The passerby who doesn't have a word in the book
Chapter 22 Ordinary Competition
When Xie Fanghan entered the Fusang Garden, the garden was already half full. Wei Nanyan and Li Zhe had already arrived. Watching Xie Fanghan come in, Li Zhe got up and waved.
"Yizhi." Li Zhe called out.
In just a split second, Xie Fanghan felt that there were countless scrutinizing eyes coming one after another. He walked to Li Zhe without looking sideways, and happened to meet Wei Nanyan's gaze. The two exchanged a look, and separated without knowing it.
Yan Yutang's hidden guards went to her last night, and she should know all about what happened last night.
After taking his seat, Xie Fanghan felt that the sight of him was much less.Xie Fanghan scanned around, there were seven or eight people sitting in the arena, except for the three princesses among the royal children, Yan Yutang was the only one who didn't come.
"Yizhi, Yizhi." Li Zhe called softly from the side. Xie Fanghan turned around and saw him winking at her. She looked in the direction he indicated, which surprised her and disappeared. Sun Zhong, who had been there for a long time, also came.
Xie Fanghan looked at Li Zhe again, Li Zhe understood her eyes, spread his hands out to express that he didn't know, Xie Fanghan cast his gaze over again, Sun Zhong sat on the side with his head down, making it hard to see the expression on his face .
"His Royal Highness is here." The palace servant outside the door suddenly said loudly.
……
be quiet
very quiet
The originally bustling Fusang Garden was instantly quiet after hearing this announcement, as if the sound was suddenly cut off.Wearing a light-colored palace attire, Yan Yutang came in from the Fusang Garden with a graceful step, and walked towards them without turning her eyes.
There were small conversations from around, Yan Yutang was not disturbed, and sat down in his seat with a posture, all kinds of scrutinizing eyes came to him again, even the princes on the opposite side couldn't help but turn their eyes away come over.
As the person involved, Yan Yutang, on the contrary, drank tea at ease like a normal person.The atmosphere was a little depressed, and Wei Nanyan, who was sitting next to Yan Yutang's subordinate, said first, "Your Highness."
What happened last night was too thrilling, even though it was not a good time to speak, she still couldn't help but speak out.
Yan Yutang knew what she was going to say, smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
Seeing this, Wei Nanyan opened his mouth, but swallowed all the words back, surrounded by wolves, now is indeed not the time to speak.
Xie Fanghan lowered his eyes in a daze, Li Zhe seemed to have noticed something and his eyes sank, but Sun Zhong seemed to be here to gather the crowd, sitting in the back and drinking tea quietly, feeling very uncomfortable.
"The empress and the three princesses are here!" The palace man's voice was like a gate suddenly opened, letting out the increasingly oppressive atmosphere in the garden.
"See Empress Dowager." All the people in the Fusang Garden stood up and saluted.
"Get up." The Queen's voice was not loud, and not very majestic, but it made people feel steady and stable.
Getting up and taking her seat, Xie Fanghan subconsciously went to see the Empress Dayan. This was the first time she had seen the Empress herself. Before that, she was very curious why, as the birth mother of the eldest prince and the third princess, she only loved the third princess. The prince can be said to be dismissive.
Aren't sons more popular in Gongdou dramas?Besides, he is the eldest son, so if nothing else, this is a surefire future emperor.
The third princess was very well-behaved by the queen's side, and she couldn't see the domineering look before. Xie Fanghan was even more puzzled, saying that the queen dotes on the third princess, and according to the third princess's temper, she would not be so in front of the queen. So well-behaved, is the third princess in awe of the queen?
The royal family is really complicated.
Xie Fanghan was still brainstorming, but the queen on the main seat suddenly looked over, Xie Fanghan was taken aback immediately, and resisted the reaction of bowing his head.
The queen was not looking at her, but Yan Yutang.
Xie Fanghan was even more at a loss. If she read it correctly, the queen's eyes when she looked at Yan Yutang were not a little bit warmer...
Queen: "I haven't seen Concubine Shu for a while, how is she doing recently?"
As soon as the queen opened her mouth, the princes turned their gazes over again. Yan Yutang straightened her back and replied neither humble nor overbearing, "Thank you queen for your concern. Everything is well, mother and concubine."
Hearing Yan Yutang's answer, the queen frowned undisguisedly, and smiled kindly, "Winter is coming soon, and before Dayue sent a court gift, I specially left a piece of white fox fur for her, and I will send it to her in two days , she is always afraid of the cold and needs to prepare early."
"Thank you, Ma'am, for your kindness." Yan Yutang's air pressure dropped a lot, but the third princess sat on the side with her brow lowered and pleasing to the eye the whole time, without any reaction to the conversation between the two.
If Xie Fanghan can't feel anything at this time, it's true that he has been fooling around for so many years. The queen's words are all about Concubine Shu inside and out.
She was standing up for Concubine Shu and Yan Yutang.
Thinking about it this way, it can be explained. Concubine Shu is cold-tempered, unable to rely on her family, and without a prince to accompany her, she rose to the position of main concubine all the way. If it wasn't for the emperor's preference and she didn't have any scheming in the palace, she could only be the empress help.
Thinking of this, Xie Fanghan glanced at Yan Yutang, who was in low pressure in front of him.
Does she seem to have missed something?
"The purpose of calling you here today, I won't go into details..." When talking about the business, the queen suppressed her smile again, her face was dignified, and her tone became calm. If it wasn't for the conversation with Yan Yutang just now, just look at the Such a face is really majestic and majestic.
Empress: "This year's autumn, Your Majesty has selected the topic given by the five princesses. I hope that other emperors will follow her example and improve their knowledge to benefit the common people and Great Yan."
All the princes: "I would like to follow what the queen mother said, study hard, and share the worries of the great Yan."
The queen nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Recently, Da Yue in the north has made frequent small moves, and the state of Liang in the south has been steadily improving in recent years. The situation in the world is becoming more and more tense, so today I will not take the school knowledge test. No matter the children of the royal family or the companions are the mainstay of my Dayan in the future, although I don't say that I will fight the enemy, but my body should not be too weak."
The eldest prince quickly continued, "What the queen mother said is true, but the third sister and the fifth younger sister are women, so they must be weaker than us."
The third prince followed closely: "That's right, empress, the third younger sister and the fifth younger sister are women after all, and it's against royal manners to wield knives and guns."
The queen didn't even look at the two of them, and continued: "I am a great country, if women are really allowed to lead the army at the front, it will be the face of the whole man in Dayan!"
The first prince and the third prince lowered their heads at the same time, and the second prince who was sitting across from him glanced at them with disdain in his eyes, and everyone present knew that the first prince and the third prince proposed the two princesses only for themselves, he One of the two admires literature and despises martial arts, and the other is ignorant and incompetent. If they end up in person, they may not be comparable to the two princesses.
The queen watched the people coming and going below with cold eyes, and waited until all the waves subsided before saying: "I just take a casual look at the palace today, and those present don't need to be too cautious, just one representative from each side will do."
The eldest prince and the third prince breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and quickly signaled the people behind them to come out. At the same time, the second prince, the third princess, and the sixth prince each had a companion behind them to stand up.
"Your Highness." Xie Fanghan called out proactively.
Yan Yutang heard Xie Fanghan's voice but didn't look at her, but turned to look at Sun Zhong who was behind and called out in a low voice, "Young Master Sun."
Xie Fanghan frowned.
Sun Zhong got up without saying a word, Xie Fanghan frowned even tighter.
"Wait." The eldest prince suddenly said.
There was a pause in the field, and then all eyes were cast in the past.
The eldest prince glanced at Yan Yutang, then shifted his gaze to Sun Zhong behind her, and said, "Young Master Sun was unwell a while ago and suffered a serious illness. Today is the first time he has entered the palace after his illness. He has just recuperated. At this time, it is better to take good care of it, so as not to fall to the root of the disease."
"Brother Da Huang said, it's just a casual sparring. Young Master Sun's body has just recovered, so it's better to be careful." The third princess, who had been silent all this time, also opened her mouth, but it wasn't Sun Zhong who was looking at him, but Sun Zhong. It fell on Xie Fanghan.
Yan Yutang looked at the third princess expressionlessly, but the third princess just smiled when she caught her gaze, looking very harmless.
Standing aside, Sun Zhong was not in a hurry, watching everyone's reactions indifferently like an outsider.
Yan Yutang looked back at the third princess, with a cold face, not knowing what she was thinking.
Xie Fanghan turned his head to look at Yan Yutang and didn't quite understand what she was planning to do, but he was sure that Sun Zhongding was specially called by her. She knew that today the Empress would start with Wu?But even so, why not tell her directly?
Wei Nanyan knows best what her friend thinks. When she saw Sun Zhong, she understood what Yan Yutang meant, but obviously the other princes didn't want to do what she wanted.
Yan Yutang was still in a stalemate and didn't let go, but the queen didn't give her any room to change, and said directly, "The emperor's words are reasonable. Sun Xiaohou is just recovering from a serious illness, so it's really not suitable to go to war."
Although Yan Yutang was displeased, she still didn't show any flaws on her face, and calmly replied, "Yes."
Xie Fanghan got up and went out, wrapped his sleeves and walked towards the field.
"Yizhi." The person behind suddenly called out.
"?" Xie Fanghan turned his head and met Yan Yutang's worried eyes. Xie Fanghan smiled and signaled her not to worry, then turned and continued walking towards the field.
The eunuch next to the queen announced the conditions of the competition. Xie Fanghan listened with one ear, while distractedly looking at the others silently. After looking around, except for her, all the people on the field were descendants of famous military lords in Xijing.
Xie Fanghan slandered in his heart, no wonder Yan Yutang wanted to call Sun Zhong back. These families all have some military power, and one of them has already confirmed that he will be stationed at the border next year. "Flower boxing and embroidered legs" is really not good.
It's a pity that the one who taught Xie Fang Han martial arts was not from the Grand Master's Mansion, but from the General's Mansion.
The eunuch left the arena after conveying the rules. The six people in the arena, including Xie Fanghan, each held an unopened sword, and kept a safe distance from each other, guarding each other.
This competition turned out to be a big fight.
Xie Fanghan felt the vaguely unkind eyes of the other five people, and finally understood what Yan Yutang's silent persistence was for just now. Xie Fanghan didn't expect that they had set up a game all night, but this last sword turned a corner.
Yan Yutang went back to the palace under their siege, and the chances of directly harming her were slim, so she resorted to using this method to target her subordinates, and those who beat her could slap her in the face. Killing two birds with one stone, what a finishing touch, since it was started by the queen, it must have been written by the third princess.
Going back to his seat, Sun Zhong may be the most serious person watching a movie right now.The matter of Baoxiang Temple was exposed, and he was caught by Yan Yutang and had to obey her orders. Today, he suddenly received a notice to let him enter the palace. He was also very puzzled. Although he knew that nothing good would happen, but the situation has developed to the present It also caught the hidden Fifth Highness by surprise, and he was quite curious about how today's "competition" would end.
He is also familiar with the people sent by the other princes, and their skills are not bad. Now it is five against one, but I don’t know what to do with Xie Fanghan. That night at Baoxiang Temple, the murderous look she revealed makes him feel a little palpitating now. , this Xie Fanghan... is not a good stubble.
Seeing the eyes of the five people on him, Xie Fanghan calmed down, but his eyes were full of sarcasm. He pulled a sword flower and said, "Since they all want to do something to me, let's do it together..."
Xie Fanghan's voice was not low, and everyone present could hear it clearly. The princes were expressionless, but the people under them were talking a lot.
"The grandson of Grand Master Xie's family is courting death, isn't he?"
"On the opposite side are the eldest sons of five military marquis families."
"An Shizi is here too. He will be on the front line next year."
"Isn't it? I really don't know the heights of the sky and the earth..."
The people in the arena heard Xie Fanghan's provocation, and their expressions changed at 01:30. They are dignified sons of the Marquis Mansion, how can anyone dare to talk to them like this on weekdays, and even say that they are looking down on them?
Off the court, Li Zhe looked anxious, Wei Nanyan's expression was not very good-looking, but Yan Yutang's expression improved a lot, Sun Zhong raised his eyes, and said in his heart, "Looking for death".
Xie Fanghan saw their faces getting uglier, but he laughed instead, "What? Are you scared? Didn't you all discuss before going on stage that you would target me together? Why didn't you make any moves at the beginning? "
Xie Fanghan's frivolous tone was like adding fuel to the flames. The sixth prince's subordinates were the first to be unable to bear it anymore. They gave a long shout and stabbed with a sword. Hitting the wrist of his sword-holding hand, the man felt his wrist numb, but Xie Fanghan immediately disarmed him with a cry of surprise.
The eunuch just announced the rules: the one who goes out of the bounds will be defeated, the one who sees blood will be defeated, and the one who leaves the sword will be defeated.
The man was disarmed by Xie Fanghan, and he knew that he had been hit by the aggressive method. Although he was resentful, he couldn't do anything in public, so he glanced at Xie Fanghan angrily, and left the scene angrily.
Xie Fanghan smiled at the other four people, and said gently, "A fight is a fight, no matter how loud you shout, what's the point?"
Three of the four exchanged glances with each other, and at the same time pressed towards Xie Fanghan at the same time. Xie Fanghan didn't dare to push him too hard, and cautiously avoided every sword. After more than a dozen moves, he figured out their way, and imitated the way he did before. One by one, they looked for opportunities to disarm and cleared them out of the field one by one.
Seeing that Xie Fanghan lost four people in a row, the people outside the field changed the direction of the discussion instantly, but because the losers were all his own, they only dared to discuss in a low voice nearby, but Li Zhe was so happy, if it wasn't for the fact that the queen was present , afraid to pat the table to cheer for Xie Fanghan.
Wei Nanyan breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Yan Yutang, only to see that Yan Yutang's eyes were slightly troubled.
Now there are only two people left in the field, Xie Fanghan and An Mo, the prince of An Ning who has just been talked about going to the front line next year, Xie Fanghan calmed down his slightly panting breath, stood opposite him and said with a smile, "biting dog Don't bark, but not all dogs that don't bark can bite people."
An Mo raised his eyes, his tone was very calm, "I don't take aggressive tactics."
Xie Fanghan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Why didn't An Shizi make a move together just now?"
An Mo didn't answer, "My sword isn't that easy to strike."
Xie Fanghan smiled unabated, "Thank you for reminding me, my son."
Without much communication, the two stepped forward and drew their swords at the same time. Xie Fanghan changed his previous style of dodging left and right, and received An Mo's every sword from the front in a dignified manner. Sun Zhong changed his previous lazy sitting posture, and sat upright, looking at the field solemnly.
Xie Fanghan fought more and more courageously. This was the first time she competed with someone other than the master who taught her martial arts.An Mo became more and more frightened. He didn't underestimate Xie Fanghan. From the first time she made a move, he discovered that Xie Fanghan's basic skills were very solid. He could put on fancy postures casually, but his basic skills could only be relied on year after year. Hard training day after day.
It's just that he still underestimated Xie Fanghan.
This little-known third young master of the Grand Master's Mansion, although his body does not look muscular, his strength is not in vain at all, and his sword is fast and ruthless.
An Mo retreated steadily after being beaten, and just when he was about to be overwhelmed, Xie Fanghan suddenly stopped in his tracks.There was a sound of gasping around, An Mo looked down at his foot that had stepped out of bounds, shook his head and simply admitted defeat, "I lost."
Xie Fanghan's sense of An Mo was pretty good, he was upright and a bit of a soldier, so he immediately withdrew his sword, clasped his fists and said, "Accept."
After finishing speaking, regardless of other people's reactions, he turned around and walked towards Yan Yutang without hesitation. Li Zhe couldn't sit still when he was approaching, and got up to greet Xie Fanghan. Yan Yutang looked at Xie Fanghan's shining eyes, and his original worries were temporarily put aside , being infected also bent the corners of his mouth.
The queen sat on the top and looked at the young people off the court with unpredictable eyes. She raised her hand to beckon the eunuch beside her, gave a few orders in a low voice, and left the court first.
"Thank you, Mr. Xie Fanghan." Xie Fanghan was listening to Li Zhe talking about how majestic he was just now, when he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him, turned around, and saw the eunuch next to the queen holding a tray with a cup of soup on it.
Xie Fanghan raised his eyebrows.
The eunuch said very perceptively, "Mr. Xie, this is the soup that the empress ordered the servant to give you."
Reward a cup of soup if you win?The queen is too stingy.Thinking so, Xie Fanghan took the tray respectfully, "Thank you, Ma'am, for the reward."
The eunuch continued, "Your Majesty also asked me to tell Mr. Xie that this soup is made from the tallest rare bird that flies in the royal garden, and the name of the soup is Denggao."
After the eunuch finished speaking, he didn't care about the reactions of the people present. He saluted Yan Yutang and turned away. Xie Fanghan held the soup, looked up at the princes around him who were sizing up or hostile, and smiled with indifference in his eyes.
Queen what does this mean?
Warn her that if she shoots the bird, she will fall down easily when climbing a high place?She didn't believe that the queen was so kind, besides, how could this be so...
There are many things she wants to do.
The author has something to say:
This chapter has been written three times, in three versions, and it has been difficult to pay attention to the revisions. Just like the selection of key nodes, this chapter determines the direction of many characters in the future, and several versions have been prepared for the dark thread. In the final analysis, it is not how I want to go, but how they should go. Yan Yutang is a royal princess with deep thoughts, and Xie Fanghan is a brave traveler who is afraid of death. These are the two most basic points, which cannot be ignored or taken lightly. I have boasted that a good sword needs to be polished, and I want to write to satisfy myself.
I still want to say sorry to the readers, it was too slow. Fortunately, I didn't agree to join V. As long as you think it looks good, then I think it's pretty good.
"Yizhi." Li Zhe called out.
In just a split second, Xie Fanghan felt that there were countless scrutinizing eyes coming one after another. He walked to Li Zhe without looking sideways, and happened to meet Wei Nanyan's gaze. The two exchanged a look, and separated without knowing it.
Yan Yutang's hidden guards went to her last night, and she should know all about what happened last night.
After taking his seat, Xie Fanghan felt that the sight of him was much less.Xie Fanghan scanned around, there were seven or eight people sitting in the arena, except for the three princesses among the royal children, Yan Yutang was the only one who didn't come.
"Yizhi, Yizhi." Li Zhe called softly from the side. Xie Fanghan turned around and saw him winking at her. She looked in the direction he indicated, which surprised her and disappeared. Sun Zhong, who had been there for a long time, also came.
Xie Fanghan looked at Li Zhe again, Li Zhe understood her eyes, spread his hands out to express that he didn't know, Xie Fanghan cast his gaze over again, Sun Zhong sat on the side with his head down, making it hard to see the expression on his face .
"His Royal Highness is here." The palace servant outside the door suddenly said loudly.
……
be quiet
very quiet
The originally bustling Fusang Garden was instantly quiet after hearing this announcement, as if the sound was suddenly cut off.Wearing a light-colored palace attire, Yan Yutang came in from the Fusang Garden with a graceful step, and walked towards them without turning her eyes.
There were small conversations from around, Yan Yutang was not disturbed, and sat down in his seat with a posture, all kinds of scrutinizing eyes came to him again, even the princes on the opposite side couldn't help but turn their eyes away come over.
As the person involved, Yan Yutang, on the contrary, drank tea at ease like a normal person.The atmosphere was a little depressed, and Wei Nanyan, who was sitting next to Yan Yutang's subordinate, said first, "Your Highness."
What happened last night was too thrilling, even though it was not a good time to speak, she still couldn't help but speak out.
Yan Yutang knew what she was going to say, smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
Seeing this, Wei Nanyan opened his mouth, but swallowed all the words back, surrounded by wolves, now is indeed not the time to speak.
Xie Fanghan lowered his eyes in a daze, Li Zhe seemed to have noticed something and his eyes sank, but Sun Zhong seemed to be here to gather the crowd, sitting in the back and drinking tea quietly, feeling very uncomfortable.
"The empress and the three princesses are here!" The palace man's voice was like a gate suddenly opened, letting out the increasingly oppressive atmosphere in the garden.
"See Empress Dowager." All the people in the Fusang Garden stood up and saluted.
"Get up." The Queen's voice was not loud, and not very majestic, but it made people feel steady and stable.
Getting up and taking her seat, Xie Fanghan subconsciously went to see the Empress Dayan. This was the first time she had seen the Empress herself. Before that, she was very curious why, as the birth mother of the eldest prince and the third princess, she only loved the third princess. The prince can be said to be dismissive.
Aren't sons more popular in Gongdou dramas?Besides, he is the eldest son, so if nothing else, this is a surefire future emperor.
The third princess was very well-behaved by the queen's side, and she couldn't see the domineering look before. Xie Fanghan was even more puzzled, saying that the queen dotes on the third princess, and according to the third princess's temper, she would not be so in front of the queen. So well-behaved, is the third princess in awe of the queen?
The royal family is really complicated.
Xie Fanghan was still brainstorming, but the queen on the main seat suddenly looked over, Xie Fanghan was taken aback immediately, and resisted the reaction of bowing his head.
The queen was not looking at her, but Yan Yutang.
Xie Fanghan was even more at a loss. If she read it correctly, the queen's eyes when she looked at Yan Yutang were not a little bit warmer...
Queen: "I haven't seen Concubine Shu for a while, how is she doing recently?"
As soon as the queen opened her mouth, the princes turned their gazes over again. Yan Yutang straightened her back and replied neither humble nor overbearing, "Thank you queen for your concern. Everything is well, mother and concubine."
Hearing Yan Yutang's answer, the queen frowned undisguisedly, and smiled kindly, "Winter is coming soon, and before Dayue sent a court gift, I specially left a piece of white fox fur for her, and I will send it to her in two days , she is always afraid of the cold and needs to prepare early."
"Thank you, Ma'am, for your kindness." Yan Yutang's air pressure dropped a lot, but the third princess sat on the side with her brow lowered and pleasing to the eye the whole time, without any reaction to the conversation between the two.
If Xie Fanghan can't feel anything at this time, it's true that he has been fooling around for so many years. The queen's words are all about Concubine Shu inside and out.
She was standing up for Concubine Shu and Yan Yutang.
Thinking about it this way, it can be explained. Concubine Shu is cold-tempered, unable to rely on her family, and without a prince to accompany her, she rose to the position of main concubine all the way. If it wasn't for the emperor's preference and she didn't have any scheming in the palace, she could only be the empress help.
Thinking of this, Xie Fanghan glanced at Yan Yutang, who was in low pressure in front of him.
Does she seem to have missed something?
"The purpose of calling you here today, I won't go into details..." When talking about the business, the queen suppressed her smile again, her face was dignified, and her tone became calm. If it wasn't for the conversation with Yan Yutang just now, just look at the Such a face is really majestic and majestic.
Empress: "This year's autumn, Your Majesty has selected the topic given by the five princesses. I hope that other emperors will follow her example and improve their knowledge to benefit the common people and Great Yan."
All the princes: "I would like to follow what the queen mother said, study hard, and share the worries of the great Yan."
The queen nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Recently, Da Yue in the north has made frequent small moves, and the state of Liang in the south has been steadily improving in recent years. The situation in the world is becoming more and more tense, so today I will not take the school knowledge test. No matter the children of the royal family or the companions are the mainstay of my Dayan in the future, although I don't say that I will fight the enemy, but my body should not be too weak."
The eldest prince quickly continued, "What the queen mother said is true, but the third sister and the fifth younger sister are women, so they must be weaker than us."
The third prince followed closely: "That's right, empress, the third younger sister and the fifth younger sister are women after all, and it's against royal manners to wield knives and guns."
The queen didn't even look at the two of them, and continued: "I am a great country, if women are really allowed to lead the army at the front, it will be the face of the whole man in Dayan!"
The first prince and the third prince lowered their heads at the same time, and the second prince who was sitting across from him glanced at them with disdain in his eyes, and everyone present knew that the first prince and the third prince proposed the two princesses only for themselves, he One of the two admires literature and despises martial arts, and the other is ignorant and incompetent. If they end up in person, they may not be comparable to the two princesses.
The queen watched the people coming and going below with cold eyes, and waited until all the waves subsided before saying: "I just take a casual look at the palace today, and those present don't need to be too cautious, just one representative from each side will do."
The eldest prince and the third prince breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and quickly signaled the people behind them to come out. At the same time, the second prince, the third princess, and the sixth prince each had a companion behind them to stand up.
"Your Highness." Xie Fanghan called out proactively.
Yan Yutang heard Xie Fanghan's voice but didn't look at her, but turned to look at Sun Zhong who was behind and called out in a low voice, "Young Master Sun."
Xie Fanghan frowned.
Sun Zhong got up without saying a word, Xie Fanghan frowned even tighter.
"Wait." The eldest prince suddenly said.
There was a pause in the field, and then all eyes were cast in the past.
The eldest prince glanced at Yan Yutang, then shifted his gaze to Sun Zhong behind her, and said, "Young Master Sun was unwell a while ago and suffered a serious illness. Today is the first time he has entered the palace after his illness. He has just recuperated. At this time, it is better to take good care of it, so as not to fall to the root of the disease."
"Brother Da Huang said, it's just a casual sparring. Young Master Sun's body has just recovered, so it's better to be careful." The third princess, who had been silent all this time, also opened her mouth, but it wasn't Sun Zhong who was looking at him, but Sun Zhong. It fell on Xie Fanghan.
Yan Yutang looked at the third princess expressionlessly, but the third princess just smiled when she caught her gaze, looking very harmless.
Standing aside, Sun Zhong was not in a hurry, watching everyone's reactions indifferently like an outsider.
Yan Yutang looked back at the third princess, with a cold face, not knowing what she was thinking.
Xie Fanghan turned his head to look at Yan Yutang and didn't quite understand what she was planning to do, but he was sure that Sun Zhongding was specially called by her. She knew that today the Empress would start with Wu?But even so, why not tell her directly?
Wei Nanyan knows best what her friend thinks. When she saw Sun Zhong, she understood what Yan Yutang meant, but obviously the other princes didn't want to do what she wanted.
Yan Yutang was still in a stalemate and didn't let go, but the queen didn't give her any room to change, and said directly, "The emperor's words are reasonable. Sun Xiaohou is just recovering from a serious illness, so it's really not suitable to go to war."
Although Yan Yutang was displeased, she still didn't show any flaws on her face, and calmly replied, "Yes."
Xie Fanghan got up and went out, wrapped his sleeves and walked towards the field.
"Yizhi." The person behind suddenly called out.
"?" Xie Fanghan turned his head and met Yan Yutang's worried eyes. Xie Fanghan smiled and signaled her not to worry, then turned and continued walking towards the field.
The eunuch next to the queen announced the conditions of the competition. Xie Fanghan listened with one ear, while distractedly looking at the others silently. After looking around, except for her, all the people on the field were descendants of famous military lords in Xijing.
Xie Fanghan slandered in his heart, no wonder Yan Yutang wanted to call Sun Zhong back. These families all have some military power, and one of them has already confirmed that he will be stationed at the border next year. "Flower boxing and embroidered legs" is really not good.
It's a pity that the one who taught Xie Fang Han martial arts was not from the Grand Master's Mansion, but from the General's Mansion.
The eunuch left the arena after conveying the rules. The six people in the arena, including Xie Fanghan, each held an unopened sword, and kept a safe distance from each other, guarding each other.

Killing two birds with one stone, what a finishing touch, since it was started by the queen, it must have been written by the third princess.
Going back to his seat, Sun Zhong may be the most serious person watching a movie right now.The matter of Baoxiang Temple was exposed, and he was caught by Yan Yutang and had to obey her orders. Today, he suddenly received a notice to let him enter the palace. He was also very puzzled. Although he knew that nothing good would happen, but the situation has developed to the present It also caught the hidden Fifth Highness by surprise, and he was quite curious about how today's "competition" would end.
He is also familiar with the people sent by the other princes, and their skills are not bad. Now it is five against one, but I don’t know what to do with Xie Fanghan. That night at Baoxiang Temple, the murderous look she revealed makes him feel a little palpitating now. , this Xie Fanghan... is not a good stubble.
Seeing the eyes of the five people on him, Xie Fanghan calmed down, but his eyes were full of sarcasm. He pulled a sword flower and said, "Since they all want to do something to me, let's do it together..."
Xie Fanghan's voice was not low, and everyone present could hear it clearly. The princes were expressionless, but the people under them were talking a lot.
"The grandson of Grand Master Xie's family is courting death, isn't he?"
"On the opposite side are the eldest sons of five military marquis families."
"An Shizi is here too. He will be on the front line next year."
"Isn't it? I really don't know the heights of the sky and the earth..."
The people in the arena heard Xie Fanghan's provocation, and their expressions changed at 01:30. They are dignified sons of the Marquis Mansion, how can anyone dare to talk to them like this on weekdays, and even say that they are looking down on them?
Off the court, Li Zhe looked anxious, Wei Nanyan's expression was not very good-looking, but Yan Yutang's expression improved a lot, Sun Zhong raised his eyes, and said in his heart, "Looking for death".
Xie Fanghan saw their faces getting uglier, but he laughed instead, "What? Are you scared? Didn't you all discuss before going on stage that you would target me together? Why didn't you make any moves at the beginning? "
Xie Fanghan's frivolous tone was like adding fuel to the flames. The sixth prince's subordinates were the first to be unable to bear it anymore. They gave a long shout and stabbed with a sword. Hitting the wrist of his sword-holding hand, the man felt his wrist numb, but Xie Fanghan immediately disarmed him with a cry of surprise.
The eunuch just announced the rules: the one who goes out of the bounds will be defeated, the one who sees blood will be defeated, and the one who leaves the sword will be defeated.
The man was disarmed by Xie Fanghan, and he knew that he had been hit by the aggressive method. Although he was resentful, he couldn't do anything in public, so he glanced at Xie Fanghan angrily, and left the scene angrily.
Xie Fanghan smiled at the other four people, and said gently, "A fight is a fight, no matter how loud you shout, what's the point?"
Three of the four exchanged glances with each other, and at the same time pressed towards Xie Fanghan at the same time. Xie Fanghan didn't dare to push him too hard, and cautiously avoided every sword. After more than a dozen moves, he figured out their way, and imitated the way he did before. One by one, they looked for opportunities to disarm and cleared them out of the field one by one.
Seeing that Xie Fanghan lost four people in a row, the people outside the field changed the direction of the discussion instantly, but because the losers were all his own, they only dared to discuss in a low voice nearby, but Li Zhe was so happy, if it wasn't for the fact that the queen was present , afraid to pat the table to cheer for Xie Fanghan.
Wei Nanyan breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Yan Yutang, only to see that Yan Yutang's eyes were slightly troubled.
Now there are only two people left in the field, Xie Fanghan and An Mo, the prince of An Ning who has just been talked about going to the front line next year, Xie Fanghan calmed down his slightly panting breath, stood opposite him and said with a smile, "biting dog Don't bark, but not all dogs that don't bark can bite people."
An Mo raised his eyes, his tone was very calm, "I don't take aggressive tactics."
Xie Fanghan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Why didn't An Shizi make a move together just now?"
An Mo didn't answer, "My sword isn't that easy to strike."
Xie Fanghan smiled unabated, "Thank you for reminding me, my son."
Without much communication, the two stepped forward and drew their swords at the same time. Xie Fanghan changed his previous style of dodging left and right, and received An Mo's every sword from the front in a dignified manner. Sun Zhong changed his previous lazy sitting posture, and sat upright, looking at the field solemnly.
Xie Fanghan fought more and more courageously. This was the first time she competed with someone other than the master who taught her martial arts.An Mo became more and more frightened. He didn't underestimate Xie Fanghan. From the first time she made a move, he discovered that Xie Fanghan's basic skills were very solid. He could put on fancy postures casually, but his basic skills could only be relied on year after year. Hard training day after day.
It's just that he still underestimated Xie Fanghan.
This little-known third young master of the Grand Master's Mansion, although his body does not look muscular, his strength is not in vain at all, and his sword is fast and ruthless.
An Mo retreated steadily after being beaten, and just when he was about to be overwhelmed, Xie Fanghan suddenly stopped in his tracks.There was a sound of gasping around, An Mo looked down at his foot that had stepped out of bounds, shook his head and simply admitted defeat, "I lost."
Xie Fanghan's sense of An Mo was pretty good, he was upright and a bit of a soldier, so he immediately withdrew his sword, clasped his fists and said, "Accept."
After finishing speaking, regardless of other people's reactions, he turned around and walked towards Yan Yutang without hesitation. Li Zhe couldn't sit still when he was approaching, and got up to greet Xie Fanghan. Yan Yutang looked at Xie Fanghan's shining eyes, and his original worries were temporarily put aside , being infected also bent the corners of his mouth.
The queen sat on the top and looked at the young people off the court with unpredictable eyes. She raised her hand to beckon the eunuch beside her, gave a few orders in a low voice, and left the court first.
"Thank you, Mr. Xie Fanghan." Xie Fanghan was listening to Li Zhe talking about how majestic he was just now, when he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him, turned around, and saw the eunuch next to the queen holding a tray with a cup of soup on it.
Xie Fanghan raised his eyebrows.
The eunuch said very perceptively, "Mr. Xie, this is the soup that the empress ordered the servant to give you."
Reward a cup of soup if you win?The queen is too stingy.Thinking so, Xie Fanghan took the tray respectfully, "Thank you, Ma'am, for the reward."
The eunuch continued, "Your Majesty also asked me to tell Mr. Xie that this soup is made from the tallest rare bird that flies in the royal garden, and the name of the soup is Denggao."
After the eunuch finished speaking, he didn't care about the reactions of the people present. He saluted Yan Yutang and turned away. Xie Fanghan held the soup, looked up at the princes around him who were sizing up or hostile, and smiled with indifference in his eyes.
Queen what does this mean?
Warn her that if she shoots the bird, she will fall down easily when climbing a high place?She didn't believe that the queen was so kind, besides, how could this be so...
There are many things she wants to do.
The author has something to say:
This chapter has been written three times, in three versions, and it has been difficult to pay attention to the revisions. Just like the selection of key nodes, this chapter determines the direction of many characters in the future, and several versions have been prepared for the dark thread. In the final analysis, it is not how I want to go, but how they should go. Yan Yutang is a royal princess with deep thoughts, and Xie Fanghan is a brave traveler who is afraid of death. These are the two most basic points, which cannot be ignored or taken lightly. I have boasted that a good sword needs to be polished, and I want to write to satisfy myself.
I still want to say sorry to the readers, it was too slow. Fortunately, I didn't agree to join V. As long as you think it looks good, then I think it's pretty good.
