Autumn has come, and the weather has finally cooled down after a scorching summer. Especially in the early morning, there is even a slight chill. However, at this time, Yujizi is so hot that not only the forehead is wet but also chilly.
Covered with fine beads of sweat, there was a faint heat steaming all over his body, causing the air around him to ripple with faint water-like ripples. Although the hand holding the sword was as stable as before, there were protruding veins.
But it clearly showed Tamaki's nervousness.
Pressure, huge pressure, even though Yujizi's martial arts skills are outstanding, under the huge pressure, like ordinary people, he was forced to sweat all over his body. Of course, under the pull of Qi, his opponent,
A tall and handsome young man was also having a hard time. Not only was he sweating through his clothes, but the heat on his head was steaming like mist and clouds. However, the hand holding the knife was extremely stable, without even a trace of shaking.
Confrontation after confrontation, the fierce qi energy was entangled together, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder roaring. It was extremely terrifying, but both sides of the confrontation were unmoved. No one had the intention to take action first, and just stared silently.
Looking at each other, each other's momentum continues to increase and become more and more intense in this confrontation.
A breeze blew by, and a fallen leaf was picked up from nowhere. It floated up and down, spiraling towards the space where the two sides were confronting each other. In just a moment, it was shattered into pieces by the violent air movement, leaving an extremely fragile balance.
It was broken instantly, and almost at the same time, both sides of the confrontation roared and launched attacks.
"Look at the sword!"
Yujizi was ruthless by nature, so when he saw the fighter plane appearing, he was not polite. He roared loudly, drew the long sword in his hand, and struck out like lightning with the "Changhong Guanri" move. The sword energy
The murderous aura overflows like a rainbow, and the momentum is unstoppable.
"cut!"
Tamaki's movements are not unpleasant, the sword is already moving with thunderous force. However, he is faster, and his opponent is faster, but after hearing a violent roar, an extremely violent sword light has split like a galaxy upside down.
He entered the space, and with just a flash, he had already rushed in front of Yu Jizi.
"Qiang, Qiang..."
Tamakiko obviously didn't expect that her opponent would come so quickly. She was so shocked that she didn't even bother to attack her opponent anymore. She swung her long sword and hurriedly switched from attack to defense. She used the "Long River Falling Sun" move to guard her body tightly.
, within a few breaths, the swords and swords collided rapidly, bursting out with bursts of loud noises, sparks flying, and figures flying.
"Good boy, come again!"
After a head-to-head confrontation, Yujizi was caught off guard due to his superb martial arts skills. He was so shocked that he staggered back five steps. Only then did he manage to stabilize his body. He couldn't help being furious. He roared and raised his sword.
He was about to pounce again, but to his surprise, his opponent didn't give him this chance at all. He laughed, retreated with his sword, made a face, and tapped Tamaki's left shoulder with his free left hand.
"Fucking bad luck!" Yujizi followed the other person's gesture and glanced at his shoulder. He immediately saw that the Taoist robe on his shoulder had a big tear at some point, and his face immediately turned ugly. After cursing,
He glared at his opponent and said angrily: "It doesn't count this time. I was careless for a moment. Come again, come again."
"Senior brother, once I was called careless, twice I was called careless, and three times I was called inattentive. How many times has this happened to you?"
The handsome young man burst out laughing, waved his hands proudly, and teased Yujizi.
"It's bad luck for a disciple to teach him how to kill his master! It's bad luck! You win!"
Tamaki's face turned red and purple from being suppressed, and she glared at the other party with great annoyance. Unfortunately, she was greeted with an even more proud smile. In desperation, she had no choice but to admit defeat in embarrassment.
"Hahaha……"
Needless to say, this tall and handsome young man is none other than King Li Xian of Zhou. It has been more than four years since he started practicing internal martial arts with Yu Jizi. Li Xian, who is only sixteen years old, has relied on his extraordinary talent and hard work.
With his tenacity, his martial arts skills finally became great. Not only did his kung fu become amazing right away, but he also practiced the nine-level "Heavenly Star Kung Fu" taught by Yu Jizi's generation master to the peak of the eighth level. He could break into the state of great achievement at any time. Compared with Yu Jizi,
After Isoko came, he was already a little stronger. After being bullied by Yu Isoko for four years in the name of "teaching", Li Xian finally turned around. After Yu Isoko admitted defeat personally, Li Xian couldn't help it.
He laughed proudly, until Yujizi was filled with resentment. In the end, he had no choice but to laugh along as if he was laughing at himself.
"Your Highness, the imperial envoy has arrived outside the gate. Please come and receive the order."
Just as the two brothers and sisters were laughing, Gao Miao hurried in from the garden gate, rushed to Li Xian, and breathed heavily to report.
"oh?"
As soon as he heard that the imperial edict had arrived, Li Xian's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and he uttered a slight murmur, but did not say anything else. He just nodded to Yu Jizi as a greeting, then turned around and strode towards
As we walked towards the backyard, our steps were as steady as ever, but our hearts were filled with ups and downs - three years was not a long time to be said, but in the long river of history, it was not even a moment. But for Li Xian, this was
Three years were the three years when the foundation was laid. Taking advantage of Empress Wu's absence in the capital, Li Xian worked hard to stuff people into the DPRK, although most of them were not very high-level people and there were not many confidants who could go to the DPRK.
In terms of qualifications, compared to his two brothers, the overall power seems to be at a disadvantage, but in fact, Li Xian's connections are all over the bureaus. Given time, it is not difficult to turn his hand into a cloud and turn his hand into a rain. It can be said that in the past three years, Li Xian
It seemed that he was living a happy and fulfilling life, but this peaceful life was obviously coming to an end. Although Li Xian didn't know exactly what was written in the imperial edict, he had a vague premonition in his heart.
"The Holy Emperor has an edict saying: King Li Xian of Zhou has been wise since he was young, and he is said to be capable when he is young. Now that he has grown up, it is suitable for marriage... I will go to Luoyang to see you. I admire you here." Seeing that the incense case was prepared, everyone in the Prince Zhou's palace knelt down.
The whole floor was filled with Sun Quanfu, the newly promoted eunuch in charge of the Liangyi Palace, who pretended to cough, slowly unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, and read it in a drawling voice.
What? Marriage? I'll do it! When Li Xian heard that this imperial edict had such a reason, he couldn't help but be stunned. A flowery smiling face slowly emerged from the bottom of his heart, and he was already hazy.
It is vividly revealed - Zhao Qiong, the second daughter of Zhao Mingquan, the Shaoyin of Luoyang Prefecture, was also the wife of Li Xian in his previous life. After only a few years of marriage, he was sentenced to death by Empress Wu, the cruel old thief. The crime was unfounded!
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
Sun Quanfu finished announcing his decree, but for a long time he didn't see Li Xian opening his mouth to express his gratitude, so he had to call out twice in a low voice.
"I accept the decree and express my gratitude. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Li Xian was shaken by Sun Quanfu's mention. He woke up from his memories and hurriedly thanked him respectfully. He stretched out his hands to take the imperial edict, stood up, and then handed the imperial edict to the person waiting at the side.
In Gao Miao's hand, his hand shook, and a piece of hundreds of flying banknotes prepared in advance fell from his sleeve.
"Eunuch Sun, thank you for your hard work for coming so far. A banquet has been prepared at the Prince's Mansion. I would like to ask you to honor me." Li Xian greeted him with a smile, flicking his fingers and flicking the folded banknotes in without leaving any trace.
It fell into Sun Quanfu's sleeves.
"Your Highness is very polite. I thank you for your kindness. However, your Majesty and your empress are still waiting for a reply. I dare not delay any more. I would like to ask Your Highness to take care of you." Sun Quanfu was Empress Wu's confidant, so he knew very well about the man in front of him.
The master and Empress Wu were never on good terms, so they were not willing to be too affectionate with Li Xian, but they did not dare to offend Li Xian, a prince with a reputation for ruthlessness. Fei Qiao accepted it with a smile. As for the invitation to the banquet, he was naturally grateful and insensitive.
.
"It doesn't matter, Eunuch Sun is busy with work, so it's not easy for Xiao Wang to disturb him too much. But, well, Xiao Wang still has some questions, and I would like to ask Eunuch Sun for advice." Li Xian's invitation to the banquet was just a courtesy. When he saw Sun Quanfu
If he didn't want to, he wouldn't force him to stay, so he handed over his hand and said.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Your Highness has a question, and I don't dare not answer it." Although Sun Quanfu wanted to leave as soon as possible, but Li Xian had questions to ask, he didn't dare not answer them.
He bowed politely and agreed wholeheartedly, but his expression was obviously not very natural.
"Haha, thank you, Eunuch Sun. Xiao Wang just wants to know in advance which family his father and mother have chosen for Xiao Wang. Please give me a confirmation." Li Xianqian laughed twice, with a hint of embarrassment.
He asked with a look of color.
"this……"
Since ancient times, the emperor has the final say in the marriage of princes, and the princes have never been allowed to interfere in this matter. Obviously, Li Xian's question was a bit over the limit, but in front of Li Xian, Sun Quanfu did not dare to point it out.
He hesitated for a moment, and was about to say that he didn't know anything, but when he saw Li Xian's eyes sweeping over him as sharp as a knife, Sun Quanfu's heart immediately "thumped", and the words of evasion were already on his lips, but he was stunned.
He didn't dare to say that he was going to come out, so he hesitated twice, and then replied in a low voice with a grimace: "I heard that three candidates were decided before I came here. They seem to be the second daughter of the family of Wang Cheng, the living man, and the eldest daughter of Zhan Shisi Zhilu Quan.
Then there is the eldest granddaughter of the weapons supervisor Chen Xi. As for who he has chosen, the servant left in a hurry, but he didn’t know."
I'll go ahead and order something for me. They're all the daughters of petty bureaucrats. Damn old thieves. It's not your turn to decide my marriage! When Li Xian heard that Zhao Qiong was not there, he felt
His head immediately seemed to have been knocked over, and he cursed secretly, but his face was calm and showed no expression at all. He nodded casually, which was regarded as understanding.
"Your Highness, stay here and I will take my leave."
Sun Quanfu didn't want to stay any longer. Seeing that Li Xian had no intention of asking any more questions, Sun Quanfu hurriedly bowed and left in a hurry.
Qiong'er, just wait, I will go to Luoyang now. Li Xian did not say anything to persuade Sun Quanfu to stay, but just stood blankly at the door of the mansion, but his mind had already flown to Luoyang City...
