Chapter 115 Brother Richard: I am the overall situation of Western Xia!"Godfather, this is the grudge between me and Brother Richard. I will go and talk to him about it clearly." Murong Fei said. "No need, I'll go meet this Brother Richard." Murong Fu said, "King of Jin? What a big name! How dare you come to trouble me? You really don't know how to live or die!" "Foster father! Brother Richard is extremely powerful in Xixia. He is second only to two people and above ten thousand people. He should not be underestimated!" Murong Fei said solemnly, "Moreover, compared to the current emperor, many nobles support the King of Jin more." The real leader of Western Xia was Li Qiu Shui, and the second in command was Li Qianshun. Brother Richard, the King of Jin, has a high status, second only to these two. "Then go gather your team of Iron Harriers." Murong Fu said, "I'll ask Nurhai to gather the masters of Yipintang. We can't afford to lose the battle." At that moment, Murong Fu ignored Brother Richard's challenge outside and began to gather the people he could control. In Xixia, all he could control were Yipintang and the Three Hundred Iron Harriers. The three hundred Iron Kites are not so bad. They have just been given gold and their loyalty is high. As for Yipintang, Murong Fu was completely taking advantage of the power of others and using Li Qiushui's authority to manage it.
As for Sikong Xuan and others, they were completely loyal to Murong Fu. After all, Murong Fu is Sikong Xuan's only hope to unlock the life and death talisman. "Murong Fu, if you have the guts to steal my wife, then come out now!" Brother Richard was getting impatient waiting outside and was about to order his men to charge into Murong Fu's mansion when he saw Murong Fu walking out of the mansion with a large group of people. In the distance, warriors and masters from Yipintang kept rushing over after receiving Murong Fu's imperial edict. Brother Richard brought about five hundred soldiers, all fully armed. He himself was also fully armed, and was a fierce and powerful young general. Brother Richard is not as good-looking as Li Qianshun. Li Qianshun looks like a Han Chinese, while Brother Richard looks more like a Dangxiang person. Although he is young, he has a thick beard. I think when I get older, I will still be a man with a beautiful beard. Brother Richard seemed to recognize Murong Fu. When he saw Murong Fu, he said viciously: "Murong Fu, you are finally willing to come out? You are just a commoner, but you don't even kneel down to greet me when you see me. You are really arrogant." Murong Fu said, "Brother Richard, there is no need to say such nonsense. You disturbed the peace and brought soldiers to my mansion to cause trouble so early in the morning. What is your intention? Don't you know how close the relationship between me and your concubine is?" "I don't care about your nonsense!" Brother Richard said angrily, "Murong Fu, Tuoba Fei, my beloved concubine is missing! You must have stolen her! Hand her over quickly, or you will bear the consequences!" As he spoke, Brother Richard's face turned a little green. The princess has been missing for a whole night, so what good can come of that? Brother Richard estimated that Tuoba Fei had already put a celery-colored hat on him. Thinking of this, Brother Richard was filled with anger. He looked at Murong Fei with gritted teeth, wishing he could tear Murong Fei into pieces. Murong Fu sneered, "Brother Richard, your princess is missing. What does that have to do with me? If you want to find someone, you should go find Yun Zhonghe. He is the rapist who stole the princess. I have no interest in your princess." Brother Richard said angrily: "Tuoba Fei, this bastard, has harassed my princess many times before. But yesterday, after Tuoba Fei recognized the thief as his father and became your son, my princess disappeared. How could this matter have nothing to do with you?!" Murong Fu asked: "Do you have any evidence?"
Brother Richard said, "The guards and maids in my house have all had their acupuncture points pressed by extremely advanced acupuncture techniques. The masters in my house are unable to untie their acupuncture points. Only you, Murong Fu, can perform such advanced acupuncture techniques. Isn't this obvious?" "Does this count as evidence? I'll tell you one last time, I didn't touch your princess!" Murong Fu waved his hand and said, "Get out now. For Qiu Shui's sake, I can spare your life. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!" "Damn it!" Brother Richard was furious, "Murong Fu, do you really want me to search your mansion?!" "If you have the guts, come!" Murong Fu sneered, "Yipintang, listen to my orders, Murong Fei, listen to my orders, surround Brother Richard's men!" Murong Fei faithfully carried out Murong Fu's order and led the Iron Harriers to encircle Brother Richard. However, the warriors and masters of Yipintang were hesitating and procrastinating. Many people looked around and did not want to offend Brother Richard for Murong Fu. Murong Fu looked at Brother Richard. He seemed a little angry on the surface, but in fact he was calm and there was no ripple at all. He knew that Brother Richard was a famous general in the history of Western Xia and a talented person who should be won over. But Murong Fu understood one thing more clearly, that is, Brother Richard and Murong Fei had completely different statuses in the Xixia royal family. Murong Fei is a member of a side branch, and is almost out of the fifth generation. He is also being suppressed, so his sense of belonging to Western Xia is not that strong, so he can be won over. However, Brother Richard is the descendant of the previous emperor of Western Xia and the core ruling class of the Dangxiang. He is even qualified to inherit the throne. It is undoubtedly a pipe dream to want to win over such a person. It's like during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, trying to win over Yongzheng's younger brother, the Thirteenth Brother, to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Isn't that even more stupid than Zeng Jing? And talent is just like that! Many people are curious about why Pei County has so many talented people and anyone can become a founding father of the Han Dynasty. Many people are also curious about why Zhu Yuanzhang’s fellow villagers in Huaixi also produced so many talented people, any one of whom could be used to govern the country. In fact, these people just followed the right boss, entered a successful platform, and eventually gained experience. In fact, for a feudal empire, to govern a country, the emperor only needed a winning coalition of a few hundred people. Often one county can meet such talent reserves. After all, under the county system, a county is actually a small imperial court, which may be small but has all the necessary facilities. Murong Fei followed his boss Murong Fu. If Murong Fu succeeds in founding a country in the future, he will be as talented as Xiao He and Han Xin, and will be talked about by future generations. As a politician, you only need to consider how to gain power, how to maintain power, and how to control the country's income. Everything else doesn't matter. Everything is for power, power is everything! After Murong Fu's organization was successfully established and had a certain reputation, there were many talented people in the world who wanted to work for the imperial family, and many great scholars who wanted to debate for him, so he had no worries about not having anyone to use him. Murong Fu estimated that when he reached Shandong, Duke Yansheng would take the lead in drafting a letter of surrender and singing praises to him, Murong Fu, for the prosperous era. While Murong Fu was thinking, Brother Richard saw the performance of the people in Yipintang and laughed: "Murong Fu, do you think that you can be domineering in my Great Xia Kingdom with the support of the Concubine? You are too naive! These people in Yipintang dare not offend me for you, they know the consequences of offending me! You are just a commoner, and I am the prince of a country!" Murong Fu took a look and found that many masters of Yipintang did not take any action. Frightened by Murong Fu's powerful power, they did not join Brother Richard.
But they didn't want to offend Brother Richard, so they chose not to follow Murong Fu's orders. "I have to thank you for helping me pick out these fickle fence-sitters!" Murong Fu said coldly, "It's just right for Yipintang to get rid of the dross and retain the essence, and eliminate some hidden dangers!" As he spoke, Murong Fu's figure flashed and he disappeared into the crowd like a ghost. Tianshan Six Yang Palm, activate! With Murong Fu's skills, none of these people could withstand one of his moves. Murong Fu immediately became invincible and killed people in all directions. He almost killed a person with the blink of an eye. The Nine-Winged Taoist and other hesitant masters were beaten to death by Murong Fu before they could react. By the time everyone reacted, more than twenty of the hesitant masters and warriors of Yipintang had already been killed by Murong Fu. At this moment, even Brother Richard felt frightened. Murong Fu is so cruel and ruthless! Murong Fu looked at the rest of the Yipintang people and said coldly, "As long as the Yipintang name is there, I can recruit people at any time! Anyone who retreats in the face of a battle and disobeys my orders will be killed without mercy! Now, surround Brother Richard!" The smell of blood began to spread, and the rest of the Yipintang masters and warriors were immediately frightened pale by Murong Fu's brutality. In fear, they followed orders and surrounded Brother Richard and his group. If they offended Brother Richard, they would be punished in the future, but if they offended Murong Fu, they would be purged now. They can still tell which one is light and which is serious. Brother Richard's face changed and he said, "Murong Fu, I underestimated you!" "Kill!" Murong Fu did not reply, but said to Murong Fei, "Charge together!" As he said that, Murong Fu took the lead and rushed towards Brother Richard. Brother Richard was greatly surprised. He never expected Murong Fu to be so decisive, and he quickly commanded his troops to defend. Brother Richard is a great general and his command is flawless. The soldiers and horses around him were also very elite. It would take some time for Tuoba Fei's 300 men to break through Richard's army. But Murong Fu was a person who could not be judged by common sense. After he rushed to the front, he unleashed his powerful palm power and knocked all the Xixia soldiers in front of him flying. One hundred and seventy years of true energy is so domineering! Boom! Both the man and the horse were knocked flying by Murong Fu's palm force and rolled to the ground. People screamed and horses neighed. Mess into a pot of porridge. Murong Fu forcibly opened a gap in Richard's military formation. Murong Fei naturally would not give up this good opportunity. He led the Iron Harriers to rush into the gap and killed Richard's troops by surprise. Brother Richard's five hundred soldiers were thrown into disarray.
Murong Fu followed the principle of "shoot the horse first when shooting a man, and capture the leader first when capturing a thief" and rushed straight towards Brother Richard. "Protect the prince!" Brother Richard is naturally protected by experts. There were two old men, one tall and one short, both wearing green robes. At this moment, one of them used masculine palm power and the other used feminine palm power to attack Murong Fu. The martial arts of these two old men are almost as good as those of the elders of the Beggars' Sect in the martial arts world. They can definitely be called masters. Unfortunately, he met Murong Fu, and that was completely not enough. "How dare a mere firefly light compete with the sun and the moon?!" Murong Fu shouted coldly and used the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi technique casually. Bang, bang! The palm power of the two old men hit each other's vital points, and they flew out like kites with broken strings. "Ah, the Gusu Murong family's way of returning the favor is truly incredible!" The tall and thin old man screamed and spoke while spitting out blood. At this moment, Murong Fu came in front of Brother Richard. Brother Richard suddenly used the Xiaoyaoyou Palm Technique. It turns out that Brother Richard also knows martial arts, and his martial arts skills are not low. He also learned the basic martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect. However, the gap between Brother Richard and Murong Fu is too big. Murong Fu didn't need to change his moves. He just relied on his powerful internal energy to make Richard's limbs numb and unable to use his strength. Then Murong Fu grabbed Richard by the collar and lifted him up high. "Brother Richard, your life or death now depends on my thoughts!" Murong Fu said coldly. "Murong Fu! You can't kill me, and you absolutely dare not kill me! I know what you want to do in Daxia. If you kill me, Daxia will turn against you and will never help you again. Instead, it will hinder you! The ambitions passed down from generation to generation in your Murong family will be difficult to achieve!" Brother Richard did not expect Murong Fu to be so brave, but he was still not panicked, because he knew what Murong Fu's weakness was. "I am in Daxia, the representative of the Dangxiang nobles, and my brother also thinks highly of me. I am the overall situation of Daxia, and it is also your overall situation! If you kill me, you will destroy the overall situation! I hope you will put the overall situation first!" Brother Richard seemed to know Murong Fu's idea of restoring his country, and his words to Murong father and son were perfectly controlled. After all, in the original novel, Murong Bo would rather commit suicide to make amends in order to get Xiao Feng and his son to help him restore his country, which shows how persistent he is in the cause of restoring his country. In the original novel, Murong Fu, in order to restore his country, did not hesitate to become the Dragon King Lu Bu, and wanted to force Duan Yanqing to be his adoptive father, hoping to restore his country with the power of Dali. For those in the Murong clan who are obsessed with restoring their country, as long as they consider the impact of killing Brother Richard, they will definitely put the overall situation first. So, Brother Richard looked very confident. Even if I am already at the mercy of others, I am still the meat. "Really?" Murong Fu's eyes turned cold. At this moment, a voice came: "Master Murong, wait a minute, show mercy!" It was a pleasant female voice. Then, from a distance, a group of Xixia palace maids appeared carrying a sedan chair. A masked girl dressed in white walked out of the gorgeous sedan chair.
Although her face couldn't be seen clearly, the girl's slim figure was already very arousing. The leading maid announced the identity of the person who came out: "Princess Yinchuan of the Great Xia Kingdom has arrived!" It turned out that the visitor was Li Qinglu, the famous Princess Yinchuan of Western Xia. The person who spoke just now was also Li Qinglu. "Master Murong, this is a misunderstanding." Li Qinglu said, "It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. I hope you can spare the prince of Jin for the sake of the concubine. The prince of Jin is also unaware of the truth and has been deceived by that woman." Murong Fu said: "Princess Yinchuan? I have heard for a long time that Princess Yinchuan is extremely beautiful and is the most beautiful woman in Xixia. It's a pity that you don't show your true face to people, so I can't see your beauty. It's a pity. However, the princess came at the right time. Could it be the concubine's intention?" Princess Yinchuan said, "Yes, it was the Queen Mother's idea." Murong Fu said: "The Concubine Dowager has helped me a lot. For the sake of the Concubine Dowager, I will spare your life for now." As he said that, Murong Fu let go of Brother Richard and threw him to the ground like trash. Brother Richard looked indignant. He thought Li Qiushui was deliberately giving Murong Fu a way out. "Uncle Wang, I have already investigated the matter of your princess Ning Xiu. There is a hidden story. In fact, Ning Xiu has a daughter." Li Qinglu told the story of Ning Xiu, the gold digger, vividly and with more details than Ning Xiu herself confessed. Brother Richard looked bitter. He was a smart man. Recalling Ning Xiu's performance, he knew that Ning Xiu was probably just using him. He had played with women for so many years, but this time, he was played by a woman. "How hateful! Where is that bitch? She is not a virgin, but she lied to me and said that you, Tuoba Fei, took her red pill. I didn't expect that you, Tuoba Fei, are even worse than me and were easily toyed around by this bitch." Brother Richard felt mentally balanced immediately when he remembered that Tuoba Fei was even more of a bootlicker than him. Murong Fei said calmly: "I killed her." Brother Richard said, "That's too good for her. If it were me, I would have tortured her to death to relieve my hatred. However, Murong Fu, Tuoba Fei, I will remember you! I don't want to mention that bitch, but I will not forgive you! Let's go!" As he said this, Brother Richard jumped on his horse and ordered his troops to leave. He had been so embarrassed today that he didn't want to stay here and make a fool of himself any longer. PS: I took the train at 4 pm yesterday afternoon and sat in a hard seat for 20 hours to get to Suzhou. My back and waist ached from sitting so much that when I returned to the rental house, it was already : pm. My ears are still buzzing and my brain is not very clear, but I don’t have the points to take a leave, so I can only barely write a 4000-word update. Have a good rest tonight, and resume updating 8000-10000 words tomorrow. After all, it is much more convenient to work with a computer, and the mobile phone is still not easy to use.
