The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 547
There are very few courtiers who can influence King Zhao, and the only one who knows the princesses in the palace so well is Juluhou Zhao Mu.In addition, the news she heard was indeed that Zhao Mu was admonishing King Zhao to make her the crown prince and concubine of Wei State, in order to secure the heart of Wei State, in exchange for a temporary respite on the border of Zhao State.

Zhao Yan got involved.It is difficult for South Korea to protect itself, and Qi is recuperating.After Le Yi destroyed Qi last time, in just a few decades, Qi has not slowed down and was unable to go west.The state of Chu was also half disabled. After the battle of Yan and Ying, under the attack of Lord Wu'an Baiqi, the state of Chu lost its old capital, Yingdu, and the entire Jianghan Plain fell into the hands of the state of Qin.At this time, Chu State had moved its capital to Chen Ying.

Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, Qi, Chu, and South Korea are difficult to influence Zhao Yan's affairs, and only Wei has this ability.Lord Xinling stole the talisman to save Zhao, which made all the countries deeply jealous.

"Princess Qian."

Bai Gui cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he has a plan in mind. My father is only a meager courtier, so how can he affect the calculation of the Majesty's temple. It's okay for Princess Qian to slip up in front of me, but if she slips in front of the King, it's a big deal." guilty."

"This……"

Zhao Qian suddenly fell silent.

She didn't expect Bai Gui to be so eloquent.As soon as this sentence came out, if she still scolded Bai Gui and Juluhou Zhao Mu, she would be questioning her father's decision.Don't look at her being favored by the king of Zhao on weekdays, but it involves major affairs of the two countries, and the prestige of the king of Zhao, her father will not let her off easily.

"After Mr. Li fell into the water, Zhang Yi and Su Qin have the ability to use this tongue on me, a woman and child."

After suffering a small loss, Zhao Qian did not dare to show weakness, and sneered.

Zhang Yi and Su Qin are all well-known people in the world.If we compare these two human beings on weekdays, we will praise them at that time.But the words of the two of them amazed the nations and the princes were afraid... Compared to this, Bai Gui's words against her seemed much despicable.

Bai Gui didn't answer, took a sip of the sifted wine, and looked outside the palace.

As time progresses, guests are seated.

Most of the cases close to King Zhao were princes, ministers, and children of nobles.And in the back seats are the family members of some ministers.The pre-Qin customs were open, so there were many young women who entered the venue, which looked quite seductive.

After a while, Lian Jin appeared in a samurai uniform.

Lian Jinxuan is handsome and handsome, and has a good reputation in various countries.As soon as he appeared on the stage, he attracted the eyes of the guests present.Especially some aristocratic women frequently looked sideways at Lian Jin.

"Chief Wu..."

Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu who was sitting at the table, suddenly said, "If Mr. Hongying doesn't dislike it, I have another good seat here, so please come to my place for a seat."

"The chief of the Wu clan is generous, he probably doesn't mind that."

He smiled.

Hongying son Lian Jin is a guest of Wufu, so logically speaking, he should be seated in the row of Wufu.At this moment, Juluhou Zhao Mu's words were intended to make Lian Jin switch to his command.

"If Lian Jin is willing, the old man will not agree."

Wu Shiluo was angry in his heart, but his face was extremely calm, he smiled and said: "Master Hou has the intention of attracting guests from all over the world, even Jin is the leader of Weiguo. Given time, Lord Hou will be the next plain of Zhao Kingdom Jun. Among the four great sons, there should be Lord Hou to live in."

The four princes of the Warring States Period were Lord Mengchang of the State of Qi, Lord Xinling of the State of Wei, Lord Pingyuan of the State of Zhao, and Lord Chunshen of the State of Chu.Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng is the son of King Zhao Wuling.A few years ago, Lord Pingyuan Zhao Sheng passed away.

Today, only Lord Xinling and Lord Chunshen, the four sons, are still alive.

Zhao Mu, Marquis of Julu, wanted to snatch away Wu Shiluo's guests, in order to suppress Wu's prestige.Wu Shiluo was not to be outdone, and tried to push back with words, saying that Zhao Mu was ambitious.

Lian Jin gritted his teeth and secretly scolded Juluhou Zhao Mu for being unkind.Zhao Mu made a sudden attack and asked him to make a choice.If he betrays the Lord, his reputation will be ruined.But if he didn't betray the Lord, he fell into the hands of Zhao Mu again.

If he switches to others in the future...

Who would want a betrayer!
"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your appreciation. How could Lian Jin refuse to follow his orders?"

Lian Jin bowed his hand and joined Zhao Mu's row.

His only choice is to seek refuge with Julu Hou Zhao Mu, and it is impossible not to obey.Originally, his plan was to wait and see from Wuzhiluo and Juluhou Zhao Mu first, and then take refuge in public after the general situation was settled.But at this moment, when he thought about it for a while, he understood.

He is only a swordsman, what qualifications does he have to wait and see the fence.

Following Lian Jin's choice of camp, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell silent, and needles could be heard.Everyone was watching to see how Wu Zhiluo handled the matter.

Lian Jin's defection seems to be a trivial matter, but if Wu Shiluo has no ability to find a place with Juluhou Zhao Mu.Then it means that Wufu is about to decline...

Lian Jin... is a signal sent by Juluhou Zhao Mu and even King Zhao.

Although it is not well-known that Wu Clan favored Qin, one of the hundreds of officials in the court must have heard of it.

"Lian Jin, you must win tonight, otherwise..."

Wu Shiluo sneered.

At this moment, the ceremony bell rang, and everyone took their seats, waiting for King Zhao to enter the hall.

"The king of Yan overestimated his own strength, and took advantage of the weakening of our country's national strength after the Changping battle of our country, and raised troops to attack our country. However, even if our country of Zhao is not as good as Qin's country, it is not comparable to the little Yan's country..."

After Zhao Wang took his seat, he first said, "All the Qings are in peace", and then said: "Our old and weak soldiers of Zhao State can still defeat Yan State. Compete with Qin for supremacy..."

"All my lovers, help Zhao Guo destroy Yan in one fell swoop!"

He picked up the wine glass and shouted.

All the ministers of Zhao Guo cheered together and drank happily.

Yan Guo's stealing chickens will not lose money, but it proves Yan Guo's weakness.This is a great time for Zhao Guo.Even in the first battle of Changping, Zhao Guo's elite will be wiped out.However, Zhao's martial arts is so powerful that other countries except Qin can't compare with it.

"The success of the first battle against Yan is due to the contributions of all the nobles, but if the head of the Wu clan did not provide horses and food for Zhao, the Zhao army would not be able to continue. If Mr. Guo did not provide weapons and ships, It is difficult for me, Zhao Zhirui, to attack..."

Zhao Wang stood up and encouraged Wu Shiluo and Guo Zong.

In the pre-Qin period, due to the juxtaposition of all countries, wealthy merchants appeared frequently.Fan Li and Bai Gui are far away, and Lu Buwei, Widow Qing and others are near.Wu Shiluo and Guo Zong are rich merchants in Zhao State.

The hidden worry in Wu Shiluo's heart gradually disappeared, and he smiled.

As King Zhao named and commended the ministers one by one, the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more enthusiastic.

"What a scheming..."

Bai Gui was secretly startled.

Zhao Xiaocheng and Wang Zhao Dan were not considered wise in the Warring States period, but they all had such scheming.First, Julu Hou Zhao Mu launched an attack on Lian Jin, and then King Zhao reassured Wu Shiluo.Ever since, Wu Shiluo was firmly in the hands of King Zhao.

Wu Shiluo is not a simple person, to be able to make such a fortune, he must be a sophisticated person.

Shaoqing, after Zhao Wang rewarded the officials, he summoned Lian Jin and Xiang Shaolong to the front of the hall, "Lian Jin, your sword skills are famous in all countries, and Xiang Shaolong, you are not bad. Eight hundred horse thieves. Both of you are crowned among men, and you were once the best. Today, the widow invites you two to the palace to compete with swords, because I want to honor the martial spirit of my master..."

King Zhao Wuling abdicated to King Zhao Huiwen, claiming to be the master father.

Lord father means the father of the monarch.

"The swordsmanship of the two of you must be hard to find in the world. I can't wait to be listed as a love minister, but you need to know that soldiers are dangerous. You two must do as much as you can, and remember not to hurt others. The winner, I will be named a swordsman in front of the imperial court." , you can lead the army to conquer Yan State together with Lord Xinping."

Zhao Dan smiled and said.

Lord Xinping is the title of Lian Po.

"I will obey your orders."

Lian Jin and Xiang Shaolong took orders.

But at this moment, Julu Hou Zhao Mu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have a proposal."

"Please tell me, Julu Hou?"

King Zhao was taken aback.

"It's difficult for the two of you to use your strength in swordsmanship. Furthermore, the king named the winner a swordsman in front of the imperial court and let them lead the army. However, arrows have no eyes on the battlefield, so how can you pay attention to etiquette?"

"Now is the time of great controversy, Song Xianggong's set is over."

Julu Hou Zhao Mu stepped forward and said admonishingly.

Song Xianggong's battle of Hongshui followed the Spring and Autumn War of Justice, and he did not attack halfway, but failed miserably.This is also a turning point for the collapse of Spring and Autumn Rituals.

"What Juluhou said makes sense."

King Zhao nodded.

"If there are casualties between the two, the celebration banquet will turn into a funeral, which is not beautiful."

Madam Ya got up and gave some persuasion.

Mrs. Ya is the sister of Zhao Dan and the wife of Zhao Kuo, the son of Mr. Ma Fu.

"Sister Wang, widows have their own discretion."

King Zhao frowned, and waved Zhao Ya back.After Zhao Ya took his seat again, he said: "Julu Hou has won the hearts of the few. If our country, Zhao, does not have a heart of bravery, An Neng will avenge the shame of Chang Ping."

"You two, let's fight to the death."

He made the final call.

Immediately afterwards, he threw the wine cup to the ground, "The way of war is also the way of life and death. The two of you will decide the winner, and whoever will be the swordsman in front of you."

Lian Jin and Xiang Shaolong nodded in agreement.

The two competed in the palace.

One holds a golden light sword and is a well-known sword master in all countries.The other was taught Mohist swordsmanship by the Mohist Yuanzong, and also possessed the strong body of modern people.

clang clang.

The two started a dozen moves, evenly matched, and there was no winner.

"Your Majesty, I have another proposal."

Julu Hou Zhao Mu smiled, "Lian Jin and Xiang Shaolong are young heroes, and they are not married. If the two win, I dare to ask the king to give a marriage to the winner, so as to show my Zhao country's heart of accepting talents... ..."

After all, he fixed his eyes on Wu Tingfang, Wu Shiluo's granddaughter.

Wu Tingfang....One is that she is the most beautiful woman present, and the other is that this is another good opportunity to attack Wu Zhiluo.

On the other side, there are princes and princesses in the palace.

"Your father..."

Zhao Qian squinted at Bai Gui and hummed twice.

She didn't continue talking, for fear of offending Zhao Mu, Zhao Wang's favorite minister.But the implication is obvious, so lustful, it is disgusting.

"Princess Qian's words are wrong..."

Bai Gui also felt quite helpless.Zhao Mu is only in his thirties now, not in his seventies or eighties.Furthermore, Zhao Mu is a lucky minister, not Lian Po, Li Mu and other ministers who were promoted by military merit.Such arrogance is really predictable.

But Zhao Qian humiliated Zhao Mu like this, he couldn't turn a blind eye.

Zhao Mu was humiliated, but he didn't care much.But if you let it go, it will not only ruin Zhao Mu's reputation, but also his reputation.

"Father is dedicated to the country, seeing that the head of the Wu clan doesn't get along with him, so he is kind to each other..."

Bai Gui confuses black and white.

Zhao Qian was taken aback when she heard the words, her beautiful eyes stared at Bai Gui seriously, as if she couldn't believe it.She ridiculed Bai Gui in the past for being a trickster, but now it seems that Bai Gui really has the talents of Su Qin and Zhang Yi.

The competition in the arena continued.

Zhao Wang also agreed to Juluhou Zhao Mu's proposal, thinking that it was a good proposal.Lian Jin is from Wei country, Xiang Shaolong's identity is unknown, presumably he is also from another country.If he bestows a marriage for the winner, it will indeed show Zhao Guo's heart to accept talents...

Suddenly, Xiang Shaolong intentionally sold a loophole, making Lian Jin accidentally miss.His heavy wooden sword accelerated sharply, each sword was faster than the next, under the vertical steps, Lian Jin's exquisite swordsmanship could not withstand the power of Xiang Shaolong's heavy sword.

Lian Jin staggered back, his tiger's mouth burst open, and he was about to be stabbed by Xiang Shaolong, and he was about to die.

Everyone present was surprised and quickly got up, staring at this scene.

However, at the moment when Xiang Shaolong was about to stab Lian Jin in the chest, a black scabbard "collapsed" and hit the ridge of Xiang Shaolong's heavy wooden sword, deflecting his blade.

With the help of this blow, Lian Jin retreated quickly, avoiding a death.

"who is it?"

Xiang Shaolong got angry and asked.

It can be said that he and Lian Jin have a deep blood feud.

Seeing that the revenge was imminent, it was actually stopped.

The guests present in the palace were also shocked.This is a palace sword competition ordered by the king himself, who has the courage to dare to intervene in it.

"My lord, it's me."

Bai Gui stood up, wearing a high crown on his head, and a red curly skirt, he walked slowly into the front of the hall, turned around and bowed his hands to King Zhao, "Lian Jin used to be my master, seeing that my master is about to die, Zhao Li was impatient, so he intervened and asked my king to punish him."

Lian Jin can't die, at least not now.

Lian Jin is Ju Luhou's minion.If Lian Jin died, Julu Hou Zhao Mu would be looked down upon.This is not good for his future plans.

He probably already guessed the opportunity to become a golden immortal.

NCM…….

He's Bi has a mysterious power,

Lian Jin once presented the Heshibi of Wufu to Zhao Mu, Marquis of Julu, as a certificate of honor.And this He's Bi was naturally seen by Bai Gui.He's Bi has an energy that can travel through time and space.

However, wanting to use this He's Bi is inseparable from the luck of humanity in this world.

Besides, he is Zhao Mu's son, so how could he be on Xiang Shaolong's side.People who can't recognize their own butts will never end well.

"It's Li'er, you..."

Seeing that it was Bai Gui, King Zhao's face softened when he was about to get angry. He nodded, "What you said is also reasonable. Lian Jin taught you swordsmanship, and you are eager to save the teacher. It is very unusual for you to do this."

If it was someone else who prevented the two from fighting, he would definitely punish him.But Bai Gui is the son of Zhao Mu, he has always regarded him as his nephew, and what Bai Gui said is also reasonable.

"My lord, my teacher is exhausted, and it is difficult to continue."

"I would like to fight on behalf of my teacher."

Bai Gui cupped his hands again.

"Young Master Li, Xiang Shaolong has already won, so there is no need to fight again."

Wu Shiluo frowned.

He is not willing to have accidents, and it is only reasonable to maintain the fruits of victory.

"I'm not very good at swordsmanship, if I can't win with three moves, it will be considered as Xiang Shaolong's victory. What does Patriarch Wu think?"

Bai Gui smiled, and took a step back in words.

"But it's a battle of life and death?"

Wu Shiluo squinted his eyes and asked a question.

If he could kill Zhao Mu's son, he would agree.As for Zhao Li's tragic death, it was not his fault, it was Zhao Li's overthinking.At best, the blame could be shifted to Xiang Shaolong.
