The Eighth Prince, Ji Qian, lost a polo match and won a real contest, and he had nothing to lose. But his expression was very gloomy, and he left the arrogance without saying hello to everyone. The noble children and daughters who were invited to the school by him could only say goodbye to Ji Qingchen and other princes in embarrassment, and left the school in a hurry.

Wei Ran and Cui Yingying, who were among the female dependents, said goodbye to Ji Qingchen after staying in the most beautiful place.

Cui Yingying stepped forward to salute Ji Qingchen and whispered, "It is the blessing of Yingying to be fortunate to meet His Highness today, and Yingying also invites His Royal Highness Nine to come when he has a poetry meeting!" When she speaks, her voice is warm and delicate, melodious, elegant, generous and decent, and vividly and delicately shows the cultivation of a woman from a big family.

Cui Yingying's poetry meeting is a kind of private gathering popular in the circle of princes and nobles of King's Landing, organized by the Seven Great Families, and the time is about the end of the month after the end of the imperial examination of the year. Even if Ji Qingchen, who had not been in King's Landing for a long time, had not participated in this kind of poetry meeting, he had heard others say that Zhiludao participated in the poetry meeting because of the outstanding Chinese of the princes and nobles, and he was the new scientific scholars who entered the imperial examination. Thinking about it, if he was able to participate in such a poetry meeting, he might meet a talented person, so he smiled and said, "How can Miss Cui refuse to invite Qingchen?" Please rest assured that Miss Cui will come to the poetry meeting to see the grand occasion at that time. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness Xie Jiu!" Cui Yingying bowed, said goodbye, and left slowly.

When she walked away, Wei Ran stepped forward, "His Royal Highness the Ninth is magnanimous, and he will not be held accountable for the crimes committed by Xiaobi that day, Wei Ran has nothing to repay, and wants to set up a banquet in the mansion to make amends to His Highness, I wonder if His Royal Highness Lu Dao can appreciate the light?" ”

At this time, Ji Qingchen already knew the identity of the girl in front of him, Wei Ran was one of the seven great families of Dayan, the granddaughter of the patriarch of the Wei clan in Shangzhou, and the sister of the crown princess, he had already discussed with Gu Qi that he wanted to strengthen himself with the help of Wei's strength, and he had already wanted to get to know the Wei family of Shangzhou, but he was suffering from the lack of a proper time and opportunity, and now Wei Ran personally invited him, he was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately replied, "It is a blessing for Qingchen to be invited by Miss Wei, please rest assured Miss Wei, When the time comes, if you have time, Qingchen will definitely go to the banquet on time. ”

"Then Wei Ran congratulates His Highness on his great success!" Wei Ran said in a calm tone. said goodbye to Ji Qingchen again, and slowly left the school with Xiaobi.

The two daughters left in turn, and the princes stepped forward to say goodbye to Ji Qingchen.

The fourth prince said with a smile, "Ninth brother, you are a peach blossom today!" Two of the top ten beauties of our Dayan secretly promise you, which really makes the fourth brother envious and jealous! ”

When he said that, he was amazed, and he looked envious and jealous.

"It's really weird! Cui Yingying and Wei Ran have always been as cold as frost, and they are cold to the man who loves them the most, how can the two of them be so enthusiastic about the ninth brother today? The second prince Ji Ping also sighed, he looked puzzled, but if you observe him carefully, you will find that there is a faint jealousy between his eyebrows.

The third prince, Ji Hongchang, didn't say anything, just bowed his hand to everyone and left the school grounds.

The other Seven Princes followed the Fourth Prince Ji Wen, and the Sixth Prince and the Fifth Prince followed the Second Prince Ji Ping and left the school.

Only Ji Qingchen, who was a little puzzled after listening to what the second prince Ji Ping and the fourth prince Ji Wen said, and a group of soldiers who were crawling on the ground, already covered with injuries and seriously overdrawn, were left on the huge school field.

Regarding Wei Ran's invitation, he can explain it clearly.

Regarding Cui Yingying's invitation, he did not guess the true intention of the dialogue.

In the evening, in the luxurious private room where the sky was drunk, Bai Xiangcheng, Li Changzheng, Wang Yin, Liu Qingqing, Hou Xiaotian, Yang Zhixing, Zuo Zongquan, Cao Yukun, Zhou Shun, and Lin Ping were surrounding Ji Qingchen and talking about wine. Among them, there are Guo Quan, who sat down, and Zhang Rang, who has been standing quietly beside Ji Qingchen. This is Ji Qingchen's promise to win this polo match. However, except for Bai Xiangcheng and Guo Quan, the other nine people at the banquet were a little restrained. After all, they had seen Ji Qingchen's ruthlessness, and they didn't dare to be too presumptuous. In particular, Li Changzheng and Wang Yin were taught a lesson by Ji Qingchen, once they were bitten by a snake for three years and were afraid of the well rope, don't look at Li Changzheng's courage on the school field today, but he was a little trembling when facing Ji Qingchen.

Ji Qingchen on the table had already discovered this subtle atmosphere! It's just that he hasn't done anything to lift this special atmosphere. It wasn't until Bai Xiangcheng raised his glass to toast him that he raised his glass and said in a calm tone, "Everyone, today's battle is just the beginning of the journey of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and there are more cruel enemies waiting for us in the future. I want to salute all of you for this glass of wine, and I hope that no matter what time it is, you will be like today, and you will be an iron-clad soldier. ”

"There are only standing dead ghosts in the Xiao Riding Camp, and there are no kneeling dogs! —" he said in a loud voice.

"Dry ——!" Everyone raised their glasses and said.

With Bai Xiangcheng's leading toast, Li Changzheng and Wang Yin and others at the banquet were not exempt from vulgarity, so they began to toast Ji Qingchen in turn. As early as when he left the country, Ji Qingchen followed Li Qingyi to drink the spirits of leaving the country, the amount of wine was extremely large, and he was not afraid of the toast of everyone, he was not afraid of the people who came, he drank a few glasses of wine, and talked freely, and everyone realized that His Royal Highness the Ninth was not as they imagined, but a ruthless lord, which made them let go of the restraints on their bodies just now, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.

When the wine was drunk, Bai Xiangcheng raised his glass and whispered:

The beacon fire shines on Xijing, and I feel uneven in my heart.

……

Rather be a centurion than a scholar.

It was the song "From the Army" given to him by Ji Qingchen.

Rather be a centurion than a scholar. This is a true portrayal of most of the children of the family themselves, many of them do not like the book to the poetry and songs, but they are quite fond of the bow and horse salvo, which makes the triennial imperial examination, many of the children of the family can only fall to Sun Shan, and give up the position of a list of Jinshi to the children of the poor family, and can only mix a qualification through enlistment, and then enter the office through the strength of the family.

And now Bai Xiangcheng's sentence "Rather be a centurion, than a scholar." "Said their hearts, they were like waiting for thousands of years for an old demon to meet a confidant, wine for a thousand cups of confidant, followed Bai Xiangcheng began to chant loudly, the sound shook the sky drunk.

During the conversation, Guo persuaded Ji Qingchen to call him the ninth brother, which attracted the attention of Li Changzheng on the side. The last time they were in Ji Qingchen's house, Guo persuaded them to call Ji Qingchen the ninth brother, at that time their future was uncertain, so they naturally didn't dare to ask about the relationship between the two, and now they don't have the fear and worry at that time, and they found that Ji Qingchen is not a difficult person to get along with, plus he drank and was already dizzy, Li Changzheng boldly asked, "Why does Guo Quan's call His Royal Highness the ninth brother?" ”

Guo Quan moved his gaze to Ji Qingchen, and seeing that the other party just smiled and nodded, he simply explained the process when Ji Qingchen wanted to treat him as a brother.

After listening to Guo Quan's explanation, everyone was moved!

Because we are all men, the brotherhood between men, the pride of living and dying together in blood, this is something that is naturally dissolved in the blood, and it is innate.

Now they suddenly discovered that His Royal Highness the Nine, who was usually quite harsh and approachable at the banquet, was such a person who valued love and righteousness, and suddenly his blood surged.

And because they are drunk men, the artificiality of the wine worm shows the side of a man who is not afraid of the sky and the earth after being drunk, Li Changzheng suddenly stood up inexplicably, and knelt in front of Ji Qingchen inexplicably, "Your Highness the Nine!" In the past, Li Changzheng did evil in King's Landing City, bullying men and women, and only when he met His Royal Highness did he change his life, and he was sent to the army by his grandfather, and there is a change today. His Royal Highness is the light on the road of Li Changzheng's life. Rather be a centurion than a scholar. Let Li Changzheng find his faith and goal. In the future, if His Highness does not give up, Long March is willing to fight for His Highness like a brother. ”

Li Changzheng's voice was not loud, but his words were deafening.

Not only were everyone at the banquet blinded all of a sudden, but even Ji Qingchen himself was unexpected.

However, Ji Qingchen is very person, he just understood the meaning of Li Changzheng's words after being stunned, he did not deliberately hide the joy in his heart, but was very excited to help Li Changzheng up, "Li Changzheng, if you can say this sentence like a gentleman today, it means that you are a straightforward and frank person." You are worthy of being my brother to Ji Qingchen. You brother, I'm a light duster! ”

"Thank you, Brother Jiu!" The excitement in Li Changzheng's heart was beyond words, but he was stunned and suppressed the joy in his heart, and said loudly, "The sky is proof, today Li Changzheng swears that no matter what the ninth brother does in the future, Li Changzheng will follow him to the death!" ”

Hearing Li Changzheng's iron-clad heroic oath, everyone at the banquet came back to their senses, and then Wang Yin knelt down again, "In the future, if His Royal Highness does not give up, Wang Yin is willing to fight for His Highness the world like a brother." ”

"In the future, if His Highness does not give up, Liu Qingqing is willing to fight for His Highness like a brother."

"In the future, if His Royal Highness does not give up, Hou Xiaotian is willing to fight for His Highness like a brother."

"In the future, if His Royal Highness does not give up, Yang Zhixing is willing to fight for His Highness like a brother."

"In the future, if His Royal Highness does not give up, Zuo Zongquan is willing to fight for His Highness the world like a brother."

……

After Wang Yin, Liu Qingqing, Hou Xiaotian, Yang Zhixing, Zuo Zongquan, Cao Yukun, Zhou Shun, and Lin Ping knelt down at one time, expressed their thoughts to Ji Qingchen, and swore to the sky like Li Changzheng, saying that they would swear to die Ji Qingchen by Ji Qingchen's side.

A simple banquet will develop to a step like now, kowtow to the handle, it is a matter of Ji Qingchen is used to seeing big scenes, and he has long practiced a pampered and humiliated attitude, Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, he was also moved by everyone's oath, he said in a choked tone, "Brothers, I, Ji Qingchen, swear to the sky, as long as I can live for one day, I will never fail you!" ”

"Ninth Brother—"

"Ninth Brother—"

……

Hearing Ji Qingchen's oath, it was like a nail that knocked into the hearts of Li Changzheng, Wang Yin and other nine people who were kneeling on the ground.

Let Ji Qingchen listen to it with a burning heart!
