Chapter 290 Another day to be a matchmaker
"The demon subdued!"
Accompanied by Jiang Yazhen's light shout, the swamp transformed by the ghost hand suddenly grew wildly, and countless arms poked out from the ground and grabbed the golden bell on Jiang Xu's body, making a harsh slash.
The thorny vines tightly entangled the golden bell, and they were about to crush it like a snake and python.
Seeing this, Jiang Xu's eyes swept over quickly, his brows frowned slightly, but he quickly felt relieved. The sound looked huge, but it was still difficult to break his Golden Bell Curse. As the saying goes, the sound was loud and the rain was small.
He slapped the two spears in his hand together and turned into a more solid blood spear with flames. He raised his other hand upwards, and the Golden Bell Curse that protected his body expanded further and pushed away the evil spirits around him.
Then his blood spear raised backwards, and his whole aura suddenly rose. He made a gesture of rushing forward, and said with a grin, "Miss, let me demonstrate to you the difference between Shura and Rakshasa."
"The real strength is not based on these ghosts and monsters, but"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Jiang Yazhen's sneering expression. Then he heard people's screams in his ears. He had a premonition that something was wrong and looked down at him. At some point, a dark purple flame ignited on his body.
Immediately afterwards, the scene around him began to shatter in his astonished gaze, and the screams in his ears became clearer. He felt a breeze blowing, and he had fallen to the ground at some point.
There was a burning smell everywhere on his body. Jiang Xu looked at his charred and fleshy palms, and the heart-wrenching pain also followed.
"ah!!!!!"
At this moment, there was another person standing still between him and Jiang Yazhen. Liezun Yu Chixin glanced back at Jiang Xu who was burned into charcoal, and raised his sleeves and waved his robe.
Immediately, several imperial doctors walked onto the ring and came to Jiang Xu. Seeing that this guy still had the strength to scream, he lifted him down with a burnt smell all over his body.
Yu Chixin then looked at Jiang Yazhen in front of him, and a look of thought appeared between his eyebrows.
Song Zhi in the audience was as surprised as everyone else. After Jiang Xu used the technique, a fire suddenly ignited on his body, and the golden bell cover naturally dissipated. But not only did he not put out the fire, he let the overwhelming ghost hand vines wrap him around, as if he was asleep.
If Rishou hadn't appeared in time and interrupted Jiang Yazhen's technique with a wave of his sleeve, Jiang Xu would have been afraid that Jiang Xu would not have even left his bones.
Is it an illusion? Song Zhi gently tapped the hilt of the sword with his fingers. The power of the flame was too amazing. Ask yourself, if he had faced this move, would there be a way to crack it?
Yu Chixin stood on the blackened smooth stone surface. The arena was cast from the thousand-year-old basalt in the northwest Sun Moon Lake, which was enough to bear the aftermath of the first-class master's battle. It was inseparable from water and fire, but it was burned out.
"The Woman of the East God Clan" Yu Chixin nodded at Jiang Yazhen and said:
"I haven't seen Rakshasa Eye for a long time. I didn't expect that a woman from the East God Clan awakened the secret meaning of Rakshasa Eye today. It's really a strange thing."
As the demon hunting Siqing, he obviously knew many secrets from the Dayuan Kingdom and naturally knew very well about the Dongshen clan. It was precisely because of this that he was surprised when he saw Jiang Yazhen appear here.
"Are you Jiang Wuxiu's daughter?" Yu Chixin asked.
Jiang Yazhen nodded. Jiang Wuxie was her father Tongshou. Since returning to the tribe in the west, Tongshou has been suffering from the torture of curses. After all, he is unable to escape the punishment of fate. I am afraid he will soon be
"So that's it." Yu Chixin walked to Jiang Yazhen and whispered:
"Rakshasa Eye is barely considered a god gift. Since you have awakened the secret meaning of the Eye Technique, then you should be the sixth person."
Jiang Yazhen did not show joy when she heard this, but instead asked in a plain voice: "Mr. Si Qing, shouldn't there be a competition if you want to be qualified?"
Yu Chixin frowned. Since you have already made you one of the seven people, what else do you want to compete? So he asked: "Who do you want to compete with?"
"With him." Jiang Yazhen raised her finger and looked calm.
Lie Shou followed her fingers and pointed to Jiang Chengyan, who was standing indifferently under the eaves. Jiang Chengyan did not get cold because of Jiang Xu's serious injury, but instead recovered his unnatural smile.
"A Zhen! It turns out that your Rakshasa eyes have awakened. It is a blessing for my Eastern God Clan. I am happy for you. Then come!" Jiang Chengyan shouted generously.
After careful observation, Song Zhi found that this person was really happy and could not see any anger. He was secretly asking Jiang Xu to teach Jiang Yazhen a lesson.
The other geniuses around Jiang Chengyan also noticed. Xie Ran and Zhu Wushi both opened their eyes and looked at the field. Did the challenger finally appear?
Seeing that Zhu Wushi had opened his eyes, Xiang Ding quickly moved his butt to the side and laughed in a low voice: "Brother Zhu, what kind of play is the Jiang family singing now? It doesn't seem like they are letting go of water, but they are like they are fighting in the middle of the fight."
Zhu Wushi looked at Jiang Yazhen in the field and thoughtfully. They had fought side by side when they were in the old Taoist temple on the clouds and mists. Even when they were taken away by their swords and were defeated for the first time, Jiang Yazhen stopped the old Taoist priest for him.
"Will you not fight without a knife?"
Zhu Wushi always remembered this sentence in his heart, but he didn't expect to meet again, but this was the occasion.
Looking at Jiang Chengyan not far away, Zhu Wushi shook his head and said, "Although Shura Eye is more domineering than Rakshasa Eye's technique, it's up to people. I dare to say that Jiang Chengyan may not win."
"Is it true or false? Isn't the Rakshasa of the Eastern God Clan just a look?" Xiang Ding wanted to speak but stopped, but he didn't believe it very much.
Zhu Wushi didn't say anything more. He still remembered that Jiang Yazhen and the old Taoist priest fought hard until the end and did not compromise. He sighed lightly and silently withdrew his gaze.
There are also many discussions on the dispute between the Dongshen clan and the brothers and sisters in the hall.
Xiao Nianhe put down the teacup in his hand, glanced down and said casually: "This Jiang family lady is too ignorant. It happened that the enemy in the northern border was facing this fierce attack on his tribe."
Situ Yin, who was standing beside him, immediately said: "What the Second Highness said is that Master Si Qing has spoken. Jiang Yazhen still has to challenge him, which is almost ulterior motives."
Prince Xiao Zhen raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said without comment: "This is a bad word. What kind of Dongshen Clan is? Others don't know, can you still not know?"
"I think that Jiang Yazhen may not have no chance of winning."
Xiao Nianhe frowned, thinking that the prince really had to argue with him in everything, and teased:
"The history of the Eastern God Clan lasts for two thousand years. Have you ever heard of any powerful person with Rakshasa Eye? The difference between Shura Pupil and Rakshasa Eye has long been a certain number. How can there be a reason to change at any time?"
Princess Yuan Jing, who was sandwiched in the middle, covered her ears and pretended not to be able to sleep, so she simply got up and left the attic, not wanting to listen to the endless quarrels between the two brothers.
Prince Xiao Zhen just sneered, turned to Situ Yuance who was sitting upright not far away, and asked, "Old Cheng, what do you think about this?"
Situ Yuance took a deep breath when he heard this, and his deep voice sounded:
"I only see the sorrow of the human race."
The prince and Xiao Nianhe looked at each other, and both looked away indifferently, without choking each other.
At this moment in the field.
Rishou shook his head and directly denied the battle without hesitation.
Jiang Yazhen awakened the Rakshasa Eye, but the competition with Jiang Xu just now showed that she was extremely good at taking action. If no one stopped her, she would have fought to the death. Jiang Chengyan is not an ordinary Shura Eye, and he also awakened the Secret Meaning.
When these two people fought, they were afraid that the war with the North Frontier had not started, so they would have to lose both of them first. Now is not the time to vent their selfish desires. What should I do to solve? Let's talk about it after the game.
"No need to discuss it anymore. If there is no other candidate, you will be one of the seven." Lie Shou did not give Jiang Yazhen a chance, and directly took her off the ring.
Jiang Yazhen was somewhat dissatisfied with the inability to fight Jiang Chengyan head-on, but after all, the court had the final say, so she could only accept it.
However, after stepping down, she looked around but couldn't see Song Zhi's shadow.
Because just a moment ago, Song Zhi noticed Princess Yuan Jing leaving the stands yawning, as if walking towards the palace.
The path behind the main hall leads directly to the inner palace of the Imperial City. Today, there are elite soldiers guarding it to prevent the second-grade heroes from walking around and entering places that should not have entered.
Princess Yuan Jing walked on the imperial road made of gray bricks, pulled the tie around her waist and randomly beat the long grass poking out between the tiles on the side of the road, with a sad look on her face.
"You tell me, why can the elder brother and the second brother argue a hundred times a day, and never stop from morning to night, is it interesting?" Princess Yuan Jing, Xiao Xiao, looked to the side and muttered.
"" The female servant beside her was about thirties, wearing military uniform, wearing a sword, and lowered her head without saying a word.
This is the princess' personal bodyguard and one of the few first-class female masters in the palace. Her expression suddenly changed and she turned her head to look behind them. Some time later, one of them was approaching, and she noticed it only after she was fifty steps away.
"Stop!" She moved sideways and warned.
The person coming was Song Zhi. He had put on his official uniform and put on his official hat. With a look of "unable to be malicious", the guards looked at each other and did not stop him after hearing Song Zhi's "I have something important to do!"
When Song Zhi saw someone protecting the law, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Song Zhi, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Rites, has something to ask for the princess."
Princess Yuan Jing turned around when she saw Song Zhi's face, and then she was stunned, then showed a look of surprise: "Mr. Song!"
She trotted forward, passed by her guard, came to Song Zhi and took his hand, and said excitedly: "Why did Lord Song enter the palace today? Is it also watching the fun?"
"Ah, no." Song Zhi stabilized his arm and whispered in the princess's ear: "Princess, the old official came to the palace this time to bring you good news."
"Good news?" Xiao Xiao was stunned, not yet reacted.
"Oh, that's it." Song Zhi wrote something on the back of Xiao Xiao's hand with his slender fingers, and then immediately covered Xiao Xiao's mouth that was about to exclaim, and nodded.
"That person is here?" Xiao Xiao asked in a low voice.
Song Zhi nodded and poked the side secretly with his hand. Xiao Xiao immediately understood that this was the point of speaking with one step.
"Sister Mei, I have something to discuss with Lord Song. You can go somewhere else first." Xiao Xiao turned around and told his guard casually. Regardless of her slightly raised hand, she pulled Song Zhi and trotted.
After running all the way to an uninhabited villa in the back garden, Xiao Xiao stopped and asked, "Mr. Song, did that person come specifically for me?"
Last time in Tianbao Antiques, Song Zhi had already told her about Wei Tingyun. Of course, in order to match them, he tried his best to beautify Wei Tingyun's image, and Princess Yuan Jing naturally knew that this was a native of the North.
"Uh!" Song Zhi nodded solemnly. Maybe it wasn't at first, but now that he told Wei Tingyun that he was the matchmaker.
Xiao Xiao put his hands on his hips and sighed: "Mr. Song is right. This northerner is brave enough to really dare to come to the capital."
"He not only came to the capital, but also one of the seven heroes in the northern border." Song Zhi added at the right time.
"Seven Great Masters?" Xiao Xiao frowned and asked, "Why are you fighting and killing again? This guy came for a fight, right?"
Song Zhi shook his head: "He is the son of the clan and has strong strength. Being elected this time is a helpless move. In fact, he is actually very interested in peace, and the lower official has already told him about the princess, and he is very eager for it."
Xiao Xiao's cheeks turned red when she heard this. These are all things in Fengyue's novels she kept secret. Didn't she expect love and love to happen to her?
"Then, how do you describe me?" Xiao Xiao asked nervously.
Song Zhi looked around and confirmed that no one eavesdropped, and lowered his voice and said, "Princess, do you really want to elope? This is not a joke."
I dared to talk to the princess for a matchmaker under the temptation of the gods, but this matter is of great importance. It would be fine if the princess really wanted to do it. If she just talked and laughed, wouldn't it be embarrassing or even in danger?
So Song Zhi must ask clearly what Princess Yuan Jing was thinking.
Xiao Xiao also lowered her voice and said seriously:
"I have said that elopement is not a joke. My father is seriously ill and he is already in danger. The two emperors are fighting hard now, which makes me worried. No matter who will be the throne in the future, I, the eldest princess, will marry as usual. As a gift for the new emperor to ascend the throne, what is the point of counting the life of life like this?"
Song Zhi nodded slightly: "The official understands."
From Princess Yuan Jing's tone, he heard the sense of determination. It seemed that the deep palace and high walls could not lock a free heart in the end. Some people yearned for wealth and prosperity, while others only wanted to be free for the rest of their lives. Princess Yuan Jing was such a person.
Song Zhi then continued: "Although I mentioned the princess to him, I only said that I was a rich daughter from a wealthy family who was close to me in the capital. I was afraid that mentioning the princess's golden body would make him discouraged."
Princess Yuan Jing pursed her lips and was about to say something, but she felt that what Song Zhi said was a little reasonable. After all, there are only a handful of families who are qualified to marry the princess in the world, and there is no way for people from the north to talk about it.
"Isn't that not?"
"Hey, it's okay." Song Zhi smiled and waved, signaling the princess to listen with her ears, and whispered:
"We can do this then"
