Chapter 245 The storm is coming
Upon hearing Shen Li's words, Jia Daoshi looked surprised: "Really that amazing?"
Shen Li nodded, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes as she looked at Xin Dewu: "If I had known, I should have killed him on the way!"
"So ruthless?" Jia Daoshi gasped.
At this time, the delegation from Longwu Kingdom also discovered that there was some chaos and turmoil on the Dajing side, so they were very pleased with themselves.
The eldest prince, Zhan Beichen, stood up and said arrogantly, "Your Majesty, it seems that your Great Jing Dynasty is preparing to admit defeat! If you admit defeat, then there is no need to compete in this match. Of course, Sifang City and Yue City will belong to us. In addition, there is also the treasure map of the Great Qing Dynasty."
Saintess Murong Nishang also smiled: "Prince Shen, do you know why your talented lady Liu Ruyan didn't come? It's because Lord Xin sent her a couplet, and I'm afraid she hasn't come up with a matching one yet!"
"By the way, Prince Shen, I, the Holy Maiden, would like to make a bet with you. Whoever loses will have to cripple their own martial arts. How about it!"
This Murong Nishang is truly ruthless; making Shen Li cripple her own martial arts is more painful than killing her!
Shen Li was furious. She walked back to her seat, picked up her wine glass, and under the guise of drinking, said softly, "Shall we play a couplet?"
Jia Dao said honestly: You asked if I'm going to go or not, of course I'm going, otherwise I'm not a man!
"Of course, we'll definitely go! Stand the knife up straight and see how I cripple this saintess!"
Upon hearing Jia Daoshi's words, Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Li trusted Jia Daoshi very much. Although she had never seen him compose couplets before, since Jia Daoshi said it was possible, then it must be possible!
At this moment, Ji Wuxin, Ji Bingyan, and the others all looked at Jia Daoshi. They knew who Shen Li was, and that she dared to agree to fight Xin Dewu must be because of this young man's help.
Xin Dewu chuckled: "Prince Shen is indeed a heroine, a true heroine among women. In that case, shall we begin? Since we are the guests, I will start with the first couplet!"
That old scoundrel is truly despicable!
Ji Wuxin frowned as well, letting Xin Dewu go first, because it would be embarrassing if he couldn't match it!
However, since they've already said that, it would be unbecoming of a great power to refuse.
Shen Li was aware of this, and could only reluctantly agree.
Xin Dewu, with one hand behind his back and the other holding a folding fan, pondered for a moment and said, "Two monkeys are cutting wood deep in the mountains. Don't underestimate how the monkeys will fight back!"
Upon hearing the first line of the couplet, Shen Li knew that the other party was insulting her. How dare they call her a monkey?
That old bastard's mind is indeed extremely vicious; no wonder he can drive people to the point of vomiting blood and dying of anger!
Shen Li turned to look at Jia Daoshi, who casually handed her a slip of paper.
“Lord Shen, please answer.” Xin Dewu said with a sneer.
Both Ji Wuxin and Ji Bingyan looked at Shen Li at the same time.
The great Confucian scholars of the court were still deep in thought at this time.
"A horse is stuck in the mud; how does the old beast get its hoof out?"
Shen Li's cold voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, Xin Dewu's face darkened.
I was called an old beast!
Upon hearing this, Ji Wuxin felt a surge of satisfaction and immediately laughed, "Lord Xin, how is this line?"
Xin Dewu glared at Jia Daoshi and snorted coldly, "It can only be considered a draw!"
At this moment, Murong Nishang, along with the three princes of Longwu Kingdom and Shangguan Linglong, all looked at Jia Daoshi.
Jia Daoshi's actions just now were too obvious.
At the same time, Jia Daoshi had already handed a written note to Shen Li.
"Xin, Geng, Ji, Wu, Ding, Bing, Yi!"
Shen Li's clear and powerful voice rang out again.
Everyone present looked bewildered after hearing this, not understanding what it meant.
Empress Ji Wuxin, Saintess Murong Nishang, and Shangguan Linglong were all completely bewildered.
Upon hearing this, Xin Dewu's face darkened even further, looking extremely unpleasant.
Actually, Shen Li didn't know what it was either, but judging from Xin Dewu's expression, she knew it was definitely not a nice thing to say!
Xin Dewu was stunned for a long while before glaring fiercely at Jia Daoshi and gritting his teeth, saying, "We are the envoy delegation of the Longwu Kingdom, how dare you humiliate me!"
Shen Li chuckled inwardly: No wonder he's the man I've chosen!
Ji Wuxin was displeased: "Lord Xin, how is this an insult to you?"
Xin Dewu was furious: "Xin, Geng, Ji, Wu, Ding, Bing, Yi, only Jia is left. This is insulting me, a turtle! A turtle is a bastard!"
"puff……"
Ji Wuxin couldn't help but cover her face.
On the other side of the Great Jing Dynasty, there was also a burst of laughter.
Hearing these laughs, Xin Dewu's face grew even uglier.
Murong Nishang was also furious: "Lord Xin, we can't just let this go like this, let's go back too!"
Xin Dewu looked troubled. The other party's first line was clever, insulting without using vulgar language. He really couldn't have thought of it for the time being!
"Fine! You guys win this round!"
"Prince Shen, I think you don't need to be a mouthpiece anymore. I've long since figured out that it was that young man who was passing you notes. Make him come out, and I'll confront him face to face!"
Xin Dewu was getting a little carried away at this point and started naming names.
Brush brush!
All eyes were on Jia Daoshi!
For a time, Jia Daoshi became the real focus of this diplomatic confrontation!
……
At this moment, a fierce battle was raging at Mantuo Manor.
The town of Yilan, not far away, was also in turmoil at this time.
"Uncle Thirteen, why does the city seem much quieter today?" Bao Youwei and Bao Longxing led a group of constables on patrol on the city wall.
The usually bustling town of Yilan is now very quiet.
There's a feeling that a storm is brewing.
“That’s obvious. Today, our Empress is meeting with the delegation from Longwu Kingdom. The Divine Might Army from the capital has taken over the guards of the four gates. How could those martial arts practitioners dare to come out and wander around?” Bao Longxing said calmly.
“I have a bad feeling about this. Constable Xing just reported that before dawn this morning, all the martial arts figures in the city quietly left the inn and left the city, and their whereabouts are now unknown!” Bao Youwei said. “It is said that there are even members of the Sun Moon Cult among them!”
"The Sun Moon Cult? Really?" Bao Longxing was completely bewildered.
The world is not at peace now, and there are many sects and factions in the martial arts world.
The Sun Moon Cult, like the Ming Cult, is an organization within the martial arts world.
However, the Sun Moon Cult is different from the Ming Cult.
The Ming Cult had previously caused a great disturbance in Kyoto and had been reported by the Imperial City Guard to be a rebel party!
The Sun Moon Cult, on the other hand, operates in a much more low-key and mysterious manner, and has never had any major conflicts with the imperial court. In addition, it has cooperated with the Fifth Prince Wu Quan, so few people pay attention to it.
However, a while ago, they were inexplicably besieged by the Ninth Prince Wu Qingye, and their headquarters, including many of their branches, were destroyed.
The Holy Maiden of the Sun Moon Sect escaped with a group of elders, and their whereabouts are unknown!
I never expected these guys to show up at this time.
There must be some unspeakable secret here!
"Send someone to inform the Divine Might Army and report the situation in the city truthfully!" Bao Longxing thought for a moment and finally gave the order.
"Uncle Thirteen is wise!"
