I saw a swaying figure in the distance walking towards the courtyard, and when I looked closer, it was a little eunuch with a beautiful face and smiling eyebrows. The thin body was wrapped in a brown-green gold-threaded robe, meticulously dressed, and the waist was naturally slightly bent. The fingers overlapping in front of him were slightly orchid fingers, he lowered his head, the steps under his feet were small but fast alternating back and forth, and in a few moments, he was from the front hall to the center of the middle lobby living room.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the emperor observed the sincerity of the Northern Wei Dynasty's marriage proposal, and took into account that there were not many princesses of appropriate age in the palace, but the candidate was already in the emperor's heart, but he remembered the kindness of his father and daughter, and did not want to be rude to Wei, so the third candidate for the competition in Beijing was specially ordered to fight the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo. This battle will be won! After the little eunuch with white eyebrows and thin fat in front of him read out the holy decree in a sharp voice, everyone knelt in the hall, raised their hands high above their heads, and bowed down while shouting "Long live Your Majesty". I was the only one who stood there stupidly, not knowing what that decree meant.

"Twilight, twilight, hurry up and take the lead!" My brother, who was kneeling beside me, gently tugged at the hem of my skirt and called my name.

At this time, I came back to my senses, even if I had a lot of thoughts in my heart, I had to receive the decree first, so I knelt down and bowed, and Gongjin received the holy decree.

Everyone stood up one after another, and before I could stand firmly, the little eunuch had already stepped in front of me, "County Lord, Your Majesty's will, this battle will be won!" After that, he looked at my eyes, and without waiting for me to say anything, he turned around, Gong Jin bowed to his father for a half-salute, and Wen Sheng said: "Master Hou, the little one came to deliver the decree this time, and he has the emperor's grace, so he can't give you a big gift, and he will come to the house to greet you another day." ”

"Where's the father-in-law?" My father nodded kindly.

"The minion retired first." With that, the little father-in-law walked out of the living room quickly and walked straight out of the house.

I stood in place with a puzzled face, I didn't understand the meaning of the holy decree for a while, I saw that my father had walked to my side, his eyes were like torches, his brows were deeply frowned, like rolling up a thousand huge waves, "Your Majesty's mind is unpredictable, you have been chosen, you must have an inside story, but no matter what it is, the emperor's will is clear, this battle will be won!" With that, he sighed deeply.

"Father, Duxue is a daughter's family, no matter how strong her martial arts are, she may not be able to beat that Sima An!" The elder brother on the side couldn't bear it anymore and rushed to ask.

Father's deep gaze looked straight into the front hall, silently.

At this time, I saw a little slave running quickly, "Lord Hou, Son, Miss, the commander of the Patrol Division has arrived, and he has dismounted at this time." ”

Shang Jinming? How did he get here? I wondered. "He is the person next to the emperor, maybe he can know the emperor's thoughts, and he should come here at this time for the sake of the holy decree." The father frowned tightly at the sword's eyebrows, and his tone became even heavier.

"Master Hou, has the holy decree arrived?" Before Jin Mingren entered the hall, the voice had already arrived. "Brother Dusk, I heard that you have returned to Beijing, you should have come early, but you have never been available." He and his brother can be regarded as friends in the world, and when they were children, they also studied with Taifu, but when they grew up, everyone went their separate ways, so there was less contact.

If it is said that it is a world friend, Jin Ming and his brother are indeed a little rusty, but at this time, they came in a hurry, it should not be for his brother, why is that? I was secretly thinking in my heart, and I couldn't help but sweep my eyes to him, who wanted him to stare at me honestly, I was stunned, and I was a little overwhelmed.

Yuan Shangming was a little flustered when he saw that I noticed his eyes, as if he had the intention to hide his intentions, and deliberately shifted his eyes to his brother.

"Jin Ming, where did you hear the news? The decree has just arrived, and you have stepped into the door. The father, who was sitting in the middle of the courtroom, asked with a slight hesitation.

"Back to the Hou Ye, I just came from the palace." Jin Ming bowed slightly and replied. "I entered the palace on the orders of His Majesty this morning, and after replying, I was just about to leave the palace, when I heard that Liu Mu invited me to see him, saying that there were the most suitable three people in my heart, so Your Majesty asked me to stay and listen."

"It's this Liu Mu again, this father and son have an enmity with me, and they can't get along with me one after another!" Without waiting for Jin Ming to finish speaking, I grabbed the words and said angrily.

"You kid, there are more and more rules, Liu Mu is the king. Do you call it so bluntly? My father frowned and pointed at me with his right hand.

I knew that Shang Jinming was there, and I lost my words, so I lowered my head and didn't say a word.

"Jin Ming, tell me quickly, Liu Mu recommended my sister, why did Your Majesty agree?" My brother was a little anxious. Because his brother is a battlefield general, and when it comes to knighthood, he does not lose to Liu Mu, so he can call him by name.

"Liu Mu said that he originally recommended Commander Mu because he would definitely win, no matter whether this pro is harmonious or discordant, he can't let them Northern Wei be so presumptuous above my court, but after thinking about it, Commander Mu has the heavy responsibility of defending the imperial city, and he really has no time to pay attention to the unreasonable demands of those barbarians, thinking about it in his heart, if we Dajin selects a female general, hits with one blow, and defeats that Sima An, no matter how thick their Northern Wei skin is, it is not easy to make any requests. Moreover, even if this female general really loses, it is reasonable for a female general to lose to their second-grade general. Jin Ming retold Liu Mu's statement in front of the emperor in the original form.

If the female general in Beijing talks about martial arts, she should be my aunt, the eldest princess Sheng En, but she is not in Beijing at this time, because of the Xixia rebellion last year, he led 50,000 elite soldiers to guard the Xiya Pass, and has not returned to Beijing for a whole year. In this way, the emperor will definitely choose me, I have studied art in Wuyuan Mountain since I was a child, and I am the only female Ouchi guard. I thought to myself.

"There should be another reason for choosing the little girl, it's just that Liu Mu is cunning and can't say it directly." The father gently stroked his beard, which was neither long nor short, and said slowly, "He has recommended his nephew Liu Hui, but although this Liu Hui has won the ranking of the martial arts test, he really wants to fight against the masters, but he may not be able to take advantage, once he loses, where will he put the emperor's face?" Pull up the little girl, if you lose, you will also be accompanied by my Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, if you win, the woman can win that Sima An, what is his request in the Northern Wei Dynasty? Without damaging the emperor's face, the matter passed. ”

"Father's analysis is extreme." My brother looked at my father and then turned to look at me.

Shang Jinming on the side looked at me tightly, although I didn't look at him, I could feel that his eyes had been falling on me.
