Chapter 123: 123 marriage (first update)

Chapter 123 Marriage (1st update)

A few years ago, Da Qi and Nan Hao had peace talks, and the former emperor and the current emperor of Nan Hao decided on the marriage between the two countries.

However, after the marriage was finalized, there was no further progress. Nan Hao remained silent and seemed not very enthusiastic about the marriage between the two countries.

On this year's Wanshou Festival, Emperor Nanhao sent his eldest prince Wu Hejialou all the way to Daqi to congratulate him on his birthday. As a result, the civil and military ministers could not help but bring up old matters again. They had discussed this for a while, and most of them felt that the two sides Marriage between nations is a good thing.

Now that Hao is strong and weak, both the DPRK and the Central Government can't help but worry that Nan Hao will march north to unify the Central Plains.

Although the marriage cannot ensure eternal peace between the two countries, it can give Da Qi more time.

This time Wuhejialou personally went to Daqi as an envoy, and some courtiers speculated whether this was a signal released by Emperor Nanhao.

However, after Wuhejialou and his party arrived in Daqi, no one took the initiative to mention the marriage. Gradually, some officials began to worry about whether Nan Hao would regret the marriage.

Originally, the emperor should have spoken to Wuhajialou about the marriage between the two countries, but the emperor felt it was inappropriate and felt that using his status as the emperor of Qi to promote and demote the nobles would bring shame on him. Therefore, this decision was made. Crown Prince Gu Nanjin took advantage of today's longevity banquet to mention this matter, which also eased the embarrassment just now.

On the high platform, as the silence spread, the atmosphere became increasingly weird.

Everyone in Qi looked expectantly at the white-robed monk next to the emperor.

Wuhejialou is the eldest prince of Nanhao. He has a high status in Nanhao and is deeply loved by the people. He will definitely be the future Emperor of Nanhao. Of course, he is the most suitable candidate for marriage with Daqi.

Jialou made a one-handed Buddhist salute to Gu Nanjin and said calmly: "The world is unified, Dahao and Daqi are one family."

His words were detached and he dismissed the topic lightly.

Garou's expression was as normal, as gentle as jade, but the Haoren who was waiting for Tama next to him had a stiff expression.

They also understood what Gu Nanjin said and stared at him coldly, with a hint of contempt in their eyes.

The mere princess of Daqi still wants to marry their eldest prince!

Even if the two countries really get married, and some of Dahao's clan come to join forces, Daqi will not think that Dahao will have wronged the eldest prince!

However, Jialou did not express his position on the marriage, so they could only suppress it. Each of them stood stiff and silent, and a cold aura naturally came out of their whole bodies.

Gu Nanjin looked at their expressions, and felt a slight thump in his heart. He vaguely felt that something was wrong: the people of Hao Kingdom really didn't care about marriage... Wuhejialou didn't even accept his words.

Chu Qianhuang, who was sitting not far away, had been paying attention to the movements here, and the corners of his lips curled up.

Thinking of the future in her dream, a sarcastic light flashed across her eyes. What the prince said just now was indeed correct. Daqi would not fall into the hands of Wuhejialou in the future.

Chu Qianhuang looked at the third princess Anle who was sitting in front of her.

The emperor has decreed a marriage, and Chu Qianchen is about to marry to Prince Chen's palace. Even if Anle likes her again, she cannot become the princess's companion.

Anle and Nanhao's affairs concern both countries and are imperative.

According to the rules of Daqi, if a princess marries far away, her companion will give her in marriage.

As An Le's companion, she had the opportunity to go to Hao Kingdom with An Le and find a chance to save Wuhe Jialou.

Chu Qianhuang lowered his eyes again, his eyes blazing, his waist straight, and his calm expression was completely different from the chattering and laughing noble ladies around him.

At the same time, the fight between the two people on the ring became more and more fierce, and the crisp sounds of blade exchanges occurred one after another.

Most of the spectators in the stands were completely unaware of the strange atmosphere on the Emperor's side. They cheered and cheered for the two men competing below. The shouts became louder and more exciting.

Gu Nanjin's eyes were dark, and he looked at the emperor with a look for instructions.

The emperor slowly turned the jade ring on his thumb.

Of course, he also saw the unwillingness of the Hao people, and felt unhappy. He felt that the Hao people's unwillingness and unwillingness were hitting him in the face of the great Emperor Qi.

These Hao people are too disrespectful!

The emperor remained silent, with faint veins appearing on his forehead.

Seeing this, Gu Nanjin did not continue the topic. It would be inappropriate to continue talking about it, so he could only endure it.

At this moment, the competition below also came to fruition.

One of the contestants was knocked off the ring and rolled to the ground in a panic.

Only a foreigner with dark skin, deep eyes and a nose job was left standing in the center of the ring, proudly looking down at the Daqi man who fell to the ground.

The official of the Ministry of Rites immediately announced the winner: "This time, Sartuo of the Xiyu tribe won!"

This means that next, Sartuo will enter the finals to compete with Sumubai.

"Bah bang bang!"

Warm applause erupted from the stands of the Xiyu people, and all the Xiyu people shouted the name "Saltuo" with high spirits, and the voices overlapped neatly.

The number one warrior of their Xiyu tribe came out ahead in the martial arts test. For them, that was also a supreme honor, and they all felt honored.

In the midst of great expectations, Su Mubai once again stepped onto the ring with his sword, and looked eye to eye with Sal Tuo, the winner of the previous competition.

Su Mubai's smile was light and elegant, and Saltuo responded with a provocative sneer, which was very energetic.

The two of them first saluted the emperor on the high platform. The emperor slowly opened the folding fan in his hand and said with a nonchalant smile: "Use force to make friends, just click it."

"Su Mubai, Sartuo, no matter who of you two is the final leader today, I will reward you greatly!"

He has an easy-going smile, a tolerant and generous tone, and a detached attitude that focuses on participation and does not mean winning or losing.

Sumubai and Saltuo both agreed.

The finals begin immediately!

There is no time limit for this game, it will end when the winner is determined.

The school grounds were almost silent and silent.

All eyes were focused on Su Mubai and Saltuo. Saltuo took the lead in pulling out the scimitar in his hand. The silver scimitar shone coldly in the sun.

"I'm offended!"

As these three words rang out, Saltuo took a big step forward and struck the first sword with great force, the light of the sword was as sharp as lightning.

Su Mubai immediately pulled out the long sword from the scabbard and blocked it with the blade of the sword.

"clang!"

When the blades collided fiercely with each other, sparks shot out, and the air around them seemed to be burning. A cold smile appeared on Sartuo's lips, and his right foot suddenly swept towards Sumubai's lower body, forcing him to take three steps back.

On the ring, swords and swords flashed, and the two men fought fiercely, with clanging sounds endless.

The people watching the game looked at them with different expressions. They were either watching the game with bated breath, raising their eyebrows with interest, waiting to see, drinking wine carelessly, or whispering to each other...

Suddenly, the emperor looked at Wuhe Jialou again and asked with a smile: "Who does Prince Wuhe think will win this battle?"

Gu Nanjin narrowed his eyes when he heard this and his eyes were slightly focused.

The foreigners participating in the competition today are all vassals of Daqi. The emperor has always boasted that Daqi is a great country. Only Nanhao can rival Daqi. If Su Mubai loses to these small barbarians today, for the emperor , this is such a shame!

Then, today's martial arts test has become a joke.

Not only Gu Nanjin, but also the emperor's ministers present knew that Su Mubai must win this battle, and they exchanged glances in twos and threes.

Su Mubai had extraordinary martial arts skills. He had to stand out among tens of thousands of young disciples to become the champion of martial arts. He had not lost in these years. The Qi court officials present felt that Su Mubai's victory should be a sure thing.

The emperor felt the same way.

To put it bluntly, the emperor deliberately asked Jialou this question because he wanted Jialou to admit that Daqi was superior in skills.

Jialou gently twisted the Buddha beads with his slender fingers, still calm and calm, and said: "I heard that King Chen of your country also made a splash in the martial arts test when he was young, and won the first place. Su Shen will have the guidance of King Chen, and I think he should be superior in skills."

It was quiet again.

The emperor's face darkened instantly.

Wuhajialou means that if Sumubai wins, King Yechen will teach him well.

Seeing this, Tama and the young man in green looked at each other with a smile but not a smile: This Emperor of Da Qi is really a narrow-minded person.

Gu Nanjin sighed secretly. For a moment, he was really afraid that the emperor would walk away.

When Gu Nanjin looked at Jialou again, his expression became more cautious.

Wuhajialou was the eldest prince of Nanhao and was popular among the people. In Nanhao, everyone was sure that Wuhejialou would be the future prince. Therefore, Gu Nanjin also attached great importance to Wuhejialou and had already investigated this person.

According to rumors, Wuhejialou was noble and holy, the reincarnation of the Buddha, and untainted by the worldly dust. However, after the experience, Gu Nanjin felt that the other party was not that simple, and he could speak in just a few words without leakage.

Although this man is young, he is so talented that no one can tell the depth of his talent.

Looking at him, Gu Nanjin couldn't help but think of another person -

His Nine Emperors uncle.

Jialou seemed completely unaware of the strange atmosphere around him and said, "General Su Shen has begun to fight back. It seems that the leader will be determined soon."

As he said, Su Mubai in the ring began to fight back after figuring out Sartuo's path. The long sword in his hand seemed to be part of his body. It was flexible, light, and as fast as lightning. , turning into pieces of silver sword light.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

Several more clashes of swords were heard, and sparks continued to flash in the air.

Sartuo reluctantly accepted the attack, but a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead. In contrast, Sumubai was able to do it with ease, and even his breathing was as steady as before.

Anyone could see who had the upper hand at the moment.

However, the emperor was a little unable to laugh, as his mind was still recalling what Jia Lou had just said.

It was Daqi who clearly had the advantage in this competition, but now there was a faint feeling that everything was under Jialou's control.

The emperor felt a breath holding in his heart, thinking about how to get back in the game, and his attention was no longer on the ring.

It wasn't until another round of enthusiastic cheers broke out on the field that the emperor was awakened from his thoughts.

When the emperor looked towards the ring again, he saw the scimitar in Saltuo's hand coming out.

The scimitar buzzed in the air, drew a long curve in the air, and flew outside the ring...

With a "bang" sound, the scimitar fell to the ground outside the ring.

There is no suspense about Su Mubai's victory, and it is obvious.

There was no need for the Ministry of War official to announce the result. Warm applause erupted from the high platform again. This time, the spectators all stood up from the stands.

The atmosphere in the field was boiling, and it seemed to be hotter than the scorching sun that day.

However, Su Mubai, who had won the title of leader, was calm and calm. His eyes slowly swept over his long sword to make sure that there was no blood on the sword, and he curled his lips with satisfaction.

The troublesome thing about the competition just now was the emperor's so-called "point until the end". He couldn't leave anything to the emperor, so he could only drag out the battle for a longer time.

Su Mubai put away his sword, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the emperor, a bright light flashed across his eyes.

When the wind blows, the corners of his straight robe fly with the wind, adding a sense of elegance, as if he is going to ride away in the wind.

After a burst of fierce applause, everyone around them shouted in unison: "Long live the Emperor!"

"I wish the Emperor a long life without borders!"

Everyone present, including the foreigners, bowed their heads and saluted the emperor, and shouted in unison. The shouts were impassioned and powerful.

Seeing this scene in the emperor's eyes, he felt much better and felt refreshed all of a sudden.

The emperor laughed brightly from his mouth, his eyes were shining, and he praised Jialou with high spirits: "The Great Prince Wuhe really has extraordinary eyesight."

After a pause, the emperor sighed regretfully, "What a pity! It's a pity that your country did not participate in today's military test."

The emperor fanned his folding fan leisurely, as if he was speaking casually.

"..." Gu Nanjin lowered his eyes slightly, but stopped talking.

This martial arts test was organized by Daqi, and it was held during the annual Longevity Festival to a certain extent to cheer up the emperor. Therefore, Gu Jue only participated in the martial arts test when he was young, for the sake of the late emperor.

As for the participation of these foreign races who were vassal to Da Qi, there was naturally a sense of surrender in them. After all, it was Da Qi who formulated the competition items and rules for the martial arts test.

The initiative lies with Daqi.

Nan Hao and Bei Qi were equal. The emperor said this, obviously intending to use the military test to overpower Nan Hao.

How could the Nanhao people agree! A thin layer of sweat broke out on the back of Gu Nanjin's neck.
