Chapter 9 Chapter Nine Yo Yo Luming

Ever since Emperor Wu's middle age, when Wei Qing and Huo Qubing swept away the royal court of the Huns, the Xiongnu no longer had the majesty of iron cavalry that directly crushed the border of the Han Dynasty. However, since the national power of the Han Dynasty weakened, and the Xiongnu began to move around again, frequently harassing the border of the Han Dynasty. In addition to the threat from the Xiongnu, another biggest threat to the Han Dynasty came from an increasingly powerful nomadic people-Qiang. The Han people divided the Qiang people into Western Qiang, Northern Qiang, Southern Qiang and Zhong Qiang according to geographical location.

In the last years of Emperor Wudi, the Xiqiang people assembled an army of 100,000, united with the Xiongnu, and launched an attack on the Han Dynasty. Although the Qiang people failed in the end, the big man also paid an extremely heavy price, which made Emperor Wu still hate him until his death, and told the four Tuogu ministers to beware of the Qiang people. After the death of Emperor Wu, the Qiang people saw the weakening of the national power of the Han Dynasty and the frequent occurrence of civil strife, so they coveted the Hexi area that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing had taken from the Xiongnu.

With boundless green grass and abundant water sources, the Hexi area is a paradise in the dreams of nomads and a blessed land bestowed by gods to nomads. In order to recapture the Hexi region, the Qiang people traveled and lobbied among the countries in the Western Regions, as well as the Xiongnu. They often launched tentative attacks on the Han Dynasty and tried to instigate the Huns, Qiangs and other Western Regions who had surrendered to the Han Dynasty and settled in the Hexi region. People rebelled. The Han Dynasty and the Qiang people fought fiercely in the Hexi area, especially in the Hehuang area, which was a military pass.

The Qiang people often use the bloody policy of massacring the villages to eliminate the Han population, hoping to maintain the absolute majority of the Qiang people in the Hehuang area. Because of the nomadic characteristics of the Qiang people and the worship of freedom in the national nature, the Western Qiang, Northern Qiang, Southern Qiang, and Central Qiang currently do not have a unified central royal court, but driven by common interests, the various tribes gradually come together the trend of. If the various tribes of the Qiang people were united and then colluded with the Huns, plus the hundreds of thousands of descendants of the Huns and Qiang who had already settled in the Hexi and Guanzhong areas, once the turmoil started, it would become a catastrophe that swept across the entire northwestern territory of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, when Prince Ke Erdada and Princess Alia of Zhongqiang came forward to congratulate Liu Fuling on the Chinese New Year on behalf of the various tribes of the Qiang people, all the officials suddenly fell silent, temporarily stopping their cups and chopsticks, and looking at Kerdada. The silence of the officials affected the women's seats. All the women didn't know what happened, and they didn't dare to speak anymore in shock. They also looked at the highest place where the emperor sat, and examined the foreign prince Kerdada. However, Yun Ge was attracted by Alia's attire, gave a soft "Huh", looked at it for a long time, and then moved his eyes to look at Kerdada.

Ke Erdada is not tall, but with broad shoulders and thick back, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a windy walk, it seems very majestic to anyone who sees it. He saluted and congratulated Liu Fuling, and said in a loud voice: "It is said that the great man has a vast land and rich resources. When I saw him today, he really deserved his reputation. The jewels as bright as the stars in the sky dazzled my eyes, and the exquisite food made my tongue almost speechless. There are girls as beautiful as snow mountain fairies that make me blush and make my heart beat..." Xu Pingjun chuckled: "Although this prince's words are a bit vulgar, they are very funny, and he speaks like singing."

Yun Ge also laughed and said: "The people on horseback, the singing is their words. Sister! Although their words are not as elegant as the Han people, their affection is the same as yours." It's like singing. Xu Pingjun knew that Yunge was from the Western Regions, and he had a different view of Huren and Fanbang from them, so he smiled tactfully and said nothing. Everyone laughed contemptuously and proudly when they heard Ke Erdada's words.He despises the vulgarity of Keerdada, and is proud of everything praised in Keerdada's words. Liu Fuling remained calm, calmly waiting for Kerdada's turning words to appear.

Ke Er da da smiled and glanced at the officials of the Han Dynasty sitting under the main hall, their thin bodies under the large sleeves of the toga. "...But, there are eagles soaring in the vast blue sky, and horses galloping in the boundless grasslands. Han brothers, where are your eagles and horses?" Kerr rattled and raised his hand, and four prairie men who looked like iron towers walked towards Liu Fuling with presents in their hands. Every step they took made the table tremble slightly. While dodging to protect Liu Fuling, Yu An wanted to yell at them to back off. The nomadic peoples have a tough folk style and value heroes and warriors. Even the leaders of the tribe - Shanyu, Khan, and chiefs must be heroes in order to convince the masses.

Seeing that the emperor of the Han Dynasty wanted an eunuch to protect him, Kerdada showed unabashed contempt in his eyes.He was about to order the four guards to retreat, but Liu Fuling stared at Yu An, and Yu An immediately retreated silently. Four iron tower-like warriors approached Liu Fuling step by step, but Liu Fuling didn't seem to see him, just looked at Kerr and smiled calmly. The four warriors did not stand still until they were close to the table. Liu Fuling looked calm, looked at the warrior in front of him with a smile, and said without hesitation: "The sharp claws of an eagle in the sky will not show itself if it does not see a poisonous snake, and the iron hooves of a horse on the grassland will not raise its hooves if it does not see a wolf. Brother, do you think an eagle with its wings folded is a wild goose? A resting horse is a deer?"

Liu Fuling answered Ke Erdada's question with grassland short tunes, showing great respect to him, but what was conveyed in his words was the deterrence of the big man. Liu Fuling's combination of grace and power made Kerdada momentarily at a loss as to how to respond. Being able to quickly answer and question him with grassland short tunes shows that the emperor has a good understanding of the customs and customs on the grassland.Regardless of other things, this alone made him dare not belittle the emperor of the Han Dynasty who looked gentle and gentle.Ke Erdada was stunned for a moment, and ordered the four guards to stand aside.

He bowed to Liu Fuling: "Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, our warriors come from afar, not for jewelry, not for fine wine, and not for beauties, just like eagles can only fly with eagles, and healthy horses can only fly with strong Horses are galloping, and warriors only want to make friends with warriors. We are looking for brothers worthy of our scimitar, but why do I only see tongue-twisting wild geese and sucking deer?" The civil officials and Confucian scholars who formed cliques and secretly showed scheming, who were more eloquent and eloquent, instantly blushed and had thick necks with anger. However, led by Huo Yu and Huo Yun, the young military officers under the protection of their father almost set off a case. Liu Fuling's face was indifferent, but his heart was not without sadness. Thinking back to the Han dynasty, the writers had Sima Qian, Sima Xiangru, Dongfang Shuo, Zhu Fuyan... Wu had Weiqing, Huo Qubing, Li Guang, Zhao Puonu... Wen Xing and Jiang Xing were shining all over the house, and anyone who stood up at random left Si Yi speechless. And now... Chewing geese?A suckling fawn? They say your enemy is the one who knows your weaknesses best, and how true! Liu Fuling's eyes slowly swept across his Minister of Civil and Military Affairs: Great General Huo Guang sat on the table expressionlessly. Everything that happened at the banquet today will spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an City tomorrow, and then spread throughout the world.Huo Guang seemed to only want to see if Liu Fuling could meet this provocation in front of the whole world.It seemed that he was waiting for Liu Fuling to make a mistake before he appeared on the stage with a smile. While cleaning up Kerdada, he also let the whole world know Huo Guangzhi's virtuousness. "Prime Minister Wood" Tian Qianqiu has always been that Huo Guang doesn't say anything, he doesn't say anything; Huo Guang doesn't move, he doesn't move.He lowered his eyes and restrained his breath, as if he had already settled down. Zhonglang generals of the first rank in the official residence: Huo Yu and Huo Yun. ... Liu Fuling smiled and turned his gaze to Liu Bingji who was sitting in the last seat. Liu Bing already felt a bit of hesitation in his heart. But when he saw Kerdada, whose chin was raised slightly, with a sneer on his face, arrogantly looking down at the court of the Han family, he hesitated for the last bit. This occasion is not the time to care too much about personal advantages and disadvantages. He nodded slightly to Liu Fuling's gaze, stood up, and chanted as he walked forward: "Yo Yo Lu Ming, the apple of the wild food, I have guests, harp blowing Sheng. Blowing the sheng and drum springs, carrying the basket is the general, People are kind to me, show me how to go around. Yo Yo Lu Ming, Artemisia of the Wild Food, I have a guest, Deyin Kong Zhao. Regard the people as wrong, but if the gentleman is right, he will act. I have a decree for wine, and the guest style is Yan Yiao. Yo Yo Luming, the sweetness of the wild food. I have guests, with drums and zithers. The drums and zithers are harmonious and exquisite. I have a decree for wine, with the heart of a Yanle guest. " Liu Bing was already singing as he walked, his sleeves fluttering and his steps calm. In the empty front hall, hundreds of officials sat blankly, all of them looked at him indifferently, Huo Yu and Huo Shan even had a trace of sarcasm on their lips. His singing voice only aroused a slight echo in the wide hall, and it seemed weak. But he has a vigorous demeanor, a strong singing voice, a sassy and heroic demeanor, and there is a kind of generosity in his majestic aura, which is admirable, and he has a lot of respect for him. "Deer Ming" is a celebration song for the nobles of the Central Plains to entertain their friends. Among the musicians at the banquet, one or two very clever ones had already realized that Liu Bing wanted to use the solemn and generous ballads of the Han people in response to the provocative singing of the Qiang people. The suffocated musicians looked at the arrogance of the Qiang prince and Liu Bingji's generosity, and a few people with Jing Ke's courage began to play along with Liu Bingji's singing. At the beginning, there were only two or three people here and there, but soon, all the musicians understood Liu Bingji's intentions, and they all started to accompany Liu Bingji without any order, and sang while playing. The singers also began to sing along with the sound of drums and zithers. The dancers also began to sing along with the sound of drums and harps. One, two, three, ... all the musicians, all the singers, all the dancers... Forgetting that they are just a scene at the banquet, a plaything; forgetting that it is the responsibility of the generals to defend the country; "Lu Ming" ranks at the beginning of "Xiaoya", which shows the beauty of its song and its great momentum. The melody is cheerful but full of solemnity, and gentle but full of majesty. But even more creepy and moving are the people who sing. They don't know diction, they can't write proclamations to the enemy country; they don't know martial arts, they can't fight the enemy. But they used their own methods to defend the majesty of the big man and not allow others to trample on it. Although their bodies are humble, their hearts to protect the country are nobler than all the dignitaries who sit on vegetarian meals. They sang for the dignity of the nation, and they expressed their determination to defend their homeland. In the end, Liu Bing just smiled and stood quietly in front of Kerdada with his hands behind his back. What echoes in the main hall is the song "Deer Crying" by Sheng Daxionghong. Hundreds of musicians, singers, and dancers sang solemnly in every corner of the hall.Their singing roared in the hall, shaking everyone's minds. Although Liu Bingji was standing alone in front of Kerdada, there were tens of thousands of ordinary people standing behind him. The song is over. Ke Erdada's arrogant smile disappeared, and her eyes were full of shock. Is there a nation with such people that they can move lightly? Even the weak and lowly dancers will stare into his eyes calmly, sing loudly, and smile awe-inspiringly! Liu Bing has bowed to Kerdada: "My court is a land of rites and music. We entertain the tired bodies of our guests with fine wine, and delight their nostalgic hearts with songs. Our bows, arrows, knives and knives will only be shown to the enemy. If you come from afar If our guests want to prove our friendship in their own way, we will definitely accompany them." Ke Erdada hesitated, but was not reconciled. before coming. In front of all the chiefs of the Qiang tribes, he patted his chest and promised that the Chang'an people would always remember the bravery of the Qiang people.The four people brought on this trip were warriors carefully selected from among the Qiang warriors. According to the order of their father, they wanted to use this move to strengthen the confidence of the various chieftains of the Qiang tribe, complete the unification, and jointly discuss big things. Liu Bing had already seen this, and knew that although Keerdada's power had been seized, he hadn't let him die yet. "His Royal Highness, I am ranked at the end of the hundred officials of the Han Dynasty. If the prince's warriors are willing to compete with me, I will be very honored." The warrior Zhe Chi'er behind Kerdada was already eager to try. Hearing that Liu Bing had taken the initiative to challenge him, no matter how hard he was, he hurriedly said to Kerdada, "Prince, I am willing to fight." Kerr looked at Liu Fuling, Liu Fuling said: "Use martial arts to make friends, click to the end." Yu An hurriedly ordered people to clean up the venue, and secretly ordered all the best imperial doctors to be called. Ever since Liu Bing walked out of the banquet, Xu Pingjun didn't dare to breathe. Hearing that Liu Bing was about to directly fight the opponent's warrior at this time, he felt very complicated. As a citizen of the Han Dynasty, she was no less indignant than anyone else at the aggressive provocation and humiliation of the Qiang prince, so when she saw her husband and son-in-law walking out from his highness, he was full of righteousness and faced the Yi prince, Her heart was full of pride and excitement. That person is her husband-in-law! Xu Pingjun has such a husband in this life, what regrets do he have? But on the other hand, just because that person is her husband-in-law, besides excitement and pride, she also has worries and fears. Yun Ge held Xu Pingjun's hand: "Don't be afraid! Eldest brother used to be the top ranger in Chang'an city, and his martial arts skills are absolutely extraordinary, otherwise how would those rangers convince elder brother?" Ke Erdada smiled and said to Liu Fuling: "Your Majesty, since there is a competition, it is better to decide the winner in three games. In the future, the song will be spread among the people, and it will also be a testimony of the friendship between our two countries." Liu Fuling smiled slightly, and his mind was already settled: "As requested by the prince. Adviser Meng Jue went to the palace to accept the order. I ordered you to represent us to compete with the Qiang warriors." There was silence at the banquet, I don't know what the emperor is thinking, send a civil servant to fight? If it was Huo Guang's order, it would be easy to understand. But the emperor?Even if Meng Jue offended the emperor, and the emperor wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, there was no need to do so at this juncture, right? Meng Jue was not surprised at all, he already knew that in the inexplicable fight outside Chang'an city that day, the people he met were Yu An, Qixi and the others, so it was not surprising that the emperor knew that he knew martial arts. He stood up with a smile, stepped forward, kowtowed, and received the order. The third choice? Liu Fuling looked at Huo Guang indifferently, Huo Guang knew that this was a secret contest with Liu Fuling, and he fell short again. Back then, the guards selected by Prince Li to protect Liu Bingji were all first-class masters.Liu Bing was already on the verge of life and death, so in order to survive, he naturally had to devote himself to learning martial arts.Later, he mixed up among the knight-errants, and what he learned was even more complex. The title of "big brother" was definitely not for nothing, so both Huo Guang and Liu Fuling knew that Liu Bing had won. Although Huo Guang didn't know much about Meng Jue's martial arts, Liu Fuling would never make fun of the great Han's national prestige, so Liu Fuling naturally had confidence in Meng Jue's victory, and he would never know Liu Fuling's discernment. Suspect. Liu Fuling's sword was slanted, not only did he make the most of his disadvantages, but with today's achievements, if Liu Fuling wanted to appoint Liu Bingji and Meng Jue to official positions in the future, it would be very difficult for him to refute. At this moment, Huo Guang didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and was about to fight for the Huo family's children. The Qiang princess beside Kerdada, who had been silent all this time, suddenly bent over to salute Liu Fuling: "Your Majesty, Alia asks for the third match." Keerdada had already made plans in her mind, unexpectedly she was preempted by her sister, she was a little unhappy at first, but after thinking about it, this girl is very good at whipping, and secondly, she is a woman, she only knows that daughters in the grassland are not inferior to men in stamina, but she has not I heard that women from the Central Plains are good at martial arts. If the Han people send a man out, even if they win, they will lose face. Let's see how the Han people respond. Liu Fuling already had the wisdom in his hands, so he didn't care about winning or losing the third match. If the opponent is a man, let Huo Guang decide any one of the Huo family to fight. Although the children of the Huo family are arrogant, their martial arts are indeed not weak. It's great if you can win, but it's also great if you can't win! But it turned out to be a woman.I just feel that it is really difficult. Thinking that the few court ladies taught by Yu An should still be useful, but today there is only matcha in the front hall, and if all the officials know that the court ladies know martial arts, there will be endless troubles.Perhaps Aaliyah can only be allowed to pick opponents among the female relatives, and it is right to treat it as a boudoir joke for people to talk about after tea. Before he could make up his mind, he suddenly heard a crisp voice. "Your majesty, this servant is willing to compete with the princess." Seeing Liu Fuling's hesitation from below, Yun Ge decided to accept this competition. Xu Pingjun wanted to pull him but he didn't, Yun Ge had already left the table and knelt down in front of the hall to beg for orders. Liu Fuling looked at Yun Ge who was kneeling on the ground, feeling embarrassed and warm in his heart.In this hall, after all, he is not sitting alone on a high place. How about Ke Yunge's martial arts? Although I don't know for sure, but after being with Yun Ge for so long, I know that she reads recipes, poems, and unofficial histories, but I have never seen her flip through the palace's martial arts secret books.With her character, if she didn't have something she was interested in, how could she force herself to do it? He was trying to find an excuse to dismiss it, but in her eyes, all she could see was "Promise me! Promise me! I promise nothing will happen", while Ke Erdada and the Shiyi envoys were like tigers and wolves waiting to pounce, with cold eyes Watch his every move. Liu Fuling had no choice but to raise his hand to make Yunge stand up, and granted her request. Liu Fuling glanced at Qixi who was standing below her eyes, and Qixi hurriedly took the opportunity to ask Yunge what kind of weapons she needed, and told Yunge over and over again: "The emperor has been calculating for a long time, if he can't beat it, he will admit defeat, you must not Hurt yourself." Yun Ge smiled and nodded frequently: "Of course, of course. I won't make fun of my own life." Qixi asked again: "What weapon does the girl use?" Yun Ge scratched his head, with a blank expression on his face: "I haven't thought it through yet, I'll let you know when I think it over." Qixi felt a flock of crows flying over her head, and left wiping off a cold sweat. Yun Ge's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Huo Chengjun, who was depressed and kept aloof from the matter, put down the wine glass in his hand, and looked at Yun Ge with complicated emotions. Not to mention Xu Pingjun, at this moment the three people on the stage are her dearest relatives, she wished she could fly to the stage and fight side by side with them.But I can't help with anything, I can only pray to God and heaven in my heart, hoping that everything will be safe, and it really is "just click". Yun Gequan pretended that Meng Jue didn't exist, so he saluted Liu Bingji with a smile, sat down beside Liu Bingji, and began to look around, up and down, looking at Alia. It's serious, it's just for fun. Liu Bingji and Meng Jue looked at Yunge speechlessly. Yun Ge's three-legged cat's kung fu actually dared to embarrass others? ! If it wasn't for such an occasion, they would have grabbed her by the neck and thrown her back where she came from. The first scene is Liu Bingji vs Zhe Chi'er. Before Liu Bingji went on stage, Meng Jue smiled and whispered a few words to him, Liu Bingji nodded with a smile, and left calmly. Zhe Chi'er said in a low voice: "When I kill the enemy on horseback, the weapon is a mace. Horseback kung fu is best at wrestling and close combat. I don't have weapons. But you can use weapons." Liu Bing has already treated the other party's frankness with sincerity, and bowed his hands as a gift: "I have learned a lot since I was a child, and I can't say what I am best at at the moment. I am willing to learn from my brother with bare hands." Zhe Chier nodded and launched an attack. Although Zhe Chi'er looks rough and bold, his martial arts are rough and fine. Wrestling's "fix" and "flash" were used in the lower hand, but the double fists were used in close combat "quick" and "wrap". He can only dodge in the wind of his fist. As he said, Zhe Chi'er knew only these two kinds of kung fu. Because he only knows these two kinds of kung fu, after decades of practice, he has practiced them very purely. The "steadiness" of the lower body and the "fastness" of both fists have been perfectly matched. Those who know martial arts can naturally see that Zhe Chi'er has unintentionally followed the simplification and clumsiness of Han people's martial arts, but wives and ladies who do not understand martial arts find it very boring. Liu Bingji is quite different, just watching him move and jump, his moves are sometimes simple, sometimes complicated, sometimes slow, sometimes fierce, the ladies and ladies are dazzled by watching him, and it is just enjoyable. Yun Ge was very puzzled, the eldest brother's martial arts looked beautiful and good-looking, but why did he feel that he didn't try his best at all.Big brother gives people a feeling that what he has learned is very complicated, but there is no such thing as pure feeling.But she knew that Liu Bing was by no means such a person, he would dabble in a wide range of subjects, but he would never skimp on everything, he would definitely pick what he thought was the best and learn the best. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred moves have been made, and both Liu Bingji and Zhe Chi'er were unscathed. Liu Bing already had some understanding of Grassland Kung Fu, now he has seen Zhe Chi'er's more than a hundred moves, and he has made up his mind.Said to Zhe Chi'er: "Be careful." The kung fu suddenly changed, and Zhe Chi'er used exactly the same moves as Zhe Chi'er to attack. Zhe Chi'er is a pure-minded person. He learned wrestling and wrestling at the age of five or six, and practiced without distraction, regardless of whether there are other advanced kung fu in this world.After decades, unknowingly, he has practiced the skills that everyone on the grassland knows to the level that no one can match.If Liu Bing has used any other kung fu, he will be as usual, no matter how many tricks his opponent has, no matter how false or real, he will fight according to the trick.But Liu Bing had suddenly used his kung fu to hit him, and Zhe Chi'er was stunned.How could he know my kung fu?I know what he's going to do next!So how should I fight?But doesn't he also know how I fight?He must have been prepared, so how should I fight... Liu Bing had already taken advantage of Zhe Chi'er's absent-mindedness, suddenly hooked his feet, threw his upper body, and used one of the oldest wrestling postures - an over-the-shoulder throw, and threw Zhe Chi'er to the ground. The people in the hall suddenly saw two people sparring with the exact same kung fu, and they were also stunned. They didn't react until Liu Bing had knocked Zhe Chi'er down. Liu Fuling was the first to applaud, and then everyone realized that Liu Bing had won, so they applauded loudly. Liu Bing had already helped Zhe Chi'er up, and Zhe Chi'er blushed and said in confusion, "You are really good at kung fu, you won." Liu Bing already knew that there was a shadow in this honest man's heart, and if he tried to make another move in the future, he would definitely not be confident.Zhe Chi'er's martial arts is very good, and his mind has no other distractions, which has coincided with the highest state of the word "Shou" in martial arts.As long as his mind is not disturbed, it will not be easy for outsiders to attack him. Liu Bing already had a good impression of Zhe Chi'er, so he wanted to explain and wake him up.It's not that I beat you, but that you lost first.But think again, no matter how good Zhe Chi'er is, he is a Qiang after all. If the two countries fight in the future, Zhe Chi'er's weakness will be an opportunity for the Han people.Then he only smiled faintly, bent over and saluted, then turned and left. Ke Erdada forced a smile and congratulated Liu Fuling. "The warriors of the Han Dynasty were really brilliant!" Liu Fuling didn't show any joy, and was still as indifferent as before, "Kungfu on the grassland is also very good, this is the first time I have seen such a superb wrestling and fighting skills." Because of his sincerity, the listener immediately felt his sincere praise. Kerdada thought that although Zhe Chi'er lost, it was because of their own kung fu, not because of the Han people's kung fu, and felt a little better, and said to Meng Jue, "I want to compete with you in the second round. .” Meng Jue originally thought that Kerdada was a prince, and he brought warriors with him on this trip, so he came prepared and would not end up in a competition, but unexpectedly, the other party invited him to fight. But since the other party had already spoken, he could only salute with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your enlightenment." Yun Ge didn't stand on the stage, but asked Liu Bingji with a smile: "Brother, what kind of kung fu are you good at? Some people in the audience watched eagerly for a long time, but still didn't have a clue. Brother, you are too 'secret' 'It's gone!" Liu Bing was already dissatisfied with Yun Ge's meddling, and said angrily, "If you have time, think about how you can lose some face later." "Too underestimated people, what if I win?" Liu Bing had seriously looked at Yun Ge from head to toe, and finally said: "After the banquet, go to see a doctor, sleepwalking is already very serious!" Yun Ge snorted and ignored him. After a while, she heard Liu Bing calling her again, and carefully told her: "Yun Ge, it's just a game, don't take it seriously. If you can't play it, remember to yell and stop playing." Yun Ge knew that he was worried about her, so she nodded, "I understand. Thank you for your concern, big brother." Liu Bingji snorted coldly: "There are enough people who care about you, so I don't bother to care about you. The emperor sits on top, and you will definitely not be in danger. I am concerned about Meng Jue's life. I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it. Violated the regulations and rushed to the stage to save people." Yun Ge sneered sarcastically, and stopped talking to Liu Bingji. While they were talking, Meng Jue had already started fighting with Ke Erdada. One with a sword and one with a knife. One's moves are elegant and nimble, like snow falling in the nine heavens, willows dancing with the wind; the other's moves are calm and fierce, like a tiger descending a mountain, or a long snake coming out of a cave. Liu Bing had been watching for a while, and his brows gradually frowned. The Qiang people have already lost one game, if Kerdada loses again, three games and two losses, even if Alia wins Yunge, then the Qiang people will also lose.In order to save the defeat, Ke Erdada even thought that he must win at any cost. Meng Jue and Ke Erdada's martial arts should be in the middle, but Meng Jue is very smart. Fighting is not only a contest of martial arts, but also a contest of intelligence, so Meng Jue has a seven-point chance of winning. Ke Keerdada's desperate style of play forced Meng Jue to play hard. Even if you win in the end, I'm afraid there will be a price... Yun Ge originally didn't want to watch the fight on the stage, but seeing Liu Bing's expression became more and more serious, he hurriedly cast his eyes on the stage. Looking at it, his brows gradually frowned. Those who watch it are hard, and those who are in it are even harder. Meng Jue hadn't expected that Kerdada's temperament would be so extreme and staunch, and as a prince, he would fight to the death. Where is this still a "click to stop" discussion?It is simply a fight between sworn enemies. What's more, there was another serious problem, that is, Keerdada could hurt him, but he couldn't hurt Keerdada.Kerdada hurt him and even killed him, but it was just an apology; if he hurt Kerdada, he gave the Qiang an excuse to instigate all tribes in the Western Regions to attack the Han Dynasty. He has lived in the Western Regions for a long time, and he has a very good understanding of the people in the Western Regions and the land bordering the Han Dynasty.Because of years of wars and the chaos of officials before the Han Dynasty, the officials of the Han Dynasty in the frontier regions oppressed and exploited all ethnic groups in the Western Regions very cruelly and harshly. Some countries in the Western Regions had deep grievances against the Han Dynasty.If it is known that the prince of the Qiang nationality came from afar to congratulate the Han Dynasty on the new year, but was injured by the officials of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that a small spark will turn into a prairie fire if one is not careful. Meng Jue's martial arts is mainly learned from killers in the Western Regions. His real kung fu is not suitable for long-term fighting at all. He focuses on killing opponents in the simplest and most energy-saving way. If it's really about killing people, Ke Erdada is not enough for Meng Jue to kill.But Meng Jue couldn't use any of the real ultimate moves, and could only rely on years of hard training to resolve Kerdada's ultimate move. Meng Jue's fight became more and more dangerous. One was merciless with the sword, and the other was always scruples about the sword. Several times, Ke Erdada's sword passed Meng Jue's vitals, scaring the female Highness to cry out. Meng Jue's sword was getting weaker and weaker by Kerdada. Ke Erdada fought for more than two hundred moves, but he was already very impatient. He narrowed his eyes slightly and showed a cruel smile. body, to prevent Meng Jue from piercing into his vitals, let his lower abdomen be exposed, and even if he was seriously injured, he wanted to kill Meng Jue under the knife. The machete cut straight across Meng Jue's neck at an extremely fast speed. But Meng Jue was sure to be faster than him. Although only a little, it was enough to switch the sword from his right hand to his left hand before his knife swept across his neck, taking advantage of Kerdada's mistake, and stabbing the sword into Kerdada's heart from an unexpected direction . Moment of life and death. Meng Jue's trained body had already made a choice before his mind. The right hand discards the sword, and the left hand receives the sword. There is no fancy, or even extremely ugly, one-stroke swordsmanship, just fast, unimaginably fast, so fast that people can't see clearly. The edge of the sword pierced Kerdada's heart. Kerdada suddenly realized that Meng Jue's left hand could also use a sword, and only then realized how slow Meng Jue's previous sword skills were! Meng Jue's eyes were extremely calm and ruthless. Ke Erdada thought of the lone wolf that scares hunters the most on the grassland.Lone wolves are the cubs who survived the slaughter of wolves by hunters. Once these cubs grow up, they will become the most cruel and ruthless lone wolves. Kerdada's pupils shrank suddenly, knowing that he had made a mistake. And the price of being wrong... It is death! One's knife was like a shooting star, and with the momentum of thunder, it slashed towards Meng Jue's neck. One's sword was like lightning, stealthy like a poisonous snake, stabbing silently at Ke Erdada's heart. Amidst the blood-thirsty coldness in Meng Jue's eyes, a trace of confusion and hesitation suddenly flashed, and... compassion? ! Keerdada couldn't believe it. Meng Jue suddenly pressed down the edge of the sword abruptly, avoiding Kerdada's heart, and pierced Kerdada's side rib with a sword. Ke Erdada's knife still slashed at Meng Jue's neck. But Meng Jue no longer had Keerdada in his eyes, and he no longer cared about this competition. He just looked away calmly and indifferently. At the last moment of his life, his eyes were full of indelible tenderness and constant concern. "don't want!" A scream, piercing heart and lungs. Ke Erdada woke up with a start, and suddenly withdrew his strength, and the knife barely stopped on Meng Jue's neck, and blood was already gushing out from under the blade. If he had withdrawn his force a little later, Meng Jue's head would have flown out, and at most his side would have been injured, or he would not have been injured at all, because Meng Jue's sword had just touched his skin and had stopped exerting force . The moment Meng Jue changed his blade, when the ending was decided, Meng Jue seemed to disdain to waste any more energy on this matter, and all his mind seemed to be poured into his eyes, staring elsewhere. Ke Erdada stared at Meng Jue in a daze, exploring and thinking about the man in front of him, and was shocked by the tenderness and concern in his eyes. Meng Jue noticed it immediately, and looked at Kerdada with a smile. The tenderness and concern in his eyes quickly dissipated, leaving only darkness, and no one could understand what he was thinking. Kerdada couldn't understand Meng Jue at all. In just a short moment, there were so many emotions in this man's eyes, so contradictory that he could hardly believe that he was seeing the same person. Ke Erdada suddenly wanted to know very urgently what this man was staring at. He immediately turned his head and followed Meng Jue's gaze just now. A woman stood blankly under the stage, her eyes wide open, she was fixedly looking at Meng Jue, her mouth was still half open, presumably the scream just now came from her mouth. There was worry, fear, and tears in her eyes. In Yun Ge's mind, the scene of Kerdada's knife slashing at Meng Jue was still reverberating. She didn't know if she screamed, but she just remembered that she seemed to jump up, rushed out, and then... She didn't know why she suddenly stood in front of the stage alone. What did she see in Meng Jue's eyes? She just felt that at that moment, everything she saw made her heart ache like a knife. But look at the past tense... Nothing at all. Meng Jue's eyes were as usual, calm and gentle, but dark without warmth. Yun Ge suddenly turned his head away. But met another person's line of sight. Liu Fuling sat alone on a high place, staring at her quietly. He saw everything just now, right? I saw my gaffe, I saw my loss of control, I saw everything. She couldn't see his expression clearly, but she was afraid of the cracks in his eyes. His rift will also be branded on her heart. She suddenly felt that standing here was very dazzling, and hurriedly retreated to the seat step by step, the guilt and sadness in her chest made her a little out of breath. But he saw him slightly shaking his head at her, signaling her not to do so. He could understand, and she seemed to feel the comfort in his eyes. Yun Ge's heart was mixed with bitterness and emotion, an unspeakable feeling. The whole hall was silent, and the drop of a needle could be heard. Many people didn't see what happened because they didn't understand martial arts, or because of the distance and angle. They just saw Meng Jue's sword piercing Kerdada's side ribs, and Kerdada's knife slashed at the On Meng Jue's neck. Only Yu An, who was condescending, saw everything clearly, and Liu Bing, who was sitting in front of him, understood a little bit through half-reading and half-guessing. Aaliyah didn't understand, her brother had already won, so why was he still in a daze? She stood up and said to Liu Fuling: "Your Majesty, Brother Wang's knife hit Meng Jue's vital point. If Brother Wang didn't stop the knife, Meng Jue would definitely die. Then even if Meng Jue's sword stabbed Brother Wang, it would only be light. Hurt brother Wang." Liu Fuling glanced at Yu An, and Yu An nodded.What Alia said was absolutely correct, except for a little bit, but this little bit could not be really understood by anyone except Meng Jue. Liu Fuling announced: "In this competition, the prince of the Qiang tribe won. I thank the prince for his mercy." Meng Jue lightly gave Ke Erdada a hand, then turned around and got off the stage. The imperial doctor rushed to meet him, and helped him stop the bleeding and bandage the wound. Kerdada's lips moved, but he couldn't say anything. Without any joy, he jumped off the stage and sat back in his seat. Liu Bing had already looked at Yun Ge, who was pale and in a daze, and then looked at Liu Fuling who was looking at him expressionlessly, and sighed: "Yun Ge, can you still compete? If not..." Yun Ge took a deep breath, pulled himself together, and said with a smile, "Why not? Now it's all up to me! Without me, what would you do?" Liu Bing smiled wryly, the situation that he thought was a sure win had gone wrong. "Yun Ge, don't force yourself!" Yun Ge smiled and nodded, and floated to the front of the stage like flowing clouds and flowing water. While touching the ground with one foot, he used his hands on the stage to borrow strength, and jumped up, like a crane flying lightly, and floated down on the stage. Seeing Yun Ge's posture on the stage, Alia nodded slightly.Yun Ge's movements are very beautiful and neat, obviously he has been instructed by experts, it seems that he is a person worthy of a fight. However, if Alia knows the truth is... The best martial art Yun Ge learned was the light body kung fu of jumping and moving, and the best light body kung fu was climbing trees and jumping over walls.And the pose on the stage just now seemed random, but in fact Yun Ge was sitting under the stage, from visual inspection to estimation, and went through all the things that her parents, brother, and friends had taught her in her mind. A pose that is the most "expressive" has been carefully selected. It is estimated that if Alia knew this, with her pride, she would immediately ask Liu Fuling to replace him and find someone worthy of a fight for her. Alia flicked the whip lightly, and the whip in her hand "cracked". "This is my weapon. What about yours?" Yun Ge scratched his head, frowned and thought, looking very embarrassed. Aaliyah was a little impatient: "Is this question difficult to answer? You can use whatever weapon you usually use." Yun Ge smiled apologetically: "I know how to use too many weapons, it's hard to decide at the moment. Hmm... let's use a scimitar!" Although the scimitar is the most commonly used weapon of the nomads, it is also extremely difficult to practice well. Yun Ge dared to use the scimitar to fight against the enemy. It seems that his martial arts are not weak.According to Yun Ge's words, her martial arts are still very extensive. Alia knows that she will be on guard when she encounters a master, and she doesn't dare to get angry easily. Yun Ge smiled again and said, "Han people seldom use scimitars, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to find them for a while. Can the princess lend me a suitable scimitar?" There was a scimitar hanging around Alia's waist, upon hearing this, she untied the scimitar from her waist without saying a word, and handed it to Yun Ge.Another layer of caution was added to my heart.Yun Ge is not only highly skilled, but also has a delicate mind, not leaving the slightest unnecessary crisis for herself. Liu Bing was a little dizzy. Yun Ge, she didn't lure the enemy to be careless, but was advancing step by step? Liu Bingji asked Meng Jue, who sat down after the wound was wrapped up, depressed, "What does Yun Ge want to do? Does she still think that his martial arts are not high enough?" Meng Jue didn't have her usual smile, and said with a straight face, "I don't know." Yun Ge took the scimitar and played with it in his hand. "Princess, the competition just now was really scary. The princess is so beautiful, she must not want to accidentally leave scars on her body and face. I am also in my prime, and I haven't sung the love song I learned to my sweetheart! Whether he accepts it or not , I don’t want to die without expressing the affection in my heart. We are not as good as Wendou! We can compete in martial arts and avoid unnecessary harm.” Hearing the contempt and disdain from the women's banquet behind him, Liu Bing was completely and completely dazed by Yun Ge. What exactly does Yun Ge want to do? But this is the first time I know that this girl is so good at telling nonsense with her eyes open.If she sings a love song, will anyone not accept it? Liu Bing smiled wryly. Thinking of her brother's competition just now, Alia glanced at the wound on Meng Jue's neck, feeling lingering fear in her heart. Although she is good at using the whip, the sharpness of the whip cannot compare with the scimitar after all.The scimitar in Yun Singer was a coming-of-age gift that her father found the best craftsman in Dashi to forge for her on her thirteenth birthday, and it was extremely sharp. Judging from Yun Ge's movement on stage just now, she must be very good at lightening her body, but because she was riding a horse since she was a child, she is very weak in getting off the ground. If Yun Ge really scratched his face... It's better to die! Moreover, Yun Ge's sentence "The love song I learned has not been sung to my sweetheart", touched her daughter's mind, and she felt that her thoughts were wandering, and her heart was half sad and half awakened.She has never sung her love song to her sweetheart, whether he accepts it or not, she should sing it to him at least once. If she was injured in the competition and her appearance was destroyed, then she would not have the courage to sing a love song. In this life, I am afraid that person will never know that there is another person... Aaliyah asked with a cold face: "What kind of literary battle?" Yun Ge said with a smile: "You stand on the side, and I stand on the side. You make one move, I make another move, and compete with each other. This way you can compete with each other without hurting each other." Hearing this, Meng Jue knew that Yun Ge had surrounded the princess, and said to Liu Bing who was still frowning and thinking, "If there is no accident, Yun Ge won." "Yun Ge's poor kung fu, why..." Liu Bing had a sudden epiphany, "Is Yun Ge's master or a relative or friend a master? Then no matter how bad her kung fu is, after all, she has seen it since she was a child, and she is smart. Remember There should be a lot of moves. So if she doesn't use her internal strength and is not forced by the opponent's moves, she can draw all those moves in a fake way." Meng Jue smiled lightly: "In her family, only she is an idiot, and the maids around her third brother can easily defeat Kerdada." Liu Bing was secretly startled, although he guessed that Yun Ge's background should be extraordinary, but this is the first time he knew it was so extraordinary!Suddenly, he became curious about what kind of people Yun Ge's parents were, and why Yun Ge ran to Chang'an alone. Alia thought about it for a while, and thought this idea was interesting, and it seemed to work: "In fighting, not only the moves, but also the speed. No matter how exquisite the moves are, if the speed is slow, it will be a dead end." Yun Ge hurriedly said: "The princess is very reasonable." She began to frown and think again. Alia was really too lazy to wait for Yun Ge, and said: "Use the water leak of your Han Dynasty to count the time. Make a move within three drops of water, if you can't, you will lose." Yun Ge smiled and said: "Good idea. It's settled like this. Which side does the princess want to choose?" Aaliyah was taken aback, I don't seem to agree yet?We seem to be just studying the feasibility of Wendou, how did it become a deal?But there was indeed nothing wrong, so he nodded silently and retreated to the side of the stage. Yun Ge also took a few steps back and stood on the other side. Two eunuchs carried a copper water funnel and placed it on the side of the table for timing. Yun Ge asked with a smile: "Who will make the move first? How about drawing lots. Of course, for the sake of fairness, we will each have one person to make the lottery..." Yun Ge's over-cautiousness has already made the bold and proud Alia unbearable, and said impatiently: "The victory or defeat does not depend on this move. I will let you go first." What Yun Ge was waiting for was her words. If Alia makes the first move, Yun Ge really doesn't have much confidence in herself. Although she has a lot of miscellaneous moves in her mind, but these moves are only seen, and she probably knows how to draw, but she has never had the experience of facing enemies, and she is not sure which moves can restrain which moves, and there is only three drops of water. If two or three are not sure, she will probably lose. However, once she is allowed to make the first move, everything will be very different. Alia thinks it doesn't matter who makes the first move first, it should be said that Alia's cognition is completely correct, but the set of saber techniques that Yun Ge is about to use was created by her third brother when he and A Zhu were fighting each other. That year, the third brother stayed in bed due to illness, and always played Go alone in his free time.It was during those days that Yun Ge really knew how to play Go. Before that, she always didn't like to play Go, thinking it was a waste of time.But because I want to relieve my third brother's boredom, I study and play seriously. The third brother promised Ah Zhu a year ago that he would compete with her once. In order to be able to compete with the third brother, Ah Zhu has practiced hard for many years. When his wish is about to come true, the third brother cannot act. Yun Ge originally thought that their agreement should be settled or postponed, but unexpectedly, the third brother is a person who keeps his promises and promises, and A Zhu is also a weird person, so the two still want to fight, but it is only a matter of time. moves.The third brother made a move on the couch, and Azhu stood aside to make a move. At the beginning, Azhu's counterattack was still extremely fast, but later on it became slower and slower. It even became Yunge and the third brother finished a game of Go before Azhu figured out how to make the next move. The move that A Zhu thought of hard, just swung it, but the third brother seemed to know it a long time ago, without even looking at it, he made the next move casually, A Zhu's face was ashen. Yun Ge, who was watching from the side, felt that Third Brother was too heartless, and A Zhu was so pitiful.The third brother played Go with her, ate the food she made, and drank the Youtan wine sent by the second brother.Ah Zhu thought about it for almost a day without eating or drinking. But the move that Azhu came up with, the third brother solved it with a simple gesture, Yun Ge just wanted to shout: "Third brother, take care of the girl's mood at least! At least pretend to think about it before making a move." The final result of the competition was that when Azhu conceived a move that he had thought about for three days and was smashed by the third brother with a wave, Azhu conceded. After Ah Zhu surrendered, the third brother asked Ah Zhu: "When do you think you should admit defeat? How much time have you wasted on me?" A Zhu replied: "Ten days ago, when the young master made his fortieth move." The third brother looked at A Zhu coldly: "Eleven days ago. When you made the ninth move, you should admit defeat. This is because I asked you to make the first move first this time. If I make the first move, You will lose within three moves." Azhu looked at the third brother dumbfounded. The third brother ignored Azhu and ordered Yunge to settle down. While playing chess with Yun Ge, the third brother said lightly: "Being sick in bed, there will be unexpected gains. When fighting with others, you usually see the opponent's moves and judge what you will do. After you have rich fighting experience, you can Predict what your opponent will do in the next five moves, even if you have entered the door of a master, if you can know ten moves, you are already a master. But if you can predict all the moves of your opponent, you can even let your opponent make moves according to your ideas Woolen cloth?" Ah Zhu looked at the chessboard of the third brother and Yun Ge with a seeming understanding. The third brother said again: "A game of moves is like a game of chess. If I set up a good game, I can figure out his moves. 'Tempt' and 'force'. Use your own flaws to 'trick' the opponent to make moves according to your wishes, or The rest of the roads are all dead ends. There is only one hidden door to 'force' the other party to make a move according to your wishes. You can use both 'seduction' and 'force', so wherever I want him to make a move, he will do what I want. He thinks it is broken I'm in my game, but I don't know that I've just entered my game." Yun Ge refused to accept it, and casually dropped a piece on the chessboard: "'Tempting' is easy to say, but it's herding sheep and catching wolves. Be careful that the sheep will be eaten by wolves and occupy the sheepfold by the way. As for 'force', no matter how good you are, It is also impossible to block all roads from the beginning." The third brother looked at Azhu and answered the question: "If you don't even have the ability to protect the sheep, it's not called fighting with others, it's called boring work! It's really not easy to block all roads when you meet a master , but I just need to let the opponent think that I have blocked all the roads. Besides..." The third brother slammed his hand heavily on Yunge's forehead, staring at Yunge impatiently, "You need to eat in one bite Is it? Couldn’t I keep four life gates at the beginning? He walks one out of four, I keep three, he walks one out of three, and I keep two..." "..." Yun Ge rubbed his forehead and glared at Third Brother angrily. Yun Ge still remembered that she asked the third brother very depressed afterwards: "My moves are all in your expectation, what are you going to play with me?" The third brother's answer made Yun Ge even more depressed: "Because you are stupid, no matter whether I'm 'seductive' or 'forced', you have the ability to turn a blind eye and just follow your own ideas. The door. The only joy of playing chess with you is to see how stupid a person can be!" Yun Ge looked indignant, but A Zhu who was standing aside looked at Yun Ge's Luozi, as if he had realized something. ... Azhu then condensed the third brother's moves into a set of sword techniques. This is why it is called "Eighteen Styles of Playing Chess" by Yun Ge. Yun Ge asked himself that he had no ability to lure his opponent into his own game within nine moves like the third brother, so he could only make moves first and set up a game on his own initiative. Alia raised her hand in a "please" gesture, signaling Yun Ge to make a move. Yun Ge really wanted to draw his sword as gorgeously as Ah Zhu, but... In order not to reveal the truth, let's pretend to be a master who has returned to the basics! Yun Ge drew out his knife just like ordinary people, and swung the first move of "Eighteen Styles of Chess": Please enter the game. As soon as Yun Ge swung out the move, Alia's eyelids twitched, and the only feeling was that she was glad that Yun Ge had proposed Wen Dou out of fear of death. In the shadow of swords all over the sky. Alia swung her whip into Yunge's game. wrong! It should be said that he entered the third brother Yunge's game. Alia on the stage felt as if she had been ambushed by the enemy. The latter move is blocked, and the former move cannot be advanced.There are wolves on the left and tigers on the right.One move starts slower than one move. Yun Ge still had a smile all over his face, making moves with ease and carelessness. Aaliyah's unintentional move speed has exceeded the time of three drops of water, but she is in the middle of the game, she only feels the murderous intent, and has no time to pay attention to him. But Yu An, Liu Bingji, Meng Jue, and His Highness's military generals were either mesmerized or terrified. They only felt that Yun Ge's moves were more subtle than the last, and they always felt that it was difficult to follow up. , but her next move made people feel unbelievable and wanted to applaud.All of them were engrossed in waiting to see what other amazing moves Yun Ge could make, they didn't care about winning or losing at all. Alia was forced to have nowhere to go by the saber intent, she only felt the killing intent in her chest, and her heart was shattered. With a cry of surprise, the whip dropped from his hand. Just look at her pale face, cold sweat, and crumbling body. Everyone was still engrossed in the competition, and didn't think about cheering and celebrating Yunge's victory at all. Yu An also sighed, regretting that Alia was too inexperienced to see Quan Yunge's sword skills. People who are addicted to martial arts will give up their lives to challe
