Chapter 17 The Emperor's Decision

Someone who shouldn't have appeared appeared in such a swaggering manner.In astonishment, everyone in the room stood still.And when the door was closed again, blocking the sound of wind and snow outside, "Ji" surrounded the surroundings with an indescribable "on the verge of triggering".

It's just that this "sabi" didn't last long, and the guide was soon ignited by a hand.

That hand was moving extremely slowly, but it attracted a piercing sword from Fei Tianhao's clothes.Because, that hand came to Nan Gongwei and went to Zhan Zhao.It is also because everyone can see clearly that Zhan Zhao can move but not move, Nan Gong can only be fast but not fast.

——The neck was slaughtered, but it was mediocre.

But no matter whether Zhan Zhao is willing or not, Bai Yutang's sword will never make him willing, let alone Nangong Wei.

Yunlang's sword energy is like a dragon, and his murderous aura is like a torrent.With the strong oppression coming, it is no wonder that Han Mengfei shouted vigilantly: "Protect the little prince."So, it's no wonder that Feng He shouted in a low voice: "Protect Your Majesty." Everyone was also on alert.

The thread that had already been taut was stretched to the limit at this moment, and it was about to break at any moment.

So, almost at the same moment, Zhan Zhao, who was not supposed to move, moved again.Even though he was still kneeling before, when Prince Chai's family was about to draw their last bladed weapon, Zhan Zhao's men were already in the air, and Zhan Zhao's sword had already been unsheathed.

Slash with a sword.

all broken.

Han Mengfei's expression changed suddenly.

Duan Zhongyi's attack is imminent.

However, in response to the "one after another" of the sound of the broken weapon falling to the ground, Zhan Zhao did not go further to snatch the head with a sword as everyone expected, but turned the "point of the gun" and turned around as no one expected.

Zhan Lu left his hand like a broken bamboo.Compared with Zhan Zhao's "be merciful" that he followed closely, he was not too slow.

What exactly is Zhan Zhao's plan?

Who is Zhanlu throwing at?Who is the "mercy" said to?

I don't know.I don't know.

Zhan Zhao's thoughts are by no means measurable or measurable.At this time, the thrilling and thrilling situation does not allow people to think about it.The only thing to do is to wait for the truth that can be seen to reveal itself—when Zhanlu bumps into Yunlang; into his hand; when Bai Yutang pressed his hands against Nangong Wei's left arm.

"Good work." Han Mengfei's eyes lit up, and he blurted out praise.

Qiao Tianyuan stroked his beard and smiled, and Duan Zhongyi couldn't help saying: "It's wonderful."

Bai Yutang's face looked disheveled, his brows were full of anger, but he couldn't express it at all.Because he has a sharp mind, he has already suffered a complete defeat.Even without Zhan Zhao's obstruction, he might not be able to get out of Nangongwei's twenty moves.Just for a short moment, when Nangong Weimiao grabbed the sword with his hand, it even brushed against the vital acupoint.Sure enough, the rumors in the world are true, "It is better to offend Mr. Buju's sword than to offend his hands", because his hands are thousands of times more terrifying than his sword.

Zhan Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, hurried forward and respectfully said: "Thank you, Master, for your mercy."

Nan Gongwei turned a deaf ear, didn't even look away, just stared at Bai Yutang firmly, looking up and down: "Boy, what's your name?"

Bai Yutang said displeasedly: "Since the boy has suffered a crushing defeat, it's worth not mentioning his name."

Nangong Wei said with a smile: "He has quite a temper. Even your master would not dare to play such a temper when he sees this old man."

Bai Yutang was slightly startled: "You know my master?"

"It's hard not to know. The old man took your right palm just now, but you have the guts to throw away your sword and use the move 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth' to take the old man's life. You can come up with such a trick that hurts others and does not benefit yourself. Peeping all over the rivers and lakes, who else is there besides the humble Taoist?" With a cold snort, Nangong Wei turned his gaze from Bai Yutang to Zhan Zhao, but the words were still aimed at Bai Yutang, "Modest and humble, but not humble and discordant." .I see that you kid didn't learn [-]% of that bull-nosed kung fu, but you have inherited a full [-]% of your temper. Why, your master didn't bother the old man enough, so he taught you a chinchilla, and continue to trouble my apprentice. , yes or no?"

Finally facing Zhan Zhao squarely, his tone softened so stiffly that he could clearly hear the voice of concern. "Master has heard about it. This Baiyutang has caused a lot of trouble for you and the Kaifeng Mansion. A while ago, the Five Rats were looking for you all over the world, so they must be trying to find fault with you, right? Master knows that you are gentle by nature and don't like people. Care about, but you can't let people climb on top of you, do you understand Zhao'er?"

Zhan Zhao knew that Nangong Wei's old problem was repeated.He is strict internally, but externally protects his weaknesses to death.Guessing that the rumors heard by Nangong Wei may have been taken out of context, but the big things come first, and Zhan Zhao feels that it is worth not to explain these small things.But Bai Yutang didn't think so, and was furious when he heard this.He said: "Even if I caused Zhan Zhao a lot of trouble, he and I are friends rather than enemies. So what about Mr. Buju? Even if you are Zhan Zhao's master, you are now his enemy."

"Boy, you..."

Smelling danger, Zhan Zhao said anxiously: "Brother Bai has no intention of offending Master, and I hope Master will send Wang Han a lot."

"Don't plead for me, I don't think I'm wrong." Bai Yutang became more and more agitated, and turned to Zhan Zhao, "Mao'er, are you an idiot? Even if he is your master, even if he is kind to you, why are you so in vain?" Let him kill him?" Staring at Nangong Wei, "I'm a guy who always makes trouble for others. So I will never let you kill him!"

"Kill him?" Nangong Wei laughed loudly, "Boy, if I really want to kill Zhao'er, even ten Bai Yutangs can't stop me." He glanced at Zhan Zhao with a respectful expression, pondered for a while, and then turned back. When he looked at Bai Yutang, his arms had already withdrawn.With one hand and one throw, the two swords returned to their original owners.

But now Bai Yutang couldn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"For the sake of Zhaoer's pleading for you, I will let you go. By the way, I am not the same as that bull-nosed man. The apprentice I accept in Nangong is by no means the kind of idiot who doesn't even know whether I want to kill or take something." People who can't tell the difference."

Without giving the dazed Bai Yutang time to think, he thrust his left palm movement towards the gap on his right head, Bai Yutang felt the wind blowing behind his ears, coldly blowing his neck.Once everyone saw that the scroll that had been unfolded was rolled up again, Nangong Wei retracted it in the air, and the scroll was already in his hands.It was then that everyone suddenly realized that Nangong Weishicai just wanted to take the painting that fell behind Zhan Zhao, but who would have thought that Nangong Weishi only had such a profound ability to fetch objects from space.

"'Dragon Capture Kung Fu'?" Qiao Tianyuan said movedly, "Brother Nangong's kung fu is really getting better and better."

Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao in embarrassment, and then heard Zhan Zhao complain in a low voice at a volume that only he could hear: "Murder is probably murderous, idiot." Bai Yutang's face turned green immediately. (0: Meow~~~~~~~~ It's fun, it's been a long time, I haven't pinched Xiaobai, and it's finally cool to hear him call twice. Of course, I don't blame Xiaobai here, because the atmosphere Almost everyone in Xia thinks so, Zhaozhao's damage to him as "idiot" is just to repay Xiaobai for calling him "idiot", which is very fair.)

After receiving the painting and unfolding it slowly, Nangong Wei focused on the scroll, and the more he looked at it, the more joyful he became.

Zhao Zhen stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Nangong, are you interested in this painting?"

Nangong Wei narrowed his expression and said sharply, "Where did you get this painting?"

Zhao Zhen was a little unhappy to hear Nangong Wei's bad words, but after weighing it for a moment, he still said: "This is just one of the tributes sent from various places. Why, do you think there is something wrong with it?"

"A tribute?" Nangong was taken aback, and Xuanji couldn't stop laughing, "Someone actually took this as a tribute?"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it." Zhao Zhen put away his humility and said seriously: "Although this painting has no signature, it doesn't seem to be from the hands of famous masters. But its lines are smooth, the brushwork is sophisticated, and the brushwork is strong. The 21 figures are all different. Showing off its posture and vivid expression, it can be called a masterpiece. The reason why I bring it with me is to observe and study at any time."

"Is this painting really so good? I can't see it. It's just a few vulgar strokes, and it's hard to be elegant. What's more, it's an unfinished work."

"It is true that the payment has not yet been made."

"No. What the old man said was not finished referring to the painting. Could it be that the emperor thought that the blank space here was the place where the signature was signed?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not. There should be 23 people in this painting, and there are two people missing in the blank space."

Zhao Zhen was taken aback, "How does sir know? Could it be that... Sir, he saw someone make this painting with his own eyes?"

Nangong Wei answered irrelevantly: "This painting is something that I accidentally left behind when I was traveling in the south of the Yangtze River three years ago."

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed when he heard the words: "In this way, Mr. Nangong must know the painter. I have been looking at paintings for a long time, and I admire him very much. I hope that Mr. will introduce you." Xiang Nangong bowed and bowed, seeing how embarrassed the guards were.Even the hostile Chai Wangfu and others looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhan Zhao laughed and said, "Your Majesty is rarely confused."

It was Zhan Zhao's words that made Zhao Zhen suddenly understand.He patted his forehead and said: "I'm confused, I'm really confused. The wonderful pen is right in front of my eyes but I don't know it. I only thought that Mr. Nangong's martial arts are world-class, but I didn't think that Danqing is also first-rate."

"Don't dare. The only commoner in my Nangong is a scumbag, it's really hard to accept Long Yu's words."

Zhao Zhen knew that Nangong Wei was hostile and was deliberately embarrassing himself, so he held back his anger.He said slowly: "Mr. Nangong is not in a hurry to refuse. I do praise it, but I think this painting is white and slightly flawed. In other words, although the painting is wonderful, it is not perfect."

Nangong Wei pretended to be surprised, took two steps, and said with a proud smile: "The old man is intrigued by these words. I don't know where the flaw is?"

"Sir, you don't mind, I will tell you the truth." Zhao Zhen smiled at Nangong Wei after flicking the snow that had accumulated on the cloak, with the same arrogance, "I think Mr. Nangong's paintings are as good as they are wonderful." It is a pity that "success is also Xiao He, and failure is also Xiao He". The subtlety and inexhaustibility of the figure is also in the shape. Mr. Wu pays attention to the body shape, and even the folds of the skirt of the body are clearly visible, but he just ignores it. You should know that people’s emotions are firstly reflected on their faces, and when the characters are in various postures, it is even more impossible for the faces to be empty. Therefore, the figures and postures of the 21 people in Mr. Wonderful, but always feel too dull. There is a moving attitude, but no moving heart."

Nan Gongwei was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then laughed loudly: "Well said! There is a moving attitude, but not a moving heart. It is very well said!" Looking around the crowd, the laughter gradually cooled down, and the eyebrows hid ridicule. You know, people in this world know people, face but not heart."

Zhao Zhen couldn't hear such sarcasm.Suddenly his face darkened, and his brows showed faint anger.Seeing this, Zhan Zhao stepped forward to smooth things over, but he stopped him with one hand.Slowing down the frowning of his brows, Zhao Zhen suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "Mr. Nangong said it very well. This is exactly what I want to say the most. I don't know what you think in your heart, and of course you don't understand me either. Since it's just How can you charge me with such an unwarranted charge without even asking?"

Chai Wenxin couldn't help but rushed out: "Is there anything to ask, will you, a foolish king, admit it?"

"Of course I won't admit it." Zhao Zhen raised his voice, pushed away the guards protecting him, and walked to the hall without fear, "How can I admit something I haven't done?" Glancing at Chai Wenyi, Said: "Miss Er, what you said just now, I heard clearly outside the door. I believe that there is indeed something wrong with Prince Chai's mansion, and I also deeply sympathize, but I want you to know that the word 'faint gentleman' It’s not for you to say it, but for the world to let justice decide.”

Han Mengfei said: "The world belongs to your majesty, and what your majesty says is justice."

"It's a big mistake." Unconsciously looking at Zhan Zhao, thinking that the next thing was the man's most frequent nagging, he suddenly laughed from the bottom of his heart, "The world belongs to the common people. Feel at ease."

"It sounds good. If the case of King Chai's mansion really has nothing to do with the royal family, then please Your Majesty give Xiao Wang the real culprit and give justice to my Chai family." Chai Wenyi strode out.

"Since I have learned about the Chai family, of course I will give you justice. As for the real culprit..." Zhao Zhen fell silent suddenly.The sometimes stern and sometimes kind face always vaguely emerges from the thousands of things that have been sorted out.Looking up, Zhan Zhao was looking at him clearly.Knowing that someone can understand my concerns, my hesitant heart seems to be comforted. "Anyway, I promise you that I will give you an explanation from the Chai family."

Chai Wenxin said: "If you are the real culprit, how can you explain to us?"

Chai Wenyi said indignantly: "What we want is not the glory and wealth that His Majesty bestows, not posthumous titles, but the truth, which is written in the National Law of 'killing people for life', and 'Emperor's crime is the same as the common people'. So, can His Majesty agree? "

He kept his mouth shut, and his hand gripping the cloak felt tight.Suddenly, he let go indifferently, but his expression became more serious, "You guys doubt me, I have nothing to say. But I want to know what happened to Princess Cheshire. The princess obviously died of an illness, I heard that the second lady What you said just now, is there something hidden?"

Chai Wenyi said: "Instead of asking us this question, Your Majesty, it is better to ask that good general who has been stationed in Xiongzhou for you to defend against Xixia and devoted himself to his duties."

Zhao Zhen was shocked: "Yang Zongbao?"

"This matter may also be caused by me. Wenxin and I were eager to take revenge after the accident in Prince Chai's mansion, so we went to my aunt to seek her help, and wanted to use the convenience of my aunt and the Yang family to sneak into the palace and take the opportunity to assassinate. But my aunt refused. She still misses the kindness with you, Mrs. Zhao. After we left, we were hunted down. I thought it was my aunt who betrayed us, but soon I heard the news of my aunt's death." With a bitter smile, "May I ask, I am originally strong and healthy. How could someone suddenly get sick? Isn’t it a coincidence? After my aunt was buried, I was too suspicious, so I ordered someone to secretly rob the tomb for an autopsy, and I found out that my aunt was poisoned to death.”

Zhao Zhen was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

"Then why did Prince Xiao Chai mention General Yang?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Of course I have my reasons for mentioning it." Chai Wenyi cast his eyes at Zhao Zhen coldly, and took out a letter from his arms, "If Your Majesty can't give me a satisfactory answer, the letter in my hand will arrive soon." Yang Zongbao's hand. I think with the filial piety of my cousin to my aunt, after knowing the truth, I think I won't keep silent, right?"

Zhan Zhao said: "The little prince still had the intention to calm down the fight just now, why is he going back on his word now?"

Duan Zhongyi said dejectedly: "One moment, another moment. Previously, the identities of my righteous brother and others were only known to you, Zhanwei. If the righteous brother is determined to let the revenge matter go, we believe that you can guard us for us." But now that Emperor Song has known about this, don’t blame me for treating the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Yidi can’t take risks with his generals, and I can’t abandon the safety of my Dali Kingdom.”

Zhao Zhen heard the signs, "Do you suspect that I will retaliate if I escape?"

Chai Wenyi said: "This is not impossible."

"Then what are you going to do?" His eyebrows raised, his expression turned cold, "Kill me?"

Chai Wenyi didn't move his eyebrows: "At least I have to invite His Majesty to be a guest at the Xuecheng faction for a few days."

"Bold!" Feng He, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, said angrily, "How dare you risk the displeasure of the world and try to imprison Your Majesty."

"Why don't you dare?"

Everyone in Prince Chai's mansion stepped forward.The Ouchi guards couldn't bear it anymore and came out one after another.Seeing that swords were on the verge again, even Zhan Zhao couldn't decide whether to fight or persuade.If they want to fight, there are masters Nan Gongwei and Qiao Tianyuan in charge, they have very little chance of winning; if they want to persuade them, they each have their own reasons to insist, and I'm afraid it's useless to persuade them.It's really embarrassing.

At this moment, Zhao Zhen laughed suddenly, and the loud laughter swept away the urgency in the atmosphere.After laughing, he said: "I have a proposal, I wonder if everyone can calm down and listen?"

Qiao Tianyuan said: "Please tell me."

"Since the grievances and grievances are not clear to each other. Why don't we leave it to God to decide. Since we are in the Xuecheng faction and in the Jianghu, we will do it according to the rules of the Jianghu. The winner is the king, and the loser For Kou."

Bai Yutang was puzzled and said, "Your Majesty means to fight?"

"It's not a fight, but a competition. With Mr. Nangong and Qiao in charge, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to win. We will suffer a bit. Why don't we just compete five times, and whoever wins three games will be the winner. "

Nangong Wei stroked his beard, smiled and looked at Qiao Tianyuan: "This idea is fair. It suits my temperament."

Chai Wenyi also smiled: "Your Majesty is really smart enough to give up the two games that you can't win and plan to win three games, right? It's just... Your Majesty may have overestimated the strength of your subordinates, and also underestimated me, Chai Wenyi."

"Whether it is overestimated or underestimated, we can see the difference if we compare it?"

"If Emperor Song wins, what are your preparations?" Duan Zhongyi asked.

"That means that even the heavens believe that I am not the one who murdered King Chai's mansion. You must let me leave safely, and never pursue this matter again. Of course, I can assure you that I will never blame you after the incident, and what's more I won't embarrass Dali. How do you feel?"

Qiao Tianyuan said: "But what if you lose, Your Majesty?"

"Then treat it as a bad fate. To paraphrase the Jianghu saying, if you want to kill or cut, it's up to you."

Chai Wenyi strode forward excitedly and raised his right hand: "Okay! No joke."

"Words must be followed."

With a "snap", the two palms hit one place, taking it as a letter.

Qiao Tianyuan said: "It's too late today, why not start the competition tomorrow."

Chai Wenyi said: "Master Qiao, why tomorrow? It's better to hit the sun than catch the sun. There is plenty of time in the long night."

"Not bad." Zhao Zhen smiled, "Actually, I don't like to procrastinate. So who will come?"

"I come."

Following the loud shout, Duan Zhongyi slowly walked to the center of the hall: "Instead of imitating Tian Ji's horse racing plan and using the bully to bully the weak, I would rather have a hearty competition based on real kung fu. I don't know what Song Emperor said." Is there anyone around here who would like to join me for a while?" Looking at Zhan Zhao, "Guard Zhan? I haven't competed with you yet, so I'm really looking forward to it."

Just as Zhan Zhao was about to speak, he saw a hand in front of him, and then he walked slowly in front of Duan Zhongyi dressed in white: "The prince and Mao'er are familiar, if you want him to meet you, I'm afraid that guy will be too old if he beats you halfway." How about letting me, Bai Yutang, come and meet the crown prince for a while?" Nodding his head slightly, Bai Yutang's eyes shone brightly, "Fifth Master, I just want to learn from the world-famous Duan family of Dali. One positive finger."
