Chapter 19 Chapter 19: Cold comes to Emperor Garden, if the snow waves block the sails

The god-man who rushes into the Yajie Xiaoxuan is none other than the newly defeated Marquis of the South China Sea, Mengzhang; and the gentle man reciting books in the Xuanfang is his eldest brother, Boyu, the eldest son of Chi Gang, the dragon god of the South China Sea. . The third younger brother had always been indifferent to him, but now he suddenly broke into his study "Yong Yu Zhai" with a sword in his hand, Bo Yu's face turned ashen from fright, and he didn't know what happened.After being dazed for a moment, the bewildered young scholar carefully worded his words in his heart, preparing to question his prestige third brother tentatively.At this time, the Marquis of Nanhai, who had just stormed in violently, also calmed down a little, staring at his brother with piercing eyes, without saying a word.After a while, just as Boyu finally thought of his words and wanted to ask a question, his brother Shuihou sighed first, turned around, waved his hands, and said, "You all step back."

"yes!" Several god generals withdrew in response, and for a while there were only two brothers left in the Youya Xiaoxuan.After a while of silence, Boyu asked cautiously, "I don't know why the third brother is here?" "Well, see for yourself." By this time, Shuihou, who had come out in a rage, had completely calmed down; upon hearing Boyu's words, he replied calmly, and he put the brocade book in his hand that had been pinched into a ball on his elder brother. On the desk in front of you.Seeing the bright yellow Calligraphy Book spread out in front of his eyes, Meng Zhang said mockingly: "Brother Boyu, look, your old grandfather from far away is supporting you!"

"what?" Hearing what his younger brother said, Boyu was startled, not knowing what it meant, he quickly picked up the brocade book and read it word by word from the beginning to the end.The text of this brocade book is not too long, but this Mr. Long, who has read a lot of poems and books and can almost see ten lines at a glance, has read it for nearly half a stick of incense before finally finishing it.When he was looking at the brocade book, the expression on his face was also changing, and his already pale face was now even paler, which was full of gloom. The brocade book on the jade axis that Boyu was reading at this time was the conquest of the four seas just conveyed by the king of Sidu Yunzhong. Not long after he started reading this prose, the great literary prince of the South China Sea had an idea in his mind: to write this crusade The Sidu Wenchen is definitely a master!

It turned out that the book in his hand was used as a war letter to conquer the South China Sea, and the first half of it was naturally to enumerate the crimes in the South China Sea, the main one of which was to accuse the actual lord of the South China Sea, Shuihou Mengzhang, of all kinds of perverse deeds. For example, this call-to-action book attacked Meng Zhang himself very bluntly, saying that he was cruel by nature and acted rebelliously; although he was born as a sacred dragon, he was very surly.It is precisely because of his evil nature that thousands of years ago he used the brutal means of massacring cities and clans to force all ethnic groups in the South China Sea to submit to Longyu.After such bloody and tearful separation of the relationship between the monarchs and ministers and princes in the South China Sea, the article listed Mengzhang's recent evils in detail, which can be summarized into the following six major points: 1. To accommodate the four rebels without Zhiqi.After being taken in, not only did he not teach him to be good, but he also allowed him to commit crimes and ravage the sea people;

2. In the past 100 years, envoys and counselors have been secretly dispatched, harboring evil intentions, lobbying the gods of the Sidu water system, in an attempt to split the Sidu gods, and put thousands of people in Shenzhou under the power of Meng Zhang; The testimonies of 12 river gods including Xishui Wengcheng, who have "awakened themselves".) 3. Raising troops indiscriminately, slaughtering the Taoist disciples of the "Assembly of Gods and Ghosts" and "Spirits of All Things"; , and killed one of his beloved servants; six, disobedient nature, harassing the undead, depriving the sacred place of Zhu Yougui Fang, wanting to do unruly selfish ideas, and dominate the six realms of reincarnation.

After counting all kinds of old hatreds and new hatreds so bloody and tearful, the Sidu proclamation emphasized that Meng Zhang, the dragon thief from the South China Sea, had done all kinds of perverse things, defied the law of reincarnation, and no longer had the appearance of a dragon lord. ; and as the distant grandfather of the dragon gods of the generation below Meng Zhang from the dragon clan of the South China Sea, Father Sidu Long Junyang not only needs to seek justice with other suffering lords, but also must bear the responsibility of educating the elders. The unknown Zulong of the South China Sea chooses the real co-lord of the South China Sea.The call to action solemnly points out that this person is none other than Boyu, the eldest prince of the Dragon Clan of the South China Sea.

After praising Boyu's various virtues and calling on all ethnic groups in the South China Sea to abandon the dark and turn to the Ming and pay more attention to the Ming Lord, the second half of the edict also specifically pointed out: This trip to raise the banner of righteousness and promote justice to fight against the rebels in the South China Sea is only for them The suffering master who was poisoned by Meng Zhang; other irrelevant people, please don't get involved, otherwise you will inevitably perish! After such threats, this imperial edict has reached its most colorful part.The imperial edict reads: "... (where the righteous teacher travels) the thunder shakes thousands of miles, the lightning shines on the sky, the golden light mirrors the field, and the military flag shines on the sun. With the blessing of the emperor's vault, the bright hero must be lifted, and the Zhu flag is pointed south, across the ocean. And Mo Yu. Di Hailang is startled, and the mountains are not flat; the stars are shining, and the sword energy is refreshing. The clouds are open for thousands of miles, the sun is beautiful and the river is bright.

After such a gorgeous ending, at the end are the signatures of several "bitter masters" who were killed by the South China Sea; after the principal Sidu Longjun Yangfu, the following names are impressively affixed: Luofu Shangqing; , Zhang Xingyan! Of course, in the end, whether it is the signature of the united will, or the eloquent imperial edict, they are all stylistic rhetoric, which is only powerful, and at most only a literati like Boyu can judge it carefully.What the princes who are concerned with their own interests really care about is the core content in front of this proclamation.And this prose, which has been spread all over the world, intends to stand on a high ground, and the diction is reasonable and just right. After reading it, even Meng Zhangshuihou, the target of this whole article, has to admit a fact while despising it: this prose is very inspiring. !

If anyone only saw this edict and had no stake in him, Shuihou Mengzhang, he would inevitably scold him as a "dog thief" while covering up the paper.Because of this, when Meng Zhang saw this edict for the first time, he, the majestic Lord Shuihou of the thousand-year-old city, couldn't help being furious, and he drew his sword and smashed two Haiyu Mingchens on the desk. Of course he had calmed down by this time.Although he was very annoyed when he saw the sensitive suggestion of pushing Boyu, but when he really stood in his elder brother's quiet and dusty "Yongyu" study room, Meng Zhang finally felt that maybe it was really his own. Qi Yang Kungfu has not yet been practiced; I have to admit that he fell into the trap of the person who wrote the essay, and became "recklessly angry".

After figuring this out, Meng Zhang couldn't help but look at his big brother in front of him: "Oh... just him, is it possible?" He, Meng Zhang, couldn't understand the elder brother in front of him who was still waving over and over again.According to the general order, the first person to inherit the South China Sea should be this brother Boyu.It's just an unfortunate coincidence that his elder brother was born just like his name, gentle as jade, cowardly by nature, and completely devoid of the wind of a dragon lord.At the beginning, he was barely forced by Zulong to inherit the family business, and he pretended to deal with it on various occasions, but it seemed to be the same; but a thousand years ago, when Longyu began to conquer those disobedient Wanghua When he was born in the Spirit Race, his eldest brother's inferiority was fully exposed: when the war was raging, the young master of the South China Sea completely forgot the teachings of his father and the king, and instead of working hard at the most critical time of the war, he sneaked to the village in the middle of China adjacent to the South China Sea. I went to the market to collect bamboo slips and playthings, and had a great time.Such negligence in the war naturally did not end well, and he was almost killed by the fierce spirit clan who followed him; if his third brother Meng Zhang hadn't risked his life to save him, he, the eldest prince of the dragon clan, would have died a long time ago.If that was the case, Boyu would become the first prince killed by the "inferior" race of the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas in tens of thousands of years, and I am afraid that he would be the laughing stock of all circles from now on.

Obviously, the consequence of this accident is that although the half-hearted Prince Long escaped, he has been deprived of the right to inherit his father's business since then, and has even won a disgraceful nickname, "Lazy Dragon"! Can such a useless big brother replace himself as the co-lord of the South China Sea? Suddenly, the corner of Shuihou's mouth, who was thinking in his heart, couldn't help showing a smile, so before his elder brother could speak, Meng Zhang was already amiable, and said first: "Brother, I was reckless this time. It's sinister, and it's the trick of that cunning old thief." "Extremely extreme!" Hearing his younger brother's words, although the apology was not very sincere, but Bo Yu, the eldest brother, felt as if he had been pardoned. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, regardless of the wet hands, and quickly nodded in agreement: "It's still the third brother who is wise! Eldest brother, I am my own brother!" I know my own family affairs, and I have always been unable to support the wall with mud! Alas—" Having said this in a hurry, Boyu sighed: "To be honest, if this imperial edict hadn't been a little flawed here, I'm afraid it should be the best essay on literature and science I've seen so far—" The words came to an abrupt end here, and Boyu came to his senses and couldn't help being terrified, and quickly blamed himself: "Third brother, look at my mouth—another idiot attack!" "Haha! May as well." "Brother, why should you be so polite to me!" Seeing his elder brother like this, Meng Zhang suddenly felt in a good mood.Now that his anger has subsided, he is ready to leave. But, for some reason, as soon as he raised his head and was about to say goodbye, Meng Zhang saw his brother's obedient and cowardly look in the setting sun, and suddenly became bored for no reason; he swallowed the farewell words that had just come to his lips go back. Looking around, he saw the row of sunflower and bamboo bookshelves on the west wall. Meng Zhang looked at the sleeves of his plain robe for a while, and after a "hoo", several bamboo slips and books fell on the desk in front of Boyu; the bamboo books fell. In the shadow of the sun, there was a moment of dust flying. "Brother!" Just now, Shui Hou, who was still cheerful, stared at these dusty war books, and suddenly raised his voice and said very bluntly: "The war books in the study of my descendants of the Dragon God are not just for display!" Thinking of something, Meng Zhang was a little angry again, and said sharply: "Brother, you know that now is the time of trouble, the moment of life and death; we, the children of the Dragon Clan, should do our best to prepare for battle and fight against the enemy bravely. No one can stay out of it!" It turned out that it was Meng Zhang who suddenly thought that the Sidu Dragon King who came from afar was greatly helped by his relatives, and he was united; especially the nameless boy who had just been declared "Dragon's Son-in-Law" recently killed one of his own. Deli love general.And looking at myself, apart from my father and my second sister, there are no brave and wise people in my family; think about it, if I hadn't built up my power, those alien spirits who had finally subdued would have fallen apart. , surrendered to the enemy——Meng Zhang got angry when he suddenly remembered this proverb: "Brothers who fight tigers are brothers, and father and son fight in battle." But this brother in front of me... So Meng Zhang's suspicion at this moment has long been replaced by the anger of hating iron and steel. Seeing that the third brother was angry again and talked about his pain, Boyu murmured for a while, unable to utter a word for a long time. Seeing his cowardly appearance, the brave Shuihou, who is both civil and military, calmed down, remained silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Brother Boyu, have you ever heard of the Kunwu Sword?" "Kunwu knife?" "I know I know! I saw it in a book!" Although he didn't know what his younger brother's intention was, but Boyu was in a state of confusion at the moment, and didn't know how to answer; when he heard Meng Zhang's diversion, he didn't rush to answer it, and answered bravely.He began to recite eloquently: "There is a Liuzhou in the ocean beyond the West Sea, and there are many rocks on it. It is called Kunwu. Smelting stones into iron, making swords, bright holes are like water essences, and cutting jade is like cutting soil. Yan-" Boyu was shaking his head and reciting aloud, but was suddenly interrupted by his younger brother: "Brother, so you know so clearly, then have you ever asked someone, or went to search for the sword by yourself?" "Uh...no..." Brother Long spoke awkwardly and looked rather embarrassed. "Oh, I see." At this time, Meng Zhang didn't say anything else, he just responded lightly and said: "Brother Boyu, there is a very good Kunwu knife at my brother's place; since my brother knows, I will have someone to fight the knife tomorrow. The copy of "Ran Yu Pi Feng Knife Manual" is here for my brother to enjoy!" After saying a word, Meng Zhang left his embarrassing elder brother behind him, rolled up his proclamation, turned around and left, raised his sleeves after going out, and closed the study door behind him with a "bang". Not to mention the wry smile on Prince Boyu's face inside the door, how to care about it, let's talk about Shui Hou Mengzhang, when he came outside the door boldly, he suddenly saw a dragon standing beside the crystal rockery beside the guards he brought. Temple Herald.Seeing the herald, Longhou's heart moved, and he asked, "What's the matter to report? Is there an urgent military situation?" Hearing his question, the messenger who had been standing there for a long time hurried forward and replied respectfully: "I have seen the Marquis of Shui!" "Shui Hou Rong reported that there is also a military situation, but Lord Longling sent the younger one to ask Lord Junhou if the matter is over; if the family affairs are over, I want to ask Shuihou to preside over the Zhenhai Palace and discuss the situation together. Master Ling is waiting in the Hall of Zhenhai with all the generals." Hearing such a report, since he left the room, his face was sinking like water, and his face was slightly pale; when he was about to answer, his palm happened to touch the brocade calligraphy in his sleeve - like this Come on, the face of Longhou, who was already amiable, suddenly sank, and he shouted: "This matter is not urgent! You go back and ask all the adults to wait, I still have some private matters to attend to!" After distributing the notification officer, Meng Zhang turned around again, and said to the guards and subordinates: "You guys also go back first, perform your duties, don't slack off!" After finishing speaking with a stern face, Meng Zhang left the guards who were looking at each other, stomped on the jade road, his male body turned quickly, rose into the air, and drifted away into the distance. When he was far away, among the dragon generals who were still standing there with good eyesight, they could vaguely see that his lord passed by a coral forest shining brightly, and drifted through several acres of soft belts. The seaweed field is rushing towards a cave full of ice crystals in the far distance.For these high-ranking dragon generals in the Dragon Realm, the destination that the Shui Hou rushes to is very familiar-it is a strangely cold place in the Ocean Dragon Realm in the South China Sea, the Ice Crystal Cave, Also known as "Cold Cave". "Could it be Longhou..." These water guards knew very well in their hearts that a strange body was being stored in the cold cave that was only used to make ice to escape the heat in the past; in a sense, the unkind war they faced today, And the death of the Ice God General who had just died had a lot to do with this slender and frail body. Thinking of this, and looking at the lord's furious figure, for some reason, these dragon warriors, who were considered fearless, suddenly panicked for no reason. But at this moment, when that tall figure quickly approached the entrance of the vast white cave, the young man with a calm face thousands of miles away was unaware and was still straddling a sea beast with a golden mane and a snowmane. On the divine horse, he concentrates on leading the army of thousands of demon gods behind him, and according to the plan of the Dragon King, he gallops across the blue waters and thousands of miles of sea!
