218 The Ugly Court
The game went smoothly that day, and Zhan Zhao and Xun Yuebai won without much effort, so they ...... Tomorrow's decisive competition is Zhanzhao vs. Xun Yuebai.
And the remaining three or four, one is the short man Shi Kuohai, and the other is called Wudong.
Wudong is the northernmost person in Beihai, with quite obvious foreign characteristics, with brown curly hair, dark green eyes, tall stature, and silence.
Xuanyuan didn't know if Lu Dao was in a particularly good mood, so he ordered a banquet to be held in Xuanyuan Po's Mansion, and the four winning martial artists were invited first, of course, mainly to have a meal with Bai Yutang.
At the dinner, everyone went to Xuanyuan Po's house to meet with each other, and since Bai Yutang had promised Xuanyuan to try to be his son for a month, he naturally went.
Xuanyuan Ji had some things temporarily, and went to the study with Huai Mi Yuan Ming and others to discuss, leaving Xuanyuan Po to greet Bai Yutang, and a few martial artists.
As soon as Zhan Zhao entered the courtyard, before he could speak, Xiao Wu leaned over first and rubbed him like a big cat.
Bai Yutang was also quite embarrassed, and he didn't look at it for a while, but Xiao Wu wanted to come to Zhan Zhao, and it was impossible not to rub his face.
"Wow!"
Zhanzhao squatted down, held Xiao Wu's face and rubbed it, "What a cute big cat!" β
Everyone looked at it with some surprise.
Xuanyuan Po asked Bai Yutang, "This tiger doesn't recognize life. β
Bai Yutang replied indifferently, "It's not like this for everyone, it just fits its eyes." β
While speaking, Shi Kuohai also wanted to go over and touch Xiao Wu's head, but he didn't expect Xiao Wu to glance at him, a pair of tiger eyes were a little unkind, it seemed that he still remembered his fierce Bai Yutang stubble just now. Shocked, Shi Kuohai hurriedly stepped aside, "Rub, it must be a tigress!" β
The crowd looked at him in bewilderment.
"I just like little white faces." Shi Kuohai twisted his face dissatisfied.
Zhan Zhao rubbed enough Xiao Wu and stood up.
Xuanyuan Po was afraid of everyone's embarrassment, so he immediately helped introduce it.
At this time, Xuanyuan Jue also walked in, he looked at the crowd and swept his gaze over Bai Yutang, twisted his face, and walked elsewhere.
Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang - oops, as soon as he entered the door, he pulled hatred!
Bai Yutang looked back with a faint look - just a child.
The two didn't know if Lu Dao had been separated for a while, and a pair of eyes were a little inseparable, so they didn't dare to look at each other too much.
At this time, Xun Yuebai walked up and said to Bai Yutang, "It turns out that Your Excellency is Bai Yutang. β
Bai Yutang looked at him and nodded.
"I have heard for a long time that Bai Shaoxia's martial arts are strong, it would be good to have a chance to learn from each other." Xun Yuebai smiled.
Bai Yutang was a little wary of him, on the one hand, he sensed that Xun Yuebai wanted to win, on the other hand, this person seemed to know many people, and everyone looked like he was the leader, which was quite suspicious.
Bai Yutang nodded lightly and didn't say much, anyway, he didn't like to talk in the first place.
Fortunately, at this time, Xuanyuan arrived and broke the silence.
Everyone wanted to kneel and worship, Bai Yutang subconsciously flashed, and accidentally bumped into Zhanzhao...... It seems that he doesn't like to be knelt down, and he doesn't want to kneel, let alone show his knees.
Zhan Zhao couldn't cry or laugh, and slandered - if this rat continues to be so arrogant, he will be exposed sooner or later.
Xuanyuan Ji saw Bai Yutang's actions, smiled, and waved his hand to everyone, "Excuse me, sit." β
Everyone looked at each other, and said in their hearts that this is fresh, how good is Xuanyuan Ji's mood? I don't even pay attention to the etiquette of kneeling.
Xuanyuan Jue drank sullenly - what is so great about Bai Yutang? My father must have looked up to him too much.
Everyone took their seats, and the seat in Xuanyuan's hand was empty, as if he wanted Bai Yutang to sit, who expected Bai Yutang to sit directly next to Zhanzhao, and asked the waiter to feed Xiao Wu with beef.
Zhan Zhao sat down and muttered quietly, "Mouse, you take it easy." β
Bai Yutang touched Xiao Wu's head and whispered back, "Leisurely." β
Zhan Zhao was speechless.
Xuanyuan Ji looked at Bai Yutang and then at Zhanzhao, touched his beard, and nodded to Huai Mi, "Serve." β
When the banquet was placed, Xuanyuan Jian casually asked about the situation of the martial arts, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang drank wine and chatted with Zhan Zhao sentence by sentence, feeling like old at first sight.
Zhan Zhao was originally afraid of arousing Xuanyuan Ji's suspicions, but after thinking about it, in fact, there was no need to deliberately pretend to be very rusty, but it was unnatural. Bai Yutang is a person in the rivers and lakes, and it is too normal to be familiar at first sight.
It's just that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are comfortable, and Xuanyuan Ji and they don't suspect it, but Xun Yuebai, who is sitting opposite, is a little mindful.
Xun Yuebai frowned slightly, Bai Yutang and Yin Twelve were very close to each other.
Thinking of this, he glared at Shi Kuohai again, what it means - it's all your fault, if you didn't plot against Zhanzhao just now, you won't give them a chance to become friends.
Shi Kuohai is also quite innocent, but he looked at Xun Yuebai, what does that mean-tomorrow's game, are you sure?
Xun Yuebai didn't make a sound, and continued to drink tea, but when he lowered his head to drink tea, the corners of his mouth picked slightly.
This subtle change in expression, impartial, was seen by Bai Yutang. Moreover, Bai Yutang had a feeling that Xun Yuebai had specially shown him that expression.
At this time, the maid brought the snow crab, Zhanzhao smiled, and said in his heart that it was worthy of the Beihai Emperor's treat, although this crab was not as big as the one Bai Yutang bought back before, but it didn't look bad.
Zhanzhao poked the crab meat in front of him with chopsticks, looked left and right and found that there was no dipping sauce, and others seemed to have it......
But at this time, it was not good to dip the crab meat in the dish of Bai Yutang as before, Zhan Zhao was about to find someone to ask, when he saw a maid walking up with a vinegar dish and putting it in Zhan Zhao's hand.
Zhan Zhao smiled, said thank you, and took the crab meat to dip it.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yutang suddenly put his plate in front of him and said, "Dip this." β
Zhan Zhao was stunned, and everyone around him was a little surprised, only Xuanyuan Ji smiled slightly.
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang with crab meat and a smile on his face, "What are you doing?" Are the two servings of vinegar different? β
Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao's smile, helpless - this cat really found out, but he pretended to be stupid when he found out......
"Oh, no." Bai Yutang said lightly, "Your share is just poisonous." β
"Ahem......"
Xuanyuan Po, who was eating on the side, choked on a sip of wine and patted his chest and looked over, "What?" β
The officials who were present to accompany them were also surprised.
Xuanyuan Ji glanced at Huai Mi.
Huai Mi walked to Zhanzhao's side, took out a silver needle to measure the dipping sauce, and then raised his head, "It's indeed poisonous." β
And when they looked again, they saw that the silver needle had turned purple.
Zhan Zhao pretended to be surprised and patted his chest, "It's so dangerous." β
Bai Yutang glanced at him helplesslyβthis cat pretended to be quite similar.
"Who poisoned it?!" Xuanyuan Po's face sank, slapped the table, and the maid who had brought Zhanzhao the dipping sauce just now was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, shook her head and stammered that she didn't know what to say, looking like she was about to die of fright.
At this time, except for Zhanzhao Bai Yutang and others, many people present glanced at Xun Yuebai who was present.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Yin Twelve's ability is better than Xun Yuebai, and Bai Yutang seems to be more in love with him, if tomorrow's competition is Zhanzhao against Xun Yuebai, Xun Yuebai is more likely to lose. In other words, if Zhanzhao dies today, it will be Xun Yuebai who will benefit.
Xuanyuan Po asked the maid to explain who instructed it, and the maid couldn't stand the fright, and pointed at Xun Yuebai and said that it was him.
Xun Yuebai smiled helplessly, shook his head, and by the way, grabbed Shi Kuohai, who was jumping up on the side.
Xuanyuan Jue frowned, "Xun Yuebai, although the martial arts test can use a hidden weapon, but poisoning the opponent before the martial test is really a villain's behavior." β
Shi Kuo was anxious, "Just rely on her words to wronged my eldest brother!" β
Xuanyuan put down the wine glass, looked at Xun Yuebai, and asked, "What do you have to explain?" β
Xun Yuebai smiled faintly, "I haven't done it, the emperor will be able to see the flaws." β
Xuanyuan Jue frowned when he saw that he didn't admit it, "Someone pointed out against you, what method do you have to prove your innocence?" β
"Ahem." Xuanyuan Jie coughed and asked Bai Yutang, "What do you think?" β
Bai Yutang looked at the few people opposite, and said, "It wasn't him who poisoned him." β
Xuanyuan nodded with a smile.
Zhan Zhao was still at a loss, and asked Bai Yutang, "Who poisoned that?" β
Bai Yutang stared at Zhan Zhao for a long time, and sighed secretly - this cat is good at pretending to be stupid.
Bai Yutang put down the cup and suddenly glanced at the witch cave sitting in the far corner.
Wu Dong kept his head down and drank, but there was no reaction.
Xun Yuebai suddenly asked, "If Brother Yin is poisoned today, what will be the competition tomorrow?" β
Xuanyuan looked at Duan Hong.
Duan Hong said, "Tomorrow, I will first try Wudong and Shi Kuohai, and the one who wins, and then I will compete with you first." β
"So." Xun Yue Bai said, "Originally, they could only compete for the third place, but now they are both likely to compete for the first place." β
Everyone frowned.
"If Brother Yin hadn't died, the chances of me getting the first place tomorrow were half and half." Xun Yuebai said slowly, "But the possibility that Wudong and Shi Kuohai can get the first place is almost zero. But if Brother Yin died, I might still be able to get the first place tomorrow by half and half, but the two of them have changed from zero to half and half, so the real benefits are actually Kuohai and Wudong. β
Everyone frowned.
Xuanyuan nodded.
"It's impossible for Kuhai to be poisoned, he's my brother, he's never beaten me, even if he has the opportunity to compete tomorrow, he won't have a chance to win." When Xun Yuebai said this, he didn't say any more.
Xuanyuan Ji looked at Bai Yutang and asked, "What do you think?" β
Bai Yutang glanced at Xun Yuebai again, and frowned secretly, a little worried about Zhan Zhao who would fight tomorrow, this person was scheming, not to mention, but also suspicious.
Zhanzhao continued to drink and pretend to be stupid.
"Witch Cave." Xuanyuan Po asked, "You are suspicious, what do you have to say?" β
Wudong stood up and arched his hand, "I am wronged, but I can prove my innocence below!" β
"Oh?" Regulus asked, "What evidence do you have?" β
Wu Dong took a step forward and bowed to Xuanyuan...... At the same time, as soon as he raised his hand, two blue Yingying sleeve arrows shot at Xuanyuan Ji.
Xuanyuan Jue's eyes lit up, and Xuanyuan Jue on the side shouted, "Father, be careful!" So he flew over and helped him.
At the same time, Xun Yuebai's wine glass had already been thrown out, just blocking those few hidden arrows.
Duan Hong shouted, "Catch the assassin!" β
However, his shout fell, and before everyone had time to make a move, Wu Dong had already flashed, pulled out the soft sword hidden in his belt, stabbed Xuanyuan Ji with a sword, and said in his mouth, "Xuanyuan Ji, take your dog's life today!" β
Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows at Bai Yutang - did you look at it? Assassin.
Bai Yutang was helpless - wasn't he an assassin?
At this critical moment, Xuanyuan suddenly raised his hand......
The sword in Wu Dong's hand that pierced his heart was shattered into pieces by the force of his palm, and his colleague, Xuanyuan Ji grabbed Wu Dong's neck with one hand and sneered.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned at the same time...... I only felt that the killing intent was flooding all around.
Looking at the Wudong again, Xuanyuan Jian had already broken his neck with one hand, and he was shocked with his internal strength...... Wu Dong suddenly screamed, and his entire body was torn apart by internal force.
Just now, he was still a good person, but in an instant, the stumps of his body were torn apart and scattered on the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Where did the people present still have an appetite, this bloody scene, Bai Yutang almost vomited even the overnight meal.
Xuanyuan Ji killed Wu Dong, but it didn't matter, he stretched out his hand.
Huai Mi handed over a clean handkerchief.
Xuanyuan wiped his hands and looked at the maid again.
The maid pulled out the short sword hidden in her arms, but she didn't go to assassinate Xuanyuan, but approached and put the sword on Bai Yutang's neck.
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, looking at the maid, he really wanted to persuade her - hurry up and run away.
"Xuanyuan! You've done all the bad things, ...... today"
It's just that she didn't finish her words, and on the other side, Xun Yuebai threw a wine glass over and hit the maid's forehead.
Bai Yutang saw that his snow-white sleeves were stained with red blood.
Zhan Zhao couldn't help frowning, the maid's eyes widened, and she fell straight to the ground, crying for her life.
Xuanyuan nodded appreciatively, "Xun Yuebai has a meritorious role in saving the driver." As he spoke, he said to Huai Mi, "Reward." β
"Yes." Huai Mi asked people to send a reward of silver to Xun Yuebai.
Xun Yue got up expressionlessly and accepted the reward, and Xie Xuanyuan rewarded him.
Xuanyuan nodded, "You're smart. β
Xun Yuebai sat down.
Xuanyuan Ji looked at Zhan Zhao again and smiled, "Kung Fu is good, but people are simpler." β
Zhan Zhao scratched his head.
Bai Yutang glanced at him silently - this cat, is this the purpose?
"Yu'er." Xuanyuan said to Bai Yutang with concern, "The sleeve is stained with blood, hurry up and change it." β
Bai Yutang nodded lightly, and looked at Xuanyuan Jue, who was still sitting in front of Xuanyuan Ji at this time, and subconsciously wanted to help him block the secret weapon just now. Xuanyuan Ji smashed the blood behind the witch cave with one palm, splashing him all over. Xuanyuan Jue was only a teenager after all, and he was indeed a little frightened.
Bai Yutang sighed secretly - he was also considered filial, and he even risked his life to save his father, but unfortunately, Xuanyuan didn't even look at him.
After that, Xuanyuan Ji told everyone to continue drinking and feasting, but who could eat the bloody corpse in front of him.
Zhan Zhao put down the chopsticks and never picked them up again, Bai Yutang could see that the cat was trying his best to endure it. Xuanyuan Ji and Xun Yue Bai regarded human life as a mustard and acted cruelly...... This has already disgusted Zhanzhao.
The banquet was unhappily dispersed, and Xuanyuan asked Bai Yutang to accompany him for a walk.
Bai Yutang left and looked at Zhanzhao.
Zhan Zhao stared at the two corpses on the ground, and his face was unprecedentedly ugly.
After the end.
Xun Yuebai left with Zhanzhao and others.
"Brother Yin, you really didn't see that it was Wudong who wanted to harm you?" Xun Yuebai asked.
Zhan Zhao smiled faintly and shook his head, "No, Brother Xun is very smart. With that, he turned around and left.
Xun Yuebai looked at Zhanzhao's back as he walked away, frowning slightly.
"Big brother." Shi Kuohai was very happy, patting him, "Don't worry, that Yin Twelve is a heartless eye, you are much stronger than him, Xuanyuan Jie obviously likes you more." β
Xun Yuebai smiled faintly and shook his head, "His words are just right to praise you." β
"Which word?" Shi Kuohai was puzzled.
"Simple." After Xun Yuebai finished speaking, he shook his head and turned to leave.
Shi Kuohai had no choice but to follow.
Zhanzhao walked to a dark alley, and a white shadow suddenly fell.
Zhanzhao frowned, "Why are you here?" Watch out for being discovered! β
In front of him is Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang spread his hands, "I'll change my clothes." β
Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and touched his face, "Xuanyuan Ji is far more ferocious than you imagined, you have to be careful when you are around him." β
Bai Yutang nodded and gently pulled Zhanzhao's hand, "Cat, why are you pretending to be stupid?" β
Zhan Zhao smiled, "I want to be by your side." β
Bai Yutang was slightly stunned.
Zhan Zhao pinched his cheeks, "If Xuanyuan really hurts you, he won't let someone too shrewd be by your side." β
Bai Yutang smiled and shook his head, "Thank you for your hard work, cat." β
"Go back and see you tomorrow." Zhan Zhao rubbed Bai Yutang's face, turned around and ran quickly.
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, sighed, and went back.
Zhan Zhao ran away, stopped, and his face sank.
"How?"
At this moment, a person fell from the wall.
Zhan Zhao looked up and saw that it was Marquis Yin.
"I'm a little nauseous." Zhan Zhao said coldly.
"Who made you sick, Xuanyuan Ji or Xun Yuebai?" Tianzun who fell on the other side asked.
"Both." Zhanzhao's always warm face was rarely full of disgust...... Before entering the palace, he had already seen that the court was only ugly, and he had to look at Bai Yutang, this mouse entered the wolf's den.
