Wind and Rain Empire

Li Siqin turned around to pick up the dagger, but Lan Xueyi had already picked up the dagger in his hand at some point, and was about to take a closer look at the dagger when Li Siqin snatched it away, Li Siqin pouted and muttered in disbelief

"what to see"

Then she walked up to the chairman and whispered a few words to Li Chunyou, Li Chunyou smiled and then whispered a few words to the emperor

The emperor showed embarrassment after hearing this, and began to pretend to laugh in embarrassment

The emperor looked at Li Chunyou in a daze, and pointed at Lan Xueyi.

"Prince Xia, you mean to let her be your daughter's consort?"

Li Chunyou replied with a firm face

"Yes, that's right!"

The emperor shook his head at Li Chunyou and confirmed to him

"Do you want her? You don't want to change someone else? Don't you think about it at all?"

Li Chunyou looked at the strange behavior of the emperor, puzzled

"That's what the little girl means, it's him, why change it to someone else?"

The emperor burst out laughing and forcibly endured it back.

"She...what's so good about her? What do you like about her, little princess?"

The emperor was looking forward to Li Siqin's plausible reasons, but Li Siqin turned away from looking at Lan Xueyi and the others, and answered

"Didn't you see the official?"

This sentence made the emperor unable to answer the next sentence, so he could only say it to Lan Xueyi

"General Lan, King Xia wants to recruit you to be his son-in-law, are you willing?"

Lan Xueyi smiled and cupped his hands

"In the end, everything will be left to the officials"

The emperor was stunned, he didn't expect this, so he smiled and monologue

"Hey! This ghost girl actually pushed the question to me!"

Li Chunyou asked the emperor expectantly

"Emperor, what do you say now?"

At this moment, the emperor said yes or no, and said no, no, so he could only find a way for himself to step down.

"This... Marriage is a major event in life, not a trifling matter. Moreover, this martial arts tournament focuses on martial arts, not recruiting relatives. King Xia, we will discuss this matter later, and then we will discuss it again."

Li Chunyou looked puzzled, then patted Li Siqin and told her to turn around

In the martial arts venue, the palace people brought out a wooden tower built with a wooden frame, and a flower tied with a colorful ribbon was hung on the top of the wooden tower.

Li Chunyou felt strange and asked the emperor

"Emperor, how can this not compare to the traditional skills of riding and archery?"

"King Xia, Jin people are good at riding and shooting. No matter how good our Song people are at riding and shooting, we don't have horses, and we are all infantry. How can we fight against Jin? So we need to improve the combat effectiveness of infantry so that they can climb ladders to attack the city, and the more The sooner the better, and those who have occupied the high wall have to defend their positions, this device can be said to train talents with both offensive and defensive skills."

Li Chunyou suddenly realized, nodded and said

"So that's the case. No wonder the Jinren couldn't take down the city after several attacks. There is a trick."

the emperor added

"Besides, who hasn't watched horseback riding and archery? It's nothing new. I'm tired of watching the horseback riding and archery competitions. What's the point of always comparing them?"

Li Chunyou looked at the emperor appreciatively

"Emperor, you are right"

The emperor said to Wu Gonggong next to him

"Eunuch Wu, please announce the rules of the game"

After bowing and saluting, Eunuch Wu opened the imperial decree and read

"The first Song-Xia Allied Forces Tournament for the High Tower to win the lottery. The rules of the competition are as follows - first, participants are voluntary to participate, regardless of age or gender. Second, the time for the competition is half an hour. The reward for the first to grab the flower is 100 taels. Third, during the lottery winning period, no fatal injury may be caused to other participants. If there is any violation, the qualification of the competition will be lost, and the result of winning the lottery will be considered invalid. This! (Pause) If there is Those who want to participate in the competition, please stand under the tower as soon as possible."

Eight people walked under the tower, namely Xiong Dali and a Song soldier, two Xixia warriors, and 4 Jin Kingdom assassins disguised as Xixia warriors

Princess Yongping looked at Lan Xueyi sitting beside her

"Sister Xueyi, why don't you go this time?"

Lan Xueyi played out the folding fan and shook it

"I went up to rescue Zhang Tianyu when I saw Zhang Tianyu was ashamed. Now he won't go up after being ashamed, and I don't need to go up. I can't make King Xia think that I have no one in court."

Princess Yongping pushed Lan Xueyi

"Hey, isn't there still 100 taels of gold after winning the lottery?"

Lan Xueyi smiled at Yongping

"Someone needs it more than me, so I won't take it away"

Sitting on Xixia seat opposite, Li Siqin kept looking at Lan Xueyi

8 people fought back and forth on the high tower, and the four Golden Kingdom assassins matched each other and jumped to the top of the high tower, taking down the colored flowers

Lan Xueyi turned sideways and whispered to Princess Yongping

"Princess, have you noticed that there are four people with strange martial arts?"

"Although this princess does not know martial arts, I did find that the martial arts of those four people are different from others."

"What does the princess think is strange?"

Princess Yongping frowned and watched the movements of the four carefully.

"I can't say it, but I think the four of them are moving very fast and dazzling. What do you think, Sister Xueyi?"

Lan Xueyi put away the folding fan

"I have fought against these four people. They are not Xixia people, but they are probably assassins sent by the Jin people in disguise. The purpose is probably to assassinate the emperor and provoke Song Xia's relationship."

Princess Yongping was shocked

"Assassin? Then, should we tell the emperor quickly?"

Lan Xueyi stared at the movements of the four of them.

"This is necessary, but the position we are currently in is too conspicuous, especially as I am a general, and I will startle the enemy once I move. The four of them must not know that we have seen it. Go tell Princess Xixia and let her Go to escort their father with her brother, you two are women, others will not think about defense."

Princess Yongping nodded

"Understood, Sister Xueyi" So she got up and walked towards Li Siqin

The emperor gave a thumbs up to Li Chunyou who was sitting beside him

"King Xia, it's amazing that you have such brave warriors in Xia Kingdom."

Li Chunyou frowned and looked at the four of them, and said in response

"Yes, it is indeed my Xia country's blessing."

inner monologue

"The warriors of the Xia Kingdom are all selected by this king himself. Why haven't I seen these four before?"

Princess Yongping whispered something to Li Siqin, Li Xiaoliang and Li Siqin stood up and walked towards Li Chunyou, standing beside Li Chunyou

The strong man Xiong Dali and others competed with 4 assassins. After one of the assassins won the prize, the timekeeper waved a flag to indicate that the time was up.

The emperor didn't know the reason yet, so he stood up with a smile and went to greet him.

One of the golden assassins knelt in front of the emperor holding the captured colored balls. Just as the emperor was about to speak, the golden assassin slipped a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed at the emperor.

Princess Yongping pulled the emperor back, Li Xiaoliang and Li Siqin stepped forward to fight an assassin

The emperor was so frightened that he was still in shock. He looked at Li Chunyou and asked

"This...what's the matter"

Lan Xueyi stepped forward and said to the emperor

"Father, this man was sent by Jin Guo to pretend, there are three more"

Li Xiaoliang and Li Siqin worked together to knock down the assassin to the ground and subdue him

Seeing that one of them was arrested, the other three Jin Kingdom assassins quickly dispersed and took three hostages, the Xixia Empress Mu Lashi, Zhang Haisheng and Zi Linglong.

Concubine Shu saw Zi Linglong with a dagger on the neck of the assassin, she was so frightened that she fainted on the ground, while Concubine De sat calmly and kicked the unconscious Concubine Shu with her feet.

Li Chunyou stood up and looked anxiously at Murat

"Whatever you want, I will give it to you, I just ask you not to hurt my Queen Xia."

one of the assassins

"If you let our people go, we will let your people go"

Lan Xueyi slowly approached Zi Linglong, the assassin stared at her fiercely, with a threatening tone

"Don't come here again, I'll kill her if you come here again!"

Lan Xueyi winked at Zi Linglong, turned her gaze, and said something behind the assassin

"Yo, you came just in time to stab him from the back!"

The assassin thought there was someone behind him, and looked behind him, Zi Linglong splashed the tea in his hand on the assassin's face, the assassin's eyes got watery and he panicked, Zi Linglong pushed him away, turned around and kicked the assassin He kicked to the ground, then picked up a stool and threw it on his head, the assassin was knocked unconscious

At the same time, the assassin who was holding Murat's family was distracted, and Li Siqin threw a knife into his head, bleeding to death on the spot

Li Xiaoliang gave a thumbs up, looked at Li Siqin and praised

"Little sister's throwing knife is really accurate!"

Li Siqin looked smug

Murat hurriedly ran towards Li Chunyou, and threw herself into Li Chunyou's arms

Lan Xueyi approached and asked Zi Linglong

"Linglong, are you alright?"

Zi Linglong looked at the fainted assassin

"I'm fine, this guy actually wants to kidnap me"

Lan Xueyi smiled at her

"You're fine"

The emperor ran to Zi Linglong's side in small steps, and took her hand

"Linglong, are you okay? Xueyi, thank you so much!"

After the commotion, everyone collectively looked at Zhang Haisheng who was still being kidnapped

Li Siqin asked Li Xiaoliang

"Brother, who is that hijacked? Why is no one going to rescue him?"

Li Xiaoliang shook his head

"I don't know him, maybe he's an unpleasant little person (suddenly remembered) Isn't this the prime minister!"

Li Siqin sneered

"It deserves it. Tell his son to paste the portrait of the princess indiscriminately. If the son is not the fault of his father, no one should save him!"

Lan Xueyi approached Zhang Tianyu and shouted

"Hey, don't you go save your father? I definitely won't save him, he usually treats me so badly"

Zhang Tianyu sighed helplessly

"What are you saving? If you save him or not, he will call me unfilial. Let's see what the officials say."

The emperor saw that no one was going to rescue Zhang Haisheng, so he smiled deeply

"Prime Minister Zhang, you should die for your country."

Zhang Tianyu's face relaxed, thinking "Since the officials have said so..." he yelled at the assassin

"Then do whatever you want, Mister Assassin!"

Seeing that there was only Zhang Haisheng who was not likable left, everyone gradually left the venue. Seeing that everyone had left, Zhang Haisheng began to curse

Zhang Haisheng cursed with grief and indignation

"One or two of you are heartless, I didn't say you, the official! Zhang Tianyu, you brat, you don't even save your father, what kind of son are you? Is it so easy for me to raise you? Now you are hijacked You don’t even look at me, are you still a person? Heaven has no eyes, I, Zhang Haisheng, have worked hard all my life.

Assassin sounds annoyed

"Damn you! There's so much nonsense, no wonder no one saved you!"

He beat Zhang Haisheng unconscious as soon as he made a move, but was caught by the guards who came
