Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 384 Martial Arts Competition to Recruit a Marriage
Zhao Mu did not hide anything when facing Hu Yanjin. He said: "This is because Princess Yinchuan of Xixia has been mine for a long time. In order to obtain the military deployment plan of Xixia Kingdom, I once lurked in Xixia. This time when I lurked in Xixia , I just did some stealing."

Facing Hu Yanjin's contemptuous eyes, Zhao Mu raised his hands and said: "The conscience of heaven and earth, we are in love with each other. I did not force her. She also said before that if I didn't come to pick her up, she would have sex with others Hero Post, Recruiting a Prince Consort. After I heard about this in Dali Kingdom, I naturally rushed here quickly. But this time, in addition to recruiting relatives, the more important thing was to try to persuade Xixia Kingdom to surrender. Like Dali, it would be a good thing not to go to war if he really becomes our vassal."

Hu Yanjin said: "So that's it."

Zhao Mu thought of something and asked, "By the way! Concubine Li's invitations have been sent to my house. Wan'er is the most jealous. What did she say?"

Hu Yanjin replied: "Well, she didn't say anything. When Concubine Li sent you the invitation, she just said that she admired the hero who could defeat Liao State. Since ancient times, heroes have been matched with beauties. She wants to invite you and Xixia to participate in the election. Concubine. I didn’t say anything else. Moreover, Sister Wan’er got along very well with the other ladies, especially Princess Xiaoqian and Princess Chai, who went to Prince Qi’s Mansion from time to time.”

Zhao Mu let out a long breath and said, "That's good. By the way, have A'Zhu and Mei Lan Zhu Ju gone back?"

Hu Yanjin nodded and said: "They are all back. After finishing helping Murong Fu with her affairs, Sister A'Zhu sent Miss Wang back to Gusu. Before I left Bianjing, she had just come back. Mei Lan, Zhu Ju and Mei Lan Zhu Ju arrived early. When they came back, they brought back a team of people from Lingjiu Palace. Now they have become the maids of the palace, waiting for the opportunity to protect everyone. "

Zhao Mu nodded and said, "Very good. I feel relieved now."

Hu Yanjin reminded at this time: "But there is one thing you have to be careful about. I have been in Lingzhou City for a few days. Our Song family is not the only one invited by Xixia Kingdom. Tubo, Liao Kingdom, and Gaochang Uighurs all sent themselves A delegation came, especially from the Liao Kingdom. The person who came to apply for the army from the Liao Kingdom was called Yelu Yanxi. He seemed to be the eldest son and grandson of the current king of the Liao Kingdom. They brought many gifts, and they also had the chief instructor of the Shan Army. What’s the name of Xiao Yuanshan’s support? He seems to be determined to win the position of consort.”

Zhao Mu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

However, there was another person who aroused Zhao Mu's interest. This person was Xiao Yuanshan, the chief coach of Shushan Army.

Listening to Zhao Mu's laughter, Hu Yanjin asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Judging from the previous battle in Xiongzhou, his eldest brother is still a good fighter. Such talents cannot fall into the hands of the Liao people. Now that Zhao Mu has achieved great success, since Xiao Yuanshan has come to his door, he has no choice but to send him to the west.

The person Zhao Mu laughed at was naturally Yelu Yanxi. This Yelu Yanxi was the future Emperor Tianzuo, the last emperor of the Liao Kingdom.

Because Zhao Mu failed to kill Xiao Yuanshan in time before, he almost made Qiao Feng a Khitan again. As a result, his plan failed.

Zhao Mu smiled and replied: "It's nothing, I just lamented that there is no one in the Liao Kingdom, and they actually sent a straw bag."

In Zhao Mu's eyes, it was not that the Jurchen Barbarians were too strong, but that Emperor Tian Zuo and Song Huizong were too useless.

When the Jurchens were rising, Emperor Tian Zuo made frequent mistakes, causing the Liao Kingdom's hundreds of thousands of troops to be defeated by just a few thousand Jurchens. He and Song Huizong Zhao Ji were like a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes.

Sometimes he had to lament the good luck of the Jurchen tribe. Both times they rose up were because their opponents were too weak.

It was a mistake to keep a man alive who should have died decades ago. Although Shaolin martial arts were just trivial skills in Zhao Mu's eyes, they did flow into the Liao Kingdom, which was also a trouble. And this trouble was brought about by Xiao Yuanshan. This time he had to die.

Zhao Mu came to Xixia to find a bride this time because he also wanted to make a complete end.

Maharaja Jiumozhi is a man of great martial arts. He is the number one master in Tubo, an obstacle to the future and a target that must be removed. Xiao Yuanshan, the coach of Shanshan Army, is even more trouble among troubles. Although his life experience was very pitiful, Zhao Mu had no sympathy. Hatred is not accumulated in a day. The fact that Xiao Yuanshan was besieged by masters from the Central Plains was also the bad karma of the Liao people. This is the consequences he must bear as a Liao man. He is also the target that he must eradicate.

As for those princes like Zongzan and grandsons of the Liao Kingdom, Zhao Mu did not want to do anything too great and embarrass his wife and the Xixia Kingdom. It would be nice to keep these wastes alive.

Zhao Mu stayed in the post house for two days, and it was early morning on the third day. The recruitment of the Xixia Kingdom's Prince Consort has officially begun.

After breakfast, a luxurious carriage came to welcome Zhao Mu personally to the Xixia Palace to run for election.

As for Hu Yanjin, although she wanted to stay a few more days to join in the fun with Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu had already made up his mind and planned to cause a scene. It was always a bit cumbersome to take her with her, so Zhao Mu sent her away first and rode his Chinese blood horse back to the Song Dynasty early.

Soon Zhao Mu arrived at the Xixia palace.

This is not his first time here. Only this time, he came as his own identity.

When Zhao Mu slowly stepped out of the car wearing a pure white python-patterned ceremonial robe, everyone on the school grounds turned to His Highness King Qi of the Song Dynasty.

But Zhao Mu's clothes are not his own. He traveled lightly and simply all the way from Bianjing to the south, so naturally he didn't take his formal clothes with him. This outfit was obtained from Duan Zhengchun, his father-in-law, before leaving Dali.

After all, he came to Xixia Kingdom to select a prince-in-law, so he could not lose the face of the Song Dynasty.

Fortunately, Duan Zhengchun is now the crown prince of Dali Kingdom, and the pattern and style of his clothes are equivalent to those of the princes of the Song Dynasty.

The only difference is the color.

Yelu Yanxi stared at Zhao Mu. He whispered to Xiao Yuanshan beside him: "Master Xiao! I didn't expect that King Qi, who single-handedly annihilated our Daliao forward, is so young!"

Xiao Yuanshan also said with a cold face: "Yes. This boy is not only powerful in martial arts, but also insidious and cunning. His Royal Highness Prince Jin lost his life in his hands, and General Xiao and the King of Nanyuan were captured alive by him. He is a very difficult opponent."

And Prince Zongzan also said to Jiumozhi beside him: "National Master, are you sure you can take him down?"

If it were normal times, Jiumozhi would have been unwilling to admit that he could not beat Zhao Mu even to death. But when he heard that Zhao Mu annihilated the Liao Army's forward battalion alone, he also gained some self-awareness.

Jiumozhi said in embarrassment: "Your Highness, please forgive the young monk for his incompetence. The young monk is not his opponent. If the old hero Xiao over there joins forces with me, there may be some chance of winning."

Zongzan winked at Yelu Yanxi who was standing aside.

Yelu Yanxi nodded understandingly.
