Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 419 Akita Hunting ([-])

It was only ten days away from the hunt in Akita, and Li Wenxuan didn't dare to be negligent. After all, the masked man was very skillful that night, and Li Wenxuan was not sure of winning. Li Wenxuan didn't really mind the outcome of the contest, but only in Akita Winning or losing in hunting is small, but I'm really afraid that Wan Yanchang will take the opportunity to make trouble as Wan Yanheng said.

Although Li Wenxuan is not yet of the same mind as the Marshal's Mansion of Jin Wushu at this time, but the matter is related to Tie Ling'er, plus the matter of Luzhou Ferry, Li Wenxuan can't let it go.Besides, after getting along with everyone in the commander-in-chief's mansion these few days, except for Longji who always hated Li Wenxuan because of the Mingzhu matter, the others got along very harmoniously, and Jin people are so generous, there are not many complicated things The etiquette and politeness, Li Wenxuan felt quite warm in his heart when he made friends with them, and he already regarded them as friends, so after all kinds of reasons, Li Wenxuan was unwilling to see Wan Yanchang show off at the hunting in Akita to show off to Jin Wushu. pressure.

For several days, Li Wenxuan was unable to see Mingzhu again. Sometimes when Li Wenxuan went to look for Tie Ling'er, he would sneak a glance at Mingzhu's room intentionally or unintentionally, but Mingzhu didn't seem to be in the house all the time. At first Li Wenxuan was happy and quiet, But after three days, I felt a little empty in my heart. I wanted to ask Tie Ling'er, but I was too shy to ask, afraid of being laughed at by her, so I said it a few times on the sidelines, but Tie Ling'er didn't seem to hear it.Li Wenxuan thought about it, because this is actually a good thing, after all, he still has to go back to find Yue Ying, whether it is for others' good or for his own good, it is more appropriate to go far away from Mingzhu .

Seeing that it was only two days before the hunt in Akita, and this day Chayue said that he would give Li Wenxuan a good mount, Li Wenxuan suddenly remembered that the black horse that He stabbed sent him was still in the inn, so he hurried out of the commander's mansion and ran to The inn, the innkeeper was both happy and disappointed when he saw Li Wenxuan.

It turned out that the black horse was too staunch. Since Li Wenxuan left, the black horse has become crazy, kicking people when seeing people, and kicking horses when encountering horses. He had no choice but to tie it to the side, and even the shop assistants had to be careful when loading fodder, otherwise the dark horse would turn violent and hurt people.

The most important thing is more than that. Whether it is day or night, the black horse neighs all the time, as if crying. The noisy guests complain constantly, and even the neighbors can't stand it. If you dare to know it, you will think it is a ghost crying at night. no.Now that Li Wenxuan was back, even though the dark horse didn't spend much time with Li Wenxuan, he was very psychic and immediately stopped making noise.However, the shopkeeper has already seen that this dark horse is an extraordinary product. He had hoped that if Li Wenxuan did not come back, he would sell the dark horse to a rich family for a good price. Now that the one-month period is coming, Li Wenxuan suddenly Appeared, but everything was ruined.

Li Wenxuan was very sorry to hear the shopkeeper's complaints. He didn't expect the black horse to be so violent, so he immediately added another ten taels of silver to the shopkeeper. The black horse was tied to the stables of the Marshal's Mansion, which is strange to say, the black horse never made a fuss when it arrived at the Marshal's Mansion, but the other horses in the stables were faintly afraid when they saw the black horse, but Li Wenxuan was not very care.

The time for hunting in the autumn field has come, the wind is strong, the goshawks are soaring in the clouds, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin’s luanjia leaves the city against the rustling autumn wind, and goes straight to the royal hunting ground one hundred and eighty miles southwest of Shangjing. Those who can get on the horses are accompanied by all, and there is a team of ten thousand people to share the left and right guards.

Under Jin Wushu's tent, Agui Atu and Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry and other masters and generals all accompanied him. Followed not far or near, Li Wenxuan is a Han, even though he is also wearing a leather jacket and fur hat at this time, but at a glance, the facial features are obviously slightly different from the golden man's appearance, so Li Wenxuan has been chasing the moon and others along the way Behind him, he seldom showed his face, plus Li Wenxuan was of no rank and rank, mixed among this group of well-dressed uncles, who didn't know it would seem that Li Wenxuan would be regarded as a servant accompanying them in all likelihood, who would have thought that in fact Is it a master of swordsmanship?

Li Wenxuan has traveled more than 30 miles out of the city with the brigade, but Mingzhu has never shown up. He feels strange. All people are either rich or noble, and there are indeed many masters among them. Coupled with the support of the royal family, it is much more grand than the martial arts conference in the Central Plains. Li Wenxuan always felt that it was too unreasonable for the Pearl not to appear. When he disappeared, Li Wenxuan asked Chasing Moon in a low voice: "Brother Chasing Moon, why didn't you see Miss Mingzhu? Would she miss such a scene today?"

Chasing the moon smiled secretly, and Li Wenxuan who smiled was very uncomfortable, as if Chasing the moon had seen through something in his mind, Chasing the moon said: "Mingzhu is naturally here, but she has important people to guard, and the responsibility is heavy. So you can't come with us."

"An important person?" Li Wenxuan asked, "Could it be my sister Ling'er? Isn't she training in the mansion?"

Without waiting for Zhuiyue to answer, Longqiang hurried forward, walked side by side with the two of them, and sighed: "It would be great if it were to protect the young lady, but Mingzhu's escort this time is a big trouble!"

Li Wenxuan saw Longqiang's expression was unhappy, thinking that the trouble he was talking about should not be simple, and he couldn't guess who it was, even though he was curious, but Longqiang didn't explain it clearly, so Li Wenxuan couldn't ask more questions, but in his heart He was slightly relieved, and then wondered who would get the sixth place to participate in the competition, and put Mingzhu to the back of his mind for the time being.

Arriving at the Royal Hunting Ground, the first half of the day was spent hunting. There were the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, the generals and princes, and young heroes from all walks of life. They all showed their abilities and wanted to be the first in this hunting. The prey they hunted Those who got more gold and silver got less last time, and it was a great honor to show their face in front of the emperor.

However, after half a day of hunting, those who can really get the rewards are all the royal children, such as Agui and Longqiang, who want to hunt lions and tigers is a piece of cake, but no one is willing to show their abilities here After all, the visitors are all important figures in the Kingdom of Jin, so it is not a good idea to offend anyone, so I simply ask him to have a good time, anyway, there will be a golden sword test to show his skills in the future.

Everyone outside was hunting and lively, but Li Wenxuan was happy and quiet, sitting in the tent and meditating, as if the hunting horns outside had nothing to do with him, and before Wan Yanheng heard Li Wenxuan confess that his arrow skills were extremely poor, he also He had already greeted Li Wenxuan without anyone else, so as not to ruin his brother-in-law's reputation on the hunting ground.

The highlight of this Akita hunt, which is the golden knife test, only started in the afternoon. The guards carved out a field of tens of acres, separated by a fence in the middle, and used it as a competition field. One venue counts as arbitration.

There is still a period of time before the official start of the golden knife test. Li Wenxuan is not interested in others, and just wants to compete with the masked man that night. Chasing the moon seems to have known Li Wenxuan's mind for a long time, and dragged Li Wenxuan to a He pointed to a seat on the opposite side and said, "Brother Li, look, that's Wan Yanchang."

Li Wenxuan looked along the direction of Chasing the Moon, and saw a big-bellied nobleman from the Kingdom of Jin closing his eyes. Li Wenxuan originally thought that Wan Yanchang would be similar to Jin Wushu, but he didn't expect that after seeing it, he was quite surprised. Disappointed, not feeling the slightest pride.Li Wenxuan's eyes just swept across Wan Yanchang's face, and then fell on a Taoist priest behind him.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but when Li Wenxuan was looking at the Taoist priest, the Taoist turned his head and happened to be looking at Li Wenxuan too, neither of them wanted to avoid the other, they just stared at each other for a while , the Taoist priest raised his mouth, cupped his hands at Li Wenxuan from a distance, then lowered his head and whispered a few words in Wan Yanchang's ear. He didn't know what he said, but Wan Yanchang just nodded slightly.

Li Wenxuan turned to Chayue and said, "The Taoist priest who spoke in Wan Yanchang's ear must be the masked assassin that night, right?"

Chasing Moon said: "Good eyesight! That's right, it was him. The assassin in the mansion that night should also be him. The origin of this man is very mysterious. Our brothers have been investigating him for a long time, but we have not been able to find out his origin. We only know that his name is Dao name is Juechen, and I don’t know anything else.”

Seeing Juechen from a distance, Li Wenxuan began to look at the other people among them. Looking at the past, there are many warriors among them, but there are not many real martial arts masters. Atu and Agui under the tent should be invincible in this golden sword test.

After three cannon shots, the Golden Sword Trial finally officially began, and everyone naturally wanted to bow down to the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin. Although Li Wenxuan was reluctant, he could stiffen his neck on such an occasion, so he could only kowtow while secretly cursing the emperor. .

At the end of the ceremony, the ceremony official stepped forward and explained the rules of the Golden Sword Test. Li Wenxuan had already learned about these from Wan Yanheng, but it was 64 to 32, 32 to 16, and finally [-] out of [-]. For those who are strong, this is the competition on the first day. On the second day, these eight people will continue to compete to select the winner. There is no chance to fight again, the ceremonial officer made a big deal, those who are confident are gearing up, wishing to show their glory earlier, those who are not confident are sweating coldly, not seeking victory, just hoping that they will not be defeated by the emperor. It's good to lose face in front of civil and military officials.

Afterwards, the ceremonial officer announced the order of the first day's duel on the list. Li Wenxuan didn't know the characters of the Kingdom of Jin, so Feiyun came to explain to Li Wenxuan one by one. After reading it, Feiyun immediately clapped his hands and laughed. Li Wenxuan encountered no tough opponents in the two competitions, and Fei Yun simply said: "Brother Wenxuan is so lucky, the one who confronts you in the first match, I am afraid that he will lose if he can't pass ten moves under your hands. "

Li Wenxuan smiled slightly and asked, "What about the second scene?"

Fei Yun said: "I don't know about this yet, but both of your neighbors' kung fu are mediocre, no matter which of them can stand up to the second round to fight you, it is not a threat."

As Feiyun said, he continued to look down the list, and suddenly shouted: "Not good!"

Li Wenxuan asked: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Fei Yun let out a long sigh, and said: "It's a pity...it's a pity..." Then he pointed to a name and said: "This is Atu, he should be able to win the first two games relatively easily. I'm going to run into you in three games, alas."

Li Wenxuan knew in his heart that among the people sent by Jin Wushu this time, Atu's cultivation level was slightly inferior to that of Agui, but he was obviously one level higher than Chayue and the others. Whoever fights is heartbreaking.

Both of them sighed again and again, dissipating [-]% to [-]% of the previous joy. Feiyun continued to take Li Wenxuan to look at the list. All the masters among them explained to Li Wenxuan one by one, even though Feiyun felt that Li Wenxuan should be fine with them. Next, but still be careful everywhere, Li Wenxuan listened patiently.

When he saw the last list of names, Feiyun let out a "huh" and said, "It turns out that our sixth person is her!"

Li Wenxuan had also been curious about this person for a long time, and hurriedly asked, "Who the hell is it?"

Chasing the moon turned around and turned to the direction where the emperor was, and nuzzled, and saw the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin sitting behind the curtain, unable to see his face clearly, and there was a slightly smaller place for others, which was also hung with a bead curtain, and the person sitting in it was Li Wenxuan I have heard the etiquette officer say it a long time ago, so why is the princess, and in front of that car stands a silver armored female general with a black veil on her face, holding a sword in one hand, standing on a high platform, it can be said to be majestic, it is impressive. Pearl.

Li Wenxuan had secretly searched for Mingzhu for a long time before, but he never found her. He did not expect Mingzhu to be there, and asked, "This...this is...how can Mingzhu be there?"

Feiyun whispered: "Behind the bead curtain is the emperor's own sister, Princess Yilan. A few days ago, the commander received an imperial decree that the emperor hand-picked Mingzhu to be Princess Yilan's guard during the two days of the golden knife test. It's nothing, but I never expected that Mingzhu would also participate in this golden sword test."

Li Wenxuan thought to himself: "Among the 64 people, Mingzhu is the only woman. With Mingzhu's skills, ordinary generals can't get any benefit from her, and it's not clear whether Zhu can kill the top four." , or the top eight, but as long as Mingzhu can win one or two games, as a woman, she will probably overwhelm many people, and then Jin Wushu will naturally have a bright face." Thinking of this, Li Wenxuan chuckled and didn't say much.

Li Wenxuan had just finished reading the list, and there was already the sound of weapons clashing in the arena, and it was obvious that he had already started. There were four competitions going on at the same time, and the only acquaintance in the first round was Dragon Spear. Li Wenxuan's competition was arranged at In the second round, he went with everyone to support the Dragon Spear. Because of his status, Wan Yanheng couldn't join them in yelling outside the arena, so he had to sit firmly next to Jin Wushu, but he was a young man after all. , but couldn't help stretching his neck, wanting to see clearly.

When everyone just walked to the edge of the arena where Longqiang was, they heard a bang, and a big man fell out of the arena. The onlookers were quite surprised. They didn't expect Longqiang to strike so fast. Gun clasped his fists at the big man and said, "General Gulan, you've offended me!"

Because only five moves were used before and after, the battle of Dragon Spear ended too quickly, and everyone was a little bit annoyed that they couldn't see it after exclaiming in amazement. After all, it is also a good thing that Marshal's Mansion can get off to a good start.

It didn't take much effort. After the first round of four matches, four of them advanced, and four of them lost. It was nothing. After taking it off, if it wasn't for the soft armor under his clothes, he would definitely not be able to keep his arm. Even so, the wound was still deep enough to see the bone, and everyone looked at it with sigh.But the Jinren were always tough, and there was no rule against hurting others during the competition. Friends and colleagues who had a good relationship with the injured were all angry, but they had no choice.Later, Li Wenxuan learned from Feicheng that it turned out that the two people's immediate superiors had always been at odds with each other, so he used the competition to severely injure each other, and at the same time, it was also a blow to the opponent's arrogance.

Another round of cannons rang out, and Li Wenxuan entered the arena, facing a yellow-faced general. Fei Yun had already told Li Wenxuan the name of that general, calling him Zhaheye.

According to the martial arts rules, Li Wenxuan clasped his fists and said: "I, Li Wenxuan, have met General Zhaheye, please be merciful to General Zhaheye later!"

Zha He was wild and careless. He didn't even look at the list after it came out. He only waited for someone to call him before he came on stage carelessly. He was planning to greet Li Wenxuan with fists, but seeing Li Wenxuan's appearance, he was obviously a Han. , I feel a little unhappy now, the Jin people have always looked down on the Han people, and Zaheye, as a general, looked down on the Han people even more, so he withdrew his hand, behind the hot and cold, he glanced at Li Wenxuan with a bit of contempt , but when he heard Li Wenxuan's self-reported family name, he felt a chill in his heart. He had heard of Li Wenxuan's name before, but he didn't expect that he was facing such a tough opponent. After he settled down for a while, he said coldly: "Jiu Yang Daming, Your Excellency was so majestic in the city of Chuzhou that day!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Wenxuan knew that the visitor was not good, so he didn't talk to him too much, and with a horizontal sword, he said: "General, please make a move!"

Zaheye used Guan Dao, spat on his hand, rubbed it skillfully, and then took Guan Dao's turn to slash at Li Wenxuan.

Li Wenxuan frowned secretly just looking at his attack, Zhaheye's strength is fierce, he can be regarded as a strong man, but the weapon he used was fighting on the battlefield, and it might be able to decapitate ten people's heads with one swing , but it is too wide open and closed, changing moves and withdrawing moves is very inconvenient, and it is not usable in melee combat at all, but with one step and one movement of the knife in Zhaheye, Li Wenxuan saw seven or eight deadly scars exposed all over his body. Flaws, if Li Wenxuan wants to take his middle palace with a sword at this time, it will be a piece of cake.
