Chapter 388: An Opportunity Appears (I)
Although Zhu Xiaobao's answer was very disappointing, Duanmuqi didn't pay attention to it, but was thinking about the deep-seated reason for this matter. Either the credit of this person is great, or the influence of this person is great! Or maybe this person's strength is so strong that even the emperor can't control him, and being crowned king is just a compromise!
But two horses competing for this 'British king' is rare, which can only show that the interior of the North Zirui Kingdom is not so peaceful! It is very likely that the emperor will use one to suppress the other. Although the reason is still unclear, Duanmu Qi feels that this is an opportunity for Zhu Xiaobao to return to the palace!
And according to the news from Tong Wuxin, this time the competition also invited many big families to watch and witness the battle. This made Duanmu Qi's eyes light up, since all the great families went to watch the battle, it was a good opportunity!
"We'll have to find a way to get in, I'd love to see this sister of mine!" Zhu Xiaobao also said with a little interest.
"No, you don't! If I expected it to be true, for such a big event, the people of the Vermilion Bird Clan would definitely be invited, then Zhu Rong, the right protector, should come to us and take the initiative to find us! Duanmuqi shook his head and smiled.
"Huh? Are you so sure? Zhu Xiaobao asked with some suspicion.
"Bet! If I lose, I won't smoke a cigar for three days! If I win, you can cook for me for three days! Duanmuqi said confidently, and then said to the people around him: "You can also choose to stand in line!" Let's see who of us wins! ”
"Good! My old apprentice and Jumei here must be on my side! Zhu Xiaobao said with great interest, he didn't care about winning or losing, it was a big deal to cook food for Duanmuqi for three days!
"No, no, no! Master, this time I want to be on Duanmuqi's side, because even if you win, it won't do you any good! The old apprentice shook his head and said hurriedly.
"You! You! You're so shameless! Just to be able to eat for nothing for three days? Zhu Xiaobao scolded angrily.
"Young master, I also want to be on the old man's side! I want to eat it too! Jumei also said timidly.
"Get out! You foodie! Zhu Xiaobao felt a little betrayal.
"We're on Mr. Duanmu's side too!" Tong Wuxin, Mu Junyi, and several other people present also said in unison.
"Don't you think I'm really like a fool?" Zhu Xiaobao asked sadly.
"Yes!" I didn't expect it to be a voice in unison......
……
After three days, Zhu Xiaobao and the others were still staying in Beiqiao Town, according to Duanmuqi, they were waiting for Zhu Rong. But it's been three days, and there hasn't been any movement at all, and the big guys are very suspicious that Duanmu Qi has misjudged this time!
Duanmu Qi is very calm, he is now playing chess with Zhu Xiaobao. Zhu Xiaobao made a pair of chess and wanted to relieve his boredom with Duanmuqi in the next period. Unexpectedly, Duanmuqi got into it all of a sudden, and he was very obsessed with this kind of puzzle game!
However, at the beginning, Zhu Xiaobao was still sure to win, but in just three days, Duanmuqi has already made great progress, and he can occasionally go to the endgame!
"Hey, hey, hey! Didn't you say that the leader can't move easily, what kind of start is this? Duanmu Qi was a little overwhelmed, he didn't expect that the beginning of the Zhu Xiaobao Club would not only be the first cannon and the flying phase game, but also have other openings!
"Hey, hey! It's called Pantou Horse! Haven't seen it! If I don't give you some color, you'll still think you're a master! Zhu Xiaobao smiled very proudly, there were dozens of various openings in his memory, and now it was very easy to clean up Duanmuqi!
"Hmmm! I'll go back and do some research, huh! This kind of chess still requires a lot of skill! Although Duanmuqi was killed again and defeated, he was still very satisfied. He is now completely obsessed with this kind of chess, a cup of tea, a chessboard, and a fierce attack! It's definitely one of life's great joys!
At this moment, Mu Junyi outside the door walked in and reported that Zhu Rong was here!
Seeing Zhu Rong again, Zhu Xiaobao's eyes lit up, her current outfit was completely different from before, a blue cloth jacquard shirt, a gold crown on her head, bits and pieces of decorations on her body, and a clanging sound when she walked! There's also a silver collar around the neck! It's very much like the costume of a certain ethnic minority in later generations. There are still faint smile lines on her face, and she doesn't have the noble lady's air of Princess Wen before, but she has a little more charm and beauty like a young woman!
"Hah! You've come just in time, I have something to ask you! As soon as Zhu Xiaobao saw Zhu Rong, he immediately said first.
"Huh? That...... The old decay retired first! Duanmuqi was a little surprised, but he also knew each other and put away the chessboard first.
"Huh! You're awake and you look like you're recovering well! Although Zhu Rong was also a little surprised, she still smiled and said.
"Humph! When will I wake up, you should know best, right? Zhu Xiaobao stared at Zhu Rong and snorted.
"Hmmm! Almost! Why, you left me here alone, just for this? Zhu Rong didn't seem to be flustered at all, and still asked very calmly.
"Humph! And not only that, but also ...... Let me touch it too......" Zhu Xiaobaopi said with a smile, grabbed Zhu Rong's hand with one hand, and came to her with all his might, and the other hand was also ready to move!
"What are you doing? I'm not one of your bodyguards! Zhu Rong also said a little angrily.
"What? When I was asleep, did you still help Jumei change my clothes? Zhu Xiaobao said very annoyed.
"yes, is it wrong for me to take care of you?" Zhu Rong really didn't understand the meaning of Zhu Xiaobao this time!
"Hmph, then I'm not being looked down on by you, no, I have to look back, I've never suffered such a big loss!" Zhu Xiaobao said with a heartfelt voice.
"Huh? That's it? You ...... "Zhu Rong is completely speechless this time, just for such a trivial matter?" In her eyes, Zhu Xiaobao is just a little hairy child!
"Hey, hey! If you don't have anything to say, give me justice! Zhu Xiaobao snorted proudly, and reached out and grabbed Zhu Rong's left chest. Suddenly, Zhu Rong's body trembled suddenly, and the ornaments on her body made a clanging sound.
"You let go! If you don't let go! I'll go back! Originally, this time I was here to take you into the martial arts arena! Zhu Rong suddenly shouted in a shy and anxious voice, she didn't expect Zhu Xiaobao's skills to be so fast, and she didn't have time to react. What's even more embarrassing is that he still feels a little weak, and at this time he realized that the Zhu Xiaobao in front of him is no longer the hairy child three years ago, but a young man who has begun to mature!
"That's ten days away, I'll settle our accounts first! You drugged me back, and I'll have to settle accounts with you! Zhu Xiaobao didn't flinch, and was still exploring inside, which made Zhu Rong's tears fall suddenly!
"You...... Wronged! Without my medicine, you can't remember the past at all, do you think you remembered it yourself? …… It's me...... Just help you remember! Zhu Rong really left two lines of tears on her face, and looked at Zhu Xiaobao with resentment, but she didn't resist! It's just staring at Zhu Xiaobao with such a grudge.
"Really?" Zhu Xiaobao was also stunned, although the other party no longer resisted, but he couldn't help but stop, but he still asked suspiciously.
"I really didn't lie to you! Besides, I just helped you change your clothes outside, and the rest are made by Jumei, she doesn't want others to touch you! Also, who wants to help you change your underwear, I'm still dirty! Zhu Rong whispered, and at the end of what she said, her face was also full of crimson!
"Hmmm! Yes! Right now! Let's get down to business! Zhu Xiaobao reluctantly withdrew his claws, and then said seriously.
"I hate it, you bullied me, sooner or later I will get revenge back!" Zhu Rong said a little annoyed, but seeing that Zhu Xiaobao was now pretending to be serious, she still couldn't help but want to laugh!
Coming out of the room, Zhu Xiaobao summoned the others to discuss together. At this time, Zhu Rong's face was still a little red, but her expression was calm, trying not to let others notice her weakness!
"You're saying we can mix in with your guards and go to the arena together? Then you can meet Yu Qianrou? Duanmuqi looked at the invitation letter that Zhu Rong had shown, which was sent by the Northern Zirui Kingdom to the Vermilion Bird Clan.
"Nope! In that case, I wouldn't have to come in person! Zhu Rong shook her head and said, involuntarily glancing at Zhu Xiaobao! Words from the heart: You don't have to be bullied by this bastard!
"Oh! As I expected, this 'King of England' has a great influence on you! Duanmuqi nodded and smiled.
"Yes! Now the most promising person to become the 'King of England' is Li Yuanwu, their family is also the largest family in Zirui Country, and they are also the concubines of the second princess! I don't want him to be the 'King of England', because this is the area under the jurisdiction of the King of England!" Once he becomes the 'King of England', it will be very bad for us Suzaku clan! Zhu Rong said a little worriedly.
"You don't want me to fight for this 'King of England', do you?" Zhu Xiaobao asked in surprise.
"I guess you're not Li Yuanwu's opponent yet! His martial arts are already at the pinnacle of the Great Martial Artist's realm, I only hope that you can recognize Yu Qianrou before their martial arts competition begins, and then stop this matter! Zhu Rong glanced at Zhu Xiaobao before she said what she thought.
"This time, there are only two competing for the 'British king'? Can't anyone else compete? Duanmuqi was still thoughtful, and after reading the invitation letter to the Suzaku clan, he suddenly asked, because the invitation did not say that only these two families were vying for the king!
"Of course not! However, the other families do not have this strength, so these two families are fighting! But Li Yuanwu's odds of winning are higher! Zhu Rong shook her head and said.
"Got it! Well, we'll start tomorrow! Make a beeline for the Imperial City! Duanmuqi smiled confidently. The opportunity has arisen!
