It's another sleep,
It's another early wake-up,
It's another time to get up from bed,
It's another time to sit at the desk Before,
I wrote "Clouds think of clothes, flowers think of face" again,
I was thinking about the next sentence again.
Tomorrow is the princess’s wedding, and Uncle Zheng feels that he has to change his poem to silently write it.
It is said that when a book is put to use, it becomes less regrettable, and it is indeed true.
Putting down the brush, Uncle Zheng went to fetch water to wash up.
When I went out with the washbasin, I saw the sword maker sitting in the courtyard.
The sword maker sat on the ground, carving a wooden sword in his hand.
Zheng Fan once saw a sword master carving a wooden sword toy for a child. When the sword master was carving, he used Long Yuan. It could be said that he was doing a very childish thing with an extremely solemn attitude.
The sword maker used an ordinary carving knife, and his expression was relaxed and relaxed, but it gave people the impression that he was doing something very solemn with an extremely childish attitude.
Until now, Uncle Zheng is not sure whether the sword maker knows how to fight.
Last night, he also specifically asked the princess about this matter.
The princess’s answer was straightforward, that is, they didn’t know either.
Immediately afterwards, the princess also said that her imperial brother did not know about it, because every time the imperial brother went out with the sword maker, he never weakened the defensive force around him.
So, whether the sword maker can fight is a mystery that even the royal family of Chu State has not been able to figure out.
The sword maker raised his head and noticed Uncle Zheng holding the basin over there, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Su got up very early."
Zheng Fan nodded and said: "When I followed the master, I was used to going to bed early and getting up early."
"Oh? I heard that Master Yao is good at poetry, wine and beautiful scenery, but he can also go to bed early and get up early?< /p>
In the world,
there are two types of people: those who go to bed early and get up early.
One kind of people, those who work from sunrise to sunset, are busy for one bite of food. Busy and never stop;
There is a kind of person who can no longer do anything in his old age and can only rest.
Master Yao does not belong to these two types of people. He has long since left. People who are busy with food, but don’t feel like they can only rest, are the hardest to go to bed early and get up early.”
Zheng Fan responded:
< p>"My master likes to get up early.""Why?"
"My master said that now only the sun that wakes up early can make him realize that one pillar can hold up the sky again. ."
The sword maker smiled and said:
"It's really the style of Master Yao."
When you get old, you can't do it at any time. With my back straightened everywhere, I can only use the power of early morning to reminisce about my youth.
Zheng Fan put down the basin and walked to the sword maker.
The sword maker put his hands by his side and said:
"What do you want to say and what do you want to ask, SuSir, you can speak out. "
"This junior has always been confused. ”
“But it doesn’t matter. "
"There are rumors in the world about whether you can fight or not. "
"Want to ask me the answer? "
"Think. ”
“Want to know the answer? "
"Think. "
"Tell me, if a random person asked a winery in Taohuawu for his wine-making recipe, would he give it to him? ”
“Of course I won’t give it. "
"Yes, then I won't answer it. If I answer it, how can I make a living in the future? "
Uncle Zheng asked again: "But if we force him with swords and soldiers, I feel that the shop owner will still know the current affairs." "
The sword maker pointed at Zheng Fan and said:
"Does Mr. Su have a sword on him? "
Zheng Fan shook his head.
"I will tell him the answer when Mr. Su comes over next time with a knife and puts it on my neck. "
"What are you talking about? "
The regent came out.
"I have seen the king. "Zheng Fan saluted the regent.
"We are talking about Uncle Chen. "
The sword maker replied.
The regent didn't understand for a moment and said: "Who is Uncle Chen?
The sword maker said: "I heard from Mr. Su that Uncle Chen is a servant of Master Yao's family. He is good at making soup. Master Yao is very good at this. He gets up early every day to wait for Chen." Bo. "
"Master Yao's delicious food is very good. In this case, I will try it if I have the opportunity in the future..."
The sword maker immediately interrupted and said: " Alas, this morning, I want to eat noodles. "
"Then go down by yourself. ”
“That’s exactly what I meant. "
Then,
the sword maker looked at Zheng Fan and said, "Mr. Su, let's eat noodles together later. ”
“Thank you sir. "
......
What the sword maker cooks is chopped green onion noodles.
The noodles are fragrant and the soup is fresh. The ingredients are simple, but they are very delicate.
p>
After washing, Zheng Fan sat down. There were four bowls of noodles on the table, three large bowls and one small bowl.
The princess also got up and sat at the table, eating small bowls. .
Three men, three big bowls.
The regent pointed to his bowl and said: "Why do I have so few green onions? "
Among the four bowls, the bowl in front of the regent has the least chopped green onion.
The sword maker said: "You have to go to court, for fear of inhaling the smoke." "
"I will not go to court today. ”
“But we still have to meet people. "
Hearing this, the regent nodded helplessly.
The sword maker stood up, took out a small pot, and using a small spoon, began to add lard to everyone's bowls.
p>
The white lard is mixed with the noodles and the aroma is completely stimulated.
Everyone.I started eating.
This noodle is indeed delicious. In this world, anything that can satisfy Uncle Zheng, a man who never tires of fine food and meticulous food, must be of the highest quality.
The princess’s bowl was small, so she ate the fastest. She put down her chopsticks, looked at the three men at the table who were still eating noodles, and said:
“I’ve liked it since I was a child. I'm afraid it will be difficult to eat Brother Dugu's noodles from now on."
The sword maker said disapprovingly: "It's not difficult, the noodles are not difficult to make, as long as you work hard. If you want to eat it later, ask your consort to eat it for you."
"Pfft..."
Uncle Zheng choked, and he lowered his head immediately. He covered his face and started coughing because a noodle came out of his nostril.
After finally handling it, Uncle Zheng raised his head again and said with some embarrassment:
“It’s delicious, it’s delicious, I ate it too fast, haha.”
p>
…
After breakfast,
Originally,
Uncle Zheng thought this was another ordinary day like yesterday.
Everything is just for the arrangements for the wedding tomorrow.
Uncle Zheng believes that Siniang and Xue San, together with Fan Zhengwen, will come up with a better plan based on Plan A.
This made Mr. Zheng himself look forward to it.
As the leading actor,
he was also looking forward to the premiere.
However, Uncle Zheng was wrong. After breakfast, the Regent got on his horse and asked Zheng Fan:
"Mr. Xiao Su, we want to go hunting. Master Yao had previously The capital governor sent me a poem that impressed me deeply. I wonder if Mr. Xiao Su will be happy to go with me today?"
When a king asks you if you are willing, you actually have no idea. Two options.
“Dare you disobey orders!”
…
According to legend, when Yao Zi Zhan led his team on a hunting trip shortly after he was appointed governor of the three sides of Daqian, various towns and armies , the stronghold, the general Yun Cong, all the personal soldiers came out, it can be said that the limelight was unprecedented.
This is not purely for fun, but a deliberate way to declare the unity of the three sides of the Qian Kingdom to the outside world. Coupled with the song "The Governor's Hunting", it can be said that the effect is maximized. .
But this time,
The regent of Da Chu’s hunting trip made Zheng Fan feel that it was not a routine, but a trap.
Daxia Chen was also called, so four people rode out of the Royal Garden.
Uncle Zheng paid special attention and found that the Royal Forbidden Army did not follow them. The real four people went out.
However, not long after they left the imperial palace, everyone dismounted, and the old groom and carriage they had seen before were parked there.
Everyone got off the horse and got off the car.
Everything was the same as when they came, including the sitting position.
But,
Where can I go hunting in a carriage?
The carriage rocked on the road.
Gradually,
the road disappeared and
began to become bumpy,
the carriage also bumped along with it.
The Prince Regent, who was sitting in the carriage, said, "An extra road should be built here."
The swordmaker, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed, nodded.
Zheng Fan opened the curtains and looked out the window. Outside, there was loneliness, and in front of him, there was a frozen river.
Finally,
the carriage stopped,
the bumps ended.
The old coachman said:
"Your Majesty, we are here."
The regent got off the carriage first, then the swordmaker, then Chen Daxia, and finally, It's Zheng Fan.
After Uncle Zheng came down, he subconsciously stretched and pinched his crotch.
The regent looked at Zheng Fan and said, "Thank you, Mr. Su, the road is really not easy to walk."
Zheng Fan shook his head with a smile and said, "Your Majesty It doesn’t have to be like this. There is no way in the world. If there are more people walking, there will be a way.”
The sword maker took a deep breath. This sentence was obviously love.
The Regent pointed ahead. There was a dilapidated inn beside the frozen river. Next to the inn, there was a small ferry.
"This sentence can also be paired with wine. When I clear the inn, I will catch a fish and have a drink with Mr. Xiao Su."
Confused Uncle Zheng silently stepped back half a step, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Then,
The Prince Regent faced the dilapidated inn,
Opened his mouth and said;
"I'm here."
"Squeak..."
The door of the inn,
Open slowly.
From inside, a man in black robe walked out. The man's face was a bit weathered, but his movements showed a touch of frivolity.
The man sat down on a stone pillar at the door of the inn,
shouted:
"Fourth brother, last time I heard the word 'I' At the time of writing, our father was still alive."
This man is surprisingly the fifth prince of Da Chu, Xiong Tingshan.
Why is the regent still the regent? Why has he defeated and captured most of his brothers and recruited most of the nobles of Chu, but he still has not ascended the throne.
After all, in this world, people who can sit in the position of regent generally do not like this position.
And the reason,
is that he has not caught the fifth prince of Chu in front of him.
Since the time when the Marquis of Chu led a group of people to follow him into Chu, the fighting between the Chu people and the hundreds of tribes in Shanyue has never stopped.
Perhaps, the Shanyue tribe is indeed incomparable with the barbarians, but the tenacity of the Shanyue people is still a headache. Wait until the early stage of Victory MountainAfter the Yue people could no longer compete with the Chu people on the frontal battlefield, they began to hide in the mountains and rivers and depressions, and continued to resist with the help of the environment.
This makes the cost of eradicating them very high, and at the same time, they are also prone to resurgence.
But the Chu people are indeed wise. To be precise, the three princes who were qualified to accept the order of the Great Xia Emperor to open the border for Great Xia and drive away the barbarians, they themselves and their descendants were indeed wise. Well done.
In order to deal with this situation, a generation of Chu emperors broke up the settlement and tribal model of the Shanyue people. They first attracted the Shanyue tribes in a good way, and then changed the organizational models of those tribes, thereby carrying out the superstructure. Penetration to achieve a top-down reform is actually a kind of "reforming from the original and returning to the mainstream" in this world.
At the same time, cultural invasion is also gradually increasing. Chu people’s romance and Chu people’s aesthetics are not really just romance for the sake of romance, but the shaping of a sense of cultural identity.
On the one hand, he continued to carry out military encirclement and suppression, on the other hand, he converted the agrarian people back to their hometowns, and on the other hand, he carried out cultural invasion on the obedient Shanyue tribe, allowing their young patriarchs and nobles to come to the capital of Chu State Ying to learn literacy and live. Various combinations of punches were used to defeat them. , the Shanyue tribe is in decline. A hundred years later, except for some areas that are unstable and there are still a few hard bones that need to be chewed and ground, the Shanyue people in Chu State can no longer make any noise. Even many Shanyue people are now Consider yourself a Chu native.
As for Xiong Tingshan, the fifth prince of the Chu Kingdom, fifteen years ago, when he was still weak, he was assigned by the Emperor of Chu to govern in Wutong County in the northwest of Da Ze.
What Wutong County corresponds to is one of the last few hard bones in Shanyue of Chu State. It can even be said to be the hardest bone.
But Xiong Tingshan is very resourceful and capable. He does not have the airs of a prince. On the one hand, he has a good relationship with the garrison in Wutong County. On the other hand, he also has a good relationship with the chief of the Shanyue tribe there. As brothers, he later married a girl from the Shanyue tribe and regarded him as his head wife.
The hardest bone in Da Chu was softened by him. It would take three days and three nights to finish the details here. In short, Xiong Tingshan spent fifteen years to integrate Wutong County. With many surrounding Shanyue tribes with Wutong County as the dot, he transformed himself into a link, binding them, and made great contributions to the stability of Dachu.
If the Emperor of Chu died normally, the position of the crown prince was clear, and no rebellion broke out, and Chu continued to move forward steadily, perhaps hundreds or even thousands of years later, in Wutong County, there would be There is a statue of Xiong Tingshan, and he is known as an iconic figure of national harmony, much more powerful than Princess Wencheng.
But the problem is,
Because of the sudden death of Emperor Chu,
Da Chu’s carriage finally got out of control.
The regent took the reins of the carriage into his hands again, but if his fifth brother did not nod, the regent did not dare to ascend the throne.
We are all princes,
Who wouldn’t want to sit in that seat?
Why should you sit instead of me?
The Regent really didn’t pay much attention to the rest of the brothers. Some of them were manipulated and supported as puppets by the big nobles behind them, and some of them fancifully thought that just by raising a banner, they would be able to follow suit and deal with them. It's not difficult either.
But this fifth brother, he is different.
Not to mention that the 100,000 Wutong County soldiers obeyed him. If he was willing, he could immediately summon dozens of Shanyue tribes to send their young men to help him fight for the world.
Using this as a starting point may even trigger uprisings among the Shanyue people in many areas within Chu State.
The regent does not doubt that he does not have the strength to quell the rebellion. He has the support of the great nobles, the court, and the royal imperial army. If he cannot win like this, then his throne will also be lost. There is no need to sit down, and I don’t have the nerve to sit down.
But the problem is that once this situation occurs, it will be a huge internal conflict for Dachu itself, which is likely to be protracted.
Today's Da Chu has Yan people in the north who are watching eagerly and sharpening their swords, and in the west there are Gan people working hard to reorganize their troops and rectify their armaments. Can Da Chu still afford it?
“Fourth brother, we brothers, we haven’t seen each other for some years. The last time we met was on my father’s birthday. I brought my daughter-in-law to Yingdu to celebrate my father’s birthday. "
The regent nodded and said: "It's been a long time."
"At that time, my father didn't want to see me because I married a Shanyue woman. It was Fourth Brother who arranged for you to meet my two children. This is why Father finally agreed to meet our family and let us enter the palace.
Fourth Brother. , you don’t know, I have told my daughter-in-law for many years about the beauty of my Da Chu Imperial Palace, and my two children also grew up listening to it. If I could not enter the palace that time, I would How embarrassing it is to be a husband and a father, hahaha." Looking at this scene, Uncle Zheng finally came to his senses and understood the situation.
Co-author, the human regent came this time to "clean up the house."
But why bring yourself?
Xiong Tingshan sighed and continued:
"My mother-in-law was born as a maid. Because my father was drunk, he was lucky and his status was low, so I have always been I was not treated well by my father, who always felt that I had stained the Fire Phoenix bloodline. Therefore, when I first came of age, my father sent me to Wutong County. His original intention was to let me fend for myself. If I was gone, My father could still use his son's death to set an example for the people of Chu.
Fortunately, I didn't die. The poisonous miasma in Wutong County couldn't kill me.
Maybe, this is what the old people often say, it’s easier to make a living if you have a low life.”
The Regent looked at Lao Wu and said:
“I don’t think so. Those guys think of me as brothers, but I always think of you as my brother, as my brother.Brother, you should not look at your mother's family background, but your ability. Now I have arrested those losers and locked them in a water prison. "
"Hahahahaha. ”
Xiong Tingshan clapped his thighs and smiled happily.
The two brothers, separated by a long distance, seemed to be reminiscing about the past, but everyone knew that sex scenes, Behind.
Xiong Tingshan’s laughter gradually subsided. He looked at the regent and said:
“Yingdu is in your hands, fourth brother, and the clan is in your hands, fourth brother. Here, the wizards and magistrates all support you, Fourth Brother, and the great nobles in our Dachu basically all agree with you.
Fourth brother, why haven’t you succeeded? ”
“Because there is still you. "
" Fourth brother, are you speaking so straightforwardly? This makes it difficult for me, my brother, to answer the question. I can’t take a knife and cut my neck in front of you, fourth brother, right? "
The regent shook his head, "If you die like this, your brothers and sisters will be angry, the soldiers of Wutong County will be angry, the Shanyue people there will be angry, and the Yan people will be happy. Finally, I Will also get angry. "
Xiong Tingshan scratched his head and said: "That's right. If you die, your loved ones will hate you and your enemies will be happy. It's not worth it. "
After a pause,
the fifth prince said again:
"Fourth brother, you have so many things to do, even your death has to be changed. It’s really difficult for my younger brother to deal with, but I believe that the fourth brother should have already planned the ending for my younger brother, right?
My fourth brother is the best at calculating. Otherwise, how could the boss, the second, the third, and the others have just started to move, and the seat under this butt was overturned by you, the fourth brother, before it was even hot?
What a pity, our father left too early and too suddenly. You said it would be much easier if the father had arranged everything after his death. "
The regent nodded and said:
"If my father lasts for another half a year, I will be able to arrange his affairs for him. "
"Fourth brother, you should have told me earlier, hahaha, I am also very dissatisfied with my father in our family. The day I heard the news of his death, I was so happy that I drank three jars of it. liquor. "
"Tell me what you want. "The regent said.
"Wutong County is divided into vassals. "
The regent spread his hands and said: "Now, what is the difference between Wutong County and Fan Town? ”
“Clear purpose. "
The regent shook his head,
"Impossible. ”
“That means there’s nothing to talk about, fourth brother? ”
“The emperor of Yan is trying to step on the throne, and I, the great Chu, have to express my intention to establish a vassal. This is too stupid, and I won’t do it. "
"I also know that you won't agree, fourth brother, so let's listen to what my brother thinks? ”
“Yes. ”
“The Royal Imperial Army is not here, is it? "
"There is not a single soldier in a radius of twenty miles. ”
“The fourth brother is really thorough in everything he does. ”
Xiong Tingshan clapped his hands,
In the inn, an old man wearing fish skin walked out. The old man was holding a harpoon and his feet were extremely big.
"Meng Kui, a member of the Shanyue tribe, has met the regent of Dachu."
The old man paid tribute to the regent.
The next moment,
the coachman who drove the carriage came down, stood in front of the Regent, cupped his hands and said:
"Hong Menyang , I have met His Highness the Fifth Prince.”
“Master Hong is driving, my fourth brother is really in a big show.”
Hong Menyang, a third-level boxer, has the skill of Kaishan Quan. , once powerful in the world, was later recruited by the imperial court, entered the palace, and became the prince's martial arts master.
Xiong Tingshan stood up, clasped his fists at Hong Menyang and said:
"Little Wuzi, I have met Master Hong."
Hong Menyang stroked his beard and smiled, but His eyes soon fell on the old man from the Shanyue tribe.
At this moment,
A middle-aged man holding a knife walked out of the inn. The man had a Chinese character face and no hair on his face. He was much cleaner than a monk. .
"Wu Junqing, I have met the regent of Dachu."
Uncle Zheng, who was standing in the distance, looked at Chen Daxia standing next to him and asked:
"A sword practitioner?"
Daxia Chen nodded and said: "There are seven sword sects in the world, and Wu Junqing is the leader of the Broken Sword Sect."
"Sounds like a second grader. ." Uncle Zheng commented, but because he was also a swordsman, Uncle Zheng continued, "How powerful is it?"
"There are all kinds of weapons in the world, but the sword is the most powerful. A powerful sword wielder is not necessarily worse than a swordsman."
"So..." Uncle Zheng looked at the sword maker sitting next to him.
The sword maker was sitting there, picking his ears. When he saw Zheng Fan looking at him, he asked with some confusion:
"Why do you see me, Mr. Su?"
Huh?
Shouldn’t you be the one to go up?
"Buzz!"
A sound broke through the air, and a girl in a floral dress appeared. The girl appeared holding a handful of red flowers in her hand. Then he stood there giggling and eating flowers.
"Who is this?" Zheng Fan asked.
Daxia Chen shook his head, "I don't know you."
"Aren't you a gangster?"
The sword maker said; "I miss Zhuang Qin." Yueyue, sucking flowers, flowers soaked in human blood."
That should be a common topic with A Ming.
Soon,
A man walked out of the inn again. The man was not tall but had a stocky build. He was wearing leather armor and holding two hammers. < /p>
Zheng Fan looked at the sword maker again,
Now,
is it your turn?
Who would have thought that Lin Zi would be there from behind?Inside, a man with a gun walked out. He was a very simple man. There was nothing special about his appearance or temperament.
Xiong Tingshan pointed directly at the man with the gun and said, "Fourth brother, didn't you say there is no soldier nearby? Why is Commander Liang here?"
The man with the gun Hearing this, he cupped his hands and said:
"So that His Highness the Fifth Prince may know that the criminal who was beaten to death in the Dugu family's yamen in the street last month has been deprived of his official position by the king."
"This is Is that okay?" Xiong Tingshan was a little unconvinced.
Liang Yue nodded and said, "Of course."
"Mo Xilai, what do you think?" Xiong Tingshan asked the short man.
Mo Xilai licked his lips and said: "I have heard about the reputation of the Liang family's guns and that they have inherited the position of the Forbidden Army's spearmanship instructor for generations. Your Highness, I will take it!"
Xiong Tingshan nodded and did not intend to pursue the matter. However, he still silently untied his robe, exposed the skin on his chest, and shouted:
"Fourth brother, I also want to get rid of my brother." , I know that the gentleman from the Dugu family has also followed you, ask him to come over to me, hahahaha, the whole world wants to know whether our Da Chu sword maker can fight, and whether he has gained a reputation in vain, Si Brother, you should also want to know. Today, brother, I will tell you the truth."
Zheng Fan looked at the sword maker again,
The sword maker was a little confused. He got angry and said to Zheng Fan: "Are you following the booing?"
"Juniors also want to know."
"Heh."
The regent did not shout anything. The swordsman went out to fight, but took the initiative to step forward, faced his fifth brother, and said:
"Fifth brother, we brothers have not sparred for a long time."
"Brother. , you know, when we were young, Master Hong taught us boxing, every time I competed with my brothers, I didn’t dare to use my full strength, brother, because I was afraid that I would hurt you and make my mother’s life in the palace more difficult.
Brother, you are a temple official. Even if you are of high rank, I was born fighting in the water town of Wutong County."
The regent shook his head and said. :
"It doesn't matter, you don't have to hold back this time."
At this time, the Shanyue old man said: "Your Majesty, the Fifth Highness, four pairs of people, how do you calculate the winner or loser?"
Xiong Tingshan said: "My fourth brother and I don't count. The throne of Dachu does not need a warrior who can only fight."
The old man of the Shanyue tribe heard that He seemed a little dissatisfied, but in the end he nodded and agreed.
Uncle Zheng saw the swordmaker take out two gourds, and after pulling out the stoppers, he found that the contents were not wine, but pulp, that is, juice. He immediately took the initiative to come over and sit on the ground. .
The sword maker rolled his eyes at Zheng Fan angrily and threw a gourd to Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan reached out to catch it and took a sip. He found that the taste was really good. It was different from juice. It was not very sweet or sour. But after taking one sip, he immediately wanted to take a second sip.
"What is this?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Does it taste good?"
"It tastes good."
"It tastes good. Why do you ask so many questions? If you still want to drink it next time , one word for another poem."
"That's it." Uncle Zheng really didn't feel bad about the poems he copied. When he got back, he found the blind man and wrote "Three Hundred Tang Poems" silently. Not a problem.
"But the signature must be mine."
"This..."
The sword maker took a sip of his gourd and whispered: < /p>
"That's how I exchanged it with Yu Huaping, but I didn't use this gourd, I used a sword."
There are rumors in the world that because the sword maker gave Long Yuan the sword forged by himself, The Sword Master wanted to repay the favor by helping him become famous.
Uncle Zheng pointed to the front and said, "Is this a competition?"
"It's so obvious, does Mr. Su still need to ask?"
"No, this junior just thinks that this seems a bit too childish."
"Oh? In Mr. Su's opinion, it took two years for both sides to fight with hundreds of thousands of troops. Is it solemn to win or lose?"
"That's not what I mean, junior."
"That's pretty much what it means. We are all princes of Chu, so why make it so tense. .
Look, that Shanyue old man represents the attitude of the Shanyue people in Wutong County. The Broken Blade Sect is a famous local sect in Wutong County, and what Wu Junqing represents is the attitude of the local people in Wutong County; Mo Xilai was born as a soldier in Wutong County. He represents the attitude of the 100,000 soldiers in Wutong County.
The three major forces in Wutong County are all present. In this game, they can win or lose. If you are convinced, no matter what the outcome is, you can hold your nose and admit it.
Wouldn’t it be much better than hundreds of thousands of troops fighting against each other until the sky is dark and the ground is filled with blood?”
“ Indeed."
"Oh."
...
Hong Menyang clasped his fists and said: "Please!"
Shanyue people The old man nodded, took a half step back, raised the harpoon, and shouted: "Come on!"
Besides,
Qin Yueyue stuffed a few more petals into her mouth and chewed them. While asking: "I heard that the meat on your sword practitioners is smelly, and the blood is also smelly?"
Wu Junqing pulled out the knife and said:
"Girls, you can come and have a try."
Among all weapons, the sword is the most respected, and looking down on swordsmen is an unwritten chain of contempt in the world.
So, when almost every swordsman walks on the road and sees a swordsman passing by him, he will first look at them with disdain and then spit at their back.
Uncle Zheng also used a knife, so he was very unhappy with the one named Qin Yueyue.
The problem is, Qin Yueyue doesn’t use a sword either!
Xinian Village seems to be a martial arts sect, but in fact it is a phoenix nest.A department in which some prisoners with sensitive identities are held and interrogated with torture.
Qin Yueyue likes to eat flower petals soaked in human blood because there is no shortage of blood as a raw material there. It is just like A Ming has been looking forward to fighting, because he will not lack fresh blood during the war. With a source of blood, you can still pick and choose after the battle.
Liang Yue swung his spear, and Mo Xilai raised his hammers. Both of them were from the military, and they didn’t have any bad habits. They just came up and started working.
So,
Next,
Uncle Zheng and the sword maker sat side by side, watching the confrontation between the three pairs of strong men.
Hong Menyang’s fist was hard, and the fist he released could suppress the old man’s fine iron harpoon. From the beginning, he had the upper hand, and the old man could only parry.
On the other side, the weapon used by Qin Yueyue was a wolf-skin whip, which when danced, flew sand and rocks, creating a pattern of its own. Wu Junqing could only keep wandering around the periphery, looking for opportunities.
As for Liang Yue and Mo Xilai, it was a little one-sided. Mo Xilai was beaten so much that he lost a sledgehammer.
Uncle Zheng is also a martial arts practitioner, so he understands why the gap between Liang Yue and Mo Xilai is so big. Maybe there is not much difference in their realms, but Liang Yue is a trainer and spends his days studying The most important thing is marksmanship. Mo Xilai is a general, and what he is good at should be fighting in battle.
Who will challenge you in a civilized duel on the battlefield? People in battle formations are often accustomed to the simplest and most straightforward tactics. If there is a chance, they will defeat the enemy with one strike. If there is no chance, they will quickly distance themselves to prevent others from attacking them.
In general, except for Qin Yueyue, who is still evenly matched, the other two sides have a tilt in victory.
"It's not fair." Chen Daxia said.
He felt that this kind of duel was very unfair. Master Chen was an honest man. He thought so in his heart and actually said it in his mouth.
Zheng Fanze said:
"Even in the battle formation, Wutong County competes with the entire Chu State with one county, and the situation is like this."
When the sword maker heard this, he couldn't help but said: "I'm a little surprised that Mr. Xiao Su has such an opinion."
Zheng Fan smiled.
The sword maker took another sip of the pulp from the gourd and said, "Actually, the situation has been decided. Everyone, it's just a formality."
This is a sentence A lie, a lie told to smooth things over for an outsider like himself, but Uncle Zheng did not expose it.
The fight between Xiong Tingshan and the Prince Regent has not started yet, but the situation of the duel over there has already emerged.
The fifth prince smiled bitterly and said:
"Fourth brother is worthy of being the regent of Great Chu, with so many masters under his command."
"Compared to this, I am the fourth brother. Taking advantage of you."
As the current supreme ruler of Chu State, there are naturally a lot of experts who are willing to work for him. At this point, Xiong Tingshan, who only has Wutong County as his support, is completely Incomparable.
Xiong Tingshan lowered his body and said, "Fourth brother, should we still take action?"
The regent spread his arms and pulled up the cuffs, revealing the fire phoenix mark.
The mark began to glow, and then, a phantom of flame appeared from behind the Regent.
Uncle Zheng’s eyes immediately widened, because this scene gave Uncle Zheng a very familiar feeling. This was also the first time in this world that he saw someone other than himself who could urge people to do something. An existence that uses the soul and body for one's own use.
The magic pill is the soul body, so the regent is actually following the same path as himself.
When Xiong Tingshan saw this scene, he said:
"So, blood is indeed divided into high and low."
Children of the royal family can obtain the blood of fire phoenix. Entering one's body, and then attracting monsters to follow from Daze, this is how Xiong Liqing's green python came. It is already a monster of excellent quality. After all, since Chu Hou opened the border, not only has it been declining They are the people of Shanyue and the monsters in Da Ze.
This is the same as the continued expansion of human activities in later generations, resulting in the continued shrinking of wild animal habitats.
However, what the regent attracted was not a monster, but a... spirit.
It is also the so-called soul of a monster. After the monster's body dies, its soul is immortal. It is a spirit. A monster that can give birth to a spirit is extremely complicated. The spirit appears and does not dissipate. Because of the difficulties, we can see the cherishment of the spirit.
Uncle Zheng was already thinking in his heart, if the regent introduced the spirit into his body, would he be like himself, as if his body had been hollowed out and he could only lie on the bed and stretch out his body?
The Regent shook his head and said: "It's just luck. By the way, today, I brought a disciple of Master Yao here, just to let him be a witness."
"Fourth brother is indeed very well arranged."
Until now, Uncle Zheng understood why the regent wanted to bring him along. Therefore, his current status is just like that of the former leader. The reporter responsible for capturing and writing reports while clearing the snow.
So, all this was arranged?
The sword maker seemed to have guessed what Zheng Fan was thinking, and said directly: "If we really wanted to fight, we would have started it long ago. Among all the princes, those who have raised an army and those who have ascended the throne should do what they should do
Here, the king did not choose to ascend the throne, and over there, His Highness the Fifth Prince did not choose to raise an army. In fact..."
"It is to give both sides a step forward. Next?" Zheng Fan said.
The sword maker nodded and said: "It's a good metaphor."
"Then don't worry." Uncle Zheng said.
"Worried?"
Uncle Zheng affirmed: "As a cadre, I really don't want anything to happen to the regent now."
The current situation is that the Qian-Chu alliance is fighting against the Yan State. If something unexpected happens to the regent of the Chu State, causing the Chu State to fall apart again, that is definitely what the Gan people do not want to see.
Although Zhong Tianlang is having a lot of fun on the border now, that's because none of Yan's two elite cavalry are stationed in Yinlang County.
If Dayan had gathered elite troops from Zhenbei and Jingnan like when they went south to Qianguo to borrow a road, the situation would be completely different. Even if Zhong Tianlang still had the courage, his father Zhong Wendao would not be able to He agreed to let him pay for all the cavalry troops that Da Gan finally saved.
Of course, from Uncle Zheng's point of view, he wished that the regent would die here. He had been expecting it in his heart before, but now he learned that there was still a relationship between the regent and the fifth prince. There is a tacit understanding, but I feel a little disappointed.
But this is natural. They are all big countries in the East. It is impossible for Yan State to have all the scribes and generals, while other countries have only wine bags and rice bags.
"There is still something to worry about." The sword maker said, laying out a row of wooden swords he carved last night and this morning. "The throne is too attractive, and people's thoughts are It is often easy to swing.
The regent is actually gambling for the fate of the country of Chu. In fact, the regent has already won. Even if he mobilizes a large army, he can still pacify Wutong County. "
The reason why I am willing to bet is that I hope that Chu State can avoid this internal conflict.
You know, for the sake of the throne, there are countless examples of brothers and fathers turning against each other. Who dares to be magnanimous, and at the same time, who dares to guarantee that the other party will not change while he is magnanimous?
Daxia Chen said: "So, why are we fighting this?"
Zheng Fan directly replied: "To explain."
In order to give The Shanyue people give an explanation, in order to give an explanation to the soldiers of Wutong County, and to give an explanation to the local forces in Wutong County.
Because many times, it’s not just you who control them, but they push you to the front;
Once you can’t give them a good enough explanation, they will change to another one. People push to the front again.
The fifth prince is actually such a position.
The sword maker looked at Zheng Fan carefully. This disciple of Master Yao really gave people a different feeling. He could actually say such words.
Over there,
the fifth prince has already arrived in front of the regent.
The flame shadow outside the regent's body was suddenly released at this time, A barrier was formed.
Uncle Zheng can clearly feel that the regent’s spirit is much more powerful than his current magic pill. Of course, the magic pill has not been upgraded yet, and the magic pill can still be used in the future. Continuing to upgrade, the development potential of both sides will be completely different.
Xiong Tingshan, however, completely solidified his energy and blood around himself, forcibly broke through the barrier of the Prince Regent, and came to the Prince Regent, raising the knife in his hand.
Uncle Zheng’s eyes began to widen,
He shouted in his heart,
Cut it down,
Cut it down,
Cut it down!
As long as it is cut down, I can go back to Xue Customs to pack my things and prepare to enter Chu with Marquis Jingnan.
Xiong Tingshan’s knife was indeed cut down, but after the outer barrier was broken through, it was suddenly recovered and hit him directly.
"Poof!"
The tip of the knife pierced the regent's chest, but before Xiong Tingshan could use his strength to completely immerse the knife edge, the flames that had formed the barrier had already It transformed into a series of tyrannical horse trainers and grabbed his whole body.
The knife fell down after leaving the person, and Xiong Tingshan was lifted high, as if completely restrained by a spider web.
Red blood seeped out of the Regent's chest, but he still stood upright.
Zheng Fan pursed his lips, this was really a critical moment;
But Uncle Zheng thought of another possibility, that is, even this move, this scene , all designed and arranged by the two brothers.
The regent deliberately let Xiong Tingshan penetrate his first barrier, and deliberately gave him the opportunity to send the knife to his chest, in order to pave the way for the next step.
As a veteran player of routines, if Uncle Zheng puts himself into it, he has actually guessed how things will develop next.
Just like before, Uncle Zheng gave the answer directly to Master Chen without hesitation.
Some sinister methods are actually a kind of instinct. The regent is like this, and so is Uncle Zheng.
Xiong Tingshan was detained in the air. The regent clenched his fists and raised his arms. As long as his fingers were released, Xiong Tingshan would be "divided into five horses" by the power of the spirit.
This scene caused the battles in the other three locations to come to a halt.
Hong Menyang immediately withdrew his fist. The old man from the Shanyue tribe, who had been beaten to the point where he could only parry, held up the harpoon and did not dare to make another move.
Qin Yueyue put away the whip, and Wu Junqing also put away the knife. They fought evenly, but Wu Qingjun had strong stamina, and it was time for him to counterattack after he figured out Qin Yueyue's whipping routine. But Wu Junqing still chose to put away his sword, because for him, if the fifth prince died, the Broken Blade Sect and the local families in Wutong County would lose the motivation to continue to fight.
After all, they can't completely mix up with the Shanyue people and cause trouble together.
Liang Yue put away his gun.
Mo Xilai sat down on the ground. He had several wounds on his body and kept breathing.
Next, everyone’s eyes fell on the Regent and Xiong Tingshan.
The Regent exudes an extremely powerful aura, and coupled with his identity, it makes people feel even more awe-inspiring.
But Uncle Zheng, as a person who has experienced it himself, naturally knows that the regent is strong, but he is definitely not strong to this point. He should not be third-grade, but maybe fourth-grade or even fifth-grade.
But the bonus effect of the spirit is too obvious. It is equivalent to a secret method to force the border to cross the border. Uncle ZhengWhen I used magic pills before, I often experienced a similar feeling. At the same time, because the spirit is a soul body, it can have a better bonus effect on the aura and momentum.
The same wind force, blowing in summer and blowing in winter, gives people completely different feelings, but the wind force is actually the same.
Seeing this, Uncle Zheng was certain that this was a carefully designed political show. The only key point was the knife sent by Xiong Tingshan.
The Regent did not let go of his fingers, but slowly dropped his arm. Xiong Tingshan fell to the ground, dripping with sweat. He looked at the Regent,
Kneeling down slowly,
said:
"Fourth brother, brother, I am convinced."
The regent's majestic eyes swept towards the old man of Shanyue tribe, Said:
"Everything among the Shanyue tribes in Wutong County remains as usual. The imperial court will not interfere with your fiefdom matters."
The old Shanyue tribe put down the harpoon and asked the regent. Kneel down and salute to express submission.
The regent glanced at Wu Junqing and said: "The clans in Wutong County have all been upgraded to one level of titles."
Wu Junqing stuck his knife on the ground,
Yes The regent knelt down and said:
"Thank you Lord for your kindness."
Finally,
the regent set his sights on Mo Xilai,
"Wutong County soldiers, select 50,000 to join the imperial army of Chu."
Mo Xilai quickly pressed his forehead to the ground,
"Long live my emperor!"
p>
The three people represent the three forces.
After being comforted, the regent stretched out his hand and put it on Xiong Tingshan’s shoulder. Without shying away from outsiders, he said directly:
“I heard that my sister-in-law is crazy about wanting to be the queen? "
"Hahaha." Xiong Tingshan laughed and said, "Isn't that right? In the early years, my brother and I were just demoted to Wutong County by my father. If I hadn't met her, I might have died many years ago. I owe her what she wants, and as a husband, I should help her get it."
"Lin'er's concubine has not yet been chosen, and her younger siblings will be in her clan. Please choose a woman to come up."
Lin'er is the eldest son of the regent. He is the heir apparent now and will most likely be the crown prince in the future.
You must know that when Xiong Tingshan returned to Yingdu because he married a Shanyue woman, the late emperor did not even want to see him. This shows how much trouble the regent's decision will cause.
It is very likely that from now on, the blood of Shanyue people will flow in the subsequent emperors of the Chu Kingdom.
"Fourth brother, I am impressed by your courage. I believe in her and have nothing to say."
"Only when everything is prosperous can a family be harmonious. You have guarded Wutong County." For fifteen years, I have thanked you on behalf of the court, but now you have to come back to Yingdu to help me deal with Tian Wujing."
"Fourth brother, as long as you dare to use me, I will. Effective! ”
"Mr. Xiao Su!"
"Foreign Minister, here."
Uncle Zheng immediately stood up and responded.
"What you saw today, can you write an article about it."
"Foreign ministers are fortunate to be able to witness this scene. Brothers and sisters serve the country and the people respectfully. Your Majesty. Your Highness, He Wu, is truly a hero in this world."
Xiong Tingshan glanced at Zheng Fan and said with a smile:
"After all, he is a scholar and can speak."
The Regent waved his hand and said: "Master Hong, send Mr. Su back to Bieyuan. I want to stay with my fifth brother for a while and catch up on old times."
That's it,
Uncle Zheng cannot see how things will develop next.
He and Chen Daxia got into the carriage together, and Hong Menyang drove them back to Bieyuan.
The sword maker didn’t follow back either.
Zheng Fan knew clearly that the regent wanted him and Chen Daxia to come here because he wanted to let Yao Zizhan know about the situation in Chu through his mouth, and also to let the officials of Qianguo know about the situation in Chu.
This is Chu State telling its allies that the civil strife in Chu has completely subsided. Next, the two states of Qian and Chu can work together to deal with Yan State.
However
The regent had calculated everything, but he could not figure out that Mr. Su Mingzhe, whom he thought was actually a fake.
Because Uncle Zheng had no intention of pretending to be this person from the beginning, there was no way to plan. Everything originated from Chen Daxia’s crime;
No matter how scheming the regent was, he could not A silly change of intentions?
Furthermore, that song "Man Jiang Hong" is enough to prove one's "identity" and talent. It is the strongest and most solid passport in the world, and whether it is the regent or the sword maker, they have many talents. Although they had profound cultural attainments, they did not know that Uncle Zheng could recite poems;
In their eyes, only Yao Zizhan's disciples could write poems of this level.
So, it can actually be said that Uncle Zheng, the impostor, not only did not reveal his secrets in playing the role of Mr. Su Mingzhe, but he also did a better job than the real person himself.
At the same time, leaving aside what the regent wanted "Su Mingzhe" to see, Uncle Zheng himself saw what he wanted. One thing that made Uncle Zheng even more excited about tomorrow's "big wedding" One thing to look forward to.
That is, Uncle Zheng, who is often possessed by magic pills, knows that the regent has another reason for sending him and Daxia Chen away, and that is that the regent should soon face the strong pressure from behind Lingshang. There are sequelae.
The chest injury is actually a minor problem. The key is that his whole body will be seriously overdrawn later. That spirit is much stronger than the current magic pill, and the side effects will definitely be stronger!
So,
The regent will not appear at the princess’s wedding banquet tomorrow. For one thing, he may not be able to wake up by then and will continue to be in a coma. Even if Even when you wake up, you will feel extremely depressed. As a king,He will not show his weak side in front of his courtiers; secondly, the masters around the regent should not appear at the wedding banquet tomorrow, because they have to personally protect the weak monarch.
This means that
The degree of difficulty of robbing a bride tomorrow has suddenly dropped too much.
Immediately afterwards,
another good news came,
the carriage stopped,
because it encountered a group of Fan Mansion A motorcade transporting red candles for tomorrow's wedding banquet.
Hong Menyang was a little hesitant,
but Zheng Fan immediately said considerately: "Master Hong, Daxia Chen and I can just follow this convoy back to Bieyuan. You should go back and wait." Your Majesty, you can’t let your Majesty miss the auspicious occasion of the princess’ wedding. Anyway, we are not far from Bieyuan.”
When Hong Menyang heard this, he immediately said: “Then I feel wronged. Mr. Su and Chen Daxia."
"Whatever it is, whatever it is."
Of course Hong Menyang will not tell Zheng Fan that the regent will not come to attend the wedding tomorrow. ;
After watching Zheng Fan and Chen Daxia get into the Fan Mansion’s motorcade, Hong Menyang immediately drove back;
He wanted to protect the regent and the Da Chu royal family closely. The Forbidden Army is not around now, and they are the real barrier to protect the safety of the regent.
Uncle Zheng followed the convoy and went directly into the Villa.
After entering the Villa, Zheng Fan did not get out of the car in a hurry and left, and Daxia Chen followed suit.
After a while,
Xue San, Siniang and A Ming all entered the carriage.
The princess will be robbed tomorrow, and the three demon kings have already sneaked in. However, Siniang and Xue San are just doing things, while A Ming is really "hanging out."
Daxia Chen was sitting next to him. Zheng Fan and the Demon Kings did not shy away from this gangster. They were plotting in front of him, because Daxia Chen's character was so stable.
Zheng Fan talked about today’s events very quickly,
Finally,
the key points are:
The Regent estimates We have to wait until tomorrow. He and the Ouchi experts around him should not show up at tomorrow's wedding banquet.
Uncle Zheng even felt that the regent's visit to the princess was probably just a drop-in, because this place is about the same distance from Yingdu and Wutong County, so it should be a negotiation location acceptable to both parties.
As a king, it is unlikely that he would leave the court and go here just for the so-called personal feelings.
What's more, Marquis Jingnan is still exerting pressure at Zhennanguan.
In fact, the princess also expressed this intention last night. She did not think that her brother, in order to attend her wedding and send her sister off to get married, could stay here for so many days.
Siniang and Xue San immediately began to think, because the original plan actually presupposed the presence of the regent, and Ouchi beside the regent.Experts are also present.
The difficulty has been reduced, but the plan has to be revised accordingly.
At this time, Siniang suddenly said: "My lord, I have thought of a good idea."
"Say."
Sixiang's eyes were on Everyone present looked around and said: "My lord, only you know that the regent will definitely not appear at the wedding banquet tomorrow, but the Qu family doesn't know, nor do those who came to the wedding banquet, or even others. The royal guards outside the garden didn't know either.
They only knew that the regent Bailong Yufu came to attend the princess's wedding banquet.
So...
So tomorrow the slave family can disguise A Ming into the appearance of the regent, and let the Lord directly hold the 'regent' hostage as a blackmail. With this guarantee and prerequisite, it will be much easier to kidnap the princess. Our The degree of freedom will be higher, and the effect will be better.
But the master has to give the slave a portrait of the regent’s face, because the slave has never seen the regent.” /p>
Painting is Uncle Zheng’s job, so there is no problem at all.
In the carriage, everyone else’s eyes lit up after hearing this proposal.
Yes,
The only ones who know that the regent will not show up tomorrow are themselves.
Even Chen Daxia, who was sitting nearby and watching, couldn't help but praise:
"Wonderful!"
However,
A Ming raised his hand,
asked:
"Why should you choose me to disguise yourself as the regent? You can choose someone else, right?"
Six Niang immediately replied: "No, it has to be you. Think about it, when the time comes, the Lord will hold the princess's hand and hold you hostage at the same time, you will be very close to the Lord, and you can also help the Lord to block hidden weapons. , What if Chu people take risks?"
A Ming opened his mouth. He felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, but he couldn't refute it.
Xue San said: "One more thing is that when the Lord holds you hostage, if the Chu people don't retreat and we scare them, the Lord can do this."
Saying that, Xue San pulled out a dagger and waved it:
"Do you want to retreat or not?"
By then, the Lord will be able to use the knife directly. The arrow was directed towards the hostage, scaring the Chu people to death, and there was no need to worry about the hostage being killed.
Anyway, A Ming wouldn't die even if he opened a few holes in his body. Can you find a hostage that is better and more practical than this one?
Hehe. ”
“…” A Ming.
As he spoke, Xue San took the initiative to hand the dagger to Zheng Fan and said, "My lord, why don't you stab A Ming a few times to practice your skills first?"
Ah Ming pointed his finger at Xue San.
Xue San immediately scratched his neck and said: "What, what? I'm just rehearsing for the effect of tomorrow's performance!"
The truth in my heart is,
Ge Laozi,
I have been busy since I entered Chu,
As a result, you have been messing around The mixed drinker actually upgraded before me!
Is there any justice?
Uncle Zheng still hasn’t really rehearsed a few cuts with A Ming at this time.
After all, even if A Ming is injured and will not die, it will consume a lot of energy when recovering from the injury. Vampires are not immortal. As long as the brain is not damaged, advanced vampires just have a thicker blood tank than ordinary people.
Uncle Zheng cleared his throat,
as a final mobilization, he said:
“We have the right time, right place and right people.
Tomorrow,
Let’s try to make the wedding a success for him...
It’s a beautiful wedding!”
