Chapter 153
After the first day of probing, the second day's hunting ground competition was obviously much more exciting, but, although it was exciting, the expressions of the various countries were not very good-looking.
On the first day, Beiyan had already shown Beiyan's Eighteen Bears as its hole card. Although the envoys from various countries were already wary of this, after the first day's competition, they went back to discuss the plan to deal with Beiyan's Eighteen Bears, but , On the second day, Beiyan Eighteen Heroes dispatched 12 people to completely crush the envoys from other countries with superb skills, and shined brightly in the competition on the second day, although there are still warriors from various countries who can persist until the third On the first day, even on the third day, important fighters were left as the finale, but facing the powerful existence of Beiyan Shibaxiong, they didn't have much self-confidence.
The game on the second day came to an end amidst the worries of the countries, and the game on the third day was the most exciting time. This day will be the time when the first game of the National Alliance will be held to determine the winner , and the victory in the first battle is often the most inspiring and has the strongest deterrent effect.
Ruan Fu was sitting on the high platform, watching the competition between you and me in the arena of the hunting ground, and couldn't help but think of the last alliance of nations.
In the last alliance of nations, the winner of the hunting ground competition was Nanhua. She was still young at that time, but when she saw that on the hunting ground, only Nanhua's warriors stood at the top of the ring, and warriors from other countries did not dare to step forward , that kind of pride, at this moment, is still so clear in retrospect, as if it was still yesterday.
At that time, how proud she was of being the legitimate daughter of the Meng family, how proud that even though she was a daughter in this life, her father and brother provided her with a vast world, so that she was not just an ordinary woman confined to the house, she could see this The world is vast, she can see the prosperous capital of the powerful country in the Central Plains, she can also see the snow flying outside the Great Wall, and the pride of the yellow sand hunting, that short life, even if she escapes into the deep palace later, she still believes, recalling the past like this , I will definitely not leave any regrets anymore, the wishes of her father's generation, the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, burned her heart blazingly.
It's just... Now, when she watched the competition on the hunting ground again, she couldn't help shaking her head slightly in her heart.
Emperor Zhaolie is gone, Huangfu Yu has the ambitions of his father's generation, but he doesn't have the heart of his father's generation. This Nanhua is not the original Nanhua, it's just the situation of the past few years. The warriors of Nanhua are already so inappropriate.
In the three-day hunting ground competition, although compared with other small countries, Nanhua is not too ugly to lose, but compared with Beiyan, it is indeed not enough. The hunting ground competition on the third day is no longer the same as the first On the second day, there are usually multiple arenas in a large hunting ground, but only one, so everyone's eyes are on the arena, but...
What they saw before them was that one of Beiyan's eighteen bear warriors directly knocked Chen Guo's envoy off the ring within thirty moves. These thirty moves were already the longest that Nanhua's envoy could persist so far. A long time.
Huangfu Yu's expression was obviously not very good, but he raised his glass and looked at Yan Jing, "Bei Yan brought all the masters, and these eighteen heroes are really skilled, which opened my eyes. It seems that this At this time, there is not much suspense left."
Yan Jing smiled lazily, and raised her glass to pay respects to Huangfu Yu from a distance, "The Emperor of Nanhua praised me, this time I am here to participate in the Alliance of Nations, probably only the Eighteen Heroes of Beiyan can do it, and I can get a word from the Emperor of Nanhua Praise is their blessing."
Although he said so, who would believe that Beiyan's Eighteen Heroes are the only ones that Beiyan can fight, but judging from this hunting ground competition, I'm afraid Beiyan is more prepared in the back, but, Beiyan The people Yan brought seemed to be quite mysterious and low-key, but there were probably not a few of them who were as blockbuster as Bei Yan Shibaxiong in the competition.
When Huangfu Yu heard this, his eyes darkened, and he smiled faintly.
Everyone's eyes continued to look at the ring. After Nanhua's warrior went down, Beiyan's warrior with an axe did not step down, but continued to stand on the high platform to meet the next challenger.
He didn't wait for a long time. Following a figure leaping onto the ring, everyone's eyes turned to the envoy of Kingdom Chen. This was the first time the envoy of Kingdom Chen took the stage in the third day of the competition.
In yesterday's competition, the envoys of Kingdom Chen didn't see a big victory, but they didn't see a tragic loss either, it can only be said to be mediocre.
A cold smile appeared on Yan Jing's lips, and she raised an eyebrow towards Ruan Fu, Ruan Fu didn't seem to notice, but looked calmly at the ring.
The warriors of Chen Kingdom who took the stage this time use long spears as weapons. This long spear is not a rare thing. In the army, almost everyone can use it, and the long spear is not necessarily so expensive, except that the head of the spear is made of black iron. , the body of the gun is just a piece of wood.
The wooden spear against the black iron ax of Shangbeiyan Shibaxiong, this...
Everyone looked at Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue with subtle expressions, "It's really interesting to match a spear against an axe." Xia Houyan laughed and said first.
"Hehe, wood is facing Xuantie, isn't it right to meet each other?" The fourth prince Xihu sneered.
Ruan Fu remained silent, his eyes were still on the ring, and while the two were talking, the competition on the ring had already begun.
The warriors of Chen Kingdom held long spears, and the warriors of Beiyan had two axes. The two figures on the arena were moving fast, and the movements were fast and dazzling. Almost most of the time is spent avoiding the attacks of Beiyan warriors.
However, what is surprising is that after fifty strokes, the two sides are still fighting in the arena, and there is no intention of stopping at all, and the outcome between the two sides is even more difficult to decide now.
The most obvious feature is that there are two people on the ring, one is attacking and the other is defending. The playfulness in everyone's eyes gradually disappeared, even Yan Jing's expression became a little serious, and the lazy smile on his face also slowly disappeared at this moment. Wei Wei sat upright, looking at the two figures fighting on the ring.
Just when the two fighters on the ring had gone through hundreds of moves and still hadn't decided the outcome, Yan Jing finally looked at Ruan Fu, "Chen Guo fighters are very skilled, I don't know who this is?"
Ruan Fu pulled his lips into a smile, "It's just a nameless area, so you shouldn't be asked by the king. It's just that when the prince chooses someone to come, he sees that this person is good at wielding a spear, so he can bring some experience."
When Ruan Fu said this, there was a smile in his eyes, and his tone was quite helpless, but everyone was surprised when they heard it.
There is no need for Ruan Fu to lie about this matter. She said so, even this person is just a little-known warrior among the warriors of Chen Kingdom.
Yan Jing narrowed her eyes, "Really, it's just that in the previous two days of competition, I have never seen such an outstanding character."
"I'm afraid that the monarch will look down upon him. If he hadn't been on stage, how could he survive the competition on the third day? However, he is a good gun. I'm afraid that during these two days, he often observes the eighteen contestants brought by the monarch. A master, I just want to learn and learn from others' strengths."
Ruan Fu said with a smile, "When going out, Ruan Fu warned them that this trip to the alliance of various countries focuses on learning and increasing their knowledge. They have kept these words in their hearts, and it seems that This trip to Nanhua is worthwhile."
When Ruan Fu said this, everyone was startled. In the past two days, the warriors of Chen Kingdom have been so low-key. Could it be that...in fact, they are saving it for today, wanting to observe the routines of warriors from various countries, and then find a way to break it?
Everyone was still shocked by Ruan Fu's words, and a surprised voice came from the high platform, "Look!"
The envoys on the high platform followed the sound and saw that the scene on the high platform had changed. The Northern Yan warriors and Chen Guo warriors who originally belonged to one attack and one defense had changed their situation. At this juncture, the spears in the hands of the warriors of Chen Kingdom were superb, and when the warriors of Beiyan were holding double axes in their hands, the envoys of Chen Kingdom did not dodge in a hurry like the previous warriors, but went up with their spears. Originally, the envoy of Beiyan held a black iron ax that was almost blown away, and it was supposed to be able to split the spears of the warriors of Chen Kingdom, but when his two axes were about to split the spears, the spears of the warriors of Chen Kingdom turned into a force that pierced through the air. Taking the appearance of the Chen Kingdom warrior, the Chen Kingdom warrior can only change the direction of the twin axes instantly, but as soon as he changes the direction of the twin axes, the Chen Kingdom envoy's spear deflects, and the sharp edge of the gun cuts the Beiyan envoy's wrist directly.
The Beiyan envoy didn't have time to defend, his wrist veins were cut, and the spear in his hand was thrown out. The Chen Guo envoy's spear and wooden stick directly lifted the Beiyan warrior out of the ring and fell heavily to the ground.
The instant change seemed to be just a blink of an eye, and everyone could hardly see how the offensive and defensive momentum would change, and they could only see Beiyan's defeat.
Seeing this, Beiyan's envoys stood up abruptly, and looked at Chen Guo with righteous indignation, "Chen Guo hurt my Beiyan warrior, what is the meaning of this?"
Yu Wuhen smiled brightly, "The competition in the arena uses a knife to rob, the sword has no eyes, how can it really be unscathed? This is not what you said, besides, isn't this person still alive and well, and he will be cultivated when he arrives at the Kingdom of the Kingdoms After the alliance is over, that person will definitely be able to escort you back to Beiyan."
But Beiyan's envoy still looked bad, and it was true that he didn't hurt anyone's life, but that person's wrist veins were cut, how could he hold an ax in the future, wouldn't he be a useless person?
Yan Linglong snorted coldly, "A mere martial artist, I'm afraid it's an expert hidden by Chen Guo, who just appeared like this today, Ruan Tong knows a good plan."
Ruan Fu smiled faintly, "Princess, thank you, but... this person is indeed not a master." She shook her head slightly.
People didn't quite believe Ruan Fu's words. When Ruan Fu saw this, he shook his head and said, "In this world, everything is interdependent. Harmony, follow each other, all things are in the same row, martial arts are naturally inseparable from these principles, although Beiyan Eighteen Heroes have mastered the weapons they use, and have become masters in the world, which makes people frightened. However, on the other hand, this advantage of Beiyan Eighteen Heroes may not be his own disadvantage. When things are almost completely unfamiliar, this advantage becomes a disadvantage, just like everyone thinks that you will be hurt if you are under the Huiji."
In the middle of Ruan Fu's speech, he looked at the people with complicated expressions, and finally, his eyes would stay on You Guang, "The general is the number one expert in the Wu Kingdom. Ruan Fu heard that the general is obsessed with martial arts. The experience in this aspect is more profound, right?"
You Guang was stunned for a moment, recalling Ruan Fu's previous words carefully, and nodded with a solemn expression, "Ruan Tongzhi really has extensive knowledge, even if he doesn't have martial arts, he can understand the way of martial arts."
Ruan Fu shook his head, "Great General, Ruan Fu doesn't know the way of martial arts, but whether it is the way of martial arts, the way of governing the world, or even the ordinary way of eating, they are all the ways of the world. After mastering this way, a weapon can become a person's strengths, expertise, and even become the only one, but in this way, at a certain time, he can be a strong player in the world, but at a certain time, he can only be no different from ordinary people, because , the way of weapons is also inseparable from the original way. Long and short restrain each other, square and circle oppose each other, long sword overcomes spear, sharp ax defeats sword, silver spear defeats axe, contradictions kill each other, cycle in and out, all kinds of cycles, the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint of eighteen kinds of weapons , Just like the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements, it also stems from the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint of all things. Therefore, in this world, there is no absolute weapon, and there is no absolute strong opponent. Weapons, cultivated to their only strength is also the biggest flaw."
After she said such a long paragraph, everyone felt a sense of enlightenment, and suddenly understood something.
Sure enough, when she finished speaking, another one of Beiyan's Eighteen Heroes who wanted to challenge on stage because of the victory of the Chen Kingdom envoy was kicked off the ring again. This time, it was a person from Chen Kingdom who used a spear Beat Beiyan who uses the hammer.
Seeing this, the envoys of Beiyan stood up, "Why aren't the warriors of Chen Kingdom fighting with long spears?"
"The challenger who came to the stage in the competition cannot retire, otherwise he will be regarded as conceding defeat. However, there is no rule that the winner cannot choose an opponent. Since it is mutual generation and mutual restraint, it is natural to choose conditions that are beneficial to oneself." Chen Guo immediately had someone After comprehending the essence of Ruan Phuc's words, he opened his mouth and said.
This is indeed the truth. When everyone heard the words, Fang realized that the envoys of Beiyan could only swallow their anger.
Yan Jing looked deeply at Ruan Fu, "Ruan Tongzhi really impresses me."
"The Monarch of Beiyan congratulates me." Ruan Fu said indifferently.
The competition in the arena is still going on, but since the envoy of Chen Kingdom defeated the envoy of Beiyan, the eighteen heroes of Beiyan are no longer the undefeated army in the arena.
After Ruan Fu uttered his voice, Huangfu Yu's eyes stayed on Ruan Fu for a long time, "Ruan Tongzhi's words are familiar to me."
"It's the same in the world." Ruan Fu said.
Huangfu Yu's eyes did not leave Ruan Fu, but he looked at Zhao Jin, one of Nanhua's courtiers, "Zhao Jin, you must be familiar with these words."
Zhao Jin also looked at Ruan Fu with complicated eyes when she heard the words, "When I was apprenticed to my teacher to learn the art of war, I used this as my enlightenment."
Who is Zhao Jin's military teacher, no one in Nanhua knows.
Ruan Fu just smiled lightly when he heard this, and continued, "There is no way in the world without this way, and the art of war is naturally one of them. General Zhao can use soldiers like a god, and I think he has already realized the truth."
Zhao Jin said, "Zhao Jin hasn't really understood the truth. In the future, I should ask Ruan Tongzhi for advice."
"I dare not. However, Ruan Fu has indeed learned something about the way of warfare. In the future, if he can learn from General Zhao and learn how to use soldiers from the Zhao family army, it will be a great blessing."
As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone exclaimed in their hearts.
However, facing her, no one dared to suspect that Ruan Fu's words were false.
She looked leisurely, and the competition on the hunting ground was still going on. You Guang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up, and cupped his hands towards Ruan Fu, "Listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books. Today, Ruan Tongzhi told You Guang I am enlightened, I have some understanding in martial arts, and I will be able to improve when I return to Wu State in the future, You Guang would like to thank Ruan Tongzhi for the reminder."
Ruan Fu smiled, "The general is polite, if so, Ruan Fu is here to congratulate the general for his improvement in martial arts."
You Guang laughed loudly, and there was a sudden sense of relief in his expression.
Over there, Wu Mian, a well-known scholar of the Wu Kingdom, suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Ruan Fu, "Mian thought that what he learned from studying for [-] years had been used for half his life. Hearing what Ruan Tongzhi said today, Fang Juemian What you have learned has not reached the truth."
Ruan Fu was a little surprised that Wu Mian would be like this, but he just nodded lightly.
Seeing this scene, the envoys from various countries on the high platform all had complicated expressions.
Yan Jing looked at the competition on the ring, squinted her eyes, and looked at Ruan Fu, "Ruan Tongzhi is not hesitating to teach me, if everyone here can understand this profound truth, and return the same way to others, I don't know if Ruan Tongzhi will regret today's mistake." Gao Yi preaches?"
Everyone's face changed when they heard the words, but Ruan Fu's expression was relaxed, "The monarch also said that today is Ruan Fu's preaching, so, how can the things that come out of Ruan Fu's hands become a sharp weapon for me? "
I'm afraid that no one in this world can say such arrogant words, but Ruan Fu said them so calmly, which makes people feel that there is no abruptness.
The people on the high platform looked complicated, but they didn't speak any more.
The competition in the morning was started by Chen Guo, and there will be a break at noon. Therefore, in the strange atmosphere, the first half of the hunting ground competition on the third day has come to an end, but the reversal on the third day is like this Surprisingly, after lunch, the envoys from all over the world summoned the warriors who will continue the competition this afternoon to discuss countermeasures.
In this regard, the one who seemed unusually calm was probably only the envoy of the Kingdom of Chen.
After lunch, Ruan Fu did not stay in the hunting ground, but left.
Just after noon, the afternoon competition began, but Ruan Fu was no longer present on the envoy seat of Kingdom Chen. Seeing this, Huangfu Yu looked at Yu Wujue, "Prince Jin, why don't you see Ruan Tongzhi?"
"She is not a martial artist, so she has no interest in such competitions." Yu Wujue said concisely and didn't notice anything.
It's just that the corners of the lips of the others twitched when they heard the words.
Not interested, but who turned the situation around this morning?However, everyone did not doubt this. Indeed, Ruan Fu was not interested in the comparison test. Not only Beiyan came here with a purpose, but also Chen Country. Beiyan stole the show two days ago. Today, it should be Chen Country too. It turned out that she had been able to predict it, and she still had her own things to do.
She was not at the hunting ground in the afternoon of the second day, so her absence on the third day would not make people feel awkward.
As soon as the hunting drum sounded, the competition resumed.
Yu Wujue's eyes were fixed on the hunting ground, and his fingers on the table lightly tapped on the tabletop, wondering what he was thinking.
At the same time, the basement of the high platform of the hunting ground was not solid ground, but an empty room dug at some unknown time.
The empty room didn't look damp, and the candles were still lit, but at this moment, it was obvious that someone was walking inside, although the noise was so small that even a person with strong martial arts would never know what was going on on the high platform. It was actually a scene where someone was working.
Even with candlelight, it was still a bit dark in the basement, a middle-aged old man stood with his hands behind his back, and beside him stood a young son.
After Xu Zichang inspected the inner room, he walked to the middle-aged old man, "Father, you are ready."
Marquis Wenchang hummed lightly. He couldn't hear any other emotions in his voice. It was only after a long time that he turned his head and looked at his son who had already endured too much in this world after a weak crown. He sighed and said, "Chang'er, do you blame your father?"
Xu Zichang's face never showed half of the frivolous and playful look he saw in Huadu on weekdays. The corners of his lips raised slightly, and there was a sense of youthful pride in his expression. It is the disaster of the people to fail to distinguish loyalty from traitors!"
Hearing this, Marquis Wenchang sighed softly, "This road is for my father's sake, but you are still young, and there are more possibilities in the future. The Central Plains is so big, there is always a place for you, Chen Guo The national style is open, if you are not in Nanhua, go to Chen Country, with the enlightenment of Chen Country, there may not be no place for development."
Xu Zichang said, "Father, my son will not leave."
Marquis Wenchang sighed and didn't say anything else. The father and son were silent in the somewhat dark inner room until they heard a slight voice from Shibi.
Xu Zichang was a martial arts practitioner, so he naturally heard the movement and suddenly looked in the direction of Shimen.
When the people in the stone room heard the voice, they also nervously looked in the direction of the stone gate, with long knives already in their hands, as if they were going to let the person come die by the knife if the matter was revealed.
Xu Zichang had already protected Marquis Wenchang behind him, holding a throwing knife in his hand, and looked in the direction of Shimen vigilantly. On both sides of the Shimen, there were already four people standing, all of them were inside, and there were no one of his own outside. If someone really came, it would definitely not be one of our own.
With the sound of the falling machine, the stone gate slowly opened. Xu Zichang only had time to see a piece of blue clothes, and the throwing knife in his hand had already shot out, and the people guarding both sides of the stone gate had already thrown their long swords towards the corner of the gate. Those who come to the door go.
However, the flying knife in Xu Zichang's hand did not hit the person who appeared at the door, only a ding dong sound was heard. In an instant, the long knife in his hand was placed on the neck of the visitor.
Ruan Fu lowered his eyes and glanced at the taster on his neck, then slowly turned his gaze to the inner room, and when he saw Xu Zichang and Marquis Wenchang, he said with a smile, "Young master's kung fu is really extraordinary."
It was Ruan Fu and Tsing Yi who appeared at the door.
Everyone in the hunting ground said that Ruan Fu left the hunting ground and returned to the post house, and Ruan Fu did return to the post house, but no one knew that Tsing Yi took her away again, and appeared at the hunting ground of the South China Alliance In the underground palace.
When Xu Zichang heard this, surprise flashed across his eyes, but he didn't let anyone remove the knife from the necks of Ruan Fu and Qingyi, "Chen Guo Ruan Tongzhi."
His voice was low, and he obviously didn't understand why Ruan Fu could appear in this place.
Seeing this, Marquis Wenchang scolded in a deep voice, "This is the Nanhua Hunting Field Palace, why did Ruan Tongzhi appear here?"
Ruan Fu looked at Marquis Wenchang who was three feet away from him in the inner room, and squinted his eyes, "This is the Nanhua Hunting Field Palace. If people from the royal family don't know, I would like to ask, why Marquis Wenchang appeared here?"
After Ruan Fu's eyes wandered around in the inner room, his brows narrowed slightly. It seems that Marquis Wenchang is really not a small picture.
Seeing this, Tsing Yi clasped his hands and said, "Mu Qingyi, the daughter of Mu's family, has seen Marquis Wenchang."
Marquis Wen Chang turned his gaze to Tsing Yi, pursed his lips and said nothing, but after a long time, he said to Ruan Fu, "Ruan Tong knows what this means?"
Ruan Fu swept around the people in the stone room, his voice was cold, "I came to see Marquis Wenchang today, Ruan Fu just wanted to ask Marquis Wenchang a question, does Marquis Wenchang want to cause disputes among the countries in the Central Plains at this moment, and plunge the Central Plains into flames of war?" middle?"
She asked bluntly, her voice was slightly cold, and she was unstoppable. She approached Marquis Wenchang, causing Marquis Wenchang to pause. In the flickering lights, she seemed to see an outstanding and bright figure.
After being taken aback for a while, he heard an echo from the stone room, "Hahaha, everyone in the world says that Meng Changqing, a famous scholar in the world, is unparalleled in intelligence, courageous and decisive. When I saw him today, he really deserved his reputation. Even Huangfu Yu didn't pay attention to the old man. Many things happened in Huadu No one suspected the old man, unexpectedly, the first person who discovered the old man was a person who had just entered Huadu."
After all, Marquis Wen Chang flicked his sleeves, and Ruan Fu and Qing Yi were pushed into the stone room. Following Ruan Fu's entry, the stone room fell down again with a bang, blocking the way back.
By saying this, he obviously admitted without fear that he was the mastermind of certain things.
Ruan Fu sighed, "It's because Lord Hou has hidden it too deeply for so many years. The whole of Nanhua can forget that there was once a family of literati in the Central Plains. The world may have forgotten the proud Xu family back then, but Ruan Fu dared not Forget, Master Hou has endured for many years, isn't it just for the sake of future generations, why did he do this today to cut off Xu's blood?"
Marquis Wenchang had a hint of forbearance in his eyes. Although the former Xu family was not as good as the Meng family, it also had its own strength of character. You want to put your life's ideals in your family and country, raise your arms and shout, and attract thousands of people, but... the Central Plains has not yet been established, and the Xu family has been gradually struggling to move forward under the suppression of successive emperors. Those ideals and passions have long been ruled by fate. Doused out.
However, human strength cannot be extinguished.
Marquis Wenchang looked at Ruan Fu with a complicated expression. Everyone thought that the Xu family had changed, but who knew that due to the situation, the Xu family had no choice but to retreat. With a sneer, Marquis Wenchang said, "The old man finally understands why people in the world With such reverence for Ruan Tongzhi, his ability to directly hit people's hearts, and his eloquent eloquence, I am afraid that no one can hold out for long under Ruan Tongzhi's offensive."
"Father..." Xu Zichang stood aside, looking at Marquis Wenchang with some concern.
Ruan Fu didn't feel any emotional dissatisfaction with Wen Changhou's words, she kept looking directly at Wen Changhou, "200 years ago, the Xu family established a family, when the Great Wei was in turmoil and the Central Plains was divided, the Xu family was not afraid It is said that he went directly out of the mountains and turned the tide for the reunification of the Central Plains. How many literati and students are not afraid of swords and swords, many of them are men of blood, and they are not afraid of conspiracy and danger. Even in the most difficult period, Xu's strength of character is still admired by the world. No fear, no retreat from the fire, even the weak body of the literati, how many people defended their strength in the face of the enemy's torture and extortion of confessions, under the leadership of the Xu family, the literati at that time, kissed each other without appointment, In the past 200 years, the Xu family has experienced the corruption and demise of the Great Wei Dynasty, the division of the Central Plains, and various difficult times since the founding of Nanhua. From Emperor Taizu to the present, the Xu family The ups and downs experienced are probably more complicated than that of the royal family, and they can see the situation of the world more clearly. As a descendant of the Xu family, Lord Hou must know the process better than anyone else. However, what is a family and what is a country? When Hou Ye was a young man, he once said frankly that the people are the country, and the family is the world. Now, before the family and the country are established, will Xu's strength of character be broken?"
The Xu family is not as influential as the Meng family, but before the Xu family was suppressed and gradually declined, it was still a banner of the literati in the world. As the head of the South China literati, how could the Meng family not understand that these things are all caused by Ruan In her previous life, she just heard it from her grandfather. The stories of the Xu family and the Meng family were part of the spirit buried in her heart during her teenage years, which contributed to her endless life in the future.
She stood in the stone room with a knife and an ax on her body, but she met the eyes of Marquis Wenchang. In one sentence, she explained the ups and downs of the Xu family, and the original appearance of the Xu family that the world has long forgotten.
Wen Changhou heard this, his body trembled suddenly, he couldn't take it anymore, and he was about to collapse to the ground.
How could those years be forgotten?
Xu Zichang was so surprised that he couldn't speak. In his generation, besides the family motto of the Xu family, he could still glimpse some old people's demeanor in the ever-changing situation. When he was young, he heard a few words about the past of the Xu family from his parents. , Xu family, in his mind, there is a big blank, if Ruan Fu is not so blunt today, I am afraid that he still does not know the history of his ancestors, so difficult.
Xu Zichang supported Wenchanghou in a daze, and saw that Wenchanghou's face was already a little pale, and he couldn't help but become more worried, "Father."
He sat down on the chair beside Wenchanghou's sidewalk, seeing Wenchanghou's pale face, suppressed his surprise, turned his head and glared at Ruan Fu, "Did Ruan Tongzhi come to punish my father today?"
Ruan Fu's eyes moved slightly, seeing Wenchanghou's appearance, he couldn't bear it, but, if he hadn't exposed Wenchanghou's scars in this way, and brought out the past of the Xu family in front of Wenchanghou, it would have I'm afraid, Marquis Wenchang will still be tormented by hatred and go crazy.
She didn't say a word, just looked at Marquis Wenchang, and after Marquis Wenchang sat down, he smiled dejectedly, "Unexpectedly, Ruan Tongzhi knew so clearly about the past that even Chang'er didn't know about."
Sitting on the chair, he squinted at Ruan Fu and Tsing Yi standing next to Ruan Fu, both of them were silent.
Marquis Wenchang looked at Tsing Yi, and said, "After the case of the Meng family happened, the Mu family also suffered a great disaster because of it. How did you survive?"
Tsing Yi pursed her lips and said after saluting to Marquis Wenchang, "The Mu Mansion was slaughtered secretly. I was still young, and it was my mother who hid me in a vase. The nanny's granddaughter helped me escape for my son, leaving the last bloodline for the Mu family."
Marquis Wenchang's eyes were complicated, "Now that the Mu family is in your hands, the management is a great success. You tell the old man, have you ever thought about avenging the Mu family when you come back this time?"
Tsing Yi's voice was cold, "The Mu family died tragically back then, Tsing Yi always remembers it in his heart, and has never forgotten it for many years. If you don't avenge this revenge, you won't do it for the Mu family!"
Marquis Wenchang laughed and looked at Ruan Fu, "Since Ruan Tongzhi understands the past of my Xu family so well, how can he know what kind of family the Meng family in Nanhua is. Six years ago, the Meng family tragedy occurred. The Meng family was charged with treason and conspiracy There are dozens of members of the Meng family, and no one is left alive... Ruan Tongzhi knows that the Xu family still has such a character, but also knows that the Meng family is even stronger? That is the heart of the Nanhua literati! How did the Meng family work hard for Nanhua? The unification of the Central Plains is heart-wrenching, but a case that has not been reviewed directly pushed the head of Nanhua's literati to the guillotine for treason, and Ruan Tongzhi knows what kind of human tragedy this is, what kind of world's injustice?" Wen Changhou said In the end, he looked excited.
Ruan Fu lowered his eyes, and when he listened carefully, he could hear another emotion in his voice, "So Lord Hou used this stone room today to let Huangfu Yu be buried on the high platform of the hunting ground at the last moment of the hunting ground competition. To comfort the souls of the Meng family?"
"That's right! That's what this old man planned today. The Meng family is dedicated to serving the people, and everyone knows what happened in the end. How many talented students in Nanhua were forced to stay away from Huadu in the end. Whose fault is it? After many years, Mr. Hu Bringing up the Meng family case again, His Majesty did not even try the trial and then punished him for the crime of rebelling against the party. Just like in the past, he is so stupid! Such an emperor is not worthy of being an emperor!" Marquis Wen Chang stood up and said fiercely, "Ruan Tongzhi is an outsider. Even if you know the past of my Xu family, so what? You came to stop the old man today because you were afraid that what the old man did today would not benefit your country Chen. The kingdom of Chen is getting stronger day by day. At that time, you stopped the old man today just because you were afraid that what the old man would do would be harmful to your country Chen, Ruan Tongzhi need not worry, once something happened to Huangfu Yu, it would be the time when you conquered the Central Plains when the country Chen went south, let alone the old man What you have done is harmful to your country Chen, but it is harmless to Baili!"
Ruan Fu smiled coldly, "It's a good one with no harm, then Marquis Wenchang knows, if Huangfu Yu died on the high platform today, what will happen to the National Congress next time, let alone Huangfu Yu has no heirs, even if there are, the weak will be in power Seeing how Lord Hou looks like today, he must also want to die with Huangfu Yu. The Xu family is a family of literati and cannot bear the stigma of killing a monarch. Lord Hou must apologise with death. This has fulfilled the name of the Xu family, but When Huangfu Yu dies, who will be in charge of the overall situation, is it the Xu family? Hmph, Nanhua will be in chaos, the Central Plains will be destroyed, Xihu, Xiyue, and Nanliang will take the opportunity to carve up Nanhua, and the Northern Yan will go south, and Anxia will have no scruples , when the time comes, not only will the Central Plains once again become chaotic due to the loss of balance in Nanhua, but Anxia will also take the opportunity to go south. This is what Hou Ye would like to see. This is the sacrifice that Hou Ye made when he abandoned the Xu family for a hundred years in the name of revenge. It is really a great sacrifice. Presumably the ancestors of the Xu family have spirits in the sky, and they must sacrifice for Hou Ye's wise feat today. Rejoice!"
At the end, Ruan Fu's voice was full of anger, with bulging veins on his forehead, and reddish eyes. Although she was a weak woman, Wen Changhou looked at her, as if seeing a green bamboo breaking the sky, and was stunned for a long time. Unable to say a word, he also forgot the meaning of humiliating the Xu family in Ruan Fu's words.
On the contrary, Xu Zichang was full of enthusiasm because of his youth. He glared at Ruan Fu and said, "It's a disaster for the people to lose the king's power! You are not from the Meng family, you are not from the Xu family, and you are not from Nanhua students. What do you know? What Ruan Tongzhi said today, It's just empty reasoning!"
Ruan Fu looked directly at Xu Zichang, even Xu Zichang, a man in Ruan Fu's sight, felt the pressure, "The Xu family can die, but you are also not the Meng family, so how do you know that the Meng family is willing to let the Xu family take revenge?" The slogan turned the Central Plains into a mess, and how do you know that the Meng family is willing to get involved with the Xu family again before the revenge? Since you know that the Meng family is the heart of the Central Plains, why did you break up the spirit of the old man? Being willing to risk your life to avenge the Meng family shows how deep your relationship with the old man is. In this case, how could Hou Ye not know that the real need of the old man is not just for revenge, but to tell the world, return to the pure name, and redress the injustice, Lord Hou Ask yourself, if Huangfu Yu is really killed today, and the Central Plains are in chaos, how will you face the old friend's inquiries when you see him again in the underworld?"
Ruan Fu could be said to be heartbroken with every sentence, Xu Zichang wanted to open his mouth when he heard the words, but he couldn't say a word anymore.
Marquis Wenchang listened in a daze, and after a long time, he closed his eyes, which already had the meaning of defeat.
The sword on Ruan Fu's body has been put down, but Ruan Fu is still standing in the middle of the stone room with a clean body, pursing his lips, looking at Wen Changhou and Xu Zichang with a cold and serious expression on his face.
Marquis Wenchang sat on a chair, propping up the table with one hand, his face was slumped, his voice seemed to be more than ten years old, "Why don't these old men understand what you said? It's just... It's not easy to get wronged, since you know the Meng family so well Don't you know that everything that happened six years ago was just a conspiracy? How could His Majesty agree to rehabilitate the Meng family? Once the Meng family is rehabilitated, he will be called a faint king who killed heroes? , the Xu family must have been secretly instructed to dare to be so blatant, and now it is the time when the Xu family is in power, how to do this?"
Ruan Fu sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "Is it possible to kill Huangfu Yu?"
If it is really possible, why should she wait until today, when she is resurrected on Ruan Fu, the first thing she will do is enter the palace to assassinate, instead of planning for so many years.
Marquis Wenchang naturally understood this truth. He looked at Ruan Fu, but he couldn't see what was in her eyes.
"When the Meng family had an accident, I was not in Huadu. When I returned to Huadu, the Meng family was gone, my only daughter was gone, and my little grandson who was not yet born was gone. But, I thought, living People should live a good life. I have been living on a mediocre life. I have been ignoring the world these years and plotting secretly, just to wait for the opportunity to bring the case of Mengshi and Mengshi to a retrial. However, what I am waiting for is what I am waiting for. Last year, Boss Hu’s house was ransacked and beheaded because of this incident... When the accident happened to the Meng family, I couldn’t do anything, and I was struggling to survive. I was suffering every day, and I was tortured all the time. When Boss Hu had an accident, I was powerless I only hate that the heavens have no eyes, and harm longevity! Now that I am powerless and unable to turn over, what can I do except go to a dead end? I am willing to be a sinner of the Xu family, and an old friend of the Meng family, and I am speechless to face the world Literati!"
When Xu Zichang heard this, he knelt down and his eyes turned red, "Father!"
Marquis Wenchang reached out and stroked Xu Zichang's hair, "It's just that you, as a descendant of our Xu family, have no ambitions in half your life. Not only can you not continue the Xu family's strength, but you also have to bear the crimes of the Xu family with your father."
Ruan Fu's eyes were slightly sore, but he could only bear it silently. He had never doubted the Xu family's affection for the Meng family. When something happened to the Meng family back then, Marquis Wenchang was still preserved, and Huangfu Yu and Huangfu Yu hadn't been aroused for a few years. The Xu family's attention is already her greatest comfort, and what she is least willing to do is Wenchanghou's taking risks for this. However, Wenchanghou is full of enthusiasm, and the Xu family's literati style, after all, let them choose another, more Intense outbursts.
It is a matter of humiliation for a literati to kill the king, and the Xu family has to bear so much responsibility to be forced to make such a decision.
She pulled the corners of her lips and looked at Marquis Wenchang, "The matter has not yet come to an end, so how does the Marquis know that today's event is the last choice the Xu family can make? Since Marquis has far-sighted plans, he will wait six years until the time of the alliance of the various nations." , why not take this opportunity to rehabilitate the old man?"
Marquis Wenchang raised his head and looked at Ruan Fu in surprise.
In this chapter, I thought I could finish the conversation and planning in the stone room, but...
Why are there so many conversations in a stone room, so many...
Ruan Er was so excited!
cough!I went to get my teeth filled today. I waited in line for a long time and had treatment for a long time, so the update is late. Sorry...
It is said that filling teeth has always been my nightmare. However, my own teeth are bad, and every time I am disgusted by my mother, "Look at your mouth full of bad teeth and can't eat, no wonder you are so thin!"
I... what can I do, blame the teeth, it's really bad teeth and thin three generations ah ah ah
I don't know what I'm talking about, please ignore my complaints [Dun]
(End of this chapter)
After the first day of probing, the second day's hunting ground competition was obviously much more exciting, but, although it was exciting, the expressions of the various countries were not very good-looking.
On the first day, Beiyan had already shown Beiyan's Eighteen Bears as its hole card. Although the envoys from various countries were already wary of this, after the first day's competition, they went back to discuss the plan to deal with Beiyan's Eighteen Bears, but , On the second day, Beiyan Eighteen Heroes dispatched 12 people to completely crush the envoys from other countries with superb skills, and shined brightly in the competition on the second day, although there are still warriors from various countries who can persist until the third On the first day, even on the third day, important fighters were left as the finale, but facing the powerful existence of Beiyan Shibaxiong, they didn't have much self-confidence.
The game on the second day came to an end amidst the worries of the countries, and the game on the third day was the most exciting time. This day will be the time when the first game of the National Alliance will be held to determine the winner , and the victory in the first battle is often the most inspiring and has the strongest deterrent effect.
Ruan Fu was sitting on the high platform, watching the competition between you and me in the arena of the hunting ground, and couldn't help but think of the last alliance of nations.
In the last alliance of nations, the winner of the hunting ground competition was Nanhua. She was still young at that time, but when she saw that on the hunting ground, only Nanhua's warriors stood at the top of the ring, and warriors from other countries did not dare to step forward , that kind of pride, at this moment, is still so clear in retrospect, as if it was still yesterday.
At that time, how proud she was of being the legitimate daughter of the Meng family, how proud that even though she was a daughter in this life, her father and brother provided her with a vast world, so that she was not just an ordinary woman confined to the house, she could see this The world is vast, she can see the prosperous capital of the powerful country in the Central Plains, she can also see the snow flying outside the Great Wall, and the pride of the yellow sand hunting, that short life, even if she escapes into the deep palace later, she still believes, recalling the past like this , I will definitely not leave any regrets anymore, the wishes of her father's generation, the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, burned her heart blazingly.
It's just... Now, when she watched the competition on the hunting ground again, she couldn't help shaking her head slightly in her heart.
Emperor Zhaolie is gone, Huangfu Yu has the ambitions of his father's generation, but he doesn't have the heart of his father's generation. This Nanhua is not the original Nanhua, it's just the situation of the past few years. The warriors of Nanhua are already so inappropriate.
In the three-day hunting ground competition, although compared with other small countries, Nanhua is not too ugly to lose, but compared with Beiyan, it is indeed not enough. The hunting ground competition on the third day is no longer the same as the first On the second day, there are usually multiple arenas in a large hunting ground, but only one, so everyone's eyes are on the arena, but...
What they saw before them was that one of Beiyan's eighteen bear warriors directly knocked Chen Guo's envoy off the ring within thirty moves. These thirty moves were already the longest that Nanhua's envoy could persist so far. A long time.
Huangfu Yu's expression was obviously not very good, but he raised his glass and looked at Yan Jing, "Bei Yan brought all the masters, and these eighteen heroes are really skilled, which opened my eyes. It seems that this At this time, there is not much suspense left."
Yan Jing smiled lazily, and raised her glass to pay respects to Huangfu Yu from a distance, "The Emperor of Nanhua praised me, this time I am here to participate in the Alliance of Nations, probably only the Eighteen Heroes of Beiyan can do it, and I can get a word from the Emperor of Nanhua Praise is their blessing."
Although he said so, who would believe that Beiyan's Eighteen Heroes are the only ones that Beiyan can fight, but judging from this hunting ground competition, I'm afraid Beiyan is more prepared in the back, but, Beiyan The people Yan brought seemed to be quite mysterious and low-key, but there were probably not a few of them who were as blockbuster as Bei Yan Shibaxiong in the competition.
When Huangfu Yu heard this, his eyes darkened, and he smiled faintly.
Everyone's eyes continued to look at the ring. After Nanhua's warrior went down, Beiyan's warrior with an axe did not step down, but continued to stand on the high platform to meet the next challenger.
He didn't wait for a long time. Following a figure leaping onto the ring, everyone's eyes turned to the envoy of Kingdom Chen. This was the first time the envoy of Kingdom Chen took the stage in the third day of the competition.
In yesterday's competition, the envoys of Kingdom Chen didn't see a big victory, but they didn't see a tragic loss either, it can only be said to be mediocre.
A cold smile appeared on Yan Jing's lips, and she raised an eyebrow towards Ruan Fu, Ruan Fu didn't seem to notice, but looked calmly at the ring.
The warriors of Chen Kingdom who took the stage this time use long spears as weapons. This long spear is not a rare thing. In the army, almost everyone can use it, and the long spear is not necessarily so expensive, except that the head of the spear is made of black iron. , the body of the gun is just a piece of wood.
The wooden spear against the black iron ax of Shangbeiyan Shibaxiong, this...
Everyone looked at Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue with subtle expressions, "It's really interesting to match a spear against an axe." Xia Houyan laughed and said first.
"Hehe, wood is facing Xuantie, isn't it right to meet each other?" The fourth prince Xihu sneered.
Ruan Fu remained silent, his eyes were still on the ring, and while the two were talking, the competition on the ring had already begun.
The warriors of Chen Kingdom held long spears, and the warriors of Beiyan had two axes. The two figures on the arena were moving fast, and the movements were fast and dazzling. Almost most of the time is spent avoiding the attacks of Beiyan warriors.
However, what is surprising is that after fifty strokes, the two sides are still fighting in the arena, and there is no intention of stopping at all, and the outcome between the two sides is even more difficult to decide now.
The most obvious feature is that there are two people on the ring, one is attacking and the other is defending. The playfulness in everyone's eyes gradually disappeared, even Yan Jing's expression became a little serious, and the lazy smile on his face also slowly disappeared at this moment. Wei Wei sat upright, looking at the two figures fighting on the ring.
Just when the two fighters on the ring had gone through hundreds of moves and still hadn't decided the outcome, Yan Jing finally looked at Ruan Fu, "Chen Guo fighters are very skilled, I don't know who this is?"
Ruan Fu pulled his lips into a smile, "It's just a nameless area, so you shouldn't be asked by the king. It's just that when the prince chooses someone to come, he sees that this person is good at wielding a spear, so he can bring some experience."
When Ruan Fu said this, there was a smile in his eyes, and his tone was quite helpless, but everyone was surprised when they heard it.
There is no need for Ruan Fu to lie about this matter. She said so, even this person is just a little-known warrior among the warriors of Chen Kingdom.
Yan Jing narrowed her eyes, "Really, it's just that in the previous two days of competition, I have never seen such an outstanding character."
"I'm afraid that the monarch will look down upon him. If he hadn't been on stage, how could he survive the competition on the third day? However, he is a good gun. I'm afraid that during these two days, he often observes the eighteen contestants brought by the monarch. A master, I just want to learn and learn from others' strengths."
Ruan Fu said with a smile, "When going out, Ruan Fu warned them that this trip to the alliance of various countries focuses on learning and increasing their knowledge. They have kept these words in their hearts, and it seems that This trip to Nanhua is worthwhile."
When Ruan Fu said this, everyone was startled. In the past two days, the warriors of Chen Kingdom have been so low-key. Could it be that...in fact, they are saving it for today, wanting to observe the routines of warriors from various countries, and then find a way to break it?
Everyone was still shocked by Ruan Fu's words, and a surprised voice came from the high platform, "Look!"
The envoys on the high platform followed the sound and saw that the scene on the high platform had changed. The Northern Yan warriors and Chen Guo warriors who originally belonged to one attack and one defense had changed their situation. At this juncture, the spears in the hands of the warriors of Chen Kingdom were superb, and when the warriors of Beiyan were holding double axes in their hands, the envoys of Chen Kingdom did not dodge in a hurry like the previous warriors, but went up with their spears. Originally, the envoy of Beiyan held a black iron ax that was almost blown away, and it was supposed to be able to split the spears of the warriors of Chen Kingdom, but when his two axes were about to split the spears, the spears of the warriors of Chen Kingdom turned into a force that pierced through the air. Taking the appearance of the Chen Kingdom warrior, the Chen Kingdom warrior can only change the direction of the twin axes instantly, but as soon as he changes the direction of the twin axes, the Chen Kingdom envoy's spear deflects, and the sharp edge of the gun cuts the Beiyan envoy's wrist directly.
The Beiyan envoy didn't have time to defend, his wrist veins were cut, and the spear in his hand was thrown out. The Chen Guo envoy's spear and wooden stick directly lifted the Beiyan warrior out of the ring and fell heavily to the ground.
The instant change seemed to be just a blink of an eye, and everyone could hardly see how the offensive and defensive momentum would change, and they could only see Beiyan's defeat.
Seeing this, Beiyan's envoys stood up abruptly, and looked at Chen Guo with righteous indignation, "Chen Guo hurt my Beiyan warrior, what is the meaning of this?"
Yu Wuhen smiled brightly, "The competition in the arena uses a knife to rob, the sword has no eyes, how can it really be unscathed? This is not what you said, besides, isn't this person still alive and well, and he will be cultivated when he arrives at the Kingdom of the Kingdoms After the alliance is over, that person will definitely be able to escort you back to Beiyan."
But Beiyan's envoy still looked bad, and it was true that he didn't hurt anyone's life, but that person's wrist veins were cut, how could he hold an ax in the future, wouldn't he be a useless person?
Yan Linglong snorted coldly, "A mere martial artist, I'm afraid it's an expert hidden by Chen Guo, who just appeared like this today, Ruan Tong knows a good plan."
Ruan Fu smiled faintly, "Princess, thank you, but... this person is indeed not a master." She shook her head slightly.
People didn't quite believe Ruan Fu's words. When Ruan Fu saw this, he shook his head and said, "In this world, everything is interdependent. Harmony, follow each other, all things are in the same row, martial arts are naturally inseparable from these principles, although Beiyan Eighteen Heroes have mastered the weapons they use, and have become masters in the world, which makes people frightened. However, on the other hand, this advantage of Beiyan Eighteen Heroes may not be his own disadvantage. When things are almost completely unfamiliar, this advantage becomes a disadvantage, just like everyone thinks that you will be hurt if you are under the Huiji."
In the middle of Ruan Fu's speech, he looked at the people with complicated expressions, and finally, his eyes would stay on You Guang, "The general is the number one expert in the Wu Kingdom. Ruan Fu heard that the general is obsessed with martial arts. The experience in this aspect is more profound, right?"
You Guang was stunned for a moment, recalling Ruan Fu's previous words carefully, and nodded with a solemn expression, "Ruan Tongzhi really has extensive knowledge, even if he doesn't have martial arts, he can understand the way of martial arts."
Ruan Fu shook his head, "Great General, Ruan Fu doesn't know the way of martial arts, but whether it is the way of martial arts, the way of governing the world, or even the ordinary way of eating, they are all the ways of the world. After mastering this way, a weapon can become a person's strengths, expertise, and even become the only one, but in this way, at a certain time, he can be a strong player in the world, but at a certain time, he can only be no different from ordinary people, because , the way of weapons is also inseparable from the original way. Long and short restrain each other, square and circle oppose each other, long sword overcomes spear, sharp ax defeats sword, silver spear defeats axe, contradictions kill each other, cycle in and out, all kinds of cycles, the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint of eighteen kinds of weapons , Just like the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements, it also stems from the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint of all things. Therefore, in this world, there is no absolute weapon, and there is no absolute strong opponent. Weapons, cultivated to their only strength is also the biggest flaw."
After she said such a long paragraph, everyone felt a sense of enlightenment, and suddenly understood something.
Sure enough, when she finished speaking, another one of Beiyan's Eighteen Heroes who wanted to challenge on stage because of the victory of the Chen Kingdom envoy was kicked off the ring again. This time, it was a person from Chen Kingdom who used a spear Beat Beiyan who uses the hammer.
Seeing this, the envoys of Beiyan stood up, "Why aren't the warriors of Chen Kingdom fighting with long spears?"
"The challenger who came to the stage in the competition cannot retire, otherwise he will be regarded as conceding defeat. However, there is no rule that the winner cannot choose an opponent. Since it is mutual generation and mutual restraint, it is natural to choose conditions that are beneficial to oneself." Chen Guo immediately had someone After comprehending the essence of Ruan Phuc's words, he opened his mouth and said.
This is indeed the truth. When everyone heard the words, Fang realized that the envoys of Beiyan could only swallow their anger.
Yan Jing looked deeply at Ruan Fu, "Ruan Tongzhi really impresses me."
"The Monarch of Beiyan congratulates me." Ruan Fu said indifferently.
The competition in the arena is still going on, but since the envoy of Chen Kingdom defeated the envoy of Beiyan, the eighteen heroes of Beiyan are no longer the undefeated army in the arena.
After Ruan Fu uttered his voice, Huangfu Yu's eyes stayed on Ruan Fu for a long time, "Ruan Tongzhi's words are familiar to me."
"It's the same in the world." Ruan Fu said.
Huangfu Yu's eyes did not leave Ruan Fu, but he looked at Zhao Jin, one of Nanhua's courtiers, "Zhao Jin, you must be familiar with these words."
Zhao Jin also looked at Ruan Fu with complicated eyes when she heard the words, "When I was apprenticed to my teacher to learn the art of war, I used this as my enlightenment."
Who is Zhao Jin's military teacher, no one in Nanhua knows.
Ruan Fu just smiled lightly when he heard this, and continued, "There is no way in the world without this way, and the art of war is naturally one of them. General Zhao can use soldiers like a god, and I think he has already realized the truth."
Zhao Jin said, "Zhao Jin hasn't really understood the truth. In the future, I should ask Ruan Tongzhi for advice."
"I dare not. However, Ruan Fu has indeed learned something about the way of warfare. In the future, if he can learn from General Zhao and learn how to use soldiers from the Zhao family army, it will be a great blessing."
As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone exclaimed in their hearts.
However, facing her, no one dared to suspect that Ruan Fu's words were false.
She looked leisurely, and the competition on the hunting ground was still going on. You Guang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up, and cupped his hands towards Ruan Fu, "Listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books. Today, Ruan Tongzhi told You Guang I am enlightened, I have some understanding in martial arts, and I will be able to improve when I return to Wu State in the future, You Guang would like to thank Ruan Tongzhi for the reminder."
Ruan Fu smiled, "The general is polite, if so, Ruan Fu is here to congratulate the general for his improvement in martial arts."
You Guang laughed loudly, and there was a sudden sense of relief in his expression.
Over there, Wu Mian, a well-known scholar of the Wu Kingdom, suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Ruan Fu, "Mian thought that what he learned from studying for [-] years had been used for half his life. Hearing what Ruan Tongzhi said today, Fang Juemian What you have learned has not reached the truth."
Ruan Fu was a little surprised that Wu Mian would be like this, but he just nodded lightly.
Seeing this scene, the envoys from various countries on the high platform all had complicated expressions.
Yan Jing looked at the competition on the ring, squinted her eyes, and looked at Ruan Fu, "Ruan Tongzhi is not hesitating to teach me, if everyone here can understand this profound truth, and return the same way to others, I don't know if Ruan Tongzhi will regret today's mistake." Gao Yi preaches?"
Everyone's face changed when they heard the words, but Ruan Fu's expression was relaxed, "The monarch also said that today is Ruan Fu's preaching, so, how can the things that come out of Ruan Fu's hands become a sharp weapon for me? "
I'm afraid that no one in this world can say such arrogant words, but Ruan Fu said them so calmly, which makes people feel that there is no abruptness.
The people on the high platform looked complicated, but they didn't speak any more.
The competition in the morning was started by Chen Guo, and there will be a break at noon. Therefore, in the strange atmosphere, the first half of the hunting ground competition on the third day has come to an end, but the reversal on the third day is like this Surprisingly, after lunch, the envoys from all over the world summoned the warriors who will continue the competition this afternoon to discuss countermeasures.
In this regard, the one who seemed unusually calm was probably only the envoy of the Kingdom of Chen.
After lunch, Ruan Fu did not stay in the hunting ground, but left.
Just after noon, the afternoon competition began, but Ruan Fu was no longer present on the envoy seat of Kingdom Chen. Seeing this, Huangfu Yu looked at Yu Wujue, "Prince Jin, why don't you see Ruan Tongzhi?"
"She is not a martial artist, so she has no interest in such competitions." Yu Wujue said concisely and didn't notice anything.
It's just that the corners of the lips of the others twitched when they heard the words.
Not interested, but who turned the situation around this morning?However, everyone did not doubt this. Indeed, Ruan Fu was not interested in the comparison test. Not only Beiyan came here with a purpose, but also Chen Country. Beiyan stole the show two days ago. Today, it should be Chen Country too. It turned out that she had been able to predict it, and she still had her own things to do.
She was not at the hunting ground in the afternoon of the second day, so her absence on the third day would not make people feel awkward.
As soon as the hunting drum sounded, the competition resumed.
Yu Wujue's eyes were fixed on the hunting ground, and his fingers on the table lightly tapped on the tabletop, wondering what he was thinking.
At the same time, the basement of the high platform of the hunting ground was not solid ground, but an empty room dug at some unknown time.
The empty room didn't look damp, and the candles were still lit, but at this moment, it was obvious that someone was walking inside, although the noise was so small that even a person with strong martial arts would never know what was going on on the high platform. It was actually a scene where someone was working.
Even with candlelight, it was still a bit dark in the basement, a middle-aged old man stood with his hands behind his back, and beside him stood a young son.
After Xu Zichang inspected the inner room, he walked to the middle-aged old man, "Father, you are ready."
Marquis Wenchang hummed lightly. He couldn't hear any other emotions in his voice. It was only after a long time that he turned his head and looked at his son who had already endured too much in this world after a weak crown. He sighed and said, "Chang'er, do you blame your father?"
Xu Zichang's face never showed half of the frivolous and playful look he saw in Huadu on weekdays. The corners of his lips raised slightly, and there was a sense of youthful pride in his expression. It is the disaster of the people to fail to distinguish loyalty from traitors!"
Hearing this, Marquis Wenchang sighed softly, "This road is for my father's sake, but you are still young, and there are more possibilities in the future. The Central Plains is so big, there is always a place for you, Chen Guo The national style is open, if you are not in Nanhua, go to Chen Country, with the enlightenment of Chen Country, there may not be no place for development."
Xu Zichang said, "Father, my son will not leave."
Marquis Wenchang sighed and didn't say anything else. The father and son were silent in the somewhat dark inner room until they heard a slight voice from Shibi.
Xu Zichang was a martial arts practitioner, so he naturally heard the movement and suddenly looked in the direction of Shimen.
When the people in the stone room heard the voice, they also nervously looked in the direction of the stone gate, with long knives already in their hands, as if they were going to let the person come die by the knife if the matter was revealed.
Xu Zichang had already protected Marquis Wenchang behind him, holding a throwing knife in his hand, and looked in the direction of Shimen vigilantly. On both sides of the Shimen, there were already four people standing, all of them were inside, and there were no one of his own outside. If someone really came, it would definitely not be one of our own.
With the sound of the falling machine, the stone gate slowly opened. Xu Zichang only had time to see a piece of blue clothes, and the throwing knife in his hand had already shot out, and the people guarding both sides of the stone gate had already thrown their long swords towards the corner of the gate. Those who come to the door go.
However, the flying knife in Xu Zichang's hand did not hit the person who appeared at the door, only a ding dong sound was heard. In an instant, the long knife in his hand was placed on the neck of the visitor.
Ruan Fu lowered his eyes and glanced at the taster on his neck, then slowly turned his gaze to the inner room, and when he saw Xu Zichang and Marquis Wenchang, he said with a smile, "Young master's kung fu is really extraordinary."
It was Ruan Fu and Tsing Yi who appeared at the door.
Everyone in the hunting ground said that Ruan Fu left the hunting ground and returned to the post house, and Ruan Fu did return to the post house, but no one knew that Tsing Yi took her away again, and appeared at the hunting ground of the South China Alliance In the underground palace.
When Xu Zichang heard this, surprise flashed across his eyes, but he didn't let anyone remove the knife from the necks of Ruan Fu and Qingyi, "Chen Guo Ruan Tongzhi."
His voice was low, and he obviously didn't understand why Ruan Fu could appear in this place.
Seeing this, Marquis Wenchang scolded in a deep voice, "This is the Nanhua Hunting Field Palace, why did Ruan Tongzhi appear here?"
Ruan Fu looked at Marquis Wenchang who was three feet away from him in the inner room, and squinted his eyes, "This is the Nanhua Hunting Field Palace. If people from the royal family don't know, I would like to ask, why Marquis Wenchang appeared here?"
After Ruan Fu's eyes wandered around in the inner room, his brows narrowed slightly. It seems that Marquis Wenchang is really not a small picture.
Seeing this, Tsing Yi clasped his hands and said, "Mu Qingyi, the daughter of Mu's family, has seen Marquis Wenchang."
Marquis Wen Chang turned his gaze to Tsing Yi, pursed his lips and said nothing, but after a long time, he said to Ruan Fu, "Ruan Tong knows what this means?"
Ruan Fu swept around the people in the stone room, his voice was cold, "I came to see Marquis Wenchang today, Ruan Fu just wanted to ask Marquis Wenchang a question, does Marquis Wenchang want to cause disputes among the countries in the Central Plains at this moment, and plunge the Central Plains into flames of war?" middle?"
She asked bluntly, her voice was slightly cold, and she was unstoppable. She approached Marquis Wenchang, causing Marquis Wenchang to pause. In the flickering lights, she seemed to see an outstanding and bright figure.
After being taken aback for a while, he heard an echo from the stone room, "Hahaha, everyone in the world says that Meng Changqing, a famous scholar in the world, is unparalleled in intelligence, courageous and decisive. When I saw him today, he really deserved his reputation. Even Huangfu Yu didn't pay attention to the old man. Many things happened in Huadu No one suspected the old man, unexpectedly, the first person who discovered the old man was a person who had just entered Huadu."
After all, Marquis Wen Chang flicked his sleeves, and Ruan Fu and Qing Yi were pushed into the stone room. Following Ruan Fu's entry, the stone room fell down again with a bang, blocking the way back.
By saying this, he obviously admitted without fear that he was the mastermind of certain things.
Ruan Fu sighed, "It's because Lord Hou has hidden it too deeply for so many years. The whole of Nanhua can forget that there was once a family of literati in the Central Plains. The world may have forgotten the proud Xu family back then, but Ruan Fu dared not Forget, Master Hou has endured for many years, isn't it just for the sake of future generations, why did he do this today to cut off Xu's blood?"
Marquis Wenchang had a hint of forbearance in his eyes. Although the former Xu family was not as good as the Meng family, it also had its own strength of character. You want to put your life's ideals in your family and country, raise your arms and shout, and attract thousands of people, but... the Central Plains has not yet been established, and the Xu family has been gradually struggling to move forward under the suppression of successive emperors. Those ideals and passions have long been ruled by fate. Doused out.
However, human strength cannot be extinguished.
Marquis Wenchang looked at Ruan Fu with a complicated expression. Everyone thought that the Xu family had changed, but who knew that due to the situation, the Xu family had no choice but to retreat. With a sneer, Marquis Wenchang said, "The old man finally understands why people in the world With such reverence for Ruan Tongzhi, his ability to directly hit people's hearts, and his eloquent eloquence, I am afraid that no one can hold out for long under Ruan Tongzhi's offensive."
"Father..." Xu Zichang stood aside, looking at Marquis Wenchang with some concern.
Ruan Fu didn't feel any emotional dissatisfaction with Wen Changhou's words, she kept looking directly at Wen Changhou, "200 years ago, the Xu family established a family, when the Great Wei was in turmoil and the Central Plains was divided, the Xu family was not afraid It is said that he went directly out of the mountains and turned the tide for the reunification of the Central Plains. How many literati and students are not afraid of swords and swords, many of them are men of blood, and they are not afraid of conspiracy and danger. Even in the most difficult period, Xu's strength of character is still admired by the world. No fear, no retreat from the fire, even the weak body of the literati, how many people defended their strength in the face of the enemy's torture and extortion of confessions, under the leadership of the Xu family, the literati at that time, kissed each other without appointment, In the past 200 years, the Xu family has experienced the corruption and demise of the Great Wei Dynasty, the division of the Central Plains, and various difficult times since the founding of Nanhua. From Emperor Taizu to the present, the Xu family The ups and downs experienced are probably more complicated than that of the royal family, and they can see the situation of the world more clearly. As a descendant of the Xu family, Lord Hou must know the process better than anyone else. However, what is a family and what is a country? When Hou Ye was a young man, he once said frankly that the people are the country, and the family is the world. Now, before the family and the country are established, will Xu's strength of character be broken?"
The Xu family is not as influential as the Meng family, but before the Xu family was suppressed and gradually declined, it was still a banner of the literati in the world. As the head of the South China literati, how could the Meng family not understand that these things are all caused by Ruan In her previous life, she just heard it from her grandfather. The stories of the Xu family and the Meng family were part of the spirit buried in her heart during her teenage years, which contributed to her endless life in the future.
She stood in the stone room with a knife and an ax on her body, but she met the eyes of Marquis Wenchang. In one sentence, she explained the ups and downs of the Xu family, and the original appearance of the Xu family that the world has long forgotten.
Wen Changhou heard this, his body trembled suddenly, he couldn't take it anymore, and he was about to collapse to the ground.
How could those years be forgotten?
Xu Zichang was so surprised that he couldn't speak. In his generation, besides the family motto of the Xu family, he could still glimpse some old people's demeanor in the ever-changing situation. When he was young, he heard a few words about the past of the Xu family from his parents. , Xu family, in his mind, there is a big blank, if Ruan Fu is not so blunt today, I am afraid that he still does not know the history of his ancestors, so difficult.
Xu Zichang supported Wenchanghou in a daze, and saw that Wenchanghou's face was already a little pale, and he couldn't help but become more worried, "Father."
He sat down on the chair beside Wenchanghou's sidewalk, seeing Wenchanghou's pale face, suppressed his surprise, turned his head and glared at Ruan Fu, "Did Ruan Tongzhi come to punish my father today?"
Ruan Fu's eyes moved slightly, seeing Wenchanghou's appearance, he couldn't bear it, but, if he hadn't exposed Wenchanghou's scars in this way, and brought out the past of the Xu family in front of Wenchanghou, it would have I'm afraid, Marquis Wenchang will still be tormented by hatred and go crazy.
She didn't say a word, just looked at Marquis Wenchang, and after Marquis Wenchang sat down, he smiled dejectedly, "Unexpectedly, Ruan Tongzhi knew so clearly about the past that even Chang'er didn't know about."
Sitting on the chair, he squinted at Ruan Fu and Tsing Yi standing next to Ruan Fu, both of them were silent.
Marquis Wenchang looked at Tsing Yi, and said, "After the case of the Meng family happened, the Mu family also suffered a great disaster because of it. How did you survive?"
Tsing Yi pursed her lips and said after saluting to Marquis Wenchang, "The Mu Mansion was slaughtered secretly. I was still young, and it was my mother who hid me in a vase. The nanny's granddaughter helped me escape for my son, leaving the last bloodline for the Mu family."
Marquis Wenchang's eyes were complicated, "Now that the Mu family is in your hands, the management is a great success. You tell the old man, have you ever thought about avenging the Mu family when you come back this time?"
Tsing Yi's voice was cold, "The Mu family died tragically back then, Tsing Yi always remembers it in his heart, and has never forgotten it for many years. If you don't avenge this revenge, you won't do it for the Mu family!"
Marquis Wenchang laughed and looked at Ruan Fu, "Since Ruan Tongzhi understands the past of my Xu family so well, how can he know what kind of family the Meng family in Nanhua is. Six years ago, the Meng family tragedy occurred. The Meng family was charged with treason and conspiracy There are dozens of members of the Meng family, and no one is left alive... Ruan Tongzhi knows that the Xu family still has such a character, but also knows that the Meng family is even stronger? That is the heart of the Nanhua literati! How did the Meng family work hard for Nanhua? The unification of the Central Plains is heart-wrenching, but a case that has not been reviewed directly pushed the head of Nanhua's literati to the guillotine for treason, and Ruan Tongzhi knows what kind of human tragedy this is, what kind of world's injustice?" Wen Changhou said In the end, he looked excited.
Ruan Fu lowered his eyes, and when he listened carefully, he could hear another emotion in his voice, "So Lord Hou used this stone room today to let Huangfu Yu be buried on the high platform of the hunting ground at the last moment of the hunting ground competition. To comfort the souls of the Meng family?"
"That's right! That's what this old man planned today. The Meng family is dedicated to serving the people, and everyone knows what happened in the end. How many talented students in Nanhua were forced to stay away from Huadu in the end. Whose fault is it? After many years, Mr. Hu Bringing up the Meng family case again, His Majesty did not even try the trial and then punished him for the crime of rebelling against the party. Just like in the past, he is so stupid! Such an emperor is not worthy of being an emperor!" Marquis Wen Chang stood up and said fiercely, "Ruan Tongzhi is an outsider. Even if you know the past of my Xu family, so what? You came to stop the old man today because you were afraid that what the old man did today would not benefit your country Chen. The kingdom of Chen is getting stronger day by day. At that time, you stopped the old man today just because you were afraid that what the old man would do would be harmful to your country Chen, Ruan Tongzhi need not worry, once something happened to Huangfu Yu, it would be the time when you conquered the Central Plains when the country Chen went south, let alone the old man What you have done is harmful to your country Chen, but it is harmless to Baili!"
Ruan Fu smiled coldly, "It's a good one with no harm, then Marquis Wenchang knows, if Huangfu Yu died on the high platform today, what will happen to the National Congress next time, let alone Huangfu Yu has no heirs, even if there are, the weak will be in power Seeing how Lord Hou looks like today, he must also want to die with Huangfu Yu. The Xu family is a family of literati and cannot bear the stigma of killing a monarch. Lord Hou must apologise with death. This has fulfilled the name of the Xu family, but When Huangfu Yu dies, who will be in charge of the overall situation, is it the Xu family? Hmph, Nanhua will be in chaos, the Central Plains will be destroyed, Xihu, Xiyue, and Nanliang will take the opportunity to carve up Nanhua, and the Northern Yan will go south, and Anxia will have no scruples , when the time comes, not only will the Central Plains once again become chaotic due to the loss of balance in Nanhua, but Anxia will also take the opportunity to go south. This is what Hou Ye would like to see. This is the sacrifice that Hou Ye made when he abandoned the Xu family for a hundred years in the name of revenge. It is really a great sacrifice. Presumably the ancestors of the Xu family have spirits in the sky, and they must sacrifice for Hou Ye's wise feat today. Rejoice!"
At the end, Ruan Fu's voice was full of anger, with bulging veins on his forehead, and reddish eyes. Although she was a weak woman, Wen Changhou looked at her, as if seeing a green bamboo breaking the sky, and was stunned for a long time. Unable to say a word, he also forgot the meaning of humiliating the Xu family in Ruan Fu's words.
On the contrary, Xu Zichang was full of enthusiasm because of his youth. He glared at Ruan Fu and said, "It's a disaster for the people to lose the king's power! You are not from the Meng family, you are not from the Xu family, and you are not from Nanhua students. What do you know? What Ruan Tongzhi said today, It's just empty reasoning!"
Ruan Fu looked directly at Xu Zichang, even Xu Zichang, a man in Ruan Fu's sight, felt the pressure, "The Xu family can die, but you are also not the Meng family, so how do you know that the Meng family is willing to let the Xu family take revenge?" The slogan turned the Central Plains into a mess, and how do you know that the Meng family is willing to get involved with the Xu family again before the revenge? Since you know that the Meng family is the heart of the Central Plains, why did you break up the spirit of the old man? Being willing to risk your life to avenge the Meng family shows how deep your relationship with the old man is. In this case, how could Hou Ye not know that the real need of the old man is not just for revenge, but to tell the world, return to the pure name, and redress the injustice, Lord Hou Ask yourself, if Huangfu Yu is really killed today, and the Central Plains are in chaos, how will you face the old friend's inquiries when you see him again in the underworld?"
Ruan Fu could be said to be heartbroken with every sentence, Xu Zichang wanted to open his mouth when he heard the words, but he couldn't say a word anymore.
Marquis Wenchang listened in a daze, and after a long time, he closed his eyes, which already had the meaning of defeat.
The sword on Ruan Fu's body has been put down, but Ruan Fu is still standing in the middle of the stone room with a clean body, pursing his lips, looking at Wen Changhou and Xu Zichang with a cold and serious expression on his face.
Marquis Wenchang sat on a chair, propping up the table with one hand, his face was slumped, his voice seemed to be more than ten years old, "Why don't these old men understand what you said? It's just... It's not easy to get wronged, since you know the Meng family so well Don't you know that everything that happened six years ago was just a conspiracy? How could His Majesty agree to rehabilitate the Meng family? Once the Meng family is rehabilitated, he will be called a faint king who killed heroes? , the Xu family must have been secretly instructed to dare to be so blatant, and now it is the time when the Xu family is in power, how to do this?"
Ruan Fu sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "Is it possible to kill Huangfu Yu?"
If it is really possible, why should she wait until today, when she is resurrected on Ruan Fu, the first thing she will do is enter the palace to assassinate, instead of planning for so many years.
Marquis Wenchang naturally understood this truth. He looked at Ruan Fu, but he couldn't see what was in her eyes.
"When the Meng family had an accident, I was not in Huadu. When I returned to Huadu, the Meng family was gone, my only daughter was gone, and my little grandson who was not yet born was gone. But, I thought, living People should live a good life. I have been living on a mediocre life. I have been ignoring the world these years and plotting secretly, just to wait for the opportunity to bring the case of Mengshi and Mengshi to a retrial. However, what I am waiting for is what I am waiting for. Last year, Boss Hu’s house was ransacked and beheaded because of this incident... When the accident happened to the Meng family, I couldn’t do anything, and I was struggling to survive. I was suffering every day, and I was tortured all the time. When Boss Hu had an accident, I was powerless I only hate that the heavens have no eyes, and harm longevity! Now that I am powerless and unable to turn over, what can I do except go to a dead end? I am willing to be a sinner of the Xu family, and an old friend of the Meng family, and I am speechless to face the world Literati!"
When Xu Zichang heard this, he knelt down and his eyes turned red, "Father!"
Marquis Wenchang reached out and stroked Xu Zichang's hair, "It's just that you, as a descendant of our Xu family, have no ambitions in half your life. Not only can you not continue the Xu family's strength, but you also have to bear the crimes of the Xu family with your father."
Ruan Fu's eyes were slightly sore, but he could only bear it silently. He had never doubted the Xu family's affection for the Meng family. When something happened to the Meng family back then, Marquis Wenchang was still preserved, and Huangfu Yu and Huangfu Yu hadn't been aroused for a few years. The Xu family's attention is already her greatest comfort, and what she is least willing to do is Wenchanghou's taking risks for this. However, Wenchanghou is full of enthusiasm, and the Xu family's literati style, after all, let them choose another, more Intense outbursts.
It is a matter of humiliation for a literati to kill the king, and the Xu family has to bear so much responsibility to be forced to make such a decision.
She pulled the corners of her lips and looked at Marquis Wenchang, "The matter has not yet come to an end, so how does the Marquis know that today's event is the last choice the Xu family can make? Since Marquis has far-sighted plans, he will wait six years until the time of the alliance of the various nations." , why not take this opportunity to rehabilitate the old man?"
Marquis Wenchang raised his head and looked at Ruan Fu in surprise.
In this chapter, I thought I could finish the conversation and planning in the stone room, but...
Why are there so many conversations in a stone room, so many...
Ruan Er was so excited!
cough!I went to get my teeth filled today. I waited in line for a long time and had treatment for a long time, so the update is late. Sorry...
It is said that filling teeth has always been my nightmare. However, my own teeth are bad, and every time I am disgusted by my mother, "Look at your mouth full of bad teeth and can't eat, no wonder you are so thin!"
I... what can I do, blame the teeth, it's really bad teeth and thin three generations ah ah ah
I don't know what I'm talking about, please ignore my complaints [Dun]
