Chapter 12, Day 7 (2)
Jiang Yangzi in the ring was radiant and excited. After saying this, he quietly turned his head sideways to glance at the two fellow disciples. A wry smile was revealed.
When his gaze came, Wang Yudu's eyes suddenly became stern, as if to say, I won't clean you up after returning to the sect.
Bai Heming, on the other hand, frowned slightly, and glanced at Jiang Yangzi's gaze very puzzled. She wanted to remind the second senior brother, don't be too cheap, have you forgotten the words of a few masters?
But Jiang Yangzi's next move completely surprised all the disciples of the Martial Sect. He looked around, and suddenly fell to his knees with a thud, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed. Then he fell on his knees and cried out in a loud voice,
"The minister is willing to do his best for the Tang Dynasty, if His Majesty agrees, the minister is willing to fight horses all his life, expand the territory, and make immortal achievements!"
“... I am willing to put the sword down my waist and go straight to kill Loulan!"
"Good!" "Good!"
Jiang Yangzi continued to say a word of allegiance with great ambition and pride, and his expression was very excited and sincere. After all, it has always been his wish to become an official in the dynasty and make contributions to his career. In the end, he ended with Li Taibai's heroic poems passed down by everyone, and he slowly stood up in Li Longji's satisfied applause. The surrounding crowd followed the example of His Majesty the Emperor and hurriedly gave him applause. Even the senior brothers and sisters behind him had to cheer for him along with everyone.
At this time, Yang Guozhong, who was sitting in front of the seat, suddenly stood up, applauded, and said to Jiang Yangzi with joy on his face,
"It's really rare for Brother Jiang to have such a lofty ambition! If you want to leave your sect in the future, go out of the mountains to complete a great cause. You can come and find your true nature at any time. You are quite accurate in your appearance, and you must be a great general without precedent in the future!"
Jiang Yangzi was grateful, turned around and bowed deeply, "Thank you for your praise!"
"Come on, come and sit next to me. After hearing his words, an official in a three-grade official uniform beside Yang Guozhong immediately obediently got up and stood behind, and Yang Guozhong personally walked to the front of the ring and pulled Jiang Yangzi, who was extremely excited, to his seat and sat down.
Li Longji's expression was very satisfied-well, this Yang Guozhong, in addition to discrediting An Lushan, was finally able to do some practical things and win over some talents needed by the imperial court.
Li Wan's feelings in his heart are exactly the same as those of Bai Heming. This Jiang Yangzi gave Yang Guozhong the first shot. Li Wan thought indignantly, and the ignorance of karma rushed to his heart. If it weren't for Jin Qifa holding down his left hand in time and instilling a trace of imperceptible aura into his body, Li Wan would definitely not be able to control his emotions.
Thinking of the rangers that Qin Blind said was good, there are still completely every trace of them. Li Wan took a deep breath and tried his best to calm the anger and irritability in his heart.
The three disciples of the Star Picking Sword Sect then retreated to the back. Wang Yudui directly returned to the sect master at the back of the ring and scolded Jiang Yangzi's behavior. And Jin Qifa beckoned to Bai Heming and asked her to come to him and Li Wan's side. The Nine Lotus Sect's gesture of goodwill, she really couldn't refuse directly, so she had to close the golden box and come to the two of them with it.
When the young disciple of the Wuzhi Sect stepped forward, the blind man of Qin suddenly whispered in Xia Fanxing's ear, "Friends are coming soon." ”
Xia Fanxing asked, but the blind man stopped talking. Soon, the Black Turban Sect disciples scattered behind the seats suddenly dispersed and walked towards both sides.
Xia Fanxing's heart tightened, and he quietly let go of Ji Yanliu's hand. She took Li Xijun with her other hand, stood by the bridge and poked her head out, watching the excitement with great joy, but she didn't even notice it. Xia Fanxing covered his face, took a step back, and said to the blind man Qin, "The disciple of the Black Turban Sect has moved. They're not coming for us, are they?"
Qin's blind man's expression also became serious, "You avoid it first, they may start to spy on everyone." I'll talk to you about it with Smoke Willow Girl. ”
"Good. Xia Fanxing didn't talk nonsense, after all, now that his aura was completely gone, he couldn't sense where these monks were, which was more dangerous. He slipped quietly out of the crowd, bent slightly, and squeezed into the crowd at the front of the ring.
Since His Majesty the Emperor sat in front of the ring, the people in this area were all at a certain distance from the front, it was very crowded and chaotic, and almost all of them were shoulder to shoulder, so Xia Fanxing chose to squeeze into it.
Finally, one or two auras were captured by him. Although he couldn't gather his spirits, his long-term sensitivity to breath made Xia Fanxing react quickly, dodging these two breaths and slowly shuttling through the crowd in the middle.
"Invite the warriors of the youth section to come to the stage!"
Maneuvering through the crowds is definitely not an easy task. Fortunately, the audience was quite interested, and they were very interested in the noble gifts given by the royal family, so that he walked around in this way without attracting insults from others. And after Gao Lishi shouted, Xia Fanxing suddenly felt that the two breaths had become three breaths, and they were getting closer and closer to him!
He was horrified. Since he couldn't circulate true qi in his body, he couldn't judge how close the other party was to him. Wearing a mask like this, walking around in the crowd, it's no wonder that the disciples of the Black Turban Sect don't doubt it!
It's just that those few auras are getting closer and closer, and Xia Fanxing can't help but stop in the crowd. He thought about it for a moment, quickly took off the mask on his face, hid behind him, and stood steadily, staring at the people in the ring.
For some reason, the other party seemed to be eyeing his position. It's hard to escape from this situation, he can only pretend to be a normal person, maybe... Escape.
As the breath approached, my heart became more and more nervous. Xia Fanxing's forehead was already soaked with layers of cold sweat, and he kept warning himself in his heart, don't panic, don't panic......
At this moment, there was a sudden flicker in front of his eyes, and the shadow of a palm appeared. Xia Fanxing shook his head vigorously, but found that he was not attacked by it, and his palm shadow disappeared all of a sudden. He touched his face suspiciously, and suddenly, an arm was wrapped around his neck, and there was a burst of medicinal fragrance from the side of his nose.
Xia Fanxing swallowed nervously, glancing out of the corner of his eye. To his left, a young man of relatively short stature, a head shorter than him, with a strange face and a very thin body. He was holding Xia Fanxing's neck and looking at the ring casually. And on his body, the Taoist robe, is... It's the robe of Yuanshou Mountain!
He couldn't help but jerk his head down. The short man's gaze met his. The man raised an eyebrow and gently wiped his face with his other hand. Xia Fanxing blinked, and wiped it on his face in imitation. The man smiled in satisfaction, nodded, and continued to look ahead.
At this time, Xia Fanxing, who hadn't looked back yet, felt a sense of tension in his heart that was a few points stronger than just now.
He knew who the girl standing behind him was. He hadn't looked back, and she hadn't called him yet. How could this be! Run away, run away, how can you escape to these two people!
And this man, what is he going to do to me?
"Yo, Black Turban Sect Quan Yang Daoyou, long time no see, long time no see. Why, you don't recognize me?"
The man from Yuanshou Mountain enthusiastically greeted the disciples of the Black Turban Sect who came in front of him. Xia Fanxing couldn't help lowering his face, thinking that it was really over, the disciple of Yuanshou Mountain actually wanted to pit him as a disciple of the Tu Feng Sect!
The disciple named Quan Yang seemed to have no Xia Fanxing, smiled and chatted with the man from Yuanshou Mountain, and then took the junior brother behind him and squeezed into the crowd further back.
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, this disciple of Yuanshou Mountain, his legal name is He Shou Wu.
After Quan Yang and the others left, Xia Fanxing was taken aback, and couldn't help touching his face in surprise, and suddenly looked at He Shouwu with a smile on his face in surprise as if he had opened his mind.
"Senior Brother Xia......" At this time, a glutinous girl's voice pressed all the words he wanted to say back into his stomach, bringing his thoughts to what seemed to be a long, long time ago.
"Uh... I..."
He Shouwu grabbed Xia Fanxing's neck and turned back. Now Xia Fanxing, who had no aura in his body, could only be at his mercy, and bumped into the faces of Han Ningxue and Han Qingdai behind them.
Now she is plain and does not apply fat powder. Thrushes have a nose and bright eyes and teeth. The green silk is coiled on the head and slightly hangs down to the cheeks. Her face was even fairer, or rather, snow-white. This also made Xia Fanxing feel that she had changed a lot. She had a beautiful flower pinned to her head. Only that pair of wonderful eyes, consistently affectionate.
Xia Fanxing couldn't understand her expression...
"Ahh Han..."
"Fellow Daoist, don't pretend, Senior Sister Qingdai, or Senior Sister Ning Xue, don't you know each other?"
"Fang Cai used the secret technique of the sect to apply a kind of disfigured pollen to the face of the Taoist friend at the critical moment just now. That's why these disciples of the Black Turban Sect didn't see you. ”
After seeing Han Ningxue, Xia Fanxing no longer knew what was going on in his head. He shook her hand in a daze, and replied in a daze. In the ring, all the noise in the crowd was left behind by him. His eyes were wide open, and it seemed difficult to determine who the girl in front of him was.
It wasn't until He Shouwu explained the situation to him just now that Xia Fanxing came back to his senses. Han Ningxue slowly took out a small bronze mirror from her robe, Xia Fanxing looked sideways, and her nose and face were swollen inside, and she couldn't see her face at all. He looked around and whispered to He Shouwu,
"He Daoyou, thank you for your help. ”
Xia Fanxing said very seriously. Now he has a very good impression of the disciples of Yuanshou Mountain. I have to say that the peach boy saved his life, and this He Shou Wu just saved him again. The friendship between Tu Fengzong and Yuanshoushan is indeed deep. He bowed earnestly and thanked him.
"After being a fellow Daoist, as a disciple of the Tu Feng Sect, it is best to change your appearance and then travel. Don't leave it to chance. He Shouwu said, turned around, and squeezed two steps forward, "Senior sister, let's talk about the two of you." ”
Xia Fanxing just wanted to hold him, and there were a bunch of questions he wanted to ask. At this time, the crowd began to crowd again. For some reason, the sea of people in front of us squeezed in the back again. Two or three people were coming back. Xia Fanxing had no choice but to retreat, and walked quickly to Han Ningxue's side, crowding in the crowd. He Shou Wu in front of him was already far away from them, and his thin figure was about to be drowned in the crowd.
"Han Daoyou..."The situation just now, it turned out that the masters of the major martial arts sects were about to take the stage for the final finale of the fighting competition. About twenty Martial Sect Masters showed their fancy entry in the crowd, which led to the brief chaos below. At this time, the crowd was about to squeeze into the dense housing group behind, and the distance between Xia Fanxing and Han Ningxue was very close.
She leaned in front of Xia Fanxing, the crowd was dense, and physical contact was unavoidable. As soon as He Shouwu left, Xia Fanxing didn't know what to say, her soft jade body leaned in front of her, but it made Xia Fanxing feel endlessly cramped. He had no choice but to shout like this.
And Han Ningxue's face immediately appeared a little unnatural. It seems that compared to when she just left Tu Feng Sect a few months ago, she already understands a lot of things.
"Xia Daoyou, you must be very strange, why did Senior Brother He and I appear here, right?" The two were very close, Xia Fanxing's mouth was almost close to her ear, and Han Ningxue whispered.
Her address to him has also changed from Senior Brother Xia who she just met to Xia Daoyou. Xia Fanxing's heart was slightly sour, and he smiled and whispered, "Yes." ”
If it weren't for the loud noise in their ears, the atmosphere of their current conversation would have been awkward. Han Ningxue pursed her lips, thought about it carefully, leaned her head back a little, and said slowly, "Our Yuanshou Mountain has always been friendly with the royal family, and we will also give the royal family some miraculous elixirs at such a grand event. A few days ago, Senior Brother He took me into the palace to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, King Rong and some other officials. Several gifts from Yuanshou Mountain were given. It's okay today, so let's take a look at the excitement. ”
"Hmm..." Han Ningxue's soft green silk was attached to his forehead, and there was almost no room for movement around him. After Xia Fanxing listened to her words, he felt all kinds of feelings in his heart. After a while, he slowly spoke, "You are in Yuanshou Mountain, are you doing well?"
When he said this, Xia Fanxing felt uncomfortable all over his body. The beautiful girl in front of her is completely different from the beautiful little sister. Han Ningxue's change, Xia Fanxing felt very thoroughly. Therefore, an ordinary greeting is a little difficult to say in his mouth.
"Good. Han Ningxue smiled and said a word, but her cheeks showed a slight flush. After another awkward silence, she continued to say slowly, "Senior Brother He is very good to me. Brother Pan Tao is too. Oh, by the way, do you know my new Dharma name in Yuanshou Mountain?"
The flower pinned to her head, purple, was a bouquet of indeitous flowers. Xia Fanxing smiled, "There is a little boy named Gongsun Longkui from your Yuanshou Mountain, he told me, your name is now Han Qingdai, right?"
"It's... That kid is cute. Han Ningxue said with a smile. The two were silent for a while, and she suddenly mentioned, "Since you gave me a name that day, I haven't seen Grandpa Shoujun show up again." ”
It's more like she's talking to herself. The crowd around him finally dispersed a little, and Xia Fanxing gently moved his hands beside Han Ningxue's waist. After hearing this, he didn't know why. It seems that a very long time has passed since Shoujun Xuanneng's conspiracy against this girl at that time, and Xia Fanxing feels that when he faces her, he is so strange, and he has no other impression of Shoujun. He had no choice but to casually respond, "Uh... Really?"
"Yes. ”
"Uh... This senior brother of yours, what kind of cultivation is he?" Han Ningxue didn't seem to notice that she had been talking to death. Xia Fanxing was also a little helpless, she wasn't like this before. After a while, the crowd was still relatively crowded, and he had to continue to be speechless.
"Senior Brother He, let's build the foundation in the middle stage. Originally, he also had the opportunity to go to the Ancient Sword Cave. He seems to have traveled to Chang'an many times on behalf of the sect before, and he seems to know a lot of people. In fact, he is about the same age as you, Daoyou. Han Ningxue said for Xia Fanxing.
"Hmm... He Daoyou must be a good person. I am also very grateful for his help. Xia Fanxing lowered his eyelids, said lightly, and didn't speak again. Looking at the main ring behind the seats on the stage, the masters of the major martial arts sects had already appeared. Standing in the huge main ring at this time was the first to guard the ring, the ancient merry master from the Taolin Boxing Sect.
The one who challenged him was Master Sun Qi, the eldest son of the Liangdao Martial Sect. Two old men with gray hair clasped their fists and saluted each other. The two big drums in the back were beaten, and the sound of dong dong became louder and louder.
That's when they came.
