Chapter 220 Chapter 2 falls short

After Zhu Ji ordered Xiang Shaolong to sit beside her, he gazed through the curtain at the night view of Xianyang passing by like water flowing outside the window. The main street was full of people from Qin who celebrated the Spring Festival and rejoiced at the birth of the black dragon.Every household was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and the sound of firecrackers was endless, which especially brought out Zhu Ji's emptiness. Ever since King Zhuangxiang passed away, Zhu Ji has never been really happy. Her life was created by Lu Buwei, but it was also destroyed by Lu Buwei.I'm afraid even she herself doesn't know the grievances with Lu Buwei.

Although Lai Ai seems to be very beautiful, from the beginning to the end, she was just a chess piece used by various parties.Unexpectedly, with Zhu Ji's shrewdness, once she becomes infatuated with male sex, she will be so confused. Just as she was sighing in her heart, Zhu Jixiang whispered with her lips: "Shaolong! What should I do in the future?" In a trance, Xiang Shaolong seemed to have entered the time machine again, and returned to the days when he and Zhu Ji first met in Handan, and trembled in his heart: "The Queen Mother..." Then I don't know what to say anymore.

Zhu Ji didn't turn her delicate body away, looked at him intently and said, "I'm sorry!" Xiang Shaolong was stunned and said, "Why did the Empress Dowager say such a thing?" Zhu Ji lowered her head and said sadly: "I don't even know what I'm doing, but sometimes, I really wish someone could kill you." Knowing that she was referring to the duel between Yun Zhun Guan Zhongxie and himself, Xiang Shaolong sighed and said, "I will never blame the Queen Mother, no matter what, I will not blame you." Zhu Ji's tender body trembled, she raised her head to look at him, and after a while, she suddenly said: "Whether that black dragon is real or not, please don't hide it from me."

Xiang Shaolong immediately became angry for no reason, knowing that Zhu Ji was still planning for Lai Ai, he said coldly: "Of course it's true, if you want to fake it, can you fake it?" Zhu Ji stared at him blankly for a while, then turned her head to look out of the window, and said with a wry smile: "You are angry, Shaolong. Sometimes I really hope you can beat me and scold me, so that people will feel better." After a pause, he continued: "I know you too well. From the way you answered just now, you can tell that it's just a fake dragon. You must have come up with such a powerful strategy. No one is more capable of playing tricks than you. "

Xiang Shaolong's heart became hot, and a complex that he couldn't understand even surged up, he leaned into her little ear, and said softly: "At this moment, I really want to beat the Queen Mother hard!" Zhu Ji's delicate body trembled, "Ah!"He turned his delicate body around with a bang, and a complex and incomprehensible expression shot out of his eyes. When Xiang Shaolong was about to seal her fragrant lips, the carriage stopped abruptly, and it turned out that he had already arrived at the palace. Xiang Shaolong secretly sighed in his heart, fate cannot be changed in the slightest after all.

◇◇◇◇◇◇ When Zhu Ji arrived at the banquet, Xiao Pan, Lu Buwei and the officials warmly welcomed her as usual, as if nothing had happened. Both Pu Ji and Du Bi were present, and their expressions were calm.If Qiu Risheng had the opportunity to visit here, he would definitely feel that his sacrifice was not worth it. However, Xiang Shaolong was in a bad mood because of Guo Xing's death. When he sat down with Li Si and Lord Changping, he asked in a deep voice, "Where is Guan Zhongxie?" Li Si and Li Si were startled when they heard his bad tone, and asked together, "What does Shaolong want?"

At this time Xiang Shaolong had found Guan Zhongxie who was sitting five seats below him, he was sitting and whispering with Lu Niangrong, Xu Shang, and Lian Jiao. In order to ease the atmosphere, Mr. Changping said with a smile: "Those three talented women are well-deserved of their reputation. Although the song is over, my ears still seem to be lingering with her moving singing voice." Xiang Shaolong took a deep breath for a day and said, "I want to kill Guan Zhongxie!" The two were stunned and speechless for a moment.Li Si could only say: "Shaolong think twice!"

At this time, Xiao Pan, Lu Buwei and a group of ministers were toasting to Zhu Ji in turn. As soon as it came to an end, they all sat down, and the hall of thousands of people fell silent, waiting for Zhu Ji to speak. Xiang Shaolong was furious and stood up abruptly.Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted and focused on him. Xiang Shaolong's pride rose to the sky, and he raised his voice and said: "The last time I competed with Lord Guan, I stopped because Lord Guan's sword was broken. Now, seeing that Lord Guan has another sword, I suddenly feel itchy. I hope I can compete with Lord Guan. Your Excellency will have another competition to add to the fun, please grant permission from the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother."

The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's faces showed astonishment, obviously they did not expect Xiang Shaolong to do this. In fact, in the previous two competitions, Xiang Shaolong was forced to fight, only this time he took the initiative to attack because he was angry with Guo Xing's death. At this moment, everyone knew that Xiang Shaolong was really angry with Guan Zhongxie and decided to kill him. Lu Buwei's face changed slightly, he snorted coldly, and replied before Xiaopan and Weiji: "Tonight is a day of great joy, it is not appropriate to use weapons rashly, if Shaolong has personal grievances..."

A long laugh came from Lai Ai's mouth, and he said sadly: "Father Zhong's words are wrong. Could it be the day of Father Zhong's great sorrow last time? Why did Father Zhong insist on fighting?" Lu Buwei's eyes flickered sharply, he stared at Lai Ai fiercely, and was about to pay back, when Guan Zhongxie stood up and said, "Xiang Tongdun really has sharp eyesight, he can see the famous sword of the Qi State, which is newly worn by the lowly official, "Shooting the Sun" "It's not an ordinary product, and it's not easy to break, so Yaxing is moved. If the prince, queen mother and father Zhong give permission, Zhongxie will be happy to accompany you."

Xiao Pan laughed and said, "This is my good boy from Daqin, please grant permission from the Empress Dowager." After Zhu Ji stared at Xiang Shaolong for a while, her beautiful eyes shot out gratitude, she nodded and said: "I, Da Qin Xiang, defend the country with force, and the two Qing families embody my Da Zou's spirit of advocating martial arts, so I will grant my request. " Xiang Shaolong knew that Zhu Ji would be mistaken, thinking that he wanted to vent his anger on Guan Zhongxie because of her humiliation, but at this moment he didn't control so much, after thanking the decree, he and Guan Zhongxie left the banquet and walked towards the center of the hall at the same time . Everyone was confused by the suffocating and dignified atmosphere. This is the third time the two have met. Guan Zhongxie was at a disadvantage both times, can he win this round? To a certain extent, Xiang Shaolong did take a risk this time.Or maybe it's not worth the risk. The first time Guan Zhongxie couldn't beat Xiang Shaolong, it was because he didn't think it would be worthwhile to get injured by someone who he thought was dying.The second time he lost because he was completely ignorant of the Baizhan sword technique and was caught off guard, but he was still able to use the sword to escape, even without any damage. Now that Guan Zhongxie has experience in dealing with the Hundred Wars Saber Technique, and he is determined to fight to the death, hoping to save his life, in this situation, it is really unknown who will win the battle? That's why Li Si advised him to think twice. But at this moment, Xiang Shaolong completely forgot about the honor and disgrace of life and death, and only felt that if he let the murderer who killed Guoxing continue to enjoy himself in front of his eyes, he would be very sorry for this subordinate who was about to serve him just now. At this moment, he becomes a real swordsman, and everything else is out of consideration. Guan Zhongxie is not Lu Buwei, no history book or movie ever said that he would survive tonight. Lu Niangrong sitting on the seat was as pale as paper. No one knows better than her Xiang Shaolong's mentality of vowing not to give up if he doesn't kill Guan Zhongxie. Just now Guan Zhongxie, Xu Shang, and Lian Jiao were talking about shooting and killing Guoxing in front of Xiang Shaolong. At that time, she felt uneasy all over, knowing that Xiang Shaolong would never swallow this breath, but she still didn't expect that Xiang Shaolong would angrily challenge Guan Zhongxie as soon as he entered the arena. Xiang Shaolong has another factor to consider, that is, Guan Zhongxie's archery is too lethal. If he draws his strong bow in a public confrontation in the future, he will not know who can save his life, so if he can be eliminated as soon as possible, Wait Ruo first saved the life of himself or Teng Yi Jing Jun and others.This deep subconscious fear further prompted him to kill Guan Zhongxie at all costs. After saluting to Xiao Pan and Lu Buwei and Zhu Ji who were sitting on the left and right, the two separated, pressed their sword hilts, and confronted each other coldly with a distance of about ten feet. Wear weapons. Until now, no one has made any sound.The sword hadn't been unsheathed yet, but the whole hall became cold and chilling due to the silence of the crowd and the harsh atmosphere before the mountain rain. It seemed that the pressure between the mouth and nose increased sharply, making it difficult for people to breathe smoothly. After the two of them stared at each other fiercely for a while, Guan Zhongxie slightly arched his back, arousing his momentum and making people feel tense and breathless. Xiang Shaolong's eyes flickered coldly, but he didn't hold the Baizhan Saber with its sheath in his hand like last time, making people wonder why he didn't use the scabbard like last time. I saw him take a quick step forward. Guan Zhongxie arched his entire back, like a beast that wanted to kill anyone, his confidence and aura were multiplied compared to the last time he faced Xiang Shaolong. Xiang Shaolong was unafraid. In the past few days, he got up every day before the cock crowed to practice the sword, and felt that his state had reached the highest peak he had never reached since he came here on the space-time machine.If he can't defeat Guan Zhongxie tonight, he will never be able to defeat him in the future. certainly!It's just a pure feeling, and it may or may not be the case. At this moment, Xiang Shaolong's Baizhan Baodao came out of its sheath, turned into sparkling electricity, and pierced the void, but it gave people a strange feeling of lightness and elegance. Compared with the trend, it is even more indescribable. Guan Zhongxie obviously had a big accident, but of course he couldn't ponder and appreciate it like other people, he immediately marked it out, drew his sword and moved his sword, and quickly fought. The moves of the two were as fast as lightning, making it almost impossible for people to see clearly. "when!" Guan Zhongxie took three steps back. But masters such as Han Jie, Xu Shang, etc., all saw that Guan Zhongxie retreated deliberately, and used dexterous footwork and tactics to defuse and wear down Xiang Shaolong's astonishing Hundred Fighting Saber Technique.So even though Guan Zhongxie retreated three steps in a row, he didn't show the slightest sign of defeat. Xiang Shaolong also didn't expect that Guan Zhongxie would adopt such a tactic, so he couldn't help but suffocate. When he was about to attack one after another, Guan Zhongxie's eyes flashed sharply, his tongue burst into thunder, and he yelled wildly. Jiao Lei, striding forward to bully his body, shot the sun and made a quick counterattack with his sword, first he lowered his wrist, and then raised it diagonally, what he actually took was Xiang Shaolong's lower abdomen.It made it difficult for Xiang Shaolong to deal with it with chopping and hacking. Nearly a thousand spectators who have been holding their breath all the time, seeing Guan Zhongxie's slashing force, feel even more horrified and can't make a sound. Xiang Shaolong let out a cold snort, and took a step sideways, imagining waves of sabers, sealing the space in his chest and abdomen. With the sound of "choking", the two of them joined together and separated, neither of them could take advantage of it. Guan Zhongxie was ecstatic in his heart, knowing that he had mastered the strategy to deal with Xiang Shaolong's amazing sword skills, that is to avoid fighting recklessly, and use light and agile movements to deal with his firmness and solidity.No one hesitated at the moment, taking advantage of the momentum of the main attack, the Sun Shooting Sword used a delicate and dense technique, like a weaver girl's weaving technique, and attacked Xiang Shaolong with mercury pouring down the ground. Xiang Shaolong's expression was solemn, he sat on the horse with his waist down, his heart was filled with the tragic emotions of mourning Guo Xing's death, and he forcibly slashed straight with the Baizhan Saber, forcing Guan Zhongxie out of the shadow of the saber. For a while, the sword light flourished, and it changed mysteriously, making it impossible to fathom.Although Guan Zhongxie tried his best to avoid colliding with his precious saber, he still couldn't avoid the clash of swords. Although there are only two heroes fighting in the arena, everyone seems to be watching the tragic charge of thousands of troops, until the corpses are scattered all over the field, and the blood flows like a river. At this time, Xiang Shaolong only had one thought in his mind, which was to kill Guan Zhongxie quickly, everything else was unimportant, including his own life. He didn't know how much Lu Buwei's treachery was related to Guan Zhongxie, but this person's intelligence would definitely not be inferior to Mo Ao, otherwise Lu Buwei would never marry Lu Niangrong to him based on his bravery alone.If he can't kill Guan Zhongxie in one day, he can't expect to have a good life, so every move is a move to kill the enemy, risking his life. The sound of "clang" clears the hall. From Xiao Pan down, everyone was stunned by the tragic battle between the two masters. "when!" After a special loud sound, Guan Zhongxie was finally forced to retreat by Xiang Shaolong's attack as defense. Xiang Shaolong was drawn by Qi, he retreated and I advanced, with a long roar, he raised his saber and attacked, the saber wave was dense, following his forward step, the tide rolled towards Guan Zhongxie.For the first time, Guan Zhongxie felt unsustainable. In the sudden attack just now, he was very sure that he could kill Xiang Shaolong, but every move of the opponent was a way of exchanging life for life, so although there were flaws everywhere, unless he was willing to die with Xiang Shaolong, It is simply impossible to take advantage of those flaws to attack. Others might not understand why Xiang Shaolong gave up the scabbard and didn't use it, but he knew painfully that this was exactly Xiang Shaolong's brilliance.Because after he was defeated last time, he had learned from the pain, and has been studying how to deal with Xiang Shaolong's strange tactics of right sword and left sheath, and it has been quite fruitful.Because it is difficult to focus on advancing and retreating with the sword attacking the scabbard, which also affects the agility of offense and defense, which made him think of a way to break it. But this time Xiang Shaolong let go of the scabbard, and immediately made his wishful tactics come to nothing.And he was also very good, making a decisive decision, retreating before attacking, regaining the initiative, and preventing Xiang Shaolong from displaying the astonishing power of the Hundred Fighting Saber. Unexpectedly, Xiang Shaolong was firmly guarding the ground of three feet, but he used his fierce and incomparable saber skills to deal with wave after wave of his attacks.When his offensive was at the end of his strength, it was difficult to maintain his strong momentum, and he was finally struck back by Xiang Shaolong.Under the ebb and flow of one and the other, how can it still block Xiang Shaolong's sword of hundreds of battles in the Yangtze River, the turbulent waves and the banks. Senhan's murderous aura, accompanied by Xiang Shaolong's precious sword, spread over him.That terrifying feeling condensed into a heavy psychological pressure, tightly locking Guan Zhongxie's soul and body, making him feel irresistible for the first time.All of a sudden, he clearly knew that Xiang Shaolong had reached the realm of a master of swordsmanship. The people in the hall even stopped breathing, so quiet that a needle could be heard. The Baizhan Baodao combines countless blade shadows into one, slashing at the enemy.Guan Zhongxie was so timid that he couldn't see Xiang Shaolong's subsequent changes for a while. "when!" The figure suddenly separates. When Guan Zhongxie staggered and retreated sharply, Xiang Shaolong's saber brilliance was stronger and he rushed to attack, not giving the opponent the slightest chance to win back the defeat. Everyone's expression on Lu Buwei's side changed. Lu Niangrong screamed: "Stop!" She jumped out, ignoring other people's shouts, and ran towards them. Everyone was shocked. "Clang, clang, clang!" Xiang Shaolong flew back quickly. Guan Zhongxie was obviously hit, the long sword fell to the ground, he staggered, and fell back into Lu Niangrong's arms, the two of them fell to the ground at the same time. Xiang Shaolong yelled that it was a pity, although Guan Zhongxie was severely wounded by this knife, it still couldn't kill him, because he was afraid of accidentally injuring Lu Niangrong, so he thought ahead of time to kill Lu Niangrong when the other party still had strength left. For this reason, Guan Zhongxie was given a chance to take his life. There were blood stains on both of them at the same time. Guan Zhongxie's blood was stained on his left chest, and even his armor was cut, it can be seen that he managed to avoid the disaster in his heart when he was in danger.But within a few months, it is impossible to recover. Xiang Shaolong's blood stains were between the crook of his left arm and his thigh. Lu Niangrong screamed: "Bewitched! What's wrong with you!" Guan Zhongxie's face was as pale as death, but he clenched his teeth and said to Xiang Shaolong: "Zhongxie has been taught, I will never forget this knife." Lu Buwei jumped up and shouted: "Hurry up and save people and treat their injuries." Xiang Shaolong felt tired for a while, he didn't expect to give Lu Niangrong such an unexpected change under such an advantage, breaking his wishful thinking, and it may be difficult to have such an ideal opportunity in the future.
