Meng Zhulu said: "I hope your majesty will be quasi."
Li Hong walked over and helped Meng Zhulu up, and said, "Aiqing, why did you suddenly have this idea? You are the pillar of my Datang army. Right now, Datang seems to be up and down by singing and dancing, but in reality it is full of crises. If you are old, I will go. Where can I find someone to replace you?"
Meng Zhulu said: "Your Majesty, the minister joined the army at the age of sixteen. He has served Datang for thirty-two years. He has experienced thousands of battles, countless minor injuries, and no fewer than 30 serious injuries. Almost died. Now there is almost no good skin on the Chen's body, it's all scars."
"This is nothing. The scars are the honor of a soldier. The minister is not trying to show off. However, in the thirty-two years of his military career, the minister is really tired. Now every rainy weather, his joints are painful like needles. No matter if it's exercise or taking medicine, it can't get rid of it. My wife has always wanted to go back to the countryside to farm and raise chickens. She said Chang'an City is too cold."
"Your Majesty, there is a general under the minister who can take over the burden of the minister's shoulders after the minister returns to old age. This person's name is called..."
Li Hong interrupted him directly, "Needless to say, I know who you are going to talk about, but I will not agree to your request for returning to the old."
Although Meng Zhulu had expected such a result, when the emperor really refused, he was still very disappointed.
"Aiqing, who caused you to be wronged?" Li Hong asked, "What are you talking about to be old?"
Meng Zhulu shook his head: "At the position of the minister, who else would dare to wrong the minister."
"That's dissatisfaction with me?" Li Hong said.
Meng Zhulu knelt down again: "Your Majesty has no intention of this."
"Get up." Li Hong frowned: "Guilao's request I will definitely not agree, but I can let you leave for a period of time. When will you adjust your mentality and when will you come back to report on your work. How does Aiqing feel? "
Meng Zhulu sighed softly in his heart, "Chen Xie Your Majesty Longen."
"Report." Suddenly an eunuch came to report at the door.
"Speak." Li Hong said lightly.
"Zhou Fei came out of the academy," the eunuch said.
Both Li Hong and Meng Zhulu were taken aback: "What did you say?"
The eunuch said: "The spies from the academy reported that Zhou Fei accepted the retreat and formally accepted Qiao Kun's challenge."
"He really came out?" Li Hong walked a few steps in the study room and chuckled softly, "Very well, he is the son of General Zhou, after all, he is not a scumbag. Go and explore again."
"Here." The eunuch retired.
Li Hong said: "If it weren't for my appearance, I really want to go to the scene with Aiqing to see it, this time the contest will be very exciting. It's really regrettable. Aiqing, who do you like?"
Meng Zhulu thought for a while, and said: "Counting the time, Zhou Fei has been in retreat for more than four months. Obviously, after experiencing the battle between Xian Chen and Heng Nianwu, he realized his shortcomings, so he retreats to improve. This person's talent is average, and the Qihaiqiao acupoints are not well connected. Although there is a master as a teacher, some congenital shortcomings cannot be made up."
"On the other hand, Qiao Kun, as the younger brother of Qiao Huaixi, he did not lose to Zhou Fei in a single round. Secondly, it is rumored that this person's Qihaiqiao acupuncture point has passed the fourteen orifices, which is considered to be an upper-class level among practitioners. And he Zhou Fei’s talent is very good, especially in the rune, his talent is amazing. Even if Zhou Fei retreats for four months, he is not necessarily Qiao Kun’s opponent."
Li Hong smiled and said, "It seems Aiqing is very optimistic about Qiao Kun? Then dare you make a bet with me?"
"What do you want to bet on?" Meng
Chau asked.
"It's very simple. I am optimistic about Zhou Fei, and you are optimistic about Qiao Kun. If Qiao Kun wins, I will let you retire. If Zhou Fei wins, you are not allowed to talk about retiring for the next ten years, how about? A bet with me?" Li Hong smiled and looked at Meng Zhulu.
Meng Zhulu nodded: "Okay, the minister dare to make a bet with your majesty."
"Then you will lose." Li Hong was very proud.
Meng Zhulu didn't know where the emperor's confidence came from, but he would not dare to sweep the emperor's interest.
However, in Meng Zhulu's view, Zhou Fei has no chance of winning.
That is a waste.
Even on the second floor of the academy, it's a waste.
…
No one thought that Zhou Fei would walk out of the academy at the end of the day.
They all thought that Zhou Fei would choose to avoid the war.
The face of the academy will be sweeping.
Of course, after so long, the onlookers have almost all turned their backs.
The people of Chang'an worship the strong.
Because Datang is very strong!
Because Datang is the strongest country in the Great Wilderness!
So Zhou Fei's behavior seemed very shameless to them.
In order to protect Zhou Fei, the academy was also very shameless.
If it weren't for a master who was the strongest in the Great Wilderness in the academy, these ordinary people might have cursed.
Zhou Fei's word of mouth was originally warmed up by defeating Xian Chen and Heng Nianwu in succession, and no one called him Changan's No. 1 waste.
However, because of this incident, his reputation fell to the bottom again.
Qiao Kun has gained a lot of praise.
You must know that Qiao Kun was almost scolded by thousands of people at the beginning, thinking that he was a grandstanding man, and wanted to become famous in this way.
But several months of persistence made people realize that Qiao Kun is not as superficial as they see it.
This Heng Zongdao's disciple, Qiao Huaixi's younger brother, still has something.
Especially after communicating with Mr. Da, Qiao Kun's changes are visible to the naked eye.
Chang'an's major gambling shops also opened handicap for this contest.
At the beginning, Qiao Kun was completely behind, but now he has achieved overtake.
On the contrary, it was Zhou Fei. From the very beginning, to the mid-term level, and then to the current full-scale defeat, it can be described as **** and defeated.
"Your current odds are one to eight, and Qiao Kun is one to two." Yue Chen whispered in Zhou Fei's ear.
Zhou Fei blinked, "Can I still place a bet?"
"Yes." Yue Chen said.
Zhou Fei took out all the valuable things on his body and gave it to Yue Chen: "Go, buy me and win."
Yue Chen said embarrassedly: "Little Junior Brother, although I also believe in your strength, let's just bet."
"You don't believe me?" Zhou Fei said.
"No, I just don't think gambling is good, and the master won't let us gamble." Yue Chen said.
"Small gambling to be happy, big gambling to hurt your body. This little money is not enough to even make a girl." Zhou Fei said grinningly: "Go ahead, after a while, you won't be able to buy it."
Yue Chen had no choice but to go to the gambling shop with a bag of valuables.
However, the gambling shop was very considerate. It opened a temporary gambling stall on the street next to the academy, and had a good relationship with the government officials, and would not be banned.
This gambling house is very well-known in Chang'an, so don't worry about running out of accounts.
Yue Chen pressed all the valuable things on Zhou Fei’s head and changed it
A piece of paper, this is the voucher for money exchange in the later stage.
We are placing a bet here, and Zhou Fei and Qiao Kun at the gate of the academy have already chatted.
"Little comrade has a good mental outlook." Zhou Fei said with a smile: "After waiting for a few months, I originally thought you would retreat. I didn't expect to be so tenacious. I really admire you."
Qiao Kun said lightly: "It is my honor to be able to fight against the representatives of the academy. It's not a big deal for a few months. Moreover, Chang'an has very good local customs and people, I like it here."
Zhou Fei raised his eyebrows.
My heart's assessment of Qiao Kun was another level higher.
Not surprised at everything, something.
"You don't want to ask why I appeared so late?" Zhou Fei asked.
"Mr. Five is practicing in retreat. The hidden feelings are related to your practice. It is inconvenient to ask more. Maybe you will know everything when you fight." Qiao Kun said: "Mr. Five, let's make a move."
"Eh, don't worry." Zhou Fei said, "Since I have already arrived, this one will definitely fight. But some things have to be asked clearly."
Qiao Kun said: "Mr. Five, please speak."
"Does this one of us stop until we stop, or will we never die?" Zhou Fei said, "I don't want to carry another inexplicable hatred. The previous constant Nianwu is enough to give me a headache, if I accidentally hurt you Now, your brother will hate me too, it will be too uncomfortable."
Qiao Kun said: "Mr. Five can rest assured that I am here to challenge you. It is my own decision. It has nothing to do with Heng Zongdao and my brother."
Zhou Fei said, "No, I can't believe you. I can't believe you. It's better to leave a voucher."
Qiao Kun frowned: "Mr. Five, there is absolutely no falsehood underneath. No proof is needed."
Zhou Fei said solemnly: "It's better to leave a voucher. If your brother takes revenge in the future, I also have something to show him."
"Mr. Five is very confident in himself." Qiao Kun said.
Zhou Fei brought paper and pen and said, "You write a guarantee letter."
The surrounding people couldn't stand it anymore, and the scene booed.
The disciples in the academy also felt ashamed.
Originally thought that a very high-end, very high-end contest, how did it become so unscrupulous
What exactly is Zhou Fei going to do
Does he really want to lose the face of the college
Qiao Kun stared at Zhou Fei for a long time, clenching his fists tightly, and after a few breaths, he slowly loosened his fists, picked up a brush and wrote a line of words.
As Zhou Fei had obtained the treasure, he slowly dried the ink on the paper, and then put the letter of guarantee close to his body, saying: "Mr. Qiao is a refreshing person, I am very optimistic about you."
"Can we do it?" Qiao Kun said faintly, but the bulging veins on his forehead revealed his uneasy mood at the moment.
Zhou Fei smiled and said, "Yes, you can."
After finishing speaking, he jumped a few meters, and put a posture: "Please."
Qiao Kun waited for a few months before waiting for this sentence.
He raised his hand and threw four runes directly out.
The four runes were different, storms, thunder and snow swarmed, and directly staged a natural disaster on Zhou Fei's head.
These runes were prepared by Qiao Kun in advance, and he painted every rune with great care, and the appearance of the runes was also excellent.
Qiao Kun took out all his skills and tried to defeat Zhou Fei.
So getting started is a killer move, without any mercy.
