After the courtiers walked out of the Rinzheng Hall, they did not go back to their respective offices as usual. Instead, they found their seats among the cases on both sides of the square. After taking their seats, they laughed and chatted with their colleagues on the left and right.
Changde had been waiting at the door when the officials began to leave the court, silently following Emperor Jing until Emperor Jing took his seat at the front.
The envoys of Qi also had their seats, but the expressions on their faces were not very good.
It was originally a very serious and formal competition, but it seemed to have turned into a performance. Jingguo officials sat on both sides to watch, including envoys from other countries. I heard that even their family members would come soon, and the good competition turned into a group of people watching.
Busy, this is undoubtedly a great insult to them.
Li Yi also just found out that the Empress and many other ladies from Kyoto would also come here after their love-giving activities.
His current title is county uncle, and even if he is thrown into the circle of powerful people in Kyoto City, he still cannot make a splash, but his position on the field is very forward, with a small roof above him to block the sun. He has such privileges
There weren't many, only about a dozen in the whole place.
Naturally, the county uncle does not have this qualification, but Li Xuan does. The location here is large enough and the view is broad enough. It is a rare treasure.
It was nice to not have to bask in the sun with most people. Li Yi sat there alone and ate two pieces of fruit. It was rare that they were iced. Not long after, there was an uproar on the field. Li Yi looked up and saw
Dozens of figures emerged from the other direction.
Many female relatives walked out of a palace door, and countless maids came forward to ask respectful questions and take them to the designated location.
"Qin'er, here." Li Xuan waved to someone not far away and said.
The Crown Princess and Ruyi walked over arm in arm, whispering something as they walked.
Although Ruyi is also the wife of a county uncle in name, in fact, like him, she is not very familiar with other dignitaries in Kyoto. Because of her relationship with Li Xuan, she has met the Crown Princess several times, and gradually became familiar with her over and over again.
stand up.
Li Yi and Li Xuan gave them the shady seats at the back and sat in front.
Before the official game, an important figure always has to give a speech. This process is usually very boring. After finally getting to the beginning, he looked up and found that the person representing Jing Guo was the one Li Xuan had introduced to him just now.
That man named Xue Yong.
When he saw the people sent by Qi State, Li Xuan's expression was obviously startled.
"female?"
He does not discriminate against women, but not just any woman is like a pearl. The people of Qi sent such a woman to compete with Xue Yong. Have they given up?
Are all those young people from Qi State here to watch the fun?
If that were the case, today's competition wouldn't be so exciting.
Although victory or defeat is not determined in one game, each side has three people, and winning two out of three games is considered a win, but it is not that easy to win if you give away a life at the beginning.
Li Yi watched the familiar woman walk to the venue, with a hint of surprise on his face. How could it be her?
Xue Yong walked to the venue, laughed twice and said: "Haha, there is no one in your Qi country, and you actually asked a woman to come over. I, Xue Yong, don't want to bully women, you'd better come up with someone else as soon as possible!"
There was a burst of laughter all around. Of course, the courtiers of Jing State were happy to see Qi State's joke.
"Hmph, arrogant, you win first and then talk about it!" A Qi envoy snorted coldly and said.
Although he didn't know why the third prince made such an arrangement, even he himself doubted whether the woman he met for the first time today could win, so he naturally didn't show any timidity on the surface.
"Is Xue Yong very powerful?" Li Yi turned his head and looked at Li Xuan and asked.
"Of course." Li Xuan said without hesitation: "Xue Yong was trained by General Xue. When he was a child, he was the best fighter among all the generals' children. He also often received guidance from General Manager Chang. It is impossible that he could not win against just one.
woman."
"Can he win...that one?" Li Yi looked to the front and gave him a slight signal.
Seeing Li Mingzhu standing there, Li Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Mingzhu, she can't count..."
"Then you can't beat it."
According to people's general concept, in this kind of matter, women are naturally in a weak position, but it does not rule out that there are heroines like Princess Mingzhu and Miss Liu Er who make countless men ashamed. Li Yi felt that there was something weird about this woman.
, the people of Qi are not stupid, I am afraid it is not that simple for Xue Yong to win.
"In that case, girl, I'm offended!" With so many people watching the competition between countries, Xue Yong would not really act in a gentlemanly spirit and strode towards the woman.
However, he still had contempt for the woman in his heart. He did not choose a weapon. When he walked to the woman, he saw that she did not move at all, so he couldn't help but stop and asked: "Are you going to compete?"
"
"Ready?" The woman finally raised her head and looked at him and said.
"Of course, it's okay, but you..." Xue Yong said inexplicably.
"good."
However, before he could finish his sentence, he felt his eyes flicker, and the woman's figure had disappeared before his eyes.
Then, he felt a pain in his neck, his vision went black for a while, and he completely lost consciousness.
Plop!
Xue Yong fell to the ground, and the competition ended.
Someone picked up a piece of fruit, but before he could put it in his mouth, it fell to the ground with a flick of his wrist.
Li Xuan was stunned on the spot. Xue Yong was actually killed instantly. Doesn't it mean that the woman who looks younger than Xue Yong is much stronger than him...
When Li Yi was equally surprised, Ruyi stepped forward and said, "Does your husband feel that this woman looks familiar?"
Even Ruyi said this, so it seemed that she had indeed had some interaction with her before.
Li Yi frowned, and while he was thinking hard, the people on the left and right began to become a little upset because of what happened just now.
"How could this happen? Even Xue Yong has lost. Who else from the younger generation can compete?"
"Look at the scene just now...oh, it's so different, so different!"
"What should we do now? Do we really want the Qi people to get back in this game?"
…
…
I didn't expect that such an ordinary-looking woman could be so powerful. Although there are two more games to come, if no one from the younger generation can defeat her, even if there are ten more games, the same result will come.
Xue Yong was quickly carried down by two guards. After the imperial doctor examined him, he looked at General Xue and said, "It's okay. He just fainted. He will wake up in a while."
General Xue's face softened slightly. Emperor Jing looked at the young woman in the field with a look of surprise in his eyes. Even he knew that in the competition between the younger generation, there was not much difference in strength. As the best among the generals' disciples,
, Xue Yong is already very powerful, but even he is not the enemy of the Qi women. In the next two games, no matter who is sent, won't they still lose?
Behind him, Chang De frowned. When he looked at the woman, his eyes flashed and his face showed a thoughtful look.
"Father, let me do the next one."
At this time, a pleasant voice suddenly came from beside him.
[ps: Maybe it’s because I’m too busy, and I’m in a bad state these days. The second update may have to be done yesterday. I really hope it gets over quickly...]
