A bet?
Both Elder Helun and the geniuses watching in the audience were stunned.
"My friend, please tell me how to make a bet?" Elder Helun said with a smile, obviously interested.
Luo Xi tugged on Su Lingxiu's clothes: "What do you want to do?"
"Believe me." Su Lingxiu turned around and smiled, then turned to Elder Helun and said sternly: "I think if one of our three geniuses challenges a genius from Xia Linshi Palace, if he loses, we The three of them enter Xialinshi Palace unconditionally!"
oh--
The audience was in an uproar, and the geniuses immediately became agitated. Isn't this a declaration of challenge to the geniuses of Xia Linshi Palace?
"Su Dao's friendly spirit!" His Royal Highness the eldest prince, who was handsome in gold-patterned white robes, praised loudly.
"Not bad, not bad, great spirit!" The geniuses behind the eldest prince also echoed loudly, most of them also belong to the genius of the eldest prince's faction.
The geniuses below were talking loudly, obviously excited.
It's not you who are challenging, so why are you excited? .
Su Lingxiu raised his eyes and glanced at the excited monks of Xia Linshi Palace below. The effect was very good, and the mood was stimulated. Elder Helun took into account the face of Xia Linshi Palace and did not refuse easily.
Sichen snorted coldly. Before Elder Helun could answer, he said loudly: "What if you win?"
All the geniuses calmed down after hearing this. On the one hand, it was hindered by the identity of the second prince, and on the other hand, they did ignore the bet issue.
Su Lingxiu smirked: "If we win, that genius will come with us!"
Another surge of emotion.
"This is poaching, blatant poaching!"
"It's too much, with bad intentions!"
...
The people below were already scolding, even His Highness the First Prince frowned slightly, and Elder Helun also hesitated.
"Pfft, are you scared? You are considering the one-for-three bet, so where is the courage to mock us just now?!" Ye Changgeng sneered and taunted loudly.
Silence, dead silence.
This sentence really stimulated the self-esteem of all the geniuses as Xia Lin Shi Palace geniuses.
"Then fight!"
"Who is afraid of whom!?"
"I, Xia Linshi Palace, can't find anyone to deal with you!?"
In an instant, the crowd below once again became angry.
"Hahahahahaha, Brother Ye criticized me for being too timid, so let's do it!" His Highness the First Prince laughed loudly. He couldn't wait to see the showdown between the geniuses.
"Then come on." Si Chen's face was expressionless. Was this because he was going to hit him by name?
However, being ridiculed, Ye Changgeng and Luo Xiwei still asked Su Lingxiu in confusion: "Why do we want him?"
Su Lingxiu's expression was treacherous: "Are you two willing to give up something like that?"
It has to be you, Su Lingxiu. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They really didn’t want to let the Red Burning Emperor Yan Tianshu pass to others.
Some teachers came up to Helun and chatted softly with him for a few times. Then Helun said seriously to the three teenagers: "Okay, I, Xia Lin Shigong, will accept the challenge from the three teenagers. In a few moments, I will be the master." In order to arrange for the most outstanding talent in Xia Linshi Palace."
Every generation of monks in Xialinshi Palace can only count the number of people who can climb the tenth step of the golden ladder. It is not an exaggeration to give the greatest importance to these three young men.
With that said, he was about to turn around and tell the teachers to make arrangements, but Su Lingxiu said: "Wait a moment, if possible, I have someone I want to challenge."
"This...must be the top three people among his peers in Xia Linshi Palace." Elder Helun frowned slightly. These three people wouldn't want to be picked on.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Yuan Palace, Yan Xu."
As soon as Su Lingxiu spoke his words, it was obvious that the atmosphere on and off the stage suddenly solidified. Everyone looked at Su Lingxiu with strange eyes, even Elder Helun had a look of astonishment on his face.
"Is he... not qualified?" Su Lingxiu regretted a little, but still asked tentatively.
"No, no, no, that's enough. I'll see you in Xia Linshi Palace Arena in an hour." Elder Helun didn't say anything more. He told the time and place before leaving. The remaining three people didn't know what to do in the eyes of everyone. At a loss.
Court meeting at the Imperial Palace of Daxia.
Emperor Xia, who was dressed in fine clothes, walked slowly in the hall, and all the ministers looked at each other.
"Capturing the Great Zhou Dynasty will be the first node in our journey to the rise of Great Xia. At this time, the vitality of the Supreme Heavenly Court is severely damaged and it is unable to interfere with the situation of the Heluo Dynasty. It is time to go north to take control of the Central Plains!" Emperor Xia's voice resounded. The palace is reverberating in everyone's ears!
Above the court hall, only silence remained. .
General Ning Fengsu stood up. "I second the proposal. Fusang comes out from the east. Jizhou Dynasty has already fallen out of the ranks of the three imperial families. Its southern star territory has been divided up by other countries. After breaking through Houyang Pass, everything will be smooth sailing!"
"What my emperor and the general said is absolutely true." Si Hu, the head of the Daxia royal family, also stood up. "The information is genuine. In the Holy War of Heaven regarding the Yaoxi Empire, the last failure of the Supreme Heavenly Court has caused the Supreme Heavenly Court's strength to be greatly reduced. It failed to prevent the chaos in Heluo. The most recent time, it even withdrew its troops stationed in All the powerful troops in Heluo. It is now time to break the balance of power among all parties in Heluo!"
For a long time, the Heluo Star Territory has been shrouded in the shadow of the Supreme Heavenly Court of the Imperial Territory to the east. After the two Heavenly Holy Wars, the Supreme Heavenly Court had no time to take care of itself. It greatly reduced the tribute of holy coins every hundred years and also took away the Supreme Power. The kings and ministers of the Heluo Kingdom were all proud and proud.
The two extremely heavyweight powerful ministers have already expressed their attitude, and all the court officials have begun to take sides.
"Tian Si ordered Long Yuan to second the proposal."
"Chasing Lu in the Central Plains is really what the people want, and the local commander Li Yan seconded it."
.....
At this moment, Ling Yan, the great star official in astrological robes, smiled and said: "Ling Yan certainly supports our emperor's decision!"
Another heavyweight and powerful minister expressed his support for Emperor Xia's decision. The general represented the military, the royal family chief represented the royal family, and the big star official was another person who helped the powerful ministers. Many minor ministers behind them also expressed their support. Emperor Xia's plan seems to be finalized at this moment.
"Wait a minute." At this time, a discordant voice suddenly appeared above the court.
When the ministers saw it, it was the wife of Prince Yuan.
Come again?
No, General Ning Fengsu frowned, trying to stop Si Yu from getting up with his eyes. This was pushing himself into the abyss.
"I have objections." Finally, Si Yu said those words. Emperor Xia suddenly looked ugly. Ning Fengsu let out a long sigh and closed his eyes helplessly.
Above the court, many sighs and sighs were heard. Although the wife of Prince Yuan had many enemies in the Great Xia court, there were still many people who pity her for her stunning beauty.
Emperor Xia has planned for thousands of years to go north and seize control of the Central Plains. It is already the aspiration of the people. How can it be organized by your Siyu with just a few words?
Why do you have to jump into the fire pit?
Is this dazzling flower that bloomed in the Great Xia Dynasty finally withered?
Si Yu, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was unparalleled in beauty, just glanced at Ning Fengsu indifferently, but she seemed to blame him for being sentimental.
Then, she spoke unhurriedly: "As Emperor Xia said, the opportunity is indeed rare nowadays, but the centipede will not freeze even if it is dead. Moreover, the Zhou Dynasty is far from decaying and has not been in decline for hundreds of millions of years." It has never been in a more embarrassing situation, but it still continues. Can I, Daxia, really win today?"
Xia Huangfeng's jade-like face was a little stiff, and he sat back on the golden throne and remained silent.
This does not mean that the other courtiers can sit still. The young general Song Nian behind General Ning Fengsu said loudly: "My fighting force against Xia Dynasty is unparalleled, and I have the courage to win the championship in Heluo. Moreover, my emperor personally sat in command and captured a mere Ji Ji." What’s so difficult about Zhou Tan!?”
It's just a typical flattery. Mrs. Yuanwang's wife Siyu sneered again and again. "Then what was the battle at Suoyang Pass?"
The high-spirited Song Nian suddenly turned red and couldn't answer a word for a long time.
Suoyang Pass was originally an important town on the southernmost frontier of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the Battle of Suoyang Pass three years ago, Great Xia defeated the Great Zhou Dynasty and used it as a base to occupy a large amount of land in the Great Zhou Star Territory and curl the Great Zhou border to the north. As far as Houyangguan is concerned, it is only one state away from Luoyang, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
This also means that Daxia's colleagues, who have greatly increased their national power, have become the Sword of Damocles hanging on the neck of the Zhou Dynasty.
In addition, Hou Yangguan was connected to Yuxuan, the portal of the Yin and Shang Dynasty, one of the three imperial families in the northeast of Great Xia. It could advance, attack, retreat or defend, adding another powerful weapon to control the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
It can be said that the Battle of Suoyang Pass was the decisive battle of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it established the highest say of Great Xia.
However, the battle at Suoyang Pass was regarded as an extremely disgraceful battle by both the court and the public of the Great Xia Dynasty, because when the logistics of the Jizhou Dynasty were cut off and the right time, place and people were not available, the veteran general Deng Lu forced the army to retreat. Xia lost nearly three times the strength of the Suoyang Pass defenders before they could win.
Even veteran Deng Lu was allowed to stand out.
Shame, great shame.
"There are too many ways to unite the countries, follow the inducements, and unite the armies." Ning Fengsu said quietly.
But Si Yu did not give in: "He Zong Lian Heng is an old trick. The Zhou Emperor brothers are in their prime, and Deng Lu and Lin Tianfeng are working together. Are all countries really willing to wade into this muddy water?"
There were unanimous exclamations in the hall, and it had to be said that what Si Yu said was reasonable.
Although the Great Zhou Heavenly Army and the star territory containing a large amount of elixir soil and mines suffered heavy losses, the Xia Emperor brothers and the two generals did not suffer any losses. It was also an extremely difficult bone to crack. You must know that the Zhou Huang brothers can compete with Xia Huang, and Lin Tianfeng and Deng Lu are both known as the twin stars of the Ji Zhou Dynasty, and both of them are super famous generals in Heluo.
But at this moment, Emperor Xia's lowered eyes slightly raised, and his majestic voice sounded careless and even playful. "Lin Tianfeng, are you talking about him?"
The ministers were greatly puzzled. Following Emperor Xia's gaze, everyone looked outside the hall. In an instant, everyone was shocked!
Ta-ta-ta-ta.
Outside the main hall, crisp footsteps sounded.
The man had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a chilling temperament. He was covered in orange-gold holy armor, with infinite brilliance, and his snow-white cloak fluttered in the wind, making him extremely dazzling.
Siyu Liuli's beautiful eyes suddenly shrank, completely shocked.
Great Zhou Dynasty, great general, Cheng Luan Lin Tianfeng!
Why is he here! ! ?
