Chapter 18 He Qinhou (Part 1)

Mu Sheng's eyes were as bright as a torch, staring closely at the man behind Princess Anling.

The monarch showed great respect to the princess and respectfully invited her to sit in the upper seat while he sat on the side. Mu Sheng was very unhappy, especially when he saw Duyang Hou's good-for-nothing son, his shock reached the extreme. Could it be that he had escaped? Li Sheng’s sword!

It shouldn't be

Li Sheng's swordsmanship cannot be said to be the best in the world, because he himself has seen the swordsman of the Yan Kingdom, Hu Yigu, the border governor of the Han Dynasty, and other top masters in the world, but Li Sheng is at least one of the rare first-class masters, and he can also fight against Can't he be a mere dandy? The opponent should not be able to stop him with a single sword. Is there a master left by Du Yanghou beside him?

So he immediately whispered to the people around him: "Go to the post house quickly and see what's going on."

He thought to himself, let's wait for time to see what happened and why a Han Dynasty princess suddenly appeared here.

He smiled and said: "Years ago, there was a rebellion in Guangling County of the Han Dynasty. At first, the heavenly army was unfavorable in the battle, and there was no progress for more than half a year. Until a royal princess was born, auspicious signs came from the sky, and red clouds spread all over Chang'an, covering the sky and the sun, and did not disperse for three days. Then, The Heavenly Army turned from defense to attack, fought consecutive battles, and defeated the rebels three times within thirty days. The Guangling Rebellion ended.

The emperor was so pleased that he named the newly born princess Princess Anling. Could it be that she is your Excellency?"

"You are quite well-informed." The other person said something that I don't know if it was a compliment.

"When the suzerain comes to the country, it is a major event, and we, the vassal states, should always pay homage to it." Mu Sheng was anxiously waiting for the news from the post house, and did not dare to let out a word. He was not so nervous in front of the king.

Moreover, it seemed that the Duyanghou family had a good relationship with the Han Dynasty, which made him even more nervous.

At this time, the king of Zhao Kingdom, Zhang Shi, also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, as Mu Gong said, everything about the Kingdom of Heaven is something that we and other vassals need to pay homage to. It is really a blessing for the princess to come to our country. I just didn't know in advance what happened." I'm so far away, please forgive me, Princess."

Although the other party was young, he did not change his attitude at all because of their pursuit. Instead, he looked around them lightly and said, "As long as you know, Zhao is a big country in the north, a country of etiquette, not a barbarian, a Rongdi, or anything like that.

Last year, Southwest Yelang Kingdom refused to obey the king and obey the emperor's orders. When Shuangyue Yelang Kingdom ceased to exist, it was merged into Yizhou County.

The year before last, the leader of the Huns, Chanyu, relied on his one hundred thousand men to control strings. He did not respect the emperor's orders and killed the border people. By the foggy month, his head had been passed to Chang'an and hung under Xuande's gate as a warning to the world. It is not like you. Zhao Guo knows how to behave in the world and understands principles. I will report these to the emperor.

As the sect leader of our country, I have always valued vassals who are obedient and understand etiquette."

"What you say makes sense, princess!" the monarch quickly said with his hands in hand.

The princess in front of him was young, but she spoke softly but with a strong tone. After speaking, Mu Sheng saw that the monarch and some ministers beside him were already quietly wiping away the fine cold sweat on their foreheads.

They all know the two wars Princess Anling mentioned. Last year, the Han Dynasty attacked Yelang Kingdom and captured their leader, but did not kill him. After merging Yelang Kingdom into Yizhou County of the Han Dynasty, they also allowed He served as a local official.

However, the Huns Chanyu the year before last was not so lucky. He was sentenced to death by the Han Dynasty and was subsequently killed after breaking the city. This made the surrounding vassal countries frightened.

After a while, the soldiers he sent came back and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Maling, Li Sheng is dead. The soldiers said that there are masters around that dude, and Li Sheng is no match for him."

As soon as these words came out, Mu Sheng's pupils tightened.

"Let's go meet Marquis Duyang." the princess over there demanded.

"This" Wu Yuanheng hesitated: "Princess, Marquis Duyang is seriously injured and cannot be disturbed."

"I'll see you when I say it!" The other party didn't compromise at all. What the king wanted to say was directly stopped by her raising her hand.

So the group of people surrounded the princess of the Han Dynasty and headed towards the mountainside pavilion where Duyang Hou was parked. Duyang Hou's second son followed the princess step by step, and was protected by the masters of the Han Dynasty outside. Mu Sheng's teeth itched at the sight. Wu Yuanheng cast an anxious look at him, but he was also very angry, what could he do!

There was a master in the opposing team who could kill Li Sheng, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Soon, they arrived at the pavilion where Duyang Hou was. Surrounded by Duyang Hou's soldiers, most of them cried when they saw their young master, looking lost and confused. Duyang Hou was lying on the mat in the pavilion, with his chest and abdomen They were all huge long wounds. The doctor applied medicinal stones to his wounds and bandaged them, but they were of little significance.

The smell of blood and corruption spread in the pavilion, followed closely by death.

Duyang Hou's eyes were cloudy, his breathing was weak, and his face was pale. His chest was bitten by a tiger, and his abdomen was cut open by sharp claws. The blood could not be stopped at all. The doctors who served him had taken away several basins.

However, Du Yanghou's bravery was also very impressive. The tiger that injured him was already dead, which made him and the others gasp. Fortunately, they had drugged him, otherwise the beast would not be his opponent.

To Mu Sheng's surprise, the dandy second son of Marquis Duyang did not cry or be frightened in the face of such a terrifying scene and huge change. He just stepped forward and knelt down on one knee in front of the Marquis, seriously. After hearing his last words, a quarter of an hour later, Du Yanghou calmly closed his eyes.

Mu Sheng had always been relatively calm before. Even after hearing that Li Sheng had missed, he remained calm because Du Yanghou was dead and it didn't matter whether his good-for-nothing son died or not. He had plenty of ways.

But at this moment, looking at the young man in front of him who was calm and knew his priorities, he suddenly became a little scared. Is this the rumored second son of Duyang Hou? He was as calm as an old wise man who had experienced great storms in the face of life and death changes. This made Mu Sheng felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

He was thinking about how to kill the young man next.

Princess Anling turned back to the monarch and said: "Marquis Duyang and his son Wang Jian are important friends of our dynasty. Since Marquis Duyang has met with misfortune, please let the king follow the rules and let his son inherit the title and inherit the territory."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly disrupting all Mu Sheng's plans. He looked across and met the eyes of Young Master Wu Yuanheng, who was also panicked.

Mu Shenglian said: "Princess, the inheritance of the title is our domestic matter. Great powers can supervise the king, but they should not act beyond the level." He found a very reasonable reason.

Without thinking, the other party responded directly, "I don't care about other places and respect King Zhao. However, there are foreign races in Heyang. They were my enemies in the previous court. They are not rivals in the north and came to the south.

It is related to the security of our border, and the imperial court has decided to intervene in this matter, and Duyang Hou and his son are our chosen allies."

"This" King Zhao looked at Mu Sheng and then at the princess of the Han Dynasty. He didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Mu Sheng looked at the unsatisfied young master Wu Yuanheng who was looking down at his toes across from him. He felt furious in his heart. He had tried all his calculations and never thought it would be such a result. The people of the Han Dynasty were killed halfway! If he gave in at this time, all his previous efforts would be lost.

It will all be in vain, and there will be an enemy who poses a huge threat.

So he took a half step forward and threatened in a cold voice: "Princess, your hands are stretched too long!

No matter what, our Zhao Kingdom has 100,000 soldiers and thousands of generals, so why can’t we come to the country to annihilate the foreigners for our lord? Why must it be Duyang Marquis and his son? Princess, please think carefully."

His words were already very threatening. Unexpectedly, Princess Anling stepped forward and said disdainfully: "How about extending your hand? King Zhao doesn't even dare to talk to me like this. Who do you think you are?"
