Chapter 168: The Rings

What a shameless person, Qingyi was speechless again.

Seeing that he looked at him dumbly, Li Wei said again, "There are many people in Beichen Country, and the people standing over there are all very capable, and the master said this as if I have no talent in Beichen Country, I am not happy to hear it." โ€

Qingyi had no choice but to laugh, "Your Majesty makes sense. โ€

Li Wei said, "Master, look, there are elders in Xirong, and we also have the finale." Since the master has traveled all over the world for many years, please see, the young man standing by the stake, do you know? โ€

Qing Yi followed her gaze, but saw a rather tall and handsome man, dressed not like a native of Beichen, wearing a valuable shirt, at first glance, no one would regard him as a contestant, but like the son of a relative of the emperor.

"Him?" Qingyi pondered for a moment, as if he remembered something, but did not speak again.

Li Wei was a little surprised, it was rare to see Master Qingyi with such a vigilant look, who was Beizhan who was?

Qingyi suddenly laughed again, "Your Majesty, it seems that there is no need to worry about this game." โ€

Seeing that the monk was so relaxed and confident, although Li Wei was a little relaxed, she was completely suspicious of the identity of the Northern War. She also knows a thing or two about the royal family of Yinghu Country, but there doesn't seem to be the right number for someone of Beizhan's age, who is he?

As for Beizhan himself, he is also wondering who the owner who invited him to participate in the competition is at the moment. In the past few days, he has been training with the contestants, occasionally asking for leave to go out to find someone, but he has never found the master who only appeared once, and he even asked Cui Yue to take him directly to see the master, but the Cui Yue guard was so cold that he died. Until today, he was about to compete, and he still hadn't been able to see her.

His financier is really good enough to hide, and even if he sends so many people, he can't find out the slightest bit of information.

When the old man's gaze met the Northern War, his eyes narrowed slightly, his hand on crutches trembled slightly, and his invisible legs moved invisibly.

"Senior Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." The Northern War calmly greeted.

"General Rong. How did you get here? "It's no wonder that the elder is so jealous of this person, in fact, when the two countries were at war, he suffered a big loss in his hands, which was the most tragic defeat in his life. It was also an experience that haunted him with nightmares at night.

"Didn't I miss the senior teacher, and I came here to discuss with the senior teacher again." Beizhan looked calm and unhurried, which made the old man's lips tremble slightly with his white beard.

"Hmph, today is the event between the Xiyu Kingdom and the Beichen Kingdom, and the national division advises you not to get involved."

"Yo. It seems that the National Teacher did not welcome me. But I came to Beichen in secret just to let Beichen inherit the love of the general, what do you say? The National Teacher personally played this time, which was harder than the last time he was in command. It's rare to be able to face a battle with the elders again, it's a rare opportunity, since I'm here, I won't go back empty-handed. โ€

The other party was resolute and not weak, and the old man had already appeared, so he couldn't be frightened, so he had to take a deep breath. "In this case, let's each do our own thing!"

Li Wei watched the event go on, and also knew that the two contestants had talked and knew that the two knew each other.

And if what Qingyi said has such a deep meaning, presumably the old man has some handle in the hands of the Northern War, or in other words, he has suffered a big loss in the hands of the Northern War.

There are cross-sections of the growth rings of a hundred trees, which are suspended from a human-high cross-section, and are similar in size and shape, in the observation time of a stick of incense. Find a tree ring that has been colored twice by a great artist, and the one with the shortest time wins.

When the drum sounded, the two began to observe separately, and the old man already had beads of sweat on his forehead. But he soon calmed down, staring intently at the hundred tree facet patterns in front of him. However, every time the white and gold robes of the Northern War shook in front of his eyes, he would be distracted by the defeat and wolf bรจi in the past, and the bloody situation of the soldiers of the Western Kingdom.

The spectators were holding their breath, and it was obvious that the Northern War's figure and observation time were very fast, while the slightly hunched old man was after the rapid movement at the beginning. Gradually, it slowed down, and the beads of sweat on his forehead became denser and denser.

Lian Meiren wrung her handkerchief anxiously, this game let the old man play, it was the most stable and steady, but now it seems that it is not like that, who is the young man who is fighting, and he is so powerful?

A stick of incense burned out quickly.

Next, the artist is ready, but first a stake section must be selected. Beichen gave the opportunity to choose to the people of Xiyu, who happened to be Lotus Beauty.

Lotus Beauty was covered with black cloth and held a bouquet of flowers in her hand, and she threw the bouquet back with her back to all the annual rings, which landed on one of the annual rings.

The painter can go up and add a very inconspicuous stroke.

The elder and the Northern War began to observe the time again, and it is not surprising that the Northern War was still won quite easily. And the elder failed to pick the annual rings at the last moment, and the moment the results of the competition were announced, his legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Senior Citizen, admit it! I wonder if the National Teacher has noticed that the older the tree rings, the older it gets, the bigger and more stripes it gets, until it is finally cut down and admired. The national teacher has to recognize the old. โ€

Beizhan smiled triumphantly, watching the old man retreat with a gloomy gaze, he retracted his smug words Who is it, and his sharp eyes suddenly glanced at the other three outstanding figures in the field.

Except for the envoys of the Xiyi Kingdom, almost all the eyes of everyone in the audience were focused on him, the victor, but who were the three extraordinarily dressed people in the corner?

Guan Qianyi, Master Qingyi, and His Majesty of Beichen Kingdom, who was wearing a dragon robe in the middle, were particularly conspicuous among all the spectators, although the three of them were in the corner of the arena, leaning on the private room surrounded by mahogany, but the three of them were standing and discussing something at the moment, their backs were noble and clear, and Beizhan saw Li Wei's quite familiar figure at first sight.

Could it be her? Beizhan's expression changed slightly, if she really had such an identity, it was no wonder that he couldn't find out the news, Beichen Kingdom's secrecy network was much stricter than that of Yinghu Kingdom. However, in this case, does he have to be more active in the next battle? Thinking of the order in which Cui Yue arranged for them to play in turn, he had a clear choice for the first time.

Is the emperor of Beichen Kingdom? She seems to have promised him that there would be a reward for winning.

Lian Meiren had already helped the elder down to rest, "Elder Elder, you can't continue to be in such a situation now, let Chen Xi go in the next game." โ€

The old man eased up, and his face turned pale. His eyes were confused as he looked at the Northern War, who was still standing on the field. He is old now, and such a competition seems to have consumed all the strength of his body. He seemed to be unable to see the figure clearly, so he had to wave his hand. He nodded slowly.

Beizhan came on the field again, glanced around, and saw that His Majesty had never set his eyes on him, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Although this gold lord is the king of a country, she has invited people to participate in the national competition. Now that she doesn't show a single one, is it sure that he will help her win all the events?

After a game of observation, although he will not be exhausted, his brain will be very tired. After consideration, the guard surnamed Cui planned to let the Northern War call the shots, and if he could, he would go up, and if he couldn't, he would use the reserve army.

The northern battle was faced, and the last one was narrowly won.

Beichen won the final victory, and the officials reported each other's successes, while Lu Xiao quickly passed the news outside the palace.

Guan Qianyi wanted to take Li Wei, who was a little dizzy, away. Qingyi stopped in front of her.

"Your Majesty, since Qingyi is a citizen of Beichen, it is no longer suitable to live in the embassy, please arrange a place for Qingyi." Qingyi paused, "It's best to live in the palace, and it's easy to find Qingyi when he wants to find His Majesty." โ€

This monk is really thick-skinned, Li Wei doesn't want to pick people up as soon as he wins, lest he be said to be ungrateful and cross the river and tear down the bridge, "Master Qingyi, don't leave it difficult in the palace." Why don't I arrange for you to stay in the inn outside the palace first? โ€

"Guest house?" Qingyi immediately shook his head, "Your Majesty can until, the inn is a temporary residence for the homeless, can your Majesty be Qingyi or a wandering monk?" Qing Yigang reached an agreement with His Majesty. Now Beichen celebrates the whole country, and there is also a credit to Qingyi, how can His Majesty let Qingyi live in the inn, no one takes care of it, no one greets him. โ€

Li Wei wanted to say something, but Guan Qianyi said. "There are many empty rooms in this palace, thanks to the help of Master Qingyi, I invite the master to stay, I don't know if the master appreciates his face?"

Qingyi directly refused, "The Lord Regent invites me to be gracious, but I don't want to live in the palace, I want to live in the palace." โ€

Li Wei was not very comfortable, but finally calmed down her victorious thoughts, calmed down, but when she heard this, she was furious, and scolded him directly, "Master, don't be a scoundrel, the palace really can't keep a foreign man, this is an ancestral rule." โ€

Qingyi softened his tone at this time, "How far is the Regent Palace's palace from the palace?" โ€

"Not far away, the time for a cup of tea."

"So, it's bothering."

As soon as Qingyi's place of residence was resolved, another person came in front of Li Wei, her forehead protruded, and she had a bad premonition, Beizhan came to her respectfully, and waved his hand and said, "General Qi Rong of Yinghu Country sees His Majesty, may His Majesty grow Wuji!" โ€

"Come on, get up." Being recognized by someone, Li Wei was not annoyed, she turned around and let the other two avoid it first, "Master Qingyi is also tired, it is better to go back to the house to rest before Lord Regent, I still have something to do." โ€

Guan Qianyi's vigilance against the Northern War is no less than that of Qingyi, but since this person intends to admit his identity in the palace, it shows that his intentions are not sinister. However, being driven away by Li Wei like this, he was unhappy in his heart. But if Qingyi wants to go back to the house, he can't just arrange a guard to send him back to the house, so insincere, I don't know what will happen to this monk.

Let's go back to the house for the time being, there are some unexpected things today, and he must explain to Cui Lei earlier.

Although Qingyi was reluctant, he still followed the regent.

Beizhan saw the two of them leave, leaving himself and His Majesty on one side, and his mood was somehow happy, "Your Majesty Xiร  is not harmed, but I have let Beizhan look for a long time." "The Northern War is his word.

"It's good that you're okay, I'm fine."

"Today's Beichen is a big victory, Your Majesty wants to reward me, the hero."

"I didn't know that the god of war of Yinghu Kingdom was here to help, but I didn't. Why don't I invite you to dinner and prepare wine to accompany your sin? โ€

"Your Majesty is serious, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

The moon is shining, and the breeze is scented with wine. Two people drink on the gazebo.

"Your Majesty is the grand occasion of the Beichen Kingdom, and the people of Your Majesty are smart and refreshing, but this wine is too light." Beizhan took a sip with a slightly unappreciative look.

Li Wei also took a sip, "The wine is not light, how can I be sober; If I am not sober, how can Beichen Kingdom gain a foothold. โ€

"His Majesty said deeply, the Northern War is taught, and he will punish himself with a cup." Drink it all, smack your lips, "Although it seems light, it makes people want to drink it more and more." โ€

Li Wei said bluntly, "Don't talk to me about what you have and don't have, hurry up and say that the purpose of your coming to Beichen Kingdom." "She is still chatting with a man so late, this feeling is very bad, and she still feels a little guilty about Guan Qianyi, she has to go to see Beichen Luo tonight, and by the way, she wants to reward him for today's watch.

"Your Majesty is really a bad scenery." Beizhan's good mood was overturned by her words.

"We don't have so much friendship, so we can't talk about any deep topics. Since the prince of Beizhan has concealed his identity and infiltrated my Beichen Kingdom, I see that you have won two events for Beichen, so I can not pursue you, but now I must explain my intentions. Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face. โ€

Obviously strict in the topic and tone, Beizhan had no choice but to nod squarely.

"In this way, there will be no nonsense in the Northern War. I believe that Your Majesty should have heard a few days ago that there is a missing prince in Yinghu Country, ranked eighteenth, and was born to a palace maid. General Ben was ordered to get the prince back. โ€

"The general was ordered to come to Beichen Kingdom to look for it?"

"After many investigations in the Northern War, I also went to the Xiyu Kingdom, and finally locked the Beichen Kingdom."

Li Wei narrowed her eyes, "It is said that the prince was lost more than ten years ago, and the general is still traceable?" โ€

"The Eighteen Princes were once quietly sent to the Xiyi Kingdom, but in just four or five years, they disappeared out of thin air. According to the eyeliner's report, he once went to Beichen Kingdom with the proton of Xiyu Country back then. Ben Jiang has been looking for nearly a year, and seeing that the king has been forced to have no way out, looking for the eighteen princes is the best solution, so he has no choice but to harass Beichen Kingdom. I hope your majesty xiร  forgive me. โ€

When Li Wei heard the proton of Xiyi, she naturally thought of Guan Qianyi, when Guan Qianyi was just named the crown prince, she was sent to Beichen as a proton, and she arrived in Beichen after a lot of hardships, is there any hidden story in this?

"Regarding the team of the proton of the Xiyu Kingdom going to Beichen, I don't know how much news the Northern War General has investigated?"

"When I was looking into the matter, I noticed that someone had deliberately provided us with information. When Xiyu Proton came to Beichen, the news was blocked, and the envoy team was also fake, and there were many caravans in parallel, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false. But back then, he was hijacked by a group of bandits? This is the first suspicion; In addition, the spies found out that some of the thieves who kidnapped the envoys of Beichen were actually killers sent by the Xiyu Kingdom. (To be continued.) )
