Chapter 2288: Fire God Zhu Rong, Liangzhou armistice
Seeing Yue Yun asking him to borrow money, Xue Dingshan asked with a puzzled look: "Ayun, you are the assistant general. Your military rank is higher than that of my captain. Why don't you even have a mere one hundred taels?"
Although Xue Dingshan made many meritorious deeds when he was in Youzhou, he also suffered some defeats due to the incompetence of his teammates, and almost killed his own father. After all the merits and demerits, he is still just a school captain.
Yue Yun was completely different. He showed his prowess on the Jingzhou battlefield and even joined forces with other Four Hammer generals to defeat Xing Tian, the most powerful general in the Shu Kingdom. He can be called the most dazzling rising star among the young generals.
With Yue Yun's accumulated merits, he could definitely be promoted to general general, but Yue Fei felt that his son was still too young, and it was not a good thing to ascend to a high position too early, as it would easily be counterproductive, so he deliberately lowered Yue Yun's merits and gave only Yue Yun
Make a general.
Yue Yun saw that he had made such great contributions but only got one general in the end, so he went directly to his father to ask for an explanation. In anger, he even said that he had been born in the wrong child in his life. Not only did he not get any benefit from being Yue Fei's son, but he even had no benefits at all.
All the credit that should belong to you is gone.
Although Yue Fei knew he was in the wrong, he became angry when he heard his son burying him in this way. He took a stick and wanted to beat Yue Yun.
Yue Yun was going crazy when he saw this. He didn't get his explanation and he still had to be beaten. Who could he ask to reason with? So he evaded and fought back at the same time, and then the father and son started fighting directly.
In the end, it was Yue Fei who became a father who came out on top and used his fists to tell his son what Lao Tzu is.
With Yue Fei possessing the 'Martial Saint', his combat power was even greater than before. Yue Yun did not dare to show his true strength, so he was no match for him and was beaten violently by Yue Fei.
Yue Fei beat his son to the ground and then explained to Yue Yun the purpose of doing this. Yue Yun was about to cry after hearing this. He was just angry, not unreasonable. If his father had said this earlier, neither father nor son would
As for fighting.
The result is now unlucky. Not to mention all the credit, he still received a severe beating for nothing. He is simply unlucky.
But when he thought of his good brother Xue Dingshan, who was still just a captain, Yue Yun felt a lot more balanced.
Seeing Yue Yun's expression of embarrassment, Xue Dingshan suddenly thought of something and asked, "You didn't go to Zilanxuan secretly, did you?"
Yue Yun quickly covered Xue Dingshan's mouth and said nervously: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't go to Zilanxuan again. Brother, it's not you who caused me to be in such a miserable state now."
Hearing this, Xue Dingshan rolled his eyes: "Hey, what does this have to do with me? Can you blame me?"
"You took me to Zilanxuan last time, but you ran away and I was caught by that Yinping girl. As soon as Yinping got home, she told everything to mother, and then all my salary was stolen by mother.
They confiscated it and said they would hand it over to my wife after I get married. Now brother, I don’t even have the money to drink."
Xue Dingshan was speechless after hearing this. It turned out that it really had something to do with him, but he still insisted: "I am really convinced by you, even my own sister can't handle it."
"It's like you can handle Golden Lotus."
Xue Dingshan was immediately speechless. His sister Xue Jinlian was even more troublesome than Yue Yinping. He got a big headache when he thought of his sister.
"No, here you go, take it."
"Good brother, after I get married and move out of my house, I will return this money to you."
Hearing what Yue Yun said, Xue Dingshan couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said with a speechless face: "Stop talking nonsense and come up quickly."
"Um."
With the registration fee, Yue Yun could naturally challenge Zhu Rong. After paying the money, he strode onto the ring with such heavy steps that the floor tiles were broken.
"Yue Family Yue Yun."
After saying this, Yue Yun assumed the offensive posture of Yue Family Boxing and stared at Zhu Rong opposite him with a vigilant expression.
Many of the people watching the battle were apprentices from the Yue Family Martial Arts School. When they saw Yue Yun on the stage, those apprentices all shouted excitedly.
During the period when Yue Fei was dismissed for complaining about injustice, in order to support his family, he opened a martial arts gym in Luoyang to teach Yue Family Boxing. Excellent apprentices would even be accepted as his direct disciples. Qin Ji and Qin Si were both Yue Fei's apprentices.
Later, Yue Fei was acquitted and was reinstated, but the martial arts gym was not closed. It was just that Yue Fei no longer taught boxing in person, and instead his disciples taught boxing techniques on his behalf. However, there were still a large number of martial arts students who signed up.
Nowadays, the Yue Family Martial Arts School is one of the largest martial arts schools in Luoyang, with students all over the world, and Yue Family Boxing has become the most popular boxing method today.
Yuejiaquan is famous for its practical combat. Every move and style is practical and does not pursue the artificial beauty of the frame or appearance. There are ten sets of boxing techniques, from easy to difficult, step by step, and it is easy to learn but difficult to master.
There are anywhere from two million to one million people who know Yuejiaquan, but obviously there are not many people who have truly practiced it to a proficient level, and Yue Yun is one of them.
Yue Yun has been practicing this set of boxing techniques with Yue Fei since he was a child. It was not until he was knocked away by Xing Tian with a sledgehammer in his hand during the Jingbei battle that he had to fight Xing Tian with bare hands. Only then did he practice this set of boxing techniques to perfection in a life-and-death battle.
He barely managed to save his life under Xing Tian.
Yue Yun was very confident in his boxing skills, so he did not directly compete with Zhu Rong on weapons, thinking that he could defeat Zhu Rong with just his fists and kicks.
Just as Yue Yun was thinking about how to attack, Zhu Rong was thinking about whether to increase the registration fee. After all, fighting against more powerful people would consume more energy.
The reward for defeating a master with the power of a grandmaster is the same as a first-class player, or even a second-class or third-class player. This is really a disadvantage.
Zhu Rong was thinking about raising the price, but Yue Yun had already shouted and attacked, hitting Zhu Rong with all his strength with a pair of iron fists.
Seeing this, Zhu Rong stopped thinking and punched to fight.
Bang……
After the fists of one big and one small collided, a huge impact hit them, and the two people's bodies fell back at the same time. Then they rushed towards each other and continued to fight head-on.
Bang, bang, bang...
The sound of punches hitting the flesh kept coming, coupled with the superb boxing skills, the spectators around him were excited to watch.
"This Mr. Zhu can actually compete head-on with A-yun in terms of physical training and strength?"
Xue Dingshan's face was full of surprise. He looked to Wang Xuance aside and asked, "Do the Southern Barbarians have such a superb body-refining technique?"
Yue Yunshi learned from Qin Yong, and he was better than Lan. He practiced the body refining technique in Zulong Jue, but Zhu Rong was not inferior to Yue Yun in the slightest.
Wang Xuance was also full of surprise. Only now did he realize that when fighting him, Zhu Rong was not only throwing water, but also letting the sea go. If the opponent used his full strength from the beginning, he might not be able to withstand a single move.
"The land of the Southern Barbarians has always been mysterious, but since it can give birth to Chi You, a master whose strength is not even weaker than Xing Tian, the Southern Barbarians should have their own powerful skills." Wang Xuance said.
While the two were talking, the situation in the ring changed again. Zhu Rong no longer continued to confront Yue Yun head-on. Instead, he used his body skills and speed to tremble with Yue Yun. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had exchanged dozens of moves.
.
Zhu Rong is not stupid. Although she also exercises, she is born as a girl and her physical fitness is naturally inferior to that of a man. If she keeps confronting Yue Yun, he will definitely suffer in the end.
After another hit missed, Yue Yun felt inexplicably irritated. He hated this kind of unmanly battle, and immediately said loudly: "Don't hide if you are a man, let's fight head-on."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Yun received a punch on the left side of his face. However, he did not defend and counterattacked, but the punch was empty again, and then he received another punch on the right side of his face.
After receiving several punches in a row, Yue Yun was beaten to the point of losing his temper, so he gave in decisively and said: "You win the boxing match, but I am not convinced, so you dare to compete with me on weapons."
Zhu Rong was naturally unwilling, but before she could say anything, Yue Yun had already jumped off the ring, came back with two sledgehammers, and seemed unwilling to give up.
Yue Yun, who was holding two hammers, was completely different from before, and his aura became even more fierce.
[Ding dong, Yue Yun’s skill ‘Golden Hammer’ is activated, force 8, basic force 105, Hammer God 4, current force increased to 117. 】
Seeing this, Zhu Rong felt helpless, so he could only pick up the weapons and prepare to continue fighting, but before taking action, he stopped again and said: "You can continue the weapons competition, and add a thousand taels of challenge fee."
Yue Yun was dumbfounded. He couldn't even afford a hundred taels, so he had to go to Xue Dingshan to borrow one. How could he get a thousand taels? So he could only look at Xue Dingshan imploringly.
Xue Dingshan was also dumbfounded. What do you think of me at this time? Don't think about me helping you pay again, you bastard.
"Dingshan, please, this is the last time. This is the last time."
The most deadly lie is when a strong man lies.
Xue Dingshan couldn't stand Yue Yun's shameless look, so he could only smile bitterly and take out a phoenix hairpin made of pure gold from his arms.
This was his trophy in Youzhou. He originally planned to give it to Yue Yinping when he came back, but it seems that now he can only take it out for emergency purposes.
"This phoenix hairpin is worth more than a thousand taels of silver. I will mortgage it to you temporarily and redeem it when I get the money back home."
Zhu Rong sighed helplessly. She deliberately raised the price in order not to fight with Yue Yun, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't let Yue Yun give up.
Forget it, since people insisted on giving her money, there was no reason for her to refuse.
"Let's fight."
Zhu Rong pointed his knife at Yue Yun, and immediately his aura surged.
[Ding dong, Zhu Rong (Mrs. Zhu Rong)’s skill ‘Vulcan’ is activated.
Vulcan: Zhu Rong's unique skill. Due to gender, the effect of the skill has been weakened to a certain extent.
Effect 1, force 5 after activation.
Effect 2, the stronger the fighting spirit, the stronger the fighting power. The first activation of force is 4, the second activation is 3, and it can be activated twice at most.
Effect 3: During a group battle, for every additional person on the opponent's side, the force is 2, and the increase can be increased up to 3 times.
Effect 4: Restraining skills with the words "water" and "fire" in their names can directly invalidate them.】
[Ding dong, Zhu Rong’s skill ‘Vulcan’ is activated, the force is 54, the basic force is 105 (107), the sword god is 4, and the current force has increased to 119.
bump……
After the sledgehammer and the hammer collided, the sharp blade was cut and curled, and a slash was cut on the sledgehammer, causing the two of them to retreat at the same time.
The fighting spirit in Yue Yun's eyes became even stronger, and he shouted excitedly: "Have fun, keep coming."
After saying this, the two hammers in his hands struck out one after another, but this time Zhu Rong did not use the knife to forcefully hit the blow.
After all, the sword in Zhu Rong's hand was not a magic weapon. She only slashed with all her strength and the blade was already curled. If the confrontation continued, even if she could withstand the weapon, she would not be able to withstand it.
Zhu Rong walked around Yue Yun with a knife. Whenever Yue Yun's sledgehammer attacked, she would hide if she could. If she couldn't avoid it, she would pull it with her knife with all her strength to divert the incoming sledgehammer. With this low-consumption weapon
I fought Yue Yun fifty times very quickly.
After fifty rounds, Yue Yun's physical strength dropped a lot and his condition began to decline, while Zhu Rong's consumption was much smaller.
Another fifty rounds passed, and Yue Yun gradually fell into a disadvantage, but he could still fight again, but the ring under their feet was overwhelmed and collapsed, and both of them jumped out of the ring in time.
"The arena has collapsed and there is no place for competition. We can only fight again next time. Let's treat this battle as a deadlock."
After hearing what Zhu Rong said, Yue Yun was not completely satisfied. Although he was still a little unwilling, he could only accept the result.
——————————
After the summons was completed, Ying Hao personally went to Tianlao to subdue the great master, Chonglou, who was captured alive by Gai Nie Weizhuang and imprisoned.
After a conversation, Chonglou was convinced by Ying Hao, so he decided to submit to Da Qin and became another great master under Ying Hao.
After conquering Chonglou, Ying Hao was naturally in a good mood, and then another piece of good news came.
"My Lord, King Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty took the initiative to send a letter, hoping that the Qin and Sui Dynasties could stop their troops several times, shake hands and make peace, and use the current territory as the boundary." Wang Meng reported with a smile.
When Ying Hao heard this, he also smiled: "Oh? Is Yang Guang scared?"
The founding ceremony and the military parade had just ended, and Yang Guang couldn't wait to ask for peace. Apparently he had received a message from his own envoy and was frightened by Qin's powerful strength, so he took the initiative to ask for peace when he had the upper hand.
As Yan Xing took the initiative to surrender to Qin, the strength of the Qin army increased greatly, and Liangzhou's forces became three again: Sui, Qin, and Ma.
Among the three families, the Sui State was the strongest, followed by the Qin State which annexed Yan Xing, while the Ma family became the weakest force in Liangzhou.
Of course, the Sui State was still the most powerful force in Liangzhou, and even if Qin and Ma joined forces, they would still be at a disadvantage.
However, after the news of the military parade came back, Yang Guang realized more clearly the gap between the two countries. In addition, the Tang State had become a vassal state of the Qin State, and he did not dare to face the powerful Qin alone anymore, so he took advantage of the situation.
Taking the initiative to seek peace under favorable circumstances and giving up the rare opportunity to unify Liangzhou.
"Prime Minister, since Yang Guang has given up, do you think we can use this to put forward some conditions?" Ying Hao asked.
After thinking for a while, Wang Meng replied: "The Sui State is different from the Tang State. The Sui army was not defeated. The Sui State is still the overlord of Liangzhou. I am afraid that the Sui State cannot be slaughtered as a defeated country and must impose unrealistic conditions."
It will only start another war."
"In that case, let's forget it. For the current Great Qin, cultivation and recovery of strength are above all else."
Ying Hao said in a deep voice, he was very clear about the priorities of things.
"Report...to report to Your Majesty, the Southern Barbarian envoys set up an arena in the city, held a martial arts contest for a fee to recruit brides, and defeated many challengers. The son of Prime Minister Wang, the son of Governor Xue, and many other minor generals were defeated by them, but only Governor Yue
His son Yue Yun fought with him for a hundred rounds without losing."
After hearing the news, Ying Hao was a little confused.
Is it just a competition to recruit a bride? There is still a fee? Zhu Rong has quite a business acumen.
Others didn't know that the Southern Barbarian envoy was the Princess of the Southern Kingdom. Ying Hao, who had a system, couldn't help but know that. He had met and talked to Zhu Rong more than once, and Zhu Rong's men's clothing also left a deep impression on him, so he was even more puzzled.
Zhu Rong’s intention in doing this.
"Ask Zhang Yi to go to the Southern Kingdom Mission and ask them what their intentions are." Ying Hao said.
