Chapter 180 Chapter 8: Battle behind closed doors

Xiang Shaolong remained motionless, and shouted in a deep voice: "I, Wan Ruiguang, have never toasted with people who are either enemies or not friends, so the wine can be avoided. If there is anything that the lord has to do, please let me know!" The entire banquet hall immediately fell silent, and everyone could feel the tense atmosphere.King Qilan snorted coldly and glared at King Yelang angrily.Chunshen Jun, who was supposed to speak out to resolve it, took his time off, with an attitude of watching the fire from the other side.Li Quan and Cheng Suning showed pale faces, they obviously knew that King Yelang would seek Xiang Shaolong to make trouble at the banquet.

That Yelang Prince Hua Qi stared at Xiang Shaolong with a murderous look on his face. King Yelang nodded, and after saying "yes" twice, he looked at Xiang Shaolong with stern eyes and said, "I heard that Wan Ruiguang praised you in front of the Queen Mother today, and openly expressed your desire to After hearing the order of the Dian king Li Ling, Xiao Wang was very surprised. Wan Ruiguang, you have only fifty troops in your hands, and you are powerless to protect women and children, so I want to ask you what kind of ability you have to dare to make such wild words. Wan Ruiguang, can you explain a thing or two."

These words immediately caused Yelangren, Li Quan, Huang Zhan and others to burst into laughter, trying their best to ridicule and humiliate them. After the laughter, the lobby was immediately silent, filled with the smell of gunpowder that was about to explode. Li Quan, Cheng Suning, Huang Zhan, Huang Ba and other core figures of the opposing faction all showed their colors, watching Yelang Wang Huaciwa openly humiliate Xiang Shaolong. Xiang Shaolong is used to big scenes, and he doesn't even pay attention to Lu Buwei, Tian Dan and other characters. How could he be afraid of a little prince who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth? In the palace of the Dian king, and he didn’t change his surname to Li Ling, did Hou Wang get drunk after three cups of wine?”

King Yelang was at a loss for words at the time, and when he was about to speak, Li Yuan laughed and said, "King Huaci Wahou not only made a mistake, but also usurped the power of my great Chu monarch, and privately granted traitors. What is the relationship between this traitor who betrayed the Lord and ruined the country?" These words are even more difficult to stop. You must know that although Li Ling usurped the throne of Dian king, although he had the acquiescence of King Xiaolie, he never publicly acknowledged it.At this moment, even Chunshen Jun, a cunning and calculating person, had difficulty interjecting for a while.

Qilan King is the mortal enemy of King Yelang, and said: "You have usurped the throne in the future, Hua Ciwa, it seems that this king can also enjoy the fun of awarding the throne privately." Yelang Wang became ashamed and said angrily: "Whoever sits on the throne of Dian King now is the absolute lord of Dian Kingdom. This is an indisputable fact. Only ignorant people will care about the matter of status." Everyone felt that he was at the end of his words. Lord Longyang said with a "coquettish smile": "Hou Wang's words are wrong. The so-called name is not right, and the words are not right. Li Lingzheng's name is not right, so the Hou Wang's words are not right. This is what the sages said. Are the sages also ignorant? ?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Xiang Shaolong was stunned.Because Lord Longyang represents the king of Wei, and his status is respected, what he said naturally represents the position of the state of Wei.It is surprising that people are now clearly opposed to Li Ling being the king of Dian. Han Chuang said with a smile: "Longyang Lord's words are justified, how can a traitor who betrays the master and the country be on the orthodoxy." Lord Chunshen and the others all looked at each other, unexpectedly, the representatives of Wei and Han would taunt King Yelang in every possible way.

The dozen or so masters accompanying King Yelang all put their hands on the hilt of their swords, as if they were choosing someone to devour. Guo Kai was at a loss, and didn't understand why Longyang Jun and Han Chuang wanted to "help" Wan Ruiguang. Xiang Shaolong saw that Hui Shanrou was full of energy, his hands started to itch, and he said with a smile, "Now, apart from a sword and a few servants who don't know how to betray their masters, Xiang Shaolong can't bring out anything that can be seen by others. Not much, if Hou Wang is interested, why not send someone out to see what I am capable of, isn't it more straightforward?"

No one expected that he would take the initiative and fight openly. The hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling. The loudest sound was King Yelang's breathing. Obviously, his lungs were about to explode. With a shout, Hua Qi, the third prince, jumped out from King Yelang's banquet. He lifted an ax in each of his left and right hands, and the two axes struck each other. After a crisp sound, he shouted: "Hua Qi, the third son of King Yelang, Wan Ruiguang, please enter the competition." Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed, he was about to go out and injure this son severely, but he didn't know that Jing Shan in the backseat was itching more than his hands, he rushed out and bowed and said: "Villain Wan Shan, please give me permission to go to the battle."

But Xiang Shaolong was secretly happy, first of all because Jing Shan's skill was second only to Jing Jun, so he could deal with this son; secondly, because of killing this son, he would not provoke Princess Qilan Na Caicai to accompany him late troubles. However, he still refused to let Chunshen Jun go, and said to him with a smile: "Your Majesty, you should understand that this martial arts competition is not an ordinary contest. Blood is shed and killed at every turn, which spoils the joy of the feast, and maybe there will be a group fight , so if Your Majesty objects, I will not accept the challenge."

King Yelang thought that Xiang Shaolong was timid, and said coldly: "Life and death are fate, if Wan Ruiguang, you have the ability to damage half a hair of my child, I, Huaciwa, will never be entangled in this matter." How could Jun Shenjun ruin the plan for tonight because of Xiang Shaolong's two words, he laughed and said: "Since the third prince is so interested, how can Huang Xie be a spoiler, General Wan, please make up your own mind." Hua Qi moved the ax in a fancy way, and he lifted the weight as if it were light, and shouted violently: "If Wan Ruiguang, you kowtow and admit your mistake, this fight will be over."

Xiang Shaolong laughed and said: "Okay!" After making a gesture to Jing Shan, he said: "Swords have no eyes! Everyone must be careful!" Jing Shan was overjoyed, he rushed out with a stride, came ten steps ahead of Hua Qi, the sword was still in the sheath. Huang Zhan stood up suddenly and shouted: "Wait a minute!" Everyone looked at him in astonishment. Xiang Shaolong took the opportunity to sweep around the audience, looking for the trace of Shan Rou, and saw that the maidservants were all standing behind the table, standing with the generals of the Chunshen Lord's Mansion, how could he find this cunning and wise girl in a short time . Huang Zhan's voice came and said: "If General Wan loses this round, will he order his subordinate Erlang to play to die?" These two sentences are too compelling, now even people who don't know know that Chun Shenjun and Yelang are working together to oppress Xiang Shaolong. But not many people dared to speak out, only King Qilan sneered: "This match has not yet been decided, is it too early for Mr. Huang to say?" After Xiang Shaolong and Li Yuan looked at each other and smiled, the former lazily said, "What is Mr. Huang's opinion?" Huang Zhan shouted violently: "Why don't you compete with me next time?" Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Young master Shaoan is irritable, after watching this scene, let's talk about it, let's start the competition!" Hua Qi got impatient with the early wait, and when he heard the words, he let out a roar like Jiao Lei, raised his two axes together, extremely powerful, swiped a series of chops, and swept towards Jing Shan like a huge wave, it was really impossible The brave general of the first life, everyone was moved, even Li Yuan was worried about Jing Shan, and Na Caicai held her chest, extremely nervous. Jing Shan was unafraid, the long sword struck out with lightning, the dexterity was like a poisonous snake coming out of the hole, and the calm and swift momentum was like wind and clouds.Picking, parrying, slashing or stabbing, each sword is aimed at the opponent's flaws and weaknesses, coupled with the light footwork that flashes like flying, full of dance beauty, all the moves used are hard-blocking and counter-attacking. The sound of clashing axes and swords is endless, Jing Shan advances and retreats quickly, but Hua Qi can't take advantage of it. Yelangren and Chunshenjun and others immediately changed their colors. Unexpectedly, Xiang Shaolong sent someone out casually, and they could be evenly matched with Hua Qi, who is known as the number one warrior in Yelang.Moreover, his arm strength is stronger than Hua Qi's but not weaker, so why not be terrified. At this time, Hua Qi's vigor was gone, and the ax was heavy and exhausted, he stagnated for a while, one after another, Jing Shan's sword flared violently, forcing Hua Qi to take two steps back. Hua Qi's face was greatly damaged, and he was furious, desperate to fight back. Jing Shan let out a long laugh, the lightning moved forward, and hit the ax that was swinging towards his left temple with the hilt of the sword, and swung Hua Qi's sharpest right ax away with extreme danger. Let Hua Qi's left-handed ax sweep across the top, and the long sword in his hand turned into an electric glow, shooting obliquely at Hua Qi's chest from below like a thunderbolt. Hua Qi's soul was dissipated, the twin axes flew out, and he retreated violently.Jing Shan returned the scabbard, and watched Hua Qi retreat coldly. From the beginning of the fight between the two, the arena has been completely silent. At this time, everyone's eyes are focused on Hua Qi, knowing that he has been seriously injured, but they don't know whether his life will be endangered. Hua Qi took another two steps back before letting out a heart-piercing scream and falling to the ground with a bang. Yelang Wang suddenly stood up and shouted, "My child!" The Yelang people came out in a crowd early on, and rushed out to see Hua Qi lying on the ground, only to see blood gushing out from the chest and abdomen like a spring. Jing Shan returned to her seat as if nothing had happened, and when she passed by Na Caicai, she hugged her, kissed his big mouth, and then let him go. At this time Chun Shenjun, Huang Zhan and others all left the table to see Hua Qi. Suddenly, King Yelang uttered an earth-shattering scream, stood up beside Hua Qi, and pointed his halberd: "Wan Ruiguang! I want you to pay me back ten thousand times the revenge of killing my son." Most of the people in the arena showed disdain, and looked down on what he said just now that life and death are fate, and he will never pester him, and now he broke his promise immediately. Chun Shenjun personally pulled King Yelang back to the banquet, and Hua Qi's body was carried out through the back door, but the ground was still stained with blood, which was shocking. The atmosphere of the banquet was gone, but no one blamed Xiang Shaolong, because it was all caused by King Yelang and Jun Shen.At this time, everyone knew that the good show was yet to come. Qi Lan Wang broke the silence, looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "General Wan has such a brave subordinate, I'm glad to congratulate him, recovering the land of Yunnan will be just around the corner." King Yelang glared at King Qilan with fiery eyes, too angry to speak. Huang Zhan came back from the back hall, put his hand on the hilt of his sword, came to the center of the field, and said in a deep voice, "Wan Ruiguang! It's your turn and mine." Li Yuanqi said: "This matter is really strange. It is obviously a matter between the Dian Kingdom and the Yelang Kingdom, but why does Mr. Huang act like someone has harmed his parents? My hands are itchy too, why don't you Let me play with you son!" As soon as this remark came out, everyone including Chunshenjun changed their expressions, knowing that Li Yuan had officially broken with Chunshenjun. Huang Zhan knew that his swordsmanship was not as good as Li Yuan's, so he could only endure his breath, and said coldly: "This is none of Li Xiang's business, Wan Ruiguang! Do you want someone else to fight on your behalf?" Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Young Master Huang is in a rage, it's really not suitable for a martial arts contest, not to mention that I once said that unless your superior agrees, I will never fight with you." Everyone's eyes naturally shifted to Mr. Chunshen.Mr. Chunshen, however, knows that he is suffering, and now it is clear that if he does not act, it is a situation where life and death are divided before he can let go.This Wan Ruiguang's subordinates are already so powerful, and he himself is even more unfathomable.But the problem is that King Yelang has lost a son, if he doesn't let Huang Zhan play, how will he explain to him. I can't help but hate that I didn't launch a surprise attack sooner. Under the current situation, if I use assassination means, everyone in the world will look down on me. In fact, although he had made arrangements tonight, it was mainly for precautionary measures, not to kill Xiang Shaolong and Li Yuan on the spot, but to wait until dawn before cooperating with Dou Jie to mobilize.Otherwise, if Li Yuan is killed like this, it is hard to guarantee that Li Yanyan will not immediately order the guards to launch a counterattack. When his thoughts turned, Huang Zhan had already said: "Father, please allow the child to fight!" Jun Shen sighed secretly, nodded and said, "Be careful, baby!" Everyone in the arena immediately cheered up, most of them wanted to see Huang Zhanshou take the lead under Xiang Shaolong's sword.This person has always relied on his father's favor and protection, rampant in Shouchun, his hands are stained with blood, but no one can do anything to get him! Xiang Shaolong laughed, Zhuo Ran got up, stepped out of the hall, patted the hilt of the sword three times with his hand, and gave a signal to prepare to break the crossbow.At the same time, he said calmly: "Your Majesty, it is better to take back your fate. Mr. Huang is now full of anger and murderous intent. If I want to show mercy, I am afraid it will be difficult to do so." Everyone felt that his tone was too loud, but just seeing him standing casually and already possessing the power to rule the world, compared to Huang Zhan by far, they felt that it was natural for him to speak so loudly. Huang Zhan didn't wait for Chun Shenjun's answer, and shouted wildly: "Who wants you to show mercy." He swung his sword forward and slashed head-on. Xiang Shaolong knew that he had always been arrogant and had no eyes, so he purposely stirred up his anger, but now seeing that the plan was sold, he hurriedly collected his mind, and the blood flowed out of the scabbard. "Dang!" The sound shook the audience. Xiang Shaolong stood proudly with his sword in his arms, while Huang Zhan staggered and retreated with his sword in hand, he was forced to retreat by Xiang Shaolong with only one move. Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Young Master Huang! Let's stop this battle, okay?" Jun Shen stood up and shouted, "Zhan'er!" Standing behind the banquet, Chun Shenjun's family pressed everyone's hands to the hilt of their swords, making the atmosphere in the hall even more tense. Jing Shan and the others took advantage of the golden opportunity when everyone's eyes were focused on the field, and secretly installed the crossbow bolts several times. Everyone at the table was dumbfounded. One must know that Huang Zhan has always been famous in Chudi for his bravery and divine power, so he was counted by Li Yuanxia, ​​but he was embarrassed when he met him, who would not be astonished. Li Yuan next to him had sharp eyesight, and he knew that Huang Zhan was impetuous due to his rage, and Xiang Shaolong was very knowledgeable with this sword. Fantastic results.And obviously Xiang Shaolong's arm strength is better than Huang Zhan's. Huang Zhan retreated a full twelve steps before he stabilized his retreat, but Xiang Shaolong repeated: "Young Master Huang! Let's forget it!" How could it be possible for Huang Zhan to shrink back in such a humiliating situation with no face left, screaming wildly: "I'm going to kill you!" and then pounced forward. When the opponent came halfway, Xiang Shaolong moved forward swiftly, using both offensive and defensive moves, and mercilessly attacked, head-to-head. Women's cheers and applause suddenly sounded. It turned out that Na Caicai was singing a monologue.Since this was not an ordinary martial arts contest, everyone held their breaths, so Na Caicai's cheers and applause were extremely harsh, but no one had time to pay attention to her at this time. The sound of gold and iron crossing sounded in succession.The two passed by.Xiang Shaolong stopped abruptly, and put Huang Zhan on his back into the scabbard. Huang Zhan still rushed forward five more steps, and then let out a heart-piercing scream. The long sword fell to the ground, his left hand clasped his right hand, and he fell to his knees. Only then did everyone realize that his right wrist was broken. Even the sword fell to the ground. Xiang Shaolong looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "Whoever wants to kill me Wan Ruiguang should take this son as a warning." Chunshen Jun shouted, "Wan Ruiguang!" Xiang Shaolong didn't answer and said, "I advised you not to let your son fight, but unfortunately you are too eager to kill me, and you will reap the consequences yourself. Who can blame you?" Yelang Wang Huo Di stood up and shouted wildly: "Kill him!" Chunshen Jun also shouted: "The grievance has its head and the debtor has its owner. Please don't leave your seat." He reached out to pick up the wine glass and threw it on the ground. "Boom!" The cup shattered into powder. A dozen people rushed out from behind Jun Shenjun, seven people stood beside him, and the other eight rushed to the hall to help Huang Zhan who had fallen to the ground. Other family generals poured out from the four sides of the table, blocked in front of the table, formed a human wall, cut off the connection between Xiang Shaolong, Li Yuan and all the guests, and formed a siege. On the contrary, Chunshenjun's generals who were originally behind Xiang and Li's table retreated to the two sides. More than 20 of them came to Qilan King's table, making it difficult for them to intervene. The sound of the long sword being unsheathed can be heard endlessly. Chun Shenjun laughed loudly from behind the human wall: "Unexpectedly! If you immediately surrender your sword with your subordinates, maybe I will spare you my dog's life." Sitting at the table, Li Yuanan turned a blind eye to the shining long swords around him, and said with a sneer, "Your Majesty is so bold, isn't he afraid of accidentally injuring the guests like this? Do you want to rebel!" Xiang Shaolong still stood upright, with a calm demeanor, he laughed and said: "Huang Xie, you are really making a big mistake." Jun Shen smiled and said, "Let's wait and see!" "Bang bang!" sounded, and all the doors were closed. Seeing Lord Longyang, Han Chuang and others holding their sword hilts, Xiang Shaolong shouted: "Everyone please don't interfere or stand up, this matter will be settled by Huang Xie and I in private, let's do it!" At this time, Jing Shan and other forty-eight people were still sitting in the seats, everyone was expressionless, which made people feel cold. Chun Shenjun shouted: "Do it!" "boom!" The secret door behind Jing Shan's table suddenly opened wide, and dozens of men with spears rushed in, attacking Jing Shan and others. None of the guests expected Chun Shenjun to do this, Na Caicai was the first to cry out. Jing Shan waited for this to move. Forty-eight people bounced off the ground like springs, and forty-eight white lights flew out of their hands, which turned out to be throwing knives hidden in their hands. Amidst the screams, the intruders were stabbed and fell to the ground. Then it was the turn of the crossbow, and the rows of crossbow arrows were shot out accurately, catching another group of enemies who rushed up from the secret door by surprise, and they fell down row by row, and the offensive collapsed again. These forty-eight people kept loading and firing arrows like lightning, not only forcing the enemies who rushed in through the secret door out of the house, but also forcing the other generals who were in the hall to return to the banquet, and they had to use the guests as cover. In a short while, the ground was full of enemies groaning in pain in a pool of blood, and the situation was extremely tragic. Xiang Shaolong and Li Yuan rushed towards Chunshen Jun, but dozens of his generals tried their best to block them. Jing Shan, Wu Shu and other forty-eight people scattered to the whole field, guarding all strategic positions, and only shot and killed the enemies who dared to rush forward with crossbow arrows.All the guests sat upright, not daring to move, for fear of harming the fish in the pond. When Li Yuan's long sword pierced Huang Ba's chest with lightning, and kicked his body away, Shan Rou screamed: "Stop all your hands, or I will kill Huang Xie." Both sides looked at Chunzhong Jun, only to realize that he was held in a corner by a maidservant, with a sharp dagger lying across his fat neck, his face was ashen. The audience stopped abruptly. Xiang Shaolong and Li Yuan rushed forward, protecting Shanrou from both sides. Shanrou shouted sharply: "Throw down the long sword!" All the families stared at you and were at a loss. Huang Zhan was seriously injured, Huang Ba was killed, and there was no one who could make decisions. King Yelang yelled, "Kill me!" Only when his subordinates jumped up, two rows of crossbow arrows had already arrived, including King Yelang, more than ten people were killed by the arrows.The others didn't dare to move. Shanrou scolded again: "Don't give up the sword!" I don't know who took the lead first, there were clangs, and in a blink of an eye the ground was full of dropped long swords. Jing Shan and others drove all the family members to the back of Chunshenjun's seat, while Shanrou, Xiang Shaolong and Li Yuan escorted Chunshenjun to the gate.Both Li Quan and Cheng Suning were dragged out and tied up with Chun Shenjun. The Elite Corps showed a high degree of efficiency, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner without any chaos. Everyone could only stare dumbfounded at the unexpected change in front of them. Li Yuan leaned closer to Xiang Shaolong's ear and said, "It's only now that I understand what it means to capture the thief first and capture the king first, my little brother convinced Brother Xiang!" Xiang Shaolong was amused in his heart, looked at her who was staring at him with only a bit of kindness, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister is really amazing." Shanrou snorted softly, triumphantly. Chun Shenjun tremblingly said: "What do you think?" Xiang Shaolong saluted all the guests and said, "I, Wan Ruiguang, feel very sorry for your false alarm. You can leave the venue, but please wait for a while, until we clear the way first." Before the words were finished, the sound of killing outside the house shook the sky, and after a long while, the rear fell silent, and everyone's expressions changed when they heard it. When the signal to knock on the door sounded, Wu Yan, who was in charge of opening the door, pulled the door open, and Lou Wuxin rushed in and said, "Fortunately, it's not a disgrace!" Li Yuan said with a smile: "Everyone can leave, we will stand up for everyone." Looking happily at Xiang Shaolong, both of them knew that tonight's victory was within their grasp.
