Nightfall Chapter 274: The only option
Volume Two Winter Lake Chapter 274 The Only Choice
In the wind and snow, the **** umbrella slowly came to the gate of the palace, stopped in front of the hundred officials of Datang Wenwu, and then gathered it, revealing the figures of Ning Que and Sangsang under the umbrella.
The imperial city was completely silent before, and only the whimper of the cold wind rolling in the snow, the rustle of the snow falling on the ice of the moat, and the sound of people's own breathing.
These big figures looked at Ning Que and frowned at the same time. They seemed to be very puzzled about what Mr. Thirteen of the Academy wanted to do when General Xiahou left Beijing.
The complex look and confusion are actually disguise.
They all know the rumor and know that the military has investigated the connection between Ning Que and those Chun’s murder cases, so they can guess his intentions, but Chang’an City has been calm for a long time from summer to autumn to winter. When the whole world thought that Ning Que had given up, he actually appeared.
In the silence, everyone looked vigilant, hiding their anxiety and looking at Ning Que. The Wenyuange Scholar Zeng Jing in the crowd looked at Sangsang beside Ning Que with an even more worried expression.
Prince Li Peiyan took a step forward and looked at Ning Que and said angrily: "What do you want to do?"
General Xu Shi looked at Ning Que blankly and said, "If you want to assassinate my Grand Tang general in front of the civil and military forces of Manchu, I will admire your courage and stupidity very much."
The heavy snow continued to fall towards the imperial city.
Ning Que brushed off a few thick snow on his shoulders and said: "Even if I have this courage, I won't be stupid to this degree, but since I'm here, I always have to do something."
Xu Shi lightly mocked and said: "Tang Law is in front, what can you do?"
This change in front of the imperial city gate shocked the Yu Lin army and the Ouchi guards. The **** leader who sent Xiahou to the exit had already ran to the palace at the fastest speed, and wanted to get the news here. Inform His Majesty the Emperor.
Many members of the court came from around the square, walked behind the adults, opened the umbrellas to cover the adults from the wind and snow, and suddenly many flowers of different colors bloomed in front of the Zhuqiang.
Ning Que's **** umbrella has been collected, and Sang Sauna is in his hands. The master and servant stood calmly in the wind and snow, looking at the more and more umbrellas in front of them.
The shadow of the umbrella enveloped the cheeks of the adults, and they could no longer see the emotions on their faces, nor could they see the thoughts in their eyes.
Ning Que looked at Xu Shiping and said: "Tang law is the first. This is the iron law of the academy. As a disciple of the academy and a master student, of course I will abide by it. Therefore, the military recently investigated whether I was a suspect in those murders. , In my opinion, it is really absurd to the extreme."
Xu Shi frowned slightly and said: "So many elders from the court, standing in the wind and snow talking to you, do you want to clear your grievances for yourself?"
Ning Que ignored the leader of the Datang military, turned to look at Xiahou, and said, "Many people are guessing what I will do. I believe you have been guessing. In fact, since the day I decided to kill you At first, I was guessing what I would do."
It is true. The most important figures in the Tang Empire in front of the imperial city have been speculating about what Ning Que would do. Even if they watched him appear at this time, they didn't know what he was going to do.
The cold wind, cold snow, and the vermillion wall were getting colder, and Ning Que looked at Xiahou and said seriously: "It wasn't until autumn that I finally understood what I should do."
"I want to challenge you."
……
……
His voice was not very clear in the whistling wind and snow, but the content of this sentence clearly penetrated the wind and snow and reached everyone's ears.
The voice gradually disappeared on the vermilion palace wall. A thin piece of paper floated out of Ning Que’s sleeve, ignoring the heavy snow falling from the sky, drifting slowly and straight to Xiahou’s body, Huang No matter how strong the wind is in front of the city, no matter how heavy the snow is, it seems that it won't have any effect on this thin paper.
Xiahou silently looked at Ning Que, who was not far away, and looked at the piece of white paper that seemed to be held by countless threads, slowly drifting over to the white paper. There was no emotion on his face covered by the shadow of the umbrella.
He raised his right hand and grabbed the thin paper floating in front of him.
That is a challenge paper.
……
……
From the moment Ning Que said that he wanted to challenge Xiahou, the front of the imperial city became quieter and silent, and even the sound of the wind and snow seemed to disappear. Everyone’s ears echoed what he said. In other words, all eyes were on the thin paper that was moving slowly and firmly in the wind and snow.
Ning Que will challenge General Xiahou head-on? Everyone thought they had heard it wrong, because in their opinion, this would never happen.
Of course, the people in the court knew that Ning Que was a direct disciple of the Master. He also learned a talismanic skill from Master Yan Se. He has been a master of the Dong Profound Realm in less than two years of cultivation.
Dongxuan upper realm, in the eyes of mortals in the world, is already close to a first-class figure of immortals, but decades ago, General Xiahou was already the pinnacle of martial arts and one of the most powerful men in the world. Why does Ning Que have the qualifications to challenge Xiahou?
It's like a flower is going to challenge a forest, a praying mantis is going to challenge a carriage, an egg is going to challenge a rock mountain, and a beggar is going to challenge the great majesty.
General Xu Shi thought silently in his heart, probably Ning Que was really driven mad, if not mad, how could he do such a crazy thing?
The expression on His Royal Highness Li Peiyan's face was a bit stiff, but in an instant he became gentle again. He felt that he might have guessed Ning Que's thoughts.
——The hatred of killing the father is not shared, and it is impossible to violate the will of the academy and the law of Tang, so I will challenge Xiahou for a game, even if I lose, it is considered to be confessed.
The people in front of the imperial city, after being shocked, came up with ideas in these two directions. If Ning Que was not crazy, then he would challenge General Xiahou just to seek spiritual comfort.
Looking at Ning Que bathed in the wind and snow, watching his calm expression, the big men didn't think he was really crazy, so they thought that nothing too **** would happen next.
Ning Que cannot defeat General Xiahou. Even if General Xiahou wins this duel, thinking of the Academy and Master, it is impossible to really kill the Thirteenth gentleman.
Yes, it should be like this.
However, the next scenes directly destroyed all their imagination and expectations.
Ning Que took a small knife from Sangsang, pierced the palm of his left hand with the blade, and then began to move. The blade moved slowly on the palm, and the sharp blade slowly cut a long cut. , The blood began to ooze, and the slightly white fleshy skin that was turned out was instantly dyed red.
An exclamation sounded in front of the imperial city, as well as the sound of inhaling air-conditioning. People watched the blade slowly cutting through his palm, as if they felt that the sharp blade was cutting their body, which was extremely painful.
Ning Que was not affected by these exclaims. The expression on his face was calm and focused. It seemed that he was not cutting his palm, but was about to carve a flower in his palm.
"Ning Que! You are crazy!"
Zeng Jing, an academician of Wenyuange University, could no longer remain silent, walked out of the crowd with anxious expression, watching Sangsang sternly shouted: "Don't you stop him!"
Sangsang lowered his head and looked at the boots stepping in the snow.
His Royal Highness's face suddenly became extremely pale, and General Xu Shi's fluttering eyebrows suddenly landed, as if it was difficult to bear the load, and the faces of everyone in front of the imperial city were extremely shocked.
Only Xiahou remained expressionless and silent. He calmly and intently watched Ning Que cut his palms, and the two iron eyebrows slowly raised in the shadow.
It was not the pain that Ning Que might have caused by cutting his palms, but the meaning of his actions that shocked and even felt incredible.
Tang people are martial arts, their temperament is simple and direct, and they often throw their fists at each other if they don't agree with each other. Dueling has become the most common sight in Chang'an. Two years ago in the spring night, Ning Que and Sangsang returned to Chang'an from Weicheng, and they saw a duel on the street that night.
At the time, he explained to the little maid next to him that the rule of Chang'an duel is to cut the sleeves to represent the challenge, and that is called a live game, as long as the winner is divided, but if the challenger is in his left palm If everything is cut off, it means that this duel is a dead end.
At this time in the wind and snow in the imperial city, Ning Que slowly cut open the palm of his left hand, which represented the challenge he issued to Xiahou today. It was not the spiritual comfort that people had previously given, but a It must be divided into life and death.
The civil and military officials present, although their status is respected, and they are unlikely to encounter challenges, but after all, they all live in the city of Chang'an, and they don't know this famous rule.
So they were shocked, even pale.
Today’s challenge, in their opinion, is that General Xiahou will surely win. However, if it is really a dead end, if Ning Que is dead, as his master’s direct disciple, he will still face the Tang Dynasty. Bring a terrifying impact.
Li Peiyan looked pale and stared at Ning Que, and said, "You plan to use your life in exchange for the dean's anger? Is it worth it? And what kind of character the dean is, how can you use it?"
The blade has cut through the root of his palm, Ning Que stopped his movements, raised his head, the expression on his face is still so calm, it seems that the pain in his palm has no effect on him.
He looked at the prince, and said: "What does this matter to your Royal Highness? Are you afraid that I will challenge you next?"
Xu Shi looked at him blankly and said: "Life and death duel requires official approval. I can tell you that in the entire Datang court, no one dares to approve this duel."
"When the Taoist monk came to challenge me, it was approved by the military department. When Liu Yiqing challenged me, it was also approved by the military department. I challenged General Xiahou today. Isn't the military department approved?"
Ning Que looked at him and asked seriously: "Does my Datang Army still have a face?"
Xu Shi frowned slightly and stopped talking.
Ning Que looked at everyone in front of the imperial city and said: "You all said that Tang Law is the first. Well, I will challenge according to Tang Law's rules. I want to know who can stop me?"
Then he looked at Xiahou and said, "Unless you don't accept it."
Xiahou slowly rubbed the thin challenge book between his fingers, with a weird expression on his face, looked at him and said: "Your choice is indeed beyond my expectation."
Ning Que said: "I have never taken an unusual path."
Xiahou flicked the thin paper in his hand, and said: "I saw this paper slowly walking in the wind and snow, and I knew that your mental acuity is very high. It is a pity that your knowledge of the snow-capped mountains, air, and sea is not well understood. The control of vitality is extremely terrible, even worse than the Dongxuan realm you should have right now. Such a terrible you unexpectedly want to challenge this general across the border. I can only say that you are on a dead end."
Ning Que looked at him and said: "I don't have any other way to go, so I have to go this way. As for whether it's a dead end, I don't know until the end."
Xiahou said: "For you, challenging me head-on is the worst choice."
Ning Que said: "Since it is the only choice, then it is the best choice."
……
……
(Ning Que’s choice was made when I opened the book. It was the night he and Sangsang entered Chang’an City. The latter article was confirmed. It’s really the only choice, the best choice, but He is not Xu Le, he does not know the concept of courage like a man, but he is determined after careful consideration after helplessness. Report here, there is still some time before killing Xiahou, this matter is just a bone, I have other things to write , Those are meat, very important, and there is still today.)
