The Rise of the Marquis

Chapter 18
Mu Sheng stared at the man behind Princess Anling closely.

The monarch respected the princess, and respectfully invited her to sit on the top seat, while he sat on the side, but Mu Sheng was very upset, especially when he saw Duyanghou's useless son, he was so shocked that he escaped. Li Sheng's sword!
shouldn't
Li Sheng's swordsmanship can't be said to be the most powerful in the world, because he himself has seen the sword fairy of Yan Kingdom, Hu Yigu, the prefect of Bianjun in the Han Dynasty, and other top masters in the world, but Li Sheng is at least a rare first-class master. Can't you be a mere dude?The opponent should not be able to block it with a single sword. Could it be that there are masters left by Du Yanghou by his side?

So he immediately whispered to the people around him: "Go to the post house to see what's going on."

He thought to himself, wait for time first, and see what happened, why a princess of the Han Dynasty suddenly appeared here.

Smiling, he said, "Many years ago in the Guangling County rebellion of the Han Dynasty, the heavenly army was not good at fighting at first, and there was no progress for more than half a year. Until a royal princess was born, auspiciousness descended from the sky, and red clouds spread all over Chang'an, covering the sky and covering the sun. The Heavenly Army turned from defense to offense, winning consecutive battles and defeating the rebels three times within [-] days, and the Guangling Rebellion was put to rest.

The Son of Heaven, Joy, named the newly born princess as Princess Anling, could it be Your Excellency. "

"You are quite well-informed." The other party said something that I don't know if it was a compliment.

"The matter of the suzerain going to the country is a big event, and we vassals should always look up to them." Mu Sheng anxiously waited for the news from the posthouse, and did not dare to miss a word. He was not so nervous in front of the king.

And it seems that Duyanghou's family seems to have a good relationship with the Han Dynasty, which makes him even more nervous.
At this time, the monarch of the state of Zhao, Mrs. Zhang, also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, as Mu Gong said, the affairs of the heavens and the kingdom are all things that our vassals need to look up to. It is really glorious for the princess to come to our country, but I didn't know in advance. Welcome back, please the princess to make amends."

Although the other party was young, he didn't change his color at all because of their pursuit, but looked around them lightly and said, "It's good that you know that Zhao is a big country in the north, a state of etiquette, not barbarians, Rongdi or the like.

Last year, Yelang Kingdom in Southwest China refused to accept Wang Hua and obeyed the order of the emperor. By the time of Shuangyue Yelang Kingdom ceased to exist, it was merged into Yizhou County.

The year before last, Zhi Shanyu of the Xiongnu killed the border people because he had [-] string-controlling men who disrespected the emperor's order. By the time of Wuyue, his head had been passed to Chang'an and hung under the Xuande Gate to warn the world.They don't know how to deal with the world and understand things like you Zhao Guo. I will tell the emperor all these.

As the suzerain of the state, I have always attached importance to the obedient and courteous vassal state. "

"The princess is right!" The monarch said hastily, clasping his hands.

The princess in front of her was young, but her words were soft and hard. After she finished speaking, Mu Sheng saw that the monarch and some ministers beside him were already quietly wiping off the fine cold sweat from their foreheads.

They all know the two wars that Princess Anling mentioned. Last year, the Han Dynasty conquered Yelang Kingdom and captured their ruler, but they did not kill him. He served as a magistrate.

However, Shan Yu, the Hun of the year before last, was not so lucky. He was sentenced to death by the Han Dynasty, and then he was killed after breaking the city.

After a while, the soldiers he sent came back and whispered in his ear: "Duke Ma Ling, Li Sheng is dead. The soldiers said that the dude has experts around him, and Li Sheng is no match."

As soon as these words came out, Mu Sheng's pupils constricted.

"Let's go see Marquis Duyang." The princess over there demanded.

"This..." Wu Yuanheng hesitated, "Princess, Marquis Duyang is seriously injured and cannot be disturbed."

"I'll see you as soon as I say!" The other party didn't compromise at all, and she raised her hand to stop the king if he wanted to say anything.

So a group of people surrounded the princess of the Han Dynasty and headed for the pavilion on the hillside where the Marquis of Duyang was parked. The second son of the Marquis of Duyang followed the princess all the time, and was protected by the masters of the Han Dynasty outside. Wu Yuanheng cast anxious eyes on him, but he was also furious, what can he do!
There were masters in the opponent's team who could kill Li Sheng, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Soon, they arrived at the pavilion where Du Yanghou was. Surrounded by Du Yanghou's personal soldiers, most of them cried when they saw their young master. They were all huge and long wounds. The doctor applied medicine stones to his wounds and bandaged them, but the significance was no longer significant.

The smell of blood and corruption filled the pavilion, followed by death.

Du Yanghou's eyes were cloudy, his breathing was weak, and his face was pale. His chest was bitten by a fierce tiger, and his abdomen was cut open by sharp claws. The blood couldn't stop at all, and the doctor who served him had already taken away several pots.

However, Du Yanghou's bravery was also very impressive, the tiger that injured him was already dead, which made him and the others gasp, luckily they took medicine, otherwise the beast would not be his opponent.

To Mu Sheng's surprise, Du Yanghou's second son of a dude didn't cry or be frightened in the face of such a horrible scene and such a huge change. He just stepped forward and knelt down in front of the Marquis, seriously After listening to his last words, a quarter of an hour later, Du Yanghou calmly closed his eyes.

Mu Sheng had been relatively calm before, even after hearing that Li Sheng had lost his hand, he was still calm, because Marquis Duyang was dead, and it didn't matter whether his useless son died or not, he had plenty of ways.

But at this moment, looking at the calm young man in front of him who knew the priorities, he suddenly became a little scared. Is this the rumored second son of Duyanghou?In the face of life and death, he was as calm as an old wise man who had experienced great storms, which made Mu Sheng feel a strong sense of uneasiness.

He was thinking about how to kill the young man next in his mind.

Princess Anling turned her head and said to the monarch: "The Marquis of Duyang and his son Wang Jian are important friends of our dynasty. Since the Marquis of Duyang has encountered misfortune, please follow the rules to let his son inherit the title and inherit the territory."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, disrupting all of Mu Sheng's plans in an instant. He looked across and met the eyes of the young master Wu Yuanheng, who also panicked.

Mu Shenglian said: "Princess, the succession of the title is a matter in our country. A big country can supervise the monarch, but it shouldn't act beyond the level." He found a very reasonable reason.

I didn't expect the other party to respond directly, "I don't care about other places, and I respect King Zhao, but there are aliens infesting in the land of Heyang, they are my enemies in the upper court, and they are not opponents in the north. They came to the south.

It is about the safety of the border of our dynasty. The court has decided to intervene in this matter. Duyanghou and his son are our chosen allies. "

"This..." Zhao Wang looked at Mu Sheng, and then at the other party's princess of the Han Dynasty, not knowing how to answer.

Mu Sheng looked at the young master Wu Yuanheng who was looking down at his toes in spite of himself, and his heart also became ruthless. He did all his tricks and never expected such a result, killing people from the Han Dynasty halfway!If he backs down at this time, all his previous efforts will be in vain, and there will be another enemy who threatens him.

So he took half a step forward and threatened in a cold voice: "Princess, your hands are stretched too long!
In any case, our country of Zhao has [-] armies and a thousand generals. Can't we exterminate the aliens for the suzerain Shangbang?Why must it be Duyanghou and his son? The princess should think carefully. "

His words were already very threatening, but Princess Anling took a step forward and said disdainfully, "How about extending your hand? King Zhao dare not talk to me like that, what are you?"
