Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 385 Shortlisted for exemption from examination
Before Zhao Mu arrived in Xixia, Zongzan and Yelu Yanxi had already met.

Although this time Li Qiu Shui went on to choose a consort for Li Qinglu and forced Zhao Mu to marry her. But her son, His Majesty the King of Xixia Kingdom, wanted to go with everyone.

The leader of the Xixia Kingdom wanted to continue the reason for the selection of the prince-in-law and bring together the Liao Kingdom, Tubo, Dali Kingdom, etc., to discuss a plan to jointly resist the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Mu's strength was noticed by everyone in the world.

The leader of the Xixia Kingdom also realized that the Song Dynasty was no longer the weak Song Dynasty, but had truly become the strong Song Dynasty, the great Song Dynasty. This made the Xixia ruler very afraid.

The way to survive the Xixia Kingdom is to compete with the two tigers to gain benefits. In this way, a delicate balance of mutual checks and balances among the three countries can be achieved.

In the past, the Liao Dynasty was strong and the Song Dynasty was weak. Therefore, if the Xixia Kingdom wanted to survive, it had to lean more towards the Song Dynasty.

But now Song is super strong and Liao is vulnerable. This forced Xixia to re-examine its position.

Just before Zhao Mu arrived, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom and Zongzan, Yelu Yanxi had already met. They all agreed with the suggestion of joining forces to attack Song Dynasty.

However, in order for Xixia to turn against the Song Dynasty, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom also put forward a condition, that is, to let Xixia see that several countries can defeat the Song Dynasty together.

Because I saw an acquaintance again. But this acquaintance is not Xiaolei. But Mo Lian, whom we had only met once before. That kind-hearted little palace maid.

When he saw the appearance of this palace maid, Zhao Mu couldn't help being stunned.

Zhao Mu also noticed that his eyes might be a little rude, so he also looked back.

After all, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom does not want to seek death. The relationship between Xixia and the Song Dynasty cannot be said to be very good, but it is not yet time to completely break up. Moreover, Li Qiushui also talked to the Xixia leader about the conditions offered by Zhao Mu. Today, Xixia can advance, attack, retreat or defend, and it is not yet time to make a desperate move.

Helian Tieshu personally led Zhao Mu to his seat, and then a beautiful palace maid stood next to Zhao Mu, pouring wine and serving him.

Seeing Zhao Mu's expression, Mo Lian felt very strange, but he was the prince of the Song Dynasty. She, a little palace maid, did not dare to offend him, so she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Zhao Mu again.

Moreover, Zhao Mu strategized and ate up all the main troops of the South Court of Liao in one fell swoop, captured the King of the South Court of Liao and the forward generals alive, and reversed the relationship between Song and Liao in one fell swoop. It is an honor for oneself to be mocked by such a general who is accustomed to fighting.

And this time the martial arts test is the beginning to see if the masters of Liao and Tubo can be Zhao Mu's opponent together.

At this time, Helian Tieshu, who was in charge of presiding over the martial arts test, stood up and greeted him respectfully: "General Helian Tieshu, I would like to welcome His Royal Highness King Qi of the Song Dynasty to our country. Your Highness, please take a seat!"

Although Zhao Mu's words were full of ridicule, Helian Tieshu didn't care at all. As a warrior and soldier, he admired Zhao Mu's ability to single-handedly defeat the Liao Army's forward battalion.

Zhao Mu also said respectfully and politely: "It's been a long time since we last saw General Helian. When we say goodbye to Tianning Temple, the general becomes even more charming!"

Helian Tieshu looked at the sundial, confirmed the time, and saw that almost everyone who was supposed to arrive was here. As for those people from all walks of life, those people were not important. So he waved his hand to signal his subordinates to close the gates of the outer city of the imperial city.

The first martial arts test of the Prince Consort's Marriage Recruitment Conference officially begins.

Helian Tieshu stood on the school ground and shouted: "Today is the wedding day for Princess Yinchuan of my country. Thanks to the distinguished guests from all over the world, it is a great honor." At this time, Prince Zongzan said impatiently: "General Helian! These polite words There’s no need to say it. This time we’re here to ask for the princess of your country. Let’s keep it short and get to the point!”

Helian Tieshu said with a smile: "Haha, Prince Zongzan is really quick to talk. In this case, I will make a long story short. The prince-in-law recruited by my country must be both civilized and military, so this first competition is a martial arts competition in the ring. However, due to the various countries, Not all princes practice martial arts. For this martial arts test, our Lord has decreed that he can be replaced by his capable ministers and generals."

Hearing this, Zhao Mu couldn't help but smile.

This rule has been changed, and it seems to be specifically aimed at myself.

If these princes went into battle in person, they would probably be beaten to the point of being unable to get up by Zhao Mu. So it was changed to allow the subordinates to go into battle.

At this time, a dissatisfied Jianghu guest asked: "General Helian, are your country's rules unfair? If someone else can replace him, what will happen if this person loses?"

Helian Tieshu heard the words and explained: "This is the case. Each prince can only send one subordinate to the battle. If this subordinate loses, it means that the prince of that country has lost. Besides, the princess of Yinchuan in my country can only recruit a bride. Depending on their civil and military strength, not their family background, these replacements can also be regarded as challengers, so there is no fairness."

Hearing Helian Tieshu's words, the Jianghu guest stopped talking. After all, what he said was true. Wen Wu was the first, and Wu Wu was the second. If he can really outsmart the others, even if his opponent recruits a hundred people to replace him, it will be in vain.

Helian Tieshu continued to add: "This competition involves two people in a team, and the winner will advance to the next competition. The competition is only to test the level of martial arts, not for fighting. I hope you can stop it."

At this time Zongzan clapped his hands, and Jiumozhi jumped onto the ring with a somersault.

As soon as Zhao Mu stood up, Helian Tieshu said: "His Royal Highness King Qi has unparalleled martial arts skills. With Xiongzhouguan, he can defeat three thousand Liao cavalry with one sword. No one would be dissatisfied with this level of strength. According to the general's opinion, King Qi is Your Highness does not need to participate in this first assessment, just go to Qingfeng Pavilion to serve wine."

Zhao Mu chuckled and said: "Haha! Although General Helian's words are reasonable, if I don't take action, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. Besides, I think the two masters of Liao and Tubo seem to have little confidence in my strength. I have doubts." Then Zhao Mu used Lingbo Weistep and reached the stage in a blink of an eye. He put his hands behind his back and said, "I think it's better not to skip this preliminary test."

Zhao Mu put his hands behind his back and looked at Jiumozhi in front of him and Xiao Yuanshan behind Yelu Yanxi. He said: "There are only warriors in the ring, no identities. Can the two of you join forces to face each other, no matter life or death?"

Faced with Zhao Mu's arrogant and arrogant attitude.

Although Xiao Yuanshan hated him deeply and wanted to get rid of him quickly, his years of dormancy had made his mind no longer care about the gains and losses of personal reputation. Therefore, even if Zhao Mu provoked him, he would not be moved.

Although Jiumozhi was standing on the stage, he didn't have much confidence in fighting Zhao Mu alone. Then he looked at Xiao Yuanshan.

Zhao Mu originally wanted to find trouble and kill them directly. When he saw that the fish did not take the bait, he looked around and said: "Princess Yinchuan of Xixia Kingdom, I am determined to win it. There is no need to worry about the others."

Zhao Mu looked at Helian Tieshu and said: "General Helian, if I destroy them all in this first meeting, will there be no need to compete in the subsequent competitions? Xiao Wang will directly take the princess of your country and leave. , isn’t it direct?”

Hearing Zhao Mu's tone of wanting to steal the bride, Helian Tieshu said: "Your Highness King Qi, I'm afraid this is against the rules."

Zhao Mu was about to say something more when he heard a charming voice: "His Royal Highness King Qi is a dragon and a phoenix among people. But this is the big day for my grandson to choose his consort. His Highness King Qi wants to be the best, so why rush At this time? Please invite His Highness Prince Qi to serve you a drink and then take part in the next round of literary examination."
