Chapter 141 Contest and Gifts (7000 words long chapter)
The sun sets in the west.
The sky slowly darkened.
The people from Sujiazhai have not come back so soon.
Xia Tian returned to the valley with Du Jun and Zhao Dadao in high spirits.
The moon slowly rose into the sky.
In the Shenlong Valley, bonfires were lit.
Xia Tian led people to pay homage to the soldiers who died in the battle.
Then.
He, Zhao Zichang, Lu Shu, Gao Fei, Lao Gui, Xiao Bai, Zang Yi, Zang Jiu, Du Jun, and Zhao Da Dao sat around a bonfire, waiting to eat the meal made from the python dragon.
The fragrance began to float in the Shenlong Valley.
Xia Tian thought of something: "Xiao Bai, did Senior Wuface and Senior Red bring python meat?"
Xiaobai smiled and replied: "Of course I brought it!"
"Two pieces of back meat!"
"Xiao Bai doesn't dare to disobey the prince's orders!"
Xia Tian looked towards the direction of Yinshan Mountain, his eyes full of hope: "I hope that Senior Wuface can recover to the master level after eating this nutritious python meat!"
Now, the faceless man has regained his vitality and practiced the "Rejuvenation Technique". If he breaks through the master realm, he will definitely be more powerful than when he was at his peak!
The best swordsman in the world will definitely become invincible again.
He is looking forward to it!
suddenly.
"Whoosh..."
Next to Xia Tian, there are two more graceful figures, it is Yizhimei and the medical saint.
There is no stopping Zang Yi in the dark.
Zhao Zichang did not hit him with a big stick.
Because Xia Tian has already given instructions.
He smiled warmly: "Are you willing to give it up?"
Yiljimae took off the veil hanging from her ears, revealing her beautiful face, and smiled slightly, which was 60% similar to Sima Lan's smile: "I came to say goodbye."
Xia Tian was a little surprised: "You want to go back to the imperial capital?"
"yes!"
Yizhimei was not surprised that Xia Tian guessed it correctly: "My two daughters from the Sima family cannot accompany you to fight here. If something unexpected happens, my father will be heartbroken."
"Although I like... the scenery of Huangzhou."
"But, my mission of protecting my sister to Huangzhou has been completed. I just received the warrant from my father. It's time for me to go back!"
Xia Tian silently took out a clay pot from behind: "There is a piece of python meat in this. It is a tribute to my father-in-law and mother-in-law in the imperial capital. Please bring it back, eldest sister."
Sima Mei had a complicated look in her beautiful eyes. She reached out to take it, but her heart was even more complicated: "You have arrived in Huangzhou now, and it is time to marry Lan Mei according to the emperor's order!"
"Sister, I'm here to wish you a happy marriage!"
"Have a son soon!"
At this time.
Xia Tian took out another box from behind: "Here are the jewelry Lan'er selected for you, accept them!"
"You protected us all the way, and it is this king who owes you!"
"After this battle, if I don't die, I will definitely come to the imperial capital to see you and give you heavy thank you gifts!"
Sima Mei smiled sweetly, and looked at Xia Tian deeply: "Okay! As long as you and Lan'er are alive, I will like whatever you give me."
"If you send it, eldest sister will like it better!"
There is love in her eyes!
Not deep!
But it's not shallow either.
Xia Tian didn't know how to answer these words?
At this time.
"Sister!"
Sima Lan appeared behind Xia Tian in time: "You go back and tell father that after I finish fighting this battle in Huangzhou and get married to the prince, I will take the prince back to see him and his mother!"
Sima Mei's eyes turned red, she stood up, took Sima Lanyu's hand, and said seriously: "Mei Lan, in addition to bringing father's warrant, the hidden guard also brought intelligence from the Sirius Empire!"
"This time, Huyan Duo'er led an army to conquer the cavalry in person, and the number that came was 150,000 Sirius cavalry, all of whom were the elites of the Sirius Empire."
"This time, Huyan Duo'er's three masters also followed her in the expedition. They are the three major enshrinees of the Sirius Empire: Tiger Grandmaster, Leopard Grandmaster, and Wolf Grandmaster."
"At the same time, according to intelligence, the Imperial Master of the Sirius Empire has led his disciples and disciples to Huyan Duo'er's Tiandiao Prefecture, with unknown intentions."
"Father guesses that the old immortal is probably coming to Huangzhou!"
Speaking of which.
Sima Mei took a deep look at Xia Tian: "Sirius Imperial Master is an old immortal who studied at Jixia Academy. It is very likely that he came here because of some ancient past events!"
"My lord, be careful!"
Xia Tian understands!
That day, Master Lang was coming for him!
The purpose may be the same as Qin Hongyi's.
At this time.
Sima Lan's beautiful eyes were full of seriousness: "Sister, now, the meal is not ready yet, we two sisters should go for a walk!"
"good!"
Sima Mei took Sima Lan's hand and floated away.
Under the firelight, this stunning pair added a bit of brightness to the night, and it was a pleasure to watch.
In summer, smell the fragrance of python soup in the pot!
In his ears, which could hear farther than ordinary people, the conversation of Sister Sima came.
Sima Lan's tone was very serious: "Sister, I can ask you to give me other things, but the prince is not a thing. He is the only one in the world that Lan'er likes."
"So, Lan'er can't give it up to you!"
"Besides, the prince and I are getting married according to the decree, and the emperor's order cannot be violated."
"Just put aside your thoughts about the prince, return to the imperial capital, fulfill your filial piety under the knees of your father and mother, and find a good man to marry in the imperial capital!"
"Why......"
Sima Mei sighed quietly: "Mei Lan, you are my biological sister, how can the eldest sister argue with you?"
"However, on the way to Huangzhou, in order to protect you, my eldest sister had a fight with the Zongheng Demon Girl and was injured in the chest."
"On the prince's carriage, he took off my clothes and used silver needles to heal my wounds."
"A man and a woman alone, if the eldest sister hadn't walked quickly, something might have happened!"
"Sister, it's difficult too!"
"snort......"
Sima Lan said coldly: "Your Majesty is a doctor. When he saw you injured, he couldn't leave without saving you. That's why he used a silver needle to stop your bleeding and seal your poison, so that you could have time to find the medical saint."
"Lan Mei is well aware of the prince's character. He is definitely not the kind of person who is motivated by sex!"
"Even if he takes off your bellyband... in his eyes, you are just a wounded person."
"In the words of the prince, a doctor has a parental heart... Even if your jade body is laid out in front of him, what he sees in his eyes is just various organs of the human body!"
Xia Tian was deeply gratified.
Sima Lan is indeed someone who can be a princess!
far away.
Sima Lan and Sima Mei walked further and further apart.
Xia Tian could no longer hear the conversation between the two!
Sima Lan asked helplessly: "Sister, there are thousands of men in this world, why do you fall in love with the prince?"
Sima Mei looked at the moon and asked: "Lan Mei, there are thousands of men who like you, why do you marry him willingly?"
Sima Lan's eyes sparkled: "Because, he is very special."
"Intelligent, kind, ambitious, visionary, strategic, broad-minded, he doesn't regard women as tools to carry on the family line... There are so many good things about him, Lan'er can't finish them!"
"It is God's arrangement that he and I come together!"
A foxy smile appeared on Sima Mei's lips: "Since he is so good, why don't I like him?"
Sima Lan was silent for a moment: "Sister, if I die in Huangzhou this time and he is still alive, you can marry him!"
"If I live, you have no chance!"
Sima Mei also fell silent!
After a while.
The light in her beautiful eyes dimmed a lot: "Sister, I hope that I will never have this opportunity!"
"After I return to the imperial capital, I will be at home hoping that you are safe every day."
"After this battle is over, you must write back as soon as possible to reassure us."
"If you die... no matter who kills you, my eldest sister will avenge you even if she goes to the Sirius Empire!"
Sima Lan shouted emotionally: "Sister..."
Her heart softened and she was about to say something?
Sima Mei smiled in relief: "You little fool, don't be so easily moved!"
"I am your biological sister!"
"I can compete with you for things, men, and other people. If anyone reaches out, I will chop off his claws!"
"You were killed, I will avenge you, it is only natural!"
"The man you have chosen is a strange man with a saintly wisdom. If we go back five hundred years and look through the history books, such an interesting man has never appeared."
"Since you have identified him, then marry him!"
"Sister, bless you!"
Sima Lan knew that they were about to separate, her eyes became redder, she shed tears, and shouted emotionally: "Sister!"
Sima Mei's eyes also turned red, and she stretched out her hand to wipe away her sister's tears: "Don't cry!"
"Come back alive!"
"good!"
After a while.
The two sisters Sima Lan and Sima Mei turned back hand in hand, with friendly faces and sweet smiles, as if they were the closest sisters in the world.
Xia Tian picked up the pottery bowl and pretended not to hear anything: "The python soup is ready!"
Sima Lan and Sima Mei returned to their seats.
At this time.
Xia Tian stood up, jumped on the top of the carriage behind him, held the snake soup bowl, and said angrily: "Tonight's celebration party, there will be no wine!"
"Because the wine must be reserved for the wounded!"
"Tonight, we will celebrate with the legendary dragon meat from Shiwanda Mountain!"
"Legend has it that if you eat the flesh and blood of a dragon, you will live forever!"
"Then tonight, let's eat and become immortal together!"
"Hahaha......"
Everyone in the palace laughed.
Xia Tian also laughed: "Okay!"
"Even if you can't live forever, you can still replenish your vitality and make your body better!"
"So, you must drink!"
"drink!"
Everyone in the palace raised their bowls and drank the python soup in one go.
There are many people, but there is little python meat. Each person can only have one bowl.
"boom......"
After eating the python soup, a heat surged from Xia Tian's stomach into his Dantian, making him feel hot all over, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
Immediately afterwards.
The infuriating energy in Dantian is promoted!
He became a first-class warrior!
The energy contained in python meat is truly extraordinary.
Xia Tian is looking forward to the breakthrough of everyone in the palace.
Then.
"I broke through!"
A group of ecstatic royal warriors shouted: "Your Majesty, we are warriors now!"
"We are so angry!"
Xia Xia Xing's eyes burst with divine light: "Okay!"
"Hahaha......"
"This python has increased your fighting power, which can be considered as atonement for your sins!"
At this time.
Everyone in the palace seemed to understand Xia Tian's heart.
According to legend, eating the meat of the immortal dragon is not as important as them in the heart of the prince.
"thump......"
Everyone in the palace knelt down on one knee, with tears in their eyes: "I am willing to die for the prince!"
"Kill Sirius!"
The wind in the valley blew gently, carrying everyone's voices far away, as if they wanted to carry the words throughout the deserted state.
Under the bright moon.
The people of Huangzhou Palace had the same light in their eyes, their hearts were tightly knit together, and they were ready for a deadly battle.
This scene is shocking to see.
Taoist saint Gu Yue looked at Xia Tian with admiration: "Brother, King Huangzhou said that in this world, the sky is big and the earth is big, and human life is the biggest."
"What he said is so good!"
“People are good-looking too!”
antiquity:"......"
at this time.
Du Jun and Zhao Dadao were shocked beyond words.
Du Jun thoughtfully asked: "Lao Dao, if there is such a king of Huangzhou asking you to follow, are you still willing to follow this plan and die directly and vigorously?"
Zhao Dadao thought for a while: "The king of Huangzhou, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Such a king of Huangzhou is worth following!"
Du Jun seemed to have seen through everything: "That's why you want to get your son to come with him and let your son withdraw from this plan so that there is a glimmer of hope for survival!"
"Hey hey hey..."
Zhao Dadao asked back: "Laojun, why do you want to sell your daughter to him?"
Du Jun smiled a bit sadly: "Same as you, I want my daughter to have a glimmer of hope!"
"My daughter has learned how to be a merchant. Even if she cannot become his woman, she can still earn a living under him based on her skills. If she can be taken care of by him, then I will feel relieved!"
"Lao Dao, what we are going to do is too dangerous!"
"Whether it fails or not, the family will be in disaster."
"If you can pull one out, count it as one!"
"Lao Dao, don't you think so?"
"Hey hey hey..."
Zhao Dadao smiled proudly: "That boy of mine should also be a first-rate military general!"
"Coming to Huangzhou is just the right time to help."
"It's just, Laojun, how do you explain to Xiao Baifeng?"
Du Jun's expression condensed: "That depends on whether the Grand Governor...is really going to cause chaos!"
"If the King of Huangzhou is not worth following!"
"Of course I will go crazy with him! Die with him!"
"Now, I won't just watch him drag everyone to death!"
"We are doing this to save ourselves and Xiaobai Feng!"
Zhao Dadao said seriously: "Okay!"
"Old rules, I will do whatever you say!"
At this time.
On top of the carriage.
Xia Tian said loudly: "Everyone, get up!"
"Next, let's try the dragon blood rice and soup!"
"yes!"
Only then did everyone get up.
under.
Sima Mei took a deep look at Xia Tian: "Lan Mei, how can women in the world not love such a man?"
"From now on, you must take care of the door to the backyard of Huangzhou Prince's Mansion and don't let anyone in casually!"
Sima Lan smiled sweetly: "Don't worry about me!"
"Your Majesty, you only have a sense of propriety!"
"I believe him!"
Sima Mei picked up the python blood soup and blood rice on the wooden table and swallowed it like a man.
After she finished eating, she walked away: "Lan Mei, the eldest sister is leaving!"
Sima Lan shouted: "Your Majesty, send my eldest sister off!"
Xia Tian jumped off the carriage: "Okay!"
Sima Mei stepped towards the entrance of Shenlong Valley: "Lan Mei, can you also give me a ride?"
Sima Lan shook her head and said, "I will say goodbye to my eldest sister right here."
"My lord, go ahead!"
Xia Tian followed!
Sima Mei smiled reluctantly: "Your Majesty, who is more beautiful, Sima Mei or Lan'er?"
This is a gift question.
Xia Tian made a haha: "Sisters are equally beautiful!"
Sima Mei shook her head and stopped asking: "After I leave, will you think of me... appearing in your life at some point?"
"Definitely!"
Xia Tian is very sure: "Whenever snowflakes fall in winter, I will remember that there is a beautiful girl, nicknamed Yizhimei, who once came to me."
Sima Mei wiped the hot tears from the corner of her eyes: "With these words from the prince, Sima Mei's suffering along the way is worth it!"
At this time.
Already arrived at the mouth of the valley.
Xiaobai brought over a horse with a newly made saddle in Xia Tian: "This is the saddle I made myself. It will be more comfortable for you to sit on it and return to the imperial capital. It will reduce your fatigue when returning to the imperial capital!"
Sima Mei smiled!
She got on her horse, turned its head, and headed towards Tianmen Mountain without looking back: "My lord, your literary talent is excellent, can you give Sima Mei a poem?"
Feelings of farewell welled up in Xia Tian's heart, and he chanted loudly: "All the flowers are swaying, and they are blooming alone, taking up all the charm towards the small garden."
"The sparse shadows are slanting across the clear and shallow water, and the faint fragrance is floating in the moonlight at dusk."
"The frost bird steals its eyes when it wants to come down, and the white butterfly knows how to unite and break its soul."
"Fortunately, we can have sex with each other even if we sing slightly, and we don't need to share gold bottles with sandalwood boards."
"Iljimae, take care!"
Sima Mei's figure on the horse trembled, and without looking back, she ran away: "Take care!"
It turns out that he understands me!
Sima Mei has no regrets!
at this time.
In the valley.
Zhao Dadao looked puzzled: "Laojun, what do you mean by this sentence?"
Du Jun had an expression of admiration on his face: "The prince said that he was looking at flowers in the imperial garden. The most beautiful ones are the plum blossoms in winter. They have a unique feeling and tenderness, just like a peerless beauty."
"The beauty of plum blossoms does not lie in the bustle, but in its sparseness and tranquility, elegance and seclusion."
"In the dusk, when the moonlight is pale and the plum branches are sparse, they are reflected in the shallow water. Birds will secretly look at it, and if butterflies know it, they will fly towards it like crazy."
"Plum blossoms are the most beautiful flowers!"
"The prince praises Sima Mei's beauty by chanting plum blossoms!"
"What a beautiful poem!"
"I see!"
Zhao Dadao suddenly realized: "Well, what a poem!"
Du Jun glared: "Do you understand poetry?"
Zhao Dadao: "You'll understand once you tell me!"
Du Jun: "..."
At this time.
Summer is back!
Zhao Dadao walked over with a provocative look on his face: "Your Majesty, if the Sujiazhai is defecting to you now, it must be an alliance with our Huangzhou City!"
"real!"
"If you don't believe it, let's make a bet!"
Summer can’t help but be strange!
Isn't this old guy already afraid of making a bet with himself?
Why come up automatically?
What are you doing?
Does he have any conspiracy?
"Governor Zhao, what treasures do you have to bet with me?"
Zhao Dadao said proudly: "There is an ugly girl in my family. She has been very strong since she was a child. She has been fighting in the army all year round. She is already a first-class general with extraordinary strength!"
"If the Su family village comes to surrender to the prince, my ugly daughter will be at the mercy of the prince from now on!"
surprise!
Xia Tian took a deep look at Zhao Dadao and Du Jun who were seeing the old gods: "Is your ugly girl in the mountains?"
Zhao Dadao proudly pointed to the mountain of 100,000 people: "Of course, we will hone ourselves in the army in the mountains!"
Happy summer!
With the help of these two old guys, the uncontrolled army in Huangzhou Mountain can be found!
In Huangzhou City, it is difficult to distinguish between friends and foes of Bai Feng, so this matter is very important!
"good!"
"I made a bet with you!"
Zhao Dadao looked pleased: "Okay! Your Majesty, please be happy!"
Xia Tian blinked: "Governor Zhao, if I lose, what price will I have to pay?"
Zhao Dadao thought about it for a while, and then his eyes flashed: "I also have an adopted daughter who is unparalleled in beauty. She is good at playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she also loves people."
"If the prince loses, I will let this adopted daughter serve the prince and princess."
The veins in the corners of Xia Tian’s eyes are throbbing!
Why is this old guy crazily stuffing people around him?
Are these two old guys conquered by their domineering aura?
Or do you think you are a wise master and worthy of following?
Anyway, no matter what the reason is, it is possible to dismantle the forces of Huangzhou City from within!
Next.
He will take action against Xiao Baifeng in Huangzhou City!
Because before we fight against the outside world, we must first make peace with the inside.
Xia Tian was in a good mood: "Xiao Bai, put down barbecue at the entrance of Shenlong Valley, light a bonfire, and fry two side dishes. I want to have a night talk with the two governors at the entrance of the valley, and wait for the people from Sujiazhai to come and vote!"
"yes!"
Xiaobai took the order and left.
At this time.
Zhao Dadao asked worriedly: "Old Lord, if Sujiazhai is preempted by that old guy to form an alliance, what will happen if the prince loses?"
Du Jun looked at the bright moon: "Your Majesty will not lose!"
"Because, I probably guessed what the prince's gift is!"
...
the other side.
Under the moonlight, the Shiwan Mountains are surrounded by mist, just like a fairyland on earth.
However, wild beasts are rampant inside, the poisons are terrifying, and there are many hunters. It is actually a dangerous place on earth.
Under the moonlight.
Yellow and cyan mountain roads intersect in the mountains, forming hundreds of thousands of roads in the mountains.
The mountain road is so narrow that not even a carriage can pass.
Sujiazhai.
Located on the outskirts of Shiwanda Mountain.
In fact, the straight-line distance from Shenlong Mountain to Sujia Mountain is only fifty miles.
However, when Su Qi led the people from the village back to Sujiazhai from Shenlong Mountain, they had to walk a full 150 miles over mountains and ridges, three times the distance before they could get home.
at this time.
The carriage given to her by Xia Tian has been abandoned and hidden at the entrance of the mountain, with someone specifically watching it.
Now, she is leading her tribe, holding torches and carrying vine baskets on her back, to deliver the things presented by the King of Huangzhou to the mountains.
The mountain road is difficult, but it is difficult to reach the sky.
at this time.
In the Juyi Hall in Sujiazhai.
An old man with gray hair and beard sat in the middle, and behind him stood a middle-aged man with a bookish face, who looked exactly like the old man.
On the wooden chair on the left.
An old man wearing a black windbreaker with a gloomy face said: "Mr. Su, this time, the Sirius army is about to invade. If our Huangzhou City is defeated, you will not be spared."
"This time, it's about the interests of the family and the country."
"You are the leader of the Han people's stronghold in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
"As long as you are willing, we will immediately form an alliance to fight against the Sirius army."
"If we can win, on behalf of Huangzhou City, I promise to rule Huangzhou together with your Su family."
"You are allowed to build another city in the deserted state."
"The hundreds of thousands of refugees in the mountains can forget the blame and come under your management, and live openly and openly in the deserted state!"
Mr. Su on the seat was full of reluctance!
but.
He still said helplessly: "Since it is related to the interests of the family and the country, my Su family will agree on the alliance with Huangzhou City..."
At this moment.
"disagree!"
Su Qi entered the hall carrying a basket: "Master, we cannot form an alliance with Huangzhou City!"
Su Lao was delighted: "Why?"
Su Qi put down the basket and took out an item: "This is a gift from Wang Xiaxia of Huangzhou to my grandpa."
suddenly.
Mr. Su's eyes flashed with light. He didn't look like an ancient old man at all. He said with a shocked face: "What did you say his name was?"
"summer!"
People from Huangzhou City were extremely shocked when they looked at that item!
His eyes were full of surprise: "Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Chapter completed!
