After Zhu Ji asked Xiang Shaolong to sit next to her, she stared through the curtain at the Xianyang night scene passing by like water.
The main street was crowded with Qin people celebrating the spring festival and the birth of the black dragon.
Every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and the sound of firecrackers continues, which particularly highlights Zhu Ji's empty and helpless state of mind.
Ever since King Zhuang Xiang passed away, Zhu Ji has never been truly happy.
Her life was created by Lu Buwei, but it was also destroyed by Lu Buwei.
I'm afraid even she herself doesn't understand the grudge between her and Lu Buwei.
Although Miao Du seems to be very beautiful, from the beginning to the end he is just a pawn being exploited by various parties.
Unexpectedly, with Zhu Ji's shrewdness, she would become so confused once she became obsessed with male sex.
When she was sighing in her heart, Zhu Ji whispered softly with her fragrant lips: "Shaolong, what should I do in the future?"
In a daze, Xiang Shaolong seemed to have slipped into the time and space machine again, returning to the days when he and Zhu Jichu met in Handan. He trembled in his heart and said: "The Queen Mother..."
Then I didn’t know what to say anymore.
Zhu Ji turned around, looked at him intently and said, "I'm sorry."
Xiang Shaolong said in astonishment: "Why did the Queen Mother say this?"
Zhu Ji lowered her head and said sadly: "I don't even know what I am doing, but sometimes, I really wish someone would kill you."
Xiang Shaolong knew that she was referring to Yun Zhun Guan Zhongxie's duel with him, so he sighed and said, "I will never blame the Queen Mother. No matter what, I will not blame you."
Zhu Ji's delicate body trembled, and she raised her head to look at him. After a while, she suddenly said: "Whether that black dragon is real or fake, please don't hide it from me."
Xiang Shaolong immediately became angry. Knowing that Zhu Ji was still planning for Miao Du, he said coldly: "Of course it's true. Can you fake it if you want to?"
Zhu Ji stared at him blankly for a while, then turned away to look out the window and said with a wry smile: "Shaolong, you are angry. Sometimes I really hope you can hit me and scold me, so that I can feel better."
After a pause, he continued: "I know you too well. Just from the way you answered just now, I know that it is just a fake dragon. You must have come up with such a powerful strategy. No one is better at pretending than you.
"
Xiang Shaolong's heart felt hot, and he had a complex that even he couldn't understand. He leaned close to her ear and said softly: "At this moment, I really want to give the Queen Mother a good beating."
Zhu Ji's delicate body trembled violently, she turned around with a sound of "ah", and a complicated and unexplainable look appeared in her eyes.
Just when Xiang Shaolong was about to seal his lips with hers, the carriage suddenly stopped and it turned out that he had arrived at the palace.
Xiang Shaolong sighed secretly in his heart.
After all, destiny cannot be changed at all.
When Zhu Ji arrived at the banquet, Xiaopan, Lu Buwei and the ministers warmly welcomed her as usual, as if nothing had ever happened.
Pu Hu and Du Bi were both present and looked calm.
If Qiu Risheng had the opportunity to visit here, he would definitely feel that his sacrifice was not worth it.
Xiang Shaolong was in a bad mood because of Guoxing's death. When he sat down at the table where Li Si and Changping Jun were sitting, he asked in a deep voice: "Where is Guan Zhongxie?"
Li Si and Li Si were startled when they heard his unkind tone, and asked together: "What does Shaolong want?"
At this time, Xiang Shaolong had found Guan Zhongxie, who was sitting five seats below him. He was sitting next to Lu Niangrong, Xu Shang, and Lian Jiao, talking quietly.
In order to lighten the atmosphere, Mr. Changping said with a smile: "That three-talented woman is indeed well-deserved. Even though she sang just one song, her moving voice still seems to be lingering in my ears."
Xiang Shaolong took a deep breath and said: "I want to kill Guan Zhongxie"
The two of them were shocked and speechless for a moment. Li Si could only say: "Shaolong, think twice."
At this time, Xiaopan, Lu Buwei and a group of ministers were taking turns toasting to Zhu Ji. As soon as they finished, they took their seats, and the large hall of more than a thousand people fell silent, waiting for Zhu Ji to speak.
Xiang Shaolong's anger surged and he stood up suddenly.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted and focused on him.
Xiang Shaolong's heroic spirit rose to the sky, and he raised his voice: "The last time I went to compete with Master Guan, it ended because Master Guan's sword was broken. Now I see that Master Guan has been wearing another sword. I suddenly feel itchy. I hope I can fight with Master Guan."
Your Excellency, I will try another competition to add to the fun, please give me permission from the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother."
The main hall fell silent suddenly, and everyone's faces showed a look of astonishment, obviously they did not expect Xiang Shaolong to do such a thing.
In fact, in the first two competitions, Xiang Shaolong was forced to fight. Only this time, out of anger at Guoxing's death, he took the initiative.
At this moment, everyone knew that Xiang Shaolong was truly angry at Guan Zhongxie and decided to kill him.
Lu Buwei's face changed slightly, he snorted coldly, and answered before Xiaopan and Weiji: "Tonight is a big day, so it is not appropriate to use weapons rashly. If Shaolong has personal grudges..."
A long laugh came from Miao Du's mouth, and he could only hear him saying sadly: "Father Zhong's words are wrong. Could it be that the last trip was a day of great tragedy for Father Zhong? Why did Father Zhong take the lead in the battle?"
Lu Buwei's eyes flashed sharply, and he stared at Miao Du fiercely. Just as he was about to retaliate, Guan Zhongxie stood up and said, "Xiang Tongdun is indeed very sharp. He saw that the famous Qi sword "shooting the sun" newly worn by his humble position
"It's not an ordinary thing, it's not easy to break, so it's very elegant. If the crown prince, the queen mother, and the father-in-law give it permission, Zhongxie will be happy to accompany it."
Xiaopan laughed and said, "This is my great man in Da Qin. Please give me your approval, the Queen Mother."
After Zhu Ji looked at Xiang Shaolong intently for a while, her beautiful eyes showed gratitude, and she nodded and said: "We, the Qin Dynasty, have always defended our country with force, and these two ministers embody the martial spirit of my great master, so I grant your request.
"
Xiang Shaolong knew that Zhu Jihui was wrong, thinking that he was going to take it out on Guan Zhongxie because of her humiliation. However, Guan Zhongxie had so much control at that time. After thanking him, he and Guan Zhongxie left the table at the same time and walked towards the center of the palace.
.
Everyone was struck by the oppressive and solemn atmosphere.
This is the third time the two have played against each other.
Guan Zhongxie was at a disadvantage twice, can he reverse the defeat this time?
To a certain extent, Xiang Shaolong did take a risk this time. Or it could be said that it was not worth taking the risk.
Guan Zhongxie was unable to defeat Xiang Shaolong the first time because he thought there was no need to get hurt by a person he thought would be dead soon. However, he lost the second time because he had no knowledge of Bai Zhan Sword Technique and was caught off guard, but he was still able to borrow the sword.
No escape, even no damage at all.
Guan Zhongxie now has experience in dealing with the Hundred Battles sword technique, and he will definitely fight to the death in the hope of saving his life. In this case, it is really unknown who will win?
That's why Li Si advised him to think twice.
But at this time, Xiang Shaolong completely forgot about the honor and disgrace of life and death. He only felt that if he allowed the murderer of Guoxing to continue to live freely in front of his eyes, he would be very sorry for this subordinate who had just wanted to be loyal to him.
At this moment, he became a true swordsman.
Everything else is out of consideration.
Guan Zhongxie is not Lu Buwei. No history or movie has said that he can survive tonight.
Lu Niangrong, who was sitting in the seat, was as pale as paper.
No one understands Xiang Shaolong's mentality better than her that he will never give up until he kills Guan Zhongxie.
Just now, Guan Zhongxie, Xu Shang, and Lian Jiao were talking about shooting Guoxing in front of Xiang Shaolong's eyes.
At that time, she felt uneasy all over, knowing that Xiang Shaolong would never take this breath, but she still didn't expect that Xiang Shaolong would angrily challenge Guan Zhongxie as soon as he entered the scene.
Xiang Shaolong also has another factor to consider, which is that Guan Zhongxie's archery is too lethal. If there is a public confrontation in the future, as long as he draws his powerful bow, he doesn't know who can save his life. Therefore, if he can be eliminated early,
Waiting for Ruo Xian to save his own life or the life of someone like Teng Yi Jingjun.
This deep-seated fear in his subconscious prompted him to kill Guan Zhongxie first, no matter the cost.
The two of them saluted Xiaopan and Lu Buwei and Zhu Ji, who were sitting separately.
Wear weapons.
Until now, no one has made any sound.
The sword has not yet been unsheathed, but the entire hall has become cold and chilly due to the silence of everyone and the chilly atmosphere before the mountain rain. It seems that the pressure between the mouth and nose has increased sharply, making it difficult to breathe smoothly.
After the two of them looked at each other fiercely for a while, as if they were looking at prey, Guan Zhongxie arched his back slightly, arousing his momentum, which made him feel tense and breathless.
Xiang Shaolong's eyes flashed with cold light, but he didn't hold the Baizhan Sword and its sheath in his hand like he did last time. People couldn't figure out why he didn't learn how to put the scabbard to use like he did last time.
I saw him take a step forward quickly.
Guan Zhongxie's entire back arched, like an evil beast that wanted to devour anyone. Compared with the last time he faced Xiang Shaolong, his confidence and momentum were multiplied.
Xiang Shaolong was fearless.
These days, he gets up before the rooster crows every day to practice swordsmanship. He feels that his condition has reached the highest peak he has never reached since arriving in the space-time machine.
If you can't defeat Guan Zhongxie tonight, you won't be able to defeat him in the future.
certainly
It's just a pure feeling.
This may or may not be the case.
At this moment, Xiang Shaolong's sword of hundreds of battles came out of its sheath, turning into a flash of lightning that cut through the void, but it gave people a strange feeling of lightness and elegance, which was similar to the thunderous thunder from the previous trip, as if it was like a rainstorm.
Compared with the situation, it is even more indescribable.
Guan Zhongxie was obviously in a big accident, but of course he couldn't study and appreciate it carefully like others. He immediately marked forward, drew his sword, moved it, and quickly blocked it.
Both of their moves were as fast as lightning, making people almost unable to see clearly.
"when"
Guan Zhongxie took three steps back.
However, masters such as Han Jie, Xu Shang and others all realized that Guan Zhongxie was deliberately retreating, using his deft footwork and tactics to neutralize and wear down Xiang Shaolong's astonishing Hundred Battles sword technique.
Therefore, although Guan Zhongxie retreated three steps in a row, he did not show any signs of defeat.
Xiang Shaolong also didn't expect that Guan Zhongxie would adopt such a tactic, so he couldn't help but suffocated. When he was about to attack one after another, Guan Zhongxie's eyes flashed sharply, his tongue exploded with spring thunder, and he shouted wildly, as if a man had risen from the ground.
Jiao Lei stepped forward to bully his body, and quickly counterattacked with his sun-shooting sword. He lowered his wrist downwards first, and then raised it up diagonally. He hit Xiang Shaolong's lower abdomen, making it difficult for Xiang Shaolong to deal with it with slashes.
The nearly one thousand spectators who had been holding their breaths were even more horrified when they saw the powerful force of Guan Zhongxie's sword castration.
Xiang Shaolong snorted coldly, took a step sideways, and conjured up numerous waves of knives, sealing the space in his chest and abdomen.
With a "choking" sound, the two of them suddenly separated, and no one could take any advantage.
Guan Zhongxie was ecstatic in his heart, knowing that he had mastered the strategy to deal with Xiang Shaolong's amazing sword skills, which was to avoid a head-on fight and use his light and agile movements to deal with his solidity.
At that moment, Nao was still hesitant. Taking advantage of the main attack, the Sun Shooting Sword used a delicate and dense technique, like a Weaver Girl shuttling back and forth, and attacked Xiang Shaolong with mercury pouring down from the ground.
Xiang Shaolong's expression was solemn, and he sat down on his horse with his back hunched. His heart was filled with the painful emotion caused by the tragic death of the country, and he actually slashed straight with the Baizhan Sword, forcing Guan Zhongxie out of the shadow of the knife.
For a moment, the sword's light shines brightly, and it changes mysteriously, making it difficult for people to understand.
Although Guan Zhongxie tried his best to avoid collision with his sword, the swords still clashed.
Although there were only two heroes fighting in the field, everyone seemed to be watching the brutal charge of thousands of troops and horses, and the tragic scene ended with corpses strewn across the field and rivers of blood flowing.
At this time, Xiang Shaolong only had one thought in his mind, which was to quickly kill Guan Zhongxie. Nothing else mattered, including his own life.
He didn't know how many of Lu Buwei's treacherous plots were related to Guan Zhongxie, but his intelligence was definitely not inferior to that of Mo Ao, otherwise Lu Buwei would never have been willing to marry Lu Niangrong to him based on his strength alone.
If he couldn't kill Guan Zhongxie in one day, he would never have a good life.
Therefore, every move is a move to kill the enemy and use your life to win your life.
The "sonorous" sound filled the hall.
From the small players down, everyone was transfixed by the brutal battle between the two masters.
"when"
After a special agitation, Guan Zhongxie was finally forced to retreat by Xiang Shaolong's attack instead of defense.
Xiang Shaolong was pulled by the Qi machine, and he retreated while I stepped forward. With a long roar, he thrust out his sword and attacked. The waves of the sword were thick, and as he rushed forward, he rolled towards Guan Zhongxie like a tidal wave.
Guan Zhongxie felt unsustainable for the first time in his heart.
The sudden attack just now was very sure to kill Xiang Shaolong, but every move of the opponent was to exchange lives for lives. Therefore, although there were flaws everywhere, unless he was willing to die with Xiang Shaolong, There is simply no way to take advantage of those loopholes to attack.
Others might not understand why Xiang Shaolong abandoned the scabbard, but he painfully knew that this was Xiang Shaolong's brilliance. Because after his defeat last time, he had learned from the experience and had been studying how to deal with Xiang Shaolong. This strange tactic of using the right sword and left sheath was quite fruitful. Because it was difficult to concentrate on attacking and retreating with the sword in the sheath, and it also affected the agility of offense and defense, which made him think of a way to solve it. But this time Xiang Shaolongshe The scabbard was not used, which immediately made his planned strategy come to nothing.
But he was also able to make a decisive decision, retreat first and then attack, to regain the initiative and prevent Xiang Shaolong from wielding the astonishing power of the Hundred Battle Sword. Unexpectedly, Xiang Shaolong was firmly guarding the ground three feet away, but he used his fierce and incompetent force to do so. Pi's sword skills were able to cope with his wave after wave of attacks.
When he reached the end of his offensive, he could no longer maintain his strong momentum, and was finally driven back by Xiang Shaolong with a single blow.
How could he still be able to block Xiang Shaolong's sword of hundreds of battles in the mighty Yangtze River, where the stormy waves cracked its banks?
The cold murderous aura came over Xiang Shaolong's sword.
That terrifying feeling condensed into a psychological pressure as heavy as a mountain, locking Guan Zhongxie's soul and body, making him feel overwhelming for the first time.
Suddenly, he knew clearly that Xiang Shaolong had reached the master level of swordsmanship.
The people in the hall even stopped breathing, and it was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop. The sword of hundreds of battles merged into one with countless blade shadows, slashing the enemy quickly.
Guan Zhong was so timid that he couldn't see Xiang Shaolong's subsequent changes for a while.
"when"
The figures are suddenly separated.
When Guan Zhongxie staggered back, Xiang Shaolong's sword flashed again and he rushed to attack without giving the opponent any chance to regain the defeat.
Everyone on Lu Buwei's side changed their minds.
Lv Niangrong screamed: "Stop" and actually jumped out. Ignoring other people's shouts to stop, she ran towards the two of them.
Everyone was shocked.
"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang"
Xiang Shaolong quickly flew back.
It was obvious that Guan Zhongxie was struck. His sword fell from his hand and fell to the ground. He staggered and fell back into Lv Niangrong's arms. The two of them sat down on the ground at the same time.
Xiang Shaolong cried out that it was a pity that although Guan Zhongxie was seriously injured by this knife, it still could not kill him. They were all afraid of accidentally injuring Lu Niangrong, so they planned to kill him in advance while the opponent still had some strength left.
This gave Guan Zhongxie a small chance to take his life.
Blood stains appeared on both men's bodies at the same time.
Guan Zhongxie's blood stains were on the left side of his chest, and even his armor was cut open. This shows that he managed to avoid being stabbed in the critical moment. But he could not recover within a few months.
Xiang Shaolong's blood stains were between the crook of his left arm and his thigh.
Lu Niangrong screamed: "What's wrong with you?"
Guan Zhongxie's face was as pale as death, but he gritted his teeth and said to Xiang Shaolong: "Zhongxie has learned a lesson, and I will never forget this sword."
Lu Buwei jumped up and shouted: "Hurry up and save people and treat their injuries."
Xiang Shaolong felt tired in his heart. He didn't expect that under such an advantage, Lu Niangrong would still be given such an unexpected change to break his wishful thinking. It may be difficult for him to have such an ideal opportunity again in the future.
