Chapter 203 Chapter 203 (Part II)

With the end of the second draw, Wen Song and Li Wenhao, who were in the first group of competitions, made a little preparation and went to the ring. And Lu Hong and Zheng Tong were still sitting in the corner of the main hall, waiting for the upcoming competition.

Compared with Wen Song and Li Wenhao, Lu Hong and Zheng Tong's group is much more intense. Because from the ranking of the four in the literary examination, Lu Hong and Zheng Tong are ranked behind Wen Song and Li Wenhao, and if any of the two loses, they can only be fourth. Although the ranking of the fourth place is also very conspicuous, it is still much worse than the titles of "Wu Zhuangyuan", "Wu Bangyan" and "Wu Tanhua".

Although Lu Hong was very confident that he would be able to defeat Zheng Tong, he did not dare to relax himself too much. Looking at Zheng Tong opposite, Lu Hong was thinking about Zheng Tong's moves over and over again in his mind. And Lu Erniang, who was sitting in the main hall and didn't know much about her son's martial arts, looked at Lu Hong very nervously.

Zheng Tong's mother, Mrs. Zheng, and his sister Zheng Fangfei were also a little nervous. But the mother and daughter behaved more, glaring at Lu Erniang and Lu Xiang'er angrily, and they couldn't wait to make two holes in their bodies. For Lu Hong, the mother and daughter were even more eager to step forward to knock him unconscious and prevent him from going on stage to compete with Zheng Tong.

As for Lu Hong's biological father Zheng Baiyang, he looked at Lu Hong with complicated eyes, his biological son who had not met for more than ten years. In Zheng Baiyang's heart, before he met Lu Hong, he only had one son, Zheng Tong. But when he saw Lu Hong in Jingshi, Zheng Baiyang suddenly realized that he also had an eldest son. Especially seeing that the eldest son's demeanor is better than Zheng Tong's, Zheng Baiyang is proud and wants Lu Hong to return to the Zheng family.

But the Zheng family is in charge of Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Zheng's aunt, this old woman only recognizes Zheng Tong, and she doesn't want to recognize Lu Erniang's son at all. Zheng Baiyang mentioned it several times without success, so he had to give up and no longer had this idea. Unexpectedly, the news of Lu Hong's friendship with many nobles in the capital reached the Zheng Mansion. Mrs. Zheng thought about recognizing Lu Hong and paving the way for Zheng Tong through Lu Hong's relationship.

Zheng Baiyang looked at Lu Hong and didn't look at him at all, sighed lightly and withdrew his gaze. Zheng Baiyang was very happy that Mrs. Zheng spoke, but unfortunately he saw that Lu Hong didn't want to go back to the Lu family at all, let alone have anything to do with his biological father. Recently, Zheng Baiyang's heart will always have an idea, whether he really did something wrong and misunderstood Lu Erniang.

Thinking of Lu Erniang, Zheng Baiyang's gaze couldn't help but turn to the opposite side again. Looking at Lu Erniang, who had not seen her for more than ten years but had not changed much, Zheng Baiyang's mind became complicated again. Thinking back to those warm lives when he and Lu Erniang first got married, Zheng Baiyang felt cold all over. Feeling the coldness, Zheng Baiyang turned his head and saw Song Yuan's cold gaze. From that gaze, Zheng Baiyang saw the scene of Song Yuan talking to him alone, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat and lowered his head slightly.

Song Yuan saw Zheng Baiyang lower his head, and then looked out of the hall with a sneer. At this time, Wen Song and Li Wenhao in the ring had already divided the winners and losers. A loyal and brave Li Wenhao has superior skills and won the applause of the whole hall. Although Wen Song, who came from a scholarly family, was still defeated, Lord Wen and Mrs. Wen were all smiling, as if they were very satisfied with Wen Song's performance.

"Xiang'er, you said Zheng Tong and your brother, who will win?" Wen Yao watched Lu Hong and Zheng Tong get up and walked outside the hall but couldn't help but ask Lu Xiang'er, and there was still a trace of worry in her eyes.

Lu Xiang'er heard the emotion in Wen Yao's tone, and she was very happy for Lu Hong. Thinking that He Ya was also in the hall, Lu Xiang'er couldn't help herself and glanced at her. Finding the nervousness in He Ya's eyes, Lu Xiang'er was shocked, and hurriedly said to Wen Yao: "Sister Yao'er, don't worry. When my brother came to the palace in the morning, he was full of faith, and he would grant you your wish. ”

"You little girl, what do you mean by 'call me as you wish', see if I don't clean you up." Hearing Lu Xiang'er's last few words, Wen Yao's face immediately turned crimson and scratched Lu Xiang'er's armpit.

Fortunately, the atmosphere in the main hall was very relaxed, and most people were whispering. Not many people paid attention to Lu Xiang'er and Wen Yao, and the two of them laughed quietly without scruples. In less than half an hour, Huo Qingqing and Chaoxia were also pulled in. The four of them laughed at each other, and after a while, their faces were slightly red, and they all looked like blooming flowers, but they attracted a lot of attention.

Especially the young sons opposite, only then did they notice that there were four little ladies sitting together opposite, smiling like flowers together, comparing the little ladies around them. There was someone who was anxious, so he had already begun to ask the people around him about the news of Lu Xiang'er and the four of them. Well-informed, knowing the identities of the four people, immediately turned out his mind and looked out of the hall honestly. And those who don't understand have already made up their minds to take the initiative to talk to them at the palace banquet.

From the head of Concubine Niangniang, Princess Jingrou, who could still see the movements of the people below, also saw the behavior of the four people. Of course, Princess Jingrou was mainly looking at Lu Xiang'er, and her smiling face was very dazzling. Princess Jingrou, who was stabbed, wanted to walk over, and raised her hand to slap Lu Xiang'er. Although His Majesty the Emperor had promised her to give Huo Qingsong the Chunxi beside her as a concubine, Princess Jingrou really didn't want Lu Xiang'er to marry Huo Qingsong.

Glancing at Ju Yue'er, the princess of Gaochangguo beside her, and then at Ju Chenhao, the prince of Gaochang on the other side, Princess Jingrou's face raised a very meaningful smile. When she restrained her smile, she smiled at Ju Yue'er in a low voice: "I don't know how Sister Yue'er looks at my Da Zhou Erlang......"

The hall is very lively, and the ring outside the hall is also very intense. Lu Hong and Zheng Tong exchanged hands on stage, and they were shocked. As for how capable Zheng Tong is, Huo Qingsong has already inquired and told Lu Hong clearly, and Lu Hong has already had an impression in his heart. But in today's ring, Lu Hong suddenly felt that Zheng Tong's martial arts seemed to be much stronger than he imagined.

"Hey, I don't think something is right." Wen Song, who had already sat back between Master Wen and Song Yuan, looked at it for a long time and had some confusion on his face. couldn't figure it out, so Wen Song looked at Li Wenhao. After discovering that Li Wenhao's expression was also a little serious, Wen Song nodded, but his heart sank and continued to look outside.

In the entire hall, except for a few people with strong martial arts, most people couldn't understand it. Li Xingzhou, who was sitting next to Song Beiqiao, had already frowned and began to look at Zheng Baiyanglai. But seeing that Zheng Baiyang's face had not changed, but there was confusion and surprise in his eyes, Li Xingzhou had a straight face and brushed up his beard. But Song Beiqiao was silent, just kept looking at Lu Hong and watching how he responded.

Chaoxia, who had been laughing with Lu Xiang'er, Wen Yao, and Huo Qingqing for a while, had already quieted down, and the three of them slowly reacted and looked at Chaoxia. Chaoxia looked at it for a while, with a coldness in her eyes, and said very calmly: "Then Zheng Tong is very likely to have taken some kind of medicine to make his strength strong and his moves fierce." ”

"Ah, will my brother win?" Lu Xiang'er has that kind of unreserved trust in Chaoxia, and when she heard Chaoxia say this, Lu Xiang'er asked anxiously. And the urgency on Wen Yao's face was no less than that of Lu Xiang'er, probably because of 'tender face', and she didn't open her mouth.

Chaoxia didn't move, just looked at the ring outside the hall, and her tone was a little cold: "This medicine is extremely domineering, but the time for the effect of the medicine is very short. You see that Zheng Tong is a little anxious now, and you can prove what I said. As long as Brother Hong can persevere, he will definitely win in the end. ”

"Lu Hong, if you let me win, I will persuade my grandmother to let you go back to the Zheng family and recognize you as my brother." Zheng Tong suddenly said such a sentence when he was rubbing with Lu Hong.

Lu Hong kept panting after hearing this, but he had a feeling of being ridiculous. Finding Zheng Tong's somewhat red eyes, Lu Hong felt strange in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but sneered: "Zheng Tong, I have already said it, my name is Lu." It was the Zheng family who welcomed me up and down, and I, Lu Hong, disdained the surname Zheng. ”

"Lu Hong, we are all blood-soaked in the Zheng family, and we are brothers, don't you think about brotherhood at all?" Zheng Tong wanted to shake his head and sober himself up. But Lu Hong refused to relax for a moment, Zheng Tong's heart was extremely hateful, but he had to think about the outcome and show some patience.

Lu Hong seemed to see that Zheng Tong was inappropriate, but instead changed his defense to attack, and even forced Zheng Tong to retreat a few steps. Lu Hong, who was happy in his heart, said coldly again in his mouth: "Brotherhood? You came to talk to me about brotherhood at this time, don't you think it's ridiculous? Let me tell you, I'm not here to 'meet friends with force' today, I'm here to win the championship." As a brother, I hope that when I win, I can get the sincere congratulations of my second brother. ”

Lu Hong refused to let go, and made sarcastic remarks, where could Zheng Tong, who had long been pampered, pull down his face again. Thinking that the effect of his medicine was about to pass, Zheng Tong's eyes immediately flashed with a fierce light. Seeing Lu Hong's fist coming, he even punched to meet him, wanting to hit him hard. Lu Hong had comprehended Zheng Tong's sudden increase in power before, and his face suddenly changed, but it was too late to retract his fist. When Zheng Tong saw Lu Hong's face, he immediately grinned the corners of his mouth, and almost laughed.

Lu Xiang'er and Wen Yao, who were sitting in the main hall, also saw the changes outside, and they were already holding each other's hands and feeling the sweat in each other's palms. Compared with Lu Xiang'er's concern for Lu Hong, Wen Yao remembered what Lu Hong had said to her at this time. If Lu Hong does not become the champion, he is not worthy of marrying her. At this moment, Wen Yao really wanted to tell Lu Hong that no matter whether he won or not, she would be his wife.

As for the place not far from Lu Xiang'er and the others, Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Fangfei were happy, and they got up slightly. Both mother and daughter were eager for the people in the hall, and they both looked at them, knowing that they were Zheng Tong's relatives. But at this time, a miserable scream sounded, Zheng Tong in the ring outside the hall was lying on his back on the platform, and Lu Hong was standing next to him with a calm face.
