Chapter 204 We are devoted to the Crown Prince, why not ask for a tassel to bind the blue dragon!
This dragon and horse riding the mist and clouds have the ability to travel thousands of miles in a day.
Although the journey from Longmen County to Chang'an is long, it won't take long with the strength of Longjuma's legs.
Therefore, in less than half a day, Xue Dingshan, his mother, and his younger sister arrived in Chang'an.
It was Xue Dingshan's first time coming to Chang'an. He walked along the magnificent and tall city wall and looked at the bustling streets and the bustling traffic. He couldn't help but lose his mind.
"Mom, where are we going next?"
Xue Jinliansheng's beauty is bright and moving. In addition, at the age of hairpin, she has a graceful figure, which naturally attracts many people passing by to glance at her.
Xue Jinlian felt a little uncomfortable, frowned, and leaned next to her mother Liu Jinhua, asking softly.
"Your father is the royal brother given by the emperor, and your mother is also a first-class lady. Now that you have come to Chang'an, you will naturally go to the palace."
Liu Jinhua said.
After saying that, he led Xue Dingshan and Xue Jinlian to the palace.
……
When Liu Jinhua arrived at the palace, no one dared to stop her as soon as she revealed her identity.
When some ministers learned that the wife of King Yizi Bingjian had arrived in Chang'an, they did not dare to neglect and went to greet her personally.
He also ordered the internal guards to go to the East Palace and report to His Highness.
……
It is said that after His Highness sent Mr. Shen Ke and others out, he sent someone to draw up the list and ordered them to post it everywhere.
Just as I returned to the palace, ready to take a nap, unexpectedly, another guard came into the palace to report:
"Your Majesty, the wife and family of King Yizijing have come to Chang'an!"
Hearing this, His Highness was startled and his eyes were a little confused:
"Huh? Marshal Xue's wife and daughter are not living happily in Jiangzhou, so how come they came to Chang'an?"
Then he thought about it, he had only learned less than half a day that Marshal Xue and his father were currently trapped in Suoyang City.
It makes no sense for Marshal Xue’s wife and family to know about this earlier than he did.
But at this opportunity, his wife and family came to Chang'an, which is probably not a coincidence.
While thinking, His Highness opened his mouth and gave instructions:
"Bring people here!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
The guard immediately replied.
After saying that, he left.
Without even half a stick of incense, the three of them, Xue Dingshan, led by a chamberlain, walked through the green tiles and red gates and arrived at the East Palace.
"Meet His Highness!"
As soon as he arrived in front of the hall, Liu Jinhua took the lead in greeting His Highness.
Not long after, Xue Dingshan and Xue Jinlian also bowed.
"Mrs. Xue, there is no need to be polite to me."
"Please sit down!"
His Highness smiled slightly and extended his hand to indicate.
While talking, he also looked towards Xue Dingshan and Xue Jinlian.
Although Xue Jinlian has the appearance of a flower shy of the moon, His Highness has been growing up in the palace since he was a child. He has never seen anything as beautiful as a flower, so he only glanced at it.
On the other hand, the handsome and handsome young man next to him made His Highness confused.
He couldn't help but ask Liu Jinhua:
"Mrs. Liu, I heard that you and Marshal Xue have only one daughter. I wonder who this son is?"
"To be honest, Your Highness, he is my son Dingshan."
Liu Jinhua replied.
As soon as these words came out, His Highness's face changed slightly and he was surprised:
"What?!"
"Is he the son of the King of Yizijianjian?"
"How come I have never heard of Marshal Xue having an heir before?"
"Your Highness, I was a poor Taoist who suffered a disaster when he was young. Fortunately, he was rescued by an immortal master and recovered his life. Since then, he has been studying Taoism in the mountains and has never returned home. Naturally, he cannot recognize him."
Without waiting for Liu Jinhua's reply, Xue Dingshan replied to His Highness, neither humble nor arrogant.
"So it's like this..."
His Highness suddenly understood and roughly understood.
His expression paused and he asked:
"I just don't know why Madam Liu, Prince Xue and others are in Chang'an now?"
"This..."
After saying this, Liu Jinhua looked at Xue Dingshan, with a hint of solicitation in her eyes.
Marshal Xue and Emperor Tang were besieged by Su Baotong's army in Suoyang City. Liu Jinhua was not sure whether His Highness knew about this?
If you speak hastily, it will be a major matter that disturbs the people's hearts and shakes the foundation of the country.
She is a womanly person, so she is still a little hesitant at this moment.
Xue Dingshan on the side seemed to understand why Liu Jinhua hesitated, but it was a foregone conclusion that his father and His Majesty were trapped in Suoyang City.
The later you rush to Suoyang City to rescue the driver, the more dangerous it will be.
Xue Dingshan didn't want to think about the twists and turns and said bluntly:
"Your Highness, I don't know. This poor Taoist came to Chang'an this time because he was enlightened by Master. He said that my father and Your Majesty were trapped in Suoyang City, so he ordered me to go down the mountain and go to Xiliang to protect my father."
When His Highness heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at Xue Dingshan and the others in disbelief.
After a while, he calmed down and said:
"Prince Xue, your master must be a highly qualified person..."
"Half a day ago, Mr. Shenke came to the East Palace and said that he got the Dongxiao. Celestial Master Guangji had just had a whim and learned that my father, Marshal Xue and others were trapped in Suoyang City. He asked me to deploy troops and horses, and ordered the commander to send generals.
Send the first and second troops to Suoyang City to rescue him."
Xue Dingshan, Liu Jinhua, and Xue Jinlian looked at each other with shock on their faces.
Unexpectedly, His Highness the Crown Prince knew about this.
"Your Highness, that Dongxiao Guangji Celestial Master is known to everyone in the small world, and my master respects him quite a lot."
Speaking of this, Xue Dingshan said thoughtfully.
"Now, I have posted a list and set up an arena to compete for the first and second marshals."
"Prince Xue is the son of Marshal Xue, so you must go to this arena!"
"If you can stand out from the crowd and come out on top, I will personally award you with the seal of commander. At that time, Marshal Xue and his son will both be our Marshals of the Tang Dynasty. It will be a good story."
His Highness continued.
After speaking, he advised Xue Dingshan.
He thought that Xue Dingshan, who had studied Taoism with that master for many years, must have some extraordinary abilities.
Now that we have arrived in Chang'an, how can we miss this?
"You don't need His Highness to persuade you, Xiaodao will also participate in the ring."
Xue Dingshan responded without thinking.
"Okay!"
"When the time comes, I will definitely see it in person at the school grounds!"
His Highness smiled when he heard it and chatted happily.
The three of them, Xue Dingshan, lingered in the East Palace for a while. Not long after, His Highness sent someone to arrange a place for them to stay.
……
……
Chang'an, Hanfu.
After Han Xiangzi arrived at his residence, he talked with Han Yu about what he had seen and heard in heaven.
After all, he is still in danger.
That is to transform Han Yu into an immortal.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Knowing that Han Xiangzi spent these seventeen years in heaven, Han Yu also clicked his tongue and sighed with emotion.
After talking about this, Han Yu asked Han Xiangzi, how is the war situation between Datang and Hami?
Although he is a civil servant and cannot fight on the battlefield, he still cares about his family and country.
"Uncle, the current war situation is not good for the Tang Dynasty."
"Today, you and Marshal Xue have been besieged Suoyang City by a million-strong army of Soviet thieves. They are at the end of their rope and are running out of ammunition and food!"
Han Xiangzi didn't hide anything, he told the truth.
After finishing his words, Han Yu looked worried and said:
"I didn't expect that these thieves were so powerful. Even Marshal Xue fell into this urn. The emperor was trapped. If the government and the public heard about it, there would be chaos. I don't know what to do?"
"Xiangzi, my uncle knows that you are a master of magic, capable of making wind and rain, and turning rivers and seas upside down. I wonder if you can go to Suoyang City and rescue His Majesty and Marshal Xue?"
Han Yu was silent for a while, then suddenly he asked Han Xiangzi for help.
"Uncle, the Emperor and Marshal Xue are destined to suffer this disaster!"
"Withered trees can still spring into life, and peaks can still turn around. How can there be no way to survive in this dead situation?"
Han Xiangzi looked calm and composed.
Han Yu could understand these Zen words.
Knowing that His Majesty and Marshal Xue could turn danger into disaster, he said no more.
"Report!"
"Sir, His Highness is sending people everywhere to post notices, saying that he will set up an arena to compete and win the championship, to determine the candidate for the second marshal!"
Suddenly.
A servant hurriedly entered the door and came to the front of the hall to report to Han Yu.
"I know, you go down first."
Hearing this, Han Yu looked at Han Xiangzi thoughtfully, smiled comfortably, and waved his hand.
……
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
The day of competition in the ring and the selection of the first and second marshals has arrived as promised.
This day.
On the school grounds outside the palace, His Highness sat on a high throne, surrounded by civil and military ministers on his left and right.
In the middle of the school grounds, there is an arena.
This arena is quite large, about ten feet long and wide.
Not far away, there is a drum with a tiger head and cowhide.
There were roughly hundreds of people standing below the ring.
Looking at them one by one, some are powerful, some have gleaming eyes, some have big arms and round waists, some are ten feet tall, and they are imposing...
When Si hour came, there were soldiers beating drums and gongs with mallets and chanting.
Soon, people jumped onto the ring from time to time and competed with others.
But the people who participate in the ring are really mixed.
Some people seemed to have good martial arts skills, but were subdued by one move.
There are also people who are extremely weak but win eight games in a row.
When time came to Shenshi, there were hundreds of people, but now there are only a few dozen left.
Many of them are sons of generals.
For example, Yin Shishou, the son of Yin Kaishan, the Duke of Xun; Qu Tuyuan, the son of Qu Tutong, the Duke of Jiang; Liu Yifu, the son of Liu Hongji, the Duke of Kui, etc.
Not to mention, there are also Cheng Qianzhong, the thousand-year-old Cheng Lao, Luo Zhang, the son of Luo Tong, Qin Ying, the son of Qin Huaiyu, and others.
These people are all good soldiers in the military.
Although he is not very old, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He has strong martial arts skills and has the talent of a general!
"Brother Gu, you have defended for three consecutive games, it's time to go down."
Not long after, a burst of laughter came out.
Everyone looked for a voice and saw a young man wearing armor and holding two guns, suddenly jumped onto the ring and said.
"Brother Qu, how can we recognize this handsome man!"
"Since you're here, take a beating from me!"
At that time, Gu Ming, who was on the stage, frowned slightly and shouted loudly.
He held a sledgehammer and attacked Qutu from afar.
However, after the two of them fought ten moves, Qu Tuyuan turned his guns around, leaned down like a loach, quickly slid behind him, and then kicked out, directly kicking Gu Ming off the ring.
"Brother Gu admitted it."
Qu Tuyuan put away his guns and cupped his fists.
"My skills are inferior to others."
Gu Ming shook his head and said helplessly.
Immediately, there was no sign of despair on his face, but instead he smiled playfully:
"After these great princes, I will go up first, and I will probably be kicked down soon!"
"That's not necessarily the case!"
"I may not be able to defeat Brother Qin and Brother Luo, but the others can still suppress them!"
Qu Tuyuan laughed and said.
"Brother Qu, you are talking big words again."
"Brother Gu, watch me cut it off with one blow!"
As soon as Qu Tuyuan finished speaking, another figure suddenly rushed onto the ring.
This person, dressed in smart clothes and full of righteousness, is actually a boy of 17 or 18 years old.
"It turns out to be Brother Liu!"
Qu Tuyuan saw this person and said:
This young man is none other than Liu Yifu.
"Don't make friends. We can call each other brothers when we drink. When it comes to competing for the leadership position, everyone can rely on their own abilities."
"Be careful!"
Liu Yifu's tone was cold, and then he raised his sword and attacked.
This Liu Yifu's long sword opens and closes widely, and the long sword slashes like a surging river, making it difficult for people to guard against.
In addition, Liu Yifu is very good at legs and feet.
He exchanged more than a hundred moves with Liu Yifu, and when he found a flaw, he swung his sword towards his lower body.
Qu Tuyuan immediately threw his spears, trying to repel the long sword.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yifu suddenly jumped into the air and kicked him out!
All of a sudden, he was lying on his back and fell down in the audience.
"I..."
Qu Tuyuan was extremely angry, his face was ashen, and he felt that this way of defeat was too embarrassing.
In the end, Gu Ming came over, helped him up, and said sarcastically:
"Brother, I only thought you could hold on to the ring, but I didn't expect that you couldn't hold on in the second game."
Not far away, Luo Zhang and others couldn't help laughing when they saw this.
Qu Tuyuan was talking nonsense in front of everyone before, but in an instant, he was knocked down from the stage!
The other side.
His Highness and other civil and military officials saw these generals and disciples competing in the ring. After watching them, they also commented a lot.
To be fair, Qu Tuyuan's martial arts skills are not as good as those of Liu Yifu, but he lacks strategy.
After Liu Yifu took over the ring instead of Qu Tuyuan, he won five or six more games in succession.
But Yin Shishou saw the opportunity and jumped onto the ring while he was exhausted.
After sixty rounds between the two, Yin Shishou flicked the copper rod with all his strength and knocked out Liu Yifu.
Liu Yifu thought to himself that he was exhausted, so he got off the stage.
Lost to Yin Shishou.
Master Yin Shou was accustomed to using a long boring machine, and one boring machine could produce a force of a hundred jun.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Enough to crack rocks!
If an ordinary person received this blow, his internal organs would be shattered and he would die.
As soon as Master Yin came up, he defended eight games at once.
In the end, like Liu Yifu, he was a little out of breath, so he exchanged words with Cheng Qianzhong.
Cheng Qianzhong understood and jumped onto the ring.
He used the thirty-six axes passed down from the monks' Tiangang, and with just one axe, he knocked Master Yin off the stage.
This Cheng Qianzhong is as old as Cheng Lao Qiansui, and only knows three axes.
With three axes out and his amazing strength, he is more than enough to deal with ordinary generals!
If you are facing a fierce general and the like, if you hit him with three axes, you will fall down.
Therefore, Cheng Qianzhong was not bad, and he defended three games.
Yuchi came up from Qingshan Mountain and defeated him in a few rounds with the bamboo-jointed steel whip.
In the end, Qin Ying came on the scene and used his golden mace to fight with Yuchi Qingshan for a while. The latter knew that he was no match for Qin Ying, so he retreated and stayed with Luo Zhang to deal with him.
"Qin Ying is on the stage, who dares to step up now!"
"His family has a legend about the Eighteen Maces of the Dragon. Back then, Mr. Qin Qiong had a reputation of attacking thirty-six houses with his maces and riding horses on both sides of the Yellow River. Who dares to challenge him?"
"..."
Seeing Qin Ying coming on the field, the young generals shook their heads and expressed defeat.
"Why are you sighing? Let me go up and fight!"
The next moment.
A young man in white robe jumped onto the ring.
This man was born with a handsome face and a slender figure.
He held a Five Tiger Soul-Severing Gun and jumped onto the ring.
"Now there's something good to watch!"
"The Qin family's mace and the Luo family's gun are both famous. Back then, Mr. Qin Qiong and Qiao Luocheng were cousins!"
"Now, the battle between Luo Zhang and Qin Ying is expected to be a battle between dragons and tigers!"
"The leader position is probably between the two of them!"
"..."
When everyone saw this situation, they all became interested and started talking about it.
Not far away.
His Highness the Crown Prince will also watch this scene with great interest along with all the civil and military officials.
"Brother Qin, although you and I are cousins, the position of commander-in-chief is very important. I am determined to get it, so let's use my trump card!"
Luo Zhang came on stage, glanced sideways at Qin Ying, and said.
"Unfortunately, I also value this handsome man!"
Qin Ying said in a deep voice.
After the words fell, he took the lead in moving his hands, raising his mace and hitting from a distance.
This dragon's mace is faster than the other, and its body moves with the mace, just like a swimming dragon, shuttling back and forth on the field.
Sometimes the golden mace is swung, and it chops down hard; sometimes the double mace is twisted, and it comes rolling in.
Faced with this ever-changing and extremely fierce approach, Luo Zhang did not dare to neglect and worked hard.
His spear technique thrust out a long thrust, then swung it left and right, and in an instant the spear shadow was thick and powerful as a mountain.
A silver spear can be picked, teased, chopped, or carried.
When it collided with the gold mace, fire splashed out and the sound of gold and stone was loud!
For a while, Luo Zhang and Qin Ying also fought for a hundred times, but there was still no winner.
When everyone below saw this scene, they all clapped and applauded.
This time it will be an eye-opener for everyone.
But the competition on the field was still intense. Luo Zhang and Qin Ying both wanted to win the coaching position, and neither one wanted to admit defeat.
After this back and forth, the 300th round was soon reached, and both of them were a little out of breath. When they launched their attacks, they also moved faster and faster, wanting to end it as soon as possible.
In the stands, some generals frowned upon seeing this.
If the fight continues, the two of them will be injured.
However, these two people were very skilled in kung fu and had powerful weapons. They suddenly entered the scene and failed to stop the fight. Instead, they were asking for trouble.
Even though the generals knew it well, they didn't think they had the ability, so they had no choice but to persuade His Highness to wave their hands.
At worst, we can divide the left and right marshals.
However.
Right now.
Above the void in the school grounds, a neighing sound suddenly came out. The sound was like a horse, and there was also a long moaning sound, which was extremely harsh.
Involuntarily, everyone looked up and saw a young man sitting on a strange beast.
What does that young man look like?
I saw that he was wearing a Tai Sui helmet with a dragon and hair tied on his head, a lock of heavenly king's armor, a dark dragon and white flower red bird robe, wearing water-transmitting cloud shoes, holding a square halberd with a painting pole, and a Xuanwu whip hanging around his waist.
, a precious eagle bow hangs on the left, and nine cloud-piercing arrows are placed in the right pocket. It is really heroic and majestic.
Suddenly, the young man jumped off the dragon colt, fell from the sky, and landed on the ring.
He opened his hands, and the two waves of air spread out, causing Luo Zhang and Qin Ying to retreat a few feet each.
"Boy, who are you to dare to cause trouble in the school grounds?"
At this moment, Luo Zhang and Qin Ying were both unhappy and glared at Xue Dingshan.
At the same time.
Everyone in the arena was shocked when they saw the young man in golden armor falling from the sky.
I wonder where he comes from?
He actually knows how to soar into the clouds and ride on the mist!
The other side.
Not far away, all the civil and military officials were shocked when they saw this man.
Looking at this child in disbelief!
It seems that he is younger than Luo Zhang and others.
"This is the poor Taoist Xue Dingshan, and my father is the king Xue Rengui!"
Facing everyone's gaze, Xue Dingshan spoke calmly.
Chapter completed!
