Chapter Eighty-Five: Equal
Fan Ninghuai watched Lian Zhi save Su Yixiao, and his eyes changed slightly: "When did you like to meddle so much?" ”
Su Yixiao didn't want to embarrass Lianzhi: "Regent, leave a line in everything, you are too ruthless today." ”
"It's because your skills are not as good as others, do you still want the king's subordinates to show mercy on the martial arts field? Wouldn't you be too useless? Fan Ninghuai said sarcastically.
Su Yixiao was sarcastically voiced by Fan Ninghuai for a while, and Lian Zhi relieved the siege: "Fan Ninghuai, not everyone is the same as you, I don't need to say how much you have paid to get to this day, his past is bright and fair, and naturally he is not as good as you." ”
"Princess, is this saying that this king is not bright enough?" Fan Ninghuai asked.
No one expected that today's banquet would turn into a confrontation between Lianzhi and Fan Ninghuai at the end. Just now, Lian Zhi rescued Su Yixiao, which can be regarded as saving Xi Chu's face, at least in this case, only Lian Zhi can come forward.
"The regent knows in his heart, if this princess really says it, will you be satisfied?" Lianzhi motioned to Su Yixiao to hurry down and return to his seat, and Su Yixiao also knew that it was useless for him to stay, so he could only return to his seat first.
"General Su, the competition is not over yet, where are you going?" Fan Ninghuai went to catch Su Yixiao as he spoke, and Lian Zhi grabbed Fan Ninghuai's arm and pulled him back: "Fan Ninghuai, you are enough!" ”
"It seems that today, the princess must protect this person, it just so happens that this king has not studied with the princess for a long time, so let's see if the princess's martial arts are regressive." Fan Ninghuai said that he shot directly at Lianzhi, and Lianzhi dodged to avoid it.
Fan Ninghuai can attack Lianzhi without scruples, but Lianzhi can't, she can't expose her martial arts in front of everyone, so she can only try her best to avoid it.
At this time, Lianzhi also saw that Fan Ninghuai's real purpose today was her.
Wen Yunxi watched Lian Zhi avoid Fan Ninghuai, and ran to Wen Zhiyan's side with a anxious face: "Brother Zhiqi, what can I do about this?" Why is this regent so ruthless, he doesn't even let go of Wanyang? ”
Wen Zhiyan grabbed Wen Yunxi hard, for fear that Wen Yunxi would rush out: "We couldn't participate in the competition between Fan Ninghuai and Su Yixiao just now, and now we can't participate in the competition between Fan Ninghuai and Wanyang." Now we can only hope that Fan Ninghuai doesn't dare to really be ruthless to Wanyang! ”
Lian Zhi didn't understand why Fan Ninghuai wanted to attack herself, but the best way at the moment was for her to accept Fan Ninghuai's palm, and then end the competition.
So when Fan Ninghuai made a move against Lianzhi again, Lianzhi didn't dodge.
"Evening Ripple!" Wen Yunxi shouted, everyone's eyes were focused on Lianzhi, but when Fan Ninghuai was about to hit Lianzhi's shoulder with a palm, the cold light flashed, Fan Ninghuai hurriedly withdrew his hand, if he was one step slower, I was afraid that his hand would be cut off.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Seeing Wen Zhiyu appear, everyone saluted to greet her.
Wen Zhiyu protected Lianzhi behind him, he looked at Fan Ninghuai standing in front of him, and smiled: "The regent of Dongxia, take action against the princess of Dongxia, today this king is really eye-opening." ”
This is the first time Fan Ninghuai has seen Wen Zhiming, but he didn't expect it to be in this situation: "You are Wen Zhiming, the prince of Western Chu!" ”
"That's right, it's this king."
The aura of the two did not give up on each other, and just looking at each other made the people around them feel the smell of gunsmoke.
Fan Ninghuai's gaze turned to Lianzhi, who was protected by Wen Zhiyu behind him: "Princess, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have regressed." ”
Lian Zhi walked to Wen Zhiyu's side: "This princess is a woman, and martial arts can defend herself, and she doesn't need to be proficient." ”
"But the princess wasn't like that before." Fan Ninghuai pointed meaningfully, "I didn't expect to come to Xichu, but it made the princess change her previous mind, which really surprised the king." ”
"What does this princess think, it has nothing to do with the regent, no matter what the regent does today, it can be regarded as the following offense, right?"
"Then how will the prince punish this king?"
Wen Zhiyu spoke: "There is no need for Princess Wanyang to do it, this king will come to teach the regent the martial arts, lest the regent think that I have no one in Xichu." ”
Wen Zhiyu was injured, and Lianzhi was not at ease: "Prince, you ......"
Before Lian Zhi finished speaking, Wen Zhiyu motioned for her to avoid it first: "I'm fine, you go to the side and wait for me first." ”
Lianzhi nodded: "You must be careful." ”
As soon as Lian Zhi walked away, Wen Zhiyu and Fan Ninghuai, who were on the field, made a move, and Wen Zhiyu saw that Fan Ninghuai had no weapons, so he didn't use a sword.
Ji Nanyi thought about what had happened from just now to now, and his eyes flashed with interest: "Today's banquet is really worth it." ”
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Ji Wanyi asked.
Ji Nanyi smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I just think it's interesting." ”
"What's interesting? General Su Xiao almost had an accident just now, this regent of Dongxia is really ruthless enough, he actually dares to make a move against Princess Wanyang, and now he is fighting with the prince again, is he going to offend Xichu? ”
"Since he dared to do this, he expected that nothing would happen to him." Ji Nanyi was a little curious, "What I want to know most is, why did he do this?" If you want to embarrass Xi Chu, it's enough to shoot arrows just now, why do you have to do these things later? ”
Not to mention Ji Nanyi, even Lian Zhi didn't understand what Fan Ninghuai was crazy about today, and he would actually do such an irrational thing?
On the field, Wen Zhiyu and Fan Ninghuai also launched the final blow, both of them made their palms, and took two steps back at the same time.
Lianzhi breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over, the two were evenly matched, and they couldn't tell the difference between winning and losing. However, Wen Zhiyu was injured, and this competition was unfair to him.
Wen Zhiyu saluted Fan Ninghuai first: "The regent is really powerful!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not bad." Fan Ninghuai returned the salute.
Wen Xize got up, he had endured it for a long time: "The regent is really generous today, and he has actually achieved this level. ”
Wen Xize was angry, but he couldn't do anything with Fan Ninghuai, if Wen Zhiyu didn't appear, I was afraid that no one present would be able to suppress Fan Ninghuai. The people present today are all juniors, young people, even if they have some qualifications, such as Su Yixiao, it is not as good as Fan Ninghuai.
Fan Ninghuai didn't seem to be able to hear Wen Xize's anger: "It's rare for this king to come to Dongxia, so naturally he wants to have a good understanding of the skills of the Western Chu boy, so look at it, the emperor's choice of the prince is really discerning." ”
Hearing this, Wen Xize's pupils contracted suddenly, and Lian Zhi took a step forward: "The regent is really in good spirits today, I have never seen the regent talk so much in the past." ”
What Fan Ninghuai just said was to provoke the relationship between Wen Xize and Wen Zhiming, and Lianzhi was reminding Wen Xize not to be instigated by Fan Ninghuai.
Wen Zhiyu replied: "My father has always been as wise as a torch, and this king doesn't want to disappoint his father, so he naturally has to put in more efforts to meet his father's expectations." ”
Wen Xize continued: "The prince has always been excellent, and I am very pleased to have such a son. ”
Fan Ninghuai didn't want to waste time: "Now that I have drunk wine, eaten food, and practiced martial arts, can this banquet end today?" ”
Fan Ninghuai's words were very arrogant, but Emperor Chu was happy when he saw that Fan Ninghuai didn't get any benefits today: "Today is a special banquet for the regent to catch the wind and wash the dust, since the regent is tired, it can naturally be over." I'm a little tired, Prince, you send the regent for me! ”
Wen Xize got up, everyone knelt down to send Emperor Chu away, Wen Zhiyu looked at Fan Ninghuai: "I have always wanted to see this king, but today I see this king, are you satisfied?" ”
Fan Ninghuai replied: "Of course I am satisfied, can this king be dissatisfied?" However, at the moment, the king sees that the Emperor of Chu is not very satisfied with you, the crown prince, and it seems that His Royal Highness the crown prince still needs to work hard to meet the expectations of the Emperor of Chu. Thinking about it this way, Emperor Chu's requirements for the crown prince are really high. ”
How could Fan Ninghuai not know Wen Xize's precaution against Wen Zhiming, he was deliberately poking Wen Zhiming's sore spot, but Wen Zhiying just replied calmly: "This king's surname is Wen, and the rivers and mountains of Western Chu are also surnamed Wen, no matter what the result is, at least this king's efforts still seem to be hopeful now." But the Jiangshan surnamed Lin in Eastern Xia, no matter how hard the regent tries, it seems that he is destined to be in vain, and there is no hope. ”
Wen Zhiyu is at least the rightful prince of Western Chu, no matter whether the Chu emperor is satisfied with him or not, he has the possibility of inheriting the unification in the future. But Fan Ninghuai is just a regent, no matter how hard he puts in, it is impossible to sit on the throne of Dongxia, unless Fan Ninghuai wants to rebel, and Fan Ninghuai will never dare to show it even if he has such thoughts.
Fan Ninghuai understood what Wen Zhiyu meant, and he smiled at Wen Zhiyu: "This king really underestimated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, and he won't in the future." King Luben himself will go, so he will not work for the prince to send him off. ”
Lianzhi looked at the back of Fan Ninghuai leaving, and felt a sigh in her heart, she had a premonition that Fan Ninghuai's real target was Wen Zhiyuan. However, Fan Ninghuai had no intersection with Wen Zhiyu before, so why did he target Wen Zhiyu?
