I'm not Murong Chong
Chapter 125
In 396 A.D., Qiao Zong, the king of Shu who ruled in Sichuan, became the emperor. Abandoning the Caotou emperor is undoubtedly a serious blow to the face of the "Great Heavenly Dynasty" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
All of a sudden, the faction of ministers at the court who thought they should recuperate and suspend fighting all fell silent, and the "Western Expedition" and "Discuss Qiao" speeches that had died down were once again clamoring. Language is not loving the country.Sima Yuanxian logically began to once again aggressively promote the recruitment of Ding and build an army, forcing all the tenant farmers who had escaped from slavery in the most affluent land of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to leave their hometowns and enter Beijing to be incorporated into military households and wait for the expedition.For those wealthy landlords, the sharp drop in the labor force working for their manors directly affected their income; for those tenants who were already semi-free, being reduced to an inferior and precarious military household undoubtedly deprived them of food and clothing. Rights make them forced to face war and killing—so no matter the rich or poor in the Sanwu area, there is a lot of complaints about this, and there are constant conflicts and frequent struggles with the recruiting officials sent by the imperial court. It seems that all these dissatisfaction and resistance Sooner or later, it will be erupted violently from an explosive point, which is another story.
At least at this time, Sima Yuanxian had more than [-] soldiers in one fell swoop, sharpened his sword, and put on an appearance of going to war with righteous indignation, ready to use troops in Sichuan at any time-it can be called awe-inspiring and powerful.
"Congratulations to the king for fulfilling his wish~" Wang Guobao took the lead in raising his glass to Sima Yuanxian who was seated in the chief seat, and toasted respectfully. It is just and proper to do justice for the heavens!"
In the smoky night wind, Sima Yuanxian lay lazily on the couch, and a handsome young man was kneeling beside his knees, dressed in green clothes.He stretched out his fingers, and while stroking down the black hair of the young man's shawl, he said with a half smile: "Xie Xuan thought that if he stumbled over a Sima Shangzhi, I would just give in? Is what I, Sima Yuanxian, going to do? Has anyone given up halfway?"
Wang Guobao hurriedly said: "Da Wang Ying will be free tomorrow!"
Another confidant under Sima Yuanxian's command - Zhang Fa, who had just finished his post as the prefect of Luling and was transferred back to the capital, shook his head by the way, and said meaningfully: "Master Wang thinks that Qiao Zong will not be called the emperor sooner or later." God, just jumped out at this time to give us an excellent excuse—is it a coincidence? Is it God’s will? Or is it relying on the blessing of Buddha or Tianzun?"
Wang Guobao was choked and speechless—Zhang Fashun was smart and harsh, but he was hard-hearted. Except for his master, Sima Yuanxian, he didn't give face to anyone else, no matter how high or low they were born.Sima Yuanxian trusted and indulged him quite a bit. After Sima Shangzhi fell from the horse, he was transferred back to the capital to prepare for great use.
Sima Yuanxian sneered when he heard the words——Although Wang Guobao came from a famous family, he was an expert in flirting with others, but his qualifications were mediocre in other aspects.He pointed to Zhang Fashun and said with a smile: "A few years ago, Zhongwen had planted a lot of hidden threads to Xishu, spreading all over the government and the public - it may be difficult to know the details of military affairs, so find some auspicious signs, write some articles, and persuade Qiao Zong to advance. But it's as easy as turning the palm of your hand——Qiao Zong had this intention a long time ago, how could he not be fooled? Of course, for this to happen, I have to thank Brother Ren."
Ren Zhen, who had been silent all this time, waved his hand like a bluff, and said with a modest smile: "I don't have any size, how dare I take possession of it?"
Sima Yuanxian squinted his eyes, and put his hands under the collar of the young man beside him to do whatever he wanted: "No matter how dazed Qiao Zong wants to dream of being an emperor, he dares not ask the opinion of his 'allies' who have been supporting him all the time—Murong Yong’s Jiaoqi of Xiyan is stationed at Yangping Pass at the pass of the Qinling Mountains, if your emperor doesn’t approve, approve, or even encourage, how dare he really be equal to Murong Chong in name?”
Ren Zhen immediately clapped his hands and praised: "Your Majesty is really a master planner, and the Holy Candle illuminates it. No one can hide this big or small matter from your Majesty."
Wang Guobao immediately came down with three black lines - this old boy was even more outspoken and shameless in flattering than he was.
Zhang Fashun cast a thoughtful glance at Ren Zhen and said, "To conquer Sichuan in the west, we must follow the Yangtze River. The Yizhou navy is famous all over the world. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to win. I’m afraid there is only one dead end in Chengdu.”
Ren Zhen nodded his head and kicked the ball back: "Naturally, if the two countries form an alliance, they will share weal and woe. Once the King of Jin breaks through the defense line of Baidi City in Xishu, soldiers along the Fujiang River In Chengdu, the general of our country was ordered to send troops to Yangping Pass and attack Chengdu from behind."
Zhang Fashun said with a sneer, "It turns out that we have to follow the wind and see that the situation on the battlefield is beneficial to us, so we are willing to send troops to share a share of the pie."
"Zhongwen." Sima Yuanxian called out lightly, but his subordinates exerted force, and the young man under his palm let out a weak and painful muffled groan. Zhang Fa swallowed the rest of the words by the way. Still full of smiles.
Just when the atmosphere was stagnant, the servants in the hall came to report: Yu Kai, the commander of the Wuyi camp, sent someone to pay a visit to the Xiangwang.Yu Kai took the post of Zhonglang in the imperial guards, and he was regarded as a confidant of Sima Yuanxian who held a little military power. From time to time, he would send people to give gifts to Sima Yuanxian.So Sima Yuanxian didn't care about it this time, and raised his hand lazily. Sure enough, a black-robed and gold-armored black-clothed camp guard hurried up to the hall with a wooden box, then knelt down in front of Sima Yuanxian, and put the thing in front of him. Offer it with both hands respectfully.
Sima Yuanxian was too lazy to look at it, and casually patted the waist and buttocks of the young man beside him. The young man quickly took the wooden box and opened it carefully in front of Sima Yuanxian. He got up and took the wooden box in person, closed it behind his back, nodded and smiled and said, "It's a filial piety."
Now even Zhang Fashun and Wang Guobao, who had followed him for a long time, were stunned—this master was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and he had never seen such a treasure when he was young, so what kind of treasure would Yu Kai have to give to enter Sima Yuan Noticing?Wang Guobao was so curious that he was dying, but he didn't dare to say anything, he just coughed lightly and said, "I'm afraid Yu Kai is also planning to conquer the commander of the Western Army?"
Zhang Fashun knew it well, shook his head and said: "How many people are staring at the position of the general of the Zhengxi Army, he is not qualified. It's just that Xie Xuan can't be asked to take this great position again."
Qiao Zong's self-reliance based on Sichuan and Shu was originally a serious problem and a great shame for the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Now that he is even more serious and simply proclaims himself emperor, can the court not attack it with all its strength?That's why Sima Yuanxian's plan to recruit troops can go ahead with such fanfare.
Sima Yuanxian didn't want to go in person - although he was conceited, he also knew that he was like a fledgling yellow-mouthed child on the battlefield; what's more, leaving Jiankang would be tantamount to giving up the power of the prime minister. How can you give up easily when you control the government?
As for Xie Xuan, Sima Yuanxian couldn't let him go. He single-handedly created elite troops in the Beifu and won the battle of Feishui. He has already made great achievements.
Since the leaders of the two factions must sit in the capital and are not allowed to go west, then the ambitious members of the subordinates are naturally eager to try—and even if they ascend the throne, whoever regains Xichuan and puts down the rebellion will be more meritorious. How can the generals not be moved ?Recently, many generals have come to Sima Yuanxian to throw stones and ask for directions, and to move up and down.
Ren Zhen pondered and said: "The selection of the commander-in-chief of Zhengxi is different from that of the general. The three are indispensable. The Beifu Army has Liu Laozhi, and we also have royal family members such as King Qiao. It is not difficult to win. The rest of the generals are big. Fei Siquan, it is not easy to be loyal to His Highness but also brave and good at fighting..."
"This king knows what's in his heart." Sima Yuanxian just smiled and dismissed it, he didn't want to talk any more, and suddenly he hugged the young man beside him into his arms, and made his hand in front of everyone. Leaked by spring and light.
Sima Yuanxian played around for a while, but he didn't know which checkpoint he touched. The young man suddenly trembled, his face flushed, he was trembling all over but refused to snort, the two confidantes under the seat As soon as he dared not speak, he quickly lowered his head.Sima Yuanxian withdrew his hand suddenly, his fingers went all the way up along the young man's white and thin chest, raised his chin and turned to Ren Zhen: "The little thing that Brother Ren gave you is not bad, it has a bit more character than ordinary young men, I don't know where it came from." Did you find it?"
Ren Zhen smiled frankly: "To be honest, I have heard the name of Fengliu Township by the Qinhuai River for a long time. As soon as I entered Jiankang, I asked Master Wang to take me to appreciate it. Seeing that this child is a young man, but because he doesn't know how to serve him without knowing his face No one cares about him, and now he is getting older and taller, and he is almost about to be sold as a slave at a low price, but I feel that this refusal to flatter or pretend to be enchanting is a great beauty of this son, so I bought him, Pack it up and give it to the king, and hope that the king will reward him with a good future in the future."
Sima Yuanxian laughed, and turned to Wang Guobao: "National treasure has always had a heart." Wang Guobao broke out in cold sweat again. He knew that Sima Yuanxian knew that he had disclosed this private preference to Ren Zhen in advance, so that he could vote for it. What he likes is exactly what he wants.Fortunately, Sima Yuanxian's eyes didn't rest on him at all, he lowered his eyelids and looked at the young man's clear and handsome eyebrows as if lovingly: "This king really doesn't like that kind of pretentious and indistinguishable sex, Brother Ren has eyes. "
Ren Zhen giggled on the surface, but in his heart he slandered: You are still called a child, this young man is in his twenties, he is already a young man, and he is older than you, a young man who is not a weak crown.Unexpectedly, Sima Yuanxian's next sentence made his scalp tingle: "In this dynasty, Gu Changshi was proficient in painting, and there was a famous saying that was widely circulated-"The beauty of the four bodies is not about the beauty, but the vividness is the reflection. All in Adujian', although this kid is good, the look of this pair of tricks is still far inferior to that person."
As soon as these words came out, the other three people at the scene started to pretend to be deaf and dumb at the same time—they were all human beings, and everyone could more or less guess Sima Yuanxian's true intentions, but who dared to tell the truth?Zhang Fashun couldn't, Wang Guobao didn't dare, and Ren Zhen didn't want to—Sima Yuan showed his power to the government, who couldn't?But what kind of person is Xie Xuan?You are the most elegant in the world, Jiang Zuo is a unparalleled hero, not to mention that you, Sima Yuanxian, are a prince, even if you are really noble, you would not dare to humiliate you as an emperor.
When Sima Yuanxian saw that everyone was silent, he couldn't help laughing and waving his hands: "It's just a joke." Then he pushed the young man in his arms down his knees, and pointed at Ren Zhen, "Brother Ren is self-deprecating and lustful, and he has similar preferences to this king. Love such a tune, why don't you take this son back and serve him personally?"
The boy's eyes widened, he bit his lower lip and said nothing, but he still walked towards Ren Zhen step by step according to his words. Ren Zhen hurriedly left the table, stretched out his sleeves to Sima Yuanxian and said, "I'm sorry!" Don't dare."
"The person you sent, don't you dare to go back?" Sima Yuanxian's tone suddenly turned cold, and Ren Zhen hurriedly said: "Your Highness has favored you, regardless of life or death, they are all your people, how can you be the second master? If Your Highness If you don’t like it, just reward him with money and send it out, and I will never dare to get involved.”
Wang Guobao and Zhang Fashun both secretly wondered: Sima Yuanxian has always been domineering and arrogant. Of course, he will do everything possible to get what he wants, even if he is tired of playing, he would rather destroy it than give it to others. What kind of trick is this question?
Sima Yuanxian raised his eyebrows and smiled, beckoned the boy back, and embraced him again. He bowed his head in his black hair like a waterfall and smiled meaningfully: "Brother Ren is right."
In the dead of night, after the end of the music feast, only Zhang Fashun, who stayed on purpose in the West Palace, said to Sima Yuanxian, "Your Majesty, you don't like the envoy of Yan, Ren Zhen?" Although it is Ashina Wulie, the actual power is in the hands of the deputy envoy Ren Zhen. Now that they have not accomplished a major event, they can't mess with Xiyan.
Sima Yuanxian coldly pushed the wooden box he had just accepted to his eyes. Zhang Fashun lifted the lid and saw that it was a piece of beautiful jade. Because he recognized that this jade was worn by Sima Shangzhi, the former king of Qiao, he frowned and said, "Is this from Yu Kai?"
Sima Yuanxian shook his head: "Yu Kaixuan has his appearance, but he just used his name to inform the news." He glanced at Zhang Fashun: "It's He Wuji, the captain of Wuyiying's halberd, the nephew of Liu Laozhi, the general of Beifu. .It can be promoted and used by me.” In this world, the most indispensable thing is young people who are ambitious and do not hesitate to climb up, such as how Wuji.
Zhang Fashun quickly agreed, while Sima Yuanxian still looked into the distance with a gloomy expression—it's not that he didn't suspect the inner ghost, but he never thought that it was Ren Zhen who ruined his big business that night!
In addition to the West Prince's Mansion, which is constantly discussing this matter like day and night, the Yongzhen Temple on the outskirts of the city is also brightly lit-Sima Yuanxian's eyeliner is everywhere in Jiankang City, and the Xie Mansion is the key object of stalking, so stay away from the palace Yongzhen Temple, which also belongs to the sphere of influence of Wang Xie's children, has become a secret meeting place that can be avoided.
Just as Xie Xuan stepped into the lobby, all the generals of the Beifu who had been waiting for a long time stood up one after another, clasping their fists loudly: "Shuai Xie!" Xie Xuan raised his hand, signaling for everyone to sit down, and he himself walked to the front, sat down next to Wang Gong, and rushed to him. Nod slightly.
Wang Gong cleared his throat and spoke first, "I summoned you all at night, and I think you all know what happened. Qiao Zong proclaimed himself emperor, and the Western Expedition was imminent. Lord Sima Lang won [-] troops, and finally won military power. If we really regain Xichuan, we can take advantage of the situation and coerce the imperial court to give him nine tins and a yellow axe, and then I will be hard to contain."
The audience was filled with awe, everyone knew that if Sima Yuanxian wins, his arrogance will be high, but if he loses, the Sanwu area will have darkened public grievances due to the relocation of Ding and conscription. —Forcing the people of the Three Wus to move into Jiankang to be organized as military households and the Western Expedition to Qiaozong, for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, both benefited for a while and disadvantaged for a long time... The two are twisted into one, and the initiator is still the same person!
Xie Xuan rubbed his brows, and unexpectedly remembered the tense reunion with that person in Yongzhen Temple a few months ago.
"...Therefore, the only thing our Beifu army can do is to occupy a place in the Zhengxi army and make great contributions to share the power of Lord Sima Lang—" Wang Gong was still analyzing the situation, Xie Xuan suddenly came back to his senses, and looked around Next: "Where is Liu prison?"
There was another silence, and Liu Yu, who joined the army, went out and replied: "Today, I received a report from Pengcheng. General Zhenbei... accidentally fell off his horse and was injured during the drill. He couldn't enter the city to see the governor. I'm pleading guilty."
Will Liu Laozhi fall off the horse and get hurt?Everyone's heart is pumped.Xie Xuan pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, another general, Zhu Lingshi, couldn't help standing up: "Is there such a coincidence? Looking at the Beifu army, apart from Xie Shuai, he is the commander of the Western Expedition , run away like this—" Xie Xuan waved his hand and opened his eyes: "The Dao is firm enough not to let me down." Although Liu Laozhi is still loyal to him, but now he has a big family and a big business, and his eldest son Liu Jingxuan is the internal history of Xuancheng. Working for Sima Yuanxian, sometimes he has to look forward and look backward to make more retreats - his retreat is equivalent to giving Sima Yuanxian the position of Zhengxi's coach.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a while, and Sima Yuanxian held a military parade ceremony for the new army at Moling Pass in the south of Jiankang City in order to show off his power. At that time, the emperor and empress would come in person, and hundreds of officials would gather to watch. Candidates for generals.Xie Xuan pondered for a moment, glanced at the generals, and finally raised his voice: "Zhu Lingshi, I want you to win the position of deputy commander."
Zhu Lingshi rose up in response, and bowed to accept the order. Liu Yu, who was sitting next to him, lowered his head and remained silent, feeling quite disappointed in his heart—his age was almost the same as Zhu Lingshi's, and he was not far behind in terms of martial arts and seniority. Loser, why is Xie Shuai not the best candidate in his mind?
The Western Expedition of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was full of fanfare and power, and Xu Sheng could not be defeated, so Sima Yuanxian planned a grand military parade smugly to demonstrate the prestige of his new army.
As soon as the auspicious time arrived, Emperor An, the queen, the royal family, Xie Xuan Wanggong and other important officials stepped onto the high platform one after another, and finally Ren Zhen and other foreign envoys. Absent, he was replaced by Deputy Envoy Feng Yi, who sat in his seat majestically—it was said that he was sick.Even if someone really has a minor illness, he shouldn't be absent on this occasion. Is it because Murong Xi himself doesn't want to come, or is it because Feng Yi, who is on the stage with him, has resorted to some tricks to prevent him from coming?Ren Zhen was still contemplating, but the loud horn sounded throughout the audience during the military parade, drawing all his attention back.
Xie Xuan also watched coldly on the stage, seeing that the thousands of sons selected from the new army were all strong and strong, and each of them was mighty. After the establishment of the army, there was less than three months of drill time, how could there be such progress?It must be Sima Yuanxian who was very happy and cobbled it together from other places to replace it.The rest of the people didn't know what was going on, so they praised it naturally, even the queen and queen praised it lightly.Sima Yuanxian was even more satisfied, and walked to the empress and bowed in front of the emperor: "Today the generals gathered and the heroes gathered, Xiao Wang got a new thing today, and I specially brought it to everyone to open your eyes and show off your skills."
Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd, so they had to move to the back of the mountain according to his arrangement, and saw an open field surrounded by a curtain with a circumference of hundreds of feet, and the surrounding area was so tightly covered that they could not be seen at all. The inner world.
Emperor Jin'an was always locked in the deep palace on weekdays, and rarely saw the green mountains, green water, blue sky and white clouds, and his spirit improved a lot under the freshness. He grabbed Wang Shen'ai's sleeve beside him like a child, and asked hard: "Sister?" , what are you going to see?"
As if answering the emperor's question, a low growl of a wild beast suddenly burst out from inside the tent, which shocked Andi, and quickly hid behind Wang Shen'ai.All the officials also stood still, and looked at Sima Yuanxian in fear amidst howls of beasts.
Sima Yuan raised his hand calmly, and the soldiers who had been waiting outside the tent were ordered to pull the ropes, and the curtain fell, and he saw a colosseum surrounded by wooden fences with a height of ten feet, and in the middle was a huge iron cage. Close up of a big black bear standing alone.
Andi's eyes widened in surprise, and he didn't know to be afraid for a while, he poked his head out and ran away, Sima Dewen quickly stopped the emperor's brother, even though Wang Shenai stood on the sidelines , was far away from the beast, but his face paled in horror, pointing at Sima Daozi who was rarely seen, he said sharply: "What do you father and son want!"
Sima Yuanxian stood in front of his father, bowed and said, "Don't be alarmed, my lord, this black bear was hunted by Xiao Wang's subordinates in the mountains and forests last year and winter. It has been tamed for many months, and the wildness has faded. Less, so as not to hurt anyone, since all the generals are here today, how about entering the arena to hunt bears, and the winner will be the commander of the West Conquest Army?"
Before Wang Shen'ai could say anything, Emperor Jin'an clapped his hands and expressed his opinion for the first time: "Alright, alright, let's watch the bear hunt."
Xie Xuan never expected that Sima Yuanxian would have such a trick. He subconsciously looked at Ren Zhen who was more than ten people away from him on the other side. It happened that Ren Zhen was also looking back at this time, and his eyes collided. He curled his lips into a smile, a little provocative.
Xie Xuan turned his head, his hands hidden in his sleeves secretly tangled into fists.
On this side, Sima Shangzhi, the king of Qiao who was ordered to reflect behind closed doors, came out first, and knelt down in fear and said: "My Majesty, I have been introspecting for many days, and I know that I have made mistakes. However, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Zheng does not dare to fall behind others, please allow the emperor to allow Xiao Wang to enter the arena to hunt bears, if he wins by chance, he is willing to lead the battle for His Majesty, and die!"
Are you kidding me, a prince hunts bears himself?That black blind man didn't know what the nine ranks are, and the family status is high or low. No matter how noble a person is, he will be slapped into a meatloaf.Wang Shen'ai refused before the emperor was eager to try, but Sima Shangzhi insisted on refusing, knelt on the ground and kept asking the queen to learn from his mistakes, but Wang Shen'ai had no choice but to comfort him, and said that he was "frivolous" before. All the words of "lustful" and "lawless" were withdrawn, and he was praised as "loyalty" and "a pillar of the country" against his will.After tossing and tossing for a long time, it was finally compromised that a warrior from Sima Shangzhi's mansion would take the place of the master and end up hunting bears.
After watching the farce, Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at his favorite general Zhu Lingshi: "Bo Er, would you like to fight for my handsome?"
Zhu Lingshi got up, clasped his fists only, and said nothing nonsense.
The rest of the officers and soldiers who were interested in raising money took the initiative to invite Yingying, and a total of six people were obtained. All the generals received swords, guns, swords and halberds engraved with "Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang, Universe, Great Desolation" and prepared to enter the arena.The burly man from Prince Qiao's Mansion was the first to enter the arena shirtless, but when he saw that he was eight feet long and shaped like a black tower, his body was full of muscles, and his beard and hair were all gaping. He stood in front of the black bear with jaw-dropping eyes.Zhu Lingshi paid his respects to the empress before he took off his light armor and went into battle shirtless to show fairness.
Ren Zhen folded his sleeves and took a seat: he had already coated the weapons of Sima Yuanxian's soldiers with a large dose of silver rings in advance. , and also support that the limbs will be paralyzed and lose mobility in a short time, so it is a matter of course that he died at the hands of Sima Yuanxian.
The gongs and cymbals sounded, the ropes that bound the bear were cut immediately, the iron grid was opened, and the black bear groaned a few times and staggered out of the cage.Zhu Lingshi was just at the age when Fanggang was eager to show his blood. He greeted him with a sword. The blade cut through the thick fur and splashed a stream of blood. Zhu Lingshi slapped it away, Zhu Lingshi pointed his toes, and he could barely avoid it. The place where he stood was already full of sand and gravel.Unwilling to be outdone, the rest rushed forward—in an instant, blood and flesh flew across the field, and the sound of killing was deafening.
Everyone was within a hundred steps of this heart-pounding fight, and they all felt their hearts tremble. Wang Shen'ai could only take a few glances, so he stood up and evaded the table in a panic. , bringing out a large pool of stinky blood, the black bear was in extreme pain, screamed and stood up, and suddenly threw out all the people hanging on the left, and fell heavily to the ground amidst a sound of exclamation.
Ren Zhen frowned - no, the medicine should have taken effect by now, why is this black bear getting stronger and stronger?It was too late to say it, but then it was too late, the wrestler from the Qiao Palace struggled to get up, and was the first to rush forward to stop the black bear, but the scarred black bear rushed forward madly, raising his iron palm as big as a cattail leaf fan Slapping it suddenly, a large mass of flesh and blood was torn off in an instant. The strong man screamed and rolled to the side, with most of his arms missing.The black bear became ferocious, roared and rushed towards the seriously injured person, with such force that it even crushed the wooden fence on the side in one fell swoop!
Xie Xuanteng got up, raised his hand and shouted: "Guard!" The Wuyi Ying has always been the royal guard, but has never seen such a scene, trembling in front of the emperor and empress, his face is ashen and his face is ashen. The last time he saw the bear Sure enough, he roared and approached the gap step by step, wishing he could drop his ceremonial weapon and turn around and run away.The officials closest to the ground also set up a commotion, the two Yan missions were the first to bear the brunt, Wu Lie hurriedly protected Ren Zhen and retreated, but in the crowded chaos, many weak people were pushed, shoved and fell, and one unfortunately rolled into the black bear. In front of him, he was slapped into a blurred mass of flesh and blood.As a result, the sound of terrified cries for help interspersed with the roar of wild beasts continued, and the crowd was suddenly in a state of panic crying for their parents and mothers.Xie Xuan gritted his teeth, and while swearing to protect the empress, he pulled out a guard's saber, turned around and rushed towards the berserk black bear!
Liu Yu was not allowed to play this time, so he stayed on the stage all the time. Seeing that Xie Xuan took the initiative to fight to divert the animal's attention, he quickly ordered people to protect the emperor and the empress and the officials to retreat. When he looked back again, he saw that the black bear had indeed been captured. It was taken away from the direction, and there were dozens of knife wounds and sword marks all over its body, and the blood poured down, but it still screamed maniacally, and slapped the struggling Xie Xuan with one palm after another. They are all ashes, no matter how brave Xie Xuan is, that beast is infinitely powerful and crazy like crazy, not afraid of swords. Exhausted, he staggered, and was knocked to the ground by the air wave. The black bear bared its teeth and let out a roar, and stepped on Xie Xuan's wide sleeve with one foot.
Liu Yu was shocked, and just about to stand up to help, suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a figure flashed quickly, snatching the golden carved bow of the dumbfounded Wuyiying guard beside him, and then stepped on the top of the canopy with a stride, The sharp arrow whized off the string in a flash, and shot into the blood-red right eye the moment the black bear raised its iron palm, and then pierced through the skull with the force of thunder and ice!
The black bear screamed and roared violently and jumped up. The next moment, Xie Xuan jumped up, holding the sword in his backhand, and pierced the black bear's heart with all his strength!
Hot blood poured down his head, Xie Xuan shouted loudly, twisted the blade sharply and pulled it out, the raging black bear finally fell to the ground convulsing and roaring, the blood under his body twisted and spread out of the broken body. body fur.
Xie Xuan was on his knees, staring at the bear carcass while panting violently. Unexpectedly, he stretched out his hands obliquely and supported his arms involuntarily, making him stand upright with an undeniable force. Ren Zhen's tone was still full of A little cynical taunt: "This is so frightening, Xie Shuai?"
Xie Xuan turned his head to look at the man who was close at hand, raised his elbow to wipe off the blood on his cheek, and said coldly, "It's a joke."
All of a sudden, the faction of ministers at the court who thought they should recuperate and suspend fighting all fell silent, and the "Western Expedition" and "Discuss Qiao" speeches that had died down were once again clamoring. Language is not loving the country.Sima Yuanxian logically began to once again aggressively promote the recruitment of Ding and build an army, forcing all the tenant farmers who had escaped from slavery in the most affluent land of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to leave their hometowns and enter Beijing to be incorporated into military households and wait for the expedition.For those wealthy landlords, the sharp drop in the labor force working for their manors directly affected their income; for those tenants who were already semi-free, being reduced to an inferior and precarious military household undoubtedly deprived them of food and clothing. Rights make them forced to face war and killing—so no matter the rich or poor in the Sanwu area, there is a lot of complaints about this, and there are constant conflicts and frequent struggles with the recruiting officials sent by the imperial court. It seems that all these dissatisfaction and resistance Sooner or later, it will be erupted violently from an explosive point, which is another story.
At least at this time, Sima Yuanxian had more than [-] soldiers in one fell swoop, sharpened his sword, and put on an appearance of going to war with righteous indignation, ready to use troops in Sichuan at any time-it can be called awe-inspiring and powerful.
"Congratulations to the king for fulfilling his wish~" Wang Guobao took the lead in raising his glass to Sima Yuanxian who was seated in the chief seat, and toasted respectfully. It is just and proper to do justice for the heavens!"
In the smoky night wind, Sima Yuanxian lay lazily on the couch, and a handsome young man was kneeling beside his knees, dressed in green clothes.He stretched out his fingers, and while stroking down the black hair of the young man's shawl, he said with a half smile: "Xie Xuan thought that if he stumbled over a Sima Shangzhi, I would just give in? Is what I, Sima Yuanxian, going to do? Has anyone given up halfway?"
Wang Guobao hurriedly said: "Da Wang Ying will be free tomorrow!"
Another confidant under Sima Yuanxian's command - Zhang Fa, who had just finished his post as the prefect of Luling and was transferred back to the capital, shook his head by the way, and said meaningfully: "Master Wang thinks that Qiao Zong will not be called the emperor sooner or later." God, just jumped out at this time to give us an excellent excuse—is it a coincidence? Is it God’s will? Or is it relying on the blessing of Buddha or Tianzun?"
Wang Guobao was choked and speechless—Zhang Fashun was smart and harsh, but he was hard-hearted. Except for his master, Sima Yuanxian, he didn't give face to anyone else, no matter how high or low they were born.Sima Yuanxian trusted and indulged him quite a bit. After Sima Shangzhi fell from the horse, he was transferred back to the capital to prepare for great use.
Sima Yuanxian sneered when he heard the words——Although Wang Guobao came from a famous family, he was an expert in flirting with others, but his qualifications were mediocre in other aspects.He pointed to Zhang Fashun and said with a smile: "A few years ago, Zhongwen had planted a lot of hidden threads to Xishu, spreading all over the government and the public - it may be difficult to know the details of military affairs, so find some auspicious signs, write some articles, and persuade Qiao Zong to advance. But it's as easy as turning the palm of your hand——Qiao Zong had this intention a long time ago, how could he not be fooled? Of course, for this to happen, I have to thank Brother Ren."
Ren Zhen, who had been silent all this time, waved his hand like a bluff, and said with a modest smile: "I don't have any size, how dare I take possession of it?"
Sima Yuanxian squinted his eyes, and put his hands under the collar of the young man beside him to do whatever he wanted: "No matter how dazed Qiao Zong wants to dream of being an emperor, he dares not ask the opinion of his 'allies' who have been supporting him all the time—Murong Yong’s Jiaoqi of Xiyan is stationed at Yangping Pass at the pass of the Qinling Mountains, if your emperor doesn’t approve, approve, or even encourage, how dare he really be equal to Murong Chong in name?”
Ren Zhen immediately clapped his hands and praised: "Your Majesty is really a master planner, and the Holy Candle illuminates it. No one can hide this big or small matter from your Majesty."
Wang Guobao immediately came down with three black lines - this old boy was even more outspoken and shameless in flattering than he was.
Zhang Fashun cast a thoughtful glance at Ren Zhen and said, "To conquer Sichuan in the west, we must follow the Yangtze River. The Yizhou navy is famous all over the world. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to win. I’m afraid there is only one dead end in Chengdu.”
Ren Zhen nodded his head and kicked the ball back: "Naturally, if the two countries form an alliance, they will share weal and woe. Once the King of Jin breaks through the defense line of Baidi City in Xishu, soldiers along the Fujiang River In Chengdu, the general of our country was ordered to send troops to Yangping Pass and attack Chengdu from behind."
Zhang Fashun said with a sneer, "It turns out that we have to follow the wind and see that the situation on the battlefield is beneficial to us, so we are willing to send troops to share a share of the pie."
"Zhongwen." Sima Yuanxian called out lightly, but his subordinates exerted force, and the young man under his palm let out a weak and painful muffled groan. Zhang Fa swallowed the rest of the words by the way. Still full of smiles.
Just when the atmosphere was stagnant, the servants in the hall came to report: Yu Kai, the commander of the Wuyi camp, sent someone to pay a visit to the Xiangwang.Yu Kai took the post of Zhonglang in the imperial guards, and he was regarded as a confidant of Sima Yuanxian who held a little military power. From time to time, he would send people to give gifts to Sima Yuanxian.So Sima Yuanxian didn't care about it this time, and raised his hand lazily. Sure enough, a black-robed and gold-armored black-clothed camp guard hurried up to the hall with a wooden box, then knelt down in front of Sima Yuanxian, and put the thing in front of him. Offer it with both hands respectfully.
Sima Yuanxian was too lazy to look at it, and casually patted the waist and buttocks of the young man beside him. The young man quickly took the wooden box and opened it carefully in front of Sima Yuanxian. He got up and took the wooden box in person, closed it behind his back, nodded and smiled and said, "It's a filial piety."
Now even Zhang Fashun and Wang Guobao, who had followed him for a long time, were stunned—this master was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and he had never seen such a treasure when he was young, so what kind of treasure would Yu Kai have to give to enter Sima Yuan Noticing?Wang Guobao was so curious that he was dying, but he didn't dare to say anything, he just coughed lightly and said, "I'm afraid Yu Kai is also planning to conquer the commander of the Western Army?"
Zhang Fashun knew it well, shook his head and said: "How many people are staring at the position of the general of the Zhengxi Army, he is not qualified. It's just that Xie Xuan can't be asked to take this great position again."
Qiao Zong's self-reliance based on Sichuan and Shu was originally a serious problem and a great shame for the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Now that he is even more serious and simply proclaims himself emperor, can the court not attack it with all its strength?That's why Sima Yuanxian's plan to recruit troops can go ahead with such fanfare.
Sima Yuanxian didn't want to go in person - although he was conceited, he also knew that he was like a fledgling yellow-mouthed child on the battlefield; what's more, leaving Jiankang would be tantamount to giving up the power of the prime minister. How can you give up easily when you control the government?
As for Xie Xuan, Sima Yuanxian couldn't let him go. He single-handedly created elite troops in the Beifu and won the battle of Feishui. He has already made great achievements.
Since the leaders of the two factions must sit in the capital and are not allowed to go west, then the ambitious members of the subordinates are naturally eager to try—and even if they ascend the throne, whoever regains Xichuan and puts down the rebellion will be more meritorious. How can the generals not be moved ?Recently, many generals have come to Sima Yuanxian to throw stones and ask for directions, and to move up and down.
Ren Zhen pondered and said: "The selection of the commander-in-chief of Zhengxi is different from that of the general. The three are indispensable. The Beifu Army has Liu Laozhi, and we also have royal family members such as King Qiao. It is not difficult to win. The rest of the generals are big. Fei Siquan, it is not easy to be loyal to His Highness but also brave and good at fighting..."
"This king knows what's in his heart." Sima Yuanxian just smiled and dismissed it, he didn't want to talk any more, and suddenly he hugged the young man beside him into his arms, and made his hand in front of everyone. Leaked by spring and light.
Sima Yuanxian played around for a while, but he didn't know which checkpoint he touched. The young man suddenly trembled, his face flushed, he was trembling all over but refused to snort, the two confidantes under the seat As soon as he dared not speak, he quickly lowered his head.Sima Yuanxian withdrew his hand suddenly, his fingers went all the way up along the young man's white and thin chest, raised his chin and turned to Ren Zhen: "The little thing that Brother Ren gave you is not bad, it has a bit more character than ordinary young men, I don't know where it came from." Did you find it?"
Ren Zhen smiled frankly: "To be honest, I have heard the name of Fengliu Township by the Qinhuai River for a long time. As soon as I entered Jiankang, I asked Master Wang to take me to appreciate it. Seeing that this child is a young man, but because he doesn't know how to serve him without knowing his face No one cares about him, and now he is getting older and taller, and he is almost about to be sold as a slave at a low price, but I feel that this refusal to flatter or pretend to be enchanting is a great beauty of this son, so I bought him, Pack it up and give it to the king, and hope that the king will reward him with a good future in the future."
Sima Yuanxian laughed, and turned to Wang Guobao: "National treasure has always had a heart." Wang Guobao broke out in cold sweat again. He knew that Sima Yuanxian knew that he had disclosed this private preference to Ren Zhen in advance, so that he could vote for it. What he likes is exactly what he wants.Fortunately, Sima Yuanxian's eyes didn't rest on him at all, he lowered his eyelids and looked at the young man's clear and handsome eyebrows as if lovingly: "This king really doesn't like that kind of pretentious and indistinguishable sex, Brother Ren has eyes. "
Ren Zhen giggled on the surface, but in his heart he slandered: You are still called a child, this young man is in his twenties, he is already a young man, and he is older than you, a young man who is not a weak crown.Unexpectedly, Sima Yuanxian's next sentence made his scalp tingle: "In this dynasty, Gu Changshi was proficient in painting, and there was a famous saying that was widely circulated-"The beauty of the four bodies is not about the beauty, but the vividness is the reflection. All in Adujian', although this kid is good, the look of this pair of tricks is still far inferior to that person."
As soon as these words came out, the other three people at the scene started to pretend to be deaf and dumb at the same time—they were all human beings, and everyone could more or less guess Sima Yuanxian's true intentions, but who dared to tell the truth?Zhang Fashun couldn't, Wang Guobao didn't dare, and Ren Zhen didn't want to—Sima Yuan showed his power to the government, who couldn't?But what kind of person is Xie Xuan?You are the most elegant in the world, Jiang Zuo is a unparalleled hero, not to mention that you, Sima Yuanxian, are a prince, even if you are really noble, you would not dare to humiliate you as an emperor.
When Sima Yuanxian saw that everyone was silent, he couldn't help laughing and waving his hands: "It's just a joke." Then he pushed the young man in his arms down his knees, and pointed at Ren Zhen, "Brother Ren is self-deprecating and lustful, and he has similar preferences to this king. Love such a tune, why don't you take this son back and serve him personally?"
The boy's eyes widened, he bit his lower lip and said nothing, but he still walked towards Ren Zhen step by step according to his words. Ren Zhen hurriedly left the table, stretched out his sleeves to Sima Yuanxian and said, "I'm sorry!" Don't dare."
"The person you sent, don't you dare to go back?" Sima Yuanxian's tone suddenly turned cold, and Ren Zhen hurriedly said: "Your Highness has favored you, regardless of life or death, they are all your people, how can you be the second master? If Your Highness If you don’t like it, just reward him with money and send it out, and I will never dare to get involved.”
Wang Guobao and Zhang Fashun both secretly wondered: Sima Yuanxian has always been domineering and arrogant. Of course, he will do everything possible to get what he wants, even if he is tired of playing, he would rather destroy it than give it to others. What kind of trick is this question?
Sima Yuanxian raised his eyebrows and smiled, beckoned the boy back, and embraced him again. He bowed his head in his black hair like a waterfall and smiled meaningfully: "Brother Ren is right."
In the dead of night, after the end of the music feast, only Zhang Fashun, who stayed on purpose in the West Palace, said to Sima Yuanxian, "Your Majesty, you don't like the envoy of Yan, Ren Zhen?" Although it is Ashina Wulie, the actual power is in the hands of the deputy envoy Ren Zhen. Now that they have not accomplished a major event, they can't mess with Xiyan.
Sima Yuanxian coldly pushed the wooden box he had just accepted to his eyes. Zhang Fashun lifted the lid and saw that it was a piece of beautiful jade. Because he recognized that this jade was worn by Sima Shangzhi, the former king of Qiao, he frowned and said, "Is this from Yu Kai?"
Sima Yuanxian shook his head: "Yu Kaixuan has his appearance, but he just used his name to inform the news." He glanced at Zhang Fashun: "It's He Wuji, the captain of Wuyiying's halberd, the nephew of Liu Laozhi, the general of Beifu. .It can be promoted and used by me.” In this world, the most indispensable thing is young people who are ambitious and do not hesitate to climb up, such as how Wuji.
Zhang Fashun quickly agreed, while Sima Yuanxian still looked into the distance with a gloomy expression—it's not that he didn't suspect the inner ghost, but he never thought that it was Ren Zhen who ruined his big business that night!
In addition to the West Prince's Mansion, which is constantly discussing this matter like day and night, the Yongzhen Temple on the outskirts of the city is also brightly lit-Sima Yuanxian's eyeliner is everywhere in Jiankang City, and the Xie Mansion is the key object of stalking, so stay away from the palace Yongzhen Temple, which also belongs to the sphere of influence of Wang Xie's children, has become a secret meeting place that can be avoided.
Just as Xie Xuan stepped into the lobby, all the generals of the Beifu who had been waiting for a long time stood up one after another, clasping their fists loudly: "Shuai Xie!" Xie Xuan raised his hand, signaling for everyone to sit down, and he himself walked to the front, sat down next to Wang Gong, and rushed to him. Nod slightly.
Wang Gong cleared his throat and spoke first, "I summoned you all at night, and I think you all know what happened. Qiao Zong proclaimed himself emperor, and the Western Expedition was imminent. Lord Sima Lang won [-] troops, and finally won military power. If we really regain Xichuan, we can take advantage of the situation and coerce the imperial court to give him nine tins and a yellow axe, and then I will be hard to contain."
The audience was filled with awe, everyone knew that if Sima Yuanxian wins, his arrogance will be high, but if he loses, the Sanwu area will have darkened public grievances due to the relocation of Ding and conscription. —Forcing the people of the Three Wus to move into Jiankang to be organized as military households and the Western Expedition to Qiaozong, for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, both benefited for a while and disadvantaged for a long time... The two are twisted into one, and the initiator is still the same person!
Xie Xuan rubbed his brows, and unexpectedly remembered the tense reunion with that person in Yongzhen Temple a few months ago.
"...Therefore, the only thing our Beifu army can do is to occupy a place in the Zhengxi army and make great contributions to share the power of Lord Sima Lang—" Wang Gong was still analyzing the situation, Xie Xuan suddenly came back to his senses, and looked around Next: "Where is Liu prison?"
There was another silence, and Liu Yu, who joined the army, went out and replied: "Today, I received a report from Pengcheng. General Zhenbei... accidentally fell off his horse and was injured during the drill. He couldn't enter the city to see the governor. I'm pleading guilty."
Will Liu Laozhi fall off the horse and get hurt?Everyone's heart is pumped.Xie Xuan pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, another general, Zhu Lingshi, couldn't help standing up: "Is there such a coincidence? Looking at the Beifu army, apart from Xie Shuai, he is the commander of the Western Expedition , run away like this—" Xie Xuan waved his hand and opened his eyes: "The Dao is firm enough not to let me down." Although Liu Laozhi is still loyal to him, but now he has a big family and a big business, and his eldest son Liu Jingxuan is the internal history of Xuancheng. Working for Sima Yuanxian, sometimes he has to look forward and look backward to make more retreats - his retreat is equivalent to giving Sima Yuanxian the position of Zhengxi's coach.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a while, and Sima Yuanxian held a military parade ceremony for the new army at Moling Pass in the south of Jiankang City in order to show off his power. At that time, the emperor and empress would come in person, and hundreds of officials would gather to watch. Candidates for generals.Xie Xuan pondered for a moment, glanced at the generals, and finally raised his voice: "Zhu Lingshi, I want you to win the position of deputy commander."
Zhu Lingshi rose up in response, and bowed to accept the order. Liu Yu, who was sitting next to him, lowered his head and remained silent, feeling quite disappointed in his heart—his age was almost the same as Zhu Lingshi's, and he was not far behind in terms of martial arts and seniority. Loser, why is Xie Shuai not the best candidate in his mind?
The Western Expedition of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was full of fanfare and power, and Xu Sheng could not be defeated, so Sima Yuanxian planned a grand military parade smugly to demonstrate the prestige of his new army.
As soon as the auspicious time arrived, Emperor An, the queen, the royal family, Xie Xuan Wanggong and other important officials stepped onto the high platform one after another, and finally Ren Zhen and other foreign envoys. Absent, he was replaced by Deputy Envoy Feng Yi, who sat in his seat majestically—it was said that he was sick.Even if someone really has a minor illness, he shouldn't be absent on this occasion. Is it because Murong Xi himself doesn't want to come, or is it because Feng Yi, who is on the stage with him, has resorted to some tricks to prevent him from coming?Ren Zhen was still contemplating, but the loud horn sounded throughout the audience during the military parade, drawing all his attention back.
Xie Xuan also watched coldly on the stage, seeing that the thousands of sons selected from the new army were all strong and strong, and each of them was mighty. After the establishment of the army, there was less than three months of drill time, how could there be such progress?It must be Sima Yuanxian who was very happy and cobbled it together from other places to replace it.The rest of the people didn't know what was going on, so they praised it naturally, even the queen and queen praised it lightly.Sima Yuanxian was even more satisfied, and walked to the empress and bowed in front of the emperor: "Today the generals gathered and the heroes gathered, Xiao Wang got a new thing today, and I specially brought it to everyone to open your eyes and show off your skills."
Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd, so they had to move to the back of the mountain according to his arrangement, and saw an open field surrounded by a curtain with a circumference of hundreds of feet, and the surrounding area was so tightly covered that they could not be seen at all. The inner world.
Emperor Jin'an was always locked in the deep palace on weekdays, and rarely saw the green mountains, green water, blue sky and white clouds, and his spirit improved a lot under the freshness. He grabbed Wang Shen'ai's sleeve beside him like a child, and asked hard: "Sister?" , what are you going to see?"
As if answering the emperor's question, a low growl of a wild beast suddenly burst out from inside the tent, which shocked Andi, and quickly hid behind Wang Shen'ai.All the officials also stood still, and looked at Sima Yuanxian in fear amidst howls of beasts.
Sima Yuan raised his hand calmly, and the soldiers who had been waiting outside the tent were ordered to pull the ropes, and the curtain fell, and he saw a colosseum surrounded by wooden fences with a height of ten feet, and in the middle was a huge iron cage. Close up of a big black bear standing alone.
Andi's eyes widened in surprise, and he didn't know to be afraid for a while, he poked his head out and ran away, Sima Dewen quickly stopped the emperor's brother, even though Wang Shenai stood on the sidelines , was far away from the beast, but his face paled in horror, pointing at Sima Daozi who was rarely seen, he said sharply: "What do you father and son want!"
Sima Yuanxian stood in front of his father, bowed and said, "Don't be alarmed, my lord, this black bear was hunted by Xiao Wang's subordinates in the mountains and forests last year and winter. It has been tamed for many months, and the wildness has faded. Less, so as not to hurt anyone, since all the generals are here today, how about entering the arena to hunt bears, and the winner will be the commander of the West Conquest Army?"
Before Wang Shen'ai could say anything, Emperor Jin'an clapped his hands and expressed his opinion for the first time: "Alright, alright, let's watch the bear hunt."
Xie Xuan never expected that Sima Yuanxian would have such a trick. He subconsciously looked at Ren Zhen who was more than ten people away from him on the other side. It happened that Ren Zhen was also looking back at this time, and his eyes collided. He curled his lips into a smile, a little provocative.
Xie Xuan turned his head, his hands hidden in his sleeves secretly tangled into fists.
On this side, Sima Shangzhi, the king of Qiao who was ordered to reflect behind closed doors, came out first, and knelt down in fear and said: "My Majesty, I have been introspecting for many days, and I know that I have made mistakes. However, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Zheng does not dare to fall behind others, please allow the emperor to allow Xiao Wang to enter the arena to hunt bears, if he wins by chance, he is willing to lead the battle for His Majesty, and die!"
Are you kidding me, a prince hunts bears himself?That black blind man didn't know what the nine ranks are, and the family status is high or low. No matter how noble a person is, he will be slapped into a meatloaf.Wang Shen'ai refused before the emperor was eager to try, but Sima Shangzhi insisted on refusing, knelt on the ground and kept asking the queen to learn from his mistakes, but Wang Shen'ai had no choice but to comfort him, and said that he was "frivolous" before. All the words of "lustful" and "lawless" were withdrawn, and he was praised as "loyalty" and "a pillar of the country" against his will.After tossing and tossing for a long time, it was finally compromised that a warrior from Sima Shangzhi's mansion would take the place of the master and end up hunting bears.
After watching the farce, Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at his favorite general Zhu Lingshi: "Bo Er, would you like to fight for my handsome?"
Zhu Lingshi got up, clasped his fists only, and said nothing nonsense.
The rest of the officers and soldiers who were interested in raising money took the initiative to invite Yingying, and a total of six people were obtained. All the generals received swords, guns, swords and halberds engraved with "Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang, Universe, Great Desolation" and prepared to enter the arena.The burly man from Prince Qiao's Mansion was the first to enter the arena shirtless, but when he saw that he was eight feet long and shaped like a black tower, his body was full of muscles, and his beard and hair were all gaping. He stood in front of the black bear with jaw-dropping eyes.Zhu Lingshi paid his respects to the empress before he took off his light armor and went into battle shirtless to show fairness.
Ren Zhen folded his sleeves and took a seat: he had already coated the weapons of Sima Yuanxian's soldiers with a large dose of silver rings in advance. , and also support that the limbs will be paralyzed and lose mobility in a short time, so it is a matter of course that he died at the hands of Sima Yuanxian.
The gongs and cymbals sounded, the ropes that bound the bear were cut immediately, the iron grid was opened, and the black bear groaned a few times and staggered out of the cage.Zhu Lingshi was just at the age when Fanggang was eager to show his blood. He greeted him with a sword. The blade cut through the thick fur and splashed a stream of blood. Zhu Lingshi slapped it away, Zhu Lingshi pointed his toes, and he could barely avoid it. The place where he stood was already full of sand and gravel.Unwilling to be outdone, the rest rushed forward—in an instant, blood and flesh flew across the field, and the sound of killing was deafening.
Everyone was within a hundred steps of this heart-pounding fight, and they all felt their hearts tremble. Wang Shen'ai could only take a few glances, so he stood up and evaded the table in a panic. , bringing out a large pool of stinky blood, the black bear was in extreme pain, screamed and stood up, and suddenly threw out all the people hanging on the left, and fell heavily to the ground amidst a sound of exclamation.
Ren Zhen frowned - no, the medicine should have taken effect by now, why is this black bear getting stronger and stronger?It was too late to say it, but then it was too late, the wrestler from the Qiao Palace struggled to get up, and was the first to rush forward to stop the black bear, but the scarred black bear rushed forward madly, raising his iron palm as big as a cattail leaf fan Slapping it suddenly, a large mass of flesh and blood was torn off in an instant. The strong man screamed and rolled to the side, with most of his arms missing.The black bear became ferocious, roared and rushed towards the seriously injured person, with such force that it even crushed the wooden fence on the side in one fell swoop!
Xie Xuanteng got up, raised his hand and shouted: "Guard!" The Wuyi Ying has always been the royal guard, but has never seen such a scene, trembling in front of the emperor and empress, his face is ashen and his face is ashen. The last time he saw the bear Sure enough, he roared and approached the gap step by step, wishing he could drop his ceremonial weapon and turn around and run away.The officials closest to the ground also set up a commotion, the two Yan missions were the first to bear the brunt, Wu Lie hurriedly protected Ren Zhen and retreated, but in the crowded chaos, many weak people were pushed, shoved and fell, and one unfortunately rolled into the black bear. In front of him, he was slapped into a blurred mass of flesh and blood.As a result, the sound of terrified cries for help interspersed with the roar of wild beasts continued, and the crowd was suddenly in a state of panic crying for their parents and mothers.Xie Xuan gritted his teeth, and while swearing to protect the empress, he pulled out a guard's saber, turned around and rushed towards the berserk black bear!
Liu Yu was not allowed to play this time, so he stayed on the stage all the time. Seeing that Xie Xuan took the initiative to fight to divert the animal's attention, he quickly ordered people to protect the emperor and the empress and the officials to retreat. When he looked back again, he saw that the black bear had indeed been captured. It was taken away from the direction, and there were dozens of knife wounds and sword marks all over its body, and the blood poured down, but it still screamed maniacally, and slapped the struggling Xie Xuan with one palm after another. They are all ashes, no matter how brave Xie Xuan is, that beast is infinitely powerful and crazy like crazy, not afraid of swords. Exhausted, he staggered, and was knocked to the ground by the air wave. The black bear bared its teeth and let out a roar, and stepped on Xie Xuan's wide sleeve with one foot.
Liu Yu was shocked, and just about to stand up to help, suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a figure flashed quickly, snatching the golden carved bow of the dumbfounded Wuyiying guard beside him, and then stepped on the top of the canopy with a stride, The sharp arrow whized off the string in a flash, and shot into the blood-red right eye the moment the black bear raised its iron palm, and then pierced through the skull with the force of thunder and ice!
The black bear screamed and roared violently and jumped up. The next moment, Xie Xuan jumped up, holding the sword in his backhand, and pierced the black bear's heart with all his strength!
Hot blood poured down his head, Xie Xuan shouted loudly, twisted the blade sharply and pulled it out, the raging black bear finally fell to the ground convulsing and roaring, the blood under his body twisted and spread out of the broken body. body fur.
Xie Xuan was on his knees, staring at the bear carcass while panting violently. Unexpectedly, he stretched out his hands obliquely and supported his arms involuntarily, making him stand upright with an undeniable force. Ren Zhen's tone was still full of A little cynical taunt: "This is so frightening, Xie Shuai?"
Xie Xuan turned his head to look at the man who was close at hand, raised his elbow to wipe off the blood on his cheek, and said coldly, "It's a joke."
