Chapter 54, The Closest Ones
"What a coincidence!" Xiao Che obviously didn't want to believe Xiao Yici's statement, but he was helpless.
Suddenly remembering something, Ning Wu said with a smile: "I heard that Second Prince Xiao specially invited the Red Demon Girl from the Red Mansion to come to tonight's dinner, so you have to enjoy it when the time comes!" ”
It's okay not to mention this, but as soon as he mentions it, Xiao Che is angry, he always feels that Ning Wu is deliberate.
Originally, he planned to use this time difference to verify his guess, but he didn't expect Emperor Song to let him cancel the performance of the Red Demon, which he never expected.
With a sneer, Xiao Che spoke: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the group leader, the Red Demon Girl happens to be unwell and can't come." ”
This is naturally an excuse, in this regard, Ning Wu just smiled, but did not continue to ask, after all, she has to be forgiving and forgiving, she doesn't want to provoke Xiao Che.
It didn't take long for the palace banquet to begin, and the voice of the eunuch came from not far away.
"The emperor has arrived, the concubine has arrived, and Xiao Jieyu has arrived."
Everyone present knelt down one by one and saluted.
After walking all the way to the high place, Emperor Song waved his hand and said with a smile: "Tonight is a special dinner for Prince Xianbei and the group leader, you don't have to be stubborn." ”
Obviously in a good mood.
After each of them sat down, it was a coincidence that Ning Wu's left was just Feng Qi, and on the right was Xiao Yici, this was not the previous way of sitting, Ning Wu didn't know if Emperor Song was planning something.
At this time, a man's deep voice suddenly sounded on the right: "The county lord has to be careful tonight." ”
Could it be that something is really going to happen tonight? It is still related to herself, Ning Wu was slightly shocked in her heart, and turned her head to look over, Xiao Yici had already withdrawn her gaze and did not look at her.
I have to say that the dinner party is really boring, it's just to enjoy singing and dancing, who knows that the county lord Feiyun walked to the center of the hall and saluted respectfully to Emperor Song: "Your Majesty, last time at the bonfire dinner, because of the assassin, Feiyun didn't finish the rest of the competition with the county lord of Ningwu, I don't know if I can continue tonight?" ”
This Feiyun County Lord is really dead-eyed, Ning Wu smiled in his heart, it seems that tonight's competition can't be escaped.
Sure enough, in the face of the Feiyun County Lord's request, Emperor Song naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only smile and say: "Since the county lord has this Yaxing, then Ning Wu, you can finish the next two competitions." ”
I already knew that this would be the result, so Ning Wu was not surprised, just stood up and leaned over slightly: "The courtiers take the order." ”
Emperor Song has spoken, as a small county lord, how dare she disobey?
It's just that she wasn't sure if Xiao Yici's reminder just now was related to the two competitions tonight, so she was a little uneasy in her heart.
"I don't know what the Feiyun County Lord wants to compare in the first game, how to compare?"
Hearing this, the county lord of Feiyun smiled: "That's not simple, first compare arrows and then martial arts, this comparison of arrows is very simple, we put an apple on each other's heads, shoot an arrow at each other, whoever can shoot will win, I don't know if the county lord dares to fight?" ”
I have to say, this Feiyun County Lord really dares to play, if she deliberately misses, then wouldn't she be sent to death in vain?
She would rather not let others slaughter her.
Therefore, she seemed to frown: "County Lord, this proposal is not bad, but I have a better idea, but I don't know if the group leader dares to play?" ”
As soon as he heard that someone was provoking him, the county lord of Feiyun was naturally unwilling, and he didn't listen to what Ning Wu's proposal was, so he said directly: "Naturally, you dare, just say what to do, this county lord has no objection." ”
I had already guessed the Feiyun County Lord's unwillingness to admit defeat, so Ning Wu said with a smile: "The idea I said is a little different from that of the group leader, that is, find the person closest to each other, put an apple on the head, let the other party shoot, and win if you shoot." ”
As soon as he heard this, not only the Feiyun County Lord, but even everyone present was shocked.
"County Lord, do you dare to play?" This is what he wants, Ning Wu struck while the iron was hot and continued to ask.
Under pressure, the county lord of Feiyun had no choice but to stiffen his neck and say, "Why don't you dare? Just do as you say, and I'll send it here, and I'll send ......."
He hesitated to speak, obviously afraid that Prince Xianbei would blame her, but he didn't expect Prince Xianbei to take the initiative to stand up and say: "This prince is Feiyun's own brother, of course this candidate is this prince, of course I won't let it." After speaking, he took the initiative to leave the table and walked to the center of the main hall.
Unexpectedly, my brother didn't blame himself, the county lord of Feiyun had confidence for a while, pointed at Ning Wu and said, "The elder brother of the county lord has already played, what about you?" ”
In fact, Ning Wu had a candidate in her heart, and her gaze crossed the faces of everyone around her, pausing on Xiao Che's face for a moment. In fact, she could have chosen Xiao Che, so maybe if the Feiyun County Lord was not good at swordsmanship, she might be shot to death, but she couldn't do it yet.
So he turned his gaze to the red-clothed man who was only drinking on the side, and smiled: "Ning Wu has only been in the capital for half a year, if you want to talk about this close person, I'm afraid, it is Prince Fengqi." ”
