Chapter 18: The Emperor Makes a Move 2
It was the old lady who announced the rules of the game. The competition chooses the elimination system, and the ten ladies draw lots to decide the two-by-two showdown. Two wins in three games were eliminated first, and five people were eliminated. The remaining five people competed against the palace guards, and a tie would be considered the winner. Defeat is naturally eliminated. The winner this time still competed against the palace guards. Compared with the pilot, it is not allowed to injure people's lives at will. If you violate the rules of the competition, you will also be eliminated.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, and the noble concubines and the courtiers who are observing. If life is threatened, do you defend yourself or wait to be killed? Poplar asked loudly, and this sentence was also what the nine young ladies who participated in the competition wanted to ask the most. But no one had the courage to stand up and ask. These nine young ladies and those young ladies are not on the same level at all. They already smelled the strong ** smell just now. This eldest lady of the White Palace, I'm afraid that I've offended a nobleman. And that noble person is very powerful, and Miss Bai doesn't seem to be able to take much advantage. And the two masters and uncles she said had never heard of at all. Apparently she made it up. But there is no master, where did she learn her kung fu. When bidding farewell to the master and going down the mountain, he heard rumors in the capital. After the begging lady survived, people were completely different. Now that I see a real person, I always feel that there is a demonic aura or divine power in her.
When people are speculating in their hearts. A palace maid came over with a plate, and in the plate were 10 balls of silk cloth.
"The ladies who participated in the martial arts competition, there were five sets of numbers in the silk cloth. Now you start choosing who you want to compete against. The numbers in the bungae are both the basis for the duel and the order of your game. Miss Bai, your master and uncle are a fan-like person. So it starts with you. The old lady and the eunuch who spoke just now stood behind the palace maid, and it seemed that they were supervising the notarization of the lottery. Poplar understands at a glance, and the small action will start now.
Poplar looked at the ten silk blobs, which were divided into five colors. Red means best, white is the worst. The black ones are a little obscure, and the pink and blue ones are next to the black cloth balls, which look dull. I sensed it with my heart, and there was no smell of poison on the silk cloth. That's only in the silk ball. But how can I get that silk ball accurately?
Poplar glanced up at his old eunuch and noticed that he was also staring nervously at the silk cloth on the plate. I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, thinking that I would be counted now. Go for your spring and autumn dreams. So he said coldly: "Red festive, black violent, white holy, pink charming, blue enchanting." It's really embarrassing for Miss Ben. Forget it, Miss Ben has always been super lucky, so grab one with your eyes closed. ”
Poplar said, and really closed those beautiful eyes that were soul-stunning. A hand reached for the plate, and sure enough, I felt a breeze lingering on the cloth on the plate. Poplar had no doubt that as long as his fingers were bent, the small cloth ball would fly into the palm of his hand. Poplar closed his eyes and reached out to grab the cloth ball, but it was only measured in seconds. It was in the midst of the lightning that Poplar's hand left the tray. The other hand grabbed a ball of cloth at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
The old eunuch was shocked in his heart, this kung fu of asking for a meal is very weird. The hand she stretched out first blocked the operation of her true qi, and the other hand was the real move. In fact, Poplar is not as clever as he imagined, if there is no cheating device in space, Poplar can only hit the luck, and Butuan Tuantuan, who really got the poison, is trying to find a way to detoxify. This is what the old eunuch did not expect, and what Poplar did not expect, the poison on the silk cloth ball is colorless and tasteless, and it is a domineering penetrating poison. Once a person comes into contact with it, it is too late to detoxify. Although the antidote is readily available everywhere, it cannot completely detoxify the poison. The residual poison will still slowly corrode the human body.
At the moment when the old eunuch retracted his true anger and was stunned, Bai Yang made a move. While she withdrew her previous hand, she also tried to run the True Qi, whether it could be perfectly successful, Bai Yang didn't know the bottom in her heart. This is still the surface of the ancient cheats learned in the space. I used it once to deal with the emperor that night, but the emperor is a big living person, what a big goal. If you want to overturn the plate without being noticed, this test is the attainment of true qi operation. She also only released her true qi at the tip of her little finger, and the plate did not take off her hand, but tilted it slightly. It's like people who have been carrying things for a long time and haven't controlled their balance well. The cloth on the plate is very round and firm. As soon as the plate tilted, three balls of cloth rolled to the ground, and then were blown by the cold winter wind and rolled on the ground a few times. The old lady and the maid who brought the tray were unimpressed. Only the old eunuch jumped away in fright.
And almost at the same time, the nine young ladies also reached out and grabbed lots on the plate. As a result, Bai Huan'er, who was moving slowly, and the hands of the three young ladies of the temple Venerable, Red Mushroom and Xiuxiu, were empty. The three people's hands were so strong that the plate fell to the ground. Coincidentally, the three pieces of cloth that had fallen to the ground returned to the plate.
"What's the hurry? Everyone has a share. There are only three left, so take your time, and the three of you can choose. The palace maid with the wooden plate said impatiently, bending down and picking it up. These things happen so fast, in the blink of an eye, that some people don't even see it. Even if the emperor wants to stop it, it's too late. Ten silk balls were caught by the ladies. I just don't know who the unlucky guy is. The old lady also announced this.
"The lot is over, and the ladies have time to prepare for a stick of incense. Then the two young ladies who caught No. 1 began to compete on stage. ”
People who didn't see the change just now are looking forward to the style of the women's competition of the martial arts of the Dayan Congress. People who see it as well as the emperor have different thoughts, but they are powerless to return to heaven. Two black clumps of silk cloth, one of which was smeared with poison. Now one is in the hands of Poplar and the other is in the hands of Baihuan'er. Maybe this is the will of God, the two sisters of the Bai family are going to face off again. Poplar opened the silk ball and there was a white number five written on it. This is also what I thought of when I first applied the poison, so that the poison could slowly penetrate more into the skin. The effect will be more obvious when you fight.
Bai Yang looked at Bai Huan'er, feeling the changes in his body, while secretly observing Bai Huan'er's facial expression. There must be no signs of poisoning, but I don't know what the martial arts attainments of the old man Qingshan are. Can he, the female apprentice, sense the physical discomfort?
During the time of a stick of incense, the ladies who participated in the competition did not have many activities. The ladies who drew the same number even talked in a low voice together. Bai Huan'er also walked up to Bai Yang and clasped his fists and said, "In terms of age, you should be my cousin." You and I have similar experiences, you started begging for food when I was a few years old, and I was thrown into the mountains when I was a few years old to learn kung fu from a master. You and Wan'er got along very well in the first few competitions, and Huan'er hopes that when our sisters compete, my cousin will be merciful. Don't let your sister lose too badly. ”
"Sister Huan'er, we come from the same family. My sister naturally hopes that we can add glory to the family together. I'm afraid that if someone doesn't agree, God won't be perfect. Bai Yang looked at Bai Huan'er's slightly changing demeanor and said in a Zen voice.
"Sister Poplar, there's something wrong with my cousin. Is it that someone secretly did his hands and feet, and the silk cloth was poisonous. Bai Huan'er asked in a low voice that was a little uncertain.
"It's not a toxic sister or not, and I can't be sure. Do you feel something uncomfortable? ”
"Cousin, I didn't feel much discomfort, but my hands started to itch a little on my arms. It's not very uncomfortable, it's just a little weird. Coupled with the change in the tray just now, my cousin dared to guess. ”
"Butuantuan's change, why did my cousin say that?"
"Cousin, although my master, the old man Qingshan, is not good at using poison, he often explains all kinds of dirty things on the rivers and lakes to the apprentices. So that we can take precautions early when we go down the mountain. Originally, it was normal for the tray to fall to the ground, but if Huan'er was really poisoned, it would be very abnormal. It also shows that my cousin's kung fu is above me. ”
"Sister Huan'er, is that itchy feeling still there? If your sister is really poisoned, you will not be suitable for the luck competition. My sister understands detoxification, and those who have a heart dare to use poison. It can be seen that the domineering nature of this poison is definitely not ordinary. Now is not the time for detoxification at all, let me see your hands first. Bai Yang did not explain the real reason why the tray fell to the ground, and whispered to Bai Huan'er.
"Cousin, the itching feeling is very comfortable, but the movement is not very fast. If you don't probe carefully, it really seems to be nothing. This itchy feeling went up a little more, referring to my master's usual teachings. Can Huan'er be sure I'm poisoned? While the Poplar sisters were talking, the gong sounded like a martial arts comparison, and the two young ladies who had drawn a number had already begun to compete.
