Dark cloud like condensing above the Taiji Hall vault, the slightly cool wind sways the dragon flag, sends out pū pū light sound. 乌云如同凝聚在太极殿的穹顶上方,微凉的风吹拂龙旗,发出‘噗噗’的轻响。 As the time approaches, outside Taiji Hall Baiyu Square peripheral gathered completely the person, even if were only the royal courtier powerful official, gathered over a thousand people, in addition Imperial Guards and Wolf Guards wait/etc., swept to be bustling and filled with people densely and numerously, talked to gather to appear several points of noisy in a soft voice. 随着时间渐近,太极殿外白玉广场周边聚满了人,哪怕只是朝臣权贵,也足足聚集了上千人,加上御林军狼卫等,一眼扫过去密密麻麻人头攒动,轻声交谈汇聚起来显出了几分嘈杂。 Under Taiji Hall, several case stages set up in an array, several government officials of Ministry of Rites takes a seat with the Northern Qi envoy talks. Xiao Chuyang and other Three Dukes and Nine Ministers are depending on the central the position, waits for Emperor to arrive peacefully. 太极殿下方,几张案台一字排开,礼部的几个官吏在其中就坐与北齐的使臣交谈。萧楚杨三公九卿则在靠中心的位置,安静等待天子到场。 Grand Minister of Agriculture Lu Cheng'an sits near the left hand of Xiao Chuyang, looks to the falling hair of distant place the Northern Qi official's robe middle-aged man, the brow slightly pressed opens the mouth was saying: 大司农陆承安坐在萧楚杨的左手边,看向远处的一个披发着北齐官袍中年男子,眉头微蹙开口道: Minister Xiao, what Northern Qi this coming is Left Side Prince hand/subordinate adviser Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan this person passing on a message thoughts are meticulous, has not grasped will not provoke rashly, today this will compare notes is not perhaps smooth.” 萧相,北齐这次过来的是左亲王手下谋士陈轩,陈轩此人传言心思缜密,没有把握不会贸然挑衅,今天这场切磋恐怕不会顺风顺水。” The Xiao Chuyang expression is calm forever, pondered over slightly under: Your Majesty ten years ago Iron Eagle Hunting Deer involves oversized, causing Great Yue martial artist almost to be unable to recover. Perhaps today if lost the inevitable cry of discontent to rise from all directions...... Chen Xuan also hits this attention, when Your Majesty will choose Ten Martial Leaders sent people to challenge the enemy to battle, can win to damage my Great Yue soldiers and civilians morale, lost finished does not damage the Northern Qi slightest...... the opposite party to come, Your Majesty also has no alternative but to meet.” 萧楚杨表情永远波澜不惊,略微琢磨了下:“圣上十年前‘铁鹰猎鹿’牵连过大,致使大玥武人几乎一蹶不振。今日若输了必然怨声四起……陈轩恐怕也是打得这个注意,才会在圣上十武魁的时候派人叫阵,能赢可损我大玥军民士气,输了却不损北齐分毫……不过对方过来,圣上也不能不接。” Lu Cheng'an nods gently: By Minister Xiao, the odds of success has several tenths?” 陆承安轻轻点头:“以萧相来看,胜算有几成?” Xiao Chuyang is not martial artist, naturally does not know that has several tenths, in an instant looked to highest ranked military officer Liu Pingyang. 萧楚杨不是武人,自然不知道有几成,转眼看向了太尉刘平阳 Liu Pingyang always holds the Great Yue military power, itself martial arts is also good, at this time said with a smile lightly: 刘平阳总掌大玥兵权,本身武艺也不俗,此时轻笑道: Minister Xiao feels relieved then, did not say the Great Yue soldiers and civilians, light/only the Chang'an City then 1 million military people, Your Majesty was prepared previously, Northern Qi that boy, even if the master has the famous expert, wants to press my Great Yue one generation of is still dream of a fool.” 萧相放心即可,不说大玥军民,光长安城便有百万武夫,圣上早先就有准备,北齐那小子即便师出名家,想压我大玥一代人也是痴人说梦。” The Xiao Chuyang light nod, has not appraised. 萧楚杨平淡点头,对此没有评价。 But by case stage of distant place, after Northern Qi envoy Chen Xuan and Great Yue government official chatted several, set out to arrive at the rear side hall in a room. 而远处的案台旁,北齐使臣陈轩大玥官吏闲谈几句后,起身来到后方偏殿了一个房间内。 The window of room, longhaired young people are holding the sword by the window, takes a look at the Great Yue aristocracy military and political leaders, in the eye has several points not to bear. 房间的窗口,一个长发披肩的年轻人抱着剑靠在窗口,打量着大玥王侯将相,眼中带着几分不耐。 Nearby the Chen Xuan appearance is elegant, arrives lifts the hand gently: Yezi, then must go on stage later, preparation how?” 陈轩面相文雅,走到跟前轻轻抬手:“夜子,待会便要上场,准备的如何?” Zuo Yezi even/including head has not transferred: Has just now met face to face, is some small fish small shrimp, how also does not know in the Chang'an blending eminent. In the past my Great Qi established the capital in Chang'an, under a Martial Leader reputation did not have more than hundred corpses, identified one's role when first coming on stage embarrassed, perhaps that several juniors, the person have not even killed.” 左夜子连头也没转:“方才打过照面,都是些小鱼小虾,也不知如何在长安混成翘楚。当年我大齐定都长安,一个武魁名头下面没百余具尸首,都不好意思自报家门,那几个小辈,恐怕连人都没杀过。” Chen Xuan esteems martial arts to become common practice to this appraisal not accidental/surprised —— Central Plain common people, Great Yue is also establish a country through military force, originally the hero pours forth. But ten years ago Great Yue Emperor thought that martial artist disregarded law and discipline to have a dusk to incur, swept away Jianghu to break the backbone of Great Yue martial artist with the cavalry directly, until now the evil consequence has appeared, Great Yue Jianghu almost divided into periods, depends entirely on the older generations to support, in new generation God's favored one, all was in the greenhouse the embroidering pillow that used gold and silver family property to pile. 陈轩对这番评价毫不意外——中原百姓尚武成风,大玥也是以武立国,本来英杰辈出。可十年前大玥皇帝觉得武人目无法纪出了个昏招,用铁骑横扫江湖直接把大玥武人的脊梁骨打断了,时至今日恶果已经显现,大玥江湖几乎断代,全靠老一辈在撑着,新生代中的‘天之骄子’,无不是温室里用金银家业堆出来的绣花枕头。 But Northern Qi is different, carries the national humiliation, struggles to get by Outer Mongolia that the bird does not lay an egg, the Central Plain powerful enemy is aggressive, some young people of reputation fill in the head/number of people. 北齐则不同,身负国耻,在鸟不生蛋的漠北挣扎度日,还有中原强敌咄咄逼人,有些名头的年轻人都是拿人头填出来的。 Zuo Yezi then proposes the blade murder from six years old, after doing obeisance into the Imperial Preceptor hanger-on , the scholarship three years, then threw in the thousand li (500 km) desert informed and experienced, for daily Yeye ate water and mounted bandit is bathed in blood to slaughter. Until now the year only 18, the cutting edge has actually licked the blood nine years, the killed person does not record including oneself clear, by having martial arts, rare rival in the Northern Qi contemporaries, but has not become an official officially. 左夜子从六岁起便提刀杀人,拜入国师门下后学艺三年,便扔到了千里沙漠中历练,日日夜夜为了一口吃食一口水和马匪浴血厮杀。时至今日才年仅十八,却已经刀口舔血了九年,杀的人连自己都记不清,论起武艺,在北齐同龄人中罕有敌手,只是未曾正式出山罢了。 Chen Xuan looked to stand one group of Great Yue aristocrat and noble children near square, said in a soft voice: martial artist spoke with the blade, today is the first war that you left the mountain, must hit was more attractive, must fall not the reputation of your master.” 陈轩看了看站在广场附近的一帮大玥王公贵子,轻声道:“武人用刀说话,今日是你出山的第一战,要打了漂亮些,莫要坠了你师父的名头。” Zuo Yezi does not have the least bit expression: „If only these people, does not need Mr. Chen to be worried that...... heard Chang'an has Mei Qusheng, was known as that ‚a sword moves Chang'an, my time comes is thinks that can he, how not have to come?” 左夜子没有半点表情:“若只是这些人,不用陈先生担心……听说长安有个梅曲生,号称‘一剑动长安’,我这次过来是想会会他,怎么没来?” Chen Xuan shakes the head: green bamboo plum liquor, the free and unfettered accompanies Qu Sheng. If he, me will then not lead you to come. Mei Qusheng had left Chang'an the year before last, Chang'an City now is fiercest, only has King Su Heir Apparent Xu Buling.” 陈轩摇了摇头:“青竹梅子酒,逍遥伴曲生。若是他在,我便不会带你来。梅曲生前年已经离开了长安,长安城现在最厉害的,只有肃王世子许不令。” Zuo Yezi reveals several points of disappointment, said indifferently: In the past in the desert, I heard that name surnamed Xu, then pursued, his Matthew hao has not only caught up pitifully...... looked under the trace at that time, the mounted bandit den no one kept the entire corpse, regardless of the troops were all split up, if not for saw outside the bandit's lair the pile Capital view, I also think that was the pack of wolves behavior, truly fierce like individual...... did not hear that in him Locking Dragon Gu, had abandoned.” 左夜子露出几分失望,淡然道:“当年在沙漠,我听到那姓许的名字,便追了过去,只可惜他的马太好没追上……当时看了下痕迹,马匪老巢无一人留全尸,无论人马皆四分五裂,若不是看到匪巢外堆的‘京观’,我还以为是狼群所为,确实厉害的不像个人……不过听说他中了锁龙蛊,已经废了。” Chen Xuan nods gently, the look is slightly contemptuous: „The Great Yue princes, If nothing else, played the plot to plan absolutely first-class, with lord who Locking Dragon Gu plotted to murder the Western Liang cavalries, does not know that is strategy that which pig brain wants to come out.” 陈轩轻轻点头,眼神略显轻蔑:“大玥的帝王将相,别的不说,玩阴谋算计绝对一流,用锁龙蛊谋害西凉铁骑的主子,也不知是哪个猪脑子想出来的计策。” Zuo Yezi shrugs: Upholds justice always the slaughter dog generation, heartless many are the scholar, land under heaven has decided cannot unload the grinding to kill the donkey, the land, wishes two big swordsmanship grandmaster life frank, because was not only obedient said that killed killed, but also used was the dirty method, now extinguishes Xu Family had unusually what......, Xu Family was extinguished also well by Great Yue Dynasty, or will change the entrance to throw my Great Qi, Left Side Prince has a dream will smile to awake.” 左夜子耸了耸肩:“仗义每多屠狗辈,负心多是读书人,天下已定不就得卸磨杀驴,陆、祝两大剑道宗师一生光明磊落,只因不听话说杀就杀了,还用的是龌龊手段,如今灭许家有什么稀奇的……唉,许家大玥朝廷自己灭了也好,或者改换门庭投我大齐,左亲王做梦都会笑醒。” Chen Xuan shakes the head: Xu Family eventually is Xu Family, clings to tenaciously the entrance 60 years not to draw back half step, the perishing clan genocide is impossible to throw Great Qi. The Xu Lie remaining prestige still, Great Yue Emperor does not dare to be ruthless again stupidly, but gets down from the Xu Family body cut point meat now, waits for the Imperial Preceptor arrange/cloth to end the bureau the potential the time, coping with Xu Family is also more relaxed.” 陈轩摇了摇头:“许家终究是许家,死守国门六十载未退半步,亡族灭种也不可能投大齐许烈余威尚在,大玥皇帝再昏庸也不敢赶尽杀绝,不过现在从许家身上割点肉下来,等国师布完局起势的时候,对付许家也轻松些。” Two come under attack, Xu Family is also very pitiful...... changes into is my Great Qi son, already instead.” “两头挨打,许家也挺可怜……换成是我大齐男儿,早就反了。” Hehe...... this is not bullies the honest and good-natured person, who makes the Xu Family whole families loyal and heroic, monarch make the feudal official dead feudal official have dead......” “呵呵……这不就是欺负老实人嘛,谁让许家满门忠烈,君让臣死臣不得不死……” ------ ------ In the Taiji Hall side veranda, Empress Dowager leads Xu Buling and a palace maid walks gradually, arrives at bead curtain blocking soft on the couch to sit down, Xu Buling sat in nearby small case, side was the Song Clan royalty. 太极殿侧面的游廊上,太后带着许不令和一众宫女缓步行走,来到了珠帘遮挡的软榻上坐下,许不令则坐在了旁边的小案上,旁边是宋氏皇族。 Previous time in the reason that the female celestial bridge played, attitude of Empress Dowager to Xu Buling changed much, the matter of bellyband did not ask that after Xiao Ting cast off, then says a word the compatible inquiry: 上次在仙女桥游玩的缘故,太后许不令的态度改了不少,连肚兜的事儿都不问了,把萧庭甩开后,便言语亲和的询问: Buling, can Ning Yuhe once teach you for these days the sword technique?” 不令,这几天宁玉合可曾教你剑术?” Because the surroundings have the person, a Xu Buling icy appearance, shakes the head as before gently: 因为周围有人,许不令依旧一副冷冰冰的模样,轻轻摇头: Aunt Lu called in the past the rigid theorizing Daoist Priest Ning, my person could not see, teaches what sword technique.” 陆姨宁道长叫过去说教,我人都见不到,教什么剑术。” Empress Dowager is not accidental/surprised: Hongluan is this, for a while emerges to you looks for a master, feared that you and master kissed were not intimate with her...... to be right, today's martial arts contest is very important, if lost Your Majesty to harm the face countenance inevitably, you said Tang Jiuren not to be victorious, should that junior surnamed Situ not have the issue?” 太后对此毫不意外:“红鸾就是这样,一时兴起给你找个师父,又怕你和师父亲了不亲近她……对了,今天的比武很重要,若是输了圣上必然有损颜面,你方才说唐九儿打不过,那个姓司徒的小辈应该没问题吧?” Xu Buling nods: Situ Huyu master Chengtian south Martial arts world's first person of Situ Yuejin, Twenty Eight Roads Chained into a Blade land under heaven is invincible, common saying the brave or vigorous do not father cowardly children, Situ Huyu, so long as learned half, wants to come not to have the issue.” 许不令点了点头:“司徒琥羽师承天南武林第一人司徒岳烬,二十八路连环刀天下无敌,常言虎父无犬子,司徒琥羽只要学到了一半,想来是没问题。” Empress Dowager was slightly relieved, thinks, sighed gently: If you had the method of detoxification to be good, If nothing else, this competing matter, thinks that the assurance was bigger.” 太后稍微安心了些,想了想,又轻轻叹了口气:“要是你有解毒的法子就好了,别的不说,这种打擂台的事儿,想来把握更大。” Xu Buling smiled gently, without speech. 许不令轻轻笑了下,没有说话。 Waited for the moment slightly, as in Taiji Hall wears the fiery red python robe person's shadow to appear together, the noisy crowd is peaceful, focuses attention on to look upwards. 稍微等待了片刻,随着太极殿内一道身着火红蟒袍的人影出现,嘈嘈杂杂的人群安静下来,瞩目望向上方。 Before Emperor Song Ji wears the imperial robe arrives at the palace gradually, first is to Empress Dowager good a ritual, sits down on Imperial Throne. 天子宋暨身着龙袍缓步走到殿前,先是对太后行了一礼,才在龙椅上坐下。 See Your Majesty!” “参见圣上!” Mountainous cry like the sea tide, resounded in big Taiji Palace. 山呼如海潮,在诺大的太极宫内响起。 After Song Ji takes a fast look around one, the expression was genial, speaks thoughtlessly after several polite speeches, then lifted the hand gently: 宋暨扫视一眼后,表情和煦,随口说了几句场面话后,便轻轻抬手: Starts.” “开始吧。” Clang —— —— A sound of gongs, resounds through the imperial city...... 一声锣响,响彻皇城……
