The long lance removed the pointed end and wrapped it in a thick cloth, Zhang Shiqing still talked and laughed with his companions after getting on the horse, but Tang Weitian on the opposite side did not laugh, but complained: "A wooden stick, what kind of martial arts competition?" ”

Everyone else should be lively, but Xu Ji was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly walked over, wanting to remind Tang Weitian to act lightly.

A large group of soldiers ran ahead, blocking Xu Ji from the periphery of the field.

Although Xu Ji was a "distinguished guest", after all, he was only a guest, and he did not get the power to take charge of the army, so he could not order everyone to give way, and he was unwilling to do so, so he had to raise his arms high and shout Tang Weitian's name.

When Tang Weitian heard his name, he nodded with a smile, and replied with a word, Xu Ji couldn't hear it clearly.

The two horses charged, everyone cheered, Xu Ji stopped to watch, only to see the two horses staggered, making a muffled sound, followed by everyone exclaimed.

The contest only took one round to determine the winner and loser, Tang Weitian turned around the horse, his face was a little confused, dozens of steps away from him, only the horses remained, he looked for a while, only to see the opponent's figure on the ground.

"You killed the princess!" Several female soldiers shrieked.

"I didn't use all my strength, I thought she could withstand ......," Tang explained blankly.

Xu Ji squeezed through the crowd, pushed aside the few female soldiers who had already surrounded him, knelt on the ground and wiped his nose first, and found that he was still breathing, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Go and call Lang Zhong." ”

A Lang Zhong quickly arrived, and after a little inspection, he said: "I broke a rib and passed out, it should be fine." ”

Lang Zhong bandaged it briefly and asked the female soldier to carry the princess back to the tent to rest.

Tang Weitian came on horseback, and someone accused him of being too heavy, Tang Weitian couldn't help but be furious, "I didn't use all my strength!" And this is a competition, not a joke, is it possible for me to win the battle? Childe, you judge. ”

"General Tang is right, let's disperse." Xu Jidao.

Everyone left, Tang Weitian stayed, and defended again: "It was she who challenged me ......"

"I understand." Xu Ji smiled reluctantly.

"Looking at her appearance, I thought she was so powerful, I will never compete with women in the future, do all the girls of the Zhang family like to lie?"

"She doesn't know how good you are."

Tang Weitian nodded, "Come to think of it, this time she knows." Then I'm leaving, Childe won't blame me, right? ”

"Don't complain."

Tang Weitian breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked away, his steps were brisk, he didn't care about the opponent's injury, he only cared about whether Gongzi was angry because of this.

Xu Ji came to Zhang Shi to clear the tent and was stopped by two female soldiers, one of whom said, "You brought that person?" ”

"Yes."

"You don't talk about him, it's not light or heavy."

"He's a general, I'm a guest, I can't say anything about him. The two are ......"

"We are the guards sent by the Golden Saintess to the princess, you don't remember us, we remember you, you abandoned the Golden Saintess in the Eastern Capital, why are you here now?"

Xu Ji was about to answer, when a cry of pain came from the tent, and he broke in directly, and the two female soldiers followed behind him without stopping him.

Zhang Shi woke up, and the other two female soldiers had already removed her armor and redressed her wounds.

"I ...... This is...... Did I lose? Zhang Shiqing asked.

"The princess didn't notice it for a while, and was attacked by Tang Weitian." A female soldier said.

Zhang Shiqing saw Xu Ji, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Take a look."

Zhang Shiqing looked away, and the two female soldiers guarding the door said: "The Golden Holy Maiden has issued a strict order, no man is allowed to approach the female soldier's residence, let alone the princess's bedroom, Xu Gongzi should please leave, the princess is healed, and we will notify you." ”

Xu Ji hummed and turned around to go, but Zhang Shiqing whispered, "Let him stay." ”

Xu Ji stopped, the four female soldiers looked at each other, one leaned over and whispered in the princess's ear, Zhang Shiqing hummed, the two female soldiers who served her got up and left with the female soldiers guarding the door, and when they passed by Xu Ji's side, they cast a warning look at him.

The tent here is similar to that of He Rongren, there are no bunks, but thick felt carpets are stacked, and Xu Ji kneels on the felt carpet, looking at the black but somewhat pale little face.

"Am I a fool?" Zhang Shiqing asked.

Xu Ji shook his head.

"I thought I was very good, but it turned out to be ...... Are you laughing at me? ”

Xu Ji still shook his head.

"The person who lost to me before actually deliberately let me, didn't he?"

Xu Ji nodded.

"Can't you say something?"

"I don't know what about the others, among all the generals I have seen and heard of, Tang Weitian can be called the first in the world, and no one has been his opponent so far."

A smile appeared on Zhang Shiqing's face, and he immediately showed a painful face, "But there are few people who are as arrogant as me, but they can't hold on even for a round." ”

Xu Ji thought for a while, "Well, you are very arrogant. ”

Zhang Shiqing's face sank, "You still can't speak as before, you go, I don't want to see you, this is a women's camp, don't let you go." ”

"It's fine if you're okay."

As soon as Xu Ji got up, Zhang Shiqing exhaled another half of the pain, and held back the second half of the sound, unable to turn around, so he had to turn his face.

Xu Ji sat down again and said, "You are very arrogant, but everyone likes your arrogance. ”

Zhang Shiqing didn't think it was a good word, his face was gloomy again, he endured the pain, refused to speak, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from his forehead.

Xu Ji picked up the silk cloth next to him and gently wiped the beads of sweat from her, "You have great courage, you dare to challenge Tang Weitian, dare to disobey your father's order to escape from the way to send your relatives, and even dare to write the 'Hufu Book'." ”

"Do you remember that?" Zhang Shiqing was still annoyed.

"I can't forget, because someone imitated you not long ago."

"Huh?"

Xu Ji briefly told the deeds of the three daughters of King Yidu.

"They're pretending."

"That's also learning from you, and the second lady of Tie told me personally that the three sisters envy and admire you for daring to run away from marriage."

Zhang Shiqing finally showed a smile on his face, "Second Lady Tie...... It's better to call Zhang Shisheng, they are really forced to marry? ”

"The king of Yidu was killed, they were controlled by the minister Che wholeheartedly, hidden in the people, and when the king of Shu entered the benefit, Che wholeheartedly offered the princess and daughter for glory, presumably they would not ask for their permission."

The smile on Zhang Shiqing's face was a little more.

"The two generals of the Shu King and the Tie family are both dragons and phoenixes among the people, and the third daughter of the King of Yidu is doing well, and she does not regret marrying, otherwise she would not have designed to save her."

"That's also forced marriage."

"Hmm." Xu Ji smiled and nodded.

"Let them know that I have lost so badly, and they will definitely laugh at me."

"No, they don't even have the guts to challenge, how dare they laugh at you?"

"Perhaps. General Tang ...... No one embarrasses him, right? It's all me, not him. ”

"Tang Weitian has a lance in his hand, and no one dares to embarrass him."

Zhang Shiqing snorted, revealing obvious tiredness.

Xu Ji got up and said, "You can sleep for a while." ”

"Are you leaving?" Zhang Shiqing's tone was a little disappointed.

Xu Ji thought for a while, "I'll deal with some things and come back soon." ”

"Well, come here. I'm hurt, you should stay with me. ”

"Yes." Xu Ji said with a smile.

As soon as Xu Ji walked out of the women's camp, Tang Weitian stopped him head-on, "Childe took me in, and I apologize to the princess." ”

Xu Ji was stunned, "Why do you want to apologize?" ”

"I'm hurting her."

"It is inevitable that someone will be injured in the competition, if you do this, you have to apologize, just ban the competition."

Tang Weitian blurted out: "I said the same thing, but they said ......"

"Say what? Says who? ”

Tang Weitian scratched his head embarrassedly, "Everyone said that I didn't know the severity of my shot, that the princess was the beloved wife of the prince, and that she didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha." If I think about it carefully, I'm right, since they are both the wives of the son, I should respect the princess as much as I do to the Golden Holy Maiden. ”

"The princess has forgiven you, and has specially instructed me not to embarrass anyone for you."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Haha, then I'm relieved. Although they are all Zhang's daughters, the princess is much better than the three in Yizhou, and the son still has vision. ”

Xu Ji returned to his tent, felt that he couldn't wait any longer, wrote a letter by himself, sent someone to Liangzhou, handed the letter to the Golden Holy Maiden, and then went to visit Tan Wuwu.

Tan Wuwu had woken up and was sitting there in a daze, looking up at Xu Ji blankly, "I can't remember a little, did you agree with Lord Yin about the strategy I said at that time?" ”

"Nope."

"Oh, even the fourth brother feels risky."

"This is not my army, and I am not qualified to risk the whole army. I believe that He Rongren's army is unstable, but the morale here is not high, and the troops are divided to encircle and annihilate, I am afraid that our army will break and flee first. ”

"I see, it's like a hungry beggar who just wants to have a meal to eat, but I want to teach him how to make a lot of money, which is ridiculous."

"Second brother, don't worry, Lord Yin is cautious, the Golden Holy Maiden may be willing to take risks, I have asked her to come back as soon as possible and discuss the plan."

"Hmm." Tan Wuxian was not in high spirits, stroked the long sword, fell down and fell asleep.

Xu Ji came to visit Zhang Shiqing again, but this time he was not stopped and interrogated by the female soldiers.

Zhang Shiqing was sleeping, but as soon as Xu Ji came in, she opened her eyes and smiled.

The two female soldiers exited the tent in amusement.

"How long have you been gone?"

"About two quarters of an hour."

"I feel like it's two hours."

"It didn't take long, it was just dark."

"No wonder the candles are lit. I'm a little thirsty. ”

Food and water were placed nearby, and Xu Ji sat next to Zhang Shiqing, holding one hand behind his head and bringing water with the other.

Zhang Shiqing only took a small sip, refusing to close his eyes to rest, he was hungry for a while, he wanted to move, he felt his scalp itchy for a while, and he wanted to look at his knife for a while...... kept supporting Xu Ji, as if the two female soldiers before him would not do anything.

As the night deepened, Xu Ji cut the wick a few times and persuaded: "You have just been injured, you should rest more." ”

Zhang Shiqing yawned, but refused to close his eyes, "As soon as I fall asleep, are you leaving?" ”

"This is the ...... of the women's camp"

"If the Golden Saintess is injured, you don't have to leave, do you?"

Xu Ji was speechless.

"You've come here to reunite with the Golden Holy Maiden, go find her."

Xu Ji sighed lightly, "Silly girl......"

"I'm not stupid."

"The Golden Holy Maiden asked you to come back and ask me about something, you still don't understand?"

"But ......"

Xu Ji held one of her hands and said softly, "Sleep well, don't worry about anything." ”

"Don't really worry?"

"No, you don't."

"I believe in you." Zhang Shiqing smiled, finally closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Xu Ji waited for a while, let go of her hand, quietly walked out of the tent, bowed goodbye to the female soldier, and whispered, "I'll come back tomorrow." ”

As soon as Xu Ji returned to his tent, a guard sent a letter, "General Tan left it, he said that he had an urgent matter, so he would not say goodbye to Mr. Xu." ”
