Chapter 11 Chapter Thirty-Eight

"You want to defeat me?" Xiyun smiled and looked at the little beauty in fiery red clothes. She had a face that had never been attacked by sorrow and sorrow, and eyes that were not stained with lust for power. She was as pure and beautiful as Dongcha Peak. The Langgan flower on the top was supposed to be high above the sky, so why was it born in the royal family? That kind of smile seemed to be encouraging, so Langhua couldn't help expressing her great ambitions: "I...I have been aspiring for seven years, I...I practice martial arts every day, and I have read many, many books... There are military books, "Xiyu Ji", "Strategy for the World", and... Anyway, there are many, I must use martial arts, military skills, and literary talents to defeat you! No! Now I have to add one more item, and I have to focus on appearance Beat you!"

"Hey!" As soon as the words came out, all the generals behind the two kings couldn't help but chuckled, and looked at Lang Hua, half amused, half disapproving. "Oh?" Xiyun smiled lightly again, "What is there in me that you can resolve to defeat in seven years?" "You... you actually say that? You... you don't know what you have that is worthy of my determination to defeat?" Lang Hua stammered, pointing at Xi Yun.At this time, her snowy face was flushed red, her watery almond eyes were wide open, and her cute appearance fascinated everyone.

"I really don't know what I have that others will aspire to defeat." Xi Yun said with a faint smile, her calm appearance showed that she really didn't care about it. "Too...too much!" Lang Hua's delicate and crunchy voice couldn't help but increase, "For so many years, you have been pressing on top of all the princesses, making everyone bow to your reputation, and people only need to mention the princess. , only you were thought of, and only you were mentioned, and the other princesses were all gray shadows, but you... you said you didn't care at all?! Too much! Really too much! Too much ! Pinlin! She is too much!" The more she said, the more angry she became, and the louder she spoke, and finally she turned around and grabbed the maid behind her, shaking her vigorously, "Pinlin..."

"Princess..." Pinlin murmured, looking down at the ground, but she didn't dare to look up at those people who seemed to be shining. "To be honest, I really didn't know that I had such a great reputation, that I could be a target." Xiyun's lips curled up slightly, and a playful light rose in her eyes, looking at the lovely girl in front of her Ren, "After you defeat me... well, what will happen to you?" "Beat you?" Lang Hua suddenly turned his head to look at Xi Yun, if he could defeat this dazzling person in front of him... just thinking about it, the corners of Lang Hua's mouth couldn't help curling up, his brows raised, his eyes sparkled Liang, unconsciously stretched his fingers into strange shapes, and held them tightly again, "If I beat you... If I beat you..." Lang Hua murmured, his whole body trembling because of this thought. Trembling slightly with excitement, if you beat her...if you beat her... His eyes moved unconsciously, and a handsome and elegant figure flashed into his eyes, in a daze, as if something flashed in his mind, he blurted out And said: "If I defeat you, you can recruit a perfect son-in-law like him!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned. After remembering what she said, they couldn't help turning their eyes to Lan Xi. After a while, all the generals bowed their heads, but their shoulders were shaking. And Pin Lin's head almost fell to the ground, and she kept complaining about her hard life, why she had such an outspoken master. "Oh!" After realizing what he said, Lang Hua covered his face reflexively and regretfully. How... how could you say such a thing?Shouldn't she have answered righteously: If you defeat you, it will prove that you are not the only one in the world!There are many, many excellent women!So she shouldn't spread the word all over the world arrogantly every time she does a big thing, let the people in all the countries and cities, and the people in the streets and alleys discuss her rumors with relish!

Xi Yun was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and then shifted her gaze to Lan Xi, not knowing what tricks this person had used against this innocent person, but seeing him seemed quite surprised, and she couldn't help smiling teasingly. "Princess wants King Xi to be the son-in-law?" Xi Yun moved forward a few steps, raised her hand to remove Lang Hua's hand that was tightly covering her face, only to see that several red fingerprints had been left on the snowy tender skin. "No...it's not...you...you don't...don't misunderstand!" Langhua raised his hand to grab Xiyun, and stammered to explain, "I...um..." Langhua closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then He said vigorously, "He's your husband, so I won't want it! I'm just making an analogy, I just want to recruit an excellent consort like him!"

"Oh." Xiyun nodded slightly, as if she had just realized, her fingertips touched the red fingerprints on Langhua's face pitifully, and smiled softly, "So the princess wants to recruit a good son-in-law." Her eyes rolled slightly Turning around, the light in his eyes flickered like a reflection of a mirror lake, "Then... what do you think of these generals? They can be said to be the best of the best in the two countries. They are all handsome and talented. Do you like it?" After saying that, he turned slightly sideways and pointed at the generals behind him with one hand, and the other hand seemed to rest on the smooth and soft snow skin with some nostalgia.

"I...I..." Langhua stared blankly at Xiyun who was close in front of him, so close, Feng Xiyun, who had always existed only in legends, was within reach at this moment!Such a handsome and unparalleled face, such clear and smiling eyes, and the cool fingertips gently caressing the face, there are waves of numbness, itching, softness and crispness, but it feels very comfortable and comfortable, under the scorching sun, As if bathing in the cool breeze, the sweltering heat was all driving away, such a clear and joyful voice rang softly in his ears... In a daze, Lang Hua thought, if this Wind King is a man, then it would be perfect to be a son-in-law!

"What does the princess say?" Xiyun introduced all the seven generals except Cheng Zhi, but the eyes of this person in front of him were tightly locked on her body, and his face was red and white at times. Could it be that he didn't like it? "Ah?" Lang Hua looked at Xi Yun, as if he didn't understand what Xi Yun said. Xiyun blinked slightly, took Langhua's hand with a smile, and walked towards the generals, "Princess, will you choose one of our generals to be a son-in-law?" Her gaze fell on Langhua softly like a veil On her body, the smile on her face was so bright that even the bright sun in the sky paled, her voice was low and clear like a singing from the deep valley, with some kind of enchanting power, "Does the princess like it?"

Such eyes engulfed the heart and soul like a soft net, such a smile made one not to be disobedient in the slightest, and that soft voice pulled ahead, Lang Hua nodded involuntarily: "En." Those clear eyes became brighter, and the smile became brighter. He lifted his slender hands slightly, as if drawing a beautiful scene between the sky and the earth, "Then, do you like this General Xiu?" "Yeah." Lang Hua nodded obediently as before, keeping his eyes on the flawless smiling face in front of him that seemed to have absorbed all the elegance of everything. "Then... this king will marry you to General Xiu." Xi Yun said softly, turned her head to look at everyone present, and the bright smile on her face lit up everyone's eyes.

"En." Lang Hua nodded again as if his soul had drifted away from his body. "Wang... Wang... don't..." Xiu Jiurong, who was stunned by the "good news" that fell from the sky, finally woke up when the generals turned their slightly sympathetic eyes. "Huh?" Xiyun frowned, looked at Xiu Jiurong, "Jiurong, are you going to disobey the king's order?" "Jiurong never!" Xiu Jiurong replied immediately, with blood rising slowly on his face. "That's good." Xiyun nodded, "After the war is over, I will hold a grand wedding for you." "But... lord, I... I..." Xiu Jiurong looked at Xiyun, but couldn't get out what he was about to say. With his mouth open, a red cloud appeared on his delicate face, his eyes seemed to be begging, but helpless looked at his king helplessly.The three Fengyun generals next to him have long been used to it, but the Mo Yuqi generals still can't associate the shy and introverted handsome young man in front of him with the cold and ruthless iron-blooded general on the battlefield who doesn't even blink. "I..." There was a person on the side who seemed to have just woken up from a dream, looking at everyone with puzzled eyes, "I just..." "The princess just selected General Xiu Jiurong of our country as her son-in-law." Xi Yun turned her head and looked at Lang Hua with a smile, "You two are a perfect match, I am really happy." "I...choose a son-in-law?" Lang Hua turned his eyes to Pin Lin, as if to ask for proof, and couldn't help screaming after seeing her nod, "I just chose a son-in-law? How...how is it possible?!" "You are the princess of the Bai Kingdom, don't tell me you don't keep your promise?" Xi Yun smiled, looking at Lang Hua with a slightly cold face.In an instant, the amiable Feng Wang just now disappeared, replaced by a cold, dignified and inviolable Feng Wang! "I... I... This princess can't count her words!" Seeing Xi Yun's gaze, Lang Hua couldn't help but tighten his heart, and then said loudly. "That's it." A soft smile appeared on Xiyun's face again, "Just now the princess promised to get married, and everyone present has witnessed and heard it personally, so from now on, the princess is the wife of General Xiu of our country. After the battle is over , this king will hold a wedding ceremony for you personally." "I... I just..." The words Lang Hua was about to blurt out were shot back into his stomach by Xi Yun's eyes again. "Princess, what else do you want to say?" Xiyun asked gently, her gaze swept to Xiu Jiurong who was still blushing, "What about you, Jiurong?" "I……" Langhua and Xiu Jiurong spoke at the same time, but when they saw the other party couldn't help but stop talking and looked at each other, Jiurong quickly moved his head, his face seemed to be even redder.And Langhua...seeing that beautiful face...the scar that divided this face in two, for some reason, felt a dull pain in her heart, as if...that wound was cut on her heart! "If there is nothing to say, then the matter is settled." Xiyun smiled and nodded, as if quite satisfied with the reaction of the two, she took off a string of light blue crystal chains from her wrists, and took another piece from her waist Cangshan Jade Pendant, "These two are the tokens of engagement that this king bestows on you." After finishing speaking, he put the light blue crystal chain on Langhua's white and tender wrist, and under the reflection of the sun, it shone with colorful light. "It's very beautiful." Xiyun looked at Langhua with a satisfied smile, turned around to look at Xiu Jiurong, and spread his palms, "Jiurong, this king gave you this." The oval, snow-like Cangshan Mountain There is a little vermilion in the center of the white jade, which looks like the bright red heart of Cangyu, and also like a drop of blood and tears that Cangyu has shed since ancient times. Jiurong raised his head, took a deep look at his king, then bowed his head respectfully and took it: "Jiurong thank you for the gift." "Why did you decide on a marriage all of a sudden?" Duanmu Wensheng, who was watching quietly from the side, murmured to himself.The other generals also felt the same way. They thought they would watch a wonderful decisive battle between Princess Bai and Queen Feng, but who knew... "You haven't seen the old Bai Fengxi, that's why it's strange." Ren Chuanyun smiled in admiration, his eyes fell on the smiling Feng Wang, and he seemed to see the old man who teased the heroes of the Six Kingdoms Bai Fengxi. Promise Princess Langhua to Xiu Jiurong?Ren Chuanyu rubbed his chin and thought deeply, is this just a farce-style engagement of Bai Fengxi?Looking forward, Lan Xi, who has been standing outside and watching quietly with a smile, in his eyes, is this just a very casual engagement? "Liu Yun, take care of Princess Langhua." Xi Yun instructed Liu Yun who was standing outside the circle. "Yes." Liu Yun bowed in response. "I've practiced for half a day today, and I'm really tired, so I'll take my leave first." Xi Yun saluted Lan Xi slightly. "Feng Wang, please go ahead." Lan Xi gracefully returned a salute. After watching Xiyun lead Fengyun Fourth General to leave, Lan Xi glanced over Lang Hua who seemed to be a little unresponsive, with an intriguing smile on his face, then turned and walked towards his king's tent, Mo Yu Fourth General, Ren Chuan The rain followed. All the people in the teaching field left, leaving only Langhua's master and servant standing there, and Liu Yun, the female official of Fengguo who was ordered to house them. "Pinlin, why am I engaged?" Lang Hua murmured to his personal maid while looking at the crystal chain on his wrist that was about to drip. "I don't know." Pinlin frowned in distress Night, sparse stars and pale moon. It's half past midnight, but the wind king's tent is still lit with lights. "Xi'er, why haven't you slept so late?" Stepping into the tent silently for a long time, I saw Xiyun sitting in front of the table, as if he had never heard of his arrival, holding a purple brush in his hand, as if contemplating something, suddenly waved his wrist, and the ink was dripping on the jade paper in an instant . "Picturesque rivers and mountains, blazing with smoke. Gold and iron horses, fighting for the master's ups and downs. Relying on the sky and bearded with long swords, dancing in the middle of the night, swearing to mend the sky! Heavenly horses come from the west, and they are all in the hands of the clouds. Holding the tiger talisman and holding the jade dragon, the feathered arrow shoots through, The boundless mountain is missing! Daoist man is as determined as iron to death. Blood washes mountains and rivers, grass covers white skeletons, not afraid of dust drowning in ashes, loyal heart reflects Qingming!" Jiuwei looked at her pen, and read out each word gently, when the last word was finished, he raised his eyebrows, looked up at Xi Yun with a look of amazement on his face, and said after a long time: "Good momentum! " Xiyun smiled faintly, put the pen back on the pen stand, and looked up at Jiu Wei: "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" But Jiu Wei didn't answer her, stretched out his hand to pick up the paper on the table, looked it over carefully and said: "Your "Treading the Clouds" has always had four faults, why don't you finish it?" "Fourth Que..." Xiyun's eyes narrowed, she looked at the piece of paper in Jiuwei's hand, and then said slowly: "If you want to read it, I will write it for you to read." As she spoke, she spread out another piece of jade silk paper , mentioned Zihao and continued to write: "When the red building and clear water re-enter the painting, it will call for the slender moon. The clear sound of the empty valley and the peach blossom water are always scattered when the rain hits the wind and blows the clouds." After reading it, I was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed after a long time: "Xi'er..." "This is just a boring work, so why should Jiuwei care about it?" Xiyun folded the last corner in half, then rubbed her palms, and it turned into powder and sprinkled on the table. Looking at her silently, Jiu Wei put the white paper back on the table after a while, and said casually: "I heard that you gave the Princess Langhua of Bai Kingdom to General Xiu." "Heh..." A sly smile floated on Xiyun's face, "That one, she chose it, how could it be said that it was given by me." "Do you want to protect her?" Jiu Wei asked suddenly. "Huh?" Xi Yun seemed a little surprised by Jiu Wei's words, and smiled with emotion after a while, "Jiu Wei can actually see it." "Those who don't know you don't know what you do." Jiuwei sighed slightly, "Is this Princess Langhua worthy of you?" "She..." Xiyun tilted her head slightly, thinking of that Huoxia-like person, she couldn't help showing a smile full of interest, "What I think in my heart, what I say in my mouth, what I think in my head, what I express on my face... ...Like a pure white and flawless Langgan flower, it has not been stained with the slightest vulgarity. It is so pure that it is unbearable. If it is returned to Baidu, the flower will also wither when the country is broken and the city is destroyed If you keep the bloody mud...and use it...then this flower will no longer be a Langgan flower!" "Giving a marriage...it's really not something you would do." Jiu slightly shook his head, "Are they willing?" "Heh..." Xi Yun seemed to think of something funny and smiled softly, "That Langgan flower likes Jiurong, you can tell from the way she looks at Jiurong...that kind of slightly painful eyes , but she certainly doesn't know it yet." "Slightly painful?" Jiuwei frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled. "Yes, when she looked at Jiurong's face, there was pain in her eyes, that's because..." Xiyun paused for a while, then raised her head and sighed, "Because her heart is hurting, and her heart is for Jiurong It hurts because of the injury... Such a person, there is such a flawless heart in this world... How can I not be perfect!" "Does it hurt because of the person in your heart..." Jiu Wei also said with some emotion, "It's just... I heard that Jiu Rong almost killed her when he broke through the Dingcheng, did Jiu Rong treat her the same?" "Jiu Rong..." Xi Yun held back the slight smile on her face, her eyes fell on her waist inadvertently, the Cangshan jade pendant hanging there was no longer there, and she lightly pressed her hand on the empty waist, a moment later she Only then continued, "He needs such a flower that can concentrate all his anger!" "It seems perfect, but will Princess Langhua stay obediently?" Jiu Wei asked looking at Xi Yun's dazed expression. "That, don't worry about it, someone will let her stay obediently." Xiyun retracted her mind and smiled indifferently. "So... what about you?" Jiu Wei locked her eyes tightly, "Where are you and King Xi?" "I... I made a marriage alliance with King Xi in front of thousands of subjects. It is... a promise that life and death will not be destroyed." Xiyun smiled faintly with downcast eyes. "Xi'er, now..." Jiu Wei hesitated to speak, looked at Xi Yun, and finally just sighed slightly after a long time. "Jiu Wei, I'm hungry, you can make me a supper." Xiyun didn't ask what Jiu Wei had said, or she knew what he was going to say, or she didn't want to know what he said. "Okay." Jiu Wei nodded helplessly, turned around and walked outside the tent. "I'll go with you." Xiyun followed him out of the king's tent, and the guards standing outside the tent respectfully saluted their king. After passing around a few camps, I heard a faint singing, like the ethereal singing of the night god. "Wen Jun came to the Western Regions with wine, and I opened the chaimen to sweep the canopy path. First steal the Dragon King's luminous cup, and then pick the Tianshan Wannian Ice. It is still facing the water to illuminate the hibiscus, and the blue hair is still smoked from the eyebrows. Take out the dusty and burnt-tailed qin, and put on makeup Wearing my Xiangqi skirt. Opening the throat to break the general's order, and the green Luo dances out the water lotus..." Hearing the faint singing, the two couldn't help but stop slightly. After a while, Xi Yun sighed with some emotion: "It's so late... Qiwu is still awake." But Jiu Wei listened to the lyrics seriously, then turned to look at Xi Yun and said, "This is your "Drunken Song"." "Drunk song...that was a drunk song from a long time ago." Xi Yun looked up at the night sky, looking at the slightly dim stars and moon, with a vague expression on her face, as if sinking into a certain time and space of memory, Feeling happy and sighing. And they were obviously not the only people who slept that night, Princess Langhua's master and servant lived about ten tents away from Fengwang's tent. When all the shock, excitement, and strangeness settled down, Langhua finally remembered the fact that she was a prisoner of Feng and Fengguo at this time, and an emotion more complicated than panic arose in her mind in an instant, which made her feel uneasy. She fidgets.Immediately afterwards, all kinds of complex emotions such as excitement, regret, anger, confusion, etc. generated by all the things she saw, heard, and experienced during the day flooded into her mind at the same time, making her sleepless.Sometimes walking around in the tent, sometimes sitting down with a bang, sometimes lying on his back, sometimes turning around and covering his face with the quilt, sometimes moaning, sometimes talking to himself without knowing what he meant , a little bit of a sweet smile for a while... just spent the night like this. As for Pinlin, the injury on her back was not fully healed, and she was really tired after a day of tossing around, so she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed. On August 21st, Feng and Feng's armies suddenly split up about a hundred miles away from King Bai's capital. Feng Wang led Feng Yun to ride to the left and came straight to Cuocheng. King Xi led Mo Yuqi to move forward and approached the capital of King Bai. In history, countless speculations have been made about the division of the Feng and Feng armies, which have been attacking together since the day the soldiers were sent out. There are praises and criticisms. A simple sentence: Feng Wang said: "I took the three cities of Cuo, Yu, and Luan, how about you taking Baidu?" Xi Wang said: "Yes." At Maoshi on August 22, Fengguo Moyu rode to the outside of Baidu City, but King Xi did not send his army to attack the city, but ordered the whole army to camp and rest for three days. On the same day, Fengguo Fengyun rode to the outside of Cuocheng. At Sishi on the same day, King Feng ordered to attack the city. At the end of Shenshi, Cuocheng was broken, and the Baifeng flag flew high above the tower of Cuocheng. And in the southeast of the Eastern Dynasty Empire, the Imperial Kingdom's Fighting Heaven Cavalry and the Hua Kingdom's Golden Clothes Cavalry also launched a large-scale attack. Xiao Xuekong, Qiu Jiushuang, Huaguo Hua Naran, Hua Jingran, and Hua Suran each led 50,000 gold-clothed cavalry to attack Wangyu's Steroid City and Zan City separately. On the other hand, the Dynasty and Huang Yu each led an army of 100,000 from different cities and attacked Jiancheng and Shengcheng respectively. Outside Jiancheng City, Huang Yu was sitting alone in the tent of the commander of the imperial army, looking at the map of the entire Eastern Empire in front of him. Most of the east and south were surrounded by Zhubi, which meant that it had already belonged to the imperial kingdom. "General, there is an urgent report!" The head of the tent rang out a slightly hasty voice. All the soldiers in the imperial kingdom are accustomed to addressing Huang Yu as a general. Perhaps in their subconscious minds, they only address him as a prince when they address him as the son of the imperial dynasty, but now they all call him "king". "Come in." Huang Yu's eyes moved from the map to the tent door. "General, the prince of Hua Guo sent someone to send an urgent report, requesting to send troops to the city of Yan for support!" A young general entered the account, respectfully holding the urgently sent distress letter from the Hua army. "Ask for help?" Huang Yu frowned, took the distress letter from Mr. Hua Guo without paying much attention, read it briefly, and then put it on the case, "Li Xian, who is guarding the city?" "It's Dong Taoye, the son of General Dong Shuzhang!" Li Xian replied. "The son of General Dongshu..." Huang Yu murmured to himself, "The son of the last loyal general of the Eastern Empire seems to be capable." "The king's territory can be maintained to this day, thanks to the great general of the East. The so-called tiger father has no dogs, this Dong Taoye did not disgrace his father's prestige, but with only 15,000 defenders, he defeated the three sons of the Hua Kingdom." The Wan army attacked the city four times, and in the last battle, they defeated the Golden Cavalry with a fire and thunder array, annihilating 20,000 enemies!" Li Xian said calmly, but it was not hard to hear his admiration for Dong Taoye and his appreciation for Hua in the final battle. The contempt of the third son of the country. "Dong Taoye, um, I will remember this name." Huang Yu slightly raised his eyes, and those golden brown pupils were shining brightly in an instant. "Who will the general send to support?" Li Xian asked with his head bowed. Huang Yu ignored his question, and turned his gaze to the topographic map of Jiancheng hanging on the tent wall. After inspecting it for a long time, he turned around with his hands behind his back and said, "The left side of Zhancheng is Shicheng, the right is Jiancheng, Xiao Since the two generals, Qiu and Qiu, have gone to Shicheng, they will be able to break through the city in a short time, and when this general captures Jiancheng, then the left and right will attack, and the city of Jiancheng will be in the bag!" "But at this time, the three young masters may not wait until the general captures Jiancheng, and they will already be in the east..." Li Xian raised his head to look at his superior brother. Huang Yu waved his hand to interrupt Li Xianzhi's words, "Rewrite the book for this general: I am too weak to go to reinforce the princes for the time being, so please slow down the attack on the city, and I will go as soon as I capture Jiancheng to help the princes break through the city. !" "General?" Li Xian looked puzzled. It didn't seem like such a decision came from the fourth son of the emperor, who was known for his frankness and enthusiasm, and was known as the "thunderstorm" of the imperial kingdom! You must know that the Chinese army is completely at a disadvantage at this time, Dong Taoye will not let go of this good opportunity, and will take advantage of the victory to pursue the Chinese army. When the Chinese army loses in a row, their morale will be low and they will be vulnerable. , the three sons are even more in danger of dying!Huang Yu had to be ignorant of this situation, but he still refused to send troops to reinforce him. Could it be... Thinking of this, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a shiver all over his body, and a chill rose slowly from the bottom of his heart! "Just revise the book according to what the general said!" Huang Yu raised her eyebrows and said solemnly. "Yes!" Li Xian bowed his head and stepped back. After Li Xian left, Huang Yu lowered his head and took off the sword hanging from his waist. This was the "Chao Sun" sword bestowed by his brother Wang himself before the expedition.Pulling it out gently, the bright sword light flashed instantly, illuminating those drooping eyes, and clearly illuminating the haze in them. "Chaori." Huang Yu whispered softly as if calling for a friend, flicked the blade of the sword with his fingers, and immediately fainted a dragon chant. Brother Wang, I will only be loyal to you in this lifetime!Only take your wish as my wish!The younger brother will do everything he can to help you take hold of this world!Even if... it's doing something I don't like to do!
