Xu Zhen laughed: "The gift must be given, because this is the common thanks from our colleagues to President Xue!"

Watching the carriage disappear into the night, Xue Chang turned around and entered the yard and came to the backyard room.

For tomorrow's competition, the apprentices had already gone to bed. Xue Chang stood silently in front of Xu Xi's bedroom for a while before leaving quietly.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

On the fifth day of the individual martial arts competition in the martial arts conference, Xue Chang appeared again in the palace square as required, but in fact the competition on this day had nothing to do with him. He was more like the top scorer who returned home in glory, accepting the envy and compliments of other martial arts people.

Of course, since there is no need to go on stage to compete, Xue Chang focused on observing the competition.

The five competitions at the beginning, the most attractive thing is undoubtedly the match between Master Wunu and Zen Master Jingxin, Emei Sect. Master Jingxin has already won a draw. Just get another draw and she can become the next national protector.

However, Zen Master Wunu has always attacked the most fiercely among the six warriors who protected the country. Although he was ugly in his fight with Xue Chang yesterday, both sides had no internal strength after all, and the fight was like a joke. Will he let Master Jingxin pass the test today? Everyone will wait and see.

After the competition began, Master Jingxin was still the same as yesterday, with a set of Emei Vajra Palm, full of strength; Zen Master Wunu responded with a powerful Vajra Hand, and did not show any mercy because his opponent was a fellow Buddhist. He made a move that was fierce and fierce, and he kept his moves away from the opponent's key points.

Who is the same King Kong, who is better?

After three hundred moves, Zen Master Wunu began to gain the upper hand.

Master Jingxin had no choice but to use the Snow-Pengfei Cloud Palm, using this more flexible and labor-saving palm technique, and occasionally raided with the Buddha's light.

Zen Master Wunu corresponds to the Thousand-Handed Tathagata palm. This palm technique is fast and fierce, and is both offensive and defenseful.

After fighting for 500 rounds, Master Jingxin was finally defeated because of his defeat.

While the martial arts people on the sidelines were regretful, they also realized that yesterday's draw might have been the reason why Yang Tongping gave in.

Master Jingxin was frustrated, but more relieved: including the two previous Dharma discussion meetings, she had three attempts to attack the position of the national guardian warrior, and all ended in failure. Perhaps as Yang Zhenren said yesterday, the current Emei martial arts are too strong and not suitable for women. Since it is difficult to reach the top of this path, I will not make up my mind to try other paths...

When Master Jingxin was defeated, four other people, such as Lu Changcai, who challenged the warriors of the country, had already given up and returned to the sidelines to rest. After this round, it was difficult for martial arts figures to pass several tests and finally gain the challenge rights of the warriors of the country. The excitement of the entire arena was greatly reduced, but Xue Chang looked at it very seriously. He needed to enrich the practical training in the system and develop new martial arts preparation materials for him in the future.

However, Emperor Taixiang looked a little bored and turned his head to ask Cao Zhong next to him: "How many days will the competition be over here?"

Cao Zhong thought for a while and replied: "It should be only two days left, the emperor."

"Did you understand the matter about the spies in Beiyan?" Emperor Taixiang asked instead.

"Thanks to Master Xue, the North Yan traitor who had already confirmed the day before yesterday, and monitored him. Yesterday, a fake news was released. As a result, this person took the initiative to contact the North Yan mission that night. Long Wei found the traitor from the Four Elements Pavilion. Now they are all under Long Wei's surveillance, wanting to see if they can follow the clues and find more."

"No need to wait any longer, arrest immediately." Emperor Taixiang ordered decisively.

"yes."

"When today's competition is about to end, summon Dongfangxiong, the messenger of Northern Yan, is coming up." Emperor Taixiang continued.

"Yes, the emperor."

In the afternoon, Emperor Taixiang asked the empress, imperial concubine and Luo Lanmeng to return to the palace early. Cao Zhong and another old eunuch with great martial arts stood on both sides, and a group of dragon guards were transferred to the city tower to serve as guards, and then he summoned Dongfang Xiong to meet.

"Dongfangxiong, the envoy of Yan State, participated in His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou!" Dongfangxiong said in a humble manner. After bowing and performing his tribute, he stood up and looked at Emperor Taixiang.

"Irregular! How can you look directly at the king!" Cao Zhong shouted.

"As a master, you should have great courage, how can you be afraid of being watched by others?" Dongfang Xiong's calm tone was a little disdainful, and he bowed to the north: "The supreme of our country has never been afraid of being watched by others."

Dongfang Xiong's eyes were too sharp, not to mention that he had just heard that he had practiced a magical skill that could hurt people through his eyes. Emperor Taixiang was a little palpitations, but was inspired by the other party's words and his competitive spirit suddenly arose, and he immediately said, "If I have no courage, how could I allow you to come here to watch the martial arts conference."

"At this point, I admire the emperor's demeanor." Dongfang Xiong said frankly.

Emperor Taixiang's face cleared a little, and then asked, "The messenger has been watching for several days. What do you think?"

"Your country's martial arts masters are indeed gathering. At this point, our Yan State is worse than that." Dongfang Xiong said, and his words changed: "But most of them are dull, holding on to the incompleteness and lacking in progress, but they are just strong outside and doing the middle."

Although Emperor Taixiang knew that some of what the other party said was true, which was also the reason why he eagerly issued a new edict, the other party slapped him in the face directly, which made him feel very unhappy: "Since the envoy looked down on my Great Zhou Wulin, why did he secretly send people to lure them to Beiyan several times?"

Dongfangxiong said aloud without panic: "Emperor, the two countries have prospered in trade and cultural exchanges over the past few decades. What's wrong with martial arts people learning from each other? Compared with Zhou State, I feel that Yan State can provide martial arts people with better practice conditions, help them break through the barriers and go further. After all, martial arts people, martial arts people, and good martial arts skills are the fundamental..."

Emperor Taixiang couldn't listen anymore and waved his hand to interrupt him: "The Martial Arts Conference has been watched by the envoy for five days. I think this is enough, so I don't want to keep you anymore. Please return tomorrow."

Emperor Taixiang issued an order to expel guests directly. Dongfang Xiong raised his eyebrows and immediately said, "If the emperor doesn't say it, my envoy is ready to propose it. This martial arts conference is really not worth watching. My envoy will lead the delegation back tomorrow. Thank you for your kind hospitality these days, and there will be rewards in the future!" After that, he bowed his hand, then laughed and left.

Emperor Taixiang slammed his arm on the chair heavily and cursed angrily: "This guy is abominable! Mr. Cao asked Longwei to execute the captured spies of Beiyan, whom he was arrested, and hang his head on the North City Gate where the Beiyan delegation was going to pass tomorrow morning!"

Cao Zhong hesitated and responded: "Yes, the emperor, the old minister will inform Xu Zhen now." Although he felt that Emperor Taixiang's move was too tough and might stimulate Dongfang Xiong, Dongfang Xiong was so arrogant that if he did not fight back firmly, he would probably make Beiyan feel that the Great Zhou was weak and could be bullied.

After giving the order, Emperor Taixiang looked at the square and said softly: "Go and call Xue Chang up."

He was summoned by Emperor Taixiang for two days. Xue Chang didn't know how envious the martial arts people present were. He himself lost the tension and excitement of the first meeting, and his mood became more and more calm: "Small people meet the emperor!"

"Xiaomin?" Emperor Taixiang smiled: "You can't use this title in a while. I know that you martial arts people like to do things in a simple way and are afraid of trouble. However, the marriage of a princess is a major event in the country. Although I have tried my best to reduce some cumbersome etiquette, it is necessary to marry, accept the marriage, surrender, and other princesses should have the etiquette they should have when they get married. I wonder if you are prepared?"

"Xiaomin...uh, Xiaomin..." Xue Chang was dumbfounded. Both him and the original owner knew nothing about the major events of marriage. What's more, he just received the promise of Emperor Taixiang yesterday afternoon and was thinking about Xu Xi's affairs in the evening. He came to watch the competition early this morning. Before he could put his mind on the wedding, he was immediately ashamed and unable to speak.

Emperor Taixiang saw it and was not dissatisfied, and his tone became more and more kind: "You and your disciples are still living in the residence of the Goddess Palace. There is no one in Kyoto. Where will the princess live after she gets married? So I want to give you a house for you to marry the princess."

"Thank you for your gift!" Xue Chang thanked him quickly.

"You don't have to thank you. In fact, I have taken some advantage. After you are promoted to a warrior to protect the country, the court should have given him a house. As a prince, the royal family should also give him a house. In this way, I will save a house." Emperor Taixiang said jokingly.

Xue Chang could only smile stiffly.

Emperor Taixiang curled his smile and said seriously: "The martial arts competition here will be suspended for one day tomorrow. The court will hold a grand court meeting. One of the major events is to announce the marriage of the eldest princess of Wei to you, so you must also participate. The ministers in the court must see you and know what my sister-in-law looks like.

After that, I will send staff from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help you with your wedding room and other matters. You don’t have to worry about it, nor do you have to come to the martial arts conference again, and stay in your new house peacefully until you marry the eldest princess…”

After hearing this, Xue Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, can't Xiaomin go to watch the martial arts sect competition? After all, Xiaomin's disciples have been fighting hard for several days in Cuju Society. Xiaomin's helplessness has not guided them on the sidelines and cheered for them. As the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, I feel guilty!"

"It's not impossible, but when my point of marriage in the court tomorrow, the news that you become the prince-consort will spread throughout the city within half a day. The people in Luoyang are so lively. At that time, the people who go to Cuju Club will not go to watch the competition, but watch you. The order of the entire arena is probably difficult to guarantee. Think about how much pressure this will put on your disciples...
