Chapter 808 Three Things

Beiliang King Xu Xiao was sitting in front of the Tingchao Pavilion, holding a fishing rod, and fishing with his youngest son Xu Longxiang.

A captain came running over and reported what had happened outside Lingzhou City.

Xu Xiao started to feel a little bit confused:

"Chu Lushan was killed by Ye Song with just one sword? Is this true?"

How can this be so hard to believe!

Chu Lushan's strength was second only to Chen Zhibao in the army.

He was killed by Ye Song with one sword, so I'm afraid Chen Zhibao couldn't beat him either.

And if even Chen Zhibao can't beat Ye Song, there are few people in the entire Beiliang who can beat him!
"Your Highness, he was indeed killed with one sword. I saw it with my own eyes. General Chen, General Qi and the others were too late to rescue him!"

The captain recalled the scene just now, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

It was really that Ye Song's sword was extremely fast!
Almost disappearing without a trace!
He only saw Chu Lushan jump up from the horse's back and then die!
In the middle, he didn't see how Ye Song drew or put away the sword!

"Okay, I understand! Let's go down!"

Xu Xiao waved his hand and prepared to go to Li Yishan to discuss countermeasures.

Unexpectedly, the captain did not leave, but asked with a wry smile:

"Your Majesty, General Chen asked me to come back and ask Your Majesty, what should be done with those Shu people?"

"'How to deal with it'? Can he handle it? Still talking about 'how to deal with it'... You are not afraid of the wind blowing and your tongue getting bitten!"

Xu Xiao laughed and cursed, then gave the order sullenly:

"Let Chen Zhibao and his men stay in a restaurant or inn near the governor's mansion first, and treat them to delicious food and drinks! If the Shu people want to see me, just say that I'm sick and will see you in two days!"

The news that Chu Lushan was killed by the Shu general Ye Song spread throughout Lingzhou City that day!

Not only did the people of Lingzhou City not feel a sense of "common hatred against a common enemy" because of this incident, but many people bought fireworks and firecrackers and started celebrating!
From this we can see what kind of reputation Chu Lushan has in the Northern Liang area.

Ye Song and more than a hundred Yulin guards moved into a restaurant inn. He sent visiting cards to the Beiliang Palace for two consecutive days, but they were all returned.

The reason why Xu Xiao wanted to leave Ye Song alone was that he relied on the fact that his two daughters were about to become the empresses of Shu Kingdom, so he had the confidence to suppress the arrogance of the Shu people.

However, he didn't go too far.

Three days passed.

Xu Xiao summoned Ye Song.

Ye Song followed the palace's chief steward Shen Chun alone, all the way to the Yin'an Hall of the palace, where the formalities ended.

Xu Xiao seemed to be old and confused, and slowly asked Ye Song why he came.

Ye Song was not surprised and stated his purpose with a faint smile:

"Great Pillar State, Ye has been ordered to come to Beiliang for three things!"

Xu Xiao asked casually:

"Oh? What three things?"

Ye Song said politely:
"The first thing to do is to copy all the martial arts books in Tingchao Pavilion!"

Xu Xiao frowned after hearing this:
"Are you kidding me? Do you know where Tingchao Pavilion is?"

"of course I know!"

Ye Song said calmly, "Back then, the Great Pillar of the State rode his horse across the Jianghu to collect the secret books in the Jianghu. He built the Tingchao Pavilion in Qingliang Mountain to store these secret books. Since then, everyone in the Jianghu has been in danger and terrified when talking about Xu!"

"Then how dare you come to me for martial arts secrets?"

Xu Xiao was happy. He thought his reputation was useless!
Ye Song curled his lips, and instead of talking to Xu Xiao, he continued to smile:
"Your Majesty has ordered that the second thing is to find the queen!"

"Hmm? Looking for the Queen?"

Xu Xiao was stunned again:
"The Emperor of Shu wants you to come to my Beiliang to look for the Queen?"

"Not bad!"

Ye Song said bluntly:
"When Western Chu was destroyed by the Great Pillar State, a little princess was brought back to Northern Liang by the Great Pillar State. Her name was Jiang Ni and she now lives in the Wutong Garden of the royal palace."

"Your Majesty has said that there are only four women in the world who are qualified to be the Queen of Great Shu, and Jiang Ni ranks first!"

"Please ask the Great Pillar State to hand over this Princess of Western Chu!"

This time, Xu Xiao didn't ask how the Emperor of Shu dared to say this!

After a moment of silence, he quietly asked:
"Then what is the third thing?"

As the most powerful official of the Liyang Dynasty and the commander of Beiliang who once destroyed the six kingdoms, Xu Xiao is not afraid of Shu Kingdom even though Shu Kingdom is now in its heyday.

After all, as the King of Beiliang who crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, he doesn't care about life or death at all!
If a person no longer cares about life and death, there won’t be many things in this world that can threaten him!

Seeing Xu Xiao's attitude, Ye Song also restrained the smile on his face, and his tone began to become indifferent, even cold:
"Your Majesty said that if the first two things are done properly, the third thing can be done or not, it can be a big thing or a small thing!"

Xu Xiao was attracted by this sentence and asked:
"What exactly is this third thing?"

"revenge!"

Ye Song did not hide it and even drew out the long sword from his waist. He wiped the blade with his fingers and said with a smile:
"Back then, the Great Pillar State led the cavalry to destroy our Shu Kingdom and massacred 60,000 of our Shu people. This time I came here to discuss with the Great Pillar State how to resolve this grudge!"

"its not right!"

When Xu Xiao heard Ye Song mention the third thing, he immediately became dissatisfied.

Xu Xiao could still regard the first two incidents as provocations from the Kingdom of Shu.

This last incident directly broke through Xu Xiao's psychological defenses, causing him to blew his beard and glared:

"When your Shu Emperor was in Tai'an City, he said in front of everyone in the world that he would never retaliate again!"

"Now, he wants to go back on his word. Isn't he afraid of being attacked by the gods and people of the world?"

"Great Pillar State, this is absurd!" Ye Song did not expect Xu Xiao to say such naive words, and could not help but laugh:

"Great Pillar State, His Majesty did say that day that he would never seek revenge! However, the one who came to Beiliang this time was me, Ye, with a group of family soldiers. It was a personal act and had nothing to do with my Shu State!"

Anyway, no one knows that Ye Song and Su Mingzhe are the same person!

Ye Song is now openly acting like a rogue!
"Shameless!"

Xu Xiao was so angry that he stood up from the throne, holding the scabbard, and wanted to fight Ye Song to the death!
"How can this be called shameless?"

Ye Song smiled disdainfully and said:

"My father also died tragically at the hands of your Beiliang knives. As a son, isn't it only natural for me to avenge my father?"

"Good, good, good! It's the right thing to do!"

Xu Xiao finally controlled his temper.

He thought of Ye Song in front of him, who was able to kill Chu Lushan with one sword. His strength was probably rare in the world.

Thinking of the strategy he and military advisor Li Yishan had decided on, he could only hold back his nausea and said viciously:
"According to your calculations, a new wave of people will come in a few days, and my Beiliang will be torn apart by you sooner or later! It would be better for me to go to war with your Shu Kingdom now and fight to the death!"

"The Great Pillar State is wrong again!"

Ye Song said with a smile:

"When a rabbit goes to war with a lion, it's not fighting to the death, it's courting death!"

Ye Song said, seeing Xu Xiao was angry, he immediately waved his hand and said:

"Great Pillar State, we are all rough men. No matter how much we argue verbally, we will eventually have to fight to the death!"

"Ye has a suggestion. Why don't we Shu people set up a fighting arena in Lingzhou City and let you Beiliang people come and challenge us!"

"If you send one person, we will send one person!"

"If you send two people, we will send two people!"

"As long as you Beiliang can win, we will never mention revenge again!"

"If we Shu people win, the King of Beiliang will have to accept the three things arranged by our Majesty!"

"it is good!"

Xu Xiao is proud after all. Seeing that Ye Song dared to provoke Beiliang openly, he didn't want to swallow his anger any more!

"In three days, we will see who is better on the ring!"

After Ye Song left, Xu Xiao immediately summoned all the masters of the Beiliang Palace to discuss how to compete!

But a tall, handsome middle-aged man with thick arms and a slim waist stood up and challenged:

"Your Majesty, Ye Song is quite powerful, why don't I fight him first?"

Xu Xiao was overjoyed when he saw this handsome man volunteering:
"Okay, Yanbing, you fight the first battle!"

Xu Yanbing is the well-deserved number one in the Beiliang Palace.

In the novel, he fought against and destroyed the immortals on land in the Great Celestial Realm, and still remained unscathed!
The comments about him on the internet in later generations were: 'One for one on land, and he is invincible under land'!
"The more enemies I have, the happier I am. People call it Beiliang 50-50!"

It is precisely because of such powerful strength that Xu Yanbing has the confidence to fight against Ye Song, who killed Chu Lushan with one sword!

"Foster father, I also want to go to the ring and destroy the Shu people's spirit!"

Chen Zhibao also stepped forward to volunteer for the battle.

Chen Zhibao is Xu Yanbing's nephew.

Both of them learned the Wang family's spear technique.

Both of them are extremely talented!

However, Xu Yanbing's talent lies entirely in martial arts.

In addition to martial arts, Chen Zhibao also studied both civil and military strategies.

Therefore, although Chen Zhibao's martial arts is slightly inferior to Xu Yanbing's, the difference is not that big.

"Godfather, count me in too!"

As Chen Zhibao asked to fight, other Beiliang masters also stepped forward!
Several people came one after another to ask for a fight, and Xu Xiao couldn't help but feel a little proud, it must be because his Beiliang family is rich!
After Su Mingzhe killed more than a dozen Zhixuan realm masters, there are still so many first-grade masters!
"Call Song Yu over!"

Xu Xiao was able to grow from an unknown person to the most powerful official in the Liyang Dynasty. Although this was due to his extraordinary talent and good luck, the more important point was that he was able to judge the situation!
Now Beiliang is going to compete with Shu people. It concerns Beiliang’s reputation and future. We must know ourselves and the enemy!
After a while, Song Yu, the leader of the Fushuifang, came to the hall.

Xu Xiao asked directly:

"Song Yu, you and the Shu people have traveled all the way north. How much do you know about their strength? How many of them are in the Vajra Realm, the Mysterious Finger Realm, and the Celestial Realm?"

"To reply to your Majesty, I don't know!"

Song Yu smiled bitterly and answered Xu Xiao.

After seeing Xu Xiao's ugly face, he quickly explained:
"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation first! On the way to Beiliang, I did establish relations with the Shu people and inquired about many things."

"But, their cultivation level... is really hard to say!"

"According to what they themselves said, five months ago, they were just ordinary farmers in Shu!"

"However, five months ago, Ye Song suddenly appeared and recruited more than a thousand people to serve as the city defense soldiers of Jinguan City."

"Four months ago, Ye Song conducted another selection of the more than 1,000 city defense soldiers and selected more than 100 of them to conduct special training in various battle formations every day!"

"After four months of special training, they are now... they themselves said that they are all at the Diamond Realm now!"

When Song Yu said this, his eyes still flickered with confusion:
"Your Highness, this matter is too unbelievable. I thought they were making fun of me, so I didn't take it seriously!"

"However, they have caused a lot of trouble in Lingzhou City in the past few days. Many second-grade junior masters in the city have taken action, but they all ended up being defeated!"

"I just realized that all the seven people who took action are in the Vajra Realm!"
