Competing

Chapter 301 Chapter [-]

At dusk, the Yue Palace.

In the study room, Pu Jun, Gao Yi, and Su An sat around together, all of them seemed depressed.

The king of Yue fell off the cliff with an arrow, and the news of his life and death was too heavy, which made them breathless for a while.

This time they gathered together to discuss a strategy to deal with the immediate crisis.Among the six important ministers of the Yue Kingdom, Su Jiao guarded Fanyi, while Lu Ming and Zhou Da defended Dongou and Minyue in the south.The three of them are now staying in the city of Yue, and they are all anxious at this moment.

Gao Yiqiang calmed himself down and asked, "Bozhou, who is that old gentleman who went to look for the king?"

Su An replied: "The king of Yue never said it clearly, but most likely he is from Qin!"

"People from the Qin Kingdom?" Pu Jun and Gao Yi were both a little surprised, but after hearing Su An's description of the night of the Hongmen Banquet, they understood that there must be some kind of connection between their own King Yue and the forces left over from the Qin Kingdom.As for why Yin Xu never mentioned it, they don't know, and now is not the time to delve into it.

There was a hint of excitement in their hearts. It seemed that the King of Yue still had many secrets, and there were many potential strengths behind the Yue Kingdom.In this way, the road ahead will be much easier, but the top priority must be to search and rescue the King of Yue, otherwise everything will be nothingness...

Pu Jun said: "The most important things now are two things, the first is to search and rescue the king as soon as possible; the second is to stabilize the situation in Yue!"

Su An suppressed the sadness in his heart, and said: "The king was shot by an arrow and fell off the cliff. There is a river under the cliff, and his life is safe. But if he doesn't find medical treatment in time, or the Zhou and Xu families find him first, he may be in danger." ..."

Pu Jun said: "Mr. Zhong Yin has already gone to look for it, and the people I sent will probably arrive soon, and will go into search and rescue as soon as possible..."

At this time, the guards left by Su An hurried back to bring back the latest situation in Kuaiji Mountain. The guards reported: "We detoured under the cliff and searched along the river for nearly ten miles, but we have never seen the king! Mr. Zhong Yin is still there. I am continuing to search, so I will report back to you, and I hope the three adults will give you a solution as soon as possible, the situation in the country of Yue is critical!"

Can't see anyone for ten miles?Gao Yi exclaimed, and hurriedly asked: "Will the rebellion of the Zhou and Xu families take the lead? If so..." Gao Yi didn't dare to think about it anymore, he firmly believed that the matter was not that serious.

The guards shook their heads and said, "It's probably not that big, they are chasing after us, if we find the king first, they will definitely intercept and kill him!"

Pu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This is a good thing. It stands to reason that the guards followed him, and it is impossible to find them after searching for ten miles? So there is only one possibility, the king was probably rescued by someone else!"

"Saved?" Gao Yi hesitated for a moment, but also chose to believe in this point of view, which may also contain their good hope.

Su An asked, "Where is King Yue now?"

Pu Jun murmured: "It must still be in Kuaiji Mountain, we still need to do our best to find it, if the Zhou and Xu families find it first, things will be bad!"

Su An said: "Send an army into the mountain to look for it? Otherwise, Kuaiji Mountain is so big, where can we find it? When will we find it?"

"But if this is the case, the news that the king's life or death is uncertain will be leaked out, the morale of the army and the people will not be stable, and the other princes of the Zhou family will also be ready to move." Gao Yi is not without worry about this.

Pu Jun pondered for a moment, then said: "Let's do this, mobilize the army into the mountains in the name of suppressing bandits, but actually go to find people. Those who are sent must be loyal, or only let the generals and lieutenants who lead the team know the inside story. What do you think if there is no delay?"

After a brief silence, both Gao Yi and Su An nodded, and it was the only way to do this.

Gao Yi said: "Pu Jun, then you can arrange this matter!"

Pu Jun nodded and said: "Besides that, we need to find a way to stabilize the situation in the Yue Kingdom. The King is not here for now, so we must protect the foundation for him!"

On this point, the three people have exactly the same opinion.After the news came, they never questioned Yin Xu's life or death at all, and even had other thoughts because of it, and devoted all their hearts to saving people and stabilizing the situation.

Gao Yidao: "Stable situation is nothing more than internal and external aspects. Internally, it is the Zhou and Xu families. I have dispatched troops to surround the two mansions. As for their lives and deaths, I will make a decision after the King of Yue returns. Hmph, Xu Rong is an old dog." , I am obedient, I am secretly pregnant, I just found someone to contact me today, saying that I want to submit to the king, and I want to offer my daughter to the king. Who knows that he secretly assassinated the king, it is really an unforgivable crime..."

After talking about this matter, Gao Yi gritted his teeth with hatred, and felt uncomfortable being deceived.More importantly, King Yue disappeared because of this, and his life and death were uncertain. Such a fact is too heavy...

"You have to be careful. On the one hand, it is to prevent them from spreading rumors about the death of the king, causing people to panic. On the other hand, this week, the Xu family really can't move lightly for the time being. His family still has many forces in the Yue Kingdom. Before they are cleared up, let them live first, stability is the most important thing." Pu Jun added a few words!

Gao Yi nodded approvingly, and said, "The other thing is the external situation, Xichu and Jiujiang in the north, Dongou and Minyue in the south..."

"Don't worry about the north. Now that the news is blocked, it is impossible for Xiang Yu and Yingbu to get the news soon. After all, such a major matter must be sent to Liuxian and Pengcheng to make a decision. Huan Chu in Wuzhong will never dare to make a claim, so it is the last What needs to be guarded against is Dongou and Minyue..."

Pu Jun analyzed: "The Zhou family was originally related to Dongou Si Yao, and now it is more likely that they will be in trouble after the accident. Therefore, Si Yao may receive the news and send troops to the north."

Su An nodded and said, "Si Yao, Wu Zhu has long coveted my country of Yue. He will definitely take advantage of this great opportunity."

Gao Yi doesn't know much about military affairs, so he doesn't have much to say.Pu Jun said: "Be prepared to fight, and inform Su Jiao, Lu Ming, and Zhou Da of the situation, so that they are ready to guard against the border and stand ready!"

Su An said: "That's all we have to do. We'll turn around and deal with them after the king is rescued!"

Immediately, news of bandits appearing in Kuaiji Mountain spread throughout Shanyin City.King Yin Xu of Yue issued an edict that General Su An led an army into Kuaiji Mountain to suppress the bandits.The important government offices, granaries, houses, and the residences of the four major families in the city were all guarded by troops.Of course, the target is of course the Zhou and Xu families. They are talking about guards, but they are actually under house arrest.

For a while, the atmosphere in Shanyin City suddenly became a little tense, but everything went on in an orderly manner, and the lives of the people were not greatly affected.

Of course, some people smelled something unusual from it, and Fan Kun, Patriarch of the Fan Family in Shanyin, was one of them.He sighed worriedly, and then hurriedly wrote a secret letter. Although the gate of Shanyin City has been blocked, he already has his own unique channel to send the news to the not far north...

In the Xu family's mansion, Xu Rong, the head of the Xu family, had just heard his son Xu Jian finish talking about what happened in Kuaiji Mountain. He never thought that he just asked his daughter to go out to relax, and ended up with such a big trouble.He even provoked Yin Xu, the king of Yue, and both Xu Zhou and his family were implicated in it.

He doesn't want to delve into the specific process and some minutiae. The key is how to deal with the matter?This has become a difficult problem, the most critical point is that King Yue fell off the cliff with an arrow, is he dead or not?
If he did not die and returned to Sanyin alive, the consequences would be disastrous.It can be imagined that Yue Wang Yin Xu must be the wrath of the thunder, and it is certain that he will be killed by Xu's family.The crime of assassinating the king of Yue is a bit shocking, and the disaster is inevitable.

Before that, I was still thinking about how to submit to Yin Xu, and how to bring my daughter Xu Tong into the palace.But now?There was a complete break between the Xu family and the King of Yue, and the deep hatred was inherited. Either you die or I die.And all this is caused by his daughter Xu Tong, it seems that it is God's will, there is no possibility of marriage between Xu Tong and Yin Xu, on the contrary, the blood splattered as soon as they met...

Alas, Xu Rong is a little restless now, is this Yin Xu dead or alive?This is really...

Xu Jian saw what his father was thinking, and said, "Father, the second brother and Zhou Hao have already gone to hunt him down, and we must make Yin Xu stay in Kuaiji Mountain forever!"

Xu Rong raised his head and said, "Are you sure they will succeed?"

Xu Jiandao: "It's about the safety of the family. They will definitely go all out. The Zhou family has already contacted Dongou Siyao. Should we make some preparations? Gao Yi and the others will definitely not let us go when they get the news."

Xu Rong shook his head and said: "Don't worry about Gao Yi, Yin Xu's life or death is uncertain, he dare not make any big moves, unless he wants to cause chaos in the mountains. If Yin Xu can't come back, our situation will be much safer. If we come back Now, our days are coming to an end! As for Si Yao, in short, our Xu family cannot become a vassal of his Zhou family..."

"Then what should we do now?" Xu Jian asked in a low voice.

Xu Rong just made all kinds of orders, just after the arrangements were made, a large number of Vietnamese troops rushed outside the mansion to "guard"...

……

In Shanyin City, undercurrents are surging and tension is endless, but Kuaiji Mountain is peaceful and quiet.The setting sun slowly disappears behind the mountain, the evening wind blows and the leaves rustle...

A gentle and delicate girl came out of the room, frowned slightly, and sighed softly.

An old man who knew the fate came over and asked, "Luluo, how is he?"

The girl named Luluo replied: "The arrowhead has been taken out, but luckily it didn't hurt the vital organs. It's just that the wound was deep, the blood loss was a lot, and it had been soaked in water for a long time. If this person was not physically strong, I'm afraid... now he still can't see it." In a coma, it may take two days to wake up...

"Oh, take good care of him..." The old man was a kind-hearted man, and said, "By the way, do you know his identity?"

Luluo shook her head lightly: "Judging from the luxury of his clothes, he looks like a kid from a rich family, I don't know about the rest..."

As if thinking of something, Luluo hesitated for a moment, blushed slightly, and said hesitantly: "Father, but this man carries a sword..." As she spoke, she raised Yin Xu's sword, and the two seal characters of "Duan Shui" were very obvious... …

The old man's heart was shaken. After rubbing his eyes, he took the cut-off water in disbelief, held it up and looked at it carefully several times, and murmured: "That's right, it's cut-off water... Luluo, it's really cut-off water..."

Luluo knew the meaning of the "cut off water" sword, and stood there for a while without saying a word.

But the old man said excitedly: "It seems that God's will is in the dark, Lu Luo, I didn't expect you to meet Duan Shui and its owner... Show me your 'Cheng Ying'..."

Luluo reluctantly took down a long sword from the table in the room, put the long sword into its sheath, and flashed like a light and shadow in the black clothes.The light and shadow swayed, and a wooden post in front of the door was cut off by a sword. The section of the cut was smooth and flat, without the slightest stagnation... This is enough to show the sharpness of the sword.That ray of light flickered gently, looking extremely elegant and beautiful.

The old man picked it up to a suitable light angle, and two words appeared on the blade - Chengying!Here is the magical weapon among the top ten famous swords, known as the shadow bearing sword among elegance!
The old man held the two swords in his hands, compared them and said: "Chengying/Buanshui, a match made in heaven, really deserves its reputation... Luluo, it can be seen that the legend of the sword is true, and today you can see Duanshui and its owner, which is also a good fortune." As a result..."

Luluo seemed to disagree, and said, "Daddy, it's just a legend, how can it be taken seriously. I saw you today, it's purely by chance..."

The old man shook his head and smiled: "Hey, the story of Min Xing and Lin Feng has been rumored for hundreds of years. It is true, so this cannot be denied. As for this coincidence... It can be seen that it is fate, why is this person Will there be a water cut off? Why did you faint by the river? Why did you get up when you were caught again...It is clear that the heavens arranged for you to meet, so the opportunity is hard-won, Luluo must cherish it..."

Luluo knew the meaning of the water-breaking sword to her, and also understood the meaning of her father's words, but there was a little disagreement, or it could be understood as a woman's reserve.I just heard her say: "Daddy, you think too much... I said it was just a chance encounter..."

The old man smiled disapprovingly: "Silly girl, I just saw this young man, with handsome features... He is tall and mighty, and he is a good match for you, Luluo."

Lu Luo's pretty face suddenly turned red, she shook her head and said, "Daddy, what are you talking about?"

When the point was over, the old man didn't go any further, and ordered: "Okay, take good care of him..."

The words revealed some deep meaning again, put down the two long swords, turned around and left, muttering to himself on the way: "I hope the legend can be fulfilled, Luluo should have a good home..."

At the door of the room, Lu Luo looked at the two juxtaposed swords on the table, and looked at the unconscious young man on the couch, and felt a strange feeling in her heart.Her eyes fell on the young man's handsome face for a long time, she was lost in thought...

The mountain wind in late spring blows the girl's heart, no one knows what this gentle and charming Yue girl is thinking?
