[Chapter 31 - Competition] has to be a little uglier

Since he didn't say he wanted to leave, he must stay.

The corners of Duan Baiyue's mouth lifted, and she happily followed.

The hot spring hall was very empty, and the father-in-law of Sixi took the first step to dismiss the palace maid, and when the two of them entered, there was only a small sound of water dripping around. A pool of milky white hot springs is rising from a mist of mist, and there is a faint medicinal fragrance when you smell it.

Sixi's father-in-law set up two sets of bathing utensils with his hands and feet, and seeing that Chu Yuan had no intention of being served by himself, he bowed down and gently closed the door by the way.

Duan Baiyue had been standing there looking at him.

Chu Yuan changed his clothes after arriving at the screen, stepped into the water barefoot, and then relaxed his whole body and leaned against the pool wall, as if sighing comfortably.

After a long time, it seemed that someone around me was squatting gently.

"I'll accompany you?" Duan Baiyue asked softly.

He thinks that he is not a very patient person, and he rarely listens to other people's opinions, but there is only one person, not to say that it is forced, and he is not willing to even the slightest grievance.

Chu Yuan still didn't speak, as if he hadn't heard it, and as if he ...... Default.

So a moment later, there was a wave on the water.

The two of them soaked in the warm pool water together, looking at the carved wooden beams on the top of the main hall, but neither of them spoke first.

Chu Yuan closed his eyes and looked like he was about to fall asleep.

Duan Baiyue stretched out her hand and carefully hugged him into her arms.

……

Sixi's father-in-law thought outside, since he had the king of the southwest, he had someone to do everything for him, and he was half idle.

It's good, it's good.

Maybe it was because he was too tired, or maybe it was because the pool water was too warm, Chu Yuan didn't say anything, but took the initiative to find a comfortable position on his chest and continued to be sleepy.

After the soaked white robe was soaked in water, it clinged to the body, and under the slightly open neckline was a beautiful and young body, which did not have the majesty of the Jinluan Palace on weekdays, and it was the most defenseless.

Duan Baiyue tightened her arms tighter.

There was a hot and humid breath in his ears, Chu Yuan turned his head slightly to dodge, and his whole body seemed to shiver.

"Don't think about anything." Duan Baiyue said, "Sleep well." ”

Chu Yuan let out a low "um" sound.

Duan Baiyue rubbed his shoulder for a while, feeling that the body in his arms had gradually relaxed, and said, "Take you back to the dormitory?" Soaking it again is not good for your body. ”

Chu Yuan was silent, not knowing whether he was asleep or didn't want to speak.

"I'll accompany you tonight, and I'll be with you tomorrow when the two samurai compete with each other." Duan Baiyue continued to whisper in his ear, "If you are tired, I will take you back to the Southwest Mansion to live for a while, if you don't want to come back, then you won't come back." Those old men let them admonish if they love to admonish, and they knelt for a few days and nights before they knew that the emperor was not there, do you guess they would braided their hair in anger? ”

"Hey!" Chu Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, turned around and slapped him, "Hugh has to say this, Master Taifu." ”

"It's not just Tao Rende." Duan Baiyue looked at him, "This courtier in the court, I don't like it a lot." ”

"There are more courtiers in this court, and there are more people who don't like the southwest mansion." Chu Yuan took the clothes prepared on the side, Duan Baiyue only felt empty in his arms, but when he saw the person again, he had already arrived at the shore, wrapped in a wide robe, his cheeks were crimson, and he was much better than before, "Let's go, go back." ”

Duan Baiyue stepped out of the water.

Chu Yuan's face froze, and then he turned around and walked out quickly.

The king of the southwest thought to himself, it will naturally be pasted when the clothes are wet, and it is not for me to let it be pasted.

Besides, the one who should be watched suffers more.

Sixi's father-in-law was very surprised, he had just ordered to make a pot of tea, and he was going to stay here for two or three hours, but he didn't expect to come out so soon.

Chu Yuan covered his mouth and coughed.

"Ah, Your Majesty." Sixi's father-in-law hurriedly pulled him back to the palace, he had just come out of the water, and he hadn't dried his body, he was wet and wrapped in a robe and walked out, and the king of the southwest didn't care.

"Get out!" Chu Yuan said.

Duan Baiyue was very cooperative.

Sixi's father-in-law dried Chu Yuan's hair, changed into thicker clothes, brought a cloak and hat to wrap people tightly, and then said, "Your Majesty, go back to the palace?" ”

Chu Yuan only showed his two eyes and said, "This is the dog days." ”

"I can't get cold on dog days, and I will see the lord of Goryeo tomorrow." Sixi's father-in-law insisted very much, "Just two steps, two steps back to the dormitory." ”

Chu Yuan had no choice but to pull the cloak around his neck and leave the hall by himself.

Duan Baiyue was waiting outside, and was startled when she saw it, could this be heat stroke again.

As the father-in-law of Sixi walked, he glanced at the king of the southwest, did he see it, the emperor is going to serve like this, and he will not be released in the future.

After soaking in the hot springs, the whole body is loose. Chu Yuan lay on the bed and yawned lazily.

Duan Baiyue leaned beside him.

Chu Yuan said: "Go back." ”

"No return." Duan Baiyue said calmly, "The Southwest King is ambitious, since he can sleep on the dragon bed, how can he miss it." ”

Chu Yuan closed his eyes and refused to speak to him again.

In the second half of the night, it was raining outside, and Duan Baiyue turned sideways to block a trace of cold wind for him, and surrounded the person in his arms.

He naturally knew that the two had the same heart, but because of the same heart, he knew better that he was in a difficult situation. He is far away in the southwest, and he is free, but he is different. The two often ridiculed the old ministers of the court, but once those old ministers learned about their relationship with him, they estimated that the stone steps in front of the long hall would be knocked out of blood. It's okay to be a traitor, but now the rest of the court are all virtuous ministers who are willing to be crushed by Dachu, and the reason why this Jiangshan Sheji can be solid is that no old man can be missing. If they are allowed to splash the Golden Palace with the blood of the Emperor of Death, the people of Moti will gossip, and foreign enemies may also make a big fuss about it, and at that time, they are afraid that they will have a headache.

The two of them have been hiding before, but when it comes to love, how can they hide if they want to.

It's good now, but maybe it's the only way to do it for the rest of your life.

Duan Baiyue smiled bitterly and reached out to gently pinch his cheek. Knowing this, he should have let the fat-headed and big-eared Chu Lan be the emperor, and he would be able to overturn a group of dead old men in about three days, how to feel comfortable.

"Huh?" Chu Yuan opened his eyes in a daze.

"Nothing." Duan Baiyue said, "Continue to sleep." ”

Chu Yuan said, "What time is it?" ”

Duan Baiyue replied: "It's time to sleep." ”

Chu Yuan didn't ask much, and fell asleep again, occasionally coughing twice in his dreams, which was even more distressing to watch.

The sky lit up little by little, and the father-in-law of Sixi walked back and forth with his hands outside, almost in the morning, whether to go in and call or not, the king of the southwest is still there.

Chu Yuan sat up from the bed.

Duan Baiyue said behind him, "Why can you still wake up on your own?" ”

Chu Yuan asked, "You let Sixi out?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "He didn't come in at all. ”

"Nonsense." Chu Yuan got out of bed with his clothes on, "Four joys! ”

"Alas!" Sixi's father-in-law was relieved, and hurriedly trotted in to serve him to wash and change.

Duan Baiyue didn't get up, and kept leaning on the bed and looking at him.

"After the early dynasty is over, I will lead hundreds of officials to the martial arts arena." Chu Yuan asked Sixi to tidy up his clothes for him.

Duan Baiyue said: "I will follow with ease." "Since the former Ye Divine Doctor and the eldest young master of Sun Moon Villa, Shen Qianfeng, got married, he would often train a new group of guards to send them into the palace, and it was not unusual for new faces to appear.

Chu Yuan nodded, and without saying much, he went out to go to the morning court. After a while, Sixi's father-in-law turned back again, and brought it in his hand early, saying that it was specially ordered by the emperor, and asked the king of the southwest to use it slowly.

Naturally, it was very intimate, but looking at the full plate, Duan Baiyue felt that she might have to find an opportunity to say in the future that her food was actually not very ...... Amazing.

Although the state of Chu and the state of Goryeo have always been good friends, the matter of martial arts competition is also related to the dignity of a country, and no one wants to lose. When Chu Yuan came back after the early court, he saw that Duan Baiyue had changed his appearance and completely changed his face, but he was also quite handsome.

Chu Yuan said: "This can't be done. ”

"Why not?" Duan Baiyue was puzzled, "I can recognize it."

Chu Yuan said: "No. ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Why is that?

Chu Yuan squinted: "Do you really plan to recruit relatives?" ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Chu Yuan picked up a cup of tea on the table.

Duan Baiyue said: "I'm just a guard. "Can this also be liked by the princess?

Chu Yuan frowned: "Hurry up!" ”

Duan Baiyue had no choice but to sit back in front of the mirror again, look left and right, and put a scar on his face.

Chu Yuan said: "Still no!" ”

Duan Baiyue had no choice but to continue to stick it on her face, turning herself into a scarred face.

Chu Yuan stared at him carefully.

"Almost, huh?" Duan Baiyue had a bitter face, "If you can be favored in this way, then Princess Goryeo really has a problem with her vision." ”

Chu Yuan reluctantly got through, and said, "You just stand today, and you are not allowed to do anything." ”

"That's nature, it's hard to ask me to sing and dance." Duan Baiyue said it neatly.

Chu Yuan laughed.

"Haven't said it yet, has your body recovered today?" Duan Baiyue put her palm on his forehead, but was dodged.

"You're far away." Chu Yuan said.

Duan Baiyue asked, "Why?" ”

Chu Yuan said: "Because it's ugly." ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

However, it is really ugly.

When the Emperor of Chu appeared in the competition arena with his guards, all the courtiers were shocked, and the King of Goryeo almost threw away the wine glass in his hand.

The king of the southwest was sad in his heart, because the previous scars Chu Yuan was not enough, and when he was about to go out, he didn't know where to get a black cloth and covered half of his eyes.

Chu Yuan was very calm.

Tao Rende shook his head again and again in his heart, how did this little prince and Young Master Shen do it, they were also sent to the palace with such a look, and they were not afraid of disturbing the holy driver.

After everyone sat down, Princess Goryeo also stepped forward to salute, although it was not beautiful, but after all, she was noble, her bearing was always there, her eyebrows and eyes were considered to be Zhouzheng, her behavior was generous, and the people she wanted to marry should not be few.

"Come on, come on." The king of Goryeo stretched out his hand and beckoned his sister to his side.

After Jin Shu sat down, her eyes would fall on Duan Baiyue every now and then. Chu Yuan coughed twice and raised his head to drink a glass of wine. General Shen was clearly sitting at a table next to him, with handsome eyebrows and eyes and a dashing demeanor, why didn't he go to see him.

Duan Baiyue has a headache, if others don't look at it, it's weird, right?

"Your Majesty, is the competition about to start?" Shen Qianfan asked in a low voice.

Chu Yuan nodded slightly.

Everyone was in high spirits, waiting to see a good show. The king of Goryeo whispered to Jin Shu

In the first round of the competition, the person from Chu State was Liu Dajiong's second son Liu Wei, and the Goryeo State also sent Wang Sun Gongzi, and the two fought more than 100 times, and finally Liu Wei saw a flaw and knocked the opponent to the ground, which was considered a win.

Everyone applauded, and the king of Goryeo also applauded, but he regretted in his heart why he had become a parent.

But Jin Shu didn't fall in love with Liu Wei, she had Duan Baiyue in her heart first, and whoever looked at it at this time felt that it was a little worse.

In the second round of the competition, Goryeo Kingdom was the little prince Jin Min, and Shen Qianfan hugged his fists and said: "Offended." ”

Jin Tai hurriedly whispered in his sister's ear: "This can't be done, I heard that I am about to get married, and Jian Suizi was given by my sweetheart." ”

Jin Shu: "......"

Sun Moon Villa's martial arts cultivation is the first in the world, although Shen Qianfan is not as talented as his eldest brother Shen Qianfeng, he is also a first-class master, and it only took a dozen moves to subdue Jin Min.

Chu Yuan smiled slightly, although the King of Goryeo was still applauding, his face was already a little stiff.

After that, the state of Chu won another game. Although the fourth game was won by the Goryeo Kingdom, anyone who practiced martial arts could see that it was the warriors of the Chu State who secretly gave in, so as not to embarrass the guests.

The King of Goryeo couldn't get down on his face, so he got up and said loudly: "I want to change a warrior, I don't know if the Emperor of Chu can agree?" ”

"Huh?" Chu Yuan said, "Naturally, who does the King of Goryeo want to change?" ”

Jin Tai motioned for the prince who had already played before to step down, and whispered a few words in the ear of the attendant, who took the order and left in a hurry, and returned with one person after a while, but the rest of them were shocked. Then he saw that the man was strong and tall, and the ordinary man stood beside him, barely up to his shoulders. The hair is like a hard thorn, tied together haphazardly, and the face is clean, but the tattoos on the top are more obvious and hideous. The ground shook as if the ground was about to be trampled out of a deep pit.

The ministers of Chu looked at each other, not understanding what kind of way this was.

"Your Majesty." King Goryeo said, "This person is a slave I ransomed from the cattle and horse market earlier, and he is highly skilled in martial arts, I wonder if he can fight with the warriors of the Chu State?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone muttered in their hearts. This competition was originally meant to be fun, so the people sent by both sides were also of equal status. Now that the king of Goryeo has gotten a slave from nowhere, if the state of Chu sends the general and minister of Wang Sun Gongzi again, it will be a loss of value if he wins, and if he loses, it will be even more ugly.

"Tsk." Liu Dajiong said in a low voice, "This King of Goryeo is not kind, but I am afraid that the emperor will not reward him this time." ”

"When is it, and I still want to give a reward." Tao Rende smashed him with his elbow, "Hurry up and think of a way to fool this matter." ”

"What can I do, these things with mud, Prime Minister Liu Cheng is the best at it." Liu Dajiong said.

The two of them looked at Liu Yishui at the side table together, and saw that he was slowly arguing and drinking tea.

……

"Look, your Liu family." Tao Rende said, "On weekdays, he is a mason, but at the critical moment, he becomes a clay man." ”

"You have the ability, so you can speak." Liu Dajiong said, "Look at our emperor, his face is green." ”

Duan Baiyue whispered in his ear, "I'll go." ”

Chu Yuan frowned.

"It doesn't matter." Duan Baiyue said, "You believe me." ”

Chu Yuan thought about it and nodded slightly.

Seeing Duan Baiyue on the field, the people of Chu State breathed a sigh of relief, and those who came out of Sun Moon Villa must not be far behind. What's more, both of them have hideous faces, and they look quite suitable.

Chu Yuan secretly clenched his right hand.

The Goryeo slave roared, and with a "bang" of his feet, a cloud of ash suddenly flew up all over his body, and even the ground was half a foot deep.

Liu Dajiong was taken aback.

Duan Baiyue didn't have a weapon in his hand, he just looked at him coldly.

The Goryeo slave leaped to his feet, and Tarzan rushed at him.

Shen Qianfan saw it in his eyes, and his brows furrowed suddenly. He used to think that this person was just a brute force, but just this leap, it looked like he had learned kung fu, coupled with his innate divine power, he was afraid that even if this guard came from Sun Moon Villa, he might not win.

Duan Baiyue dodged and kicked the opponent back a few steps with one kick. There are many people here, so as not to be seen, he did not use the kung fu of the Southwest Mansion.

The slave was enraged, and his tactics became more and more vicious and rude. Duan Baiyue originally wanted to fight quickly, but he felt that it was too bad for Goryeo to save face - so he had to accompany the grappling fight for hundreds of moves before he pressed the person to the ground and subdued him.

Shen Qianfan was even more puzzled in his heart, looking at the kung fu path, it would definitely not be from Sun Moon Villa, where did the emperor find this person?

"I conceded." Duan Baiyue let go of her hand and stood up.

The King of Goryeo smiled awkwardly, and took the lead in applauding a few times: "The warriors of Great Chu are really powerful. ”

Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, he had been regretting before, why he had to cover one eye when he went out.

The ministers also regained their joy, and before they could finish the next snack, the king of Goryeo said, "I wonder if the emperor of Chu can give this warrior to Goryeo?" ”

Chu Yuan said: "No. ”

……

The king of Goryeo had no choice but to sit back with a smile, even if the reward was rejected before, most of them would take a detour and find a place where there were not many people, and it was the first time that he was so straightforward.

With this competition, the rest of the samurai on both sides knew how to choose, and the atmosphere was much more amiable. It's just that after more than a dozen competitions, Jin Shu didn't have any of them, and was only interested in Duan Baiyue - but this time it was not for people, but for kung fu.

She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, so she has long seen that Duan Baiyue has been secretly giving in, if she really fights hard, the slave will definitely not be able to last ten moves. Although there are a lot of people in Chu State, there are not many people who are really amazing in kung fu, one is Shen Qianfan, and the other is the guard with scars on his face.

It was obviously impossible to ask Emperor Chu for a general, but he didn't expect to go, and he was so stingy that he refused to even give a guard.

"Be careful." Jin Tai reminded his sister in a low voice, "This is Da Chu, don't act recklessly." ”

Jin Shu bit her lower lip, full of reluctance.

When I returned to the palace that day, it was almost late at night. Duan Baiyue took off the disguised thing, Chu Yuan took a closer look, and found that there was no abnormality on his face, so he said, "Thick-skinned." ”

Duan Baiyue smiled: "Why is your appetite so good today." "At the dinner in the main hall, I ate the first course from the last course to the last course, and I also drank a bowl of fish soup.

"Someone wants you, and I'm naturally in a good mood." Chu Yuan said, "Tomorrow, I will draw up a list and give you to Jintai along with gold, silver, porcelain, tea and jewelry." ”

"In the land of Goryeo, Kim Tae estimates that he can't afford to support me." Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows, "The country of Chu is rich in resources, but you can give it a try." ”

"Your Majesty." Sixi's father-in-law said outside, "The king of Goryeo is here again, saying that he has something important to see." ”

"In the middle of the night, what can I do?" Duan Baiyue frowned.

"I guess I'm here to ask for you." Chu Yuan said.

Duan Baiyue: "......"

"Check it out." Chu Yuan turned around and walked out.

Duan Baiyue was very depressed in her heart, why was she still remembered when she looked like this?

"Your Majesty." Jin Tai was drinking tea in the side hall.

"The king of Goryeo came late at night, I don't know what is important?" Chu Yuan asked.

Jin Tai sighed deeply, and then said unexpectedly: "Although I have already said it once in the daytime, I really can't help it, and I ask Emperor Chu to give today's guard to Goryeo." ”

Duan Baiyue rubbed her forehead behind the screen.

"Why does the king of Goryeo think so highly of him?" Chu Yuan asked quietly.

"It's not me, it's my sister." Kim Tae-do.

Chu Yuan: "......"

Duan Baiyue: "......"

"Emperor Chu don't misunderstand, Ashu doesn't want to marry." Seeing Chu Yuan's face stiff, Jin Tai hurriedly said, "It's just that I saw that the guard's martial arts cultivation was extraordinary, and I wanted to take it back to be a master." ”

Chu Yuan shook his head: "This matter is not allowed." ”

"Why?" Jin Tai felt that he was very anxious, and his sister on the other end was arguing for someone, and this Chu Huang refused to let go.

Chu Yuan said: "The person was sent by Sun Moon Villa, and he will return to Sun Moon Villa in a few years." ”

"It turned out to be someone from the Shen family." Kim Tae-do.

Chu Yuan nodded: "If the king of Goryeo really wants it, then he can only go to Jiangnan and ask the old owner Shen in person to see if he is willing to let him go." "At least prevaricate in front of you.

"Time is limited, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Jiangnan." The King of Goryeo shook his head repeatedly.

Duan Baiyue thought to herself, it's right if you can't go.

Chu Yuan said regretfully: "Then there is really no way." ”

The King of Goryeo pondered for a long time, and then had a flash of inspiration and said, "What Emperor Chu just said is that he will return to Sun Moon Villa in a few years?" ”

Chu Yuan: "......"

"That's easy." Jin Tai patted his leg, "Now give the person to the Goryeo Kingdom for the time being, and after a year or two, I will personally send him back to the Chu Emperor, I don't know if this is okay?" ”

Chu Yuan continued: "No. ”

Kim Tae: "......"

Why?

Chu Yuan asked, "He's gone, who will protect me?" ”

The corners of Duan Baiyue's mouth raised, this sentence is quite likable.

Kim Tae language stopper.

"If the princess wants a warrior, there are many of them in this Chu country." Chu Yuan said, "Only this one, I won't let him out of the palace." ”

Duan Baiyue touched her chin.

If you don't let it go, you won't leave the palace, why don't you stay tonight?
