Chapter 40: The Contest (3)

The little girl is a little anxious!

Ignoring the people in the hall, she stepped directly in front of Li Chengdao, raised her little face and shook her head slowly, her tearful eyes stared straight at Li Chengdao, her lips trembled slightly unconsciously, but she couldn't speak, and at the same time she kept twitching her small and delicate nose.

"His Highness Linchuan? What's wrong? Li Chengdao didn't finish his sentence, and there was no voice, and everyone would naturally instinctively look up to find the reason; It's just that when they locked their eyes on Li Chengdao, it happened to be the moment when Linchuan stood in front of Jia Chengdao and wanted to speak but was silent.

However, what no one expected was that the first one to run over was the Wu Zhao who had always been at odds with Linchuan - she rushed over and took Linchuan's other hand, and glared at Li Chengdao fiercely without fear, "Are you bullying Linchuan?" ”

"......" Li Chengdao opened his eyes and was facing Linchuan's gaze, and the reflection in his big eyes full of pleading was his own figure - the young man who appeared in front of everyone with a mask was very strange!

The cold iron mask blocked his integration with this era, so what he showed was a strange and familiar indifference!

- Is that yourself?

Li Chengdao couldn't help but hesitate, because the one who was looking for this indifferent face was the owner who reflected his eyes!

I'm just making excuses myself!

Just like the group of people who sent themselves back to the orphanage, they all made excuses for themselves again! All of this is just so that I don't have to bear that heavy responsibility - I don't have that obligation! They naturally think that way - they are not qualified! I naturally think that - in essence, both are the same dog!

I'm becoming the kind of person I hate and hate! The kind of person who thinks only about himself! The kind of person who is covered in hair but says that others are monsters! The kind of person who gradually numbs himself! The kind of person who was longed for by Linchuan but kicked her away with a blank face and then said that he was not qualified!

Do you have to lose everything in the end to discover and admit your mistakes? The words he had said rang in his ears.

He smiled, smiling easily and cheerfully—he wanted more than proof, right?

Raising his head, Li Chengdao gently broke away his hands, lowered his head and opened his arms in Linchuan's struggle, full of smiles, "Linchuan, you are going to meet yourself~"

"Second brother!" The little girl finally burst into tears and laughed, gently brushed aside the martial arts photo that grabbed her other hand, and threw herself into Li Chengdao's arms, "Second brother! ”

"Alright! Everyone else is watching your jokes~" Lee Seung-do patted her on the back, trying to soothe her emotions while teasing in her ear.

"Wu Zhao, you are not allowed to laugh!" The little girl glanced at her head, and saw her enemy Wu Zhao standing there smiling, her face was immediately red, and she turned her head again and buried herself in Li Chengdao's arms and said in a muffled voice, "Don't laugh!" Don't laugh! The third brother is not allowed to laugh! ”

"Okay, well, don't laugh anymore; But Chuan'er, your third brother still has to compete with Helan Yueshi! How do you want them to get started? ”

"Oh~" The little girl seemed to be very aggrieved, but she still came out of Li Chengdao's arms, but quickly hid behind him. It seemed that everything had calmed down, only Lee Seung-do felt the little girl clutching his hand tightly, still trembling slightly. And Wu Ming, the little sister of the martial arts family who has been hiding in her mother's arms obediently, boldly made a grimace at Linchuan, "Shame, shame!" ”

Who knew that Linchuan didn't refute at all, and directly took back his exposed head, and the whole person hid behind Li Chengdao and refused to show up again.

Everyone smiled with relief - this is a normal little girl!

Only Wu Zhao glanced at Li Chengdao fiercely without any scruples before turning around and returning to his seat.

"Alright, now move on!" Li Shimin, the first emperor of the ages, is not afraid, but he is still afraid of you, the future empress who has not grown up now? Li Chengdao completely ignored the second martial artist, "Helan made the first move, which is the beginning!" ”

When the others didn't react, Li Chengdao added another condition, a strange condition that made people speechless.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Others don't know, but Helan Yueshi understands Li Chengdao's intentions, so he is not polite, after all, this kind of thing is a long life!

Standing still outside the hall, Li Ke stared at his opponent Helan Yueshi not far away from him with a complicated expression. That gaze contains guilt, helplessness, hesitation, and self-confidence!

On the other hand, Helan Yueshi is still full of confidence, and he has the kind of calm and unhurried attitude of "the enemy army is besieged by tens of thousands, and I will not move", and he will not change the momentum of responding to all changes.

It's just that it's all waiting for him to do it!

Everyone's eyes were attracted by this seemingly handsome young man in plain clothes and sword eyebrows, and they couldn't help but hold their breath, staring at him without blinking, and even some people had some small drops of sweat on their heads and foreheads!

――It's hard to imagine that this powerless scholar in plain clothes would dare to accept someone else's martial arts! Could it be that he has been instructed and educated by a superior person, and he has not been able to hide it deeply?

Even Lin Chuan, who was hiding on the side, could feel that the palm that wrapped his left hand couldn't help but slightly increase his strength, and he didn't know who he was worried about.

The sparkling eyes turned a few times, and the little girl leaned her head on his back, and her right hand gradually increased in strength.

"Ahem!" Others don't care, Li Chengdao can also bear it, but the little girl who secretly poked her head out behind him to observe the movement outside the hall was constantly grabbing and shrinking his collar, so you can't ignore it! At least if there is no movement, Lee Seung-do will be strangled!

-- That's a matter of relatives and enemies -- this kind of self-sacrificing thing Li Chengdao won't do, unless it's her!

"Alright! Helan Yueshi don't be handsome, let's start quickly! ”

Hearing this, the corners of the samurai's mouth twitched - how could this highness not be afraid of anything?

Only Wu Zhao habitually glared at him, in harmony with the deliberately suppressed "flutter" sound coming from behind him.

However, it is undeniable that the increasingly tense and depressing atmosphere in the hall just now suddenly disappeared because of Li Chengdao's words, but they didn't care.

"Since His Royal Highness has said so" Someone urged, Helan Yueshi naturally couldn't continue to remain silent, and only smiled lightly, "Then, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, it's about to start!" ”

At the next moment, he put away his smile and kept his face calm, as if he had finally become serious and entered the state.

Seeing this, Li Ke also regained his spirits, focused on his opponent, and did not dare to relax at all.

Everyone's hearts hung again, staring at the two people in the hall.

"I throw in the towel!"

Everyone waited anxiously, but what they were waiting for was such a sentence!

"Huh?" Helan Yueshi said it lightly, but others couldn't accept it all of a sudden-Li Ke's face was flushed, his eyes were round, his mouth was so wide, his brows were furrowed, and even his hair was shaking-what's going on?! Trick me?

Everyone in the hall couldn't understand it, and their eyes were round - what was the situation?

Even Li Chengdao felt that the little paws behind him that were shaking at the corners of his clothes suddenly stopped, and he could imagine the confusion and surprise of this little girl who opened her mouth slightly and kept blinking.

"Helan Yueshi, are you sure you want to admit defeat?" No one squeaked, but Lee Seung-do couldn't be silent. It's just that how can his consistent tone make people more and more angry?

"Back to Your Highness! Throw in the towel below! Helan Yueshi once again announced his decision, "I don't know martial arts at all, I can only admit defeat!" ”

In the same way that Lee Seung-do's tone remained the same, he still wore that humble and gentlemanly smile, but the difference was that they would no longer regard his smile as a sign of etiquette - this should be regarded as an alternative rebellion, right?

But I won't say it sooner! What are you doing there! Despite this, everyone still couldn't help but slander.

"Oh~" Li Chengdao nodded clearly, as if confirming Helan Yueshi's admit, and there was no conjecture or consciousness that "people are refuting his arbitrariness".

Old folk! The old man can't stand you!

Thinking that it was over, Wu Shi Tong raised his head, his slightly dry lips slightly open, and looked up to the sky and laughed at himself—he already believed that Li Chengdao must have threatened Helan Yueshi yesterday! However, he never understood that the king of Shu liked his eldest girl, why did he marry the second girl to His Royal Highness King Shiyin of Helan Yue but did not push the boat down the river, but he wanted to toss it like this? Is it really because of the suspicion of the saints?

"That's it," Li Chengdao turned his head and glanced coldly at Li Ke, whose face was flushed, on the other side, "Then Li Ke wins this game"

"The next game is ......" Just when everyone thought it was over, Lee Seung-do once again let out the voice that was noise to others.

"Wait!" Wu Zhao, who wanted to make a smile, couldn't help but shout when he heard that Li Chengdao was going to continue.

"What? Does the second lady of the martial arts family have any objections? Li Chengdao glanced at the martial arts photos on the side, and seemed to be smiling - this girl is not afraid of herself! This does not bode without good signs! It seems that he needs to get those chores done quickly to educate this person well.

"Your Highness misunderstood, Zhao'er is just a little puzzled, I hope Your Highness will deign to solve your doubts~" Wu Zhao smiled and bowed to Ying Ying - no matter how dissatisfied or despised she was in her heart, Wu Zhao's surface work still had to be done. However, if she knew that it was because of her own mouth that he attacked him in advance, I don't know what the expression would be.

"Oh? What doubts? Let's listen to it~" The words of question, but the tone of voice is flat, showing the owner's casual attitude.

"His Royal Highness said that he would adopt a best-of-three system, and now His Royal Highness the King of Shu has won two games, and it is obviously meaningless to play the third game, so why continue?" Wu Zhao gritted his teeth, but he still spit out what he thought word by word.

"Yes, this king's rule is to win two games in three games, but did Li Ke win two games?" Li Chengdao snorted, and then sneered and faced Li Ke, "Li Ke, you said, you won a few games!" ”

"......" The puzzled gazes of everyone seemed to make Li Ke a little promised, "I ......"

"Just do it! Like a man! Finally, Lee Seung-dao changed his tone, and he was no longer that annoying look.

"One round!" Li Ke closed his eyes and replied loudly.

"Helan Yueshi, tell them which game Li Ke won against you!"

"Your Highness......" Helan Yueshi hesitated a little, and the dark eyes under the sword eyebrows were full of strange light.

"Say!" Lee Seung-do's tone was very resolute!

"Martial arts!"

"Li Ke, do you know where you lost?"
