The Legend of the Royal Cat

Chapter 11 Undercurrents surging

Sensing the change in Zhan Zhao, King Huai's eyes became confused and complicated, and finally the moonlight cup full of fine wine flew out, hitting Zhan Zhao's heart directly.Feeling the strong wind coming, Zhan Zhao shook his wrists and turned around, the moonlight cup was standing firmly on the tip of the sword, and there was not even a drop of wine.King Huai's blow pulled Zhan Zhao back from his thoughts, Zhan Zhao smiled lightly, and with the power to shake the sword, he threw the moonlight cup up, a drop of fine wine overflowed, the red shadow jumped up, the tip of the sword tapped lightly, dripping the wine It came out horizontally, impartially, and landed on the musician's dulcimer, the strings groaned softly, turned around and raised the sword, picked up the moonlight cup and threw it over, the wine drops scattered in the air, Zhan Zhaojian picked up one of them like a shadow As soon as you pluck the strings, the music sounds come out in sequence, which is actually a piece of "General Order"!At the end of the song, the sword flew into its sheath, and the cup fell into his hand. Zhan Zhao raised his glass and said, "Thank you, my lord, for giving me the wine!"

After a moment of silence, all the talents came out from the zither sound and sword dance just now, and shouted together: "Good swordsmanship!"

"Imperial brother, how about Zhanwei's swordsmanship! Ha ha! To tell you the truth, the emperor specially ordered Zhanwei to be responsible for personally protecting the safety of the imperial brother and Princess Huaishuo in Beijing. What do you think of the imperial brother?" Eight Sage Kings Seeing that the time is ripe, it shows the holy will.

"Is the emperor underestimating the guards in my Huai Palace, or is he exalting a small guard, or is he worried about this king? This king is just a reclusive prince who is nearly fifty years old and doesn't care about state affairs. Who would treat this king?" What's wrong?!" King Huai sneered.

"This—" Facing King Huai's rhetorical question, the Eight Sage Kings felt ashamed and at a loss for words, speechless.

"Prince Huai misunderstood!" Zhan Zhao lifted his robe and saluted. "Although Zhan Zhao is the imperial guard, he has been seconded to Kaifeng Mansion to listen to him and follow Mr. Bao to investigate the case. It is only because several officials in the court have been assassinated one after another in the past few months, but The murderer is still at large. This time the prince returned to Beijing, the emperor and the eight virtuous kings were worried that the murderer would harm the prince, so they ordered Zhan Zhao to assist Commander Wei to protect the safety of the prince and princess. Zhan Zhao was chosen because the Kaifeng government has been in charge of the case , this subordinate has a certain understanding of what the murderer is doing, so it should be helpful to the safety of the hotel. Please also forgive the good intentions of the emperor and the eight sage kings!"

Those who came out of the Kaifeng mansion really didn't know how to live or die. Joining the silent gunpowder between the two princes at this time is tantamount to setting fire to the upper body!Zhan Zhao, oh Zhan Zhao, how do you become this son-in-law? !Grand Master Pang Ji secretly smiled inwardly, sitting aside and waiting to watch the show; why did the Eight Sage Kings explain Zhanwei like this? !It's just that even Prince Huai doesn't know about it, it seems a bit strange!Prime Minister Wang, who only knew about the son-in-law, was at a loss; it seemed that the news brought back by Dynasty Mahan this afternoon was the real purpose of the Baxian King's secondment of Zhanwei. The reason, just like this, wouldn't he put himself at the forefront of the most dangerous limelight, if the case was really related to King Huai, how could he easily let Zhan Wei go?Bao Zheng secretly sweated for Zhan Zhao, while the Eight Worthy King secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "That's true. Assassinations happen one after another, and it's always good to have multiple layers of protection. Brother, don't be stubborn. "The current crisis is temporarily resolved, but it seems that it is not easy to keep Zhan Zhao by King Huai's side.

"Hmph!" King Huai snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with Zhan Zhao's daring to speak back, and Commander Wei behind King Huai had already tightly grasped a pair of purple gold hammers, his murderous aura was steaming!Sensing the strangeness behind him, King Huai said coldly, "Since that's the case, Zhan Huwei will prove to me the role you left behind! Wei Bi, compete with Zhan Huwei. Wei Bi loses, Zhan Zhao stays!"

King Huai has always been one-sided, the late emperor could not do anything to him when he was alive, it seems that it is useless to talk too much, he can only rely on Zhan Zhao, with a sigh, the Eight Wise Kings nodded to Zhan Zhao.This would give Zhan Zhao a headache, obviously he must win, only in this way can he win the chance to complete the task, and facing the Commander Wei who is already full of hostility towards him, if he wins, it will only add great obstacles to his subsequent actions !So - the only way to win is to stay calm, so that King Huai has no reason to reject him, and let Weibi lose without losing face.After making up his mind, Zhan Zhao turned around and took down the sword, which floated back to the center of the hall, clasped his fists and said, "Zhan Zhao obeys, Commander Wei, please!"

"Guard Zhan, please!" Wei Bi swung the hammers in his hands, the wind pierced his ears, he jumped into the battle circle, and swung his hammers at Zhan Zhao Tianling.

Zhan Zhao knew that Wei Bi's physical strength was astonishing, and a pair of purple gold hammers weighed more than a hundred catties. If he was hit by it, his bones would be broken and his gold would be broken, and his life would be dead if he was serious. Count countermeasures.Wei Bi's strikes were ruthless and his moves were deadly. From an outsider's point of view, Zhan Zhao was forced to dodge left and right by Wei Bi's pair of golden hammers. He was very passive. Bao Zheng, who knew Zhan Zhao's physical condition, was most worried. Prime Minister Wang also waited and watched with one heart.

After two hundred rounds of fighting, the two were still tied, Wei Bi lost his composure, and his offensive became more and more fierce.Zhan Zhao has been waiting for an opportunity, and when the time is right, he deliberately followed Wei Bi's attack and gradually lost his position, using the sword style to the extreme, revealing his flaws.Wei Bi was overjoyed, he swung his hammer and hit Zhan Zhao's sword-holding right hand.Zhan Zhao felt that his right hand was in pain from the blow of the hammer, he turned his wrist outwards, and swung his sword to attack with the golden hammer.Zhan Zhao flipped the swallow upside down with a move, and narrowly avoided the dangerous blow, but the sword in his hand was also thrown into the air by the wind of the hammer.Leaping backwards in the air, the left hand has already held the Juque, before Weibi can turn around, the sword flower shakes, and the person has jumped out of the circle, "Commander Wei, the divine power is amazing, Zhan Zhao admires it!" Zhan Zhao closed his sword and clasped his fist. , a bloodstain dripped from the tiger's mouth on his right hand. "Guard Zhan, let it go!" Wei Bi glanced at Zhan Zhao's bleeding right hand, as if he was still unwilling.

"Hehe, as expected of the commander of the guards of Prince Huai's residence, the commander of the guard is world-class in martial arts, how can he be compared to the general sloppy, small guards?!" Seeing that Zhan Zhao was injured, Grand Master Pang sneered triumphantly.

"Weibi, arrange a room for Zhan's guard in Nanjing Pavilion, responsible for the princess's safety." King Huai ignored Pang Ji, and issued an order that made Grand Master Pang's face turn black.

"My lord, this subordinate didn't lose! Why?!" Why did you want to keep Zhan Zhao?Wei Bi couldn't believe it.

"You lost, you lost in momentum from the moment you couldn't hold your breath, touch the belt behind your official hat!" King Huai's tone was still without any emotion.

When Wei Bi touched his official hat belt, he realized that he had indeed lost. Both belts had been cut off by four-fifths. Before he could turn around in time, Zhan Zhao, who was holding a sword in his left hand, was completely defeated. You can take your own head!

"There are not many people in the world who can force Nan Xia Zhan Zhao to hold a sword with his left hand. Wei Bi, you are not wronged!" King Huai, who knows his subordinate's personality well, comforted him at the right time, and at the same time cast a sidelong glance at Zhan Zhao, An imperceptible smile fell out.Zhan Zhao was startled when he heard the words, with just one move, King Huai saw that his left hand was better at controlling the sword than his right, apart from his master, even Bai Yutang, who pestered him all day to compare swords, didn't know This secret, because unless it is a critical moment, I will never use the sword with my left hand, just now I just flicked the sword flower, but I didn't really use it!King Huai - really a powerful character!

"I'm a bit tired from the long journey to Beijing. Brother Emperor, let's end today's banquet. Tomorrow morning, I will personally go up to thank the emperor Long En!" Without waiting for everyone's reaction, King Huai issued an order to evict the guests.So the Eight Sage Kings and all the officials were invited out of the residence.All the officials were puzzled, but seeing that the Eight Sage Kings had no objection, they went back to their homes, saying that they met a strange prince and went to a strange banquet.The Eight Wise Kings were afraid that King Huai would be suspicious, so they didn't say much to Zhan Zhao who was sending him out of the hall, and only gave Zhan Zhao a trusting look before getting on the sedan chair.

"My lord, don't worry, my subordinates are fine." Zhan Zhaocai said to the worried Bao Zheng after seeing off the Eight Sage Kings.

"Zhan Wei, do you know that you have put yourself in a dangerous situation just now, if it is really related to this case, wouldn't it be against you?!" Bao Zheng sighed.

"My lord, my subordinates have their own sense of proportion. This case is very tricky. If we can lead the murderer to the light, it will be a solution. Moreover, it may be safer to do so!" Zhan Zhao smiled lightly.

"The government understands. Guard Zhan, be more careful. This is the medicine Mr. Gongsun asked the government to bring to you. It's a good time to recuperate. Don't try to be brave! Otherwise, if Mr. Gongsun wants to punish you after returning to the residence, This government can't stop it and doesn't care!" Master Bao had a doting smile on his dark face.

"Your subordinates just follow orders. Sir, don't worry about it. You have to take care of yourself! Sir, if this subordinate's guess is correct, Bai Yutang will visit Kaifeng Mansion in a few days, and then please pass this kit to Brother Bai." When Zhao received a large package of herbs, he stuffed a small kit into Bao Zheng's hand and whispered.Bao Zheng nodded knowingly, turned around and got into the sedan chair to leave.

Watching Bao Zheng's official sedan chair gradually disappear, Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, turned around and walked into the hotel——

"Unexpectedly, the black-faced Mr. Bao, who is always fearsome and selfless, is very considerate to his subordinates!" Wei Bi squinted at the herbs in Zhan Zhao's hand, and snorted coldly, "Guard Zhan, can you move to Nanjing Pavilion? "

Having experienced King Huai's sharp words, Zhan Zhao is no stranger to Wei Bi's harsh words, "Commander Lao Wei has been waiting for a long time, please lead the way!" Now Wei Bi's hostility towards him continues unabated, It's understandable, but it seems unreasonable to be hostile to him from the beginning of the meeting, unless it is——Could it be that King Huai already knew the strategy of the Eight Sage Kings?If this is the case, Weibi is not only a big obstacle, but also a good breakthrough!
