After leaving Honglu Temple, Bai Yu did not return to the Ming Palace, but went to the Jinnan Palace. He had not seen Jinhua for some days and missed him very much.
The Daqian Dynasty also had a custom of not being able to see each other before marriage, but since Bai Yu and Jinhua had been inseparable in the Demon Slayer Department for more than two months, they had already become intimate, so there was no need to avoid this.
The Princess of Jinnan, the former Madam of the Marquis of Jinnan, Su Hua, smiled brightly and did not stop her, "Jinhua is in the back garden, you can go find her yourself."
Bai Yu met Jinhua in the back garden and saw that she was playing the game of "catching people while blindfolded" with a group of maids. He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. Jinhua actually liked to have fun, but she acted like she was obedient and obedient in front of him. lady.
Bai Yu deliberately hid behind the rockery. When Jin Hua was blindfolded and trying to catch someone, he walked over, put his finger like a sword on his mouth, and made a silent gesture to the maids.
The maids were smiling and didn't say anything.
Seeing Jinhua opening her arms to grab someone, Bai Yu took the initiative to go over and was hugged by her.
"You're too stupid to catch me so quickly. No other maid in the house is so stupid."
Jinhua was not happy about catching someone, but angry.
She raised her hand and touched Bai Yu's face. If you catch someone, you have to identify them. This is the rule of the game.
Soon, Jinhua noticed something was wrong. This maid's figure was too strong and too tall... This was not a maid but a man!
Her body froze, and she suddenly punched the man in the abdomen, knocking him away. Her voice was cold, "You dare to take advantage of me, are you impatient?"
This... the maids all opened their mouths and froze.
Bai Yu fell heavily on the grass a few feet away. He felt like cooked shrimps. He felt a burning pain in his abdomen. His stomach was churning and he almost vomited.
Jinhua tore off the cloth covering her eyes, her beautiful eyes were cold and stern.
When she noticed Bai Yu, she was startled, then her face turned pale, and she rushed over in a hurry, hurriedly helping Bai Yu up and checking his injuries.
Her beautiful eyes turned red and misted with tears. Soon, the tears fell down like broken beads, "Brother Bai Yu, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you."
Bai Yu felt distressed, raised his hand to wipe her tears, and forced a smile, "Okay, okay, don't cry, I know you didn't mean it."
Jinhua shouted at the maids who were in a daze, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and get the potion?"
Only then did the maids react and disperse in a hurry.
After hearing the news about Bai Yu's injury, Su Hua rushed over and found out what happened after asking. She was a little speechless and a little funny.
Bai Yu learned from the pain and came to a conclusion: female warriors should not be teased...
At the same time, another conclusion was drawn: his ranking of "fifth in the world" is somewhat "inflated"...
You know, he now has two character cards, and the basic attributes are superimposed. His body is much stronger than ordinary people, but he can't even withstand a punch from Jinhua. This is not even Jinhua's full attack. If a fifth-level martial artist fights with all his strength, If it breaks out, it may penetrate his abdomen directly.
"My character card has five skills, and the Minion character card has four skills. There are nine skills in total. They are all 'active' skills, which means that they can only be effective if I release them on my own initiative. Jinhua just hit me. One punch, it happened suddenly, I didn't react at all, and I didn't have time to use it, so even if I have nine skills, I have none."
Bai Yu thought about his own shortcomings, "It would be great if the character card had a 'passive' skill. Even if I don't react, it can help me resist for a while and not be so vulnerable."
Jinhua shed tears while smearing him with the contusion medicine. She couldn't stop sobbing. No matter how Bai Yu comforted him, it was of no use. Instead, it made Bai Yu feel guilty and he would never dare to tease her again.
Su Hua invited a doctor to come over and take a look. After the doctor looked at her, he said it was nothing serious. Only then did Jinhua stop crying.
Jinhua helped Bai Yu into a guest room and let him lie down to recover from his injuries. She asked the maid to bring a brocade stool. She sat on the edge of the couch, looking at Bai Yu with her beautiful eyes still red and swollen. She puffed her lips and said,
"Brother Bai Yu hasn't come to see me for so many days. I thought he had forgotten me."
Bai Yu grabbed her hand and said, "How could it be? I have a lot of things to do these days. I came to see you right after I finished my work. But Jinhua returned to her parents' home, Jinnan Palace, and seemed to have a great time. She didn't think about it at all.
I."
A sweet smile appeared on the corner of Jinhua's mouth, "This is my home. Where is my parents' home? We are not married yet."
Bai Yu looked at her beautiful face and said, "Jinhua, don't change the subject. What I said is that you don't think about me."
Jinhua blushed and said, "Yes, I miss Brother Bai Yu every day."
"Really?"
"Um."......
Seeing the young couple saying thoughtful words, Su Hua winked at the maids with her beautiful eyes, quietly left with them, and gently closed the door.
In the evening, Bai Yu had dinner at the Jinnan Palace and felt less pain, so he planned to return to the Ming Palace. Jinhua did not let him move around and let him rest in the Jinnan Palace. Jinnan King and Su Hua also let him
Don't move around. They know Jinhua's strength very well. This punch is no joke. You must take good care of it, otherwise it will be troublesome if you leave hidden wounds.
Bai Yu had no choice but to stay, and spent the next and third days "recuperating" in the Jinnan Palace. He was nominally responsible for receiving the envoys from the major vassal states, but in fact the reception was handled by Honglu Temple, so there was no need for him to do so.
He does everything personally.
The envoys from the princes came to pay homage to the new emperor. This ceremony was very solemn. The dynasty had already prepared it, but they just had to wait for a very auspicious day to complete it.
After waiting for a long time, the envoys who were arranged to live in the mansion under Honglu Temple began to be restless and went out in groups.
Messengers who love liveliness, go shopping, eat, drink and have fun to feel the prosperity of the capital.
Elegant messenger, enjoy some places of interest.
The messenger who understands life lingers in the brothel and boat.
Zong could not keep these envoys in the mansion all the time, and Honglu Temple could not prevent them from going out.
Although many "overt and covert" guards were sent to follow these envoys, there were still hidden dangers.
In particular, some people who "obstructed the country" were very resistant to these envoys and believed that the dynasty should send a large army to wipe out all these vassal states. However, they did not consider that the dynasty had just experienced a battle between three princes for the throne and was in a period of "weakness".
It is already very difficult to barely hold on to the Tianzhuiguan Pass. The dynasty does not have the extra troops and war materials to start a war with the major vassal states.
They were so passionate that even though they knew about the difficulties of the dynasty, they simply ignored it. With such extreme thoughts, they inevitably had some minor frictions and conflicts with the envoys, and Honglu Temple was very busy.
What's more, they directly set up an arena and challenged these messengers by name.
After two provocations, under the persuasion of Honglu Temple, these envoys tolerated the idea of "preserving their strength". However, the provocations increased too many times, and these envoys could no longer bear it, so they accepted the challenge and stepped onto the ring to fight with these "
The strong men of the people" start a duel.
As you can imagine, these envoys were top experts selected from thousands of major vassal states, and the "powerful people among the people" were severely beaten.
I heard that more than seventy arenas were set up by the people, but they were all destroyed by these envoys.
For a moment, there was no sound in the entire imperial city, and no so-called "powerful folk" jumped out to challenge. Everyone could only place their hopes on the official candidates of the dynasty.
Dynasty is obviously also good at "operations" and took advantage of this opportunity to announce the lineup.
Unlimited competition: Yuezun, Jin Nanwang, Sizheng of the Demon Slayer Department.
Restricted young generation competition: Ming Wang Bai Yu, the third son of the dynasty Ning Yi, Yin Cong, Yang Youtian, and Zheng Yaner.
The atmosphere of the competition was pushed to its peak, and the auspicious day of pilgrimage also happened to arrive. The Dynasty took the opportunity just right.
