Emperor Que Shaohua

The school field competition is carried out day by day. There are four arenas in total and there are three parties facing each other, so some small strategies can be used.Both Beiliao and Yijin found that it was not an easy task to use all the strength of both parties to jointly attack Yuzhou instead of internal friction in accordance with the original verbal agreement.

For example, after the first day of the competition, Beiliao occupied Chiyan Terrace, and Yijin defended Hurricane Terrace.As a result, when the time came the next day, everyone entered the arena and rushed to the selected arena.Then Liao and Jin realized that something was wrong, because the young warriors of Yuzhou split into two groups as if they had made an appointment in advance, and went to Xuanshui on the east side and Bingfeng on the west side respectively, ignoring the other two. An arena guarded by one's own people.

So there was such a scene in the school field that day: almost all Liao people and Jin people were in the audience of Chi Yan and Hurricane Lei, and a few Yu Zhou's children who entered by mistake without getting any information beforehand saw this scene and simply gave up. After the competition of the day, he withdrew as he was and went to watch outside the competition area.As a result, in half of the field, the Beiliao and Yijin warriors stared wide-eyed.If you want to fight, Yu Zhou will make it clear that you will ignore you. If you don't fight, will so many people just stand there for a day or just resign and leave?The scene is too much to say.It must be known that Emperor Tianyi only came in person on the first day, and during the rest of the school year, some Yuzhou people were allowed to enter to watch the competition, so the surrounding area was crowded, but seeing the crowd watching, pointing and pointing, there was a lot of discussion and talk: the two of them Isn't the country vying to marry our princess? Why don't they attack each other's ring?It's okay for Yi Jin to be afraid of Beiliao, but Beiliao is still so courteous to Yi Jin now?Sure enough, it was impossible after the defeat; or, could it be that the two countries have no sincerity at all, and they conspired to come to our capital to make trouble, so what is the use of martial arts, and they are all expelled directly.

No matter how colluded Beiliao and Yijin were, they were not monolithic with each other, and the warriors were even more irritable and could not be provoked.So after coming and going, the two arenas also handed over.Anyway, there is only one princess, and no matter how they advance and retreat together, it is also a competitive relationship, and in the end they have to tear their faces apart.At first, there was restraint, but everyone went to the end. The problem is that as long as there is a competition, there will be a winner or loser. After the victory is divided, you have to save face. Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second. The level does not seem to be under the arena of the other two three national wars.In the afternoon, when Ming Jin withdrew his troops, the warriors of the Liao and Jin Dynasties were all suffocating, and they were about to escalate to the point where they were glaring and tense.

On that day, Yuzhou's two rings still belonged to Yuzhou, but the other two were all occupied by Beiliao.On the third day, apart from guarding the original position, Yu Zhou sent some of his men to attack the Red Flame Terrace in Beiliao, but ignored the other one.The Hurricane Thunder Terrace was snatched by Beiliao from Yijin yesterday. Of course, the Yijin warriors had no reason to leave it alone, holding their breath and wanting to snatch it back. It was worse than the day before yesterday.

The third prince Yelu and Prince Wanyan were both annoyed and helpless with the current situation. No one thought that the tacit understanding of mutual use would be broken after only one day.The positions of the two of them are also quite different, even if Wanyan Chao can disregard his face, Yelu Shibao must save Beiliao's face.

Besides, people all over the world watched helplessly, even if Prince Wanyan wanted to be shameless, he had to have a limit, he couldn't let this contest provoked by Yi Jin turn into slapping himself in public every day.

The two knew that Yu Zhou was deliberately provoking, but they still couldn't help being suspicious of each other and full of evil fire.When they met each other in Guanwu Tower, their expressions inevitably turned cold, but they had the same thought: Yu Zhou's King Ning was so young, how could he be so cunning?Those young knights who are full of blood actually really listen to him.

On the fourth day, Yu Zhou didn't make any more intentional arrangements, but the situation of the Three Kingdoms melee had already been established. Whenever a person on one side of the ring was knocked down, the warriors from the other two sides would applaud loudly from the audience.

In this state, it is not easy for any country to keep occupying a ring.According to the rules, if you win three games in a row, you can get a rest, but even a master with a long internal strength will still find it difficult if the scene is too big and the people who attack are constantly coming.

Just like Fan Yin defended Xuanshui Terrace for three days, Shushen lost to a warrior in Pinwu Hall on the fourth day, but fortunately he was not injured.When the day was coming to an end, Fang Lan seized the opportunity to snatch the ring back.

King Jing also went to Guanwulou to see it twice. Luo Pingyuan discussed with him every night the next step of deployment, and he adjusted his response according to the situation during the day.This is not just a war of attrition, a proper strategy is crucial.Yu Zhou wanted to occupy a certain advantage, but also not let his own people wear out too much. Every master should try his best to use it wisely.

In this way, at the end of the fifth day, the situation in the martial arts arena was the same as the first day. Fang Lan stayed temporarily as the master of Xuanshuitai. Bingfengtai, Beiliao and Yijin occupy Chiyan and Hurricane.

Originally it was going to be a ten-day consecutive competition, but King Ning felt that his side had to defend more arenas, and of course it was harder than the other two countries, so he asked Emperor Tianyi to insert two days of rest. Three days, one more rest day, and the final two days to determine the winner.

Liao and Jin did not raise any objections, and it was no longer possible to talk about waiting for work at ease in the melee, and they also needed to recuperate.

For five or six days in a row, the streets of Los Angeles were almost empty by thousands of people. The emperor did not come, and weapons were used in martial arts competitions. Every day, tens of thousands of people crowded around the school grounds to watch the swords, swords, fists and feet fighting. People around here who don't know each other are pointing out the country and discussing the scene of the martial arts competition.

However, what people don't know is that Chonghua Palace is not very peaceful.In the past few days, traces of being invaded by outsiders were found two or three times in the palace.There are quite a few places to haunt, including important places such as Qingliang Palace and Yushufang, as well as unimportant places such as Feiyun Pavilion and the Inner Court Supervisor. Lanting Palace and other palaces of the concubines who are favored by concubines have also noticed something strange. Once tried to enter the heavily guarded inner library.

Judging from the various traces left behind, there should be only one or two infiltrators, and wherever they went, the utensils were often moved and the cabinets were half opened.There were several maids in the court who saw the figure one after another, but their movements were extremely fast, not to mention the appearance, it was difficult to determine the fat or thin body, they could only say that they caught a glimpse of a shadow or a few pieces of clothes.

Li Pinglan, the commander of the palace, was quite troubled by this: This person who trespassed in the palace was not like an assassin. If he was a thief, there were no precious treasures stolen from anywhere in the palace. Suet white jade ring, although it is also very valuable, but no matter how you look at it, it is just stealing the sheep; if it is not for stealing treasures, what do you want to do every time you look around and wander around, come to the palace if you have nothing to do?

Now there are unknown how many warriors from the Liao and Jin Dynasties have flocked to the capital, and everyone speculates that some of the masters must have sneaked into the palace to spy on the troubles.Although no substantial harm was caused, this is the Chonghua Palace where the emperor resides. How can there be no panic when someone enters and exits indiscriminately?

Emperor Tianyi was not only annoyed, he felt ashamed at the thought of someone who could easily come and go in the palace; moreover, this thief seemed to be wandering around, but in fact he even knew which concubine had a higher status in the harem and where they lived.Regardless of whether it is provocation by foreign barbarians or not, there must be an insider who betrayed the palace's intelligence, both of which are absolutely intolerable and must be strictly investigated.

The emperor issued a decree to arrest Xiaoxiao and interrogate him within a time limit. The pressure on the imperial guards suddenly increased. Li Pinglan arranged the defense of the inner court more tightly. Wulin can count on ten fingers, and even fewer of them happen to be in Los Angeles.Is the other party's move aimed at him, or is there another secret?

With his cautious personality, he wouldn't say anything if he didn't get it. He just sent someone to inform Luo Yanhua and asked him to strengthen his guard in the mansion.

The martial arts competition rested for a day, and when the competition started again, there was a faint chill atmosphere that was not there in the past few days. It was not so obvious on the sixth day, but on the seventh day, everyone could feel that the situation was getting tense. On the contrary, the number of people in the ring has decreased, but each of them is a person with a name and surname, and there is a faint sense of hand-to-hand combat.

Some warriors who came to join the battle on their own hadn't been in the ring a few days ago, but they couldn't get in at this time. The level on the stage is far higher than their own, and it would be a joke to delay things if they came forward, and some people withdrew.

The military power of the Three Kingdoms was also revealed. The number and strength of warriors on the side of the Northern Liao Dynasty were superior to those of the Yi and Jin.This is also reasonable. It should be known that the roots of Zhongtu martial arts are far-reaching, and it does have the advantage of Zhongzheng's profoundness from the source.However, the warriors recruited from the Liao and Jin Dynasties from their own countries and from the Western Regions tended to be of different paths or odd schools. Although it cannot be said who is stronger and who is weaker, but they are both young martial arts practitioners, and under the premise that their aptitude and hard work are similar, Yu Zhoufang Ultimately better at winning.

Xuanshui Terrace is always the most fiercely contested place.On the morning of the seventh day, Fang Lan fought with a warrior from the Northern Liao Dynasty, and a piece of his sleeve was cut off by the opponent's long knife. I had no choice but to beat him disgruntled.

Tang Yu was about to pick up, but was stopped by Nangong Jin: "Mr. Tang, wait a minute. Sect Master Jiang said that it will be good for us if you go up later. I will come."

According to King Jing's intention, as long as Mr. Tang has not made a move, the deterrence caused by the audience is better than occupying a ring early, so there is no need to rush to fight.

Tang Yu stopped walking a little depressed. He had been watching for so many days, and he really wanted to show his skills and kill the world, but the overall situation was the most important, so he could only watch Nangong Jin's clothes fluttering up, and surrounded by admiration and applause. Xuanshuitai was taken back again.

At the end of the eighth day, the number of rings occupied by the three parties is still two, one, and one. It is doubtful whether no matter how the comparison is made, this is the final result.

After the show ended, Yelu Shibao was still sitting in the Guanwu Building, and did not return to the post house immediately.He didn't have time to come here every day, and the command and scheduling were handed over to Ji Wuya and Ouyang Yinian.However, there always seemed to be some discrepancy between the two, and the arrangements were not handy enough. It felt like a decisive victory was about to be won, and Yu Zhou's details had not yet been figured out.No matter how big or small the force used by his own side is, Yu Zhou has steadily maintained the current situation.

There were some twists and turns today: when the time was approaching, Beiliao captured the Bingfeng Terrace, Yu Zhou did not counterattack, but there was a sudden change on the Chiyan Terrace. Xiang Gongfu drew a sword on the warrior guarding the ring.

Chiyan Terrace has been controlled by Beiliao since the first day of the competition, and today's sudden loss makes people angry, and there is no sense of victory if they occupy Bingfeng Terrace.Moreover, neither Nangong Jin nor that Yunxiao is an ordinary romantic figure. Once they stood on the stage, they immediately attracted countless attention and compliments, which greatly overshadowed the limelight of the martial artists in their own country.

Another thing made Yelu Shibao doubtful, Beiliao tried so hard to keep only one ring, and Yi Jin was clearly not as strong, so why was he still able to occupy the same ring?At the current stage, he has shown no mercy. Could it be that Yu Zhou did it on purpose again?As a result, Wanyan Chao's arrogance is still undiminished, and he looks like he is on an equal footing with him.

Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the compartment opened, and the personal guard came in and said, "Third Prince, Prince Wanyan came to say hello to you."

No need to report, Yelu Shibao also saw Wanyan Chao standing outside the door with a smile, and walked in without waiting for anyone to invite: "The third prince has been talking about peace for the past few days, and he is also concerned about fighting. You can see it in your eyes and feel admiration in your heart.”

"I don't dare to be an envoy. Since as an envoy, it is my duty to do my best for the country's affairs." Yelu Shibao is tired of seeing this person now, and Yijin's constraints on his mission are really not small. Pili Yangqiu's attitude flashed in front of his eyes, if he hadn't still had a bit of city power, his face would darken as soon as he saw him: "Wanyan Shizi still wants to stay here for a while? Forgive me, I still have some important things to do, so I have to excuse you gone."

"That's a good point. I'm doing my best for the country, and I'm an envoy of gold, and I share the same heart." Wan Yanchao still had a smile on his face, and slightly elongated his tone, "In a foreign country, negotiations are difficult, and competitions are difficult. I'm sure, if I lose the ring in two days, I'm afraid there will be no hope of courtship, and this peace agreement will also lose hope, so it's no wonder the third prince will be depressed."

He didn't wait for Yelu Shibao to change his face, and sighed first: "My Wanyan Chao's situation is not much better, and I can't help myself these days. Thinking that Yu Zhou intends to sow discord, should we just let ourselves be manipulated? The third prince Let's not hurry, I have a good suggestion, I don't know if I want to hear it?"

Yelu Shibao saw that his tone was changing, and he spoke in twists and turns, not knowing what his intentions were, so he waved his hand to signal the two personal guards to retreat outside, and said after the door was closed: "What do you think, Prince Wanyan, you might as well say it clearly."

"I've been thinking about it for the past few days. Liao and Jin are allies. There's really no need to hurt peace by marrying a princess and let Yu Zhou benefit from it." Wan Yanchao said with a smile, "I didn't have a close relationship with the third prince in the past, so I feel very sad." I admire the closeness, and now I am destined to be in Luocheng together, but I don't want to miss the good opportunity to make friends. When it comes to the last two days of the martial arts competition, I can ask my subordinates to give up the ring, and order them to fully assist Pin Wutang in dealing with Yu and Zhou warriors. As long as Beiliao If you can win the contest and get a marriage contract, the peace talks will naturally go smoothly. Yu Zhou can't treat his son-in-law badly for the sake of face, can't he? As for me, I spent my energy and lost my reputation to complete the mission of the third prince. I want to come to respect Reciprocating peaches and plums will definitely not make me return empty-handed, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."

Yelu Shibao sneered in his heart, he really wanted to take advantage of the fire to loot, after waiting for a long time, he finally saw the right time to pick it out.

He wanted to hear what conditions the other party wanted, so he said, "It's good that Prince Wanyan is willing to give in and help, but he doesn't know what he wants from me?"

"Speaking of it, the third prince is just a little effort." Wan Yanchao said, "I heard that the peace talks are not progressing smoothly. The Yu and Zhou courts are full of reasoning, but they don't give up when it comes to the substance. I will help you in the selection process. Two gains. Although the princess is beautiful, she can give it up for the sake of friendship, and she will never intend to get involved; as for wealth, since it is obtained through joint efforts, no matter how much gold, silver, silk and grain Yu Zhou promises to Beiliao, our country only needs to share it. One-third is enough. I don't know what the third prince wants?"

Yelu Shibao's face was a little ugly. The peace agreement has been negotiated for more than ten days, and Beiliao has suffered setbacks everywhere.Just like what he was worried about at first, Yu Zhou was unwilling to give ready-made benefits, and even pushed back and forth to release the prisoners of war, almost based on King Ning's suggestion.In terms of mutual trading and dispatching craftsmen, they agree to provide convenience, but there are prerequisites; judging from the current situation, it may be even more difficult for Beiliao to get money and materials for free as in the past.

But Yelu Shibao felt that he was in a dilemma. After his hole cards were seen through, he had almost no chips in his hand, and it was a bluff in the eyes of the opponent.And the princes and officials of this country have long been used to not paying any price. There will be a food shortage.

However, the situation is not as embarrassing as Wan Yanchao said. The court of Yu and Zhou gave some leeway for relaxation in the past two days. Li Furen proposed that he was willing to donate 25 shi of grain to see the sincerity of sending envoys from the Northern Liao Dynasty to travel all the way. , [-] bolts of silk cloth, to be brought back when returning home.Calculated, it can be equivalent to more than [-] taels of silver, and if the food is frugal, it will be enough for the middle school to survive this spring.

Yelu Shibao had already calculated that if he took these gifts back home, he would not be able to call himself a meritorious service, but he could barely block Yelu Shicai's mouth.He didn't know if Yu Zhou had calculated it in advance, and he felt a chill down his back after being slightly relieved.It is said that the information about the Northern Liao Dynasty is mainly provided by the subordinates of King Jing's faction. How long did it take to prepare to such an extent?Fortunately, this great enemy is about to be eliminated, and it must be done quickly, before Yu Zhou's court understands the value of this person enough, while there are still disputes and jealousy among them.

Of course, Yelu Shibao didn't intend to be satisfied with this, he led the crowd to come, and he must accomplish several major things.It's just that I didn't expect that the little profit I just won was being observed and calculated.His voice could not help but cool down: "It is unexpected that Prince Wanyan cares so much about my peace talks in Beiliao, but this cup of tea is too easy to share."

Wan Yanchao believed that he was in a difficult situation and would definitely choose to cooperate. He said with a leisurely smile: "The three countries are adjacent, what happens between your country and Yuzhou is naturally the top priority of my Yijin, and I can't care too much. I will work hard and mobilize the people. , came all the way from thousands of miles, although they wanted to get back the previous place from Yu Zhou, but in the final analysis, it was for the third prince. Speaking of profit, Yi Jin borrowed [-] troops to help the Northern Liao battle last year, but all of them were lost outside Shao'an city , The loss is not small. Now that peace is being negotiated, it is impossible to leave Yijin aside and have nothing to gain, otherwise my father and king will not be able to explain to the subjects."

He talked eloquently, and it sounded reasonable. Yelu Shibao frowned and said, "I didn't take care of the borrowing of soldiers back then. I heard that I, the leader of the Northern Liao Dynasty, had already paid the reward, and said that if you agree, you will be at your own risk. There are no spoils to be had in the battle." The division is also helpless, the son suddenly wants to make amends in the peace agreement, but it is a bit difficult."

"The third prince has an honorable status, and he has a long way to go in Yuzhou. At the critical moment, he sacrificed some small profits to pursue big things. Instead of being blamed, the Lord of Liao will praise him for his decisiveness." Wanyan Chao said, "Imagine getting the princess and getting a peace agreement. , What a joyous scene it is when the clothes are in full glory, who would dare to say no after seeing such credit? But they are so incompetent, they are destined to cooperate this time, and they are willing to help the third prince in the future. There is no need to do anything now , as long as you write down a document of commitment and stamp it with your seal, you and I can work together to defeat Yu Zhou, what does the third prince think?"

He was eloquent, and his words were not pleasant to listen to. At other times, Yelu Shibao would inevitably nod his head, and began to enter the stage of asking for prices and paying back the money on the ground.

However, even though Wanyanchao seized the opportunity, in Yelu Shibao's eyes, there was very little he could do to help.Yi Jin's force was neither as strong as Beiliao's nor Yuzhou's. Even if they helped each other in the last two days of the arena, at most they could help win one ring; On their own.

More importantly, he and Luo Wenxiao had already made an agreement that even if only one or two people from Beiliao entered the final stage, they would be sure to win. Compared to Yijin's lion who opened his mouth, this Crown Prince can play a big role There is no need to pay a price, which is really cost-effective.

Yelu Shibao did draw a picture in his mind of returning with the victory and returning home in Beiliao, which was more complacent than Wan Yanchao's description, but he believed that his next arrangement was enough to achieve his goal.As for watching and helping each other in the future, it can be ignored directly.Yi Jin has always been fickle, treacherous and capricious. After seeing what Yan Chao has done since his mission, he knows that he is not trustworthy.The envoy's seal he carried represented Beiliao, and it was not easy to go back on it once it was stamped.

Yelu Shibao made up his mind that the transaction cannot be done, but he still tried his best not to offend the villain in front of him.The other party should not dare to turn against him openly, but it wouldn't be worth it if he got tripped up secretly in Los Angeles.Thinking of this, he smiled slightly: "I am very kind to Prince Wanyan's proposal, but it's a big matter, and it's really not good to go beyond the father and make the decision without authorization. That's great, we can do our best in the next two days of competition, No matter what the result is, whether or not I can win against Yu Zhou, when I return to Zhaolin, I will definitely report my son's intentions to my father, try my best to win some benefits for Yi and Jin, and it will not be in vain to have a meeting as envoys in Luocheng."

He has always spoken beautifully, and his words are very polite, taking care of each other's face and not agreeing to anything.

Wanyan Chao couldn't help being startled, he lobbied for a long time, but was blocked back by the third prince with a single sentence, no matter how nice the words were, he refused, how could he not understand the flavor of them.When he wanted to persuade him again, Yelu Shibao's attitude had already been made clear, that is, he could not make the decision, he could not promise anything, and no matter how much he negotiated, it would be in vain.

When it came to this, all he could do was say a few polite words and leave.

Turning around and leaving the cubicle, Wanyan Chao's eyes immediately darkened. Yelu Shibao seemed to care about face, but in fact he was perfunctory and casual. He didn't take his plan into consideration at all, which was more than a stern refusal Contempt; return in vain and be underestimated, he will make this person pay the price.
