Chapter 17: The Emperor Makes a Move 1
There is also the last competition in the primary election of the five-year general election, and it is also a martial arts competition that has been added since this time. The ladies also have to stay in Fengyi Palace for one night, and after the martial arts competition is over tomorrow, they can go home and wait for the final match after the sweet potato country comes.
"Sister, we haven't reported for the martial arts competition tomorrow, we will cheer you on in the back." Bai Wan'er has really become a little fan of Poplar, and she said in admiration.
"Yes, Sister Bai, how did you get to live with us?" Huang Rong asked at this time.
"What's that? My sister and I are both from the White Palace, so of course we are going to live together. Bai Wan'er said as a matter of course.
Bai Yang smiled and didn't answer, in fact, she couldn't understand why she didn't go over to live with the ladies who had signed up for the martial arts competition. But it is impossible because he and Bai Wan'er are from the same house. If there is no other reason, it is because there is a secret passage in this side hall. Didn't the queen think of this beforehand? Or is she sure that the emperor will not be so shameless. Whatever the reason, you'll always know later. The old emperor didn't get a bargain here, so it is estimated that he will make a move during the martial arts competition tomorrow.
The next day, the competition was relatively late, and it is said that after the dispersal of the dynasty, all civil and military officials who were willing to observe could participate. The location of the competition is no longer in Fengyi Palace, but outside the main hall of the palace. Bai Yang couldn't help but think that in Fengyi Palace, the prince and the princess first looked at each other. This time, I looked at my daughter-in-law. If there are a few more shameless fathers, it will not only be the emperor's backyard that will be messed up.
There are a total of 10 young ladies participating in the martial arts competition, and those 9 young ladies all live in a side hall. Only Poplar was not part of them. It was only then that Poplar learned the answer. There are a total of six masters among the nine young ladies, the old man of the green mountain, the monk of Wolong, the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, the hermit hero, the lady of the red cherry blossoms, and the Venerable of the Temple. Three of the nine young ladies are sisters. It's still that old woman, every time she reports the name of a warrior, there is a burst of praise below. Even the nine young ladies who are apprentices are all arrogant and full of superiority. Finally, it was Poplar's turn, the old lady asked with a smile.
"Miss Bai, when the White Palace's report to you was informed, there was no such item. Now you also have to tell what school and faction you are studying under before you can participate in the martial arts competition. ”
"Old Mama, Miss Ben has been begging for food and living before this, and she has not returned to live in the family after recognizing her ancestors and returning to her ancestors. Daddy doesn't know, this is normal. Miss Ben thought that the martial arts competition was a disciple and not a master. Even if the master is a master in the world, the apprentice is not good at learning. ”
"The eldest lady of the White Palace's words are bad, and the teacher can't participate in this competition if she has no way. I heard that Miss Bai's martial arts are first-class, and she must be studying under a master. Why don't you speak up and open our eyes. The old lady did not speak, and a eunuch stood up and spoke. Poplar had already seen it, and the shameless emperor who was sitting at the front and middle of the observation seat. This old eunuch has been standing behind the emperor, presumably this is the emperor's spokesperson.
"If Miss Ben says that she is a master, you will not only open your eyes, but I am afraid that you will be shocked. Bai Yang studied under the beggar gang leader Hong Qigong, and his uncle was the poisonous demon Ouyang Feng. "Poplar is calmly talking nonsense, even if someone knows that they have heard of a master in their previous life, they have no way to find it.
"You are talking nonsense, I have never heard of these two people in the rivers and lakes." Bai Huan'er, the apprentice of the old man Qingshan, stood up and said, this Bai Huan'er Bai Yang heard Bai Wan'er say. She is a young lady in the side branch of the Bai family, and she doesn't move around much with the Bai Wangfu. It's just that I heard that I've been learning martial arts outside, and I only went down the mountain to participate in the five-year general election.
"Miss Bai Huan'er, can you tell me clearly how big the rivers and lakes are? There are as many things you haven't heard of as the fish in the river. We are all apprentices who inherit the master's skills, does the competition between us have anything to do with whether you have heard of it or not? Poplar said disdainfully.
"Miss Bai, my master has never said that there are beggars and helpers. As for the poison demon, I haven't heard of it, but there is a sole respect, but it is only the dragon that sees the head but does not see the end. Miss Nian Yu, the apprentice of the Hidden Hero, said with a smile. Bai Yang was not disgusted with this Miss Nian Yu, so he replied with a smile.
"Miss Nian Yu, my master and uncle have been in seclusion for many years. The world is big and lives on one side, and they are not brave and ruthless people, so it's normal that they haven't heard of each other. As for the beggars, why can't they have a helper? There are so many people begging for food in the world, and someone organizing them also gives them an extra way to live. ”
"Nonsense, for the young lady who is on the general election list, the court has strictly scrutinized you. You've been begging for food, and after that resurrection, you've had a lot more skills. Now that two more masters have been made, how credible are your words? The old eunuch asked.
"Father-in-law, could it be that you have also begged for food? How can we be so familiar with begging? Miss Ben traveled all over the capital while begging for food, and was sent to a ravine during the last five-year general election. Do you know any adventures? Poplar also asked rhetorically.
"Miss Bai, don't quibble. Where did you meet your master and uncle? Why don't you know what you're begging with? ”
"It's right if they don't know, if they all know, wouldn't they all go to the Hades Palace and walk around. If Miss Ben knew that she could come back after going to the Hades Palace, she would have organized a group to go. At least I can have a few helpers now, so I don't have to be a single gang leader. Poplar said with a smile, and the listener also felt a cold sweat on his back.
"Pretending to be a god again, who can come back when they reach the Hades Palace? Did you meet your master and uncle in the palace of Hades? This time it was the prince who couldn't hold back his words.
"It's still the prince's cleverness, and everyone in the capital knows that Miss Ben is in great trouble. Bai Yang learned a skill from his master and uncle in the Hades Palace, and after waking up, he was reborn. Miss Ben has already told the prince about this. Poplar looked at the prince like a fool and said.
"Miss Bai, it only took two days from the time you were kicked to death on the street to the time you came back to the capital. In two days, you will be able to learn martial arts and the ability to detoxify poison. Who believes it? The queen couldn't help but sneer. really responded to that sentence, fighting brothers and going into battle mother and son soldiers.
"Queen Mother, did Poplar say that I only learned kung fu for two days? The queen has never heard of a day in the sky and a hundred years of dust. Of course, the hours of the underworld and the yang world will be different, and Bai Yang has been studying with his master and uncle for a long time. I didn't expect that only a day had passed when I woke up. ”
"Miss Bai, when you set up your own door, you said that you fled from other places. How do you explain this? A courtier asked, standing up.
Bai Yang saw that the courtier was thinking in his heart, the shameless emperor finally made a move. Wu can't do it, this is the communication. Wu's Wen is not afraid of the poplars? He glanced at the Dog Emperor coldly and said with a self-satisfied expression.
"Does this need to be explained? The first reason I don't say that, are you willing to give me a single detached household? The second reason is that after Miss Ben came back from the dead, she met a noble son who was chased and poisoned by assassins. Poplar is chivalrous and righteous in line with the teachings of his master and uncle. At that time, he took action to detoxify the noble son, and killed the assassins who were chasing after him by the way. How many times has Poplar said these things? Why don't you believe it? ”
"Poplar, the two worlds of the underworld and the yang world, there is no circumstantial evidence for your words." Another courtier stepped forward and accused.
"What do you mean, my lord? Do you want Poplar to find a few imps to testify against me? Prove that I really went to the underworld. Miss Ben went groggy when she went, and came back groggy and groggy. I don't remember the route at all, otherwise I'd really like to take you on a trip. "Poplar simply messed around to the end.
"According to my father-in-law's opinion, why don't Miss Bai go again in person? Don't forget to bring a token with you next time you come back. The old eunuch said fiercely.
"Yo, I talked about it for a long time before I heard the meaning. But that place was gloomy and cold, and Miss Ben didn't want to go back. If any of you have the ability, you will send me back, and if you don't, Miss Ben will send them back. Although he didn't tear his face openly, the words were already full of **.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother. Now that Miss Bai has already told the identity of the master and uncle, we really don't know much about the affairs in the rivers and lakes. The old slave dared to ask, can the martial arts competition start? It was the old lady who stood up and asked the mud, obviously because the queen couldn't clean up the mess, so she sent the old lady out. It can be regarded as giving the emperor a step down.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Hongu also felt that the topic was far away. The martial arts competition was originally a new addition to this election, and none of us had any experience. The omission also asks the emperor to forgive the sin. The queen stood up and said very humbly and obediently.
"What is the queen's crime? Miss Bai's experience is indeed bizarre. Since her master and uncle are all hermit masters, all the young ladies and masters who participated in the competition are also thunderous. There's enough time to lose, so let's start the competition. "The emperor can only go down the steps, and he can't treat Poplar's crime of bullying the king now, so there will be more people involved. Some of the envoys of the small sweet potato country have already entered the capital to live. The court must not be in civil strife at this time.
