Chapter 246 Everyone has their own agenda
Last time, we talked about Li Yi defeating Erzhu Hui with two moves, and Dugu Long happened to arrive and agreed to compete at the foot of Yinshan Mountain three days later. So how will the story develop next? Let's read on.
Li Yi raised his hand and touched Erzhu Hui's forehead. The latter suddenly woke up and saw Dugu Long. He stood up suddenly and saluted, saying: "General Erzhu Hui greets General Long!"
Dugu Long patted Erzhu Hui on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You don't have to be discouraged. He is indeed much stronger than you in terms of strength, but the gap is not as big as you think.
But I didn't expect you couldn't even withstand two attacks. You were too impulsive and fell into his trap so easily."
Erzhu Hui smiled innocently and said, "I didn't want to fight with the Confucian and Taoist people. I should have fought them in close combat and not given them the opportunity to speak and do what they want. I never thought that I would fall into his trap! Hehehe."
"Forget it. I will fight him in three days. You have to watch out. Nan Liang still has a third-level cultivator. If we meet him, we will have a response."
"Yes!"
After returning to the tent, the banquet started again. The wine was poured into the mouth jar by jar and brought into the tent in carts. The generals who accompanied the drinking were replaced one after another. You can imagine how much Dugu Long could drink!
During the banquet, Shi Yu played the piano, Bai Ling sang, and Han Feng danced, which made Er Zhuhui and his subordinates linger. In the end, you were reluctant to leave, right? Dugu Long and Li Yi got these people drunk and carried them away to be replaced by the next batch.
In this way, they all fell down after drinking until Dugu Long, Li Yi and Erzhu Hui were the only ones left. Shi Yu said unhappily, "You started drinking in the afternoon, and now it's dark, and you haven't finished drinking yet. Are you going to drink yourself to death?"
Erzhu Hui's eyes were hazy with drunkenness, his face was red, his hands were trembling when he raised them, his mind was empty, he pointed at Shiyu and said: "Sister-in-law, you don't understand! As for me, I definitely can't beat them in a fight, but I won't give in! So I have to make them subdue me by drinking! Even if I risk my life, I have to beat them this time!
Otherwise, how can I make a living in the Zhenbei Army camp? They will say that I am not good at writing, not good at martial arts, and even can't drink! This is absolutely not okay! I must have someone who is good! So, come on, General Long, Brother Li, come and keep drinking! "
"Drink, drink, drink until you die! I don't care! Bailing Hanfeng, let's go!" The three ladies stood up to leave. Li Yi reached out and held Shiyu's hand, blushing and jokingly said, "Hey, why are you leaving? If you leave, this wine will be boring! So, you guys should change shifts, you don't have to accompany us anymore, let Nangong Xue, Tuoba Ziyi, and Yuehua come and drink with us!"
"Li Yi, you are crazy! It's embarrassing enough that you asked us to drink with you, and you even want Princess Longyun and Miss Nangong to come drink with you. Aren't you afraid that they will pick up swords and chop you! I won't go!" Shi Yu pushed Li Yi away and walked away angrily.
Li Yi grabbed Bailing's hand again and begged: "Bailing, Bailing, you are the best to me. We three ladies have the deepest feelings. Can you help me call someone?" Bailing kicked Li Yi away and left.
Li Yi quickly turned over and hugged Han Feng's legs, rubbing his face against hers while saying, "Han Feng, you know me, the three ladies, I prefer you the most! Can you help me ask?"
With a swish, Han Feng pulled out the sword from the tent and placed it across Li Yi's neck, saying coldly: "Let go!" Dugu Long and Erzhu Hui pointed at Li Yi and laughed.
Li Yi shrank his neck and returned to his original position, muttering, "No one else has that black silk stocking, only you have it! Alas! It's all in vain, in vain! Let's go, let's go!" Li Yi pointed at Dugu Long and Erzhu Hui and said, "I'm going to fight you two here! Either you die or I die tonight!"
Han Feng put his sword aside and walked out. Suddenly he stopped and said, "I am only helping you pass on the message. It is their business whether they come or not. Do you want to tell Sister Ruyun as well?"
Dugu Long waved his hands again and again, "No, no, no! Please don't! Auntie Yun spanked me when I was a kid! To be honest, I still feel a little nervous when I see her now. Please don't call her! Sister-in-law, please don't call her! Please don't!"
These three guys were drunk and staggering, they were just trying to hold on, they drank slowly and talked a lot, in a word, they just had to endure! After a while, Yuehua came to the tent, she saw the three people staggering, she walked in quietly, and kept approaching the sword that Han Feng had thrown on the ground.
Li Yi suddenly grabbed Yuehua's hand and said, "Sister is here? That's great. Sisters love brothers the most. Come on, sister, dance for us to cheer us up, so we can continue drinking!"
Erzhu Hui looked at Yuehua with a smirk on his face and said, "Brother Li, your sister is so beautiful. She doesn't look like a girl from the Central Plains. She must be from the Western Regions! There are so many beauties there! When I was in the Western Regions..."
Li Yi shouted, "Hey! A good man never talks about his past achievements! If you talk about the past, it means you are old! Why, Brother Erzhu can't drink anymore?"
"Bullshit! Why can't I drink anymore! Come on! Keep drinking! Um...little sister! Come and help me pour the wine!"
Yuehua immediately went to pour wine for Erzhu Hui after hearing this, but she was hiding a dagger! Li Yi reached out and grabbed Yuehua, pointed at Erzhu Hui and taunted: "Why did you let my sister help you pour wine! Could it be that you drank too much and couldn't lift the wine jar to pour the wine into your own bowl! If you drink too much, just say you drink too much! If not, I will help you pour! You see, I didn't drink too much!"
"Nonsense! I'm not drunk! Look!" Erzhu Hui picked up the wine jar and poured the wine into his bowl, but it all fell on his pants. Dugu Long and Li Yi pointed at him and laughed.
Erzhu Hui stood up and cursed: "Damn it! This wine bowl is too small! Too small! I think you two are no match for us! If you two are not convinced, let's take away all the bowls and drink directly from the jar!" As he said that, he raised the jar and poured wine into his own mouth, pouring much more on his body than into his mouth!
Li Yi pointed at him and laughed, "You're not drinking! It's such a waste! You deserve to be punished!"
Erzhu Hui finished drinking and suddenly fell to the ground, with the wine jar hitting his face. Dugu Long and Li Yi stretched their necks to check, and soon, Erzhu Hui's snoring came, and the two smiled knowingly. Dugu Long said, "Brother Li, since this guy is no longer able to do it, let's not fight over the victory or defeat at the wine table, but focus on the competition in three days."
Li Yi nodded and said, "That's right, then shall we stop here?"
"That's it!"
Li Yi raised his hand to salute, and then took Yuehua back to the tent. Shiyu saw Li Yi and Yuehua coming back, and immediately went forward to greet them. However, as soon as Li Yi entered the tent, he immediately released his talent to block out the sound, and then slapped Yuehua in the face! This scared Shiyu.
"You're crazy! Who told you to act on your own? Didn't you agree to control yourself?"
Yuehua covered her face and said angrily, "I can't wait to see him! Besides, you asked me to go, don't you want me to kill him?"
"I want to kill him, why would I need you? I can kill him during the competition! Didn't you say that killing him won't make you feel better? Aren't you going to kill his whole family?"
"I also want to kill his whole family! But he is the general of the Zhenbei Army! How can it be so easy to kill his whole family! What can you do? If you don't have any method, just let me wait, I can't wait!"
"Of course I have a way!"
Shiyu and Yuehua looked at Li Yi with surprise at the same time, and the latter said a few words lightly: "I will force him to rebel!"
"My husband, you can't say such things carelessly!"
"Besides the crime of rebellion, what other crime can be used to kill his entire family? I will continue to give him a sense of oppression, making him feel that the emperor wants to use him as a scapegoat and force him to rebel. In this way, we can justifiably kill his entire family!"
Yuehua was surprised and asked, "You can do something like this?"
"How do you know if you don't try? Do you think I let you go? You are from the Western Regions, he will recognize you at a glance. With his shrewdness, he will definitely guess that you are from Jiaofangsi. Then how did you get to Jiaofangsi? He naturally knows the answer!"
Shi Yu asked in confusion: "Cunning? Does the word cunning in your husband's name have anything to do with Er Zhu Hui?"
Li Yi sneered, "Do you think he is so weak that he can't withstand two of my attacks? He saw Brother Long coming and deliberately fell for it in order to hide his strength! He is very scheming!"
Shi Yu asked again: "My husband, do you mean that he is more powerful than Nangong Xue?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "Kung Fu has its own strengths and weaknesses. The Kung Fu I practiced completely restrains Nangong Xue, so I can easily subdue her. But Er Zhu Hui is a martial artist. The characteristic of a martial artist is that he is in his own world and will not be easily restrained. Under normal circumstances, it will take me at least fifty moves to defeat him."
"In that case, this guy is really a man of great talent and meticulous mind."
Li Yi looked at Yuehua and said, "We drank so much, and nothing happened to me and Brother Long, but you saw how drunk he was. He was just pretending! He just wanted to test you! If I hadn't stopped you, you would have been the one who died!"
Yuehua remembered that Erzhu Hui was fine even when the wine jar hit him in the face, and she realized that it was a pipe dream to assassinate a fourth-grade peak warrior with her dagger. She looked at Li Yi, calmed down, and said, "Brother, I will listen to you, everything you say, I will do whatever you tell me to do!"
Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay! Learn sword dance from your sister Han Feng in the next few days, and perform the dance for him next time! I will write the music score for you now, and Shiyu, you also practice the pipa. Our finale depends on this song and dance." The two nodded in agreement.
We switch the scene to Dugu Long. He returns to the tent and finds his brother Dugu Yu waiting for him, but he looks miserable. Dugu Long laughs and asks, "Did you vomit?"
Dugu Yu sighed and said, "He not only vomited, but he also drank two doses of sobering medicine!"
"Why are you forcing yourself to drink if you can't? Li Yi and I both have our own ways of sobering up. How can you compare?"
Dugu Yu was surprised and asked, "Xiu Yuan also has a way to sober up? My elder brother relies on Qi to sober up, so what does he rely on?"
Dugu Long shook his head and said, "How would I know? But it's impossible for a normal person to drink like us."
"Then how did Er Zhuhui survive until now?"
Dugu Long laughed and said, "He really is drinking with his life at stake. I don't know what he wants."
Dugu Yu asked in a low voice: "Brother, is there anyone secretly watching us?"
Dugu Long closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and replied after exhaling: "There is no one else except you and me, so tell me what you want to say."
"Li Yi said that after you fight him with all your strength, you will encounter the opportunity to be promoted to the extraordinary realm! He also said that if you choose to be promoted, he will let me become the prince and inherit the throne of the King of Zhenbei."
Dugu Long chuckled and said, "He has no say in this matter."
"No, he wasn't kidding! He said that His Majesty would definitely prefer to see a playboy like me become the King of Zhenbei. I think his surprise means that His Majesty has begun to fear the Northern Territory. He came here to compete with my eldest brother, which was my eldest brother's request, but why did he bring his family with him? He even specially asked Shiyu and others to sing and dance just now, I don't think this was unintentional!"
"Do you suspect he wants to deal with Erzhu Hui or us?"
"The chances of dealing with Erzhu Hui are higher. If Your Majesty wants to take action against us, the northern border will be in chaos! And the Queen Mother will not agree."
"Brother, don't you think that Your Majesty's southern expedition was very hasty this time? What kind of reason is it that Li Yi's family was attacked?"
"The southern expedition is obviously fake. Your Majesty must have other plans. I guess it is very likely that he wants to get rid of the Queen Mother's control! Look, the rainy season has passed, and the army is still stationed on the north bank of Luo River and has not moved. There is news that Your Majesty wants to move the capital to Luoyang!"
"Move the capital to Luoyang?"
