The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 885 Xiao Ruoyu shocked the capital

Ling Ruoyu didn't know why this majesty's aunt looked at him so meaningfully...

Others are very fond of me. The people who supposedly hate Ye Wuming the most are Aunt Jiuyou and Aunt Piaomiao, but they are both very kind to me. After all, they have a share in shaping the galaxy into Ling Ruoyu. They have the guts to look at their own masterpieces. I mean, they are quite kind to us. Even if he was muttering about Ye Wuming in his heart, he would not vent his anger on the juniors, which would disgrace them as the top demon gods.

Only this His Majesty looked like he was looking at the mistress.

 The situation did not allow Ling Ruoyu to analyze His Majesty's aunt's attitude. No matter what position she holds within the family, to others, the prestige of the Queen of Tianhan who has dominated the world for thirty years is no joke. No one dares to be presumptuous in front of her. Xia Chichi's arrival instantly made the scene tense. Under orderly control, the venue was completely silent, and everyone was waiting for her to take charge.

Xia Chichi stood on the city gate tower, scanning the scene below indifferently, focusing on Zhao Changhe who was hiding in the crowd, and finally said: "The little girl today is so energetic... I was at this age back then. When he came out of the world, he relied on the support of the Four Elephants Holy Sect and the Reverend Suzaku, and he still lived a cautious life. "

Ling Ruoyu: “…”

These words are so provocative...

Just secretly rub it in Yin and Yang, your backer is big, Ye Wuming Yue Hongling is more powerful than Suzaku. Aunt Suzaku, who came back by boat together before, didn't know how she felt after hearing this.

Others could not understand the connotation, so someone flattered him and said: "Your Majesty was born in troubled times, but under your rule, the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful. The little girl today is able to survive the wind and rain. This is the result of your Majesty's contribution to the tree planted by the predecessors." "

Xia Chichi poked out Cui Yuanyang's head from beside him.

The flatterer immediately added a few words: "Ah, of course it is also the contribution of King Zhao and Cui Shozuo."

Xia Chichi glanced at him and smiled kindly: "Shilang Dai said it very well. Go back and copy the laws of Han Dynasty three times."

 Shilang Dai: "?"

Everyone knows that His Majesty loves to punish people to copy books, but they don’t know what kind of bad luck this has caused. There is no way that the unofficial rumors about King Zhao’s dirty palace and his majesty and the queen mother and daughter serving together are somewhat true, right?

 Speaking of it, with the current control of the imperial court, it can’t even suppress such unofficial history. Isn’t it a bit...

Xia Chichi coughed dryly and said calmly: "It can be said that it has not gone through the wind and rain... Just a few days ago, this Miss Ling went south guarding her sword and fought twenty or thirty battles in one day. It was a bit reckless, but it was also quite... King Xiao Zhao, the current challenge seems arrogant, it is also the first of its kind by King Zhao, and he should not be blamed. "

 Zhao Changhe: “…”

 Are you scolding me?

Xia Chichi continued: "Miss Ling's meritorious service in protecting the sword should be rewarded. Regardless of the capital or the region, they are my people after all. The people of the capital should be magnanimous. Since the little girl challenges the capital, you all should respond with strength. It is a rare story in today's world. Don't rely on more to win, which will ruin the style of a warrior."

The emperor did not blame the offender but instead commended him for his skill in protecting the sword. However, there was no actual reward when he was commended. He just maintained justice in the world and did not allow more to win. Everyone at the city gate listened and didn't know whether the emperor was praising him or what. He was really a king. Unpredictable.

 But the tone has finally been set, and he is really planning to see this little girl challenge the Gyeonggi People’s List alone.

That Huang Youde then said: "The sword has no eyes, if it hurts..."

Xia Chichi glanced at him: "I will protect you and don't hurt others."

I secretly thought in my heart that this is to protect you. You are my people anyway, and you cannot be killed casually. If you were like you back then, you would be fed to the galaxy... I can only say that it is you who are being protected from the wind and rain. My surname is Zhao. On the contrary, she is practicing her baby.

Huang Youde didn't know that His Majesty had so many dramas in his heart. He felt a little regretful when he heard this. He turned to Ling Ruoyu and said: "Miss Ling, you must know that there are mountains beyond the mountains. The heroes of the capital are not known to you, a little girl. I will teach you a lesson today." ”

Ling Ruoyu watched the show for a long time and analyzed her aunt's attitude towards him for a long time. She secretly thought that she could finally do something serious, so she didn't say much and directly responded: "Please."

Xia Chichi curled her lips. This is not only Ye Wuming’s problem, this posture, demeanor, movements and tone are really too Yue Hongling...

 I really want to bully her.

"Choke!" Huang Youde drew his sword and pointed: "Miss Ling, please draw your sword."

Ling Ruoyu's gaze that had always been dull and almost profound suddenly became sharp, and he said calmly: "There is no need to draw your sword against your Excellency."

Xia Chichi: "?"

 Very good, you can pretend. Master Qi and Daddy have not taught you anything else, but they have taught you how to pretend.

Huang Youde over there was trembling with anger: "Then your journey of challenge ends here!"

 “Whoosh!” The sword light moved across the ground.

Zhao Changhe took out the gourd and took a sip of wine.

 When he raised his neck, the sword light reached Ling Ruoyu's throat. Ling Ruoyu's body swayed slightly, her steps stumbled, and her right hand holding the scabbard suddenly moved.

 “Choke!” Half of the long sword popped out, and the hilt hit Huang Youde’s wrist accurately. Huang Youde clearly watched her movements, and the trajectory was clear, but what was strange was that it was as if he had arrived at the door. His wrist was hit without any suspense, and the long sword fell to the ground with a burst of pain.

Ling Ruoyu's sword fell back into its sheath, and Huang Youde's long sword fell to the ground. The voices of both sides sounded almost at the same time. At the same time, Zhao Changhe's gourd returned to his position.

 Huang Youde looked at the sword that fell on the ground while covering his sore and numb wrist in shock. He still doesn't understand how he was hit.

 There was silence in the place, staring blankly at the upright girl.

In the battle of Renbang, the sword was not even drawn, and the victory was decided in only half a move. This can hardly be called a battle of human rankings, and the ranking list of torturing people is nothing more than that, right?

People can't even understand the whole story of this battle. The movements are very clear and there is nothing mysterious, but why can't Huang Youde, who has comparable strength on the surface, break through such a simple attack by Ling Ruoyu?

Xia Chichi asked Cui Yuanyang next to her in a low voice: "This routine of predicting the opponent's sword path, as if letting the opponent bump into him, is Yue Hongling's new creation? This is not her style."

Cui Yuanyang said leisurely: "No, we have seen her practice swordsmanship in the past two days. It is not this kind of routine... It is said that when she went south, Brother Zhao taught her by pretending to be a pig. I think she is not only using her eyesight to predict this time, but also involving A small amount of time and space is used. Otherwise, if it is just to predict the sword path, a warrior of the opponent's level will not be completely unable to deal with it. "

Xia Chichi was silent for a moment: "Although the secret has been linked to heaven and earth, it is still difficult to use time and space..."

"So she is Xinghe... Although she has not used Xinghe's ability, her innate intention is her biggest cheat, and ordinary people cannot fight with her. She only needs experience now, a lot of practical experience."

Xia Chichi nodded and announced: "Ling Ruoyu wins this battle. Who else wants to challenge?"

 The scene was a little awkward for a while.

Originally, a sixteen-year-old girl rushed to the capital to talk shamelessly, and the men in the capital thought she was here for abuse. Now they realized that this was a person recognized by the Troubled Times, and she was still fighting all the way across the canal. Coming from Qianlong No. 1, he has the qualifications to be crazy.

At this time, Ling Ruoyu suddenly drew his sword and shouted like a dragon: "Is there any other hero who wants to teach me?"

 The breeze blows, and the long hair is flying.

"It doesn't hurt to be sparse, and it doesn't matter to be crazy...it's exactly the same as her father was in the capital." In the distance, Huangfu Qing wore a red bird mask and stood at the top of the city, his eyes full of nostalgia.

After no one responded for a long time, Xia Chichi showed a smile and nodded at the Minister Dai: "Is Minister Dai thirty on the list?"

“Well, back to your majesty, I am number twenty-nine on the list, and I was replaced two days ago.”

 “Then you go.”

"ah?"

“Why, because your ranking is lower, you don’t dare to challenge someone with a higher ranking? If Han Wufeng has fallen like this, it’s not far away.”

Shilang Dai immediately said: "I don't mean that, so go ahead."

Xia Chichi pointed to the left and right again: "You, you, and you are all on the list, go ahead."

 Everyone looked at each other. Dai Shilang didn't want to go before, mainly because it was so awkward for an official to compete with a little folk girl. It would be fine if he won, but it would be ugly if he lost. But now His Majesty actually means to personally send court officials to test the little girl.

Your Majesty, are you really not afraid of losing the prestige of the imperial court?

Cui Yuanyang said with a smile: "What's your expression? This is the Jade Pai secret agent of our Demon Suppressing Department. The imperial court wins anyway, so let's go."

　　　…”

The three people had just jumped off the top of the city. The sword light flashed in front of them. Dai Shilang, who came down first, had already retreated in panic. He had not taken three moves from Ling Ruoyu's sword.

At any rate, his performance was a little better than the previous twentieth one, and he did not lose the court's face. Xia Chichi did not feel dissatisfied and said with a smile: "It's not bad, there will be a reward. There is no need to copy the Han law three times."

Dai Shilang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He turned around and saw that the three colleagues who had just left the stage had been swept away by Ling Ruoyu's sword: "Everyone, you can come together." No face?

The three officials all looked back at the emperor with some help, waiting for instructions. Xia Chichi nodded with a straight face: "Since it was her request, let's come together."

The people of the capital had the honor to witness a group of famous warriors from the imperial court besieging a sixteen-year-old girl. Among them was one who was ranked twelfth, higher than Ling Ruoyu. What is shocking is that even though there are three against one, they are still locked in a stalemate for a long time.

Cui Yuanyang deflected: "With three against one, we can set a time. If Miss Ling survives for a certain period of time, she will win."

Xia Chichi nodded: "My love, what you said makes sense, just a stick of incense. Come, take my Qinglong Holy Incense."

 A moment later, a giant incense stick with a diameter of half a foot and a height of ten feet stood at the top of the city.

 “Pfft…” Zhao Changhe spit out a mouthful of wine.

Above and below the city, countless people in the capital covered their faces.

Is this the emperor taking the lead and a group of gentlemen from the capital bullying a little girl? How is this country...

Ling Ruoyu was surrounded by three strong men and fought like a lantern, and he was beaten so hard that he was dripping with sweat and his hair was messy.

 Unexpectedly, there is already someone with the second level of Secret Treasure who belongs to the same list of people. I think back then, some of the first level secret treasures could be squeezed into the earth rankings, but now the second level is only worthy of being ranked outside the dozen or so on the human list...

In addition, since the central government has become more centralized and has more resources, the strongest people in the world have been gathered and used by the imperial court. After entering the imperial court, they have received more cultivation. The imperial generals have become stronger than the rough and tumble in the world. It can be seen from this duel. , the strong men in the imperial court were far more solid than Huang Youde.

 I really can't do it if I want to fight one against three. All I can do is see how long I can last.



In the midst of his busy schedule, he secretly glanced at Zhao Changhe in the crowd. Zhao Changhe looked encouraging and was transmitting a message: "Chichi is not bullying you, but helping you to sharpen yourself. Don't use the galaxy to survive this stick of incense. Master will give you a reward." ”

Ling Ruoyu suddenly felt that he had strength in his body, and his sword light surged, drawing his opponents into it.

 "Sunset Divine Sword!" Finally someone with knowledge recognized it: "I dare to say that this girl is the direct descendant of Yue Hongling, no wonder she is so powerful!"

 “That’s it, you’re qualified to be crazy!”

“The Sunset Divine Sword himself is not only beautiful and sassy, ​​but the disciples he teaches are also beautiful and sassy.”

　　No one noticed that His Majesty the Emperor's face on the top of the city was as black as the bottom of a pot, and even Cui Shouzuo's face turned blue.

On the contrary, Ling Ruoyu felt a little guilty. The master did not allow him to declare his identity to the outside world. He was afraid that others would not dare to cause trouble because of Yue Hongling's name. He had lost his experience in the world and ended up getting slapped on the head and revealing his special skills. From now on. What should I do with my experience? Will the master scold others?

With a weak heart, his hand became weak. The sword light came from the side. Ling Ruoyu's sword was so weak that he rolled on the ground in embarrassment, seeing that he was about to lose.

Xia Chichi's voice came at this moment: "A stick of incense has arrived. Miss Ling is defeated, but the time is up. How about a draw?"

Ling Ruoyu held the sword in his hand and said, "I lost."

The three powerful generals of the imperial court all held their hands in admiration: "Miss Ling, you're welcome, it's because we lost."

"I say a draw is a draw." Xia Chichi stood up and said, "Arrange the official residence for Miss Ling to stay. You will continue to fight from tomorrow. When you win the siege of the three of them, come to the palace to see me."

Ling Ruoyu breathed out a breath of exhaustion.

His Majesty’s aunt is so sharp-tongued that she is really sharpening her skills.

However, the trial does not require fighting all day long. Why can’t I go to the palace to see you at night? I have to win the battle? The girl fell into deep confusion.

 The emperor led the crowd to withdraw. The people in the capital watched the great show and entered the city with satisfaction. No matter how the emperor judged the outcome of this battle, Ling Ruoyu actually won in the hearts of the people.

Horse and sword alone, he invites the people of Gyeonggi to fight. The emperor came in person, and thousands of people gathered to watch, and he fought throughout the court and the public.

 This is not a legend, what else is a legend...especially the little girl is so beautiful.

Ling Ruoyu didn't know how much he was pretending. Many of his pretentious words and performances were called natural instincts. He was not pretending on purpose. He just wanted to practice. It's not like my master back then, who was just pretending.

After the crowd dispersed, Ling Ruoyu quietly found his master who was hiding on the edge of the city. He lowered his head and asked, "Master, have I caused trouble? I exposed the Sunset Divine Sword in public. Will I have no more experience in the future? I am too arrogant. …”

Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Since the battle of Tiger Hill ended, there is nothing left for you to practice in the world today. The battle of the capital will be your last madness in the world. After that, we will change places."

Ling Ruoyu's eyes flashed: "Where to change?"

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "How about traveling through the ancient times and testing swords with gods and demons?"

Ling Ruoyu was overjoyed: "Is it okay?"

"Of course...but in order to avoid cause and effect turbulence, it is not necessary to take this path. I have some other ideas, and I will confirm them later." Zhao Changhe touched her head: "You performed very well today, what reward do you want?"

 “I don’t want anything else. Let Longque play with me for a day.”

Longque: "...get out of here."

Zhao Changhe took out the dragon bird from the ring and flicked it: "Why are you talking to your sister?"

 The dragon bird wants to cry but has no tears. Do you think this is a well-behaved sister Ling who wants to hit me? She wants to hit me...

The master clearly sensed Long Que's heartfelt wishes, but he seemed not to believe her small report. He untied Long Que and handed it to Ling Ruoyu, then went into the palace to find Zai Wan.

Ling Ruoyu held the dragon bird in his hand and grinned: "I lost today, so I'm in a bad mood."

The dragon bird turned around and flew away. Ling Ruoyu grabbed the handle of the knife and dragged it back.

The people in the capital watched as Miss Ling, who had just made a big show at the city gate, dragged a broad knife that was almost as tall as her into the official residence. Not long after, the sound of flying chickens and dogs was heard in the official residence, and then gradually subsided.

 Zhao Changhe was sitting in the emperor's palace, making tea with Xia Chichi.

Xia Chichi looked up at the sky and wondered: "Won't the book open the back door for her children today? Although the battle is not in place today, it is still possible to get a few promotions, right?"

"Thanks to your giant incense stick." Zhao Changhe laughed: "If it is an ordinary incense stick, it can be overcome in a while, and it is considered a win, then I guess the smelly blind man will really show off. In the end, he was dragged down by your giant incense stick to lose Okay, let’s just call it a draw, even a blind man needs to maintain order.”

Xia Chi nodded: "You know her so well..."

Zhao Changhe: "...No, I just praise you for handling things properly. It not only gave Ruoyu experience, but also kept the court from losing face."

Xia Chichi grinded her teeth: "Even the two venerables have the understanding to give me space to be alone with you, don't you have anything to say to me? You are talking about Ling Ruoyu."

Aren't you telling me about Ling Ruoyu's promotion or not? Zhao Changhe didn't dare to protest and said with a smile: "How is the child? What's his name? Did he buy a house in the school district..."

Xia Chichi said: "How do you know I've been retching these past two days?"

That expression, I don’t know whether it was resentment or a show, there seemed to be a light on his face.

So Zhao Changhe's face also became brighter.

Chi Chi may have gotten used to it after experiencing the strange appearance of being pregnant for thirty years, but for him, Zhao Changhe, his initial relationship with Chi Chi Tianhe was only a dozen days ago, and it was just like a normal person who discovered that his wife was having an affair. There is no difference in feeling pregnant.

 I never thought that Fengyu Jianghu would actually have a child of his own in these years.

Xia Chichi leaned gently in his arms, held his hand and stroked his belly, and said with a smile: "You can save a seed before you die. There are unexpected benefits. The ministers know that I am pregnant, although it is difficult to understand. I don’t dare to say anything about this kind of freak. Anyway, if I use the teachings of the Four Symbols Sect to endorse it, it will only be a holy fetus. It’s an eye-opening question about the country’s origins. No one is urging me to get married. It’s a peace of mind before you leave, otherwise you’ll be in trouble.”

Zhao Changhe never thought about this problem. Now that he thinks about it, Piaomiao may have had a premonition of this at the beginning. This matter is related to the stability of the country, so it was done in one shot.

"Regardless of whether this child is male or female, he is destined to be the future emperor when he is born. I will pass the throne as soon as possible." You don’t want to be alone in this world. This time, even if you want to die, you must take me with you.”
