Chapter 773: Intractable
In Lin Yueji's little anxious anticipation, Mu Hongli also entered the venue and communicated with one of the examiners, Lin Yueji noticed that one of the four was an old acquaintance - Xia Zhiping.
Xia Zhiping has always given people the impression of being crepe, but he didn't expect it to be so deeply hidden.
There are two left, one is Nangong Qi, a side branch of the queen's mother's family, and the other is Li Ran of the Li family, that is, Li Shishi's brother.
Hearing Li Shishi's name, Lin Yueji was stunned, so Xia Zhiping is fighting against his brother-in-law?
No, now that their interests are tied together, I don't know if they will join forces to deal with Mu Hongli.
Thinking like this, Lin Yueji became more and more worried.
Thinking like this, a gentle voice sounded in his ears, "Lord Bingying, can I sit here?" ”
Thinking about something, Lin Yueji looked up and saw Li Shishi in a formal suit standing in front of her.
The smile is as bright as the sun, and the beauty is as weak as water, as if it is a sin to speak loudly.
Lin Yueji smiled at her, "I'm sorry, I don't know if you can sit here, isn't there a specially arranged steward eunuch?" Miss Li can go and ask. ”
Lin Yueji saw Li Shishi's expression cracked for a moment, but she quickly whitewashed the peace, and smiled innocently, "I'm sorry, I was reckless, the last time I met with the county lord of Bingying, I had to separate before I had time to talk about it in detail in the future, and when I saw the county lord, I thought about coming forward to take care of it, I didn't want to be rude, sorry." ”
"No problem." Lin Yueji doesn't hate Li Shishi, but she can't have a good impression of her, but this is too elegant to speak, not her thing.
"Then let me go over and ask the father-in-law in charge, if he allows me, can I sit next to you?" It's good to have someone to talk to. ”
"I'm sorry, but I wasn't going to talk while they were playing."
Lin Yueji told the truth, but after speaking, she felt that she seemed to dislike Li Shishi's meaning.
Forget it, whatever she thinks.
Li Shishi went for a while and came back, sat down beside Lin Yueji, and began to speak, "County Lord, who do you think will become the martial champion?" ”
"I don't know." In fact, Lin Yueji thought it would be Mu Hongli, but she didn't plan to say it, lest the people next to her hear it and make up some inside story.
Li Shishi sighed, "Then who do you hope will win?" ”
"Of course it's Mu Hongli, he's my master's younger brother, we're a family, don't you want Lord Xia to win, Miss Li?" Li Yueji felt that Li Shishi was a little noisy, which was completely different from the quiet performance in front of Xia Zhi's plane.
"But I also have an older brother down there, I hope they both can win, in case they meet, I don't know, it's so tangled, I hope they don't meet in the first game."
"Hmm." Lin Yueji hoped that they would meet in her heart.
"County Lord, why did you think about joining in the fun today?" Li Shishi asked again.
Lin Yueji suddenly felt that the women in the capital were thicker than the women in other places, and she had become more and more perfunctory to Li Shishi, but Li Shishi still pretended to be indifferent.
She didn't want to go too far, and said, "Come and cheer for my Manulife." ”
"I heard that the county lord has been with Mu Gongzi's childhood sweetheart since he was a child, and he is really envious."
Does Li Shishi really not know how to look at people's faces? Lin Yueji doesn't think so, how many children who grew up in the capital can't look at their faces?
Maybe Li Shishi said so much just to wait for her answer.
The matter between Xia Zhiping and Mrs. Ying before was not to mention the uproar, but there were few people in the circle who didn't know, Li Shishi was beating around the bush like this, just to make sure that between her and Xia Zhiping, there was really nothing.
Although she didn't like Li Shishi, Lin Yueji still planned to fulfill her wishes, so that she wouldn't continue to entangle her in the future.
"yes, we've been playing together since we wore open crotch pants."
"I envy you so much, and I hope you will never be separated."
Lin Yueji nodded, "Separation or not separation is secondary, don't worry, our affairs will not affect the affairs between you and Xia Zhiping." ”
was exposed, Li Shishi was not annoyed at all, but smiled even brighter, "Princess Bingying is really a smart person, Shishi admires it, and I hope you will do what you say." ”
The provocation and warning meaning of this sentence was too obvious, Lin Yueji felt uncomfortable when she heard it, and she went back, "I also hope that you will take care of Lord Xia, and don't let him have a chance to harass me." ”
"Don't worry, it won't."
Looking at Li Shishi's somewhat depressed appearance, Lin Yueji felt comfortable.
Sure enough, happiness based on other people's depression is the coolest happiness.
I can't help but think of Mu Jiu's words, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, but if people offend me, don't blame me for being unkind.
However, she didn't go too far, lest Mu Hongli and Xia Zhiping not see each other well in the future.
At this moment, Lin Yueji felt that the atmosphere suddenly became serious, and was mixed by Mu Yuanshan and stood up.
The much-anticipated Emperor Xia came in front of a bunch of generals.
After Lin Yueji knelt down with everyone, he sat in his seat and waited for the opening.
When Emperor Xia said the lottery, she suddenly became nervous, not knowing who Mu Hongli could draw.
In terms of interests, she hoped that Mu Hongli would not face Nangong in the first game, because the interests of the Mu family and the Nangong family were the same.
Just when Lin Yueji was so nervous that she almost blurted out the words of prayer, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Li Shishi.
Lin Yueji was almost startled, but fortunately, Mu Yuanshan grabbed Lin her other hand and said in a low voice, "Don't be nervous, believe in Manulife, he can win no matter who he faces." ”
Li Shishi and Lin Yueji were very close to each other, "County Lord, I'm nervous." ”
Nonsense, who is not nervous about the stakeholders, but Lin Yueji doesn't want to talk to her, and the emperor is still watching from the highest position.
I thought that Li Shishi would say that sentence, but who knows, she thought again, "County Lord, I'm so nervous, are you nervous?"
"Your Majesty!" Lin Yueji reminded her in a low voice, so as not to be affected by her.
Li Shishi shut up at this time, and at this time, the results of the lottery in the center of the competition had already come out.
Heaven did not fulfill people's wishes, Mu Hongli faced Nangong Qi, Xia Zhiping faced Li Ran, Xia Zhiping and Li Ran went first.
It will be advantageous to play first, because in the second game, they can rest for a while and then play the third game.
Lin Yueji's heart lifted, but Li Shishi looked a little stunned, as if the champion was either her brother or Xia Zhiping, "Oh my God! I didn't expect us to be so lucky!"
Lin Yueji's face was no different, and he had already scolded in his heart, knowing that you were lucky, but you can't be embarrassed in front of an "unfortunate" opponent, so as not to make people think that you are very unqualified!
However, after coming to the capital, Lin Yueji has seen too many such people, in order to compete for the wind and be jealous, she disguised herself as a little fairy in front of a man, and when the man was not there, she immediately tore off her disguise and became an old witch.
Accustomed to it, Lin Yueji shrugged her shoulders and didn't speak, so as not to attract too much attention.
Moreover, even if she doesn't know the rules of the competition very well, she still knows that today's competition is just to accumulate scores, and tomorrow she will also test riding and archery and her insights into the art of war, even if Mu Hongli loses all the competitions, she still has a chance to get it back.
What is there to do!
But she didn't say it, but Li Shishi was unwilling, and continued to lean close to her ear and said, "County Lord, why don't you speak?"
"I truly respect the emperor."
Lin Yueji's words are not leaky, and no one can find a flaw after listening to it.
Li Shishi didn't dare to be too presumptuous, sat down with a calm face, and waited for Xia Zhiping to defeat Li Ran.
Lin Yueji didn't know martial arts, but she felt that Li Ran didn't use all her strength, and seemed to intend to let Xia Zhiping win the competition a little easier.
When it comes to interests, Lin Yueji understands that there is a saying that being smart is mistaken by being smart.
With Emperor Xia's shrewdness, how could he not see that they were cheating, a person who came to power by cheating in the eyes of the emperor, how good can the emperor's impression of him be in the future? Xia Zhiping's career is just that.
I didn't expect Xia Zhiping's vision to be so short-sighted!
Lin Yueji had a feeling in her heart, "Fortunately, I didn't choose him at the beginning".
Lin Yueji looked at it again, but Mu Hongli and Nangong were inseparable, and several times the danger came out, but they were all resolved by the superb martial arts skills of the two, but they didn't expect that after a competition, the two fought for an hour, but Nangong was tired and fainted.
Amid everyone's applause, Mu Hongli fell.
This is unprecedented in the previous martial arts exams, how can it be compared next?
Without waiting for Emperor Xia to speak, someone suggested, "Your Majesty, Mu Hongli is fighting so hard, it is better to ...... directly"
Emperor Xia Dong's eyes glared directly, and his beard was sideways, "Directly what?" Didn't you see that Mu Hongli was so tired that he fainted? ”
"Lord Xia won easily, but Mu Hongli fought a difficult game, to the point of exhausting himself, Your Majesty, in comparison, the victory or defeat is already obvious!" The man did not give up.
Emperor Xia's face became gloomy, "Are I the emperor or are you the emperor?" Shall I give you my place? ”
The man was so frightened that he knelt down, "The minister knows that he is wrong, and the emperor spares his life!" The emperor spares his life! There is absolutely no half-heartedness! ”
"Get up, forgive me for not daring to have bad intentions!" Emperor Xia didn't punish that person, but no one dared to say anything more then.
Emperor Xia directly announced that the last game would be postponed to the next day, and the imperial doctor went to carry Nangong and Mu Hongli in time, after Emperor Xia left, Mu Yuanshan and Lin Yueji couldn't sit still anymore, and the two supported each other and walked in the direction where Mu Hongli was carried away.
In the resting place on the side, the two met Mu Hongli and Nangong Qi.
Bai Sheng was wiping Mu Hongli's wounds, sighing while wiping, his brows were tightly locked, and when he saw Mu Yuanshan, it was like seeing a savior, "Old Mu, you are here!" ”
"Hmm." Mu Yuanshan was anxious, but his body couldn't keep up with his thoughts, and he couldn't walk fast, "What's wrong?" ”
"It looks like I've got internal injuries." Bai Sheng wasn't sure, "I have to check further." ”
"I'll do it." Mu Yuanshan walked to Mu Hongli's side and began to diagnose his pulse, the horizontal lines on his forehead slowly turned into vertical lines, and he became serious.
"It's no big deal, carry the person back first." After Mu Yuanshan finished speaking, he stood up and asked Lin Yueji to support him.
Bai Sheng hurriedly found someone to lift Mu Hongli to follow, but someone carried Nangong but followed behind.
Lin Yueji chuckled in her heart, "Very serious?" ”
