Lord Roland adjusted the rhythm with a light somersault, and the knife moved as he wished, dancing more violently.

Her sword dance is really exquisite, and it has never been seen in Dasheng, which has attracted a lot of applause.

At the same time, the sound of the piano became faster and faster, like a raging wave, wave after wave, wave after wave, wave after wave, wave after wave, a storm and rain came with a bang.

It's obviously still the same tune, but it was shown by Duanmu Fei in a way that continued to accelerate......

Lord Roland was at first at ease, but soon a little beads of sweat began to ooze from her forehead, and she felt as if she was in a lonely boat in an angry wave, and her whole body rose and fell with the waves, and the waves rose and fell, as if there would be a catastrophe to destroy her completely......

Lord Roland gritted his teeth and held on, she could do it, she could do it faster, she didn't believe she would lose to Duanmu Fei!

However, the sound of the piano was still speeding up, high-pitched and excited, as if the two armies were fighting each other.

Lord Roland suddenly felt a cold stinging pain coming from the back of her left hand, and she knew that the blade had slashed through her skin.

She has been learning knife dance for more than ten years, and she can hold a knife when she is a toddler, of course, she has been injured by a knife, but as her knife dance has become more and more exquisite, she has never been injured again in the past four or five years, until today.

Lord Roland's face turned slightly pale, and his heart felt like a boulder had been pressed.

The exclamations of onlookers sounded all around, and the blood stains on the back of Roland's hand were too dazzling, and of course they saw it, watching the red blood trickle down the back of her hand and falling to the ground ticking, shocking.

"Roland!" Heru frowned and shouted. In his opinion, there is no need to compare this song, and since his sister was cut by a scimitar, it already means that she is at a disadvantage.

My sister lost.

But Lord Roland turned a deaf ear, and she was not convinced.

If she stops, she will admit defeat, and she will not lose to someone like Duanmufei!

The scimitar in her hand became more and more fierce and murderous.

She can still fight!

Duanmu Fei didn't look at Lord Roland at all, her eyes fell on the qin in front of her, at this moment, she only had her qin in her eyes.

She knew she could go faster.

Duanmu Fei's fingers danced faster, so fast that Dangui on the side was dumbfounded, and Dangui's heart was more complicated: Sister Scarlet, what a wonderful person, obviously her fingers are so flexible, why can't she play pot throwing and wooden shooting?!

Zhenzhen plays so beautifully! Feng Yan looked at Duanmu Fei intently, a proud smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't care who the person who was dancing was.

Suddenly, there was a gasping sound.

Dangui followed the sound and found that the sleeve of the upper arm of Lord Roland had been cut, and there was a little more red on the scimitar.

At this point, anyone can see that Lord Roland is just a trapped beast.

Heru called "Roland" again, however, Lord Roland was deaf as if enchanted, and her persistent expression was almost crazy.

She will definitely win Duanmufei!

Lord Roland's brown eyes were covered with bloodshot like spider's webs, hideous and terrifying.

The sound of the piano is like thunder, like a storm howling, with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas.

Boom –

Lord Roland's feet went limp, and suddenly his left foot tripped over his right foot, and his body fell crookedly.

With a "bang", the scimitar in her hand also came out of her hand and landed on the bluestone slab ground a foot away from her.

"Roland!" Heru shouted again, and hurried forward to help his sister.

At the same time, Duanmufei's piano sound eased, as if a storm had finally passed, and as if a war had finally ended, and light had come to the earth again.

The sound of the piano stopped.

There was silence in the Condensation Pavilion, the dance just now was too tragic, and at the same time, the song just now was too exciting, making people seem to be echoing the heroic and magnificent piano sound at this moment, around the beam for three days.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Dangui, who came back to his senses, was the first to applaud and looked at Duanmu Fei with burning eyes. Sister Scarlet played this song so well! …… That's right, it's beautiful to win! Tomorrow morning, she will enter the palace and tell Han Xing to go, Han Xing must be envious of her!

Dangui's eyes were shining, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise high.

The others around them applauded, including several from the Northwest Tribe, but someone next to them soon quietly tugged at their sleeves and winked.

The county lord of Huacheng of the Chaba clan glanced at the county lord of Yuzhen unwillingly, and stopped clapping his hands, but there was a touch of disapproval in his eyes. Their grassland sons and daughters have always been above board, winning is winning, and losing is losing...... Can't the Lord of Roland County afford to lose?!

Lord Roland was in a trance as Heru helped her up, she was embarrassed at the moment, there were several more scars on the back of her hands and arms, there was almost no trace of blood on her face, and her whole body trembled slightly, obviously a big blow.

How could she lose?! How could she lose?! Lord Roland felt as if he was in a nightmare.

Duanmu Fei raised his eyes to look at the county lord of Roland, and asked with a smile: "County lord, can you admit defeat?" ”

Her voice was still as crisp and unhurried as usual, but in the ears of Lord Roland, it pierced her heart like a sharp arrow, and her face was swept to the ground, and this pain even exceeded the pain caused by the wounds on her body.

She lost to Duanmu Fei, which also means that she is no longer qualified to compete with her for sealing Yan......

Lord Roland's heart fell straight down little by little, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and his whole body was cold.

Helu's brows furrowed even tighter, and his sister lost, this is an undoubted fact, but this Duanmu Fourth Girl is too aggressive, it is simply too deceitful!

Heru handed over his sister to her personal maid, and he took a step forward and looked at Duanmu Fei fiercely.

He was about to speak, but Feng Yan was already in front of Duanmu Fei.

"If the prince is not convinced, if he fights again, I will accompany him!"

Feng Yan's handsome face was smiling, but his eyes were sharp, and he moved his hand joints vigorously, thinking: Why are these people endless, my brother loses, and my sister goes; My sister lost, and my brother went on again, but he didn't admit defeat and wanted to rob his Zhenzhen, didn't he? !

No way!

"How could it be...... Brother Feng misunderstood. Heru was stunned, only to realize that Feng Yan felt that he was going to make a move on Duanmu Fei, so he stopped in front and hurriedly explained, "How can I do something to a girl's house." ”

Heru turned his head to look at his sister behind him and said, "It's Roland who lost." ”

Lord Roland only felt that the eyes of everyone around her were like pins and needles, and she had lost, so much so that she couldn't even find any excuse for losing......

Lord Roland clenched his fists tightly, his nails sinking deep into his calloused palms, and his ears roared.

She didn't want to admit defeat, but if she didn't admit defeat, it would go against the traditions of their northwest grasslands, and others would despise her, disdain to associate with her, and think she couldn't afford to lose.

Lord Roland took a deep breath and said with almost all his strength, "I lost. ”

With that, she turned and strode away, her stiff back like dead wood frozen in the snowstorm.

"Roland!" Heru hurriedly chased after him, and the brother and sister stepped into the wind and snow outside, one after the other.

The people of the other northwestern tribes looked at each other, and the county lord of Huacheng yawned lazily, and said to the county lord of Yuzhen beside him: "Yuzhen, let's go too." "There was no rest for this day and night, and she was almost sleepy!

The rest of the Northwest Clan followed suit, and the Condensation Pavilion was soon half empty.

Feng Yan didn't bother to pay attention to these people at all, his heart was almost floating, and his heart was full of joy: Zhen Zhen won so beautifully, she didn't give Heru a chance, she was really the most satisfied with herself!

Fortunately, I and my mother "begged" for marriage early, otherwise I am afraid that the wild bees and butterflies will not be able to catch up! Feng Yan secretly rejoiced in his heart, he was so wise!

"Sister Scarlet, I see that the song you played just now is very interesting, do you have a music score?" Dan Gui asked with interest.

Duanmu Fei shook her head, she just flicked it casually.

"Sister Dangui, I'll write it to you." Duanmu Fei said generously, Dangui was not polite to her, and she was as kind as a stream.

A girl in blue asked with a smile, "Miss Duanmu, can you let me make a copy?" ”

The others also asked, and Duanmu Fei responded to all of them, and they copied them themselves.

There was no need for Duanmu Fei to give her any more orders, and the maid of Luhua Pavilion cleverly prepared pen and ink for her.

After writing the score, Duanmu Fei left Luhua Pavilion under the escort of Feng Yan, and this time, she returned to Quanyu Street smoothly.

By this time, it was already dusk, and the sky was dark.

Duanmufei heard from the porter's mother-in-law that Duanmuxian had already returned home, so he simply went to his outer study first.

In the study, Duanmu Heng was also there.

Because Duanmu Heng didn't have to go to the Imperial Court, he let Duanmu Xian stay in the mansion for a day of rest, and ordered him to return to the country tomorrow to go to class.

When Duanmu Fei arrived, Duanmu Xian was teaching Duanmu Heng's homework: "Knowing is in the object, and then knowing the object." Why? ”

"Ge is still poor, things are still reasonable, and it is just poor and reasonable. Erudition, interrogation, prudence, discernment, and practice......"

Duanmufei came here, and she never needed to be informed by the maid, so when she came in, she heard the voices of her grandparents and grandchildren asking and answering.

She didn't bother them, she went straight to the window and sat down.

Because of the snow, the sky was a little dark, and the house had already lit up two Giethoorn lanterns, and the orange light was warm and soft.

A maid served tea to the four girls neatly, silently under her feet, not daring to disturb the old lady and the eldest young master.

Duanmu Fei was not at all interested in what they were talking about, and while drinking tea, she looked at Duanmu Heng's left hand, his left hand was still bandaged and bulging, and the knot tied on the gauze was designed by herself, which was unique.

Now it seems that the eldest brother is very obedient and did not untie the gauze casually.

Apply the ointment again at night, and tomorrow morning you shouldn't need to bandage it again, and you can still talk very well. I think that at that time, my hands were wrapped for half a month!

Duanmu Scarlet's gaze lingered on Duanmu Heng's left hand for a moment, his eyes dark and clear.

Yesterday, and the last time in Qianyayuan, the lord of Roland County had already whipped Duanmu Heng twice, his eldest brother was going to take the imperial examination, how could his hand hurt? !

His own eldest brother is not something that Roland can bully!

She's such a good sister! Duanmu Fei thought complacently, drinking tea and eating snacks, very comfortable.

Of course, Duanmu Xian saw Duanmu Fei, and after Duanmu Heng answered another question, he stroked his beard and said to Duanmu Fei: "Fourth girl, Mr. Liu said that you are intelligent, and he thought that there would be nothing to do during the day anyway, so let you go to his class." ”

What the?! The pastel teacup in Duanmu Fei's hand almost didn't take off his hand, and his shoulders collapsed.

The whole person is not good.

She didn't dare to speak at Mr. Liu's place for the past two days, why did he still think about himself?! Duanmu wanted to cry and flattened his mouth without tears, and even the tea didn't feel fragrant.

Duanmu Xian actually deliberately teased her, laughing.

The four girls in their own house are interesting.

"Four girls, Mr. Liu has read your chess game and asked you to play a game with him tomorrow if you are fine." Duanmu Xian said with a smile.

Duanmu's big dim eyes lit up again for a moment, and he nodded in response: "Okay, good, as long as it's ......."

As long as you don't wake up early and don't study, you can do anything!

Before she could say anything, the corner of her eye caught Duanmu Heng's gaze, and she immediately sat obediently, put her hands on her knees, and sat upright.

She smiled at Duanmu Heng flatteringly, as if to say, big brother, look, I'm very well-behaved.

Watching the brother and sister interact with each other, the smile on Duanmu Xian's face deepened. The four girls are not afraid of the sky and the earth, but they are afraid of getting up early and their eldest grandson.

Duanmu Xian kindly came out to rescue her, and gave Duanmu Heng a question: "Knowing is in me, reason is in things, this is the difference between me and things......"

It was a matter of homework, Duanmu Heng immediately turned his head and looked at Duanmu Xian intently.

Duanmu Fei breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the tea cup again, and drank tea silently, feeling that he needed to drink a few more sips of tea to dispel his fright.

After a while, only the voices of Duanmu Xian and Duanmu Heng's ancestors and grandchildren were left in the room, Duanmu Fei only thought that he did not exist, and his head was empty, well, the tea here from my grandfather is really good, no worse than that in the princess's mansion.

After my grandfather was promoted to Shousuke, this is probably the biggest benefit! Duanmu Fei thought nonsense.

Time passed quietly, Duanmu Xian from the Four Books and Five Classics to the political affairs of the past years, when it comes to the latter, Duanmu Heng's shortcomings are revealed, and Duanmu Xian will add some of his own views from time to time to mention the eldest grandson.

"Brother Heng, what do you think of the matter of the 'Heavenly Destiny Phoenix Girl'?" Duanmuxian's question suddenly jumped from decades ago to these days.

"Nonsense!" Duanmu Heng Zhengse said, "Ziwei Doushu is also known as 'Imperial Studies', with Ziwei Star as the center, Ziwei Star is the emperor star, the head of the stars, and the stars revolve around it and change around it. If there is really a phoenix girl with a destiny, there should be a true son of heaven first, and there should be a prince, and then there will be a princess, so that it is in line with cause and effect. The so-called true phoenix girl, isn't it putting the cart before the horse? ”

Duanmu Fei almost didn't laugh. Big brother is so much fun.

"......" Duanmu Xian couldn't help but feel helpless that he didn't know how to say it, he wanted to discuss the government, but the eldest grandson answered this question from the perspective of astrology.

I can't say he's wrong, but it doesn't make a difference in this matter.

"Four girls......" Duanmu Xian's right hand placed on the desk formed a fist and looked at Duanmu Fei.

Duanmu Fei swallowed a mouthful of dim sum and replied obediently: "Cooking oil on fire." ”

Duanmu Heng got through at one point, raised his eyebrows, and showed a thoughtful look.

Duanmu Fei took another sip of tea and moistened his throat before saying the remaining half of the sentence: "Wei Guogong is about to finish." She smiled so much that her eyes and lips were crooked into three teeth.

Duanmu Xian bowed slightly, looking at Duanmu Fei's eyes even hotter. In fact, he only figured this out last night, but looking at the way the four girls answered, it seemed that he had already thought of it.

Such an outstanding posture, such a sharp mind...... It's really a blessing for the Duanmu family!

"Grandfather," Duanmu tilted his head and smiled more happily, "Do you want to take the Duanmu family to the next level?" ”

“……”

What do you mean?! Duanmu Xian and Duanmu Heng were stunned by her words, and they didn't reflect it for a while.

Duanmu smiled and continued: "Wei Guogong is in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the emperor will definitely not dare to touch him for a while......"

Duanmu Fei took another sip of tea slowly, and said in his heart: If Wei Guogong can "settle down" next, maybe the emperor will grit his teeth and endure it. It's just that it is estimated that "they" will not let Wei Guogong "settle down......

"But the emperor already has a thorn in his heart, and he must be thinking about how to take away the military power of the Duke of Weiguo. Grandfather, if you can propose the reform of the military system at this time, will the emperor think that your grandfather will appreciate the holy will? Duanmu blinked, his big black and white eyes were pure and clear, but what he said was more like an old fox who had been in the court for decades.

Duanmu Xian frowned, stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies holds the power of the world's soldiers and horses, and Geng Hai may not easily agree to reform the military system......

Geng Hai could never sit idly by and watch the emperor weaken his military power, and the Weiguo Mansion has been intertwined in the court for more than 100 years.

Duanmu squinted his eyes with a smile, "Grandfather, it is the restructuring of the Ministry of War, what does it have to do with the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?" ”

Duanmu Xian was stunned, and his face was groaning.

Since Emperor Taizu established the Dasheng Dynasty, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War are mutually controlled, but they are not subordinate to each other, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has the right to command the troops but not the right to transfer troops, and the Ministry of War has the right to transfer troops but not the right to command the troops, the purpose of which is to avoid the dictatorship of military generals.

If you start with the military department, it may have the effect of encircling Wei and saving Zhao.

Thinking about it, Duanmuxian couldn't help but swallow his saliva, felt that his throat was a little dry, and asked, "Four girls, what do you mean......"

Duanmu Scarlet said with a smile: "Grandfather, since ancient times, the military department has been in charge of the selection and awarding of military positions, military registration, ordnance, military orders, car driving, post stations, rations, etc., why is it different from our dynasty?" ”

For more than 100 years, because the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is responsible for raising troops and commanding troops, it is also in charge of affairs such as food and Tuntian, and even the military registration is in the hands of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

Duanmu Xian thought thoughtfully, yes, if you want to divide power from the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, you must first improve the system of the Ministry of War and expand the rights of the Ministry of War!

Duanmuxian's thin lips were pursed, and he almost used all his strength to maintain the calm on the surface, and his heart fluctuated: How can his four girls be so smart!

Duanmu Heng looked at Duanmu Scarlet in shock, his pupils as bright and firm as stars.

His four sisters are so outstanding!

As an older brother, he can't lose to his sister.

He needs to work harder! Duanmu Heng said to himself in his heart.

In response to Duanmu Fei's sentence of "cooking oil with fire", with Sun Daogu of Zhenyuanguan rescuing a dying person, her reputation as a "living immortal" has completely spread in the capital, from dignitaries to ordinary people, everyone knows it.

Correspondingly, there are more and more mansions that go to the Weiguo Mansion to give gifts, of course, there are also those like the Duanmu family who are unmoved, some plan to wait and see, and some vow to be "pure ministers" and do not plan to stand in line.

What the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty did not know was that every other day, a list of gifts and a list of gifts would be secretly sent to the emperor.

Every time he saw the names on the list, the emperor's face turned a little blue.

These names are like adding handfuls of firewood to the emperor's heart, and the emperor's heart is burning more and more.

The emperor was about to be unable to bear it anymore, and the only scruple in his heart was the word "military power".

On the 29th of the lunar month, the court held a ceremony to seal the pen and seal the treasure in accordance with the rules of the previous year, and the ministers all breathed a sigh of relief, and they should be able to have a good year.

The year is finally coming to an end.

Not only did the morning break, but Guozijian also took a holiday after the morning class, and he didn't start classes again until the tenth day of the junior high school.

One by one, the prisoners were relieved, like birds released from the cage, Duanmu Heng packed up his things and walked out of the hall unhurriedly.

Since he returned to the Guozi Prison to attend classes, the inmates here all know that he was "driven back" by the Li Fan Yuan, and since these days, there have been some private discussions in the Guozi Prison, but Duanmu Heng has a good personality and has always been popular, so there are not many evil opinions, and most of the classmates are a little curious and sympathetic.

A few classmates and Duanmu Heng said as they walked in the direction of the gate.

"Brother Duanmu, it's going to be fine in the afternoon anyway, should we go to Qingyun Teahouse for a cup of tea together?" A young man in Tsing Yi suggested.

"Brother Liu, I already have an appointment with my cousin." Duanmu Heng said apologetically, "Why don't we make an appointment another day......"

Between the words, on the cobblestone path in front of him, an elegant young man in an azure cloud pattern brocade robe walked up, it was Tao Zihuai.

A few of them just met each other, Tao Zihuai's pace slowed down, and there was a hint of embarrassment on his face, but he still stepped forward to greet Duanmu Heng and the others as if nothing happened.

He heard that Guozijian had a holiday today, so he came back to get his homework during the New Year, but he didn't expect to meet Duanmu Heng so coincidentally.

"Brother Duanmu, Brother Liu, Brother Zhang......" Tao Zihuai arched his hand to them one by one.

"Brother Tao." Duanmu Heng only lightly returned the salute.

For him, Tao Zihuai is an unassociable person, and he doesn't have to bother socializing.

A gentleman has something to do, something not to do, and he dares to do something.

On Pingyang Street that day, he had already said that he would take all the responsibilities with one force, and one force to bear it meant that he would take the initiative to bear it, rather than turning around like Tao Zihuai and rushing to the official to complain, which was not done by a gentleman.

After Duanmu Heng greeted Tao Zihuai, he continued to walk forward without stopping, passing by him without giving him another look.

The prisoner surnamed Liu and the prisoner surnamed Zhang felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and after exchanging a look, they also chased after Duanmu Heng.

Tao Zihuai's body stiffened slightly, and he continued to walk forward, and three more prisoners came in front of him, greeting Tao Zihuai familiarly.

Tao Zihuai has not returned to China for more than half a month since he went to the Lifan Yuan to help, and the three prisoners chatted with him with great interest.

"Brother Tao, are you still adapting to the Lifan Academy these days?"

"Brother Tao, seeing that you are proud of the spring breeze, you want to be quite useful, right?"

“……”

As the three of them talked, they turned the topic to Duanmu Heng: "Brother Tao, do you know why Brother Duanmu suddenly came back?" A willow-colored inmate lowered his voice curiously.

When Tao Zihuai heard this, his expression became stiff again, and Duanmu Heng's indifferent attitude just now appeared in his mind, and his heart sank slightly.

Duanmu Heng definitely knew.

knew that he was looking for Wu Shangshu to complain, so he would be kicked out by the Li Fan Yuan.

Of course, this incident was caused by Duanmu Heng, but when it spreads, it is inevitable that some people will think that he is not upright enough.

No, he had to strike first. Tao Zihuai clenched his fists and sighed: "Brother Duanmu is young and vigorous, and he has had some trouble with the people of the Northwest Tribes on the street, and he also let the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division put several county lords and county lords of the Northwest Tribes in prison......"

Tao Zihuai said as he looked in the direction of the gate, the cold wind was blowing, and his voice was blown away by the cold wind in an instant.
