Chapter 617: Martial Arts Competition
In the imperial garden, the Grand Duke stepped forward with a smile on his face and reported, "Your Highness, Prince Tiezhen has been brought." As soon as the words fell, the handsome and tall man was already in front of him.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Dongfang Xu smiled slightly, "The prince doesn't have to be polite, the weather is bright today, it's really a good day, just now, the palace has discussed with the ministers of the court, and it is set for the fifth day of the next month, so that the fourth princess will marry Tie Zhen as a princess, I don't know what His Royal Highness the prince wants?" ”
originally thought that the other party's face would show a happy look, but Tie Zhen Yunwei frowned slightly, with a little hesitation.
"Could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince thinks it's too late?"
"No, that's not what Yunwei meant. It's just that...... Yun Wei thought that this matter should be considered in the long run, and should not be in a hurry. ”
What the? Did he repent? Dongfang Xu originally thought that the peace between the two countries would come naturally, what was this Tiezhen Prince thinking about? "Could it be that the prince doesn't like the fourth princess? Naturally, the marriage event cannot be forced, and His Royal Highness the Prince can choose another one. "An alliance with the Tiezhen clan is imperative, and the Chen Kingdom is so sincere, Prince Tiezhen should be content.
"Your Highness, don't misunderstand, it's just that Yunwei still wants to know more about the fourth princess, and he doesn't want to act hastily."
Dongfang Xu knew that the status of women in the Tiezhen clan was the same as that of men. This is their concept, if the woman is unwilling, the iron man will never be reluctant. It's just that he feels that Prince Tiezhen has too many concerns, the prince is excellent, and Yongwei is gentle, isn't this a match made in heaven for a talented man and a woman?
Looking at the other party's attitude, Dongfang Xu had no choice but to laugh lightly, "His Royal Highness the Prince takes such good care of the fourth princess, and the palace is very pleased. In that case, let the prince do as he wishes, and when the prince is ready, we will discuss the matter of peace. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." Tie Zhen Yunwei looked at such a reasonable man in front of him, and then thought of Yongwei's words, and became even more firm in his opinion, as long as he informed the prince of the truth, I believe that he would not block the marriage between the princess and the commander of the forbidden army, but he had promised the princess to keep it secret for her, Tie Zhen Yunwei would not tell the matter without authorization. It's just that...... At the moment, he doesn't plan to give up, at least, he wants to meet that person for a while to see if he is really worthy of the princess.
Looking at the departing back, Dongfang Xu's face sank, why is this Tiezhen Prince so troublesome? "Go, check and see, what happened to Prince Tiezhen?" Otherwise, how could there be such a sudden shift.
On the square, several tall figures of soldiers stood in the sunlight.
"Commander, this is the transfer of personnel from each palace today."
"Thank you for your hard work." As soon as Zhao Jun's words fell, he saw that familiar figure appeared not far away, and a trace of vigilance immediately crossed his eyes, but Tie Zhen Yunwei walked straight towards him.
"Your Excellency is the commander of the forbidden army of the Chen Kingdom?" He stood still in front of Zhao Jun, his tone tinged with a hint of hostility.
"Exactly, I wonder what His Royal Highness the Prince commands?"
There was a different atmosphere between the two, only to hear a buzz, Tie Zhen Yunwei suddenly pulled out the scimitar on his waist and slashed at the man in front of him, Zhaojun's eyes flashed, and he drew his sword like electricity, and the two soldiers immediately stirred up a burst of fire.
"Commander!" The guards next to him were startled, and they all showed their weapons to surround Tie Zhen Yunwei.
"Stop!" Zhao Jun immediately reminded him, and the eyes of several guards were full of hesitation, but they just took a few steps back and did not put down their weapons.
The Tie Zhen prince in front of him smiled slightly, and there was no apology in his tone, "I heard that the commander is a first-class master in this palace, and this prince has always liked to fight with masters, I wonder if the commander can discuss and learn martial arts with this prince?" ”
Zhao Jun looked at the other party's eyes, how could he suddenly find himself to compete? Don't...... He already knows the relationship between himself and Yongwei?
"His Royal Highness the Prince is a distinguished guest of the Chen Kingdom, and his subordinates don't dare."
"Hmph, a man stands up to the sky, nothing dare to dare! It's just a competition, in our Tiezhen, it is normal for men to compete, regardless of status! If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blames, this prince will naturally bear it! Tie Zhen Yunwei felt the strong internal force coming from the long sword opposite, and although the commander in front of him said that he didn't dare, he was not polite at all! I have to admit that his martial arts are really good.
Zhao Jun didn't miss the undisguised provocation in the man's eyes, and when he remembered Yongwei's frightened appearance yesterday, his eyes sank, "Since that's the case, my subordinates have been offended!" ”
On the square, there was a breeze, and two tall figures stood on the white marble, and there was no one around.
Several guards looked nervously at the men in the field, they were confident in their commander, but the other party's identity was special, for fear that their commander would suffer a loss.
"Your subordinates care about you." Tie Zhen Yunwei naturally did not miss the surrounding atmosphere, it seems that this commander of the forbidden army should be good to his subordinates on weekdays, otherwise he would not be so popular.
Zhao Jun didn't speak, just stretched out his hand, "Your Royal Highness, please." ”
……
The news spread quickly, like a stone falling into a calm lake, setting off a circle of ripples.
"Oh no! Oh no! Princess, the commander of the forbidden army and Prince Tiezhen are fighting in the square! Cai'er rushed in from outside with an anxious face.
With a bang, Yongwei was so shocked that she dropped the teacup in her hand, "What did you say?!" Her face turned pale in an instant, could it be that Prince Tiezhen was looking for trouble with Zhao Jun because of his own words? In case he hurts Zhao Jun, or if Zhao Jun hurts him, it won't do Zhao Jun any good, at this time, Yongwei regrets her recklessness at the beginning, she knew that this was the case, she would definitely not tell Tie Zhen Yunwei about the matter between herself and the commander of the forbidden army.
Possibilities came to mind, and the uneasiness in my heart grew bigger and bigger. "No, you can't!"
"Princess!" Without waiting for the palace maid behind her to stop her, Yongwei had already lifted her skirt and trotted away.
At this moment, many people gathered in the square.
Ji Jin, who was about to leave the palace, stopped when he saw several palace people running behind him. A look signaled, and the attendant next to him immediately stepped forward to ask.
"Lord Qiyu, the palace people said that Prince Tiezhen and the commander of the forbidden army competed in the square."
Prince Tiezhen and Commander?! How could there be such a thing.
"My lord, are we going home, or are we going to ......?"
A strange feeling crossed Ji Jin's heart, looking at the direction where everyone was going, and then opened the hem of his clothes and followed.
"Princess, don't go over, don't go over!" Cai'er was afraid that Yongwei would do something, so she chased after her, but at this moment, the woman in front of her couldn't listen to what she said at all, and when she rushed out of the corner, she bumped into someone.
"Ahh ”
"Prime Minister?!" Cai'er behind her exclaimed, Yongwei came back to her senses, but Ji Jin's eyes were attracted by the sachet on her waist, and the crape myrtle flowers on it were very clear. This...... Isn't it exactly the same as the sachet on the Forbidden Commander's body? Could it be a coincidence?
"Where is the princess going in such a hurry?"
Yongwei's body couldn't stop trembling, "I...... I ......"
"Does the princess want to go to the Commander of the Praetorian Army?" Ji Jin's voice was a little cold, his eyes were a little ghostly, Yongwei couldn't help but be shocked, what was going on, how did the prime minister know...... For some reason, Yongwei didn't dare to look at Ji Jin's eyes.
This young prime minister, but Chen Guo can't afford to provoke a big man, his mind and talent make Yongwei jealous, and Fang Cai's words, she believes that the prime minister doesn't know something?
"No, it's not ......" subconsciously avoided her gaze, and the prime minister saw her hand trembling uneasily, and a bad premonition crossed her heart.
Princess Yongle said that several men entered and exited Princess Yongwei's palace last night, and if she really had a personal relationship with the commander of the forbidden army, in order to dominate the power in the East Palace, it would not be difficult to enter and exit the princess's palace. But this matter has been discovered, and I am afraid that sooner or later it will be exposed. Ji Jin recalled what the prince said in the imperial study just now, he had decided to marry the fourth princess to Tie Zhen in order to gain the support of the Tie Zhen family, in case he knew that his right-hand man had a personal affair with the fourth princess, and he didn't know what would happen.
Prince Tiezhen suddenly found the commander of the forbidden army to compete, which also made Ji Jin very concerned.
"The sachet around the princess's waist is really exquisite."
Yongwei wanted to find an excuse to leave, but she didn't want the other party to suddenly say such a sentence, she subconsciously lowered her head to look at the sachet she had sewn by herself, and smiled awkwardly, "Let the adults see it, it's just an ordinary gadget." ”
"Crape myrtle flowers, people think of Princess Yongwei at first sight."
"......" Yongwei didn't understand the meaning of Ji Jin's words, and the man had already drifted past her faintly, "Your Majesty advises the princess, it's better not to go to the square for now, Your Highness will rush over soon." ”
Leaving such a sentence, the man's figure gradually faded away, Yongwei couldn't help but be stunned, Ji Jin's words reminded her, if the matter has spread, then I believe that the prince's brother will also appear soon, and she can't guarantee what things will turn out at that time.
"Princess, the prime minister has a point, the princess should go back to the palace and wait for news! Commanders have always been measured, and it won't be good. Cai'er immediately stepped forward and whispered to dissuade her, Yongwei clutched her chest tightly, and felt an inexplicable pain spread out and spread all over her body. She seemed to have been drained of all her strength, supported by Cai'er, and walked helplessly towards her palace.
On the square, two entangled figures, the wonderful competition made the palace people excited.
I didn't expect Prince Tiezhen's martial arts to be so powerful, but in comparison, the commander of the forbidden army was superior.
"What happened?" A cold voice sounded, and everyone looked up, only to see Dongfang Xuyan slowly coming in the crowd with an expression. His eyes came into contact with the sword light, and a little displeasure crossed his heart.
