"Hmm." Xia Zhixue replied lightly, and when Ouyang Huaiyu turned his head, the person had disappeared without a trace.

She had no intention of fighting the guards holding the bronze mirror, what she wanted was to win by covert methods.

For example, blow out a candle lit in the northwest corner.

As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, if the copper mirror loses the light that can be transferred, then it is not capable of setting off wind and waves.

Unless the bronze mirror is able to emit light on its own, which is obviously impossible.

Xia Zhixue walked through the crowd quickly, seeing that Ouyang Huaiyu had already drawn his bow, and the arrow was about to leave the string.

But at such a critical juncture, Ouyang Huaiyu suddenly put down his hand, and in the face of the doubts of a group of people, he said: "There is another very important matter that has not been dealt with, which makes you laugh." ”

The people present looked at each other, not knowing which one he was playing.

Xia Zhixue had already reached the northwest corner, she hid behind the candle flame, and sometimes she blew hard, and the candle flame disappeared inch by inch.

The northwest corner was plunged into darkness, but no one noticed that something was wrong.

Ouyang Huaiyu easily pulled the bow into the shape of a full moon, and the feathers of the tail of an arrow were pulled in his hand, and the arrow was shiny.

Three arrows in a row.

The arrows were shot one by one, and the trajectory of the walk was unclear

Three arrows were shot out one after another, but none of them stayed on the target, all of them were in the middle of the red heart, and they passed through the target.

Sighs.

Loulan looked at Ouyang Huaiyu's relaxed appearance, and his eyes changed: "How did you do it?" He speaks non-standard Chinese, occasionally mixed with the local dialect of Loulan.

"Brother." Ouyang Huaiyu approached and patted him on the shoulder, "I am willing to gamble and lose, your little trick of Loulan has been seen through." ”

He also speaks Loulan language, which others can't understand, so he is not ashamed.

Loulan's face was red, and he looked at the northwest corner, and there was a figure moving in the darkness.

There is no suspense, this competition, the country won.

The corners of the emperor's mouth rose to the root of his ears: "Nineteen really gave me a long face, and you accepted it." ”

The envoy looked at the emperor's breathlessness, and said a few words of praise perfunctorily, and his reluctance was already written on his face.

But the emperor still took it all.

In this fight, each vassal country will fight, either solo or in a group, a beautiful scene.

Xia Zhiqiu didn't feel that she was touching her red gold-inlaid sleeves in the seat, she would be glamorous today.

"Miss Xia." A sound came from the side, "Please let us go, our instrumental music class is going up." ”

This voice is familiar with no origin.

She looked up and was met by a veiled face. The facial features are unrecognizable, but they always have an eight-point resemblance to the maid.

"Who are you?" Xia Zhiqiu pulled the woman's sleeve, his eyes revealing caution.

The woman smiled but didn't answer, and after the person behind her was gone, she suddenly leaned forward: "It's me, why did you forget me, Xia Zhiqiu." ”

It was the maid who was bought by Xia Zhiqiu.

"You're not dead yet?" After recognizing it, Xia Zhixue's eyes were filled with fear, how could this be...... Obviously, the man in black has already killed her......

The maid didn't say a word, and lip-synched.

I'm just not dead yet, but your death is not far off.

In a trance, the dances of each vassal country have already been performed.

When it is the turn of his country, it is expected that Xia Zhiqiu will play. Courier

Xia Zhiqiu was dressed in a gorgeous dance dress, her steps were vain, she walked to the center of the stage step by step, and danced to the music.

The music of the instrumental music class is completely different from the previous arrangement, the sound of the pipa is slow and urgent, and Xia Zhiqiu's dance movements are not right at all!

Seeing this, the envoys gloated: "Your Majesty, the dancing skills of the women of your country will not be so bad." ”

"Naturally not, don't worry." The emperor replied, like a meditative old monk, and he couldn't see any panic.

As soon as the music ended, a team of men and women suddenly poured into the field.

The man plays the sword to the music, and the woman dances on the man's sword, stepping on the blade of the sword, which is powerful and heroic.

Quite a few people are already dumbfounded.

The envoys who sneered at themselves were silent, and they unconsciously felt more profound in the face of the impact of such a dance on their country.

Xia Zhiqiu is still on stage, she has been so broken by this one accident after another that she can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, like a clown jumping off the beam.

She couldn't remember how she ended up in the end.

A grand palace banquet, Xia Zhiqiu has been losing face.

Her deeds at the palace banquet soon spread, and the voice that ridiculed Xia Zhiqiu was higher and higher, and she was unconsciously panicked.

Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu returned home in a carriage. The former lazily leaned against the collapse in the carriage and yawned softly.

"In my opinion, Xia Huaiqing will be mad when he goes back." Xia Zhixue remembered Xia Zhiqiu's performance today, and her eyebrows bent unconsciously.

"It's inevitable, Xiahou Ye has always had a good face." Ouyang Huaiyu also echoed leisurely.

Along the way, the two walked guessing how Xia Huaiqing would treat Xia Zhiqiu.

Xiahou Mansion.

Xia Zhiqiu came back with Xia Huaiqing.

She followed behind Xia Huaiqing without saying a word and called, "Dad." ”

Xia Huaiqing ignored her and walked straight into the study. Xia Zhixue gritted her teeth and stubbornly followed.

In the study, there are only father and daughter.

Xia Huaiqing sat on the Taishi chair, while Xia Zhiqiu knelt in front of him, staring at the wicker in his hand, which was already a little old.

Wicker has always been a weapon used by Xia Huaiqing to punish his ineffective subordinates.

Xia Zhiqiu, who has always had a bottom in his heart, understood for the first time what panic is.

"What did you do wrong at the banquet today?" The voice came from a high place, and Xia Huaiqing squinted his eyes, "At first, I didn't leave because of the Nineteen Princes, and I couldn't keep up with the dance in the back?" ”

"This ......," Xia Zhiqiu didn't know where to start, "my daughter didn't rely on the nineteenth prince, but just a group of long-tongued women who were going to splash this basin of dirty water on me." ”

Xia Huaiqing understands the truth of false rumors, it is impossible to come out of nowhere, and he understands it, and he does not criticize Xia Zhixue's pitiful words.

Instead, he changed the subject: "What about dance?" ”

A cold light flashed in Xia Zhiqiu's eyes: "The repertoire in my daughter's newspaper was not this one, but there was a person in the instrumental music class who had a holiday with me, and she secretly replaced it." ”

The man she spoke of was a maid.

At this point, Xia Zhiqiu's abacus played very well. Since he doesn't have the ability to dispose of the maid, he will borrow a knife to kill people.

She didn't believe that a person who deliberately swept away the majesty of the country would be turned a blind eye to, or even connived at, by the emperor.

It's a pity that Xia Zhiqiu's good abacus has made a big mistake here. She had no idea that the emperor would not only not condemn the maid, but would shield her.

Hearing this, Xia Huaiqing's face turned slightly pale.

"I probably didn't have this thing happen this time, but if there is a next time, I think you should know the outcome."

How ruthless Xia Huaiqing was, Xia Zhiqiu understood it very early. She nodded, stumbled up from the ground, and escaped from the low-pressure study.
