, it is unlikely that the Western Xia Emperor will let him take charge of one side alone.
Duan Zhengming took the token and looked around, he closed his eyes to stop Duan Zhengchun's words, obviously pondering the pros and cons, and after a while he said, "I agree, but the time and place are up to me." ”
Duan Yanqing raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "You can't trust me?"
Duan Zhengming didn't hide it either, and told the truth. "Yes, I can't trust you. You and I can fight, the time must be May next year, and the location will be Tianlong Temple. If you agree to fight, if you don't agree, I won't embarrass you, but you must stay away from Dali. ”
Pan Dao couldn't believe that this Zhengming was sick, and he actually gave Duan Yanqing such a long time to recuperate, shouldn't he take the opportunity to kill him in advance. Duan Zhengchun's face was anxious. "Brother Huang, you have to think twice. ”
Duan Yanqing narrowed his eyes, he looked at Duan Zhengming and didn't know what to think, "Are you sure you won't fight until next year." It's not like you're waiting for them to heal and help you get through it. The crutches pointed at the fat and skinny duo, apparently not believing it either.
Ning Weijun and Xia Butu frowned at the same time, expressing dissatisfaction. Duan Zhengming explained, "You don't have to think about it. The two envoys will not interfere in the secular world, and why next year is because I will abdicate. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. ”
Duan Yanqing's face was ugly, what do you mean by you abdicating to fight with me next year? "Duan Zhengming, what are you playing with us, you have abdicated, do I still care about you?" His eyes stared at Duan Zhengchun, and his belligerent attitude showed that it was good to fight Duan Zhengchun, it was less risky than fighting Duan Zhengming, and he would win steadily.
Duan Zhengchun's face was also ugly, he couldn't understand why Duan Zhengming would make such a decision, you must know that Emperor Baoding is only in the prime of life now. "Brother Huang, how can this Dali country be without you. ”
Duan Zhengming shook his head and explained, "No, Dali is the same as me and me, the power is basically in the hands of the Gao family, I plan to put you on the throne, and then unite the monks of Tianlong Temple to take risks, except for Gao Shengtai." ”
"Brother Huang, it's too ...... for you to do this" Duan Zhengming stopped Duan Zhengchun's words, "It's not that it's in a hurry, it's that you have to do it." There are some things you still don't know, the situation in Dali is more severe than you think, I can reveal one thing, a few months ago, Gao Shengtai changed his most valued grandson to Gao Yu and sent him to the Great Song Dynasty. Do you understand what that means, he's about to turn around. ”
Duan Zhengchun's blood was completely discolored, and his pale face was full of surprise, "Brother Huang, but if you do this, the Dali Duan clan will have no way out." Do you really have to do it?"
"No, as long as Changchun Valley is still there, the Duan family will not die, and as long as Yu'er is still there, Dali can only be surnamed Duan forever. Duan Zhengming's tone was firm, and he did not hide from everyone present, and directly pointed out the situation in Dali.
The people here are all his cronies, and it is absolutely impossible for them to defect to the Gao family. He is confident in that. But for Ning Weijun and Xia Butu, they are not happy, and they dare to use them as swords and shields. Although he didn't want to be a gunman, there was no way that the old mountain Changchun Valley had an agreement with the ancestor of the Duan clan that he must take care of his descendants, even if only one single seedling was left. But if it weren't for their arrival, presumably Duan Zhengming would not have the idea of abdicating and killing.
Duan Yu was stunned, he stepped forward and said, "Uncle Huang, can't you do anything about it?"
Duan Zhengming nodded dotingly, "No, but Yu'er, you don't have to worry about this, you don't like to learn martial arts, and I don't force you, but if you learn martial arts well, there is hope, and Dali can be controlled by the Duan family." If you really don't want to, then if you really can't do it, you can be a rich man and contribute to the inheritance of my Duan family. ”
Duan Zhengchun's eyes were firm, "Brother Huang, since you insist on this, then I will fight this with you, and if I lose, it is just death." Duan Zhengming shook his head and said, "You don't have to be too pessimistic, at most I will die alone, I don't think Gao Shengtai will dare to call the emperor directly, after all, the people of Dali are all about us." ”
Duan Yanqing is called a hate, daring to love that Dali Kingdom has been corrupted by them to such an extent, "Duan Zhengming, you should die." The good Dali actually made you weak. ”
"Hmph. Duan Zhengchun snorted coldly, and he said sarcastically, "Duan Yanqing, you are not qualified to talk about us at all. You don't even know why you ended up like this, you blindly seek revenge on us and snatch the throne, you have been a son of man in vain, sorry for the ancestors of the Duan family. When the national disaster is at the head, I dare not face the Gao family, and it is even more sad for someone like you to be the emperor in Dali, and you are not worthy of the emperor if you are not filial and benevolent like you. ”
Duan Yanqing's face turned pale, and his face turned blue with anger, "Bastard, Duan Zhengchun, you explain it to me clearly, didn't you rebel and become the emperor to make Dali weak? ”
"Then do you know why Gao Zhisheng and Gao Shengtai's father and son forced Emperor Shangming to abdicate? Your father at least dared to fight with the Gao clan for the sake of the Duan clan's survival, but what about you, you were just an incompetent prince at that time, if it weren't for me and the imperial brother pretending to be the opposite, the Duan clan would have ceased to exist a long time ago. The more Duan Zhengchun talked, the more angry he became, for this matter, he gave up Li Qingluo and married Dao Baifeng, the reason was that he needed the support of the Pengyi clan, which was a tragic political marriage.
Duan Yanqing was speechless, and he shouted, "Impossible, you lied to me." Pan Dao secretly thought, I see, although he has read Tianlong Babu, but novels are not the same as history, from his observation and understanding of history here, he believes that what Duan Zhengchun said is true.
Duan Zhengming waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything in the past, Duan Yanqing, do you dare to fight." ”
Duan Yanqing was confused in the past, silently didn't know how to speak, his eyes looked at the Duan brothers, and then at Duan Yu, his eyes became firm, "Okay, I agree." Duan Zhengchun, I will definitely re-examine what you said, if what you say is true, I will give up the throne regardless of whether I win or lose, on the contrary, I will kill the Gao clan with you, and I will let them exterminate the clan. ”
Duan Yanqing thought that no matter what he thought about the throne in the past, now he would also destroy the Gao clan for the sake of Duan Yu. Duan Zhengming looked at him with surprise in his eyes, "Okay, Duan Yanqing, see you in Tianlong Temple in May next year." ”
Duan Yanqing nodded, his thoughts had already flown away, he needed to go to verify, the best way was to find the old man of the Northern Wuliang Sword Sect. Zhong Tao walked in front of him, wanting to speak and stopping, some things have become demons, and they must be faced.
At this moment, a horse roared in the distance, and an old man approached from afar, and Pan Dao instantly became nervous. (To be continued......)
