Chapter 43 The reason for the competition
After secretly sighing that Mi Jinyu's thick skin was so thick that she was tongue-in-mouth, Liang An remembered Hong Wohu and said that Chen and Yu Kingdom held a civil and military competition every year, and asked curiously:
"Brother Hong, why do our Yu State and Chen State hold civil and military competitions every year?"
"I don't know." Hong Wohu shook his head: "This matter started when I was very young, and it has become a routine, so I didn't go into it."
"I know a little." Nangong Jian suddenly said, "This matter has to start fourteen years ago. At that time, His Majesty sent a delegation to Chen State to discuss the division of Yishan Mountain in Chenzhou County, but the delegation arrived at Chen.
The capital of the country was made difficult by the city gate guards. Later, a disciple of Taihao Palace who accompanied the delegation beat the city gate guards, which made Chen very angry and drove the delegation back directly. After that,
The two countries' affairs on Yishan became more and more intense, and the war almost started. But at that time, the king of Chen died suddenly and the new emperor ascended the throne. He was unwilling to pay more attention to this matter, so he sent an envoy to our country to trade.
…”
"Stop!" Hong Wohu raised his hand to stop Nangong Jian's words and said impatience: "So what does this have to do with the civil and military competition between the two countries?"
Nangong Jian raised his eyebrows, "What are you anxious about? I haven't finished talking yet! A lot of things have happened here..."
"Long story short!" Hong Wohu interrupted again.
Nangong Jian sighed helplessly: "Okay. Let's just tell me a long story short. Chen's mission later fought with our city gate guards. When His Majesty found out, he asked the person who caused the accident to go to Taihao Palace to find someone to discuss, but he was beaten to death.
After the defeat, the Chen State Mission did not seek any benefit in the Yishan issue. It is said that it was related to their lobbyist being dragged to discuss the Tao by the current crown prince Qi. So after the Chen State Mission returned to China,
The king was furious and sent another mission to the State of Chen. After a few times, His Majesty and Chen were both here and he lost.
The king of the country decided to compete for the two countries on the eighth day of the eighth month every year. Last year, we sent a delegation to Chen State, and this year they came."
"To put it bluntly, it was decided by the monarchs of the two countries because of face issues?" Hong Wohu concluded.
"That's it." Nangong Jian concluded.
Liang An felt speechless immediately.
He originally thought it was a civil and military competition created by the cooperation between the two countries or other important purposes, but the result was a matter of face.
Haha! The big thing happened to the monarch, and the people below were so busy.
He sighed inwardly, Liang Anhong's face was still not very good-looking, and he smiled and said, "Brother Hong, don't think so much, drink some wine. Aren't you here to be happy? You're so frowning."
Hong Wohu nodded, his expression slightly improved: "That's right! Just so happened that Brother Liang came here, Jingniang, come again to the pot of Hongyue wine... By the way, another girl will accompany my brother to have fun."
He looked at Liang An and smiled and said, "It was really thankful to Brother Liang just now. That guy Mi Jinyu actually used the mysterious artistic conception to suppress me. If it weren't for you, I might have suffered a great loss. Today I must not get drunk with you.
Don't return!"
"Cheers!" Nangong Jian and Wu Mian also raised them and were then stole.
Liang An shirked for a moment, but finally didn't refuse, so he could only drink with them.
They had just drunk a lot before, and the alcohol content of Hong Wohu later called the Hongyue wine. After a pot, the three of them were a little confused. Liang An had to call someone to help them down and rest.
As a brothel, Qingxuan Building does not lack places to rest, but is not in Yanleyuan, but in other courtyards.ωωw..net
As for himself, although he didn't drink much, he felt a little dizzy and his face was so hot that it might be because he had never drunk alcohol in his body in his life.
"Mr. Liang, are you okay? Why don't you take a break first? There is still a place to rest in the courtyard." The beauty who was called by Hong Wohu to accompany Liang An said with concern, and took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of Liang An's mouth.
Wine stains.
"It's okay." Liang An waited for her to wipe her mouth and stood up and said, "I will pay for their accounts together when I leave later. By the way, I'm looking for a book now, don't follow me."
After saying that, he walked straight to the corridor to collect books and started to touch it from the position interrupted by Hong Wohu.
...
Honglu Temple.
Mi Jinyu walked towards her room with a slightly gloomy face, but was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Mr. Mi, where are you going? Lord Nanguo is looking for you!"
Mi Jinyu glanced at the man and nodded, "I understand."
After saying that, he ignored the man and walked straight in the other direction, and came to a room and knocked on the door.
"Mr. Nanguo, I heard you are looking for me."
"Come in." An old and indifferent voice came from the house.
Mi Jinyu pushed open the door and walked in, and saw an old man with white hair and beard writing something in front of the desk in a loose Taoist robe. In addition to him, there were four people in the room, all of whom were young people of similar age.
"Jinyu, do you go out and see if you find anything?" asked one of the young men.
Mi Jinyu nodded, "I have visited most restaurants in the past two days, and it is a bit of a gain. Yu State is different from our Chen State. It has a strong suppression of the forces in the martial arts world. There are very few experts who can be seen, and it seems that they are all restricted.
The sect resident is not allowed to move around at will, unlike our Chen State who is free. Therefore, on the surface, the martial arts practitioners in the Yu State seem to be inferior to our Chen State. But if you look closely, their masters are not weak! When I came back just now,
I happened to see a master who seemed to be a nurse in a certain aristocratic family. I planned to get close to him, but I didn't expect that the young master was also a master of asking for Xuan. And his sense of asking for Xuan is no worse than mine."
"Oh?" The old man suddenly looked up: "You have the opportunity. The profound artistic conception of the mystery is that ordinary masters of magic dare not say that they are better than you. Can that young master compare with you?"
Mi Jinyu nodded again: "It's true. I competed with his thoughts on the mysterious mood for a while. It was like being in the rain. If we divided it according to our division, his thoughts on the mysterious has reached the third realm of the magical truth."
"Is that young man from Taihao Palace also?" another young man asked.
"I don't know much about this." Mi Jinyu shook his head: "He knows a disciple of Taihao Palace, but the other two disciples do not know him, and they still need to introduce each other, unlike people from Taihao Palace.
Taihao Palace is different from ordinary sects of the rivers and lakes. Their disciples may also be disciples of other sects of the rivers and lakes, but they are just in the name of Taihao Palace."
"What's his name?" the old man asked.
"Liang Lesheng." Mi Jinyu retelled the name he heard.
"I will check his background." The old man nodded slightly and smiled: "I have already negotiated with the Emperor of Yu. This time, the martial arts competition will only be compared with Qingying for five games. If Dongfang is sure to take action, you will be the one who can do it.
