Chapter 321: The Turmoil Before the Court (Part II)
"His Royal Highness the Prince, all the princes, today coincides with the Dragon Boat Festival, thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince's wrong love, the lower officials can accompany the last seat here, and the three lives are fortunate, and allow the lower officials to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, I salute you a bottle, the lower officials are full of drink, please feel free!"
Ming Chongyan deserves to be known as "the first beautiful man in Chang'an", a few walks to the front of the hall, the action is as chic as flowing clouds, the white clothes are fluttering, it is really like the fairy who walked out of the painting, but seeing his hands raised the wine bottle, he gestured to everyone, and said in a magnetic voice.
"Caritas Qing is polite, this wine is drunk in this palace!"
The prince's interest today is obviously very high, although he has never liked Ming Chongyan very much, but at the moment he doesn't seem to care, he picked up the wine bottle with a smile, and responded casually, he wanted to have a drink with Ming Chongyan.
"Brother Prince, slow down, Doctor Ming said that he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, so there should always be a loan, but I don't know what Doctor Ming plans to pay for?"
The prince's wine bottle was raised, and Li Qian, who was sitting not far from Li Xian's side, stood up with a smile and said with a gag and playful.
"Oh? Brother Qian's words sound reasonable, does Dr. Ming have any explanation? ”
When Li Xian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly smiled, playing with the wine bottle in his hand with one hand, his face was full of jokes, his eyes were squinted, and he asked in a mocking tone.
"This is simple, the prince's brother must have heard of it, it is rumored that Dr. Ming's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, but unfortunately I have been blessed and have never been able to see it, if Dr. Ming can dance the sword and accompany the wine, he will definitely have the hospitality of the prince's brother, what do you think of the prince?"
In the face of Li Xian's ridicule, Ming Chongyan smiled but didn't answer, but Li Qian didn't relentlessly overstep the line, while talking, he didn't forget to wave his hands, encouraging a group of brothers to make a fuss together.
"That's right, Brother Qian's words are very true, I have admired the reputation of Dr. Ming for a long time, if I can see it, I will be lucky to have three lives!"
"Yes, Brother Qian's words are very kind, and please ask Dr. Ming to dance!"
"That's right, if you can see Doctor Ming's sword skills, you should be able to float a lot!"
……
As soon as Li Qian's voice fell, everyone and others all clamored, and the atmosphere could be said to be extremely lively, but Ming Chongyan was not moved, still holding the wine bottle, standing indifferently in the hall, looking at Li Xian with a smile, waiting for his speech.
"Hmm."
The crown prince Li Xian smiled and let the crowd wait for a while, then raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet, and then looked at Ming Chongyan with interest, and said with a smile: "Carita Aiqing's swordsmanship has long been heard, and it is a pity to save the fate. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, and the lower officials dare not disobey, however, the solo dance is boring, and the lower officials' swords are fast, if there is no reference, but it is just a floating light and a shadow, but there is nothing to be seen, which really makes the lower officials embarrassed." Ming Chongyan did not directly refuse Li Xian's request, but put forward a condition euphemistically.
"This ......"
As soon as he heard this, Li Xian's face immediately showed a look of embarrassment, as if he didn't know how to respond, but it was a pity that the eyes that he inadvertently slipped towards Li Xian revealed his details.
"Brother Prince, what is so difficult, don't you know the courage of Brother Yingwang, the younger brother has been taught, only one knife, the younger brother will be defeated, the poor little brother has also practiced knives for more than ten years, met Brother Yingwang, but there is no temper at all, if Brother Ying and Doctor Ming meet, the sword is unique, I will have a blessing today!" didn't wait for Li Xian to come up with a reason, but saw Li Wen slap his thigh and shouted with excitement.
"That's right, Brother Ying is the overlord of the sword, and Doctor Ming is a master of the sword, this sword meeting must be wonderful, a good idea!"
"Well, that's the reason!"
"Brother Prince, the younger brother thinks what Brother Wen said is very true, so you gave the order!"
……
The crowd of people are all lively young people, they all want to open their eyes, and they are all afraid that the world will not be chaotic and shouting, that is, even Li Xulun, who has always been silent, followed him, and there was a lot of noise in the hall.
"This ......, well, seventh brother, look at this ......"
Li Xian obviously didn't dare to really help Li Xian make the decision, and in the hustle and bustle, he looked sideways at Li Xian, his face full of embarrassment, but the eagerness in his eyes obviously couldn't be hidden.
A group of bastards, dare to love is really waiting for Lao Tzu here, hey, it's so calculating! Li Xian has always sat silently and stood still, but everyone's performance is all in full view, how can it not be clear that this is just a game, to put it bluntly, it is not a big deal - you Li Xian is not known as the "prince of the soldiers", and has always been famous for the brave crown of the three armies, then it is naturally a character who cannot be defeated, once defeated, the consequences are not just as simple as the loss of reputation, under the control of all forces, it is not very difficult to discredit Li Xian - the strongest martial arts are not good, Then the rest is even more conceivable. A series of public opinion offensives coupled with the blows of various shady means are enough for Li Xian to drink a pot of life, even if he can relieve his breath, he will definitely be greatly injured, although this method is very clumsy, but it is very practical!
"Seventh brother, come on, little brother cheers for you!"
Facing Li Xian's pretended embarrassed expression, Li Xian wanted to reach out and give him a slap, but he couldn't do it if he wanted to think about it, of course, Li Xian didn't plan to obey the will of these bastards so easily, and drank the wine unhurriedly, as if he hadn't heard Li Xian's question, he was so silent, Li Xian had a ghost in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, but Li Xulun, who was sitting next to Li Xian, was energetic, waving his little fist, and roared excitedly.
"His Royal Highness the King of England, Xia Guan has long heard that His Royal Highness's sword skills are superior in the world, and he has already had the heart to ask for advice, but he has not been able to do it, and today coincides with his meeting, why don't you take advantage of it, and ask Your Highness to give advice!"
Li Xian's body was full of anger, he was so silent, the hustle and bustle of the crowd gradually stopped, and no one dared to speak again, but Ming Chongyan didn't care about Li Xian's silence, held the wine bottle with a smile, bowed slightly to Li Xian, and directly challenged Li Xian, and completely forced Li Xian into the corner with one sentence.
"Doctor Ming is polite, he doesn't dare to give instructions, the sword has no eyes, if he hurts Doctor Ming, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to my father and mother."
Now, the war is inevitable, and Li Xian naturally will not let go of the opportunity to stimulate Ming Chongyan, so he spread his hands and said a word in embarrassment.
"It's okay, the subordinates have their own proportions, and they will not hurt His Highness, but they are just laughing."
Ming Chongyan has always been arrogant, and he refused to fall in momentum as soon as he came up, which led to Li Xian's words.
"If you talk about skills, it is a matter between warriors, and there is no need to mention the words of His Highness and the lower officials, since Brother Ming insists on fighting, he will accompany him alone." Li Xian glanced at Ming Chongyan coldly, and said indifferently, and immediately, no matter how Ming Chongyan reacted, he arched his hand at Li Xianyi, who pretended to be full of worry: "Brother Prince, the younger brother borrowed his brother's venue today to play with Brother Ming, and it was good to entertain during the banquet, and I also asked Brother Prince to complete it." ”
"Ah, this, this ......, no matter what, the seventh brother, please be careful, cheer for the seventh brother for the brother!"
Li Xian stammered twice in embarrassment, but he quickly agreed to Li Xian's request, and his impatient eating was really difficult to see.
"This guy can't even act in a play, I really don't know how long Lao Tzu can stand up if he is an official, he is really a waste! Li Xian was too lazy to be as knowledgeable as Li Xian, and despised him fiercely in his heart, but his face was calm, and he thanked him: "Thank you Brother Prince, and ask Brother Prince to prepare knives and swords for his younger brother and Brother Ming." ”
"Okay, good, come on, get on the sword!"
Facing Li Xian's extremely calm face, a trace of guilt flashed on Li Xian's face, but there was only a trace of it, even though it was completely annihilated in the endless excitement, he shouted with a trembling voice, and several of the little eunuchs who were accompanying him sent a standard horizontal knife and a three-foot Qingfeng sword to Li Xian and Ming Chongyan respectively.
"Boom!"
Ming Chongyan is a great enemy, Li Xianzi did not dare to take it lightly, and he didn't care what others thought, his hand shook, and he had already pulled the knife out of the sheath, and if no one was around, he checked it carefully, and saw that there was nothing wrong with the knife, so he returned the knife into the sheath, stood up, and looked around at all the people in the hall, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and where his eyes passed, everyone lowered their heads unconsciously, and no one had the courage to look at Li Xian.
"Brother Prince, although this is a skill, but the sword has no eyes after all, the banquet is narrow, if there is a mistake, it will be very inappropriate, according to the younger brother, if you move outside the palace, the younger brother can also accompany Doctor Ming to have a good time, and ask the prince's brother to complete."
Li Xian's gaze finally fell on Li Xian's body, and he saw that he was flustered, but Li Xian didn't intend to make Li Xian make a fool of himself, so he made a request with a smile indifferently.
"Okay, good, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, for my brother, there's no objection for my brother."
Li Xian was really afraid of Li Xian in his heart, his heart was so weak at this time, and his speech was inevitably unclear, but the meaning was expressed in the end.
"Brother Ming, please!"
Since it was a battle, Li Xian didn't want to waste his tongue anymore, and after waving his hand to signal, he didn't pay attention to Ming Chongyan's return gift, and strode towards the outside of the hall......
