"Your Majesty, don't worry, the villain can use his martial arts freely and will never hurt the princess!"
Zhou Tong made a sure decision and retreated.
Not long after returning to the martial arts arena, the green-maned horse roared under his crotch. He held a square halberd in his hand, but he was not wearing armor. He tied his leather wrists with sleeves and trousers into boots. He was dressed in white. He tied his hair with a golden crown with four pheasant feathers on it. Two colors and two whites, fluttering, so impressive!
In the crowd, Wu Shu was very happy when he saw that he actually fought.
With such handsome officials, one cannot help but ask: Why did Princess Wanyan Wulu suddenly appear and challenge Zhou Tong by name?
It turned out that Wu Lu had angered Aguda before in the palace, and Zhou Tong stepped forward. After some nonsense, the whole hall laughed, but Wu Lu's face turned red, obviously she was very impressed by Zhou Tong's righteous deed.
No one else noticed the look on her daughter's face. Only Wushu, the fourth brother beside her, noticed it, and his heart suddenly shivered: Oh, my girl, I have been pampered since I was a child, how could I know that human nature is sinister? Seeing that the man named Zhou is an eloquent person and his appearance is good, don't let my sister fall into his trap.
This Wushu, whose Chinese name is Wanyan Zongbi, is only eighteen years old now, but the gap in his chest is not shallow.
Since he was a boy, he has watched his father and brothers fight in the north and south and establish great martial arts. He has long had the ambition to strengthen his father and defeat his ancestors. Therefore, he works hard every day, studies military books, and loves to consult with learned scholars. Ask about the affairs of the world.
He knew that his father, Aguda, was now in his early fifties and his lifelong wish was to annex Daliao. He often thought to himself: When my father destroys Daliao, how can future generations surpass him with such achievements? After much thought, I came up with an answer: Whatever! Besides the Liao Kingdom, there are still the Song Dynasty and Xixia Dynasty in the world. If I wipe out all these countries, I will naturally be better than my father.
Because he had such thoughts long ago, he couldn't bear to see any feelings developing between the Song Dynasty and his sister.
So when I was in the palace, I saw the girl's cheeks burning and her eyes flashing with brilliance. I was frightened by her arrogance, so I immediately pulled the girl aside and whispered something.
"Sister, I accused the Song Dynasty Jiedushi of killing your fiancée, but my father and the others didn't believe it. They just said that the war was dangerous and dangerous. How could it be completely reasonable? But how could they know that my brother had read more than two years ago? The history books of the Han people have seen many conspiracies. I, the Jurchen, are loyal by nature, how could I have expected their vicious intentions? Moreover, Zhou Tong’s actions just now made me more and more convinced that the death of my disciple Shan Ding must be caused by Song Dynasty. Designed by man!”
Wu Lu didn't pay much attention at first, but when she heard Zhou Tong's name, she couldn't help being surprised: "Zhou Tong? Although he is a little reckless, he doesn't seem to be a bad person."
Wu Shu shook his head repeatedly: "Look, you have stepped into the trap of the Song Dynasty, and you don't know it yet. This is where their tricks are so clever. That Zhou Tong stood up at that time, it seemed like a risk, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, your father's original desire Form an alliance with the Southern Dynasty. After all, the Song Dynasty is a big country. Once we form an alliance, it means that our country, the Jin Dynasty, is also a legitimate country. No one can treat the Liao Dynasty as a rebel. This is the big plan in the father's heart. How can it be compromised by trivial matters? Punishing the Song envoy? That guy is just taking risks to win your favor."
When Wu Lu heard this, she didn't believe it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that Yang Pu always kept saying "If your name is right, your words will be compliant, and if your words are compliant, your achievements will come true". Didn't she suggest that her father send envoys to the Song Dynasty and Xixia to gain their recognition?
With such a motive, how could Aguda kill the Song envoy lightly?
Therefore, in order to prevent her from being punished, Zhou Tong stood up and blocked her, seemingly "taking risks". In fact, there was really no danger, and at most he would just be repelled.
Thinking of this, her face gradually turned pale, and she quickly said: "But if he doesn't like me, why is he trying to win my favor like this?"
The Jurchen daughter has a straightforward temperament and does not follow ethical rules. She has no idea what a scandal it is to be liked by others, so she expresses her doubts openly and conveniently.
Wu Shu said coldly: "Humph, we, the Jin Dynasty, had only founded the country a few years ago. We defeated the Khitan so much that we didn't dare to look north. The Song Dynasty's military force was still inferior to the Khitan's. Wouldn't it be afraid that we would go south after destroying the Liao Dynasty? I'd like to know. I realize that you are the apple of my father’s eye, so I want to deceive you away. If we go against the Song Dynasty in the future, we will inevitably throw ourselves into a trap."
Wu Lu was shocked: "This, this is just your own conjecture."
Wu Shu sighed: "My silly sister, I was born to two of you and one mother, how can I harm you? From what I have seen, when those guys in the Loushi army learned that Brother Ding was your fiancée, they This plan has probably been decided. Just think, if someone among the Song envoys can be your husband, it will be a great help for them to form an alliance with our country for now, and in the long run, it will also save our country from a large-scale southern expedition, isn't it? To make a million profits in one fell swoop? Uncle Lou is so heroic, how can he understand the heart of a villain? He actually let Wu Zhi lead the army, and he took the opportunity to kill Brother Ding, and then selected someone to deliberately win your favor."
Wu Lu's face became increasingly ugly and she bit her lip without saying a word.
Wu Shu saw that he had already believed most of them, and felt proud in his heart. He said again: "Sister, think about it again. Since Emperor Song is going to our country as an envoy, he will naturally choose those who are capable and mature. How can Zhou Tong be so reckless with Meng Lang?" Can you be a messenger? I guess he is just pretending to do this to impress you. Besides, although you are beautiful, is it possible that there are no beautiful women in the Song Dynasty? So that when he first sees you, he is willing to die for you? "
Wu Lu nodded at first, but when she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but stare at her fourth brother angrily: "That's not necessarily a refusal."
Wu Shu slapped the back of his head and said with a wry smile: "That's all, I didn't say the last sentence of treating it as a brother. In short, sister, everything in this matter is a conspiracy. If the fourth brother didn't know the cunningness of the Han people, I might even be fooled."
Wu Shu's words were logical and logical. The more Wu Lu listened, the more convinced she became, and she stamped her foot angrily: "You actually use such despicable means to bully me. Song people are really abominable!"
Wu Shu was overjoyed and thought that his sister would definitely not be tempted by Zhou Tong.
He didn't expect his sister to be so strong-willed. Seeing Daijin lose two battles, his father Emperor Aguma was so angry that he actually put on armor and went into battle himself, deliberately killing the disciple who dared to make his own plans in front of Daijin's monarchs and ministers!
Seeing the girl's stern and domineering look, Wu Shu was a little worried at first, but after thinking about it, he became happy again:
Even if the people of Song Dynasty had a hundred courages, they would not dare to hurt the princess in the imperial court! But my sister has no such scruples. That Zhou Tong asked someone to fight Nianhan on his behalf, which shows that his skills are not that good. If he doesn't show up, the girl will naturally look down on him more and more. If he really shows up, haha, do you really think that the eyebrow-tip knife in Wu Lu's hand is just a decoration? ?
Besides, the two of them had practiced martial arts together, and they knew Wu Lu's abilities best. If this girl hadn't been born as a girl, she would have added a new name to the Dajin Heroes list.
At this time, the day was getting dusk, and two horses faced each other in the field. Wanyan Wulu's little face was frosty, and Zhou Tong, the arrogant man, was smiling. Just as he was about to boast a few more words, Wanyan Wulu shouted crisply, "Drive!" Manboot kicked the horse's belly, and the five-flowered horse jumped up like an arrow. Zhou Tong suppressed his restlessness and hit the horse to meet him. For a moment, the two horses crossed each other. Wu Lujiao shouted: "Kill!" The eyebrow-tip knife was stabbed towards him. .
The speed of this sword was quite fast. Zhou Tong secretly shuddered. He put away his contempt and waved his halberd to block it. When he saw the two weapons colliding, Wu Lu suddenly retracted his sword and stabbed again immediately.
Don't look at it. Her stabbing back seems simple, but it just misses the opponent's weapon. If her kung fu is slightly inferior, this block will miss, and the move will be old. How can she prevent her subsequent stabbing?
Fortunately, Zhou Tong has been following Shi Wengong for the past year. Shi Wengong thanked him for giving him the sword and taught him all his skills. If Zhou Tong wanted to be lazy, he would come up with his fists and toes. In this way, his strength could not be called first-rate. It is not comparable to the Little Overlord of Peach Blossom Mountain in the past.
When the next "lion shakes his head" is made, he turns sideways to avoid the stab, then shakes again and three times to avoid all the subsequent strokes and picks after Wu Lu stabs the air.
At this time, the two horses were staggered. Zhou Tong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shouted that he was lucky. Although he did not underestimate the opponent, he did not expect that the woman's tricks were so clever and exquisite.
Everyone on Cao Cao's side also let out a long sigh of relief. It turned out that what they had just seen was so thrilling that they all held their breath and did not let it out.
Lin Chong glared, glared angrily at Monk Pu Feng, and cursed in a low voice: "This woman is a master of martial arts with a sword inside a gun! Unexpectedly, Brother Wang actually passed on my Central Plains secret knowledge to a foreign race."
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "That's all, if you treat your ministers as nothing but enemies, then your ministers will regard you as an enemy! I have also heard the story of this man from Senior Brother Lu and Shi Dalang. When he was forced to leave Beijing, his first thought was to go to the frontier. The thought of killing Han men and relying on martial arts to live and work is enough to be worthy of the Emperor of Song Dynasty. What happened after that is unspeakable. If you drive a dog into a back alley, the dog will bite you, let alone a hero with superb martial arts? It's not that this person is treason, it's the family and the country. Don’t let him come first.”
Lin Chong smiled bitterly and sighed: "He and I share the same destiny. Don't I know his sorrow? I don't blame him for being a Jinguo, I just blame him for leaking the skills passed down by his ancestors, and the court can't help him." , our ancestors have never been sorry to us."
Sun Li suddenly said: "Brother Wu, you said that this person also has difficulties. If we meet on the battlefield one day, should we leave him a way to survive?"
Cao Cao shook his head: "That's not necessary. He chose to be a member of the Jin Kingdom for his own reasons. But if we fight in the future, it will be a national war. We only look at positions, not good and evil. The greater his ability, the more we will kill him. he."
The brothers listened and nodded silently.
At this time in the field, Zhou Tong and Wu Lu had already fought to their twenties. Zhou Tong saw that Wu Lu was extraordinary in martial arts and refused to be eclipsed in front of her opponent. She put all her skills to use. The halberd was flying up and down, which looked a bit like Shi Wengong. shadow.
Shi Wengong shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, he usually complains a lot about practicing martial arts, but unexpectedly he has reached this level. It seems that if we push him harder, he can figure out how to become a fierce general."
Shi Qian suddenly said: "Brother, don't blame me for being talkative and gossiping behind people's backs. If Brother Zhou Tong's behavior is not punished, he may cause big trouble in the future."
Cao Cao sighed, was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "If there are no rules, there will be no rules. Don't I know the truth? However, brothers share the same loyalty and are destined to do great things together. I have always been unwilling to use the method of managing the army to restrain them. Brothers, you are afraid of hurting our feelings. Now it seems that there are pros and cons. The pros are that the brothers are harmonious. The cons are that they inevitably make their own decisions. The ideas may be good, but they are not beneficial to the overall situation. "
All the brothers were silent. At this time, Hua Rong hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother, I think there are pros and cons, but in terms of 'this moment, that moment', in the past, there were only a few of us, so we hung out together. In the Jianghu, depending on the brothers' abilities, as long as they don't make any big mistakes, it won't matter much. However, now that we are outnumbered and powerful, everything my brother can do is a major cause that affects the overall situation of the world. That’s wrong, so at this time, it’s time for my brother to restrain everyone with rules and regulations to prevent this kind of thing from happening again.”
Cao Cao suddenly woke up and said in shock: "Ah, as my brothers said, they are like gold and jade. I have spent the past few years happily getting together with my brothers, but I have been so greedy for the warmth of affection that I have blinded my eyesight. I think at the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei once separated his kingdom. In Hanzhong of Jingshu, there were powerful soldiers and they had hopes of winning the championship. However, his second brother, Yun Changgong, forgot Zhuge Liang's earnest instructions and carelessly lost Jingzhou. His adopted son Liu Feng ignored the overall situation and completely ruined Liu Bei's grand plan. .”
Speaking of this, he consciously broke out in cold sweat on his back. He shook his head and sighed: "There are many reasons for the loss of Jingzhou. However, Guan Yu was Liu Bei's sworn brother, so he dared to make his own decisions. He grudged Soochow before and failed to employ people after him. This was the source of the disaster. That's where it is. Furthermore, there is Shangyong Liu Feng, who thinks he is Liu Bei's adopted son, so he dares to ignore the overall situation and sit back and watch the success or failure, so that the situation completely collapses and is beyond control... Oh, if Brother Hua Rong hadn't been alert, In the future Wu may make the same mistake as Liu Xuande without knowing it. Dear brother, please pay homage to the foolish brother."
He was about to worship Hua Rong, but Hua Rong knelt down and held him tightly, refusing to let him bow. He kept saying: "Brothers, the future is in the hands of the elder brother, and the suggestions and services are all his own affairs. How dare you accept the responsibility of the elder brother?" Pay homage?"
Everyone around him tried to persuade him, but Cao Cao smiled helplessly, stood up and said, "It is my good fortune to have you brothers help me."
Xu Guanzhong waited for everyone to finish talking, and suddenly smiled and said: "It is not so much my brother's blessing as it is our blessing. Without my brother, how much would we and our brothers be able to accomplish, even if they are talented? That monk Pu Feng, how could he be so talented? Are you as weak as us? Ordinarily drifting thousands of miles away. Haha, no matter how great your ability is, it is not as great as destiny. My brother can indeed make a hero of destiny. Even if we are not there, there are other heroes who can help me achieve great things."
After everyone thought about it, they all felt it made sense and nodded in agreement.
Xu Guanzhong added: "But brother Zhou Tong, although he escaped, he is still a member of my generation. That day, Zeng Touji was tortured for many days, and he refused to bend his integrity, which shows his character. One more thing, let's be honest, brother, That day the princess suddenly came to the hall, but the younger brother was as flustered as a drum. If he didn't jump out, he didn't know what to do. In fact, this kind of matter should be left to Zhou Tong."
Cao Cao smiled: "The laws and regulations were not established in a day. Don't worry about punishing your brother too much and chilling his heart. Just give him a small punishment to let him know how powerful he is. Haha, it's agreed that Brother Xu will go and seduce him. Princess of the Kingdom of Jin, who knew he would jump out when the time comes? Could it be that he is really in love with this princess?"
Ruan Xiaoqi's expression perked up, and she covered her mouth and said, "I was sitting next to him at the time, and I could see clearly that the moment the girl came out, this guy's eyes were straight. I'm afraid it was love at first sight."
Cao Cao shook his head and said with a smile: "If this is really the case, you might as well make a mistake and let's see if Zhou Tong can live up to his expectations. If he loses to this woman, he will be in trouble."
This is exactly what it is: Don’t talk about Wushu and bad heart, the beautiful man who is planning to present is Xu Lang. The princess is angry about life or death, and the overlord sings about the phoenix and the phoenix.
