Chapter 539: Turning the Tide, Beauty and Hero

Chapter 539: Turning the Tide is a Heavy Weight, Beauty and Hero

Under the stage, Bian Ruijie walked down slowly, holding his injured arm, looking extremely depressed.

He used to enjoy the spotlight, but now
At this moment, the gazes from people around me are like sharp needles, piercing my body mercilessly!

It made him feel uncomfortable all over and his scalp was numb.

Even the commander who had placed high hopes on him,

At this moment, he seemed a little cold, and just said coldly, "Go to the back to bandage it," and said nothing more.

This made Bian Ruijie feel deeply lost and extremely discouraged.

He turned his gaze to Liu Heiying, the deputy general of the front army scout department, who was making preparations not far away.
For some reason, at this moment he felt vaguely,
If Liu Heiying also lost, it doesn’t seem to be a bad thing.

In that case, even if all three were defeated, he wouldn't be so abrupt, and maybe he could even save some face.

"Lose. Lose. Lose."

He muttered to himself, then left the platform and went to the back of the viewing platform to silently treat his wound.

With his departure, the atmosphere in the area where the Beijing Army was located became increasingly dull and depressing.

In sharp contrast,

The foreign soldiers seemed to be twisted into a rope, constantly shouting and yelling provocatively.

This made the soldiers of the Beijing Army even more restless.

In the Beijing Army's position, Liu Heiying selected an ordinary long sword from many weapons.

He simply tested the strength of the knife.
Then he came to the steps and waited quietly for the performance.

From beginning to end, his expression was extremely calm, making it difficult to get a glimpse into his inner thoughts.

At this time, Xu Zengshou came over with a worried look on his face and asked in a low voice:

"General, are you sure?"

Liu Heiying kicked him and cursed:

"nonsense!"

Xu Zengshou was not angry at all. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Guo Quan and others who were not far away also relaxed a lot.

"General Liu, can we really win?"

Some soldiers of the Beijing Army could not help but ask.

Because he saw that the general on the opposite side was extremely burly.
The whole person is a circle bigger than Liu Heiying,
The exposed muscles seemed to be made of steel and looked extremely terrifying.

Liu Heiying looked over and gave the soldier a firm look.

"Do not worry."

"The generals of both sides came on stage——"

At this moment, a loud shout rang out from the platform.

The official's voice was rhythmic and very inflammatory.
The people and officials present instantly became nervous.

The two entered one after another.

On one side was Fu Xuan, the commander of Guide Guard of Henan Province.

He was eight feet tall and stout, standing there like a towering mountain.
It seems that the earth can tremble when walking.

He held a nine-ring machete in his hand.

The blade was also painted with some gold paint, which sparkled brightly in the sun.

In comparison, Liu Heiying's sturdy figure looks relatively normal at this moment.

He was dressed in casual clothes, holding a long sword, with a calm face, and walked onto the stage calmly.

After Fu Xuan came on stage, he bowed and said, "Master Liu."

Liu Heiying also smiled and returned the greeting:

"Master Fu, you are not from Henan, right? Such a sturdy body is really rare."

Fu Xuan smiled and responded:

"Reporting to the Lord, I am from Duogandusi and currently serve in Henandusi."

"No wonder he's so strong."

Liu Heiying nodded, then looked at the clerk beside him, indicating that the competition could begin.

The clerk nodded, turned to face the people below the stage, and raised the flag high in his hand.

The originally noisy scene gradually quieted down, and everyone stared at the platform!

However, despair was already evident in the eyes of many people.

After all, the size difference between the two is too big.

And one is forty years old, the other is twenty years old,

The age gap often also means a disparity in strength.

However, some people looked puzzled.
I wondered why the front army scouts were all young generals, even the deputy general was so young.

The clerk looked at the two men warily, took a deep breath, and said slowly:
"My lords, the purpose of this competition is to learn from each other, so please stop here!"

After saying that, the official slowly stepped back, stopped the flag in his hand in front of the two men, and then waved it vigorously!
With a "whoosh" sound, the air seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, and the situation instantly became tense to the extreme.

In an instant, Fu Xuan let out a deep roar like a mad bull.

He swung the nine-ring machete and chopped it straight towards Liu Heiying with a whistling sound!
This knife was powerful and heavy, and as the blade moved,

The nine rings collided with each other, making crisp and dense sounds, carrying with them the enormous power contained in his sturdy body!

A suffocating feeling of oppression suddenly filled the air!
The hearts of the people in the audience suddenly hung in the air, and they all gasped.

There was a sharp gleam in Liu Heiying's eyes.

At the moment when the machete was about to chop down on his head,
He tapped the ground with his toes and dodged sideways like lightning.

Fu Xuan's powerful attack was easily avoided.

The blade passed by his clothes, bringing up a gust of wind.

Fu Xuan's attack missed, but without any pause, he immediately adjusted his body shape and changed from chopping to sweeping with the machete in his hand.

He used his waist as the axis and spun rapidly.
The blade swept towards Liu Heiying's lower body swiftly!

Liu Heiying's eyes were calm and he was not in a hurry.

The long sword in his hand rolled rapidly, with the blade pointing downward, and fiercely inserted into the platform.

"clang!"

The nine-ring broadsword collided with the long sword, making a crisp sound.
The long sword was slightly bent, skillfully removing the opponent's force.

Liu Heiying took advantage of the situation to pull out his long sword, drew an arc, and slashed towards Fu Xuan's shoulder!

Fu Xuan also reacted very quickly. He suddenly raised the machete and blocked Liu Heiying's knife with the back of the knife.

"clang"

Another loud bang, and sparks flew!

The two men's weapons clashed fiercely!
The huge impact force caused Fu Xuan to slip and take a step back.

Liu Heiying bent his waist and slightly bent his knees, skillfully releasing his strength to the ground.

Liu Heiying took advantage of Fu Xuan's retreat and rushed forward.

The long sword in his hand was like a swimming dragon, and he launched a fierce attack towards Fu Xuan!

This time, his style changed drastically. He no longer just avoided it.
Instead, it was a big opening and closing, and each knife contained amazing explosive power.

The wind from the knife whistled as if it was going to tear apart the surrounding air.

Fu Xuan did not dare to slack off at all. He held the machete tightly with both hands, wielding the blade tightly, trying his best to resist Liu Heiying's attack.

"Clang clang clang clang!"

For a moment, there were constant collision sounds and sparks flying!

The audiences were so overwhelmed by the performance that their hearts were in their throats and they dared not breathe.

Gradually, Fu Xuan's face became uglier and uglier.

He felt the force on the machete in his hand was getting stronger and stronger.

And the base of his palm has started to feel numb.

Taking advantage of the gap in resistance, he looked at Liu Heiying, who had always remained calm, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

As a warrior who has fought cattle and sheep in the mountains since childhood,

He could never have imagined that he would lose to a young man in strength!

But in any case, his slightly rapid breathing showed that he was at a disadvantage.

He gritted his teeth and tried to turn the unfavorable situation around with his combat experience and brute force.

At this moment, both of them seemed to have given up on defense and were left with only a crazy attack!
Every time the weapons collided, dazzling sparks flew out and deafening sounds were made.

They fought back and forth like this for nearly twenty times.

Fu Xuan gradually felt exhausted and his breathing became heavier.

His attack rhythm began to become disordered.
The movements were no longer as fast and powerful as at the beginning, and became intermittent.

At this time, Liu Heiying, who had always had a calm expression, raised his lips slightly.
He showed a confident smile and suddenly increased the strength in his hands.

Liu Heiying seized the opportunity, shouted loudly, and gathered all his strength in his right arm.

He twisted his body with his right foot as the center, like a taut spring released instantly.

The long sword in his hand flashed with a cold light and slashed towards Fu Xuan's chest with the force of thunder!

The knife was as fast as lightning and had such incredible power that the sunlight seemed to be broken into two at this moment!

Fu Xuan widened his eyes in horror and tried his best to hold the machete upright in front of his chest, trying to block the fatal blow.

"clang"

The sound was like the ringing of a huge bell, echoing throughout the entire parade ground.

The huge impact force caused the machete in Fu Xuan's hand to fly out of his hand.

He was so shaken by the force that he retreated repeatedly and finally staggered to the ground!

For a moment, the entire small parade ground fell into a brief silence.

Everyone looked at this scene blankly.

After a brief silence, it was like a volcanic eruption!

Cheers instantly swept across the entire small parade ground!
Victory is precious!

But victory after two consecutive defeats is even more valuable!

The people of Beijing are the subjects of the Emperor!
There is an innate pride in my heart.

If we lose all three games, it will be a real loss of face. Fortunately, we can still win one game in the end.
Moreover, they also remembered the young general named Liu Heiying.

The three competitions ended quickly, and the Governor's Office immediately began to assess many young soldiers.

Compared with the previous fierce fighting,

This kind of assessment of physical fitness and techniques seems a bit boring.

Some people left one after another, but many people still stayed and insisted on finishing the assessment.

As evening approached, the assessment finally ended.

Lu Yunyi put away the scoreboard in his hand and stood up.

He stretched without any scruples and even yawned.

Geng Zhong, the commander of the Left Army, turned around and saw his appearance. He smiled and said:

"The competition is still exciting. I almost fell asleep watching this test."

"Ha ha ha ha."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present burst into laughter.

Lu Yunyi also laughed and handed the document in his hand to the clerk who came forward.

"Okay, let's go home.

I have had enough rest these past two days, and it is time to get busy again tomorrow."

Geng Zhong waved to the people around him.

When it comes to going to work, even some powerful officials can't help but look a little depressed.

The same is true for Lu Yunyi. He does not need to go to the Ministry of Works or the Governor's Office in the past two days.
It makes him feel how nice it would be if life could always be this pleasant.

"Yun Yi, let's go to Zuixianlou for a drink tonight? It's your treat!"

From a distance, Marquis Quan Ning waved his arms and shouted.

Lu Yunyi quickly shook his head and refused:
"The doctor prescribed me some medicine that forbids me from drinking alcohol. Just bring your people with you. I'll treat you!"

"Okay, then I won't be polite!"

Although Quan Ninghou was a little disappointed, he still laughed out loud.

Some people gathered around him, ready to drink.

Lu Yunyi didn't care about this.

Zuixianlou is the property of Dingyuan Hou.
Due to its celebrity effect, it has long become the capital's leading restaurant.

If no big shots come to patronize it, it will gradually lose its prosperity.

If it were any other restaurant, the restaurant owner would probably be happy to pay for these big shots to go and drink there.

The next morning, the sun rose as usual.

The golden sunlight shines on the earth, dispelling the coolness of the night and bringing a hint of heat.

What happened in the small parade ground yesterday spread rapidly at an unprecedented speed.

Through word of mouth, the middle city where the small parade ground is located,

Almost overnight, a general named Liu Heiying became known.

He is Lu Yunyi's deputy general, equally young, and also from the northern border.

Some well-informed people have already dug up a lot of his deeds.

For example, the front army scout department has always had a clear division of labor.

The main general was the one who showed up in public, while most of the internal military affairs were handled by Liu Heiying, etc.

However, what really attracts attention is that he holds a high position at a young age.

At the age of 20, he became a deputy governor of Dusi. Except for some sons of nobles,
It is almost uncommon among ordinary people.

Moreover, Liu Heiying's romantic affairs were also talked about with relish.

It is said that he had many female confidants and that he even opened a brothel in Gyeongju and redeemed women many times.

What is even more surprising is that during the expedition,
With his talent, he won the heart of the owner of the most famous brothel in Yuezhou!

He got a huge brothel for free.

This makes many people envious and jealous, and they hate it so much!
At first, some people didn't believe it.

However, there were many merchants from Dongting Lake, and they soon confirmed the news.

It is said that the shopkeeper of Huajianji is a rare beauty and is extremely wealthy!

As a result, Liu Heiying, who originally had a low reputation,

Almost overnight, it became the focus of discussion.

Everyone secretly wondered why it had never been discovered before.
There is such a powerful figure hidden in the Beijing army!
At noon, the Yingtianfu River Wharf was bustling with people coming and going.

Merchant ships were coming in and out in an endless stream, and the air was filled with a hot atmosphere.

Unlike usual, some carts appeared at the dock.
Its efficient handling method attracted many people's attention and frequent glances.

The emergence of new things is often not achieved overnight.

But it is like the spring rain that moistens everything, quietly and without a trace.

At this time, a large ship decorated with extreme luxury slowly sailed into the dock.

The ship's hull is decorated with carved beams and painted with red lacquer and gold.
The railing on the bow is carved from white jade, and is exquisitely carved with lifelike flowers, birds, fish and insects.

The sails are huge and white, sparkling with a warm luster under the sunlight.

Many people turned their eyes towards the big ship, gradually straightened their backs, and their eyes became wider and wider.

Just because there was a beautiful woman standing at the bow.

She looked to be about thirty years old, wearing a lavender dress that fluttered gently in the wind.
It perfectly outlines her graceful figure.
She has a protruding chest and a curved back, and her waist is as slender as a willow.

Her skin was as white as snow and glowed softly in the sunlight.

As the ship got closer, I could see her bright eyes, straight nose and cherry lips!

Her long black hair fluttered gently in the breeze.

It adds a bit of mature woman's charm.

Beside her, there were several women.
They pointed at the shore and chirped, their voices clear and melodious.
It makes people's hearts melt when they hear it.

Many people involuntarily stopped what they were doing and stared at them blankly.

"Hua Jian Ji? Why does it sound so familiar?"

There is a plaque hanging high on the boat.
There are three big characters "Huajianji" engraved on it, with the characters flying like dragons and phoenixes and extraordinary momentum.

Many people looked at it with thoughtful expressions.

Soon, someone exclaimed:
"Hua Jian Ji! Isn't that the brothel of General Liu's confidante?"

"Yeah yeah."

More and more people suddenly realized the truth, and with it came a feeling of bitterness in their hearts.

Damn it, he became a high-ranking official at such a young age, and his wife is so beautiful, where can I go to seek justice!

"Boss, they seem to be talking about you."

At the side, Feng Qiwu, who was wearing a red dress, had a hint of doubt in her eyes, and she leaned close to Hua Jieyu and whispered.

Hua Jieyu frowned slightly.
She was also somewhat confused about this situation.

He just looked at the fiery gazes around him and said coldly:
"Don't bother."

Her voice was cold, as if it carried a hint of chilliness.

The atmosphere on the boat instantly became quiet.
Everyone who followed her was silent and looked aloof.

However, as the ship slowly stopped, the bustling sounds around it still reached the ship.

The coldness in Hua Jieyu's eyes gradually melted away.

Instead, there was a hint of curiosity and surprise.

"These people seem to be talking about the general."

At some point, Hua Jieyu's cheeks flushed slightly and her heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

Her dress swayed gently in the wind, and her plump and well-proportioned white calves were faintly visible.

This caused many people to swallow their saliva.

At this moment, a hurried but orderly sound of footsteps came from outside the dock.

Everyone followed the sound,

I saw Liu Heiying wearing a black armor, with a long sword on his waist, walking towards this side with brisk steps.

He had an upright posture, a stern face, and an unquestionable determination in his eyes.

Behind him were a group of equally spirited guards.

Everyone held their heads high and looked very imposing.

The crowd on the dock automatically made way for them.

Liu Heiying walked straight to the big ship without looking around.
I looked up at Hua Jieyu who was standing on the dock.
A touch of tenderness appeared on the stern face.
"came back."

These three simple words seem to have great magic power.

The coldness that enveloped Hua Jieyu was completely shattered in an instant.

The longing and grievances of many days burst out like a flood at this moment.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes and rolled down her fair cheeks.

"General."

Hua Jieyu called softly, her embroidered shoes making hasty steps on the dock.
He rushed towards Liu Heiying regardless of everything.

Seeing this, Liu Heiying quickly opened his arms and caught her steadily.

Hua Jieyu buried her head deep in Liu Heiying's arms.
Her shoulders were shaking slightly and she was crying like a tearful pear blossom.

When the people on the dock saw this scene, they were stunned at first.
Then there was an outburst of uncontrollable excitement and excitement.

The monotonous and boring daily life has made them numb.

A little bit of color can make them remember it for a long time.

What’s more, it’s a classic scene like this, where a beautiful woman matches a general!

As you can imagine, news here will spread at an unprecedented speed!

Liu Heiying didn't care about this.

He patted Hua Jieyu's shoulder and whispered:

"Come home. There's still some things to be arranged at home. I'll wait for you to make up your mind."
