This meal was naturally very happy, and Sanniang listened to Wang Jing talking about his meeting with Ding You in high spirits. and said that he learned a lot from Ding You.

Although Sanniang didn't understand all of them, it didn't affect her mood. Eating with the two men closest to you is a joy in itself.

After the meal, Wang Jing left, and Sanniang and Xuanshao returned home.

Sanniang was a little curious about the matter of Hadan Batel, but Xuan Shao was declared into the palace shortly after sending her home, so Sanniang had no way to inquire.

In the palace, it is as bright as day at night, and all kinds of palace lights and lanterns dazzle everyone's eyes. Today, the emperor held a banquet for the Mongolian envoys.

The second prince of Mongolia, Wu Enqi, entered Beijing for the first time, and naturally it was also the first time to enter the palace. The flying pavilion in the palace, the red wall of Biwa made the prince who grew up on the grassland amazed his heart.

The emperor was still very kind to this foreign nephew, rewarded him with a bunch of things, and left him to speak alone. After that, he let people set up a banquet, and left all the courtiers as accompaniment.

Originally, the two sides were still a little ignorant of each other, after all, there was a war between the two clans, and there were casualties on both sides, and there was a big gap in their hearts. Just a few wines, the Mongolian envoys revealed their true nature.

Although they are brave and aggressive, most of them are also straightforward people, and the etiquette of the Central Plains is far from their lives.

It's just that after three rounds of drinking, the two parties will inevitably have some disputes. Originally, in order to look good on the scene, most of the officials recruited by the emperor to accompany him this time were civil officials. However, he seems to have forgotten that if he does not fight, the military attaches are far inferior to the civilian officials compared to the ability to cause trouble.

So there is a scene like this.

"Come, drink! Done! What the hell are you using this thing for? It's too mother, our big man drinks and wants to use the big guy. A Zhongyuan spokesman spoke bummerously, and deliberately pretended to be a skilled envoy who snatched the wine glass of a civil official beside him. He handed over the jar in his hand.

The elegant civil official raised his eyelids and said, "Do you know the difference between animals and humans? ”

"Uh-what, what's the difference?" The Mongol burped and was puzzled.

The civil servant slowly took back his wine glass: "The beasts are free. But people know propriety, righteousness, and shame. There are four dimensions of the state, one is etiquette, two is righteousness, three is honesty, and four is shame. Honesty does not cover evil, and shame does not follow in vain. Therefore, if you don't pass the festival, you will be safe, if you don't advance yourself, the people will not be cunning, if you don't cover up evil, you will do self-improvement, and if you don't obey in vain, evil things will not be born. ”

The Mongolian envoy was dazed, and finally put the wine jar away, and said with a big grin: "You scholar, you are so verbose. Drink and drink, what books do you memorize? What etiquette is shameful? Can it be eaten as meat? When to drink? ”

……

Naturally, there is no way to harmonize the scene.

It wasn't until behind the second prince that a tall attendant stood up. He arched his hand to the emperor who was tilting his head to talk to the courtiers next to him.

The emperor was stunned and did not react.

Wu Enqi quickly stood up, and said a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, my entourage doesn't know etiquette, don't be surprised." ”

The emperor was very happy to listen to the second prince's upright and round Central Plains words, and his face was a little softer: "It's okay, but what is he talking about?" ”

Wu Enqi was a little embarrassed, and when he saw that the emperor was looking at him insistently, he could only say: "He said that it is not interesting to only drink, so it is better to come and have a try." ”

When the emperor heard this, he said with great interest: "How does he want to compete?" ”

Wu Enqi turned to ask his retinue. The two of them murmured for a while. Finally, Wu Enqi saluted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, he said that it is better than riding and shooting, better than wrestling, and better than anything else." ”

"Oh-" The Emperor nodded, as if pondering the feasibility.

Wu Enqi hurriedly said: "Just ignore him, this person relies on himself as a warrior of my father's prince." It's just that he likes to fight fiercely, and his favorite thing on weekdays is to find someone to fight. ”

The Emperor laughed very kindly: "Nothing, nothing. I happen to be a little bored, and since he wants to find someone to compete, let's compare. I wonder who this Mongolian warrior wants to compete against? ”

Wu Enqi glanced helplessly at the attendant behind him, turned his finger to the side and gently turned the wine glass, but he didn't drink much, his expression was cold, and the young man in black with a handsome appearance said: "He heard that Master Xuan's martial arts are very good, so his heart is itchy and he wants to compete with him." ”

The emperor looked at the black-clothed young man with a smile: "Xuan Shao, the Mongolian warriors are going to compete with you." ”

Xuan Shao raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Enqi, and Wu Enqi's round eyes were also curiously fixed on him, and when he saw him looking over, he smiled a little shyly. Xuan Shao's eyes swept over him, looking at the Mongolian warriors behind him.

He looked at it for a moment, but did not speak.

The Mongolian warrior was a little anxious, and muttered again.

Xuan Shao looked at it quietly, and Wu Enqi was about to open his mouth to translate, but Xuan Shao replied to the man lightly in Mongolian, without the meaning of getting up.

The Mongolian warrior was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then there was a look of disagreement on his face.

The emperor looked at it with a smile on the side, and when he saw this, he said to Xuan Shao: "Ah Shao, what did you say?" ”

"The minister said that the minister doesn't like meaningless fierce fights, and he can't do more than ten moves under me." Xuan Shao replied, his voice was cold, as if he was only stating one fact, and he didn't even have an explanation. It makes people see the itchy teeth.

The emperor coughed lightly and said to Wu Enqi: "My imperial nephew has always been like this, and I can't force him." "The expression is very difficult.

Wu Enqi hurriedly smiled and said that it was okay, it was his entourage who didn't understand the rules.

The Mongol retinue behind him muttered something indignantly, and Unqi glared at him fiercely.

The emperor was confused, but Xuan Shao's expression was inconvenient.

Just thought about it, but Xuan Shao opened his mouth and said another word. This time, without waiting for the emperor to ask, he took the initiative to report: "He said that the minister was afraid of losing, so he would not compare with him, but the minister felt that he was really vulnerable." If he doesn't believe him, he will find a scholar from a civil service to compare with him. ”

The emperor was stunned when he heard this: "Is this true?" "It's a shame to lose! The emperor also has vanity.

Xuan Shao groaned: "At least it can be a draw." ”

The emperor still trusted Xuan Shao very much, and when he heard this, he was relieved, and he didn't ask who that person was, but only looked at the Mongolian warriors whose faces were already green with a smile.

The man was already muttering again.

At this time, the officials of the Rifan Academy, who had some organic spirits, knew Mongolian, so they automatically translated it. Because of the movement here, everyone in the hall had already stopped drinking and quarreling. They all looked over to this side, and the words of the officials of the Ri Domain Court clearly fell into the ears of everyone.

"Hmph, since you dare to let a powerless scholar come to die, what am I afraid of? It's just that if he loses. You must not shirk my challenge, otherwise you will be a wasted person, and people will be ashamed! Also, I said ugly things ahead, fists and feet have no eyes, and it doesn't matter if the fight on the playing field is life or death, you'd better find someone who can stand it. ”

As soon as this statement came out. The officials here were so angry that they said, "Just like you, even I can crush you with one hand!" It's enough to deal with you as a scholar! "It's just a matter of saying, but no one really stands up.

Someone said to Xuan Shao: "Master Xuan, you should quickly teach this reckless man a lesson." ”

Xuan Shao turned a deaf ear to all these provocations, turned his head and whispered a word to the person behind him, and the person immediately took the order.

The emotions of all the people in the palace were aroused, and the Mongols and the ministers consciously stood on two sides. The great eunuch beside the emperor hurriedly asked people to clean up the large area in the middle of the hall. So that it is convenient to wait for the fight.

Everyone was talking, and they were all very curious about their own people who were about to appear, and they speculated.

Slowly, even the emperor became a little curious. Asked Xuan Shao: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Xuan Shao was about to speak, and a tall and straight young man outside had already walked into the hall step by step.

Everyone in the hall was stunned, and the scene was quiet.

"Huh? Lord Wang? Isn't this your brat? A civil official asked Wang Dongdao, who was already stunned when he stood beside him.

Wang Dong opened his mouth, looked at Wang Jing, and turned his head to look at his son-in-law, although he was also in a cold sweat, he still pretended to be calm and said "hmm" gently. This expression seems unfathomable to outsiders.

Wang Jing walked into the hall with an inexplicable face, but he naturally understood what kind of occasion this was, so he first respectfully walked to the emperor and bowed.

The emperor glanced at Xuan Shao, and asked Wang Jing to get up with a kind smile: "You are the son of Lord Wang Dong, the squire of the Criminal Department?" He had heard the talk from below.

Wang Jing complied. Although it was the first time he had seen a driver, he was born there, and he was nervous, but he was not flustered, and his response was natural and decent.

The emperor glanced at Xuan Shao again with a smile, "I thought you were going to let someone take on this challenge for you." It turned out to be your brother-in-law. It's just that the Wang family has always been a civil official, and this kid's physique looks okay, but is there a fight...... Are you sure you want to get him on? ”

Although it was only a competition, it was obvious that this was a disguised provocation by the Mongols, and if they lost, it would be more than just a shame. Whatever competition involves the country and the nation will become complicated.

Xuan Shao pondered for a while, Wang Xian had already walked over, and his emperor said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that my children will be ignorant and will make jokes in the palace, and I also ask Your Majesty to give the old minister the crime of lax family education." ”

Wang Dong also knelt down and pleaded guilty.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Xuan Shao, who nodded and looked at Wang Jing.

When Wang Jing was just called in, he didn't understand what the man said, but now there is still someone who understands. He was a little excited in his heart, but he was not half afraid, and even the nervousness just now disappeared. He knew that if he wanted to take the path he wanted to take, today might be an opportunity, and if he missed this opportunity, he would regret it.

Clenched his fists, Wang Jing knelt down with Wang Xian and Wang Dong, but raised his head firmly and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, although the student was born in the family of Wenchen, our Wang family has always only thought of serving the country with loyalty, so what does it matter if you are for literature or for martial arts?" As long as the court needs it, Wenchen can also go into battle to kill the enemy, and the horse leather shroud. The students are not talented, and they are willing to share their worries for His Majesty, and they will not hesitate to break their bones! I beg Your Majesty to allow the students to fight! ”

He is a "student", obviously a son of the government and the middle school, and the future reserve civil official of the DPRK and China, but his words are sonorous and powerful, which makes people moved.

Wang Xian Wang Dong looked at this junior who was not very outstanding on weekdays in shock, and his heart was very complicated.

The emperor was a dragon-faced person, and he felt that he had a very long face, and he laughed and said to the left and right: "A good Wenchen can also go into battle to kill the enemy, and the horse leather shroud." I have a student like you, how can I be afraid of any barbarian thief? Naturally, my country is also stable. After being loyal and good, your Wang family is a talent! ”

Wang Xian and Wang Dong said anything at this time, and it would be useless.

Wang Xian looked at Wang Jing with some concern, just now the Mongolian warrior said that it doesn't matter if he lives or dies. Wang Dong was also very worried in his heart, Wang Jing learned from the martial artist for a few moments, he knew it, saying that he was not in good health when he was young, in order to strengthen his body. But as for whether he could defeat the Mongol warrior, Wang Dong almost did not give up hope. But the emperor has spoken, what can he do? I just ask the Mongols not to be too ruthless.

Wang Jing was really excited when he heard the emperor's words, and he promised to let him appear!

Xuan Shao said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister still has a few words to explain to him." ”

The emperor understood that he was afraid that he would have to teach art on the spot, and he sharpened his gun on the spot, so he nodded happily and agreed.

So Xuan Shao called Wang Jing aside and said a few words to him, and Wang Jing listened very carefully. Although he wants to seize this opportunity, he also understands that his fists and feet have no eyes. He also wants to live to fulfill his ambitions. And Xuan Shao's actual combat kung fu he has seen and seen, which makes him admire.

Xuan Shao carefully analyzed for him: "I just looked at the general texture of his body, he should practice heavy weapons on weekdays, and the lower plate is very stable." You have good stamina and flexibility, so try not to engage him in hand-to-hand combat later. When his patience is exhausted, he will focus on attacking several vulnerable acupoints on his back: Shoulder Well, Big Spine, Lifegate, Changqiang, Lung Yu, Yin Yu, and Kidney Yu. Don't care about anything else, you can't fight him with all your strength and skill. "To put it bluntly, this is actually opportunistic cheating. But the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and it is good to be able to win. In the end, there is really nothing to say, this kind of battle, in the end, you have to rely on yourself.

"I tried your kung fu that day, and if I had done it the way I had just done, it wouldn't have been difficult to win against him. But have you figured it out? After all, this is a risk, as I have just said, on the test field, life and death do not matter. Xuan Shao frowned.

Wang Jing grinned when he heard this: "I'm going!" Don't worry, I'm going to win. Wang Jing's eyes shone brightly. (To be continued)
