Chapter 14 Don't let the bearded woman be strange
Qin Xingyi looked up at Xuanyuan Mingyu standing in the ring, and was thinking about it, when she suddenly heard someone next to her asking what was going on, and when she turned her head, it turned out to be Mu Shuo back.
"Mu Zhuangshi, have you found your mount?"
Mu Shuo rubbed his hands excitedly, because he had successfully retrieved the horse and tied it to the stone pillar next to the ring.
"Yes, thank you Miss Qin for your concern. What's going on here, why is Prince Xuanyuan in the ring? ”
"It's a long story, don't ask what's going on, be sure to stare at the platform and watch it, Xuanyuan Mingyu will fall off the high platform."
Ren Sheng's brother and sister were standing beside Qin Xingyi at this moment, and when they heard Qin Xingyi predict that Xuanyuan Mingyu might fall out of the ring, Ren Zhen relented and asked first:
"Your Highness, what should I do then? The ring is so high, Xuanyuan Gongzi will break. ”
Mayor Ren pulled the sister-in-law, respectfully invited Qin Xingyi to take a seat, and said: "Don't worry, just look down patiently, everything is based on the will of heaven, wait to see the second child throw the copper coin, whether it is positive or negative, the final word." ”
At this time, the second brother of Ren Mansion stood on the stage and commanded several Ren Mansion family members to be busy collecting bets, and saw Jiang Zhaoyun's father scurrying around in the crowd, fanning the flames everywhere and encouraging the villagers not to bet big, which meant to support his son and want to stir up this ring match into no drama and singing.
Ren Fu is the backbone of the town mayor Ren Sheng's henchmen, absolutely loyal to the boss, knowing that the original intention of the boss to set up a gambling game in the ring is to make a big fortune, this game guess the size is just to throw bricks and lead jade, the big head is still behind, the wonderful process of winning or losing will provoke everyone to take out the money bag, and when I looked back, I saw that Xuanyuan Mingyu's shape was almost there, and reminded in a whisper:
"Master Xuanyuan, you'd better say a few words, briefly introduce yourself, set off your image, and try to attract some popularity."
"Yes."
Xuanyuan Mingyu agreed, tilted his head and thought about it for a while, feeling a little embarrassed, what should he introduce himself? It's too difficult to deal with my past as if it was blocked by a floodgate, without the slightest impression.
However, now that the matter is forcing Liangshan, the difficult things have to be done, so I had to cough lightly and say in a hoarse voice:
"Hello everyone, I'm a good person, not a murderer! That ......"
Before the words fell, a bunch of eggs, tomatoes, rotten vegetable leaves and the like flew from under the stage, like a rain falling from the sky, Xuanyuan Mingyu stood and did not dodge, in fact, it was not that he did not dodge, it was because of the injury on his leg that he was inconvenient to move, and he was smashed into a full house, and his face and clothes became melons.
When the second child of Ren Mansion saw that Xuanyuan Mingyu's self-introduction was counterproductive, he reproached:
"Forget it, how do you mention this? Aren't you bored with people betting on whether or not a murderer can fight? ”
Mayor Ren Sheng was watching from the audience, and felt that he should use the fact that Xuanyuan Mingyu was injured to win the sympathy of the audience, and try to persuade everyone to agree to him fighting, so that there would be a second gamble next.
Mayor Ren ordered the seventh elder to go back to the house to call the doctor, and asked him to convey his intention to the second child.
The second child of Ren Mansion immediately understood, and while asking the doctor to medicate Xuanyuan Mingyu on the spot, he fooled the audience and said:
"Did you see that? Although this Xuanyuan son is accused of murder, he can be regarded as kind to women. You see, he would rather have a blood on his head and an arrow wound on his thigh than fight back against a woman, and he still has a conscience, from this point of view, everyone should not object to him participating in the fight, right? ”
The second elder of the Ren Mansion persuaded everyone to agree to let Xuanyuan Mingyu participate in the fight, and sure enough, the effect was immediate, and the number of the big side increased.
Qin Xingyi sat on the VIP viewing seat, holding a teacup in his hand, smelling the rich jasmine tea in the teacup, and listening to the second child of Renfu inciting everyone to bet there, he felt that he was pushing Xuanyuan Mingyu into the fire pit, and couldn't help but say angrily: "It's too hateful!" ”
Ren Zhen sat on the chair next to Qin Xingyi, also holding a cup of tea in his hand, hearing this, he was a little puzzled, and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”
"Miss Ren, who do you think Xuanyuan Mingyu will win in the competition with the black iron tower on the stage?" Qin Xingyi had a graceful demeanor, her eyes did not leave the ring, and asked.
Ren Zhen was wearing a set of dark green lotus patterned Luo skirts, her hair was neatly combed, and she pursed her lips and smiled:
"Your Highness, does that Black Iron Tower refer to my sixth brother Jiang Zhaoyun? Hehe, Brother Jiang's martial arts are world-famous, and Prince Xuanyuan seems to be ...... Maybe ......"
Ren Zhen is worthy of being everyone's lady, leaving room for speech, halfway through the words at the moment, he is unwilling to say that Xuanyuan Mingyu may lose badly, as if cursing him, so he shyly stopped the topic, and lowered his head to taste tea.
After hearing this, Qin Xingyi was secretly unconvinced, this Black Iron Tower's martial arts are so powerful? She thought entangledly: Can't let Xuanyuan Mingyu die at the hands of the Black Iron Tower! The main reason is that Xuanyuan Mingyu cannot be without the participation of Xuanyuan Mingyu, and there is another small reason, that is, in her mind, Xuanyuan Mingyu has become an indispensable person, such a tenacious and beautiful young man, he is really reluctant to die.
Qin Xingyi hesitated for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Miss Ren, if this master and your sixth brother Jiang compete in martial arts, guess who's more likely to win?" ”
"Your Highness knows martial arts?"
Ren Zhen asked in surprise, thinking: This eldest princess is amazingly bold and bold, she actually asks this kind of question, she is really a woman in troubled times.
Qin Xingyi nodded with a bright smile, and said humbly: "It's not that I know martial arts, I just know a little bit about it, and I'm a layman, so I ask Miss Ren not to laugh." ”
"Your Highness knows a little bit about fur, it's also good, I don't know any martial arts, I don't have that talent. However, His Highness asked, is it going to fight? ”
"Wait and see, Master Rong will think about it carefully."
Qin Xingyi said this, hoping that the first gamble would come out as soon as possible, and hoped that the small bet would win, so that he would not have to show up on the stage to fight for that wrongdoer.
Qin Xingyi's thoughts were complicated, no one could understand her thoughts, and even she herself felt that her thinking was very wrong, as if she had fallen into a whirlpool, which was full of contradictions.
A sentence that understands martial arts a little bit sounds very easy, but it evokes Qin Xingyi's heavy memories, how easy is it to do this?
Qin Xingyi once remembered that when she was a child, she followed her father-in-law to practice light skills in the mountains and mountains, and her father-in-law was single-minded and busy collecting strange poisonous insects and poisons, so he was separated from him.
At that time, Qin Xingyi was only seven or eight years old, and she was still a childish little girl, but she was different from the pampered daughters of ordinary people, and she knew that everything had to be fought for by herself.
Although she was lost, in the face of the poisonous snakes and beasts in the deep mountains and old forests, Qin Xingyi was not afraid, she held a scimitar tightly in her hand, mustered up courage, cut through thorns and thorns, groped for several days and nights, and finally found a way out.
In Qin Xingyi's memory, most of them are fragments of practicing martial arts. I remember practicing my endurance to resist blows in the waterfall for a while, and I was washed into the lake again and again, choked countless times, and tried to persevere until I was able to stand firm under the powerful impact of the waterfall.
Memories are like a steel knife that pierces people's hearts. Qin Xingyi remembered that he had concentrated on practicing martial arts in the past, and he didn't know anything about feelings, but later he met Xuanyuan Mingyu, and somehow, he quietly hid his shadow in his heart, although a series of changes happened later, and he hated him to the bone, but after all, he was still reluctant to see him die in front of him.
Qin Xingyi's heart seemed to have a heavy hammer ringing, and a voice was saying: No matter what, Xuanyuan Mingyu must be allowed to live! Let him regain his health and memory! Let him clearly say it himself, why do you want to kill your father!
Qin Xingyi was set off by the memories of the past, and unconsciously clenched a pair of small fists, and swore that although she is a woman, she will never be discouraged, she must fight against fate to the end, and be a strange woman who does not let her eyebrows go, dominate the world, and smile proudly.
After Ren Zhen drank a cup of tea, she looked up at Qin Xingyi, only to feel that her expression was very peculiar, her round eyes seemed to be a deep and colorful pool of blue water, and she couldn't see through the bottom of the pool, only the mist on the water surface was spreading, hiding many hidden things.
"Your Highness, what are you thinking?"
"Nothing, a little distracted."
Qin Xingyi was alerted by Ren Zhen's questioning, and was unwilling to disclose her thoughts, her eyebrows raised, and she quickly denied it.
"Your Highness, can I help? It seems that His Highness has a lot on his mind, isn't it a little worried? ”
"Where will it be? Well, if the Lord is worried, he will definitely ask you for help. ”
Qin Xingyi saw that Ren Zhen was very innocent, and couldn't bear to refuse her help, so she had to say tactfully.
"Well, we'll settle our minds." Ren Zhen became happy, reached out and pulled the tips of her pigtails, coiling them with her pointed fingers.
A gong sounded, and the second child of Ren Fu shouted: "The first game is about to start!" Are there any bets? I'm going to count down, one, two, three! ”
As the arm of the second brother of Ren Mansion waved high, a copper coin flew into the air, affecting the hearts of everyone present, and they all paid attention attentively.
"Is it heads or tails? Say it! ”
Several anxious spectators didn't wait for the copper coin to land, and couldn't help but ask loudly.
There is one person with the most composed, and that is Mayor Ren Sheng. He is very confident in the second child's skill in throwing copper coins, knowing that the second child has been able to control the front and back of the copper coins after thousands of practices, and he is not surprised by the results this time, and said with a smile:
"Girl, I guess it's heads, bet on the big one to win."
Almost at the same time, the second child of Ren Mansion announced the result loudly, and in the first gambling game, the copper coin was face up, and the win was big.
Suddenly, everyone was mixed with joy and sorrow, and they began to shout.
Only Xuanyuan Mingyu was unmoved, standing silently on the high platform, giving people a feeling of loneliness and elegance.
